Paul Morffew, MRS CEO said:
"Our core service offering in the human capital and project
management businesses performed well and we are on target with our
strategy to become a leading supplier of solutions and products to
the engineering market. We successfully listed on the AIM market of
the London Stock Exchange and continue to develop our complementary
service offering across our products. The new contracts won over
the course of the year are a clear sign of this strategy in motion,
and as we seek to expand organically and acquisitively the
management are confident that the Company will deliver growth.
"Post period end, we are working hard on delivering the
acquisition announced and have completed much of the critical
pathway to executing this. "

Chief Executives's Statement
During the past financial year we had our eyes firmly set on
reaching our goals of continued growth and enhanced capabilities in
all areas. We made good progress on many important fronts that will
affect the long-term future for Management Resource Solutions and
the Group's position in the industry. I am eager to report on the
major milestones reached during the year and the future
opportunities available to us.
Our business generates revenue from two sources: project
management and contract personnel.
Our goal remains to become a leading supplier of solutions in
risk management services and products from major engineering
projects to smaller challenges in the mining, oil & gas and
construction industries, expanding the business through a strategy
of both organic growth and acquisition.
During the year we have continued to forge ahead in our core
business and we have successfully demonstrated an ability to
diversify our capabilities away from our traditional marketplace by
being awarded the Pacific Energy Aviation (PNG) Limited aviation
fuel depot contract. Year on year, group revenue has increased by
63% from $10.5m to $17.1m. Operating and delivering these services
in regional and remote locations often offer challenging logistics,
which requires high quality innovative solutions from design
through to construction and commissioning, uniquely tailored to
each project's complexity and size. Due to the nature of the
project MRS had to find several unique solutions to restrictions
and as a result is using the revolutionary Hydraulic Tank Jacking
System to construct the tanks. This method is a first to Papua New
Guinea and MRS is excited about spearheading innovative quality
construction not only in Papua New Guinea, but to more developing
Asia Pacific countries.
Management sees opportunity to acquire, profitable services
companies at attractive multiples as our second revenue growth
approach. Recent global weakness has produced a buyer's market for
well-priced, well run, profitable companies in sectors of interest
with acquired companies benefitting from MRS' scale, enhanced
marketing and cross-selling opportunities as well as other
synergies. For these reasons MRS is progressing toward completing
its first acquisition of a plant hire company that will
significantly increase the scale of our business. This acquisition
will add significantly to the Group's capabilities and will be a
major step toward becoming a full cycle service provider.
Corporately, we have achieved a major goal during the period
under review, admission to the AIM market operated by the London
Stock Exchange in December 2014. AIM is considered to be the most
successful growth market in the world and it is a significant
achievement for the company to join its ranks.
MRS did have some disappointments during the year, particularly
the failed transaction to acquire the D&M group of companies
due to an initial failure by our financier to honour his funding
commitment and the eventual rejection of our subsequent alternative
offer by the owners of the D&M group. The loss after tax for
the year was $1,648,000 (2014 - profit of $52,000). The results
were adversely affected to a significant extent by non-recurring,
abnormal and non-cash costs as the following table
demonstrates:
2015 2014
(Loss)/profit after tax (1,648) 52
Add back:
Non-recurring costs 1,421 -
Share based payment charges 490 -
Non-recurring salary costs incurred in anticipation 562 -
of a merger/acquisition contract (included within wages
and salaries)
_____ ____
Adjusted earnings 825 52
Adjusted earnings reflect certain costs incurred in the year
which are not expected to be recurring. These principally relate to
transaction costs including the IPO and aborted transactions. The
salary costs treated as non-recurring relate to individuals hired
and subsequently released in connection with the failed
acquisition.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all employees at
MRS for their dedication and for the progress the company has made.
I would also like to thank our shareholders for their continuing
support.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year
ended 30 June 2015
Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of
the financial statements are set out below. The policies have been
consistently applied to the periods presented, unless otherwise
stated.
These financial statements have been prepared on the historical
cost basis, on the basis of going concern and in line with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and IFRIC
interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board (IASB) adopted by the European Union and in accordance with
applicable UK law.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS
requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and
associated assumptions are based on historical experience and
factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances,
the results of which form the basis of making judgements about
carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an
ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in
the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision only
affects that period or in the period of revision and future periods
if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern
basis as, in the opinion of the Directors, at the time of approving
the financial statements, there is a reasonable expectation that
the Group will continue in operational existence for the
foreseeable future.
Basis of consolidation
Where the Group has control over an investee, it is classified
as a subsidiary. The Group controls an investee if all three of the
following elements are present: power over an investee, exposure to
variable returns from the investee, and the ability of the investor
to use its power of affect those variable returns. Control is
reassessed whenever facts and circumstances indicate that there may
be a change in any of these elements of control. Subsidiaries are
fully consolidated from the date that control commences until the
date that control ceases. The consolidated financial statements
present the results of the Company and its subsidiaries ("the
Group") as if they formed a single entity. Intercompany
transactions and balances between Group companies are therefore
eliminated in full.
Business combinations
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of
business combinations using the purchase method. In the
consolidated balance sheet, the acquiree's identifiable assets,
liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at
their fair value at the acquisition date. The results of acquired
operations are included in the consolidated income statement from
the date on which control is obtained.
The Company was incorporated on 26 April 2012 for the purpose of
acquiring the entire issued share capital of Management Resource
Solutions Pty Ltd, which was previously the ultimate parent company
of the Group. This acquisition took place on 24 August 2012 by the
issue of the entire ordinary share capital of the Company to the
shareholders of Management Resource Solutions Pty Ltd in exchange
for their shareholdings in the Company.
This reconstruction is accounted for as an acquisition under
common control. Accordingly the financial statements present the
Group results as a continuation of the results of the Group
previously headed by Management Resource Solutions Pty Ltd.
Corporate Income Tax
The income tax expense (income) for the year comprises current
income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the
tax payable on taxable income. Current tax liabilities (assets) are
measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the
relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax
asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well
as unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or
credited outside the profit and loss when the tax relates to items
that are recognised outside the profit and loss.
(MORE TO FOLLOW) Dow Jones Newswires
November 30, 2015 02:00 ET (07:00 GMT)
Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is
recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability,
excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on
accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax
rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is
realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also
reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or
settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. With
respect to non-depreciable items of property, plant and equipment
measured at fair value and items of investment property measured at
fair value, the related deferred tax liability or deferred tax
asset is measured on the basis that the carrying amount of the
asset will be recovered entirely through sale. When an investment
property that is depreciable is held by the Company in a business
model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the
economic benefits embodies in the property through use over time
(rather than through sale), the related deferred tax liability or
deferred tax asset is measured on the basis that the carrying
amount of such property will be recovered entirely through use.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused
tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable
that future taxable profit will be available against which the
benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in
subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred
tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of
the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it
is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable
future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally
enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net
settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the
respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are offset where: (a) a legally enforceable right of
set-off exists; and (b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities
relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on
either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities, where
it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and
settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in
future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets
or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and
are therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
accumulated impairment losses. In the event the carrying amount of
plant and equipment is greater than its estimated recoverable
amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to its
estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses recognised
either in profit or loss or as a revaluation decrease if the
impairment losses relate to a revalued asset.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and
capitalised lease assets is depreciated on a straight line basis over
the asset's useful life to the consolidated group commencing from
the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are
depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the
lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
Depreciation
Class of Fixed Asset Rate
Leasehold improvements 5 %
Plant and equipment 15 - 37.5 %
Leased plant and equipment 40 %
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted
if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. 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.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds
with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are included in the
statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold,
amounts included in the revaluation surplus relating to that asset
are transferred to retained earnings.
Leases
Leases of fixed assets, where substantially all the risks and benefits
incidental to the ownership of the asset - but not the legal ownership
- are transferred to entities in the consolidated group, are classified
as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability
at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased
property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including
any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between
the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense
for the period.
Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter
of their estimated useful lives or the lease term.
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks
and benefits remain with the lessor, are recognised as expenses on
a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability
and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease
term.
Financial Instruments
The Group's financial instruments are cash and cash equivalents, trade
and other receivables, trade and other payables and borrowings. The
accounting policies for these are described below.
Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there
is objective evidence that a financial asset has been impaired. Impairment
losses are recognised in profit or loss immediately.
Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there
is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will
include considering external sources of information and internal sources
of information. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is
carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the
asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell
and value in use to the asset's carrying amount. Any excess of the
asset's carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised
immediately in profit or loss
Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each group entity is measured using the
currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity
operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian
dollars which is the parent entity's functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency
using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange
rate. Non-monetary items are translated at the year - end exchange
rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be
carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary
items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at
the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items
are recognised in profit or loss, except where deferred in equity
as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items
are recognised directly in other comprehensive income to the extent
that the underlying gain or loss is directly recognised in other comprehensive
income; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in profit
or loss.
Employee Benefits
An accrual is made for the Company's liability for employee benefits
in relation to the Company's unpaid contribution to defined contribution
benefit schemes. The Company's obligations in respect of defined contribution
pension schemes are recognised as a cost in the income statement.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive
obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that
an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be
reliably measured.
Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required
to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
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, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts
are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the
statement of financial position.
Revenue and Other Income
Revenue recognition relating to the provision of services is determined
with reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the
end of the reporting period and where outcome of the contract can
be estimated reliably. Stage of completion is determined with reference
to the services performed to date as a percentage of total anticipated
(MORE TO FOLLOW) Dow Jones Newswires
November 30, 2015 02:00 ET (07:00 GMT)
services to be performed, based on surveys of work performed. Where
the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only
to the extent that related expenditure is recoverable.
All revenue is stated net of VAT and similar taxes.
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for
goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of
the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables
are classified as non-current assets.
Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value
and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method, less any provision for impairment. Refer to Note 1(h) for
further discussion on the determination of impairment losses.
Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services
received by the Group that remain unpaid at the end of the reporting
period.
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs are recognised in the statement of consolidated income
for the period in which they are incurred.
Value Added Tax (VAT) and equivalent taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of
VAT, except where the amount of VAT incurred is not recoverable VAT.

The Company has recently been advised that, whilst the Group had
distributable reserves, the parent Company did not have sufficient
distributable reserves to pay the above interim dividend and so it
should not have been paid by the Company to its shareholders. At
the relevant time, sufficient distributable reserves would have
been available in the Company had its principal subsidiary
undertakings declared dividends from their own distributable
reserves. The Directors consider that it is in the best interests
of the Company to take the necessary steps to regularise the
position and accordingly it will enter into a deed poll to
discharge any current or former shareholders that received a
dividend from any obligation to repay any amount to the Company in
connection with the dividend.
(Loss)/earnings per share
The calculation of basic (loss)/earnings per ordinary share
attributable to equity holders of the parent company is based on a
loss of $1,648,000 (2014 - profit of $52,000) and on 31,730,837
(2014-30,400,015) ordinary shares, being the weighted average
number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.
There is no difference between basic earnings per share and
diluted earnings per share as the Group reported a loss for the
year.

Financial Risk Management/Capital Management Policies
The Directors' overall risk management strategy seeks to assist
the Company in meeting its financial targets, whilst minimising
potential adverse effects on financial performance. Risk management
policies are approved and reviewed by the Board of Directors on a
regular basis. These include the credit risk policies and future
cash flow requirements.
Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management
The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial
instruments are credit risk and liquidity risk. There have been no
substantive changes in the types of risks the Company is exposed
to, how these risks arise, or the Board's objectives, policies and
processes for managing or measuring the risks from the previous
period.
a. 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 is also exposed by virtue of its concentration on a small
number of major clients. The Group's maximum exposure to credit
risk is its total receivables.
Credit risk is managed through maintaining procedures ensuring,
to the extent possible, that customers and counterparties to
transactions are of sound credit worthiness and includes the
utilisation of systems for the approval, granting and renewal of
credit limits, the regular monitoring of exposures against such
limits and the monitoring of the financial stability of significant
customers and counterparties. Such monitoring is used in assessing
receivables for impairment. Depending on the division within the
Group, credit terms are generally 15 to 30 days from the date of
invoice.
Risk is also minimised through investing surplus funds in
financial institutions that maintain a high credit rating or in
entities that the finance committee has otherwise assessed as being
financially sound. Where the Group is unable to ascertain a
satisfactory credit risk profile in relation to a customer or
counterparty, the risk may be further managed through title
retention clauses over goods or obtaining security by way of
personal or commercial guarantees over assets of sufficient value
which can be claimed against in the event of any default.
b. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might
encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its
obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages
this risk through the following mechanisms:
3/4 preparing forward-looking cash flow analyses in relation to
its operational, investing and financing activities;
3/4 managing credit risk related to financial assets;
3/4 only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and
3/4 comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with
the realisation profile of financial assets.
At the balance sheet date the Group's only borrowings were those
set out in note 19 and all cash resources were available on
demand.

At 30 June 2015 32,816,682 403 30,400,015 36,220
On 24 August 2012, the Company acquired the entire issued share
capital of Management Resource Solutions Pty Ltd, the former parent
company of the group, in exchange for the issue of the entire
ordinary share capital of the Company to the shareholders of
Management Resource Solutions Pty Ltd. This transaction was
accounted for as an acquisition under common control.
The nominal value of the issued share capital in the Company was
greater than the nominal value of the share capital in Management
Resource Solutions Pty Ltd which was exchanged for it. In order to
leave the Group's equity unchanged by the transaction the
difference in nominal value was debited to a reorganisation
reserve. Costs of $332,000 relating to the share issue were
deducted from equity.
On 4 July 2014, each then existing Ordinary Share of EUR1.00 was
subdivided into one Ordinary Share of EUR0.01each and one Deferred
Share of EUR0.99 each. The Deferred Shares have no voting rights or
rights to receive a dividend and have only a very limited right to
any distribution on a return of capital.
On 11 December 2014, the Company's Ordinary Shares were admitted
to trading on AIM. On the same date, the Company issued 2,416,667
new Ordinary Shares by way of a placing for cash at 30p per share
to raise GBP725,000 (approximately $1.4 million) before
expenses.
Warrants
In connection with its admission to listing on AIM, the Company
issued 2,566,667 warrants to subscribe for
new Ordinary Shares, at 30p per share, to investors and
advisors. The Warrants are exercisable in whole or
in part until the third anniversary of the admission to listing
(11 December 2017) and are non-transferable. No warrants were
exercised during the year and all remained outstanding at 30 June
2015. The notional value of the warrants at the date of issue has
been calculated and is not material. No application has been made
or will be made for the Warrants to be admitted to trading on
AIM.
