Review of operations and financial results
A review of the operations of the Group during the financial year and the results of those operations saw an increase in contract revenue from $99,166,632 to $169,955,735. The profit of the Group for the financial year after providing for income tax amounted to $10,689,642 (2019: $6,012,740). The increases reflect consolidation of performance across the Group with an improved capability to deliver to meet customer requirements on larger scale projects.
A private capital raising was undertaken during the year which raised $8.9m net of costs providing additional operating capital to fund major construction projects as well as positioning the Group in a strong cash position for 2021 to allow for future acquisitions, if appropriate opportunities arise.
The Group’s net assets increased by 74% compared to the previous year, which is due to the increase in retained earnings and the Group’s capital raising activities.

GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd and controlled entities Annual financial report For the year ended 30 June 2020
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1 Nature of operations
GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd and subsidiaries’ (the Group) principal activities include the construction and maintenance of transmission and distribution power lines and substations servicing the Western Australian power networks as well as providing specialist Engineering, testing and commissioning services to the electrical and communications industries.
2 General information and statement of compliance
The consolidated general purpose financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 , Australian Accounting Standards (“AASBs”) and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB). Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards results in full compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd is the Group’s Ultimate Parent Company. GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd is a Private Company incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The address of its registered office and its principal place of business is Level 1, 63 – 69 Abernethy Road, Belmont, Australia.
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 were approved and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 5 October 2020.
3 Changes in accounting policies
3.1 New standards adopted as at 1 July 2019
The Group has adopted the new accounting pronouncements which have become effective this year, and are as follows:
AASB 16 Leases
AASB 16 ‘Leases’ replaces AASB 117 ‘Leases’ along with three Interpretations (IFRIC 4 ‘Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease’, SIC 15 ‘Operating Leases-Incentives’ and SIC 27 ‘Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease’).
The adoption of this new Standard has resulted in the Group recognising a right-of-use asset and related lease liability in connection with all former operating leases except for those identified as low-value or having a remaining lease term of less than 12 months from the date of initial application.
On transition to AASB 16, the Group elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. The AASB 16 Leases definition of a leas is applied only to contracts that were previously identified as leases at the date of initial application. Contracts that were not identified as leases under AASB 117 were not reassessed for whether there is a lease under AASB 16. From the date of initial application, lease accounting under AASB 16 is applied to all leases, including those identified in accordance with the requirements of AASB 117.
The Group has applied AASB 16 using the practical expedient approach, under which the right-of-use asset and liability have been calculated based on the present value of future rent payments, without adjusting opening retained earnings. Additionally, the disclosure requirements of AASB 16 have not generally been applied to comparative information.
11
GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd and controlled entities Annual financial report For the year ended 30 June 2020
3.1 New standards adopted as at 1 July 2019 (continued)
The Group has elected not to include initial direct costs in the measurement of the right-of-use asset for operating leases in existence at the date of initial application of AASB 16, being 1 July 2019. At this date, the Group has also elected to measure the right-of-use assets at an amount equal to the lease liability adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments that existed at the date of transition.
Instead of performing an impairment review on the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application, the Group has relied on its historic assessment as to whether leases were onerous immediately before the date of initial application of AASB 16.
On transition, for leases previously accounted for as operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months and for leases of low-value assets the Group has applied the optional exemptions to not recognise rightof-use assets but to account for the lease expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.
For those leases previously classified as finance leases, the right-of-use asset and lease liability are measured at the date of initial application at the same amounts as under AASB 117 immediately before the date of initial application.
On transition to AASB 16 the weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognised under AASB 16 was 4.97%.
The Group has benefited from the use of hindsight for determining the lease term when considering options to extend and terminate leases.
The date of initial application of AASB 16 for the Group is 1 July 2019.
Financial impact of the initial application of AASB 16
The tables below show the amount of adjustment for each financial statement line item affected by the application of AASB 16 for the current and prior years.

For tax purposes the Group receives tax deductions in respect of the right-of-use assets and the lease liabilities in a manner consistent with the accounting treatment.
3.2 Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing Standards that are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Group
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, several new, but not yet effective, Standards and amendments to existing Standards, and Interpretations have been published by the AASB. None of these Standards or amendments to existing Standards have been adopted early by the 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 Group’s financial statements.

4 Statement of accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The Group’s financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and under the historical cost convention except for the revaluation of investments. Monetary amounts are expressed in Australian Dollars (AUD) are rounded to the nearest whole dollar.
Basis of consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2020. The parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 30 June.
All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a group perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.
Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary’s profit or loss and net assets that is not held by the Group. The Group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interests based on their respective ownership interests
Business combination
The Group applies the acquisition method in accounting for business combinations.
The consideration transferred by the Group to obtain control of a subsidiary is calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group, which includes the fair value of any asset or liability arising from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.
The Group recognises identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination regardless of whether they have been previously recognised in the acquiree’s financial statements prior to the acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are generally measured at their acquisition-date fair values.
14
GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd and controlled entities Annual financial report For the year ended 30 June 2020
Business combination (continued)
Goodwill is stated after separate recognition of identifiable intangible assets. It is calculated as the excess of the sum of (a) fair value of consideration transferred; (b) the recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; and (c) acquisition-date fair value of any existing equity interest in the acquiree, over the acquisitiondate fair values of identifiable net assets. If the fair values of identifiable net assets exceed the sum calculated above, the excess amount (i.e., gain on a bargain purchase) is recognised in profit or loss immediately.
Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars ($AUD), which is also the functional currency of the Parent Company.
Foreign currency transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the respective 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 not retranslated at year-end and are measured at historical cost (translated using the exchange rates at the date of the transaction), except for non-monetary items measured at fair value which are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined.
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue arises mainly from construction and service contracts.
To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Group follows a 5-step process:
-
Identifying the contract with a customer
-
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 Group often enters into transactions involving a range of the Group’s products and services. 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 Group satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to its customers.
The Group 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 (see Note 20). Similarly, if the Group satisfies a performance obligation before it receives the consideration, the Group 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.
15
GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd and controlled entities Annual financial report For the year ended 30 June 2020
Revenue from contracts with customers (continued)
Construction Contracts
Revenue from construction contracts is recognised in the income statement when the performance obligations are considered met, which can be at a point in time, or over time, depending on the service provided. Revenue is calculated based on the proportion of the contract costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract costs or with regard to specified milestones detailed in the contract agreement. Before applying a particular method, the Group will consider the requirements of the contract, and then apply the method that it considers is the most appropriate measure of the progress towards completion of the contractual performance obligations under AASB 15.
Services revenue
Revenue from the provision of services is recognised when the service has been provided. Each service is deemed a separate performance obligation. The transaction price is allocated to each obligations based on contract prices. Revenue from services is predominantly recognised on the basis of the value of the work completed.
Transaction price and contract modifications
The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the company expects to be entitled to under the customer contract and which is used to value total revenue and is allocated to each performance obligation. The determination of this amount includes “fixed remuneration”, (for example lump sum, schedule of rates or pricing for services) and “variable consideration”.
The main variable consideration elements are claims (contract modifications) and consideration for optional works and provisional sums each of which needs to be assessed. Contract modifications are changes to the contract approved by the parties to the contract.
The right to the consideration show be provided for contractually generating an enforceable right once the enforceable right has been identified, the Group applies the guidance given in AASB 15 in relation to variable consideration. This requires assessment that is highly probable that there will not be a significant reversal of revenue in the future.
The measurement of additional consideration arising from claims is subject to a high level of uncertainty, both in terms of the amount that customers will pay and the collection times, which usually depend on the outcome of negotiations between the parties or decisions taken by judicial/arbitration bodies. The Group considers all relevant aspects in circumstances such as the contract terms, business in negotiating practices of the sector, the Group’s historical experiences with similar contracts and consideration of those factors that affect the variable consideration that are out of control of the Group or other supporting evidence when making the above decision.
Loss making contracts
A provision is made for the difference between expected cost of fulfilling a contract and expected on and portion of the transaction price whether forecast costs are greater than forecast revenue. The provision is recognised in full in a period in which the loss-making contract is identified under AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets .
16
GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd and controlled entities Annual financial report For the year ended 30 June 2020
Revenue from contracts with customers (continued)
Loss making contracts (continued)
Under AASB 137, the assessment of whether a provision needs to be recognised takes place at the contract level and there are no segmentation criteria to apply. As a result, there are some instances where loss provisions recognised in the past have not been recognised under AASB 15 because the contract as a whole is profitable. In addition, when two or more contracts entered into at or near the same time are required to be combined for accounting purposes, AASB 15 requires the Group to perform the assessment of whether the contract is onerous at the level of the combined contracts. The Group also notes that the amount of loss accrued in respect of a loss contract under AASB 111 takes into account an appropriate allocation of construction overheads. This contrasts with AASB 137 where loss accruals may be lower as they are based on the identification of ‘unavoidable costs’.
Interest and dividend income
Interest income and expenses are reported on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. Dividend income, other than those from investments in associates, are recognised at the time the right to receive payment is established.
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.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and reported in ‘finance costs’ (see Note 7).
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognised. See Business Combinations (above) for information on how goodwill is initially determined. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Refer to impairment testing note below for a description of impairment testing procedures.
Property, plant and equipment
Land and buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, are stated in the statement of financial position at cost, less any recognised impairment loss.
17
GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd and controlled entities Annual financial report For the year ended 30 June 2020
Property, plant and equipment (continued)
Properties held for production, supply or administrative purposes, or for purposes not yet determined, are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
Depreciation on revalued buildings is recognised in profit or loss. On the subsequent sale or retirement of a revalued property, the attributable revaluation surplus remaining in the asset revaluation reserve is transferred directly to retained earnings. No transfer is made from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings except when an asset is derecognised.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
Fixtures and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
| Class of fixed asset | Depreciation rate |
|---|---|
| Buildings: | 10% |
| Leasehold improvements: | 10%-33% |
| Plant and equipment: | 10%-33% |
| Leased plant and equipment: | 10%-33% |
| Tools and low value assets | 18.8%-100% |
| Software and computer equipment | 33% |
| Motor vehicles | 20% - 25% |
Depreciation rates and methods shall be reviewed at least annually and, where changed, shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. Where depreciation rates or methods are changed, the net written down value of the asset is depreciated from the date of the change in accordance with the new depreciation rate or method. Depreciation recognised in prior financial years shall not be changed, that is, the change in depreciation rate or method shall be accounted for on a ‘prospective’ basis.
Assets held under leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets. However, when there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained by the end of the lease term, assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
18
GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd and controlled entities Annual financial report For the year ended 30 June 2020
Property, plant and equipment (continued)
Leased assets
As described in Note 3, the 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 IFRIC 4.
Accounting policy applicable from 1 June 2019.
The Group as lessee
For any new contracts entered into on or after 1 June 2019, the 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 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 Group
-
the 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 Group has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. The 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 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 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 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 right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The Group also assesses the right-of-use asset for impairment when such indicators exist.
At the commencement date, the 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 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.
The right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position.
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 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.

Measurement and recognition of leases as a lessee (continued)
The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Accounting policy applicable before 1 July 2019
The Group as a lessee
Finance leases
Management applies judgment in considering the substance of a lease agreement and whether it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset. Key factors considered include the length of the lease term in relation to the economic life of the asset, the present value of the minimum lease payments in relation to the asset’s fair value, and whether the Group obtains ownership of the asset at the end of the lease term.
For leases of land and buildings, the minimum lease payments are first allocated to each component based on the relative fair values of the respective lease interests. Each component is then evaluated separately for possible treatment as a finance lease, taking into consideration the fact that land normally has an indefinite economic life.
See Property, Plant and Equipment note (above) for the depreciation methods and useful lives for assets held under finance leases. The interest element of lease payments is charged to profit or loss, as finance costs over the period of the lease.
Operating leases
All other leases are treated as operating leases. Where the 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.
Impairment testing of goodwill, other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment
For impairment assessment purposes, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely independent cash inflows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level. Goodwill is allocated to those cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from synergies of the related business combination and represent the lowest level within the Group at which management monitors goodwill.
20
GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd and controlled entities Annual financial report For the year ended 30 June 2020
Impairment testing of goodwill, other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment (continued)
Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated (determined by the Group’s management as equivalent to its operating segments) are tested for impairment at least annually. All other individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. To determine the value-in-use, management estimates expected future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines a suitable interest rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.
The data used for impairment testing procedures are directly linked to the Group’s latest approved budget, adjusted as necessary to exclude the effects of future reorganisations and asset enhancements. Discount factors are determined individually for each cash-generating unit and reflect management’s assessment of respective risk profiles, such as market and asset-specific risks factors.
Impairment losses for cash-generating units reduce first the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to that cash-generating unit. Any remaining impairment loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in the cashgenerating unit. With the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist. An impairment charge is reversed if the cashgenerating unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.
Financial instruments
Recognition and derecognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognized when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.
Classification and initial measurement
Financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).
Financial assets are classified into the following categories:
-
amortised cost
-
fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
-
fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
In the periods presented, the Group does not have any financial assets categorized as FVOCI.
The classification is determined by both:
-
the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset
-
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
21
GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd and controlled entities Annual financial report For the year ended 30 June 2020
Financial instruments (continued)
Classification and initial measurement (continued)
All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognized 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 of 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 FVTPL):
-
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.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets that are held within a different business model other than ‘hold to collect’ or ‘hold to collect and sell’ are categorised at fair value through profit and loss. Further, irrespective of business model financial assets whose contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest are accounted for at FVTPL.
The category also contains an equity investment. The Group accounts for the investment at FVTPL and did not make the irrevocable election to account for the investment in Volt Power Pty Ltd at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The fair value was determined in line with the requirements of AASB 9, which does not allow for measurement at cost.
Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. The fair values of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists.
Impairment of financial assets
AASB 9’s impairment requirements use more forward-looking information to recognise expected credit losses – the ‘expected credit loss (ECL) model’. This replaced IAS 39’s ‘incurred loss 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.
Recognition of credit losses is no longer dependent on the Group first identifying a credit loss event. Instead the 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.
22
GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd and controlled entities Annual financial report For the year ended 30 June 2020
Financial instruments (continued)
Impairment of financial assets (continued)
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.
‘12-month 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 Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables as well as contract assets and records the loss allowance as lifetime expected credit losses. These are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows, considering the potential for default at any point during the life of the financial instrument. In calculating, the Group uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix.
The Group assess impairment of trade receivables on a collective basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics they have been grouped based on the days past due. Refer to Note 33 for a detailed analysis of how the impairment requirements of AASB 9 are applied.
Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
The 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 Group 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 FVTPL, 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.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs of inventories are determined on a firstin-first-out basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
23
GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd and controlled entities Annual financial report For the year ended 30 June 2020
Taxation
Tax consolidation
The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities are members of a tax-consolidated group under Australian tax law. The Company is the head entity within the tax-consolidated group. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the Company also recognises the current tax liabilities and assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and relevant tax credits of the members of the taxconsolidated group.
Amounts payable or receivable under the tax-funding arrangement between the Company and the entities in the tax consolidated group are determined using a ‘separate taxpayer within group’* approach to determine the tax contribution amounts payable or receivable by each member of the tax-consolidated group. This approach results in the tax effect of transactions being recognised in the legal entity where that transaction occurred, and does not tax effect transactions that have no tax consequences to the group. The same basis is used for tax allocation within the tax-consolidated group.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit before tax as reported in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company’s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Adjustments are made for transactions and events occurring within the tax-consolidated group that do not give rise to a tax consequence for the Company or that have a different tax consequence at the level of the entity.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Adjustments are made for transactions and events occurring within the tax-consolidated group that do not give rise to a tax consequence for the Company or that have a different tax consequence at the level of the entity.
Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
24
GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd and controlled entities Annual financial report For the year ended 30 June 2020
Taxation (continued)
Deferred tax (continued)
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
For the purposes of measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets for investment properties that are measured using the fair value model, the carrying amounts of such properties are presumed to be recovered entirely through sale, unless the presumption is rebutted. The presumption is rebutted when the investment property is depreciable and is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale. The directors of the Company reviewed the Company's investment property portfolios and concluded that none of the Company's investment properties are held under a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment properties over time, rather than through sale. Therefore, the directors have determined that the ‘sale’ presumption set out in the amendments to AASB 112 is not rebutted.
Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, together with other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
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.
Other components of equity include the following:
- Corporate restructure reserve: comprises amounts recognised upon the introduction of a new ultimate parent entity.
25
GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd and controlled entities Annual financial report For the year ended 30 June 2020
Equity, reserves and dividend payments (continued)
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.
Employee benefits
Short-term and long-term employee benefits
Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits, are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.
Liabilities recognised in respect of long-term employee benefits are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is material).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:
-
Where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense, or
-
For receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified within operating cash flows.
26
GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd and controlled entities Annual financial report For the year ended 30 June 2020
Government grants
Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.
Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.
Government assistance which does not have conditions attached specifically relating to the operating activities of the Group is recognised in accordance with the accounting policies above.
Significant management judgement in applying accounting policies and estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described (above), the directors of the Group are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical judgements in applying accounting policies
The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations, that the directors have made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Construction contract revenue
Recognised amounts of construction contract revenues and related receivables reflect management’s best estimate of each contract’s outcome and stage of completion. For more complex contracts in particular, costs to complete and contract profitability are subject to significant estimation uncertainty.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below or elsewhere in the financial statements:
Impairment of non-financial assets and goodwill
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.
Calculation of loss allowance
When measuring ECL the Group uses reasonable and supportable forward looking information, which is based on assumptions for the future movement of different economic drivers and how these drivers will affect each other.
27
GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd and controlled entities Annual financial report For the year ended 30 June 2020
Key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)
Calculation of loss allowance (continued)
Loss given default is an estimate of the loss arising on default. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the lender would expect to receive, taking into account cash flows from collateral and integral credit enhancements.
Probability of default constitutes a key input in measuring ECL. Probability of default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon, the calculation of which includes historical data, assumptions and expectations of future conditions.
The Group maintains insurance against Domestic Trade Credit defaults and therefore considers the risk of loss to be minimal.
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets.
Fair value measurements and valuation processes
Some of the Group's assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for financial reporting purposes.
In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market-observable data to the extent it is available.
Business combinations
Management uses valuation techniques in determining the fair values of the various elements of a business combination. Particularly, the fair value of contingent consideration is dependent on the outcome of many variables that affect future profitability.

Group as a lessee
The Group has lease contracts for land and buildings and for various items of plant, motor vehicles and other equipment used in its operations. Leases of plant and equipment and motor vehicles and other equipment generally have lease terms between 3 and 5 years, whilst leases over land and buildings have lease terms of between 1 and 10 years. The Groups obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor title to the leased assets. Generally, the Group is restricted from assigning and subleasing the leased assets. There are several lease contracts that include extension and termination options and variable lease payments, which are further discussed below.
The Group also has certain leases of office equipment with low value. The Group applies the ‘short-term lease’ and ‘lease of low-value assets’ recognition exemptions for these leases.
Set out below are the carrying amounts of right-of-use assets and the movement during the period:

33 Financial risk management
Risk management objectives and policies
The Group is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments. The Group’s financial assets and liabilities by category are summarised in Note 12. The main types of risks are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Group’s risk management is coordinated at its headquarters, in close cooperation with the Board of Directors, and focuses on actively securing the Group’s short to medium-term cash flows by minimising the exposure to financial markets. Long-term financial investments are managed to generate lasting returns.
The Group does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes nor does it write options. The most significant financial risks to which the Group is exposed are described below.
Market risk analysis
The Group is exposed to market risk through its use of financial instruments and specifically to currency risk, interest rate risk and certain other price risks, which result from both its operating and investing activities.
50
GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd and controlled entities Annual financial report For the year ended 30 June 2020
33 Financial risk management (continued)
Foreign currency sensitivity
Most of the Group’s transactions are carried out in Australian Dollars (AUD). Exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the Group’s sales and purchases denominated in US-Dollars (USD). A contract commencing during the 30 June 2020 financial year required the settlement of certain transactions in USD. The Group holds a bank account in USD for this purpose.
The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk was limited to the period between the initial recognition of the advance funding receivable in USD and the date funds were deposited. The exchange rate movement in this period was considered immaterial for adjustment. Any exchange rate difference would have impacted the balance sheet only, and would have nil effect, being offset by a short-term financial liability.
To mitigate the Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk, non-AUD cash flows are monitored in accordance with the Group’s risk management policies. Generally, the Group’s risk management procedures distinguish shortterm foreign currency cash flows (due within six months) from longer-term cash flows (due after six months).
Where the amounts to be paid and received in a specific currency are expected to largely offset one another, no hedging activity is undertaken.
Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities which expose the Group to currency risk are disclosed below. The amounts shown are those reported to key management translated into AUD at the closing rate:
| rate: | ||||

| 2020 | 2020 | 2019 | 2019 | |

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit and equity in respect of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities and the AUD/USD exchange rate ‘all other things being equal’. It assumes a +/- 10% change of the AUD/USD exchange rate for the year ended at 30 June 2020 (2019: 10%). The percentage has been determined based on the average market volatility in exchange rates in the previous 12 months. The sensitivity analysis is based on the Group’s foreign currency financial instruments held at each reporting date. For the year ended 30 June 2020, the impact has been assessed as nil. Financial assets subject to currency sensitivity were received on 30 June 2020, and valued at the exchange rate applicable on that date. There was no foreign currency exposure for the year ended 30 June 2019.
If the Australian Dollar (AUD) had strengthened against the US-Dollar (USD) by 10% (2019: 10%) then this would have had the following impact:

Exposures to foreign exchange rates vary during the year depending on the volume of overseas transactions. Nonetheless, the analysis above is considered to be representative of the Group’s exposure to currency risk.
Interest rate sensitivity
The Group’s policy is to minimise interest rate cash flow risk exposures on long-term financing. Longer-term borrowings are therefore usually at fixed rates. At 30 June 2020, the Group is exposed to changes in market interest rates through bank borrowings at variable interest rates. Other borrowings are at fixed interest rates. The exposure to interest rates for the Group’s money market funds is considered immaterial.
The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit and equity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates of +/- 1% (2019: +/- 1%). These changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on observation of current market conditions. The calculations are based on a change in the average market interest rate for each period, and the financial instruments held at each reporting date that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. All other variables are held constant.

Other price risk sensitivity
The Group is exposed to other price risk in respect of the investment in Volt Power Limited (ASX: VPR).
For the listed investment in Volt Power Limited, an average volatility of 50% has been observed during 2020 (2019: 150%). Volatility at the lower end of this scale is considered a suitable basis for estimating how profit or loss and equity would have been affected by changes in market risk that were reasonably possible at the reporting date due to the relatively low volumes traded. If the quoted stock price for VPR increased or decreased by that amount, profit or loss and equity would have changed by $461,000 (2019: $130,000).
The investment in VPR is considered a long-term, strategic investment. In accordance with the Group’s policies, no specific hedging activities are undertaken in relation to this investment. The investment is continuously monitored and voting rights arising from the equity instrument are utilised in the Group’s favour.

Credit risk analysis
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Group. The Group is exposed to credit risk from financial assets including cash and cash equivalents held at banks, trade and other receivables and contract assets.
The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognised at the reporting date, as summarised below:
| the reporting date, as summarised below: | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2020 $ |
2019 $ |
|
| Classes of financial assets | ||

| •contract assets | 8,244,464 | 2,938,770 |
| 81,618,716 | 31,651,256 |
Credit risk management
The credit risk is managed on a group basis based on the Group’s credit risk management policies and procedures.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Group’s cash and cash equivalents are held with major reputable financial institutions.
Trade receivables and contract assets
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer and contract with customer. The demographics of the Group’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customers operate, has less of an influence on credit risk. Geographically, the concentration of credit risk is within Australia and, by industry, the concentration is within the commercial infrastructure and resources industries.
The Group continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either by individual or group and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. The Group’s policy is to deal only with creditworthy counterparties. The ongoing credit risk is managed through regular review of ageing analysis, together with credit limits per customer.
The Group does not require collateral in respect of trade receivables and contract assets.
To mitigate the impact of any single credit default, the Group maintains a policy of Trade Credit Insurance that provides protection in the event of default.
The Group’s management considers that all the above financial assets that are not impaired or past due for each of the reporting dates under review are of good credit quality.

||
| 41,897,458 (77,449) 23,736,621 (76,966) |
The provision of $77,449 relates to expected credit losses. Impairment provision related to specific debts that are more than one year overdue pertains to a small number of customers. The Group continues to strongly pursue all debts provided for.
The Group has established an allowance for impairment that represents their expected credit losses in respect of trade receivables and contract assets.
The Group recognises a provision for impairment related to expected credit losses (“ECLs”) for trade receivables, contract assets and other debt financial assets not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate.
For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group uses a provision matrix to calculate the ECLs. The provision matrix is established based on the Group’s historically observed default rates. The Group calibrates the matrix to adjust historical credit loss experience with forward looking factors specific to debtors and the economic environment where appropriate. At every reporting date, historical default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed. To date, the Group has not observed or expects to see material decline in its customers’ abilities to pay as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic due in part to the nature of those customers, which mainly includes large private sector corporations and government organisations, meaning the risk of default of receivables is low. Accordingly, no additional expected credit loss allowance pertaining to the Coronavirus pandemic have been included.
The assessment of the correlation between historical observed default rates, forecast of economic conditions and ECLs is a significant estimate. The amount of ECLs is sensitive to changes in circumstances and of forecasts in economic conditions. The Group’s historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may also not be representative of customer’s actual default in the future.

Credit risk analysis (continued)
Impairment losses (continued)
The Group considers a financial asset’s potential for default when contractual payments are more than 120 days past due, factoring in other qualitative indicators where appropriate. Exception shall apply to financial assets that relate to entities under common controls or covered by letter of credit or credit insurance. However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
Liquidity risk analysis
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group might be unable to meet its obligations. The Group manages its liquidity needs by monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as forecast cash inflows and outflows due in day-to-day business. The data used for analysing these cash flows is consistent with that used in the contractual maturity analysis below. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a week-to-week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 30-day projection. Long-term liquidity needs for a 180 to 360 day lookout period are identified monthly. Net cash requirements are compared to available borrowing facilities in order to determine headroom or any shortfalls. This analysis shows that available borrowing facilities are expected to be sufficient over the lookout period.
The Group’s objective is to maintain cash and marketable securities to meet its liquidity requirements for 30-day periods at a minimum. This objective was met for the reporting periods. Funding for long-term liquidity needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to sell long-term financial assets.
The Group considers expected cash flows from financial assets in assessing and managing liquidity risk, in particular its cash resources and trade receivables. The Group’s existing cash resources and trade receivables (see Note 8) significantly exceed the current cash outflow requirements. Cash flows from trade and other receivables are all contractually due within three months.
As at 30 June 2020, the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities have contractual maturities (including interest payments where applicable) as summarised below:
| Current | Non-current | |||

34 Fair value measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into three levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:
-
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
-
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
-
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability
-
The following table shows the levels within the hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019:
| Level 1 $ |

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 in 2020 or 2019.
Measurement of fair value of financial instruments
The Group’s finance team performs valuations of financial items for financial reporting purposes, including Level 3 fair values, in consultation with third party valuation specialists for complex valuations. Valuation techniques are selected based on the characteristics of each instrument, with the overall objective of maximising the use of market-based information. The finance team reports to the Audit Committee. Valuation processes and fair value changes are discussed among the Audit Committee and the valuation team at least every year, in line with the Group’s reporting dates.
The valuation techniques used for instruments categorised in Levels 2 are described below. There were no instruments categorised as Level 3.
Level 2 fair value measurements
Contingent consideration (Level 2)
The fair value of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Burton Power (see Note 31) has been determined through analysis of past profitability against management targets, estimated future cash-flows and achievement of targets agreed in the purchase agreement.
The following table provides information about the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in the most significant inputs:

35 Capital management policies and procedures
The Group’s capital management objectives are:
-
to ensure the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern
-
to provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk.
The Group monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of equity plus its bank loans and other financial liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents as presented on the face of the statement of financial position.
The Group’s goal in capital management is to ensure compliance with the Group’s covenants relating to its commercial financing arrangements. These covenants measure the Group’s Debt Service Cover, Gross Leverage and Liquidity Ratios, as well as requiring maintenance of a minimum Tangible Net Worth. The Group has met all its covenant obligations, since the commercial loan was taken out.
Management assesses the Group’s capital requirements in order to maintain an efficient overall financing structure while avoiding excessive leverage. The amounts managed as capital by the Group for the reporting periods under review are summarised as follows:
| 2020 $ |
2019 $ |
|
|---|---|---|
| Total equity | 42,810,655 | 24,792,355 |
| Financial liabilities | 5,346,159 | 4,032,507 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | (39,798,707) | (7,991,601) |
| Capital | 8,358,107 | 20,833,261 |
| Total equity | 42,810,655 | 24,792,355 |
| Borrowings | 5,346,159 | 4,032,507 |
| Overall financing | 48,156,814 | 28,824,862 |
| Capital-to-overall financing ratio | 0.17 | 0.72 |
The ratio reduction during 2020 is primarily a result of new equity funding to enable the Group to expand its operating capacity (see Note 24).

Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s financial 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’ for the financial report
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 . The Directors’ responsibility also includes such internal control as the Directors 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 are responsible for assessing the 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 either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
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.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar3.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
