strategy in water services

Corporate DireCtoryVysarn Limited (ABN 41 124 212 175) and controlled entities   |   ASX : VYS5

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER  
TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholders

It is with great pleasure that I present the 2022 Annual 
Report for Vysarn Limited (Vysarn) and the financial results 
for the company in what has proven to be a defining year in 
the company’s early growth and strategic aspirations. 

As Vysarn entered the 2022 financial year, the board and management 
had a clear intention to execute on the initial stages of the company’s 
vertical integration strategy in water services. The two main drivers 
of the strategy were to diversify away from the concentration 
risk associated with the single service nature of the company’s 
hydrogeological drilling division and to broaden our service offerings 
and earnings across multiple water focussed divisions. This approach 
was designed to not only mitigate earnings concentration risks but to 
drive shareholder value by creating a diverse basket of complimentary 
and integrated water focused subsidiaries. 

In executing the strategy, a number of key milestones were 
achieved within the financial year with Vysarn moving from owning 
and operating one wholly owned subsidiary to three. Vysarn made 
its first acquisition in Yield Test Pumping (subsequently renamed 
Pentium Test Pumping) to provide test pumping capability and 
organically launched Pentium Water to provide water consultancy 
and advisory capability. Future growth opportunities were also 
identified in the period, with one such opportunity being Project 
Engineering (WA) which the company recently settled on 30 
September 2022. 

The consolidated group entity produced earnings before interest, 
tax and depreciation of $9.08 million, net profit before tax of $4.10 
million, operational cashflow of $9.49 million, with a balance sheet 
showing net tangible assets of $28.09 million of which $5.71 million 
was cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2022. 

Vysarn remains in good shape as it enters the next financial year 
and continues to see material opportunities to grow each of its 
subsidiaries, as well as capitalising on future growth options in the 
wider water sector. 

I’d like to thank management and staff for all their endeavours over 
the last financial year. It’s been a highly successful year despite a 
backdrop featuring significant challenges such as COVID-19, labour 
shortages, cost pressures and supply chain disruptions. 

On behalf of the Board I would like to thank you for your ongoing 
support and patience as we grow the business. It is our intention to 
reward shareholders with long term sustainable value. 

Sincerely,

Peter Hutchinson 
Chairman

FY2022 RESULTS COMMENTARY
Vysarn’s revenue from operations to 30 June 
2022 of $46.30 million exceeded previous 
corresponding period revenue from operations by 
$20.47 million. 

Revenue from operations in FY2022 represents a 
full twelve month operational contribution from 
the Company’s hydrogeological drilling division, a 
nine month operational contribution from the test 
pumping division (post acquisition in 2021) and 
a five month operational contribution from the 
consultancy division (post organic launch in 2022).

While revenue generated by the test pumping 
and consultancy divisions were broadly in line 
with management expectations, second half 
revenue in the hydrogeological drilling division 
was adversely and materially affected by 

COVID-19 interruptions (as disclosed in ASX 
announcement 5 May 2022).

Net Profit Before Tax (NPBT) was $4.10 million 
and Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) was $2.86 million 
for the 12 months to 30 June 2022. The tax 
expense in FY2022 was non-cash due to the 
Company employing carried forward tax losses 
from previous financial periods. The Company 
continues to carry tax losses of $11.27 million that 
can be used to offset future taxable income. 

The Company has Net Tangible Assets (NTA) of 
$28.09 million, representing a NTA backing of 
$0.072 a share. Net Current Assets were $3.98 
million, Cash and Cash Equivalent position was 
$5.71 million and net debt was $4.20 million as 
at 30 June 2022.

GROUP OPERATIONS OVERVIEW
Operationally and structurally the whole Company has had a transformative twelve months. In this 
FY22(A)
time the Company has pivoted away from being solely a hydrogeological driller, to having executed the 
early stages of a clearly defined strategy to establish itself as a vertically integrated, whole of life water 
service provider. Within the period this has been achieved by moving Pentium Hydro to an operational 
steady state (albeit with COVID-19 interruptions), the acquisition and integration of Pentium Test 
Pumping, the organic establishment of Pentium Water and completion of the ProEng acquisition.

PENTIUM HYDRO

OPERATIONS
Throughout FY2022 Vysarn’s wholly owned 
subsidiary Pentium Hydro Pty Ltd (www.
pentiumhydro.com.au) continued to focus on 
achieving and maintaining the full deployment of 
staff and equipment. Pleasingly, this objective was 
successfully achieved in the December half of the 
financial year providing the Company with valuable 
insight into the operational and earnings capacity 
of a fully deployed Pentium Hydro. COVID-19 case 
numbers in the June half of the financial year 
unfortunately created issues in worker availability 
and client site access which in turn created short-
term interruptions in operational and earnings 
momentum experienced in the December half. 

Ongoing Master Service Agreements with 
Fortescue Metals Group and Roy Hill Iron Ore 
continued to underpin the majority of Pentium 
Hydro’s asset utilisation. During the period, 
Pentium Hydro entered into a Goods and 
Services Contract with BHP Nickel West for the 
provision of hydrogeological drilling services for 
the supply of one rig suite with the potential for 
an expanded scope of works in future periods. 
Pentium Hydro also completed work for IGO, 
Western Areas, Iluka Resources and Dacian Gold.

Leading into the new financial year Pentium Hydro 
is well positioned to take advantage of additional 
long term contract opportunities with tier one 
resource companies that will support long term 
full deployment and higher utilisation rates 
across the drilling fleet. Commercial discussions 
in this regard are well progressed. Importantly, 
the realisation of these opportunities will help 
avoid the mobilisation timing and operational 
vagaries that often accompany short term fixed 
scope work, in turn improving operations, asset 
utilisation and margins.

While the domestic labour market for 
hydrogeological drilling professionals and the 
inflationary economic environment continued 
to be challenging throughout the period, the 
Company was still able to grow employee 
headcount, keeping rigs fully resourced. 
COVID-19 interruption was the major caveat in 
the period regarding employee availability. 

OUTLOOK
Management anticipates that for the twelve 
months to 30 June 2023 (FY2023) opportunities 
to maintain high utilisation rates across Pentium 
Hydro’s rig suites will be underpinned not only 
by the Company’s current multi-rig multi-year 
contracts, but also by the additional award 
of expected near term contracts to supply 
hydrogeological drilling services to new tier one 
resource clients. The opportunity to replicate 
and then build on previous steady state earnings 
performances in Pentium Hydro could however 
be subject to COVID-19 interruptions, wet 
weather, unforeseen repairs and maintenance 
and other unbudgeted operational expenses.

Management’s key focus and strategic intent 
for Pentium Hydro in FY2023 is to have all 
twelve Company owned drill rigs plus associated 
ancillary equipment deployed, fully utilised and 
set under long term multi-year contracts, across 
a balanced distribution of tier one resource 
clients. Ongoing improvements in Pentium 
Hydro’s safety and incremental operational 
efficiencies will also continue to be pursued. 

Managing Director’s reportVysarn Limited (ABN 41 124 212 175) and controlled entities   |   ASX : VYS9

PENTIUM TEST PUMPING

OPERATIONS
The Company completed the acquisition of Yield 
Test Pumping Pty Ltd in November 2021 with the 
business subsequently renamed Pentium Test 
Pumping Pty Ltd (www.pentiumtestpumping.com.
au). Via the acquisition, the Company assumed 
the Master Service Agreement providing test 
pumping services to Fortescue Metals Group, 
strengthening the group’s relationship and suite 
of service offerings to this key client. 

Pentium Test Pumping exceeded initial 
expectations in its first months of trading 
with staff and management proving to be an 
immediate cultural fit within the group. Of note, 
the utilisation and operational performance of 
the test pumping division was strong with clear 
avenue for the addition of extra test pumping 
units to service the resources sector as well as 
the creation of ancillary down hole services.

OUTLOOK
It is anticipated that Pentium Test Pumping’s 
current fleet of equipment will remain 
fully utilised under its current contractual 
arrangements with ongoing and increasing 
opportunities to double shift the equipment at 
intervals throughout FY2023. 

Subject to current domestic supply chain 
constraints it is also anticipated that a second 
test pumping unit recently approved by the 
board will be delivered and operational within 
FY2023. Considerable research and development 
has gone into the new unit to implement 
structural and technological improvements 
identified over time whilst operating Pentium 
Test Pumping’s first generation equipment. 

In addition to test pumping, the recent 
acquisition of ProEng will provide Pentium 
Test Pumping with an avenue to potentially 
build significant and industry leading capability 
in injection testing using the registered and 
patented valve technology developed by ProEng. 
Management intends to develop this capability 
within Pentium Test Pumping as soon as 
practicable post acquisition of ProEng. 

Managing Director’s reportAnnual Report for the financial year ending 30 June 202210

PENTIUM WATER

OPERATIONS
In February 2022 the Company launched Pentium 
Water Pty Ltd (www.pentiumwater.com.au) as 
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company to 
provide consulting services covering ground 
water, surface water and environmental planning. 

Pentium Water has provided the Company with 
an organic entry into the consulting sector and 
in the early stages of operations has proved 
to be a successful and strategically important 
initial entry point into the design phase of the 
Company’s vertical integration strategy. 

Since its launch Pentium Water has been able 
to establish a complement of staff across 
disciplines in surface water, ground water, 
environmental planning and water resource 
engineering. The division has already established 
a pipeline of future work across all disciplines 
and capacity remains for future growth in the 
consulting team. Subsequently, as it enters the 
new financial year Pentium Water has positioned 
itself to arrive at an initial steady state phase of 
business operations. 

As has been previously outlined, Pentium Water 
is not expected to provide a material earnings 
contribution to the group in its own right, but 
rather it is anticipated that the line of sight that 
the division will provide on forthcoming projects 
and opportunities in the broader water sector will 
be substantial. Pentium Water is already seeing 
and providing new and material opportunities for 
the Company to expand and invest beyond its 
current capacity and suite of services. 

One such early opportunity identified by Pentium 
Water is the growing demand for managed 
aquifer recharge capabilities and adjacent 
services, particularly within the iron ore sector 
in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. 
The Company subsequently announced the 
completion of the share sale agreement to 
acquire Project Engineering (WA) Pty Ltd (ProEng) 
on 30 September 2022. ProEng is a domestic 
leader in the provision of managed aquifer 
recharge technology. 

OUTLOOK
Pentium Water’s consulting team has grown to 
sixteen employees since its inception in February 
2022. Management has established a pipeline of 
future work for FY2023 to be executed across 
scopes in ground water, surface water and water 
resource engineering, as well as environmental 
planning. The division’s clientele is diverse with 
representation from the resource sector, large 
scale urban developers and government agencies. 

In addition to its primary initiative of delivering 
consultancy services across multiple disciplines, 
Pentium Water is expected to identify and 
develop investment opportunities for the 
Company across a broad spectrum of water 
and environmental industries. The division has 
visibility on material early-stage projects through 
the provision of its front-end consultancy 
services. In addition to the consultancy piece, 
Pentium Water regularly identifies opportunities 
to not only consult to projects but to co-invest 
or own projects in its own right (subject to the 
availability of funding). 

The Company intends to foster and pursue 
a number of these opportunities throughout 
2023. Early stage opportunities identified by 
Pentium Water have been in managed aquifer 
recharge, water ownership, water infrastructure, 
asset management, carbon farming, irrigated 
agriculture, mine closure and urban rehabilitation.

Managing Director’s reportVysarn Limited (ABN 41 124 212 175) and controlled entities   |   ASX : VYS11

FY23 GROUP OUTLOOK

PROENG
Noting the recent acquisition of ProEng, 
management’s intention is to immediately 
integrate the business within the group and to 
deliver forecast earnings in line with what was 
discovered during the due diligence process. This 
will primarily be driven by earnings generated 
by ProEng’s core competency in the provision of 
managed aquifer recharge systems to tier one 
iron ore clients in the Pilbara. Ancillary earnings 
are expected to be generated by ongoing work in 
the commercial fishing sector. 

The Company will pursue organic growth 
opportunities for ProEng as well as what 
management views as material integration 
opportunities with Pentium Test Pumping and 
Pentium Water. As previously outlined, the 
intention is to expand Pentium Test Pumping’s 
service offering into injection testing and 
Pentium Water’s service offering into managed 
aquifer recharge consulting. 

In addition, there is growing interest in managed 
aquifer recharge systems and their ability to 
assist in processes aimed at water harvesting 
and water banking to future proof water supplies 
from both regulated and non-regulated water 
abstraction sources. 

FY2023 GROUP OUTLOOK
Driving an increase in shareholder value 
remains a key focus of Vysarn’s board and 
management. The Company will continue 
to execute the vertical integration strategy 
patiently and meticulously. In past commentary 
management has emphasised the need to 
reduce concentration risk associated with the 
capital intensive, single service nature of the 
hydrogeological drilling division. This strategic 
initiative is still at the forefront of board and 
management thinking. 

In line with the Company’s strategy, providing 
multiple services via Pentium Water, Pentium 
Hydro, Pentium Test Pumping and ProEng 
will provide the Company with a broader and 
differentiated competitive moat by being able 
to better service clients across multiple fronts 
as well as providing cross selling opportunities 
across sectors, projects and clients. 

With a focus on driving shareholder value, 
diversification also provides an opportunity 
for the expansion in valuation multiples as the 
market recognises the value of a diverse portfolio 
of services across water, diversified revenue 
streams and a balanced mix of capital light and 
capital intensive business units. 

Vysarn is well positioned entering FY2023. 
The Company continues to be sufficiently 
funded, has a clearly defined strategy with early 
execution success, has a broad range of growth 
prospects and remains well placed to deliver 
long term, sustainable value for its shareholders.

A.  THE GROUP’S OPERATIONS
	V The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary 
Pentium Hydro Pty Ltd (“Pentium Hydro”) 
experienced significant growth in the financial 
year as it approached steady state operations 
and full asset utilisation. Pentium Hydro 
continues to service major mining companies 
that are experiencing growing dewatering 
issues as a result of the increase in the 
proportion of their economic ore bodies lying 
below the water table. 

	V The Group acquired 100% of the issued 
capital of Pentium Test Pumping Pty Ltd 
(Pentium Test Pumping) (formerly Australian 
Groundwater Solutions Pty Ltd trading as Yield 
Test Pumping) and also organically established 
Pentium Water during the period. Pentium 
Test Pumping is a leading provider of test 
pumping solutions to tier-1 resource clients in 
Western Australia and provides the Group with 
a unique and integrated service offering across 
hydrogeological drilling and test pumping. 
Pentium Water Pty Ltd (Pentium Water) was 
established to provide consulting services in 
ground water, surface water and environmental 
planning. Pentium Water services the resource, 
urban development, utility, government and 
agricultural sectors.

B.  THE GROUP’S BUSINESS  

AND STRATEGY

	V Vysarn aims to become an industry leading 

vertically integrated water and environmental 
services provider and is focused on building 
value, scale and diversity through organic 
growth and strategic acquisitions. The 
Company experienced early strategy execution 
success during the period through organic 
growth and a strategic acquisition, growing its 
services to include Pentium Hydro, Pentium 
Water, and Pentium Test Pumping.

	V Vysarn intends to build on its current 

foundation of hydrogeological drilling, test 
pumping and water consultancy by pursuing 
further growth initiatives within the water and 
environmental vertical, as well as exploring 
adjacent service and sector opportunities

The Group’s operations and financial position 
for the relevant period is further discussed in 
“Note 6” on page 44.

5.  LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS
The Group will continue to pursue new contract 
opportunities in Australia for its hydrogeological 
drilling, test pumping and water consultancy 
focused business activities.

Directors’ reportAnnual Report for the financial year ending 30 June 202214

6.  FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
The profit for the Group after providing for 
income tax amounted to $2.86 million (30 June 
2021: $0.34 million).

Working capital, represented by current assets 
less current liabilities, was $3.981 million (30 June 
2021: $3.93 million). The Company had positive 
cash flow from operating activities for the year 
amounting to $9.50 million (2021: $1.71 million).

Operational revenue for the year ended 30 June 
2022 was $46.30 million (2021: $25.8 million). 
Growth was generated primarily from obtaining 
new water well drilling contracts and deploying 

additional drill rigs, the acquisition of Pentium Test 
Pumping and organic growth of Pentium Water.

A.  PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

To the extent permitted by law, the Company has

Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance 
prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability

proceedings that may be brought against the 
officers in their capacity as officers in the 
Company, and any other payments arising from 
liabilities incurred by the officers in connection

1.  INTRODUCTION 
KMP have authority and responsibility for 
planning, directing and controlling the major 
activities of the Group. KMP comprise the 
Directors of the Company.

Compensation levels for KMP are competitively 
set to attract and retain appropriately qualified 
and experienced Directors and executives. The 
Board may seek independent advice on the 
appropriateness of compensation packages, 
given the trend in comparative companies both 
locally and internationally and objectives of the 
Company’s compensation. 

A.  PRINCIPLES USED TO DETERMINE 
THE NATURE AND AMOUNT OF 
REMUNERATION

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

	V Competitiveness and reasonableness;

	V Acceptability to shareholders;

	V Performance linkage/alignment of executive 

compensation;

	V Transparency; and

	V Capital management.

RemuneRation RepoRt (audited)Annual Report for the financial year ending 30 June 202222

1. Introduction continued…

The Board is responsible for determining and 
reviewing remuneration arrangements for its 
Directors and executives. The performance 
of the Company depends on the quality of its 
Directors and executives. The remuneration 
philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain 
high performing and high-quality personnel. The 
Company has structured a market competitive 
executive remuneration framework. The reward 
framework is designed to align executive reward 
to shareholders’ interests. 

The Board has considered that it should seek to 
enhance shareholders’ interests by:

	V Focusing on shareholder value and returns; and

	V Attracting and retaining high calibre executives.

Additionally, the reward framework should seek 
to enhance executives’ interests by:

	V Rewarding capability and experience;

	V Reflecting a competitive reward for 

contribution to growth in shareholder wealth;

	V Providing a clear structure for earning rewards; 

and

	V Providing recognition for contribution.

2.   REMUNERATION 
GOVERNANCE

The Directors believe the Company is not 
currently of a size nor are its affairs of such 
complexity as to warrant the establishment of a 
separate remuneration committee. Accordingly, 
all remuneration matters are considered by the 
full Board of Directors, in accordance with a 
nomination and remuneration committee charter. 
During the financial year, the Company did not 
engage any remuneration consultants.

3.   EXECUTIVE 

REMUNERATION 
ARRANGEMENT

The compensation structures are designed to 
attract suitably qualified candidates, reward 
the achievement of strategic objectives, and 
achieve the broader outcome of creation of value 
for shareholders. Compensation packages may 
include a mix of fixed compensation, equity-based 
compensation, as well as employer contributions 
to superannuation funds. Shares and options may 
only be issued to Directors subject to approval by 
shareholders in a general meeting.

The compensation structures take into account:

	V The capability and experience of the executive;

	V The executive’s ability to control the relevant 

segment’s performance; and

	V The Company’s performance including:

The short-term incentives (“STI”) program is 
designed to align the targets of the business 
units with the performance hurdles of executives. 
STI payments are granted to executives based 
on specific annual targets and key performance 
indicators (“KPI’s”) being achieved. KPI’s include 
profit contribution, customer satisfaction, 
leadership contribution and product management. 
The long-term incentives (“LTI”) include long 
service leave and share-based payments. Shares 
are awarded to executives based on long-term 
incentive measures and includes an increase 
in shareholders’ value. The Board reviewed the 
long-term equity-linked performance incentives 
specifically for executives during the year ended 
30 June 2022.

A.  CONSOLIDATED ENTITY 

PERFORMANCE AND LINK TO 
REMUNERATION

Remuneration for certain individuals is directly 
linked to the performance of the Company. A 
portion of cash bonus and incentive payments, 
including performance rights, are dependent on 
defined earnings per share targets being met. The 
remaining portion of the cash bonus and incentive 
payments are at the discretion of the Board.

The Board is of the opinion that the continued 
improved results can be attributed in part to the 
adoption of performance-based compensation 
and is satisfied that this improvement will 
continue to increase shareholder wealth if 
maintained over the coming years.

B.  VOTING AND COMMENTS MADE 

AT THE COMPANY’S 2021 ANNUAL 
GENERAL MEETING (“AGM”)

The Company received more than 99% of “yes” 
votes on its remuneration report for the 2021 
financial year. The Company did not receive any 
specific feedback at the AGM or throughout the 
year on its remuneration practices.

non-executive Directors’ fees and payments are 
appropriate and in line with the market. The

6. share-based Compensation continued…

The executive performance rights have been 
valued based on the Company’s share price as 
at the date of their approval for issue. A total 
valuation of $575,000 has been determined, 
assuming satisfaction of performance conditions 
in full and 100% vesting rate. 

It was put to the shareholders as an ordinary 
resolution, that, pursuant to and in accordance 
with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, 
Listing Rule 6.23.4, and for all other purposes, 
Shareholders approve the removal of the 
cumulative EPS condition attached to Tranche 
1 of the Director Performance Rights on the 
terms and conditions in the Notice of Meeting. 
The resolution was subsequently passed at 
the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 25 
November 2021. Accordingly, at 30 June 2022 
the Company assessed the likelihood tranche 1 
vesting to be 100%.

$103,374 in share-based payment was recorded 
as an expense in the statement of profit or loss 
and other comprehensive income during the year 
ended 30 June 2022 (30 June 2021: $88,293) in 
relation to the performance rights. 

In respect of tranches 2 – 3 of the performance 
rights, it was determined that, consistent with 
its conclusion at 30 June 2021, the achievement 
of the vesting conditions is unknown at this 
point in time noting the uncertainty surrounding 
the current COVID-19 economic environment and 
global macroeconomic uncertainty.  

As a result, no share-based payment was 
recorded in relation to traches 2–3.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

33

NOTE 1:  GENERAL INFORMATION
Vysarn Limited (“Vysarn” or “the Company”) 
is a listed public Company limited by shares, 
incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The 
Company is a for-profit entity. Its registered 
office and principal place of business is Level 1, 
640 Murray St, West Perth WA 6005.

The financial statements are presented in 
Australian dollars, which is the functional and 

presentation currency of the Company and its 
controlled entities (“the Group”).

The financial statements were authorised 
for issue, in accordance with a resolution of 
Directors, on 25 August 2022. The Directors have 
the power to amend and reissue the financial 
statements.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A.  STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE 
These financial statements are general purpose 
financial statements which have been prepared in 
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards 
(“AASBs”) (including Australian interpretations) 
adopted by the Australian Accounting Standard 
Board (“AASB”) and the Corporations Act 2001. 
These financial statements also comply with 
International Financial Reporting Standards as 
issued by the International Accounting Standards 
Board (‘IASB’). 

B.  BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements, except for cash 
flow information, have been prepared on an 
accruals basis and are based on historical costs, 
modified, where applicable, by the measurement 
at fair value of selected non-current assets, 
financial assets and financial liabilities. 

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in 
conformity with AASBs requires management to 
make judgements, estimates and assumptions 
that affect the application of accounting policies 
and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, 
income and expenses. Actual results may differ 
from these estimates. Estimates and underlying 
assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing 
basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are 
recognised in the period in which the estimate 
is revised and in any future periods affected. 
The judgements estimates and assumptions 
that have a significant risk of causing a material 
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets 
and liabilities within the next financial year are 
discussed in “Note 2AB” on page 41.

C.   GOING CONCERN
The financial statements have been prepared on 
the basis that the entity is a going concern, which 
contemplates the continuity of normal business 
activity, realisation of assets and settlement of 
liabilities in the normal course of business. 

The Directors have reviewed a budget/forecast 
and having considered the above, are of the 
opinion that the use of the going concern basis 
is appropriate and that the Company will be able 
to pay its debts as and when they fall due for the 
next 12 months. 

D.  ADOPTION OF NEW  

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The Company has adopted all of the new, 
revised or amended Accounting Standards 
and Interpretations issued by the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are 
mandatory for the current reporting period

Other than the changes described below, the 
accounting policies adopted are consistent with 
those of the previous financial year.

AASB 2019-1 Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards – References to the 
“Conceptual Framework”.
AASB 2019-1 amends Australian Accounting 
Standards to reflect the issue of the Conceptual 
Framework. The revised Conceptual Framework is 
applicable to annual reporting periods beginning 
on or after 1 January 2021 and early adoption 
is permitted. The Conceptual Framework 
contains new definition and recognition criteria 
as well as new guidance on measurement 
that affects several Accounting Standards. 
Where the Company has relied on the existing 
framework in determining its accounting policies 
for transactions, events or conditions that are 
not otherwise dealt with under the Australian 
Accounting Standards, the may need to review 
such policies under the revised framework. The 
application of AASB 2019-1 has not materially 
impacted the financial statements of the Group.

Note 2: Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies continued…

AASB 2019-5 Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards – Disclosure of the 
Effect of New IFRS Standards Not Yet Issued 
in Australia.
AASB 2019-5 makes amendments to AASB 1054 
Australian Additional Disclosures by adding a 
disclosure requirement for an entity intending 
to comply with IFRS Standards to disclose the 
information required by paragraph 30 of AASB 
108 (regarding disclosing the effect of new 
standards not yet issued) to IFRS Standards 
that have not yet been issued by the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board. AASB 2019-5 
mandatorily applies to annual reporting periods 
commencing on or after 1 January 2021 and will 
be first applied by the Group in the financial year 
commencing 1 July 2021. The application of AASB 
2019-5 has not materially impacted the financial 
statements of the Group.

AASB 2020-8 Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards – Interest Rate 
Benchmark Reform – Phase 2.
AASB 2020-4 amends AASB 4 Insurance 
Contracts, AASB 7 Financial Instruments: 
Disclosures, AASB 9: Financial Instruments, 
AASB 16: Leases and AASB 139 Financial 
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to 
provide financial statement users with useful 
information about the effects of the interest rate 
benchmark reform on those entities financial 
statements. AASB 2020-8 mandatorily applies 
to annual reporting periods commencing on or 
after 1 January 2021. The application of AASB 
2020-8 has not materially impacted the financial 
statements of the Group.

AASB 2021-3: Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards – Covid-19-Related 
Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021. 
AASB 2021-3 amends AASB 16: Leases to 
extend by one year the application period of the 
practical expedient added to AASB 16 by AASB 
2020-4. The practical expedient permits lessees 
not to assess whether rent concessions that 
occur as a direct consequence of the covid-19 
pandemic and meet specified conditions are 
lease modifications and, instead, to account 
for those rent concessions as if they were 
not modifications. The Standard extends the 
practical expedient to rent concessions that 
reduce only lease payments originally due on 
or before 30 June 2022, provided the other 
conditions for applying the practical expedient 
are met. AASB 2021-3 mandatorily applies to 
annual reporting periods commencing on or 
after 1 April 2021 and is available for earlier 
application. It will be applied by the Group in 
the financial year commencing 1 July 2021. The 
application of AASB 2021-3 has not materially 
impacted the financial statements of the Group.

E.  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements comprise 
the financial statements of the Group and 
its subsidiary as at 30 June 2022. Control is 
achieved when the Group is exposed, or has 
rights, to variable returns from its involvement 
with the investee and has the ability to affect 
those returns through its power over the 
investee. Specifically, the Group controls an 
investee if and only if the Group has:

	V Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights 
that give it the current ability to direct the 
relevant activities of the investee); 

	V Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its 

involvement with the investee, and 

	V The ability to use its power over the investee 

to affect its returns.

When the Group has less than a majority of the 
voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group 
considers all relevant facts and circumstances in 
assessing whether it has power over an investee, 
including:

	V The contractual arrangement with the other 

vote holders of the investee, 

	V Rights arising from other contractual 

arrangements, 

	V The Group’s voting rights and potential  

voting rights. 

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls 
an investee if facts and circumstances indicate 
that there are changes to one or more of the 
three elements of control. Consolidation of 
a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains 
control over the subsidiary and ceases when the 
Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, 
liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary 
acquired or disposed of during the year are 
included in the statement of profit or loss and 
other comprehensive income from the date the 
Group gains control until the date the Group 
ceases to control the subsidiary.

F.  ASSET ACQUISITION
Where an asset acquisition does not constitute 
a business combination, or when the optional 
concentration test under AASB 3 Business 
Combinations has been applied, the assets 
and liabilities acquired are assigned a carrying 
amount based on their fair values in an asset 
purchase transaction. No deferred tax will arise 
in relation the acquired assets and assumed 
liabilities, as the initial recognition exemption 
for deferred tax under AASB 112 Income Taxes 
applied. No goodwill will arise on the acquisition.

Depreciation
Depreciation is a systematic allocation of the 
depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life. 
The depreciable amount is the cost of the asset, 
less its residual value. An asset is depreciated 
from the date it is ready for use, meaning the date 
it reaches the location and condition required 
for it to operate in the manner intended by 
management. Depreciation is recognised in profit 
or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated 
useful lives of each part of the fixed asset item, 
since this most closely reflects the expected 
pattern of consumption of the future economic 
benefits embodied in the assets.

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

	V Plant and equipment: 2–10 years; 

	V Computer equipment: 3 years; and

	V Trucks, trailers and light vehicles: 4–10 years.

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual 
values are reviewed at the end of each reporting 
period and adjusted if appropriate.

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

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

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

Note 2: Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies continued…

G.  TRADE RECEIVABLES
Trade receivables are amounts due from 
customers for goods or services performed in the 
ordinary course of business. They are generally 
due for settlement within 30 days and therefore 
are all classified as current. Trade receivables are 
recognised initially at the amount of consideration 
that is unconditional which is considered to be 
fair value; none of the Group’s trade receivables 
contain a financing component. The Group 
holds the trade receivables with the objective to 
collect the contractual cashflows and therefore 
measures them subsequently at amortised cost 
using the effective interest method.

The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified 
approach to measuring expected credit losses 
which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance 
for all trade receivables and contract assets. 

To measure the expected credit losses, trade 
receivables have been grouped based on share 
credit risk characteristics and the days past 
due. The expected loss rates are based on 
existing market conditions and forward-looking 
estimates at the end of each reporting period. 

H.  INVENTORIES
Inventories, including raw materials and stores, 
work in progress and contract fulfilment costs are 
measured at the lower of cost and net realisable 
value. The cost of inventories comprises; 
expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories 
and the costs incurred in bringing them to their 
existing location and condition, including direct 
materials, direct labour and an appropriate 
proportion of variable and fixed overhead 
expenditure, the latter being allocated on the 
basis of normal operating capacity. Net realisable 
value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary 
course of business, less the estimated costs of 
completion and selling expenses.

I.  PLANT & EQUIPMENT 
Each class of plant and equipment is carried 
at cost or fair value less, where applicable, 
any accumulated depreciation. Historical cost 
includes expenditure that Is directly attributable 
to the acquisition of the items.

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

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of 
property, plant and equipment are determined 
by comparing the proceeds from disposal 
with the carrying amount of property, plant 
and equipment and are recognised net within 
other income / (expense) in the statement of 
profit or loss. 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.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued…

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

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

L.  TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES
Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts 
carried at cost which is the fair value of the 
consideration to be paid in the future for goods 
and services received, whether or not billed to 
the Group. Interest, when charged by the lender, 
is recognised as an expense on an accruals basis.

M. 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 
are measured using the best estimate of the 
amounts required to settle the obligation at the 
end of the reporting period. 

N.  BORROWINGS
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, 
net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings 
are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 
Any difference between the proceeds (net of 
transaction costs) and the redemption amount 
is recognised in the profit or loss over the period 
of the borrowings using the effective interest 
method. Fees paid on the establishment of 
loan facilities, which are not incremental costs 
relating the actual draw-down of the facility, are 
recognised as prepayments and amortised on a 
straight -line basis over the term of the facility.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities 
unless the Group has an unconditional right to 
defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 
months after the reporting date.

O.  EQUITY AND RESERVES
Share capital represents the fair value of shares 
that have been issued. Any transaction costs 
associated with the issuing of shares are deducted 
from share capital, net of any related income 
tax benefits. The share-based payment reserve 
records the value of share-based payments.

P.  REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from contracts with customers
The Group provides drilling services and hires 
drill rigs and related equipment to the exploration 
and mining industry pursuant to service contracts 
with a variety of clients in the sector.

The revenue associated with drilling contracts is 
recognised in accordance with AASB 15 Revenue 
From Contracts from Customers, that is in a 
manner that depicts the transfer of promised 
goods or services to customers in an amount 
that reflects the consideration to which the 
Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for 
those goods or services. Revenue from customer 
contracts is recognised upon satisfaction of a 
performance obligation under those contracts 
either over time in accordance with specified 
units of production (for example meters drilled 
or hours worked) or a point in time when risks 
and rewards pass to the customer under those 
contracts (for example the sale of certain items 
including consumables).

Dry hire revenue is recognised as the customer 
simultaneously receives and consumes the 
benefits, the Group has an enforceable right to 
payment and as such the performance obligation 
is satisfied over time.

For test pumping services provided under 
contract, revenue is recognised in accordance 
with a specified unit of production based on 
rates agreed to with the customer (for example 
activity completed or hours worked). 

For consultancy services provided under 
contract, revenue is recognised in accordance 
with a specified unit of production based on 
rates agreed to with the customer (for example 
project reports completed, or hours worked).

The Group has no material contracts where the 
period between the transfer of the promised 
goods or services to the customer and payment by 
the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, 
the Group does not adjust any of the transaction 
prices for the time value of money.

Contract Assets and Liabilities
AASB 15 uses the terms “contract asset” and 
“contract liability” to describe what is commonly 
known as “accrued revenue” and “deferred 
revenue.” Accrued revenue arises where work has 
been performed however is yet to be invoiced. 
Deferred revenue arises where payment Is 
received prior to work being performed and is 
allocated to the performance obligations within 
the contract and recognised on satisfaction of 
the performance obligation.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued…

Contract Fulfilment Costs
Costs generally incurred prior to the 
commencement of a contract may arise due to 
mobilisation/site setup costs as these costs are 
incurred to fulfil a contract. Where the costs are 
expected to be recovered, they are capitalised 
and expensed over the period of revenue 
recognition. Where the costs, or a portion of 
these costs, are reimbursed by the customer, 
the amount received is recognised as deferred 
revenue.

Contract fulfilment costs are capitalised as 
an asset when all the following are met: (i) 
the costs relate directly to the contract or 
specifically identifiable proposed contract; (ii) 
the costs generate or enhance resources of the 
consolidated entity that will be used to satisfy 
future performance obligations; and (iii) the 
costs are expected to be recovered. Contract 
fulfilment costs are amortised on a straight-line 
basis over the term of the contract, or a period 
of 12 months for long term contracts greater 
than 12 months in duration.

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

Government Grants
Government grants are recognised where there 
is reasonable assurance that the grant will 
be received and all attached conditions will 
be complied with. When the grant relates to 
an expense item, it is recognised as income 
on a systematic basis over the periods that 
the related costs, for which it is intended to 
compensate, are expensed. 

When the grant relates to an asset, it is 
recognised as reducing the carrying amount of 
the asset. 

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

Q.  BORROWING COSTS
Borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss 
in the period in which they are incurred.

R.  EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Wages, Salaries and Annual Leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries and annual 
leave are recognised and measured as the 
amount unpaid at the reporting date at current 
pay rates in respect of employees’ services up to 
that date.

Superannuation
Contributions to employee superannuation plans 
are charged as an expense as the contributions 
are paid or become payable.

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

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

Equity-settled Compensation
Share-based payments to Directors are 
measured at the fair value of the instruments 
issued and amortised over the vesting periods 
see v. The fair value of performance rights is 
determined using the satisfaction of certain 
non-market performance criteria (performance 
milestones). The number of share options and 
probability of performance rights expected to 
vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of 
each reporting period such that the amount 
recognised for services received as consideration 
for the equity instruments granted is based on 
the number of equity instruments that eventually 
vest. The fair value is determined using a Black 
Scholes or Hoadley pricing model.

Notes to the CoNsolidated FiNaNCial statemeNtsAnnual Report for the financial year ending 30 June 2022The Group initially 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. Estimating 
fair value for share-based payment transactions 
requires determination of the most appropriate 
valuation model, which is dependent on the 
terms and conditions of the grant.

This estimate also requires determination of 
the most appropriate inputs to the valuation 
model including the expected life of the 
share option, volatility and dividend yield and 
making assumptions about them, as well as an 
assessment of the probability of achieving non-
market based vesting conditions.

The probability of achieving non-market based 
vesting conditions of performance rights is 
assessed at each reporting period.

The Company has applied judgement in 
assessing the likelihood of achieving the 
performance milestones in relation to the 
performance rights issued in the period. 

Any modification on the terms of share based 
payments, the Group shall recognise, as a 
minimum, the services received measured at the 
grant date fair value of the equity instruments 
granted, unless those equity instruments do 
not vest because of failure to satisfy a vesting 
condition (other than a market condition) 
that was specified at grant date. This applies 
irrespective of any modifications to the terms 
and conditions on which the equity instruments 
were granted, or a cancellation or settlement of 
that grant of equity instruments. 

U.  FOREIGN CURRENCY 

TRANSLATION

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated 
into Australian dollars using the exchange rates 
prevailing at the dates of the transactions. 
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting 
from the settlement of such transactions and 
from the translation at financial year-end 
exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities 
denominated in foreign currencies are recognised 
in profit or loss.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued…

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

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

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

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

T.  SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
Share-based payments are measured at the 
fair value of goods or services received or the 
fair value of the equity instruments issued, if 
it is determined the fair value of the goods or 
services cannot be reliably measured, and are 
recorded at the date the goods or services are 
received. Share-based payment transactions 
are recognised in equity if the goods or services 
were received in an equity-settled share-based 
payment transaction, or as a liability if the goods 
and services were acquired in a cash settled 
share-based payment transaction. The fair value 
of options is determined using a Black-Scholes 
or Hoadley pricing model. The number of share 
options and performance rights expected to 
vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each 
reporting period such that the amount recognised 
for services received as consideration for the 
equity instruments granted is based on the 
number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued…

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

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

	V When the deferred income tax asset or liability 
arises from the initial recognition of goodwill 
or an asset or liability in a transaction that is 
not a business combination and that, at the 
time of the transaction, affects neither the 
accounting nor taxable profits; or

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

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

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

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

Tax Consolidation
The Group and its wholly owned Australian 
resident entity formed a tax-consolidated group 
effective 28 August 2019. As a consequence, 
all members of the tax-consolidated group are 
taxed as a single entity from that date. The 
head entity within the tax-consolidated group is 
Vysarn Limited.

Current tax expense/income, deferred tax 
liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from 
temporary differences of the members of the tax-
consolidated group are recognised in the separate 
financial statements of the members of the tax-
consolidated group using the “separate taxpayer 

within group” approach by reference to the 
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the 
separate financial statements of each entity and 
the tax values applying under tax consolidation.

Any current tax liabilities (or assets) and deferred 
tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the 
subsidiaries are assumed by the head entity in 
the tax-consolidated group and are recognised 
by the Group as amounts payable (receivable) to/
(from) other entities in the tax-consolidated group 
in conjunction with any tax funding arrangement 
amounts (refer below). Any difference between 
these amounts is recognised by the Group as an 
equity contribution or distribution.

The Group recognises deferred tax assets arising 
from unused tax losses of the tax-consolidated 
group to the extent that it is probable that 
future taxable profits of the tax-consolidated 
group will be available against which the asset 
can be utilised.

Any subsequent period adjustments to deferred 
tax assets arising from unused tax losses as a 
result of revised assessments of the probability of 
recoverability is recognised by the head entity only.

W.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 
Initial recognition and measurement 
Financial assets and financial liabilities are 
recognised when the Company becomes a party to 
the contractual provisions to the instrument. For 
financial assets, this is the date that the Company 
commits itself to either the purchase or sale of 
the assets (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted). 

Classification and subsequent measurement 
Financial Liabilities
Financial instruments are subsequently 
measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest methods.

The effective interest method is a method 
of calculating the amortised cost of a debt 
instrument and of allocating interest expense 
in profit or loss over the relevant period. The 
effective interest rate is the internal rate of 
return of the financial asset or liability. That is, it 
is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated 
future cash flows through the expected life of 
the instrument to the net carrying amount at 
initial recognition. 

Financial Assets 
Financial assets are subsequently measured at 
fair value through profit or loss. 

The initial designation of the financial 
instruments to measure at fair value through 
profit or loss is a one-time option on initial 
classification and is irrevocable until the 
financial asset is derecognised. 

Notes to the CoNsolidated FiNaNCial statemeNtsAnnual Report for the financial year ending 30 June 202240

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued…

Derecognition 
Derecognition refers to the removal of a 
previously recognised financial asset or financial 
liability from the statement of financial position.

Derecognition of Financial Liabilities
A liability is derecognised when it is extinguished 
(ie, when the obligation in the contract is 
discharged, cancelled or expires). An exchange of 
an existing financial liability for a new one with 
substantially modified terms, or a substantial 
modification to the terms of a financial liability 
is treated as an extinguishment of the existing 
liability and recognition of a new financial liability. 

The difference between the carrying amount 
of the financial liability derecognised and the 
consideration paid and payable, including 
any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities 
assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition of Financial Assets
A financial asset is derecognised when the 
holder’s contractual rights to its cash flows 
expire, or the asset is transferred in such a way 
that all the risks and rewards of ownership are 
substantially transferred. 

All the following criteria need to be satisfied for 
derecognition of financial assets:

	V the right to receive cash flows from the asset 

has expired or been transferred;

	V all risk and rewards of ownership of the asset 

have been substantially transferred; and 

	V the Company no longer controls the asset (ie, 
the Company has no practical ability to make 
a unilateral decision to sell the asset to a 
third party). 

X.  IMPAIRMENT OF  

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

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

Y.  GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (‘GST’) 

AND OTHER SIMILAR TAXES

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised 
net of the amount of associated GST, unless the 
GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax 
authority. In this case it is recognised as part of 
the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part 
of the expense.

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

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

Z.  ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS
In accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding 
in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 
2016/191, the amounts in the directors’ report 
and in the financial report have been rounded to 
the nearest one thousand dollars, or in certain 
cases, to the nearest dollar (where indicated).

AA. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS 

NOT YET ADOPTED 
Australian Accounting Standards and 
interpretations that have recently been issued 
or amended but are not yet mandatory, have 
not been early adopted by the Company for the 
annual reporting period ended 30 June 2022. The 
Company’s assessment of the impact of these 
new or amended Accounting Standards and 
interpretations, most relevant to the Company, 
are set out below.

AASB 2021-1: Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards – Classification of 
Liabilities as Current or Non-current.
AASB 2021-1 amends AASB 101 Presentation of 
Financial Statements to clarify requirements for 
the presentation of liabilities in the statement of 
financial position as current or non-current. AASB

Deferral of Effective Date.
AASB 2020-1 amends AASB 101 Presentation of 
Financial Statements to clarify requirements for 
the presentation of liabilities in the statement 
of financial position as current or non-current. It 
requires a liability to be classified as current when 
entities do not have a substantive right to defer 
settlement at the end of the reporting period. 

AASB 2020-6 defers the mandatory effective 
date of amendments that were originally made 
in AASB 2020-1 so that the amendments are 
required to be applied for annual reporting 
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 
instead of 1 January 2022. They will first be 
applied by the Group in the financial year 
commencing 1 July 2023.

AASB 2021-5 Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards – Deferred Tax related 
to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single 
Transaction. 
AASB 2021-5 amends AASB 112 Income 
Taxes to clarify the accounting for deferred 
tax transactions that, at the time of the 
transaction, give rise to equal taxable and 
deductible temporary differences. In specified 
circumstances, entities are exempt from 
recognising deferred tax when they recognise 
assets or liabilities for the first time. The 
amendments clarify that the exemption does 
not apply to transactions for which entities 
recognise both an asset and a liability and 
that give rise to equal taxable and deductible 
temporary differences. This amending standard 
mandatorily apply to annual reporting periods 
commencing on or after 1 January 2023 and will 
be first applied by the Group in the financial year 
commencing 1 July 2023.

annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 
January 2022 and will be first applied by the Group 
in the financial year commencing 1 July 2022. 

AASB 2021-7a Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards – Effective Date of 
Amendments to AASB 10 and AASB 128 and 
Editorial Corrections [general editorials]. 
AASB 2021-7a amends various standards,

Accounting Policies and Definition of 
Accounting Estimates.
AASB 2021-2 amends AASB 7 Financial 
Instruments: Disclosures, AASB 101 Presentation 
of Financial Statements, AASB 108 Accounting 
Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and

annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 
January 2023 and will be first applied by the Group 
in the financial year commencing 1 July 2023.

The likely impact of the above accounting 
standards not yet adopted on the financial 
statements of the Group is yet to be determined.

AB. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING 

JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND 
ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the financial statements 
requires management to make judgements, 
estimates and assumptions that affect the 
reported amounts in the financial statements. 
Management continually evaluates its 
judgements and estimates in relation to assets, 
liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and 
expenses. Management bases its judgements, 
estimates and assumptions on historical 
experience and on other various factors, 
including expectations of future events, 
management believes to be reasonable under 
the circumstances. The resulting accounting 
judgements and estimates will seldom equal the 
related actual results. The judgements estimates 
and assumptions that have a significant risk of 
causing a material adjustment to the carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the 
respective Notes) within the next financial year 
are discussed below.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering 
the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) 
pandemic has had, or may have, on the 
consolidated entity based on known information. 
This consideration extends to the nature of 
the products and services offered, customers, 
supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in 
which the consolidated entity operates. Other 
than as addressed in specific Notes, there does 
not currently appear to be either any significant 

Notes to the CoNsolidated FiNaNCial statemeNtsAnnual Report for the financial year ending 30 June 202242

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued…

impact upon the financial statements or any 
significant uncertainties with respect to events 
or conditions which may impact the consolidated 
entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or 
subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus 
(COVID-19) pandemic.

Allowance for Expected Credit Losses
The allowance for expected credit losses 
assessment requires a degree of estimation and 
judgement. It is based on the lifetime expected 
credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, 
and makes assumptions to allocate an overall 
expected credit loss rate for each group. These 
assumptions include recent sales experience, 
historical collection rates, the impact of 
the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and 
forward-looking information that is available. 
The allowance for expected credit losses, as 
disclosed below, is calculated based on the 
information available at the time of preparation 
as detailed in “Note 23” on page 55. The 
actual credit losses in future years may be higher 
or lower. 

Income Tax
The Company is subject to income taxes in the 
jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant 
judgement is required in determining the 
provision for income tax. There are many 
transactions and calculations undertaken during 
the ordinary course of business for which the 
ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The 
Company recognises liabilities for anticipated 
tax audit issues based on the Company’s current 
understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax 
outcome of these matters is different from the 
carrying amounts, such differences will impact 
the current and deferred tax provisions in the 
period in which such determination is made as 
detailed in “Note 7” on page 45.

Share-Based Payments 
The Company measures the cost of equity-
settled transactions with suppliers and 
employees by reference to the fair value of the 
goods or services received provided this can be 
estimated reliably. If a reliable estimate cannot 
be made the value of the goods or services is 
determined indirectly by reference to the fair 
value of the equity instrument granted. The 
fair value of the equity instruments granted 
is determined using the Black-Scholes option 
pricing model taking into account the terms and 
conditions upon which the instruments were 
granted as detailed in “Note 22” on page 52. 
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 profit or loss 
and equity. 

Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company has applied the following 
judgements that significantly affect the 
determination of the amount and timing of 
revenue from contracts with customers.

Revenue from customer contracts is recognised 
upon satisfaction of a performance obligation 
under those contracts either over time. For 
drilling services provided under contract, revenue 
is recognised in accordance with a specified 
unit of production based on rates agreed to 
with the customer (for example meters drilled 
or hours worked). For test pumping services 
provided under contract, revenue is recognised 
in accordance with a specified unit of production 
based on rates agreed to with the customer (for 
example activity completed or hours worked). For 
consultancy services provided under contract, 
revenue is recognised in accordance with a 
specified unit of production based on rates 
agreed to with the customer (for example project 
report completed or hours worked).

Dry Hire revenue is also recognised over a period 
of time based on set day rates for supply, as the 
customer simultaneously receives and consumes 
the benefits provided by the Company.

The sale of goods (consumables) is recognised at a 
point in time when control of the goods passes to 
the customer under those contracts (for example 
the sale of certain items including consumables). 

Mobilisation/demobilisation revenue are distinct, 
separately identifiable contractual performance 
obligations and are recognised as revenue upon 
completion of the mobilisation/demobilisation 
event, once this performance obligation has 
been satisfied.

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

Business Combination vs Asset Acquisition
Where asset acquisitions do not constitute a 
business, or when the optional concentration 
test allowed under AASB 3 Business 
Combinations has been applied, the carrying 
amount of assets acquired and liabilities 
assumed is based on their relative fair value. 
Entities may choose to apply or not apply the 
optional concentration test for each acquisition 
made. The optional concentration test is deemed 
to be met when substantially all of the fair 
value of gross assets acquired are concentrated 
in a single identifiable asset or group similar 
identifiable assets.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued…

On 1 October 2021, the Group completed the 
acquisition of Pentium Test Pumping Pty Ltd 
(“PTP”) (formerly Australian Groundwater Solutions 
Pty Ltd trading as Yield Test Pumping). Director 
judgement was required in order to determine 
whether the requirements of the optional 
concentration test had been met. The Directors 
procured an independent valuation report on the 
acquired assets of PTP in order to determine the 
fair value of plant and equipment assets acquired. 
Having considered the contents of this report and 
the suite of plant and equipment assets acquired, 
it was determined that the optional concentration 
test has been met and subsequently applied for 
this transaction. Therefore, the transaction was 
accounted for as an asset acquisition rather than 
a business combination. 

Contingent consideration, resulting from the 
acquisition of PTP, is valued at fair value at the 
the acquisition date as part of the consideration 
paid for the acquisition. When contingent 
consideration meets the definition of a financial 
liability, it is subsequently measured at fair 
value each reporting date. The determination 
of the fair value is based on the probability 
weighted average approach. The probability 
weighted value of the contingent consideration 
was then discounted to determine the net 
present value of the contingent consideration. 
$750,000 was recognised at the date of the 
acquisition of PTP and remains unchanged as at 
30 June 2022.

NOTE 3:  OPERATING SEGMENTS
Identification of Reportable Segments

The Group as at 30 June 2022 had three 
operating segments, as outlined below:

	V Pentium Hydro; 

	V PTP; and

	V Pentium Water. 

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

PTP and Pentium Water are new segments 
for the year ended 30 June 2022, having been 
respectively acquired and established in late 

2021. Both PTP and Pentium Water have not 
contributed revenue, results or assets in a 
material manner to warrant their classification 
as a reportable segment at 30 June 2022.

The Company has one reportable segment, 
Pentium Hydro which is one of the Group’s 
operational business unit. Revenue received 
from this business unit is received solely from 
external Australian customers. The major results 
of the Group’s operating segments are consistent 
with the presentation of these consolidated 
financial statements.

The Group derived approximately 71% (2021: 94%) 
of its revenue from contract with customers 
from 3 Tier-1 Mining Companies with operations 
based within the state of Western Australia.

Note 9: Earnings Per Share continued…

A.  ACCOUNTING POLICY FOR EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings or loss per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to the owners 
of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted 
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements 
in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.

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

November 2021. Accordingly, at 30 June 2022 
the Company assessed the likelihood tranche 1 
vesting to be 100%.

$103,374 in share-based payment was recorded 
as an expense in the statement of profit or loss 
and other comprehensive income during the year 
ended 30 June 2022 (30 June 2021: $88,293) in 
relation to the performance rights. 

In respect of tranches 2 – 3 of the performance 
rights, it was determined that, consistent with its 
conclusion at 30 June 2021, the achievement of 
the vesting conditions is unknown at this point in 
time. As a result, no share-based payment was 
recorded in relation to tranches 2–3.

NOTE 23:  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS &  

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

A.  FAIR VALUES
A number of the Group’s accounting policies and 
disclosures require the determination of fair value, 
for both financial and non-financial assets and 
liabilities. Fair values have been determined for 
measurement and/or disclosure purposes based 
on the following methods. Where applicable, 
further information about the assumptions made 
in determining fair values is disclosed in the 
Notes specific to that asset or liability.

i. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL 

INSTRUMENTS
Unless otherwise stated, the carrying 
amounts of financial instruments 
approximate their fair value. The carrying 
amounts of trade receivables and trade 
payables are assumed to approximate 
their fair values due to their short-term 
nature. The fair value of financial liabilities 
is estimated by discounting the remaining 
contractual maturities at the current market 
interest rate that is available for similar 
financial instruments.

ii. FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

Financial instruments carried at fair value are 
determined by valuation level, as determined 
in accordance with the relevant accounting 
standard. The different levels have been 
defined as:

	V Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in 
active markets for identical assets or 
liabilities;

	V Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices 

included within Level 1 that are observable 
for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. 
as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from 
prices); and

	V Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that 
are not based on observable market data 
(unobservable inputs).

There have been no transfers between levels 
during the current or prior year. 

All financial assets and liabilities carried at 
fair value are level 2 within the fair value 
hierarchy. With respect to specific financial 
assets and liabilities, the following valuation 
methods have been used:

Term receivables and fixed interest securities 
are determined by discounting the cash 
flows, as at the market interest rates of 
similar securities, to their present value. 

Other loans and amounts due are 
determined by discounting the cash flows, at 
market rates of similar borrowings, to their 
present value. 

Contingent consideration payable has been 
determined by discounting the cash flows, 
at market rates of similar borrowings, to 
their present value. The probability weighted 
pay-out method has been utilised by 
Management to determine the best estimate 
of expected cashflows arising as a result of 
the arrangement.

Other assets and other liabilities 
approximate their carrying value. The carrying 
amount of all financial assets and financial 
liabilities approximate their fair value at 
reporting date. 

B.  FINANCIAL RISK  

MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety 
of financial risks: market risk (including foreign 
currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk), 
credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s 
overall risk management program focuses on 
the unpredictability of financial markets and 
seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on 
the financial performance of the Company. The 
Company uses different methods to measure 
different types of risk to which it is exposed. 

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

C.  RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility 
for the establishment and oversight of the risk 
management framework. Due to the size of the 
Group, and its low nature of risk with respect 
to financial risk management, the Board is of 
the opinion that there is no need to establish a 
Risk Management Committee for developing and 
monitoring risk management policies. 

Risk management policies are established to 
identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, 
to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and 
to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk 
management policies and systems are reviewed 
regularly to reflect changes in market conditions 
and the Group’s activities. The Group, through 
its training and management standards and 
procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and 
constructive control environment in which all 
employees understand their roles and obligations.

i. MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk that changes in market 
prices, such as foreign exchange rates and 
interest rates will affect the Group’s income 
or the value of its holdings of financial 
instruments. The objective of market risk 
management is to manage and control 
market risk exposures within acceptable 
parameters, while optimising the return.

56

Note 23: Financial Instruments & Fair Value Measurement continued…

ii. FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

iii. INTEREST RATE RISK

The Company is not exposed to any 
significant foreign currency risk. The Group 
is exposed to currency risk on administration 
costs, purchases of spare parts and plant 
and equipment that are denominated in 
New Zealand dollars (NZD) and US dollars 
(USD). The Group does not use currency 
hedging for administration expenses as the 
receipts in NZD and USD are used to meet 
the liability obligations of the Group entities 
denominated in NZD and USD. 

The use of currency hedging for exposures 
relating to spare parts and plant and 
equipment purchases are assessed on a case 
by case basis. As at 30 June 2022, the Group 
is exposed to currency risk on administration 
costs, purchases of spare parts and plant 
and equipment that are denominated in 
New Zealand dollars (NZD) and US dollars 
(USD). During the financial year ended 30 
June 2022, the Group did not enter into any 
forward foreign currency contracts.

Exposure to interest rate risk arises on 
financial assets and financial liabilities 
recognised at the end of the reporting period 
whereby a future change in interest rates will 
affect future cash flows or the fair value of 
fixed rate financial instruments. The Group is 
also exposed to earnings volatility on floating 
rate instruments.

The financial instruments which primarily 
expose the Group to interest rate risk are 
borrowings and cash and cash equivalents. 
The Group manages its exposure to changes 
in interest rates on borrowings by using 
a mix of fixed and floating rate debt. The 
Group is exposed to movements in market 
interest rates on short term deposits. The 
Directors monitor the Group’s cash position 
relative to the expected cash requirements. 
Where appropriate, surplus funds are placed 
on deposit earning higher interest. 

The Company’s only exposure to interest 
rate risk is in relation to deposits held. 
Deposits are held with reputable banking 
financial institutions.

iv. OPERATIONAL RISK 

	V Compliance with regulatory and other legal 

57

Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect 
loss arising from a wide variety of causes 
associated with the Group’s processes, 
personnel, technology and infrastructure, 
and from external factors other than credit, 
market and liquidity risks such as those 
arising from legal and regulatory requirements 
and generally accepted standards of 
corporate behaviour. Operational risks arise 
from all of the Group’s operations.

The Group’s objective is to manage 
operational risk so as to balance the 
avoidance of financial losses and damage 
to the Group’s reputation with overall cost 
effectiveness and to avoid control procedures 
that restrict initiative and creativity. The 
primary responsibility for the development 
and implementation of controls to address 
operational risk is assigned to senior 
management within each business unit. 

This responsibility is supported by the 
development of overall Group standards for 
the management of operational risk in the 
following areas:

	V Requirements for appropriate segregation 

of duties, including the independent 
authorisations of transactions;

	V Requirements for the reconciliation and 

monitoring of transactions;

requirements;

	V Documentation of controls and 

procedures;

	V Requirements for the periodic assessment 

of operational risks faced, and the 
competency of personnel, adequacy of 
controls and risk management procedures 
to address the risks identified;

	V Training and professional development;

	V Ethical and business standards; and

	V Risk mitigation, including insurance where 

this is effective.

v. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 

The Board’s policy is to maintain adequate 
capital so as to maintain investor, creditor 
and market confidence and to sustain future 
development of the business. 

The Group’s debt and capital structure 
includes ordinary share capital and loans 
and borrowings. The Group is not subject 
to externally imposed capital requirements. 
Management effectively manages the Group’s 
capital by assessing the Group’s financial 
risk 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 and share issues.

vi.  CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Group’s debt-to-adjusted capital ratio at the end of the reporting period was as follows:

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

Management has established a credit 
policy under which each new customer and 
counterparties to transactions are analysed 
individually for creditworthiness before the 
Group’s standard payment and delivery terms 
and conditions are offered. The Group’s review 
includes the use of external ratings, when 
available. Such monitoring is used in assessing 
receivables for impairment. 

Risk is also minimised through investing surplus 
funds in financial institutions that maintain 
a high credit rating at least “A-“. The Group’s 
exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by 
the individual credit characteristics of each 
customer. 100% of revenue is attributable to 
Australian entities. 

Details with respect to credit risk of trade and 
other receivables are provided below. Trade 
and other receivables that are neither past 
due nor impaired are considered to be of high 
credit quality. Aggregates of such amounts are 
detailed below. 

Notes to the CoNsolidated FiNaNCial statemeNtsAnnual Report for the financial year ending 30 June 2022 
58

Note 23: Financial Instruments & Fair Value Measurement continued…

Impairment of Financial Assets
The Group hold trade receivables that are 
subject to the expected credit loss model. While 
cash and cash equivalents are also subject to 
the impairment requirements of AASB 9, the 
identified impairment loss was immaterial.

Trade Receivables 
The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified 
approach to measuring the expected credit 
losses which uses a lifetime expected loss 

allowance for all trade receivables. The expected 
credit losses have been grouped based on 
shared credit risk characteristics and the days 
past due.

The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect 
current and forward- looking information on 
macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of 
the customers to settle the receivables.

On that basis, the loss allowance as at 30 June 
2022 and 1 July 2021 was determined as follows 
for trade receivables:

Trade receivables are written off when there is 
no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators 
that there is no reasonable expectation of 
recovery include, amongst others, the failure of 
a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the 
Group and failure to make contractual payments 
for a period of greater than 120 days past due. 

Impairment losses on trade receivables are 
presented as net impairment losses within 
operating profit. Subsequent recoveries of 
amounts previously written off are credited 
against the same line item. The Group has not 
recognised and impairment losses recognised 
in the statement of profit or loss as at 30 June 

2022 arising from contracts with customers. 
The Group’s receivables consist of Tier 1/Tier 
2 Mining companies on 30-day net terms with 
no noted debtor payment issues to date since 
commencement of current activities.

Exposure to Credit Risk
The carrying amount of the Group’s financial 
assets represents the maximum credit exposure. 
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because 
the counterparties are banks with a minimum 
credit rating of AA assigned by reputable credit 
rating agencies. The Group’s maximum exposure 
to credit risk at the reporting date was:

Note 23: Financial Instruments & Fair Value Measurement continued…

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risks arises from the possibility that the 
Company might encounter difficulty in settling 
its debts or otherwise meeting its obligation 
related to financial liabilities. Vigilant liquidity 
risk management requires the Company to 
maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash 
and cash equivalents) to be able to pay debts as 
and when they become due and payable.

The Company manages liquidity risk by 
maintaining adequate cash reserves and 
continuously monitoring actual and forecast 
cash flows.

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

NOTE 25:  ACQUISITION OF PTP

SUMMARY OF ASSET ACQUISITION 
On 29 September 2021 the Company entered 
into a binding Share Sale Agreement for the 
acquisition of 100% of the issued capital of 
PTP. Under the terms of the acquisition, the 
Company acquired 100% of the issued shares 
in PTP for consideration of 5,000,000 Vysarn 
shares and $2,500,000 cash, adjusted for post 
working capital adjustments (herein referred to 
as the “Transaction”).

The Company assumed control of the 
trading activities of PTP with effect from 
commencement of trade on 1 October 2021. 
On 23 November 2021 the Company issued 

5,000,000 Shares to the vendors of PTP as part 
consideration for all of the issued capital of PTP. 

PTP is an Australian company. The primary 
reason for the Transaction was to vertically 
integrate this service offering into the Company’s 
existing waterwell bore drilling operation.

Having reviewed the terms of the Transaction, 
the Group elected to apply the optional 
concentration test in assessing its acquisition 
of PTP. This has resulted in the acquisition being 
accounted for as an asset acquisition rather than 
a business combination. Details of the purchase 
consideration and assigned fair value of assets 
and liabilities acquired are as follows:

A.  PURCHASE CONSIDERATION
Cash paid (net of working capital adjustments)

CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION PAYABLE
In accordance with the Share Sale Agreement, 
the previous Managing Director and majority 
shareholder (the “Executive”) of PTP agreed to 
enter into an executive employment agreement 
for a term of three years, to lead and grow the 
business under Vysarn’s ownership. Under the 
terms of his agreement, the Executive may 
be entitled to an Annual Incentive Payment 
(“AIP”) of up to $750,000 across the three year 
term, subject to achievement of the following 
“minimum benchmarks” by the end of each 
relevant financial year:

	V Year one: A minimum benchmark of $650,000 
in Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation 
and Amortisation (“EBITDA”) operating one test 
pumping rig;

	V Year two: A minimum benchmark of $1,200,000 
in EBITDA operating two test pumping rigs; 
and

	V Year three: A minimum benchmark of 
$1,350,000 in EBITA operating two test 
pumping rigs.

In the event that the actual EBITDA earnings 
achieved in any financial year exceeds the 
minimum benchmarks, the Executive may retain 
the excess EBITDA in that year, up to a maximum 
of $250,000, for payment in future years over the 
three year term.

At the date of acquisition, Management 
have assessed the value of the contingent 
consideration based on the likelihood that the 
above minimum benchmarks would be achieved 
and recognised the amount payable in full at the 
date of acquisition.

As at 30 June 2022, the contingent consideration 
remains recognised in full as payable given 
Management’s expectations that the minimum 
benchmarks for payment of the AIP will be met 
over the three year period.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF

VYSARN LIMITED

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Vysarn Limited (the “Company”) and its controlled 
entity (the “Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as 
at 30 June 2022, 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, and notes to the financial statements, including a 
summary of significant accounting policies, and the Directors’ declaration.

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

(a)  giving a true and fair view of the Group’s consolidated financial position as at 30 June 

2022 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and; 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. Our 
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities 
for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group 
in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and 
the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 
110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) “the 
Code” that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled 
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which 
has been given to the Directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the 
Directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

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

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.

Revenue recognition
Refer to Note 2Q and Note 4 of the Financial Report

At 30 June 2022, plant and equipment 
totalling $31,701,407 represent a significant 
portion of the Group’s consolidated 
statement of financial position.

Management judgement in determining the 
key assumptions including revenue and 
cost projections supporting the expected 
future cash flows (“forecast models”) of the 
business and the utilisation of the relevant 
assets.

Our procedures included, amongst others:

Understanding and evaluating the design 
and implementation of the relevant controls 
associated with the recognition of revenue, 
including, but not limited to, those relating 
to identification of performance obligations, 
discounts, incentives and rebates.

Reviewing significant new contracts to 
understand their terms and conditions, 
including specified performance 
obligations included within and whether 
Managements’ assessment for recognition 
of revenue under these contract terms is in 
accordance with AASB 15.

sighting evidence of signed contracts, 
related invoices and comparing the 
revenue amount recognised to the timing 
of when the Group satisfies performance 
obligations associated with the transaction 
in accordance with AASB 15.

Share-based Payments
Refer to Note 2V and Note 22 of the Financial Report

At 30 June 2022, a share-based payment 
expense of $103,374 has been recorded. 
Share-based payments involve significant 
Management estimates and judgement in 
their determination.

Share-based payments must be recorded 
at fair value of the service provided, or in 
the absence of such, at the fair value of the 
underlying equity instrument granted. In 
calculating the fair value there are a number 
of management judgements including but 
not limited to:

	V Assessing the probability of achieving key 
performance milestones in relation to 
vesting conditions; and

	V Assessing the fair value of the share 

price on grant date, estimate of expected 
future share price volatility, expected 
dividend yield and risk-free rate of 
interest.

Our procedures included, amongst others:

Understanding and evaluating the design 
and implementation of the relevant controls 
associated with the preparation of the 
valuation model used to assess the fair 
value of share-based payments, including 
in relation to volatility of the underlying 
security and the appropriateness of the 
model used for valuation.

Critically evaluating and challenging 
the methodology and assumptions of 
management in their preparation of 
valuation model, including management’s 
assessment of likelihood of vesting, agreeing 
inputs to internal and external sources of 
information as appropriate, which includes 
below but not limited to:

	V Estimating the likelihood that the equity 

instruments will vest;

	V Estimating expected future share price 

volatility;

	V Expected dividend yield; and 
	V Risk-free rate of interest. 

Assessing the appropriateness of 
sharebased payment expensed during 
the year pursuant to the requirements of 
Australian Accounting Standards.

Assessing the Group’s accounting policy as 
set out within Note 2V and disclosures within 
Note 22 for compliance with the requirements 
of AASB 2 Share-based Payment.

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the 
information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022, but does 
not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

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

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

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

VYSARN LIMITED

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

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

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of 
the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going 
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend 
to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or 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.

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

	V Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether 

due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and 
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for 
one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

	V Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design 

audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of 
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

	V Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of 

accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

	V Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of 

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

	V 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.

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

TO THE MEMBERS OF

VYSARN LIMITED

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

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

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

Opinion on the Remuneration Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the
