Annual Report 2018 Transition Period

The directors present their report together with the financial report of Select Harvests Limited and controlled entities (referred to hereafter as the “Company”, “the Group” or “the consolidated entity”) for the three months ended 30 September 2018.

The Board of Directors resolved to change the Company’s financial year end from 30 June to 30 September effective from 1 July 2018. This change has been made to more appropriately align with the cropping cycle of the Company’s business. Given the Company’s primary source of earnings, and its major focus, from an operational perspective, is the growth and production of almonds at its almond orchards, this change will ensure an improved and more timely level of disclosed information at required reporting dates relating to:

  • crop yield estimates (half year)

  • quality and selling price estimates (half and full year)

  • committed volumes of sales (full year)

This change means that the current reporting period is a three-month transitional financial period beginning on 1 July 2018 and ending on 30 September 2018. Future financial periods will then revert to a twelvemonth financial year, commencing on 1 October and ending 30 September. The comparative period in this financial report is the last set of externally audited financial accounts being the twelve months ended 30 June 2018.

Annual Report 2018 Transition Period

Corporate Information

Nature of operations and principal activities

The principal activities during the period of entities within the Company were:

  • The growing, processing and sale of almonds to the food industry from company owned and leased almond orchards, the provision of management services to external owners of almond orchards, including orchard development, tree supply, farm management, land rental and irrigation infrastructure, and the marketing and selling of almonds on behalf of external investors; and

  • Processing, packaging, marketing and distribution of edible nuts, dried fruits, seeds, and a range of natural health foods.

Employees

The Company employed 551 full time equivalent employees as at 30 September 2018 (30 June 2018: 558 full time equivalent employees).

Full time equivalent employees include: executive, permanent, contractor and seasonal (casual and labour agency hire) employment types.

Operating and Financial Review

Highlights and Key developments during the three-month period ended 30 September 2018

Financial reports in prior periods include, under AASB 141 Agriculture accounting, the fair value estimate for the almond crop related to that period. An important factor in recognising the upcoming crop’s fair value is to be able to reasonably estimate the related revenue and costs. At the point of preparing the accounts for the period, the revenue and costs relating to the 2019 crop cannot be reasonably estimated due to the number of key assumptions that can still vary. These assumptions include crop yield, crop quality, climatic conditions, sales price, foreign exchange, input costs and processing costs.

As a result of the uncertainties above, no 2019 crop fair value (profit) has been recognised for the period. The presented financial results for this current period include earnings from the Food segment, non-2019 crop related earnings from the Almond segment and corporate costs.

Given the major portion of the company’s earnings arise from the related period’s crop, the non-recognition of this component of the company’s earnings has resulted in a small loss for the period. The company’s new financial year commences on 1 October 2018. Therefore, on the release of the half-year results ending 31 March 2019 50% of the 2019 crop profit will be recognised.

The focus by the Board, Executive Management and employees continues to be to consolidate the company’s asset base to deliver improved returns though increasing yields, improved cost of production and optimising the capital project investments made in the past two years. Debt levels continue to be effectively managed through improved operating cashflows and a reduction in major capital expenditure. Green field expansion, mature orchard acquisitions and non-almond related opportunities continue to be assessed for future growth.

Financial Performance Review

Profitability

Reported Net Loss After Tax (NLAT) is $1.54 million. Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) is a loss of $1.05 million.

As detailed above given the shortened transitional reporting period and no recognition of the 2019 crop fair value a small loss has been recorded. Normal recognition of crop earnings and profitability levels will recommence in the new financial year starting 1 October 2018.

Almond Division Profitability

Sales from prior year crops generated $43.6 million. This can be either raw material processed and packed or value add material processed through the Parboil facility. It should be noted while revenue is recorded during the period the related profit has been previously recognised in prior periods through AASB 141 (accounting for Agriculture).

A three month EBIT loss of $1.01 million is a result of no recognition of 2019 crop fair value. The loss is a result of external earnings from processing and hull sales offset by higher costs of operating Parboil and Almond Division corporate costs (including allocated costs).

Food Division Profitability

Revenues of $35.0 million were generated for the three months from continued domestic contracts and growing export related sales. An EBIT of $1.2 million for the three months was achieved through higher industrial related sales, particularly to China. This was partially offset by lower margins achieved in the packaged food division as a result of increased raw material input costs, the export product mix, delay in an international order (recognised in October) and investment in the new China licence and distribution agreement with Pepsico.

Interest Expense

Interest expense of $1.0 million reflects the lower overall debt levels as a result of improved operating cashflows and reduced major capital expenditure.

Balance Sheet

Net assets at 30 September 2018 are $370.6 million, compared to $378.6 million at 30 June 2018. An increase in plant and equipment (timing as a result of pre-harvest orders) and water purchases has been offset by lower debtors, lower inventory levels and higher creditors outstanding (including accruing for FY2018 final dividend).

Net working capital has decreased by 22.9%. This decrease is due to improved debtor management and continued almond sales reducing inventory levels and the accrual of FY2018 final dividend payable in October 2018.

$000’s 30 September 2018 30 June 2018
Trade and other receivables 47,023 51,378
Inventories 99,410 109,321
Trade and other payables (40,319) (22,972)
Net working capital 106,114 137,727

Cash flow and Net Bank Debt

Net bank debt at 30 September 2018 was $58.9 million (30 June 2018 $70.8 million) including finance lease commitments of $35.1 million (30 June 2018 $36.5 million), with a gearing ratio (net bank debt/equity) of 15.9% (30 June 2018: 18.7%). The improved net debt position is a result of improved operating cashflows and lower levels of capital expenditure on major projects.

Operating cash inflow for the three month period is $24.9 million. This is a result of the timing of the sales cycle (i.e. high 2018 crop sales while cash operating costs are lower). The net cash position for the company improved by $9.4 million reflecting the higher operating cash position partially offset by operational capital expenditure, tree development and permanent water purchases.

Dividends

Being a three months transition financial period, no dividend has been declared. This compares to a total dividend of 12 cents per share declared for the 12 months ended 30 June 2018.

Community

Select Harvests is a significant employer and proud member of the community with orchards in regional Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales and we have significant processing facilities at Thomastown in the Northern Metropolitan area of Melbourne and Robinvale, in North West Victoria. We are actively involved in all our local communities. Many of our employees contribute to local community organisations on a regular basis.

Fair Employment Practices

Our policies, practices and procedures ensure that all our employees and contractors are treated in a fair and reasonable manner. We are an Equal Employment Opportunity employer, who values and respects Inclusion and Diversity in our workplace.

All third-party labour providers engaged are subject to meeting our Contractor Engagement and Recruitment Policies that warrant compliance with Australian labour laws and legislative obligations. We undertake regular audits to ensure compliance with focus on the payment of wages and eligibility to work in Australia. We have had nil breaches in the current or prior period.

Sustainability

Select Harvests aims to operate a sustainable business with environmental, social and financial security. This ensures Select Harvests will generate value for our shareholders, customers, consumers and our local communities.

We recognise the potential impact of horticultural practices and are committed to preserving native vegetation and wildlife. Our policies govern our wildlife management plan and fulfil our licencing requirements as required.

We are a signatory of the National Packaging Industry Covenant, which aims to deliver more sustainable packaging, increased recycling rates and reduced litter. Our office and farm waste is recycled where appropriate.

A summary of our environmental, water, energy consumption and pollination management practices are outlined below.

Environmental Regulation and Performance

Select Harvests is subject to environmental regulations under laws of the Commonwealth and State Governments of Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia. We hold licences issued by the Environmental Protection Authority which specify limits for discharges to the environment from our facilities and orchards. These licences regulate the management of discharge to the air and stormwater runoff.

We take our environmental responsibilities seriously and have policies and procedures in place to ensure we adhere to our environmental plans that preserve the habitat of native species. Almond developments have had a positive environmental impact. The change in land use and the increase in food source have seen a rejuvenation of remnant native vegetation and an increase in wildlife population.

We are pleased to report that we have had no environmental breaches during the three month period. There have been no breaches of the Company's licence conditions.

Water

Water is a scarce and finite resource and water efficiency is a key input on our almond orchards. We invest significant capital and management resources into improving our water utilisation. These include installing best practice irrigation systems to deliver water efficiently, dedicated resources on each farm to optimise water which include reviewing and agreeing the irrigation and fertigation application on a weekly basis. To complement and actively provide guidance to water and fertiliser management, we also utilise several innovative technology solutions such as soil water monitoring, plant based monitoring and high-resolution imagery.

In some orchards we are recycling water from our drainage system, resulting in cost savings and lessening the impact to water tables. In addition, we are trialling higher yielding varieties that use less water per metric tonne of almonds.

Given almonds are a long-term investment and we operate in several different irrigation regions, we have developed a diverse water strategy to enable a secure supply. The strategy is reviewed by the Board annually and reported monthly. The key objectives of the strategy are to mitigate our risk exposure to immediate and future forecast weather events (e.g. drought), high market prices plus projected and market trends.

Energy and Recycling

Our largest energy saving initiative remains Project H2E, the biomass electricity co-generation plant which is currently in its commissioning phase. Consuming almond by-product (including hull, shell and orchard waste), Project H2E will generate enough electricity to power the Carina West Processing Facility as well as nearby pumps for the Carina West Orchard. Project H2E is forecast to deliver a carbon footprint reduction of 27% or the equivalent of removing 8,210 cars off the road. It is currently producing energy and is in the final stage of commissioning. We are currently investigating the use of solar and other sustainable energy sources to operate our facilities, orchards and associated housing.

Our other sustainability efforts for this project include the recycling of all processing waste streams into stockfeed, power generation and composting combined with potash, as input to our ongoing zero waste approach.

Office waste, containers and packaging are wherever possible recycled or reused. All food waste is sold into the stockfeed industry.

Pollination Management

Our almond orchards are dependent on bee pollination. The key challenges and risks in bee stewardship centre on crop safety and optimum bee health. We source our pollination services by adopting several approaches which include utilising several pollination brokers and through direct relationship with apiarists. This generates productive relationships and an optimum pollination outcome.

Recognising the importance of bees, we actively engage and support the bee and pollination industries. This includes the sponsorship and support for apiary associations, participation and presentation at conferences, all-of-horticulture and almond specific R&D projects, committees and meetings.

We continue to investigate innovative technology solutions to generate improved colony health and pollination outcomes. These include colony imagery and artificial pollen application.

Our bee stewardship practices continue on orchard, with the fostering of alternative forage sources for bees, provision of water at pollination sites to aid bee hydration, avoidance of weedicide spraying when colonies are present, audited spray diaries and ongoing inspections to monitor for colony strength and promote healthy colonies.

Other critical components to ensuring maximum yield include successful cross-pollination through varietal selection. On orchard horticultural practices are established to avoid or minimise bloom pathogens (disease causing fungi).

10

Select Harvests Limited

30 September 2018

Annual Report 2018 Transition Period

This season we undertook a mechanical pollination trial at our Carina orchard. We have trials of selfpollinating trees in all three growing regions.

Risk Management

Select Harvests has a risk management process in place to identify, analyse, assess, manage and monitor risks throughout all parts of the business.

The Company maintains and refreshes its detailed risk register annually. The register provides a framework and benchmark against which risks are reported on at different levels in the business, with a bi annual report presented to the Board.

Each month major risks are reviewed by Senior Management and the Board. They include

  • Safety Risks (including employee safety, fire prevention and plant operation);

  • Horticultural Risks (including climatic, disease, water management, pollination and quality)

  • Food Safety Risks (including product quality, utilities supply, major equipment failure); and

  • Financial Risks (including currency, customer concentration, market pricing)

Outlook

The horticultural program for the 2019 crop is progressing well. The trees have received sufficient chill hours through the dormancy period and a successful pollination program has been completed. We have passed the major risk timeframe for frost damage. While there were some significant frost events during the period the company’s investment in frost fans earlier this year has predominantly mitigated any significant damage.

Based on industry average yields and the age profile of the orchards, and assuming normal growing conditions for the season, the Select Harvests 2019 theoretical crop would be approximately 17,000MT (+/5%).

  • At this point in the 2019 crop’s horticultural cycle

  • Orchards negatively impacted by frost last season are expected to rebound strongly given their lower 2018 yields.

  • Greenfield investments are currently yielding higher than industry average expectations.

If these positive growing conditions continue for the remainder of the season, harvest will commence in midFebruary. Subject to agricultural risks, the company is expecting to deliver yields above the industry average for the 2019 crop.

Water pricing remains a concern as dry conditions prevail and long-term forecasts suggest this may continue. Fortunately our policy of owning a third of our water requirements, long and medium term leasing a third of our requirements and acquiring a third on the spot market means we are not fully exposed to the recent increases in water prices. However, we are expecting an uplift in water related operating costs for the 2019 year. This will be partially offset by savings achieved in other operating expenditure categories. The expected yield increase will also favourably impact the company’s cost per kg due to volume efficiencies.

USD almond pricing is currently steady based on an objective estimated US crop of 2.45 billion pounds (expectations are that the final crop volume will be 2.35 billion pounds). The impact of US tariffs is still uncertain as is the movement of the AUD.

11

Select Harvests Limited

30 September 2018

Annual Report 2018 Transition Period

The Almond Division remains well placed going into FY2019 with high quality assets and an increasing production profile in place. The focus areas moving forward continue to be:

  • Maximise the yield potential of the orchard profile through best of class horticultural management.

  • Improve efficiency and further reduce the cost of production per kg following the progress made in FY2018.

  • Improve quality levels through targeted equipment investment in the Carina West Processing Facility (underway).

  • Optimise the value-add opportunities out of the Parboil Facility at an improved cost per kg through improved production planning.

  • Fully operate H2E to deliver all production plant power requirements, deliver surplus power to the grid and produce high quality pot ash to be re-applied to current orchard assets.

  • New greenfield opportunities continue to be assessed in addition to mature orchard acquisition both domestically and internationally.

China is an increasing opportunity for both of the company’s segments. Our license and distribution agreement with Pepsico has successfully commenced and further growth options are being considered by both parties. This covers both increasing the product range and expanding geographies in the region.

The domestic branded and third-party packing market remains challenging as we continue to operate within tight margins. Production efficiencies through investment in quality equipment, improved production planning and targeted entry points remains a focus.

The industrial segment of the Food Division performed strongly over the past three months. The current free trade agreement between China and Australia increased the level of enquiry for Australian sourced product. The majority of industrial related volume was provided to the China marketplace. This has allowed us to develop key contacts in an attractive market providing access to a supplier who delivers quality product.

The medium and long-term fundamentals of our industry and business remain strong. Through Select Harvests high quality assets we are well placed to deliver on the increasing demand from consumers and industry for plant protein product, in both developed and developing economies.

Remuneration Report

Introduction from the Chair of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of my Board colleagues I'm pleased to present our 30 September 2018 remuneration report. The objective of Select Harvests remuneration strategy is to attract, retain and motivate the people we require to sustainably manage and grow the business. Executive remuneration packages include a balance of fixed remuneration, short term cash incentives and long term equity incentives. The framework endeavours to align executive reward with market conditions and shareholders’ interests.

Fixed remuneration is aligned to the market mid-point for similar roles in comparable companies.

The current short term incentive program is based on a 15 month performance (July 2018 to September 2019 – reflecting the change to a new financial reporting period) and assessed against key financial and operational performance indicators (KPIs). The performance targets are based on the submitted business plan and set at a level that results in a 50% payout on achievement of a stretching but realistically achievable level of performance. Maximum payout only occurs where there is a clearly outstanding level of performance across all KPIs. In addition to KPIs for their business unit and areas of direct responsibility all KMP share a company NPAT KPI to encourage a strong executive team dynamic and cross business unit collaboration.

Setting KPIs for a business such as ours has the challenge of a number of factors such as climatic conditions, commodity prices and exchange rates having a significant effect on results. While management can to some degree mitigate these “agricultural risks” and should be encouraged to do so, they are largely out of our control. The Board retains some discretion in evaluating overall individual and company performance. Rewarding performance aligned to shareholder interest, demonstrated leadership in conjunction with SHV values and taking into account operating conditions.

The health and well-being of our people remains the paramount priority for the business, with the short term incentive payments conditional on the foundations being in place for a safe work environment and demonstration of a strong safety culture.

The long term incentive plan is based on 3 year performance of total shareholder returns relative to peers and EPS growth. The peer group we reference is other consumer staple companies in the all ordinaries index with 50% vesting on achievement of median performance and full vesting at the 75[th] percentile. The EPS compound annual growth band is broad with vesting starting at 5% and full vesting occurring at 20%. The choice of a broad band reflects our desire for the start point to have a reasonable probability of occurring and for full vesting to only occur when there is a strong outcome for shareholders. The Board is currently evaluating the options to adjust the measurement period to reflect the company’s change to its new financial year.

No short-term incentive or quantitative information is shown for the three month financial year transition period ended 30 September 2018. While an expense has been accrued at a group level, at this stage (in the 15 month cycle to the end of September 2019), it is too early to determine individual performance against targets set for a September 2019 year end.

We look forward to a strong performance in FY2019 where our employee’s performance triggers higher STI payouts and LTI vesting so that they and you, our shareholders share greater rewards.

Select Harvests Limited Annual Report 2018 Transition Period

30 September 2018

What is the remuneration mix for Key Management Personnel?

The remuneration mix for KMP is balanced between fixed and variable remuneration.

  • CEO: 50% of remuneration is performance-based pay and 37.5% of remuneration is delivered as performance rights to shares.

  • Other KMP: 35% of their remuneration is performance-based pay and 20% of their remuneration is delivered as performance rights to shares.

STI payments are based on 50% of the maximum vesting on achievement of a stretching but achievable planned level of performance having regard to past and otherwise expected achievements.

LTI grants are at face value, where face value represents the share pricing at the time of allocating grants and relates to rights due for vesting at 30 June 2019 (currently under review for a potential shift to September). Executive KMP have minimum shareholding requirements.

How much did you pay your executive for the three months ended 30 September 2018?

The table below presents the remuneration paid to, or vested for, Executive KMP for the three months ended 30 September 2018.

  1. While potential STI payments are accrued at a group level based on budgeted performance for the 15 months ending 30 September 2019 there remains a high degree of uncertainty as to the final Group result and the allocation to an individual basis at this point would not be an accurate assessment.

  2. No rights were vested during the three month period ended 30 September 2018.

What equity was granted for the three months ended 30 September 2018?

No equity was granted to KMPs for the three months ended 30 September 2018. However, the performance testing period for the third tranche of performance rights approved at the 2014 AGM commenced on the 1[st] of July 2017. These performance rights are subject to performance conditions starting 1 July 2017 and finishing 30 June 2020.

2.2 How STI outcomes are linked to performance

Given this is a transition period, no STI calculation have been completed.

At the commencement of each annual operating cycle the board sets KPIs for the CEO and the CEO sets KPIs for the KMP with target levels of performance based on the board approved annual operating plan. At the end of the operating cycle the board assesses performance against these KPIs and how this rates against the scales set out in the following table. This determines the STI reward.

2.3 What we paid executive KMP in FY18 – Further detail

The following pages compare the maximum potential and actual remuneration for the three month period ended 30 September 2018 and for the 12 month period ended 30 June 2018 for current KMP. Amounts include:

  • Total fixed remuneration

  • STI achieved as a result of business and individual performance (versus the maximum potential cash STI)

  • Share performance rights that vested during the year at face value[1] (versus the maximum initial award face value) for the performance testing period concluding in that year.

This information differs from the statutory remuneration disclosures presented in Section 5.1 as the performance rights value is based on the closing share price on the day the tranche of performance rights was approved.

2.4 FY19 Outlook

The Committee and Board continue to review and finesse our remuneration arrangements:

  • Our proposed LTIP grants for YE2019 will be for a single year allocation. Our prior practice of obtaining approval for 3 tranches for the current and following 2 years, resulted in the point of testing for the final tranche being six years after the grant date. An annual allocation will allow closer alignment to current strategic plans.

  • The 2019 STIP KPIs are evolving to see a greater focus on financial metrics. This includes introducing a capital efficiency measure.

  • The change in our reporting period will have ramifications for our incentive arrangements, and any modifications will aim to achieve a fair balance between shareholders’ and the executives’ interests.

20

Select Harvests Limited

30 September 2018

Annual Report 2018 Transition Period

  • We are evaluating the move to a single incentive-based remuneration plan as a number of companies are doing. This remains “work in progress” and something we will consider more closely once our new reporting period is bedded down.

2.5 Terms of KMP Service Agreements

Remuneration and other terms of employment for the KMP are formalised in service agreements. These service agreements set out the base salary arrangements and future review. Each of these agreements provide for participation in a Short Term Incentive Plan and a Long Term Incentive Plan.

Other significant provisions of the agreements are that the term is on-going with a 6 months notice period for the CEO and three months notice period for all other KMP.

Other than the notice periods, there are no specific termination benefits applicable to the service agreements.

3. NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS’ ARRANGEMENTS

On appointment to the Board, all non-executive directors enter into a service agreement with the Company in the form of a letter of appointment. The letter summarises the Board policies and terms, including compensation, relevant to the office of director.

Non-Executive Directors receive fees (including statutory superannuation) but do not receive any performance related remuneration nor are they issued options or performance rights on securities. This reflects the responsibilities and the Group’s demands of directors. Non-executive directors’ fees are periodically reviewed by the Board to ensure that they are appropriate and in line with market expectations.

Non-Executive Directors’ professional development is supported and funded through the companies training budget. There is no equity ownership requirement for Non-Executive Directors.

The current aggregate fee limit of $830,000 was approved by shareholders at the 26 November 2015 Annual General Meeting. For the three months reporting period the total amount paid to non-executive directors was $155,116.

The remuneration is a base fee with the Chair of each of the Committee receiving additional fees commensurate with their responsibilities. The current directors’ fees are as follows:

Base Fees paid during the period (including superannuation)
Chairman $54,252

Annual Report 2018 Transition Period

Notes

It should be noted that performance rights granted, referred to in the remuneration details set out in this report, comprise a proportion of rights which have not yet vested and are reflective of rights that may or may not vest in future years.

The elements of remuneration have been determined based on the cost to the consolidated entity.

Performance rights granted have been independently valued using the Monte Carlo simulation option pricing model, which takes account of factors such as the exercise price of the rights, the current level and volatility of the underlying share price and the time to maturity of the rights. The amount shown here is an accounting expense and reflects the value as determined using this model. The value is expensed over the vesting period of the rights.

1. Nature and purpose of reserves

(i) Asset revaluation reserve

The asset revaluation reserve was previously used to record increments and decrements in the value of non-current assets. This revaluation reserve is no longer in use given assets are now recorded at cost.

(ii) Options reserve

The options reserve is used to recognise the fair value of performance rights granted and expensed but not exercised.

(iii) Cash flow hedge reserve

The cash flow hedge reserve is used to record gains or losses on the fair value movements in the interest rate swap and foreign currency contracts in a cash flow hedge that are recognised directly in equity.

The above statement of changes in equity should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notes.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the Company consisting of Select Harvests Limited and its subsidiaries.

(a) Basis of preparation

This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001. Select Harvests Limited is a for profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

Compliance with IFRS

The consolidated financial statements of the Select Harvests Limited group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through the income statement, biological assets, and certain classes of property, plant and equipment.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with AIFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher level of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 2.

(b) Changes in accounting policies

In the current period, AASB 9 Financial instruments and AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers were adopted. As a result of the changes in the entity’s accounting policies, the adoption of the new standards did not have an impact on prior year financial statements and hence they were not restated.

The following tables show the adjustments on opening balances recognised for each individual line item. Line items that were not affected by the changes have not been included. As a result, the sub-totals and totals disclosed cannot be recalculated from the numbers provided. The adjustments are explained in more detail below.

(i) AASB 9 Financial Instruments

AASB 9 replaces the provisions of AASB139 that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting.

The adoption of AASB 9 Financial Instruments from 1 July 2018 resulted in changes in accounting policies and adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The new accounting policies are set out in note 11. In accordance with the transitional provisions in AASB 9, comparative figures have not been restated with the exception of certain aspects of hedge accounting.

The total impact on the group’s retained earnings as at 1 July 2018 and 1 July 2017 is as follows:

Impact from the adoption of AASB 9 on prior periods

The foreign currency forwards and interest rate swaps in place as at 30 June 2018 qualified as cash flow hedges under AASB 9. The group’s risk management strategies and hedge documentation are aligned with the requirements of AASB 9 and these relationships are therefore treated as continuing hedges.

Prior to 1 July 2018, the Company classified foreign currency options as cash flow hedges where the intrinsic value component was recognised through the hedging reserve and the time value component flowed through the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Following the adoption of AASB 9, the group now designates the intrinsic value and time value component of foreign currency options is deferred in the costs of the hedging reserve and recognised against the related hedge transaction when it occurs.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Impairment of financial assets

The Company was required to revise its impairment methodology under AASB 9 for its trade receivables. There was no material impact noted from the change in impairment methodology.

Trade receivables

The group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all its trade receivables. This change did not impact the loss allowance on 1 July 2018. Note 9(a) provides for details about the calculation of the allowance.

(ii) AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The group has adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 July 2018 which resulted in changes in accounting policies where revenue is recognised when control of a good or service is transferred to the customer. Prior to adoption of AASB15, revenue was recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity, the revenue can be reliably measured, and the risks and rewards have passed to the buyer. Upon completion of our assessment, no material adjustments were required to be made in the financial statements.

New and amended standards

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 30 September 2018 reporting period. The Company's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.

(i) AASB 16 Leases

AASB 16 Leases will primarily affect the accounting treatment of leases by lessees and will result in the recognition of almost all leases on the balance sheet. There are however, recognition exemptions for short term leases and leases of low-value items. The current standard removes the current distinction between operating and financing leases and requires recognition of an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability which represents the present value of future lease payments.

As a lessee with substantial costs incurred from operating leases of its farms, the implementation of this standard is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements at transition and in future years to the extent that leases currently classified as operating leases will need to be recognized on balance sheet. In addition, the current operating lease expense recognized in the income statement will be replaced with a depreciation and interest expense. The changes are expected to be adopted from 1 October 2019.

The Company has identified all its material leases and is currently in the process of completing an assessment of the full impact of the change, however a reliable estimate of the quantitative impact cannot yet be provided due to unresolved matters, including:

  • Determination of the lease term for leases with option periods

  • Conclusion on appropriate discount rates

The Company will provide an estimate of the financial impact of the new standard once these matters are resolved and the financial impact can be accurately assessed.

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that are expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(b) Principles of consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.

(c) Foreign currency translation

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each entity comprising the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the functional and presentation currency of Select Harvests Limited.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges.

(d) Comparatives

Where necessary, comparatives have been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current period disclosures.

(e) Rounding

The amounts contained in this report and in the financial report have been rounded to the nearest $1,000 (where rounding is applicable) under the option available to the Company under ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/ Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191. The Company is an entity to which the Class Order applies.

(f) Parent entity financial information

The financial information for the parent entity, Select Harvests Limited, disclosed in Note 27 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below.

(i) Investments in subsidiaries and associates

Investments in subsidiaries and associates are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Select Harvests Limited.

2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates may not by definition, equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Inventory - Current Year Almond Crop

Due to a number of variables at this stage in the cropping cycle no assumption has been made on the value of the 2019 crop. At this point all costs, as they are being incurred, are being capitalised to the balance sheet. At a future point in time the value of the crop will be determined and the capitalised costs taken into account. The net value of the crop (fair value) will then be recognised (proportionately) through the income statement.

Carrying value of Project H2E

Included within note 12, Property, Plant and Equipment is a $21.8m asset in the Capital Work in Progress category relating to Project H2E (hull to energy), a Biomass Cogeneration Power Plant project that will use almond hull and shell as a fuel source for generating electricity and steam directly to the Group’s Carina West Processing Facility.

The project is currently nearing completion and is in its commissioning phase with some engineering rectification works still required. There is significant judgement in estimating the recoverable amount of this asset due to the judgemental nature of the key assumptions used. In addition to the forecast costs to complete the project, key assumptions used in estimating the asset’s recoverable amount include market prices for electricity, large scale generator (LGC) certificates, potash and almond hull. At 30 September 2018, the recoverable amount of this asset exceeds its carrying value, but there is limited headroom and the model is highly sensitive to changes in the above assumptions.

Fair Value of Acquired Assets

In calculating the fair value of acquired assets, in particular almond orchards, the Company has made various assumptions. These include future almond price, long term yield and discount rates. The valuation of almond trees is very sensitive to these assumptions and any change may have a material impact on these valuations.

Carrying value of intangible assets

The Group tests annually whether intangible assets, have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 13. The recoverable amounts of cash generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations.

Key assumptions and sensitivities are disclosed in Note 13.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate risk, foreign exchange and other price risks, and ageing analysis for credit risk.

Risk management is carried out by management pursuant to policies approved by the Board of Directors.

(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the Company’s functional currency.

The Group sells both almonds harvested from owned orchards through the almond pool and processed products internationally in United States dollars, and purchases raw materials and other inputs to the manufacturing and almond growing process from overseas suppliers predominantly in United States dollars. The Group also acquires capital related items internationally in both United States dollars and European dollars.

Management and the Board review the foreign exchange position of the Group and, where appropriate, enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments, transacted with the Group’s bankers to manage its foreign exchange risk, including forward foreign currency contracts and options

The exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting date was as follows:

Group 30 30 30 June

- sell foreign currency (cash flow hedges) 22,400 - 24,533 -
Sell foreign currency option contracts* 5,000 - 20,000 -
  • Foreign currency option contracts have a number of possible outcomes depending on the spot rate at maturity. These contracts are shown at face value. Depending on spot rate at maturity, the value of the contract can be USD$ Nil or USD$10,000,000.

Group sensitivity analysis

Based on financial instruments held at 30 September 2018, had the Australian dollar strengthened/ weakened by 5% against the US dollar and the EUR, with all other variables held constant, the Group’s results for the period would have been $1,151,000 lower/$1,272,00 higher (30 June 2018: $1,906,000 lower/ $2,106,000 higher), mainly as a result of the US dollar denominated financial instruments as detailed in the above table. Equity would have been $1,604,000 lower/ $1,773,000 higher (30 June 2018: $2,673,000 lower/ $2,954,000 higher), arising mainly from forward foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

(ii) Cash flow interest rate risk

The Group’s interest rate risk arises from borrowings issued at variable rates, which exposes the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The Group’s borrowings at variable interest rate are denominated in Australian dollars.

At the reporting date the Group had the following variable rate borrowings:

30 September 2018 Balance 30 June 2018 Balance
Average
Interest Rate
%
$’000 Average
Interest Rate
%
$’000
Debt facilities (AUD) 3.75% 30,400 4.04% 31,500
Overdraft (USD) 1.93% 181 1.22% 2,340

An analysis of maturities is provided in (c) below.

The Group analyses interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis in conjunction with the debt facility, cash flow and capital management. As part of the Risk Management policy of Select Harvests Limited, the company had entered into an agreement to swap $13.5m (30 June 2018: $13.5m) of debt for 1 year at 1.77% to reduce the risk that higher interest rate pose to the company’s cash flows.

Group sensitivity

At 30 September 2018, if interest rates had changed by +/- 25 basis points from the weighted average interest rate with all other variables held constant, result for the period would have been $54,000 lower/higher (30 June 2018: $59,000 lower/higher).

Financial Assets

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Trade receivables are carried at full amounts due less expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables.

Amounts receivable from other debtors are carried at full amounts due. Other debtors are normally settled on 30 days from month end unless there is a specific contract which specifies an alternative date. Amounts receivable from related parties are carried at full amounts due.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Financial Liabilities

The bank overdraft disclosed within interest bearing liabilities is carried at the principal amount and is part of the Net Cash balance in the Statement of Cash Flows. Interest is charged as an expense as it accrues. Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Company.

Finance lease liabilities are accounted for in accordance with AASB 117 Leases.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, favourable derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to wholesale, retail and farm investor customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions.

The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Group has policies in place to ensure that sales of products and services are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. Derivative counterparties and cash transactions are limited to high credit quality financial institutions.

The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due or impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available) and to historical information. Majority of the Group’s sales are derived from large, established customers with no history of default.

The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 24 month and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.

The Group’s banking partners have long-term credit ratings of AA- and A+ (Standard and Poor’s).

(c) Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

(d) Fair Value Measurement

The fair value of certain financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets, such as forward foreign currency contracts and interest rate swap, are based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the current bid price; the appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current ask price.

The nominal value less estimated credit adjustments of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Company for similar instruments.

Disclosures are required of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

  • (a) Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level one);

  • (b) Inputs other than quoted prices included within level one that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level two); and

  • (c) Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level three).

At 30 September 2018 the group’s assets and liabilities measured and recognised at fair value comprised the forward foreign currency contracts and interest rate swap derivative. Both are level 2 measurements under the hierarchy.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised when performance obligations are satisfied and control of the goods or services have passed or provided to the buyer. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of Goods

Control for the goods has been transferred to the buyer.

Management services

Management services revenue relates to services provided for the management and development of farms and is recognised as services are provided.

Interest

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans is recognised using the original effective interest rate.

Almond Pool Revenue

Under contractual arrangements, the group acts as an agent for external growers by selling almonds on their behalf and does not make a margin on those sales. These amounts are not included in the group’s revenue. However, the Company receives a marketing fee for providing this service.

As at 30 September 2018 the group held almond inventory on behalf of external growers which was not recorded as inventory of the Company. All revenue is stated net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (GST).

5. REVENUE (continued)

Government grants

Government grants are assistance by the government in the form of transfers of resources to the Group in return for past or future compliance with certain conditions relating to the operating activities of the consolidated entity.

Government grants relating to income are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs. Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised as income of the period in which they become receivable.

Government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are deducted from the carrying amount of the asset on the Balance sheet. The Grant is recognised in profit or loss over the life of the depreciable asset as a reduced depreciation expense.

----- End of picture text -----

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the national income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

(i) Investment allowances and similar tax incentives

Companies within the group may be entitled to claim special tax deductions for investments in qualifying assets or in relation to qualifying expenditure (e.g. the Research and Development Tax Incentive regime in Australia or other investment allowances). The group accounts for such allowances as tax credits, which means that the allowance reduces income tax payable and current tax expense. A deferred tax asset is recognised for unclaimed tax credits that are carried forward.

(ii) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

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 balance sheet.

Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from 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.

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. They are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Details about the Company’s impairment policies and the calculation of the loss allowance are explained below.

(a) Impairment of trade receivables

The group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables.

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 24 months before 30 September 2018 and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.

The ageing analysis as at 30 September 2018 and 1 July 2018 (on adoption of AASB 9) was determined as follows:

(b) Effective interest rates and credit risk

All receivables are non-interest bearing.

The Company minimises concentrations of credit risk in relation to trade receivables by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers from across the range of business segments in which the Company operates. Refer to Note 3 for more information on the risk management policy of the Company as well as the effective interest rate and credit risk of both current and non-current receivables.

(c) Fair value

Due to the short-term nature of these receivables, their carrying amount is assumed to approximate their fair value.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value except for almond stocks which are measured at fair value less estimated cost to sell at the point of harvest, and subsequently at Net Realisable Value under AASB 102 Inventories.

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

  • Raw materials and consumables: purchase cost on a first in first out basis;

  • Finished goods and work in progress: cost of direct material and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity;

  • Almond stocks are valued in accordance with AASB 141 Agriculture whereby the cost of the non-living (harvested) produce is deemed to be its net market value immediately after it becomes non-living. This valuation takes into account current almond selling prices and current processing and selling costs; and

  • Other inventories comprise consumable stocks of chemicals, fertilisers and packaging materials.

10. INVENTORIES (continued)

(a) Agriculture produce

Growing almond crop

The growing almond crop is valued in accordance with AASB 141 Agriculture. The inventory fair value adjustment in the Statement of Comprehensive Income relates to the reversal of the fair valuation of the 2018 year almond crop. For the three months ended 30 September 2018, no fair value for 2019 almond crop was adjusted in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. This change in recognition is to more appropriately align with the cropping cycle and will improve the level of accuracy in the crop yield estimates, quality and selling price estimates as well as committed volumes.

(b) Almond tree depreciation

During the period, the Company has amended the way it computes the fair value of almond stock. Prior to 1 July 2018, the company had recognised almond tree depreciation as a direct expense to the Statement of Comprehensive Income and it was not included as part of its fair value calculations. With the change in the Company’s financial year end, the Company has determined it is appropriate to capitalise the almond tree depreciation into the cost base of the inventory, in line with the capitalisation policies for other costs relevant to the production of inventory. The almond tree depreciation cost is subsequently recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when the inventory is sold. Had the change in computation been implemented in the previous year, there would have been an improvement in the prior year profit before tax of $0.9 million to the prior period. This amount has not been restated in the financials as it is not considered material to the prior period.

In the three month period ended 30 September 2018, $1.31 million (12 month ended 30 June 2018: $Nil) of almond tree depreciation was capitalised into the inventory cost base.

(a) Derivatives

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Company designates derivatives as either; (1) hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedge); or (2) hedges of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges).

50

Select Harvests Limited

30 September 2018

Annual Report 2018 Transition Period

Notes to the Financial Statements

11. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

(i) Hedge ineffectiveness

Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument. The Company documents the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions.

For hedges of foreign currency purchases and sales, the Company enters into hedge relationships where the critical terms of the hedging instrument match exactly with the terms of the hedged item. The Company therefore performs a qualitative assessment of effectiveness. If changes in circumstances affect the terms of the hedged item such that the critical terms no longer match exactly with the critical terms of the hedging instrument, the Company uses the hypothetical derivative method to assess effectiveness. Ineffectiveness may arise if the timing of the forecast transaction changes from what was originally estimated or if there are changes in the credit risk.

In hedges of foreign currency purchases and sales, ineffectiveness may arise if the timing of the forecast transaction changes from what was originally estimated, or if there are changes in the credit risk of Australia or the derivative counterparty.

(ii) Fair value hedge

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the income statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.

(iii) Cash flow hedge

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

When option contracts are used to hedge forecast transactions, the Company designates both the intrinsic value and time value of the options as the hedging instrument. Gains and losses relating to the effective portion of the change in value of the options are recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity. Prior to 1 July 2018, the time value of options was recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

When forward contracts are used to hedge forecast transactions, the Company designates the full change in fair value of the forward contract (including forward points) as the hedging instrument. The gains or losses relating to the effective portion of the change in fair value of the entire forward contract are recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity.

Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the periods when the hedged item will affect profit or loss (for instance when the forecast sale that is hedged takes place). However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset (for example, inventory) or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the measurement of the initial cost or carrying amount of the asset or liability.

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative deferred gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the income statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

11. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

The Company entered into forward foreign currency contracts to buy and sell specified amounts of foreign currency in the future at stipulated exchange rates. The objective of entering the forward foreign currency contracts is to protect the Company against unfavourable exchange rate movements for highly probable contracted and forecasted sales and purchases undertaken in foreign currencies.

(iv) Credit risk exposures

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets, net of any provisions for doubtful debts of those assets, as disclosed in the balance sheet and Notes to the financial statements.

Credit risk for derivative financial instruments arises from the potential failure by counterparties to the contract to meet their obligations at maturity. The credit risk exposure to forward exchange contracts and the interest rate swap are the net fair values of these instruments.

The net amount of the foreign currency the Company will be required to pay or purchase when settling the brought forward foreign currency contracts should the counterparty not pay the currency it is committed to deliver to the Company at balance date was USD $25,338,167 and EUR $346,994 (30 June 2018: USD $42,771,322; EUR $375,244).

The Company does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments entered into by the Company.

Cost and valuation

All classes of property, plant and equipment are measured at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from those assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from the assets’ employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to present values in determining recoverable amounts.

As part of the Company’s refinancing activities in November 2017 an independent bank valuation was completed for specific assets of our Almond Division (owned orchards and Carina West Processing Facility). The book value of the assets at time of valuation was $171.6 million against an independent valuation for these assets at $250.6 million.

12. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued)

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised leased assets, but excluding freehold land water rights are depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives to the entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Bearer plants are assumed ready for use when a commercial crop is produced from the seventh year post planting. The depreciation on the almond trees amounting to $1.3 million (30 June 2018: $Nil) was capitalised into the inventory cost base. Refer to note 10(b) for further information. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

The useful lives for each class of assets are:

he useful lives for each class of assets are:
Buildings: 25 to 40 years
Leasehold improvements: 5 to 40 years
Plant and equipment: 5 to 20 years
Leased plant and equipment: 5 to 10 years
Bearer plants 10 to 30 years
Irrigation systems: 10 to 40 years

Capital works in progress

Capital works in progress are valued at cost and relate to costs incurred for owned orchards and other assets under development.

(b) Leased assets

Plant and equipment and bearer plants includes the following amounts where the Group is a lessee under a finance lease.

Leases

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.

Finance leases

Leases which effectively transfer substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item to the Company are capitalised at the present value of the minimum lease payments and disclosed as plant and equipment under lease. A lease liability of equal value is also recognised.

Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the assets and the lease term. Minimum lease payments are allocated between interest expense and reduction of the lease liability with the interest expense calculated using the interest rate implicit in the lease and charged directly to the income statement.

The cost of improvements to or on leasehold property is capitalised, disclosed as leasehold improvements, and amortised over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is the shorter.

*Brand name assets principally relate to the “Lucky” brand, which has been assessed as having an indefinite useful life. This assessment is based on the Lucky brand having been sold in the market place for over 50 years, being a market leader in the cooking nuts category and remaining a heritage brand.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Company’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary/business at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing.

Brand names

Brand names are measured at cost. Directors are of the view that brand names have an indefinite life. Brand names are therefore not depreciated. Instead, brand names are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired, and are carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Permanent water rights

Permanent water rights are recorded at historical cost. Such rights have an indefinite life, and are not depreciated. As an integral component of the land and irrigation infrastructure required to grow almonds, the carrying value is tested annually for impairment. If events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, the carrying value is adjusted to take account of any impairment losses.

The Company had completed an assessment of these rights, currently at a historical cost value of $35.8 million (30 June 2018: $31.7 million), based on current market rates and has determined a comparable value of $56.3 million (30 June 2018: $51.6 million).

Impairment of assets

Goodwill and other Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units).

Notes to the Financial Statements

13. INTANGIBLES (continued)

(a) Impairment tests for goodwill and brand names

Goodwill is allocated to the Company’s cash-generating units (CGU) identified according to operating segment. The total value of goodwill and brand names relates to the Food Products CGU. The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations which require the use of assumptions. These calculations use cash flow forecasts based on financial projections by management covering a five year period based on growth rates taking into account past performance and its expectations for the future.

As impairment test is conducted annually and after assessing indicators for any impairment, management is satisfied that impairment testing was not required at 30 September 2018. The latest impairment test was performed for 30 June 2018 with the assumptions made including new product development, enhanced marketing and market penetration and the exiting of lower margin business will improve EBIT over the forecast period. Cash flow projections beyond the five year period are not extrapolated, but a terminal value with a nil growth rate is included in the calculations. A real pre-tax weighted average cost of capital of 11.1% was used to discount the cash flow projections. No material changes in key assumptions arose during the period.

(b) Impact of possible changes to key assumptions

The recoverable amount of the goodwill and brand names in the Food Division exceeds the carrying amount of goodwill at 30 September 2018 and 30 June 2018. Based on impairment testing performed at 30 June 2018, a decrease of 10% in the projected annual cash flows, or an increase of 1% in the pre-tax discount rate of 11.1% does not result in an impairment of the goodwill and brand names. These changes would be considered reasonably possible changes to the key assumptions.

(c) Permanent water rights

The value of permanent water rights relates to the Almond Division Cash Generating Unit (CGU) and is an integral part of land and irrigation infrastructures required to grow almond orchards. The fair value of permanent water rights is supported by the tradeable market value, which at current market prices is in excess of book value.

Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. All other borrowing costs, inclusive of all facility fees, bank charges, and interest, are expensed as incurred.

(a) Security

Details of the security relating to each of the secured liabilities and further information on the bank overdrafts and bank facilities are set out in 15(c).

Finance lease is secured with plant and equipment and bearer plants with various leasing companies and First State Super respectively.

(b) Interest rate risk exposures

Details of the Company’s exposure to interest rate changes on borrowings are set out in Note 3.

(c) Assets pledged as security

The bank overdraft and debt facilities of the parent entity and subsidiaries are secured by the following:

  • (i) A registered mortgage debenture is held as security over all the assets and undertakings of Select Harvests Limited and the entities of the wholly owned group.

  • (ii) A deed of cross guarantee exists between the entities of the wholly owned group.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount has been reliably estimated.

Employee benefits

(i) Short-term obligations:

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

The liability for annual leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables.

(ii) Other long-term benefit obligations

The liability for long service leave and annual leave which is not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Contributions are made by the Company to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as expenses when incurred.

(c) Performance Rights

Long Term Incentive Plan

The Company offered employee participation in long term incentive schemes as part of the remuneration packages for the employees. In determining the quantum of rights offered the board considers a number of factors including: the corporate strategy; the appropriate mix of fixed and at risk remuneration; the fair value and face value of the rights; and the market relativity of employees with equivalent responsibilities.

The long term scheme involves the issue of performance rights to the employee, under the Long Term Incentive Plan. The market value of ordinary Select Harvests Limited shares closed at $5.32 on 30 September 2018 ($6.90 on 30 June 2018).

(d) Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held.

On a show of hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote.

(e) Capital risk management

The group’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 to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

25. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

Long Term Incentive Plan

The Group offers executive directors and senior executives the opportunity to participate in the long term incentive plan (LTI Plan) involving the issue of performance rights to the employee under the LTI Plan. The LTI Plan provides for the offer of a parcel of performance rights with a three year performance period to participating employees on an annual basis. One third of the rights vesting each year, with half of the rights vesting upon achievement of underlying earnings per share (EPS) Cummulative Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) targets and the other half vesting upon achievement of total shareholder return (TSR) targets. The underlying EPS growth targets are based on the CAGR of the company’s underlying EPS over the three years prior to vesting. The TSR targets are measured based on the company’s average TSR compared to the TSR of a peer group of ASX listed companies over the three years prior to vesting. The performance targets and vesting proportions are as follows:

Fair value of performance rights granted

The assessed fair value at grant date is determined using a Monte Carlo option pricing model that takes into account the term of the rights, the impact of dilution, the share price at offer date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the right.

The model inputs for rights granted in the tables above included:

  • Expected share price volatility was calculated with reference to the annualised standard deviation of daily share price returns on the underlying security over a specified period.

Performance rights granted under employee long term incentive plan

Share-based payments

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Select Harvests Limited Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP).

The fair value of performance rights granted under the Select Harvests Limited LTIP is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the performance rights. The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a Monte Carlo option pricing model that takes into account the term of the right, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the right. The fair value of the performance rights granted is adjusted to reflect market vesting conditions, but excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of rights that are expected to vest. At each balance sheet date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of rights that are expected to vest. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. The impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, is recognised in the income statement with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

(b) Tax consolidation legislation

Select Harvests Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation as of 1 July 2003. The head entity, Select Harvests Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a standalone taxpayer in its own right. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Select Harvests Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.

The entities have also entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly-owned entities fully compensate Select Harvests Limited for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated by Select Harvests Limited for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Select Harvests Limited under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the wholly-owned entities' financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements

27. PARENT ENTITY FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

The amounts receivable/payable under the tax funding agreement is due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head entity, which is issued as soon as practicable after the end of each financial year.

The head entity may also require payment of interim funding amounts to assist with its obligations to pay tax instalments. The funding amounts are recognised as current intercompany receivables or payables.

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as current amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the group.

Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-owned tax consolidated entities.

(c) Guarantees entered into by parent entity

Each entity within the consolidated group has entered into a cross deed of financial guarantee in respect of bank overdrafts and loans of the group.

Loans are made by Select Harvests Limited to controlled entities under normal terms and conditions.

Our audit approach

An audit is designed to provide reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report.

We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an opinion on the financial report as a whole, taking into account the geographic and management structure of the Group, its accounting processes and controls and the industry in which it operates.

uplift recognised for the 2019 crop in the statement of comprehensive income during the current reporting period, therefore, PBT is not the relevant benchmark for determining materiality.

  • We selected a 1% threshold based on our professional judgement, noting it is within the range of commonly acceptable thresholds.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report for the current period. The key audit matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Further, any commentary on the outcomes of a particular audit procedure is made in that context.

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Inventory valuation – almond crop We performed a number of audit procedures in relation Refer to Critical accounting estimates and judgements to the Group’s valuation of the almond crop, including in note 2 to the financial report the following:

The current period almond crop is classified by the Group as a biological asset. Australian Accounting Standards require agriculture produce (such as almonds) from an entity’s biological assets to be measured at fair value less costs to sell, at the point of harvest.

As outlined in Note 2 – Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements, due to the early stage of the 2019 crop growing cycle, management does not have the information available to reliably estimate its fair value at 30 September 2018. AASB 141 Agriculture allows the use of cost as an approximation of fair value when little biological transformation has taken place since initial cost incurrence.

  • Evaluated the Group’s conclusion not to recognise the fair value of its 2019 crop against the applicable accounting framework.

  • Tested the costs capitalised into the almond crop during the period 1 July 2018 to 30 September 2018.

We also evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures made in note 2 and 10.

We believe this was a key audit matter because of the significance of this judgement upon the Group’s assets, liabilities and net profit.

Key audit matter

Accounting for bearer plants Refer to note 12 to the financial report

The Group accounts for its Almond trees as Property, Plant and Equipment, to be recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Under applicable accounting standards, the Group capitalises growing and leasing costs proportionate to maturity up to 7 years, when trees are deemed to reach a mature commercial state. It is from this point that depreciation would commence on a ‘units of production’ method, reflecting the commencement of the revenue stream from the trees. Depreciation is charged over 10 to 30 years depending on the maturity of the bearer plant.

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

We performed a number of audit procedures in relation to the Group’s accounting for bearer plants, including the following:

  • Tested the amount and nature of a sample of growing costs capitalised during the period to supporting purchase documentation for trees with a maturity of up to 7 years old.

  • Evaluated the Group’s useful life assessment, maturity of trees and yield profile assumptions applied in the units of production method for depreciation against historical experience.

We also evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures made in note 12.

At 30 September 2018, a carrying value of $117.7m of Property Plant and Equipment related to trees against which depreciation of $1.5m was charged during the period.

This was a key audit matter due to the significance of the net book value to the Group’s balance sheet, estimates and judgements regarding capitalisation and depreciation, and complexities in accounting for leasing arrangements.

Carrying value of intangible assets

Refer to Critical accounting estimates and judgements in note 2 and note 13 to the financial report

As required by Australian Accounting Standards, the Group tests annually whether goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life have suffered any impairment. Impairment is recognised where the estimated recoverable amount for each division is less than the carrying amount of the division’s intangible assets.

The Food Division has goodwill and brand names of $29m. The recoverable amount of the Food Division is estimated by the Group using a value-in-use discounted cash flow model (the model). In accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets goodwill and intangible

We performed a number of audit procedures in relation to the Group’s assessment of the carrying value of intangible assets, including the following:

  • Evaluated the Group’s assessment of whether indicators of impairment exist with reference to current period results, external industry information and market data. This included a comparison of the actual results for the period ended 30 September 2018 with the budget.

  • Compared the carrying amount of the permanent water rights to the tradeable market value.

We evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures made in note 2 and 13.

77

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

assets with an indefinite useful life are tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment might be probable. The latest test was performed at 30 June 2018. The Group concluded that no indicators of impairment existed as at 30 September 2018.

The Almond Division has permanent water rights assets held at cost of $35.8m. The recoverable amount of permanent water rights related to the Almond Division is based on the current tradable market value of the rights.

This was a key audit matter due to the significant carrying value of the Group’s intangible non-current assets which are subject to the significant judgements and assumptions outlined above in determining whether any impairment of value has occurred.

Borrowings

Refer to note 15 in the financial report

There are external borrowings on the balance sheet at 30 September 2018 of $30.4m.

Given the financial significance of the borrowings balance, requirements to operate within specified covenants, the cyclical and somewhat unpredictable financing demands of the business and the importance of capital for continued growth in support of the Group’s strategy, the accounting for the Group’s borrowings was considered a key audit matter.

Capital projects

Refer to Critical accounting estimates and judgements in note 2 and reconciliation of the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment in note 12 to the financial report

The Group has a capital works in progress balance of $40.3m as at 30 September 2018. The most significant capital project within this balance is Project H2E (Hull to Energy) of $21.8m – this is a Biomass Cogeneration Power Plant Project that will use almond hull and shell

We obtained confirmations directly from the Group’s banks to confirm the borrowings’ balance, tenure and conditions.

We read the most up-to-date agreements between the Group and its lenders to develop an understanding of the terms associated with the facilities and the amount of facility available for drawdown.

We evaluated whether the debt was classified in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and we also evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures made in note 1(a) and note 15.

We performed a number of audit procedures in relation to the Group’s capital projects, including the following:

  • Compared, on a sample basis, costs incurred to supporting documentation and checked amounts were appropriately capitalised.

  • In respect of Project H2E, we considered changes in key assumptions such as electricity, potash and hull price assumptions, and agreed these assumptions to external market

as a fuel source for generating electricity and steam directly to the Group’s Carina West manufacturing site. In accordance with the Group’s accounting policies, the Group capitalises costs up to the commissioning date of each project and then the costs will be depreciated over the useful life of the asset.

The Group analysed additional capital costs and changes in key assumptions compared to FY2018 and concluded that there was no impairment of the projects included in the capital work in progress balance.

We also evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures made in note 2 and 12.

This was a key audit matter due to the financial significance of capital expenditure made by the Group, the number of judgements and assumptions required in determining the related cash flows of each project, delays in the completion of Project H2E from initial estimates and forecast expenditure for Project H2E that have exceeded initial estimates.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report for the period 1 July 2018 to 30 September 2018, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Prior to the date of this auditor's report, the other information we obtained included the Director’s Report and ASX Additional Information. We expect the remaining other information to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express an opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

79

==> picture [77 x 59] intentionally omitted <==

When we read the other information not yet received, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the directors and use our professional judgement to determine the appropriate action to take.

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the 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 financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report.
