Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the half year ended 31 December 2018

 

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies

Statement of compliance

The half-year financial report are for the 6 months ended 31 December 2018. They have been prepared in accordance with IAS34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. They do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018.

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the company’s 2018 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2018 other than as disclosed below.

The accounting policies are consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

When preparing the interim financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results.

The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the interim financial statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the Group’s last annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018. The only exception is the estimate of the provision for income taxes which is determined in the interim financial statements using the estimated average annual effective income tax rate applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period.

Revenue Recognition

The Group early adopted IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 July 2015.

Revenue from the sale of goods, including communications and networking devices, are recognised at the time goods are dispatched to customers.

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised when the service is provided to the customer.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.

Finance income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. These requirements improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement of financial assets compared with the requirements of IAS 39.

The Group has adopted IFRS 9 from 1 July 2018 and will not restate comparative information as permitted by the Standard.

(i) Classification and Measurement

The Group did not have any impact on its balance sheet or equity on applying the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9. Financial assets the Group holds at fair value continue to be measured at fair value. Trade and other receivables are held to collect contractual cash flows and these contractual cash flows are solely payments of principle and interest. These receivables are measured at amortised cost.

(ii) Impairment

IFRS 9 introduced an expected credit loss model when assessing impairment of financial instruments. For the Group, this resulted in a change in how the impairment of trade receivables is assessed.

The revised methodology for calculation of impairment did not have a significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (Continued)

(iii) Hedge Accounting

All open hedge relationships as at the balance date will continue. There were no changes to designations or reclassifications between Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Hedge Reserve under the new standard.

Note 2 – Segment Information

The Group has two reporting segments: Telecommunications Infrastructure Equipment and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) formerly known as M2M and the Broadband business. In identifying its operating segments, management generally follows the Group’s product mix, which represent the main products and services provided by the Group.

Following the commencement of rolling out the Network Termination Device Business, the information reported to the Chief Decision Maker for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance, is separate financial information on each operating segment, being the Broadband business, the M2M business and the Network Termination Device Business. In accordance with IFRS 8, for financial statements presentation purposes, the M2M business and the Network Termination Device Business operating segments have been aggregated into a single reportable segment of M2M taking into account the following factors:

 

  these operating segments have similar economic characteristics;

 

  the nature of the products and their production process is similar;

 

  the type of customer for these services is similar;

 

  the methods used to distribute the products are similar;

 

  the long-term gross profit margins are similar; and

 

  the regulatory environment is similar.

As a result of the above, the Directors have determined there are two reportable segments, being the Broadband business and the Telco Infrastructure Equipment and IIOT (M2M) business.

Note 5 – Issuances, Repurchases and Repayments of Equity Securities

Issued Capital at 31 December 2018 amounted to $65,058,928 (146,329,906 ordinary shares). There were no issues, repurchases and repayments of debt securities or equity securities in the half year.

Note 6 – Events Occurring After Reporting Date

On the 22nd February the Group announced its proposed acquisition by Casa Systems Inc. for a cash consideration of $1.10 per share and entered into a scheme of arrangement with Casa. Following the successful shareholder vote on the 18th June 2019 and subsequent court approval on the 20th June 2019 the scheme became effective. Implementation of scheme occurred on 1 July 2019 and following that the Group was removed from the official list of Australian Stock Exchange Limited on 2 July 2019.

Due to the acquisition and de-listing of the company from the ASX the Group had to escalate a charge of $0.4 million in relation to Share Appreciation Rights (SAR’s) issued to its Key Management Personnel as the SARs were cancelled.

During the second half of financial year 2019, the Group recorded an impairment provision of $2.8 million against the carrying values of its capitalised development assets which are classified as intangibles. The impairment related to a specific pre-launch project for which the Group couldn’t materialise orders which were contractually committed and hence deemed the asset impaired. Casa System’s, the parent company of the Group (US based and NASDAQ listed entity) applies US GAAP and under its accounting policies all development costs are expensed.

The Group had the following director appointments and retirements since the reporting date and to the date of this report:

Note 8 – Acquisition of Subsidiary

There were no acquisitions of controlled entities during the period.

Note 9 – Fair Value Hierarchy

IFRS 13 requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the fair value hierarchy. NetComm Wireless Limited’s cash flow hedges are classed as level 2 as the inputs for fair value measurement are based on observable market data (observable inputs).

The Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at 31 December 2018 on a recurring basis are as follows:

Forward Exchange Options USD 2,000,000 Forward

Exchange Contracts USD 8,190,610

Measurement of fair value of forward contracts

The Group’s foreign currency forward contracts are not traded in active markets. The fair values of most of these contracts are estimated using a valuation technique that maximises the use of observable market inputs, e.g. market exchange and interest rates and are included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Group did not measure any financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis as at 31 December 2018.
