PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN NATURE OF ACTIVITIES

The principal activities during the half-year of entities within the economic entity were:

  • the manufacture and sale of specialist industrial cables

  • development of energy generation technology

REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The half year to 31 December 2015 continued to be very challenging for the group, with poor results reflecting the market downturn. EGY reported a consolidated loss after tax and minorities of $1,379,079 in comparison with the half year to 31 December 2014 result of a consolidated loss of $27,156. Overall revenue from operating activity at $4,907,800 was 8.5% down on the previous reporting period. EGY’s wholly owned subsidiary Bambach Wires and Cables Pty Ltd (BWC) reported a loss after tax of $1,093,353 compared to the reported loss for the six months to 31 December 2014 of $597,365. BWC continues to focus on the development of new markets and new and improved branded products with an amount of $360,000 accrued this financial year to date for FY2016 R&D, and a series of new cable products to be launched over the next six months.

The parent entity has reported a loss after tax of $284,870 (December 2014 half year profit after tax of $592,418).

During the period EGY raised $394,793 through equity issues as approved at the AGM held on 19 November 2015. In addition EGY issued 1,770 convertible notes, as approved by shareholders at the AGM held on 19 November 2015, with a face value of $1,000. Funds raised have been applied for specific factory capital expenditure and to meet working capital requirements. Subsequent to balance date 500 convertible notes were converted to equity, refer Note10.

The bulk of the losses for the half year occurred in the second quarter-October/November/December which saw sales slow dramatically at a time when sales are normally strong. The slowdown was unexpected and a combination of the continued decline in mining and a dearth of infrastructure projects.

At the time of writing the company has experienced a significant upswing in order intake over January/February and in general is experiencing much more robust market conditions as infrastructure projects finally start to come on stream. Whilst day to day sales remain sluggish, bidding for project work has escalated and more importantly projects are now finally being awarded initially to the major contractors and then by the contractors to their suppliers and subcontractors of which Bambach is one.

Funds raised by the company in November aided the company in handling the first half loss and the focus is now on building the business and sales to reverse the loss in the second half. Signs thus far have been encouraging with an uptick in orders for cables associated with both rail and road builds. Going forward the company is positioning itself for defence related contracts and other OEM contracts with major manufacturers. A regime of product development and testing is underway which will see new products ready for sale in 2016 with expected demand to occur in 2017 and picking up through the 2018-2022 period. Simultaneously the company is upgrading its production capabilities which will generate a 12-15% gross margin improvement over the medium term.

Energy Technologies Limited – Half-year Report

Directors’ Report (Cont’d)

The company has strategically positioned itself to supply to both civil and defence infrastructure projects in the belief that Australia must undertake significant infrastructure development to maintain its standard of living. These projects are now starting to occur with Sydney currently leading the way, but other states also have a large amount of projects to be undertaken. The growth of the company will follow the level of Australia-wide infrastructure and defence spend, aided by a low Australian dollar. With success at home, and a benign exchange rate, the company will then be well positioned to export quality and proven product for overseas projects.

In light of their firm belief in the company strategy the Directors intend to raise further funds through an equity issue before end of FY2016.

Energy Technologies Limited – Half-year Report

Notes to the Half –Year Financial Statements 31 December 2015

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT

(a) Basis of Preparation

These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2015 have been prepared in accordance with requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.

The half-year financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of Energy Technologies Limited and its controlled entities (the Group). As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half-year within the Group. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Report of Energy Technologies Limited as at 30 June 2015 together with any public announcements made during the half-year.

The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements, except in relation to some of the matters discussed at Note 1(b) below.

(b) Going Concern

The consolidated entity incurred a loss after tax and non-controlling interest of $1,379,079 (2014:$27,156) and incurred negative cash flows from operations of $1,181,409 (2014:$348,780) for the half year ended 31 December 2015. Furthermore, there was a 8.5% reduction in sales revenue from the comparative half year.

At 31 December 2015 the consolidated entity had a net deficiency of $873,226 including the recognition of deferred tax assets of $219,180 and intangible assets of $283,513. At balance date, current assets exceeded current liabilities by $1,166,294. Subsequent to the 31 December 2015, $500,000 of outstanding notes have been converted to equity, which further improves the financial position.

These matters give rise to a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ongoing operation of the consolidated entity is dependent upon it:

(a) achieving cash flow positive trading operations from its existing business;

  • (b) continued financial support from its current financiers and directors; and

(c) raising further equity or long term funding over the ensuing 12 months.

Management consider sales revenues were negatively impacted by the continued decline in mining investment and a dearth of infrastructure projects. To combat the impact of the mining downturn the company has embarked on increasing its non-mining range of cable products and to this end has brought two new product lines to market and has further lines undergoing development and testing to be ready for sale in 2016. It is expected that these new offerings will reverse the decline experienced in sales and generate a significant improvement in overall revenues.

Management have prepared a cash flow projection for the period to 31 March 2017 that supports the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern. The calendar 2016 budget on which the cash flow projection is based forecasts a 36% increase in sales revenues for calendar 2016 from the annualised HY2015 actual sales, and. The cash flow projection includes a 36% increase in sales over the annualised HY2015 result and assumes new equity investment of $1,000,000. A temporary revolving loan facility of $750,000 has been provided by the directors ($300,000 of which was contributed during the period). The facility will be repaid as funds permit. The projection forecasts the facility to be fully repaid from operating cash surpluses generated in the second half of calendar 2016.

Energy Technologies Limited – Half-year Report

Notes to the Half –Year Financial Statements

31 December 2015

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT (Cont’d)

(b) Going Concern (Continued)

The sales to date for the current half year fell short of budget by 21% however, based on unfilled February orders and job quotes submitted the Directors expect this to be timing difference only which will be made good in subsequent months. The Directors are still confident of achieving the calendar 2016 sales budget including expected sales from tendering to existing major suppliers and contractors, and winning major project works in NSW and later Western Australia and Victoria with respect to announced infrastructure projects.

Apart from the introduction of new products into both existing and new market segments, the company has embarked on an upgrade of its manufacturing capabilities. The Business Plan of the company calls for the installation of new equipment that will cut existing manufacturing costs by between 10-15% and simultaneously expand the size of cables able to be manufactured. The company has installed some of this equipment in December 2015/January 2016. The expected margin improvement of 3% from this first round of is reflected in the forecast from February 2016. The company intends to obtain investment funds for the next stage of equipment purchases in coming months.

Directors are in discussion with potential investors and their advisors and pursuant to those advices are confident of raising the necessary investment funds.

As a consequence of these matters, the Directors believe the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern and it is appropriate to prepare these financial statements on that basis.

In the event that the consolidated entity is unable to achieve the matters detailed above, it may not be able to continue as a going concern and therefore the consolidated entity may not be able to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the ordinary course of operations and at the amounts stated in the financial statements.

No adjustments have been made to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset values and the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the consolidated entity and company not continue as going concerns.

(c) New and Revised Accounting Requirements Applicable to the Current Half-Year Reporting Period

The Group adopted the following Australian Accounting Standard from the mandatory application date of 1 January 2015:

AASB 2014-1: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (Part E )

Part E of this Standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015 and defers the application date of AASB 9 (December 2010) to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. This part also makes consequential amendments to hedge accounting disclosures set out in AASB 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures, and to AASB 132: Financial Instruments: Presentation to permit irrevocable designation of "own use contracts" as measured at fair value through profit or loss if the designation eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch. Management believes that there will not be any significant impact on the Group's financial statements on adoption of this part of the Standard.

Independent Review Report To The Members of Energy Technologies Limited

Report on the Half-year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Energy Technologies Limited, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed 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 Energy Technologies Limited 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 control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the presentation of the halfyear 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 Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of an Interim Financial Report 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 Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 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 auditor of Energy Technologies Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review for 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. Our review did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by directors or management.

Matters Relating to Electronic Publication of the Reviewed Financial Report

This review report relates to the financial report of Energy Technologies Limited and its controlled entities for the half-year period ended 31 December 2015 included on the website of Energy Technologies Limited. The directors of the company are responsible for the integrity of the website and we have not been engaged to report on this integrity. This review report refers only to the subject matter described above. It does not provide an opinion on any other information which may have been hyperlinked to or from the financial report. If users of the financial report are concerned with the inherent risk arising from publication on a website, they are advised to refer to the hard copy of the reviewed financial report to confirm the information contained in this website version of the financial report.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

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 Energy Technologies Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 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.

Emphasis of Matter

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1(b) in the financial report, which advises that during the half year ended 31 December 2015 the consolidated entity incurred a net loss after tax of $1,379,935 and incurred negative cash flows from operations of $1,033,722. In addition, Net Liabilities at 31 December 2015 were $873,226. These conditions, along with the other matters set forth in Note 1(b), indicate the existence of material uncertainties which may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity's ability to continue as a going concern.
