CONDENSED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017

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 2017, 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 Group as the full financial report.

The half-year financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual report of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2017, and any public announcements made by the Group during the interim period, in accordance with continuing disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

New, revised or amending Accounting Standards

The Group 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. There has been no material impact on the adoption of these.

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

Going concern

The Group has a net liability position of $162,221 as at 31 December 2017 and incurred a loss of $452,021 and net operating cash outflow of $106,330 for the six month period ended 31 December 2017.

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 Group’s business plan; and

  • delivery of existing and new products through the Group’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 Group 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 Group 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.

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

Pledged bank deposits at 31 December 2017 represented a term deposit of $30,000 maturing on 30 June 2018, bearing interest at 2.05% per annum supporting credit card facilities. In accordance with the advance received from Innovation Structured Finance an amount totalling $294,750 remains secured. Refer note 7.

Proreka Sprintex Sdn. Bhd. is a Malaysian company which is 50% owned by the Company and owns and operates a facility in Malaysia which has been licenced to assemble and manufacture Sprintex ® products under licence from the Company.

At 31 December 2017, in view of the losses being incurred by the joint venture, the carrying value of the balances with the joint venture were deemed to be fully impaired.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF

SPRINTEX LIMITED

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:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and 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.

Basis for Qualified Review Conclusion

Opening Balances

During the audit of the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2017, we were unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to support the company’s investment and inter-entity loan to the joint venture, Proreka Sprintex Sdn. Bhd. Our opinion on the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2017 was modified accordingly.

Since 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 considered necessary for the year ended 31 December 2017. Our opinion on the current half year’s financial report is modified accordingly, as a result of the possible effect of the matter noted above and on the comparability of the current year’s figures and corresponding figures.

Joint Venture

As at 31 December 2017 we were unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate review evidence to determine the financial performance and position of the joint venture Proreka Sprintex Sdn. Bhd and, accordingly adjustments that may be necessary to the carrying value of the investment and inter-entity loan.

USA Taxation Obligations

The consolidated entity has a 100% controlled entity, Sprintex USA Inc, which trades within the United States and which facilitates the sale and distribution of Sprintex products. A limitation of scope exists as we were unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence to ensure the entity’s direct and indirect tax obligations in the USA had been appropriately accounted for and disclosed in the financial report. Accordingly, we could not determine whether any adjustments were required to account for the impact of USA taxation obligations.

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.

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 $(452,021) during the half year ended 31 December 2017 and had negative operating cashflow of $(106,330). 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.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors’ of the company 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 Regulations 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated group’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and its performance for the half year ended on that date, and complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Sprintex Limited and the entities it controlled during the half year, 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.
