Record operating performance in FY21 
It is my pleasure to present the CEO report for  the year ended 30 June 2021 (FY21) for Teaminvest Private Group 
Limited (TIP) and the strong and resilient operating performance it contains. 

FY21  was  a  record  Segment  Result  for  the  group:  a  pleasing  achievement  considering  the  ongoing  coronavirus 
pandemic and ever-changing restrictions. Our portfolio leadership teams have again  risen to the challenge  and, as 
owners of our business, you should be proud of their accomplishments.  

Segment Results  

Segment Results are the normalised revenue and EBITDA for each segment of our Group. They provide shareholders 
with the best approximation of our operating performance, and it is the figure that we (as management) spend most 
time discussing. Whilst we find Segment Results to be the most useful measure of our performance, they often differ 
from  Statutory  Consolidated  Income  reported  in  accordance  with  accounting  standards.  This  is  discussed  further 
below. 

Segment Revenue 
($m) 

Segment EBITDA 
($m) 

Group  Segment  EBITDA  was 
up  9%  on  FY20  to  $14.7m,  a 
new  record  for  the  Group 
(pre-abnormals).  Whilst  we 
regard 
less 
revenue 
important  than  profit  (as  the 
saying  goes:  “revenue 
is 
vanity while profit is sanity”), 
Segment Revenue was also a 
record,  growing  by  5%  to 
$144.6m. 

as 

trailer 
Our  world-leading 
engineering business Graham 
Lusty Trailers (GLT) (Engineering Division, 100% owned) delivered a third consecutive record year in FY21. GLT’s focus 
on market-leading innovation, quality and efficiency saw revenue (up 4% compared to FY20) and EBITDA (up 52%) 
grow substantially from already record highs. GLT’s unique designs command a substantial premium in the transport 
market, and their never-ending quest for innovation continues to enhance their reputation as the “Rolls Royce” of 
bulk haulage. Happily, the use of a GLT trailer adds so much to most haulage companies’ bottom line, that customers 
now place orders up to a year in advance just to secure a booking in GLT’s busy Brisbane facility. 

East Coast Traffic Control (ECT) (Services Division, 100% owned) similarly delivered a third consecutive record year, 
achieving  excellent  improvements  in  revenue  (up  16%  compared  to  FY20)  and  EBITDA  (up  55%).  ECT’s  focus  on 
innovation,  safety  and  client  delivery  continues  to  grow  their  scale  and  reputation.  As  ECT  looks  to  grow  beyond 
Queensland, their nimble depot model and strict adherence to the highest ethical standards gives us confidence that 
the enthusiastic team will continue to deliver scale and profit improvements. It has also been particularly pleasing to 
watch the leadership team grow and transition over the course of the second half of FY21.

Icon Metal (Engineering Division, 100% owned) also delivered a third consecutive record revenue and earnings in FY21. 
As in FY20, this growth was primarily driven through improvements in second tier management capability, enabling 
Icon Metal to take on larger and more complex projects. Revenue (up 21% compared to FY20) and EBITDA (up 28%) 
continue to grow as Icon Metal impresses their clients whilst securing and training even more talented engineering 
staff. The successful execution of these projects by Icon Metal’s talented and energetic team secures their position as 
the architectural metalwork firm of choice for Tier 1 construction projects in Sydney. 

Multimedia  Technology  (MMT)  (Services  Division,  30%  owned),  our  only  Melbourne  headquartered  business, 
pleasingly achieved a third consecutive year of record results in FY21. Despite interruptions from COVID lockdowns, 
supply constraints and operating limitations, MMT grew revenue (up 4% compared to FY20) and EBITDA (up 30%). 
Growth  was  primarily  driven  by  MMT’s  agility  in  navigating  the  stressful  and  ever-changing  environment.  The 
leadership  displayed  by  the  company’s  founder  and  CEO,  John  Hassall,  cannot  be  understated  in  this  outstanding 
result. MMT continues to build this mindset of agility and opportunity beyond John’s direct oversight,  allowing the 
business to gain market share and margins at the expense of more hidebound competitors.  

Rounding out the fifth of our Portfolio Companies to deliver a third consecutive record result is Colour Capital (Services 
Division, 33% owned). Colour Capital is a franchise management business that operates the GJ Gardner home building 
master franchises for NSW/ACT and WA, the Gold’s Gym’s business in Australia and New Zealand and the Raw Energy 
café’s business in Australia. Despite the impact of COVID on all three arms of the business, Colour Capital delivered 
record revenue (up 38% compared to FY20) and EBITDA (up 62%).  

On the other side of the ledger from these excellent Portfolio Company results was the poor performance of Coastal 
Energy (Engineering Division, 100% owned). I wrote in my half-yearly letter that we had been disappointed with the 
former management and had made changes to improve the culture. Unfortunately, these changes came too late to 
avoid the loss of the company’s Energex license in April and the need for a drastic company restructure. The result is 
that we booked an operating EBITDA loss from Coastal Energy of $1.5m for FY21 and took a further non-operating 
charge of $5.2m (discussed further below). Whilst the Energex rating has not yet been returned, the new leadership 
team has successfully restructured the business and our staff are back at work with a strict focus on safety, integrity, 
and respect. Whilst the learnings of FY21 have been painful, we expect  that Coastal Energy will ultimately recover 
stronger from the experience.  

Acquisitions, mergers and disposals 
In FY21 we acquired two new Portfolio Companies: Automation Group and Teaminvest. We also merged four of our 
existing Portfolio Companies (Kitome, DecoGlaze, The Step Ahead Builders Assistant and Forever Glass Art) into one 
new entity (TIP Residential Group, Services Division) with a united leadership to capitalise on synergies between the 
businesses.  

No disposals of Portfolio Companies occurred in FY21. 

Automation Group 
Automation  Group  (Engineering  Division,  100%  owned)  is  a  niche  distribution  and  support  business  that  works  to 
empower a smarter future with state-of-the-art remote industrial monitoring and control technology used in defence, 
power, gas, mining, rail, transport and water industries. Integrating Automation Group increases our technical abilities 
in the fast-growing industries of automation, artificial intelligence, robotics and remote management.  

Whilst it remains early days, Automation Group generated a pleasing $4.2m in Revenue and $0.5m in EBITDA for the 
nine months since we acquired the business in September 2020. In addition, Automation Group has begun working 
with  other  Portfolio  Companies  to  develop  new  moats.  Some  examples  of  projects  in  examination  include  ‘smart 
trailers’  in  conjunction  with  GLT,  augmented  reality  applications  in  conjunction  with  TIP  Residential  Group,  and 
advanced traffic management solutions with ECT.  

Teaminvest 
On the 30th of June 2021, the last day of FY21, we acquired our former ‘parent’ Teaminvest (Services Division, 100% 
owned). 

 
Established in 2007, Teaminvest is an educational business founded on the noble purpose of “educating those who 
wish to manage their wealth wisely, rather than paying others to do it badly for them”. Acquiring Teaminvest gives us 
access to a growing annuity stream of highly profitable revenue from the existing education business; and the ability 
to  leverage  the  Teaminvest  intellectual  property  to  form  the  foundation  of  a  new  financial  services  division  in 
conjunction with our existing investments in the insurance and trustee/managed fund industries. 

Because of the timing of this acquisition our Segment Results include only one day’s worth of the $3.9m in revenue 
and $1.4m in EBITDA generated by Teaminvest during FY21. Commencing in FY22, we expect to see the revenue and 
EBITDA from this new acquisition contribute to our performance. 

TIP Residential Group 
In September 2020, we elected to merge the existing Portfolio Companies Kitome, DecoGlaze, The Step Ahead Builders 
Assistant (TSABA) and Forever Glass Art into one new business called TIP Residential Group (TIPRG). TIPRG is now able 
to offer clients a much broader suite of services from architectural design to manufacture and construction of the 
home. Moreover, the combined TIPRG now has the financial strength to be able to offer these services to developers 
and trade customers, not only retail clients.   

Whilst it is early days, we expect the decision to merge these businesses will turbocharge growth as we develop a 
broader residential construction business within the group. 

Statutory Comprehensive Income (SCI) 
Unlike Segment Results, which are compiled on a normalised (i.e. operating) basis, SCI is calculated in accordance with 
the technical accounting standards in force at any time. It encompasses consolidation accounting where we own 50% 
or more of a business, equity accounting where we own a substantial share of between 20% and 50%, and investment 
accounting where we own less than 20%. Because it reflects accounting standards, and not operating performance, 
SCI is also regularly affected by one-off items, changes in accounting rules, and technical quirks.  

Whilst SCI is the official published result of the Group, shareholders should be aware of its limitations when using it to 
draw conclusions about operating performance. The table below sets out our SCI and a summary balance sheet.

Comparing SCI across periods 

letter, 

I  have  again 

Following the positive response to my half-
yearly 
included  a 
reconciliation  of  Statutory  NPAT  with 
Operating NPAT (left). This shows the after-
tax effect of the various ‘abnormal’ items in 
FY20  (the  insurance  payout  and  windfall 
gain)  and  FY21  (the  ECT  payment,  the 
Coastal  Energy  restructuring  charge  and 
impairment, and the Teaminvest acquisition 
– all  discussed  below).  Positive  abnormal
items refer to one-off costs that should be
added  back  to  compare  Operating  NPAT,

and negative items refer to one-off gains that should be removed. 

From the table you can see that Operating NPAT grew 39% in FY21 to a new record of $6.9m. In contrast, Statutory 
NPAT reported in our SCI and Appendix 4D shows a 37% decline, after including all non-operating items. 

Yet more reason why owners should read our announcements in full, not just the summary front page! 

Explanation of one-off items 
ECT long-term reward 
When TIP was listed in May 2019, we took over the employment agreement in place with the CEO of East Coast Traffic 
Control (Services Division, 100% owned). Under the terms of that agreement, the CEO of ECT was to be awarded a 
bonus equivalent to 10% of the share capital in ECT upon achieving a successful turn-around.  

After stellar performance the hurdle was met in December, resulting in a one-off payment of $535,000. This welcome 
payment and its associated costs appear as an ‘abnormal’ amount in our Segment Results for FY21 (as it was a one-off 
event), and in full in our SCI.  

More information about the ECT long-term reward can be found in my letter for the first half of FY21. 

Coastal Energy non-operating charges 
As discussed in the operating section of this report, Coastal Energy had its Energex rating suspended in April. The loss 
of this rating forced the business to undertake an immediate stand-down and restructure. As part of this restructure 
we incurred one-off costs of $0.9m, predominantly comprising employee redundancies and legal fees. 

As the rating had not been returned by 30 June, we also elected to take a non-cash impairment charge of $4.3m. The 
effect of this impairment is to reduce both goodwill and SCI by this amount. The impairment means that TIP no longer 
carries any goodwill on our balance sheet associated with Coastal Energy.  

These abnormal items totalling $5.2m are excluded from our Segment Results but included in SCI. 

Teaminvest acquisition 
Whilst the acquisition of Teaminvest had no impact on Segment Results during FY21, it did have a one-off impact on 
our SCI for the period.  

Accounting  rules  require  us  to  record  the  fair  value  of  all  assets  acquired  on  our  balance  sheet  as  of  the  date  of 
acquisition.  The  fair  value  was  calculated  by  EverEdge  Global,  a  global  leader  in intellectual asset valuation; and 
audited by KPMG. As the fair value of the intellectual property we acquired exceeded the acquisition value (what the 
accounting rules eloquently term a ‘bargain purchase’), we are required to book a one off gain of $3.7m to our SCI 
this year.

but is excluded from our Segment Results. 

One-off items in FY20 
During our comparison period (FY20) the Group recorded one-off abnormal gains associated with an insurance payout 
and our IPO restructure. If you would like more information about these abnormal items, greater detail can be found 
in the FY20 CEO letter.  

Year ahead 
FY22 promises to be exciting. We are confident that our talented Portfolio Company management and boards will 
again find new ways to enhance their businesses and grow their profits. When challenges inevitably arise, we are lucky 
that within our Group we have a deep pool of resources available to address them.  

As I wrote in FY20: “My hope is that each future period will also have more ups than downs, but (as we have just seen) 
the world does not always work that way: and we can’t always prepare for momentous unplanned events such as the 
ongoing global emergencies. Fortunately, in this instance we have been largely unaffected, but this may not always be 
the case in the future. However, I am confident that the talent, hard work, great ethics and dedication of our growing 
team of business leaders will deliver long term success regardless of any bumps  they experience in the road on the 
way.” 

Our results in FY21 again bear this out. During the year:  

▪  We acquired two new Portfolio Companies that both increase our stock of valuable intellectual property and 

should generate substantial and growing profits; and 

▪  Seven of the ten Portfolio Companies we owned for the full year increased earnings by more than 25% despite 
the challenges of a pandemic, travel restrictions, consumer uncertainty and a shifting set of global rules.  

For these outstanding results our leadership teams throughout the Group deserve our praise and admiration.  

In the few cases where our teams have struggled, our pool of 88 Selected Shareholders has provided invaluable advice 
and mentorship; made connections and offered referrals; brainstormed and acted as a sounding board (during the day 
and well into the night!); and in a demonstration of being prepared to go above and beyond what can be expected of 
volunteers, some even rolled up their sleeves and assisted in helping to resolve the messy situation at Coastal Energy. 
For these contributions I know I speak on behalf of everyone at TIP when I say a heartfelt “thank you”. 

It is this shared philosophy of acquiring great businesses, rewarding talent, creating space for opportunity in adversity, 
and providing mentorship and support via our Selected Shareholders, that gives TIP our unique edge. It is the “special 
sauce” that drives our results and generates shareholder wealth. It’s also what makes me so proud to be part of this 
amazing organisation. 

Long term goals 
In 2019 I wrote that: 

“Looking forward ten years we want to develop and grow an ever-increasing portfolio of entrepreneurial CEOs 
who think differently to their competition and enhance society whilst delivering outstanding profits. Whenever 
we  look  at  acquiring  a  new  business,  or  mentoring  an  existing  one,  we  do  so  through  a  lens  of  growing 
management and business capability: our people and our moats.” 

Following the merger of Kitome, DecoGlaze, TSABA and Forever Glass Art into TIP Residential Group during FY21, we 
now have twelve Portfolio Companies. They span industries as diverse as heavy manufacturing to financial services, 
but they all share the same goal: to transfer knowledge between generations and enhance our society.  

We have taken further steps to promote staff across Portfolio Companies to ensure that we can attract, retain, develop 
and  reward  the  best  talent:  and  we  are  looking  forward  to  further  advances  on  this  front  every  year.  Creating 
opportunity and transferring knowledge to the next generation is, after all, embedded in TIP’s DNA. 

 
The scale of our  noble purpose is large, and this is what makes it so exciting. As our outstanding businesses grow 
organically, we must continue to support them with an ever-increasing pool of Selected Shareholders who can provide 
mentorship and support. If we develop the skills of our people, whilst providing space for them to grow into greater 
roles, then we should comfortably meet our long-term goals. 

A final word 
Whilst each period presents new challenges and opportunities, in the long run we are confident that a mix of successful 
management teams, surrounded by dedicated mentors, with access to our group philosophy and balance sheet will 
deliver outstanding results, achieve our noble purpose and reward our shareholders handsomely for their support.  

If  you are  excited by  our  noble  purpose,  and  would  like  to  participate  in our  unique  organisation,  please  apply  to 
become a Selected Shareholder. The application form, followed by our operating philosophy, follows this letter. The 
knowledge you bring, and the value you add, will accelerate our future growth.  

I would also like to remind all shareholders that we are, at our core, a natural acquirer and developer of executives 
and SMEs. If you are the owner or leader of an SME, or know of one, who has reached a stage in their development 
where access to the mentorship, support and financial capacity that TIP provides will take your business to the next 
level, we would like to hear from you. Owners looking to sell out completely, or financial advisers looking to make a 
quick buck, need not apply. 

Best wishes,

 GUIDANCE FOR INVESTORS 

  Our Noble Purpose drives every decision we make 

We have long held the belief that businesses perform best when they act in the service of others. It is why we started 
Teaminvest Private, and why we developed our unique Selected Shareholder model. Our noble purpose, mission and 
vision are core to who we are and what we do. They are: 

Noble purpose: Transferring knowledge between generations 

Mission:  Assist  successful  business  owners  to  enhance  their  legacy;  and  mentor  the  next  generation  of  business 
leaders 

Vision: To build a society where the knowledge we accumulate over a lifetime isn’t lost to retirement, forcing the next 
generation to learn it all again 

It is core to our being that we will never take an action that could be detrimental to the long-term delivery of our noble 
purpose. Similarly, we are always prepared to invest in areas that will see our ability to deliver our noble purpose 
increase: even if doing so comes at a short-term cost.  

Our noble purpose is core to who we are and what we do. As part owners in our business, we trust all our investors 
share our passion. 

It takes time for share prices to reflect intrinsic value 

Time is the enemy of poor businesses, and the friend of the good business. Research by Dr John Price (and Teaminvest) 
have proven this truism over and over. While the market can move on momentum for a while, in the end price must 
always tend towards the formula “Price = Earnings * P/E ratio”.  

Whilst P/E ratios can fluctuate wildly for days, weeks, months or even a few years, over the course of an economic 
cycle they will (by definition) gravitate towards the market average. In Australia this has usually been around 4x for a 
private company and 17.5x for a listed company. 

Therefore, the only way for a company to dramatically increase its share price in the long-term is through consistently 
increasing earnings. Any business that grows earnings consistently will, over time, see a corresponding increase in 
share price and value. Conversely. any company with declining profits will have a decrease in value.  

As investors you should therefore be aware that we measure, reward and focus our executives on growing the earnings 
generated by our Portfolio Companies. We have no rewards based on share price, P/E ratio or “market reputation”. 
We  do  this  because,  as  long-term  investors  we  want  concrete  earnings  increases:  not  the  value  gains  driven  by 
sentiment that can come and go with the newest fad.  

You  will  also  note  that  our  letters  to  investors  will  never  talk  about  moves  made  to  “gain  exposure”  or  “increase 
institutional awareness”: but they will talk about concrete steps taken to increase profits generated. This will mean 
that our share price may, for long periods, deviate from our intrinsic value as we focus on profits not media exposure. 
This can create great opportunities for those investors who seek to increase their holdings when Mr Market offers our 
stock at a price below what they consider is the intrinsic value driven by our earnings. This however is up to you: we 
don’t intend to intervene in the market or put fluff pieces in the press: doing so would just be a distraction from our 
single focus of delivering our noble purpose and growing our earnings over time.  

  Portfolio approach  

Diversification is a cost-effective way to reduce risks and improve returns in financial markets. We consider it wise to 
spread our investments over a portfolio of underlying companies, rather than investing in only one – no matter how 
much we may like the company and the management. Over time, this should provide better returns at lower risk.  

 
 
  Risks and opportunities over 5 years 

Companies do not commonly run for 5 years without disappointments or ‘bad’ news on the sector, their market or the 
general economy. Our Portfolio Companies also expect short-term disappointments and ‘bad’ news. Being smaller 
than our group as a whole, they may experience larger ups and downs than we do. Investing in the Company is not 
risk-free.  We  expect  our  Investment  Committee,  TIPReps  and  Strategy  Committee  will  keep  a  keen  eye  out  for 
structural or long-term negative news that may be a sign of an eventual capital killer, but we are human and could 
miss them or fail to act appropriately.  

  Long-term investments 

In private equity, it takes several years before we can begin to consider the success of an investment. When you choose 
to make an investment in the Company, we suggest a similar logic applies. Some shareholders may trade in-and-out 
of  our  shares  regularly,  however  we  believe  value  creation  has  a  different  cadence  and  does  not  move  daily.  We 
consider an investment in the Company is best held for the medium or long term. 

  Guidance for Selected Shareholders 

In  addition  to  being  a  passive  shareholder  of  the  Company,  Shareholders  may  apply  to  participate  directly  in  our 
investment process by applying to be appointed a Selected Shareholder. A Shareholder may wish to become a Selected 
Shareholder for a number of reasons including: 

▪  passing their knowledge and experience to a younger generation; 

▪  mentoring an already successful CEO as they develop their business; 

▪ 

seeking more intellectual stimulation than possible from passive investing; or 

▪  giving back to the Australian business community. 

Any shareholder may apply to become a Selected Shareholder. Before being accepted, they are required to undertake 
a rigorous selection process and must demonstrate the appropriate skills, alignment and acumen to either participate 
in the investment process, or to provide guidance and mentorship. The role can be highly rewarding, but it comes with 
significant responsibilities as outlined throughout this document. 

  Ways Selected Shareholders can contribute to the Group 

This section provides a detailed overview of the Company’s philosophy towards Selected Shareholders. Participation 
as a Selected Shareholder may involve: 

Participating in SMaRT meetings: Selected Shareholders may be invited to participate in management meetings with 
potential investments. SMaRT meetings improve our initial analysis on whether or not to invest and, if an investment 
proceeds, also improve how we manage the Portfolio Company in future years. The application of collective wisdom 
at SMaRT meetings is a crucial stage of the Group’s investment process. 

Commercial due diligence: Selected Shareholders may be invited to participate as members of the committee formed 
to  conduct  due  diligence  on  a  potential  investment.  Commercial  due  diligence  is  designed  to  confirm  the  initial 
assessment  of  the  SMaRT  meeting,  to  confirm  the  moats  identified,  to  confirm  there  are  no  misunderstood  or 
significant risks, and to confirm that Portfolio Company management are suitable for investment by the Group. This 
committee forms a key risk mitigation step for our investment process.  

Strategy  days:  Selected  Shareholders  may  be  invited  to  attend  strategy  days  attended  by  the  Board,  Company 
management, the management of Portfolio Companies and TIPReps.  Strategy days are designed to provide insights 
and ideas for future growth.  

Adviser, Consultant or Interim Executive: Selected Shareholders – depending on their professional experience and 
mentoring skills – can help increase value for the Group by becoming a TIPRep or providing assistance in other ways, 
for example as an adviser, consultant or interim executive to a Portfolio Company. Once TIPReps understand the most 
important  profit-levers  in  a  particular  business,  (assisted  by  our  TIPBars  reporting  system),  they  can  assist  our 
investments to deliver outstanding returns. 

 
  Compliance with policies 

Selected Shareholders are required to agree to be bound by all Company policies including our investment philosophy, 
confidentiality  obligations  and  the Company’s  securities  trading policy.  In  particular,  Selected Shareholders  will  be 
subject to the same trading restrictions that apply to the Company’s Board and management. An investor seeking to 
become  a  Selected  Shareholder  should  seek  their  own  advice  before  applying  to  ensure  they  are  familiar  with  all 
relevant legal and compliance obligations.   

 GUIDANCE FOR TIPREPS 

Introduction 

Investing in TIP opens the opportunity for Selected Shareholders to be a non-executive board member (TIPRep) of a 
Portfolio Company. The following section provides guidance for shareholders who may be interested in applying for 
the role of TIPRep. It is not an attempt to take into account legal obligations as a board member. For that, we refer 
you to the Australian Institute for Company Directors, ASIC and ASX Governance documents, amongst others.  

Our approach draws on how Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger stimulate the management of their private businesses 
to grow profits organically and via bolt-on acquisitions. 

TIPReps are appointed to instil our philosophy into our Portfolio Companies. We expect them to deliver: 

1.  A clear and obvious path to significant capital gain over the longer-term; while 

2.  Providing attractive periodic dividends to the Company in return for the funds we have invested 

We expect TIPReps to transfer wisdom and experience to our executives – enabling them to grow as CEOs, generate 
increasing free cash, and materially increase the value of the business. This is often accomplished by providing an 
attractive vision to keep creative juices flowing and enthusiasm high. 

  The role of a TIPRep 

TIPReps have five roles for which they are appointed and against which their performance is judged. These are to: 

1.  Mentor executives; 

2.  Allocate capital within the business; 

3.  Strengthen moats and reduce risks;  

4.  Ensure compliance with all laws, regulations and governance requirements; and 

5.  Deliver regular dividends to TIP. 

The best TIPReps are those who regularly examine and improve upon these objectives. TIPReps that fail to do so will 
be replaced over time as they are letting themselves, our executives, and our shareholders down. 

Mentoring executives: TIPReps are responsible for mentoring executives. Mentorship is distinct from managing: it 
involves guiding, educating and encourage executives to think differently to enhance their skill set and grow the 
business in a visionary manner. It does not include getting involved in day-to-day decision making or short-term 
tactical considerations which are the role of executives. Executives are responsible for delivering monthly results 
and, if TIPReps become concerned that executives are not delivering appropriately, they should immediately notify 
the Strategy Committee so that TIP can look to enhance or replace the executive team rather than becoming quasi-
executives themselves. TIPReps should ensure that they understand the distinction between acting as a director or a 
member of the executive team. 

Allocating capital: TIPReps are responsible for examining and approving capital allocation within the business up to 
the amounts set out in the TIP Group Limits of Authority policy. Capital can be used in three main ways: funds for 
organic growth towards the long-term strategy of building value; funds for bolt-on acquisitions that can increase 

 
 
 
future dividends and capital value; and returning capital to TIP via attractive dividends. TIP expects that all 
companies should deliver a combination of increased value and attractive dividends over time. 

Strengthening moats and reducing risks: One of the key responsibilities of a TIPRep is to continually seek ways to 
strengthen moats and reduce risks. Strengthened moats allow the business to increase profitability and grow faster. 
Reduced risks ensure that profits and dividends can continue to grow without undue stress. TIPReps would do well 
to remember that the simplest way to reduce risk is to improve the Break-Even Safety Margin (BESM), and one of 
the key tasks of a board is to ensure that the BESM continues to increase over time. 

Ensuring compliance: One of the biggest risks to any business is damage to reputation or the advent of litigation. 
Ensuring a culture of compliance to the highest possible standards helps to protect each Portfolio Company and the 
Group as a whole. As the saying goes: “it takes a lifetime to make a reputation, and one oversight to ruin it”. 

Delivering regular dividends to TIP: When TIP agrees to acquire a share of a business we do so on the expectation it 
will deliver returns to our shareholders for the use of their funds, the effort they put in as mentors, and the belief 
they place in executives and TIPReps. The best proof of success of any Portfolio Company and its TIPReps is 
delivering on this expectation.   

  Preparation before becoming a TIPRep 

Application:  If  you  have  experience  or  other  wisdom  to  offer,  please  make  your  interest  known  to  the  Company. 
Following a formal selection process, we may appoint you to the board of one of our Portfolio Companies as a TIPRep. 
TIPReps serve at the pleasure of the Company and can be removed or replaced at any time. 

Compliance obligations: TIPReps are bound by the same legal and compliance obligations as Selected Shareholders. 
This includes adherence to the Company’s investment philosophy, confidentiality obligations and securities trading 
policy.  

Desirable experience: Whilst there is no set formula for a great TIPRep, candidates should have run a larger business 
(in terms of staff, revenue and profits) than the business on which they serve. This enables them to better mentor 
executives and grow the company. TIPReps should enjoy thinking about visionary opportunities as this is one of the 
key roles of a board or mentor. An understanding of accounting, corporate law and governance are valuable but not 
a prerequisite. 

Prior participation in the SMaRT and Due Diligence Process: It is preferable for potential TIPReps to have previously 
participated in SMaRT and due diligence processes. This enables them to better understand our philosophy and the 
ways they can add value. We consider it advantageous for TIPReps to have participated in the SMaRT and due diligence 
process for the business to which they are appointed. This provides a greater understanding of the moats the company 
should enhance (to drive profits), the future risks the company should mitigate or prepare for (to avoid or minimise 
losses)  and  the  personalities  involved.  If  a  potential  TIPRep  has  not  participated  in  the  specific  SMaRT  and  due 
diligence, we will usually require them to attend board meetings as an observer before we confirm their appointment. 

SMaRT  and  Due  Diligence  Reports:  Before  their  first  board  meeting,  TIPReps  should  review  the  SMaRT  and  due 
diligence reports. These contain analysis of the rationale behind our investment, and the moats and risks identified. 
Knowledge of these is a pre-requisite to adding value as a board member. 

Terms of Acquisition: TIPReps should ensure they understand the key acquisition terms. These differ by company and 
may include performance hurdles, conditional payments, remuneration packages, debt funding arrangements, vendor 
financing and succession plans. TIPReps should periodically review progress against the terms of acquisition and keep 
TIP informed. 

TIPBars and TIPTool: TIPReps must be familiar with TIPBars and TIPTool, our two proprietary financial analysis tools. 
TIPBars  provides  a  standardised  set  of  board  financial  reporting  across  the  group.  It  also  contains  built-in  audit 
functions to enhance the integrity of financial reporting. TIPTool allows the board to easily model alternative paths for 
substantially increasing profits. If substantially increasing profits were easy, executives would already have done so. 
TIPTool allows board and management to have an accurate and robust discussion about the most practical path to 
achieve their targets. 

 
  Common learnings 

TIPReps have experienced the following common learnings: 

1.  You can’t have valuable board meetings without best-practice financial reporting: Many creative entrepreneurs 
are wonderfully successful through inspiring and motivating their staff to work ‘miracles’ and their clients to pay 
highly for their products. However, many see financial record-keeping and reporting to a board as a distraction. 
Since our formation in 2012, we have learned that it is impossible for boards to add value to Executives without 
the benefit of best-practice financial reporting. Worse, if there are concerns about the veracity of reporting, the 
board will quickly become dysfunctional, and profits will decline as trust breaks down. TIPReps must therefore 
work to address this concern as one of their highest priorities by either: 

a.  Encouraging the Portfolio Company to hand financial reporting over to TIP head office. This will ensure that 
Executives and TIPReps can focus on strategy without being concerned or distracted about the preparation, 
and accuracy, of financial reporting and the six-monthly audit process. It is also likely to be financially beneficial 
due to the costs saved by harnessing group economies of scale. Portfolio Companies who were not already 
audited for a number of years prior to partnering with TIP, or who don’t already have the benefit of a highly-
educated, multi-person, financial team will benefit most from this approach; or 

b.  Showing  how  best  practice  record  keeping,  reporting  and  discussions  can  increase  profits  and  enhance 
decision making: enhancing company internal structures and creating an environment where the board can 
encourage  profitable  action  based  on  forward  looking  projections,  not  just  rear-view  examination.  This 
approach is best available to Portfolio Companies who already have robust, audit ready, systems in place with 
a highly-educated CFO leading discussions. TIPReps  in  this situation can immediately focus  on TIPBars and 
TIPTool, confident that the forward looking analysis is meaningful for strategic discussion.  

2.  True leadership rarely extends below one or two key executives: SME’s rarely have top quality executives below 
the  C-level.  This  is  simply  a  function  of  their  size:  supremely  talented  people  are  unlikely  to  be  attracted  to  a 
smaller organisation with limited career development opportunities. Therefore, in order for the business to grow, 
or the founder to reduce their hours, a key requirement will be attracting the right kind of talent into the right 
roles. In particular we have found that: 

a.  Existing employees rarely have the drive or skill required to step up to C-level in an SME. This is a function of 
self-selection, ambitious and talented employees are unlikely to remain in a business where they cannot see 
opportunities for rapid advancement. In smaller businesses this career path caps out by about the age of 30, 
so most supremely talented staff either move on to bigger companies, or remain only if their ambition has 
declined. With ambition being one of the three key requirements for leadership success (the other two being 
passion and intelligence), fishing in the existing pool is likely to be unrewarding, and may well be why the 
founder was attracted by TIP’s promise to help “transfer knowledge between generations”; 

b.  When external hires are considered, they are almost always the wrong kind. One of the great hiring fallacies 
is that we look to hire people with already demonstrated experience in the role for which they are applying. 
This sounds seductive, but it is a big mistake: someone who has demonstrated success in a role, is almost 
never looking to take on the same role again in a smaller organisation. The only reason they would be prepared 
to take such a role is if they know they had failed. Hiring “with experience” is almost certain to result in hiring 
the wrong calibre of employee. 

c.  As we get older we forget just how young we were when we first took a leadership role. Most successful CEO’s 
got their first real leadership break in their 20’s, and by their 30’s were running teams of 30 or more. Yet when 
we look for leadership hires these same 20 and 30 year olds (as we once were) often appear brash, uncultured 
and inexperienced, so we gloss over them for older hires. This plays into two traps: firstly it means that we 
never hire the best talent – because a supremely talented 30 year old who is passed over for a role at your 
company is running something far too large by 40 for us to ever get them; and secondly it means we miss out 
on the well-documented fact that ambition and passion decline from middle-age onwards. Whilst a 50 year 
old is likely to know more than a 25 year old, they are unlikely to be prepared to throw themselves in with the 
ambition and passion required to drive transformational growth… and they are certainly unlikely to do so if 
they still report upwards to another Executive! 

 
3.  Distractions kill. A year may elapse between when our Portfolio Companies approach a broker to market their 
business, to when we finalise contracts and appoint TIPReps. Sales and profits may become secondary to ‘doing 
the  deal’.  Working  with  a  board  may  also  initially  distract  our  Portfolio  Companies.  Together  this  may  cause 
revenue and profits to disappoint. This can result in a downward spiral unless (and until) TIPReps once again make 
driving the profits of the business the core focus of the Executive team. 

4.  Vendor  remorse  is  normal  but  must  be  addressed  head-on.  It  is  natural  that  after  selling  part  of  their  baby, 
founders and  executives will wonder if they made the right decision. If there is more than one senior executive or 
founder,  one  may  feel  regret  more  keenly,  causing  internal  friction.  TIPReps  should  address  this  head  on  by 
discussing  the  issue  to  give  comfort,  and  immediately  working  on  creating  a  company-wide  Noble  Purpose, 
Mission, Vision and Big Hairy Audacious Goal. By setting these as a team early, we harness the power of passion 
to drive results and overcome any fear or concern about the decision to sell. A clear path to “growing their baby 
together” is the fastest and most effective way of motivating Executives and giving comfort that they made the 
right decision to partner with TIP.  

5.  Focus board time on delivering the Noble Purpose, not working on the day to day. Executives working ‘in the 
business’ rarely have time to think in a visionary way ‘outside of the business’. Day-to-day issues keep them busy 
and are most likely to be reported to the board. TIPReps should not involve themselves in day-to-day business and 
instead  should  constantly  work  on  focussing  Executives  on  the  steps  needed  to  achieve  the  company’s  Noble 
Purpose. By doing so you will get most out of the board meeting and drive double digit growth. Discussions will 
focus on major opportunities, new moats and mitigating risks, not the daily grind. A TIPRep who finds themselves 
involved in day-to-day decision making, is doing a disservice to executives and their fellow shareholders.  

Interacting with executives 

Learn what ‘makes them tick’: Before joining a board, TIPReps should meet with Executives and other board members 
informally to learn ‘what makes them tick’. It is easier to mentor and build profits with people we understand. Meeting 
in an informal setting allows a prospective TIPRep to see what interests and cultural values they have in common with 
the Executives (critical for mentoring and driving profit) and their prospective fellow directors (critical for defining long 
term goals and maintaining passion towards achieving them). You should also use this opportunity to find out more 
about the business, discuss moats and risks identified during the SMaRT and Due Diligence, and to find out what has 
already done to strengthen moats and eliminate, mitigate or manage risks. With a good starting point a TIPRep is 
certain to add more value than coming in blind and learning on the job. 

Understanding the business: It takes time for a relative outsider to understand the most important Key Performance 
Indicators (KPIs) that drive profits. Executives with a history of profitable leadership in the business should already 
know what is most important to measure: even if they may not always communicate it with clarity. TIPReps would 
therefore be wise to ask lots of “Why” questions. “Why did we do X?”, “Why do you consider Y worth measuring?”, 
“Why do you think this is a good or bad idea?”. Asking lots of Why questions (instead of What or How questions) is the 
fastest way to build a deep and intuitive understanding of the key drivers of the business. And as a board member you 
need that intuitive understanding to better mentor the CEO and make fast decisions.  

Noble Purpose and long-term goals: It is the responsibility of Executives to ensure a profitable business every month. 
Providing  the  Executives  are  doing  so,  the  key  responsibility  of  TIPReps  becomes  focussing  on  mentoring  and 
developing executives to achieve the Noble Purpose and long term goals of the Portfolio Company. TIPReps should 
therefore  spend  the  majority  of  their  time  with  Executives  focussed  on  exploring  how  the  company  can  grow  it’s 
moats, reduce it’s risks and deliver it’s Noble Purpose.  

Executive  remuneration:  Executive  remuneration  is  set  by  the  Strategy  Committee  and  follows  TIP’s  principles  of 
handsomely rewarding performance, and penalising failure. In particular, TIPReps should be aware that executives are 
remunerated with three components: 

▪  A low base salary, of sufficient size to keep the lights on but small enough that a poor performing Executive 

will quickly look for a job elsewhere; 

▪  A monthly bonus paid for every month that is profitable, to incentivise Executives to design and operate the 

business in such a way that it never loses money; and 

▪  A share of the audited NPAT of the business, providing an outsized reward for stellar performance.  

 
 
Any changes in remuneration for Executives is therefore linked entirely to their performance. TIPReps should be aware 
of this, and take actions that encourage the Executives to achieve their monthly bonus every month (e.g. focussing on 
BESM),  whilst  ensuring  a  path  to  meaningful  long  term  profit  growth.  In  this  way  both  the  Executive  and  TIP’s 
shareholders will win together. 

Succession planning: Risks associated with key management personnel are front-of-mind when the board interacts 
with  management.  This  risk  scores  highly  in  every  SMaRT.  TIPReps  should  ameliorate  this  risk  by  encouraging  our 
Portfolio Company executives to delegate and to develop an executive team. Within a few years of investment in a 
Portfolio Company, the board and CEO should have identified an appropriate successor for an emergency - or should 
the CEO retire. 

Growth planning: Most valuable is for TIPReps to assist Portfolio Company founders to develop a team of talented 
reports who enjoy doing what our Portfolio Company founders enjoys least. This will free up the time of our CEOs for 
strategic  thinking  to  add  value  in  conjunction  with  their  board,  rather  than  being  immersed  in  day-to-day 
management.   

Focus on BESM: A powerful way of reducing risks is by increasing the gap between sales revenue and the Break-even 
Point of the business. This increases the BESM (Break-Even Safety Margin). Replacing fixed costs with variable costs 
increases BESM and reduces risk. Focussing on increasing BESM is a key hallmark of a successful business. 

Size  of  companies  and  expected  volatility:  Our  Portfolio  Companies  are  predominantly  SMEs.  Missteps  by 
management or TIPReps can wipe out short-term profits, while good decisions can hugely lift short-term profits. Even 
when long-term profits are excellent, short-term profits may vary between disappointing and enthusing. Experience 
shows us that the most effective way to reduce volatility is by increasing BESM. 

Trustworthiness: It is a pre-requisite that the executives who manage the business are trustworthy. If TIPReps are ever 
concerned that this is changing, they should inform the Strategy Committee immediately and in the strongest possible 
terms. 

Frequency  of  board  meetings:  Board  meetings  should  be  held  monthly.  Meetings  should  be  face-to-face  with  an 
option to join by teleconference. If board meetings are taking full days, chances are TIPReps are becoming involved in 
issues best left to management. A few days prior to the board meeting, each CEO should provide the monthly TIPBars 
financial report plus a short explanation on any issues on which they seek input. 

Helping  our  Portfolio  Companies  grow:  TIPReps  should  inspire,  mentor,  and  act  as  a  sounding  board  for  our 
executives.  They  should  regularly  ask  themselves  three  questions:  “What  visionary  ideas  can  we  suggest  to 
substantially grow profits?” and “How can we help make the CEO’s role simpler?” and “How can we assist the CEO 
make faster and more profitable decisions?”  

Mindful they have sold ‘part of their baby’: Portfolio Company founders have sold ‘part of their baby’ which they 
loved and nurtured for years. Nothing will faster demotivate them, and destroy the value of our investment, than 
giving the impression ‘the baby is ugly and needs cosmetic surgery’. It is natural for one or more executives to initially 
experience  some  vendor  remorse.  This  should  dissipate  once  they  realise  we  are  working  towards  growing  the 
business and substantially increasing profits. 

Financial terminology: Executives of SMEs may appear unsophisticated in the use of financial terminology or reporting 
procedures. Fortunately, financial terminology and detailed reporting are not a pre-requisite for building a great niche 
business. However, they become more important as the business grows. TIPBars will provide financial information 
most useful to TIPReps. Executives can provide any other information they know is important. Meetings can then focus 
on “what can we do to build free cash and profits” and testing this in TIPTool. 

Instructing management: The board as a whole may instruct executives. Individual board members should never do 
so. 

  Capital Management and Board Strategies 

Dividends and cash buffers: The boards of our Portfolio Companies have a responsibility to return part of profits as 
free cash to the Company via periodic dividends. This is covered in detail in the Group Distribution Policy. TIPReps 
should be familiar with this policy, and in particular its focus on the mix between paying down debt, reinvesting for 
growth and paying dividends. 

 
Bolt-on acquisitions or disposals of divisions: Each board should continually monitor their markets for a substantial 
increase of profitability via a bolt-on acquisition. Conversely, they may conclude that the business would be more 
profitable after the disposal of an unwanted division. Such major capital allocation decisions should be referred to the 
Strategy Committee for assistance. 

More capital or debt: It is our philosophy that debt increases risk. Boards should avoid raising debt unless it is for 
highly profitable organic growth or accretive acquisitions. If debt is needed, it must first be approved by the Strategy 
Committee. 

Focus on high margin revenue: Market share is vanity, profits are sanity and free cash flow is reality! We acquire niche 
businesses that make higher profits and generate more cash from increasing margins, than from chasing market share. 
This can be quickly tested using TIPTool. Good strategy often involves turning away low-margin business. If a business 
is short of cash, the chances are the margins are too low. In niche businesses, it’s often easier to increase value through 
increasing margins than increasing size. 

Moats  and  outside  circumstances:  ‘Circumstances  beyond  our  control’  are  often  blamed  for  a  profit  downturn. 
TIPReps  should  look  beyond  this  and  seek  ways  the  company  can  increase  profits  even  in  a  downturn.  If  profits 
disappoint, and TIPReps can’t immediately find a way to fix this, raise it with the Strategy Committee quickly, so we 
can  brainstorm  ways  of  benefiting  from  adversity  –  whether  real  or  perceived.  Outside  influences  can  often  be 
overcome by a concerted effort to strengthen moats. 

Deal with causes not symptoms: Niche businesses may experience cash-flow challenges from time to time. TIPReps 
and executives must strengthen the businesses by dealing with the cause of cash-flow problems, rather than dealing 
with symptoms. TIPTool can be useful for this. Eliminating causes of cash-flow challenges can add huge value to any 
investment. 

Leverage technology: Technology, data and online connectivity are rapidly changing the world. Every business will be 
affected. Those that remain stuck in the past find competitors able to offer similar outcomes cheaper or faster, or 
superior products at the same prices. Those that embrace ‘modernisation’ benefit via higher margins. TIPReps should 
continually seek to modernise everything our Portfolio Companies do to stay ahead, and to improve margins against 
the competition. The outcomes of any costs and margin improvement can easily be checked in TIPTool. 

Use our tools: TIPBars and TIPTool allow the board to model the various alternative paths for substantially increasing 
profits. TIPReps should frequently use TIPTool to strengthen the business by testing the likely increased profits from 
the choices of increased sales, decreased fixed or variable costs, and increased prices. No path is likely to be easy, but 
choosing the best path to profit is made easier using TIPTool. 

  Culture 

Skills available: An incredible range of skills and experiences are available from Selected Shareholders. TIPReps should 
regularly contact the Strategy Committee to seek advice about the challenges they face.  

We are all in it together: Boards of profitable niche businesses work as a non-hierarchical team. To maximise profits, 
board members should ensure a culture of open, frank and enjoyable cooperation between executives (who know the 
business very well), non-executives (who know business principles well) and the Strategy Committee.  

Serving while you add value: TIPReps should stay on a board while they remain enthusiastic about the business and 
feel they can help deliver excellent returns. When considering whether to serve another year on the same board, you 
should assess how you have added value to date, and how you can add further value in the coming year. 

Comfort  with  executives:  TIPReps  and  Portfolio  Company  executives  must  get  along  well  professionally  to  be 
successful.  If  a  TIPRep  is  uncomfortable  with  an  executive  for  personal  reasons  they  should  inform  the  Strategy 
Committee and seek to be replaced. If a majority of TIPReps are uncomfortable with an executive, they should inform 
the Strategy Committee immediately so that we can replace that executive (if we control the Portfolio Company) or 
find a timely exit (if we are a minority shareholder). 

Making  improvements:  Businesses  of  the  size  of  our  Portfolio  Companies  are  unlikely  to  have  the  resources  to 
implement more than one ‘improvement’ at any time. A board that successfully implements one substantial profit 
improvement  in  any  half-year  has  provided  excellent  value.  Asking  a  CEO  to  implement  several  ‘improvements’ 
simultaneously, risks overwhelming executives and almost certainly ensuring the ‘improvements’ won’t happen. 

 
Cash flow is king: The value of a business is in the cash it generates. If the business is paying attractive half-yearly 
dividends to the Company, and earnings are growing, TIPReps and executives are doing an excellent job. However, if 
this is not happening, then TIPReps and management are letting down shareholders and themselves. If the TIPReps 
can’t see a way to deliver attractive dividends, they should request the help of the Strategy Committee or request to 
be replaced. 

  Reporting to TIP 

Strategy Committee: TIPReps report to the Strategy Committee. The Strategy Committee meets with each board on 
a quarterly basis to assess performance and provide advice. In particular, each Portfolio Company is required to fill out 
a quarterly board self-assessment sheet (focussed on the performance of the board) and a Quarterly Traction Report 
(focussed  on  the  performance  of  the  company  towards  it’s  Noble  Purpose  and  growth  targets).  The  Strategy 
Committee  will  use  the  performance  of  the  Portfolio  Company,  and  the  results  of  these  quarterly  assessments  to 
tweak the TIPRep mix to achieve the best results for the Group. 

Annual reports and reporting to TIP: Each company must report regularly to the Strategy Committee and produce an 
annual report. Whilst annual reports are not widely distributed, they are an important strategic tool that disciplines 
each  company  to  regularly  set  and  track results  against  their  targets.  They  are  also  invaluable should  we one  day 
decide to raise capital for, divest, or spin-out one of our Portfolio Companies.  

Budgets and cash flow projections: Whilst detailed budgets and cash flow projections have been shown to improve 
results in large corporations they can be detrimental to profits in smaller entrepreneurial companies when they shift 
focus from ‘acting’ to ‘reporting’. A simple high-level target, accompanied by a report on the main variables (KPIs) 
contributing  to  the  Break-Even  Point  (BEP)  and  the  approximate  net  profits  at  any  level  of  sales  above  the  BEP 
significantly improves profit generation in smaller niche companies. TIPBars and TIPTool automatically provide the 
BEP, Profit, and Break-even Safety Margin (BESM) for all possible scenarios. The Strategy Committee will work with 
each Portfolio Company to establish appropriate long term  profit and cash flow targets via the Quarterly Traction 
Report. 

Strategy days: Twice yearly, TIPReps and executives are required to attend Strategy Days. Each Portfolio Company is 
expected to develop their plans for one or more of the four ways for delivering shareholder value: 1. Maximising half-
yearly dividends; 2. Organic Growth or a new division using the current assets of the business; 3. Bolt-on acquisitions 
or growth that may require additional capital at attractive returns; 4. Combining with another Portfolio Company to 
enhance the returns from each. 

 GUIDANCE FOR EXECUTIVES 

  The role of executives 

Executives have four roles for which they are appointed and against which their performance is judged. These are to: 

1.  Deliver monthly profits; 

2.  Manage the cash;  

3.  Develop a great culture; and 

4. 

Increase BESM. 

The best executives are those who regularly work on fostering a high performing culture to deliver growing profits 
and margins. TIPReps are there to mentor management to deliver on these key goals, but ultimately it is the 
responsibility of executives to manage day-to-day operations and deliver monthly profits. 

Monthly profits: Good businesses are designed such that they rarely make a loss in any month. Great businesses are 
those that never do. The primary role of an executive is to ensure that the business is designed and operated such 
that monthly profits are expected and delivered year in, year out. Executives should seek guidance from TIPReps and 
the Strategy Committee if they are ever unsure how better to ensure this. 

 
 
Managing the cash: Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business. Great executives look at ways of not only growing 
profits but enhancing cash flow which can then be made available for reinvestment or delivering healthy dividends 
to shareholders. Building a healthy cash buffer ensures executives can sleep easy knowing that they are protected 
from any unexpected headwind. It also allows for healthy dividends which is the fastest way for executives to gain 
promotion within the group or receive a pay rise. Conversely, an executive who regularly “mines shareholders 
wallets” will soon find themselves without a role.  

Culture and mentoring: Just as it’s the role of TIPReps to mentor and grow the skills of executives, it is the role of 
executives to mentor and grow the skills of their staff. Good executives look to constantly improve and educate their 
team: either by enhancing staff members existing skills, or hiring high achievers. A focus on mentorship and the 
development of a high performance culture is key to making the role of an executive less stressful, and it is the 
simplest long-term path to higher earnings. 

Increasing BESM: The most effective way for executives to increase profits whilst reducing risk is by working to 
increase BESM. Building a culture of understanding BESM within an organisation will allow younger managers to 
similarly provide ideas to enhance the business. Those executives who regularly increase BESM will most likely be 
offered larger roles within the Group. 

  Economic Moats are the Path to Higher Profits 

Economic moats: Businesses generate attractive returns when they build and maintain economic moats. During the 
SMaRT and Due Diligence, the Company assessed and scored the promising economic moats of the business. This list 
won’t be complete - some scores may not be accurate. Executives should discuss these moats with their board and 
make an  accurate  list. Then they  can  continually  seek ways  to  maintain  and  strengthen  moats  –  and  find  ways  to 
develop new ones. 

Test for economic moats: Warren Buffett tells the CEOs of his many businesses to frequently ask themselves: “Would 
we have to call a prayer meeting before increasing prices to our customers?” Ask yourself the same question. If the 
answer is ‘yes’ then you have not yet built strong economic moats. If the answer is ‘no’ then you can increase prices 
and be proud of the strong moats you have built.  

  Capital Management 

Capital allocation: A sure path to increasing returns is to allocate capital to the most profitable parts of the business. 
Minimise costs in those parts of the business that generate low profits or don’t directly generate income. For example, 
a good extra salesperson should generate more profit than cost, while larger premises often eat more profit than they 
generate. Property expense also adds risk since a mistake can be time consuming to undo. A mistake in hiring can be 
quickly reversed. 

Capital for growth: The Company can provide additional capital when executives find opportunities to grow profits at 
attractive rates of return via geographic expansion, acquisition of another business, or adding a profitable division. 
When  such  an  opportunity  offers  outstanding  returns  (greater  than  15%  per  annum),  please  inform  the  Strategy 
Committee in a timely manner. 

Dividends matter: In order to make cash available for the most profitable opportunities, the Company looks to receive 
funds from our investments via dividends. These funds are then allocated to those who can use them best. If you have 
a profitable opportunity that requires further investment, you should write a succinct business case and put this to 
the Strategy Committee. In this way, opportunities can be compared across the group and funds allocated to those 
offering the best returns. 

Fast action: The primary responsibility of a CEO is to look after cash and keep the business running profitably every 
month and every quarter. The Company trusts executives and TIPReps will take immediate action should a Portfolio 
Business  ever  fall  into  a  loss.  Fast  action  to  bring  the  business  back  to  profit  is  always  better  than  delaying  for 
discussion.  

Capital for turnarounds: The Company has an aversion to providing capital to help a business out of difficulty. Getting 
into financial distress is a key symptom of executives either failing to develop an appropriate BESM, being blindsided 

 
by changes in their market, or a result of a significant error in judgement. Only where executives can demonstrate a 
clear path to returning a business to profitability, and are prepared to agree to strict conditions around the use of 
cash, will Group funds be made available. Asking for cash to “save a business” is the largest indicator of an executive 
team that has failed in their role. Whilst we understand that everyone may  make mistakes, the decision to invest 
Group money to save a once profitable business is perhaps the most serious decision the Strategy Committee can 
make. In effect it is asking those who have performed well to use their hard earned cash to subsidise the bad decisions 
of another.  

  Financial Reporting 

Financial reporting and TIPBars: The best financial reports help boards and CEOs make large improvements in profits 
for the least effort. Before we invest, most executives use financial reports designed for accountants and the tax office. 
These focus on the past, but rarely point the way to increasing profits. We have developed TIPBars to improve profits 
with the least amount of work, while highlighting dangerous risks. TIPBars is produced every month and shows where 
each business is working well financially, where hidden risks may be lurking, and where financial improvements should 
be made.  

Break-even safety margin: TIPBars highlights the trend in Break-even Safety Margin (‘BESM’): whether the business is 
becoming less risky (as we prefer), or more risky (a dangerous trend). Should the trend show increasing risk, TIPBars 
shows  where  you  and  your  board  can  fix  this  well  before  the  business  loses  money.  Standard  accounting  usually 
highlights losses after the money is gone.  

Easiest path to improve profits: TIPTool allows board and executives to quickly ascertain which levers can be pulled 
to  most easily  improve  profits.  When  joining  TIP,  each  business  is  required  to  provide  general  ledger  data  for  the 
previous  12  months.  This  allows  TIPBars  and  TIPTool to  be  implemented  immediately.  Used properly,  TIPBars  and 
TIPTool can add considerably to profit every year. 

Audits:  Upon joining the Group, each Portfolio Company is required to participate in the Company’s regular audits. 
Rather than seeing this as an imposition on executive time, each Portfolio Company should see it as a way of learning 
how to better improve systems and processes so that greater returns can be made in the future. What seems like a 
frustration at first can add profound value if used to address weaknesses in company systems. 

  Building a Stronger Executive Team 

Stronger executive team: The Company can help each Portfolio Company develop a stronger executive team. That 
way more can be achieved with less time from executives and board members. This increases the value of the business; 
produces  bigger  half-yearly  profits  and  dividends;  allows  executives  and  board  to  be  more  relaxed  and  makes 
shareholders happier.   

The ‘perfect’ chief executive: It is virtually impossible to be the ‘perfect’ Chief Executive. A perfect Chief Executive 
would  have  expertise  in  leadership,  production,  general  management,  marketing,  sales,  finance,  administration, 
accounting, people management and business management. The Strategy Committee can advise how to surround the 
CEO with quality executives reporting to them who can add missing strengths. 

Why  an  executive  team:  CEOs  of  outstanding  niche  businesses  live  in  a  gruelling  combination  of  being  the  Chief 
‘Enthusiasm’ Officer and the Chief ‘Operating’ Officer. As Enthusiasm Officer they must inspire their team to greatness 
and inspire their clients to provide a good margin for their wonderful work. As Operating Officer, they must ensure 
work is efficient, of the highest standard, and systems are scalable for doubling and tripling volume and profits. This is 
a gruelling task and limits the growth of the organisation. 

What to delegate to grow: As a business grows, these dual roles become exhausting. As a first step to working less 
hard for more profit, the CEO will benefit from either an outstanding Operating Officer to take off their shoulders 
much of the thinking about day-to-day business. Or they will benefit from an ‘Enthusiasm’ Officer to reduce their role 
of thinking about inspiring staff and customers to maximise profits. In choosing which to delegate first, choose the role 
they find less enjoyable. Once the business becomes larger, the company may need one of each reporting to the CEO. 

Functional executives: When a business grows at 20% per year, after 10 years it will be six times the size. To avoid 
executives having to work impossibly harder, the business eventually needs an executive (not simply a manager) to 
take  responsibility  for  each  functional  area:  production,  marketing,  sales,  finance,  administration  and  accounting. 

 
TIPReps and executives should act before the CEO becomes overwhelmed by rapid growth. Then look to promote or 
recruit  an  executive  to  relieve  some  of  the  load  and  facilitate  further  expansion.  Our  aim  should  be  to  make  the 
business more profitable and less stressful. 

Develop or recruit: Businesses develop a superior culture when they develop and promote internal candidates rather 
than recruiting externally. If the business has not had previous success with developing internal management, do not 
despair.  Several  of  our  Selected  Shareholders  have  extensive  experience  in  building  organisations  around  rapid 
management development and can advise if asked. Similarly, if the business has not had positive experience recruiting 
external candidates, you are not alone. Several of our Selected Shareholders have considerable experience in hiring 
executives for entrepreneurial companies and can advise if asked.   

Replacing a successful CEO: If tempted to seek one person to take over from a successful CEO, including all the thinking 
they do about the business, ask two questions: “How easily will we find someone who can handle both roles of Chief 
Enthusiasm Officer and Chief Operating Officer?” and “If a candidate seems capable of handling everything superbly, 
why aren’t they running their own business – one at least as big and profitable as ours?” It is likely that we will need 
several outstanding executives to replace a successful CEO: one to provide enthusiasm; and one or more responsible 
for operations. Provided the board does this while the successful CEO is still engaged, they will have time to mould 
their thinking and ensure a smooth transition. 

  Continuing Roles and Responsibilities 

Continuing  roles:  As  an  executive,  the  role  of  profitably  running  the  business  remains  largely  unchanged  after 
becoming part of the Group. Executives gain access to our tools, balance sheet, TIPReps and Selected Shareholders, 
but they are still responsible for the results of the business. In exchange they are expected to regularly report to their 
board, and follow the advice of the Strategy Committee. The board and Strategy Committee are there to help mentor 
and guide executives to grow the business: but executives are still responsible for ensuring results and will be judged 
accordingly. 

Reporting to a Board: Reporting to a board can be daunting for those not used to it.  Executives should ask three 
questions before including anything in a report to their board: “Could input from the board be helpful on this?”, “Could 
this be financially material?” and “Could this provide an opportunity to substantially increase profits?” If the answer 
is “yes” to any one of these questions, include it in the meeting agenda. If the answer to all three is “no”, omit it. 

Continuous  and  immediate  disclosure:  A  key  principle  of  the  Company,  and  the  ASX,  is  that  of  continuous  and 
immediate disclosure of all material information. This means that if executives become aware of anything that could 
have a material impact on the business they must immediately inform their board. Where the board agrees, they must 
immediately inform the Strategy Committee who, in conjunction with the Board of the Company, will determine if the 
item requires disclosure to the market.  

  Gaining most benefit from a board 

Using a board effectively: Our Portfolio Companies derive most benefit from their board when they share half-formed 
ideas, major dilemmas and concerns, knowledge of their business and why they run it as they do. Well briefed, TIPReps 
can arrange a host of free contacts with expertise the business could not otherwise access.  

Briefing the board: A week prior to the meeting, executives should provide a report from the CEO, including a short 
explanation of any issues on which they would like input, plus TIPBars and any other important reports, so everyone 
is properly briefed. If board meetings regularly take longer than half a day, executives are probably involving the board 
in matters best left to management.  

Forward looking discussion: TIPReps add most value when executives use TIPBars and TIPTool to provide a helicopter 
view of the past month and then provide forward looking key indicators to show where the business is heading. These 
include  activity  indicators  driving  sales  or  revenue  in  coming  months;  sales  driving  profits  in  coming  months;  and 
actions building moats to improve future margins. The board adds most value when focused on factors that improve 
these leading indicators. 

Questions  at  board  meetings:  TIPReps  will  ask  challenging  questions  to  identify  where  and  how  they  can  assist 
executives  to  generate  higher  cash  profits.  The  better  they  understand  the  business,  the  more  they  can  make 
profitable suggestions; and the more they will be able to introduce executives to shareholders who can add value. If 

 
questions get into minutiae, say so: boards are most valuable when focused on big picture items that increase capital 
value. 

Thinking in a visionary way: Until the CEO has built an executive team to free up their time, they will continue working 
in the business. TIPReps will think along lines like: “How could the business make larger profits without doing more 
work?” or “How could this business expand into other business or geographic areas?” or “How could this business 
combine with another TIP Company to increase profits for both?” Executives should ask their TIPReps for these ideas 
at meetings so they can implement the best one or two each year.   

Governance: Governance is, and should be seen as, a powerful way to enhance the performance of a company. Good 
governance grows sustainable profits rather than being a dead weight. To ensure good governance, and assist our 
Companies to develop sustainable profits, TIP provides each board with a ‘governance checklist’ as a customisable 
template to keep track of many regulatory and governance requirements. The updated checklist should be discussed 
at the meeting following each calendar quarter. 

  Gaining most value from the Company 

Responsibility: Executives and board are responsible to the Company and our shareholders. When considering any 
major decision, the board should ask: “Will this increase the regular dividends we pay to the Company?” If the answer 
is ‘no’, ask: “Will this increase the capital value of the business?” If the answer is still ‘no’, ask: “Will this strengthen an 
economic moat or reduce a risk?” If the answer is still ‘no’ ask: “Why are we considering this?” 

Strategy Committee: Each quarter, executives and TIPReps must present their board self-assessment and Quarterly 
Traction Report to the Strategy Committee. Each company can use this opportunity to ask the Strategy Committee for 
contacts or assistance with any challenges they are facing. The Strategy Committee is also likely to ask challenging 
questions aimed at improving the business or assessing performance. 

Strategy days: TIP holds half-yearly strategy days: one in February and the other after the conclusion of the financial 
year. Executives and TIPReps must attend the Strategy Days. During the day, each company presents their plans for 
one (or more) of the four ways for delivering shareholder value: 1. Maximising profits and dividends without sales 
growth; 2. Growth or a new division using the current assets of the business; 3. Bolt-on acquisitions or growth that 
may require extra capital; 4. Working with another Portfolio Company to enhance returns. 

Value from other Portfolio Companies: The Company invests in an increasing number of businesses – all of them run 
by talented people. Portfolio Companies should work together to generate increased profits. This can vary from being 
suppliers  to  one  another,  quoting  together  where  a  wider  range  of  skill  sets  is  needed,  sharing  executive  or  staff 
expertise, pooling marketing ideas, or combining to create a larger company with more depth of management. 

Economies of scale: Through the Group, each business has access to considerable buying power. This can save money 
on insurance, vehicle financing, accounting, legal costs and other services. If you are considering a merger, acquisition 
or divestment, the Company can save substantial legal, accounting, secretarial, compliance and distribution costs. 

  Delivering value 

Benchmark profitability: Portfolio Companies should be among the most profitable businesses: they were founded by 
talented executives and have a shareholder that can provide access to expertise and capital. Over time, our Portfolio 
Companies should aim to achieve Net Profit Margins of 10% to 15% of revenue. Above 15% they should feel proud. 
Below 10% they are letting down the Company and themselves. 

Focus on building moats: Building economic moats enables businesses to earn more profits than competitors. To test 
whether a business has developed economic moats the board should ask: “Can we increase prices faster than inflation 
without having to call a prayer meeting?” If the answer is ‘yes’, then they have built at least one strong economic 
moat. If the answer is ‘no’, think: “How can we build at least one economic moat to increase our profit percentage?”   

Increasing margins or increasing sales: Niche businesses increase profits more via a small increase in margins, than 
via a large increase in sales. Executives can use TIPTool to see the relative uplift in profits from increases in margins, 
increases  in  sales  and  reductions  in  costs.  Test  scenarios  to  find  the  fastest  way  to  increase  profits  with  the  least 
additional work. 

 
Fixed versus variable expenses: The best businesses should never record a loss. Reduce the risk of losses by building 
the business around a higher proportion of variable expenses (which go up or down as sales revenue goes up or down) 
and a lower proportion of fixed expenses. Fixed expenses such as long leases on premises, increase the risk of losses 
while reducing flexibility for growth. For fastest growth with lowest risk, minimise fixed costs by converting them to 
variable expenses. 

The world is changing fast: Technology, data and online connectivity are changing the world. All businesses will be 
affected. Those stuck in the past will find competitors offering similar outcomes cheaper or faster, or superior products 
at the same prices. Those embracing ‘modernisation’ will thrive via higher margins. Modernise the business to stay 
ahead of the competition and improve margins. Use TIPTool to check the improved profit from higher margins after 
any planned ‘costs of modernisation’.   

Profiting  from  inflation:  Inflation  is  both  an  opportunity  and  threat.  Business  inflation  is  generally  above  CPI.  A 
business that doesn’t develop and maintain economic moats is hurt as input and labour costs rise before the business 
can increase prices. Businesses without moats grow weaker still. Some go broke. Executives can ensure their business 
thrives by strengthening existing moats and building new moats. This enables the business to dominate its industry by 
increasing prices faster than inflation, building a war chest, and seizing opportunities to acquire competitors. 

Profit growth matters: When profits are growing quickly, the best employees can see opportunities for advancement 
and higher income. This motivates them to produce better quality work. When profits cease growing, the best staff 
seek employment elsewhere, staff quality goes down and output suffers. This makes it imperative that executives 
continue growing their profits. 

Sales team: To grow profits substantially, it is almost certain the business will need a dedicated sales team. Hire only 
those who are highly enthusiastic. Poor salespeople cost more than any profit they generate. The right salespeople 
generate far more profit than they cost. 

  Long Term Aims 

Long  term  aim:  The  Company  invests  for  many  years  at  a  time.  We  aim  to  assist  executives  to  grow  profits  and 
dividends attractively each year. For new Portfolio Company founders, a substantial way of increasing wealth is by 
exchanging shares owned in an underlying business for shares in the Company. At the right exchange, this increases 
the value of both their shares and ours. It also improves access to finance, adds liquidity and makes it easier to buy 
competitors and dominate the industry. 

Succession  planning:  Although  our  executives  plan  to  continue  leading  our  businesses  for  many  years,  a  major 
responsibility  of  senior  executives  is  to  develop  a  top-quality  leadership  team.  A  quality  executive  team  helps  a 
business grow faster and ensures it is preserved should anything happen to senior executives. To reduce risk, the board 
should identify an emergency successor and ensure that key staff are aware of the decision so they can act quickly and 
with reduced impact if anything untoward occurs.  

Expertise available: TIPReps and Selected Shareholders are available to provide advice, inspiration, and suggestions 
for executives to build value beyond what would be possible alone. 

  Reporting to TIP and the company board 

Reporting to the company board: Each month, the company board will want to know: 

▪ 

sales revenue for the period (month, quarter, year to date); 

▪  profitability for the period; 

▪  how this translated to free cash; 

▪  how executives are building, maintaining or strengthening moats to improve margins; 

▪  any OH&S issues - and that they have been dealt with appropriately; and 

▪ 

the view of executives on how the business is tracking. 

Reporting to the Strategy Committee: The Strategy Committee will want to know each quarter what the board and 
executives have done to: 

 
▪ 

▪ 

▪ 

▪ 

strengthen the profit-enabling moats of our business; 

reduce the likelihood or severity of any risks to the business; 

increase the net profit of our business; 

increase dividends; and 

▪  make progress towards building a stronger executive team. 

Bad news and good news: Material good and bad news should be reported to the board immediately. Good news so 
we can share the success, and bad news so that we can act quickly to solve the problem. When communicating bad 
news, a good executive team will also provide potential ways of addressing the problem. This is so the board may act 
quickly in advising the best  path to mitigate damage and turn the bad news into a new opportunity.  

Loss making quarter: Should the business report a loss for a calendar quarter, the company board must immediately 
arrange a meeting with the Strategy Committee and Board of the Company. The purpose of the meeting is to seek 
advice or assistance, and discuss what changes, if any, are necessary to get the business back to acceptable profit. We 
will be happier with the Portfolio Company when they also inform us how they have already ensured the loss will not 
be repeated. If acceptable changes are not made, the Strategy Committee would expect to replace the executives and 
TIPReps. 

Compliance and culture: Executives are expected to comply with all of the Company’s corporate governance 
policies, and to instil a culture of acting entrepreneurially, ethically and responsibly.

Teaminvest Private Group Limited 
Directors’ report 
30 June 2021 

The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to 
hereafter as the 'Group') consisting of Teaminvest Private Group Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'Company' or 
'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2021. 

Directors 
The following persons were directors of Teaminvest Private Group Limited during the whole of the financial year and 
up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated: 

•  Malcolm Jones - Chair  
•  Andrew Coleman 
•  Howard Coleman 
• 
Ian Kadish  
•  Regan Passlow 

Principal activities 
During the financial period the principal continuing activities of the Group consisted of investing in Australian businesses. 

Dividends 
There were no dividends paid, recommended, or declared during the current or previous financial year. 

Review of operations 
The profit for the Group after providing for income tax amounted to $5,201,000 (30 June 2020: $8,306,000). 

The Group as a whole has delivered another solid performance increasing NPAT on a comparable basis (excluding 
insurance recoveries) to FY20. Whilst some individual subsidiaries have been affected by COVID-19, previous years 
bushfires and trade disruptions from international suppliers, the impact has been to the revenue line. The majority of 
the  Group  have  effectively  managed  to  increase  profit  as  a  result  of  Management’s  strategy  of  capitalising  on 
opportunities that have arisen from the pandemic. 

Coastal  Energy  has  been  adversely  impacted  due  to  being  suspended  as  a  rated  service  provider  by  Energex 
Corporation Limited, resulting in a loss of $6,100,000. The portfolio structure of our Group has enabled the results to 
continue along the growth path expected as a whole. The new management have a key focus on reinvigorating the 
business  model,  operations,  and  safety  practices  of  Coastal  Energy.  While  the  performance  of  Coastal  Energy 
detracted from the Group performance significantly, swift action has been taken to limit the future impact. 

Refer to the 'CEO report' for further details of operations and commentary on the results. 

Significant changes in the state of affairs 
On  17  September  2020,  the  Group  acquired  100%  of  the  shares  in  Automation  Group  Investments  Pty  Ltd  for 
the initial purchase  price of $2,660,000 and a contingent consideration of $400,000 based on a percentage of revenue 
generated under a key contract for financial year 2021 payable after completion of the 2021 financial year audit. Refer 
to note 34 to the financial statements for further information. 

On 30 June 2021, the Group acquired 100% of the shares in Teaminvest Pty Ltd and other related entities, through 
the issue of shares in the Group,  for a  non-cash  purchase price of $8,110,000. Refer  to note  34 to the financial 
statements for further information. 

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year.

Directors’ report 
30 June 2021 

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year 
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and whilst individual subsidiaries have been impacted differently, the 
net effect on the Group's results remain within a reasonable bound compared to 30 June 2021. It is not practicable to 
estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date as the situation attributed to the Delta variant 
is evolving. Any future estimate is dependent on measures imposed by both State and Australian Governments, such 
as lockdowns, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided. 

Likely developments and expected results of operations 
Refer to the 'CEO letter' for details of likely developments and expected results of operations. 

Environmental regulation 
The Group is not subject to any significant environmental regulation under Australian Commonwealth or State law.

Directors’ report 
30 June 2021 

The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings: 

•  Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 
•  Details of remuneration 
•  Service agreements 
•  Share-based compensation 
•  Additional information 
•  Additional disclosures relating to key management personnel 

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration  
The  objective  of  the  Group's  executive  reward  framework  is  to  ensure  reward  for  performance  is  competitive  and 
appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives 
and the creation of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best practice for the delivery of 
reward. The Board of Directors ('the Board') ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good 
reward governance practices: 

competitiveness and reasonableness; 

• 
•  acceptability to shareholders; 
•  performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation; and 
• 

transparency. 

The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its directors and executives. 
The performance of the Group depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy is 
to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high quality personnel. The Board determines its remuneration 
policies  having  regard  to  the  Group’s  earnings  and  the  consequences  of  the  Group’s  performance  on  shareholder 
wealth. 

The Board has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the 
reward strategy of the Group. 

The  reward  framework  is  designed  to  align  executive  reward  to shareholders'  interests.  The  Board  considers  that  it 
should seek to enhance shareholders' interests by: 

•  having economic profit as a core component of plan design; 
• 

focusing  on  sustained  growth  in  shareholder  wealth,  consisting  of  dividends  and  growth  in  share  price,  and 
delivering constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers 
of value; and 

•  attracting and retaining high calibre executives. 

Additionally, the reward framework seeks to enhance executives' interests by: 

rewarding capability and experience; 
reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth; and 

• 
• 
•  providing a clear structure for earning rewards. 

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive director 
remuneration is separate. 

Non-executive directors' remuneration 
Fees  and  payments  to  non-executive  directors  reflect  the  demands  and  responsibilities  of  their  role.  Non-executive 
directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. The chair's fees are determined independently to the 
fees of other non-executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The chair is not present at any 
discussions relating to the determination of their own remuneration. Non-executive directors do not receive share options 
or other incentives. 

The annual non-executive directors' fees currently agreed to be paid by the Company are set out below:  

Director                                                                                     Director's fees 

Malcolm Jones                                                                          $100,000 per annum (including superannuation).

Teaminvest Private Group Limited 
Directors’ report 
30 June 2021 

Each non-executive director has agreed with the Company that half of their remuneration will be accrued but not paid 
during each financial year. If shareholder approval is received at the annual general meeting following the end of each 
financial year, this accrued remuneration will be issued as ordinary shares. If shareholder approval is not received, the 
accrued remuneration will be paid as cash. 

Australian  Securities  Exchange  ('ASX')  listing  rules  require  the  aggregate  non-executive  directors'  remuneration  be 
determined periodically by a general meeting. The maximum aggregate non-executive directors' remuneration approved 
by the Constitution is $500,000. Any changes to this amount will be approved by shareholders in the annual general 
meeting. 

Executive remuneration 
Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by 
the  Board  based  on  individual  and  business  unit  performance  and  the  overall  performance  of  the  Group.  The  fixed 
remuneration is set below comparable market remunerations. A greater percentage of total executive remuneration is 
available through short term and long term incentives based on performance. 

The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components: 

•  base pay and non-monetary benefits; 
short-term performance incentives; 
• 
• 
share-based payments; and 
•  other remuneration such as superannuation, annual leave and long service leave. 

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

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by 
the Board based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the Group and comparable 
market remunerations. 

Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle 
benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the Group and provides additional value to the executive. 

The short-term incentives ('STI') program is designed to align the targets of the business units with the performance 
hurdles of executives. STI payments are granted to executives based on specific annual targets and key performance 
indicators ('KPI's') being achieved. KPI's include profit contribution, customer satisfaction, leadership contribution and 
product management. The KPI for the period ended 30 June 2020, in relation to Andrew Coleman and Dean Robinson 
STI of $50,000 (inclusive of super) was awarded for successfully managing the Group, enabling a positive collaborative 
environment and enhancing the growth of the Group through difficult economic times. The STI Program has not been 
continued in period ended 30 June 2021.

Directors’ report 
30 June 2021 

Period up to 30 June 2020 
Remuneration  for  certain  individuals  is  directly  linked  to  the  performance  of  the  Group  as  part  of  the  LTI.  After 
shareholder approval, the Company issued four tranches of $300,000 performance rights to Andrew Coleman and four 
tranches of $250,000 performance rights to Dean Robinson, over four years. Each tranche of performance rights was 
converted into ordinary shares upon the achievement of the comprehensive income per share targets set out below. 
The  last  two  tranches  have  lapsed  due  to  change  in  remuneration  policy  as  approved  by  shareholders  in  the  2020 
annual general meeting.

Remuneration under LTI consists of performance shares with an income per share target.  

The first tranche of performance share targets represented a significant premium to the income per share at listing. 
Each subsequent tranche represented a further large increase in income per share. 

Period from 01 July 2020 
The Board introduced incentive based on Net Profit After Tax as described below. 

An annual bonus equal to 3.5% of the Group’s audited comprehensive income for the financial year (before expensing 
the cost of the bonus) comprising: 

•  50% to be paid in cash (Cash Component); and 
•  50% to be issued as shares in the Company (Share Component).   

The cash component of the bonus is determined twice each financial year:  

1.  50% is paid after the half year review; and  
2.  50% is paid after the audited full year results.  

The share component is to be determined after the audited full year results, the shares are issued at a 10-day VWAP 
as at 30 June. In addition, any shares issued in satisfaction of the Share Component will be subject to escrow for 30 
months from the end of the financial year 

Use of remuneration consultants 
During the financial period  ended 30 June 2021, the Group did not engage the use of remuneration consultants, to 
review  its  existing  remuneration  policies  and  provide  recommendations  on  how  to  improve  both  the  STI  and  LTI 
programs.

Teaminvest Private Group Limited 
Directors’ report 
30 June 2021 

Shares under option 
There were no unissued ordinary shares of Teaminvest Private Group Limited under option outstanding at the date of 
this report. 

Shares issued on the exercise of options 
There were no ordinary shares of Teaminvest Private Group Limited issued on the exercise of options during the year 
ended 30 June 2021 and up to the date of this report. 

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  against  a  liability  to  the  extent  permitted  by  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  The  contract  of  insurance 
prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium. 

Indemnity and insurance of auditor 
The Company has not, during or since the end of the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the auditor of 
the Company or any related entity against a liability incurred by the auditor. 

During the financial year, the Company has not paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the auditor of the 
Company or any related entity. 

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

Non-audit services 
Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the 
auditor are outlined in note 29 to the financial statements. 

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another 
person or firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed 
by the Corporations Act 2001. 

The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 29 to the financial statements do not compromise 
the external auditor's independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: 

•  all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and 

objectivity of the auditor; and 

•  none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 
Code  of  Ethics  for  Professional  Accountants  (including  Independence  Standards)  issued  by  the  Accounting 
Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a 
management or decision-making capacity for the Group, acting as advocate for the Group or jointly sharing 
economic risks and rewards. 

Officers of the Company who are former partners of KPMG 
There are no officers of the Company who are former partners of KPMG. 

Rounding of amounts 
The  Company  is  of  a  kind  referred  to  in  Corporations  Instrument  2016/191,  issued by  the  Australian  Securities  and 
Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with 
that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

Teaminvest Private Group Limited 
Notes to the financial statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2021 

Note 1. General information 

The financial statements cover Teaminvest Private Group Limited as a Group consisting of Teaminvest Private Group 
Limited ('Company' or 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the period (referred to in these 
financial statements as the 'Group'). The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Teaminvest 
Private Group Limited's functional and presentation currency. 

Teaminvest Private Group Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. 
Its registered office and principal place of business is: 

Suite 302, 80 Mount Street 
North Sydney, NSW 2060 

A description of the nature of the Group's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' report, which 
is not part of the financial statements. 

For  the  purposes  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  Teaminvest  Private  Pty  Ltd  has  been  identified  as  the 
accounting parent (legal acquiree) and the Group as the legal parent (accounting acquiree). 

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 26 August 2021. 
The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. 

Note 2. Significant accounting policies 

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

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted 
The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. 

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. 

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted 
Australian  Accounting  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 2021. The Group's 
assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the 
Group, are set out below. 

New Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 
The revised Conceptual Framework is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and 
early adoption is permitted. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new 
guidance  on  measurement  that  affects  several  Accounting  Standards.  Where  the  Group  has  relied  on  the  existing 
framework in determining its accounting policies for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with 
under the Australian Accounting Standards, the Group may need to review such policies under the revised framework. 
At this time, the application of the Conceptual Framework is not expected to have a material impact on the Group's 
financial statements.

Teaminvest Private Group Limited 
Notes to the financial statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2021 

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Basis of preparation 
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards 
and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as 
appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting 
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB'). 

Historical cost convention 
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, unless otherwise stated. 

Critical accounting estimates 
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires 
management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving 
a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial 
statements, are disclosed in note 3. 

Parent entity information 
In  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  these  financial  statements  present  the  results  of  the  Group  only. 
Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 39. 

Principles of consolidation 
The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  all  subsidiaries  of  Teaminvest  Private 
Group Limited as at 30 June 2021 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended. 

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group 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. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control 
is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. 

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

The  acquisition  of  subsidiaries  is  accounted  for  using  the  acquisition  method  of  accounting.  A  change in  ownership 
interest,  without  the  loss  of  control,  is  accounted  for  as  an  equity  transaction,  where  the  difference  between  the 
consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly 
in equity attributable to the parent. 

Where  the  Group  loses  control  over  a  subsidiary,  it  derecognises  the  assets  including  goodwill,  liabilities  and  non-
controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group 
recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any 
gain or loss in profit or loss. 

Operating segments 
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same 
basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for 
the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

Notes to the financial statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2021 

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Revenue recognition 
The Group recognises revenue as follows: 

Revenue from contracts with customers 
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in 
exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group: identifies the 
contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which 
takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to 
the  separate  performance  obligations  on  the  basis  of  the  relative  stand-alone  selling  price  of  each  distinct  good  or 
service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that 
depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised. 

Variable  consideration  within  the  transaction  price,  if  any,  reflects  concessions  provided  to  the  customer  such  as 
discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. 
Such estimates are determined using either the 'expected value' or 'most likely amount' method. The measurement of 
variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it 
is  highly  probable  that  a  significant  reversal  in  the  amount  of  cumulative  revenue  recognised  will  not  occur.  The 
measurement  constraint  continues  until  the  uncertainty  associated  with  the  variable  consideration  is  subsequently 
resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability. 

Sale of goods 
Revenue from the design, manufacture and installation of the products listed below is typically recognised at the point 
in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is generally at the time of installation or delivery. 

•  glass splashbacks, glass bathroom walls and toughened mirrors; 
• 
•  automation and remote monitoring products. 

semi-trailers; and 

Revenue from the design, development and installation of electrical network extensions and upgrades work in exchange 
for a fixed fee is recognised over time. 

Rendering of services 
Revenue  from  a  contract  to  provide  logistic support  services  is  recognised  at  a  point  in  time  when  the  services  are 
rendered based on a fixed price. 

Revenue from the design, development and installation of architectural metal work and traffic management services in 
exchange for a fixed fee, are recognised over time. Due to the high degree of interdependence between the various 
elements of these projects, they are accounted for as a single performance obligation. The performance obligation is 
based on the 'output method', where progress is measured against internally predetermined project milestones, being 
the most faithful depiction of the transfer of goods and services to each customer based on historical experience. As 
the performance obligation is generally completed within 12 months, the Group has used the practical expedient not to 
adjust for the effects of financing.  

The revenue from subscription and education services is recognised over the respective deemed benefit period. 

Interest 
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating 
the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective 
interest rate, which is  the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts  through the expected life of the 
financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. 

Other revenue 
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

Income tax 
The  income  tax  expense  or  benefit  for  the  period  is  the  tax  payable  on  that  period's  taxable  income  based  on  the 
applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable 
to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when 
the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, 
except for: 

•  When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or 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 nor taxable profits; or 

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

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that 
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred 
tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available 
for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that 
it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets 
against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable 
authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously. 

Teaminvest  Private  Group  Limited  (the  'head  entity')  and  its  wholly-owned  Australian  subsidiaries  have  formed  an 
income  tax  consolidated  group  under  the  tax  consolidation  regime.  The  head  entity  and  each  subsidiary  in  the  tax 
consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has 
applied  the  'separate  taxpayer  within  group'  approach  in  determining  the  appropriate  amount  of  taxes  to  allocate  to 
members of the tax consolidated group. 

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or 
assets)  and  the  deferred  tax  assets  arising  from  unused  tax  losses  and  unused  tax  credits  assumed  from  each 
subsidiary  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 tax consolidated 
group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of 
each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a contribution by  the head entity to the subsidiaries  nor a 
distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity. 

Current and non-current classification 
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. 

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the 
Group's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 
months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or 
used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. 

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Group's normal operating cycle; it is held 
primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no 
unconditional  right  to  defer  the  settlement  of  the  liability  for  at  least  12  months  after  the  reporting  period.  All  other 
liabilities are classified as non-current. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

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

Trade and other receivables 
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 
30 days. 

The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected 
loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue. 

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses. 

Contract assets 
Contract assets are recognised when the Group has transferred goods or services to the customer but where the Group 
has yet to issue an invoice. Contract assets are treated as financial assets for impairment purposes. 

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. 

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. 

Associates 
Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control. Investments in 
associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the 
associate is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the movements in equity is recognised in other comprehensive 
income. Investments in associates are carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes 
in the Group's share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount 
of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. Dividends received or receivable from 
associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment. 

When  the  Group's  share  of  losses  in  an  associate  equals  or  exceeds  its  interest  in  the  associate,  including  any 
unsecured  long-term  receivables,  the  Group  does not  recognise  further  losses,  unless  it  has  incurred  obligations  or 
made payments on behalf of the associate. 

The  Group  discontinues  the  use  of  the  equity  method  upon  the  loss  of  significant  influence  over  the  associate  and 
recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the associate's carrying amount, fair value 
of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Property, plant and equipment 
Plant and equipment is 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: 

Leasehold improvements 
Plant and equipment 
Plant and equipment under lease 
Motor vehicles  

 over the term of the lease 
 1-10 years 
 2-5 years 
 4 years 

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

Leasehold  improvements  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 Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.  

Right-of-use assets 
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, 
which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or 
before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where 
included  in  the  cost  of  inventories,  an  estimate  of  costs  expected  to  be  incurred  for  dismantling  and  removing  the 
underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset. 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis  over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated 
useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at 
the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment 
or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. 

The Group has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with 
terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or 
loss as incurred. 

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. Indefinite life 
intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible 
assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in 
profit or loss 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. 

Goodwill 
Goodwill  arises  on  the  acquisition  of  a  business.  Goodwill  is  not  amortised.  Instead,  goodwill  is  tested  annually  for 
impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired and is carried at 
cost  less  accumulated  impairment  losses.  Impairment  losses  on  goodwill  are  taken  to  profit  or  loss  and  are  not 
subsequently reversed. 

Customer contracts 
Customer contracts acquired in a business combination are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their 
expected benefit, being their finite life of 6 to 15 years, unless determined otherwise.

Software 
Significant costs associated with software are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their 
expected benefit, being their finite useful life of 5 years, unless determined otherwise. 

Formation costs 
Costs in relation to the formation of the Group are capitalised as an asset. These costs are not subsequently amortised. 

Patents, licence and trademarks 
Significant  costs  associated  with  patents,  licenses,  brands,  and  trademarks,  if  with  a  finite  life,  are  deferred  and 
amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite useful life or 10 years. 

Impairment of non-financial assets 
Goodwill is not subject to amortisation and is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in 
circumstances  indicate  that  it  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 asset'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. 

Trade and other payables 
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year 
and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The 
amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 

Contract liabilities 
Contract liabilities represent the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer and are recognised when 
a  customer  pays  consideration,  or  when  the  Group  recognises  a  receivable  to  reflect  its  unconditional  right  to 
consideration (whichever is earlier) before the Group has transferred the goods or services to the customer. 

Borrowings 
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. 
They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

Lease liabilities 
A  lease  liability  is  recognised  at  the  commencement  date  of  a  lease.  The  lease  liability  is  initially  recognised  at  the 
present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in 
the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise 
of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, 
amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise 
of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that 
do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. 

Lease  liabilities  are  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  method.  The  carrying  amounts  are 
remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; 
residual  guarantee;  lease  term;  certainty  of  a  purchase  option  and  termination  penalties.  When  a  lease  liability  is 
remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of 
the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Finance costs 
Finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. 

Provisions 
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it 
is probable the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the 
obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present 
obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time 
value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase 
in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. 

Employee benefits 
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. 

Other long-term employee benefits 
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date 
are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees 
up to the reporting date. Consideration is  given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee 
departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date 
on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated 
future cash outflows. 

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

Share-based payments 
Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees. 

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange 
for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the 
amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price. 

Fair value measurement 
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the 
fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction 
between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the 
principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. 

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, 
assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its 
highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are 
available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of 
unobservable inputs. 

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the 
significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and 
transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the 
fair value measurement. 

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either 
not  available  or  when  the  valuation  is  deemed  to  be  significant.  External  valuers  are  selected  based  on  market 
knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to 
another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and 
a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

Issued capital 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of 
tax, from the proceeds. 

Business combinations 
The  acquisition  method  of  accounting  is  used  to  account  for  business  combinations  regardless  of  whether  equity 
instruments or other assets are acquired. 

The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments 
issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling 
interest  in  the  acquiree.  For  each  business  combination,  the  non-controlling  interest  in  the  acquiree  is  measured  at 
either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs are expensed 
as incurred. 

On  the  acquisition  of  a  business,  the  Group  assesses  the  financial  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  for 
appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group's 
operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date. 

Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the Group remeasures its previously held equity interest in the 
acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount 
is recognised in profit or loss. 

Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent 
changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. 
Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within 
equity. 

The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling 
interest  in  the  acquiree  and  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  transferred  and  the  fair  value  of  any  pre-existing 
investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is 
less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference 
is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of 
the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the 
consideration transferred and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree. 

Business  combinations  are  initially  accounted  for  on  a  provisional  basis.  The  acquirer  retrospectively  adjusts  the 
provisional  amounts  recognised  and  also  recognises  additional  assets  or  liabilities  during  the  measurement  period, 
based  on  new  information  obtained  about  the  facts  and  circumstances  that  existed  at  the  acquisition-date.  The 
measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer 
receives all the information possible to determine fair value. 

When two or more entities combine through an exchange of equity interests, AASB 3 requires one of the entities to be 
deemed the acquirer under a reverse acquisition. In a ‘reverse acquisitions’, the issuing entity is the deemed to be the 
acquiree (legal parent) and the acquirer is deemed to be the subsidiary. In identifying the acquirer in a reverse acquisition 
the consideration is given in facts and circumstances including (a) the relative voting rights in the combined entity after 
the business combination; (b) the existence of a large minority voting interest in the combined entity if no other owner 
or organised group of owners has a significant voting interest; (c) the composition of the governing body of the combined 
entity; (d) the composition of the senior management of the combined entity and (e) the terms of the exchange of equity 
interests. The acquirer is usually the combining entity whose relative size (measured in, for example, assets, revenues 
or profit) is significantly greater than that of the other combining entity or entities.

Earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share 
Basic earnings  per share  is  calculated  by  dividing  the  profit  attributable  to  the  owners  of Teaminvest Private Group 
Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary 
shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial 
year. 

Diluted earnings per share 
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account 
the after-income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and 
the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential 
ordinary shares. 

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes 
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not 
recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as 
part of the expense. 

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST 
recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of 
financial position. 

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

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

Comparative information 
Comparatives have been restated, where appropriate, to conform to changes in presentation in the current year and to 
enhance comparability. There was no net effect on the net asset position. 

Rounding of amounts 
The  Company  is  of  a  kind  referred  to  in  Corporations  Instrument  2016/191,  issued by  the  Australian  Securities  and 
Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with 
that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

Note 3. Critical 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, 
estimates  and  assumptions  on  historical  experience  and  on  other  various  factors,  including  expectations  of  future 
events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and 
estimates  will  seldom  equal  the  related  actual  results.  The  judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  that  have  a 
significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective 
notes) within the next financial year are discussed below. 

COVID-19 pandemic 
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic has had, or may have, on the 
Group  based  on  known  information.  This  consideration  extends  to  the  nature  of  the  products  and  services  offered, 
customers, supply  chain, staffing  and geographic regions  in which  the Group  operates.  Other  than  as  addressed  in 
specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any 
significant  uncertainties  with  respect  to  events  or  conditions  which  has  impacted  the  Group  unfavourably  as  at  the 
reporting date or subsequently as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Revenue recognition over time 
For  performance  obligations  satisfied  over  time,  management  uses  judgement  to  select  a  method  for  measuring  its 
progress  towards  complete  satisfaction  of  that  performance  obligation.  In  exercising  that  judgement,  management 
selects  a  method  that  depicts  its  performance  in  transferring  control  of  goods  or  services  to  the  customer.  For  the 
provision  of  architectural  metal  work,  management  has  determined  that  progress  should  be  measured  by  internally 
predetermined project milestones (an output method). Specifically this method involves estimating the progress towards 
satisfying  performance  obligations  within  the  contract  and  contract  costs  expected  to  be  incurred  to  satisfy  the 
performance obligations. 

Allowance for expected credit losses 
The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the 
lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes assumptions to allocate an overall expected 
credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include recent sales experience, historical collection rates, the impact 
of the COVID-19 pandemic and forward-looking information that is available 

Provision for impairment of inventories 
The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of the 
provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories and other factors 
that affect inventory obsolescence. 

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

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions(continued) 

Goodwill  
The  Group  tests  annually,  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  impairment,  whether 
goodwill  has  suffered  any  impairment,  in  accordance  with  the  accounting  policy  stated  in  note  2.  The  recoverable 
amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require 
the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the 
estimated future cash flows. 

Income tax 
The  Group  is  subject  to  income  taxes  in  the  jurisdictions  in  which  it  operates.  Significant  judgement  is  required  in 
determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary 
course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated 
tax audit issues based on the Group's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters 
is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period 
in which such determination is made. 

Recovery of deferred tax assets 
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the Group considers it is probable that 
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

Incremental borrowing rate 
Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to 
discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. 
Such a rate is based on what the Group estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to 
obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment.

Note 4. Operating segments 

Identification of reportable operating segments 
The Group is organised into two operating segments based on the whether it manufactures ('Engineering') or provides 
services ('Services'). These operating segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the 
Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and 
in determining the allocation of resources. Further details are as follows: 

Segment name 

 Description 

Engineering segment 

Services segment 

 The engineering segment includes three wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Group: Lusty 
TIP  Trailers  Pty  Ltd;  Icon  Metal  Pty  Ltd;  Automation  Group  Investments  Pty  Ltd  and 
Coastal Energy Pty Ltd. 
 The  services  segment  includes  five  wholly-owned  subsidiaries;  East  Coast  Traffic 
Controllers  Pty  Ltd,  Teaminvest  Private  Residential  Group  Pty  Ltd  (aggregation  of 
DecoGlaze  Holdings  Pty  Ltd  (previously  under  Engineering  segment),  Kitome  Pty  Ltd, 
Boutique Portraits Pty Ltd, and The Step Ahead Builder’s Assistant Pty Ltd), Valuestream 
Investment  Management  Limited  and  Teaminvest  Pty  Ltd  and  three  associate  entities: 
Colour Capital Pty Ltd, Multimedia Technology Pty Ltd and Teaminvest Private Insurance 
Services Pty Ltd. 

There is no aggregation of operating segments. 

The  CODM  reviews  EBITDA  (earnings  before  interest,  tax,  depreciation  and  amortisation).  The  accounting  policies 
adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements. 

The information reported to the CODM is on a monthly basis. 

Intersegment transactions 
There were no material intersegment transactions. 

Intersegment receivables, payables and loans 
There were intersegment receivables, payables and loans amounting to $nil (2020 $nil). 

Major customers 
During the period ended 30 June 2021, the Group had sales to a construction customer that amounted to $13,250,249 
(2020: $9,175,000).

Government grants (COVID-19) 
The Group as a whole has delivered another solid performance increasing NPAT on a comparable basis to FY20. 
Whilst some individual subsidiaries have been affected by COVID-19, previous years bushfires and trade disruptions 
from international suppliers, the impact has been to the revenue line. The remainder of the group, due to strength of 
management have been able to capitalise on the opportunities presented by the pandemic and have grown revenue 
and managed overheads to be able to increase profits. The portfolio structure of our Group has enabled the results 
to continue along the growth path expected as a whole.  

As the result of the loss of the founder of a subsidiary in July 2019 the group received an insurance payout of $4,020,000 
under two keyman policies. 

Refer to the 'CEO report' for further details of operations and commentary on the results.

Additions to the right-of-use assets during the period were $1,788,000  

The Group leases land and buildings for its offices, warehouses and retail outlets under agreements of between 1 to 5 
years with, in some cases, options to extend. The leases have various escalation clauses. On renewal, the terms of the 
leases are renegotiated. The Group also leases plant and equipment under agreements of between 1 to 5 years. The 
Group leases office equipment under agreements of less than 1 year. These leases are either short-term or low-value, 
so have been expensed as incurred and not capitalised as right-of-use assets.

Limited.  However,  in  light  of  the  adverse  effect  on  the  Coastal  Energy  operations  and  outlook,  the  directors  have 
impaired Coastal Energy’s goodwill of $4,260,000 and carrying value of the customer relationship intangibles of $34,000.

Note 16. Non-current assets – intangibles (continued) 

The recoverable amount of the Group's goodwill has been determined by a value-in-use calculation using a discounted 
cash flow model, based on management approved budget and the application of a growth rate for a 5 year projection 
period, together with a terminal value. 

The following assumptions were used in the discounted cash flow models for the period subsequent to management's 
approved budget:

Group 
Kitome 
DecoGlaze 

The Group performed a restructure of business operations of DecoGlaze and Kitome during the year ended 30 June 
2021. The restructure included combining product offerings from Kitome and DecoGlaze into a single contract and a 
single  management  overseeing  Teaminvest  Private  Residential  Group  Pty  Ltd.  As  a  result,  impairment  testing  was 
performed treating Teaminvest Private Residential Group Pty Ltd as a single cash generating unit. 

Key assumption 
Revenue growth rate 

Discount rate 

Terminal growth rate 

Approach used to determine values 
Management  believes  revenue  growth  is  appropriate 
based on market conditions and outlook with businesses 
being  driven  by  top  line  results  with  limited  fixed  costs, 
stable cost of goods sold when considering the general 
market in which the relevant CGU operates. 

Pre-tax discount rate reflects management’s estimate of 
the  time  value  of  money  and  the  relevant  portfolio 
company’s weighted average cost of capital adjusted for 
the risk-free rate and the volatility of the relevant portfolio 
company’s industry relative to market movements. 

Management  have  estimated  that  the  terminal  growth 
rate  will  be  in  line  with  the  Reserve  Bank  of  Australia 
('RBA') expected gross domestic products ('GDP') growth 
rate. 

Based on the above, other than Coastal  Energy  which has been fully impaired,  the  recoverable amount of the 
remaining CGUs exceed the carrying amount and therefore, goodwill is not considered to be further impaired.

Sensitivity 
As  disclosed  in  note  3,  the  directors  have  made  judgements  and  estimates  in  respect  of  impairment  testing  of 
goodwill. Should  these  judgements  and  estimates  not  occur  the  resulting  goodwill  carrying  amount  may  decrease.

should the Company be wound up, in proportions that consider both the number of shares held and the extent to which 
those shares are paid up. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited 
amount authorized capital.  

On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each 
share shall have one vote. 

Share buy-back 
There is no current on-market share buy-back. 

Capital risk management 
The Group’s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can 
provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to 
reduce the cost of capital.

Notes to the financial statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2021 

Note 25 – Equity issued capital (continued) 

Capital  is  regarded  as  total  equity,  as  recognised  in  the  statement  of  financial  position,  plus  net  debt.  Net  debt  is 
calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.  

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, 
return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. 

The Group would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding 
relative to the current Company's share price at the time of the investment. The Group is actively looking for accretive 
acquisitions to grow in alignment with the Group’s investment mandate. 

The Group is subject to certain financing arrangements covenants and meeting these is given priority in all capital risk 
management decisions. There have been no events of default on the financing arrangements during the financial year.

Notes to the financial statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2021 

Note 27. Financial instruments 

Financial risk management objectives 
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including interest rate risk), credit risk and 
liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and 
seeks  to  minimise  potential  adverse  effects  on  the  financial  performance  of  the  Group.  The  Group  uses  different 
methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case 
of interest rate and ageing analysis for credit risk. 

Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') in conjunction with the Risk and Compliance 
committee ('RCC'). Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the Group's operating units. Finance 
reports to the Board on a monthly basis. 

Market risk 
Foreign currency risk 
The Group is not exposed to any significant foreign currency risk. 

Price risk 
The Group is not exposed to any significant price risk. 

Interest rate risk 
The Group's main interest rate risk arises from its long-term borrowings. Borrowings obtained at variable rates expose 
the Group to interest rate risk. Borrowings obtained at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk.  

As at the reporting date, the Group had the following variable rate borrowings outstanding:

An analysis by remaining contractual maturities in shown in 'liquidity risk' below. 

For the Group, the bank overdraft and loans outstanding, totalling $702,000 (2020: $379,000), are principal and interest 
payment  loans.  An  official  increase/decrease  in  interest  rates  of  100  (2020:  100)  basis  points  would  have  an 
adverse/favourable effect on profit before tax of $7,020 (2020: $3,790) per annum. The percentage change is based on 
the expected volatility of interest rates using market data and analysts' forecasts.

Notes to the financial statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2021 

Note 27 – Financial instruments (continued) 

Credit risk 
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the 
Group. The Group has a strict code of credit, including obtaining agency credit information, confirming references and 
setting appropriate credit limits. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets 
is the carrying amount, net of any expected credit losses of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial 
position and notes to the financial statements. The Group does not hold any collateral. 

The Group has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables 
through the use of a provisions matrix using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered 
representative  across  all  customers  of  the  Group  based  on  recent  sales  experience,  historical  collection  rates  and 
forward-looking information that is available. Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable 
expectation  of  recovery.  Indicators  of  this  include  the  failure  of  a  debtor  to  engage  in  a  repayment  plan,  no  active 
enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than one year. 

Liquidity risk 
Vigilant  liquidity  risk  management  requires  the  Group  to  maintain  sufficient  liquid  assets  (mainly  cash  and  cash 
equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable. 

The  Group  manages  liquidity  risk  by  maintaining  adequate  cash  reserves  and  available  borrowing  facilities  by 
continuously  monitoring  actual  and  forecast  cash  flows  and  matching  the  maturity  profiles  of  financial  assets  and 
liabilities.

The bank overdraft facilities may be drawn at any time and may be terminated by the bank without notice. Subject to 
the continuance of satisfactory credit ratings, the bank loan facilities may be drawn at any time. 

Remaining contractual maturities 
The following tables detail the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables 
have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which 
the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as 
remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of 
financial position. 

The cash flows in the maturity analysis above are not expected to occur significantly earlier than contractually disclosed 
above.

 Note 34 – Business Combinations (continued)  

*The income approach / excess earning method was used to determine the fair value of Teaminvest Pty Ltd’s intangible 
assets. Within the income method, it used the discounted cash flow (DCF), the Relief-from-Royalty  and the with-or-
without (based on DCF) methods. The asset-based approach (replication method) was utilised as a secondary cross-
check for technology-based intangible asset. 

External valuer was engaged to assist with the valuation of Teaminvest Pty Ltd. The value in use was determined by 
discounting  the  future  cash  flows  to  be  generated  from  the  Teaminvest  Pty  Ltd  and  is  based  on  the  following  key 
assumptions: 

•  Average net annual membership growth of 5.12% was used for revenue projections. This growth was referenced 

against the average annual historical growth rates over the past 5 years;  

•  Average churn rate of 15% was used as part the revenue projection forecast. This rate was referenced against 

the average annual historical churn rates over the past 5 years; 

•  Long term growth rate of 2.50% was used in reference to the average growth forecast of the industry; 
•  A pre-tax discount rate of 12% based on the weighted average cost of capital.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and whilst individual subsidiaries have been impacted differently, the 
net effect on the Group's results remain within a reasonable bound compared to 30 June 2021, it is not practicable to 
estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date as the situation attributed to COVID-19 and 
its Delta variant is evolving and is dependent on measures imposed by the State Governments, Australian Government 
and other countries, such as lockdowns, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

Key Audit Matters 

The Key Audit Matters we identified 
are: 

• Revenue recognition  

• Carrying value of intangibles 

• Business combinations 

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. 

Revenue recognition 

Refer to note 5 of the Financial Report ($91.4m)

The key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Recognition of revenue is a key audit matter 
due to:  

  The significance of revenue to the Financial 

Report; and 

  The Group has entered a large number of 
contracts across its different businesses, 
operating in multiple industries, with a wide 
range of customers.  These contracts may 
have numerous performance measurement 
events which occur over the course of the 
contract’s life. This may also result in 
judgmental revenue recognition from 
rendering of services contracts and 
therefore significant audit effort is required 
to gather sufficient audit evidence. 

Our procedures included: 

  We obtained an understanding of the Group’s 

process of recognising revenue for rendering of 
services and sale of goods; 

  We evaluated the appropriateness of the Group’s 

revenue recognition policies against the 
requirements of AASB 15 Revenue from 
contracts with customers; 

  We selected a sample of contracts for testing, 
across businesses, industries and customer 
types, focusing on key revenue streams where 
revenue is recognised over time. For each 
contract selected, we read the contract terms 
and conditions to evaluate the individual 
characteristics of each contract for consistency 
with the Group’s method of measuring 
performance and revenue to date; 

  We used statistical sampling to select a sample 
of transactions recognising revenue through   
rendering of services and examined either 
progress claim certificates or management’s 
assessment of progress against project plans. 
We obtained signed contracts and checked the 
performance milestones against the value of 
service revenue recognised.    

  We used statistical sampling to select a sample 
of sale of goods transactions and examined 
delivery dockets and sales invoices; 

70 

  We selected a sample of revenue transactions 
from rendering of services immediately before 
and immediately after year end. We examined 
the underlying contract, project plan and other 
supporting documentation and compared this to 
the timing of the revenue recognised;  

  We selected a sample of revenue transactions 
from sale of goods immediately before and 
immediately after year end. We examined the 
supporting documentation including date of 
delivery and compared this to the timing of the 
revenue recognised. 

Carrying value of intangibles  

Refer to note 16 of the Financial Report ($63.1m)

The key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

A key audit matter was the Group’s annual 
testing of intangibles for impairment, given 
the size of the balance (being 46% of total 
assets) and the impairment charge recorded 
in respect of the Coastal Energy business of 
$4.3m. We focused on the significant 
forward-looking assumptions the Group 
applied in its value in use models, including: 

forecast cash flows and growth rates 
(including terminal growth rates) applied 
to the forecasts in light of market 
conditions in the current year and the 
impacts of COVID-19. These conditions 
increase the both the possibility of 
goodwill being impaired, as well as the 
risk of inaccurate forecasts or a wider 
range of outcomes. We focused on the 
Group’s business model when assessing 
the feasibility of the Group’s forecast 
cashflows. 

  discount rates, as they can be complex in 

nature and vary according to the 
conditions and environment in which the 
Cash Generating Unit (CGU’s) operate. 
The Group operates in various industries 

Working with our valuation specialists, our 
procedures included: 

  We considered the appropriateness of the 

value-in-use method applied by the Group to 
perform its annual impairment testing of 
intangibles against the requirements of the 
relevant accounting standards.  

  We assessed the integrity of the value in use 
models used, including the accuracy of the 
underlying calculation formulas.   

  We inquired with management to understand 
the impact of COVID-19 to the Group, the 
impact to the FY21 results, and implications 
for forecasting. 

  We compared the forecast cash flows and 

capital expenditure contained in the value in 
use models to Board approved 2022 forecasts. 
For subsequent years, we have compared 
growth rates applied to historical results and 
management’s plans for the business. 

  We challenged the Group’s forecast cash flow 
and growth assumptions in light of market 
conditions. We assessed key assumptions 
such as what the Group considers as its future 

71 

 
 
 
 
 
business model. We used our knowledge of 
the Group, business and customers, and our 
industry experience. We sourced authoritative 
and credible inputs from our specialists. 

  We assessed the Group’s underlying 

methodology and documentation for the 
allocation of corporate costs to the forecast 
cash flows in the value in use model, for 
consistency with our understanding of the 
business and the criteria in the accounting 
standards. 

  We assessed the Group’s determination of its 
CGUs based on our understanding of the 
operations of the Group’s business, including 
how independent cash inflows are generated, 
against the requirements of the accounting 
standards. 

  We considered the sensitivity of the models 
by varying key assumptions, such as the 
Group’s forecast growth rates, terminal 
growth rates and discount rates, within a 
reasonably possible range. We considered the 
interdependencies of key assumptions when 
performing the sensitivity analysis and what 
the Group consider to be reasonably possible. 
We did this to identify those CGUs at higher 
risk of impairment and to focus our further 
procedures.    

  We assessed the disclosures in the financial 
report using our understanding obtained from 
our testing against the requirements of the 
accounting standards. 

and is therefore subject to different 
discount rates for each CGU. This drives 
additional audit effort in challenging the 
assumptions used by the Group in 
determining the discount rate for each 
CGU. We involved our valuations 
specialist with the assessment.  

the models’ sensitivity to assumptions 
adopted by the Group, including forecast 
growth rates and terminal growth rates 
applied to each identified CGU. Such 
assumptions have a significant impact on 
the recoverable amount of the assets 
within the identified CGUs. This drives 
additional audit effort specific to their 
feasibility and consistency of application 
to the Group’s strategy. 

In addition to the above:  

  The Group has a large number of 

operating businesses necessitating our 
consideration of the Group’s 
determination of CGUs, based on the 
smallest group of assets to generate 
largely independent cash inflows. 

  The Group uses complex models to 

perform its annual impairment testing of 
goodwill. The models are largely manually 
prepared and use a range of internal and 
external sources as inputs to the 
assumptions. Complex modelling, 
particularly those containing highly 
judgemental forward-looking assumptions 
tend to be prone to greater risk of 
potential bias, error and inconsistent 
application. Such conditions necessitate 
additional scrutiny by us, in particular to 
address the objectivity of sources used to 
derive assumptions, and their consistent 
application. 

72 

 
 
Business combinations 

Refer to note 34 of the Financial Report

The key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

During the year, the Group acquired two 
businesses, Automation Group Investments Pty 
Limited and its controlled entities and 
Teaminvest Pty Ltd and related entities.  

Accounting for the acquisition of a business can 
be complex and accounting standards require 
the Group to identify all assets and liabilities of 
the newly acquired businesses and estimate 
the fair value of each item. 

We determined that the acquisitions were a key 
audit matter because of the size of the 
transactions and the high level of judgment 
used by the Group in determining: 

  consideration payable for the acquisition 
including the fair value of the contingent 
consideration; 

the identification of acquired intangible 
assets; 

the assumptions and estimates used when 
performing intangible assets valuations, 
including estimated future cash flows, 
growth rates and discount rates;  

in respect of the Teaminvest Pty Ltd 
acquisition a bargain purchase gain of 
$3.8m; and 

  appropriate disclosure in the financial 

statements. 

Management used external experts to assist 
with the identification and valuation of the 
intangible assets acquired. 

Our procedures included: 

  We obtained an understanding of the 

acquisitions during the year through reading the 
transaction documents related to the acquisitions 
to understand the structure, key terms and 
conditions; 

  We considered the appropriateness of the 

business combination performed by the Group 
against the requirements of AASB 3 Business 
Combinations; 

  We worked with our valuation specialists to 

assess and challenge key assumptions used in 
the Group’s external valuation of acquired 
intangible assets by: 

o 

o 

o 

assessing the scope, objectivity and 
competency of the independent valuer 
engaged by the Group; 
comparing key assumptions, such as growth 
rates, membership and customer churn, 
discount rates and costs assumptions, used 
by the Group’s independent valuer against 
historical performance and external 
evidence; and 
challenging the Group’s independent 
valuer’s approach and methodology to 
valuing their assets by comparing to the 
requirements of the accounting standards. 

  We considered the sensitivity of the external 
valuation by varying key assumptions, such as 
the Group’s forecast growth rates, membership 
and customer churn rates, discount rates and 
costs assumptions, within a reasonably possible 
range. We considered the interdependencies of 
key assumptions when performing the sensitivity 
analysis and what the Group consider to be 
reasonably possible; 

  We audited the opening balance sheet of the 

businesses acquired as at acquisition dates; and 

73 

 
 
 
 
 
  We assessed the disclosures in the financial 

report using our understanding obtained from our 
testing and against the requirements of the  
accounting standards. 

Other Information 

Other Information is financial and non-financial information in Teaminvest Private Group Limited’s annual 
reporting which is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The Directors are 
responsible for the Other Information. 

Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, we do not 
express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the 
Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion. 

In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. In 
doing so, we 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. 

We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information, 
and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior to the date of 
this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report. 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The Directors are responsible for: 

  preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting 

Standards and the Corporations Act 2001: 

implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that gives a 
true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error: and 

  assessing the Group and Company's ability to continue as a going concern and whether the use of the 

going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters 
related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to 
liquidate the Group and Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

74 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report 

Our objective is:  

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 Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. 

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They 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 the Financial Report. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report is located at the Auditing 
and Assurance Standards Board website at: 
https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf. This description forms part of our
