Review of operations
Strong supplier relationships, astute investment, dedication to improvement in service standards and focus on delivery of quality products to end-users continue to underpin Wingara AG’s success.
Built on a foundation of strong and growing Asian demand for quality Australian agricultural products, our management and operational expertise is well supported by a liquid balance sheet.
Our innovative commercial approach and commitment to suppliers ensure Wingara AG will be able to maintain reliable access to quality raw products in the future.
Strategic acquisitions to support export growth have been made with the objective to enhance operating cashflow while managing portfolio risk. Further mergers and acquisitions opportunities will be assessed against analytical criteria to deliver high quality agricultural products to supply the strong demand from the Asian market through an innovative and integrated supply chain.
Energy and productivity efficiencies through well-researched infrastructure improvements and quality assurance at our Epsom site will ensure a smooth commissioning process at our industry leading Raywood facility.

Wingara AG Limited Directors' report 31 March 2018
(continued)
Review of operations (continued)
Highlights (continued)
Audited returns for the completed April to March financial year have returned a pleasing EBITDA of $1,088,848 on the back of revenues of $10,931,147.
This compares favourably with the previous year $604,948 (9 months), given the scale of investments and downtime required to upgrade the Epsom site, and to develop the new Raywood processing plant nearby. The use of the Epsom site has provided great experience as a testing ground to enable the company to improve process, staff development and production that will substantially de-risk the commissioning and subsequent operations of the Raywood site.
We produced 33,000 metric tonnes of hay for the financial year, up 19 per cent on export volumes compared to the previous year. This figure is in line with our boosted production target of 70,000mt by March 31 2019.
The continued exponential growth in Chinese demand (38% increase 2017, forecast further 25% increase in 2018) coupled with the stable markets of Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan provides the company with confidence of continued strong demand for quality primary and secondary food products. Our production targets and acquisition radar track these trends accurately and consistently.
Austco acquisition diversifies earnings base
The March acquisition of Austco Polar Cold Storage marked a first step forward in Wingara AG diversifying its earnings profile. The acquisition established the Company as a reliable, agricultural products supplier to receptive, stable markets. The addition of Austco continues to add diversification of revenue streams between the export and domestic markets. In addition the acquisition provides access to Austco’s long term tier one high quality produce clients in Australia.
After extensive due diligence, the $18.5 million purchase was completed at an effective EBITDA of 2.4 times, based on consistent annual earnings of more than $10 million over the last four years. Confidence in the acquisition was demonstrated by an oversubscribed private placement of $6.7 million in March.
Austco has a strong 30-year presence in blast freezing, temperature-controlled storage and local/international distribution. Its purchase exactly fits Wingara’s strategic model of marketing value added products through export accreditation facilities in multi regions based on multi currency.
Site development at Raywood moves ahead
Good planning and favourable weather have combined to put the development of the new 30-hectare Raywood hay processing and storage facility ahead of schedule.
The 11,000mt storage shed, located just 20 kilometres north of our primary Epsom facility near Bendigo, was completed in January. It will add substantially to Epsom’s current 35,000mt a year capacity when upgrades to buildings and processing machinery come on stream in the September 2018 quarter. Ultimately, the facility could expand to a processing capacity of 200,000mt a year.
The Epsom and Raywood plants will allow Wingara AG to be the industry leader in the Victorian oaten hay export sector. It also gives Wingara AG options to expand into processing, storing, and marketing other commodities (including wheat, barley, oats, canola, legumes).
Horsham site to consolidate processing expansion
In May 2017, we signed a contract with the Horsham Rural City Council to acquire a 20-hectare block in the city’s new industrial development.
The site gives us ready access to the Wimmera freight terminal and is already powered and watered.
Currently our immediate focus is the upgrade and expansion of the Epsom and Raywood facilities, the Horsham development will allow us to take additional advantage of the 2019/2020 hay season.

Remuneration report
The directors present the Wingara AG Limited 2018 remuneration report, outlining key aspects of our remuneration policy and framework, and remuneration awarded this financial period.
Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all Directors.
The report is structured as follows:
-
(a) Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
-
(b) Remuneration policy and link to performance
-
(c) Details of remuneration
-
(d) Service agreements
The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001 .
(a) Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
The objective of the consolidated entity's executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and conforms to the market best practice for the delivery of reward. The Board of Directors ('the Board') ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:
-
competitiveness and reasonableness
-
acceptability to shareholders
-
performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation
-
transparency
The Board is in the process of structuring an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the consolidated entity, including:
Alignment to shareholders' interests:
-
has economic profit as a core component of plan design
-
focuses on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of growth in share price, and delivering constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value
-
attracts and retains high calibre executives
Alignment to program participants' interests:
-
reflects competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth
-
rewards capability and experience
-
provides a clear structure for earning rewards
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-Executive Directors and executive remunerations are separate.
Non-Executive Directors remuneration
Fees and payments to Non-Executive Directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-executive Directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. The Board may, from time to time, receive advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure Non-Executive Directors' fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market.
ASX listing rules require the aggregate Non-Executive Directors remuneration be determined periodically by a general meeting. There has been no determination on the approved aggregate remuneration to date by shareholders.

Wingara AG Limited Directors' report 31 March 2018 (continued)
Remuneration report (continued)
(a) Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (continued)
Executive remuneration
The consolidated entity aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration based on their position and responsibility, which has both fixed and variable components.
The executive remuneration and reward framework has two components:
-
base pay and non-monetary benefits
-
other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave
The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration.
Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the Board, based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the consolidated entity and comparable market remunerations.
Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash, other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the consolidated entity and provides additional value to the executive.
(b) Remuneration policy and link to performance
Currently the remuneration of non-executive directors consists solely of an un-risked element (base pay) which is not linked to the performance of the company in the current or previous reporting periods. Executives however are remunerated through a mix of un-risked remuneration (base pay) and a risked element through company options issued under the companies employee share and option plan (ESOP) which is linked to the performance of the company.
Statutory performance indicators
We aim to align our executive remuneration to our strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder wealth. The consolidated entity was formed on 27 January 2016 and thus any prior financial performance is considered irrelevant to the existing consolidated entity. During the year ended 31 March 2018, the net loss after tax was $434,063 (nine months ended 31 March 2017: $176,243), with with closing share price at each period end to be $0.370 and $0.285 per share, respectively.

Further information relating to loans to related parties and key management personnel is set out in note 15.
(i) Classification as trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold in the ordinary course of business. Other receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. If collection of the amounts is expected in one year or less they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 to 60 days and therefore are all classified as current. The Group’s other accounting policies for trade and other receivables are outlined in notes 19(k).
(ii) Impairment and risk exposure
Information about the impairment of trade and other receivables, their credit quality and the group’s exposure to credit risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk can be found in note 8.

(i) Impairment tests for goodwill & export license
The recoverable amount of the CGU to which goodwill & export license was allocated, has been determined by a value-in-use calculation using a discounted cash flow model, based on a 2-year projection period approved by management and extrapolated for a further 4 years using a steady rate, together with a terminal value.
Key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is most sensitive.
The following key assumptions were used in the discounted cash flow model: (a) 14.63% post-tax discount rate (2017: 12.05%); (b) 5.00% per annum projected revenue growth rate (2017: 5%); (c) 49% gross margin (2017: 45%).
-
The post-tax discount rate represents the current market assessment of the risks specific to the CGU, taking into consideration the time value of money and individual risks of the underlying asset that have not be incorporated in the cash flows model. The discount rate calculation is based on the specific circumstances of the CGU, and is derived from its weighted average cost of capital (‘WACC’). The WACC includes both cost of debt and equity. The cost of debt is based on the interest-bearing borrowings the CGU is obliged to service. The cost of equity is based on the expected return on investment by the Company’s shareholders. In calculation of the cost of equity, management has accounted for the segment-specific risk by applying the beta factor, which is publicly available market data.
-
Revenue growth rate of 5.00% in subsequent years is derived based on a combination of historical performance references, market outlooks and current expansion and development plan of the business.
-
The estimation of the annual operating costs and overheads increase is consistent with the revenue growth as majority of the costs are variable by nature.
-
The estimated terminal value growth rate was set at 2.00% (2017: 2.00%).
There were no other key assumptions.
(ii) Sensitivity
As disclosed in note 19(a)(v), the directors have made judgements and estimates in revenue growth and operating costs/overheads level in respect of impairment testing of goodwill and export license. Should these judgements and estimates not occur the resulting goodwill and export license carrying amount may decrease.
Management believes that other reasonable changes in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount of goodwill and export license is based would not cause the cash-generating unit’s carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount.

8 Financial risk management
(a) Financial instrument risk exposure and management
The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group's risk management objectives and policies and has the responsibility for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Group’s finance function. The Board receives quarterly reports through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets.
The principal financial instruments used by the Group, from which financial instrument risk arises include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, other financial assets, trade and other trade payables and borrowings. The directors consider these to be the material financial instrument risks facing the Group:
(i) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s commercial bill & loan as disclosed in note .
The Group manages its interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings. The Group works closely with reputable financial institutions to achieve the most optimal facilities available on the market which can be used to fund the Group's operations at an affordable cost of debt.
As at 31 March 2018, the Group held $4,334,800 in variable borrowing rates (31 March 2017: $3,195,028). Should the market interest rates fluctuate by 50 basis points, there would be no material impact to the Group.

8 Financial risk management (continued)
(a) Financial instrument risk exposure and management (continued)
(ii) Commodity price risk
The Group is affected by the price volatility of hay which is a type of commodity. Its operating activities require the ongoing trading of hay and therefore require a continuous supply of hay. Due to the nature of the commodity being significantly seasonal, the Group mitigates the risk of hay price fluctuating unfavourably by working closely with its suppliers to forecast supply volume in upcoming season, along with customer demands. Base on this assessment, management adjusts its level of purchase and storage to maintain a reasonable level of inventory in stock to meet with future demands and avoid any potential shortage due to bad weather. Prices paid to suppliers for inventory are fixed for the life of the contract and re-negotiated once the contract has finished.
(iii) Foreign exchange risk
With the majority of its export sales denominated in US Dollars (US$), fluctuations in the US$ may impact on the Group’s financial results and its cash flows. The Group does not engage in any hedging or derivative transactions to manage foreign exchange risk, but instead manages this risk through cash flow forecasting and maintaining adequate reserves of available lines of US$ credit for its working capital.
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on the receivables and US$ bank accounts denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operations.
As at 31 March 2018, the Group held an Australian dollars equivalent of $2,802,086 in US$ denominated cash balance (31 March 2017: $2,932,785) and $313,922 in US$ denominated trade receivables (31 March 2017: $477,810). As at this date, had the US$ moved by 5%, this would have increased or decreased profit in the Group by $155,800 (nine months ended 31 March 2017: $170,531).
(iv) Credit risk
Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group.
The Group manages credit risk and the losses which could arise from default by ensuring that financial assets such as cash at bank are held with reputable organisations. Management monitors the approval of new credit limit and collection process.
The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by the Group's senior management having continuous discussion with counter parties to thoroughly assess their financial position and ability to make repayment
The normal credit term in all sale contracts is up to 30 days, based on which management has assessed the impairment of outstanding receivables balance at 31 March 2018. For outstanding balance greater than the normal term at 31 March 2018 and 31 March 2017, management has worked with senior management of the respective counter parties to implement a more reasonable repayment schedule.
(v) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the Group’s management of working capital and the finance charges and principal repayments on its debt instruments. It is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due.
The Group’s policy is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due. To achieve this aim, it seeks to maintain sufficient cash balances (or agreed facilities) to meet all current obligations which are due within the next 12 months.

(a) Risk management
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to
-
safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and
-
maintain an optimal mix between debt and equity to minimise the cost of capital
In order to achieve this objective, the consolidated entity seeks to maintain adequate levels of external borrowings from reputable financial institutions and further contribution of shareholders through capital raising to enable the Group to meet its working capital and strategic investment needs. In making decisions to adjust its capital structure to achieve these aims, management considers various alternatives from issue of new equity/debt instruments such as shares or options, convertible notes to extending the current debt facility.
(b) Dividends
During the year ended 31 March 2018, no dividends were declared or paid by the Group.

19 Summary of significant accounting policies
This note provides a list of all significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the Group (or the "consolidated entity") consisting of Wingara AG Limited and its subsidiaries.
(a) Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 . Wingara AG Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
(i) Compliance with IFRS
The consolidated financial statements of the Wingara AG Limited Group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
(ii) Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost and accrual basis.
(iii) New and amended standards adopted by the group
The Group has early adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when a performance obligation has been satisfied. This occurs when the good or service transfers to the customer by the Group.
The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on reported amounts in these financial statements.

(a) Basis of preparation (continued)
(iv) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 March 2018 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.
| Title of standard |
Nature of change | Impact | Date of adoption by group |
|---|---|---|---|
| AASB 9 Financial Instruments |
AASB 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities and includes a forward-looking ‘expected loss’ impairment model and a substantially-changed approach to hedge accounting. These requirements improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement of financial assets compared with the requirements of AASB 139. |
Management has considered the measurement requirements of AASB 9 in conjunction with the existing convertible note agreements in place. Management have determined that there will be no material impact to the accounts as the convertible notes will be repaid or converted before the standard comes into effect. |
Accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2018 |
| AASB 16 Leases |
AASB 16 was issued in February 2016. It will result in almost all leases being recognised on the balance sheet, as the distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are recognised. The only exceptions are short term and low-value leases. The accounting for lessors will not significantly change. |
Management has considered the recognition and measurement requirements of AASB16 in conjunction with the existing operating lease agreements between the Group and its suppliers. Based on this assessment management have concluded that there will be a material impact to the financial statements when AASB 16 is adopted and applied, which is likely to be the value of operating commitment in Note 11b being included in the statement of financial position. |
Mandatory for financial years commencing on or after 1 April 2019. At this stage, the Group does not intend to adopt the standard before its effective date. |
There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

19 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(a) Basis of preparation (continued)
(v) Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The following key estimates and judgements were made in these consolidated financial statements:
-
Goodwill and export license: the consolidated entity tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill and export license have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated below. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows.
-
Valuation of share-based payment expense: the value attributed to share options issued is an estimate calculated using an appropriate mathematical formula based on an option pricing model. The choice of models and the resultant option value require assumptions to be made in relation to the likelihood and timing of the conversion of the options to share and the value of volatility of the price of the underlying shares. Refer to note 16 for more details.
-
Deferred tax asset : the Group's accounting policy for taxation requires management's judgment in assessing whether deferred tax assets are recognised on the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from un-recouped tax losses and temporary differences, are recognised only where it is considered more likely than not that they will be recovered, which is dependent on the generation of sufficient future taxable profits in the Australian tax jurisdiction.
-
Capitalisation of other costs against property, plant and equipment : The Group’s accounting policy for property, plant and equipment requires managements judgment in assessing directly attributable costs, which are incurred in respect of acquisition and commissioning of new assets. These can include, labour costs, inventory used for testing and any other applicable expenses determined by management.
(f) Reclassification of expenses
Wingara AG Limited decided in the current financial year to change the classification of certain expense items in the consolidated statement of profit or loss to provide more relevant information to its stakeholders. The comparative information has been reclassified accordingly.
(b) Principles of consolidation
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 (refer to note 19(h).
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

19 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(c) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.
The Group continues to operate in one segment, acting as product processor and marketer of agricultural products in Australia. The segment details are therefore fully reflected in the body of the consolidated financial statements.
(d) Foreign currency translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars ($), which is Wingara AG Limited's functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a net basis within other income or other expenses.
(e) Revenue recognition
The core principle of AASB 15 is that revenue is recognised on a basis that reflects the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration the Group expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
Revenue is recognised by applying a five-step process outlined in AASB 15 which is as follows:
Step 1: Identify contract with a customer;
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract and determine at what point they are satisfied; Step 3: Determine the transaction price;
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; Step 5: Recognise revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied
Following the adoption of AASB 15, the Group’s revenue recognition accounting policy is that: The performance obligation is satisfied when goods or service transfers to the customer.
(f) Income tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
42
Wingara AG Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 March 2018 (continued)
19 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(f) Income tax (continued)
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company's subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Wingara AG Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
(g) Leases
Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease's inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other short-term and long-term payables. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the asset's useful life or over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term.
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group as lessee are classified as operating leases (note 11). Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
(h) Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the
-
fair values of the assets transferred
-
liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business
-
equity interests issued by the Group
-
fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, and
-
fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.
43
Wingara AG Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 March 2018 (continued)
19 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(h) Business combinations (continued)
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
The excess of the
-
consideration transferred,
-
amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity, and
-
acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity
over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.
(i) Impairment of assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
(j) Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.
(k) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. See note for further information about the group’s accounting for trade receivables.
(l) Inventories
Hay is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprise of costs incurred by the company to purchase hays, including inward freight costs. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on basis of weighted average costs. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Where applicable, inventory which is used in the testing of new machines is capitalised into the cost of the equipment to help bring the machine into working order and then depreciated over it’s useful life.

Wingara AG Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 March 2018 (continued)
19 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(m) Financial instruments
(i) Recognition and initial measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the consolidated entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the consolidated entity commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs.
(ii) Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial assets are classified on initial recognition as those to be subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or cost. Financial liabilities are classified as those to be subsequently measured at fair value or amortised cost.
(iii) Impairment
At the end of each reporting year, the consolidated entity assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
(iv) De-recognition
Financial assets are de-recognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expire or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the consolidated entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are de-recognised where the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
(n) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition and commissioning of property plant and equipment. This can include purchase of machinery, labour costs, inventory used for testing and any other applicable expenses determined by management.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
The depreciation methods and periods used by the group are disclosed in note 5(a).
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (note 19(i)).
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, it is Group policy to transfer any amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings.
Where property, plant and equipment is still in construction and considered capital works-in-progress, the asset will be carried on the balance sheet and will begin depreciation once it’s useful life begins.
45
Wingara AG Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 March 2018 (continued)
19 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(o) Intangible assets
(i) Goodwill
Goodwill is measured as described in note 19(h). Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortised but it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose. The units or groups of units are identified at the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, being the operating segments (note 1).
(ii) Trademarks and licences
Separately acquired trademarks and licences are shown at historical cost. Trademarks, licenses and customer contracts acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. They have an indefinite useful life and are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. These assets with indefinite useful life are tested for impairment on an annual basis.
(p) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 to 90 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
(q) Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, the loans or borrowings are classified as non-current.
(r) Convertible notes
AASB 139 requires that convertible notes are assessed based on their characteristics and that each component of the convertible note be separated and accounted for as required. In assessing convertible notes on issue, management consider whether there are any components with equity or derivative characteristics. Where a convertible note on which the number of shares to be issued varies based on a non financial variable, the conversion option does not meet the definition of a derivative and instead the convertible note, in its entirety is carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method as required by AASB 139.
(s) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
(t) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
46
Wingara AG Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 March 2018 (continued)
19 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(u) Employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the consolidated statement of financial position.
(v) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(w) Loss per share
(i) Basic loss per share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing:
-
the profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares.
-
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.
(x) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
(y) Share-based payment
Share-based compensation benefits may be provided through the issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the Wingara Employee Share and Option Plan. Options are also granted to employees and consultants in accordance with the terms of their respective employment and consultancy agreements. Any options granted are made in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Employee Share and Option Plan (ESOP).
The fair value of options granted under employment and consultancy agreements are recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options.
The fair value at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the non-tradeable nature of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.
(z) Parent entity financial information
The financial information for the parent entity, Wingara AG Limited, disclosed in note 13 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below.

Wingara AG Limited Independent auditor’s report to members
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Wingara AG Limited (the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group)), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2018, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 March 2018 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

How our audit addressed it | |
As a result of the reverse acquisition that occurred in the 2016 financial year and the accounting parent being Elect Performance Group Pty Ltd, the entity has a significant amount of intangible assets by way of an export licence, which is included in the Group’s single Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”). Given the value, there is a risk that the entity may not trade in line with budgeted forecasts, resulting in the carrying amount of the export licence exceeding the recoverable amount and therefore requiring impairment. The recoverable amount of the CGU has been calculated based on value-in-use. This recoverable amount uses discounted cash flow forecasts in which the Directors make judgements over certain key inputs, and for example but not limited to revenue growth, discount rates applied, and profitability. Overall due to the high level of judgement involved, and the significant carrying amounts involved, we have determined that this is a key judgemental area that ouraudit concentrated on. |

Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group’s report for the year ended 31 March 2018, but does not include the financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible
for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
