Management Resource Solutions PLC
Half Year Report
Period Ended
31 December 2016
Company number: 8046513
CEO's Statement
Dear shareholders,
The Half Year results show a Net Loss Before Tax of A$3.2m on
Revenue of A$20.6m.
Shareholders should be aware that the going concern basis of
preparation of these interim accounts is based on the Directors
assumptions, having prepared a cash flow forecast, of the Company's
working capital requirements and the need to access additional
equity funding or asset divestment if required within the next 12
months.
Restructure
Significantly underperforming business units within MRS
necessitated a restructure of the group in October/November
2016:
-- The high risk underperforming contract to build aviation fuel tanks at Jackson's International Airport in Port
Moresby, Papua New Guinea was put into dispute. MRS Guernsey Limited and MRS PNG Limited, the MRS entities which
managed the PNG contract, were put into Voluntary Liquidation in December 2016 and February 2017 respectively to
quarantine any issues that may arise from this contract.
-- The other high risk underperforming contract to dismantle a Polypropylene Plant at Rosehill, Sydney was put into
dispute in November 2016 and all work was ceased. MRS Pty Ltd, the company contracted to undertake this work, was
placed into Voluntary Administration in February 2017, again to quarantine the group from losses and potential
liquidated damages claims. Bachmann Plant Hire (BPH) and MRS Services Group (MRSSG) were quarantined from this
process.
-- The oil and gas industry white collar labour hire business, which had declined through the year to the point it
was unsustainable, was also closed.
-- The Southport head office, which had supported the above sections of the business, was closed in October 2016 and
the staff were made redundant.
Non-Recurring Costs
Significant non-recurring costs have been incurred to date in
FY17 to fund the restructure of MRS group as well as the
acquisition and restructure of the Subzero assets to establish the
MRS Services Group (MRSSG):
-- MRS Pty Ltd incurred A$600k for the acquisition of the Subzero assets
-- MRSSG incurred A$309k in relocation costs to achieve rent and occupancy cost savings of A$950k pa, A$240k in
financing costs to initiate the Hermes invoice discounting facility and A$180k in redundancy costs to achieve
A$1.2m pa reduction in overhead salary costs.
-- MRS Plc incurred A$470k for restructuring of the subsidiaries.
-- Loss on liquidation of subsidiaries of A$454k, being MRs Pty Ltd A$101k and MRS Guernsey A$353k
-- MRS PLC impairment of debtors A$543k
Of the above, A$1,920k has been recognised in the first half of
FY17.
MRS Services Group Performance
Upon the acquisition of MRS Subzero, out of its Receivership,
there was a requirement to make major structural changes to
overhead and occupancy costs resulting in significant restructuring
and non-recurring costs. This was planned prior to the acquisition.
A lack of working capital and the resulting cash constraints has
impacted the performance of the business. MRSSG has implemented an
overhead reduction program outlined above and is in the process of
implementing operating cost savings with installation of bulk oil,
gas and fuel to the workshops and implementing consumable kiosks
with resulting savings in consumable and inventory costs. Every
facet of the business is under review to streamline costs.
Bachmann Plant Hire
All the documentation, agreements and payment of consideration
are now complete for the purchase of BPH, save for the outstanding
issue of new shares to the value of A$500,000, as previously
announced.
BPH continues to perform well against budget. It is a mature,
established business with a 50 year history of civil earthworks in
Ipswich and will continue to operate effectively in this
sector.
Group Performance
The business restructure, ensuing non-recurring costs and the
underperformance of MRSSG have put significant strain on cash flow
which has impacted the growth of the business to date and our
ability to take advantage of opportunities in the market.
MRS Outlook
The focus for MRS going forward is the consolidation of the four
"pillars" of the business and developing the business strategy and
framework to drive the performance of the Group. When recovered
from the current cash constraints the business will be in a very
good position to take advantage of the coal industry upturn in the
Hunter Valley and the residential growth in Southern
Queensland.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank the MRS employees,
clients, suppliers and shareholders for maintaining the belief in
the Company in difficult times.

Management Resource Solutions PLC
Notes forming part of the Interim Results
For the six months ended 31 December 2016
1. Accounting Policies
The condensed consolidated unaudited interim financial
information set out in this report is based on the financial
statements of Management Resource Solutions plc ("MRS"). The
condensed financial information should be read in conjunction with
the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2016,
which were prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards. The interim financial information for the
Group for the six months ended 31 December 2016 was approved and
authorised for issue by the Board on 7th April 2017. This interim
financial information has been prepared in accordance with the
accounting policies that are expected to be applied in the Report
and Accounts of MRS for the year ending 30 June 2017 and are
consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards adopted
for use in the European Union.
2. Basis of preparation
The financial information for the six months ended 31 December
2016 does not constitute the Company's statutory financial
statements for those periods. The comparative financial information
for the full year ended 30 June 2016 has been derived from the
statutory financial statements for that period. The statutory
accounts for the year ended 30 June 2016 have been filed with the
Registrar of Companies.
The financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars and
all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($'000)
except where otherwise indicated.
3. Going concern
The interim financial information has been prepared on the going
concern basis as, in the opinion of the Directors, at the time of
approving, there is a reasonable expectation that the Group will
continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
As reported in the Annual Report for the year ended 30 June
2016, closure of the former consulting business has brought major
cost savings and the Group has secured further finance facilities.
Based on these developments and on the Company's ability to modify
expenditure outlays further if required, and to source additional
funds, the Directors consider there are reasonable grounds to
believe that the Company will be able to pay its debts as and when
they become due and payable, and therefore the going concern basis
of preparation is considered to be appropriate for the financial
report for the year ended 31 December 2016. The Board of Directors
are aware, having prepared a cash flow forecast, of the Company's
working capital requirements and the need to access additional
equity funding or asset divestment if required within the next 12
months.
In the event that the Company is not able to continue as a going
concern, it may be required to realise assets and extinguish
liabilities other than in the normal course of business and perhaps
at amounts different to those stated in its financial report.
4. Earnings / (loss) per share
Earnings / (loss) per share is calculated on the reported loss
for the period of $4,030,000 and on 57,554,573 ordinary shares,
being the weighted average number of shares in issue throughout the
period ended 31 December 2016.
For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue has been adjusted to assume conversion of
all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company has two classes
of dilutive potential ordinary shares, being share options granted
to directors and employees and warrants to subscribe for ordinary
shares issued in connection with the placing of ordinary shares on
11 December 2014.
