changes in those activities during the year.

Tubi Group Annual Report 2019

Directors’ Report

Review of Operations

2019 Highlights

Highlights for the 2019 financial year include:

 > revenues of $31.56 million (2018: $17.38 million);

 > profit after tax attributable to Group shareholders  

was $1.50 million (2018: $0.52 million);

 > EBITDA of $3.15 million (2018: $1.90 million)1;

The Group continued to manufacture “HDPE” pipe from 
its mobile extrusion Plant based in the Permian Basin, 
United States. 

Additional capital raising activities were undertaken 
during the year which raised $13.2 million (includes the 
conversion of related party loans less capital raising 
costs) and allowed the Group to fund its new Plant 
growth strategy. 

On the 4 December 2018, the Group entered a second 
Manufacturing and Supply contract with MPS Enterprises, 
Inc. The second US mobile extrusion Plant is expected  
to be commissioned and on-site late September 2019  
to commence production.

The Group entered into an Equipment Purchase 
Agreement with Iplex Pipelines NZ Limited (“IPLEX”) on 
21 December 2018 (“Equipment Purchase Agreement’). 
Under the Equipment Purchase Agreement Tubi agreed to 
supply equipment including a Mobile Plant to IPLEX, which  
it is currently building and assembling. The purchase price 
is NZD$9,908,000. Milestone payment 1 – 40% of the 
purchase price, was received in December 2018. Milestone 
payment 2 is 50% of the purchase price and is due on 
delivery of the Mobile Plant to the IPLEX site. Milestone 3  
is 10% of the purchase price on IPLEX accepting that the 
Mobile Plant is working in accordance with the 
specifications. 

Current Year Financial Performance 

In the 12 months to 30 June 2019, the Group generated 
operating revenues from the sale of HDPE pipe of 
$31.56 million an increase of $14.18 million (81.6% increase 
over the FY18 year). The increase in revenue was due to a 
full year’s production in the United States, compared to 9 
months in 2018 (relocation of the Plant from New Zealand 
to the United States) and a higher average sales price per 
kilogram experienced in the US market for the current year.

The Gross Profit margin for 2019 was in line with 2018. 
Gross Profit achieved was $5.66 million (17.9% of 
revenue) in the current year compared to $3.11 million 
(17.9% of revenue) in the previous year. 

Employee costs increased $0.37 million with the 
strengthening of management team. Other Operating 
costs increased by $1.10 million (122%) as a result of 
listing expenses of $0.95 million, legal responses to suitor 
interest pre IPO $0.1 million and audit fees of $0.1 million 
(includes 2019 and prior year audits required for listing). 
Depreciation and amortisation costs increased by 
$0.30 million due to the purchase and full year depreciation 
of equipment purchased for US production. 

The Group net profit after tax for the year was 
$1.50 million compared to a profit of $0.52 million  
in the previous year.

Financial Position at 30 June 2019

The Group’s net assets were $21.63 million representing 
net tangible assets per share of $0.09 (June 2018: $0.04). 

Major current assets included cash of $7.61 million and 
other current assets of $5.24 million (mainly comprising 
trade receivables and inventories). Non-current assets 
increased by $8.48 million on the previous year largely 
due to the work in progress on the development of  
new plants. 

Current liabilities (excluding borrowings) increased by 
$3.24 million mainly due to an increase in trade payables 
resulting from a $3.8 million deposit payment from IPLEX. 
Borrowings reduced by $2.71 million due to the conversion 
of $2.63 million of related party loans to ordinary shares 
prior to Listing. 

Significant changes in the state of affairs 

During the year, the following changes occurred within 
the Group: 

1.  On 14 June 2019, the Group completed an Initial 

Public Offering (“IPO”) with its shares commencing 
trading on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) 
on that date.

2.  Issues of share capital: 

  On 8 February 2019 the Company raised an additional 
$1,259,153 by the issue of 208,469 fully paid ordinary 
shares at a share price of $6.04 per share. 

1. 

“EBITDA” is a non-statutory financial measures which are not prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards (“AAS”). EBITDA represents the 
profit under AAS adjusted for interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation.

  On 29 April 2019 the Company:

Risk management 

a)  Undertook a 1:30 share split where every  

one (1) share held in the capital of the Company 
converted to thirty (30) shares held in 
the Company;

b)  converted shareholder loans to the sum of 

$2,628,484 to 13,142,400 fully paid ordinary 
shares in the capital of the Company at an issue 
price of $0.20; and 

c)  raised $10 million via the issue of 50,000,000  

fully paid shares at $0.20. 

The nature of the Group’s business exposes it to certain 
risks. These risks are actively monitored and managed  
by the Company’s Board Audit Committee who assists 
the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to the 
oversight of the Tubi Group’s risk profile. During the 
period, the Tubi Board reviewed and updated its risk 
profile prior to Listing. Key risks were documented in  
the Prospectus and have not changed since Listing.  
The Company’s Board concluded that the material risks 
to which Tubi Group is exposed remain consistent with 
those identified in the Prospectus.

Likely developments, business  
strategies and prospects

The Group continues to focus on executing its strategy 
outlined in its prospectus issued on 17 May 2019. 

The commissioning of the new plant for IPLEX in  
New Zealand and the second plant for the US are on 
schedule and the third and fourth plants are tracking to 
commissioning timelines. A number of conversations  
in respect of contracts for supply from the 3rd and  
4th Mobile Plants are occurring, which are under 
construction. 

Dividends

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

Subsequent Events

There have been no matters or events that have occurred 
subsequent to 30 June 2019 that have significantly 
affected or may significantly affect the operations of the 
Group, the results of those operations or the state of 
affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years. 

Key priorities for the next twelve months include:

Options

 > Scaling resources to enable the effective production 

from one Mobile Plant to 4 Mobile Plants. This includes 
hiring strong sales capability, production leaders and 
plant operators.

As at the date of this report, the Group had 4,500,000 
options on issue to Jeffrey Shorter. These options have 
an exercise price of $0.20 per option and an expiry date 
of 30 April 2024.

 > Building raw material supplier relationships in the USA 
during our growth phase. Recent volatility in pricing 
makes it critical that strong raw material supplier 
relationships are maintained to optimise profit 
spreads. 

 > Building plant maintenance and generator capability. 

Sourcing quality technical people and service 
providers is difficult in remote locations. 

Tenure Restricted Stock Units

The Company also has 1,500,000 Tenure Restricted Stock 
Units (TRSUs) on issue to Jeffrey Shorter. The TRSUs vest 
annually from 30 August 2020 in three equal tranches 
with the only vesting condition being that Mr. Shorter 
remains an employee on the vesting date. TRSUs 
automatically convert to one ordinary share each  
on satisfaction of the vesting conditions.

Environmental Issues

The Group’s operations are subject to local, state and 
federal environmental legislation and regulations in the 
jurisdictions in which it operates. The Board are responsible 
for the regular monitoring of environmental exposure and 
compliance with environmental regulations and are  
not aware of any breaches of these regulations during  
the year.

& Assurance Limited Partnership (external auditor to  
the Group) have provided other services in addition  
to the statutory audits, as disclosed in Note 27 of the

The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit 
services provided by the auditor are compatible with the 
general standard of independence for auditors imposed 
by the Corporations Act 2001. The Directors are satisfied 
that these non-audit services 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 
issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical 
Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the 
auditor’s own work, acting in a management of 
decision-making capacity for the Group, acting as 
advocate for the Group or jointly sharing economic 
risks and rewards. 

Indemnification & Insurance  
of Directors & Officers

The Group has entered into deeds of indemnity, access 
and insurance with each Director. Under these deeds,  
the Group has agreed to indemnify, to the extent 
permitted by the Corporations Act, each Director in 
respect of certain liabilities which the Director may incur 
as a result of, or by reason of (whether solely or in part), 
being or acting as an officer of the Group. These liabilities 
include losses or liabilities incurred by the Director to  
any other person as an officer of the Group, including 
legal expenses. 

The Group has also agreed to maintain in favour of each 
officer a directors’ and officers’ policy of insurance for the 
period that they are officers and for seven years after they 
cease to act as officers.

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 Group, or to intervene in any proceedings 
to which the Group is a party for the purpose of taking 
responsibility on behalf of the Group for all or part of 
those proceedings.

Auditor

PKF(NS) Audit & Assurance Limited Partnership 
continues in office in accordance with section 327  
of the Corporations Act 2001.

Introduction

Remuneration Framework

The remuneration report details the key management 
personnel (“KMP”) remuneration arrangements for the 
Group, in accordance with the requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001 and its regulations.

KMP are those persons having authority and 
responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the 
activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all 
Directors. The following persons of the Group were 
classified as KMP during the 2019 financial year and 
unless otherwise indicated, were classified as KMP  
for the entire year:

Michael Tilley 
Chairman & Non-Executive Director

Marcello Russo 
Executive Director Business Development & Founder

Jeffrey Shorter 
Chief Executive Officer (Tubi Limited)  
& Executive Chairman (Tubi USA) 
(Appointed 29 April 2019)

Anthony Willsallen  
Non-Executive Director 

Craig Lawn 
Independent Non-Executive Director

Brent Emmett 
Independent Non-Executive Director  
(Appointed 29 April 2019)

Brian Vowels 
Independent Non-Executive Director  
(Resigned 29 April 2019)

The remuneration framework of the Group has been 
designed to align KMP objectives with shareholder and 
business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration 
component and offering specific long term incentives 
based on key performance areas affecting the Group’s 
financial results. The Board believes the remuneration 
policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to 
attract and retain the best key management personnel  
to run and manage the Group, as well as create goal 
congruence between directors, executives 
and shareholders.

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and 
amount of remuneration for key management personnel 
of the Group is as follows:

 > The remuneration policy has been developed by  

the Remuneration Committee and approved by the 
Board following professional advice from independent 
external consultants.

 > All key management personnel receive a base salary 
(which is based on factors such as length of service 
and experience), superannuation, fringe benefits,  
and performance incentives.

 > Performance incentives are based on predetermined 

key performance indicators.

 > Incentives paid in the form of options or rights are 
intended to align the interests of the KMP and the 
Group with those of the shareholders. In this regard, 
key management personnel are prohibited from 
limiting risk attached to those instruments by use  
of derivatives or other means.

Ian Coates 
Company Secretary & Chief Financial Officer

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

 > The Remuneration Committee reviews key 

management personnel packages annually by 
reference to the Group’s performance, executive 
performance and comparable information from 
industry sectors.

 > Remuneration Framework

 > Equity Incentive Plans

 > Service Agreements

 > Details of Remuneration

 > Share-Based Compensation

 > Additional Disclosures Relating  

to Key Management Personnel

The performance of KMP is measured against criteria 
agreed annually with each executive and is based 
predominantly on the forecast growth of the Group’s 
profits and shareholders’ value. All bonuses and 
incentives must be linked to predetermined performance 
criteria. The Board may, however, exercise its discretion 
in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options, 
and can recommend changes to the Committee’s 
recommendations. Any changes must be justified by 
reference to measurable performance criteria. The policy 
is designed to attract the highest calibre of executives 
and reward them for performance that results in long 
term growth in shareholder wealth.

Tubi Group Annual Report 2019

Directors’ Report
Remuneration Report (Audited)

Key management personnel receive a superannuation 
guarantee contribution required by the law, which is 
currently 9.5%, and do not receive any other retirement 
benefits. Some individuals, however, may choose to 
sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments 
towards superannuation.

Upon retirement, key management personnel are paid 
employee benefit entitlements accrued to the date of 
retirement. 

All remuneration paid to KMP is valued at the cost to  
the Group and expensed. 

The Board’s policy is to remunerate non executive 
directors at market rates for time, commitment and 
responsibilities. The Remuneration Committee determines 
payments to the non executive directors and reviews their 
remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties 
and accountability. Independent external advice is sought 
when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees 
that can be paid to non executive directors is subject to 
approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. 
The current maximum is $750,000.

Certain KMP are also entitled to long-term incentives 
(“LTIs”) in the form of share-based compensation to 
further align their interests with shareholders’ interests. 
Details regarding share-based compensation is set 
out below.

Key management personnel who are subject to these 
arrangements are subject to a policy governing the use  
of external hedging arrangements. Such personnel are 
prohibited from entering into hedge arrangements,  
i.e. put options, on unvested shares and options which 
form part of their remuneration package. Terms of 
employment signed by such personnel contain details  
of such restrictions.

Equity Incentive Plans

Australian Long-Term Incentive Plan

The Group has adopted an employee incentive plan 
known as the Tubi Limited Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTI 
Plan”), to assist in the reward, retention and motivation  
of the Group’s Directors, senior management, and other 
employees. The LTI Plan is intended to assist with 
aligning the interests of participants with shareholders  
by providing an opportunity for Eligible Participants to 
earn equity interests in the Company.

Under the rules of the LTI Plan, the Board has discretion 
to offer:

 > a full-time or part-time employee of any Group 

Company or a Director Options to acquire shares 
and/or Performance Rights to acquire Shares; and

 > any other person who is declared by the Board in  
its sole and absolute discretion to be eligible to 
receive grants of Options to acquire shares and/or 
Performance Rights to acquire Shares inclusive  
of any Options, Performance Rights or similar 
instruments issued under any other incentive plan 
operated by the Company. 

(each recipient is an Eligible Employee and the above 
awards are collectively the Awards).

In each case the Awards can be made subject to vesting 
conditions and/or performance hurdles as determined  
by the Board.

The terms and conditions of the LTI Plan are set out  
in comprehensive rules. A summary of the rules of the  
LTI Plan is set out below:

 > The LTI Plan is open to Eligible Employees as 

determined by the Board. Participation is voluntary.

 > The Board may determine the type and number  

of Awards to be issued under the LTI Plan to each 
participant and other terms of issue of the Awards, 
including but not limited to:

•  what conditions and/or performance hurdles must 
be met by a participant in order for an Award to 
vest (if any);

• 

• 

• 

the amount payable to be paid by a participant  
on the grant of Awards (if any);

the exercise price of any option granted to 
a participant;

the period during which a vested option can  
be exercised; and

•  any forfeiture conditions or disposal restrictions 
applying to the Awards and any Shares that a 
participant receives upon exercise of their options 
or vesting of Performance Rights.

 > When any conditions and/or performance hurdles 
have been satisfied, their Options/Performance 
Rights will become vested and will be exercisable 
into Shares.

United States Share Incentive Plan

The Company has adopted an employee incentive  
plan known as the Tubi Limited Share Incentive Plan  
(“SI Plan”), to assist in the reward, retention and 
motivation of certain of the Group’s Directors, senior 
management, and other employees. The SI Plan is 
intended to assist with aligning the interests of 
participants with shareholders by providing an 
opportunity for eligible participants to earn equity 
interests in the Company.

Under the rules of the SI Plan, the Board has discretion 
to offer any person who is declared by the Board in  
its sole and absolute discretion to be eligible (Eligible 
Employee) to receive grants of options to acquire Shares 
and/or restricted stock units to acquire Shares (Awards).

In each case the Awards can be made subject to vesting 
conditions and/or performance hurdles as determined  
by the Board.

Board determines that there are circumstances that 
have occurred or are likely to occur which will result  
in significant changes to the structure or control of 
the Company which may adversely affect the value  
of the Awards. A “change of control” event does not 
include the listing of the Company on the ASX. 

 > If a participant becomes a “bad leaver”: 

•  what conditions and/or performance hurdles must 
be met by a participant in order for an Award to

applying to the Awards and any Shares that a 
participant receives upon exercise of their options 
or vesting of restricted stock units.

 > When any conditions and/or performance hurdles 
have been satisfied, their options/restricted stock 
units will become vested and will be exercisable 
into Shares.

 > Each vested option and restricted stock unit enables 
the participant to be issued or to be transferred one 
Share upon exercise or vesting (as applicable), 
subject to the rules governing the SI Plan and the 
terms of any particular offer.

 > Participants holding options or restricted stock

shares, unless the Board in its sole and absolute 
discretion determines otherwise; and

•  all unvested Awards will automatically be forfeited

Company to the participant of nominal 
consideration. 

A participant will be a “bad leaver” if the participant

condition and performance hurdles are not satisfied by the third and final tranche, all PRSUs 
will automatically lapse.

The Group’s accounting policy in respect of Revenue from contracts with customers has been aligned to the 
requirements of AASB 15 and this is detailed further in Note 3(d).

Tubi Group Annual Report 2019

Notes to the Financial Statements

3   Summary of Significant  
Accounting Policies 

(a)  Basis for consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements include the 
financial position and performance of controlled entities 
from the date on which control is obtained until the date 
that control is lost. 

Intragroup assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses 
and cashflows relating to transactions between entities  
in the consolidated entity have been eliminated in full for 
the purpose of these financial statements.

Appropriate adjustments have been made to a controlled 
entity’s financial position, performance and cash flows 
where the accounting policies used by that entity were 
different from those adopted by the consolidated entity. 
All controlled entities have a June financial year end.

A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 28 to  
the financial statements.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the parent has 
control. Control is established when the parent 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 relevant 
activities of the entity.

(b)  Income Tax 

The tax expense recognised in the consolidated 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income comprises current income tax expense plus 
deferred tax expense.

Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable 
(recoverable) in respect of the taxable profit (loss) for  
the year and is measured at the amount expected to  
be paid to (recovered from) the taxation authorities,  
using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted  
or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting 
period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are measured at  
the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from)  
the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences which 
are determined by comparing the carrying amounts of  
tax bases of assets and liabilities to the carrying amounts 
in the consolidated financial statements. 

Deferred tax is not provided for the following:

 > The initial recognition of an asset or liability in a 

transaction that is not a business combination and at 
the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting 
profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).

 > Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial 

recognition of goodwill. 

 > Temporary differences related to investment in 

subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities 
to the extent that the Group is able to control the 
timing of the reversal of the temporary differences  
and it is probable that they will not reverse in the 
foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the  
tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when 
the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on  
tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or 
substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

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

Current and deferred tax is recognised as income or  
an expense and included in profit or loss for the period 
except where the tax arises from a transaction which is 
recognised in other comprehensive income or equity, in 
which case the tax is recognised in other comprehensive 
income or equity respectively.

(c)  Leases 

Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks 
and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but 
not the legal ownership that are transferred to entities in 
the Group, are classified as finance leases.

Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset  
and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair 
value of the leased property or the present value of the 
minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed 
residual values. Lease payments are allocated between 
the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest 
expense for the period.

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially 
all of the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are 
charged as expenses on a straight line basis over the life 
of the lease term. 

Notes to the Financial Statements

tubigroup.com

33

Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised 
as a liability and amortised on a straight line basis over 
the life of the lease term.

Other income 

Other income is recognised on an accruals basis when 
the Group is entitled to it.

(d)  Revenue and other income 

For comparative year

Revenue is recognised when the amount of the revenue 
can be measured reliably, it is probable that economic 
benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the 
Group and specific criteria relating to the type of revenue  
as noted below, has been satisfied.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration 
received or receivable and is presented net of returns, 
discounts and rebates.

Sale of goods 

Revenue is recognised on transfer of goods to the 
customer as this is deemed to be the point in time when 
risks and rewards are transferred and there is no longer 
any ownership or effective control over the goods. 

Revenue from contracts with customers 

For current year

The core principle of AASB 15 is that revenue is recognised 
on a basis that reflects the transfer of promised goods  
or services to customers at an amount that reflects the 
consideration the Group expects to receive in exchange 
for those goods or services. Revenue is recognised by 
applying a five step model as follows:

1.  Identify the contract with the customer

2.  Identify the performance obligations

3.  Determine the transaction price

4.  Allocate the transaction price to the performance 

obligations

5.  Recognise revenue as and when control of the 

performance obligations is transferred

(e)  Borrowing costs 

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the 
acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying 
asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.

All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense 
in the period in which they are incurred.

(f)  Goods and services tax (GST) 

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the 
amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where  
the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the 
Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

Receivables and payable are stated inclusive of GST.

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

(g)  Inventories 

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net 
realisable value. Cost of inventory is determined using  
the first in first out basis and is net of any rebates and 
discounts received. Net realisable value is estimated 
using the most reliable evidence available at the reporting 
date and inventory is written down through an 
obsolescence provision if necessary.

(h)  Property, plant and equipment 

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

Plant and equipment 

Specific revenue streams 

Plant and equipment are measured using the cost model.

The principal revenue stream of the Group is the operation 
of Mobile Plants to manufacture High Density Polyethylene 
(HDPE) pipes for industrial projects. Revenue is recognised 
upon successful delivery of manufactured pipes under the 
terms of the contract over the project term, being the point 
at which the performance obligation has been met under 
the terms of the contract with customers.

34

Tubi Group Annual Report 2019

Notes to the Financial Statements

Depreciation 

Property, plant and equipment is depreciated on a 
straight line or reducing balance basis (as appropriate) 
over the assets useful life to the Group, commencing 
when the asset is ready for use.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable 
asset are shown below:

Fixed asset class

Depreciation rate

Capital Works in Progress

Plant and Equipment

Furniture, Fixtures and Fittings

Motor Vehicles

See below

10–20%

20%

25%

At the end of each annual reporting period, the 
depreciation method, useful life and residual value  
of each asset is reviewed. Any revisions are accounted  
for prospectively as a change in estimate.

Capital works in progress relate to the construction of 
new mobile manufacturing plants which once completed 
and commisioned as ready for use will be transferred to 
plant and equipment and depreciated in line with the 
respective rate above. 

(i)  Financial instruments 

For comparative year

Financial instruments are recognised initially using trade 
date accounting, i.e. on the date that the Group becomes 
party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

On initial recognition, all financial instruments are 
measured at fair value plus transaction costs (except for 
instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss 
where transaction costs are expensed as incurred).

Financial assets 

Financial assets are divided into the following categories 
which are described in detail below:

 > loans and receivables;

 > held to maturity investments.

Financial assets are assigned to the different categories 
on initial recognition, depending on the characteristics  
of the instrument and its purpose. A financial instrument’s 
category is relevant to the way it is measured and 
whether any resulting income and expenses are 
recognised in profit or loss or in other 
comprehensive income.

All income and expenses relating to financial assets are 
recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss  
and other comprehensive income in the ‘finance income’ 
or ‘finance costs’ line item respectively.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non derivative financial assets 
with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted 
in an active market. They arise principally through the 
provision of goods and services to customers but also 
incorporate other types of contractual monetary assets.

After initial recognition these are measured at amortised 
cost using the effective interest method, less provision  
for impairment. Any change in their value is recognised  
in profit or loss.

The Group’s trade and other receivables fall into this 
category of financial instruments.

Financial liabilities 

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial 
liabilities ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ or other 
financial liabilities depending on the purpose for which  
the liability was acquired. 

The Group‘s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade 
and other payables (including finance lease liabilities), 
which are measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest rate method.

Impairment of Financial Assets 

At the end of the reporting period the Group assesses 
whether there is any objective evidence that a financial 
asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

Financial assets at amortised cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss  
on financial assets carried at amortised cost has been 
incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the 
difference between the asset’s carrying amount and  
the present value of the estimated future cash flows 
discounted at the financial assets original effective 
interest rate.

Impairment on loans and receivables is reduced through 
the use of an allowance accounts, all other impairment 
losses on financial assets at amortised cost are taken 
directly to the asset. 

Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written  
off are credited against other expenses in profit or loss.

Notes to the Financial Statements

tubigroup.com

35

For current year

Impairment of financial assets 

Financial instruments are recognised initially on the  
date that the Group becomes party to the contractual 
provisions of the instrument.

On initial recognition, all financial instruments are 
measured at fair value plus transaction costs (except for 
instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss 
where transaction costs are expensed as incurred).

Financial assets 

All recognised financial assets are subsequently 
measured in their entirety at either amortised cost  
or fair value, depending on the classification of the 
financial assets.

Classification 

On initial recognition, the Group classifies its financial 
assets into the following categories, those measured at:

 > amortised cost

 > fair value through profit or loss FVTPL

Impairment of financial assets is recognised on an 
expected credit loss (ECL) basis for the following assets:

 > financial assets measured at amortised cost

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial 
assets has increased significant since initial recognition 
and when estimating ECL, the Group considers 
reasonable and supportable information that is relevant 
and available without undue cost or effort. This includes 
both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis 
based on the Group’s historical experience and informed 
credit assessment and including forward 
looking information.

The Group applies the simplified approach to providing 
for expected credit losses prescribed by AASB 9, which 
permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision.  
To measure the expected credit losses, financial assets 
have been grouped based on shared credit risk 
characteristics and the days past due. The loss allowance 
provision incorporate forward looking information.

 > fair value through other comprehensive income  

Trade receivables

equity instrument (FVOCI equity)

 > fair value through other comprehensive income  

debt investments (FVOCI debt)

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their 
initial recognition unless the Group changes its business 
model for managing financial assets.

Amortised cost

Assets measured at amortised cost are financial 
assets where:

 > the business model is to hold assets to collect 

contractual cash flows; and

 > the contractual terms give rise on specified dates  
to cash flows are solely payments of principal and 
interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The Group’s financial assets measured at amortised  
cost comprise trade and other receivables and cash  
and cash equivalents in the consolidated statement  
of financial position.

Subsequent to initial recognition, these assets are carried 
at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method 
less provision for impairment.

Interest income, foreign exchange gains or losses and 
impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Gain or loss  
on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment of trade receivableshave been determined 
using the simplified approach in AASB 9 which uses an 
estimation of lifetime expected credit losses. The Group 
has determined the probability of non payment of the 
receivable and multiplied this by the amount of the 
expected loss arising from default.

The amount of the impairment is recorded in a separate 
allowance account with the loss being recognised in 
finance expense. Once the receivable is determined to  
be uncollectable then the gross carrying amount is 
written off against the associated allowance.

Where the Group renegotiates the terms of trade 
receivables due from certain customers, the new 
expected cash flows are discounted at the original 
effective interest rate and any resulting difference to  
the carrying value is recognised in profit or loss.

Other financial assets measured at amortised cost

Impairment of other financial assets measured at 
amortised cost are determined using the expected credit 
loss model in AASB 9. On initial recognition of the asset, 
an estimate of the expected credit losses for the next  
12 months is recognised. Where the asset has experienced 
significant increase in credit risk then the lifetime losses 
are estimated and recognised.

Tubi Group Annual Report 2019

Notes to the Financial Statements

Financial liabilities 

(l)  Cash and cash equivalents 

The Group measures all financial liabilities initially at  
fair value less transaction costs, subsequently financial 
liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the 
effective interest rate method.

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, 
demand deposits and short term investments which are  
readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which 
are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

The financial liabilities of the Group comprise trade payables, 
bank and other loans and finance lease liabilities. 

(m)  Employee benefits 

(j)  Impairment of non financial assets 

At the end of each reporting period the Group determines 
whether there is an evidence of an impairment indicator  
for non financial assets.

Where an indicator exists and regardless for goodwill, 
indefinite life intangible assets and intangible assets not 
yet available for use, the recoverable amount of the asset 
is estimated.

Where assets do not operate independently of other 
assets, the recoverable amount of the relevant cash 
generating unit (CGU) is estimated.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the higher 
of the fair value less costs of disposal and the value in 
use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash 
flows expected to be derived from an asset or cash 
generating unit.

Where the recoverable amount is less than the carrying 
amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Reversal indicators are considered in subsequent periods 
for all assets which have suffered an impairment loss, 
except for goodwill.

(k)  Intangibles 

Patents and trademarks 

Patents and trademarks are recognised at cost of 
acquisition. Patents and trademarks have a finite life and 
are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation 
and any impairment losses. Patents and trademarks are 
amortised over their useful life of 20 years.

Amortisation 

Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight 
line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible 
assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are 
available for use.

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

Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee 
benefits arising from services rendered by employees to  
the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that 
are expected to be wholly settled within one year have 
been measured at the amounts expected to be paid 
when the liability is settled.

Employee benefits expected to be settled more than  
one year after the end of the reporting period have been 
measured at the present value of the estimated future cash 
outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the 
liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases 
and the probability that the employee may satisfy vesting 
requirements. Cashflows are discounted using market 
yields on high quality corporate bond rates incorporating 
bonds rated AAA or AA by credit agencies, with terms  
to maturity that match the expected timing of cashflows. 
Changes in the measurement of the liability are recognised 
in profit or loss.

(n)  Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal  
or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for 
which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits 
will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

Provisions recognised represent the best estimate  
of the amounts required to settle the obligation at  
the end of the reporting period.

(o)  Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing  
the profit attributable to owners of the company by  
the weighted average number of ordinary shares 
outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the 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 additional ordinary shares that would 
have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all 
dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Notes to the Financial Statements

tubigroup.com

37

(p)  Share capital 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental 
costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares 
and share options which vest immediately are recognised 
as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of 
monetary items or on translating monetary items at  
rates different from those at which they were translated 
on initial recognition or in prior reporting periods are 
recognised through profit or loss, except where they 
relate to an item of other comprehensive income.

(q)  Equity settled compensation 

The Group operates equity settled share based payment 
employee share and option schemes. The fair value of the 
equity to which employees become entitled is measured at 
grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting 
period, with a corresponding increase to an equity 
account. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the 
market bid price. The fair value of options is ascertained 
using a Black Scholes pricing model which incorporates all 
market vesting conditions. The amount to be expensed is 
determined by reference to the fair value of the options or 
shares granted, this expense takes in account any market 
performance conditions and the impact of any non vesting 
conditions but ignores the effect of any service and  
non market performance vesting conditions.

Non market vesting conditions are taken into account 
when considering the number of options expected to vest. 
At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its 
estimate of the number of options which are expected  
to vest based on the non market vesting conditions. 
Revisions to the prior period estimate are recognised  
in profit or loss and equity.

Group companies 

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

 > assets and liabilities are translated at year end 
exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;

 > income and expenses are translated at average 

exchange rates for the period where the average  
rate approximates the rate at the date of the 
transaction; and

 > retained earnings are translated at the exchange  
rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

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

(s)   Adoption of new and revised accounting 

(r)  Foreign currency transactions and balances 

standards 

The Group has adopted all standards which became 
effective for the first time at 30 June 2019, the adoption of 
these standards has not caused any material adjustments 
to the reported financial position, performance or cash 
flow of the Group or refer to Note 2 for details of the 
changes due to standards adopted.

Transaction and balances 

Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the spot 
rate on the date of the transaction.

 At the end of the reporting period:

 > Foreign currency monetary items are translated using 

the closing rate;

 > Non monetary items that are measured at historical 
cost are translated using the exchange rate at the 
date of the transaction; and

 > Non monetary items that are measured at fair value 
are translated using the rate at the date when fair 
value was determined.

Tubi Group Annual Report 2019

Notes to the Financial Statements

(t)  New Accounting Standards and Interpretations 

The AASB has issued new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application 
dates for future reporting periods. The Group has decided not to early adopt these Standards. The following table 
summarises those future requirements, and their impact on the Group where the standard is relevant:

Standard Name

AASB 16 
Leases

Effective date 
for entity

1 July 2019

Requirements

Impact

Whilst the impact of AASB 16  
has not yet been fully quantified, 
management has made a 
preliminary assessment of the 
impact and have determined that 
the effects of the Standard will 
not be material for the entity.

AASB 16 will cause the majority of leases  
of an entity to be brought onto the 
statement of financial position. There are 
limited exceptions relating to short term 
leases and low value assets which may 
remain off balance sheet.

The calculation of the lease liability will take 
into account appropriate discount rates, 
assumptions about lease term and 
increases in lease payments.

A corresponding right to use asset will  
be recognised which will be amortised  
over the term of the lease.

Rent expense will no longer be shown, the 
profit and loss impact of the leases will be 
through amortisation and interest charges.

4  Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments 

The directors make estimates and judgements during the preparation of these consolidated financial statements 
regarding assumptions about current and future events affecting transactions and balances.

These estimates and judgements are based on the best information available at the time of preparing the financial 
statements, however as additional information is known then the actual results may differ from the estimates.

The significant estimates and judgements made have been described below.

Key estimates impairment of property, plant and equipment 

The Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions specific to the Group 
that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value in 
use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions.

If such impairment indicators were to be triggered, management would perform such calculations incorporating the 
use of cash flow projections for plant and equipment incorporating growth rates factored into valuation models for the 
next five years on the basis of management’s expectations around the Group’s continued ability to capture market 
share from competitors. Cash flow growth rates would then also be determined for periods subsequent to the five year 
period to reflect historical industry averages. The rates would incorporate an allowance for inflation. Pre tax discount 
rates would be used in all models based on management’s assessment of market factors relevant to the Group’s 
business and industry.

Key estimates receivables 

The receivables at reporting date have been reviewed to determine whether there is any objective evidence that  
any of the receivables are impaired. An expected credit loss provision is included for any receivable where the entire 
balance is not considered collectible. Refer to Note 11(a) for further details on the determination of the expected credit 
loss provision.

9  Operating Segments 

Segment information 

Identification of reportable segments 

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by  
the Board of Directors (chief operating decision maker) in assessing performance and determining the allocation 
of resources.

The Group is managed primarily on the basis of product category and service offerings as the diversification of the 
Group’s operations inherently have notably different risk profiles and performance assessment criteria. Operating 
segments are therefore determined on the same basis.

Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered  
to have similar economic characteristics and are also similar with respect to the following:

 > the products sold and/or services provided by the segment;

 > the manufacturing process;

 > the type or class of customer for the products or services;

 > the distribution method; and

 > any external regulatory requirements.

Performance is measured based on segment profit before income tax as included in the internal financial reports.

The Group has one reportable segment, being the manufacturing of HDPE pipe and the sale of technology licenses  
to manufacture HDPE pipe.

The carrying value of trade receivables is considered a reasonable approximation of fair value due to the short term 
nature of the balances.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the fair value of each class of receivable in the 
financial statements.

(a)  Impairment of receivables 

The Group applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by AASB 9, which 
permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, 
trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The loss 
allowance provision as at 30 June 2019 is determined as follows, the expected credit losses incorporate forward 
looking information.

The Group determines the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss 
(ECL). The ECL on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience  
of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for factors that are specific to the 
debtors, general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the 
current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date. 

Based on the the Group’s historical experience and assessment of these factors, no loss allowance has been required 
for the year. 

The Group writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty 
and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation or has entered 
into bankruptcy proceedings.

Trade and other payables are unsecured, non interest bearing and are normally settled within 30 days. The carrying 
value of trade and other payables is considered a reasonable approximation of fair value due to the short term nature 
of the balances.

Deposits relate to payments received in advance for the commissioning of mobile manufacturing plants under the 
terms of agreed contracts with customers. These plants are currently under construction and included as capital 
works in progress in Property, plant and equipment refer to Note 13.

The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the 
Company. On a show of hands at meetings of the Company, each holder of ordinary shares has one vote in person  
or by proxy, and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote.

The Company does not have authorised capital or par value in respect of its shares.

(b)  Capital Management 

The key objectives of the Group when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern  
and maintain optimal benefits to stakeholders. The Group defines capital as its equity and net debt.

There has been no change to capital risk management policies during the year.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes funding decisions based on the prevailing economic 
environment and has a number of tools available to manage capital risk. These include maintaining a diversified debt 
portfolio, the ability to adjust the size and timing of dividends paid to shareholders and the issue of new shares.

The Board monitors a range of financial metrics including return on capital employed and gearing ratios. 

20  Reserves 

(a)  Foreign currency translation reserve 

Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign controlled entity are recognised in other comprehensive 
income foreign currency translation reserve. The cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss when the net 
investment is disposed of.

(b)  Share based payments reserve 

This reserve records the cumulative value of employee service received for the issue of share options. When the option 
is exercised the amount in the share option reserve is transferred to share capital.

The Group has not restated comparatives when initially applying AASB 9, the comparative information has been 
prepared under AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

Objectives, policies and processes 

The Board of Directors have overall responsibility for the establishment of the Group’s financial risk management 
framework. This includes the development of policies covering specific areas such as foreign exchange risk, interest 
rate risk, credit risk and the use of derivatives.

Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the 
Group’s activities.

The day to day risk management is carried out by the Group’s finance function under policies and objectives which 
have been approved by the Board of Directors. The Chief Financial Officer has been delegated the authority for 
designing and implementing processes which follow the objectives and policies. This includes monitoring the levels  
of exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk and assessment of market forecasts for interest rate and 
foreign exchange movements.

The Board of Directors receives monthly reports which provide details of the effectiveness of the processes and 
policies in place.

Mitigation strategies for specific risks faced are described below:

Credit risk 

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss  
to the Group.

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and 
financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding receivables 
and committed transactions.

The credit risk for liquid funds and other short term financial assets is considered negligible, since the counterparties 
are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings.

52

Tubi Group Annual Report 2019

Notes to the Financial Statements

Trade receivables

Trade receivables consist of a small number of customers, spread across similar industries and geographical areas. 
Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts receivable.

The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of 
financial loss from defaults. The risk management committee has established a credit policy under which each new 
customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Group’s standard payment and delivery terms and 
conditions are offered. The Group review includes external ratings, if they are available, financial statements, credit 
agency information and industry information. Credit limits are established for each customer and the utilisation of credit 
limits by customers is regularly monitored by line management. Customers who subsequently fail to meet their credit 
terms are required to make purchases on a prepayment basis until creditworthiness can be re established.

The Board receives monthly reports summarising the turnover, trade receivables balance and aging profile of each  
of the key customers individually and the Group’s other customers analysed by industry sector as well as a list of 
customers currently transacting on a prepayment basis or who have balances in excess of their credit limits.

The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, 
management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default 
risk associated with the industry and country in which the customers operate.

Management considers that all the financial assets that are not impaired for each of the reporting dates under review 
are of good credit quality, including those that are past due.

The Group is currently dependent on the credit worthiness of two key customers. In the event that either counterparty 
were to fall into bankruptcy, fail financially or otherwise default on its payment obligations to the Group, the Group may 
be exposed to significant financial loss both from a failure of that counterparty to pay amounts owing to the Group for 
product or plant supplied, and from the failure of that party’s ability to meet its contractual obligations to the Group.

On a geographical basis, the Group has significant credit risk exposures in Australia, New Zealand and USA given  
the location of its operations in those regions.

The following table details the Group’s trade and other receivables exposure to credit risk (prior to collateral and  
other credit enhancements) with ageing analysis and impairment provided for thereon. Amounts are considered  
as ‘past due’ when the debt has not been settled, within the terms and conditions agreed between the Group and  
the customer or counter party to the transaction. Receivables that are past due are assessed for impairment by 
ascertaining solvency of the debtors and are provided for where there is objective evidence indicating that the debt 
may not be fully repaid to the Group.

The Group does not hold any financial assets with terms that have been renegotiated, but which would otherwise  
be past due or impaired.

The other classes of receivables do not contain impaired assets.

Market risk 

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes 
in market prices.

(i)  Foreign exchange risk

Exposure to foreign exchange risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating 
due to movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the Group holds financial instruments which are 
other than the AUD functional currency of the Group.

Exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the Group’s overseas sales and purchases, which are primarily 
denominated in US Dollars (USD) and New Zealnd Dollars (NZD). 

To mitigate the Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk, non Australian Dollar cash flows are monitored. The Group 
aims to hold sufficient cash and cash equivalents in these respective currencies to enable it to carry out its operations 
and settle amounts primarily in the currency in which the overseas sales and purchases take place. 

Therefore, the Group‘s risk management procedures distinguish short term foreign currency cash flows (due within  
6 months) from longer term cash flows. Where the amounts to be paid and received in a specific currency are 
expected to largely offset one another, no further hedging activity is undertaken.

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of the net result for the year and equity in regards to the Group‘s financial 
assets and financial liabilities and the US Dollar – Australian Dollar exchange rate and New Zealand Dollar – Australian 
Dollar exchange rate. There have been no changes in the assumptions calculating this sensitivity from prior years.

It assumes a +/ 5% change of the Australian Dollar/USD exchange rate for the year ended 30 June 2019 
(30 June 2018: 5%). A +/ 5% change is considered for the Australian Dollar/NZD exchange rate (30 June 2018: 5%). 
Both of these percentages have been determined based on the average market volatility in exchange rates in the 
previous 12 months. 

The year end rate is 0.7013 for USD and 1.0424 for NZD.

The sensitivity analysis is based on the foreign currency financial instruments held at the reporting date and also takes 
into account forward exchange contracts that offset effects from changes in currency exchange rates.

If the Australian Dollar had strengthened and weakened against the USD and NZD by 5% ((30 June 2018: 5%) and  
5% ((30 June 2018: 5%) respectively then this would have had the following impact:

Exposures to foreign exchange rates vary during the year depending on the volume of overseas transactions. 
Nonetheless, the analysis above is considered to be representative of the Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk.

The principal activities of both subsidiaries during the year was the development, operation, leasing and sale of mobile 
manufacturing plants for the production of high density polyethylene (“HDPE”) pipes for use in the oil and gas, 
irrigation, mining and infrastructure sectors. 

29  Contingencies 

On 14 August 2019 the Company identified that a production run of HDPE Pipe in April 2019 may not have met  
the customer specifications. The batch in question has already been paid for in full by the customer. At the date of the 
report, the Company is currently investigating the extent of the defective product with further Quality Assurance testing 
being performed in conjunction with the customer. This is an isolated incident being the only time that the Company 
has made pipe in this specification. The Company remains confident that the pipe manufactured remains saleable  
in part under the original order and in part under a different specification. At this stage the potential liability cannot  
be measured reliably due to uncertainty over the actual quantity and replacement cost involved.

TO THE MEMBERS OF TUBI LIMITED 

Report on the Financial Report 

Opinion 
We  have  audited  the  accompanying  financial  report  of  Tubi  Limited  (the  company),  which  comprises  the 
consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the consolidated statement of profit or loss 
and  other  comprehensive  income,  the  consolidated  statement  of  changes  in  equity  and  the  consolidated 
statement  of  cash  flows  for  the  year  then  ended,  notes  comprising  a  summary  of  significant  accounting

consolidated  entity comprising  the company and  the entities  it controlled at  the  yearʼs end  or from time to 
time during the financial year. 

In  our  opinion,  the  financial  report  of  Tubi  Limited  is  in  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001,
including: 

a) Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entityʼs financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of

its performance for the year ended on that date; and

b) Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for Opinion 
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we 
comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to 
obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  report  is  free  from  material  misstatement.  Our 
responsibilities  under  those  standards  are  further  described  in  the  Auditorʼs  Responsibility  section  of  our 
report.  

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

Independence 
We are independent of the consolidated entity in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical 
requirements  of  the  Accounting  Professional  and  Ethical  Standards  Boardʼs  APES  110  Code  of  Ethics  for

Key Audit Matters 
Key  audit  matters  are  those  matters  that,  in  our  professional  judgement,  were  of  most  significance  in  our 
audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit 
of  the  financial  report  as  a  whole,  and  in  forming  our  opinion  thereon,  and  we  do  not  provide  a  separate 
opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is 
provided in that context. 

1. Capital Works in Progress

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

As  disclosed  in  note  13,  the  Group  has 
capital  works  in  progress  of  $8,453,616 
as at 30 June 2019. 

This  related  to  the  construction  of  four

and 

The carrying value of capital expenditure 
relating to the capital works in progress is 
therefore considered a key audit matter. 

Our audit procedures included but were not limited to: 

•

•

•

reviewing  the  construction  project  plans  relating  to  the  mobile
manufacturing  plants  along  with  any  key  assumptions/  judgments
made by management. Discussions with key personnel responsible
for overseeing the projects;

testing  and  vouching  a  sample  of  capital  works  in  progress
additions  to  supporting  purchase  invoices  and  tracing  to  bank
payment or supplier ledger balance as appropriate;

testing  and  vouching  a  sample  of  labour  costs  charged  to  the
projects for validity, including review of rationale around calculations
and allocation;

• assessing expenditure in line with the construction project plans to
confirm  legitimacy  of  capital  expenses  allocated  to  each  plant
project;

• assessing  current  progress  of  construction  project  plans 

to
determine  their  continued  viability  and  tracking  to  budget.  This
includes reviewing progress reports to management and the Board
and related minutes of meetings;

•

verifying  physical  existence  of  the  capitalised  components  of  the
new plant through physical site visits or date stamped photographs;

Based  on  those  procedures  performed,  we  were  satisfied  with  the 
material accuracy of the capital works in progress.

Other Information 
Other  information  is  financial  and  non-financial  information  in  the  annual  report  of  the  company  which  is 
provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditorʼs Report. The directors are responsible for Other 
Information in the annual report. 

The Other Information we obtained prior to the date of this Auditorʼs Report was the Directorʼs Report. The 
remaining Other Information is expected to be made available to us after the date of the Auditorʼs Report. 

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

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 in 
the Financial Report and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained 
prior to the date of this Auditorʼs Report we have nothing to report. 

Directorsʼ Responsibilities for the Financial Report 
The Directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and 
fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such 
internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that 
gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.  In Note 1, 
the  Directors  also  state,  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standard  AASB  101  Presentation  of 
Financial Statements, that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards. 

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

Auditorʼs Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit.  Our objectives are to 
obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  report  as  a  whole  is  free  from  material 
misstatement,  whether  due  to  fraud  or  error,  and  to  issue  and  auditorʼs  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 and are considered material if, individual or in aggregate, they 
could  reasonably  be  expected  to  influence  the  economic  decisions  of  users  taken  on  the  basis  of  this 
financial report. 

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

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the 
financial report. 

66

Tubi Group Annual Report 2019

Independent Audit Report to the Members of Tubi Limited

The procedures selected depend on the auditorʼs judgement, including assessment of the risks of material 
misstatement of the financial report,  whether due to fraud  or error. In making those risk assessments, the 
auditor considers internal control relevant to the entityʼs preparation of the financial report that gives a true 
and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the 
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entityʼs internal control.  

The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from 
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,  or the override  of 
internal control. 

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness 
of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial 
report. 

We  conclude  on  the  appropriateness  of  the  Directorsʼ  use  of  the  going  concern  basis  of  accounting  and, 
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions 
that  may  cast  significant  doubt  on  the  consolidated  entityʼs  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern.  If  we 
conclude that a material  uncertainty  exists,  we are required to  draw attention in  our auditorʼs report to the 
related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our 
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditorʼs report. However, future 
events or conditions may cause the consolidated entity to cease to continue as a going concern. 

We evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, 
and  whether  the  financial  report  represents  the  underlying  transactions  and  events  in  a  manner  that 
achieves fair presentation. 

We obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business 
activities within the consolidated entity to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for 
the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.  

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

The  Auditing  Standards  require  that  we  comply  with  relevant  ethical  requirements  relating  to  audit 
engagements. We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical 
requirements  regarding  independence,  and  to  communicate  with  them  all  relationships  and  other  matters 
that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.  

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

Report on the Remuneration Report

Opinion 
We  have  audited  the  Remuneration  Report  included  in  the  directorsʼ  report  for  the  year  ended  30  June 
2019. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Tubi Limited for the year ended 30 June 2019, complies 
with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
