Chairman’s Report
==> picture [125 x 125] intentionally omitted <==
The Company has closed the financial year 2007/2008 with significant growth in both revenue and profit from the previous year. The EBIT of $8.7m was a 40% increase over the previous year’s figure of $6.2m and revenue increased from $48.3m to $88.1m over the same period. This growth is not reflected in the nPAT line because the Company recognised a tax expense of $1.845m compared to the previous year where tax losses were brought to account.
It is important to recognise that most of this growth eventuated from the inclusion of full year results from Danum Engineering, national Engineering and some ten months contribution from TsF Engineering. We achieved very little growth from the existing businesses during the year and it is clear that if EVZ is to progress, we must ensure that we optimise integration opportunities across the five businesses and that systems and cultures are developed to ensure that each business grows organically.
-
There has been a consolidation throughout the Group to strengthen the safety culture across all of the operating units.
-
We are committing Business Development resources in the operating divisions to become much more active in promoting the EVZ products and skill sets.
There are many other exciting changes occurring throughout the Company, which after a period of consolidation will provide a strong platform of growth.
Over the last three months, a clear strategy has been developed to ensure initially a consolidation period and then plans for organic growth within the existing business. Acquisitions will only be pursued which are complementary to our existing operations or as part of a subsidiary roll up.
The share price has reduced which reflects, in part, the overall stock market sentiment, but also a less than expected performance from the two latest acquisitions namely national Engineering and TsF Engineering. A significant amount of restructuring has occurred to ensure both businesses achieve their full potential.
There have been a number of changes and achievements during the year which will better position the Company for growth in the next stage of its development:
In the short time since my appointment as Chairman, I have been delighted with the commitment and dedication of the management Team in supporting change to ensure the ongoing growth and success of EVZ. The Board has also been totally committed to ensuring that EVZ is well positioned to provide increased shareholder value. I would also like to thank Geoff Coleman, who retired as a Director during the year, for his significant contribution to EVZ. The efforts of the whole team are greatly appreciated.
-
The appointment of Mr Andrew Powis as CEO and Mr Ian Wallace as CFO.
-
With the resignation of Mr Geoff Coleman from the Board, two new external directors were appointed, mr Graham Burns as an non-Executive Director and my own appointment as non-Executive Chairman after mr Gordon mcKern stepped down to become Deputy Chairman.
To our shareholders, thank you for supporting us through this period of consolidation, and you can be assured that your Board and management Team are totally committed to ensuring that the exciting opportunities available to EVZ are achieved.
-
The development for the first time of Business Plans for all business units.
-
The establishment of additional branches which has increased our geographical business spread;
==> picture [137 x 94] intentionally omitted <==
-
syfon systems – 1 branch in Brisbane and 1 in singapore, and we have had several project wins in both areas.
-
TsF Engineering – 1 branch in Brisbane.
-
Brockman Engineering – has expanded its business opportunities in both nsW and Queensland.
Max Findlay Non-Executive Chairman
There will be a further pursuit of business on a national scale to take advantage of growth opportunities including the resource, oil and gas industry sectors.
- Acquisition of TSF Engineering which, in the short term, has not performed as expected, however, it is projected to provide good growth opportunities from the second half of 2008/2009.

CEOs Report
==> picture [124 x 142] intentionally omitted <==
2007-2008 has been a challenging year for Envirozel which has necessitated a number of changes within the Group which I believe will produce long term benefits to shareholders. however, with the prevailing market conditions and reduced risk appetite of the Investment Community, it will take time to see the benefit of these changes and the subsequent reflection in the share price.
The appointment of myself as CEO and Ian Wallace as CFO has provided specific focus on operational and managerial functions within the group. In particular, a comprehensive management Team comprising the CEO, CFO and mD’s of the subsidiary companies has now been formed to guide and drive the Company. Primary issues that have and are being addressed and acted upon include:
-
Development of long range Business Plans and Budgets.
-
Improved standardised reporting formats to provide timely and concise business performance information measured against approved Budgets.
-
Business development and cross-selling opportunities between the subsidiary companies and clients has resulted in a number of multiple bid opportunities on relevant projects. To this end, a Group Capability matrix is being finalised to enhance future project opportunities.
-
An ongoing analysis of business risks impacting the Group is being undertaken.
-
Workforce resources are being managed to limit labour shortages and retain work within the Group wherever possible.
-
The Group has further enhanced its commitment to OHS&E as a result of the Group strategic safety Review. many new initiatives and resources are now shared and reviewed between all companies on a regular basis.
Company Highlights
Key highlights from both a Corporate and operating business point of view are:
- Syfon Systems continued with a strong performance and has successfully opened a new office in Brisbane (which it shares with TsF Engineering). This move had an immediate impact and resulted in the receipt of a number of orders that might otherwise have gone to competitors.
syfon singapore has now been established and has subsequently received a number of orders including the Convention Centre Building which forms part of the marina Bay sands project, which is currently the most prestigious project in singapore.
syfon’s forward order books, both in Australia and malaysia (includes singapore) continues to be strong, however, tighter margins are becoming more evident particularly in nsW.
-
Brockman Engineering has also performed well and has a strong forward order book which includes the renewal of the shell Corio Refinery contract for a period of 2½ years with a 1 year option. Brockman are also pushing interstate and have successfully secured a new project in moree, northern nsW. Although the Brockman result was strong, the second half results were adversely impacted by the delay in awarding work on a number of projects and we see this trend continuing.
-
Danum Engineering under the circumstances, performed well, but obviously on a diminished work load. The loss of the shell maintenance Contract significantly influenced their second half result. The shell contract represented 70% of Danum’s revenue and EBIT base. In the long run Danum will benefit, as it has been forced to significantly diversify its customer base and geographic targets. The business has already replaced approximately 50% of the shell work and is forecasting a steady performance this year, although margins remain tight.
-
National Engineering had a difficult year and continues to feel the impact of the International credit squeeze due to its heavy reliance on retail projects, many of which have either been cancelled or delayed. The price of structural steel has increased by approximately 80% in the last 6 months which has resulted in a number of projects being re-designed to use structural concrete. We foresee these conditions continuing for the current year and have reacted by reducing the current workforce in Young, nsW by approximately 25%. We have also appointed a new mD to re-focus the business and address fundamental business principles.
Despite this negativity, there still appears to be many potential projects and we are in the process of appointing a new BDm, who will assist national Engineering to diversify their customer base.
- Cellular Beams. The Company has also recently entered into an exclusive licence agreement for Australia to manufacture and distribute “cellular” steel beams. A cellular beam is the modern version of the traditional ‘castellated’ beam. When a steel beam is “cellularised” it results in a beam approximately 40-60% deeper and therefore stronger than its parent section for the same weight.
Envirozel Limited | Annual Report FY08 | 4
CEOs Report (Continued)
In the current market of ever increasing steel prices, Builders and Engineers can achieve significant savings by utilising this technology. Whilst this technology will not have a significant impact in the new financial year, it is expected to impact on the construction market in the coming years. This technology has provided the EVZ Group with another significant niche market opportunity.
- TSF Engineering & TSF Maintenance. As previously reported on a number of occasions, the acquisition of TsF has been our most difficult to date. The process finally resulted in the removal and replacement of all the senior management positions in TsF except for the manager of TsF maintenance. This process was obviously traumatic, but has resulted in a substantially stronger organisation now equipped to grow into the future.
At the time of acquisition, TsF Engineering had a good forward order book. TsF’s customers have now accepted that the new management team are well in control of the company and have the skill and expertise to grow the business.
Although this work maintained the business through its management transition phase, this work proved to be less profitable than expected.
significant expansion of the previous customer base (which was heavily reliant on Telstra work) is also being targeted (and progressively achieved) to minimise risk exposure. Telstra embargos have impacted on TsF Engineering’s results for the first two months of this year. however, the future for TsF Engineering is very positive, particularly in the emerging areas of co-generation and trigeneration power supply systems.
- The story with respect to TSF Maintenance is very pleasing. This business has effectively doubled its workload at double its previous charge out rate. Although this is a small business, we intend to expand on this opportunity to provide a recurring revenue base.
Health, Safety & Environment
During the year, all subsidiary companies were subjected to a strategic safety Audit. Although all of the businesses are required to comply with high levels of OHS&E standards on the various job sites, it became obvious that there were a number of differences between the various Company safety policies at their own premises. A specialist has now been commissioned to prepare an umbrella framework and standardised reporting procedures which will encompass all companies in the Group and future acquisitions.
A high level of performance, compliance and achievement of a safe working environment sits at the core of our business success.
Our People
The strength of our Company is reliant on the quality and reliability of our employees. It is pleasing to note that in these times of tight labour supply for both blue and white collar workers, that we have successfully retained a consistent team of skilled people throughout the Company. This is even more significant when you take into account the diversity of our various businesses, and the new opportunities that are being pursued to expand and secure our future. none of this could have been achieved without the expertise and dedication of each of the subsidiary company mD’s.
The Way Forward
We have now developed and adopted a comprehensive strategic Plan to take us forward over the next 5 years. The salient points are as follows:
-
Continue to integrate and consolidate the existing businesses. Target significant organic growth by expanding our customer base and product offering by developing a proactive (as opposed to reactive) approach to our existing and new customers. To achieve this, Business Development managers are being employed in all companies and we will develop and diversify our customer base and product offering via a comprehensive Business Development management Team.
-
The acquisition of “bolt on” businesses will remain as a focus; however, we will ensure that any such businesses are complementary and compatible with the existing businesses.
-
The current business/market climate would appear to be an excellent opportunity for strategic roll-ups and it is our intention to proceed down this path. There are many companies in a similar position to EVZ with similar offerings. It is our intention to build a national base for our “steel” based companies which will provide geographic diversity. This geographic diversity is a perfect base for syfon systems, TsF Engineering and Cellular Beams to build from as each of these companies has a unique niche market offering.
In closing, we are in tough and interesting times that present many opportunities. We are building a solid reliable business to capitalise on these various opportunities that will produce solid results in the medium to long term.

Envirozel Limited | Annual Report FY08 | 9
Directors’ Report (Continued) Remuneration Report
REMUNERATION REPORT
This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each Director of Envirozel Limited, and for key management personnel.
Remuneration policy
The remuneration policy of Envirozel Limited has been designed to align Director and Executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and where appropriate offering specific longterm incentives based on key performance areas affecting the economic entity’s financial results. The Board of Envirozel Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best Executives and Directors to run and manage the economic entity, as well as create goal congruence between Directors, Executives and shareholders.
The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Board members and key senior Executives of the economic entity is as follows:
-
The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive Directors and other Executives, was developed by the Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board after seeking professional advice where appropriate from independent external consultants.
-
All Executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation, fringe benefits and where appropriate performance incentives.
The Remuneration Committee reviews Executive packages annually by reference to the economic entity’s performance, Executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.
The performance of Executives is measured against criteria agreed with each executive and is based predominantly on the forecast growth of the economic entity’s profits and shareholders’ value. Any bonuses and incentives will be linked to predetermined performance criteria. The Board may, however, exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options, and can recommend changes to the Committee’s recommendations. Any changes must be justified by reference to measurable performance criteria. The policy is designed to attract the highest caliber of Executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.
The Executive Directors and Executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Individuals may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation. All remuneration paid to Directors and Executives is valued at the cost to the company and expensed. Option based remuneration is valued using the Black-scholes methodology.
The Board policy is to remunerate non-Executive Directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Remuneration Committee determines payments to the non-Executive Directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice will be sought when required.
The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-Executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General meeting. Fees for non-Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the economic entity. however, to align Directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and may be able to participate in any employee share/option plan introduced.
Shares and options issued as part of remuneration
The Company has established the Envirozel Limited Division 13A Tax Exempt share Plan which has been approved at a General meeting of shareholders held on 27 march 2007. During the year employees participated in the plan. Participating employees were entitled to acquire the equivalent of $1000 in ordinary shares in the company. These vested ordinary shares were issued at a weighted average market price of $0.513. A total of 590,547 ordinary shares were issued under this plan. Participating employees are prohibited from selling or disposing of these shares unless and until the third anniversary of the date on which the shares were granted and the date on which the employee has ceased employment.
There were no further shares or options issued as part of remuneration during the year to 30 June 2008.
Performance based remuneration
Currently there is no performance based remuneration.
Company performance, Shareholder wealth and Directors’ and Executives’ remuneration
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders, Directors and Executives.

Corporate Governance Statement
For the year ended 30 June 2008
The Board of Directors has adopted a set of Corporate Governance Practices and a Code of Conduct in line with ‘Best Practice Recommendations’ released by the Australian securities Exchange adapted where appropriate for the size, complexity and operations of the Company and its controlled entities. The ongoing relevance and effectiveness of this framework is periodically reviewed to reflect changing circumstances and ways of improving the practices.
Role of the Board and Management
The Board’s role is to govern the economic entity rather than to manage it. In governing the economic entity, the Directors must act in the best interests of the economic entity as a whole. It is the role of senior management to manage the economic entity in accordance with the direction and delegations of the Board and it is the responsibility of the Board to oversee the activities of management in carrying out these delegated duties.
The Board’s responsibilities are summarised as:
-
Leadership of the organisation.
-
Ensuring the health, safety and well-being of Directors, Officers, Employees and Contractors.
-
strategy formulation.
-
Overseeing planning activities.
-
shareholder liaison.
During the period to 29 February 2008, the Board believed it was appropriate to have an Executive Chairman who had expertise crucial to the growth and development of the economic entity. From 1 march 2008, the Chairman became a non-Executive Chairman with the appointment of a Chief Executive Officer. however, from 1 July 2008, the Board considers it is now at an appropriate stage of its growth to appoint an Independent Director as the non-Executive Chairman.
Directors collectively or individually have the right to seek independent professional advice at the economic entity’s expense, up to specified limits, to assist them to carry out their responsibilities. All advice obtained is made available to the full Board.
The Company has now established a nomination Committee, comprised of the Chairman and Deputy Chairman. This committee will consider Board membership nomination matters.
Ethical and Responsible Decision-Making
As part of its commitment to recognising the legitimate interests of stakeholders, the economic entity has established a Code of Conduct to guide compliance with legal and other obligations to legitimate stakeholders.
The Company has a share trading policy that regulates the dealings by Directors, Officers and Employees, in shares, options and other securities issued by the Company. The policy has been formulated to ensure that Directors, Officers, Employees and Consultants who work on a regular basis for the Company are aware of the legal restrictions on trading in company securities while in possession of unpublished price-sensitive information.
-
monitoring, compliance and risk management.
-
monitoring Group finances and exposures.
-
monitoring Group human resource matters.
-
Delegation of appropriate authority to management.
-
Determining appropriate remuneration policy.
-
nomination of additional Directors.
Structure and Composition of the Board
The Board has been formed so that it has an effective mix of personnel who are committed to adequately discharging their responsibilities and duties, and be of value to the economic entity.
The names of the Directors, their independence, qualifications and experience are included in the Directors Report, along with the term of office held by each.
The Board believes that the interests of all shareholders are best served by:
-
Directors having the appropriate skills, experience and contacts within the economic entity’s industries.
-
The Board striving to have a balance between the overall number of Directors and the number of Directors being independent as defined in the AsX Corporate Governance Guidelines.
The Board currently has five Directors, of which four are Independent Directors. The number of Independent Directors on the Board may vary as the economic entity develops. The Board believes that it can attract appropriate Independent Directors with the necessary industry experience over time and in line with the economic entity’s growth.
Where any Director has a material personal interest in a matter, in accordance with the Corporations Act, the Director will not be permitted to be present during discussion or to vote on the matter. The enforcement of this requirement aims to ensure that the interest of shareholders, as a whole, is pursued and that their interest or the Director’s independence is not adversely affected.
Integrity in Financial Reporting
The full Board of Directors has reviewed the Annual Report prior to signing. The Board has received attestations, as recommended by the AsX Corporate Governance Council, as to the Company’s financial condition prior to signing this Annual Report.
A duly constituted Audit Committee has been in existence during the financial year. The Committee’s Charter encompasses the AsX Corporate Governance Council’s ‘Best Practice Recommendations’, including the ‘Responsibilities of Risk management & Compliance’.
Currently, the Audit Committee consists of three Independent Directors. The current members of the Committee, at the date of this report are, P Jones (Chairman), m Findlay and K Fagg. Their qualifications are detailed in the Directors’ Report. The Audit Committee considers the financial reports with management and the external Auditors prior to recommending the reports to the full Board of Directors.
The Committee holds a minimum of two meetings a year. A detailed list of attendance by members at the Audit Committee meetings is contained in the Directors’ Report.
Timely and Balanced Disclosure
The Board has designated the Company secretary as the person responsible for overseeing and co-ordinating disclosure of information to the AsX as well as communicating with the AsX. In accordance with AsX ‘Listing Rules’ the Company immediately notifies the AsX of relevant information concerning the Company. Information which falls into the AsX continuous disclosure requirements is information which;
-
a reasonable person would or may expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company’s securities, and
-
would, or would be likely to influence persons who commonly invest in securities in deciding whether to acquire or dispose of the Company’s securities.

Corporate Governance Statement (Continued) For the year ended 30 June 2008
Rights of Shareholders
The Company respects the rights of its shareholders, and to facilitate the effective exercise of the rights, the Company is committed to:
-
Communicating effectively with shareholders through; ongoing releases to the market via the AsX announcements platform, direct mailings to shareholders and the General meetings of the Company;
-

-

The Company makes available to shareholders wishing to make inquiries, a telephone number, e-mail address and has a website, which will be updated regularly with AsX announcements and other relevant information.
The Company is committed to remunerating its senior Executive Officers in a manner that is market-competitive and consistent with ‘Best Practice’ as well as supporting the interests of shareholders.
senior Executive Officers receive a remuneration package based on fixed and variable components, determined by their position and experience. shares and/or options, subject to shareholder approval may also be granted based on an individual’s performance.
non-Executive Directors are paid their fees out of the maximum aggregate amount approved by shareholders for the remuneration of non-Executive Directors. nonExecutive Directors do not receive performance based bonuses and do not participate in Equity schemes of the Company without prior shareholder approval.
Current remuneration is disclosed in Directors’ Report.
Legitimate Interests of Stakeholders
The Board acknowledges the legitimate interests of various stakeholders such as Employees, Clients, Customers, Government Authorities, Creditors and the Community as a whole. As a good Corporate Citizen, the Board encourages compliance and commitment to appropriate corporate practices that are fair and ethical.
Recognise and Manage Risk
The Audit Committee reviews risk management within the economic entity.
In addition, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have given a statement to the Board that:
-
In accordance with ‘Best Practice Recommendation 4.1’, that the Financial statements are founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control which implements the Policies adopted by the Board.
-
The economic entity’s ‘Risk management and Internal Compliance and Control system’, in so far as it relates to financial risk, is operating effectively in all material respects.
Encourage Enhanced Performance
Following completion of the financial year the Board conducted a review and assessment of its performance. The review was conducted by an external facilitator. The results of this review were collated and developed into a series of recommendations to improve performance. The report was presented to the Board from which an action plan was developed to implement the recommendations and set performance criteria and goals for the current and future financial years.
Remunerate Fairly and Responsibly
The Company has a Remuneration Committee. The Remuneration Committee is made up of three Independent Directors. The current members of the Remuneration Committee are, G Burns (Chairman), m Findlay and G mcKern. The Remuneration Committee is responsible for:

Notes To and Forming Part of the Accounts
For the year ended 30 June 2008
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
This financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of Envirozel Limited and controlled entities (‘Economic Entity’ or ‘Group’), and the separate financial statements and notes of Envirozel Limited as an individual parent entity (‘Parent Entity’).
Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.
Australian Accounting standards set out accounting policies that the AAsB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting standards. material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
Accounting Policies
(a) Principles of Consolidation
A controlled entity is any entity Envirozel Limited has the power to control the financial and operating policies of so as to obtain benefits from its activities. A list of controlled entities is contained in note 29 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year-end. All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the economic entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the parent entity.
Where controlled entities have entered or left the economic entity during the year, their operating results have been included/excluded from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased.
minority equity interests in the equity and results of the entities that are controlled are shown as a separate item in the consolidated financial report.
Business Combinations
Business combinations occur where control over another business is obtained and results in the consolidation of its assets and liabilities. All business combinations, including those involving entities under common control, are accounted for by applying the purchase method. The purchase method requires an acquirer of the business to be identified and for the cost of the acquisition and fair values of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities to be determined as at acquisition date, being the date that control is obtained. Cost is determined as the aggregate of fair values of assets given, equity issued and liabilities assumed in exchange for control together with costs directly attributable to the business combination. Any deferred consideration payable is discounted to present value using the entity’s incremental borrowing rate.
Goodwill is recognised initially at the excess of cost over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If the fair value of the acquirer’s interest is greater than cost, the surplus is immediately recognised in profit or loss.
(b) Income Tax
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income). 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 (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
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 (income) 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 relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. 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.
Envirozel Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. Each entity in the group recognises its own current and deferred tax liabilities, except for any deferred tax liabilities resulting from unused tax losses and credits which are immediately assumed by Envirozel Limited. The current tax liability of each group entity is then subsequently assumed by Envirozel Limited. The group notified the Australian Taxation Office that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from 7 June 2004. The tax consolidated group has entered a tax sharing arrangement whereby each company in the group contributes to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidated group.
(c) 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.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(d) Construction Contracts and Work in Progress
Construction work in progress is valued at cost, plus profit recognised to date less any provision for anticipated future losses. Cost includes both variable and fixed costs relating to specific contracts, and those costs that are attributable to the contract activity in general and that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.
Construction profits are recognised on the stage of completion basis and measured using the proportion of costs incurred to date as compared to expected actual costs. Where losses are anticipated they are provided for in full. Construction revenue has been recognised on the basis of the terms of the contract adjusted for any variations or claims allowable under the contract.
(e) 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 is measured on the cost basis.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
The cost of fixed assets constructed within the economic entity includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
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 Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to a revaluation reserve in shareholders’ equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against fair value reserves directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to the income statement. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged to the income statement and depreciation based on the asset’s original cost is transferred from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the economic entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
| Class of Fixed Asset | Depreciation Rate |
|---|---|
| • Leasehold improvements | 5 to 30% |
| • Plant and equipment | 5 to 30% |
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet 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 and losses are included in the income statement.
(f) Leases
Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership that are transferred to entities in the economic entity are classified as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.
Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term.
(g) Financial Instruments
Recognition and Initial Measurement
Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention.
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss
A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management and within the requirements of AAsB 139: Recognition and measurement of Financial Instruments. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of these assets are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Held-to-maturity investments
These investments have fixed maturities, and it is the group’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. Any held-to-maturity investments held by the group are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

For the year ended 30 June 2008
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(g) Financial Instruments (Continued)
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets include any financial assets not included in the above categories. Available-for-sale financial assets are reflected at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to equity.
Financial liabilities
non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.
Derivative instruments
Derivative instruments are measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken to the income statement unless they are designated as hedges.
Fair value
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.
Impairment
At each reporting date, the group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.
(h) Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the group 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. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
(i) Intangibles
Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the income statement, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the income statement.
Group companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:
-
assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
-
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
-
retained profits are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the balance sheet. These differences are recognised in the income statement in the period in which the operation is disposed.
(k) Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the economic entity’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.
The group operates an equity-settled share-based payment employee share scheme. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The shares issued under the employee share scheme vest immediately.
Goodwill
Goodwill and goodwill on consolidation are initially recorded at the amount by which the purchase price for a business or for an ownership interest in a controlled entity exceeds the fair value attributed to its net assets at date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investments in associates. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
(j) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.
(l) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.
(m) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of two months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(n) Revenue
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. Revenue from the rendering of a service, including management fees charged to controlled entities, is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers or controlled entity.
(o) Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.
(p) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GsT, except where the amount of GsT incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GsT 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 balance sheet are shown inclusive of GsT.
Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GsT component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(q) Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
(r) Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group.
Key estimates — Impairment
The group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.
no impairment has been recognised in respect of goodwill and plant and equipment for the year ended 30 June 2008.
The financial report was authorised for issue on 26 september 2008 by the Board of Directors.

Amounts due from controlled entities are non-interest bearing and have no fixed repayment dates.
market practices provide for the retention of monies from progress and final billings on certain construction contracts. The monies are received after a contracted period of time has elapsed following completion of the construction.
Current trade and term receivables are non-interest bearing loans and generally on 30 day terms. non-current trade and term receivables are assessed for recoverability based on the underlying terms of the contract. A provision for impairment is recognised when there is objective evidence that an individual trade or term receivable is impaired.
There are no balances within trade and other receivables that contain assets that are not impaired. It is expected these balances will be received when due. Impaired assets are provided for in full.

It has been determined that the balances of the goodwill have an indefinite life. The excess of the fair value of net assets over the purchase price of the business combinations acquired has been allocated to goodwill rather than be allocated to other intangible assets. The acquisition of the businesses that generate the goodwill was determined on the abilities of the entities, as a whole, to generate future profits and hence other intangibles have not been recognised.
Impairment Disclosures
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units which are based on the group’s reporting segments.

The Group has incurred further costs relating to acquisitions which have been taken directly to goodwill. These costs were incurred within 12 months of the relevant acquisition. With respect to the Engineering services segment, during the measurement period the Group retrospectively adjusted the provisional amounts recognised at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of acquisition date and, if known would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognised as of that date.
The recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit above is determined based on value-in-use calculations. Value-in-use is calculated based on the present value of cash flow projections over a maximum seven year period. The cash flows are discounted using the yield of five year government bonds at the beginning of the budget period.
The following assumptions were used in the value-in-use calculations:
| 2008 | 2007 | |
|---|---|---|
| Growth Rate | 7.5% | 3% |
| Discount Rate | 6.82% | 6.46% |
management has based the value-in-use calculations on budgets for each reporting segment. These budgets use historical weighted average growth rates to project revenue. Costs are calculated taking into account historical gross margins as well as estimated weighted average inflation rates over the periods which are consistent with inflation rates applicable to the locations in which the segments operate. Discount rates are pre-tax and are adjusted to incorporate risks associated with a particular segment.

26. Contingent Liabilities
There were no contingent liabilities as at the date of this report.
27. Financial Instruments
The group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, local money market instruments, short-term investments, accounts receivable and payable, loans to and from subsidiaries, bills and leases.
The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments is to raise finance for group operations.
(i) Treasury Risk Management
The Board of Directors is responsible for monitoring treasury risk. Currency and interest rate exposures are reviewed regularly to ensure any risk associated with these exposures is minimised.
(ii) Financial Risks
-
The main risks the group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.
-
Interest rate risk
-
The majority of the company’s borrowings take the form of bank accepted bills of exchange. The rollover/maturity term of these bills and therefore the prevailing interest rates are continually reviewed in order to manage interest rate exposures. Fixed interest bank loans account for 34% of the total bank loans outstanding at 30 June 2008.
-
Foreign currency risk
-
The group is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies arising from the sale and purchase of goods and services in currencies other than the group’s measurement currency. The Group monitors its foreign exchange exposure on a regular basis.
-
Liquidity risk
-
The group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate unutilised borrowing facilities are maintained.
-
Credit risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements.
- The economic entity does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the economic entity.
(a) Interest Rate Risk Exposures
The company’s exposure to interest rate risk and the effective weighted average interest rate for each class of financial assets and financial liabilities is set out below. Exposures arise predominantly from assets and liabilities bearing variable interest rates as the company intends to hold fixed rate, assets and liabilities to maturity.
