NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2016 |
1. | REPORTING ENTITY |
These statements comprise the audited results for the year ended 31 March 2016. The comparative figures comprise the six months ended 31 March 2015.
Zeecol Limited is a company incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand, registered under the Companies Act 1993. The Company is controlled by Coeus Limited (incorporated in New Zealand), which owns 100% of the Company's shares. The Company's ultimate controlling party is Mr. William Mook.
The company is primarily involved in the conversion of dairy effluent to fertiliser and energy production.
The financial statements have been authorised for issue by the Board on_______________________.
2. | BASIS OF PREPARATION |
(a) Statement of Compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New Zealand ("NZ GAAP"). They comply with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ("NZ IFRS") and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards, as appropriate for profit-orientated entities. The financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
The Company is designated as a profit oriented entity for financial reporting purposes. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Reporting Act 2013.
(b) Functional and Presentation Currency
The financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars ($), which is the Company's functional currency, rounded to the nearest dollar.
(c) Basis of Preparation
The accrual basis of accounting has been used, with the exception of compiling the Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.
(d) Comparative Figures
These financial statements are for a 12 month period (Comparative: 6 Months to 31 March 2015).
3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(a) Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of goods and services is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is recognised as follows:
Page 7
Zeecol Limited |
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2016 |
3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
(a) Revenue Recognition (continued)
(i) Interest Income
Interest income is recognised when it is probable that the Company will receive the amount and it can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognised on an accruals basis using the effective interest method.
(ii) Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer and it is probable that the Company will receive the previously agreed upon payment. These criteria are considered to be met when the goods are delivered to the buyer. No revenue is recognised if there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the possible return of goods, or where there is continuing management involvement with the goods.
Deposits received in advance from customers in anticipation of the future sale of goods are recognised as revenue only once the above criteria has been met. If the criteria has not been met they are carried as deferred revenue on the Statement of Financial Position.
(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions and the custodian, other short-term deposits, 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.
(c) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
Transactions entered into by the Company in a currency other than the functional currency are recorded at the rates ruling when the transactions occur. The Company does not hold any foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities. Foreign currency gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period incurred.
(d) Income Tax
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss except items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is not recognised for:
(i) temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss,
(ii) temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Page 8
Zeecol Limited |
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2016 |
3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
(d) Income Tax (continued)
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Recognition of deferred tax assets is restricted to those instances where it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the difference can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
(e) Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Company to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in accompanying Notes. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
(f) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
The financial statements have been prepared on a GST exclusive basis as the Company is required to be registered for GST. Accounts receivable and accounts payable are GST inclusive.
(g) Financial Instruments
Recognition
Financial instruments are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition financial instruments are measured as described below.
A financial instrument is recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
Offsetting financial instruments
Financial instruments are offset and presented as a net asset or net liability in the Statement of Financial Position when the substance of an arrangement is such that presenting them together as either a net asset or a net liability more accurately reflects the Company's expected future cash flows for settling two or more separate financial instruments. This only occurs when the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and intends to either settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised if the Company’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Company transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset.
Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Company’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Zeecol Limited |
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2016 |
3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
(g) Financial Instruments (continued)
Non-derivative financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments comprise loans and receivables and trade and other payables.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Loans and receivables comprise cash and cash equivalents, term deposits and trade and other receivables.
Interest on loans and receivables is recognised in the Statement of Other Comprehensive Income.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Term deposits include deposits held with financial institutions with original maturities greater than three months.
Trade and other receivables of a short-term nature are not discounted.
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. Trade payables of a short-term nature are not discounted.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company does not invest or trade in derivative financial instruments, and therefore is not exposed to the associated risk, rewards and financial impacts both positive and negative, associated with such instruments.
(h) Impairment
Financial assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets (stated at cost or amortised cost) is impaired.
If any such indication exists, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate.
The Company considers the following indicators when assessing whether there is objective evidence of impairment:
(i) significant decline in the market value of an asset.
(ii) significant changes that adversely affect the Company in the technological, market, economic or legal environment in which it operates.
Page 10
Zeecol Limited |
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2016 |
3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
(h) Impairment (continued)
(iii) increases in market interest rates or other market rates of return that are likely to affect the discount rate used to assess the present value of the future cash flows from the asset.
(iv) when the carrying amount of the Company's net assets exceeds the market capitalisation of the Company.
(v) Evidence of obsolescence or physical damage of an asset.
(vi) Significant change in the use of an asset that adversely affects the Company.
(vii) Declining economic performance, which might be indicated by larger than expected maintenance costs or lower than expected profits, from the use of an asset.
Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Company's assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.
An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses directly reduce the carrying amount of assets and are recognised in profit or loss.
The estimated recoverable amount of non-financial assets is the greater of their fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use is determined by estimating future cash flows from the use and ultimate disposal of the asset and discounting these to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market rates and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
A cash generating unit is the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of the other assets or groups of assets.
Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of other assets in the unit on a pro rata basis.
Impairment losses are reversed when there is a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount and there is an indication that the impairment loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
(i) Property, Plant and Equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are recognised at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. As well as the purchase price, cost includes directly attributable costs and, where relevant, the estimated present value of any future unavoidable costs of dismantling and removing items.
(ii) Subsequent costs
Subsequent costs are added to the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment when the cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as an expense when incurred.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2016 |
3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
(i) Property, Plant and Equipment (continued)
(iii) Depreciation
For plant and equipment, depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value.
Depreciation is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on a diminishing value basis over the estimated useful lives of each item of property, plant and equipment.
Depreciation on assets under construction does not commence until they are complete and available for use.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate. Depreciation has been calculated on plant and equipment using the diminishing value method at 50 - 67%.
(j) Share capital
Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
4. | CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
There have been no changes in accounting policies. All policies have been applied on a basis consistent with those from previous financial statements.
5. | NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET ADOPTED |
The Company has reviewed those Standards and Interpretations which have been issued, but which are not yet effective for the period ending 31 March 2016. The following have been deemed to be relevant to the Company:
NZ IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments
NZ IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" was approved for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. NZ IFRS 9 specifies how an entity should classify and measure its financial assets. It requires that all financial assets be reclassified in their entirety on the basis of the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and contractual cash flow obligations of the financial assets. Financial assets are measured at either amortised cost or fair value.
NZ IFRS 9 only permits the recognition of fair value gains and losses in other comprehensive income if they relate to equity investments that are not held for trading. The Company does not hold equity instruments and therefore there will be no impact on the Company's accounting for financial assets or liabilities.
The adoption of NZ IFRS 9 is unlikely to result in material changes to the presentation and measurement of financial assets and liabilities and accordingly the Company has chosen not to early adopt this Standard.
Page 12
Zeecol Limited |
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2016 |
5. | NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET ADOPTED (continued) |
NZ IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers
NZ IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" was approved for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. NZ IFRS 15 establishes revenue recognition principles for all contracts with customers.
The core principle of NZ IFRS 15 is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This core principle is delivered in a five-step model framework:
(a) Identify the contract(s) with a customer
(b) Identify the performance obligations in the contract
(c) Determine the transaction price
(d) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
(e) Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
Under the current standard - NZ IAS 18, the revenue received from customers has been deferred and recorded as Deferred Revenue, as the criteria for recognising revenue in the statement of comprehensive income has not been met (refer to Revenue accounting policy under Note 3: Significant Account Policies for more information).
The adoption of NZ IFRS 15 will not alter this treatment as the performance obligations in the customer contracts have not been satisfied and accordingly revenue cannot be recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Accordingly the adoption of NZ IFRS 15 is unlikely to result in material changes to the presentation and measurement of revenue, and therefore the Company has chosen not to early adopt this standard.
NZ IAS 1 Amendment - Disclosure Initiatives
The External Reporting Board (XRB) issued amendments to NZ IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" which were approved for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016.
The amendments have been issued as part of a project to improve presentation and disclosure requirements and:
(a) clarify that an entity should not obscure useful information by aggregating or disaggregating information; and that materiality considerations apply to the primary statements, notes and any specific disclosure requirements in NZ IFRSs
(b) clarify that the list of line items specified by NZ IAS 1 for the Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income can be disaggregated and aggregated as relevant. Additional guidance has also been added on the presentation of subtotals in these statements
(c) clarify that entities have flexibility when designing the structure of the notes and provide guidance on how to determine a systematic order of the notes.
The Company believes that the disclosures in the financial statements have been as transparent as possible and adoption of the amendments is unlikely to result in material changes to the presentation and disclosures in the financial statements, and therefore the Company has chosen not to early adopt this standard.

10. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - RISK MANAGEMENT |
The Company's operations expose it to various types of risk that are associated with the financial instruments and the markets in which it operates. The most significant types of financial risk to which the Company is exposed are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The nature and extent of the financial instruments outstanding at the reporting date and the risk management policies employed by the Company are discussed below.
(a) Market Risk
Market risk embodies the potential for both loss and gains and includes currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk. The Companies' market risks arise from open positions in interest bearing assets to the extent that these are exposed to general & specific market movements.
(i) Currency risk
All financial assets of the Company are denominated in a single currency (New Zealand dollars). As at the reporting date, the Company is not materially exposed to currencies other than its own functional currency. The Company does not undertake foreign currency hedging.
(ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of loss to the Company arising from adverse changes in interest rates. Interest rates on cash and cash equivalents and term deposits are subject to normal market fluctuations, however as these do not generate significant amounts of interest, changes in market interest rates do not have a material effect on the Company's income.
Below are the weighted average effective interest rates on interest bearing financial instruments:
As at | As at | |||||||
31/03/16 | 31/3/15 | |||||||
% | % | |||||||
Loans and receivables - cash and cash equivalents | 1.00 | % | 2.80 | % | ||||

(iii) Price Risk
Price risk is the risk that the value of the instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices not related to interest rate risk or currency risk, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer or factors affecting all instruments traded in the market.
As at 31 March 2016 the Company does not hold any financial instruments subject to price risk.
(b) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into with the Company. The exposure to credit risk is monitored on an on-going basis.
The Company has the following financial instruments which are exposed to credit risk:
(i) cash and cash equivalents
(ii) trade and other receivables
(iii) term deposit
The Company monitors the credit quality of the counterparties on a regular basis.
The carrying amount of the financial instruments represents the Company's maximum credit exposure.

Financial assets that are past due or impaired
The Company has reviewed each class of financial asset shown on the Statement of Financial Position and notes the following:
Cash and cash equivalents - all cash and cash equivalent balances are recorded at amortised cost, and there are no past due or impaired assets.
Trade and other receivables - all trade and other receivables are recorded at amortised cost. Interest accrued on the term deposit was received within three months of year end. Loans to related parties are past due but not impaired.
Term deposit - the term deposit balance is recorded at amortised cost, and there are no past due or impaired assets.
The carrying value of all financial assets approximates the fair value of these assets.

Market Risk - Sensitivity Analysis
The following tables summarise the sensitivity of the Company's financial assets and liabilities to interest rate risk.
Based on historical movements and volatilities in the New Zealand economy, and management's knowledge and experience of financial markets, the Company believes the following assumptions are "reasonably possible" over a 12 month period:
* A shift of + 0.25% / - 0.25% in the market interest rates from the respective reporting date interest rates disclosure in the Interest Rate Risk section of Note 10.
If these assumptions were to occur, the impact on the net profit before tax (on the face of the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income) for each category of financial instrument held at the reporting dates are detailed below.
The aforementioned assumptions, used in the compilation of the sensitivity analysis, are consistent with the assumptions used internally by the management personnel of the Company for budgeting and planning purposes and the development of a financial risk management strategy.

11. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
Fair value measurement principles
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement and for disclosure purposes.
When preparing the financial statements for the year ending 31 March 2016, the Company has adopted NZ IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement which requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value hierarchy:
a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1)
b) inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2), and
c) inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3).
The Company does not have any financial instruments which are recognised at fair value at reporting date.
Assets and liabilities not carried at fair value but for which fair value is disclosed
The following table analyses within the fair value hierarchy the Company's assets and liabiliites (by class) not measured at fair value but for which fair value is disclosed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |

21. | JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES MADE BY THE COMPANY IN THE PREPARATION OF THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
*Classification of financial assets - the Company has reviewed the substance and nature of the financial assets carried, the obligations and rewards associated with holding those assets, and the implications of classifying an asset(s) in one category and then 'tainting' that category for future periods, should a change be made to the intention or operation of an asset(s) within that category. The Company believes that the current classifications best reflect the operational characteristics of the financial assets held.
*Classification of financial liabilities - the Company completed a review of the sub-categories of financial liabilities carried on the Statement of Financial Position. The Company believes that it has been as transparent as possible as to whom the financial liability obligations relate.
*Compilation of sensitivity analysis - the assumptions used in the modelling exercise have been based on what the Company considers as "reasonably possible".
At the reporting date, the Company has no other significant estimates or assumptions that have significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
22. | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
Deferred Legal fees payable at balance date were believed to relate to the parent company, Coeus Ltd, but had been invoiced to Zeecol Ltd. These invoices have since been credited after balance date and re-issued to the parent company, however at balance date were due for payment by Zeecol Ltd.
