Driven by a passion and determination to empower the customer and innovate the retail economy, Afterpay has grown rapidly to analytics are at the core of our value proposition. Our capabilities, insights and results are improving with scale and we are committed to continually building and improving our proprietary systems and intellectual property. The ability to utilise data not just to improve the profitability of our service but to enhance the value we provide become Australia’s leading ‘buy now, receive to customers and retailers is driving our now, pay later’ service. We are proud of the development efforts. outstanding success of our product which has in many ways transformed the way people spend on what we call ‘life’s little essentials’. We ascribe much of this success to putting our customers’ interests first by not charging interest and offering a free service for our customers if repayments are made on time. After launching Afterpay in the United States earlier this year, and currently planning our launch in to the United Kingdom market, we are moving further towards our goal to be the world’s most loved way to pay. We have created a retail community that is delivering incremental value to all key stakeholders in the retail industry. Now celebrating more than 2.3 million active customers and an annualised underlying sales run rate of over $3.0 billion, we are now more inspired and energised than ever to expand Afterpay’s application to additional verticals and geographies. Our ability to attract talented people in Australia and the United States has been greatly strengthened through Afterpay’s merger with Touchcorp at the end of the 2017 financial year and the strategic relationship with Matrix Partners, a successful technology focused United States based Venture Capital firm, in January 2018. The merger is now complete and the rationale for these relationships has been demonstrated by our pace of innovation and expansion into new geographies and vertical markets at speed. In order to support the continued growth of Afterpay, the Group increased its funding diversification and maturity profile during the year. The existing receivables facility with NAB was increased from $200 million in June 2017 to $300 million as of today and a NZ$20 million facility with ASB Bank (‘ASB’) was established to assist funding the Group’s New Zealand operations. The Group also successfully issued 4-year senior unsecured notes to institutional and professional investors raising $50 million. As of today, the Group has established an additional $200 million warehouse facility with Citi. The facility supplements the existing Australian NAB facility and provides a basis for developing international banking activities. 5 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE (CONTINUED) Our customers remain at the centre of everything The year saw Afterpay recognised as ‘Fintech organisation we do and the Group is committed to the of the Year’ for the second consecutive year.

The Group operates a Pay Later business, being Afterpay, and a Pay Now business, being Touchcorp. Afterpay is a significant driver of retail innovation in the markets it operates. Touchcorp is an innovative digital payments business servicing major consumer facing organisations in the telecommunication, health and convenience retail sectors. PAY LATER Pay Later provides a customer centric, omni channel retail service that facilitates commerce between retail merchants and their end- customers. Afterpay delivers its services through a proprietary platform that allows retail merchants to offer customers the ability to buy products on a ‘buy now, receive now, pay later’ basis with an easy and non-invasive application process, and at no additional cost to the end- customer. Unlike traditional credit services, the customers do not have to: • Apply for or enter into a traditional loan; PAY NOW The Pay Now business includes three divisions: Mobility, Health and E-Services. Each of these divisions provides services using the proprietary Touch System Platform. This Platform enables consumers to quickly and simply purchase products in-store, via secure self-service • Pay any additional amount (by way of interest methods, across mobile applications, web sites, or upfront fees to Afterpay) for the merchant’s interactive voice recognition (“IVR”) systems and a products as long as repayments are made on variety of other methods. time; or The underlying technology and processes • Complete cumbersome physical paperwork employed by the Pay Now business are designed that cause delays or a failure to complete to minimise friction for merchant retailers and a purchase.

The overall statutory twelve-months of 30 June 2017 and 30 June profitability of the Group was materially impacted 2018, respectively. This represents a sales growth by the one-off share-based payments expense of 288.6% year on year. Integrated merchants (non-cash) associated with the new Group continued to grow strongly up by 176.7% from Head and one-off expenditure incurred during 6,000 merchants reported at 30 June 2017 to the period related to international expansion, approximately 16,600 current live merchants Merger finalisation and additional funding at 30 June 2018.

The average customer purchases increased from $0.7k for the 2017 financial year to $1.1k for the 2018 financial year. The growth in the Afterpay brand contributed to $88.3m of the $113.9m revenue from ordinary activities, with Pay Now contributing the remaining $25.6m. Share ownership is an important element of the remuneration for executives. This aligns the interests of employees with those of the shareholders. The share-based payments expense is $16.4m (non-cash) for the year ended 30 June 2018. This has been driven primarily through the issuance of share-based payment incentives to international and local senior executives, as well as the result of the fair value Financing costs reflect interest expense, of shares to be issued to the Group Head which is financing facility expenditure, costs associated still subject to shareholder approval.

The increase in employee costs reflects both the first year that all Afterpay and Touch employees are consolidated within the same Group and an increase in headcount to support growth. There is also an increase in provisioning for losses as a direct result of the growth of the Afterpay receivables balances. The balance sheet of the Group remains strong with positive Net assets of $183.6m at 30 June 2018 compared to $160.1m as at 30 June 2017.

This is also reflective of the first year of consolidated group presentation. Underlying operating cash flows for the business remain robust adjusted for the increase in receivables associated with the growth of the Afterpay product. Excluding the impacts of receivable settlements, operating cash flows for the period were $35.4m. Receipts from customers increased from $440.9m to $2.2b, while payments to merchants increased from $516.1m to $2.3b. Given the deferred nature of the customer payments for each outgoing settlement and strong month on month growth in sales, net cash flows used for operating activities continues to be supported by financing cash flows. Key financing cash flow movements during the period relate to proceeds through the issuance of unsecured debt notes as well as further draw downs and repayment of the NAB funding facility. The Group continues to remain conservatively leveraged with significant headroom in its existing facilities supported by a large and growing receivables balance. The Group’s funding facility with NAB increased from $200m in June 2017 to $350m in November 2017, remaining at $350m at 30 June 2018. At the balance sheet date, the Group had a drawn balance of $111.6m, with $238.4m undrawn. The facility is secured against Afterpay Australia’s receivable balance. The Group also holds a NZ$20m facility available with ASB to assist funding the Group’s New Zealand operations, as at balance date there were no draw downs on this facility. Further to the above the Group has increased its funding diversification and tenor to the Group’s debt maturity profile through the issuance of 4-year senior unsecured notes to institutional and professional investors. The notes were successfully issued on 18 April 2018 raising $50m. Funds raised were utilised for general working capital purposes and planned geographical expansion. 14 DIRECTORS’ REPORT • DIRECTORS’ REPORT The performance of the Group during the financial year has been strong. The Group revenue and other income increased from $29.0 million to $142.3 million. 15 DIRECTORS’ REPORT • BUSINESS UPDATE BUSINESS UPDATE PAY LATER This year was a year of significant growth for the Afterpay business both within Australia and internationally.

The Group will focus on developing capping at 25% of the purchase value (maximum proprietary, profitable, transaction based products that fee $68 per order). Market and industry support of the Afterpay brand continues to grow evidenced by the Group being awarded ‘Fintech organisation of the year’ are scalable in their markets and add to the transaction integrity and data capabilities of the combined Group. The Group is undertaking a strategic review of the Pay Now business to ensure that all its activities are compatible within the Group’s growth strategy. 16 DIRECTORS’ REPORT • BUSINESS UPDATE REVENUE MODEL PAY LATER • Integration fees for the connection of new customers to the Touch System Platform; • Integration fees for granting existing customers Afterpay generates its revenue primarily from access to additional service models; and transaction fees paid by its retail merchant clients (Merchant Fees) in relation to underlying Afterpay sales. Merchant Fees are paid to Afterpay on each approved order placed by a customer through the Afterpay system. Merchant Fees are predominantly based on a percentage of the customer order value plus a fixed per transaction fee. Merchant Fees represented approximately 75.6% of Afterpay’s income for the twelve-month period ending 30 June 2018, with the remaining 24.4% principally comprised of late fees charged to customers who do not make their agreed instalment payments on time. Afterpay is focused on consistently reducing the percentage of revenue represented by late fees through continuous improvement of its platform and risk assessment tools. The increase in Merchant Fees during the financial year was driven by the growth in the number of merchants that provide the Afterpay service to their customers as well as an increase in the proportion of customers that choose to use Afterpay as a method of online payment with participating merchants. Seasonality will also • Infrastructure fees for providing a bespoke Touch platform. Transaction fees are calculated as either a percentage of the transaction volume (in the mobility business) or as a fixed transaction fee (in the retail e-services business). Pay Now also generates additional revenue from marketing and advertising services, mostly through the sale of advertising space in the Touch magazine, and providing other direct and indirect communications to merchant retailers and consumers. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS In the opinion of the Directors, there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial period, other than the Group restructure which was affected through the Merger as noted in this report. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR impact Afterpay transaction revenue in any given CLEARPAY period, which is a function of consumer buying patterns at different times of the calendar year. Afterpay employs capital to fund the period between paying its retail merchant clients upfront and the time it takes to recoup full payment from the customer. Afterpay aims to fully recoup the value of any discrete transaction within a maximum of 56 days. Afterpay’s business model aims to recycle capital efficiently and to drive higher transaction volumes per dollar of capital employed. The average weighted duration to Subsequent to 30 June 2018, the Group entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) to acquire ClearPay Finance Limited (ClearPay), an entity 100% owned by ThinkSmart Limited (ThinkSmart). ClearPay is a U.K. based payments company through which customers can purchase items up to £450 in value and make repayments in three interest-free monthly instalments.

The consideration for the remaining 10% can either be paid in cash or APT shares. 17 DIRECTORS’ REPORT • SIGNIFICANT EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR (CONTINUED) CAPITAL MANAGEMENT The receivables financing facility limit provided by NAB was reduced from $350m to $300m on 15 August 2018 to reflect the cash proceeds from the $50m senior unsecured notes issued by the Group in April 2018. KEY RISKS AND BUSINESS CHALLENGES The Group continues to establish its presence in the Australian, New Zealand and the United States markets. The Group’s ability to profitably scale its business is reliant on increases in transaction volumes and increases in its customer and retail On 22 August 2018, the Group incorporated merchant client base. Citi as an additional lender into the existing NAB Australian warehouse receivables facility, providing an additional $200m of funding capacity. This increased the total facility limit to fund Australian originated receivables to $500m. In particular, the Afterpay product has a competitive advantage in being one of the first to provide its style of service to the Australian, New Zealand and the United States retail markets.

Pricing will be determined via an institutional bookbuild, with an underwritten floor price of $15.75 per share. The underwritten floor price The principal risks and business challenges for the Pay Later operations are: • Ability to attract new talent and retain existing key employees in the highly competitive technology sector; represents a 9.9% discount to the 5 day VWAP • Ability to retain and grow Afterpay’s retail merchant to close of trade on 22 August 2018. New shares client base; issued under the Placement will rank equally with the Group’s existing shares. Other than noted above, no other matter or circumstance has occurred subsequent to period end that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Group or economic entity in subsequent financial years. LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Group believes there is significant scope to increase revenue and profitability from its business strategy. The Group’s focus is to deliver long-term returns, strong revenue growth and profitability to shareholders, by increasing the number of underlying Afterpay sales and Afterpay merchant fees. The Group is also focused on optimising the performance of the Pay Now business lines. Optimisation reviews are currently underway and this may result in a rationalisation of product lines or areas of focus. Further information on likely developments in the operations of the consolidated entity and the expected results of operations have not been included in this report because the Directors believe it to be commercial in confidence and therefore likely to result in unreasonable • Ability to retain and grow Pay Later customers in Australia and overseas; • Risks associated with the emergence of new technologies and customer requirements; • Success of international expansion; • Maintaining and optimising its systems and processes to make accurate real time fraud and repayment capability assessments in connection with the customer approval processes; • The possible requirement for additional funding to support the expected growth in instalment payments receivables; • Changes to the regulatory environment that may impact the Group’s products and their delivery. In order to manage these challenges, the Group has strengthened its business development resources and processes, continues to invest in improving its transaction integrity engine, and continues to invest in expanding its service offering. For the Pay Now business line, the Group continues to explore opportunities for product development complementary to the Pay Later product. In particular, the business is focused on the development of proprietary, profitable, transaction based products that are scalable in their markets and further add to the transaction integrity and data capabilities of the combined group and will not 18 prejudice to the Group. DIRECTORS’ REPORT • KEY RISKS AND BUSINESS CHALLENGES (CONTINUED) devote resources to new activities that do not assist in addressing the social and environmental issues further those objectives.

This Report forms part of the Directors’ Report and has been audited as required by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). It contains information regarding the remuneration arrangements for key management personnel (‘KMP’) of the Group and outlines the relationship between the Group’s performance and remuneration outcomes for KMPs. 1.1 OUR PHILOSOPHY The Group’s executive remuneration framework is underpinned by the philosophy of ‘Acting as Owners’. Guided by this philosophy, the Group looks to remuneration that is firstly ‘Market Competitive’, secondly offers ‘Pay for Performance’ and thirdly supports our core value of being ‘Customer-First’. We are committed to delivering remuneration that reflects these principles to ensure we attract and retain leading talent, align remuneration to shareholder outcomes and encourage the continued development of products which deliver the best possible user experience for our customers. Total remuneration for executives includes a moderate fixed component relative to ASX listed peers in favour of a higher at-risk or performance related component in the form of Short Term Incentives (STIs) and Long Term Incentives (LTIs). The Group is one of a small segment of ASX listed companies that operate in the globalised technology sector and has operations in the US market. The technology sector and US market are highly competitive for top tier talent and place a greater emphasis on at-risk remuneration in the form of share-based awards than is typical for Australian listed companies. Given this context, the Group provides a high proportion of LTI share-based payments vs fixed remuneration for senior executives to ensure the Group can be ‘Market Competitive’ and attract, motivate and retain key talent in the global technology talent pool, in order to achieve excellent performance for shareholders. The Group offers at-risk remuneration (either in the form of STI or LTI arrangements) linked to the achievement of individual and Group performance targets to align executive remuneration outcomes with shareholder outcomes. In this way the Group’s and the individual’s actual performance directly affects what the executive is paid and a ‘Pay for Performance’ link is established. In the case of LTI share-based awards, an executive’s remuneration is also directly linked to the value of APT shares creating a strong alignment of interests. REMUNERATION PRINCIPLES MARKET COMPETITIVE PAY FOR PERFORMANCE The Group is focused on never losing sight of its key stakeholders including customers, merchants, shareholders and external parties such as interest groups. Business and operational risk have also been a consideration in designing the remuneration framework, including with regard to the performance targets chosen, deferred vesting periods and, in some instances, the Board’s discretion on approving and granting payments. CUSTOMER FIRST 1.2 CHANGES TO OUR REMUNERATION FRAMEWORK FOR FY19 FY18 EXECUTIVE KMP REMUNERATION PROGRAMMES AT-RISK EQUITY PLAN FOR EMPLOYEES OF US BUSINESS FY19 REMUNERATION PROGRAMMES At-risk Executive STI arrangement which is available to a small group of senior executives including KMP. Further information about STI arrangements is set out in sections 3.2 below At-risk Executive LTI arrangement which is available to a small group of senior executives including KMP. Under Executive LTI arrangements, executives are issued one-off share-based grants (in the form of options, loan shares or performance rights) at the time they commence employment, with deferred vesting, in order to attract key executive talent into the organisation. Further information about the LTI arrangements is set out in section 3.3 below. During the year, an at-risk equity plan was established for employees of the US business (‘US ESOP’) which is designed to attract, retain and incentivise talent in the US market to grow the business in that region in line with the Group’s strategic objectives. No members of KMP are currently eligible to participate in this plan. Further information about the US ESOP Plan is set out in section 3.4 below. In FY19 the Group’s STI and LTI remuneration programmes will be reviewed with a view to driving an even stronger ‘Acting as Owners’ philosophy, to more closely align these programmes with market practice of ASX listed companies and to potentially make them available to a broader cross- section of employees. Further details regarding the new arrangements will be disclosed in the Group’s FY19 Remuneration Report. 21 REMUNERATION REPORT • INTRODUCTION TO REMUNERATION AT AFTERPAY TOUCH GROUP (CONTINUED) 1.3 WHO IS COVERED BY THIS REPORT This Report covers KMP of the Group, who are the people responsible for determining and executing the Group’s strategy. This includes KMP (the Executive Chairman, Executive Directors and heads of business units who are part of the executive leadership team) as well as Non-Executive Directors. TABLE 1.

Full Year Full Year Part Year Part Year Part Year Part Year SECTION 2: EXECUTIVE KMP REMUNERATION OVERVIEW Executive KMP remuneration is linked to the drivers of the Group’s business strategy and is aimed at rewarding executives for delivering excellent performance and generating value for shareholders. The at-risk components of remuneration (STI and LTI) are tied to measures that reflect the successful execution of our business strategy over both the short and long term. This means the Group’s actual performance directly affects what KMP are paid. 2.1 EXECUTIVE KMP REMUNERATION IN THE REPORTING PERIOD Total remuneration for KMP includes both a moderate fixed component (base salary) and an at-risk or performance related component (STI and LTI awards). An outline of these components is set out below. 22             REMUNERATION REPORT • EXECUTIVE KMP REMUNERATION (CONTINUED) TABLE 2. ELEMENTS OF EXECUTIVE KMP REMUNERATION ELEMENT FIXED REMUNERATION AT-RISK - STI AT-RISK - LTI WHAT DOES THIS COMPONENT INCLUDE? WHAT DOES PAYMENT DEPEND ON? HOW IS THIS COMPONENT DELIVERED? Base salary, superannuation and other benefits (such as relocation allowances). Reward for strong individual and Group performance during the financial year. The skills, performance, experience and role of each individual. The Group has implemented moderate fixed remuneration relative to market capitalisation in favour of higher at-risk components. Achievement of financial and non-financial key performance indicators (‘KPIs’), and subject to a financial gateway hurdle. Cash Cash WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS REMUNERATION COMPONENT? Provide ongoing remuneration in recognition of day-to-day accountabilities. Motivate and reward excellent performance in the shorter term. Reward for longer-term individual and Group performance during the two or three-year performance period. Achievement of financial and non-financial performance conditions. Typically, options, loan shares or performance rights vesting in two or three equal tranches after 1, 2 or 3 years following the grant date (as appropriate). Typically, one-off grants designed to attract executive talent into the organisation, motivate and reward excellent performance in the longer term and provide a retention element whilst aligning with shareholder outcomes through the award of equity. 2.2 LINK BETWEEN EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION AND PERFORMANCE The Group achieved exceptional growth in both revenue and underlying profitability which translated to a material appreciation in the Group’s share price across the Reporting Period. The following table provides a summary of the Group’s financial performance during the Reporting Period. Afterpay Holdings Limited listed on the ASX in May 2016 and merged with Touchcorp Limited in June 2017 to form the new entity Afterpay Touch Group Limited. On this basis, the metrics in the table below reflect FY18 Group performance, and FY17 metrics relate to Afterpay Holdings Limited. TABLE 3.

No share price is shown for 30 June 2016 as the current legal entity did not exist and the different capitalisation structure of Afterpay Holdings makes any comparison misleading The Group’s shares price performed particularly strongly during the Reporting Period when compared to the benchmark ASX200 Index. The Group’s share price rose from $2.95 at 30 June 2017 to $9.35 at 29 June 2018 (the last trading day of the financial year). Over the same time period the ASX200 Index rose from 5,721.5 to 6,194.6. This represented a return to Afterpay Touch Group shareholders of 216.9% compared with 8.3% for the ASX200 Index as illustrated by the following chart. 23   REMUNERATION REPORT • EXECUTIVE KMP REMUNERATION (CONTINUED) FIGURE 1: PERFORMANCE OF APT VS. ASX 200 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 APT ASX 200 JUNE 17 JUNE 18 SOURCE: FACTSET SECTION 3: EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION IN THE REPORTING PERIOD 3.1 FIXED REMUNERATION All senior executives receive fixed remuneration which includes cash, compulsory superannuation and any salary-sacrificed items (including fringe benefits). As appropriate, KMP receive additional support including accommodation allowances, travel, ad-hoc taxation advice and insurance. KMP do not receive retirement benefits beyond superannuation. When determining the level of fixed remuneration for each role, the Group considers the remuneration levels offered at organisations from which it sources talent and to whom it could potentially lose talent. From time to time, the Board engages independent remuneration advisers to provide remuneration benchmarking data as input into setting remuneration for KMP. Typically, fixed remuneration for the Group’s KMP is lower than the average of larger ASX listed companies given our focus on variable ‘at-risk’ remuneration. 3.2 EXECUTIVE STI AWARDS GRANTED DURING REPORTING PERIOD The table below outlines the key terms and conditions applying to the Executive STI arrangements for the KMPs during the Reporting Period. TABLE 4. DESCRIPTION OF EXECUTIVE STI GRANTED IN FY18 OVERVIEW OF STI DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD STI arrangements are an at-risk component of executive remuneration involving the payment of a cash award if vesting conditions are met, including satisfaction of performance conditions. PERFORMANCE PERIOD STI awards are measured over the 12-month financial year. Any STI award payments are made after performance is tested at the end of the performance period. PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS STI performance conditions include Group KPIs and individual KPIs. Group KPIs may consist of financial, strategic and customer satisfaction components including revenue growth; Net Transaction Margin performance; Net Promoter Scores and underlying profitability measures. These measures have been chosen as they are significant factors in the Group’s overall financial performance and its reputation within the markets it operates. Individual KPIs consist of personal business goals which align with the Group’s strategies, as well as a compliance component. The Board believes that having a mix of financial and non-financial KPIs will provide measurable financial performance criteria strongly linked to year-on-year shareholder returns and encourage the achievement of personal business goals consistent with the Group’s overall objectives. 24 REMUNERATION REPORT • EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION IN THE REPORTING PERIOD (CONTINUED) MEASUREMENT OF PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS Performance against the KPIs is assessed annually by the Board based on recommendations from the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and Group Head after the end of the performance period as part of the broader performance review process for each KMP. Financial and non-financial conditions are assessed quantitatively against predetermined benchmarks where appropriate. When testing financial KPIs, financial results are extracted by reference to the Group’s financial statements. These methods of assessing performance were chosen because they are, as far as practicable, objective and fair. The use of financial statements ensures the integrity of the measure and alignment with the true financial performance of the Group. TREATMENT ON CESSATION OF EMPLOYMENT If a KMP ceases to be employed during the 12-month performance period in ‘good leaver’ circumstances, they may be entitled to a pro rata STI award unless the Board determines otherwise. PERCENTAGE OF STI PAID AND FORFEITED DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD Details of the STI outcomes during the Reporting Period are outlined in the table below. TABLE 5. EXECUTIVE KMP STI OUTCOMES EXECUTIVE KMP MAXIMUM STI OPPORTUNITY1 DOLLAR VALUE OF STI AWARD GRANTED2 % OF MAXIMUM STI AWARD GRANTED % OF MAXIMUM STI AWARD FORFEITED Anthony Eisen4 N/A David Hancock 300,000 Nicholas Molnar 300,000 Luke Bortoli Nadine Lennie3 - - 300,000 300,000 300,000 - - N/A 100% 100% N/A N/A N/A 0% 0% N/A N/A 1. The minimum potential value of STI awards is nil. 2. The STI cash award will be paid to eligible Executive KMP in September 2018. 3. Nadine Lennie ceased employment with the Group during the performance period, and accordingly her STI award was forfeited. 4. Anthony Eisen’s terms of employment do not specify a STI component. The Board has approved a discretionary payment in relation to Anthony Eisen’s performance for the Reporting Period. 3.3 EXECUTIVE LTI AWARDS The table below outlines the key terms and conditions applying to the Executive LTI arrangements for the KMPs during the Reporting Period. TABLE 6. DESCRIPTION OF LTI OVERVIEW OF EXECUTIVE LTI ARRANGEMENT DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD FORM OF AWARD Executive LTI awards are an at-risk component of executive remuneration typically involving the one-off grant of share-based awards (in the form of options, performance rights or loan shares) at the time the executive commences employment. They are used to attract and retain key executive talent to the organisation. The Group will continue to review its incentive arrangements on an ongoing basis to ensure they continue to meet the evolving needs of the Group. One-off LTI grants are likely to remain a key remuneration arrangement designed to attract executives and retain talent over the medium term. Options entitle the holder to one share in the Group for every option exercised, subject to satisfaction of performance conditions and payment of the exercise price. Options are granted for nil consideration as they are part of an executive’s remuneration. Please refer to Table 12 for details of options awarded during the Reporting Period. Loan shares are shares subject to an interest-free non-recourse loan and are subject to dealing restrictions until the loan is repaid. Refer to Table 12 for details of loan share LTIs during the Reporting Period. Performance rights entitle the holder to one share in the Group for each right that vests, subject to satisfaction of performance conditions. No performance rights were granted during the Reporting Period. 25 REMUNERATION REPORT • EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION IN THE REPORTING PERIOD (CONTINUED) PERFORMANCE PERIOD LTI awards typically vest in two or three equal tranches after 1, 2 or 3 years following the grant date (as appropriate). LTI awards only vest after performance against the performance conditions is measured after each of the relevant vesting dates. PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS A combination of individual financial and non-financial performance conditions is chosen that is relevant to each KMP. These KPIs will ultimately drive future growth and returns for shareholders in the medium to long term. Non-financial individual targets are chosen to encourage the achievement of personal business goals consistent with the Group’s overall strategic objectives. MEASUREMENT OF PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS Performance against KPIs is assessed annually for each member of the KMP after each of the relevant vesting dates by the Board based on recommendations from the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and Group Head where appropriate. Financial and non-financial performance conditions are assessed quantitatively against predetermined benchmarks where appropriate. When testing the financial performance conditions, financial results are extracted by reference to the Group’s financial statements. Where quantitative assessment is not practicable, qualitative performance appraisals are undertaken by the Board in consultation with the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. These methods of assessing performance were chosen because they are, as far as practicable, objective and fair. The use of financial statements ensures the integrity of the measure and alignment with the true financial performance of the Group. DISPOSAL RESTRICTIONS Options are subject to dealing restrictions until they are exercised. Upon exercise and payment of the exercise price, participants are allocated fully paid ordinary shares in the Group. Loan shares are subject to dealing restrictions until they have vested and the loan has been repaid, unless otherwise determined by the Board. Participants are free to deal with the shares allocated to them following vesting (and exercise where applicable) subject to the Group’s Securities Trading Policy. TREATMENT ON CESSATION OF EMPLOYMENT Options only vest at the applicable vesting date if the participant: • remains employed with the Group on that date; or • they have ceased employment as a “good leaver” (for example, due to death, total or permanent disablement, illness, genuine redundancy, or other factors determined by the Board to constitute sufficient reason to treat the person as a “good leaver”). Loan Shares vest on the applicable vesting date if the participant remains employed on that date, or earlier if they cease employment as a good leaver. If a takeover bid is made, or a scheme of arrangement, selective capital reduction or other transaction is initiated which has an effect similar to a full takeover bid for shares in the Group, the Board has discretion to waive any outstanding performance conditions. The Board has broad clawback powers that it may exercise if, for example, a participant has acted fraudulently or unlawfully or engaged in conduct in material breach of the Group’s policies and codes of conduct. CHANGE OF CONTROL CLAWBACK 3.4 U.S. ESOP PLAN In line with the Group’s objective of expanding into the United States market, the Board established a US equity incentive plan (‘US ESOP Plan’) during the Reporting period for employees of the Group’s wholly owned subsidiary, Afterpay US, Inc (‘Afterpay US’). During FY18, the Group made a number of senior appointments in the US with the US ESOP Plan being a key driver of their appointment. The US ESOP Plan allows for an entitlement of up to 10% of the fully diluted stock of Afterpay US to employees, directors, and consultants. The options will convert to either APT shares or, if a direct IPO of Afterpay U.S. occurs, shares in the Afterpay U.S. entity. The Board supported the development of an employee equity incentive plan dedicated to US employees in order to maximise the chances of successfully delivering on the Group’s US growth aspirations and attracting world-class talent. The Board obtained advice that the US Plan was designed in line with typical US option plan structures and would therefore be competitive in attracting and retaining talent in that regard. In the FY18 period, no KMP participated in the US ESOP plan. 26 REMUNERATION REPORT • EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION IN THE REPORTING PERIOD (CONTINUED) 3.5 EXECUTIVE CONTRACTS All KMP have a written executive service agreement with the Group. The key terms of these agreements are set out below: TABLE 7. KEY TERMS OF KMP CONTRACTS IN FY18 TERM EXECUTIVE KMP DURATION Ongoing term PERIODS OF NOTICE REQUIRED TO TERMINATE Either party may terminate the contract by giving 3 months’ notice for all KMP other than David Hancock for whom 6 months’ notice applies. The Group may terminate immediately in certain circumstances, including where the relevant Executive KMP engages in serious misconduct. TERMINATION PAYMENTS David Hancock is entitled to six months’ base salary where termination occurs (i) by the Company without notice or for incapacity, or (ii) by David Hancock on other grounds (such as a material adverse change in role). David Hancock is not entitled to this payment if the Company terminates for cause. Other members of the KMP are entitled to 3 months’ salary where termination occurs other than for cause. SECTION 4: REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE OVERVIEW The following table represents the Group’s remuneration decision making structure. FIGURE 2. REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE AND DECISION MAKING BOARD Review and approve remuneration framework, remuneration principles and specific remuneration outcomes for Executive Directors. Exercise of discretion in relation to targets, goals and funding pools. REMUNERATION AND NOMINATION COMMITTEE The Board has adopted a Remuneration Policy. In line with that Policy, the Committee is responsible for assisting the Board to determine the appropriate remuneration and KPIs for directors and senior management. The Committee refers to the Policy when developing Board recommendations about KMP remuneration outcomes. MANAGEMENT REMUNERATION ADVISERS Proposals on executive remuneration outcomes Implementing remuneration policies External and independent remuneration advice and information 4.1 BOARD AND REMUNERATION AND NOMINATION COMMITTEE RESPONSIBILITIES The Remuneration and Nomination Committee assists the Board in setting remuneration strategies and determining remuneration of and incentives for Non-Executive Directors, Executive Directors, the Group Head and other senior executives. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee Charter sets out the Remuneration and Nomination Committee’s role and responsibilities, composition, structure and membership requirements. It is critical that the Remuneration and Nomination Committee is independent of management when making decisions affecting employee remuneration. Accordingly, the Committee is comprised entirely of Non-Executive Directors, all of whom are independent. Where appropriate, the Group Head, Executive Chairman and Chief Financial Officer attend Committee meetings, however they do not participate in formal decision-making or in discussions relating to their own remuneration. 27 REMUNERATION REPORT • REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE (CONTINUED) Details of the composition and responsibilities of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee are set out in the Corporate Governance Statement which can be found at the Corporate Governance section of our website. 4.2 USE OF REMUNERATION CONSULTANTS The Remuneration and Nomination Committee may seek and consider advice from external advisers from time to time to assist the Committee discharge its duties. Any advice from consultants is used to guide the Committee and the Board, but does not serve as a substitute for thorough consideration by Non-Executive Directors. Remuneration advisers may be engaged by the Chairperson of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, however, during the Reporting Period, consultants did not provide the Remuneration and Nomination Committee with remuneration recommendations relating to KMP. Benchmark data and tax advice only was provided to the Committee. SECTION 5: NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION OVERVIEW OF POLICY The table below sets out the key objectives of the Group’s Non-Executive Director remuneration policy and how they are achieved through the Group’s remuneration framework. TABLE 8. NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION POLICY SECURING AND RETAINING TALENTED, QUALIFIED DIRECTORS The Remuneration and Nomination Committee makes recommendations to the Board regarding remuneration for Non-Executive Directors. PRESERVING INDEPENDENCE AND IMPARTIALITY ALIGNING DIRECTOR AND SECURITY HOLDER INTERESTS Director remuneration consists of base fees and additional fees for the Chairman of any Board Committee. No element of Non- Executive Director remuneration is ‘at risk’ to preserve the Directors’ independence and impartiality. Directors are encouraged to hold securities in the Group to create alignment between the interests of Directors and shareholders. The Board will continue to review its approach to Non-Executive Director remuneration to ensure it remains market competitive and in line with high standards of corporate governance. 5.1 COMPONENTS AND DETAILS OF NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION Non-Executive Directors’ fees (including committee fees) are set by the Board within the maximum aggregate amount of A$700,000 approved by shareholders at this time. The executive directors, including the Executive Chairman, are not entitled to be paid Directors’ fees. Given the growth and increase in complexity of the business, annual Non-Executive Directors’ fees were benchmarked by independent consultants during the Reporting Period. Benchmarking was undertaken against similar industries as well as across companies with a similar market capitalisation. Based on this benchmarking analysis, it was agreed to increase the base fees per annum for each Non-Executive Director from $60,000 to $85,000 per annum with effect from 1 January 2018 reflecting the increase in Group market capitalisation from $627m at 30 June 2017 to $1.3b at 1 January 2018. The Chairman and members of each Committee receive an additional fee. These fees are set out in the table below. 28 REMUNERATION REPORT • NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION (CONTINUED) TABLE 9.

Does not represent full year. Barry Odes started on 15 September 2016 and Matthew Walton started on 10 October 2016. The Group announced on 30 August 2017 that it intended to offer David Hancock 2m loan funded shares (‘Loan Shares’) as part of the LTI component of his remuneration package. This grant reflected David Hancock joining the Group in the newly created role of Group Head at a moderate fixed remuneration and potential STI opportunity relative to ASX listed peers in favour of higher long-term at-risk performance incentives that aligns David Hancock with shareholders. The grant of Loan Shares remains subject to shareholder approval. This structure means that the majority of David Hancock’s $12.7m total remuneration relates to the proposed one-off LTI grant. The proposed issue price of the Loan Shares will be the volume weighted average price of the shares on the ASX for the 5 trading days up to and including the grant date which will be a date as soon as practicable following shareholder approval. Assuming shareholder approval is received, a loan will be issued to David Hancock for the total value of the Loan Shares. The first tranche of the proposed one-off LTI grant of Loan Shares will vest on 1 September 2018 (or the date shareholder approval is received if this occurs after this date) and the second tranche will vest on 1 September 2019, subject to David Hancock remaining an employee on the relevant vesting date or ceasing employment as a ‘good leaver’ as determined by the Board. The loan or a proportion thereof, will become payable upon the earlier of David Hancock disposing of any vested Loan Shares or the expiry of the loan on 1 September 2022. The loan may become payable earlier under certain circumstances including if David Hancock ceases to be an employee of the Group. Upon expiry or sale of the Loan Shares, part of the loan balance may be waived if David Hancock satisfies certain conditions. The proportion of the loan balance that may be waived will be the tax adjusted difference per share between the issue price of the loan shares and $2.70. This arrangement provides for an effective purchase price of the Loan Shares of $2.70 plus the capital gains tax that would otherwise be payable on the difference between the issue price and $2.70 by the Group Head. The $2.70 figure represents the share price upon formation of the Group at the Merger and reflects the intention to implement the LTI as if it had been in place from the date David Hancock 30 assumed the substantive responsibilities of Group Head. REMUNERATION REPORT • ADDITIONAL STATUTORY DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED) The Group’s share price increased 246% from 29 June 2017 (the first date the Group’s shares were quoted after the Merger) to 30 June 2018. On this basis, the value of the proposed one-off LTI grant of loan shares has increased in line with the significant increase in APTs share price since the Merger. The valuation of the proposed one-off LTI grant of loan shares will continue to change with the Group’s share price until such time as the proposed LTI grant is approved by shareholders with the issue price of the shares and the grant date then fixed. The proposed one-off LTI grant of loan shares is recognised in the profit and loss statement as a share-based payments expense but is a non-cash charge. There is an accrual for fringe benefits tax associated with the loan arrangement in the share-based payments expense as a result of the tax consequences of potentially waiving the loan balance if certain conditions are satisfied. 6.2 MOVEMENTS IN SECURITIES The number of shares in the Group held during the Reporting Period by each member of KMP, including their related parties, are set out below.

KMPs have been granted options that vest over a number of years as detailed in Section 3.3. The Board makes an assessment of each KMP’s performance in line with the criteria in Section 3.3 at each vesting date and will only allow the options to vest if it determines that the KMP has met or exceeded his or her individual KPIs. Additionally, the value of the options is intrinsically linked with the Group’s share price performance. Options may vest at zero realisable value where the Group’s share price is below the exercise price of the options. Share options and loan shares do not carry any voting or dividend rights and can only be exercised once the vesting conditions have been met, until their expiry. 31 REMUNERATION REPORT • ADDITIONAL STATUTORY DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED) TABLE 12: OPTIONS AND LOAN SHARES HELD UNDER AN EMPLOYEE SHARE PLAN OPTIONS AWARDED DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD LOAN SHARES AWARDED DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD FINANCIAL YEAR FAIR VALUE PER OPTION AT AWARD DATE 4 $ AWARD DATE VESTING DATE 5 EXERCISE PRICE 6 $ EXPIRY DATE 7 NUMBER VESTED DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD NUMBER LAPSED DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD VALUE OF OPTIONS GRANTED DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD $ VALUE OF LOAN SHARES RECORDED DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD $ VALUE OF LOAN SHARES EXERCISED DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD 8 $ 2018 2018 2018 2018 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 500,000 500,000 - 2,000,000 23/8/17 5.93 1/9/18 4.26 1/9/22 66,667 - - - - - - - 128,000 - - - - - - - - - 11,986,348 - - - - - 628,480 2018 1,350,000 - 1/6/18 3.45 1/6/19 5.00 31/12/22 - - 4,657,500 - - NAME Anthony Eisen Nicholas Molnar David Hancock1 Nadine Lennie2 Luke Bortoli3 1. David Hancock’s one-off loan shares to be granted subject to approval from shareholders. Although such approval has not yet been received, these loan shares have been included for accounting purposes for the time that the Group Head was employed in that capacity. Half of David Hancock’s loan shares will vest on 1 September 2018 and the remainder will vest on 1 September 2019. 2. Nadine Lennie’s loan shares were granted on 19 April 2017 with an exercise price $2.22 and were fully vested on 31 December 2017. 3. One third of Luke Bortoli’s options will vest at 1 June 2019, 1 June 2020 and 1 June 2021, respectively. 4. The fair value of options and loan shares are calculated using the Binomial Model. David Hancock’s Loan Shares are fair valued as at 30 June 2018. 5. Vesting date is the earliest date the vested options can be exercised. 6. The calculation of exercise prices and fair values for loan shares and options is discussed in further detail in Note 13. Note in particular that under AASB 2 Share-based payments, the Loan Shares are treated as “in substance options”. 7. The expiry date of loan shares refers to the date upon which the loan must be repaid. Loans may be repayable earlier upon certain conditions being satisfied such as the employee ceasing their employment. A portion of the repayment requirement may be waived as discussed in Section 6.1. 8. The value at exercise date has been determined by the share price at the close of business on exercise date less the Loan Share exercise price, multiplied by the number of Loan Shares exercised during 2018. As the loan provided by the Group to David Hancock to fund the purchase of the shares is limited recourse, the Group classifies the loan shares as “in substance options” under the Australian Accounting Standards. The figures in Table 12 have been prepared accordingly.

Although such approval has not yet been received, these loan shares have been included for accounting purposes for the time that the Group Head was employed in that capacity. 3. Options that vested in the year are disclosed in Table 12. While no KMP options were exercised during the year, no options that vested during the year were unexercisable. 32 REMUNERATION REPORT • ADDITIONAL STATUTORY DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED) 6.3 ACTUAL REMUNERATION SNAPSHOT The table below outlines a summary of the actual take-home pay received by Executive KMP during the Reporting Period. Unlike the statutory remuneration tables in Section 5, the below table has not been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Australian Accounting Standards and is unaudited. The table is included on a voluntary basis to show the remuneration actually received by Executive KMP during the Reporting Period, rather than remuneration calculated on an accrual basis. The appreciation of the Group’s share price during the year has resulted in a material uplift in the market value of options vested during the year. As these options have not been exercised, this value has not been realised by the relevant KMPs. TABLE 14.

Total fixed remuneration earned in FY18 includes base salary and superannuation as well as annual leave accruals but excludes other benefits (e.g. relocation expenses, accommodation allowances and tax advice). 2. This reflects the actual STI earned for performance in FY17 (paid in FY18). These payments were made under employment contracts with Afterpay Holdings Limited. 3. This reflects the fair value of options that vested in FY18. The fair value was calculated using the Binomial Model as at the date the options were granted. Options that remained unvested in FY18, including any options granted in FY18, do not appear in this table as no value was realised by KMP from those options in FY18. 4. 500,000 options with a strike price of $1.00 vested for Anthony Eisen and Nicholas Molnar in the year. 66,667 options with an exercise price of $1.00 vested for David Hancock. None of the vested options were exercised in the Reporting Period but are included to reflect they are exercisable at the KMP’s discretion. Loan shares that remain unvested, including those granted in FY18, do not appear in this table as no value was realised by David Hancock from those loan shares in FY18. 5. David Hancock was not an employee of Afterpay Holdings Limited in FY17 and was therefore ineligible for a STI award. 6. Luke Bortoli commenced employment on 21 May 2018 and on this basis no STI or LTI was eligible to vest in FY18. Luke Bortoli’s fixed remuneration is the amount accrued for the Reporting Period but was paid in July 2018. 7. The market value of options at year end is calculated as the closing price for Group shares as reported by Factset at 29 June 2018 of $9.35 less the strike price for the options of $1 multiplied by the number of options that vested during the year for each KMP. This methodology represents a significantly higher value per option than the fair value at the time of grant reflecting the Group’s significant share price appreciation from the date of grant. 6.4 LOANS TO KMP No KMP or their related parties held any loans from the Group during or at the end of the Reporting Period. Loan shares are treated under AASB 2 as “in substance options” and not recognised as loans in the accounts. 6.5 OTHER KMP TRANSACTIONS During the year, payment relating to consulting services totalling $5,000 were made by the Group companies to Finarch Pty Ltd, a related entity of David Hancock. This payment related to the outstanding balance from the 2017 financial year prior to David Hancock assuming the role of Group Head. Dana Stalder joined the Board during the year as part of the US$15m investment from Matrix Partners, a venture capital firm of which Dana Stalder is a General Partner. 33 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED) INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS INDEMNIFICATION OF AUDITORS During the year the Group paid a premium for a To the extent permitted by law, the Group has agreed Directors and Officers Liability Insurance Policy. to indemnify its auditors, Ernst & Young, as part of the This policy covers Directors and Officers of the terms of its audit engagement agreement against claims Group and the consolidated entity.

BASIS OF PREPARATION CORPORATE INFORMATION The consolidated financial statements of Afterpay Touch Group Limited for the year ended 30 June 2018 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 23 August 2018. The securities of Afterpay Touch Group Limited (the Company) are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The activities of Afterpay Touch Group Limited and its subsidiaries (the Group) are described in the Directors’ Report. The Group’s principal place of business is 406 Collins Street, Melbourne Victoria, Australia. The Company was incorporated on 30 March 2017 as a for-profit company and domiciled in Australia. On 19 June 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of Afterpay and Touchcorp which resulted in the Company becoming the ultimate parent of Afterpay Holdings Limited and Touchcorp Limited. The Company was incorporated as a special- purpose company to make an offer to acquire all of the shares of Afterpay and Touchcorp. The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2017 are presented as the continuation of Afterpay financial statements and the acquisition of Touchcorp as at 30 June 2017. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis and is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand ($’000), except when otherwise indicated. A. COMPLIANCE WITH IFRS The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. B. COMPARATIVES Certain amounts in the comparative information have been restated to conform with current period financial statement presentation. C. FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars, which is the functional currency of the parent entity. Entities in the Group may have other functional currencies, reflecting the currency of the primary economic environment in which the relevant entity operates. If an entity in the Group has undertaken transactions in foreign currency, these transactions are translated into that entity’s functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Where the functional currency of a subsidiary is not Australian dollars, the subsidiary’s assets and liabilities are translated on consolidation to Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date, and its profit and loss is translated at average exchange rates. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. D. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial information comprises the financial information of the Group and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2018. The Group has control of its subsidiaries when it is exposed to, and has the rights to, variable returns from its involvement with those entities and when it has the ability to affect those returns. A list of significant controlled entities (subsidiaries) at year-end is contained in Note 17. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest and other components of equity while any resultant gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any investment retained is recognised at fair value. E. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS Management has identified a number of accounting policies for which significant judgements, estimates and assumptions are made. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the financial position reported in future periods. Further details of these assumptions may be found in the relevant notes to the financial statements. 43 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Group determines and presents operating segments based on the information that is provided internally to review and support decision making within the business. The business operates under two key business lines: • Pay Later which comprises Afterpay Australia, New Zealand and the United States. • Pay Now which comprises Mobility and Payments, Health and Retail Services. Services provided between operating segments are on arm’s length basis. While the Group has operations in New Zealand, Europe and the United States, the business segments operate principally in Australia. 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – REVENUE REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent that is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised. RENDERING OF SERVICES – PAY LATER The Group facilitates the sales of products and services by merchants to end-customers by allowing end-customers to buy now and pay later without having to take out a traditional loan or paying any interest and fees. Afterpay pays merchants upfront and assumes all non-payment risk. For this, the merchant pays Afterpay a fee with revenue recognised for the service upon end-customers’ acceptance through the Afterpay System.

Revenue from integration services is recognised by reference Afterpay and Touchcorp, together with the future anticipated Afterpay Touch Group Board and executive representation, Afterpay was identified as the acquirer of Touchcorp Ltd and the Afterpay to stage of completion of a contract or contracts Touch Group. in progress at balance date. Stage of completion is measured by reference to labour hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated labour hours for each contract. Where there is a final customer acceptance condition in the contract, revenue is recognised only upon customer acceptance. Where the contract outcome cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that the expenses incurred are eligible to be recovered. OTHER INCOME - LATE FEE CHARGES Late fee charges are currently used by Afterpay as an incentive mechanism in order to encourage The fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Touchcorp as at the date of acquisition were: NOTE $’000 Property, plant and equipment Intangible assets 10 Cash and cash equivalents Receivables and other current assets Deferred tax asset, net 6 Payables 4,384 42,486 17,169 167,726 2,086 (18,586) 215,265 end-customers to pay their outstanding balances Net assets acquired as and when they fall due. Revenue is recognised upon charge to end-customer at certain time points where late fees become applicable and are expected to be recovered. INTEREST REVENUE Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. 4. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS On 19 June 2017, the Group acquired 100% of the voting shares of Afterpay and Touchcorp shares. The rationale for the Merger was compelling as it brought together the complementary skill and product sets of Afterpay and Touchcorp. Afterpay has grown its merchant numbers, customer numbers and revenues at a strong rate since Afterpay commenced business in the first half of 2015, with that growth supported and enabled in a technology sense by Touchcorp. The Merger brought together the key executives responsible for this success under a single company structure allowing shareholders in both Afterpay and Touchcorp to benefit from having a single corporate objective. Goodwill arising on acquisition Purchase consideration transferred 10 23,575 238,840 Number of shares issue to Touchcorp shareholders (’000) 82,322 Fair value of shares issued ($’000) 237,088 Fair value of employee shares issued subject to non-recourse loans ($’000) Total purchase consideration ($’000) 1,752 238,840 The net assets recognised in the 30 June 2017 financial statements were based on the provisional assessment of their value while the Group sought an independent valuation for the Touchcorp intangible assets. The valuations had not been completed by the date the 2017 financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors. During the financial year, the fair valuation of net assets acquired was completed and the fair value of the core technology intangible assets was $27.0m, an increase of $9.6m and a customer contract intangible asset of $15.3m was recognised. The 2017 comparative information was restated to reflect the adjustment to the provisional amounts. As a result of the fair value uplift of the intangible assets, there was an increase in the deferred tax liabilities of $7.8m. These fair value adjustments decreased the provisional goodwill by $17.2m to $23.6m. Refer to Note 10 for details. The purchase consideration was based on Afterpay’s share price of $2.88, being the share price at the close of business on 19 June 2017. 45 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS • BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (CONTINUED) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS 5. EXPENSES BUSINESS COMBINATIONS Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at acquisition date fair value, and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. For core technology, a valuation methodology based on a replacement cost model was used, as there is a lack of comparable market data because of the nature of the assets. For customer contracts, a discounted cash flow model was used and this is based on historical data and estimated future performance of each contract. Goodwill is initially measured at cost (being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non- controlling interests and any previous interest held over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed). If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognised at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, the gain is recognised in profit or loss.

This relates to the 5-year customer development contract to develop and pay rebates to a party with whom Touchcorp sought to co-operate to increase the numbers of transactions carried on the Touch System Platform. Due to the financial performance and the changing focus of the merged Group, in the 2017 financial statements, the Group impaired the prepaid asset related to the agreement of $5.9m and recognised an onerous contract provision of $7.7m. The provision had been calculated on the remaining cost to fulfill the obligations, which was fully paid by the end of 30 June 2018. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES EMPLOYEE LEAVE BENEFITS 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 respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Expenses for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable. 46 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 6. INCOME TAX A.

Differences arising recognise their own current tax and deferred between the actual results and the assumptions tax assets and liabilities arising from temporary made, or future changes to such assumptions, differences using the “standalone taxpayer could necessitate future adjustments to current approach” by reference to the carrying amounts and deferred tax already recorded. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES INCOME TAX Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. Current tax in respect of the taxable income for the year is measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to of assets and liabilities in the separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation. In addition to its current and deferred tax balances, Afterpay Touch Group Limited has assumed the current tax liabilities and any deferred tax assets arising from unused tax credits or losses of the members in the tax consolidated group.

The arrangements require payments to/ or substantively enacted by the reporting date. (from) the head entity equal to the current tax Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method in which temporary differences are calculated based on the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised, or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax credits and tax losses, only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the assets can be utilised. liability/(asset) assumed by the head entity and any deferred taxes relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits transferred to the head entity, resulting in the head entity recognising an inter-entity receivable/(payable) equal in amount to the tax liability/(asset) assumed. The inter-entity receivables/(payables) are at call. Contributions to fund the current tax liabilities are payable as per the tax funding arrangement. The head entity, in conjunction with other members of the tax-consolidated group, has entered into a tax sharing agreement. The tax sharing agreement provides for the determination of the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should be the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. No amounts have been recognised in the financial statements in respect of this agreement as payment of any amounts under Unrecognised deferred tax assets are the tax sharing agreement is considered remote. reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. OTHER TAXES Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST) except: • When the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable. • Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. 48 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS • INCOME TAX (CONTINUED) The net amount of GST recoverable from, or SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, is classified as operating cash flows.

Collectability of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Individual debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. BAD AND DOUBTFUL DEBT PROVISION The provision for bad and doubtful debts are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Management estimates and assumptions are based on historical loss experience. Historical loss experience is adjusted based on current observable data. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly and updated for actual payment history. 50 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 10.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS – RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT GOODWILL On acquisition, goodwill is initially measured at the excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration of the acquired business over the fair value of the identifiable net assets. Goodwill is allocated to each of the cash generating units expected to benefit from the business combination. Goodwill is not amortised, but is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Impairment 51 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS • PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED) is reviewed annually or more frequently if circumstances arise which indicate potential impairment. The results of the impairment test outlines that each cash generating unit’s recoverable amount exceeds the carrying value of its net assets, inclusive of goodwill. The recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing for impairment, the Group’s assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash flows from other assets or cash generating units. Assets apart from goodwill that have previously recognised impairment in the past are reviewed for possible reversal at the end of each reporting period. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets acquired separately are measured at cost on initial recognition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. Intangible assets useful lives are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditures on an individual project are recognised as an intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate: • The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale; • Its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset; • How the asset will generate future economic benefits; • The ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development; • The ability to use the intangible asset generated. Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the asset is carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortised over the period of expected future benefit.

The Group considers the relationship between its market capitalisation and its book value, among other factors, when reviewing for indicators of impairment. At 30 June 2018, the market capitalisation of the Group was significantly greater than the Group’s equity book value, indicating no potential impairment of goodwill and impairment of the assets of the cash generating units. In addition, the Group performed a detailed impairment review of the goodwill and intangible assets and concluded that there was no impairment recognised for the year ended 30 June 2018. The Group allocated goodwill to Pay Later and Pay Now which are the two operating segments expected to benefit from the business combination. A summary of the allocation is presented below: Core technology Work in progress Patents Customer contracts Goodwill allocation Total intangible assets PAY LATER SEGMENT PAY LATER PAY NOW TOTAL SEGMENTS $’000 $’000 $’000 25,709 12,358 38,067 263 - - - 120 263 120 10,470 10,470 21,220 2,355 23,575 47,192 25,303 72,495 The estimated net value in use of the Pay Later operating segment at 30 June 18, which has been determined based on the cash flow projections from financial budgets reviewed and approved by senior management covering one year period. The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 15.9% and cash flows have been extrapolated using the most conservative approach compared to historical growth experienced by the segment, which ranges between 3%-7.5% and a terminal growth rate less than 3% has been used. PAY NOW SEGMENT The recoverable amount of the Pay Now operating segment is also determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by senior management covering one-year period. The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 13.4% and the projected cash flows are assumed to be stable for the Pay Now segment and the terminal growth rate is the expected industry growth rate of less than 3%. The recoverable amount of the intangible assets in both segments exceeds the carry value at 30 June 2018. A change of -/+1 and 2 times of the income and expense adjustment factor does not result in an impairment of intangible assets at 30 June 2018. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS The asset impairment assessment process requires significant management judgement. In determining whether goodwill has been impaired, an estimate of the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is required using a discounted cash flow methodology. This calculation uses cash flow projections based on operating budgets and a one-year strategic business plan, after which a terminal value, based on management’s view of the expected long-term growth profile of the business is applied. The implied pre-tax discount rate which is utilised is calculated with reference to long-term government bond rates, external analyst views and the Group’s pre-tax cost of debt. The determination of cash flows over the life of an asset requires management judgement in assessing the future number of merchant acquisitions, customer usage, potential price changes as well as any changes to the costs of the product and of other operating costs incurred by the Group. 53 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 11.

The Group also regularly reviews the adequacy of the provision for doubtful debts to ensure that it is sufficient to mitigate the credit risk exposure in terms of financial reporting. The provision for doubtful The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The Group uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. 54 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS • FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED) debts raised represents management’s best estimate of losses incurred at reporting date based on historical loss experience and their experienced judgement. FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK The Group’s balance sheet can be affected by movements in the Euro, Swiss Franc, US Dollars, Singapore Dollars, Malaysian Ringgit, New Zealand Dollars, Norwegian Krone and Swedish Krona. The Group has transactional currency exposures arising from sales and purchases by both Pay Later and Pay Now business. INTEREST RATE RISK The Group’s exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing borrowings. At balance date, the Group had the following mix of financial assets and liabilities exposed to Australian variable interest rate risk that are not designated in cash flow hedges: CONSOLIDATED CONSOLIDATED 2018 $’000 2017 $’000 25,457 29,702 Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Other financial asset 23,741 8,893 Term deposits (other current assets) Subtotal financial assets Financial liabilities Secured interest bearing borrowings Subtotal financial liabilities 2,165 100 51,363 38,595 111,593 46,748 111,593 46,748 Net exposure (60,230) (8,153) The Convertible Note and Senior Unsecured Notes issued by the Group during the period are on a fixed interest rate term, consequently they are not exposed to interest rate risks. The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date. At 30 June 2018, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post tax profit and equity would have been affected as follows: SENSITIVITY TO REASONABLY POSSIBLE MOVEMENTS: -0.25% (25 basis points) +1.00% (100 basis points) POST TAX PROFIT EQUITY HIGHER/(LOWER) HIGHER/(LOWER) 2018 2017 2018 2017 $’000 $’000 105 14 105 14 (422) (57) (422) (57) If there is reduction in interest rates, the Group’s post tax profit should be better. The Group has higher interest bearing borrowings compared to the cash balances at the balance sheet date. Significant assumptions used in the interest rate sensitivity analysis include: • ►Management believes that interest rates will remain constant during the 12 month period subsequent to balance date. • The net exposure at balance date being representative of what the group was and is expecting to be exposed to in the next twelve months from balance date.

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS PLANS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Benefits are provided to certain employees of the Group in the form of shared based payments through share options, performance rights and loan shares. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. Settlement of share options upon vesting are recognised as contributed equity. Where the transaction is with a non-employee, the cost is based on the fair value of the asset or service received. That cost is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in other capital reserves or share capital in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled and/or the asset or service is delivered/received. The fair value of the options or loan shares are determined using a Binomial model. This expense takes into account the impact of any non-vesting conditions but ignores the effect of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions. Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account when considering the number of options expected to The Group has employee share option plans (ESOPs) for both Australian (APT ESOP) and US (US ESOP) employees. These plans align the interests of employees with the objectives of the Group and provide incentives to Executive Directors, senior executives and staff. Under the ESOP plans, awards are made to employees who have an impact on the Group’s performance. ESOP awards are delivered in the form of options over shares which vest over a number of years subject and also to meet certain performance measures.. The Australian share options are subject to an average of two to three-year service period. The US share options are subject to an average of 4 year service period. The options under both plans have graded vesting terms. The Group had also issued performance rights to certain senior executives and staff as part of the incentive plan. The performance rights vest between 1 – 2 years, and are subject to service conditions. Certain executives have been provided loan shares with non-interest bearing, limited recourse loans from the Group for the sole purpose of acquiring shares in the Group. Under AASB 2 Share-Based Payment, these shares and loans are treated as “in substance options” even where the equity instrument itself is not a share vest and at the end of each reporting period, the option. Group revisits its estimate. Revisions to the prior period estimate are recognised in the income statement and equity. The fair value of performance rights is determined in accordance with the fair market value of the shares available at the grant date. The fair value of performance rights has been calculated using the five-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the five trading days immediately preceding grant date. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE US ESOP The US share options are options for shares in the Afterpay US Inc. entity (US ESOP). Upon exercise of the options, the US option holders will have an ownership interest of up to 10% of Afterpay US Inc.

OTHER SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS The following standards and interpretations which are considered relevant to the Group have been issued and amended by the AASB but are not yet effective for the period ending 30 June 2018. SUMMARY AASB 9 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AASB 9 (December 2014) replaces AASB 139 Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement. This new version supersedes those previously issued. The incurred loss model IMPACT ON GROUP FINANCIAL REPORT The Group will adopt AASB 9 on 1 July 2018 and will not restate comparative information. During the period, the Group has performed an impact assessment of AASB 9, This assessment which is based on currently available information and may be subject to changes arising from further reasonable and supportable information being made available to the Group in 2019 when the Group will adopt AASB 9. The adoption of AASB 9 impacts the Group’s receivable balance which is measured at amortised cost. Lifetime expected credit loss measurement applies to the Group’s receivables. This is due to the short contractual term of the portfolio with a maximum of 56 days, with the current average weighted duration to recoup end-customer payment being approximately 30 days. Late fee income from consumers is currently recognised as ‘Other Income’ by the Group. The current treatement of recognising late fees when they are expected to be recovered will continue. Based on the Group’s current assessment, a reduction in the opening retained earnings balance of $2.9m (no profit and loss impact) for the adoption of AASB 9 is expected. This is due to the recognition of a higher credit loss allowance on contractual cash flows, including late fees, due to the Group. Applying AASB 9 on a consistent basis by adjusting the opening position as at 1 July 2017 and including the credit losses for the financial year ending 30 June 2018, would result in bad and doubtful debts expense being in AASB 139 has been replaced with a single, higher by $1.6m and net receivables being lower by forward-looking ‘expected loss’ impairment $2.9m at 30 June 2018. model under AASB 9. This results generally in the recognition of impairment earlier than was previously required under AASB 139. AASB 9 requires the Group to recognise expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortised cost or fair value 62 through other comprehensive income, with the APPLICATION DATE FOR GROUP 1-Jul-18 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS • OTHER SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) SUMMARY AASB 15 REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS AASB 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers was issued by the AASB in December 2014 and replaces all revenue recognition requirements, including those as set out in AASB 118 - Revenue. The new standard attempts to remove inconsistencies and weaknesses in existing revenue recognition frameworks, improve comparability across entities, and simplify financial statement preparation by streamlining and reducing the volume of guidance. The standard contains a single model that applies to all revenue arising from contracts. AASB 15 introduces a single principles-based five step model for recognising revenue and introduces the concept of recognising revenue when an obligation to a customer is satisfied. Application of AASB 15 is expected to have varying levels of impact across the Group’s two segments - Afterpay and Pay Now. Afterpay generates revenue from end consumers ordering goods and services from merchants integrated on the Afterpay platform. The Pay Now business generates revenue through transaction processing and professional services with specific performance obligations. AASB 15 requires the Group to apply the standard The adoption of AASB 9 impacts the Afterpay customer receivable balance which is measured at amortised cost. Under AASB 9, merchant revenue is to be recognised over the life of the associated consumer receivable. With the current average weighted duration to recoup end-customer payment being approximately 30 days, the Group will defer revenue over the average time it takes for the collection of the receivable to occur. Based on the Group’s current assessment, deferring the entire merchant fee on an effective interest basis results in a reduction in opening retained earnings of $4.9m for the recognition and adoption of AASB 9, this is in addition to the adjustment for provisioning of $2.9m noted above. A deferral of merchant fee revenue in this manner is a timing difference only and does not affect the receipt in cash when an order is processed. The Group is still finalising its analysis of the potential impacts to the Pay Now segment. Evaluation to date has focused primarily on Pay Now’s transaction processing revenue as this accounts for the majority of the segment’s revenue. To date, no material measurement differences or opening retained earnings differences have been identified between AASB 118, the current revenue recognition standard, and AASB 15. APPLICATION DATE FOR GROUP 1-Jul-18 in accordance with other applicable accounting SUMMARY standards, specifically, AASB 9. Regarding Afterpay, revenue recognised from the merchant is collected through the consumer receivable and is a financial asset, as it is a contract to receive cash flows. On initial assessment, the Group has determined that a portion of merchant revenue must initially be recognised under AASB 9 – Financial Instruments. AASB 9 states that after initial recognition, entities shall classify financial assets at amortised cost using the effective interest method (EIR). The EIR is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset. APPLICATION DATE OF STANDARD 1-Jan-18 IMPACT ON GROUP FINANCIAL REPORT The Group will adopt AASB 15 and AASB 9 on 1 July 2018 and will not restate comparative information. During the period, the Group has AASB 16 LEASES In February 2016, AASB issued AASB 16 ‘Leases’, which replaces the current guidance in AASB 117 ‘Leases’. The new standard significantly changes accounting for lessees requiring recognition of all leases on the balance sheet, including those currently accounted for as operating leases. A lessee will recognise liabilities reflecting future lease payments and ‘right- of-use assets’, initially measured at a present value of unavoidable lease payments. Depreciation of leased assets and interest on lease liabilities will be recognised over the lease term. AASB 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in AASB 117. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases and account for them as operating leases or finance leases. There is an optional exemption for certain short-term leases and leases of low-value assets; however, this exemption can only be applied by lessees. APPLICATION DATE OF STANDARD performed an impact assessment of AASB 15 and 1-Jan-19 AASB 9. This assessment is based on currently available information and may be subject to changes arising from further reasonable and supportable information being made available to the Group in the 2019 financial year when the Group will adopt the new standards. IMPACT ON GROUP FINANCIAL REPORT The Group has assessed the impact of the adoption of AASB 16, which is not expected to result in a material impact to the Group’s financial report.

Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial report. A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation 65 AFTERPAYTOUCH FY18 ANNUAL REPORT • FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  Merger transaction Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter On 19 June 2017 the merger of Touchcorp Limited and Afterpay Holdings Limited was completed. The transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of Touchcorp Limited by Afterpay Holdings Limited. There was judgment involved in determining the transaction purchase price, the fair value of net assets acquired, the acquirer and the acquisition date. Due to the significance of the transaction and the magnitude of the goodwill arising from the acquisition of $23.6 million, this was considered a key audit matter. Accounting for the acquisition of Touchcorp Limited is final and is disclosed in Note 4 of the financial report. Our audit procedures included the following: ► ► ► ► ► Assessed the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, as well as agreeing key terms to underlying evidence including contracts, Scheme booklets and final shareholder votes. Examined the Group’s determination and valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We considered whether there were any other identifiable intangible assets acquired by using our knowledge of the industry and assessing the terms of the acquisition agreements. Assessed the competence, qualifications and objectivity of the experts engaged by the Group to assist with the identification and valuation of assets acquired. Assessed the key assumptions and valuation methodology used by the Group considering external market data, which involved the input of our valuation specialists. Assessed the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures in the financial report in respect of the merger. Doubtful debts provision Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter The nature of the Group’s business is to assume the credit risk of merchant transactions with consumers. Our audit procedures over the doubtful debt provision and related consolidated statement of comprehensive income expense included the following: The model used to calculate the doubtful debt provisions is performed manually using daily payment data and applied to the receivables balance. Due to the significance and magnitude of receivables and the judgment associated with the doubtful debt provision in determining the recoverability of the amounts outstanding at balance date, this was considered a key audit matter. The Group’s disclosure for the doubtful debts provision is disclosed in Note 9 of the financial report. ► ► ► Assessed and analysed all the key assumptions and methodology applied in the model, including payment and ageing history, and compared these assumptions to the prior periods. Tested the integrity of the generation of the debtors ageing reports used in the provisioning process. Assessed the adequacy of the provision against the aged balances, particularly on balances that were past due but not impaired. A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation 66 AFTERPAYTOUCH FY18 ANNUAL REPORT • FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  Capitalisation of internally generated intangible assets Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter The Group’s revenue is generated through the processing of transactions with its customers through its internally developed software platforms, disclosed as Core Technology in Note 10 of the financial report. Costs incurred during the year that were capitalised to the Core Technology and Work in Progress totalled $11.5 million. Capitalised development costs was a key audit matter as product development is core to the Company’s operations. This involves judgement to determine whether the costs meet the capitalisation criteria in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. Our audit procedures included the following: ► ► ► ► ► Selected a sample of capitalised costs to determine the nature of the cost and assess whether the project met the capitalisation criteria set out in Australian Accounting Standards. Agreed a sample of capitalised employee costs to employee contracts and enquired with the Company regarding the related development activities that were undertaken and determined whether the sample of employees were directly involved in developing software. In addition, we assessed the effectiveness of the Group’s key controls related to payroll processing. Assessed the useful life and amortisation rate allocated to capitalised development costs. Assessed the consistency of the capitalisation methodology applied by the Company in comparison to prior reporting periods. Assessed the adequacy of the disclosures included in Note 10. Share based payments Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter The Group has entered into a number of share based payment transactions with employees and consultants. As disclosed in Note 13 of the financial report, a convertible note was issued to Matrix Partners during the period which the Group determined included a share based payment for unidentifiable services to be provided by Matrix Partners. The valuation of the share based payment also included complexity due to an input into the valuation being the valuation of Afterpay US, Inc. which had not commenced trading. In addition, share options were issued to a number of employees of Afterpay US, Inc, a subsidiary of the Group. There is judgement required in determining the value of these awards as the issuing entity, Afterpay US, Inc, is a private company. This was considered a key audit matter as there is judgement in determining that the convertible note contained a share based payment, as well as judgement involved in the valuation of Afterpay US, Inc. for both the share based payment for services and employee options. We assessed the terms of the convertible note with Matrix Partners taking into consideration the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards, to assess whether there was a share based payment element of the convertible note. The valuation of Afterpay US, Inc. was required at the grant date of the convertible note as well as the grant date for the employee options. The valuation was prepared by an external valuer engaged by the Group. To assess the valuation of Afterpay US, Inc. at both grant dates, we assessed, in conjunction with our valuations specialists: ► ► ► ► the cash flow assumptions in the forecast period; the discount rate applied; the treatment of working capital in the valuation, given the significant working capital requirements to fund customer receivables; and terminal growth rate and value assumptions. In conjunction with our Valuations specialists, we assessed the other inputs into the valuation of the share based payments, mainly being the volatility applied. We assessed the vesting terms and period for the recognition of the share based payment expense. We also assessed whether all disclosures required by Australian Accounting Standards had been made and appropriately reflected the agreements and the calculations and estimates made.

The other information comprises the information in the Group’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not include the financial report and the auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based upon the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:  Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.  Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation 68  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on the Remuneration Report Opinion on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 21 to 33 of the Directors' Report for the year ended 30 June 2018. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Afterpay Touch Group Limited for the year ended 30 June 2018, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Responsibilities The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
