Options

No options over issued shares or interests in the Company were granted during or since the end of the financial year and there were no options outstanding at the date of this report.

Events arising since the end of the reporting period

Subsequent to year-end, the company has issued $1,000,000 of convertible notes in EP & T Pty Limited at the same terms as the noteholders at 30 June 2020.

During the financial year, the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. The aggregated group has seen a significant impact on its business to date. The outbreak and the response of Governments in dealing with the pandemic is interfering with general activity levels within the community, the economy and the operations of the aggregated group’s business.

The scale and duration of these developments remain uncertain as at the date of this report however they are having an impact on the aggregated group’s earnings, cash flow and financial condition. It is not possible to estimate the impact of the outbreak’s near-term and longer effects or Governments’ varying efforts to combat the outbreak and support businesses.

The financial statements have been prepared based upon conditions existing at 30 June 2020 and considering those events occurring subsequent to that date, that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period.

The aggregated group has been eligible to participate in various government stimulus packages which have been implemented worldwide to provide relief from the impacts of COVID-19. At the date of this report, the Aggregated Group has received financial benefit totalling $568,684 in stimulus payments.

In September 2020, Mr Trent Knox was appointed as interim CEO of the Aggregated Group.

No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year, which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Aggregated Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.

Likely developments and expected results

Likely developments in the operations of the Aggregated Group and the expected results of those operations in the future financial years have not been included in this report as the inclusion of such information is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Aggregated Group.

Environmental legislation

The Aggregated Group’s operations are not regulated by any significant environmental regulators under a law of the jurisdiction it operates in.

Indemnities given to, and insurance premiums paid for, auditors and officers

Insurance of officers

During the year, the Aggregated Group paid a premium to insure officers of the various entities. The officers of the entities covered by the insurance policy include all Directors in the Aggregated Group.

The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of the Company, and any other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such proceedings, other than where such liabilities arise out of conduct involving a willful breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of their position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or someone else to cause detriment to the Company.

Details of the amount of the premium paid in respect of insurance policies are not disclosed as such disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract.

Notes to the Aggregated Financial Statements

1 General information and statement of compliance

1.1 Statement of Compliance

The Responsible Body have prepared the financial statements of the Aggregated Group for the year ended 30 June 2020 for the purposes of listing on the Australian Stock Exchange. The Aggregated Group is not a Consolidated Group as there is no direct ownership between the aggregated entities.

The Aggregated Group consists of the following entities:

  • EP & T Pty Limited (ABN 87 060 381 142)

  • EP & T Global Limited (UK)

  • EP & T Global Limited (HK)

  • EP & T FZ LLC (Dubai)

The aggregation has been performed as described in the accounting policies below.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements (established by AASB 1053 Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting Standards and AASB 2010-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Reduced Disclosure Requirements ).

EP&T Pty Limited and its Aggregated Companies is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

The aggregated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 were approved and authorised for issue by the Directors on 13 October 2020.

1.2 Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs unless otherwise stated in the notes.

3947672v1

10

EP&T Pty Limited Aggregated Group For the year ended 30 June 2020

1.3 Going Concern

The Aggregated Group has incurred a loss for the year after tax of $4,106,988 (2019: loss of $2,518,212), had net operating cash outflows of $1,730,339 (2019: outflow of $2,451,083) and as at 30 June 2020, current liabilities exceeded current assets by $3,690,266 (2019: deficiency of $1,175,947). As at 30 June 2020 the Aggregated Group has net liabilities of $3,814,026 (2019: net assets of $396,529).

The Responsible Body has reviewed their future cash flow requirements and note that the Aggregated Group has issued Convertible Notes with the following maturity profiles. On maturity, the notes plus any accrued interest are required to be redeemed in cash, unless they have been converted into equity prior to their maturity dates:

Month Face Value of Notes
Maturing
Callable $300,000
October 2020 $330,000
April 2021 $171,000
May 2021 $273,000
June 2021 $2,426,000
July 2021 $500,000
September 2021 $82,000
October 2021 $179,000
December 2021 $1,250,000
After 1 January 2022 $1,445,000

The Aggregated Group does not currently have sufficient cash reserves to fund the cash redemption of the Convertible Notes which mature within the period of 12 months from the date of signing this report, provided they have not been converted into equity prior to their maturity dates.

The notes automatically convert into equity in the event of an Initial Public Offering, Reverse Take Over or trade sale of the Aggregated Group (a Conversion Event). Management is actively pursuing completion of a Conversion Event prior to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes, however, in the absence of a Conversion Event within this timeframe then the Aggregated Group will need to achieve one of the following outcomes:

  • Negotiate an extension to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes with the note holders.

  • Raise external funding sufficient to repay the face value plus accrued interest on maturity.

During the year ended 30 June 2020, the Aggregated Group raised $2,324,752 (net of costs) of convertible notes from external investors. Subsequent to year end, a further $1,000,000 of convertible notes has been issued. The Aggregated Group is continuing to seek new capital through the issuance of further convertible notes to fund project installation costs and operating cash requirements. However the ability to satisfy these cash flow requirements is dependent on the Aggregated Group being able to generate positive cash flow through one or a combination of the following:

  • Continued support from the ultimate beneficial shareholder.

  • Raise new debt or equity capital.

  • Deriving revenue through new projects and recurring services.

  • Adjusting costs structures to a level which can be supported by existing contracted annuity revenue streams.

The Responsible Body are continually reviewing cost structures in its operating aggregated entities and making the appropriate changes to maximise their cash flow and profitability. While the Aggregated Group experienced

3947672v1

11

EP&T Pty Limited Aggregated Group For the year ended 30 June 2020

growth in its contracted projects base during the 2020 financial year, the rate at which this growth can be continued has to be balanced against the additional working capital demands selling and installing new projects place on the Aggregated Group. Installation of new projects awarded to the Aggregated Group during the 2020 financial year was impacted by COVID-19 restrictions which limited access to client sites. This in turn has delayed commencement of billing and subsequent cash receipt from customers. The Responsible Body believes that in the absence of available working capital to execute new projects and grow revenues, the cost base of the Aggregated Group is flexible enough to be aligned with the current contracted recurring revenue base and therefore enable operations to be self-funded on an ongoing basis.

As a result of the above matters, there is material uncertainty as to whether the Aggregated Group will continue as a going concern and, therefore, whether it will realise its assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the financial report.

Notwithstanding the above, the Responsible Body are confident they will be successful in one of or a combination of the above factors and on this basis the financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. Accordingly, no adjustments have been made to the financial report relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amounts and of liabilities that might be necessary should the Aggregated Group not continue as a going concern.

2 New or Revised Standards or Interpretations

New and revised standards that are effective for these financial statements

A number of new and revised standards became effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2019. The adoption of these standards has not had a material impact on the Aggregated Group.

New and amended standards adopted as at 1 July 2019

2.1 AASB 16 Leases

A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period and the group had to change its accounting policies as a result of adopting AASB 16 Leases. The impact of the adoption of the leasing standard and the new accounting policies are disclosed below. The other standards did not have any impact on the group’s accounting policies and did not require retrospective adjustments.

The aggregated Group’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies adopted in the aggregated Group’s last annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019, except as described below.

This note explains the impact of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases on the group’s aggregated financial statements and discloses the new accounting policies that have been applied from 1 July 2019 in note 2(b) below. The group has adopted AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach from 1 July 2019, but has not restated comparatives for the 2019 reporting period, as permitted under the specific transitional provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognised in the opening balance sheet on 1 July 2019.

Adjustments recognised on adoption of AASB 16

On adoption of AASB 16, the group recognised lease liabilities in relation to the property leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of AASB117 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of 1 July 2019. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 10%. The aggregated group had no leases previously classified as finance leases, and no leases classified as finance leases for the year ended 30 June 2020.

3947672v1

12

EP&T Pty Limited Aggregated Group For the year ended 30 June 2020

The associated right-of-use assets for property leases were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability using the “cumulative catch-up” method. The net impact on retained earnings on 1 July 2019 was $nil. The change in accounting policy resulted in the recognition of the following items in the balance sheet on 1 July 2019:

Of which were:
Current lease liabilities 430,166
Non-current lease liabilities 751,671
Right-of-use assets 1,181,837

The aggregated group’s leasing activities and how these are accounted for

Each of the entities which make up the aggregated group has an office lease. Office lease rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 3 to 5 years but may have extension options. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and can contain different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.

Until the financial year ended 30 June 2019, rental leases of property were classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) were charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

From 1 July 2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

  • fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability, and

  • restoration costs (where material and measurable).

3947672v1

14

EP&T Pty Limited Aggregated Group For the year ended 30 June 2020

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Lowvalue assets comprise IT-equipment and small items of office equipment or furniture.

Extension and termination options

Extension and termination options are included in property leases in the aggregated group, namely the office lease in Australia at 1 July 2019. These terms are used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing contracts.

Critical judgements in determining the lease term

In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated). The assessment is reviewed if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs which affects this assessment and that is within the control of the lessee. At 1 July 2019 the financial effect of revising lease terms to reflect the effect of exercising extension and termination options was an increase in recognised lease liabilities and right-of-use assets of $553,759.

2.2 Interpretation 23: Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

The interpretation addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the application of AASB112 Income Taxes. It does not apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of AASB112, nor does it specifically include requirements relating to interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax treatments. The Interpretation specifically addresses the following:

  • Whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately

  • The assumptions an entity makes about the examination of treatments by taxation authorities

  • How an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates

  • How an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances

The Aggregated Group determines whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or together with one or more uncertain tax treatments and uses the approach that better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty.

The Aggregated Group applies judgement in identifying uncertainties over income tax treatments. The Aggregated Group has assessed whether the interpretation had an impact on its aggregated financial statements and has concluded that it does not have an impact on the aggregated financial statements of the group.

2.3 Other Pronouncements

Other accounting pronouncements which have become effective from 1 July 2019, and therefore been adopted do not have a significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.

3 Summary of accounting policies

3.1 Overall considerations

The aggregated financial statements have been prepared using the significant accounting policies and measurement bases summarised below.

3.2 Basis of aggregation

The aggregated financial statements incorporate the financial information of each of the following entities:

  • EP & T Pty Limited (ABN 87 060 381 142)

  • EP & T Global Limited (UK)

  • EP & T Global Limited (HK)

  • EP & T FZ LLC (Dubai)

Consistent accounting policies are employed by each entity in the presentation and preparation of their financial information. All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the Aggregated Group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on aggregation.

Functional and presentation currency

The Aggregated Group financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars ($AUD), which is also the functional currency of the EP & T Pty Limited.

Foreign currency transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the respective Aggregated Group entity, using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions (spot exchange rate). Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the re-measurement of monetary items at year end exchange rates are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary items are retranslated at year-end using the spot rate.

Foreign operations

In the Aggregated Group’s financial statements, all assets, liabilities and transactions of Aggregated Group entities with a functional currency other than $AUD are translated into $AUD upon aggregation. The functional currency of the entities in the Aggregated Group has remained unchanged across the reporting periods.

On Aggregation, assets, liabilities and equity have been translated into $AUD at the closing rate at the reporting date. Income and expenses have been translated into $AUD at the average rate over the reporting period. Exchange differences are charged and/or credited to other comprehensive income and recognised in the currency translation reserve in equity.

3.3 Operating segments

Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM').

3.4 Revenue

Revenue arises mainly from the sale of energy saving equipment and services and contracts for the installation of such systems (Projects Revenue), after-sales monitoring (Contracted Service Revenue) and maintenance services (Service and Maintenance Revenue). To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Company follows a 5-step process:

  • Identifying the contract with a customer

3947672v1

16

EP&T Pty Limited Aggregated Group For the year ended 30 June 2020

  • Identifying the performance obligations

  • Determining the transaction price

  • Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations

  • Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.

The Company usually enters into transactions involving a package of the Company’s products and services, for example for the construction of the energy saving system and related after-sales service, monitoring and maintenance. In all cases, the total transaction price for a contract is allocated amongst the various performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. The transaction price for a contract excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Revenue is recognised either at a point in time or over time, when (or as) the Company satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to its customers. The Company recognises contract liabilities for consideration received in respect of unsatisfied performance obligations and reports these amounts as other liabilities in the statement of financial position. Similarly, if the Company satisfies a performance obligation before it receives the consideration, the Company recognises either a contract asset or a receivable in its statement of financial position, depending on whether something other than the passage of time is required before the consideration is due.

Projects Revenue – revenue from the sale of goods is recognized at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and cessation of all involvement in those goods. Revenue from the installation of the system is recognized over time based on percentage of completion assessed on costs incurred as a percentage of total installation costs.

Contracted Service Revenue is recognized over time as the services are provided to the customer.

Service and Maintenance Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the service or maintenance has been provided.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (GST) or Value Added Tax (VAT).

3.5 Operating expenses

Operating expenses are recognised in profit or loss upon utilisation of the service or at the date of their origin. Expenditure for warranties is recognised and charged against the associated provision when the related revenue is recognised.

3.6 Plant and equipment

Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured at cost less depreciation and impairment losses.

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 Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including building and capitalised leased assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to the Company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leased assets and leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

3947672v1

17

EP&T Pty Limited Aggregated Group For the year ended 30 June 2020

Class of Fixed Asset Estimated useful life
Leasehold improvements: 5 years
Plant and equipment: 4 years
Buildings (right of use asset): Lease term

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting period date.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Impairment testing is performed annually for intangible assets with indefinite lives and intangible assets not yet available for use. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

3.7 Leases

As described in Note 2, the Aggregated Group has applied AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore comparative information has not been restated. This means comparative information is still reported under AASB 117 and Interpretation 4.

Accounting policy applicable from 1 July 2019

The Group as a lessee

For any new contracts entered into on or after 1 July 2019, the Aggregated Group considers whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A lease is defined as ‘a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset (the underlying asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration’. To apply this definition the Aggregated Group assesses whether the contract meets three key evaluations which are whether:

• the contract contains an identified asset, which is either explicitly identified in the contract or implicitly specified by being identified at the time the asset is made available to the Aggregated Group

• the Aggregated Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset throughout the period of use, considering its rights within the defined scope of the contract

• the Aggregated Group has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use.

The Aggregated Group assess whether it has the right to direct ‘how and for what purpose’ the asset is used throughout the period of use.

Measurement and recognition of leases as a lessee

At lease commencement date, the Aggregated Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which is made up of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any initial direct costs incurred by the Aggregated Group, an estimate of any costs to dismantle and remove the asset at the end of the lease, and any lease payments made in advance of the lease commencement date (net of any incentives received). The Aggregated Group depreciates the right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the rightof-use asset or the end of the lease term. The Aggregated Group also assesses the right-of-use asset for impairment when such indicators exist.

At the commencement date, the Aggregated Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments unpaid at that date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate is readily available or the Aggregated Group’s incremental borrowing rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are made up of fixed payments (including in substance fixed), variable payments based on an index or rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and payments arising from options reasonably certain to be exercised.

Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability will be reduced for payments made and increased for interest. It is remeasured to reflect any reassessment or modification, or if there are changes in in-substance fixed payments. When the lease liability is remeasured, the corresponding adjustment is reflected in the right-of-use asset, or profit and loss if the right-of-use asset is already reduced to zero.

The Aggregated Group has elected to account for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets using the practical expedients. Instead of recognising a right-of-use asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to these are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

On the statement of financial position, right-of-use assets have been included in property, plant and equipment and lease liabilities have been included in trade and other payables.

3947672v1

19

EP&T Pty Limited Aggregated Group For the year ended 30 June 2020

Accounting policy applicable before 1 July 2019

Operating leases

Where the Aggregated Group is a lessee, payments on operating lease agreements are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Associated costs, such as maintenance and insurance, are expensed as incurred.

3.8 Financial instruments

Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Aggregated Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument, and are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured initially at fair value.

Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets

Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments are classified into amortised costs.

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses.

Classifications are determined by both:

  • The entities business model for managing the financial asset

  • The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables, which is presented within other expenses.

Subsequent measurement financial assets

Financial assets at amortised cost Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVPL):

  • they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows

  • the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.

3947672v1

20

EP&T Pty Limited Aggregated Group For the year ended 30 June 2020

Impairment of Financial assets

AASB 9’s impairment requirements use more forward looking information to recognize expected credit losses - the ‘expected credit losses (ECL) model’. Instruments within the scope of the new requirements included loans and other debt-type financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI, trade receivables, contract assets recognised and measured under AASB 15 and loan commitments and some financial guarantee contracts (for the issuer) that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The Aggregated Group considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument.

In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:

  • financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk (‘Stage 1’); and

  • financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low (‘Stage 2’).

‘Stage 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. ‘12month expected credit losses’ are recognised for the first category while ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ are recognised for the second category.

Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument.

Trade and other receivables and contract assets

The Aggregated Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables as well as contract assets and records the loss allowance at the amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. In using this practical expedient, the Company uses its historical experience, external indicators and forwardlooking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix. The Company assess impairment of trade receivables on a collective basis as they possess credit risk characteristics based on the days past due.

Classification and measurement of financial liabilities

The Aggregated Group’s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables and derivative financial instruments. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Company designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.

Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss (other than derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective as hedging instruments). All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included within finance costs or finance income.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are accounted for at FVPL.

3947672v1

21

EP&T Pty Limited Aggregated Group For the year ended 30 June 2020

3.9 Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of manufactured products includes direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overheads. Overheads are applied on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average costs.

Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

3.10 Income tax

The income tax expense for the year comprises current income tax expense and deferred tax expense. Current and deferred income tax expense is charged or credited directly to other comprehensive income instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to other comprehensive income.

Current tax

Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred tax

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused tax losses.

Current and deferred income tax expense is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent of existing taxable temporary differences that are likely to negate the effects of any deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses or unused tax credits.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

3.11 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

3947672v1

22

EP&T Pty Limited Aggregated Group For the year ended 30 June 2020

3.12 Equity, reserves and dividend payments

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.

Foreign currency translation reserve

Comprises foreign currency translation differences arising on the translation of financial statements of the Aggregated Group’s foreign entities into $AUD.

Retained earnings include all current and prior period retained profits.

Dividend distributions payable to equity shareholders are included in other liabilities when the dividends have been approved in a general meeting prior to the reporting date.

All transactions with owners of the parent are recorded separately within equity.

3.13 Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are benefits, other than termination benefits, that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. Examples of such benefits include wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Other long-term employee benefits

The Aggregated Group’s liabilities for annual leave, long service leave and end of service gratuity are included in other long term benefits as they are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made to employees. The expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service, and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the timing of the estimated future cash outflows. Any re-measurements arising from experience adjustments and changes in assumptions are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the changes occur.

The Aggregated Group presents employee benefit obligations as current liabilities in the statement of financial position if the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period, irrespective of when the actual settlement is expected to take place.

Post-employment benefit plans

The Aggregated Group provides post-employment benefits through various defined contribution plans.

3.14 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Provisions for product warranties, legal disputes, onerous contracts or other claims are recognised when the Aggregated Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required from the Group and amounts can be estimated reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain.

Restructuring provisions are recognised only if a detailed formal plan for the restructuring has been developed and implemented, or management has at least announced the plan’s main features to those affected by it. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required

3947672v1

23

EP&T Pty Limited Aggregated Group For the year ended 30 June 2020

in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.

Any reimbursement that the Aggregated Group can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is recognised as a separate asset. However, this asset may not exceed the amount of the related provision.

No liability is recognised if an outflow of economic resources as a result of present obligation is not probable. Such situations are disclosed as contingent liabilities, unless the outflow of resources is remote in which case no liability is recognised.

3.15 Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Value Added Tax (VAT)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST or VAT, except where the amount of GST or VAT incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST or VAT is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST or VAT.

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST or VAT components of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

3.16 Significant management judgement in applying accounting policies and estimation uncertainty

When preparing the financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

Significant management judgement

The following are significant management judgements in applying the accounting policies of the Aggregated Group that have the most significant effect on the financial statements.

Revenue recognition on projects

Revenue relating to the projects is determined with reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at reporting date and where the outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. Stage of completion is determined with reference to the services performed to date for performance obligations satisfied over time as a percentage of total anticipated services to be performed. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that related expenditure is recoverable.

Contract liabilities (deferred revenue) / contract assets (unbilled receivables) is therefore held in the Statement of Financial position depending on the stage of satisfaction of the performance obligation completed over time.

Recognition of deferred tax assets

The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised is based on an assessment of the probability of the Aggregated Group’s future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilised. In addition, significant judgement is required in assessing the impact of any legal or economic limits or uncertainties in various tax jurisdictions. Deferred tax assets have only been recognised for timing differences.

3947672v1

24

EP&T Pty Limited Aggregated Group For the year ended 30 June 2020

3.17 Estimation uncertainty

When preparing the financial statements management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results.

Information about estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses is provided below. Actual results may be substantially different.

Impairment

In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cash-generating unit based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate to discount them. Estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about future operating results and the determination of a suitable discount rate.

Revenue recognition on projects

Revenue relating to the projects is determined with reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at reporting date and where the outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. Stage of completion is determined with reference to the services performed to date for performance obligations satisfied over time as a percentage of total anticipated services to be performed. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that related expenditure is recoverable.

Useful lives of depreciable assets

Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical obsolescence that may change the utility of certain software and IT equipment.

Inventories

Management estimates the net realisable values of inventories, taking into account the most reliable evidence available at each reporting date. The future realisation of these inventories may be affected by future technology or other market-driven changes that may reduce future selling prices.

Provisions – Warranties

The amount recognised for warranties for which customers are covered for the cost of repairs is estimated based on management’s past experience and the future expectations of defects.

Provisions – Long Service Leave

As discussed in Note 1, the liability for long service leave is recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account.

3947672v1

25

EP&T Pty Limited Aggregated Group For the year ended 30 June 2020

Guaranteed Energy Savings

In accordance with certain contracts signed with customers, the Aggregated Group guarantees a pre-determined value of energy savings following the substantial completion of the contract. The savings are stipulated in the contracts based on the company’s engineering reports. The savings are guaranteed annually and generally for a period of five years. To date there has been no instances of energy savings guaranteed to clients not being met. Accordingly in the view of the directors, the possibility of any such amounts becoming a liability is remote and as such no liability or contingent liability has been reflected in the financial statements (see Note 24).

Fair value of financial instruments

Management uses valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments (where active market quotes are not available) and non-financial assets. This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how market participants would price the instrument. Management bases its assumptions on observable data as far as possible but this is not always available. In that case management uses the best information available. Estimated fair values may vary from the actual prices that would be achieved in an arm’s length transaction at the reporting date (see Note 15).

Provisions – stock obsolescence

The amount recognised for inventory obsolescence is estimated based on the nature of stock, primarily the provision is for slow moving items, which have become obsolete as newer stock is available.

EP&T Pty Limited Aggregated Group For the year ended 30 June 2020

The Group recognises lifetime expected credit losses for all trade and other receivables as these items do not have a significant financing component. In measuring the expected credit losses, trade and other receivable balances due from customers who have consistently failed to make payments within 180 days of invoice date but who are engaged with the Aggregate Group on alternative payment arrangements are assessed for expected credit losses on an individual basis. The remaining trade and other receivables have been assessed on a geographical basis as each territory can possess different credit risk characteristics. Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.

The expected credit loss for trade and other receivables as at 30 June 2020 was determined as follows:

EP&T Pty Limited Aggregated Group For the year ended 30 June 2020

The Group has leases for the main warehouse and related facilities, an office and production building, and some IT equipment. With the exception of short-term leases and leases of low-value underlying assets, each lease is reflected on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. Variable lease payments which do not depend on an index or a rate (such as lease payments based on a percentage of Group sales) are excluded from the initial measurement of the lease liability and asset. The Group classifies its right-of-use assets in a consistent manner to its property, plant and equipment (see Note 12).

Each lease generally imposes a restriction that, unless there is a contractual right for the Group to sublet the asset to another party, the right-of-use asset can only be used by the Group. Leases are either non-cancellable or may only be cancelled by incurring a substantive termination fee. Some leases contain an option to purchase the underlying leased asset outright at the end of the lease, or to extend the lease for a further term. The Group is prohibited from selling or pledging the underlying leased assets as security. For leases over office buildings and factory premises the Group must keep those properties in a good state of repair and return the properties in their original condition at the end of the lease. Further, the Group must insure items of property, plant and equipment and incur maintenance fees on such items in accordance with the lease contracts.

The table below describes the nature of the Group’s leasing activities by type of right-of-use asset recognised on balance sheet:

Lease expense during the period amounted to $378,278 (2019: $559,802) representing the minimum lease payments.

Lease payments not recognised as a liability

The group has elected not to recognise a lease liability for short term leases (leases with an expected term of 12 months or less) or for leases of low value assets. Payments made under such leases are expensed on a straightline basis. In addition, certain variable lease payments are not permitted to be recognised as lease liabilities and are expensed as incurred.

The expense relating to payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability is as follows:

EP&T Pty Limited Aggregated Group For the year ended 30 June 2020

25 Guaranteed Energy Savings

In accordance with certain contracts signed with customers, the Aggregated Group companies guarantee a predetermined value of energy savings following installation of monitoring equipment and the commencement of monitoring and reporting services. The Aggregated Group is obligated to pay the customer in cash for a shortfall between actual savings achieved and the guaranteed energy savings amount. The savings are stipulated in the applicable contracts and are based on modelled savings determined by the Aggregated Group’s engineers and technical services team. The timeframe for measurement of guaranteed ranges from annually to a maximum of 5 years as stipulated in the individual service contracts. For annual savings guarantees, a shortfall in guaranteed savings reimbursed to a customer can be recovered from any excess savings achieved by that same customer in future years. The guarantees are unsecured.

The maximum remaining savings guaranteed to customers and the timeframes for measurement are shown below:

Guarantee measurement date Within 12 In 1-2 In 3-5 Over 5 Total
months years years Years
Uncovered actual guaranteed savings * 51,265 450,092 6,365,722 - 6,867,079
  • Calculated as total guarantee amount less actual savings achieved to date

To date there have been no instances of energy savings guaranteed to customers not being met and accordingly no claims for payment by any customers have been received. Accordingly in the view of the directors, the possibility of any amounts disclosed above becoming probable and hence, actual liabilities, is considered to be remote.

26 Events After the Reporting Date

Subsequent to year-end, the company has issued $1,000,000 of convertible notes in EP & T Pty Limited at the same terms as the noteholders at 30 June 2020.

During the financial year, the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. The aggregated group has seen a significant impact on its business to date. The outbreak and the response of Governments in dealing with the pandemic is interfering with general activity levels within the community, the economy and the operations of the aggregated group’s business.

The scale and duration of these developments remain uncertain as at the date of this report however they are having an impact on the aggregated group’s earnings, cash flow and financial condition. It is not possible to estimate the impact of the outbreak’s near-term and longer effects or Governments’ varying efforts to combat the outbreak and support businesses.

The financial statements have been prepared based upon conditions existing at 30 June 2020 and considering those events occurring subsequent to that date, that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period.

The aggregated group has been eligible to participate in various government stimulus packages which have been implemented worldwide to provide relief from the impacts of COVID-19. At the date of this report, the Aggregated Group has received financial benefit totalling $568,684 in stimulus payments.

No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year, which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Aggregated Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Aggregated Group in future financial years.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Aggregated Group:

  • a presents fairly, in all material respects, the Aggregated Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its performance and cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 3; and

  • b Complies with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements to the extent described in Note 1.

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 Aggregated Group in accordance with the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We draw attention to Note 1.3 of the financial statements, which indicates that the Aggregated Group incurred a net loss after tax of $4,106,988 during the year ended 30 June 2020, and as of that date, the Aggregated Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $3,690,266. As stated in Note 1.3, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1.3, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Aggregated Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Emphasis of matter – basis of accounting

We draw attention to Note 3.2 of the financial report, which indicates that financial statements are prepared on an aggregated basis since 1 July 2015. They are not a consolidated group under AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. The financial statements of the Aggregated Group have been prepared for the purpose of listing on the Australian Stock Exchange in accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 3.

Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon

The Directors of the Responsible Body are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Aggregated Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, 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.

Responsibilities of the Directors’ of the Responsible Body for the financial report

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements. The Directors’ of the Responsible Body responsibility also includes such internal control as the Directors of the Responsible Body 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 of the Responsible Body are responsible for assessing the Aggregated Group’s ability 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 of the Responsible Body either intend to liquidate the Aggregated Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Aggregated Group’s financial reporting process.

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.
