Interim Consolidated Financial Report – Half-year ended 30 June 2017

Volt Power Group Limited

==> picture [41 x 19] intentionally omitted <==

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

The directors of the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the Group) consisting of Volt Power Group Limited (“Volt” or “the Company”) and subsidiaries submit their half year report for the six months ended 30 June 2017.

1. Directors

The names of the Company’s directors in office during the half-year and until the date of this report are set out below. Directors were in office for this entire period unless otherwise stated.

  • S. Higgins – Chair (appointed 28 April 2017)

  • A. Boyd – Managing Director (appointed 28 April 2017)

  • P. Torre (appointed 28 April 2017)

  • R. Phillips (resigned 28 April 2017)

  • P. Avery (resigned 28 April 2017)

  • J. Dekker (resigned 28 April 2017)

2. Corporate and operational review

  • This Interim Consolidated Financial Report has been prepared on the basis that Volt and its controlled entities are going concerns for financial reporting purposes.

  • On 10 May 2017, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Enerji Holdings Pty Ltd (“Enerji Holdings”) exited administration, upon the effectuation of a Deed of Company Arrangement (the “Subsidiary DOCA”). All claims of Enerji Holding’s creditors, prior to the appointment of the administrator, have now been extinguished.

  • On 19 May 2017, the Company exited administration, upon the effectuation of a Deed of Company Arrangement (the “DOCA”). All claims of creditors (except for any excluded claims) against the Company have now been extinguished.

  • A claim by Opcon Energy Systems AB (Opcon) was excluded under the DOCA (Excluded Claim). A separate claim from Opcon was made against Enerji Holdings under the Subsidiary DOCA. The administrators of the Subsidiary DOCA considered the claim made by Opcon and made a final determination against the Subsidiary DOCA. The Company, having undertaken due investigations and obtained appropriate advice, does not consider that Opcon has a valid basis for a claim against the Company nor its subsidiaries (other than Enerji Holdings) on the basis that none of those entities were parties to contractual arrangements with Opcon. There is a risk that Opcon may continue to press a claim or commence legal proceedings against the Company in respect to this matter. Any such claim against the Company will be vigorously defended.

  • At a general meeting of shareholders on 28 April 2017, it was resolved for the Company to undertake a capital raising via a private placement of shares to ECM and parties procured by ECM at an issue price of $0.001 per share to raise $5,600,000 before costs (the “Recapitalisation”).

  • The Recapitalisation was completed and 5,600,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares were issued on 2 June 2017.

  • At the Company’s Annual General Meeting, held on 31 May 2017, members resolved via special resolution to change the company name from Enerji Ltd to Volt Power Group Limited. This name change took effect from 1 June 2017.

  • The Company’s shares were reinstated to trading on the ASX from Wednesday 14 June 2017 (ASX reinstatement).

3. Principal activities

Upon exiting administration on 19 May 2017, the principal activities of Volt were:

  • (a) planning for the commencement of a detailed process engineering review which will focus on, amongst other matters, process flow rates, efficiency and reliability enhancements and configuration of the ATEN technology;

  • (b) entering into discussions with various third parties to negotiate the execution of ATEN technology integration and related power purchase agreements;

  • (c) continuing the Company's pre-administration activities in relation to the expansion of its power generation footprint through the development and/or acquisition of micro-grid power supply solutions and other power generation assets that can further the exploitation and roll-out of the ATEN technology;

  • (d) engaging with ECM with a view to entering into a new strategic partnership arrangement; and

  • (e) enhancing the capacity and capability of the Company in power generation technology development and engineering, project delivery and on-going maintenance services.

In addition to the activities detailed above, the Board is actively seeking out complementary assets, investments and businesses in the energy and infrastructure sector that will generate additional shareholder value.

  • Gain on effectuation of subsidiary DOCA of $2,419,475; and

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2017

1. Corporate Information

The interim consolidated financial statements of Volt Power Group Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) for the six months ended 30 June 2017 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 23 August 2017.

Volt Power Group Limited is a for profit company limited by shares, domiciled in Australia, whose shares are publicly traded. The address of the Company’s registered office is Unit B9, 431 Roberts Rd Subiaco WA 6008. The Group principal activities are primarily focused on power generation technology and solutions.

2. Basis of preparation and changes to the Group’s accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation

The interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2017 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting .

The interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements as at 31 December 2016.

(b) Basis of measurement

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016 were prepared on a non-going concern basis, due to the Company being in administration.

(c) Incomplete financial information 31 December 2016

The 2016 Financial Report was prepared by Directors who were in office for the entire period presented in that report, however their duties and responsibilities were suspended from the date the Company entered administration, 18 October 2016. For the period in which the Company was in administration the Directors did not have oversight or control over the group’s financial reporting systems, including (but not limited to) being able to obtain access to complete accounting records of the Company. Every reasonable effort was made by the Directors to ascertain the true position of the Company as at 31 December 2016, however the Directors were of the opinion that it is not possible to state that the audited remuneration disclosures, financial statements and accompanying notes were in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.

(d) Functional and presentation currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and each of its subsidiaries.

(e) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

(f) Changes in accounting policies

With the exception noted in the basis of measurement above and other than as noted below the same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in these financial statements as compared with the previous annual financial statements.

3. New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as of 1 January 2017.

The nature and effect of these changes are discussed below. Although these amendments apply for the first time in 2017, they do not have a material impact on the interim consolidated financial statements of the Group. The nature and impact of each new amendment is described below:

AASB 2016-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses

The amendments clarify that an entity needs to consider whether tax law restricts the sources of taxable profits against which is may make deductions on the reversal of that deductible temporary difference. Furthermore, the amendments provide guidance on

Interim Consolidated Financial Report – Half-year ended 30 June 2017

10

Volt Power Group Limited

==> picture [41 x 19] intentionally omitted <==

how an entity should determine future taxable profits and explain the circumstances in which taxable profit may include the recovery of some assets for more than their carrying amount.

Entities are required to apply the amendments retrospectively. However, on initial application of the amendments, the change in the opening equity of the earliest comparative period may be recognised in opening retained earnings (or in another component of equity, as appropriate), without allocating the change between opening retained earnings and other components of equity. Entities applying this relief must disclose that fact.

These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 with early application permitted. If an entity applies the amendments for an earlier period, it must disclose that fact. The application of these amendments had no material impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.

AASB 2016-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 107

The amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows are part of the IASB’s Disclosure Initiative and require an entity to provide disclosures that enables users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes. On initial application of the amendment, entities are not required to provide comparative information for preceding periods. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017, with early application permitted. Application of amendments will result in additional disclosure provided by the Group in the Group’s annual financial statements ending 31 December 2017.

The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued by is not yet effective.

4. Segment information

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of Volt Power Group Limited. The Group has determined that it has one operating segment.

Convertible notes - unsecured

On 29 March 2016 the Company entered into a USD$400,000 convertible loan facility with Magna Equities II LLC (Magna). The Facility had a term of 12 months and was interest free. The Facility had a 10% establishment fee (USD$40,000), which was capitalised into the principal outstanding.

Under the terms of the Loan Agreement and Subscription Agreement under the Facility, Magna had the right to subscribe for Enerji shares at a price equal to the lesser of:

  • i. a 20% discount to the lowest volume weighted average price (VWAP) in the five days prior to subscription; or

  • ii. a fixed price of $A0.035.

The opening AUD value of the facility was recorded at $519,644, plus an establishment fee of $51,964 was recorded as an unsecured convertible note to Magna for the year. During the period to 31 December 2016 Magna subscribed for 20,402,704 shares with a fair value of $380,117 which included a reduction in loan liability of $293,987 and finance costs of $86,130. At 31 December 2016 USD$220,000 (including establishment fee) remained outstanding and an unrealised loss on this liability of $28,057 was recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

This liability was extinguished in full as a result of the effectuation of the DOCA.

Risk management activities

The Group financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks and accounts payable.

The Board of Directors analyse financial risk exposure at Board Meetings to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts.

The Board’s overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Group in meeting its financial targets, whilst minimizing potential adverse effects on financial performance.

16. Commitments and contingencies

(a) Bank Guarantees

Pursuant to the Deed of Release from the previous power purchase agreement with Horizon Power a bank guarantee was required. A cash-backed bank guarantee was provided as security, resulting in $220,000 being deposited with ANZ against the guarantee.

Horizon Power submitted a proof of debt claim to the EHPL Administrator for a value of at least $216,716 (“Horizon Claim”). The Horizon Claim was accounted for in the Company’s Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.

The effectuation of the EHPL DOCA triggered the bank guarantee to be called by Horizon Power, which extinguished the Horizon Claim.

(b) Claims contingency

A claim by Opcon Energy Systems AB (Opcon) against the Company was excluded under the DOCA (Excluded Claim). A separate claim from Opcon was made against the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Enerji Holdings Pty Ltd, under the Subsidiary DOCA. The administrators of the Subsidiary DOCA considered the claim made by Opcon and made a final determination against Enerji Holdings Pty Ltd pursuant to the Subsidiary DOCA. The amount of the claim at 31 December 2016 was $2,243,231. The Company, having undertaken due investigations and obtained appropriate advice, does not consider that Opcon has a valid basis for any additional claim against the Company nor its subsidiaries (other than Enerji Holdings Pty Ltd) on the basis that none of those entities were parties to contractual arrangements with Opcon. There is a risk that Opcon may continue to press a claim or commence legal proceedings against the Company in respect to this matter. Any such claim against the Company will be vigorously defended.

17. Events occurring after the reporting period

Brendon Morton resigned as Company Secretary on 22 August 2017 and Ian Sydney was appointed as Company Secretary on 22 August 2017.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2017 that has significantly affected the group’s operations, results or state of affairs, or may do so in future years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Volt Power Group Limited

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Volt Power Group Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2017, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year’s end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with 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 half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2017, and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Volt Power Group Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

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

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Volt Power Group, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee.

Basis for Qualified Conclusion

Comparatives

Attention is drawn to the comparative figures in the consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2016. As stated in note 2(c) of the financial report, on the 18[th] October 2016, the Company (Enerji Ltd) was placed into Administration (subject to a Deed of Company Arrangement) and the duties and responsibilities of the Directors were suspended from the date the Company entered into Administration. For the period in which the Company was in Administration the Directors did not have oversight or control over the Group’s financial reporting systems, including (but not limited to) being able to obtain access to complete accounting records. As a result, we did not have access to the complete books and financial records of the consolidated entity, and this caused us to disclaim our audit opinion on the financial report for the year ended 31 December 2016. Our conclusion on the current year’s financial report is also modified because of the possible effect of this matter on the comparability of the current period’s figures and the corresponding figures.

Current year 30 June 2017

Attention is also drawn to the gain on effectuation of the Deed of Company Arrangement of $3,551,950 recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the half-year ended 30 June 2017. As a result of the matters outlined in the comparatives paragraph above, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate review evidence to satisfy ourselves as to the completeness of this amount. Our review conclusion has been modified accordingly.

Qualified Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the “Basis for Qualified Conclusion” paragraph, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Volt Power Group Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (i) Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
