REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

A summary of the consolidated revenues and results by significant industry segment is set out below:

Operating Cash Flow

Operating cash in-flow during the period totalled $5.483 million (prior corresponding period (pcp): $3.085 million in-flow). Net operating cash in-flow was positively uplifted through buoyant OMMA HFC volumes and improvements in underlying aged cash collections. This was partially offset from cash outflows associated with the closure of the HVAC Build operations in New South Wales and Victoria and OSR payments in certain states.

Balance Sheet & Funding

The net cash position (excluding right of use liabilities) at 31 December 2019 was $15.126 million compared to a net cash position of $16.268 million at 30 June 2019. Net tangible assets (including right of use assets) increased by $1.623 million in the six month period to 31 December 2019.

BSA | Connect

The BSA | Connect business unit revenue was $150.777 million, an increase of $33.114 million compared to the prior corresponding period of $117.663 million. This uplift was largely due to the nbn accelerated OMMA HFC volumes and expanded network maintenance service areas. Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) for the first half of $11.654 million was higher compared to the prior corresponding period of $8.638 million largely due to the realisation of strategic investments actioned to expand workforce capability.

BSA | Maintain

The BSA | Maintain business unit achieved a higher first half revenue of $59.607 million compared with $49.740 million for the prior corresponding period due to growth in the existing customer portfolio and new contracts secured and mobilised over the course of the period.

EBITDA in the first half totalled $0.915 million compared with $1.838 million for the prior corresponding period reflecting significant investment into operating model and regional expansion.

BSA | Fire Build

The BSA | Fire Build business unit delivered increased first half revenue of $48.505 million compared with $31.105 million for the prior corresponding period. BSA | Fire Build had an EBITDA profit of $3.906 million compared to $2.299 million for the prior corresponding period.

The Company has established a dividend reinvestment plan under which holders of ordinary shares may elect to have all or part of their dividend entitlements satisfied by the issue of new ordinary shares rather than by being paid in cash. Shares will be allotted or transferred under the DRP for a price which is equal to the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average market price (rounded to the nearest whole cent) of all fully paid shares of that class sold on the ASX (excluding special crossings and other categories reasonably determined by the Directors as distorting the fair market value of the shares) during the ten trading days commencing on the second trading day following the relevant Record Date, determined by reference to such information as the Directors approve for the purpose from time to time.

The DRP operated in respect of the half year ended 31 December 2019 distribution.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the Half-Year Ended 31 December 2019

Note 1. Significant accounting policies

(a) Statement of compliance

The Half-Year Financial Report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The Half-Year Report does not include notes of the type normally included in an Annual Financial Report and should be read in conjunction with the most recent Annual Financial Report.

(b) Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The Company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Instrument amounts in the Directors' Report and the Half-Year Financial Report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise indicated.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in preparation of the Half-Year Financial Report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Company's 2019 Annual Financial Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2019, except for the impact of the Standards and Interpretations described below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

(c) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

In the application of the BSA Limited’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

(d) New and amended accounting standards adopted by the Group

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 July 2019.

AASB 16 Leases

In the current year, the Group has applied AASB 16 Leases on a modified retrospective basis which came into effect 1 July 2019. Details of the new requirements of AASB 16 as well as the impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements are described below.

AASB 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for leases, excluding those that are classified as short-term leases or leases for low value assets, under a single on-balance sheet model similar to the accounting for finance leases under AASB 117. Lessor accounting under AASB 16 is substantially unchanged from previous accounting under AASB 117 and has no material impact to the Group.

AASB 16 requires contracts that contain leases for terms of more than 12 months to be recognised as assets measured as the present value of the expected future lease payments under the lease and any associated end of lease costs (make good) or upfront incentives as well as a liability measured by the present value of future lease payments and interest implicit in the lease. Over the term of the lease, the lease asset is depreciated on a straight line basis over the term while the liability is reduced as payments are made and increased by applicable interest amounts. Prior to AASB16, operating lease payments were expensed without recognition of an asset or liability for the total amounts payable over the lease term.

The Group applied the practical expedient in AASB 16 Appendix paragraph C3 that enables the Group to grandfather previous assessments, such that only leases that are leases on date of transition on 1 January 2019 are required to be assessed as a lease under AASB 16. The Group also applied a practical expedient for short term leases with an aggregate expense of $43,000 recognised in the period.

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (cont'd)

(d) New and amended accounting standards adopted by the Group (cont'd)

Impact on application

The Group has applied AASB 16, using the modified retrospective approach, with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard adjusted in the opening balance of equity and comparative figures are therefore not restated. The opening equity adjustment due to the application of the new standard is analysed by financial statement line item below.

Deferred tax assets 8,982 28 9,010
Total net assets impact 13,109 7,990 21,099

Accumulated losses (74,032) 624 (73,408)
Total equity impact (74,032) 624 (73,408)

Impact on the condensed interim consolidated statement of profit and loss

Had AASB 16 Leases not been applied and the financial statements were still produced under previous guidance, AASB 116 Leases and related interpretations, the financial report for the half year ended 31 December 2019 would have been impacted as follows:

  • the condensed statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019 would be impacted by reversing $8.0 million of transition adjustments to total assets and $7.4 million to total liabilities;

  • the effect on depreciation, interest and occupancy expenses for the 6 months to 31 December 2019 would be $2.1 million, $0.3 million and $(2.4)

  • million, respectively; and

  • the effect on both basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share was insignifcant.

Right of Use Liabilities

On adoption of AASB 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of AASB 117 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate as of 1 July 2019. The Group's weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 5.5%.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the Half-Year Ended 31 December 2019

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (cont'd)

(d) New and amended accounting standards adopted by the Group (cont'd)

Practical expedients

The Group has used the following practical expedients as permitted under AASB 16:

  • the use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics;

  • previous assessments on whether leases are onerous were relied upon;

  • initial direct costs excluded in the measurement of the right-of-use asset on date of initial application; and

  • operating leases with remaining lease terms of less than 12 months expensed as short term leases;

The Group also elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains a lease at the date of initial application.

For contracts executed before 1 July 2019, the Group relied on its assessment made under AASB 117 and Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.

Variable lease payments

No lease payments are based on variables that require estimation.

(e) Accounting policies newly applied

The following new or amended policies were applied in this half-year financial report:

Lease recognition

Contracts are assessed as containing a lease where right of control over identifiable assets over a period of time is conveyed in exchange for consideration. For such leases, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a right-of-use liability unless the lease is short term or of minor value where lease payments are recorded an an operating expense evenly over the lease.

The Group's lease portfolio is extensive with leases mainly for business premises, plant equipment and motor vehicles.

Presentation and measurement of right of use assets

Right of use assets recognised by the Group are presented within Property, Plant and Equipment along with owned assets by asset class. Initially, the right-of-use asset is measured with reference to the value determined for the associated right-of-use liability (refer below) less direct costs and any lease incentives. Expected end of lease costs such as make good are included in the right-of-use asset value determined at lease inception.

Thoughout the lease term (including extended terms where judged appropriate) right-of-use assets are depreciated and periodically assessed for

Presentation and measurement of right of use liabilities

Right of use liabilities recognised by the Group are presented within borrowings (current and non-current). Initially the right-of-use liability is measured as the present value of future lease payments discounted using an interest rate implicit in the lease or the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Future lease payments of leases may be influenced by lease incentives, incremental increases during the lease term, extension options (where reasonably certain that will occur) and residual value guarantees expected to be paid.

Over the lease term, payments made reduce the right-of-use liability balance while applicable interest is recognised monthly as interest expense and increases the liability balance.

Remeasurement of the right of use liabilities occurs when substantive elements of the lease change such as changes to the lease term or variation to amounts payable unedr the lease.

(f) New accounting standards not yet adopted

Other than the adoption of AASB 16 Leases, no new standards or amendments to accounting standard applicable to reporting periods commencing after 1 July 2019 are expected to have a significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

(a) AASB 8 Operating Segments

AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.

Information regarding these segments is presented below. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report to the Members of BSA Limited

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of BSA Limited, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019, and the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the Directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the entities it controlled at the end of the half-year or from time to time during the half-year as set out on pages 9 to 20.

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 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 gives a true and fair view and 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 Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report 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: giving a true and fair view of BSA Limited’s financial position as at 31 December 2019 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of BSA Limited, 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 other 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.

Auditor’s Independence Declaration

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 BSA Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the Directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation. Member of Deloitte Asia Pacific Limited and the Deloitte Network.
