7. Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability
AASB 16 Leases was issued in February 2016 by Australian Accounting Standards Board and became applicable to the Company for the first time in the prior corresponding Period, being the Company’s first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2019.
The Standard resulted in relevant leases being recognised on the Statement of Financial Position, as the distinction between operating and finance leases has been removed by the Standard. Under the Standard, an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability (to pay future rentals) has been recognised. The Standard has been applied in relation to the Company’s office lease in Joondalup, WA. The Standard allows exceptions for short-term and low-value leases.

MCS Security reconciliation Accounts
At completion of the Company’s acquisition of MCS Security in 2015 the Company was required to transfer the MCS Security retained cash to the vendors of MCS Security. Subsequently the vendors agreed that a remaining $350,000 owed to them could be reclassified as a loan to the Company. Subsequent reductions to the Related Party loan balance were made.
During the Period the remaining balance of $85,084 (incl accrued interest), payable by no later than 31 October 2020, was paid in full on 31 August 2020.
16. Winding up of JBPL
During the half-year to 31 December 2017 the winding up of John Boardman Pty Ltd (JBPL), a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company, was commenced. JBPL had no material assets, did not trade, and it’s main liabilities were tax amounts of some $0.32m arising prior to JBPL’s acquisition by the Company and as warranted by the vendor.
During a previous period the Company settled a legal claim from the liquidator of JBPL relating to the pre-acquisition vendor-warranted tax liabilities. The settlement released the Company from all existing and possible claims. As a result, the net liabilities of JBPL – as previously consolidated into the Group’s reported financial position – were no longer a liability of the Group.
The Company anticipates JBPL will be deregistered by the liquidator in due course. The Company does not anticipate any remaining winding up / deregistration process will have any adverse effect on the Company.
