Engineering:

In the prior financial year EVZ implemented significant change in the Brockman Engineering business including:

  • New Management providing strategic leadership

  • Expansion of Brockman’s geographical project and client reach

  • Improved productivity programs from new investment in plant and equipment and labour skills.

These initiatives have contributed to a significant improvement in Brockman’s profitability in the six months results to 31 December 2014 and during this period Brockman was consistently profitable on a month to month basis.

Despite ongoing delays in projects being awarded, Brockman has significantly focused on promoting its capabilities during the tender process. This has resulted in a number of significant project wins in the six months; including:

  • Esso Hastings – Tank Repairs

  • Mobil Refinery – Ongoing offsite piping and structural work.

  • Esso – Pipe spool fabrication.

  • Apache Energy (Varanus Island) - (Bulk Tank Repair & Maintenance)

  • AGC (Melville Island) - (Construction of three bulk fuel storage tanks).

  • Extension of the Shell Refinery maintenance contract to 31 December 2015.

  • Origin Energy Resources - (Offshore Gas Platform Pipework and Maintenance).

Brockman has $19.9m in contracted work at 31 December which underpins the forecast continued improved performance by Brockman for the remainder on the financial year. In addition Brockman currently has live tenders and prospective bids conservatively totalling $90m.

Water:

The Syfon Systems business continues to consolidate its formidable position in the Australian market and build its market share in the lucrative Asian market. Asian market expansion remains a key focus in the short to medium term.

The continued solid profitable performance by Syfon reflects; the maturity of this business, strong management, its strong position in the roof drainage markets and its solution based approach.

At 31 December 2014 Syfon has a consistent and healthy forward order book in both Australia and Asia totalling $19.2m. This along with current live tenders and prospective bids of $50m ensures an underlying profit stream for the EVZ Group.

Energy :

Capital expenditure in the Australian energy market continues to be minimal with any likely improvement not expected until the federal government formalises its domestic energy strategies. TSF Engineering’s clean energy strategy has consequently stalled and the business is currently focusing on diesel and other traditional back-up power solutions and smaller capital work projects. However, TSF Engineering remains ready to redeploy its clean energy strategy when government policy is eventually enacted.

Page2

The TSF Maintenance business has experienced some growth and continues to deliver profits, benefitting from the domestic industry’s current preference to defer capital expenditure and invest in additional maintenance to prolong the service life of existing assets. The Maintenance business strategy continues to be building on its customer and product offering to add value to whole of lifecycle costs.

Cost Reduction Strategy:

During the period EVZ has reviewed its corporate cost base and has put in place initiatives to reduce costs in the order of $300k to $400k on an annualised basis. These initiatives will be nd phased in during the 2 half of the current financial year with the full impact being reflected in FY16.

Debt Reduction Strategy Update:

The Group continues to pursue an appropriate structured debt reduction program, with the Board of Directors actively following several strategies. This strategy is focused on maximising shareholder value in line with the financier’s debt reduction expectations. These strategies include a review of its existing business portfolio and/or where appropriate a capital management program. Whilst EVZ is currently unable to satisfy its bank covenants, the Commonwealth Bank has accepted our performance against these covenant positions and is supportive of the Group’s structured debt reduction program.

Additional financial information is provided in the enclosed Appendix 4D: Half-Year Report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014

1. Basis of preparation of half-year financial statements

The half-year consolidated financial statements are a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with AASB134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards IAS34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The half-year report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report.

Accordingly, it is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2014 and any public announcements made by EVZ Limited and its controlled entities during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 .

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current half-year. New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current half-year that are relevant to the Group include:

  • AASB 1031 ‘Materiality’ (2013)

  • AASB 2012-3 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities’

  • AASB 2013-3 ‘Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets’

  • AASB 2013-9 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards’ – Part B: ‘Materiality’

  • AASB 2014-1 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards’ - Part A: ‘Annual Improvements 2010-2012 and 2011-2013 Cycles’

  • Part C: ‘Materiality’.

The adoption of these amending standards do not have any material impact on the disclosures or the amounts recognised in the Group's condensed consolidated financial statements.

This financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified, where appropriate, by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied. The accounting policies applied in this financial report are consistent with those applied in the 30 June 2014 Annual Report.

All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Going concern

As at 30 June 2014 our financier, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia extended our existing banking facilities to 1 October 2015 to allow sufficient time for EVZ to pursue a structured debt reduction which would also be in the best interest of shareholders.

EVZ is currently determining the optimum strategy for a structured debt reduction which includes a change to the capital structure and/or the orderly divestment of some of the Group’s operations and assets.

The Bank is being continually advised as to the status of the progress on the structured debt reduction program and is supportive of the Group’s strategies as well as the breaches in its bank covenant ratios.

EVZ LIMITED

(ABN 87 010 550 357)

& Controlled Entities

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014

The Group’s ability to continue as a going concern is therefore dependent on the Commonwealth Bank continuing to support the Group as it determines and executes its structured debt reduction program. At this stage there is nothing to suggest that the Company would not be able to roll its existing banking facilities past 1 October 2015. Should existing banking facilities not be extended, the Group may not be able to realise its assets and settle its liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The directors have concluded that these circumstances represent a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Nevertheless after making enquiries and considering the uncertainties described above the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For these reasons they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial report of EVZ and its controlled entities at 31 December 2014.

3. Borrowings

Current banking facilities mature on 1 October 2015. As at 31 December 2014 all outstanding bank loans have been classified as current. However, there is an expectation that the remaining bank loan facility as at 1 October 2015 will be extended in the normal course of business.

Accounting policies adopted

Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief decision-makers with respect to operating segments are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent with those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report to the Members of EVZ Limited

Report on the half year financial report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of EVZ Limited (“Company”), which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2014, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising both the Company and the entities it controlled at half years end or from time to time during the half year.

Directors’ responsibility for the half year financial report

The directors of EVZ Limited are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 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 in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of EVZ Limited’s financial position as at 31 December 2014 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of EVZ Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report

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 review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

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

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of EVZ Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • I. giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2014 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • II. complying with AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001

Emphasis of Matter

Without modification to our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates that as at 30 June 2014, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (the “Bank”) extended the Company and its controlled entities’ (collectively the “Group”) existing banking facilities to 1 October 2015 to allow sufficient time for EVZ Limited to pursue a structured debt reduction.

The Group is currently determining the optimum strategy for a structured debt reduction which includes a change to the capital structure and/or the orderly divestment of some of the Group’s operations and assets.

The Bank is being continually advised as to the status of the progress on the structured debt reduction program and is supportive of the Group’s strategies as well as the breaches in its bank covenant ratios.

The Group’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Commonwealth Bank continuing to support the Group as it determines and executes its structured debt reduction program. At this stage there is nothing to suggest that the Company would not be able to roll its existing banking facilities past 1 October 2015. Should existing banking facilities not be extended, the Group may not be able to realise its assets and settle its liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
