These condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the interim financial statements) of the Group are for the six months ended 31 December 2020 and are presented in Australian dollars ($), which is the functional currency of the Group.

These general purpose interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) 134: Interim Financial Reporting . They do not include all of the information required in the annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by the Company during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements under the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) Listing Rules and Corporations Act 2001 .

The interim financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

The interim financial report covers MCS Services Limited (Company) and its 100% subsidiaries MCS Security Group Pty Ltd and John Boardman Pty Ltd (collectively, Group).

MCS Services Limited is a public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The registered office is 3/108 Winton Road, Joondalup, WA, 6027. The Company was incorporated on 11 May 2006.

The interim financial statements for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 (including the comparatives) were approved by the board of directors on 26 February 2021.

3. Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions

When preparing the interim financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the interim financial statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the Group's last annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020.

4. Going Concern

The financial statements of the Group have been prepared on a going concern basis which anticipates the ability of the entity to meet its obligations in the normal course of business.

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.
