2. Brief Explanation of the Result
The mining slowdown has affected our profits especially in Western Australia (WA) and Queensland. WA business continues to grow but at lower margins. This is partly helped by the new 12L and 5L PET bottles which we started to blow-mould ourselves.
Victoria’s profit has declined mainly because of one-off costs to relocate our Melbourne factory to bigger premises. All expenses have been reflected in the first half financials and we expect to see Victoria achieving normal profitability again in the second half.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Your directors submit their report for the half-year ended 31 December 2014.
DIRECTORS
The names of the directors of the Company in office at the date of this report or during the half-year are:
Henry Heng Nicholas Mun Yew Chan Eddie Kwong Choon Soong Roy Chee Heong Ong Jamie Gee Choo Khoo (Resigned 12 September 2014)
REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
51% of Refresh Waters Queensland Pty Ltd was sold to Saisan Co Ltd as from 1 January 2014. It is now equity-accounted and the financials no longer consolidated with the rest of Refresh Group Ltd accounts. The slowdown in mining has impacted our Queensland operations resulting in declining revenue. Additional costs were also incurred in relation to the need for separate audit because it is now a foreign company. In addition, costs were incurred relating to the visa application for one of the Japanese directors to be based in Brisbane.
Western Australia was also affected by the mining slowdown. While revenue continues to grow, we had to sacrifice margins to achieve this. To stay competitive, Refresh will continue to upgrade our plant and equipment so as to be able to produce at a much lower cost. Perth now produces our own 15L, 12L and 5L PET bottles and cost savings would filter through progressively. Brisbane will replicate the same soon. A new integrated blow-moulding and filling line capable of producing 300ml to 1.5L will be installed in Perth in the next few months.
Our factory in Melbourne was moved into a much bigger premise on 1 July 2014. Expenses relating to the move is one-off but has severely impacted its bottom-line. Besides having to pay for moving, we had to make good the previous factory to its original condition.
New South Wales did a lot better in the first half thanks to an increase in sales of bulk distilled water, one of our more profitable products. Profit increased by 128% to $62k.
Detailed results of the various operating segments are found in Note 4(f) Operating Segment.

REFRESH GROUP LIMITED – HALF YEAR REPORT NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
The financial report of Refresh Group Limited for the half-year ended 31 December 2014 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 20 February 2015. Refresh Group Limited is a company incorporated in Australia and limited by shares which are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The Group offers complete drinking water solutions. Its principal activities are the production and/or distribution of bottled water, coolers and filtration systems. Being the largest producer of distilled water in Australia, it also supplies pure water for commercial and industrial use.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The half-year financial report does not include all of the notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial report.
The half-year financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual Financial Report of Refresh Group Limited as at 30 June 2014.
It is also recommended that the half-year financial report be considered together with any public announcements made by Refresh Group Limited and its controlled entities during the half-year ended 31 December 2014 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations arising under the Corporations Act 2001.
(a) Basis of preparation
The half-year consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirement of the Corporations Act 2001, applicable Accounting Standards, including AASB134 Interim Financial Reporting and other mandatory professional reporting requirements. The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the company’s 2014 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2014, except for the impact of the Standards and Interpretations described below. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
For the purpose of preparing the half-year financial report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.
The comparative Profit & Loss and Comprehensive income has been restated to reflect the impact of the discontinued operation.
(b) Significant accounting policies
The half-year consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the last annual financial statements for the year to 30 June 2014.
The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the Group for the purposes of preparation of these halfyear consolidated financial statements.
(c) Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards and New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods
During the current year the Group adopted all of the new and revised Australian Accounting Standards applicable to its operations which became mandatory. The adoption of these standards did not impact significantly on the recognition, measurement and disclosure of certain transactions.
The AASB has also issued a number of new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods, some of which are relevant to the Group. The Group has decided not to early adopt any of the new and amended pronouncements. The Group’s assessment is that these amendments are not expected to significantly affect the Group.
8
REFRESH GROUP LIMITED – HALF YEAR REPORT NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
(d) Basis of consolidation
The half-year consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Refresh Group Limited and its controlled subsidiaries (the Group).
(e) Going Concern
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Group has $902k of available cash as at 31 Dec 14 and there is no borrowing at all. Therefore, going concern is not an issue.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net profit/(loss) for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders (after deducting interest on the convertible redeemable preference shares) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year (adjusted for the effects of dilutive options and dilutive convertible non-cumulative redeemable preference shares).
The following reflects the loss and share data used in the total operations basic and diluted earnings per share computations:

There have been no other transactions involving ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares since the reporting date and before the completion of these financial statements.
6. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Group performs goodwill impairment testing every half year. Goodwill is allocated to the Group’s cash generating units (CGU).
In accordance with AASB 136, “Impairment of Assets”, the Group performed its goodwill impairment test by comparing the recoverable amount of each CGU with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The recoverable amount of a CGU was determined based on value-in-use calculations. Value-in-use is calculated based on the present value of cash flow projections over a five year period including a terminal value. The growth rate assumptions of 7%, reflecting achievement of at least a long-term estimate of inflation in the region in which each CGU operates. Management prepared the value-in-use calculations with reference to historical results and forecasts for each CGU.
The discount rate for each CGU was estimated based on the Company’s weighted average cost of capital adapted for the regions in which the CGUs operate. The discount rate used was 15%.
Based on the impairment tests, impairment of intangible assets was not necessary and none has been recognised at 31 December 2014.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF REFRESH GROUP LIMITED
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Refresh Group Limited and its controlled entities (“the consolidated entity”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2014, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated cash flow statement for the half-year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other selected explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at half year’s end or from time to time during the half year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the consolidated entity are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report that it is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
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 financial report is not in accordance with the Corporation Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2014 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 Refresh Group Limited and its controlled entities, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the financial report.
A review of the half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for the 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.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the applicable independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

-
(a) the Corporations Act 2001, including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2014 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: “Interim Financial Reporting” and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and
