Review of operations and financial results

A summary of the key financial performance metrics for the current financial year (FY2024) is provided below, with comments on significant movements compared to the financial year ended 30 June 2023.

The Group reported total revenue of $551,189,613, compared to $444,178,894 in FY2023, a 24.1% increase. The growth during the period was driven by increased activity across all 3 segments. The Group benefitted from favourable market conditions particularly in the Industrial Services segment which saw an increase in activity in the new energy sector.

The higher revenue resulted in an increase in the Normalised EBITDA to $45.3 million, 23.2% higher than FY2023 ($36.8 million). Note: EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure that is unaudited but derived from audited FY2024 Financial Statements. This measure is presented to provide shareholders with further insight into the Group’s performance.

Depreciation and Amortisation of $14.9 million, was down 2.4% from FY2023 of $15.2 million. While interest costs rose during the period, this was more than offset by increased interest income which resulted in net finance costs reducing 27.8% to $1 million, from $1.4 million in FY2023.

The net profit of the Group for the financial year after providing for income tax amounted to $19,262,038, an increase of 44.2% compared to $13,405,524 in FY2023.

The overall strong FY2024 results has created a solid platform for future strong growth with significant progress made to position the Group to be an active participant in the transition to renewable energy.

GenusPlus Group Ltd and controlled entities Annual Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024

The diversification that is being built into the business has helped maintain strong profitability of the Group. East coast revenue has grown to 35% during 2024 (2023: 34%).

The Group has a strong cash position increasing Cash at bank to $101 million at 30 June 2024, up from $46.7 million in FY2023. Net cash (cash and cash equivalents less bank debts, excluding right-of-use debts) is up to $77.3 million compared to $22.4 million in 2023.

The Group’s net assets increased by $16,190,309 which reflects earnings in the year net of dividend payments.

The acquisitions which occurred during the year are in line with the Group’s strategy to strengthen its geographical position and to take advantage of significant infrastructure investment in new markets. Refer to Note 36.

	FY2024 $	FY2023 $	Change %

Pipeline

The Group continues to achieve significant growth in its business underpinned by existing contracted work, recurring revenue from regular clients, and anticipated revenue from its existing tender pipeline of works.

Revenue from recurring works including long term customer/panel revenue and revenue from long term supply & maintenance contracts, and the current outstanding orderbook for FY2025 has grown and the platform is there for the Group to sustain continued growth.

In addition to the tendered pipeline there are further significant budgets and opportunities in progress. Work on initial budgets for clients, which are not yet at formal tender stage, is common in our industry and helps provide Genus with insights into the long term requirements for its services.

Genus is seeing the pipeline for the transition of the Australian transmission network grow substantially. In addition to the major investment in the transmission network and battery storage around Australia, Genus is well positioned to construct connections to the new transmission network from new energy power sources and renewable energy zones.

GenusPlus Group Ltd and controlled entities Annual Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024

Outlook

Strong momentum generated in FY2024 provides a solid base to support earnings growth in FY2025. Genus expects to continue its strong growth in the medium term with a large pipeline of renewables and transmission projects to drive medium to long term growth in the business.

The Group expects to see continued growth from its east coast operations and increase in services revenue in FY2025. The increase focus on the power network around Australia should see significant opportunities present during the coming 1020 years as the network goes through a substantial transition from traditional energy source of coal to generation from new and renewable energy.

Growth Strategy

Significant investment has been put into growing the east coast presence of Genus to be positioned for the substantial investment required to the power network over the next 10-20 years. Substantial progress has been made by Genus in expanding the business into the much larger east coast markets, which now represents 35% of revenue of the business. During the year the company acquired 100% of Prasinus Energy Services Pty Ltd in Victoria. The acquisition of Prasinus is aligned to the Group’s geographic growth strategy by expanding its service offering within the growing Eastern Australian market and marks the first permanent operations within Victoria. The finalisation of the Blue Tongue Energy acquisition enables GenusPlus to further its service offerings in the battery energy storage and renewables sectors.

Genus Communications was awarded a 3-year Master Module Agreement with nbn in July 2023 pursuant to which nbn has awarded the N2P Evolution Module to deploy additional fibre infrastructure for nbn which includes the provision of specialist planning, design and construction of nbn broadband infrastructure. This is a key opportunity alongside Genus’ contract with Telstra to grow the Communications business. The foundations of the business remain in place to enable Genus to take advantage of the large ongoing spend in the communications industry.

To effectively serve our clients across the nation and establish ourselves as the contractor of choice, we are committed to investing in the specialised plant and equipment necessary for our operations.

We remain receptive towards further M&A opportunities to continue our growth trajectory through acquisitions and organically into new geographical locations and service offerings, expanding our national footprint.

GenusPlus Group Ltd and controlled entities Annual Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024

Likely developments

The Group will continue to seek opportunities to provide its services in installation, construction and maintenance of power and communication systems across Australia.

The Group’s strategy includes:

Continuing to replicate its successful business model to penetrate the large east coast markets, including growing its strategic acquisitions in Victoria, Tasmania, NSW and QLD;
Pursue substation and battery energy system projects, utilising the ability to be more selective on projects given the strength of the Genus brand;
Taking advantage of the expected growth in electrical network infrastructure spending by public and private utility companies in Australia;
Taking advantage of the expected growth in resources sector activity and related electrical network infrastructure construction;
Continuing to maintain and grow its recurring works including long term customer/panel revenue and revenue from long term supply & maintenance contracts to provide a stable base line of year on year revenue;
Continuing to grow the Communications business in the large telecommunications sector;
Continuing to maintain and develop new customer relationships;
Continuing to maintain Genus’ culture and significant investment into staff training; and
Continuing to maintain its diversification between the Government utilities and the private sectors.

Risk Management

In managing risk, Genus has adopted a proactive approach aligned with ISO31000 and the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations 4th Edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Council.

Genus endeavours to strike the correct balance between managing risks and making effective risk-reward decisions. Given the breadth, scale and geographies of Genus’ operations, Genus is exposed to a wide range of factors which have the potential to impact it. It has controls in place to attempt to manage and mitigate risks where it is practicable and efficient to do so, although there is no guarantee that these efforts will be successful. Below is an overview of:

(i) some key material risks Genus is exposed to which could potentially have a material adverse impact on the financial condition and results of Genus’ operations; and
(ii) how it manages those risks. These risks are not set out in any particular order and are not intended as an exhaustive list of all the uncertainties and risks Genus is or may be exposed to.

Winning New Work and Competition

Genus’ performance is impacted by its ability to win and complete new contracts. Any failure by Genus to continue to win new contracts will impact its financial performance and position. Genus operates in a competitive market against domestic and international suppliers, and there is a risk that due to competitor actions and market pressures Genus’ pricing may come under pressure.

Genus endeavours to secure and sustain high-quality projects supported by strong financial and commercial practices, with a disciplined approach to pricing. Nevertheless, there exists inherent unpredictability in pricing projects due to the risks prevalent in our operating environment. Genus is focusing on promoting and building its brand, and on delivering to its customers through excellent service delivery.

Financial

Maintaining financial stability is crucial for Genus’ long-term success, and a failure by Genus to maintain this financial stability could adversely impact its operations and financial performance.

Genus actively monitors and manages financial risks through prudent financial planning, budgeting, and risk assessment processes. Genus continuously evaluates market conditions, manages currency risks, and maintain robust financial controls

GenusPlus Group Ltd and controlled entities Annual Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024

and reporting mechanisms. By adhering to these procedures, Genus aims to safeguard its financial performance and ensure the sustainable growth of its business.

Liquidity Risk

This refers to the potential inability of Genus to meet its financial obligations when they become due. This risk can arise from factors such as counterparty risk, underperforming projects, and challenges in efficiently managing cash.

Genus manages this risk 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, and with a comprehensive insurance program providing protection against key risks and losses.

Further information can be found in Note 39 of this Annual Financial Report.

Financing Risk

Genus has financing facilities with external financiers. A default under any of these facilities could result in withdrawal of financial support or an increase in the cost of financing. Genus manages this risk by monitoring banking covenants regularly and reporting to the financiers quarterly. Regular meetings are held with the financiers to keep them abreast of the Group performance where existing and new facility requirements are discussed.

Bank Guarantee and Insurance Bond Facilities

Genus’ customers often require Genus to provide security in the form of bank guarantees or insurance bonds. As Genus wins more and larger contracts, its bank guarantee and insurance bond facilities are reduced and this could constrain or inhibit Genus in taking on new work.

Genus manages this risk through early engagement and negotiation with the providers of its facilities, seeking new or additional facilities as required, and actively managing the return of outstanding guarantees and bonds.

Project Delivery, Margins and Operations

Execution and delivery of projects involves judgement regarding the planning, development and operation of complex operating facilities and equipment. Genus’ operations, cash flows and liquidity could be affected if the resources or time needed to complete a project are miscalculated, if it fails to meet contractual obligations, or if it encounters delays or unspecified conditions. Cost overruns, unfavourable contract outcomes, serious or continued operational failure, adverse industrial relations outcomes, disruption at key facilities, disruptions to information and communication systems or a safety incident have the potential to have an adverse financial impact. Genus is also exposed to input costs through its operations, such as the cost of fuel and energy sources, equipment and personnel. To the extent that these costs cannot be passed on to customers in a timely manner, or at all, Genus’ financial performance could be adversely affected.

Genus employs project management methodologies to ensure timely and efficient completion of projects while maintaining high-quality standards. It continuously evaluates project risks, employs project risk mitigation strategies, and monitors project progress closely. By implementing effective project controls and optimising operational efficiencies, Genus aims to deliver projects within budget and protect its margins.

Labour Cost and Availability

Genus’ growth and profitability may be limited by loss of key operating personnel, inability to recruit and retain skilled and experienced employees or by increases in compensation costs. The growth of activity in the power sector has increased demand for quality resources, creating a tightening market and upward pressures to secure skilled leaders, professionals and personnel.

The Group mitigates these risks by taking a proactive and adaptable approach. The Group regularly plans workforce requirements, utilising human resource management software to streamline processes to track workforce data, and through contingency planning, and training and internal promotion. It continues to work on embedding its values, desired organisational culture, and Code of Conduct throughout the Group as it carefully selects and promotes leaders who demonstrate the desired skill, values and behaviours that underpin its brand.

GenusPlus Group Ltd and controlled entities Annual Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024

Contract Pricing Risk

If relevant internal processes are not complied with or if Genus materially underestimates the cost of providing services, equipment, or plant, there is a risk of a negative impact on its financial performance.

Genus has strong internal tendering and commercial review processes aimed at ensuring relevant costs and commercial risks are identified and priced into its bids.

Interruption to operations

Operations can be interrupted due to factors beyond Genus’ control, including prolonged heavy rainfall or cyclones, geological instability, accidents or unsafe conditions, equipment breakdowns, industrial relations issues and scarcity of materials and equipment. Interruptions to existing operations or delays in commencing operations may result in lost revenue and, in some circumstances, additional costs for Genus, adversely affecting Genus’ business, results of operations, and financial condition. Genus also depends on its clients’ assessments of the financial viability of their projects, ensuring they have access to sufficient funding to meet project working capital and debt covenant requirements. If a client fails to obtain sufficient funding or meet its working capital or debt covenant requirements, the client may scale back or cancel its contract with Genus, adversely impacting Genus’ financial performance.

Genus mitigates these risks by looking to agree contract terms and conditions to ensure operational interruptions outside of Genus’ control are appropriately priced into the tender, or relief under the contract terms and conditions is prescribed to ensure fair and equitable outcomes. Genus works closely with its clients to understand their issues and identify opportunities where Genus can assist in minimising the impact of the identified issues.

Health and Safety

Genus may experience incidents, including life-changing events which have the potential to cause physical or psychological harm. This could result in the loss of a contract, have an adverse impact to Genus’ reputation, and potentially difficulty in winning new work.

Genus is committed to providing a systematic process to manage risks around health and safety. Health and Safety is the first item discussed at Board and other internal meetings, regular safety audits are undertaken, and it has ongoing employee engagement initiatives to promote a strong safety culture. Genus has established a Health, Safety, Environment and Quality ( SHEQ ) management system aligned with the Australian standards. The systems encompass various key aspects:

Integration of psychosocial hazards into operational risk management practices, ensuring comprehensive identification and mitigation of potential risks.
Provision of appropriate training, supervision, and resources to promote a safe working environment.
Implementation of High-Risk Standards and verification processes to establish a framework for managing high-risk incidents that could lead to severe injuries or fatalities.
Regular review and audit of SHEQ processes and controls to ensure ongoing effectiveness and compliance.
Monitoring of periodic SHEQ reporting and SHEQ bulletins at the Group level to identify trends, areas for improvement, and to take prompt action when necessary.

Cyber Security

The potential for cyber security attacks, misuse and release of sensitive information are ongoing and real risks to Genus.

Genus has been reviewing and in the process of implementing and upgrading a number of cybersecurity measures to protect its IT infrastructure, networks, and sensitive data. These measures include investing in systems and infrastructure, firewalls, encryption protocols, regular vulnerability assessments, and employee training on data security best practices, and implementing:

Information security management systems to ensure comprehensive protection and management of information assets.
Utilisation of anti-malware and endpoint detection and response software to detect and prevent malicious activities on our systems.

GenusPlus Group Ltd and controlled entities Annual Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024

Implementation of multi-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security by requiring multiple forms of identification for access.
Developing business resilience plans that specifically address cyber-related scenarios to ensure continuity of operations in the event of an incident.

Climate Change and Carbon Emissions

The transition to a low-carbon economy with heightened focus on carbon emissions and the significant increased regulation and focus in these areas has resulted in growing pressure on companies to disclose their measures for identifying and managing climate related risks.

Genus will seek continual improvements in energy efficiency across its business to understand and reduce the carbon intensity of operations and is reviewing and gathering data required for reporting.

Social, legal and compliance

Genus is subject to a broad range of laws, regulations and standards in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Changes in laws and regulations, and non-compliance due to inadequate processes or systems or by people and /or through conduct could lead to losses and liabilities, reputational damage and business interruption. Failure to meet the increasing expectations of Genus’ stakeholders could impact future plans, reputation and its ability to operate. Failure to comply with regulatory requirements or take satisfactory corrective action in response to adverse inspection findings could result in enforcement actions. Genus operates in a regulated environment with the potential for significant penalties for noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations or more stringent implementation of laws and regulations could adversely impact Genus, including increased expenses, capital expenditure and costs. Genus is also dependent on various technical and financial accreditations to operate the business, including safety accreditations, quality assurance standards, technical accreditations and financial accreditations. Any failure to maintain or comply with accreditation can impact Genus’ eligibility to participate in certain projects and sectors.

Genus mitigates this through: monitoring regulatory and legislative changes that impact the organisation and ensuring Genus is monitoring and up to date with its compliance obligations and modifying procedures and protocols to meet its regulatory obligations; embedding its values and Code of Conduct and associated policies, which are covered in mandatory training; its whistleblower policy and procedure; Modern Slavery risk management including supplier risk assessment process and annual reporting through the Modern Slavery Statement; and, its Reconciliation Action Plan.

Unfavourable changes in the business environment or operating conditions

Key assumptions relating to the operating environment (including potential disruption events) and/or budget forecasts may prove to be incorrect.

Genus mitigates this through identifying and managing strategic and emerging risks and as part of the risk management framework; continued review and management of its cost base; continuous financial model review and evaluation; and, consideration of the macroeconomic environment.

Dependency on third parties and critical supply chains

Delays and disruption could be experienced with supply chains due to the impact of macroeconomic factors on supply chains and logistics.

Genus mitigates this by monitoring the macroeconomic environment which could impact its operations and supply chains and looking to agree contract terms and conditions to ensure operational interruptions outside of Genus’ control are appropriately priced into the tender, or relief under the contract terms and conditions is prescribed to ensure fair and equitable outcomes.

to drive a high performance culture by setting challenging objectives and rewarding high performing individuals; and
to ensure remuneration is competitive in the relevant employment market place to support the attraction, motivation and retention of executive talent

GenusPlus Group Ltd has structured a remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the Group.

GenusPlus Group Ltd and controlled entities Annual Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024

The Board has established a Nomination and Remuneration Committee which operates in accordance with its charter as approved by the Board and is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors and the Executive Team.

The Committee has engaged independent remuneration consultants to provide any necessary information to assist in the discharge of its responsibilities (refer to the disclosures below).

The remuneration structure that has been adopted by the Group consists of the following components:

fixed remuneration being annual salary; and
short term incentives, being employee share schemes and bonuses

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee assess the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration on a periodic basis by reference to recent employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and Executive Team.

The payment of bonuses, share options and other incentive payments are reviewed by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee annually as part of the review of executive remuneration and a recommendation is put to the Board for approval. All bonuses, options and incentives must be linked to pre-determined performance criteria.

Short Term Incentive (STI)

GenusPlus Group Ltd performance measures involve the use of annual performance objectives, metrics, performance appraisals and continuing emphasis on living the Company values.

The performance measures are set annually after consultation with the Directors and executives and are specifically tailored to the areas where each executive has a level of control. The measures target areas the Board believes hold the greatest potential for expansion and profit and cover financial and non-financial measures.

The Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the Executive Team are summarised as follows:

Performance areas

financial: operating profit and earnings per share; and
non-financial: strategic goals set by each individual business unit based on job descriptions

The STI Program incorporates only cash components for the Executive Team and other employees.

The Board may, at its discretion, award bonuses for exceptional performance in relation to each person’s pre-agreed KPIs.

Long Term Incentive (LTI)

The Company considered that it was desirable to adopt two new employee incentive schemes pursuant to which the Company can issue Equity Securities to attract, motivate and retain key Directors, employees and consultants and provide them with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

Environmental regulations

The Group’s operations are subject to the environmental regulations that apply to our clients.

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

Insurance of officers

During the year, GenusPlus Group Ltd paid a premium to insure officers of the Group. The officers of the Group covered by the insurance policy include all Directors.

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

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

The Group has not otherwise, during or since the end of the financial year, except to the extent permitted by law, indemnified or agreed to indemnify any current or former officer of the Group against a liability incurred as such by an officer.

Indemnity of auditors

The Group has agreed to indemnify its auditors, Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd, to the extent permitted by law, against any claim by a third party arising from the Group’s breach of its agreement. The indemnity requires the Group to meet the full amount of any such liabilities including a reasonable amount of legal costs.

Non-audit services

During the year, Grant Thornton, the Company’s auditors, performed certain other services in addition to their statutory audit duties.

The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and, in accordance with written advice provided by resolution of the Audit and Risk Committee, is satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services during the year is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

all non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Company and have been reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee to ensure they do not impact upon the impartiality and objectivity of the auditor
the non-audit services do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) , as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards

GenusPlus Group Ltd and controlled entities Annual Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024

Details of the amounts paid to the auditors of the Company, Grant Thornton, and its related practices for audit and nonaudit services provided during the year are set out in Note 33 to the financial statements.

Proceedings on behalf of Group

No person has applied for leave of Court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Group or intervene in any proceedings to which the Group is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Group for all or any part of those proceedings.

The Group was not a party to any such proceedings during the year.

Auditor’s Independence Declaration

A copy of the Auditor’s Independence Declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on page 21 and forms part of this Directors’ Report.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1 Nature of operations

GenusPlus Group Ltd and its subsidiaries’ (the Group) principal activities include the construction and maintenance of transmission and distribution power lines and substations servicing the Western Australian, Queensland, New South Wales, Tasmanian and Victorian power networks as well as providing specialist engineering, testing and commissioning services to the electrical and communications industries.

2 Basis of preparation

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 Ltd is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

GenusPlus Group Ltd is the Group’s Ultimate Parent Company. GenusPlus Group Ltd is an ASX listed Public Company (ASX Code: GNP) 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 2024 were approved and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 26 August 2024.

Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in Note 4.

3 Changes in accounting policies

3.1 New standards adopted as at 1 July 2023

The Group has adopted all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 July 2023.

AASB 2021-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure of Accounting Policies and Definition of Accounting Estimates

The application of the amendments did not have a material impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements, as the amendments are already included in the Group’s existing accounting policies.

GenusPlus Group Ltd and controlled entities Annual Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024

3 Changes in accounting policies (continued)

3.1 New standards adopted as at 1 July 2023 (continued)

Amendments to AASB 101: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

The amendment specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:

What is meant by a right to defer settlement
That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period
That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right.
That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 and must be applied retrospectively. The new standard did not have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

AASB 2021-5 Amendments to AASB 1 & AASB 112 - Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction

AASB 2022-7 Editorial Corrections to Australian Accounting Standards and Repeal of Superseded and Redundant Standards

This is a repeal of standards that have already been replaced and are either superseded or redundant. Therefore, there is no material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

AASB 2023-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January. The new standard did not have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

GenusPlus Group Ltd and controlled entities Annual Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024

3 Changes in accounting policies (continued)

3.2 Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing Standards that are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Group

The following new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2024 reporting periods, have not been early adopted by the Group, and are as follows:

Amendments 2020-1 and 2022-6 relating to AASB 101: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

The amendment specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:

What is meant by a right to defer settlement
That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period
That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right
That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 and must be applied retrospectively. The Group's assessment of the impact of the new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the entity in future reporting periods.

AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements

AASB 18 replaces AASB 101 as the standard describing the primary financial statements and sets out requirements for the presentation and disclosure of information in AASB-compliant financial statements. Amongst other changes, it introduces the concept of the “management-defined performance measure” to financial statements and requires the classification of transactions presented within the statement of profit or loss within one of five categories – operating, investing, financing, income taxes, and discontinued operations. It also provides enhanced requirements for the aggregation and is aggregation of information.

When the standard is first adopted for the year ending 30 June 2028, there will be no material impact on the financial statements.

GenusPlus Group Ltd and controlled entities Annual Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024

4 Statement of material accounting policies

Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in Note 41.

Basis of consolidation

The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries and joint arrangements as of 30 June 2024. The parent controls a subsidiary or joint arrangement 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 or joint arrangement. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 30 June. The joint arrangements have reporting dates of 31 December and 30 June. Joint arrangements with 31 December year ends provide all relevant financial information for 30 June as per their contract.

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 combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired.

The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss.

On the acquisition of a business, the consolidated entity assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the consolidated entity's operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date.

Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the consolidated entity remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.

Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

GenusPlus Group Ltd and controlled entities Annual Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024

4 Statement of accounting policies (continued)

Business combinations (continued)

The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquirer.

Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value.

Joint arrangements

Joint arrangements are arrangements in which two or more parties have joint control. Joint control is the contractual agreed sharing of control of the arrangement which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Joint arrangements are classified as either a joint operation or joint venture, based on the rights and obligations arising from the contractual obligations between the parties to the arrangement.

To the extent the joint arrangement provides the Group with rights to the individual assets and obligations arising from the joint arrangement, the arrangement is classified as a joint operation, and as such the Group recognises its:

assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;
liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;
revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation;
share of revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and
expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.

To the extent the joint arrangement provides the Group with rights to the net assets of the arrangement, the investment is classified as a joint venture and accounted for using the equity method.

Joint arrangements acquired which are deemed to be carrying on a business are accounted for applying the principles of AASB 3 Business Combinations. Joint arrangements which are not deemed to be carrying on a business are treated as asset acquisitions.

Segment reporting

Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

Revenue from contracts with customers

The Group recognises revenue when a customer obtains control of the goods or services, in accordance with AASB 15 Revenue from contracts with customers. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Determining the timing of the transfer of control: either at a point in time or over time requires judgement.

Revenue is recognised over time if one of the following is met:

The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the Group performs;
The customer controls the asset as the Group creates or enhances it; or
The Group’s performance does not create an asset for which the Group has an alternative use and there is a right to payment for the performance to date.

To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Group follows the 5-step revenue recognition model introduced by AASB

15 Revenue from contracts with customers :

Identifying the contract(s) with a customer
Identifying the performance obligations in the contract
Determining the transaction price
Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
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 standalone selling prices. The transaction price for a contract excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

The Group recognises contract liabilities for consideration received in respect of unsatisfied performance obligations and reports these amounts as contract liabilities in the statement of financial position (see Note 26). 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.

Construction Contracts

Revenue from construction contracts is recognised when the benefits transfer to the customer as the work is performed and as such revenue is recognised over the duration of the project according to the percentage of costs completed, or input method. Under this method revenue is calculated based on the proportion of the contract costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract costs. Revenue recognised under this method is derived from projects containing one performance obligation.

Services revenue

Revenue from the provision of services is recognised as the service is provided. Typically, under the performance obligations of a service contract, the customer consumes and receives the benefit of the service as it is provided. As such, service revenue is recognised over time as the services are provided, with each service a separate performance obligation. The transaction price is allocated to each obligation based on standalone selling prices.

Work order revenue generated in the Communications division is recognised at a point in time as the customer receives the benefit once the work has been completed. The transaction price is calculated based on a schedule of rates which define the price of the ticket of work.

GenusPlus Group Ltd and controlled entities Annual Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024

4 Statement of accounting policies (continued)

Revenue from contracts with customers (continued)

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) 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 Group applies the guidance given in AASB 15 in relation to variable consideration. The estimate of variable consideration can only be recognised to the extent that it 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 for onerous contracts is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract, which is determined based on the incremental costs of fulfilling the obligation under the contract and an allocation of other costs directly related to fulfilling the contract. 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 .

Under AASB 137, the assessment of whether a provision needs to be recognised takes place at the contract level. 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 137 takes into account an appropriate allocation of construction overheads.

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 in Note 24 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.

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.

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%
Furniture, fixtures and fittings:	10% - 33%
Tools and low value assets	18.8%-33%
Software and technology	33%
Motor vehicles	10% - 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.

GenusPlus Group Ltd and controlled entities Annual Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024

4 Statement of accounting policies (continued)

Leased assets

The Group as lessee

For any new contracts entered into, 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

In respect of leased assets, 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). All other leased assets are recorded under property, plant and equipment according to the category of asset.

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.

The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position.

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.

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 cashgenerating unit. Any remaining impairment loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in the cash-generating 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 cash-generating 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 derecognised 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 derecognised 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 categorised as FVOCI.

GenusPlus Group Ltd and controlled entities Annual Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024

4 Statement of accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Classification and initial measurement (continued)

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.

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, or finance income, 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.

This 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 Group Ltd (ASX:VPR) 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 forward-looking information to recognise expected credit losses – the ‘expected credit loss (ECL) model’. Instruments within scope include 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.

GenusPlus Group Ltd and controlled entities Annual Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024

4 Statement of accounting policies (continued)

Subsequent measurement of financial assets (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

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.

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.

Investments in associates and joint ventures

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

The results and assets and liabilities of associates or joint ventures are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with ‘ AASB 5 - Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations’ .

Under the equity method, an investment in an associate or a joint venture is recognised initially in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate or joint venture. When the Group’s share of losses of an associate or a joint venture exceeds the Group’s interest in that associate or joint venture (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate or joint venture), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture.

An investment in an associate or a joint venture is accounted for using the equity method from the date on which the investee becomes an associate or a joint venture. On acquisition of the investment in an associate or a joint venture, any excess of the cost of the investment over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the investment, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.

4 Statement of accounting policies (continued)

Investments in associates and joint ventures (continued)

The requirements of AASB 136 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Group’s investment in an associate or a joint venture. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with AASB 136 as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognised is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in accordance with AASB 136 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date when the investment ceases to be an associate or a joint venture. When the Group retains an interest in the former associate or a joint venture and the retained interest is a financial asset, the Group measures the retained interest at fair value at that date and the fair value is regarded as its fair value on initial recognition in accordance with AASB 9. The difference between the carrying amount of the associate or a joint venture at the date the equity method was discontinued, and the fair value of any retained interest and any proceeds from disposing of a part interest in the associate or a joint venture is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal of the associate or joint venture. In addition, the Group accounts for all amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate on the same basis as would be required if that associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. Therefore, if a gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income by that associate or joint venture would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Group reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (as a reclassification adjustment) when the associate or joint venture is disposed of.

When the Group reduces its ownership interest in an associate or a joint venture but the Group continues to use the equity method, the Group reclassifies to profit or loss the proportion of the gain or loss that had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in ownership interest if that gain or loss would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities.

When a Group entity transacts with an associate or a joint venture of the Group, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate or joint venture are recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate or joint venture that are not related to the Group.

The Group applies AASB 9, including the impairment requirements, to long-term interests in an associate or joint venture to which the equity method is not applied and which form part of the net investment in the investee. Furthermore, in applying AASB 9 to long-term interests, the Group does not take into account adjustments to their carrying amount required by ‘ AASB 128 – Investments in associates and joint ventures’ (i.e. adjustments to the carrying amount of longterm interests arising from the allocation of losses of the investee or assessment of impairment in accordance with AASB 128).

Trade and other receivables and contract assets and liabilities

Contract assets

A contract asset is initially recognised for revenue earned from construction and maintenance services when the receipt of consideration is conditional on client acceptance of the successful completion or installation of the underlying contractual obligation. Upon such notification, the amount recognised as contract assets is reclassified as trade receivables.

Trade receivables

A receivable is recognised if an amount of consideration that is unconditional is due from the customer (i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).

4 Statement of accounting policies (continued)

Trade and other receivables and contract assets and liabilities (continued)

Contract liabilities

A contract liability is recognised if a payment is received or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before the Group transfers the related goods or services. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group performs under the contract (i.e. transfers control of the related goods or services to the customer.)

Impairment of contract assets and liabilities and trade receivables

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 39 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.

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 tax-consolidated 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.

GenusPlus Group Ltd and controlled entities Annual Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024

4 Statement of accounting policies (continued)

Taxation (continued)

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.

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.

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.

Management has applied a risk weighted measurement to the tax treatments used in the Group and has determined that there is no change required under IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments.

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.
Foreign currency translation reserve: comprises amounts recognised upon translation of amounts denominated in foreign currencies ($USD) into the presentation currency ($AUD)

Retained earnings include all current and prior period retained profits.

Dividend distributions payable to equity shareholders are included in other liabilities when the dividends have been declared by the Board prior to the reporting date.

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

Share-based payment transactions

The Group provides remuneration to certain employees, including Directors, of the Group in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled transactions’).

The cost of these equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are vested. The fair value is measured using a the Black Scholes option pricing model and Monte Carlo Simulations, that take into account the terms and conditions on which the instruments were granted and the current likelihood of achieving the specified target. Further, the cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, over the vesting period.

4 Statement of accounting policies (continued)

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.

Onerous contracts

Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognised and measured as provisions. An onerous contract is considered to exist where the Group has a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of GenusPlus Group Ltd, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Dividends

Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the company.

Significant management judgement in applying accounting policies and estimation uncertainty

When preparing the Group’s consolidated financial statements, management makes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses.

Critical judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.

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.

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.

4 Statement of accounting policies (continued)

Significant management judgement in applying accounting policies and estimation uncertainty (continued)

Critical judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)

Calculation of loss allowance

When measuring expected credit losses(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.

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.

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.

GenusPlus Group Ltd and controlled entities Annual Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024

5 Segment Reporting

Management currently identifies the Group’s three business lines as its operating segments: infrastructure, communications, and industrial. The Group’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is its chief executive, who monitors the performance of these operating segments as well as deciding on the allocation of resources to them. Segment performance is monitored using adjusted segment operating results.

Each of these operating segments is managed separately as each requires different technologies, marketing approaches and other resources. All inter-segment transfers are carried out at arm’s length prices based on prices charged to unrelated customers in stand-alone sales of identical goods and services.

The revenues and profit generated by each of the Group’s operating segments and segment assets and liabilities are summarised as follows:

Note: During 2023, Blue Tongue Energy Pty Ltd was a joint arrangement. Blue Tongue Energy Pty Ltd was fully acquired on 28 July 2023.

Acciona Genus Joint Arrangement

During FY24, the Group entered into a joint arrangement with Acciona Construction Pty Ltd for the construction of the HumeLink East project in New South Wales. The Group holds 25% ownership of the joint arrangement. The parties to the contract have agreed to establish an unincorporated and fully integrated joint venture. Each party may contract jointly and severally with the client for performance of the works.

The legal form of the joint arrangement and terms of the contract satisfies the requirements of AASB 11 Joint Arrangements (para14-15). The parties would be considered joint operators, and the joint arrangement would be considered a joint operation for the purposes of the standard. Accordingly, all accounting should be undertaken per the requirements of AASB11, on a proportionate basis by each of the parties to the joint arrangement.

The Group’s interest in Acciona Genus Joint Arrangement is accounted for using the proportional consolidation method in the consolidated financial statements. The following table illustrates the summarised financial information of the Group’s investment in Acciona Genus Joint Arrangement.

		52,023,295	56,948,784

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 30 to 90 day terms. The Group has a policy of only dealing with credit worthy customers. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated by reference to past default experience of the debtors and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date. When the Group is reasonably certain that no recovery of the amount owing is possible, the amount is considered irrecoverable and written off against the financial asset directly. Once an item is considered uncollectable, all other amounts relating to the same customer are then also assessed for recoverability. The Group will continue to strongly pursue all debts provided for. Due to their short-term nature, the net carrying value of trade receivables is considered a reasonable approximation of fair value.

Allowance for expected credit losses

The consolidated entity has recognised a loss of $76,606 (2023: $38,069) in profit or loss in respect of the expected credit losses for the year ended 30 June 2024.

The majority of customers of the Group consist of tier 1 miners and industrial services business and government trading entities. Accordingly, the calculation of expected credit losses is maintained at a relatively low level due to the infrequent nature of default by any of these customers.

The movement in the allowance for expected credit losses in respect of Trade receivables during the year was as follows:

Contract assets represents the unbilled amounts expected to be collected from customers for contract work performed to date. The contract assets are transferred to trade receivables when the rights have become unconditional. This usually occurs when the Group issues an invoice in accordance with contractual terms to the customer.

Remaining performance obligations

The remaining performance obligations balances for both 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2023 presented above relate to the revenue expected to be recognised from ongoing construction type contracts which were not wholly performed at each of those dates.

Impairment testing

For the purpose of annual impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the following cash-generating units, which are the units expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combinations in which the goodwill arises. Effective 30 June 2024 the Company made changes to its cash-generating units which are now consistent with the operating segments as this allocation is consistent with the management of the business.

Infrastructure Industrial Services Communications Goodwill allocation at 30 June	Note	2024 $	2023 $
		20,255,531 2,519,025 -	19,485,416 129,372 -
		22,774,556	19,614,788

The recoverable amounts of the cash-generating units were determined based on value-in-use calculations, covering a five-year forecast, followed by an extrapolation of expected cash flows for the units’ remaining useful lives using the growth rates determined by management. The present value of the expected cash flows of each segment is determined by applying a suitable discount rate.

Infrastructure Industrial Services Communications	Growth rates 2024 2023 2024	Discount rates 2023
	2% 3% 12% 2% 3% 12% - - -	12% 12% -

Growth rates

The growth rates reflect the long-term average growth rates for the business of the segments and the markets they operate in.

Sensitivity

As disclosed in Note 4, the directors have made judgements and estimates in respect of impairment testing of goodwill. Should these judgements and estimates not occur the resulting goodwill carrying amount may decrease. The impairment assessment is sensitive to movements in key assumptions including the discount rate applied and EBITDA margin. Management has performed sensitivity analysis for these variables to determine if reasonable changes in the assumptions would cause the carrying amount of the above CGUs to exceed their recoverable amount.

Under the existing assumptions, impairment of either the Genus Infrastructure or Industrial Services Division cash generating units is not expected.

Discount rates

The discount rates reflect appropriate adjustments relating to market risk and specific risk factors of each unit.

GenusPlus Group Ltd and controlled entities Annual Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024

Cash flow assumptions

Genus Infrastructure and Industrial Services Division’s

Management’s key assumptions include stable profit margins, based on past experience in this market. The Group’s management believes that this is the best available input for forecasting this mature market. Cash flow projections reflect stable profit margins achieved immediately before the budget period. No expected efficiency improvements have been taken into account and prices and wages reflect publicly available forecasts of inflation for the industry.

		33,384,790	16,876,882

Advances received for construction contract work represent customer payments received in advance of performance (contract liabilities) that are expected to be recognised as revenue in the next financial year. The amounts recognised in respect of construction contracts are expected to be utilised within the next reporting period. The balance relating to advances for materials decreased during the period as the related aspects of the contracts were performed. Advances in relation to construction services increased during the period due to the increase in the Group’s customer base, and the prepaid revenue received.

39 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 18. 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.

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). The Group holds a bank account in USD for this purpose. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk is minimal. No USD balances were held at 30 June 2024.

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 2024, 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 low as the Group currently holds more funds on deposit in interest bearing accounts than is owed in bank borrowings.

GenusPlus Group Ltd and controlled entities Annual Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024

39 Financial risk management (continued)

Interest rate sensitivity (continued)

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit and equity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates of +/2.00% (2023: +/- 2%). 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.

Profit for the year $ $ $ +2% / +2% -2% / -2% +2% / +2%	Equity $ -2% / -2%
30 June 2024 720,320 (720,320) 720,320	(720,320)
30 June 2023 225,090 (225,090) 225,090	(225,090)

Other price risk sensitivity

The Group is exposed to other price risk in respect of the investment in Volt Group Limited (ASX: VPR).

For the listed investment in Volt Group Limited, an average volatility of 50% has been observed during 2024 (2023: 50%). 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 $345,750 (2023: $230,500).

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:

2024 $	2023 $
Classes of financial assets Carrying amounts: • cash and cash equivalents 100,966,681 • trade and other receivables 52,023,295	46,737,238 56,948,784
152,989,976	103,686,022

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.

GenusPlus Group Ltd and controlled entities Annual Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024

39 Financial risk management (continued)

Credit risk analysis (continued)

Trade receivables

The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each 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.

Impairment losses

The ageing of the Group’s trade and other receivables at the reporting date was:

Note	Gross Allowance for Impairment Gross 2024 2024 2023 $ $ $	Allowance for Impairment 2023 $
16 16	2,660,385 - 2,325,698 34,011,795 - 45,750,383 7,485,242 - 4,387,410 8,072,531 (206,658) 4,615,345	- - - (130,052)
	49,569,568 (206,658) 54,753,138	(130,052)
	52,229,953 (206,658) 57,078,836	(130,052)

The provision of $206,658 relates to expected credit losses of a small number of debtors based on the past default experience of the debtors combined with analysis of the debtor’s current financial position. The Group continues to strongly pursue all debts provided for. The majority of un-impaired debtors exceeding one year relate to retention claims that are not due. The debtor aging is relative to the date of the original invoice claim against which the retention is held.

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. 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.

GenusPlus Group Ltd and controlled entities Annual Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024

39 Financial risk management (continued)

Credit risk analysis (continued)

Impairment losses (continued)

For trade receivables, 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.

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.

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 16) significantly exceed the current cash outflow requirements. Cash flows from trade and other receivables are all contractually due within three months.

Liquidity risk analysis (continued)

As at 30 June 2024, the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities have contractual maturities as summarised below:

30 June 2024 Secured borrowings Leases Trade and other payables Contingent consideration payable Total	Current Within 6 months 6 - 12 months 1 - 5 years $ $ $	Non-current 5+ years $

	49,839,632 6,059,731 16,467,448	-

This compares to the maturity of the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities in the previous reporting periods as follows:

40 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.

GenusPlus Group Ltd and controlled entities Annual Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2024

40 Capital management policies and procedures (continued)

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:

Total equity Financial liabilities Cash and cash equivalents Capital Total equity Borrowings Overall financing Capital-to-overall financing ratio	2024 2023 $ $
	121,236,426 104,976,133 22,780,798 21,836,048 (100,966,681) (46,737,238)

	144,017,224 126,812,181
	0.30 0.63

The ratio decrease during 2024 is primarily a result of additional cash at bank held at year end compared to the previous reporting period.

Consolidated entity disclosure statement

Basis of Preparation

This Consolidated Entity Disclosure Statement (CEDS) has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and includes required information for each entity that was part of the consolidated entity as at the end of the financial year.

Consolidated entity

This CEDS includes only those entities consolidated as at the end of the financial year in accordance with AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (AASB 10).

Determination of Tax Residency

Section 295 (3A) of the Corporations Act 2001 defines tax residency as having the meaning in the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. The determination of tax residency involves judgment as there are currently several different interpretations that could be adopted, and which could give rise to a different conclusion on residency

In determining tax residency, the consolidated entity has applied the following interpretations

Australian tax residency

The consolidated entity has applied current legislation and judicial precedent, including having regard to the Tax Commissioner's public guidance.

Foreign tax residency

Where necessary, the consolidated entity has used independent tax advisers in foreign jurisdictions to assist in its determination of tax residency to ensure applicable foreign tax legislation has been complied with.

Partnerships and Trusts

Australian tax law does not contain specific residency tests for partnerships and trusts. Generally, these entities are taxed on a flow-through basis so there is no need for a general residence test. There are some provisions which treat trusts as residents for certain purposes but this does not mean the trust itself is an entity that is subject to tax.

b complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

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 annual report for the year ended 30 June 2024, 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 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:

Grant Thornton Australia Limited 3

a) the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement); and

b) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of:

i) the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

ii) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free of 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/ar1_2020.pdf.This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
