PS&C Ltd Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2017

Note 1. Significant accounting policies

These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2017 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

These general purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017 and any public announcements made by the company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

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

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

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal trading operations. As at 31 December 2017, the group’s current liabilities exceed current assets by $17,897,316 primarily due to $13,202,026 of current borrowings, $9,156,843 of current contingent consideration and $2,150,575 of current deferred consideration. The group has renegotiated and extended its bank facility for a further two years. The contingent and deferred consideration represents the obligation to pay consideration following the acquisition of a business, some of which may be satisfied by way of an issue of shares in PS&C Ltd, rather than by cash. The group is expected to continue trading profitably, generating positive operating cash flows.

Note 2. Operating segments

Identification of reportable operating segments

The consolidated entity is organised into 3 operating segments: People, Security and Communications. Operating segments are determined by distinguishable components whereby the risk and returns are different from the other segments.

Types of products and services

The principal products and services of each of these operating segments are as follows:

People The People segment comprising Systems and People Pty Ltd, Bexton IT Services Pty Ltd, Sacon Group Pty Ltd, Coroma Consulting Pty Ltd and Glass and Co Pty Ltd is involved in providing specialist contractors, contractor management and permanent recruitment.

Security The Security segment comprising Securus Global Consulting Pty Ltd, Hacklabs Pty Ltd, Pure Hacking Pty Ltd and Certitude Pty Ltd is involved in services and consulting around cyber security matters. Communications The Communications segment comprising Allcom Networks Pty Ltd is involved in consulting and implementation of services around internet protocol telephony and network infrastructure.

Intersegment transactions

There were no material transactions between operating segments

Intersegment receivables, payables and loans

Intersegment loans are initially recognised at the consideration received. Intersegment loans receivable and loans payable that earn or incur non-market interest are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates. Intersegment loans are eliminated on consolidation.

The net assets recognised in the 30 June 2017 financial statements was based on a provisional fair value assessment of the entities acquired in June 2017. The final assessment had not been completed by the date the 2017 financial statements were approved for issue by the Board. The fair value assessment has now revised and therefore the 30 June 2017 comparative information has been updated to reflect adjustments to the provisional amounts. As a result, the following changes have arisen:

Increase in net assets of entities acquired: $113,974 Increase in deferred consideration liability: $710,000 Increase in goodwill: $596,026

PS&C undertakes impairment testing of the relevant businesses as required. Impairment testing was performed at 31 December 2017 to support the carrying value of goodwill. The recoverable amount was based on its value in use, determined by discounting future cash flows to be generated from the continuing use of the business. Management's determination of cash flow projections and gross margins are based on past performance and its expectation for the future. The present value of future cash flows has been calculated using projected cashflows approved by the board covering year 1. The present value of future cash flows for years 2 to 5 have been calculated using a terminal growth rate of 3% (Jun 2017: 3%) and a discount rate of 14.55% (Jun 2017: 12%) has been used to determine value in use. In addition, average EBITDA growth rates used for years 2 to 5 were: People: 7% Security: 6% Communications: 6%

The estimated recoverable amount exceeded/(did not exceed) the carrying value for each CGU by the following amounts:

PS&C Ltd Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2017

Note 12. Business combinations (continued)

On 28 June 2017 PS&C Ltd acquired 100% of the ordinary shares of Sacon Group Pty Ltd. This is an IT consulting business and operates in the People division of the consolidated entity. Details of the purchase consideration, the net assets acquired and goodwill are set out below. The goodwill of $10,165,180 represents the amount of consideration paid for the business acquisition less fair value of net assets, plus additional amounts paid for performance, both current and implied by forecasts. The acquired business contributed no revenues or profit from 28 June 2017 to 30 June 2017. If the acquisition occurred on 1 July 2016, the full year contribution would have been profit after tax of $443,396. Under the terms of the agreement, the parent entity may have to pay more (or less) than what has been provided for in contingent consideration if the entity's operating performance is better (or worse) than forecast for the purposes of calculating contingent consideration. The Directors are still assessing any potential impacts to the total consideration transferred whilst within the measurement period.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PS&C LIMITED

==> picture [174 x 110] intentionally omitted <==

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of PS&C Limited ( the company ), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

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

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standards on Review Engagements ASRE 2410: Review of Interim and Other Financial Reports Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • a. giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b. complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

As the auditor of the company, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

==> picture [501 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [171 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . 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 provided to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of the company is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • a. giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b. complying with AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
