121、ariable pay that includes both short and long term incentives,with an appropriate balance of at-risk remuneration.The Companys Annual Remuneration review was carried out in August 2020.This review establishing strata grades within the Company,and allocations for fixed remuneration,short-term incenti
122、ve(STI)and long term incentive(LTI)applicable to each strata grade.The percentage allocations between fixed remuneration,STI and LTI varies between the strata grades,with an emphasis on higher at-risk STI and LTI elements for more senior executives.A relationship between Company performance and remu
123、neration has been developed and implemented,with the STI or LTI component of remuneration delivered on a performance-linked basis,as either.Equity issues to executives,with performance conditions based on financial performance,share price performance and duration of employment milestones,and In some
124、 cases cash bonuses,which are also financial performance linked providing a clear structure for earning rewardsThis approach provides a clear structure for earning rewards.The Board has a Nomination and Remuneration Committee which provides advice on remuneration and incentive policies and practices
125、 and makes specific recommendations on remuneration packages and other terms of employment for the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer,the Non-Executive Directors and other senior executives.During the year,the Company commenced an active Board rejuvenation program,recognising the need to
126、ensure that the Boards skillset and governance structure remains fit for purpose reflective of SciDevs growth aspirations.As part of the Board rejuvenation process,the Board appointed an independent,external governance advisory group to conduct a comprehensive review of the Companys Board and Commit
127、tee structures and memberships and performance of the Chairman and Directors.The Board and Governance Review process,conducted by Guerdon and Associates,has provided useful insight into the Companys Board and Governance mechanisms.Constructive initiatives have been identified that,over time,will 21S
128、CIDEV LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021be implemented to ensure SciDevs governance structure remains fit for purpose relative to its growth aspirations.NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS REMUNERATIONFees and payments to the Non-executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on,and the responsibilities of,the N
129、onexecutive Directors.The Board undertakes a review of Non-executive Directors fees and payments annually.The independent review process described above will guide Non-executive Director roles and responsibilities moving forward.Separate from the Board rejuvenation process outlined above,during H1FY
130、2021 the Board commissioned an independent,external review of Non-executive Directors remuneration levels by Guerdon Associates.The outcomes of the review process has validated that the fees paid to Non-executive Directors are below the median for peer companies.Non-executive Directors fees are dete
131、rmined within an aggregate Non-executive Directors cash remuneration limit,which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders.The current limit of A$400,000 was approved by shareholders at the Companys 2007 Annual General Meeting held on 14 November 2007.The amount paid to Non-executive
132、Directors of the parent entity(SciDev Limited)during the year to 30 June 2021 was$231,032(2020:$204,562).In addition,Non-executive Directors are entitled to participate in issues of securities pursuant to the SciDev Employee Share Scheme(the SciDev ESS).The value of any securities granted to Non-exe
133、cutive Directors are not included in the aggregate cash remuneration limit as they are not cash-based payments.In the case where Directors seek equity-based remuneration over cash-based remuneration,consideration will be given to such request and,in any case,shareholder approval would be required fo
134、r any such equity-based remuneration for Directors.During the 2021 financial year the Company granted no securities to Non-executive Directors.EXECUTIVE REMUNERATIONSciDevs executive pay and reward framework has three primary components,which together comprise the executives total remuneration:base
135、pay,superannuation and standard non-monetary benefits such as sick leave,annual leave etc;short term incentives through individually negotiated,performance milestoned cash payments;and long term incentives through participation in the SciDev ESS.The combination of these comprises the executives tota
136、l remuneration.The three elements described above are tailored to reflect fair reward for the individual executives contribution and whilst some executives receive a component of all three elements,other executives do not.(I)BASE PAYBase pay is generally structured as a total employment cost package
137、,which may be delivered as a combination of cash and prescribed non-financial benefits as negotiated between the Company and the executive.Executives are offered a competitive base pay that comprises a fixed component of cash salary,superannuation and standard non-monetary benefits as described abov
138、e.Base pay for each senior executive is reviewed annually to ensure the executives pay is competitive with the market.There is no guaranteed base pay increase included in any executives contract.(II)SHORT-TERM INCENTIVESManaging Director&Chief Executive OfficerThe Managing Director was eligible for
139、a short-term incentive(STI)cash bonus payment of up to$200,000 based on the achievement of KPIs determined by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee for the calendar year ended 31 December 2020.The aim of the STI is to link the achievement of the companys annual and/or immediate financial and bro
140、ader operational targets with the remuneration received by the Managing Director&Chief Executive Officer.22SCIDEV LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2021The total potential STI was set at a level so as to provide sufficient incentive to achieve the operational targets and at a cost to the company that is reasonab

144、ttee.These incentives,while not guaranteed,are directly linked to the achievement of KPIs established around various performance targets including safety,finance,culture and customer satisfaction.No bonus is awarded where performance falls below the minimum acceptable KPI levels as determined by the

250、ited as a consolidated entity consisting of SciDev Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of,or during,the year.The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars,which is SciDev Limiteds functional and presentation currency.SciDev Limited is a listed public company limited by s
251、hares,incorporated and domiciled in Australia.Its registered office and principal place of business are:Registered office Principal place of business Unit 1 C/-Boardroom Pty Limited 8 Turbo Road Level 12,Grosvenor Place Kings Park 225 George Street,Sydney NSW 2148 NSW 2000 A description of the natur
252、e of the consolidated entitys operations and its principal activities are included in the directors report,which is not part of the financial statements.The financial statements were authorised for issue,in accordance with a resolution of directors,on 30 August 2021.The directors have the power to a
253、mend and reissue the financial statements.2.Significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out either in the respective notes or below.These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented,unless oth
254、erwise stated.New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board(AASB)that are mandatory for the current reporting period.Any new or
255、 amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity.The following Accounting Stan
256、dards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity:Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting(Conceptual Framework)Amendments to IFRS 3 Definition of a Business Amendments to IFRS 7,IFRS 9 and IAS 39 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 Definition of Mat
257、erial The consolidated entity has adopted the revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations from 1 July 2020 but they have not had a material impact on the consolidated entitys financial statements.Basis of preparation These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance wi
258、th Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board(AASB)and the Corporations Act 2001,as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities.These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the Inter
259、national Accounting Standards Board(IASB).Historical cost convention The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention,except for,where applicable,financial assets and liabilities at fair value through other comprehensive income.38SCIDEV LTD 2021ANNUAL REPORTThe above
260、Critical accounting estimates The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates.It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entitys accounting policies.The areas involving a higher degree of jud
261、gement or complexity,or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements,are disclosed in note 3.Comparative information Some comparative information has been reclassified for presentation purposes.Parent entity information In accordance with the Corporations Act 200
262、1,these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only.Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 34.Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of SciDev Limited(co
263、mpany or parent entity)as at 30 June 2021 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended.SciDev Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the consolidated entity.Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has contr
264、ol.The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity 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 fro
265、m the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity.They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.Intercompany transactions,balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated.Unrealised losses are also eliminated un
266、less 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 consolidated entity.The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition me
267、thod of accounting.A change in ownership interest,without the loss of control,is accounted for as an equity transaction,where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to
268、 the parent.Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary,it derecognises the assets including goodwill,liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity.The consolidated entity recognises the fair val
269、ue of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.Foreign currency translation The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars,which is SciDev Limiteds functional and presentation currency.Foreign currency tra
270、nsactions Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars 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 financial year-end exchange rates of mo
271、netary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.Foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date.The revenues and expenses of foreign operations a
272、re translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates,which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions,for the period.All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.The foreign curren
273、cy reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.Income tax The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that periods taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction,adjusted by the changes i
274、n deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences,unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods,where applicable.39SCIDEV LTD 2021ANNUAL REPORT2.Significant accounting policies continued Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary di
275、fferences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled,based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted,except for:When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liab
276、ility in a transaction that is not a business combination and that,at the time of the transaction,affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits;or When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries,associates or joint ventures,and the timing of the reversal can b
277、e controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary diffe
278、rences and losses.The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date.Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered.Pr
279、eviously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current
280、tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities;and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.SciDev Limited(the head entity)and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries hav
281、e formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime.The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts.The tax consolidated group has applied the separate taxpayer within group approach in dete
282、rmining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts,the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities(or assets)and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits
283、 assumed from each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group.Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group.The tax funding arrangement ensures that the
284、intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member,resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity.Current and non-current classification Assets and liabilities are
285、 presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.An asset is classified as current when:it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the consolidated entitys normal operating cycle;it is held primarily for the purpose of
286、trading;it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period;or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.All other assets are classified as non-current.A liability
287、is classified as current when:it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entitys normal operating cycle;it is held primarily for the purpose of trading;it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period;or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the l
288、iability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.All other liabilities are classified as non-current.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2021 40SCIDEV LTD 2021ANNUAL REPORTInvestm
289、ents and other financial assets Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value.Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement,except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cos
290、t or fair value depending on their classification.Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless an accounting mismatch is being avoided.Financial assets are derecognised when
291、 the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset,its carrying value is written off.Financial
292、assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Upon initial recognition,the consolidated entity can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income(OCI)when they meet the definition of equity under AASB 1
293、32 Financial Instruments:Presentation and are not held for trading.The classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis.Gains and losses on these financial assets are never recycled to profit or loss.Dividends are recognised as other income in the statement of profit or loss when th
294、e right of payment has been established,except when the Group benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset,in which case,such gains are recorded in OCI.Equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI are not subject to impairment assessment.The consoli
295、dated entity elected to classify irrevocably its non-listed equity investments under this category.Impairment of financial assets The consolidated entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other
296、 comprehensive income.The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the consolidated entitys assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instruments credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition,based on reasonable and supportable information t
297、hat is available,without undue cost or effort to obtain.Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition,a 12-month expected credit loss allowance is estimated.This represents a portion of the assets lifetime expected credit losses that is attribut
298、able to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months.Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly,the loss allowance is based on the assets lifetime expected credit losses.The amount of expected credit loss re
299、cognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.For financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through other comprehensive income,the loss allowance
300、is recognised in other comprehensive income.Impairment of non-financial assets Goodwill and other 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 m
301、ight be impaired.Other non-financial assets are reviewed 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 assets carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.Recoverable
302、amount is the higher of an assets fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use.The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.Assets that do no
303、t have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.Finance costs Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset.All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.41SCIDEV LTD 2021ANNUAL REPORT2.Significa
304、nt accounting policies continued Goods and Services Tax(GST)and other similar taxes Revenues,expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST,unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority.In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition o

311、n 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.Mana
312、gement 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 resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual resu
313、lts.The judgements,estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities(refer to the respective notes)within the next financial year are discussed below.Coronavirus(COVID-19)pandemic Judgement has been exercised in
314、considering the impacts that the Coronavirus(COVID-19)pandemic has had,or may have,on the consolidated entity based on known information.This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered,customers,supply chain,staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated enti
315、ty operates.Other than as addressed in specific notes,there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date
316、 or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus(COVID-19)pandemic.Carrying value of goodwill and non-financial assets Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount,which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its valu
317、e in use.The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions,conducted at arms length,for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs of disposing of the asset.The value in use calculation is based on a DCF model.The cash
318、 flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the consolidated entity is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the performance of the assets of the CGU being tested.Notes to the consolidated financial st

320、 value in use.The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions,conducted at arms length,for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs of disposing of the asset.The value in use calculation is based on a DCF model.The
321、 cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the consolidated entity is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the performance of the assets of the CGU being tested.The recoverable amount is sensiti
322、ve to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.These estimates are most relevant to goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite useful lives recognised by the consolidated entity.The key assumptions us
323、ed to determine the recoverable amount for the different CGUs,including a sensitivity analysis,are disclosed and further explained in note 15.Fair value of contingent consideration The consolidated entity has estimated the fair value of contingent consideration payable in connection with business co
324、mbinations by determining the present value of expected future payments,discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate.The estimate of future payments is based on forecast EBITDA of the acquired business over a three-year period.The acquisition accounting is provisional at 30 June 2021.Recovery of d
325、eferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the consolidated entity considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.Judgement is required to determine the amount of deferre
326、d tax assets that can be recognised,based upon the likely timing and the level of future profits and the availability of past losses for use.4.Operating Segments Identification of reportable operating segments The consolidated entity operates in primarily two geographical segments:Australia and the
327、United States.The primary business segment is the treatment of industrial waste.Operating and business segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision makers.The chief operating decision maker,who is responsible for allocating resourc
328、es and assessing performance of the operating segments,has been identified as the Board of Directors.Intersegment transactions Intersegment transactions were made at market rates.Intersegment transactions are eliminated on consolidation.Intersegment receivables,payables and loans Intersegment loans
329、are initially recognised at the consideration received.Intersegment loans receivable and loans payable that earn or incur non-market interest are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates.Intersegment loans are eliminated on consolidation.Major customers During the year ended 30 June
