Financial Review

Revenue for 1HFY21 of A$18.3m (1HFY20: A$6.1) reflects business development growth across all the Company'sfour sectors of Mining & Mineral Processing, Oil & Gas, Construction & Infrastructure, and Water & Wastewater. The continued growth in the Oil & Gas sector, as drilling activities continued to rebound, delivered A$6.9m salesfor the half year. Mining & Mineral processing sales delivered A$7.2m the half year as the Company continues to grow sales into long-term supply agreements with a range of blue-chip customers such as BHP Billiton, Iluka and MMG. Sales into the construction sector added $A3.1m to the revenue growth over the period. Activities in Water & Wastewater were broadly in line with the previous period as evaluations of SciDev chemistry continue to be on hold pending improved COVID-19 pandemic outlook.

1HFY21Sector revenue(A$m) A$7.2 A$6.9 A$3.1 A$1.1 A$18.3
% of TotalRevenue 39% 38% 17% 6%

Cash receipts were A$15.8m for the half, a considerable uplift on 1H20 levels of A$3.8m. Despite the strong uplift in cash receipts, cash from operating activities was (A$4.6m) for the period. The negative operating cashflow is reflective of timing differences between revenue and costs and a product inventory build as the Company gears up to deliver on growth.

At the end of the half the Company had trade receivables of A$5.5m and trade payables of A$5.1m. Whilst operating cashflow for the half was negative, the Company delivered A$1.8m of cash flow from operations for the second quarter, the Company remains committed to delivering positive cashflow.

Cash at bank at the end of the period was A$7.1m (A$3.1m at 31 December 2019). The Company ended the period with A$3.5m of inventory on hand. Gross profit margin for the period was 23% representing a 35% increase on 1HFY20. Gross profit margin is anticipated to normalise in the range of 20-30%.

Outlook

Management focus for the remainder of FY21 will be:

  • Ongoing focus on the health and safety of our employees and stakeholders
  • Continued focus on increasing sales and cash conversion in all regions]
  • Capitalise on our position and market recovery in the North American Oil & Gas sector
  • Drive additional growth in infrastructure sector locally and globally
  • Progress commercial discussions post field validation across several BD opportunities
  • Continue discussions with technology partners in North America and Europe
  • Ongoing assessment of strategic growth opportunities globally

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 2020, 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 2020 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.

SCIDEV LIMITED

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 2020 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.
