2014 Annual Report 5

==> picture [167 x 141] intentionally omitted <==

chairman’s report

I am pleased to report on LogiCamms’ performance for the 2014 financial year. The Company has operated in dynamic and challenging market conditions and I am confident that our transition program will underpin growth in the year ahead.

LogiCamms’ statutory net profit after tax (NPAT) was $5.0 million, down from the 2013 financial year result of $11.1 million. This was primarily attributable to the impact of mixed conditions across our core markets with a stronger profit performance in the second half.

The NPAT result represents earnings per share of 7.2 cents, a decrease from 16.6 cents per share in 2013.

The Board has declared a final dividend of 3.5 cents per share, which brings the full year dividend to 5.5 cents per share, fully franked. The record date for the final dividend is 11 September 2014 and the payment date is 25 September 2014.

Operating cash flow for the full year remained strong with positive cash flow from operating activities of $5.6 million. The Company maintains a solid balance sheet with no outstanding borrowings and a net cash position of $12.2 million as at 30 June 2014. LogiCamms extended its funding facility with National Australia Bank to $17.9 million, which includes a $7.0 million bank guarantee facility and a $10.0 million multi option funding facility which remains undrawn as at 30 June 2014.

Following a review of the business as reported in May 2014, we have responded to market conditions with a transition program to reposition the business. These initiatives are aimed at re-setting our cost base and strengthening our competitive position, increasing revenue over the longer term and delivering improved margins and shareholder returns into FY2015. The Company is making solid progress through this program, and the Board remains confident that LogiCamms will create a stronger and more sustainable competitive foothold as a result.

As part of the strategy, key transitions took place at the Board and management levels. Steve Banning transitioned to Non-Executive Director from Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director. Steve’s knowledge of hydrocarbons markets and executive experience for three years within LogiCamms will provide continuity in the ongoing development of our strategy. Matthew Adamo was appointed Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director moving from his previous role as Chief Financial Officer. Matthew’s extensive professional services industry experience combined with his passion for the Company will provide stability and renewed focus on the implementation of our strategic plans and development of a high performance culture. I look forward to the continued energy and contribution from both Steve and Matthew in the year ahead.

The Board and I acknowledge the contribution of Damian Young, who retired as a NonExecutive Director in May 2014. Damian joined the LogiCamms Board in 2009 and I thank him for his support of the Company during his tenure.

LogiCamms remains committed to the implementation of robust governance and risk management practices. Our risk management framework continues to mature and I am pleased to see the Company adopting an approach of continuous improvement with embedded processes to capture commercial lessons from project experiences.

LogiCamms remains committed to excellence in health and safety and continued its strong performance in this area during the period. Our customers accept nothing less than a Zero Harm focus from their providers and subcontractors, and this philosophy continues to be central to our decision making and actions.

Market conditions have been mixed throughout the 2014 financial year. We have a solid pipeline of opportunities with new and existing customers. However the rapid speed of change within our core markets is likely to continue into FY2015. For our customers, the influences and economics of developing assets and delivering projects is frequently shifting, with extended decision making processes expected to continue in the year ahead.

LogiCamms must be a lean, agile organisation, responsive to the speed of change within our markets. The Board is confident that our focused strategy, healthy cash position and commitment to developing a high performance culture will support a return to growth as market conditions improve. The Company is actively pursuing collaborative partnerships and acquisitive investment opportunities with a focus on expanding capabilities and geographic reach. LogiCamms’ Asset Performance services, which focus on optimal performance of facilities and workforces, are expected to present ongoing opportunities for the Company across all industry sectors.

I would like to acknowledge the efforts of our Directors and leadership team and thank them for their contribution and commitment to LogiCamms during the year. I would also like to thank the people of LogiCamms who have continued to focus on building strong relationships with our customers during a year of challenges for our industry and transition for the Company.

managing director’s report

The speed of change within our markets has intensified and market conditions are increasingly competitive, creating pressure on our financial performance in FY2014. We have actively embraced the need to change with a transition program of targeted strategic initiatives and cost reductions to improve our market position and competitiveness for the years ahead.

a $2.3 million provision made at the time of the acquisition of ITL Engineering for earn out targets. Despite solid earnings performance in New Zealand the provision release was realised due to earnings growth in New Zealand for FY14 being below defined outperformance targets established at the time of acquisition. The total provision made on acquisition was NZD 5.0 million (AUD 4.2 million) and following the release of AUD 2.3 million, AUD 1.9 million remains in place for potential payments to the vendors of ITL Engineering for FY15 financial outperformance.

During the period, revenue was primarily derived from work on existing (brownfield) facilities and projects, with 57 per cent of revenue from delivering projects and services to customers in hydrocarbon markets. This reflects the successful implementation of the Company’s strategy and a resilient brownfield hydrocarbons market in Australia and New Zealand compared with a tightening of operational and capital investment from our customers in minerals, metals and infrastructure sectors. LogiCamms’ top 20 customers contributed over 60 per cent of revenue. Additionally LogiCamms delivered over 1200 projects during the year, the majority of these being small specialist consultancy assignment, demonstrating a continued balance in our portfolio.

Health and Safety

LogiCamms achieved continued excellence in safety performance during the period with a Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate of zero per million hours worked, for the second consecutive year. Our strong safety performance is supported by a health and safety management system accredited to

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA), including restructuring costs of $3.9 million, was $6.7 million. Also included in this EBITDA figure is the release of

==> picture [127 x 209] intentionally omitted <==

Australia and New Zealand standards and a continued focus on embedding safety principles within our culture and at all levels of the organisation.

Business Repositioning

Mixed market conditions for our customers defined our operating environment in the 2014 financial year. With an orientation towards enhancing the value and performance of operating assets, LogiCamms recognised the need for a leaner and more streamlined operating structure and approach to service delivery. Our response to the changing market conditions was in committing to a series of targeted strategic initiatives aimed at increasing the value of our offering to clients and by making significant reductions to our cost base.

We have made solid progress already in this transition program, which is expected to deliver net benefits of approximately $5.0 million before tax in the 2015 financial year. This change program has re-cast our overheads to a scale that is more appropriate and sustainable for our operating environment now and in the foreseeable future. It will also ensure we can continue to offer services that are both high quality and cost competitive.

Staff numbers within LogiCamms were adjusted during the reporting period as part of the transition program to align the Company’s resource profile with market conditions. Staff numbers were reduced by approximately 5%, however the Company has continued to recruit staff into high growth areas, such as Asset Performance. As such, the Company’s workforce is currently around 610 people (FY13: 640).

Environmental Regulation and Performance

The Group’s operations are subject to Australian Commonwealth and State environmental legislation as well as legislation in New Zealand.

LogiCamms has not been fined or prosecuted for any significant breaches of environmental regulations during the financial year.

Operating and Financial Review

a. Financial Performance Overview

The Group’s financial results in 2014 declined across the following key metrics.

  • õ Revenue decreased to $127.9 million (down from $129.5 million in 2013, a decrease of 1%)

  • õ Profit before tax decreased to $4.7 million (down from $13.5 million in 2013, a decrease of 66%)

  • õ Profit after tax decreased to $5.0 million (down from $11.1 million in 2013, a decrease of 55%)

  • õ Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA)[1] was $6.7 million (down from $14.1 million in 2013, a decrease of 53%)

  • õ EBITDA as a percentage of revenue was 5.2% (down from 10.9% in 2013).

Profit after tax includes research and development incentives recognised as tax credits of $1.2 million, compared with $1.8 million in the prior year. The research and development incentives recognise innovation across the business and the unique nature of services LogiCamms provides as part of delivering solutions to customers.

1 The reference to EBITDA is unaudited and is unreviewed and is intended to provide a measure of financial performance before the impact of non-cash items such as depreciation and amortisation, as well as interest income and expenses. EBITDA references in this Directors Report include profit from equity accounted investments.

Directors’ Report

for the year ended 30 June 2014

The key impacts on revenue and earnings over the prior corresponding period were:

  • õ Competitive pressures

  • õ Decline in economic activity

  • õ Internal restructuring costs as announced to the market

The key drivers for supporting future revenue and earnings growth will include;

  • õ A strong focus on optimisation of brownfield assets – working closely with customers to enhance the performance of their operations has underpinned a solid earnings result for LogiCamms and helped to strengthen our customer base and relationships;

  • õ Industry and service diversification – the proportion of total revenue derived from services to the hydrocarbons market has grown in 2014 to 57% (up from 30% in the previous corresponding period); and

  • õ Emphasis on operational excellence – during the year the Company undertook substantial organisational redesign and investment. This reflects our focus on driving efficiency and innovation, as well as strengthening our ability to pursue business development opportunities. In addition we continued to enhance business systems and processes related to the pursuit of business opportunities, risk management, cost control, and mobility of our people with all initiatives seeking to continuously improve how we deliver our services.

Industry focus and responding rapidly to changes in market needs is an important element of the Company’s strategy. LogiCamms’ ability to rapidly develop a presence and expertise in supporting hydrocarbons markets in Australia and overseas follows an acceleration of our strategic pursuits in this sector since 2010.

b. Performance Across Markets

The Company operates across three key markets, being hydrocarbons, minerals and metals and infrastructure. A highlight of the performance in 2014 was the increase in revenue and earnings from the hydrocarbons sector. Revenue from hydrocarbons increased to 57% in 2014 (2013: 30%). This growth was driven by further development of relationships with key customers, such as Santos, Origin, Epic Energy, ConocoPhillips, APA Group, Chevron, Oil Search and Methanex Corporation (NZ). Although the hydrocarbons market remains an area of strong growth for the Company, strong competition is also being experienced in that market.

Competitive pressures were experienced across the Company’s range of services and industries, primarily within the minerals and metals sector. The broader economic environment and the impact on resource prices, including iron ore and coal, impacted on the volume of work in those sectors as well as leading to increased competition. In FY14 revenue contributed from customers in the minerals and metals sector was 36% (FY13: 57%). The Company’s strategy is to continue to focus on existing brownfield assets and through innovation to assist customers to increase productivity, performance and extract maximum value from their assets. Key customers in 2014 included Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton, BMA, Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal and Sandvik Mining & Construction.

The Company also provides services to the infrastructure sector, including the water, power, sugar and cement industries. Although infrastructure markets remain an important part of the Company’s long term strategic plan, during 2014 revenue from infrastructure accounted for 7%, (2013: 13%). The reduction in revenue contribution from this sector in 2014 primarily reflects the winding down of a number of larger projects during the year.

The Company’s work in international markets continued during the period, driven by existing customer relationships and the demand for high value consultancy services. International work included early phase studies for new mine developments, plant optimisations and competency assurance and competency training services.

c. Market Review and Outlook

Through a leaner organisational design and development and empowerment of our people, the Company is well positioned to capitalise on new prospects and the anticipated extension of existing long term support agreements with customers in the hydrocarbons sector, largely within Australia and New Zealand. There has also been an increase in brownfield opportunities identified across our minerals and metals customer base.

LogiCamms’ focus on unlocking value and increasing asset performance, particularly on brownfield operations, presents a genuine opportunity for both our customers and LogiCamms to optimise performance in the coming year. This is despite the outlook for some of our minerals and metals customers, particularly in the coal sector, being challenged with ongoing pressure to cut costs and improve productivity in their existing operations.

The outlook in the hydrocarbons sector in Australia and New Zealand remains positive. In the year ahead, the Company expects to accelerate penetration into this sector with its expanded hydrocarbons expertise and asset performance services, as well as specialist consulting services.

The Company expects that its strong focus on asset performance and increased penetration into the hydrocarbons sector provides a solid platform for delivering earnings growth in the 2015 financial year.

d. Working Capital Management

The Company has had a strong focus on working capital management during the year. This focus has resulted in a strong positive operating cash flow of $5.6m (2013: $14.6m).

The Company’s strong capital position also allowed for controlled reinvestment into the development of our people, innovation and enhanced business systems.

2014 Annual Report 15

Directors’ Report

for the year ended 30 June 2014

e. Statement of Financial Position

The Company’s total assets decreased to $105.2 million in 2014 (2013: $106.0 million). The end of year cash balance of $12.2 million was down from $13.1 million in 2013, mainly due to the decline in profitability and substantial one-off restructuring costs.

The Company’s total liabilities decreased to $24.4 million (2013: $27.8 million). Increases in property lease related provisions and deferred revenue added $4.0 million to total liabilities offset by reductions in trade payables and income tax payable.

The Company’s equity increased to $80.8 million (2013: $78.2 million) due to the net effect of the 2014 result and payment of an interim dividend plus an increase in the value of goodwill relating to the ITL acquisition in the previous year due to a favourable exchange rate movement. The Company continues to operate debt-free, and has utilised only $6.0 million of its current $22.0 million bank guarantee and bonding facilities (2013: $22.0 million). The Company extended its financing facilities with it existing bankers to include a $10.0 million working capital multi-option facility (that remains undrawn).

During the year, the Company paid an interim dividend of 2.0 cents per share and has declared a final year dividend of 3.5 cents per share, taking the full year dividend for the 2014 financial year to 5.5 cents per share (2013: 9.0 cents per share).

f. Key Strategic Goals

LogiCamms will continue to focus on unlocking higher value and increasing asset performance for our customers. Our skill-set extends across all phases of the asset and project lifecycle, with three key service streams, being engineering consulting, project delivery and asset performance. These streams provide services across the hydrocarbons, minerals and metals and infrastructure markets.

The Company is building on its significant expertise with a focus on long term relationships with its customers. The Company will continue to target growth markets, diversify its customer base, increase technical engineering consultancy work, and optimise the value of its customers’ brownfield assets. Innovation is central to this platform, combined with the ongoing development of our people to meet changing customer needs. A sustained focus on technical excellence and quality of service delivery remains with a continued commitment to organisational development, including expanding on training programs and investment in innovation.

LogiCamms will continue to develop its “Centres of Excellence” approach, facilitating the efficient mobilisation of its highly skilled people to meet market needs, including to remote locations. The workshare philosophy between offices and diverse range of capabilities has enabled LogiCamms to deliver projects from various offices to customers worldwide.

The Company operates in the key energy and resource regions in Australia and New Zealand. LogiCamms will look to further expand its geographic footprint and continue to position itself as a leading multidiscipline professional services provider. LogiCamms is committed to developing capabilities that are fully transferrable across regions, with specific capability in the areas of, but not limited to, asset performance services, advanced automation services and high-end engineering

consulting services. These strategic objectives will be delivered through a combination of organic development, as well as through strategic partnerships and acquisitions.

g. Significant Risks

The Company is subject to a number of external, business, financial and operational risks. As LogiCamms is a service provider to the hydrocarbons, minerals and metals and infrastructure industries, any exposure that those industries have to risk factors will have some impact on LogiCamms’ business.

As an example, the volatility in metals and minerals prices throughout 2014, particularly with respect to coal, impacted on the development of new projects and re-investment in existing projects of a number of our customers. Although LogiCamms has in place strategies to mitigate the impact of this, such as industry and service diversification, the volatility and uncertainty from such events may impact the nature and timing of work under contract.

LogiCamms is also subject to other external risks such as currency exchange movements, changes in demand for key products (driven by changes in factors such as the Chinese economy) and political risk. The majority of LogiCamms’ revenues are based in Australia and New Zealand and denominated in Australian and New Zealand dollars, and as such, foreign currency risks are somewhat reduced.

As a professional services business, the attraction, retention and investment in our people is critical to the success of the business. LogiCamms manages the risks associated with a people-based business through significant investment in training, attraction and retention strategies.

The Company also faces risks in its relationship with customers. In order to optimise the delivery of services to customers, the Company has in place a robust risk management and governance framework that applies to the assessment, tender and delivery of customer projects.

LogiCamms is exposed to financial risks, which are partly inter-dependant on the external and business risks mentioned above. Significant investment was made in 2014 in the development of risk and financial management systems and processes available to the business. Further, LogiCamms manages working capital closely to ensure minimal volatility in results and the appropriate delivery of services within commercial agreed terms. Although LogiCamms does not currently have any borrowings, its ability to fund future expansion and acquisitions may be dependent on the availability of debt facilities on suitable terms.

In relation to the operational risks to the business, LogiCamms has a strong focus on ensuring that work is carried out on terms that satisfy the Company’s internal policies relevant to appropriate return and risk. LogiCamms has a focus on long term sustainable projects and relationships and applies margins to work accordingly.

The Company also has detailed procedures in place to ensure that the Company is staffed efficiently and that its people are working at a level of business that balances the goal of strong margins with that of ensuring the Company’s people are working in an environment that encourages sustainable personal development and growth opportunities.

The Company maintains a register of key risks and has in place crisis management and disaster recovery plans.

Governance of remuneration arrangements

To determine the remuneration of its KMP the Company has a Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Committee makes recommendations to the Board in relation to the remuneration of KMP, including the fixed and at risk components of remuneration, which currently includes STI and LTI Plans as further described below. Based on the information and recommendations provided by the Committee, the Board applies its discretion to determine remuneration, including any changes to fixed components of KMP remuneration as well as any awards under the STI and LTI Plans. The Committee assists the Board in establishing human resources and compensation policies and practices including the specific remuneration (including base pay, incentive payments, bonuses, equity awards, superannuation, retirement rights, termination payments and services contracts) of the Managing Director and other KMP. The proceedings of each Committee meeting are reported directly to the Board. The Chairman of the Committee shall be a Non–Executive Director, with all other members being members of the Board. The Managing Director is invited to attend Committee meetings.

LogiCamms’ Nominations and Remuneration Committee engaged external consultants to assess the market competitiveness of remuneration in the 2014 financial year. The consultants engaged were PricewaterhouseCoopers with terms of reference to assess market data on remuneration for comparable companies and positions. PricewaterhouseCoopers did not, and were not engaged to, provide a remuneration recommendation and, as such, no disclosures are required under the Corporations Act in relation to the role of PricewaterhouseCoopers.

2014 Executive Remuneration Framework

The primary objective of LogiCamms’ executive remuneration strategy is creating a framework that supports sustainable growth over the long term, recognising that this is in the interest of all stakeholders. This framework seeks to reward, retain, and motivate senior executives in a manner aligned with shareholders.

LogiCamms 2014 financial year saw earnings decline compared to the 2013 financial year. For the 2014 financial year, Earnings Per Share (EPS) was 7.2 cents per share and Total Shareholder Return (TSR) was – 32% (excluding the impact of franking credits). Under the Key Executive Remuneration Framework the STI and LTI outcomes for 2014 were as follows:

Components of Executive Remuneration

Remuneration and other terms of employment for the Managing Director and other executive KMP are formalised in Executive Service Agreements and incentive plans. The total remuneration packages for these KMP contain:

  • õ A fixed component – Base salary including superannuation. This is expressed as a specific amount that the executive may take in a form agreed with the Company and is determined based on market reference, the scope and nature of the individual’s role, their performance and experience.

  • õ At risk components – The Board considers that the financial and operational performance and prospects of the Company are strongly linked to creating shareholder wealth. Accordingly, the Board has put in place at-risk components to remuneration based on success in delivering on pre-defined targets. At-risk components are in the form of:

  • Short Term Incentive (STI) – payable in cash. Outcomes are based on LogiCamms financial and operational performance over the financial period, in addition to individual performance measures; and

  • Long Term Incentives (LTI) – includes the issue of Performance Rights and Share Appreciation Rights that are subject to the satisfaction of performance hurdles. These LTI instruments are issued for the purposes of aligning their interests with those of shareholders by rewarding long term sustainable shareholder value creation. LTI outcomes are based on TSR and EPS growth targets.

Fixed Remuneration

The fixed remuneration component of salaries includes a base salary and superannuation. Fixed remuneration may be allocated at the executive’s discretion to cash, superannuation (subject to legislative minimum), motor vehicles and certain other benefits. The fixed remuneration component is determined based on the scope and nature of the individual’s role, their performance and experience. In financial year 2014, LogiCamms engaged external consultants to enable the Company to assess the market competitiveness of remuneration within the business, including the fixed remuneration levels. LogiCamms sets the fixed remuneration based on the assessment of market data of external consultants as well as through the Company’s internal metrics and data.

Executive KMP may choose to receive remuneration by way of salary sacrifice, such as motor vehicles and superannuation.

Short Term Incentive (STI)

Under the terms of the STI, each participant has an annual target STI award based on a percentage of base salary for the year. Payment of the individual’s target STI is dependent on performance against the following key performance drivers:

Non-financial performance measures were also incorporated in order to drive leadership performance and behaviours consistent with achieving the Group’s objectives in areas including safety, succession planning and talent management.

For financial year 2014, KMP had a maximum STI opportunity ranging from 20% to 50% of their fixed remuneration where targets are met. However, if the threshold performance for a measure is not met, the payment may be reduced.

The STI payment is subject to the participant being employed with the Company at the time the STI is due to be paid.

STI awards are determined after a review of performance against the key performance drivers by the Board at the end of the financial year.

Long Term Incentive (LTI)

For the 2014 financial year, each of the executive KMP listed above were participants in the LTI Plan. LTI awards were split into an issue of Performance Rights and Share Appreciation Rights (SARs).

  • õ 50% of the award was granted as Performance Rights. Each Performance Right represents a right to be issued one share at a future point in time at a nil exercise price.

  • õ 50% of the award was granted as SARs. Each SAR represents a right to receive a payment equal to the positive difference between the share price at the allocation date during the year and the share price at the vesting date in the future. The total value of all SARs on the vesting date will be settled via the provision of shares of an equivalent value. SARs only reward share price growth and only payout for the increase in value over the starting share price.

Each of the Performance Rights and SARs granted under the LTI Plan are subject to performance hurdles. The hurdles used to determine performance are Relative Total Shareholder Return (Relative TSR) and Absolute Earnings Per Share growth (Absolute EPS):

  • õ 50% of the granted Performance Rights and SARs are subject to the Relative TSR measured against the S&P Small Ordinaries Index over the performance period.

  • õ 50% of the granted Performance Rights and SARs are subject to the Absolute EPS compound growth of 10% per annum over the performance period.

Performance measures for the Relative TSR based award and the Absolute EPS based award are mutually exclusive, meaning that if one hurdle is not met, there is still the ability to earn under the other hurdle. The Board tests the TSR and EPS performance measures upon finalisation of the annual accounts.

2014 Annual Report 23

Directors’ Report

for the year ended 30 June 2014

Remuneration report – audited (continued)

The vesting criteria with respect to the 2014 LTI are included in the table below.

Vesting Criteria Detail
Performance Period The performance period with respect to the 2014 LTI awards is 3 years, from 1 July 2013
to 30 June 2016. As such no vesting of the FY14 grants will occur until after 30 June 2016.
Thresholds for Relative TSR For those Performance Rights and SARs subject to Relative TSR performance vesting will
occur based on the percentile ranking of the Company’s Total Shareholder Return against
all companies included in the S&P Small Ordinaries Index for the relevant performance period
as follows:
õ Below 50th percentile, no vesting
õ Between 50th and 75th percentile, pro rata vesting between 50 – 100%
õ Equal or greater than 75th percentile, 100% vesting
Threshold for Absolute EPS For those Performance Rights and SARs subject to Absolute EPS performance vesting will occur
based on the EPS compound annual growth rate achieved over the performance period. The
Absolute EPS target of 10% compound growth per annum, of a base of 16.6 cps, must be
achieved for vesting to occur. If EPS growth is below 10% per annum then no vesting will occur.
Retesting No retesting will be permitted for either Relative TSR or Absolute EPS.

The terms of the other Performance and Share Appreciation Rights issued in prior years have two performance conditions:

õ A relative total shareholder return measure over the performance period; and

õ An absolute earnings per share growth target over the performance period.

For the current and prior years, the performance measures are mutually exclusive. Performance will be assessed over a period of three years. The exercise price for these Performance Rights is nil, while the effective exercise price of the Share Appreciation Rights is equal to the share price at grant, and the payoff is equivalent to the difference between the price at the end of the performance period, and the allocation share price, with the value settled in shares at the end of the Performance Period. If a change of control of the Company occurs all Performance Rights will be subject to accelerated vesting on a pro rata basis with respect to the time elapsed since issue.

On cessation of employment unvested Performance Rights will lapse unless the Board allows them to vest in circumstances of total and permanent disability, death or other circumstances determined by the Board.

Total Shareholder Return (TSR)

TSR measures the performance of an ordinary LogiCamms share (including any cash dividends and other shareholder benefits paid during the period) relative to other companies in the S&P Small Ordinaries Index over the performance period. The Board believes that TSR is an appropriate performance hurdle because it is aligned with long term value creation for shareholders. The TSR measures the return received by shareholders from holding shares in the Company over the performance period. Achievement of the Relative TSR target will reward senior executives when the Company outperforms comparable companies.

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

EPS measures the profit attributable to shareholders per issued share. Compound annual growth in Absolute EPS growth equal to or greater than 10% over the performance period is required for the relevant threshold under the LTI to be met. Absolute EPS growth is a forward looking performance measure that drives continued and sustainable growth.

Other terms

The LTI dollar value determined for each executive is calculated based on a percentage of the executive’s annual fixed remuneration and for the executive KMP ranges from 20% to 50%. This level of LTI is in line with current market practice. The number of Performance Rights and SARs awarded to each executive is calculated by dividing the LTI dollar value by the estimated fair value of the Performance Right or SARs, as the case may be. The Company engaged PriceWaterhouseCoopers to determine a fair value for the Performance Rights and SARs in relation to the 2014 awards.

Performance Right and SARs granted under the LTI Plans carry no voting or dividend entitlements. Currently, based on the number of Performance Rights and SARs issued and held pursuant to the STI and LTI Plans and having regard to the share price as at 30 June 2014 should all of these securities convert to shares these would represent 0.5% of the Company’s issued share capital.

Awards under the 2014 Incentive Plans and the Links to Company Performance

The 2014 financial year for LogiCamms saw financial performance decline on the 2013 financial year. With respect to the STI plan many of the key performance criteria were not achieved during the year and as a result, no STI awards associated with the 2014 financial year were awarded to the KMP’s.

Consequences of performance on shareholder wealth
In considering the Group’s performance and benefts for shareholder wealth, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee has had regard to a number of
factors including proft (as determined under Australian Accounting Standards), dividends, EPS, return on equity and the performance of the share price.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee has regard to the following indices in respect of the 2014 fnancial year and the previous four fnancial years.
2014 2013 2012 2011 2010
Proft attributable to owners of the Company (‘000’s) $5,006 $11,096 $10,689 $4,630 $5,579
Dividends paid (‘000’s) $4,545 $6,307 $3,208 $4,066 $2,921
Change in share price –$0.48 $0.21 $0.08 $0.14 $0.29
Return on equity 6.2% 14.2% 15.6% 7.4% 10.6%
EPS (cps) 7.2 16.6 15.8 7.6 11.7

In considering the Group’s performance and benefits for shareholder wealth, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee has had regard to a number of factors including profit (as determined under Australian Accounting Standards), dividends, EPS, return on equity and the performance of the share price.

Profit is considered as one of the financial performance targets in setting the STI. Profit amounts for 2010 to 2014 have been calculated in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs).

The overall level of executive KMP compensation takes into account these and other factors in assessing the performance of the Group and executive KMP over a number of years. When comparing financial year 2014 to financial year 2013, which are the most relevant years to the current set of executive KMP, the Group’s profit from ordinary activities after tax decreased by 55%. During the same period, total KMP executive compensation increased by 8%, which includes termination payments made to the Managing Director and Director Operational Excellence. Excluding these termination payments, KMP executive compensation decreased by 14% on the prior year.

Overview of the Group’s Current Service Contracts with Key Management Personnel

It is the Group’s policy that service contracts for executive KMP (excluding the Managing Director), are unlimited in term but capable of termination on 3 months’ notice. The Group retains the right to terminate a KMP contract immediately by making payment of between 3 and 12 months’ pay in lieu of notice. The KMP are also entitled to receive on termination of employment their statutory entitlements of accrued annual and long service leave, together with any superannuation benefits.

Non-executive director remuneration

Remuneration Policy

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors at a level that provides the Group with the ability to attract and retain directors of appropriate calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.

The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the fee structure is reviewed annually against fees paid to nonexecutive directors (NEDs) of comparable companies.

The Company’s constitution and the ASX listing rules specify that the NED fee pool shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The latest determination by shareholders approved an aggregate fee pool of up to $600,000 with such fees to be allocated to the Directors as the Board of Directors may determine.

Structure

The remuneration of NEDs consists of directors’ fees and committee fees. NEDs do not receive retirement benefits.

Each NED, except the Board Chairman and Mr Giles Everist, received a base fee of $75,000 inclusive of superannuation for being a director of the Group. The Board Chairman, Mr Peter Watson, received a base fee of $140,000 inclusive of superannuation for the period and share based payments of $46,450. Mr Giles Everist received a base fee of $80,000 inclusive of superannuation.

An additional fee may be payable for a director (except for the Board Chairman) who is a chair of a Board committee. The payment of additional fees for serving on a committee recognises the additional time commitment required by NEDs who serve on sub-committees. No additional fees were paid for serving on a committee in the 2014 financial year. NEDs do not participate in the Company’s STI or LTI plans.

Directors’ Report

for the year ended 30 June 2014

Indemnification and insurance of officers and auditors

Insurance premiums

Under the Company’s Constitution, the Company indemnifies each current and former officer of the Group against certain liabilities and costs incurred by them as an officer of the Group, except where the liability arises out of conduct involving a lack of good faith. The Company also indemnifies each current and former officer of the Group against certain liabilities and costs incurred when the officer acts as an officer of another body corporate at the Company’s request and the liability or cost is incurred in that capacity. Neither indemnity extends to liabilities or costs from which the Company is prohibited from indemnifying current or former officers under the Corporations Act.

In addition the Company has entered into Deeds of Access, Indemnity and Insurance with certain officers of the Group. Under those Deeds, the Company agrees to matters including the following:

  • õ Indemnify the officer to the extent permitted by law and under the Company’s Constitution; and

  • õ Maintain a Director’s and Officer’s insurance policy.

Since the end of the previous financial year the Group has paid insurance premiums of $45,733.90 (2013: $48,627.41) in respect of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies.

Non-audit services

During the year PwC, the Group’s auditor, has performed certain other services in addition to their statutory duties.

The board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and in accordance with written advice provided by resolution of the audit committee, is satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services during the year by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

  • õ all non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Company and have been reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and

  • õ 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 the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards.

Details of the amounts paid to the auditor of the Group, PwC, and its related practices for audit and non-audit services provided during the year are set out below. In addition, amounts paid to other auditors for the statutory audit have been disclosed:

2014 Annual Report 37

Notes to the financial statements

1. Reporting entity

LogiCamms Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office is 433 Boundary Street, Brisbane, Australia. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2014 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group” and individually as “Group entities”) and the Group’s interest in associates and jointly controlled entities. The Group is primarily involved with the energy, resources and infrastructure sectors providing engineering project delivery and asset performance services primarily in Australia and New Zealand. Comparative information has been reclassified where appropriate to enhance comparability.

2. Basis of preparation

(a) Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001 . The consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 27 August 2014.

  • õ notes 6 and 12 – revenue recognition and project work in progress

  • õ note 16 – measurement of the recoverable amounts of cashgenerating units containing goodwill

  • õ note 17 – measurement of deferred consideration

  • õ note 20 – onerous leases

  • õ note 24 – measurement of share-based payments

(e) Changes in accounting policies

The Group has not changed its accounting policies since the end of the previous financial year.

3. Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities.

The Group has not elected to adopt early any accounting standards and/ or amendments.

(a) Basis of consolidation

(i) Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control is assessed in line with the policy disclosed in section (ii) below.

(b) Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for specific assets and liabilities to be measured at fair values.

(c) Functional and presentation currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/100 dated 10 July 1998 and in accordance with that Class Order, all financial information presented in Australian dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated.

(d) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

Acquisitions on or after 1 July 2009

For acquisitions, the Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as:

  • õ the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus

  • õ the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree; less

  • õ the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss. Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not re-measured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements are included in the following notes:

LogiCamms 38

Notes to the financial statements

(ii) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

(iii) Joint arrangements

Under AASB 11 Joint Arrangements investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures. The classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. The Group only has joint ventures. Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method (refer section (iv) below), after initially being recognised at cost in the consolidated balance sheet.

(iv) Equity method

Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the Group’s share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint ventures are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.

When the Group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in these entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

(b) Foreign currency

(i) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or

loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the year, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the year, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are generally recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to the functional currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve (translation reserve) in equity.

When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such items are considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the translation reserve in equity.

(c) Financial instruments

(i) Non-derivative financial instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in equity securities, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, and trade and other payables.

Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition nonderivative financial instruments are measured as described below.

A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Group’s contractual Rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and term deposits. Accounting for finance income and expense is discussed in note 3(m).

2014 Annual Report 39

Notes to the financial statements

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Other

Other non-derivative financial instruments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

(ii) Share capital

Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

Dividends

Dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared.

Treasury shares

Where share capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, net of any tax effects, is recognised as a deduction from equity.

(iii) Derivative Financial Instruments, including hedge accounting

During the previous financial year, the Group used a derivative financial instrument to hedge its foreign currency exposure in relation to the acquisition detailed in note 5. Other than that, the Group has not used and does not hold derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures.

(d) Property, plant and equipment

(i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognised net within “other income” in profit or loss.

(ii) Subsequent costs

The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

(iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

õ plant and equipment 3 – 10 years
õ building ft out costs 4 – 7 years
õ motor vehicles 4 – 5 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date.

(e) Intangible assets

(i) Goodwill

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree.

Subsequent measurement

Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. In respect of equity accounted investees, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment.

(ii) Software and Systems

Software systems expenditure is capitalised only if the costs can be measured reliably, future economic benefits are probable, and the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use the asset. The expenditure capitalised includes the direct labour and overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use.

Capitalised software expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

(iii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

(iv) Amortisation

Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful life applied is usually 4 years.

Notes to the financial statements

(f) Leased assets

Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.

Other leases are operating leases and the leased assets are not recognised on the Group’s balance sheet.

(g) Project work in progress

Project work in progress represents the gross unbilled amount expected to be collected from customers for contract work performed to date. It is measured at cost plus profit recognised to date (see note 3(k)(i)) less progress billings and recognised losses. Cost includes all expenditure related directly to specific projects and an allocation of fixed and variable overheads incurred in the Group’s contract activities based on normal operating capacity.

Project work in progress is presented as part of trade and other receivables in the balance sheet. If payments received from customers exceed the income recognised, then the difference is presented as deferred income in the balance sheet.

(h) Impairment

(i) Financial assets

A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. An impairment loss in respect of an available-for-sale financial asset is calculated by reference to its fair value.

Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in Groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.

All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any cumulative loss in respect of an available-for-sale financial asset recognised previously in equity is transferred to profit or loss.

An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost and available-for-sale financial assets that are debt securities, the reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For

goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use, recoverable amount is estimated annually.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. 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. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are Grouped together into the smallest Group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or Groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit”). The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

(i) Employee benefits

(i) Long-term employee benefits

The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods plus related on costs; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on AA credit-rated or government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations.

(ii) Short-term benefits

Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries, annual leave, long service leave and sick leave represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided to reporting date and are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the Group expects to pay as at reporting date including related oncosts, such as workers compensation insurance and payroll tax. Non-accumulating non-monetary benefits, such as medical care, housing, cars and free or subsidised goods and services, are expensed based on the net marginal cost to the Group as the benefits are taken by the employees.

A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under shortterm cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

2014 Annual Report 41

Notes to the financial statements

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(iii) Share-based payment transactions

The grant date fair value of options, Performance Rights or Share Appreciation Rights granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense over the contractual life of the option or right that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For sharebased payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

(j) Provisions

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable. An expected loss on a contract is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

(ii) Revenue from services

Revenue from services rendered is recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to internal surveys of work performed. Revenue from training courses is recognised when the course is completed.

(iii) Revenue from sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.

(l) Lease payments

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

(i) Onerous contracts

A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing the contract. Before a provision is established, the Group recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract (see note 3(h)(i)).

(ii) Warranties

A provision for warranty is usually recognised per project at its conclusion. At each reporting date, the overall provision is set based on average historical warranty related expenses and the usual contractual terms for warranties made.

(k) Revenue

(i) Revenue from projects

Contract revenue includes the initial amount agreed in the contract plus any variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and can be measured reliably. As soon as the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and expenses are recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract.

The stage of completion is assessed by reference to costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated cost for each contract. When the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is

Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

(m) Finance income and expense

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested and dividend income. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss on the date that the Group’s right to receive payment is established.

Finance expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions and impairment losses recognised on financial assets. All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

(n) Income tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

LogiCamms 42

Notes to the financial statements

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for:

  • õ Temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit.

  • õ Temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

  • õ Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

The measurement of deferred tax reflected the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

In determining the amount of current and deferred tax the Group takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. The Group believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open tax years based on its assessment of many factors, including interpretations of tax law and prior experience. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgements about future events. New information may become available that causes the Group to change its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities. Such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets; and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised at the same time as the liability to pay the related dividend is recognised.

(o) Goods and services tax

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position.

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

(p) Earnings per share

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible notes and share options or Rights granted to employees.

(q) Segment reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. The Group’s operating results as a whole are regularly reviewed by the Group’s Managing Director to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

(r) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2013. None of these have had a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

The IASB has issued a new standard for the recognition of revenue (IAS 18). The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer. The AASB has not yet issued an equivalent new standard. The Group has not yet considered the impact of the new rules on its revenue recognition policies and will undertake a detailed assessment in the near future. The Group expects to adopt the new standard from 1 July 2017.

The company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities are part of a tax-consolidated Group. As a consequence, all members of the taxconsolidated Group are taxed as a single entity. The head entity within the tax-consolidated Group is LogiCamms Limited.

Notes to the financial statements

4. Segment reporting

The results and financial position of the Group’s single operating segment, being engineering services, are prepared for the Managing Director on bases consistent with Australian Accounting Standards, and thus no additional disclosures in relation to the revenues, profit or loss, assets and liabilities and other material items have been made. The Company is domiciled in Australia, with operations located across Australia and in New Zealand.

Revenue and non-current assets are attributed to the above regions based on the revenue earned and non-current assets owned by the subsidiaries domiciled in each region and are as follows:

In thousands of AUD 2014 2013

Revenue from one customer of the Group represents $15,004,000 (2013: $10,195,000) of the Group’s total revenues for the year ended 30 June 2014.

5. Acquisitions

No acquisitions were made by the Group in the current financial year. In the previous financial year the Group made one acquisition.

On 21 May 2013 the Group acquired control of the New Zealand domiciled Independent Technology Limited (‘ITL’) for consideration of $17,988,000. The consideration paid was $9,520,000 cash, $4,298,000 of issued shares and the accrual of a profit earn out of $4,170,000. The fair value of the assets acquired on acquisition was $3,592,000 with the remainder recognised as goodwill on acquisition.

The acquisition of ITL was completed during May 2013 and, accordingly, the accounting at 30 June 2013 was completed on a provisional basis. The accounting was completed within 12 months with the outcome that $300,000 of the amount originally booked to goodwill was reclassified as an intangible asset called “Customer Contracts” which was amortised in full in the current financial year.

Impairment testing of goodwill

Goodwill is an intangible asset with an infinite life which is tested at least annually for impairment. For the purpose of impairment testing, impairment is considered at the cash generating unit level. The Group considers that it has one cash generating unit for the purpose of this standard and for the subsequent impairment testing of goodwill.

2014 Annual Report 51

Notes to the financial statements

16. Intangible assets (continued)

Cash-generating unit

The recoverable amount of the goodwill is based on a value in use calculation with respect to the cash generation unit and was determined by applying a 5 year net present value calculation of projected cash flows and a terminal value at the end of the fifth year. The recoverable amount was in excess of the carrying value of the goodwill, so no impairment loss was required. The calculation of value in use was determined having regard to the following key assumptions:

õ A pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flows of 16.81% (2013: 18.70%)

õ Expected future profits for the first year based on internal financial forecasts and reflect management’s expectations of continued growth

õ Future nominal revenue growth of 5.0% per year for year’s two to five (2013: 5.0%)

õ After the fifth year a terminal value was applied using a growth rate of 2.5% (2013: 1.5%)

The Group has considered reasonable sensitivities in relation to the achievement of these targets and based on those sensitivities, reduced the fair value of the deferred consideration by $2,311,000 during the financial year.

The Company does not have authorised capital or par value in respect of its issued shares. The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company. All shares rank equally with regard to the Company’s residual assets.

In the previous year, 3,306,225 shares ($4,298,000) were issued as a result of the acquisition of ITL.

During the year no shares (2013: 62,000 shares ($66,000)) were bought back under the on-market share buyback programme which commenced 21 February 2012. The timing and number of shares to be bought back depends on market conditions.

As at 30 June 2014, 1,162,000 (2013: 1,552,000) treasury shares included in the consolidated statements of financial position and changes in equity relate to shares acquired on-market by the Employee Share Trust. These shares will be held by the EST to meet future obligations to employees under the incentive plans upon vesting of granted Performance and Share Appreciation Rights (refer note 24).

The Group has also issued Performance Rights and Share Appreciation Rights (refer note 24).

Dividend franking account

The above available amounts are based on the balance of the dividend franking account at year-end adjusted for:

  • (a) franking debits that will arise from the refund of the current tax asset;

  • (b) franking debits that will arise from the payment of dividends recognised as a liability at the year end;

(c) franking credits that will arise from the receipt of dividends recognised as receivables by the tax consolidated Group at the year end; and

  • (d) franking credits that the entity may be prevented from distributing in subsequent years.

The ability to utilise the franking credits is dependent upon there being sufficient available profits to declare dividends. The impact on the dividend franking account of dividends proposed after the balance sheet date but not recognised as a liability is to reduce it by $1,068,000 (2013: $1,373,000).

Long Term Incentive Plan

During the year ended 30 June 2011 the Group established a Long Term Incentive Plan under which the Board at its discretion can offer Performance Rights and Share Appreciation Rights to Key Management Personnel. In addition, there remains a tranche of Performance Rights issued on 10 November 2011 which did not form part of the Long Term Incentive Plan. The terms and conditions of the Rights are as follows:

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

The terms of the Performance Rights issued on 10 November 2011 require that the recipient must remain in the continuous employment of the Company until the vesting date. These Rights have no exercise price and are to be settled by physical delivery of shares at a conversion ratio of 1:1.

In addition to the tenure condition noted above, the terms of the other Performance and Share Appreciation Rights have two performance conditions:

õ A relative total shareholder return measure over the performance period

õ An absolute earnings per share growth target over the performance period

The performance measures are mutually exclusive. Performance will be assessed over a period of three years. The exercise price for these Performance Rights is nil, while the effective exercise price of the Share Appreciation Rights is equal to the share price at grant, and the payoff is equivalent to the difference between the price at the end of the performance period, and the allocation share price, with the value settled in shares at the end of the performance period. No dividends are received on shares during the performance period.

Financial risk management

Overview

õ The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

õ Credit risk

  • õ Liquidity risk

õ Market risk

This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital.

Risk management framework

The Company’s board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework. The board of directors established the Audit and Risk Committee which oversees how management monitors and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group.

The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities.

The Audit and Risk Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group.

Notes to the financial statements

25. Financial instruments (continued)

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers as well as financial guarantees granted to customers. The Group is also exposed to credit risk from its financing activities including deposits with financial institutions.

Exposure to credit risk

The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the reporting period was:

of the reporting period was:
In thousands of AUD 2014 2013
Trade receivables (net of provision for impairment) 19,554 24,078

29,140 31,404
Cash and cash equivalents 12,150 13,124
41,290 44,528

Credit risks related to trade receivables

Credit risk related to trade receivables is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the Group’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry in which customers operate, has less of an influence on credit risk.

New customers are typically analysed individually for creditworthiness before credit terms are allowed. The Group’s review can include external ratings if necessary. For large contracts, credit worthiness is assessed as part of the process of submitting the bid and negotiating terms and conditions. Outside special terms required for large contracts, purchase limits are established for each customer, which represents the maximum open amount without requiring approval. Customers that fail to meet the Group’s benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Group only on a prepayment basis.

Most of the Group’s customers have either been transacting with the Group for over two years, are Government bodies, or large contracting companies. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and any credit concerns are highlighted to senior management. Large progress claims on construction contracts are monitored against the agreed contract conditions and the Group may consider ceasing work, in extreme cases, until any delayed payments are resolved.

Goods are sold subject to retention of title clauses, so that in the event of non-payment the Group may have a secured claim. The Group does not require collateral in respect of trade and other receivables.

The Group has established an allowance for impairment that represents their estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables.

Credit risk associated with project work in progress is managed by monthly commercial and performance reviews of each major project by senior management to ensure that the carrying value of each project’s work in progress is recoverable. Contracts are being billed in accordance with the contractual terms and resultant work in progress balances have been assessed as being fully recoverable.

The maximum exposure to credit risk for trade and other receivables (excluding provision for doubtful debts) by geographic region was as follows.

Balance at 30 June 1,517 2,369

The impairment loss at 30 June 2014 relates to specific invoices that the Group considers are at risk of being recovered. The allowance account in respect of trade receivables is used to record impairment losses unless the Group is satisfied that no recovery of the amount owing is possible; at that point the amount is considered irrecoverable and is written off against the financial asset directly.

The impairment provision related to debts that are not past due is based on current uncertainties and related risks within the industries in which the Group trades. The Group will continue to strongly pursue all debts provided for.

Credit risks related to financial instruments and cash deposits

Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Group’s Finance team. Investments of surplus funds are made with the Group’s bankers who have a credit rating by Standard & Poor’s rating agency of AA- or higher.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.

The Group manages this risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it always has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions. The Group ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational commitments in the short term including the servicing of financial obligations. The Group regularly forecasts cash flows to assess future liquidity requirements with sufficient time to hold discussions with the Group’s bankers, if such discussions are required.

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

Currency risk

The Group has no significant exposure with currency risk.

Interest rate risk

The Group’s borrowings are on fixed interest rates (finance leases). Interest rate risk is managed by ensuring that total interest rate cover is well in excess of minimum bank covenant requirements, to ensure the Group retains a high level of flexibility to absorb any adverse movements in interest rates.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments

A change of 200 basis points in interest rates would have increased (decreased) equity and profit by the amounts shown below. A sensitivity of 2% (2013: 2%) has been selected as this is considered reasonably possible. The Directors cannot nor do not seek to predict movements in interest rates. These sensitivities are shown for illustrative purposes only.

Fair values versus carrying amounts

The fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities shown in the balance sheet were not materially different at 30 June 2014 due to the short term nature of these financial assets and liabilities.

The Group has no financial instruments carried at fair value and therefore has not disclosed the fair value hierarchy.

Capital management

The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Board of Directors monitors the return on capital, which the Group defines as net operating income divided by total shareholders’ equity. The Board of Directors also monitors the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.

The Company will aim to distribute 40% – 60% of net profit after tax in the form of dividends. The ultimate dividend paid will be determined by the board after consideration of general business and financial conditions, working capital requirements, taxation position, and future capital expenditure requirements.

As at the balance date the Group had no debt facilities and had a bank guarantee facility of $7,000,000 (utilised $2,908,069) (2013: $7,000,000 (utilised $3,844,418)). This facility was secured by a fixed and floating charge over all the Company, its subsidiaries and all assets of the Group. The bank’s financial covenants imposed on the Group are as follows and have been met:

  1. Operating leverage : total liabilities to be less than 2.0 times the previous twelve months’ EBITDA;

  2. Ratio of net cash plus debtors less than 90 days divided by total drawn facilities (bank guarantees) to exceed 2.0 times; and

  3. Capital adequacy ratio (tangible net assets divided by total tangible assets) to exceed 40 percent.

26. Operating leases

Leases as lessee

Non-cancellable operating lease rentals are payable as follows:

The Group leases properties in Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne and Adelaide as well as in several regional locations and one in New Zealand. The leases typically run for a period of 2 to 10 years, with options to renew. Most leases increase annually to reflect market rentals or movement in the consumer price index. During the year ended 30 June 2014 $5,897,000 (2013 $4,216,000), inclusive of the provision for onerous lease of $1,900,000 (2013 nil), was recognised as an expense in the income statement in respect of operating leases.

Independent auditor’s report to the members of LogiCamms Limited

Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of LogiCamms Limited (the company), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration for LogiCamms Limited Group (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises the company and the entities it controlled at year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ responsibility 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 is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the consolidated entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

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

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
