SUPPLY NETWORK LIMITED

CHAIRMAN’S AND MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

Over the past year we experienced strong demand in New Zealand and across all States in Australia, with all regions making solid contributions to overall sales revenue growth of 18.8%. The balance in our growth was particularly pleasing and sales revenue of $162.6m was an excellent outcome for the Group.

Profit After Tax of $13.8m giving a PAT Margin of 8.5%, was also an excellent result.

At the end of a year during which most businesses faced unexpected commercial and social challenges, we must acknowledge that our results would not have been possible without the hard work of experienced and committed staff. We work as a team but each person plays an important role, and we again thank all staff for their efforts.

Review of Operations

Over the past 18 months we have learnt more about the resilience of our business through economic cycles. Heavy road transport is an indispensable service for most private and public enterprise, but over the past year government interventions to control the pandemic have intermittently reduced road transport activity in some sectors and some geographies. While our industry has been far less affected than most, we estimate total heavy vehicle activity over the full year, across all sectors and geographies, has tracked reasonably closely to GDP. This is the same conclusion we would draw in any year, but we make the point to emphasise that in FY2021 heavy vehicle activity levels reflect the GDP bounce following a significant slow-down in the final quarter of FY2020.

The more important macro trend is increasing vehicle complexity, which continues to increase the size of our addressable market. Our growth comes from a combination of GDP, the positive trend in our addressable market and any market share gains from original equipment suppliers and aftermarket competitors.

We have always downplayed our results in any single year. The work we do is interconnected over many years and we consider our long-term growth trend to be a better reflection of business performance than any annual result. This long-term growth trend remains positive and, importantly, indicates substantial unrealised opportunity in our addressable market. In this report we give a little more colour to how this market is constructed.

The total market demand for Bus Parts shrank in the last financial year because of lockdowns in major cities, which reduced operating frequencies on many routes, and the collapse of inbound tourism, which had a dramatic impact on long distance coach movements. We were fortunate to increase our Bus business in a couple of niche (but important) markets, and overall our Bus business remained steady. Bus remains one of our core customer segments, but with such strong overall growth Bus is now just 15% of total business mix.

Truck Parts has been the engine of our growth for the past decade. We have said many times this is a positive trend as the size of the Truck market provides substantial opportunity for future growth.

The “Truck Market” is diverse and truck manufactures are intensely competitive. Multiple vehicle models compete in every market segment and model updates further complicate this picture. This means the range of spare parts and the information base required to service even a single truck segment is substantial, and in our industry it takes considerable investment to build scale. Over the past two decades we have systematically extended our range and taken the opportunities provided by growth to extend services into new market segments. These new segments in turn provide more opportunities for growth. It is detailed work, competitive at every step and we do not take lightly the development still ahead of us, but we do now have the supply, the range and the capability to compete effectively in most segments of the truck market. Our future growth will come from segments where we are already strong and from opportunities in other segments where our market share is relatively low.

SUPPLY NETWORK LIMITED

CHAIRMAN’S AND MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

When our industry reflects on the impact of the pandemic, it will probably recall the biggest challenge as disruption to supply. The manufacture of truck and bus parts is a mature global industry with most manufacturers dependent on components sourced from other manufacturers, often in other regions. Australia and New Zealand are relatively isolated so in the current circumstances we are perhaps fortunate to be familiar with long and complex supply chains, and we carry substantial stock buffers. Nonetheless, our high rate of growth coupled with more disruptions to supply from virtually every region, caused directly and indirectly by the pandemic, has made managing continuity of supply difficult. We have added to our Operations Team and built new systems for early identification of product shortages. Staff have also managed the challenges extremely well and there is no doubt the changes we have made have strengthened our business for the post pandemic era. In the meantime, we expect supply challenges to continue for 1-2 years, and this will throw up opportunities for growth.

Our Network

In April 2021 we opened a new branch in Milperra, Sydney to service the southern Sydney suburbs from Port Botany to Moorebank. On 1[st] July 2021 we also opened a new branch in Townsville to service customers from Bowen in the south to Cape York in the north and Mount Isa in the west. Both these branches have capable teams and have been performing ahead of expectations.

Recently we signed Agreements to allow the relocation of our Mackay and Newcastle branches to larger and more accessible sites. Both relocations should take place in the third quarter of this financial year.

We have also made long term lease commitments to an extension of our distribution facilities in Hamilton (NZ), due for completion in the second quarter of this financial year, and for a new distribution centre at Truganina (Melbourne), due for completion in the final quarter. These two sites will roughly double our capacity for bulky products and establish a distribution system capable of supporting annual turnover of $250m.

The Truganina DC will be located in the heart of Melbourne’s largest trucking hub, so we have designed the site to include a new sales branch.

The Future

By the end of last year we had passed all the financial targets we set in our 3-year Plan running to the end of FY2022, and we had completed or were well progressed with all the business development objectives, so we have brought forward our next 3-year Plan to commence at the start of FY2022. This new Plan has a revenue target of $200m in FY2024. The main drivers of growth will be further development of our service network, business systems and teams. Our focus will be similar to and build on the work in previous Plans, and will require a pattern of investment similar to the pattern over recent years. In summary, this new Plan is a continuation of established organic development strategies.

While the immediate economic outlook remains uncertain, government stimulus spending is generally supportive of our major customers, and we expect a small contribution from economic growth over the current year. These are unusual times and clearly there are risks of short-term business interruption, but we have started the year strongly and have targeted revenue growth of at least 10% in FY2022.

Capital Management

Directors were pleased to announce an increase in our final dividend to 12 cents per share. Fully franked interim and final dividends for the year totaled 20.0 cents per share, an increase of 4.5 cents compared with the prior year. This represents a payout ratio of 59% on basic diluted earnings per share of 33.9 cents, slightly below our target payout ratio in recognition of funding requirements during a period of higher investment and accelerated growth.

Net finance debt was $3.5m, a decrease of $4.4m from last year. Gearing (excluding Lease Liabilities) remained conservative at 18.4%. Our strong balance sheet provides an excellent foundation for ongoing investment in growth initiatives and Directors remain committed to a progressive increase in dividends.

Remuneration Report

The report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for Directors and Executives of the Supply Network Limited Group (“SNL”).

The information provided in this Remuneration Report has been audited as required by section 308 (3C) of the Corporations Act 2001.

Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board on remuneration policies and packages applicable to the directors and senior executives of SNL.

The broad remuneration policy is to ensure that the remuneration package of directors and senior executives properly reflects the person's duties and responsibilities and that remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people.

The Remuneration Committee assesses the appropriateness of the amount of remuneration of directors and senior executives on an annual basis by reference to relevant employment market data.

Non-executive director compensation

The Board seeks to set Non-executive director compensation at a level which enables the company to attract and retain suitably qualified directors at a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.

Non-executive directors receive an annual fee for being a director of the company with no provision for retirement benefits. These fees are determined by reference to industry standards taking into account the company's relative size. No additional payments are made for serving on Board Committees and no performance related compensation or equity incentives are offered.

The present maximum aggregate sum for Non-executive directors is $400,000. This amount was approved by shareholders at the 2017 Annual General Meeting.

The compensation of Non-executive directors for the period ending 30 June 2021 is detailed in Table 1 on page 11.

8

SUPPLY NETWORK LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 (continued)

Executive director and senior executives compensation

The company aims to reward its executives with a level of compensation commensurate with the position and responsibilities within the Group, to link reward with performance of the Group and to ensure that total compensation is competitive by market standards.

Compensation consists of the following three elements:

  • fixed compensation

  • variable compensation – short-term incentive and

  • equity-based compensation – long-term incentive.

Fixed Compensation

The level of fixed compensation is set to provide compensation that is both appropriate to the position and competitive in the market place. Executives’ fixed compensation is reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee using relevant employment market data as a guide.

Executives are given the scope to tailor their fixed compensation package in a variety of forms including salary, non-monetary benefits and superannuation.

Variable Compensation - Short Term Incentive

The objective of the short-term incentive is to link the Group’s performance and operational targets with the compensation of the executives. The short-term incentive is cash based and provides senior executives with the opportunity to earn incentives based on a percentage of fixed annual compensation.

The short-term incentive payable to executives is determined by the Board having regard to the performance of the Group and the executive for the relevant year based on qualitative and/or quantitative factors including total shareholder return, return on average equity, return on investment and other business objectives. These factors were chosen as they focused on business performance, shareholder wealth and sustainable growth.

The cost of these incentives is deducted from the financial results before determining the performance rewards.

On an annual basis after completion of the audit of the Group’s financial statements the short-term incentives payable are approved by the Board.

Equity-based Compensation - Long Term Incentive

Employee incentive plan shares have been issued under the Supply Network Limited Employee Incentive Plan (“EIP”) which was reapproved at the 2020 AGM.

A plan share is a right to receive one ordinary share in the Company at a point in the future subject to meeting specified service and performance and/or other conditions (collectively called ‘vesting conditions’). If the applicable conditions are met, the plan shares will vest and may be exercised by the holder of the plan share in return for an ordinary share in the Company. Plan shares do not vest unless the vesting conditions are met.

The Remuneration Committee has set service and performance vesting conditions as part of the remuneration packages in accordance with the Group’s long-term incentive scheme. The conditions have been set in advance, taking into account expected profit growth.

Plan Shares

Executive plan shares, approved by shareholders and issued to executives and other senior managers, are valued using the volume weighted average market price of the ordinary shares of the Company on the ASX for the five-trading day period ending at market close at grant date.

SUPPLY NETWORK LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

1. Corporate information

The consolidated financial statements of Supply Network Limited (the company) for the year ended 30 June 2021 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 27 August 2021.

Supply Network Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia, and whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ report.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of accounting

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards. These financial statements have also been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for selected financial assets and liabilities, which have been measured at fair value. The Group is a for profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($’000) unless otherwise stated, under the option available to the company under ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191. The company is an entity to which the Instrument applies.

(b) Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements of Supply Network Limited also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

(c) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Supply Network Limited and the subsidiaries it controlled at the end of or during the financial year (“the Group”).

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-company balances and transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.

(d) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

(i) Significant accounting judgements

  • In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has not made any significant judgements, apart from those involving estimates.

(continued)

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(d) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)

(ii) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:

Obsolete inventory provision

Provision is made for anticipated obsolete and redundant inventories. This requires an estimation to be made based on expected sales volumes and current inventory levels.

(e) Foreign currency transactions

Both the functional and presentation currency of Supply Network Limited and its Australian subsidiaries are Australian dollars ($). Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance date. These differences are included in other comprehensive income.

Foreign Subsidiary Company

The functional currency of the foreign operation, Multispares N.Z. Limited, is New Zealand dollars (NZ$).

As at the reporting date the assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiary are translated into the presentation currency of Supply Network Limited at the exchange rate ruling at the balance sheet date and its profit or loss is translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the year.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date of the initial transaction.

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken directly to a separate component of equity.

19

SUPPLY NETWORK LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

(continued)

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(e) Foreign currency transactions (continued)

On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss.

(f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprises cash at bank, on deposit and in hand with a maturity of three months or less.

For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consists of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts and bank trade facilities.

(g) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables, which generally have 30 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less any allowance for expected credit losses.

The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade and other receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.

Trade and other receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets.

(h) Inventories

Inventories including finished goods and stocks in transit are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

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

Finished Goods – weighted average cost into store.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Obsolete and redundant inventories are provided for as appropriate.

(i) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

Plant and equipment 3 – 15 years

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed and if appropriate revised at each financial year-end.

An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.

20

SUPPLY NETWORK LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 (continued)

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(i) Property, plant and equipment (continued)

Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset was derecognised.

(j) Right-of-use assets

A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset and restoring the site or asset.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

(k) Derivative financial instruments

The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations. Such derivative financial instruments are stated at market value. None of the forward exchange contracts qualify for hedge accounting and all gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value are charged directly in profit or loss.

The fair value of forward exchange contracts is calculated by reference to current exchange rates for

contracts with similar maturity profiles.

(l) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and are usually paid within 30-60 days of recognition.

(m) Lease liabilities

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of the lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate and any anticipated termination penalties.

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future leased payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; lease term; certainty of termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of-use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

21

SUPPLY NETWORK LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 (continued)

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(n) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is included in profit or loss net of any reimbursement.

Provisions are measured at present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability.

When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised in finance costs.

(o) Employee leave benefits

(i) Wages, salaries and annual leave

  • Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

(ii) Long service leave

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on Australian corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

(p) Post-employment benefits

Contributions are made to employee superannuation funds and are charged against profit or loss when incurred (refer Note 23).

(q) Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

22

SUPPLY NETWORK LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 (continued)

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(r) Interest bearing liabilities

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

(s) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).

An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

(t) Revenue recognition

The Company recognises revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services

(i) Sale of goods

Revenue from the sales of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is generally at the time of delivery.

(ii) Interest income

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

23

SUPPLY NETWORK LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 (continued)

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(t) Revenue recognition (continued)

(iii) Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

(u) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

(v) Income tax

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences except:

  • when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or

  • when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:

  • when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or

  • when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted at the balance sheet date.

Income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

24

SUPPLY NETWORK LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 (continued)

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(v) Income tax (continued)

The tax consolidated current tax expense and other deferred tax assets are required to be allocated to the members of the tax-consolidated group. The Group uses a group allocation method for this purpose where the allocated current tax payable, current tax loss, deferred tax assets and other tax credits for each member of the tax consolidated group is determined as if the company is a standalone taxpayer but modified as necessary to recognise membership of a tax consolidated group. Recognition of amounts allocated to members of the tax-consolidated group has regard to the tax consolidated group’s future tax profits.

(w) Other taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

  • when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

(x) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:

  • cost of servicing equity (other than dividends)

  • the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and

  • other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares;

divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

(y) New, revised or amending Accounting standards and interpretations adopted

The Group has applied all new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. There has been no material impact on adoption of these standards.

(z) New Accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted

There are no new standards that have been issued that are not yet effective and that are expected to have a material impact on financial reports of the Group in the current or future reporting periods.

The Group derives its revenue from contracts with customers for the transfer of goods at a point for all its revenue lines.

AASB 15 requires an entity to disaggregate revenue recognised from contracts with customers into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The Group has assessed that the disaggregation of revenue by operating segments is appropriate in meeting this disclosure requirement as this is the information regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to evaluate the financial performance of the entity.

(d) Tax consolidation

Supply Network Limited and its wholly owned Australian entities elected to form a tax consolidated group from 1 July 2003. The accounting policy in relation to this legislation is set out in Note 2(v).

The members of the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax sharing agreement which, in the opinion of the directors, would limit the joint and several liabilities of the wholly-owned entities for future income taxes of the tax consolidated group in the case of a default by the head entity, Supply Network Limited. At balance date the possibility of default is remote.

For the current year the entities have decided to enter into a tax funding agreement under which the funding amounts are based on the amounts of current tax expense allocated to the subsidiary and recognised by it in accordance with the accounting policy. The funding amounts are recognised as an increase/decrease in the subsidiaries' inter-company accounts with the tax consolidated group head company. The amounts receivable/payable under the tax funding agreement are due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head entity, which is issued as soon as practicable after the end of each financial year. The head entity may also require payment of interim funding amounts to assist with its obligations to pay tax instalments. The funding amounts are recognised in the current inter-company receivables or payables.

28. Key economic risks

Financial risk management

The Group’s principal financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprise cash, bank loans, bank overdrafts and bank trade facility. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to finance 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. The Group also enters into derivative transactions, principally forward currency contracts, the purpose of which is to manage the currency risk arising from the Group’s operations. It is, and has been throughout the period under review, the Group’s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken. The main risks arising from the Group’s operations are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group also has to manage its capital. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.

(a) Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk through financial assets and liabilities. The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings (refer Note 12).

The following table summarises interest rate risk for the Group together with effective interest rates as at balance date.

(i) Floating interest rates are the most recently determined rate applicable to the instrument at balance date. Floating rate liabilities and non-interest bearing liabilities have contractual maturities of between 1-4 years.

The Group uses a mix of fixed and variable rate debt.

Fixed interest rate debts are used for long term funding. Amounts and maturity dates of long term funding for interest rate repricing vary depending on the interest rates offered at date of maturity. At balance date maturity dates range from 1-4 years.

Variable rate facilities such as bank overdrafts and trade facility are used for short term funding and are subject to annual renewal and market fluctuations in interest rates.

Surplus funds are invested with banks in short term call accounts and are subject to market fluctuations in interest rates.

Management have assessed the impact of any changes of effective interest rates and have determined there would be minimal effect on the Group’s profit after income tax.

(b) Foreign exchange risk

The Group is exposed to the risk of adverse movements in the Australian dollar relative to certain foreign currencies. To manage this risk the Group entered into forward exchange contracts to hedge certain purchases of inventory undertaken in foreign currencies. The terms of these commitments are not more than six months.

Net exposure at balance date refer Note 16.

Management have assessed the impact of a material movement in the Australian dollar exchange rate on trade payables and have determined that there would be minimal effect on the Group’s profit after income tax.

The Group has an investment in a foreign subsidiary operation whose net assets are exposed to foreign currency translation risk. Currency exposure arising from this foreign operation is managed primarily through borrowings in that subsidiary’s foreign currency.

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises primarily from the financial assets of the Group, which comprises cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables.

The Group’s maximum exposures to credit risk at reporting date in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the balance sheet.

The Group minimises concentrations of credit risk in relation to trade receivables by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers from across the range of business segments in which the Group operates.

Credit risk in trade receivables is managed in the following ways:

  • (a) payment terms are cash or 30 days,

  • (b) a risk assessment process is used for customers trading outside agreed terms,

  • (c) all new accounts are reviewed for past credit performance.

An allowance for impairment loss is recognised when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect a trade receivable.

(d) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due. Liquidity is managed to ensure, as far as possible, that sufficient funds are available to meet liabilities when they fall due without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate banking facilities and borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecasts and actual cash flows and matching maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. See Note 24(b) for undrawn facilities the Group has available to further reduce liquidity risk.

42

SUPPLY NETWORK LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 (continued)

28. Key economic risks (continued)

(e) Capital risk management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.

The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which comprises the borrowings detailed in Note 12, cash and cash equivalents (refer Note 5) and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital (refer Note 17), reserves (refer Note 18) and retained earnings.

The Board reviews the capital structure on a regular basis. As part of this review the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital is considered. The Group balances its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, operation of dividend reinvestment plan, new share issues, share buy-backs and additional borrowings.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Supply Network Limited: INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Supply Network Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (collectively “the Group”), which comprises the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2021, 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 year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and

  • (b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“the Code”) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

  4. (c) Considered the assumptions made by management and compared them with historical experience of the sale of inventories by the Group.

  5. We reviewed the accounting policies used by the Group for inventories, and the disclosures in the financial report.

Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

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

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

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

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

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

46

==> picture [594 x 90] intentionally omitted <==

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

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

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

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
