Improving public safety

Saferoads is an ASX listed company specialising in providing innovative safety solutions. Headquartered in Pakenham, Victoria with representation across Australia, New Zealand and the USA, the company provides state government departments, local councils, road construction companies and equipment hire companies with a broad range of products and services designed to direct, protect, inform and illuminate for the public's safety.

Dear Shareholder,

OPERATIONS OVERVIEW

On behalf of the board I am pleased to report a profit before tax and relocation costs of $50k compared with a corresponding loss before tax of $90k for the previous financial year. This reflects the ongoing sustainable business transformation and maintains a base platform to re-grow the business, having established a new headquarters during the year.

Revenue from ongoing product sales, royalties and rentals was up 18% or $2.5 million signifying the positive efforts of our sales force to provide value-add service offerings to our existing and new customers in what is still an exceedingly competitive market environment. Whilst there has been minimal changes in overall margins due to the highly competitive nature of the markets we operate in, our ability to deliver quality products and value-added solutions has allowed us to increase our market share in certain sectors. We have maintained a tight focus on cost rationalisation over the financial year but also selectively invested in areas which will provide greater longer term returns for the Company through improving factory efficiency and productivity and also establishing international markets. This has all led to the marginal improvement in overall profitability.

Finance cost reductions of 53% or $0.23 million resulted from the previous year's significant debt reduction by means of the rights issue and core bank debt reduced by a further $0.5 million (or 17%) to $2.5 million at 30 June 2016. We now have a more acceptable gearing ratio (net debt to net debt plus equity) which reduced from 26.1% at June 2015 to 24.4% as at 30 June 2016.

We generated over $1.0 million in operating cash flows during the year, maintaining adequate cash reserves to support the current working capital needs of the business as well as providing basic funding for our product innovation projects which totalled $0.26 million for the year.

The table below summarizes the transformation over the past three financial years:

Year ending 30 June
2014 2015 2016

STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES

Having maintained an underlying positive earnings base in 2016, our main priority remains the growth in sales and profit. Each of our product portfolios have key budget targets in their respective market sectors and a number of initiatives are in play to continue the momentum achieved in the past financial year.

One of these initiatives relates to the increasing focus and use of alternative renewable energy sources by some of our customers which has led us to introduce new product offerings such as solar public lighting solutions and portable solar powered light towers for work zones.

Road infrastructure spending continues to grow, particularly on the eastern seaboard where there are major projects up the east coast of the country that we are participating in. Our temporary barrier portfolio in particular has positioned itself to take advantage of major road works along the Pacific Highway.

We are very pleased with the growth of our Public Lighting business, particularly its focus on the abovementioned renewable energy (solar) lighting solutions. We retain a strong market share in Victoria with urban and residential street lighting needs and have diversified into car park lighting as well.

As a result of our CEO, Mr Darren Hotchkin's secondments to the USA during the financial year, we secured our first international distribution agreement which realised an initial $0.36 million in royalties and an order worth around $0.3 million that is currently in progress and will be delivered within the next two months.

This is our initial step into the International arena and through the contacts that have been established in this region, we anticipate further developments in this space over the coming year.

We remain focussed on product development and innovation and will continue to bring to market products with both domestic and international sales potential. We've had encouraging initial sales of our flexible road-sign to numerous local government authorities. The introduction of our temporary work zone rumble-strip to various State road authorities and road contractors has reaped positive feedback from trial sites that this product has demonstrably delivered a real reduction in traffic speeds in designated road work zones.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I would like to acknowledge the ongoing efforts and dedication of our staff who have not only had to work on continuing to grow this business, but also had to plan and coordinate their activities around an office and warehouse relocation in the first half of the financial year which now enables the Company to better service its growing customer base through improved operational efficiencies.

I also wish to acknowledge the significant dedication and contribution from my fellow directors and senior management team over the past year. Their expertise, clear thinking, industry insight and hard work has contributed to our ability to execute the continued business transformation in what is still a difficult trading environment.

We are especially grateful to the CEO for his secondments to the United States during the year in building a greater understanding and creating opportunities for that market and promoting our products to interested overseas parties. This is an untapped market space for us and we anticipate further significant growth in the coming years.

Finally, I sincerely thank all our shareholders for their ongoing patience and continued support. Our primary focus remains on substantially improving the financial performance and sustainability of your company.

David Ashmore Chairman of the Board

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND ACTIVITIES

PERFORMANCE DURING 2015 - 2016

I am very pleased to report that the Company has achieved another positive EBIT for the past financial year, which included a relocation of our headquarters to outer metropolitan Melbourne.

The Company generated annual operating revenues of $16.3 million (FY2015: $15.2 million) and an EBIT before relocation costs of $0.3 million (FY2015: $0.4 million). The past financial year was about continuing the momentum in building sales in our four key product sectors – permanent roadside products, temporary work zone products, public lighting solutions and work zone rentals. I'm pleased to report that we made significant inroads in all areas by way of sales growth, production efficiency and/or market rationalisation as we continue to adapt our business to ever-changing customer requirements. Our differentiator is that we are not just seen as a product supply business, but as a valued advisor to those customers seeking solutions to sometimes quite complex logistical situations. It's our in-depth industry knowledge and experience and our broad network of industry players that position us to be one of the premium providers of road safety solutions for any temporary or permanent purpose.

Whilst operating revenue increased 7%, this did not all convert to the bottom line as we invested in three key areas of rationalisation and future growth potential.

Firstly, we made the decision to relocate to a new purpose-built facility closer to metropolitan Melbourne. The reasons for this were threefold – it would allow us to consolidate from two production sites to one; it would reduce freight and travel costs; and provide access to a broader supply chain base and employee talent pool for recruitment needs. The overall relocation investment was $0.5 million, with $0.2 million expensed as relocation costs and a further $0.3 million of fitout, plant and equipment capitalised and financed.

Secondly, we instigated a strategy of exploring overseas market opportunities and initially targeted North America. During two secondments to the West Coast of USA, we signed up one major international road safety hardware company to distribute our IronmanTM barrier products, realising an initial royalty of $0.3 million and an additional sublicence arrangement for a region in the People's Republic of China.

Thirdly, we have recruited a senior production manager to further improve factory efficiency, productivity and cost savings. This initiative has already realised some savings through rationalising our supplier base, and improving lead times in delivering orders to customers.

Our roadside products portfolio reported annual revenue growth of 10% with improved results in our rubber traffic calming product range and the introduction of our new flexible signage offering. In addition, we secured positive feedback on initial sales and trials of our portable rumble strip product – Roadquake – and anticipate formal State road authority approvals and supporting specifications in the coming months.

Our temporary work zone products portfolio achieved annual revenue growth of 4%, with significant contracts for our exclusively licensed concrete barrier solution, the T-LOK barrier. We also had increased sales with our variable messaging sign ("VMS") trailers and we have now launched our proprietary VMS web-based management platform – Zone2.

Our IronmanTM Hybrid barrier rental portfolio suffered from market pressures as the major competitors reduced rental rates significantly to boost utilisation. However, utilisation rates improved towards the end of the financial year as we targeted niche second-tier road contractors requiring a more flexible barrier offering and deployment solution whereby the contractor could rely on our expertise for their work zone barrier needs. This has seen a dramatic improvement in our overall rental rates and utilisation with us achieving record monthly rental income from this product portfolio in the first month of this financial year.

Our Public Lighting solutions portfolio maintained the previous year's momentum and grew another 39% in 2016 on the back of established customer relationships and introducing new customers to our market leading supply and delivery service. In addition, we introduced a new solar lighting solution, targeted at the local government market in addressing issues associated with providing more secure public spaces in a more environmentally friendly way. We have partnered with a major international solar lighting provider to provide this unique offering which is gaining traction.

We continued our focus on innovative product research and development during the year and have invested in a sophisticated product performance and simulation software program to assist in reducing the time and costs involved with the creation of new high performance products. We have a number of projects we are currently working on to improve existing products and/or developing new products in response to the changing road safety environment for testing and commercialisation. We continue to fund these through a combination of working capital and funds received as part of the Australian Government's Research and Development tax rebate program. We believe it is imperative we maintain this innovative approach to our business where we are seeing an increasing predominance of imported products. We are striving to generate our own intellectual property and therefore keep government funds in Australia (with Australian-owned companies and employees) rather than going to offshore shareholders and workers.

LOOKING AHEAD

We anticipate another year of modest profitability gain as there continues to be pressure on all levels of government (ultimately the end asset owner) to optimise expenditure on road infrastructure.

The steps we continue to take to improve productivity should enable us to maintain our operating margins in what will remain a very challenging domestic market, where all significant sales are won through a competitive tender/quote process.

Our public lighting and rental barrier businesses are in strong growth phases that will require our careful allocation of additional working capital. Combining this with the launch of our new VMS products, we should more than sustain our overall sales levels.

We will keep building on the achievements made to date on our international markets expansion. There is encouraging interest from other overseas parties in our patented products and we anticipate more distribution agreements with overseas parties.

Finally, I would like to acknowledge the support of my fellow Directors, Senior Management Team and our staff, who have worked tirelessly to achieve another positive underlying result, despite the distraction of the relocation to a new facility. This should set us up to further enable the business to continue its transformation of improvement for the foreseeable future.

Darren Hotchkin Chief Executive Officer

THE YEAR IN REVIEW

Saferoads has been involved in a number of projects with its innovative solutions over the past financial year. A sample of these are outlined below.

SOLAR PUBLIC LIGHTING

Gympie Regional Council in Queensland have installed Saferoads solar powered LED street lights adjacent to a public pathway network to improve night time use. The pathway is a trunk pedestrian route for the Southside of Gympie and the section of pathway had no street lighting for approximately 500 metres. The area is not serviced by mains supply power and installation of such would require the removal of significant vegetation, or an expensive underground supply.

The Saferoads solar lighting solution was chosen because:

  • it provided light duration of 23-30 hours without charge
  • the light can be programmed to dim after specified times
  • there are no overhead supply wires
  • it has a low-carbon foot-print one solar street light saves about 1 ton of CO2 per year
  • there is no heavy metal in the LED fixtures
  • it supports crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED)

IRONMAN T M HYBRID BARRIER SOLUTION

In February 2016, Ace Contractors were awarded the Cardinia Road Upgrade Project in Officer, Victoria.

Included in their scope of works was a roundabout, tight intersections and several stages where barriers needed tapers, flexibility and the ability to work around some fairly tight curves.

After many meetings with the road authority, a final Traffic Management Plan was agreed upon, which included the optimal use of the IronmanTM Hybrid product, with various End Treatment solutions and the best utilisation of the many features of the barrier.

Project Manager, Pawel Bankowski said "We sought barrier solutions and proposals from several companies. Choosing Saferoads came down to three distinct factors in the end:

  • The product needed to achieve minimum deflection at the speed and likely impact angle;
  • We needed to achieve a tight radius through the roundabout section of our project; and
  • We required a comprehensive deployment solution.

"Saferoads have delivered a very suitable product at competitive rates and are specialists in their field."

IRONMAN T M HYBRID BARRIER SOLUTION

In April 2016, Bitu-mill were awarded a project to construct a 1.5 km long overtaking lane on the Calder Highway, Nowingi (south of Mildura, Victoria). The methodology adopted by Bitu-mill included the team working in 500 metre sections at a time on the busy section of the highway.

In evaluating the barrier options it became evident that they needed a product that:

  • was economical to freight
  • had reasonably strong deflection performance which offered the contractor a close working proximity; and
  • provided a flexible enough option to move and relocate with the staging within the construction program

Project manager, Doug Warren said "Saferoads were able to provide Bitu-Mill with an efficient barrier solution, a high quality deployment service and overall barrier and compliance expertise that we value highly."

FLEXLOC GUIDEPOST SAFETY INSTALLATION SOLUTIONS

After working closely with a number of Councils and a variety of Government bodies, it was apparent that there was a need to improve the deployment of roadside guideposts. As a result, Saferoads developed an aluminium trailer designed to securely hold a pallet of Flexloc guideposts and a lockable toolbox to store all the relevant tools and sockets.

One great innovation with the Flexloc trailer is that once the pallet is loaded, the back doors can be closed and the side-door access allows installers to work from the side of the road to keep an eye out for oncoming traffic. Another advantage is that at any given time the trailer is geared up and ready to go, making the operations side of installing roadside guideposts much more efficient.

ROADQUAKE TEMPORARY PORTABLE RUMBLE STRIPS

In the previous year we introduced a new, innovative product in the form of Temporary Portable Rumble Strips ("TPRS"). The RoadQuake solution has now been extensively tested and trialled in New South Wales and Western Australia with great success and we are now carrying out extensive trials in Queensland and Victoria.

The RoadQuake TPRS is mainly designed to alert distracted drivers of upcoming road conditions however, all the data collected so far through these trials has indicated a reduction in speed which has been a tremendous bonus to make our roads and work zones safer. In a MainRoads WA approved trial carried out

by Fulton Hogan, the speeds on average dropped by approximately 8 km/h at all sites tested. They were found to be quick and easy to install and were very effective in alerting drivers for the road works ahead.

Up until this point in time the trials have been carried out in rural conditions. The upcoming trials in Queensland are set to break new ground in Australia with a growing need for the added safety of such a device to be used in multi-lane metropolitan situations. The growing need to reduce accidents in work zone incidents is paramount to Saferoads.

T-LOK BARRIERS ON WEBB DOCK PROJECT

Saferoads has just completed supplying custom T-LOK concrete barriers to BMD Constructions for stage 1 of the new Webb Dock fully automated container terminal in Melbourne.

The ability to customise the T-LOK barrier design with our in-house engineering

team allowed us to work with the customer's engineers to build a custom T-LOK barrier to separate the Automated Container Carriers ("ACC") from other traffic and pedestrian areas at the terminal.

The custom T-LOK barriers included large reinforced galvanised fork ports, additional structural reinforcing, top mount fence ferrules, high-visibility paint scheme, and high-strength fence panels.

Custom corner blocks have also been supplied to provide a continuous interlocking system through 90 degree corners.

RELOCATION TO PAKENHAM, VICTORIA

After being based in the Warragul / Drouin area in West Gippsland, Victoria since the company was founded, Saferoads made the move closer to Melbourne in late November 2015.

This was to allow us to take advantage of various synergies and savings including the consolidation from two sites to a single site, reduced freight and travel costs and access to a broader supply chain base and employee talent pool for future recruitment needs.

The lease of our Drouin premises had expired and the Company entered into a 10 year lease of a new purpose-built facility in Pakenham, incorporating office, warehouse, assembly and hardstand yard.

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 nonaudit services during the year is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

1 CORPORATE INFORMATION

Saferoads Holdings Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which is prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations of the authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis.

Saferoads Holdings Limited is a for-profit entity for the purposes of preparing the financial statements.

(b) Statement of compliance

The financial report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards 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).

New and revised standards that are effective for these financial statements

A number of new and revised standards were effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2015. There was no material impact on the Group of these new and revised standards.

Accounting standards issued but not yet effective and not been adopted early by the Group

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2016 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the group. The group's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2018 but is available for early adoption. When adopted, the standard will affect in particular the accounting for available-for-sale financial assets, since AASB 9 only permits the recognition of fair value gains and losses in other comprehensive income if they relate to equity investments that are not held for trading. Fair value gains and losses on available-for-sale debt investments, for example, will therefore have to be recognised directly in profit or loss. There will be no impact on the group's accounting for financial liabilities, as the new requirements only affect the accounting for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss and the group does not have any such liabilities. The derecognition rules have been transferred from AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and have not been changed.

The entity is yet to undertake a detailed assessment of the impact of AASB 9 . However, based on the entity's preliminary assessment, the Standard is not expected to have a material impact on the transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements when it is first adopted for the year ending 30 June 2019.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers replaces AASB 118 Revenue, AASB 111 Construction Contracts and some revenue-related Interpretations and is effective from 1 January 2018:

  • establishes a new revenue recognition model

  • changes the basis for deciding whether revenue is to be recognised over time or at a point in time

  • provides new and more detailed guidance on specific topics (e.g. multiple element arrangements, variable pricing, rights of return, warranties and licensing)

  • expands and improves disclosures about revenue

The entity is yet to undertake a detailed assessment of the impact of AASB 15 . However, based on the entity's preliminary assessment, the Standard is not expected to have a material impact on the transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements when it is first adopted for the year ending 30 June 2019.

AASB 16 Leases replaces AASB 117 Leases and some lease-related Interpretations and requires all leases to be accounted for 'onbalance sheet' by lessees, other than short-term and low value asset leases. It provides new guidance on the application of the definition of lease and on sale and lease back accounting, largely retains the existing lessor accounting requirements in AASB 117 and requires new and different disclosures about leases.

The entity is yet to undertake a detailed assessment of the impact of AASB 16. However, based on the entity's preliminary assessment, the likely impact on the first time adoption of the Standard for the year ending 30 June 2020 includes:

  • there will be a significant increase in lease assets and financial liabilities recognised on the balance sheet

  • the reported equity will reduce as the carrying amount of lease assets will reduce more quickly than the carrying amount of lease liabilities

  • EBIT in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income will be higher as the implicit interest in lease payments for former off balance sheet leases will be presented as part of finance costs rather than being included in operating expenses

  • operating cash outflows will be lower and financing cash flows will be higher in the statement of cash flows as principal repayments on all lease liabilities will now be included in financing activities rather than operating activities. Interest can also be included within financing activities

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 23 August 2016. The Directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

(c) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the legal parent entity, Saferoads Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries ('the Group'). The separate financial statements of the parent entity have not been presented within this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist.

All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated in full.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.

Where there is loss of control of a subsidiary, the consolidated financial statements include the results for the part of the reporting period during which Saferoads Holdings Limited has control.

(d) Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the Group's entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity's functional and presentation currency.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year end exchange rate. Non monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Group companies

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group's presentation currency are translated as follows:

  • assets and liabilities are translated at year end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
  • income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
  • retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group's foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which the operation is disposed.

(e) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value.

Depreciation is calculated on a diminishing value basis over the estimated useful life, except for rental barrier assets which are depreciated using the prime cost method.

Plant and equipment - 5% to 50%

(f) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred.

(g) Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill

The Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. largelyindependentofthosefromotherassetsorgroupsofassets,inwhichcase,therecoverableamountisdeterminedforthe

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

(h) Goodwill and intangible assets

Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the group's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities.

Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the group's cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the group are assigned to those units or groups of units. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is so allocated : or groupofunitstowhichthegoodwillissoallocated :

  • represents the lowest level within the group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, and

  • is not larger than a segment based on either the group's primary or the group's secondary reporting format determined in accordance with AASB 8 Operating Segments.

Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units), to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. When goodwill forms part of the cash-generating unit (group of cashgenerating units) and an operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this manner is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. GoodwillImpairmentofnon-financialassetsother thangoodwillBorrowingcostsare recognisedasanexpensewhenincurred.comprehensiveincomethroughtheamortisationlineitem.Impairmentisdeterminedbyassessingtherecoverableamountofthecash-generatingunit(groupofcash-generatingunits),to

Intangibles

Intangible assets acquired separately are capitalised at cost and from a business combination are capitalised at fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, the cost model is applied to the class of intangible.

The useful lives of these intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite.

Where amortisation is charged on assets with finite lives, this expense is taken to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income through the amortisation line item.

Intangible assets, excluding development costs, created within the business are not capitalised and expenditure is charged against profits in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists, and in the case of indefinite life intangibles annually, either individually or at the cash generating unit level. Useful lives are also examined on an annual basis and adjustments, where applicable, are made on a prospective basis.

Research and development costs

Research costs are expensed as incurred.

Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is carried forward when its future recoverability can reasonably be regarded as assured.

Following the initial recognition of the development expenditure, the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Any expenditure carried forward is amortised over the period of expected future sales from the related project.

The carrying value of each development project is reviewed for impairment annually when the asset is not yet in use, or more frequently when an indicator of impairment arises during the reporting year indicating that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income when the asset is derecognised.

Any Research and Development tax rebates received or receivable are offset against the respective capitalised development costs to the extent to which they relate to the claim.

(i) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:

  • Raw materials: purchase cost on a first-in, first-out basis;

  • Finished goods and work-in-progress: cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity but excluding borrowing costs.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(j) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables, which generally have 30-60 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectable amounts.

An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when identified.

(k) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash in the statement of financial position comprises cash at bank and on hand.

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

(l) Assets classified as held for sale

(r) Income Tax

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to taxation authorities based on the current period's taxable income. The tax rates and tax laws used to compare the amount are those that are enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward or unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and future unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

  • where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

  • receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from the investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

(t) Employee benefits

Provision is made for the Group's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to reporting date. Employee benefits expected to be settled wholly within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled plus related on-costs. All other employee benefit liabilities are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.

(u) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.

(v) Derivative Financial Instruments

The group may use derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts to hedge risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value at the date on which the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to fair value. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when their fair value is negative. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year.

(w) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

(d) Fair Values

The carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements represents their respective fair values, determined in accordance with the accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements.

(e) Foreign Exchange Risk

Exposure to foreign exchange risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating due to movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the Group holds financial instruments which are other than the AUD functional currency of the Group.

At reporting date, the Group did not hold any financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies other than the Group's functional currency (AUD).

(f) Sensitivity Analysis

The following table illustrates sensitivities to the Group's exposures to changes in interest rates on borrowings and exchange rates on purchases. The table indicates the impact on how profit and equity values reported at reporting date would have been affected by changes in the relevant risk variable that management considers to be reasonably possible. These sensitivities assume that the movement in a particular variable is independent of other variables. The following sensitivities are based on market experience over the last 12 months.
