The Group now has three production lines operating in Indonesia. A fourth production line is currently being installed and is expected to be operational in March this year.

For the year ended 31 December 2016

1. Capital Structure

Capital management objectives

Range's objectives when managing capital are to

  • 〉 safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and
  • 〉 maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

Corporate restructure

Prior to 21 June 2016, the Company was an investment holding company domiciled in the Commonwealth of Dominica, which at 31 December 2015 owned 24.91% in Range International Holdings Limited (RIHL) a company established in Singapore that conducted 100% of the operations of the business. The investment reduced to 17.38% in June 2016 due to the capital raising referred to in Note 2. The Company's only shareholder was RIHL's founder and majority shareholder, Matthew Darby.

The Company's place of domicile migrated to Australia on 21 June 2016. On 25 June 2016, a transaction occurred whereby the Company acquired the remaining 82.62% of RIHL and became the legal parent company of RIHL. The transaction occurred by way of share exchange whereby the existing shareholders of RIHL exchanged their shares for shares in the Company.

As a result of the share exchange transaction, the Company obtained 100% of the legal ownership of RIHL and the remaining previous shareholders of RIHL became shareholders of the Company.

Business combinations

When considering how to account for the above share exchange transaction, it is the view of the Group that the transaction was similar to a business combination in which the legal subsidiary obtained control of the legal parent, a reverse acquisition. In these types of transactions, the new group would be presented as a continuation of the legal subsidiary and an acquisition of the legal parent at the date of the transaction. As such, the consolidated financial statements of the Company have been presented as a continuation of the profit and loss, financial position and cash flows of RIHL at the pre-transaction values.

These financial statements include:

  • 〉 The results of the year ended 31 December 2016 shown in the income statements reflect RIHL only for the period from 1 January 2016 to 24 June 2016 and the consolidated Range and RIHL results post transaction for the period 25 June 2016 to 31 December 2016;
  • 〉 The results of the year ended 31 December 2015 in the income statements reflect RIHL;
  • 〉 The cash flows for year ended 31 December 2016 represents the cash flows of RIHL only for the period from 1 January 2016 to 24 June 2016 and the consolidated Range and RIHL results post transaction for the period 25 June 2016 to 31 December 2016. The comparative information for 31 December 2015 represents the cash flows of RIHL; and
  • 〉 The statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015 reflects the balances of RIHL only while the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016 reflects the balances of the post-transaction consolidated Group including Range and RIHL.

Share capital is classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares are deducted against the share capital account.

(a) Issue of ordinary shares pre-restructure

During March 2016, pre-IPO capital of $9.9 million was raised by RIHL to fund existing liabilities, working capital, investment in production lines and the purchase of intellectual property (IP). On 29 April 2016, the Company issued shares valued at $6.5 million as part of the purchase consideration for IP from Range Industries Limited (a New Zealand registered entity).

For the year ended 31 December 2016

2.1 Share Capital (continued)

(b) Issue of ordinary shares post-restructure

On 14 June 2016, the Company lodged its prospectus with ASIC for an Initial Public Offering ("IPO") of 50 million ordinary shares at US$0.75 (A$1.00) per share. The offer closed on 6 July 2016 with the Company successfully admitted to the Official List of the Australian Securities Exchange under the ASX code "RAN" on 21 July 2016. Total transaction costs amounted to $3.9m, of this amount $1.13m has been recognised in equity with the balance of costs expensed under 'IPO expenses'.

(c) Ordinary shares issued to existing shareholders

As described above on 25 June 2016 the Company acquired the remaining 82.62% of RIHL and became the legal parent company of RIHL. As a result of the transaction, the share capital of RIHL at the time of the transaction ($34.2 million) has been replaced with the legal share capital of the Company.

Ordinary shares are fully-paid and have no par value. They carry one vote per share and the right to dividends. They carry no special terms or conditions affecting income or capital entitlements of the shareholders and are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. There are no shares authorised for issue that have not been issued at reporting date.

The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

〉 assets and liabilities are translated at the closing exchange rates at the reporting date;

  • 〉 income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless the average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions); and
  • 〉 all resulting currency translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the currency translation reserve.

These currency translation differences are reclassified to profit or loss on disposal or partial disposal of the entity giving rise to such reserve.

Accounting for Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the liability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.

Accounting for Investments in a subsidiary

Investments in a subsidiary are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses in the Company's statement of financial position. On disposal of such investments, the difference between disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts of the investments are recognised in profit or loss.

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in the income statement. Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date and included in the consideration transferred. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in the income statement. See Note 1 for further details on business combinations during the year.

Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the acquiree's net assets in the event of liquidation are measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, at the acquisition date. The measurement basis taken is elected on a transaction-by-transaction basis. All other non-controlling interests are measured at acquisition-date fair value, unless another measurement basis is required by IFRS.

Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

For the year ended 31 December 2016
