EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN ADDRESS
Dear Shareholder,
After a full year of operations in the new Covid-driven economy, I am pleased to report that our business has adapted well. While the pandemic continues to have a significant effect on the broader economy, not least due to its unpredictability, we have developed routine measures and responses to manage the ever-changing external environment and can adapt our operations quickly and efficiently to ensure that business continuity is maintained via a well-connected workforce.
Our turnaround after significant restructuring and divestments over FY20 is most apparent in our financial performance with a number of metrics returning to a strong surplus. After tax profit from continuing operations increased to $1.74 million compared with the FY20 loss of $1.21 million. This represents a $2.95 million turnaround. Similarly, EBITDA turned around from a loss of $0.38 million in FY20 compared with positive $2.00 million in FY21. Revenue was up by 34% to $35.60 million and our order book continues to hit new records, currently sitting at $26 million.
Several years ago, the Board revised the strategy, establishing a timeframe and set of measures to improve operating performance. The four cornerstones developed to meet the challenges of the next five years were a linear progression of Restructure and Consolidation, Core Business Growth, Technology Expansion, and Technology Growth. Essentially our strategy espouses sequences of growth and consolidation so that we grow at a rate that enables us to capture the full gain of that growth and deliver excellence to our customers. Two of these cornerstones have been achieved and much has been explained about the activities that underpinned it in past shareholder communications.
In 2021, we focussed on growing the business, both organically and by acquisition. In the second half, we acquired the assets and ongoing business of APEC Technologies to expand capability and capacity. Based in Victoria, APEC Technologies offers fibre networking, communications and electrical solutions to a bluechip client base spread across Australia with a similar footprint to that of SKS Technologies in both the private and public sectors. Our rationale for this acquisition rests on the complementary nature of the two
businesses and the expectation that the integrated business will generate annualised revenue of $60 million. Our work in hand position reached a record $26 million by the end of June 2021.
Effective February this year, the Board appointed Chief Operating Officer, Matthew Jinks to the position of Chief Executive Officer, Matthew brings a valuable combination of both practical and technical experience as well as strong financial acumen, strategic insight and people management skills that render him an effective leader. He was instrumental in the implementation of the wholesale business restructure that has set us up so well today to enable the growth that we are now pursuing. Since taking the reins, Matthew has presided over the two acquisitions and has a clear vision for the business. I remain as Chair and look forward to working with Matthew and the Board as we continue to grow SKS Technologies. In addition, we also announced the change of our name from Enevis to SKS Technologies in November 2020. It was a logical move given we had divested our less attractive business units for the purposes of investing all our resources into the most attractive business, SKS Technologies.
The future is always difficult to predict, but never more so than now, in an era where we add global pandemics to the raft of phenomena impacting economies. However, I can confidently say that SKS Technologies has a growth strategy mapped out and underway, and we will continue to evaluate everything we do against that strategy. More recently we were excited to announce the acquisition of Integrated Solutions Group Queensland. This acquisition executes on the next phase of our strategy. There may be times where circumstances require us to reassess the tactics that sit under that strategy, and to review our plans, but the priorities will

==> picture [596 x 307] intentionally omitted <==

MMC, Adelaide
----- End of picture text -----
remain growth and operating efficiency, and a relentless focus on capturing the gains from our acquisitions.
This year, more than ever, I extend my thanks and appreciation on behalf of the Board to all of our staff. They have shown resilience and innovation in the way they have performed their roles and continued to act as a team, albeit often from disparate locations. They have adapted with great speed to the new post-Covid means of transacting business, and I believe the interruptions to our business over the last eighteen months have been managed in the most optimal way possible.
Our thanks must also be conveyed to our shareholders for their continued support in challenging times, and also to our customers and suppliers with whom we have strong relationships that have enabled us to determine together the most advantageous approaches to the challenges emerging from a marketplace affected by the pandemic.
With a business that is now on solid foundations, pursuing and achieving strong growth via acquisition as well as organically, I look forward to the current year and to building on the step that comes after the turnaround – growth. We certainly have some exciting opportunities in front of us and I believe we have the right team and expertise to deliver excellence in everything we do. I look forward to keeping you all updated.

Executive Chairman Address
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS REPORT
It is with great pleasure that I write this operational review after being appointed to the role of Chief Executive Officer in February of this year. SKS Technologies is in an exciting time in its journey, and I look forward to leading the Company through the next phase of growth and beyond.
There has been a heightened level of speculation about the impact on global and local economies since the onset of the pandemic some 18 months ago, and an unprecedented ongoing level of uncertainty has prevailed that has forced businesses, large and small, to reflect on the optimum operational practices to preserve earnings levels. I am pleased to note that after two years of restructuring to bring our company back to core operations and capitalise on what we do best, SKS Technologies demonstrated its ability to withstand these tough times, with a positive performance as measured by a number of benchmarks.
Since the emergence of Covid-19 in March 2020, we have divested and acquired businesses to realise our strategy to focus on core operations and grow into complementary fields. We have grown our work on hand position to an unprecedented level and we have achieved a 34% growth in revenue, partly due to the APEC acquisition but to a greater extent organically. Despite border restrictions and lockdowns continuing to throw up challenges, often at short notice, we have continued to deliver projects and services to our clients with the support of our suppliers and employees. We are confident that our business can continue to manage the pandemic fallout and have adapted our operations to accommodate these changed trading conditions.
Financial Performance
In May this year, we forecast a 25% increase in revenue, taking into account the revenue contribution from the APEC acquisition, and a $2.4 million turnaround in net profit after tax. I am pleased to report that, in fact, we outperformed those forecasts, achieving a 34% increase in revenue and a $2.95 million turnaround in profit after tax from continuing operations. Sales revenue was $35.60 million compared with $26.55 million in FY20, while EBITDA from continuing operations was $2.00 million compared with a loss of $0.38 million in FY20, a $2.38 million turnaround.
Cash flow from operations showed another significant turnaround of $1.55 million, from a loss of $0.12 million in FY20 to a surplus of $1.43 million in FY21.
The company also has a $3 million working capital facility that was undrawn at year end, no long-term borrowings and a record $26 million of work on hand.
The turnaround of so many financial metrics validates our strategy to restructure the business, selling nonperforming assets and removing the need to carry inventory, and concentrate on growing the operations that are profitable. Our FY21 financial performance was also achieved with the ongoing backdrop of economic uncertainty and the disruption of snap lockdowns and border restrictions, demonstrating an underlying resilience that bodes well for our current growth aspirations.
Operational Performance
2021 was a year of growth for SKS Technologies. We began the year with the finalisation of our wholesale restructuring program as we settled the sale of the commercial lighting business and then focused all of our resources on the organic and acquisitive growth of the remaining core operations. Given the divestment of non-performing, non-core businesses, it made sense to rebrand our organisation to align with the remaining core operations brand of SKS Technologies (ASX: SKS).
In March we announced the acquisition of the assets and ongoing business of APEC Technologies Group under a 100% scrip arrangement. APEC Technologies is a provider of fibre networking, communications and electrical solutions nationally to a blue-chip client base across the breadth of sectors. The rationale for the acquisition rests on growing capacity as well as capability and combining these businesses was an obvious expansion for our business given the similarities in client bases and service offerings. The acquisition strengthened our workforce capacity and capability in providing innovative technical solutions, including converged fibre networks for smart buildings, on a larger range of projects combined with the scale economies that come with a more efficient business structure. It also secured a platform to leverage and build long-term recurring revenue streams.

Integration and operation under the SKS Technologies brand was achieved before year-end with the entire business moving to new premises in Melbourne in June. The consolidation of three properties into one location brings operating efficiencies as well as greater employee connection and collaboration.
Our work on hand is probably the greatest measure of the hard work we have undertaken to turn the business around and being able to grow our remaining profitable operations. At 30 June last year, work on hand stood at $7.1 million. With the inclusion of APEC’s $10 million contribution and continued organic growth in the existing business, it reached $26 million at 30 June this year, representing a 266% increase over the 12 months. We began this year with an order book that is almost four times larger than at the same time last year, which is a significant achievement. Some major projects commenced during the period include works associated with the Victorian Government’s Youth Justice Centre, the Australian Federal Police’s new Victorian headquarters in Melbourne, a large distribution centre for Australia Post, the refurbishment of the Adelaide Railway Station and Thiess’s new head office in Brisbane.
customers in proceeding with large investment decisions and over the past year and a half we have seen some projects at best delayed and occasionally abandoned. However, given the ongoing nature of this this uncertain landscape, the business has adapted well. While many organisations reduced wages or delayed the reinstatement of their full workforces in response to the pandemic lockdowns, with the assistance of the Federal Government’s temporary JobKeeper subsidies, all of our employees remained in full time employment. Consequently, our business did not face the shortages in skills and workforce capacity encountered by many businesses as they have sought to upscale each time lockdowns are lifted and restrictions are eased.
Overall, the business has managed the challenges of Covid adeptly, maintaining customer relationships and forging ahead with its sales and marketing plans. The ongoing uncertainty, with snap lockdowns and border restrictions, has resulted in some reticence from

People and Culture
Over the year, our employee numbers have doubled, with half of that increase flowing from the APEC acquisition and the remainder recruited to deliver a heightened project load that has resulted from our concentrated sales and marketing effort to achieve our organic growth targets. With a record quantum of work on hand, we have expanded our team from 100 employees to approximately 200 employees at year end. As such, we are conscious of the management changes that come with growth, carefully structuring our teams so that we deliver projects and services as efficiently as possible and with a workforce that is committed and connected. Equally, since the onset of Covid, we have instituted a raft of internal communication protocols to ensure that we have a technologically connected workforce where each individual understands his or her role and is committed to fulfilling it to maximum effect.
We have also been fortunate enough to have been able to grow our team with people we have worked on projects with previously. This past experience of each other means that the people we choose are culturally aligned with the SKS Technologies values, protocols and standards and helps to grow a homogeneous and effective workforce.
As a testament to our professionalism and the way in which we engage and manage people, our business was voted the ‘Best Place to Work in AV’ by international peak body for the audio-visual sector, PSNI Global Alliance. PSNI operates from 205 offices across 50 countries in 6 continents and each year conducts surveys relating to industry topics, one of those being employee satisfaction.
While this is a great achievement, we still have a firm focus on our social responsibility, particularly in terms of building a workplace that is diverse in gender and cultural origin. Our team continues to build awareness in the organisation of the importance of diversity, tolerance and inclusiveness.
Most importantly, I would like to recognise the dedication of our employees in getting up every morning and continuing to keep the wheels turning on our organisation. They have persevered in pursuing new work, whilst undertaking existing work as well as planning for a future that cannot be predicted with anything close to the level of expectation that we have enjoyed in the past. SKS Technologies is fortunate to have such a cohesive body of individual creativity to steer it through these unprecedented times.
Sustainability
As a supplier to the construction sector, we are required as a minimum to comply with stringent health and safety standards across our operations. However, in our organisation, these requirements are the baseline. Over the years, we have built a comprehensive safety regime of processes and protocols and our safety performance has been excellent. We are currently in the process of digitising those processes and protocols via an app that eliminates paper resources and is easily available on phones and tablets. The process is a far more efficient means of sharing information and collecting acknowledgement signatures, and it also acts as a Covid control measure by preventing people from sharing physical documents. It will be rolled out first at our South Australian operations and then progressively to the remainder of the business.
SKS Technologies is also proactive in managing and recycling its waste with a raft of policies and practices designed to minimise its carbon footprint that include responsible means of recycling the substantial packaging that protects many of its products through special purpose recycling plants.
Strategy
In this new phase of our business, our strategy is to drive higher margins under a recurring revenue model by leveraging the convergence of Audio Visual (AV) and Information Technology (IT) networks. Having restructured and grown the business, both organically and via acquisition, we are now in a strong position to acquire supplementary capabilities that complement our existing skills and customer offering. This broadening of skills extends to those which we are currently closely associated with on most of our projects.

Mosaic, Brisbane
----- End of picture text -----
Bringing those skills and expertise in-house is a logical and compelling extension of what we already offer our customers. The ability to offer an integrated AV and IT solution opens up many more opportunities and enables us to stay abreast of a market that is rapidly evolving. The future for our business lies in capitalising on supporting our customers effectively executing on their digital transformational strategies and we intend to build capability and capacity to service future demand and target larger opportunities across multiple industry sectors.
We take a very disciplined approach to identifying and assessing acquisition targets with rigorous evaluation criteria that includes, no or low debt, no inventory, adequate working capital, high margins, recurring revenue opportunities and a strong and clear growth trajectory.
The Future
The acquisitions of APEC Technologies and more recently Integrated Solutions Group Queensland enhance the Company’s capability to leverage a larger trend which has seen digital technologies become essential to the way companies and individuals are operating and communicating.
SKS Technologies has now built a strong foundation and is well positioned to continue its growth into the managed AV and IT integrated solutions space to take advantage of our existing expertise and build a strong recurring revenue model to diversify income streams.
With a continued focus on rigorous cost control and extracting maximum synergies from our acquisitions, SKS Technologies will continue to identify and analyse opportunistic acquisition targets that can be easily and efficiently integrated into its existing operations to build scale and market reach.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
OPERATING RESULTS
Full year sales slightly increased with group’s current year trading revenue (including discontinued operations) of $36,299,131 by 0.3% on the $36,173,248 in the previous corresponding period. Full year sales for continuing operations grew with group trading revenues to $35,599,216 up 34% on the $26,551,125 in the previous corresponding period. The consolidated group made a profit after tax of $2,166,463 for the year ended 30 June 2021 compared to a loss of $4,989,287 in the previous corresponding period.
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
The sales in SKS Technologies Pty Ltd (our audio visual and electrical division) continues to grow following the acquisition of the business of APEC Technologies Group (APEC) despite the interruption of Covid 19 with increasing brand recognition and service delivery capability. The operation in South Australia has continued to exceed expectations. The work in hand, pipeline of opportunities, as well as the size of opportunities, remains favourable across the regions in which the company operates.
On 7 August 2020 the Group completed the sale of the Commercial Lighting business.
On 31 March 2021 the Group completed the acquisition of APEC Technologies Group.
The Group has forgiven all the outstanding intercompany loans of discontinued operations amounting to $ 4,486,337. This intercompany loan forgiveness has created a gain of $4,486,337 under discontinued operations and a loss of $4,486,337 under continued operations. This gain and loss have been eliminated in the group consolidated financial statements in order to preserve the presentation of actual operational outcome between the continued and discontinued operations during the period ended 30 June 2021.
The Group will continue to focus the business on its core product and services offering of Audio Visual, IT, Electrical and Communications following the exit of the lighting business in August 2020.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE
In November 2020 the Group executed an unmarketable share parcel buy back of $13,083 with 130,834 number of ordinary shares.
In May 2021 the Group issued $1.4 million ordinary shares (gross of costs) as consideration for the APEC Technologies Group (APEC) Acquisition.
WORKING CAPITAL AND CASHFLOWS FROM OPERATIONS
The Group produced positive cash flow from operations for the year of $1,430,047 compared to ($122,970) in the corresponding period. The Group remains in an expansion phase with revenue growth of 34% (as outlined above) in continuing operations with further growth forecasted.
The group has a clear focus to achieve a positive cashflow outcome from operations in the year ahead.
LEGAL MATTERS
The Group currently has no legal matters
EMPLOYEES
The group now employs highly qualified 194 effective fulltime employees across five states and is well placed to take advantage of growth opportunities as they arise. The group has continued to invest in expanding its presence in South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The principal business activity of SKS Technologies Group Limited is design, supply and installation of audio visual, electrical and communication IT products and services. The Group sold its commercial lighting business in August 2020 and acquired APEC Technologies Group business in March 2021.
OUTLOOK
Following the exit of the lighting businesses the Group is now well placed to capitalise on the opportunities that exists with advancement of converged AV and IT networks and leveraging managed AV and IT integrated solutions. The strategic focus on expanding services and driving scale will generate future shareholder value while advancing the portfolio spread and increasing recurring revenue at higher margins within the audio visual, IT, electrical and communications sector on a national basis.
The expansion of the audio visual (AV) electrical and communication business has been slowed by Covid 19 in the first half however the Group has won and completed a number of projects in the year with a high level of repeat customers and has a mix of opportunities in the pipeline, both large and small. The group will look to take further advantage of its national presence during the following year and take advantage of acquisition opportunities that may arise in the current environment.
The Group commences the year ahead with record work in hand, with a greater than ever interest and need in audio visual and video conferencing services. There are

all non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by SKS Technologies Group Limited and have been reviewed and approved by the board of Directors to ensure they do not impact on the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
-
The non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for SKS Technologies Group Limited or any of its related entities, acting as an advocate for SKS Technologies Group Limited or any of its related entities, or jointly sharing risks and rewards in relation to the operations or activities of SKS Technologies Group Limited or any of its related entities.

Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity 31
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies adopted by the group in the preparation and presentation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
(A) BASIS OF PREPARATION
This financial report is a general-purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards, Interpretations and other applicable authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB).
The financial report covers SKS Technologies Group Limited and controlled entities as a group. SKS Technologies Group Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The address of SKS Technologies Group Limited’s registered office and principal place of business is 700 Spencer Street, West Melbourne. SKS Technologies Group Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial report.
The financial report of SKS Technologies Group Limited for the year ended 30 June 2021 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 27 August 2021.
Compliance with IFRS
The consolidated financial statements of SKS Technologies Group Limited also comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Historical cost convention
The financial report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by revaluations to fair value for certain classes of assets as described in the accounting policies.
Fair value measurement
For financial reporting purposes, ‘fair value’ is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants (under current market conditions) at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.
When estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, the entity uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are
available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are categorised into three levels according to the extent to which the inputs are observable:
• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
• Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
Significant accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial report requires the use of certain estimates and judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies. Those estimates and judgements significant to the financial report are disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.
(B) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements are those of the consolidated entity (“the group”), comprising the financial statements of the parent entity and all of the entities the parent controls. The group controls an entity where it has the power, for which the parent has exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity, and for which the parent has the ability to use its power over the entity to affect the amount of its returns.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies which may exist.
All inter group balances and transactions, including any unrealised profits or losses have been eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the group and are de recognised from the date that control ceases.
Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the group are presented as non-controlling interests. Non-controlling interests are initially recognised either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets. This decision is made on an acquisition by acquisition basis. Noncontrolling interests in the results of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and
32 SKS Technologies | 2021 Full Year Report
other comprehensive income and the statement of financial position respectively.
(C) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
A business combination is a transaction or other event in which an acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses and results in the consolidation of the assets and liabilities acquired. Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree. Deferred consideration payable is measured at its acquisition date fair value. Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition date fair value. At each reporting date subsequent to the acquisition, contingent consideration payable is measured at its fair value with any changes in the fair value recognised in profit or loss unless the contingent consideration is classified as equity, in which case the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition date fair value.
Goodwill is initially recognised at an amount equal to the excess of: (a) the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non controlling interest, and the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest (in the case of a step acquisition); over (b) the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. For accounting purposes, such measurement is treated as the cost of goodwill at that date.
If the net fair value of the acquirer’s interest in the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is greater than the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non controlling interest, and the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest, the difference is immediately recognised as a gain in profit or loss.
Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred.
(D) INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identifiable or separately recognised. Goodwill is initially recognised at an amount equal to the excess of: (a) the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of any noncontrolling interest, and the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest (in the case of a step acquisition); over (b) the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. For accounting purposes, such measurement is treated as the cost of goodwill at that date.
annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Separately acquired Intangible assets
Except for indefinite useful life intangible assets, which are not amortised but are tested annually for impairment, separately acquired intangible assets are recognised at cost and amortised over their estimated useful lives commencing from the time the asset is available for use. The amortisation method applied to an intangible asset is consistent with the estimated consumption of economic benefits of the asset. Subsequent to initial recognition, separately acquired intangible assets are measured at cost, less accumulated amortisation (where applicable) and any accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible Assets Acquired in a Business Combination
Intangibles acquired in a business combination are initially recognised at fair value (which, for accounting purposes, is treated as the cost of the intangible asset), and are subsequently amortised over their estimated useful lives commencing from the time the asset is available for use. The amortisation method applied to an intangible asset is consistent with the estimated consumption of economic benefits of the asset. Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at cost, less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
IT software development costs
Costs incurred in developing IT software are initially recognised as an asset and are subsequently amortised over their estimated useful lives commencing from the time the asset is available for use. The amortisation method applied to an intangible asset is consistent with the estimated consumption of economic benefits of the asset. Subsequent to initial recognition, IT software development costs recognised as an intangible asset are measured at cost, less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
(E) GOING CONCERN
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The group incurred a profit of $2,166,463 during the year ended 30 June 2021 (year ended 30 June 2020 loss of $4,989,287), and as at that date, the group’s net asset position was $1,819,524 (30 June 2020: net asset deficiency $1,774,336). The working capital position as at 30 June 2021 has a deficiency of current assets over current liabilities of $1,282,878 (30 June 2020: $1,490,987).
Goodwill is not amortised, but is tested for impairment
Notes to the Financial Statements 33
The group produced positive cash flows from operating activities for the year ended 30 June 2021 of $1,430,047 (30 June 2020: negative cashflow of $122,970). The ability of the group to continue as a going concern is reliant on generating profits, improving cash flows from operating activities, managing debt levels, and the management of cash flows within the group’s funding facilities.
Notwithstanding the above, the directors believe the going concern basis is appropriate due to the following factors:
• The group has prepared forward budget and cash flow projections which are based on increasing revenues from the expanding audio-visual products and solutions, electrical and communication services which support improving cashflows from operating activities.
• The group has also assessed alternative cash flow projections based on its ability to manage and reduce costs in the event that was required, and these alternatives show that it is feasible for the group to enact reductions in sufficient time if required.
• The group has signed a binding share sale agreement with Integrated Solutions Group Queensland Pty Ltd which is forecasted to produce both positive profits and cashflows. As part of the sale agreement the business will have positive working capital of approximately $500,000. The cash component of the purchase will be financed by long term debt from our current financiers.
• The group anticipates entering into a finance for leasehold improvements to its new place of business 700 Spencer Street west Melbourne, which will improve working capital approximately by $400,000.
• The group continues to comply with the agreement with the Australian Taxation Office for an orderly repayment of the R&D tax payable which enables the group to manage repayment of this debt. Broadly, this comprises repayment by instalments over a three (3) year timeframe ending August 2023.
• The group has the ongoing support of its Debtor Financiers and at the date of this report is operating comfortably within the limits of the facility.
Based on the above the directors believe that the group will continue as a going concern over the next 12 months and consequently will realise assets and settle liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
If the going concern basis of accounting is found to no longer be appropriate, the recoverable amounts of the assets shown in the consolidated statement of financial position are likely to be significantly less than the amounts disclosed and the extent of the liabilities may differ significantly from those reflected in the consolidated statement of financial position.
(F) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the entity commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified as fair value through profit or loss, in which case transaction costs are immediately recognised as expenses in profit or loss.
Classification of financial assets
Financial assets recognised by the group are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, subject to their classification and whether the group irrevocably designates the financial asset on initial recognition at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVtOCI) in accordance with the relevant criteria in AASB 9.
Financial assets not irrevocably designated on initial recognition at FVtOCI are classified as subsequently measured at amortised cost, FVtOCI or fair value through profit or loss (FVtPL) on the basis of both:
-
a. the group’s business model for managing the financial assets; and
-
b. the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Classification of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities classified as held-for-trading, contingent consideration payable by the group for the acquisition of a business, and financial liabilities designated at FVtPL, are subsequently measured at fair value.
All other financial liabilities recognised by the group are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables arise from the group’s transactions with its customers and are normally settled within 30 days.
Consistent with both the group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the assets, trade and other receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Impairment of financial assets
The following financial assets are tested for impairment by applying the ‘expected credit loss’ impairment model:
34 SKS Technologies | 2021 Full Year Report
-
a. debt instruments measured at amortised cost;
-
b. debt instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income; and
-
c. receivables from contracts with customers and contract assets.
The group applies the simplified approach under AASB 9 to measuring the allowance for credit losses for both receivables from contracts with customers and contract assets. Under the AASB 9 simplified approach, the group determines the allowance for credit losses for receivables from contracts with customers and contract assets on the basis of the lifetime expected credit losses of the financial asset. Lifetime expected credit losses represent the expected credit losses that are expected to result from default events over the expected life of the financial asset.
For all other financial assets subject to impairment testing, when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since the initial recognition of the financial asset, the allowance for credit losses is recognised on the basis of the lifetime expected credit losses. When there has not been an increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the allowance for credit losses is recognised on the basis of 12-month expected credit losses. ’12-month expected credit losses’ is the portion of lifetime expected credit losses that represent the expected credit losses that result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date.
The group consider a range of information when assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. This includes such factors as the identification of significant changes in external market indicators of credit risk, significant adverse changes in the financial performance or financial position of the counterparty, significant changes in the value of collateral, and past due information.
The group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition when the financial asset is determined to have a low credit risk at the reporting date. The group considers a financial asset to have a low credit risk when the counterparty is assessed by the group to have a strong financial position and no history of past due amounts from previous transactions with the group.
The group assumes that the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 90 days past due.
The group determines expected credit losses based on individual debtor level expectations relative to credit terms, adjusted for factors that are specific to the
debtor as well as relevant current and future expected economic conditions. When material, the time value of money is incorporated into the measurement of expected credit losses. There has been no change in the estimation techniques or significant assumptions made during the reporting period.
The group has identified contractual payments more than 90 days past due as default events for the purpose of measuring expected credit losses. These default events have been selected based on the group’s historical experience. Because contract assets are directly related to unbilled work in progress, contract assets have a similar credit risk profile to receivables from contracts with customers. Accordingly, the group applies the same approach to measuring expected credit losses of receivables from contracts with customers as it does to measuring impairment losses on contract assets.
The measurement of expected credit losses reflects the group’s ‘expected rate of loss’, which is a product of the probability of default and the loss given default, and its ‘exposure at default’, which is typically the carrying amount of the relevant asset. Expected credit losses are measured as the difference between all contractual cash flows due and all contractual cash flows expected based on the group’s exposure at default, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
Financial assets are regarded as ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events have occurred that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset. Indicators that a financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ include observable data about the following:
-
a. significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
-
b. breach of contract;
-
c. the lender, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, has granted concessions to the borrower that the lender would not otherwise consider; or
-
d. it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (i.e. reduced directly) when the counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and the group has no realistic expectation of recovery of the financial asset. Financial assets written off remain subject to enforcement action by the group. Recoveries, if any, are recognised in profit or loss.
(G) PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated
Notes to the Financial Statements 35
impairment losses.
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis or diminishing value over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:
Plant and equipment: over 3 to 10 years
Motor Vehicles: over 3 to 6 years
Computer Software: over 3 years
Leasehold Improvements: over 6 years
The assets residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.
(H) BORROWING COSTS
Borrowing costs can include interest expense calculated using the effective interest method, finance charges in respect of finance leases, and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.
Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred, except for borrowing costs incurred as part of the cost of the construction of a qualifying asset which are capitalised until the asset is ready for its intended use or sale.
(I) INVENTORIES
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Costs are accounted for as follows:
Raw materials: average purchase cost. The cost of purchase comprises the purchase price, import duties and other taxes, transport, handling and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of raw materials.
Finished goods and work-in-progress: average cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity but excluding borrowing costs.
(J) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at banks, short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less held at call with financial institutions, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
(K) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
(i) Short-term employee benefit obligations
Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries,
annual leave and any other employee benefits (other than termination benefits) expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled.
The expected cost of short-term employee benefits in the form of compensated absences such as annual leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables in the statement of financial position.
(ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The provision for other long-term employee benefits, including obligations for long service leave and annual leave, which are not expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the reporting period, are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of the services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee turnover, and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the terms of the obligations. Any remeasurements for changes in assumptions of obligations for other long-term employee benefits are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the change occurs.
Other long-term employee benefit obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur. All other long-term employee benefit obligations are presented as non-current liabilities in the statement of financial position.
(iii) Termination benefits
The group recognises an obligation and expense for termination benefits at the earlier of: (a) the date when the group can no longer withdraw the offer for termination benefits; and (b) when the group recognises costs for restructuring and the costs include termination benefits. In either case, the obligation and expense for termination benefits is measured on the basis of the best estimate of the number of employees expected to be affected. Termination benefits that are expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the annual reporting period in which the benefits are recognised are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid. All other termination benefits are accounted for on the same basis as other long-term employee benefits.
(iv) Retirement benefit obligations
36 SKS Technologies | 2021 Full Year Report
Defined contribution superannuation plan
The group makes superannuation contributions (currently 9.50% of the employee’s average ordinary salary) to the employee’s defined contribution superannuation plan of choice in respect of employee services rendered during the year. These superannuation contributions are recognised as an expense in the same period when the related employee services are received. The group’s obligation with respect to employee’s defined contributions entitlements is limited to its obligation for any unpaid superannuation guarantee contributions at the end of the reporting period. All obligations for unpaid superannuation guarantee contributions are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled and are presented as current liabilities in the statement of financial position.
(v) Bonus plan
The group recognises a provision when a bonus is payable in accordance with the employee’s contract of employment, and the amount can be reliably measured.
(L) PROVISIONS
Provisions are recognised when the group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result, and that outflow can be reliably measured.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.
(M) LEASES
Accounting policy applied to the information presented under AASB 16 Leases:
At the commencement date of a lease (other than leases of 12-months or less and leases of low value assets), the group recognises a lease asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments.
Lease assets
Lease assets are initially recognised at cost, comprising the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date of the lease, less any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred by the group, and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the group in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories.
Subsequent to initial recognition, lease assets are measured at cost (adjusted for any remeasurement of the associated lease liability), less accumulated
depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss.
Lease assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful life of the underlying asset, consistent with the estimated consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the underlying asset.
Lease liabilities
Lease liabilities are initially recognised at the present value of the future lease payments (i.e., the lease payments that are unpaid at the commencement date of the lease). These lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined, or otherwise using the group’s incremental borrowing rate.
Subsequent to initial recognition, lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments (i.e., the lease payments that are unpaid at the reporting date). Interest expense on lease liabilities is recognised in profit or loss (presented as a component of finance costs). Lease liabilities are remeasured to reflect changes to lease terms, changes to lease payments and any lease modifications not accounted for as separate leases.
Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are recognised as an expense when incurred.
(N) REVENUE
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the customer receives the goods, ownership of the goods have passed and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Ownership is considered to have passed to the buyer at the time of delivery of the goods to the customer.
Revenue from the provision of services is recognised as performance obligations are satisfied over time, via transfer of services to customers, which is measured based on stage of completion.
Certain customers may be invoiced in advance of provision of services and this amount is recognised as a liability until the group provides, and the customer consumes, the benefits of the services.
Interest revenue is recognised when it becomes receivable on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (GST).
(O) INCOME TAX
Current income tax expense or revenue is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for
Notes to the Financial Statements 37
temporary differences at the applicable tax rates when the assets are expected to be recovered or liabilities are settled. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to 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.
Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.
Tax consolidation
SKS Technologies Group Limited (parent entity) and its wholly owned subsidiaries have implemented the tax consolidation legislation and have formed a taxconsolidated group from 30 November 2009. The parent entity and subsidiaries in the tax-consolidated group have entered into a tax funding agreement such that each entity in the tax-consolidated group recognises the assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues in relation to its own transactions, events and balances only.
This means that:
-
the parent entity recognises all current and deferred tax amounts relating to its own transactions, events and balances only;
-
the subsidiaries recognise current or deferred tax amounts arising in respect of their own transactions, events and balances;
-
current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising in respect of tax losses, are transferred from the subsidiary to the head entity as inter-company payables or receivables.
The tax-consolidated group also has a tax sharing agreement in place to limit the liability of subsidiaries in the tax-consolidated group arising under the joint and several liability requirements of the tax consolidation system, in the event of default by the parent entity to meet its payment obligations.
(P) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES
Functional and presentation currency
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the group’s functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and Balances
Transactions undertaken in foreign currencies are recognised in the group’s functional currency, using the
spot rate at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency monetary items that are outstanding at the reporting date (other than monetary items arising under foreign currency contracts where the exchange rate for that monetary item is fixed in the contract) are restated to the spot rate at the reporting date.
All exchange gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.
(Q) GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(R) IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS
Goodwill, intangible assets not yet ready for use and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortisation and are therefore tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired.
For impairment assessment purposes, assets are generally grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely independent cash flows (‘cash generating units’). Accordingly, most assets are tested for impairment at the cash generating unit level. Because it does not generate cash flows independently of other assets or groups of assets, goodwill is allocated to the cash generating unit or units that are expected to benefit from the synergies arising from the business combination that gave rise to the goodwill.
Assets other than goodwill, intangible assets not yet ready for use and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are assessed for impairment whenever events or circumstances arise that indicate the asset may be impaired.
An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds the asset’s or cash generating unit’s recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is defined as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
Impairment losses in respect of individual assets are recognised immediately in profit or loss unless the
38 SKS Technologies | 2021 Full Year Report
asset is measured at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease and is recognised in other comprehensive income, to the extent that it does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for the same asset. Impairment losses in respect of cash generating units are allocated first against the carrying amount of any goodwill attributed to the cash generating unit with any remaining impairment loss allocated on a pro rata basis to the other assets comprising the relevant cash generating unit.
A reversal of an impairment loss for an asset measured at cost is recognised in profit or loss. A reversal of an impairment loss for an asset measured at a revalued amount is treated as a revaluation increase and is recognised in other comprehensive income, except to the extent that an impairment loss on the same asset was previously recognised in profit or loss, in which case a reversal of that impairment loss is also recognised in profit or loss.
(S) NON-CURRENT ASSETS AND DISPOSAL GROUPS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if it is highly probable their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Except in some limited circumstances, such as in the case of deferred tax balances and items measured at fair value on a recurring basis, non-current assets and assets and liabilities comprising disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amounts and fair values less costs to sell.
income.
(U) COMPARATIVE INFORMATION
Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures.
(V) ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS
The group have applied the relief available under ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 and accordingly, the amounts in the consolidated financial statements and in the directors’ report have been rounded to the nearest dollar.
(W) ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE AT 30 JUNE 2021
The AASB has issued a number of new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods, some of which are relevant to the Group. The Group has decided not to early adopt any of these new and amended pronouncements.
(X) NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS EFFECTIVE AT 30 JUNE 2021
The Group has applied all new and revised Australian Accounting Standards that apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2020.
An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of a non-current asset or disposal group held for sale exceeds its fair value less costs to sell and is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Any impairment loss on a disposal group is allocated first to any goodwill attributable to the disposal group, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except for inventories, deferred tax assets and assets otherwise measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Gains are recognised in respect of any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale, but only to the extent of any cumulative impairment losses previously recognised.
(T) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
A discontinued operation is a component of the group that has been disposed of in the current, or prior, reporting period or is classified as held for sale at the reporting date, and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are disclosed separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
Notes to the Financial Statements 39
NOTE 2: CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Certain accounting estimates include assumptions concerning the future, which, by definition, will seldom represent actual results. Estimates and assumptions based on future events have a significant inherent risk, and where future events are not as anticipated there could be a material impact on the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities discussed below:
Estimation of useful lives of assets
The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on historical experience as well as manufacturers’ warranties (for plant and equipment), lease terms (for leased equipment) and turnover policies (for motor vehicles). In addition, the condition of the assets is assessed at least once per year and considered against the remaining useful life. Adjustments to useful life are made when considered necessary. Depreciation charges are included in note 6.
Income Tax
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in the income tax legislation and the anticipation that the group will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences as management considers that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilise those temporary differences. Where management considers tax losses are probable of being recovered from future taxable profits, they are recognised as deferred tax assets.

NOTE 3: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
(a) Significant Accounting Policies
Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which revenues and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements.
(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise bank loans, finance leases and cash. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Group’s operations. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations.
It is the policy of the consolidated entity to regularly review foreign currency exposures. The degree to which the foreign exchange risk is managed will vary depending on circumstances that prevail at the time the risk is known or anticipated. There are no foreign currency contracts outstanding at the reporting date (2020: Nil).
The group hold no financial assets or liabilities at fair value.
Cash flow interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s debt obligations with a floating interest rate. The group monitors its exposure to interest rate risk as part of its capital and cash management. Refer Note 21 (d) for more details.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will not be able to meet its financial obligation as they fall due. The entity’s approach in managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due under both normal and stressed conditions. The entity manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity has adopted the policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining

Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 16: INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED)
Sensitivity of assumptions
If the pre-tax discount rate applied to the cash flow projections had been 5% higher than management estimates, then the Group would not have recognised an impairment loss. Management do not believe there would be a reasonable possible change in any of the key assumptions that would have caused the carrying amount of the assets of the communication & electrical cash-generating unit, including goodwill to exceed its recoverable amount.
Impairment assumptions
Goodwill is allocated to communication & electrical which is the cash generating unit (CGU) for the purpose of impairment testing. The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined based on value in use calculations. These calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets.
