Chairman's Letter

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of the Board of TPC Consolidated Limited, I am pleased to present the Annual Report for the financial year
ending 30 June 2019.

the business strategy has enabled us to deliver a financial result

Throughout the past year, we focused on delivering improving business efficiencies through high energy prices in the
energy market, especially in Victoria. Our aim is to be more reliant on new generation opportunities moving forward. The
execution of
that was slightly above our initial
expectations. CovaU has stepped up to the challenge; remaining focused on trying to achieve the best outcome through
the management of our customers' experiences. Building upon the performance within the past year, CovaU continues to
grow with key financial metrics trending in the right direction. Our management approach to profitable growth continues
with both organic and acquisition scenarios.

There were consistent upturns of performance for the year. Revenue of the consolidated entity increased to $83.3 million,
up by 3.9% from the previous year. Gross profit increased to $16.7 million, up by 16.4%. EBITDA increased to $2.7
million, up by 47.0% from the last year of $1.8 million. NPAT was $2.2 million, down by 30.1% compared with last year
of $3.2 million.

Should there be no major changes in the overall energy market, the Group expects to maintain its profitability and cash
flow in the next financial year. CovaU's energy business will remain the largest contributor to revenues and profits.
Dependable performance will be achieved by diligent management and stringent cost control alongside activities that
grow the energy business.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Management for their hard work and shareholders for their patience and
I sincerely hope that we will be able to report correspondingly improved financial results for the
continued support.
Company in the coming years as a reward to that continuing support.

Yours sincerely,

Greg McCann
Chairman

2CEO and Managing Director’s Review

I am pleased to report our results reflect a good performance from CovaU. We managed to maintain momentum and
improve this year's performance. I would like to thank everyone for their contribution. 

The issue of energy policy at the national
level remained uncertain, with the energy industry seeking direction from the
government. We may not see any conclusive policy until 2019 despite the National Energy Guarantee (NEG) being strongly
debated between Federal and State government members. Until a framework is established with supporting policies, retailer
confidence will remain uncertain, price volatility continues and the wholesale sector will be unable to stabilise. Currently,
energy costs are beginning to show signs of decreasing trends from sustained high levels seen in previous years. Should
this trend persist, we will see this reflected in price reductions to customer bills. However, due to the frequent updates to
policy and regulation, investments have to be made towards updating the IT infrastructure and internal process, and
subsequently, increase of operating expense.

The Chief Strategy Officer and I continue to invest our efforts heavily in the renewable generation segment, with a view to
strategically position CovaU into a strong renewable future. This is achieved from both green field ventures to the other end
of the spectrum; the redistribution of effort by shifting purchases from black to green. 

Recent periods of higher energy prices have caused many consumers to experience difficulties in paying their energy bills.
As such, the executive team has taken steps to increase our involvement with the Ombudsman's activities to mitigate
challenges downstream. This includes activities such as raising awareness of support available to both business and
residential customers.

In continuing the growth of the business, we are re-engaging the corporate market. Having focused on SME for the past
couple of years, we believe the business is at a maturity to target larger, corporate customers. While we understand this
may take time to develop, we recognise this is an important market for CovaU in driving future growth.

iGENO has ridden the slow down in the residential property sector and is now targeting selective development sites. We are
continuing to pursue opportunities that present themselves to us and are taking this time to bring renewable services and
technologies into this part of the business. 

Management has integrated our support organisation in the Philippines into the our Australian operation so that they align
more closely. Even at this stage, we continue to advance staff development for better outcomes in both organisational
culture and business performance.

The mobile business remains profitable although revenues have been declining due to time and resources directed towards
the energy business.  At the very least, it is likely this will continue into the next year.

The executive team will maintain prudent management of the business profitability. Our organic sales growth is expected at
a similar rate as this financial year. 

Our business is subject to risks that may impact on our strategy even after careful planning and management. Such risks
include:
    • sales competition with no regard to commercial viability; and
    • unpredictable weather conditions or industry uncertainty which may result in extreme or prolonged high wholesale 
energy prices.

In summary we will to continue to manage our business well and position ourselves for profitable growth whilst continuing to
provide competitive energy services to our customers.

EBITDA has been extracted from the full financial report.

Revenue of the consolidated entity for the year increased by $3.2 million, from $80.2 million to $83.3 million, up by 3.9%
compared to the previous corresponding period (PCP), which was attributable to the continuing growth of its core energy
business. The energy revenue increased by $4.2 million to $81.0 million, representing an increase of $3.1 million (up
5.5%) in electricity service and of $1.1 million (up 5.3%) in gas service. The telecommunication revenue however
decreased by $1.0 million (down 42.8%) from $3.4 million to $2.3 million during the same period due to the further decline
in mobile revenue as a result of continuing fierce competition in the prepaid mobile market.

Gross profit of the consolidated entity increased by $2.4 million, from $14.3 million to $16.7 million, up by 16.4% over the
PCP, and the gross margin increased by 2.1%, from 17.9% to 20.0%. Despite the challenging circumstances for the
energy industry continued from FY 2018 to FY 2019, the electricity gross margin increased by 5.9% over the PCP, from
13.4% to 19.3%, which was mainly attributable to the lower renewable energy cost. The increase in electricity gross
margin offset the decrease of the gas gross margin by 7.5% over the PCP, from 19.2% to 26.7%.

Total operating expenses and employee benefit expense of the consolidated entity increased to $14.2 million, up 11.9%
over the PCP of $12.7 million. The efficiency ratio of expenses over revenue increased by 1.2% from 15.8% to 17.1%
largely due to the increase in the provision of double debts as a result of the implementation of AASB 9 relating to the
expected credit loss model for impairment of financial assets this year.

Earnings before interest expense, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of the consolidated entity for the year
ended 30 June 2019 increased by $0.9 million to  $2.7 million, up by 47.0%, from the last year of $1.8 million.

Directors' Report

Profit before tax of the consolidated entity for the year increased by $0.9 million to $2.2 million, up by 65.2% from the last
year of $1.3 million.

Net profit after tax (NPAT) of the consolidated entity for the year was $2.2 million, down by 30.1% compared with the last
year of $3.2 million. 

Over the year, net assets increased by $1.5 million, up 31.9%, to $6.1 million, which was due to the current years profit
after tax $2.2 million.

Current assets increased by $1.9 million, up 10.9%, to $19.2 million, which was mainly attributable to the trade receivables
and other assets increased by $3.2 million, offsetting by the decrease in cash and bank deposits by $1.1 million. Non-
current assets increased by $0.6 million, up 16.0%, to $4.5 million largely due to the increase of $0.9 million in deferred
tax assets and the additional provision of $0.1 million for impairment in the associated company, Long Tail Property Pty
Ltd.

Current liabilities increased by $0.3 million, up 2.1%, to $15.7 million attributable to the increases in the borrowing of $0.8
million and the derivatives held at fair value of $0.3 million, offsetting the decrease of $0.8 million in trade payables. Non-
current liabilities increased by $0.7 million, up 59.8% to $1.9 million attributable to the increase of $0.7 million in deferred
tax liabilities.

As at 30 June 2019, cash and bank deposits stood at $3.3 million (including $2.2 million held as security for bank
facilities), representing a decrease of $1.2million (down 25.9%) during the year.

Remuneration Policy
The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for determining remuneration arrangements for the directors, the
Managing Director and the senior management team. The Board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount
of the remuneration of directors and senior executives on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market
conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board
and executive team.

Employee Share Ownership Plan 
The 2009 Employee Share Ownership Plan, which was implemented on 30 November 2009, was amended and approved
by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 30 November 2015 (2009 ESOP). This plan replaced the previously
approved Employee Option Plan instituted on 23 May 2007, which the Board believed was no longer as effective following
changes to the taxation of options in recipients hands.

The 2009 ESOP aims to motivate, retain and attract quality employees and directors of the Company to create a
commonality of purpose between the employees and directors and the Company. The 2009 ESOP is operated by way of
the Company issuing new shares to participants, with an amount equal to the subscription price for those shares being
loaned to the participant by the Company. That loan is secured by the Company taking security over the shares which are
subject to a holding lock period of five years, and is interest free with recourse only to the shares. The loan is to be repaid
over time by the participant (whether through dividends, specific payments to reduce the loan, or on sale of the underlying
shares).

Shares issued under the 2009 ESOP will rank from the date of issue equally with the other shares in the Company then on
issue.

Non-executive Director Remuneration
The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be
determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided
among the directors as agreed. The latest determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 20 April 2007 when
shareholders approved an aggregate remuneration of $350,000 per year payable to non-executive directors for their
services as directors, including their services on a committee of directors.

The Board determines payments to the non-executive directors and will review their remuneration annually, based on
market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required.  

Each non-executive director receives a fee for being a director of the Company. An additional fee may also be paid for
each Board committee on which a director sits.

Non-executive directors are eligible to be granted shares under the Employee Share Ownership Plan.

9Directors' Report

Executive Director and Executives Remuneration

operational performance.  

The Board determines the base salary of the executive directors and will review their remuneration annually against the

may be made available to the executive team.

Each executive director and executive receives remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within
the Company.  

Executive directors and executives are eligible to be granted shares under the Employee Share Ownership Plan.

Directors' Report

Key Terms of Employment Agreements
Apart
from the non-executive directors, all key management personnel are employed under standard company
employment agreements. With the exception of the executive directors (where either party may terminate the agreement
by giving a three months notice to the other), the notice period of standard company employment agreements is one
month.

None of these agreements provide for termination conditions or payments. The Board considers that the significant equity
holding of executive directors mitigates any risk of not having formal termination clauses.  

Any termination entitlements payable to the key management personnel would be considered in light of the relevant
circumstances and would be determined after consideration of entitlements of common law rights.  

Directors and Executives Share Holdings
The number of ordinary shares in the Company held directly, indirectly or beneficially during the financial year by key
management personnel and their related entities are as follows:

arm's length basis at market price.

end of the year or had any options that expired during the year.

Directors' Report

Company Performance, Shareholder Wealth and Director and Executive Remuneration 
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders, directors and executives.
There have been two methods applied in achieving this aim, the first being a performance based bonus based on key
performance indicators, and the second being the issue of equity to the majority of directors and executives to encourage
the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. No bonus have been paid in the current year.

Auditor's Independence Declaration 
A copy of the Auditor's independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 has been

13Directors' Report

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 7 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 7 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 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 Company,
acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

Corporate Governance Statement
The directors of the Company support and adhere to the principle of corporate governance, recognising the need for the
highest standard of corporate behaviour and accountability. A review of the Company's corporate governance practices
was undertaken during the year to ensure they remained optimal. Please refer to the corporate governance statement in
this report.

Rounding of Amounts
issued by the Australian Securities and
The Company is of a kind referred to in Legislative Instrument 2016/191,
Investment Commission, relating to "rounding-off". Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that
Class Order to the nearest dollar. Amounts could have been rounded off to nearest thousand, but management has
selected not to do so at this point in time.

This report is made in accordance with a resolution of Directors, pursuant to Section 298 (2) (a) of the Corporation Act
2001.

On behalf of the Directors,

     Greg McCann
     Chairman

Chiao-Heng (Charles) Huang
Managing Director

14Corporate Governance Statement

The Company is committed to implementing standards of corporate governance consistent with the ASX Corporate
Governance Council's Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (3rd Edition). 

Where the Company's corporate governance practices do not correlate with the Recommendations, the Company does
not currently regard it appropriate to meet that specific Recommendation, due to the nature and size of the Company's
operations. The Board's reasoning for any departure to the Recommendations is explained in the Corporate Governance
Statement which is available on the Company website http://www.tpc.com.au/investor_reports.asp.

the Australian

is a general purpose financial report

The consolidated financial report of the Group also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)
and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report. The
accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated, with all balances being presented in
Australian dollars. 

This financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of TPC Consolidated Limited and the
controlled entities (consolidated group or group).

TPC Consolidated Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia, whose shares are
publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange, under the ticker TPC.

Basis of Preparation

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs except where applicable as
modified by the revaluation of financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been
applied. 

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial
report containing relevant and reliable information about
transactions, events and conditions to which they apply.
Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the consolidated financial statements and notes also
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this
financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

The financial report of TPC Consolidated Limited and its controlled entities for the year ended 30 June 2019 was
authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the TPC Board of Directors on 28 August 2019.

Parent Entity Information

In accordance with Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only.
Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in Note 30.

Accounting Policies

New, Revised or Amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations Adopted 

The Company has applied the required amendments to the Standards that are relevant to its operations and effective for
the current reporting period.

The application of the amendments to Standards do not have a material impact on disclosure or amounts recognised in
these financial statements.

New Standards Adopted as at 1 July 2018

AASB 9 Financial Instruments
AASB 9 Financial Instruments replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement requirements. It
makes major changes to the previous guidance on the classification and measurement of financial assets and introduces
an ‘expected credit loss’ model for impairment of financial assets.

When adopting AASB 9, the Group has applied transitional relief and elected not to restate prior periods. Rather,
differences arising from the adoption of AASB 9 in relation to impairment are recognised in opening retained earnings as
at 1 July 2018. Further, the Group chose to continue applying the hedge accounting requirements in AASB 139 as
permitted by AASB 9.

The adoption of AASB 9 has mostly impacted the following area:

Impairment of financial assets
AASB 9 introduces an expected credit loss model for impairment of financial assets which replaces the existing incurred
loss model. For trade and other receivables the Group applies a simplified approach of recognising lifetime expected
credit losses as these items do not have a significant financing component. The impact of applying an expected credit
loss model was a related increase in the impairment allowance for trade and other receivables of $416,886 and a
restated increase in deferred tax assets of $125,066 at 30 June 2018, and a restated decrease of profit for year ended 30
June 2018 of $291,820.

Hedge accounting
All of the Group’s forward derivate contracts had been designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges under
AASB 139. All hedging relationships that were hedging relationships under AASB 139 at the 30 June 2018 reporting date,
meet AASB 9’s criteria for hedge accounting at 1 July 2018 and are therefore regarded as continuing hedging
relationships.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
AASB 15 and its associated amendments supersede AASB 111 Construction Contracts, AASB 118 Revenue and related
Interpretations and it applies, with limited exceptions, to all revenue arising from contracts with customers. AASB 15
establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers and requires that revenue be
recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for
transferring goods or services to a customer.

AASB 15 requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances
when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers. The standard also specifies the accounting for
the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract. In addition, the standard
requires new disclosures.

The entity adopted AASB 15 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial application of 1
July 2018. In accordance with this method, to the extent the impact is material, the entity is required to recognise
adjustment in opening retained earnings as at 1 July 2018.

While the retrospective adoption of AASB 15 resulted in changes in accounting policies which are discussed below, it has
nil
impact in the current or preceding financial reporting years which is why there are no adjustments shown below
relating to the impact of AASB 15 on comparative financial information.

Accounting Policies (continued)

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (continued)

Impact on adoption
The Group undertook a comprehensive analysis of the impact of the new revenue standard with the primary focus being
to understand whether the timing, amount and nature of revenue recognised could differ pursuant to AASB 15.

Based on this assessment, the application of AASB 15 has nil impact on the recognition, timing or measurement of the
Group's revenue.

(a) Principles of Consolidation

The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2019.
The Parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary
and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of
30 June.

All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and
losses on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on
consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a group perspective. Amounts reported in the
financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting
policies adopted by the Group.

Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised
from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.

(b) Business Combination

Business combinations occur where control over another business is obtained and results in the consolidation of its
assets and liabilities. All business combinations, including those involving entities under common control, are accounted
for by applying the acquisition method.

Consideration transferred for the acquisition comprises the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred and the
equity interests issued by the acquirer. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a
business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Any
deferred consideration payable is discounted to present value using the entity's incremental borrowing rate. Acquisition
related costs are expensed as incurred.

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-
date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the acquirer's share of net identifiable
assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets
acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as
a bargain purchase.

(c) Investments in Associate

Associates are those entities over which the Group is able to exert significant influence but which are not subsidiaries.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Any goodwill or fair value adjustment attributable to
the Group's share in the associate is not recognised separately and is included in the amount recognised as investment.
The carrying amount of the investment in associates is increased or decreased to recognise the Group's share of the
profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate, adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the
accounting policies of the Group.

For the year ended 30 June 2019

Note 1:  Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Accounting Policies (continued)

(d) Income Tax

The income tax expense or benefit represents the sum of current tax and deferred tax. Current tax is calculated on
accounting profit after adjustment for any non-taxable and non-deductible items. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax
rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled.
It is calculated using the
tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted at reporting date.

The current tax and deferred tax is recognised as an expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income, except when it relates to items directly charged or credited to equity, in which case the current
and deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between
the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except to the extent that the deferred tax
liabilities arises from:
 - the initial recognition of goodwill; or
 - the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither
   the accounting profit or taxable income at the time of the transaction. 

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

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates and joint ventures,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be
controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will be occurring in the foreseeable future. 

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net
settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to
income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it
is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in
future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. 

Effective 1 July 2003, for the purposes of income taxation, TPC Consolidated Limited and its 100% owned Australian
subsidiaries formed a tax consolidated group. As part of the election to enter tax consolidation, the tax consolidated group 
is treated as a single entity for income tax purposes. Gotalk Pty Limited and its wholly owned subsidiaries joined the tax
consolidated group upon acquisition on 23 December 2011.

TPC Consolidated Limited, as the head entity in the tax consolidated group, recognises, in addition to its own, the current
tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits of all entities in the group.

Accounting Policies (continued)

(e) Inventories

Inventories are initially measured and recorded at cost and are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. 

(f) Property, Plant and Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any provision for
impairment loss.

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

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the
recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows
which will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been
discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only
when it is probable that future benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be
measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred. 

Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land,
is depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to the consolidated entity commencing from the time the
asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of
the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Office Fittings & Furniture
Office Equipment
Network Equipment

13%
20% - 33%
20% - 33%

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

(g) Leases

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

Finance leases are capitalised, recording an asset and a liability equal to 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.

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

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as
expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

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

(h) Financial Instruments

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

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when
the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it
is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

Classification and initial measurement of financial assets
Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the
transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for
transaction costs (where applicable)

Financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the following
categories:
• amortised cost
• fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
• fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

In the periods presented the corporation does not have any financial assets categorised as FVOCI.

The classification is determined by both:
• the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset
• the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance
costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other
expenses.

Subsequent measurement of financial assets

Financial assets at amortised cost
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as
FVTPL):
• they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash
flows
• the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on
the principal amount outstanding

After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted
where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables
fall into this category of financial instruments as well as listed bonds that were previously classified as held-to-maturity
under AASB 39.

(h) Financial Instruments (continued)

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets that are held within a different business model other than ‘hold to collect’ or ‘hold to collect and sell’ are
categorised at
financial assets whose
contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest are accounted for at FVTPL. All derivative
financial instruments fall into this category, except for those designated and effective as hedging instruments, for which
the hedge accounting requirements apply.

fair value through profit and loss. Further,

irrespective of business model

The category also contains an equity investment. The Group accounts for the investment at FVTPL and did not make the
irrevocable election to account for the investment in XY Ltd and listed equity securities at fair value through other
comprehensive income (FVOCI). The fair value was determined in line with the requirements of AASB 9, which does not
allow for measurement at cost.

Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. The fair values of
financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique
where no active market exists.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
The Group accounts for financial assets at FVOCI if the assets meet the following conditions:
• they are held under a business model whose objective it is “hold to collect” the associated cash flows and sell and
• the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on
the principal amount outstanding.

Any gains or losses recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI) will be recycled upon derecognition of the asset.

Impairment of financial assets
AASB 9’s impairment requirements use more forward-looking information to recognise expected credit losses – the
‘expected credit loss (ECL) model’. This replaced AASB 39’s ‘incurred loss model’. Instruments within the scope of the
new requirements included loans and other debt-type financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI, trade
receivables, contract assets recognised and measured under AASB 15 and loan commitments and some financial
guarantee contracts (for the issuer) that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Recognition of credit losses is no longer dependent on the Group first identifying a credit loss event. Instead the Group
considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past
events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash
flows of the instrument.

In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:
• financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low
credit risk (‘Stage 1’) and
• financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is
not low (‘Stage 2’).

‘Stage 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date.

‘12-month expected credit

losses’ are recognised for the first category while ‘lifetime expected credit

losses’ are

Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the
expected life of the financial instrument.

Accounting Policies (continued)

(h) Financial Instruments (continued)

Trade and other receivables and contract assets
The Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables as well as contract assets
and records the loss allowance as lifetime expected credit losses. These are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash
flows, considering the potential for default at any point during the life of the financial instrument. In calculating, the Group
uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses
using a provision matrix.

The Group assess impairment of trade receivables on a collective basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics
they have been grouped based on the days past due.

Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
The Group’s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables and derivative financial instruments.

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the
Group designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.

All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss are
included within finance costs or finance income.

Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
The Group applies the new hedge accounting requirements in AASB 9 prospectively. On adoption of AASB 9, all hedging
relationships that were hedging relationships under AASB 39 at the 30 June 2018 reporting date met the AASB 9’s
criteria for hedge accounting at 1 July 2018 and were therefore regarded as continuing hedging relationships.

Derivative financial
instruments are accounted for at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) except for derivatives
designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedge relationships, which require a specific accounting treatment. To
qualify for hedge accounting, the hedging relationship must meet all of the following requirements:
• there is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument
• the effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship
• the hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the
entity actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the entity actually uses to hedge that quantity of
hedged item.

For the reporting periods under review,
the Group has designated certain forward currency contracts as hedging
instruments in cash flow hedge relationships. These arrangements have been entered into to mitigate foreign currency
exchange risk arising from certain highly probable sales transactions denominated in foreign currency.

To the extent that the hedge is effective, changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as hedging instruments in
cash flow hedges are recognised in other comprehensive income and included within the cash flow hedge reserve in
equity. Any ineffectiveness in the hedge relationship is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

At the time the hedged item affects profit or loss, any gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income
is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and presented as a reclassification adjustment within other comprehensive
income. However, if a non-financial asset or liability is recognised as a result of the hedged transaction, the gains and
losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are included in the initial measurement of the hedged item.

(i) Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the group reviews the carrying values of assets to determine whether there is any indication that
those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of
the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the
asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the group estimates the recoverable
amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

(j) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

Functional and Presentational Currency
The functional currency of each group entity is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent
entity's functional and presentational currency. 

Transactions and Balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of
the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year end exchange rate. Non monetary items
measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items
measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate  at the date when fair values were determined. 

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that
the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the consolidated
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Group Companies
The financial results and position of
presentational currency are translated as follows:
 - Assets and liabilities are translated at year end exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date;
 - Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
 - Retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. 

foreign operations whose functional currency is different

from the group's

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. 

(k) Employee Benefits

Annual Leave/Long Service Leave
Provision is made for the consolidated entity's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees
to reporting date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts
expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year
have been measured at the present value of the future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.

Superannuation
Contributions are made by the consolidated entity to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when
incurred.

Share-based Payments
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 is recognised as an expense over the vesting
period, with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair
value of options (and ESOP awards accounted for as options) is ascertained using a Black-Scholes pricing model which
incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted
at each reporting date such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments
granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. 

(l) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. 

(m) Trade Receivables

Trade and other receivables are stated at amortised cost less any provision for impairment loss.

Impairment
The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at
amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit
risk. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach, which requires expected lifetime losses to be
recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. The Group uses an allowance matrix to measure expected credit
losses of trade receivables and unbilled revenue from its customers. Trade receivable amounts are disaggregated into
customer segments. Loss rates are estimated in each age category and are based on the probability of a receivable
progressing through to write-off. Factors to estimate the loss rate are based on risk assessment performed per customer
segment and economic factors such as wholesale electricity forward curves.

Accounting Policies (continued)

(m) Trade Receivables (continued)

The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss within other expenses. When a trade receivable for
which an impairment loss had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the
provision account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in profit
or loss.

Expected credit loss on trade receivables and unbilled revenue
The Group uses an allowance matrix to measure expected credit losses of trade receivables and unbilled revenue from
its customers. Trade receivable amounts are disaggregated into customer segments.

(n) Trade and Other Payables

Trade and other payables are stated at amortised cost.

(o) 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. 

(p) Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities represents the unused component of prepaid mobile products as at the reporting date and relates to
cards that have been activated.

Contract liabilities also represents receipts in advance from customers of the energy business as at the reporting date.

(q) Revenue Recognition

The Group’s primary revenue streams relate to the retail sale of electricity and gas to residential and business customers
in Australia. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services is transferred to
a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled to receive in exchange
for those goods or services.

The majority of contractual energy supply arrangements with customers have no fixed duration, generally require no
minimum consumption by the customer and are able to be terminated by either party at any time without incurring
significant penalty. Given this, the enforceable contracts are considered short term (less than 12 months) in nature.

The Group has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements because it controls the goods or
services before transferring them to the customer. The Group’s primary performance obligations are the supply of energy
(gas or electricity) over the contractual term. There are either individual contracts representing separate purchasing
decisions of customers, or the units of supply of energy represent a series of distinct goods that are substantially the
same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer and hence is considered one performance obligation
satisfied over time. For the shorter term contracts, the performance obligations are considered to be satisfied, and
revenue is recognised, as and when the units of energy are delivered. 

Residential electricity and gas sales
Residential energy sales relate to the sales of energy (gas and electricity) to retail customers. Residential sales are
classified as individual, short term, day-by-day contracts and are recognised as revenue on a day-by-day basis upon
delivery of energy to customers. The Group recognises revenue from contracts with its residential customers at the
electricity and gas portfolio levels.

(q) Revenue Recognition (continued)

Business electricity and gas sales
Business sales represent the sale of energy to business customers. The nature and accounting treatment of this revenue
stream is consistent with residential sales. 

Revenue from the rendering of telecommunication service
Revenue from the rendering of telecommunication service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to customers. A
sales incentive provided to a customer in the form of non-cash consideration, for example bonus time, is considered to be
a separate deliverable in a multiple deliverable arrangement. Sales revenue is allocated proportionally to the aggregate
of the service paid for and the incentive, and is recognised when the customer utilises the incentive i.e. when TPC
provides the service.

Customer contract liabilities are recognised for cash received in advance and services not used yet.

Costs to obtain and fulfil a contract
Costs that are incurred regardless of whether an energy contract is obtained are expensed as incurred, unless those
costs are explicitly chargeable to the customer.

Variable consideration and constraints
The Group includes variable consideration in the transaction price as estimated at the inception of a contract. However, if
it is considered 'highly probable' that a significant reversal of revenue recognised will occur in the future, the variable
consideration is constrained and not included in the transaction price. The Group's contractual arrangements contain a
number of variable pricing elements including pay-on-time discounts. Some of these variable elements are resolved
during the reporting periods. Where they are not, management estimates the likelihood of the variable pricing element
eventuating and recognises the variable pricing element to the extent it is not highly probable that it will reverse.

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method.

(r) Goods and Services Tax

Revenues and expenses are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not
recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of
acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of expense.

Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST due,
but not paid, to the Australian Taxation Office is included under payables.

Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statements on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and
financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(s) Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of TPC Consolidated
Limited divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as adjusted net profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of TPC
Consolidated Limited divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding adjusted for the effects of all dilutive
potential ordinary shares during the period.

(t) Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating
decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing
performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors.

(u) Comparatives

Where required by accounting standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in the current
year.

(v) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and
best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current
trends and consolidated data, obtained both externally and within the group. 

Provision for Impairment of Receivables
The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at
amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit
risk. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach, which requires expected lifetime losses to be
recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. The Group uses an allowance matrix to measure expected credit
losses of trade receivables and unbilled revenue from its customers. Trade receivable amounts are disaggregated into
customer segments. Loss rates are estimated in each age category and are based on the probability of a receivable
progressing through to write-off. Factors to estimate the loss rate are based on risk assessment performed per customer
segment and economic factors such as wholesale electricity forward curves.

(v) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments (continued)

Unbilled Revenue
The Group recognises revenue from gas and electricity sales once the gas and/or electricity has been consumed by the
customer. Management estimates customer consumption between the last invoice date and the end of the reporting
period when determining gas and electricity revenue for the financial period. Various assumptions and financial models
are used to determine the estimated unbilled consumption.
Some of the assumptions and estimates include:
• Volume and timing of energy consumed by the customers
• Various pricing plans and allocation of the estimated volume to such pricing plans
• Loss factors
• Behavioural discounts

Deferred tax assets relating to tax losses
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and accumulated tax losses only if
the
consolidated entity considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary
differences and losses (see Note 4).

Share-based Payment Transactions
The group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity
instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined internally by management using a Black-
Scholes valuation model. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments
would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may
impact expenses and equity.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
When the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the statement of financial position cannot be
derived from active markets, the fair value is determined using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow
model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a
degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. The judgements include considerations of inputs such as
liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of
financial instruments. See Note 25 for further discussion.

(v) Recently Issued Accounting Standards to be Applied in Future Reporting Periods

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2018.
The consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations,
most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below.

AASB 16 Leases: 
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. For lessee accounting, the
standard eliminates the 'operating lease' and 'finance lease' classification required by AASB 117 'Leases'. Subject to
exceptions, a 'right-of -use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured as the present value
of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions related to short-term leases of
12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and office furniture) where an accounting
policy choice exists whereby either a ' right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss
as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease
incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs.
Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset
(included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). For
classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing
activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) components. For lessor accounting, the standard does not
substantially change how to a lessor accounts for leases.

The Group will adopt this standard for the year ending 30 June 2020 and is expected to apply the modified retrospective
approach. The cumulative impact of the adoption will be recognised in 1 July 2019 opening retained earnings and
comparatives will not be restated.

The impact of adoption of AASB 16 will be a restated decrease of profit for the year ended 30 June 2019 of $35,615, a
restated increase in leased assets of $1,227,887, a restated increase in deferred tax assets of $15,264, a restated
increase in lease liabilities $1,467,171 and a restated decrease in provision for future rent of $188,405 at 30 June 2019.

AASB 15 requires entities to disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into categories that depict how the
nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The Group has
determined that a disaggregation of revenue using existing segments and the nature of revenue best depicts the Group's
revenue.

For 2019, revenue includes $1,595,370 (2018: $1,670,107) included in contract liability balance at the beginning of the
period.

(d) Tax Consolidation

Effective 1 July 2003, for the purposes of income taxation, TPC Consolidated Limited and its 100% owned Australian
subsidiaries formed a tax consolidated group. As part of the election to enter tax consolidation, the tax consolidated group
is treated as a single entity for income tax purposes. Gotalk Pty Limited and its wholly owned subsidiaries joined the tax
consolidated group upon acquisition on 23 December 2011.

in addition to its own
TPC Consolidated Limited, as the head entity in the tax consolidated group, recognises,
transactions, the current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits of all
entities in the group.

(1) Leave Entitlement Provision represents provision for employee entitlements relating to annual leave and long service
leave. In calculating the present value of future cash flows in respect of long service leave, the probability of long service
leave being taken is based on historical data. The measurement and recognition criteria relating to employee benefits
have been included in Note 1.

(2) Future Rent Provision relates to the difference between the cash payments on the leasehold property and the
accounting charge spread over the life of the lease on a straight line basis.

(1) The issue of shares under the 2009 Employee Shares Ownership Plan (2009 ESOP) has been treated as issue of share
options in accordance with the pronouncement of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee. Where
the company funds the acquisition of its own shares via a loan to employees with recourse only to the shares, it is treated
as an option grant and accounted for under AASB 2 Share-based Payment. No loan or equity is booked initially. The
Company has effectively given the employee an option exercisable sometime in the future to buy a share at a set price.
For information relating to shares issued under the 2009 ESOP during the financial year, refer to Note 27(a). 

Effective 1 July 1998, the Corporations legislation in place abolished the concepts of authorised capital and par value
shares.  Accordingly, the company does not have authorised capital nor par value in respect of its issued shares.

Note 20:   Issued Capital (continued)

(c) Capital Management

Management controls the capital of the group in order to maintain a good debt to equity ratio, provide the shareholders
with adequate returns and ensure that the group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.

The group's capital includes ordinary shares supported by financial assets, and structured debt facilities.

Management effectively manages the group's capital by assessing the group's financial risks and adjusting its capital
structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of debt
levels, distributions to shareholders, buy-back shares and share issues.

Apart from the above, there have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the
group since the prior year.

Note 27:   Employee Benefits

(a) Employee Share Ownership Plan 

The 2009 Employee Share Ownership Plan, which was implemented on 30 November 2009, was amended and
approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 30 November 2015 (2009 ESOP).

The 2009 ESOP aims to motivate, retain and attract quality employees and directors of
the company to create
commonality of purpose between the employees and directors and the company. The ESOP is operated by way of the
company issuing new shares to participants, with an amount equal to the subscription price for those shares being
loaned to the participant by the company. That loan secured by the company taking security over the shares which are
subject to a holding lock period of five years, is interest free with recourse only to the shares. The loan is to be repaid
over time by the participant (whether through dividends, specific payments to reduce the loan, or on sale of the
underlying shares).  

Shares issued under the 2009 ESOP will rank from the date of issue equally with the other shares in the company then
on issue.

All shares issued pursuant to the 2009 ESOP are held by a trustee appointed by the company in trust for the participant
until such time as the loan is repaid. The loan becomes immediately repayable in the event of dismissal, resignation,
death or retirement of the participant. 60% of all dividends and distributions made in respect of the shares must be
applied towards repayment of the loan. Voting rights attached to the shares may only be exercised by the trustee holder
in the best interest of the participant.

On 15 January 2016, a total of 1,600,000 shares were granted to the employees and directors of the company under the
2009 ESOP.

For accounting purposes, the share issue under the 2009 ESOP has been treated as option grant and the value of the
options vested has been accounted for and included in the result of the period. Any repayment of the loan will be treated
as partial payment to be applied towards the payment of shares issued under the 2009 ESOP.

The fair value of the option grant relating to the 2009 ESOP is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes
Options Pricing Model applying the following inputs:

  Number of Options on Issue 
  Exercise Price
  Time to Maturity
  Underlying Share Price

The number of ESOP shares on issue represents the number of shares issued under the 2009 ESOP on 15 January
2016. The expected life of the shares is based on historical data, which may not eventuate in the future. The expected
share price volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may not
necessarily be the actual outcome.   

Details of options provided as remuneration and shares issued on the exercise of such options, together with terms and
conditions of the options, can be found in the Remuneration Report on pages 9-13.

Note 28:   Financial Instruments and Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The group undertakes transactions in a range of financial instruments including:
 - Cash assets;
 - Trade and other receivables;
 - Trade and other payables;
 - Investments; and
 - Derivative financial instruments.

The main risks arising from the group's financial instruments are energy price risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency risk
and credit risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks.

(a) Energy Price Risk

The group is exposed to energy price risk associated with the purchase and/or sale of electricity, gas and environmental
products. The group manages energy risk through an established risk management framework consisting of policies to
place appropriate risk limits on overall energy market exposures and transaction limits for approved energy commodities,
requirements for delegations of authority on trading, regular reporting of exposures and segregation of duties.

It is the group's policy to actively manage the energy price exposure arising from both forecast energy supply and retail
customer energy load. The Group’s risk management policy for energy price risk is to hedge forecast future positions for
up to 12 months into the future.

Exposures to fluctuations in the wholesale market energy prices are managed through the use of various types of hedge
contracts including derivative financial instruments, such as energy swaps and caps.

As at 30 June 2019 instruments entered into include 84,664 MWh (2018: 96,006 MWh) swaps, caps and options to
cover an estimate 33% (2018: 39%) forecast yearly electricity demands, and 165,600 GJ (2018: 27,600 GJ) swaps to
cover an estimate 14% (2018: 3%) forecast yearly gas demands.

(c) Foreign Currency Risk

The group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign currency risk arising from various currency exposures,
primarily with respect to the US dollar, NZ dollar and Philippine Peso.

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and net investments in foreign operations. 

The transactional currency exposure will be minimised by seeking economically favourable local suppliers. When it is
required, the group will enter into forward exchange contracts to reduce and minimise its currency exposures.

Foreign currency risk also arises on translation of the net assets of our non Australian controlled entities which have
different functional currency. The foreign currency gains or losses arising from this risk are recorded through the foreign
currency translation reserve. The group does not seek to hedge this exposure taking consideration of current net
investment position.

The carrying amount of the consolidated entity's foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities at
the reporting date was as follows:

The group's maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is
the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Trade receivables consist of residential and business customers. Prior to contracting, customers must agree to and
successfully pass a credit check and all results are individually assessed for approval by our credit team under the
credit risk management policy.
In the event that a credit check result is declined by our credit team all offers of supply
and sale are withdrawn from the customers.

The group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counter-party or any group of counter-parties
having similar characteristics. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis.

There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the group.

The group's objective is to be self-funding by the generation of positive cash flow. The group manages liquidity risk by
monitoring cash flow requirements on a continuing basis.

(f) Summarised Sensitivity Analysis

Energy Price Risk

The sensitivity analysis is based on energy price risk exposures arising from the electricity and gas prices from 10 per cent
movement in the wholesale market with all other variables remaining constant.

A sensitivity of 10 per cent has been selected as this is considered reasonable given the current level of market contract
price and the volatility observed both on an historical basis and market expectations for future movements.

Interest Rate Risk

The following sensitivity analysis is based on interest rate exposures arising from the effect on interest income on net
average balance of cash and cash equivalents and term deposits from 50 basis point (0.5%) movement in interest rates
during the year.

A sensitivity of plus or minus 50 basis point (0.5%) has been selected as this is considered reasonable given the current
level of both short term and long term Australian interest rates.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The sensitivity analysis is based on foreign currency risk exposures on financial instruments and net foreign investment

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

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Estimation of unbilled revenue – Note 9 

Unbilled revenue of $6,876,520 disclosed in Note 9(a) of the annual 
report represents the value of gas and electricity supplied to 
customers for the period between the date of the last meter reading 
and the reporting date of 30 June 2019, of which the invoices had not 
been issued to the customers. 

Detailed calculations utilising estimates of the electricity and gas 
consumption of the Group’s customers and applicable pricing plans 

are used to determine the estimate of unbilled revenue. 

This area is a key audit matter due to the estimation uncertainty 
involved in determining customer consumption between the last 
invoice date and the end of the reporting period and the application of 
pricing assumptions to the calculation of unbilled revenue. 

Unbilled network expenses – Note 16 

Management estimates energy consumption between the date of the 
last invoice date from the energy distributor to the Group, and the end 
of the reporting period when estimating network expenses. 

Detailed financial models utilising estimates of the electricity and gas 
consumption of the Group’s customers are used to determine the 

unbilled distribution costs of. Detailed calculations utilising estimates 
of the electricity and gas consumption of the Group’s customers are 

used to determine the unbilled network expenses of $7,862,152, as 
disclosed within Accrued Expenses in Note 16 to the financial 
statements. 

This area is a key audit matter due to the estimation uncertainty 
involved in estimating the volume of energy purchased to satisfy the 
Groups customer demand since the last invoice. 

Derivative financial instruments – Note 25 

The Group enters into derivative arrangements, such as energy price 
caps and swaps, in order to hedge its exposure to the variable and 
volatile wholesale energy prices. These financial instruments are 
classified by the Group of cashflow hedges. 

Accounting for derivative financial instruments involves judgement in 

the application of specific hedge accounting requirements under 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 











obtaining an understanding of the processes and key
controls management has in place to determine and review
the estimate of unbilled revenue;
comparing the Group’s previous estimates against
subsequent billings to evaluate the historical accuracy of the 
Group’s calculations and estimates;
agreeing management’s reconciliation of purchase volumes
to revenue volumes recognised;
challenging management’s calculations and the underlying
assumptions, and comparing:

o

o

average pricing rates used in the calculation to
historical and current rates;
internally generated estimates of physical energy
loss levels through the distribution process to
industry averages published by the Australian
Energy Market Operator (AEMO); and

assessing the adequacy of the Group’s disclosure in
respect of unbilled revenue.

Our procedures included, amongst others: 











obtaining an understanding of the process and key controls
management have in place to determine the estimate of the
accrued expenses;
testing the volume of wholesale energy purchased by the
Group to AEMO invoices on a sample basis;
reconciling purchase volumes to revenue volumes
recognised;
comparing post period-end invoices to management’s
estimate of accrued expenses; and
assessing the appropriateness and adequacy of the
disclosures in the financial report.

Our procedures included, amongst others: 





obtaining an understanding of the internal risk management
procedures, systems and controls associated with the
origination and maintenance of complete and accurate
information relating to the derivative arrangements;
obtaining details of all swap and cap contracts as at 30
June 2019, and confirming directly with the counterparty the

65AASB 9: Financial Instruments. There is also a requirement to record 
the derivatives at fair value, which involves the application of further 
judgement.  

This area is a key audit matter due to the heightened complexities 
associated with the valuation and accounting for these derivative 
financial instruments and this is the first year of the adoption of AASB 
9. Upon adoption, the Group was required to assess whether their
derivative arrangements still met the recognition and measurement 
requirements under the new standards. 

key terms and conditions of the arrangement and pricing of 
an equivalent contract as at 30 June 2019; 
comparing the year-end pricing provided by the
counterparty to the contracted pricing, recalculating the fair 
value of the financial instrument and comparing the fair 
value to those recorded by management; 
obtaining and evaluating management’s hedge
documentation of hedge relationships in order to ensure 
compliance with AASB 9; and 
assessing the appropriateness and adequacy of the
disclosures in the financial report.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance 
Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our 
auditor’s report.
