Principal Activities

The principal activity of Sprintex Limited (“Sprintex”) and the entities it controlled for the six months ended 31 December 2015 was the manufacture and distribution of the patented range of Sprintex® superchargers and supercharger systems.

Review and Results of Operations

The Consolidated Entity recorded a decrease in the net loss from $5,146,855 for the half-year period ended 31 December 2014 to $920,714 for the current half-year. Sales for the half-year were $1,026,936 (2014: $291,863) representing an increase of 252%. Gross profit on sales for the half-year ended 31 December 2015 was $223,392, compared to a gross loss of $134,020 for the same period in 2014.

The focus of activities over the past six months has been:

  1. Development of the SPS Performance Series supercharger systems for the Jeep Chrysler models and the Toyota FT86.

  2. Continued expansion and development of the North American market for the Company’s products.

  3. Expansion of the Company’s global footprint into the Middle East and Asia.

  4. Ongoing refinements and improvements to the existing range of supercharger systems, providing improved performance and efficiencies, and improved driveability.

On 10 July 2015 the Company announced that it had secured short term financing of approx. $1m. This financing facility was repaid in full, including interest accrued to date, on 10 December 2015.

On 12 October 2015 the Company announced a 1-for-2 non-renounceable pro rata offer to eligible shareholders at an issue price of $0.001 per new share (the “Offer”), to raise $1.57m. The Offer successfully closed on 19 November 2015, raising $1.56m, with only a minor shortfall of 4m shares.

The Company received the 2015 R&D Tax Incentive of $1.64m on 3 December 2015.

On 4 December 2015, pursuant to a resolution approved by shareholders at the Company’s Annual General Meeting held on 30 November 2015, the Company consolidated its issued share capital with the conversion of every 55 shares held by a shareholder into one share.

S P R I N T E X L I M I T E D A N D C O N T R O L L E D E N T I T I E S

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Statement of compliance

The half year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001 as appropriate for “for-profit” oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

Basis of preparation

The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those adopted in the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2015, and the corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated, and the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for investments, which have been measured at fair value.

The half-year financial report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the Company as the full financial report.

The half-year financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2015, and any public announcements made by the Company during the interim period, in accordance with continuing disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

New, revised or amending Accounting Standards

The Company has adopted all of the new and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current half-year.

Any new, revised or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

Going concern

The Company has net assets and net current assets of $2,356,375 and $1,225,962, respectively, as at 31 December 2015 and incurred a loss of $920,714 and net operating cash outflow of $427,766 for the six month period ended 31 December 2015.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and meet its debts and future commitments as and when they fall due is dependent on a number of factors, including:

  • the ability to raise sufficient working capital to ensure the continued implementation of the Company’s business plan; and

  • delivery of existing and new products through the Company’s distribution network to generate sales revenues and positive cash flows.

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. In arriving at this position the directors have had regard to the fact that the Company has, or in the directors’ opinion will have access to, sufficient cash to fund administrative and other committed expenditure for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of this report.

Should the Company not achieve the matters set out above, there is significant uncertainty whether it will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due and realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements.

S P R I N T E X L I M I T E D A N D C O N T R O L L E D E N T I T I E S

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent (Sprintex Limited) and all of the subsidiaries (including any structured entities). Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it 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 over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 9.

The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between Group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as “non-controlling interests". The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary's net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the noncontrolling interests' proportionate share of the subsidiary's net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Interests in Joint Arrangements

Joint arrangements represent the contractual sharing of control between parties in a business venture where unanimous decisions about relevant activities are required.

Separate joint venture entities providing joint venturers with an interest to net assets are classified as a "joint venture" and accounted for using the equity method.

Joint venture operations represent arrangements whereby joint operators maintain direct interests in each asset and exposure to each liability of the arrangement. The Group's interests in the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of joint operations are included in the respective line items of the consolidated financial statements.

Gains and losses resulting from sales to a joint operation are recognised to the extent of the other parties' interests. When the Group makes purchases from a joint operation, it does not recognise its share of the gains and losses from the joint arrangement until it resells those goods/assets to a third party.

Details of the Group's interests in joint arrangements are provided in Note 5.

2. Operating Segment

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. This includes start-up operations which are yet to earn revenues. Management will also consider other factors in determining operating segments such as the existence of a line manager and the level of segment information presented to the board of directors.

Operating segments have been identified based on the information provided to the chief operating decision makers, being the executive management team.

The Company operates in one segment, being the manufacture and distribution of the patented range of Sprintex® superchargers and supercharger systems. These products are complementary, produced using similar production processes and sold to similar customers through the same distribution channels.

3. Pledged Bank Deposits

  • a term deposit maturing on 30 June 2016 bearing interest at 2.35% per annum of $30,000 supporting credit card facilities;

  • a term deposit maturing on 31 March 2016 bearing interest at 2.00% per annum, pledged against a guarantee in the amount of $82,000 issued by a bank on behalf of the Company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF

SPRINTEX LIMITED

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Sprintex Limited (the Company) and controlled entities (the consolidated entity) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at 31 December 2015 or during the half year.

Director’s Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of Sprintex Limited are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standards on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 and its performance for the half year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporation Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Sprintex Limited and controlled entities, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, we have given the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration.

Basis for Qualified Review Conclusion

Opening Balances

During the audit of the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2015, we were unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to support the Company’s share of loss in the joint venture entity, Proreka Sprintex Sdn. Bhd (Proreka) for that reporting period amounting to $(993,224) and related impairment of the investment expense of $(718,241). Furthermore, a limitation of scope existed as we were unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to ensure the USA entity’s local direct and indirect tax obligations had been appropriately recognised within the financial report. Our audit opinion on the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2015 was modified accordingly as a result of these matters.

Since the opening balances affect the determination of the results of operations and cash flows, we are unable to determine whether any adjustments to the results of operations, cash flows and opening accumulated losses might be necessary for the half year period ended 31 December 2015. Our conclusion on the current period’s interim report is modified because of the possible effect of this matter and on the comparability of the current period’s figures and corresponding figures.

Joint Venture

During the review of the financial report for the half year ended 31 December 2015, we were unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to support the Company’s share of loss in the joint venture entity, Proreka for that reporting period amounting to $(93,679) and related write back of joint venture impairment expense of $(301,250). Accordingly, we could not determine whether any adjustments to the share of loss in the joint venture entity or the write back of joint venture impairment expense were necessary.

Inventory

The Company’s inventory balance at 31 December 2015 totals $1,219,344 in the statement of financial position and the cost of goods sold in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income totals $(803,544).

We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence for inventory held by a third party on behalf of the Company with a value of $408,367 as at 31 December 2015. We were unable to satisfy ourselves by other means as to the existence of this inventory and therefore we cannot confirm the existence of this inventory. Accordingly, we could not determine whether any adjustments to inventory or cost of goods sold were necessary.

USA Tax Obligations

During the review of the financial report for the half year ended 31 December 2015, we were unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to ensure the company within the USA’s local direct and indirect tax obligations had been appropriately recognised within the financial report.

Qualified Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, except for the effects of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had we been able to satisfy ourselves in relation to the matters detailed in the basis for qualified review conclusion, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Sprintex Limited and controlled entities is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

==> picture [572 x 91] intentionally omitted <==

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Emphasis of Matter

Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report in which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $(920,714) during the half year ended 31 December 2015 and had negative operating cashflow of $(427,766). These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
