It has been a phenomenal start for a newly listed company. 5GN has performed exceptionally well since its listing in November 2017 and is well on its way to achieving its goal of becoming a leading Telecommunications and data services provider to the broader Australian business market. It is of great credit to the Managing Director Joe Demase and his dedicated and experienced team, that 5GN has been able to rapidly increase revenue to over $50M on an annualised basis in only 9 months since listing. Joe and his team are now focused on the integration of the new acquisitions, and implementing the many synergies identified and continue to support and grow the highly regarded client base. The Australian telecommunications industry in recent years has experienced extreme transition, creating extensive opportunities for companies like 5G Networks. As the Government owned NBN continues to roll out, we continue to observe the incumbent telecommunications suppliers such as Telstra, who continue to experience organisational restructuring, and Optus giving up ground to consumer driven 2nd tier players such as TPG, Vodafone, and Vocus. The discussion has moved to mobility and consumer services, these markets are highly regulated and very competitive. However, 5G Networks are completely focussed on the business to business markets including the mid market, enterprise and government sectors, where business communications are being spurred on by an increased hunger for more data, faster pipes, flexible, yet secure services such as Cloud data management and storage. This changing and broadening landscape for telecommunications data services is opening up opportunities and challenges for businesses and service providers. The Company will be actively pursuing the opportunities that the new landscape presents. Nimble and efficient players will be rewarded, indicating great growth opportunities for 5G Networks. For we are very well placed to capture much of the opportunities available due to our market leading technology, operational expertise, management strength and our superior and flexible offerings. The overall economic outlook suggests that the years ahead will be lucrative for well managed businesses in telecommunications. As 5GN integrates its new acquisitions and builds out its networks and offerings and pursue its growth objectives, 5GN seeks to be heading for the front. The Board has every faith and trust in 5GN’s management and hard-working staff to guide the Company to continued growth in 2018/19 and beyond. On behalf of the Board, I am grateful for the support of 5GN’s shareholders, customers, suppliers and business partners and I would like to thank our staff and executives for their commitment to achieving exceptional results for the Company and its Shareholders. Yours sincerely Albert Cheok Chairman Non-Executive 7 “ If you do everything that everyone else does in business, you’re going to lose.

Importantly, the listing of 5G Networks saw us immediately acquire Enspire Australia Pty Ltd, resulting in a positive operational cash flow from the outset. Following the integration of Enspire, the board continued to expedite the Company’s growth strategy with the acquisition of Asian Pacific Telecommunications Group (APTel), a subsidiary of the successful Melbourne based Deague Property Group. This acquisition was made on attractive financial metrics and completed for the sum of $6M, representing a 4x FY17 EBITDA multiple and with recognised synergies of $500K per annum. APTel annualised revenue equates to more than $6.3M across over 800 Melbourne residential/hotel and business customers allowing 5GN to quickly gain scale in its early listed life. We look forward to a positive ongoing relationship with the Deague Group as 5G Networks remain a preferred supplier of telecom services to that group, supporting growth in the future as part of our agreement. For the end of the 2018 financial year, the Board and Management couldn’t be happier with the integration of Enspire and APTel and the sales demand we are seeing from cross selling to the acquired customer base and new customer base. Demand is strong across the board for core products of data, cloud and managed services. Reported EBITDA was $225k which included acquisition costs of $246k, share option provisions of $133k and executive bonuses of $128k. We have exceeded our financial targets with a normalised EBITDA of $732k from revenue of $5.4M representing a normalised EBITDA ratio of 13.5%. The result represents only 8 months of the Enspire business and 4 months of the APTel business with a combined revenue of $5.4M. Reported revenue for the 5GN group to June 30th 2018 was $5,405,975 with EBITDA of $225,210 and a Net Loss of $324,828. The revenue from the 1st November 2017 of Enspire Australia Pty Ltd acquisition represented $3,373,235. The APTel business from 1st March 2018, contributed $2,199,773 of revenue for the financial year. Subsequent to the end of the period, 5GN successfully completed a third acquisition, purchase of the Direct Business of listed Telco services company In A Box Group Limited (ASX: IAB). The acquisition will result in revenue of approximately $43M for an outlay of $2M in cash and the assumption of $3.7M in employee provisions and lease liabilities. We are confident of delivering economic synergies of $3M per annum in the short term and this will see the Company’s revenues exceed $50M on an annualised basis. The acquisition of IAB’s Direct business enables 5G Networks to accelerate its growth plan and enhances our ability to service a larger corporate market and provide national geographic coverage. Our experienced management team and staff will be integrating the IAB Direct business and employees and we are very confident this acquisition enhances our company and establishes a foundation for future growth in this fast moving industry. Since listing in November 2017, 5GN has been successful with its new business integration and synergy extraction as well as growth through re-signing and providing new services to the existing customer base. New customer acquisition has benefited from a broader infrastructure product offering, which is also supporting continued pipeline growth and we are excited to now have a national business. Operationally, 5G Networks is continuing to execute, develop and assess avenues for growth as part of the Company’s strategy. New mid-market corporate customers are continuing to sign on to the Company’s services, and base station and fibre rollout across Melbourne is well underway. The market for 5GN’s services continue to demonstrate strong demand and the Company is well equipped to advance its growth and development plans. I couldn’t be happier with the management and staff within 5G Networks. They have worked diligently to help build the business in the initial period of the Company and I’m looking forward to what we can deliver to shareholders in the coming years. Yours sincerely Joe Demase Managing Director 9 OUR COMPANY AND STRATEGY “ Broadband connections will pave the way to technology breakthroughs and advancements, but we must first lay the infrastructure so everyone can benefit.” Klaus Schwab, Founder & Executive Chairman, World Economic Forum. 5G Networks (5GN) is aspiring to be one of Australia’s leading telecommunications and information technology companies in the business to business markets. The Company offers a range of market leading communication and managed information technology services to it’s customers with the core focus being network access, cloud and managed services. With national coverage supported by 12 offices located in all major cities and larger regional areas across Australia, the Company now employs over 200 experienced staff. 5G Networks business strategy is to rapidly grow the existing customer base by targeting the mid-market, enterprise and government sectors through addressing their growing appetite for cloud applications and high speed network access. 5G Networks anticipates that demand in this segment will continue to grow as these customers transition their business to automated, digitally enabled operations, driving the need for increasingly sophisticated ICT applications and faster connection speeds. Businesses are finding significant commercial and strategic value in sourcing cloud based computing services within this digital ecosystem. These benefits are derived through improved accessibility, scalability, cost, flexibility and speed of innovation. 5G Networks provides the appropriate connection for businesses to fully capitalise on this market transformation. In 2017/18, 5GN have continued their effective execution of the network expansion strategy, connecting a broad range of fibre services throughout the Melbourne CBD, with over 7km of fibre installed throughout. Augmenting the growth of the fibre network, has been the investment in wireless base stations. There are now an additional four base stations which have been deployed and integrated into the Company’s core network infrastructure. The 5G Networks engineering teams have considerable experience in network rollouts of this type and are fully equipped with the knowledge, skills and expertise to successfully manage the network expansion. 5G Networks will continue to expand and develop the network strategically across Australia, capitalising on the fibre opportunities being presented in the metropolitan areas of major cities, led by customer demand and the opportunity to utilise its existing infrastructure as opposed to leveraging wholesale fibre access from other carriers. A key strategy of 5G Networks is also to drive profitable revenue growth by cross-selling its network services to a growing and committed managed ICT customer base. This strategy will include offering both cloud infrastructure & cloud applications in addition to high value managed services to customers who are unable to experience the service and operational support required to manage their business in a digitally centric market. In addition to achieving organic growth of networks and cloud applications, 5G Networks will continue to drive growth through the acquisition of businesses. This demonstrates the capability to increase penetration in the mid market, enterprise and government sectors, in addition to strengthening the depth and functionality of its service offerings. The leadership team at 5G Networks have considerable experience relating to mergers and acquisitions which will underpin and guide the successful execution of this strategy. Indeed, this experience has proven to be critical in the recent acquisitions of both Hostworks and Anittel from Inabox Group. These organisations were acquired in 2018/19. 10 11 OUR BRAND PROPOSITION “ The real competitive advantage in any business is one word only, which is ‘people’.” Kamil Toume, Writer and thought leader OUR BRAND ALIGNS TO OUR CORE VALUES INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS There are five streams that outline our brand identity; these are underpinned by our core values.

The Board is committed to the highest standards of ethics and integrity and ensures that senior management run the Group in accordance with these standards. The Board monitors the Company’s governance framework and practices to ensure it fulfils its corporate governance obligations. 5G Networks Limited and the board are committed to achieving and demonstrating the highest standards of corporate governance. 5G Networks Limited has reviewed its corporate governance practices against the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (3rd edition) published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council. 5G Networks Ltd’s corporate governance charter has been drafted in light of these Guidelines and the table below summarises the Company’s compliance, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 4.10.3. The 2018 corporate governance statement is current at 20 September 2018. Principles and Recommendations Compliance Comply Principle 1 – Lay solid foundations for management and oversight 1.1 Establish the functions expressly reserved to the Board and those delegated to management, and disclose those functions. 1.2 Undertake appropriate checks before appointing a person as a director, and provide shareholders with all material information relevant to a decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect a director. 1.3 Have a written agreement with each director and senior executive setting out the terms of their appointment. 1.4 The company secretary should be accountable directly to the Board on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the Board. 1.5 Establish a diversity policy and disclose the policy or a summary of that policy. The policy should include requirements for the Board to establish measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity and for the Board to assess annually both the objectives and progress in achieving them, for reporting against in each reporting period. 24 The Board is responsible for the overall corporate governance of the Company. The Board has adopted a Board charter that formalises its roles and responsibilities and defines the matters that are reserved for the Board and specific matters that are delegated to management. The Company has and will continue to conduct appropriate searches in relation to all appointed and future nominated directors. The Company has published Director profiles on the Company’s website outlining biographical details, other directorships held, commencement date of office and level of independence. The Company has written agreements with each director and senior executive. On appointment of directors and senior executives the Company will issue necessary written agreements outlining the terms of their appointment. This is consistent with the Charter and corporate structure of the Company. The company secretary has a direct relationship with the Board in relation to these matters. Complies Complies Complies Complies The Board determined that given the Company’s recent listing, current size and structure, a formal diversity policy is not required. Does not comply CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT Principles and Recommendations Compliance 1.6 Have a process for periodically evaluating the performance of the Board, its committees and individual directors, and disclose that process and, at the end of each reporting period, whether such performance evaluation was undertaken in that period. 1.7 Have a process for periodically evaluating the performance of the company’s senior executives, and disclose that process and, at the end of each reporting period, whether such performance evaluation was undertaken in that period. The Company has a process for evaluating the performance of the Board, its committee and individual directors as outlined in the Board Charter. Given the Company listed in November 2017, a formal evaluation has yet to be undertaken The Managing Director (MD) reviews the performance of the senior executives on a regular basis throughout the reporting period. Additionally, the Board reviews the Managing Director’s performance throughout the reporting period. These reviews were conducted in this period. Principle 2 – Structure the Board to add value 2.1 The Company should have a nomination committee, which has at least three members, a majority of independent directors and is chaired by an independent director. The functions and operations of the nomination committee should be disclosed. 2.2 Have and disclose a board skills matrix, setting out what the board is looking to achieve in its membership. 2.3 Disclose the names of the directors that the Board considers to be independent directors, and an explanation of why the Board is of that opinion if a factor that impacts on independence applies to a director, and disclose the length of service of each director A combined Nominations and Remuneration Committee has been established with its own charter and consists of: • Albert Cheok (committee chair); and • Joseph Gangi The Board feels that the composition of the committee is appropriate given the recent listing and magnitude of operations of the entity. The Company has established charter rules for the Nominations and Remuneration Committee as a guide for Board deliberations. Together, the Directors have a broad range of experience, expertise, skills, qualifications and contacts relevant to the Company and its business. The Board considers Albert Cheok (Appointed 29 June 2017) and Joe Gangi (Appointed 29 June 2017) to be independent directors. The Board notes the following directors are deemed not independent for the purposes of the Guidelines: • Joseph Demase – Joseph is a founding shareholder of 5G Networks Ltd (Appointed 15 April 2013) and is an executive director of the Company. 2.4 A majority of the Board should be independent directors. The Board currently comprises three Directors, of which two are independent non-executive Directors. 2.5 The chair of the Board should be an independent director and should not be the CEO The chairman, Albert Cheok, is a non-executive and independent director. Comply Complies Complies Partially Complies Partially Complies Complies Complies Complies 2.6 There should be a program for inducting new directors and providing appropriate professional development opportunities for directors to develop and maintain the skills and knowledge needed to perform their role as a director effectively. This is consistent with the Board Charter. Complies 25 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT Principles and Recommendations Compliance Comply Principle 3 – Act ethically and responsibly 3.1 Have a code of conduct for the Board, senior executives and employees, and disclose that code or a summary of that code. Principle 4 – Safeguard integrity in corporate reporting 4.1 The Company should have an audit committee, which consists of only non-executive directors, a majority of independent directors, is chaired by an independent chairman who is not chairman of the Board, and has at least three members. The functions and operations of the audit committee should be disclosed. 4.2 The Board should, before approving financial statements for a financial period, receive a declaration from the CEO and CFO that, in their opinion, the financial records have been properly maintained and that the financial statements comply with the appropriate accounting standards and give a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the Company, formed on the basis of a sound system of risk management and internal controls, operating effectively. 4.3 The Company’s auditor should attend the AGM and be available to answer questions from security holders relevant to the audit. Principle 5 – Make timely and balanced disclosures Complies Partially Complies The Company has adopted a code of conduct, which sets out a framework to enable Directors, senior executives and employees to achieve the highest possible standards in the discharge of their duties and to give a clear understanding of best practise in Corporate Governance. The Board has established an Audit and Risk Committee which operates under an audit and risk committee charter. The Audit and Risk Committee members are: • Joe Gangi (Chair); and • Joseph Demase The committee is chaired by an independent director and the functions of the audit committee are disclosed. Given the current size of the board, a larger committee is not considered appropriate. This is consistent with the approach to be adopted by the Audit and Risk Committee and the Board. Complies 5G Networks’ auditors will be requested to attend the AGM and shareholders will be entitled to ask questions in accordance with the Corporations Act and these guidelines. Complies 26 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT Principles and Recommendations Compliance 5.1 Have a written policy for complying with continuous disclosure obligations under the Listing Rules, and disclose that policy or a summary of it. The Company has a written continuous disclosure policy which is designed to ensure that all material matters are appropriately disclosed in a balanced and timely manner and in accordance with the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules. Principle 6 – Respect the rights of security holders 6.1 Provide information about the Company and its governance to investors via its website. The Board Charter and other applicable policies are available on the Company’s website. 6.2 Design and implement an investor relations program to facilitate effective two way communication with investors. The Company will use its website, half year and annual reports, market announcements and media disclosures to communicate with its shareholders, as well as encourage participation at general meetings. 6.3 Disclose the policies and processes in place to facilitate and encourage participation at meetings of security holders. The Company intends to facilitate effective participation in the AGM and has adopted appropriate technologies to facilitate this. Comply Complies Complies Complies Complies 6.4 Give security holders the option to receive communications from, and send communications to, the Company and its share registry electronically. Principle 7 – Recognise and manage risk 7.1 The Board should have a risk committee which is structured so that it consists of a majority of independent directors, is chaired by an independent director, and has at least three members. The functions and operations of the risk committee should be disclosed. 7.2 The Board or a committee of the Board should review the entity’s risk management framework with management at least annually to satisfy itself that it continues to be sound, and disclose, in relation to each reporting period, whether such a review has taken place. The company’s share registry provides this option for shareholders. Complies Partially Complies The Company has a combined Audit and Risk Committee. The Audit and Risk Committee members are: • Joseph Gangi (Chair); and • Joseph Demase The committee is chaired by an independent director and the functions of the audit committee are disclosed. Given the current size of the board, a larger committee is not considered appropriate. The charter establishes the role of the committee. A risk review was conducted in this period. Complies 27 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT Principles and Recommendations Compliance Comply 7.3 Disclose if the Company has an internal audit function, how the function is structured and what role it performs, or if it does not have an internal audit function, that fact and the processes the Company employs for evaluating and continually improving the effectiveness of its risk management and internal control processes. 7.4 Disclose whether the Company has any material exposure to economic, environmental and social sustainability risks and, if so, how it manages those risks. Principle 8 – Remunerate fairly and responsibly 8.1 The Board should have a remuneration committee which is structured so that it consists of a majority of independent directors, is chaired by an independent director, and has at least three members. The functions and operations of the remuneration committee should be disclosed. 8.2 The policies and practices regarding the remuneration of non-executive directors, and the remuneration of executive directors and other senior executives, should be separately disclosed. 8.3 If the Company has an equity-based remuneration scheme, it should have a policy on whether participants are permitted to enter into transactions (whether through the use of derivatives or otherwise) which limit the economic risk of participating in the scheme, and disclose that policy or a summary of it. Due to the Company’s limited number of employees and relative nature and scale of its operations, the costs of an independent internal audit function would be disproportionate. The Company has an external auditor and the Audit and Risk Committee continues to monitor key controls in the business. Does not comply due to the nature and scale of operations The Board does not believe that the Company has any such material risks. Complies A combined Nominations and Remuneration Committee has been established with its own charter and consists of: • Albert Cheok (committee chair); and • Joseph Gangi The Board feels that the composition of the committee is appropriate given the recent listing and magnitude of operations of the entity. Partially Complies The Nominations and Remuneration Committee charter is available on the Company’s website. Complies The Company operates an exempt share plan and has approved a performance rights plan for the potential issue of rights in the future. In accordance with the Company’s Securities Trading Policy participants are not permitted to enter into transactions which limit economic risk without written clearance.

CORPORATE INFORMATION 5G Networks Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The consolidated financial report of the Group as at and for the year ended 30 June 2018 comprises 5G Networks Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year. OPERATIONS AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY The Group’s principal activities during the year were: • the supply of cloud-based solutions, managed services and network services • the entity operates its own fibre and wireless infrastructure and manages its own cloud computing environment REGISTERED OFFICE AND PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS Level 8, 99 William Street, Melbourne VIC 3000 2. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PREPARATION These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’). Except for cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the revaluation of available for sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit & loss, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment, and derivative financial instruments. The Financial Statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 20 September 2018. GOING CONCERN The financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2018 has been prepared on the going concern basis that contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. For the year ended 30 June 2018 the Group recorded a loss after tax of $324,828 (2017: Loss $103,035), operating cash outflow of $671,803 (2017: $104,164), financing cash inflows of $7,132,156 (2017: $367,000), and a surplus of current assets to current liabilities of $442,324 (2017: $309,224). At year end the Group had $3,356,702 of cash on hand. The Directors regularly monitor the Group’s cash position and on an on-going basis consider a number of strategic and operational plans and initiatives to ensure that adequate funding continues to be available for the Group to meet its business objectives. The Directors have taken the factors above into consideration and determined that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable and the Directors consider the going concern basis of preparation to be appropriate for this Financial Report. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED IN THE CURRENT FINANCIAL PERIOD The Group notes the introduction of new or amended Standards applicable for financial periods commencing on 1 July 2018 NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR APPLICATION IN FUTURE PERIODS Accounting Standards issued by the AASB that are not yet mandatorily applicable to the Group, and have not been early adopted in the 2018 reporting year, as well as the Groups assessment of the potential impact of such pronouncements on the Group when adopted in future periods, are discussed below: AASB 9: Financial Instruments and associated Amending Standards (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). The Standard will be applicable retrospectively and includes revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, revised recognition and recognition requirements for financial instruments and simplified require- ments for hedge accounting. A review is currently being undertaken to determine the impact of this standard. At this stage the Group is not in a position to quantify any changes resulting from the adoption of the Standard. AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, as deferred by AASB 2015-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Effective Date of AASB 15). 35 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The main changes introduced by the new Standard include: • Recognition of a right-to-use asset and liability for all leases (excluding short-term leases with less than 12 months of tenure and leases relating to low-value assets); • Depreciation of right-to-use assets in line with AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment in profit or loss and unwinding of the liability in principal and interest components; • Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate are included in the initial measurement of the lease liability using the index or rate at the commencement date; • By applying a practical expedient, a lessee is permitted to elect not to separate non-lease components and instead account for all components as a lease; and • Additional disclosure requirements. The transitional provisions of AASB 16 allow a lessee to either retrospectively apply the Standard to comparatives in line with AASB 108 or recognise the cumulative effect of retrospective application as an adjustment to opening equity on the date of initial application. The standard will primarily affect the accounting for the Group’s operating leases. As at the reporting date, the Group has non-cancellable operating lease commitments of $1.0 million (see Note 25) primarily associated with the rental of office premises. A review is currently being undertaken to determine the impact of this standard. At this stage the Group is not in a position to quantify any changes resulting from the adoption of the Standard. When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to revenue with a single, principles-based model. Except for a limited number of exceptions, including leases, the new revenue model in AASB 15 will apply to all contracts with customers as well as non-monetary exchanges between entities in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers and potential customers. The core principle of the Standard is that an entity will rec- ognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consid- eration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. To achieve this objective, AASB 15 provides the following five-step process: • Identify the contract(s) with a customer; • Identify the performance obligations in the contract(s); • Determine the transaction price; • Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and • Recognise revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied. THE TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS OF THIS STANDARD PERMIT AN ENTITY TO EITHER: Restate the contracts that existed in each prior period presented per AASB 108: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (subject to certain practical expedients in AASB 15); or recognise the cumulative effect of retrospective application to incomplete contracts on the date of initial application. There are also enhanced disclosure requirements regarding revenue. This standard will apply to the Group from 1 July 2018 and may impact the timing of revenue recognition. A review is currently being undertaken to determine the impact of this standard. At this stage the Group is not in a position to quantify any changes resulting from the adoption of the Standard. AASB 16: Leases (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to leases in AASB 117: Leases and related Interpretations. AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model that eliminates the require- ment for leases to be classified as operating or finance leases. 36 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of the Group (‘Group’) as at 30 June 2018 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. The Group and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as ‘the Group’. Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The effects of potential exercisable voting rights are considered when assessing whether control exists. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless 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 Group. The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Refer to the ‘Business Combinations’ accounting policy for further details. 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 the parent. Where the Group 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 Group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired in acccordance with the provisions of AASB3 Business Combinations. The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquirer’s identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss. On the acquisition of a business, the Group assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group’s operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date. Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the Group remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree. Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value. 37 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION INCOME TAX The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply 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 liability 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 be 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 differences and losses. The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed 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. Previously 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 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. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS 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 monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. SALE OF GOODS Sale of goods revenue is recognised at the point of sale, which is where the customer has taken delivery of the goods, the risks and rewards are transferred to the customer, and where there is a valid sales contract. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of sales returns and discounts. RENDERING OF SERVICES Revenue from the delivery of services is recognised upon delivery of the service to the customer. All revenue is stated net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (GST). INTEREST Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues under the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. R&D TAX OFFSET REVENUE R&D tax offset revenue is revenue recognised when there is reasonable assurance that it will be received. It is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the same period that the related costs are recognised as expenses. OTHER REVENUE Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. 38 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. LOANS AND RECEIVABLES Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment over their expected useful lives. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: Leasehold improvements Plant & Equipment Straight line 16.67% 10 - 40% The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, 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. For the statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts, which are shown within borrowings of current liabilities on the statement of financial position. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is raised when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation and default or delinquency in payments (more than 60 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable may be impaired. Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment. INVESTMENTS 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. They are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on the purpose of the acquisition and subsequent reclassification to other categories is restricted. The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices. For unlisted investments, the Group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models. 39 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS LEASES IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfers from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of leased assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits. Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the fair value of the leased assets, or if lower, the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are allocated between the principal component of the lease liability and the finance costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the asset’s useful life or over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease. Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. INTANGIBLE ASSETS GOODWILL Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business combination. Goodwill is calculated as the excess sum of: • the consideration transferred; • any non-controlling interest; and • the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest; over the acquisition date fair value of net identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed. Goodwill is allocated to the Group’s cash-generating units representing the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored. 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 might 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 asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s 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 not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit. TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. BORROWINGS Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, the loans or borrowings are classified as non-current. 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, including: • Interest on short-term and long-term borrowings • Interest on finance leases 40 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS INITIAL RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Group commits itself to either purchase or sale of the asset. Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs except where the instrument is classified as “at fair value” through profit or loss in which case the transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately. CLASSIFICATION AND SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss. The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments. • LOANS AND RECEIVABLES Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other loans and receivables are classified as non-current assets.) • FINANCIAL LIABILITIES Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost DE-RECOGNITION Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity is no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. PROVISIONS Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS WAGES AND SALARIES AND ANNUAL LEAVE Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in current liabilities in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. LONG SERVICE LEAVE The liability for long service leave is recognised in current and non-current liabilities, depending on the unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. The liability is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on Australian corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. 41 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ISSUED CAPITAL COMPARATIVE FIGURES Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. DIVIDENDS When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. 3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS The preparation 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. Management 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 results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. PROVISION FOR IMPAIRMENT OF RECEIVABLES The provision for impairment of receivables assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of receivables, historical collection rates and specific knowledge of the individual debtor’s financial position. ESTIMATION OF USEFUL LIVES OF ASSETS The Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down. Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of the Group, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year. Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares. 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 of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority. 42 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GOODWILL AND OTHER INDEFINITE LIFE INTANGIBLE ASSETS The Group tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 1. IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS OTHER THAN GOODWILL AND OTHER INDEFINITE LIFE INTANGIBLE ASSETS The Group assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions. INCOME TAX The Group is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities based on the Group’s current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. RECOVERY OF DEFERRED TAX ASSETS Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the Group considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. REVENUE IN ADVANCE Customers of Aptel are invoiced for telephone calls and line rental monthly in arrears on the 20th day of each month. Unearned Revenue is recorded for telephone calls and line rental made between the invoice date which occurs mid- month, and the last day of the month in order to match the period of revenue recognition with the period in which the service (telephone calls and line rental) was provided. LONG SERVICE LEAVE PROVISION As discussed in Note 1, the liability for long service leave is recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date. In determining the present values of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The fair value of assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed are initially estimated by the Group taking into consideration all available information at the reporting date. Fair value adjustments on the finalisation of the business combination accounting is retrospective, where applicable, to the period the combination occurred and may have an impact on the assets and liabilities, depreciation and amortisation reported. 4. OPERATING SEGMENTS & PRODUCT LINES The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The CODM considers that the business has one reportable segment, being IT and Telecommunications. Therefore, all segment assets and liabilities, and the segment result, relate to one business segment and consequently no detailed segment analysis has been prepared.

The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use the present value of cash flow projections over a 5 year period, with growth rates based on budgets with conservative growth rates as approved by management. Cash flows are not extrapolated beyond 5 years. The Discount rate has been based upon an estimate of the entity’s weighted average cost of capital, being 10%. As a result of the impairment testing and evaluation, the Group has determined that the carrying value of Goodwill does not exceed their value-in-use, and no impairment charge is required. IMPACT OF POSSIBLE CHANGES IN KEY ASSUMPTIONS If the discount rate, based on an estimate of the entity’s weighted average cost of capital was increased by 50% to 15%, there would still be no impairment charge required. 51 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 13.

The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value. On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each share shall have one vote. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS - EMPLOYEE SHARES On 16 November 2017, 184,000 ordinary shares were issued to employees under an Employee Share Plan for total consideration of $26,000.

Further details of the performance rights, including details of rights issued during the financial year, are set out in Note 20. RIGHTS AND EXECUTIVE SHARE OPTIONS LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (LTIP) In line with its remuneration policy, the Board approved the adoption of a LTIP whereby performance rights and share options were issued to key executives and senior leaders of the Group. The key criteria for the LTIP are as follows: • Tranche 1 performance rights issued to the Joseph Demase (Managing Director) require the fulfillment of turnover and EBIT targets, as well as completion of a 3 year tenure period. • Tranche 2-5 share options require the completion of tenure periods between of 2 and 3 years. The Performance Rights and options will not give the holder a legal or beneficial interest in ordinary fully paid shares in 5G Networks until those Performance Rights and options vest. Prior to vesting, Performance Rights and options do not carry a right to vote or receive dividends. When the Performance Rights and options have vested, ordinary fully paid shares will be allocated, and these shares will rank equally with existing 5G Networks shares. 56 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 20.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT TREASURY RISK MANAGEMENT FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, local money market instruments, accounts receivable and payable, loans to and from subsidiaries, and leases. The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments is to raise finance for Group operations. The Group does not have any derivative instruments at 30 June 2018 or 30 June 2017. The totals for each category of financial instruments, measured in accordance with AASB 139 as detailed in the accounting policies to these financial statements, are as follows. The Board’s overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the consolidated Group in meeting its financial targets, whilst minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance FINANCIAL RISK EXPOSURES AND MANAGEMENT The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK The Group has no material exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies. LIQUIDITY RISK The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate unutilised borrowing facilities are maintained. Consolidated 2018 $ 2017 $ Cash flows realised from financial assets in the table below reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. 3,356,702 238,804 1,205,848 167,936 4,562,550 406,740 FINANCIAL ASSETS Cash & Cash Equivalents (Note 8) Trade & Other Receivables (Note 9) TOTAL FINANCIAL ASSETS FINANCIAL LIABILITIES Trade & Other Payables (Note 13) 756,713 24,516 Borrowings (Note 15) 347,052 - TOTAL FINANCIAL LIABILITIES 1,103,765 24,516 60 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 23.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS CREDIT RISK The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements. There are no material amounts of collateral held as security at 30 June 2018 or 30 June 2017. Credit risk is managed on a Group basis and reviewed regularly by the Board. It arises from exposures to customers as well as through deposits with financial institutions. The following table provides information regarding the credit risk relating to cash and money market securities based on Moody’s counterparty credit ratings. Consolidated 2018 $ 2017 $ CASH & CASH EQUIVALENTS Aa3 rated 3,356,702 238,804 TOTAL CASH & CASH EQUIVALENTS 3,356,702 238,804 The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the Group. INTEREST RATE AND MARKET RISK Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising returns. All of the Group’s equipment finance leases are at a fixed interest rate, and while the Group has a small level of term debt, as the Group has cash and cash equivalents in excess of the debt, the Directors consider interest rate and market risk to be low. 62 As the Group’s equipment finance leases are not material to the Group and at a fixed interest rate, no sensitivity analysis has been performed, as any +/- variation in interest rates would not have a material impact on the post-tax profit for the remaining period of the loans. A change in interest rates on the Cash on Deposit would not have a material impact to the Group and therefore no sensitivity analysis has been performed. DEBT MATURITY AND REFINANCING RISK Refinancing risk is the risk that the Group is not able to refinance the full amount of its ongoing debt requirements on appropriate terms and pricing. These exposures are not material to the Group’s operations at this point. 24. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS SUBSIDIARIES Details relating to subsidiaries are included in Note 22: Subsidiaries.
