ABN 79 123 098 671
Directors' report
30 June 2018
The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 'consolidated entity') 
consisting of archTIS Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'company' or 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 
30 June 2018.

Directors

The following persons were directors of archTIS Limited during the whole of the financial year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:

Stephen Smith (Appointed 1 February 2018)
Daniel Lai
Bruce Talbot
Leanne Graham (Appointed 1 February 2018)
Wayne Zekulich (Appointed 1 February 2018)
Phillip Dean (Resigned 1 February 2018)
James Hyndes (Resigned 1 February 2018)
Darren Patterson (Resigned 31 July 2017)

Principal activities

During the financial year the principal continuing activities of the consolidated entity consisted of:

- Development of secure information management and collaboration software and appliance solutions.
- Consulting and solutions services for secure information sharing and inter-organisational collaboration.

Dividends
There have been no dividends paid or declared since the start of the financial year.

Review of operations

The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax and non-controlling interest amounted to $2,091,466 (30 June 2017: $1,132,202).
The consolidated entity focused on product research and development with a consequent reduction in consulting and services revenues. 
In April 2018 the company changed its status to a public company limited by shares, adopted a new constitution and changed its name to archTIS 
Limited. In order to meet the funding requirements of the future research and development, the directors raised $5,533,686 during the year and 
commenced the process to undertake an initial public offer (IPO) in August 2018 to raise additional capital of $8,000,000. The IPO was successfully 
completed in September 2018 and the company was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange on 21 September 2018.
During the year the company capitalised costs related to its product development that are expected to be recouped in the future. A successful conclusion 
from research and development is inherently risky. The company is focused on bringing its product to the market in a timely and cost effective manner.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

In April 2018 the company changed its status to a public company limited by shares, adopted a new constitution and changed its name to archTIS 
Limited. In May 2018 the parent entity acquired 100% of the ordinary shares of archTIS Solutions Pty Ltd for the total consideration of $10 and 100% of 
the ordinary shares of archTIS Services Pty Ltd for the total consideration of $10. Neither company commenced operations prior to 30 June 2018.

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

In July 2018 the company commenced the process to undertake an initial public offer in August 2018 to raise additional capital of $8,000,000. The capital 
raise was fully subscribed and the investment funds have been received. The company was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange on 
21 September 2018. In July 2018 share options at 1.9% of capital were issued and in September 2018 the lead managers of the initial public offer were 
issued share options at 6% of capital. In August 2018 archTIS Solutions Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of the parent entity established an office in the Czech 
Republic. archTIS Solutions Pty Ltd will engage and manage a software development team based in the Czech Republic. The company's Product 
Manager and Product Requirements, Learning, Marketing and Capability Development Manager have relocated to the Czech Republic to manage and 
lead the development team. There has not been any other matter or circumstance occurring subsequent to the end of the financial year that has 
significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the company in 
future financial years.

Likely developments and expected results of operations

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 would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the consolidated entity.

Environmental regulation

The consolidated entity is not subject to any significant environmental regulation under Australian Commonwealth or State law.

Remuneration report (audited)

The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the consolidated entity, in accordance with the 
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.
Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly 
or indirectly, including all directors.
The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:

●

●

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

The objective of the consolidated entity's executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results 
delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and it is 
considered to conform to the market best practice for the delivery of reward. The Board of Directors ('the Board') ensures that executive reward satisfies 
the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

●

●

●

●

competitiveness and reasonableness
acceptability to shareholders
performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation
transparency

The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its directors and executives. The performance of the consolidated 
entity depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high 
quality personnel.
The Board has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the consolidated 
entity.
The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders' interests. The Board have considered that it should seek to enhance 
shareholders' interests by:

●

●

●

having economic profit as a core component of plan design
focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and delivering constant or increasing 
attracting and retaining high calibre executives

Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance executives' interests by:

●

●

●

rewarding capability and experience
reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth
providing a clear structure for earning rewards

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive director remuneration is separate.
Non-executive directors remuneration

Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-executive directors' fees and payments are 
reviewed annually by the Board. The Board may, from time to time, receive advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure non-executive 
directors' fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market. The chairman's fees are determined independently to the fees of other non-
executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The chairman is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of his 
own remuneration. Non-executive directors receive share options but no other incentives.
Executive remuneration

The consolidated entity aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of remuneration which has both fixed 
and variable components.

Page 6 of 44

ABN 79 123 098 671
Directors' report
30 June 2018
The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components:

●

●

●

●

base pay and non-monetary benefits
short-term performance incentives
share-based payments
other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave

The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration.
Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the Board based on individual and 
business unit performance, the overall performance of the consolidated entity and comparable market remunerations.
Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle benefits) where it does not create 
any additional costs to the consolidated entity and provides additional value to the executive.
The short-term incentives ('STI') program is designed to align the targets of the business units with the performance hurdles of executives. STI payments 
are granted to executives based on specific annual targets and key performance indicators ('KPI's') being achieved. KPI's include profit contribution, 
customer satisfaction, leadership contribution and product management.
The long-term incentives ('LTI') include long service leave and share-based payments. Shares are awarded to executives over a period of three years 
based on long-term incentive measures. These include increase in shareholders value relative to the entire market and the increase compared to the 
consolidated entity's direct competitors. The Board reviewed the long-term equity-linked performance incentives specifically for executives during the 
year ended 30 June 2018.
Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration
Remuneration for certain individuals is directly linked to the performance of the consolidated entity. A portion of cash bonus and incentive payments are 
dependent on defined earnings per share targets being met. The remaining portion of the cash bonus and incentive payments are at the discretion of the 
Board. Refer to the section 'Additional information' below for details of the earnings and total shareholders return for the last five years.
The Board is of the opinion that the continued improved results can be attributed in part to the adoption of performance based compensation and is 
satisfied that this improvement will continue to increase shareholder wealth if maintained over the coming years.

may be held personally liable, except where there is a lack of good faith.
During the financial year, the company paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the directors and executives of the company against a liability to 
the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the 
premium.

The company has not, during or since the end of the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the auditor of the company or any related entity 
against a liability incurred by the auditor.
During the financial year, the company has not paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the auditor of the company or any related entity.

Proceedings on Behalf of Company

No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of the company, or to 
intervene in any proceedings to which the company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the company for all or part of those 
proceedings.

Non-audit services

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor are outlined in note 27 to the 
financial statements.
The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor's 
behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

in a management or decision-making capacity for the company, acting as advocate for the company or jointly sharing economic risks and 
rewards.

Significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have 
been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the 
Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial 
performance or position of the consolidated entity.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity:
AASB 2016-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses
The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 2016-1 from 1 July 2017. The amendments to AASB 112 'Income Taxes' clarify the 
requirements on recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealised losses on debt instruments measured at fair value.
AASB 2016-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 107
The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 2016-2 from 1 July 2017. The amendments to AASB 107 'Statement of Cash Flows' 
require the disclosure of changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows 
and non-cash changes.

Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate 
for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as 
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').

Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation 
of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, investment properties, 
certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires 
management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas 
involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial 
statements, are disclosed in note 2.

a.

Parent company information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity 
only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 23.

b.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of archTIS Limited 
('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2018 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. archTIS 
Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity 
when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has 
the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated 
from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that 
control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are 
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset 
transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the 
policies adopted by the consolidated entity.

ABN 79 123 098 671
Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 30 June 2018

1.

Significant accounting policies (continued)

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership 
interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the 
consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in 
equity attributable to the parent.
Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss 
and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the consolidated 
entity. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in 
a deficit balance.
Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and 
non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The 
consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained 
together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.

c.

Foreign currency translation

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is archTIS Limited's functional and presentation 
currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the 
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the 
translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are 
recognised in profit or loss.

d.

Revenue recognition

The company earns revenues from consulting services and the sale of solutions services for secure information sharing 
and inter-organisational collaboration.
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the consolidated entity and the revenue 
can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Sale of goods
Sale of goods revenue is recognised at the point of sale, which is where the customer has taken delivery of the goods, 
the risks and rewards are transferred to the customer and there is a valid sales contract. Amounts disclosed as revenue 
are net of sales returns and trade discounts
Rendering of services
Rendering of services revenue is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contracts.
Stage of completion is measured by reference to the services performed to date as a percentage of total anticipated 
services to be performed for each contract. Where the contract outcome cannot be reliably estimated, revenue is only 
recognised to the extent of the recoverable expenditure incurred to date.
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as 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.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

e.

Income tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the 
applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable 
to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when 
the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, 
except for:



When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in 
a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the 
accounting nor taxable profits; or

Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 30 June 2018

1.

Significant accounting policies (continued)



When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and 
the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the 
foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that 
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred 
tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for 
the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is 
probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets 
against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable 
authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

archTIS Limited (the 'head entity') and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated 
group under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to 
account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has applied the 'separate taxpayer 
within group' approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated 
group.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or 
assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary 
in the tax consolidated group.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts 
receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the 
intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither 
a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity.

f.

Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the 
consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised 
within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being 
exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as 
non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating 
cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or 
there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All 
other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

g.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly 
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash 
and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the statement of cash flows presentation purposes, 
cash and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts, which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the 
statement of financial position.

h.

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method, less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

Page 21 of 44

archTIS Limited
ABN 79 123 098 671
Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 30 June 2018

1.

Significant accounting policies (continued)

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written 
off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is raised when there is 
objective evidence that the consolidated entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of 
the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial 
reorganisation and default or delinquency in payments (more than 60 days overdue) are considered indicators that the 
trade receivable may be impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset's carrying 
amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows 
relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment.

i.

Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale

Non-current assets and assets of disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered 
principally through a sale transaction rather than through continued use. They are measured at the lower of their carrying 
amount and fair value less costs of disposal. For non-current assets or assets of disposal groups to be classified as held 
for sale, they must be available for immediate sale in their present condition and their sale must be highly probable.

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write down of the non-current assets and assets of 
disposal groups to fair value less costs of disposal. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less 
costs of disposal of a non-current assets and assets of disposal groups, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment 
loss previously recognised.
Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other 
expenses attributable to the liabilities of assets held for sale continue to be recognised.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of disposal groups classified as held for sale are presented 
separately on the face of the statement of financial position, in current assets. The liabilities of disposal groups classified 
as held for sale are presented separately on the face of the statement of financial position, in current liabilities.

j.

Investments and other financial assets

Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the 
initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at 
either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on the purpose of 
the acquisition and subsequent reclassification to other categories is restricted.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have 
been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Impairment of financial assets
The consolidated entity assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a 
financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. Objective evidence includes significant financial difficulty of the 
issuer or obligor; a breach of contract such as default or delinquency in payments; the lender granting to a borrower 
concessions due to economic or legal reasons that the lender would not otherwise do; it becomes probable that the 
borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; the disappearance of an active market for the financial 
asset; or observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in estimated future cash flows.
The amount of the impairment allowance for financial assets carried at cost is the difference between the asset's carrying 
amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of return for similar 
financial assets.

k.

Property, plant and equipment

Each class of plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical 
cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment 
(excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:
Leasehold improvements
Office furniture and equipment
Computer equipment
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting 
date.

Notes to the financial statements

1.

Significant accounting policies (continued)

Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or 
the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to 
the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or 
loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits.

l.

Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and 
requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or 
assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the 
risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of leased assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor effectively 
retains substantially all such risks and benefits.
Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the fair value of the leased assets, or if lower, 
the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are allocated between the principal component of the 
lease liability and the finance costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the asset's useful life or over the shorter of the 
asset's useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the consolidated entity will obtain ownership 
at the end of the lease term.
Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line 
basis over the term of the lease.
Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of 
the lease term

m.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value 
at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible 
assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are 
subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss 
arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and 
the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed 
annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the 
amortisation method or period.
Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for 
impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at 
cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not 
subsequently reversed.
Research and development
Research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are capitalised when it is 
probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility; the consolidated entity is 
able to use or sell the asset; the consolidated entity has sufficient resources; and intent to complete the development and 
its costs can be measured reliably. Capitalised development costs are amortised on a systematic basis matched to the 
future economic benefits over the useful life of the project.
Research and development tax incentive
The Research and Development Tax Incentive (RDTI) is a 43.5% refundable tax offset that is calculated as 43.5% of the 
eligible research and development expenditure that has been incurred by the company. The Directors consider any 
payment arising from the RDTI to be a form of government assistance and are of the view that it is appropriate to 
recognise RDTI receipts as Government Grants in accordance with AASB120 Accounting for Government Grants and 
Disclosure of Government Assistance.

1.

Significant accounting policies (continued)

As such, RTDI refunds are recognised when there is a sufficient degree of certainty that the company will comply with the 
conditions attaching to RDTI and that the payment will be received. Such refunds are recognised in the Statement of 
profit and loss and other comprehensive income on a systematic basis over the periods in which the company recognises 
as expenses the related costs for which the assistance is intended to compensate. The proportion of the refund that 
relates to capitalised development is deducted against the carrying amount of the related non-current assets. Any 
remaining proportion that cannot be recognised on either of the preceding bases is recognised in the Statement of profit 
and loss and other comprehensive income as "Income from research and development claim".(cid:9)(cid:9)(cid:9)(cid:9)(cid:9)
Patents and trademarks
Significant costs associated with patents and trademarks are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the 
period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 10 years.

n.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested 
annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. 
Other non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the 
carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying 
amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the 
present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or 
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to 
form a cash-generating unit.

o.

Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the 
financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not 
discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. 
They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

q.

Finance costs

Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in 
the period in which they are incurred.

r.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a 
past event, it is probable the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be 
made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration 
required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding 
the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the 
liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

s.

Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be 
settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the 
liabilities are settled.
Other long-term employee benefits
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are 
measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up 
to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary 
levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using 
market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as 
possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Significant accounting policies (continued)

The company's obligations for long-term employee benefits are presented as non-current provisions in its statement of 
financial position, except where the company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 
months after the end of the reporting period, in which case the obligations are presented as current provisions.
Defined contribution superannuation expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Share-based payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for 
the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount 
of cash is determined by reference to the share price.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined 
using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the 
option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the 
expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that 
do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No 
account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the 
vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the 
best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount 
recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already 
recognised in previous periods.
The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the 
Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award 
was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:





during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by 
the expired portion of the vesting period.
from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the 
reporting date.

All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid 
to settle the liability.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market 
conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other 
conditions are satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. 
An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair 
value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition 
is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not 
satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, 
unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining 
expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and 
new award is treated as if they were a modification.

t.

Fair value measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the 
fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly 
transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place 
either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

Significant accounting policies (continued)

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, 
assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its 
highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are 
available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of 
unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the 
significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and 
transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair 
value measurement.
For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either 
not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market 
knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to 
another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a 
comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

u.

Issued capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, 
from the proceeds.

v.

Dividends

Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the company.

w. Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not 
recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part 
of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST 
recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of 
financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing 
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax 
authority.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet 
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2018. 
The consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, 
most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard replaces all 
previous versions of AASB 9 and completes the project to replace IAS 39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and 
Measurement'. AASB 9 introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset 
shall be measured at amortised cost, if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to 
collect contractual cash flows, which arise on specified dates and solely principal and interest. All other financial 
instrument assets are to be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an 
irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) 
in other comprehensive income ('OCI'). For financial liabilities, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair 
value that relates to the entity's own credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch).

Significant accounting policies (continued)

New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk 
management activities of the entity. New impairment requirements will use an 'expected credit loss' ('ECL') model to 
recognise an allowance. Impairment will be measured under a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial 
instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. The 
standard introduces additional new disclosures. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 and the 
impact of its adoption is expected to be minimal on the consolidated entity.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard provides a 
single standard for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to 
depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the 
entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. 

The standard will require: contracts (either written, verbal or implied) to be identified, together with the separate 
performance obligations within the contract; determine the transaction price, adjusted for the time value of money 
excluding credit risk; allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on a basis of relative 
stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service, or estimation approach if no distinct observable prices exist; 
and recognition of revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Credit risk will be presented separately as an 
expense rather than adjusted to revenue. 
For goods, the performance obligation would be satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods. For services, 
the performance obligation is satisfied when the service has been provided, typically for promises to transfer services to 
customers. For performance obligations satisfied over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of progress to 
determine how much revenue should be recognised as the performance obligation is satisfied.
Contracts with customers will be presented in an entity's statement of financial position as a contract liability, a contract 
asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity's performance and the customer's payment. 
Sufficient quantitative and qualitative disclosure is required to enable users to understand the contracts with customers; 
the significant judgments made in applying the guidance to those contracts; and any assets recognised from the costs to 
obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer. 
The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018, resulting in an increase in contract assets of $51,000 
and an increase in contract liabilities of $51,000.

AASB 16 Leases
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces 
AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to 
exceptions, a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured at the present value of 
the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 
months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an 
accounting policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to 
profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease 
prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or 
dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the 
leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance 
costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when 
compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. 

 However EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as the 
operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification 
within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and 
interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially 
change how a lessor accounts for leases. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019.  On the 
application date the company will record a right-to-use asset equivalent to the present value of remaining lease payments 
(approximately $322,000) and a corresponding lease liability for the lease of the premises at 10 National Circuit, Barton, 
ACT. The right-to-use asset will be depreciated over the remaining term of the lease and interest will be expensed. The 
lease liability will be reduced by the principle portion of the lease payments. Currently, no right-to-use asset or lease 
liability is recorded in the statement of financial position, lease payments are expensed, and the lease commitment is 
recorded in the notes to these financial statements.

Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect 
the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to 
assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions 
on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be 
reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual 
results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the 
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.

Share-based payment transactions
The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the 
equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-
Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting 
estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of 
assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

Estimation of useful lives of assets
The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its 
property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical 
innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than 
previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off 
or written down.
Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
The consolidated entity tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether 
goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy 
stated in note 1. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. 
These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital and 
growth rates of the estimated future cash flows.
Income tax
The consolidated entity is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in 
determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course 
of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The consolidated entity recognises liabilities for anticipated tax 
audit issues based on the consolidated entity's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these 
matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period 
in which such determination is made.
Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the consolidated entity considers it is probable 
that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Employee benefits provision
As discussed in note 1, the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date 
are recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at 
the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through 
promotion and inflation have been taken into account.

The company has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counterparty or group of counterparties. The 
main source of credit risk to the company is considered to relate to the class of assets described as "trade and other receivables".
The following table details the company's trade and other receivables exposed to credit risk (prior to collateral and other credit 
enhancements) with ageing analysis and impairment provided for thereon. Amounts are considered as "past due" when the debt 
has not been settled within the terms and conditions agreed between the company and the customer or counterparty to the 
transaction. Receivables that are past due are assessed for impairment by ascertaining solvency of the debtors and are provided for 
where there are specific circumstances indicating that the debt may not be fully repaid to the company.

Capitalised development costs relate to the development of new techniques to provide enhanced secure content management 
capability. As at 30 June 2018 the completion percentage is approximately 55%. As development costs are still a work in progress 
no amortisation has been recorded.
The recoverable amount of the entity's capitalised development costs has been determined by a value-in-use calculation using a 
discounted cash flow model, based on a 5 year projection period approved by management.
Key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating units is most sensitive. The following 
key assumptions were used in the discounted cash flow model for the new products: 
a.
b.

50% pre-tax discount rate; 
projected revenue growth rate based on expected customer acceptance of subscription based model, expected hardware and 
enterprise revenues; 
3-5% per annum increase in operating costs and overheads. 

c.
The discount rate of 50% pre-tax reflects management’s estimate of the time value of money and the entity’s weighted average cost 
of capital adjusted for the product, the risk free rate and the volatility of the share price relative to market movements. 
Management believes the projected revenue growth rate is prudent and justified, based on its market analyses and evaluation. 
There were no other key assumptions for the product. 
Based on the above, no impairment charge has been applied as the discounted recoverable amount for the product exceeds the 
capitalised development.

Other intangible assets (continued)

Sensitivity 
As disclosed in note 1, the directors have made judgements and estimates in respect of impairment testing of capitalised 
development cost. Should these judgements and estimates not occur the resulting capitalised development cost carrying amount 
may decrease. The sensitivities are as follows: 
a.

Revenue would need to decrease by more than 8.2% for the product before capitalised development cost would need to be 
impaired, with all other assumptions remaining constant;
The discount rate would be required to increase to 57.3% for the product before capitalised development cost would need to 
be impaired, with all other assumptions remaining constant. 

b.

Management believes that other reasonable changes in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount of product's 
capitalised development cost is based would not cause the cash-generating unit’s carrying amount to exceed its recoverable

Provision for employee benefits represents amounts accrued for annual leave and long service leave.
The current portion for this provision includes the total amount accrued for annual leave entitlements and the amounts accrued 
for long service leave entitlements that have vested due to employees having completed the required period of service. Based 
on past experience, the company does not expect the full amount of annual leave or long service leave balances classified as 
current liabilities to be settled within the next 12 months. However, these amounts must be classified as current liabilities since 
the company does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of these amounts in the event employees wish to 
use their leave entitlement.
The non-current portion for this provision includes amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have not yet 
vested in relation to those employees who have not yet completed the required period of service.

Make good provision

A provision of $72,780 has been recognised by the consolidated entity for estimated make good costs in respect of the head 
office premises. The lease has a life of 6 years and the company has an obligation to make good the premises at the end of 
the lease term.

14. Equity - Issued capital (continued)

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total 
borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the consolidated entity may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, 
return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The company issues equity-settled share based payments to certain entities. Under AASB 2 these are measured at fair value at the 
date of the grant. This amount is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period based on the company’s estimate of the 
number of shares that will eventually vest. 
The weighted average fair value of the share options granted during the financial year to 30 June 2018 is $0.085 (2017: $0.26 after 
share split, $0.76 before split). Options were valued using a binomial option pricing model (2017: fundamental option pricing model). 
Where relevant, the expected life used in the model has been adjusted based on management's best estimate for the effects of non-
transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations. 

Inputs into the valuation model:

Notes to the financial statements

17. Financial instruments

The consolidated entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, price risk and 
interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated entity's overall risk management program focuses on the 
unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the consolidated 
entity. The consolidated entity uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods 
include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, ageing analysis for credit risk and 
beta analysis in respect of investment portfolios to determine market risk.
Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors ('the 
Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the consolidated entity and appropriate procedures, 
controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the consolidated entity's operating units. 
Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis.
Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
The consolidated entity is not exposed to any significant foreign exchange risk.
Price risk
The consolidated entity is not exposed to any significant price risk.
Interest rate risk
The consolidated entity's main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings obtained at variable rates expose the 
consolidated entity to interest rate risk. The policy is to maintain 100% of current borrowings at variable rates.
The consolidated entity's bank loan outstanding, totalling $300,000 (2017: $300,000), is an interest only loan. Monthly cash outlays 
of approximately $1,300 (2017: $1,300) per month are required to service the interest payments. An official increase/decrease in 
interest rates of 100 (2017: 100) basis points would have an adverse/favourable effect on profit before tax of $3,000 (2017: $3,000) 
per annum. The percentage change is based on the expected volatility of interest rates using market data and analysts forecasts. In 
addition, minimum principal repayments of $0 (2017: $0) are due during the year ending 30 June 2019 (2017: 30 June 2018).

Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the consolidated 
entity. The consolidated entity has a strict code of credit, including obtaining agency credit information, confirming references and 
setting appropriate credit limits. The consolidated entity obtains guarantees where appropriate to mitigate credit risk. The maximum 
exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for 
impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The 
consolidated entity does not hold any collateral.
Guarantees
A financial institution has provided bank guarantees secured over the term deposit account.

18. Events after the reporting period

In July 2018 the company commenced the process to undertake an initial public offer in August 2018 to raise additional capital of 
$8,000,000. The capital raise was fully subscribed and the investment funds have been received. The company was listed on the 
Australian Stock Exchange on 21 September 2018. In July 2018 share options at 1.9% of capital were issued and in September 
2018 the lead managers of the initial public offer were issued share options at 6% of capital. In August 2018 archTIS Solutions Pty 
Ltd, a subsidiary of the parent entity established an office in the Czech Republic. archTIS Solutions Pty Ltd will engage and manage 
a software development team based in the Czech Republic. The company's Product Manager and Product Requirements, Learning, 
Marketing and Capability Development Manager have relocated to the Czech Republic to manage and lead the development team. 
There has not been any other matter or circumstance occurring subsequent to the end of the financial year that has significantly 
affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the 
company in future financial years.

28. Correction of prior period errors

During the year, a total of $2,271,553 was reclassified from income tax benefits for the 2012 to 2017 financial years: $923,809 to 
income from research and development claim and $1,347,744 as an offset to capitalised development costs. The research and 
development claim was incorrectly included in tax benefit instead of being split between income from research and development and 
capitalised development expenditure.
The abovementioned misstatements in the previous years' financial statements represents a prior period accounting error which 
must be accounted for retrospectively. Consequently, the consolidated entity has adjusted all comparative amounts presented in the 
current periods financial statements affected by the accounting errors as follows:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

TO THE MEMBERS OF 

archTIS LIMITED 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of archTIS Limited. (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which 
comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018, the consolidated statement of profit 
or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated 
statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of 
significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.  

In  our  opinion  the  accompanying  financial  report  of  the  Group  is  in  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act 
2001, including:  

(i)  giving  a true  and fair  view  of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2018  and of its financial 

performance for the year then ended; and  

(ii)  complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.  

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 
APES 110 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 confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to 
the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's 
report. 

We  believe  that  the  audit  evidence  we  have  obtained  is  sufficient  and  appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our 
opinion. 

Other Information  
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included 
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 accordingly we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

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  on  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 ability of the Group 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 to cease operations, or have no realistic 
alternative but to do so.  

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 
Our  objectives  are  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  report  as  a  whole  is  free  from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. 
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance 
with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements 
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably 
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.  

A  further  description  of  our  responsibilities  for  the  audit  of  the  financial  report  is  located  at  the  Auditing  and 
Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar2.pdf. 
This description forms part of our auditor's report.

section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
