SciDev Limited Directors' report 31 December 2019
==> picture [146 x 39] intentionally omitted <==
The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 'consolidated entity') consisting of SciDev Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'company' or 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended 31 December 2019.
Directors
The following persons were directors of SciDev Limited during the whole of the financial half-year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:
Trevor A Jones - Chairman Lewis E Utting - Managing Director Simone Watt - Non-executive Director Jon Gourlay - Non-executive Director
Principal activities
The principal activity of the consolidated entity is delivery of process control and chemistry products for solids-liquids separation.
Dividends
There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial half-year.
Review of operations
Revenue for 1H FY20 of AUD$6.12 million (1H19: AUD$1.3 million) reflecting contract wins across the business, the initiation of several MaxiFlox® chemistry trials, one month’s supply into major contract win with Iluka and revenue from ProSol Australia.
The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax amounted to $191,233 (31 December 2018: $626,681).
Cash receipts of AUD$3.8 million (1H19: AUD$1.2 million), with receivables of AUD$3.66 million and payables of AUD$3.38 million.
Net cash outflows from operations increased to -AUD$2.53 million. The increase in cash outgoings was attributable to a product inventory build AUD$2.32 million of inventory at hand at the end of the quarter allowing the consolidated entity to deliver on recent contract wins. The build in inventory will provide a seamless engagement of chemical supply into recent contract wins and the consolidated entity expects that inventory levels will normalise as commercial activity reaches a steady state. Net cash at the end of the period was AUD$3.07 million.
Gross profit margins for the period were 30.3% as larger volume supply opportunities materialised. Margins were elevated given the portfolio mix and higher level of professional services revenue booked in the quarter, plus one-off equipment sales. As the business mix of the consolidated entity changes, long term gross profit margins are anticipated to normalise <30%.
Significant changes in the state of affairs
The acquisition of ProSol Australia Pty Ltd was completed on 28 November 2019.
There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial half-year.
Matters subsequent to the end of the financial half-year
On 2 January 2020, SciDev Limited announced that it entered into a binding heads of agreement to acquire Highland Fluid Technology Inc (Highland), a US domiciled private company.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2019 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future financial years.

SciDev Limited Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2019
==> picture [146 x 39] intentionally omitted <==
Note 1. Significant accounting policies
These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2019 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
These general purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019 and any public announcements made by the company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except for the policies stated below.
Leases
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 16 'Leases' from 1 July 2019 using the modified retrospective approach where the right-of-use asset is recognised at the date of initial application at an amount equal to the lease liability, using the consolidated entity's current incremental borrowing rate and comparative information has not been restated. This means comparative information is still reported under AASB 117 and Interpretation 4.
Accounting policy applicable from 1 July 2019
For any new contracts entered into on or after 1 July 2019, the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity
-
the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use.
At lease commencement date, the consolidated entity recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the statement of financial position. 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 consolidated entity, 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).
The consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity also assesses the right-of-use asset for impairment when such indicators exist.
At the commencement date, the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity's incremental borrowing rate.
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 or loss if the right-of-use asset is already reduced to zero.
The consolidated entity 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.
On the statement of financial position, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are separately disclosed.
10
SciDev Limited Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2019
==> picture [147 x 39] intentionally omitted <==
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Accounting policy applicable before 1 July 2019
The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of leased assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits.
Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the fair value of the leased assets, or if lower, the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are allocated between the principal component of the lease liability and the finance costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the asset's useful life or over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the consolidated entity will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term.
Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity:
AASB 16 Leases
The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' along with three interpretations (Interpretation 4 ‘Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease’, Interpretation 115 ‘Operating Leases-Incentives’ and Interpretation 127 ‘Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease’).
The adoption of this new Standard has resulted in the consolidated entity recognising a right-of-use asset and related lease liability in connection with all former operating leases except for those identified as low-value or having a remaining lease term of less than 12 months from the date of initial application.
The new Standard has been applied using the modified retrospective approach, with the cumulative effect of adopting AASB 16 being recognised in equity as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for the current period. Prior periods have not been restated.
For contracts in place at the date of initial application, the consolidated entity has elected to apply the definition of a lease from AASB 117 and Interpretation 4 and has not applied AASB 16 to arrangements that were previously not identified as lease under AASB 117 and Interpretation 4.
On transition, for leases previously accounted for as operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months and for leases of low-value assets the consolidated entity has applied the optional exemptions to not recognise right-of-use assets but to account for the lease expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.
On transition to AASB 16 the weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognised under AASB 16 was 6%.
The recognised right-of-use asset relates to a property lease and was measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that recognised in the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019.

SCIDEV LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the Members of SciDev Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year consolidated financial report of SciDev Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration comprising SciDev Limited and the entities it controlled at the half-year’s end or from time to time during the half-year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of SciDev Limited are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2019 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of SciDev Limited ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT (continued)
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of SciDev Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of SciDev Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2019 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
