Notes to the Consolidated Financial

Statements

1 General information and basis of preparation

Basis of preparation

The Responsible Body have prepared the condensed interim financial statements of the Aggregated Group for the half year ended 31 December 2020 for the purposes of listing on the Australian Securities 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 general purpose interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting . They do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, and should be read in conjunction with the aggregated group financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020.

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

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for the adoption of new and amended standards as set out below.

The aggregated interim financial statements have been approved and authorised for issue by the Directors on xx March 2021.

2 New or Revised Standards or Interpretations

Accounting pronouncements which have become effective from 1 July 2020 and have therefore been adopted do not have a significant impact on the Aggregated Group’s financial results or position.

At the date of authorisation of these consolidated financial statements, several new, but not yet effective, Standards and amendments to existing Standards, and Interpretations have been published by the IASB. None of these Standards or amendments to existing Standards have been adopted early by the Aggregated Group. Management anticipates that all relevant pronouncements will be adopted for the first period beginning on or after the effective date of the pronouncement. New Standards, amendments and Interpretations not adopted in the current year have not been disclosed as they are not expected to have a material impact on the Aggregated Group’s financial statements.

3 Estimates

When preparing the interim 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.

The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the interim financial statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the aggregated Group’s last annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020.

4 Going concern

The Aggregated Group has incurred a loss after tax for the half year ended December 2020 of $2,885,347 (half year 2019: loss of $1,722,471) had net operating cash outflows of $654,589 (2019: outflow of $797,848) and as at 31 December 2020, current liabilities exceeded current assets by $6,585,011 (June 2020: deficiency of $3,690,266). As at 31 December 2020 the Aggregated Group has net liabilities of $6,887,134 (30 Jun 2020 net liabilities: $3,814,026).

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:

uired to be redeemed in cash, unless they have been converted into e
Month Face Value of Notes
Maturing
May 2021 $150,000
June 2021 $3,350,000
July 2021 $500,000
September 2021 $82,000
October 2021 $179,000
December 2021 $1,250,000
May 2022 $320,000
June 2022 $25,000
After 1 July 2022 $1,100,000

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 half year ended December 2020, the Aggregated Group raised $950,000 (net of costs) of convertible notes from external investors. Subsequent to the end of the half year to December 2020 EP & T Global Limited (HK) has received a 5 year term bank loan for the equivalent to $580,000 with an annual interest rate of 2.75%. 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 growth in its contracted projects base during the half year ended December 2020, the rate at which this growth can be continued has to be balanced against the additional working capital demands selling and installing new

EP&T Pty Limited Aggregated Group For the half year ended 31 December 2020

projects place on the Aggregated Group. Installation of new projects awarded to the Aggregated Group during the half year ended December 2020 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.

5 Significant events and transactions

The financial position and performance of the Aggregated Group was not impacted by any significant events and transactions during the six months to 31 December 2020.

The operations of the Aggregated Group are not seasonal or cyclical in nature.

Borrowings at FVPL

The embedded derivative at FVPL is the fair value of the conversion feature of the notes. There has been no movement in the fair value of the embedded derivative from issue to balance date and hence no fair value movement has been recorded in the income statement at period-end.

The estimated fair value of the embedded derivative is categorised within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The change in fair value estimate has been determined by company management at $3,296, estimated using a present value technique, the Probability Weighted Expected Returns Method.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report

To the Members of EP & T Pty Limited

Report on the review of the half year financial report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half year financial report of EP & T Pty Limited (the Company) and its aggregated companies (the Aggregated Group), which comprises the aggregated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, and the aggregated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, aggregated statement of changes in equity and aggregated statement of cash flows for the half year ended on that date, a description of accounting policies, other selected explanatory notes, and the directors’ declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half year financial report of EP & T Pty Limited does not give a true and fair view of the Aggregated Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its performance and cash flows for the half-year ended on that date in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting to the extent described in Note 1.

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence and ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We draw attention to Note 4 in the financial report, which indicates that the Aggregated Group incurred a net loss of $2,885,347 during the half year ended 31 December 2020 and, as of that date, the Aggregated Group's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $6,585,011. As stated in Note 4, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 4, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Aggregated Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Directors’ responsibility for the half year financial report

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half year financial report is not giving a true and fair view of the Aggregated Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance and cash flows for the half year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting to the extent described in Note 1.

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