REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN AND THE GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR AND CEO
Dear Shareholder
It would not be correct to say that we are delighted to present your Company’s results for FY21. We are not.
After three successive record EBITDA results (FY18, FY19 and FY20), even with EBITDA of $9.6 million, it
is very disappointing to report a (before tax) loss of $164,000. Not a big number, but still a loss.
It is frustrating to have been hit by a pandemic that came way out of left field and that there was not very much
that we could do about it. Our fate was left in the hands of politicians and bureaucrats whose jobs were safe and
who had less to worry about trying to make ends meet.
As you know, most of our business is with international students: students from overseas studying in Australia
as well as students being taught overseas under our brand. Because of COVID-19, Australia closed its borders
– preventing new enrolments from overseas, our staff travelling to overseas projects and international marketing.
Borders have now been shut for 18 months. Yes, the fall of about 30% of our revenue from services in just one
year (FY20 to FY21) may be attributed to COVID-19. But is that just too simplistic? What significant sector-
specific support did the Federal government give the international education sector that had contributed nearly
$40 billion in exports prior to the pandemic? How efficient have they been in arranging adequate vaccines early,
to ensure that borders may be opened earlier? International students do not vote but apart from contributing to
substantial income to the country, the sector accounts for more than 200,000 jobs. Many employees and their
family members are hurting.
Since the release of our preliminary final results on 26 August, there’s been a growing momentum about the
opening of borders - opening earlier than we anticipated in August. It is imperative that how the country opens
up is carefully thought through and not merely a pre-election popularity exercise. Border-opening must be
planned and implemented better than the vaccine rollout.
While there has been excitement about borders opening when we reach 80% double vaccinations, and it is likely
that New South Wales will reach 80% by November, it is not clear when the country will get to 80%. When that
is achieved, it will be good news for us. To improve our domestic training business it is important that the
restrictions on people movement be lifted – including free travel between states.
We press on. We must. We have a company to protect.
FY22 is not expected to be sans COVID-19. Our view is that we will just have to live with it and protect our
businesses, staff and students and all their families by adopting mandatory vaccinations unless there is a medical
reason for not vaccinating.
We have started FY22 debt-free, with $12.4 million in cash and today continue to have every one of our key
senior people on board. At this point may we pause to acknowledge all our colleagues who put in a sterling
performance in a very trying year - those who had to work from home because of restrictions on people
movement and those who continued to come to the office for their normal duties as well as to carry out the
responsibilities of colleagues who remained at home.
In FY22 we will continue to streamline our operations by sharing premises amongst group colleges to save rent,
as we did in FY21. Cost savings measures will also continue.
AAPoly is working on a new Bachelor degree which we will be applying for permission to launch in the second
half of FY22. In this connection, we are pleased to announce the appointment of Joanna Kelly as the Chief
Executive Officer of AAPoly. Joanna has successfully managed other colleges in the group and will bring strong
management to AAPoly. She also sits on the Board of English Australia.

AAC’s 4-year EduTrust certification has been successfully renewed for another four years until August 2025.
AAC has partnered with University of Derby to offer two ‘top-up’ honours degrees whereby students with the
AAC Advanced Diploma in Tourism and Hospitality Management may enrol to study, at AAC, the University’s
BA(Hons) International Hospitality Management and the University’s BA(Hons) International Tourism
Management. Each ‘top-up’ course spans 12 months.
A third of our 30 Destination Australia scholarships have been awarded and study commenced. The
commencement or award of the others were held up because of COVID-19. We are seeking Federal Government
approval to extend the participation deadlines for the remaining scholarships.
On behalf of the Board, we would like to convey appreciation to all shareholders, students, clients, partners,
associates and other stakeholders for their loyalty, contribution and support during a very difficult year. Thank
you.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Your Directors present their report on Academies Australasia Group Limited (the Company) and its controlled
entities (jointly the Group) for FY21.
DIRECTORS
The names of Directors in office at any time during, or since the end of, the financial year are:
Dr John Lewis Schlederer
Christopher Elmore Campbell
Chiang Meng Heng
Gabriela Del Carmen Rodriguez Naranjo
Sartaj Hans
All Directors have been in office from the start of the financial year to the date of this report.
Details on the Directors and Company Secretaries are set out on pages 7 and 8.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
The principal activity of the Group during the financial year was the provision of training and education services.
CONSOLIDATED RESULT
The consolidated loss before tax for the Group for FY21 was $164,000 (FY20 restated: $5,132,000 profit). The
consolidated loss for the Group, after providing for income tax, amounted to $1,060,000 (FY21 restated:
$3,901,000 profit). Eighty percent of this was the impact of the required adjustment of $844,000 to the deferred
tax assets. This is because of the reduction in the rate of income tax as a result of revenue falling below $50
million.
Previous corresponding period numbers have been restated for a make good liability. (See page 17).
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Revenue from services decreased by 28.6 % to $42,624,000 (FY20: $59,694,000).
The following table presents EBITDA after adjustment for significant items.

Dividends
A fully franked dividend of 1.365 cents per share ($1,742,000) was paid on 25 September 2020.
A fully franked dividend of 0.5 cents per share ($638,000) was paid on 26 March 2021.
There is no further dividend for the year.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS
There were no significant changes in the Company’s state of affairs during the financial year.
COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The pandemic continues to be disruptive to our business as well as our staff and associates, in Australia and
overseas. It is the cause of the 29% fall (17.07 million) in service revenue compared to FY20 or 35% fall
($23.43 million) in service revenue compared to FY19.
Most of our business is to do with international students: students from overseas studying with us in Australia
as well as students being taught overseas under our brand. It is now 18 months since Australia’s borders were
shut on 20 March last year. Closed borders prevent new enrolments from overseas and our staff travelling to
overseas projects and international marketing. While we have been able to attract some international students
already in Australia the numbers are not large, and shrinking.
Domestic training programs have also been badly affected by COVID-19. Generally, the overall slowdown in
business, the fear of infection, the restrictions on people movement and, worst of all the severe lockdowns and
even curfews, have reduced our income from domestic business.
Most of the ‘Redundancies, terminations and other once-off costs’ in 3.1 are because of COVID-19. Presently
more than three quarters of our staff in Australia are in lockdown.
We continue with delivering courses on-line, and adopting COVID-safe plans to protect staff, students and
visitors.
We see the possibility that 80% of Australians above the age of 16 will be vaccinated by November, following
which the borders will be open for the entry of fully vaccinated international students.
EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE
Other than the COVID-19 pandemic, there were no matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of
the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results
of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS, PROSPECTS AND BUSINESS STRATEGIES
Please refer to the Report of the Chairman and the Group Managing Director and CEO (Pages 2 and 3).

liability insurance policy covering the directors’ and officers’ liabilities as officers of the Company.

In FY21, following the contraction of business because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company
consolidated certain operations to reduce costs, including rent. Make good obligations were crystalized – the
exercise strengthening the forecast of make good estimates for those remaining rented properties where make
good applies.
The Group has restated the prior year comparatives and the opening balances of the previous period, 30 June
2020 and 1 July 2019.

Bases of preparation
The financial report has been prepared on the accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified by the
revaluation of certain non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities, for which the fair value basis
of accounting has been applied. The financial report is presented in Australian Dollars and rounded to the
nearest thousand dollars in accordance with Instrument 2016/191.
Accounting Policies
a.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent
(Academies Australasia Group Limited) and all its subsidiaries (including any structured entities). Subsidiaries
are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it 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 over
the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 12.
The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the
Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is
discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or
losses on transactions between Group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of
subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting
policies adopted by the Group.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2021
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as “non-
controlling interests”. The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership
interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets on liquidation at
either fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets.
Subsequent to initial recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each
component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity
section of the statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income.
Business combinations
b.
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses.
A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisiton method, unless it is a combination
involving entities or businesses under common control. The business combination is accounted for from the
date that control is attained, whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including
contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to certain limited exemptions).
When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from
a contingent consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent
consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within
equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair
value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the change in value can be identified as
existing at acquisition date.
All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the statement of
comprehensive income.
The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.
Cash and cash equivalents
c.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid
investments with original maturities of one month or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown
within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.
Trade and other receivables
d.
Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course
of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are
classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.
Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Refer to Note 10 for further information
on the determination of impairment losses.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Financial instruments
e.
Recognition and Initial Measurement
All financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Group becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability
is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable
to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured
at the transaction price.
Financial Assets – Classification and subsequent measurement
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortised cost; FVOCI – debt investment;
FVOCI – equity investment; or FVTPL.
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business
model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day
of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated
as at FVTPL:
– it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
– its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
interest on the principal amount outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to
present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in OCI. This election is made on an investment-by-
investment basis. All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at
FVTPL.
Financial assets that are held for trading or are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value
basis are measured at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities – Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as
at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest
expense, are recognised in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in
profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Derecognition
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset
expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all
of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither
transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the
financial asset.
The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or
expire. The Group also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the
modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms
is recognised at fair value.
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying
amount and the amount of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit and loss.
On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the
consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognised in profit or
loss.
Fair value
Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between independent,
knowledgeable and willing parties at measurement date. There are no financial assets or liabilities carried at
fair value.
Financial guarantees
Where material, financial guarantees are issued, which require the issuer to make specified payments to
reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due, are
recognised as a financial liability at fair value on initial recognition. The guarantee is subsequently measured
at the higher of the best estimate of the obligation and the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate,
cumulative amortisation in accordance with AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Where the
entity gives guarantees in exchange for a fee, revenue is recognised under AASB 15.
The fair value of financial guarantee contracts has been assessed using a probability weighted discounted cash
flow approach. The probability has been based on:
-
-
-
the likelihood of the guaranteed party defaulting in a year period;
the proportion of the exposure that is not expected to be recovered due to the guaranteed party
defaulting; and
the maximum loss exposed if the guaranteed party were to default.
Interest borrowing costs
Interest payable costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Right of use assets and lease liabilities
f.
The Group’s lease portfolio includes property and equipment.
The Group has adopted AASB 16 Leases using the full retrospective restatement approach from 1 July 2019,
recognising right of use assets (ROUA) and an equivalent lease liability at the commencement of the lease.
The ROUA is initially measured at cost less any lease incentives and the lease liability is measured as the
present value of the remaining future lease payments discounted at the Group’s incremental borrowing rate at
the date of initial application.
A depreciation charge against the leased ROUA replaces the straight line expense payment and an interest
expense is recognised against the lease liability. Lease payments are no longer recognised as operating cash
flows, but as financing cash flows in the Statement of Cash Flows.
AASB 16 eliminates the distinction between operating and finance leases and brings all leases except short
term and low value onto the Statement of Financial Position.
The Group recognises a ROUA, representing its right to use the underlying assets and a corresponding lease
liability representing its obligation to make future lease payments. The Group recognises a ROUA and lease
liability at the commencement date of the lease.
ROUA are initially measured at cost (present value of the lease liability) and subsequently at cost less any
accumulated depreciation, impairment losses and adjustments for re-measurement of the lease liability. The
ROUA are depreciated using the straight line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease
term.
Short term leases (with a term of less than 12 months) and leases of low value assets are not recognised as
ROUA and corresponding lease liability. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to the profit and loss
account as incurred.
The lease liabilities are initially measured as the present value of future lease payments expected to be paid
over the lease term, discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is re-measured
if the future estimated lease payments change as a result of rate changes or the likelihood of exercise of
extension. The lease liabilities are subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and
decreased by the lease payments.
Make good liability
A liability is recognised for the present value of expected costs for future restoration of the leased premises.
The liability considers the costs associated with the removal of fittings, fit-out, furniture, signage, and other
structures, as well as the cost of restoration of the premises to its original condition by reconditioning or
repainting the walls, replacing, or cleaning the surfaces including carpets, tiles, vinyl, wallpaper and so on. The
calculation of the make good liability involves assumptions such as lease end dates and cost of make good.
The liability recognised for each lease is reviewed at the end of report date and the liability amount is updated
based on the information available at the time. Changes to the estimated future make good obligation for leases
are recognised in the financial statements by adjusting the lease liabilities account. The make good liability
will be carried forward after the lease end date until the make good obligations are fully discharged. The initial
estimate of the future make good liability is recognised as part of lease liabilities and the right-of-use assets.
The right-of-use asset component is depreciated across the lease term on a straight-line basis. The interest on
the make good liability is recognised as part of finance costs.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment
g.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of
the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net
cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash
flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate,
only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the
cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income
statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation
h.
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including capitalised lease assets is depreciated on a straight-line or
a diminishing value basis over their useful lives to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready
for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or
the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
Class of Fixed Asset
Leasehold improvements
Plant and equipment
Leased plant and equipment
Depreciation Rate
12.5 – 22.5%
5 – 67%
5 – 25%
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet
date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying
amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by
comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the statement of
comprehensive income.
Goodwill
i.
Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the sum
of:
-
-
-
the consideration transferred;
any non-controlling interest; and
the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest
over the acquisition date fair value of net identifiable assets acquired.
- 23 -
ACADEMIES AUSTRALASIA GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2021
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition
date fair value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate
financial statements.
Fair value uplifts in the value of pre-existing equity holdings are taken to the statement of comprehensive
income. Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other
comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit or loss.
The amount of goodwill recognised on acquisition of each subsidiary in which the Group holds less than a
100% interest will depend on the method adopted in measuring the non-controlling interest.
The Group can elect in most circumstances to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair
value (full goodwill method) or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the subsidiary’s
identifiable net asets (proportionate interest method). In such circumstances, the Group determines which
method to adopt for each acquisition and this is stated in the respective notes of these financial statements
disclosing the business combination.
Under the full goodwill method, the fair value of the non-controlling interest is detemined using valuation
techniques which make the maximum use of market information where available. Under this method, goodwill
attributable to the non-controlling interests is recognised in the consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and is allocated to the Group’s cash-generating units or groups of
cash-generating units, representing the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored not larger than an operating
segment. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill related to the
entity disposed of.
Intangible assets
j.
Intangible assets include course development costs and other intangible assets.
Course development costs are capitalised where they can be related to the development of an identifiable and
separable resource and which yields particular streams of future economic benefits. They are only capitalised
when technical feasibility studies identify that the project is expected to deliver future economic benefits and
these benefits can be measured reliably. These capitalised costs are amortised over their useful lives starting
from the time the development of a particular resource is complete and available for use. The period of
amortisation is up to 5 years.
Impairment of assets
k.
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine
whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the
recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is
compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount
is expensed to the statement of comprehensive income.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. Where it is
not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable
amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Collectibility of trade and other receivables and contract assets are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts are
written off when they are known to be uncollectible. An allowance for expected credit losses is raised where
some doubt as to collection exists and is the difference between the total amount owing and the amount
expected to be recovered. The Group also applies the AASB 9 simplified model of recognising lifetime
expected credit losses for receivables as these items do not have a significant financing component. An
expected credit loss allowance is recognised for the total expected loss from possible default events that may
arise over the expected life of the financial asset.
Expected credit losses are the probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of a financial
instrument. A credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due and all cash flows
expected to be received, all discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial instrument.
Recognition of expected credit losses in financial statements
At each reporting date, the Group recognises the movement in the loss allowance as an impairment gain or
loss in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
The carrying amount of financial assets measured at amortised cost includes the loss allowance relating to
that asset.
The Group has applied the expected credit loss model based on lifetime expected loss allowance for contract
assets.
Trade and other payables
l.
Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by the entity that remain
unpaid at the end of the reporting period. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts
normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.
Provisions and employee benefits
m.
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past
event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees
to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the
amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later
than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for
those benefits.
Issued capital
n.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity, and are recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by
the company. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a
deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Revenue
o.
Revenue is recognised over the period of tuition, upon completion of specific performance obligations of each
of the contracts. No revenue is recognised prior to a student commencing the tuition phase of delivery. As all
student contracts are for the provision of tuition, income for tuition is recognised as training is provided.
Payment terms vary from contract to contract but in most cases, cash is received prior to the performance
obligation being delivered. International students in particular are required to pay some level of tuition in
advance. Monies received in advance are held as unearned income and recognised as revenue as the
performance obligations are satisfied. Generally, the Group’s obligations in respect of refunds cease after the
course commences.
Revenue derived from the provision of education services is measured at the fair value of consideration
received or receivable to the extent that economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be
reliably measured.
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the
financial assets.
Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.
Rental revenue is recognised on a straight line accrual basis over the term of the lease.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
p. Goods and services tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST
incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised
as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in
the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of
investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
Income tax
q.
The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable
or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by
the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred
income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business
combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or
liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be
credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption
that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the Group will derive
sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of
deductibility imposed by the law.
Academies Australasia Group Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income
tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The Group notified the Australian Taxation Office
that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from 1 July 2003.
The tax consolidated group has entered a tax sharing agreement whereby each company in the group contributes
to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidated
group.

Foreign currency transactions and balances
r.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian currency (the functional currency) using the
exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the
year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange
rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate
at the date when fair values were determined.
Foreign Group Companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group’s
presentation currency are translated as follows:
-
-
-
assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at the end of the financial year;
income and expenses are translated at average rates for the period; and
retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group’s foreign
currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the
statement of comprehensive income.
Earnings per share
s.
Basic earnings per share are calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent divided by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares.
t. Comparative figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been restated to conform to changes in
presentation for the current financial year.
u. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical
knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events
and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group. These
estimates and judgements are considered significant items of revenue and expenses relevant in explaining the
financial performance.
Key Estimates – Impairment
The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may
lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is
determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of
key estimates. Further details on the key estimates used in impairment can be found in Note 16. No impairment
has been recognised in respect of goodwill for the year ended 30 June 2021.
Key Estimates – Revenue
The extent to which performance obligations have been satisfied in respect of revenue is estimated as per the
revenue policy (Note 1(o)).

For the year ended 30 June 2021
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Key Estimates- Recoverability of Receivables
The extent to which receivables are recoverable is used in estimating any allowance for expected credit
losses.
Factors considered include:
-
-
-
-
-
the aging profile of receivables;
the recognition of a corresponding deferred income liability;
the nature of the debtor (e.g. government, business or individual);
subsequent recovery of the receivable after date; and
prior history.
Key Assumptions-COVID-19 Pandemic
For assumptions regarding going concern see note 1(w), key issues that may trigger the impairment of
goodwill see Note 16 and for estimates on the recoverability of receivables see above. In addition, it is
assumed that:
-
-
the borders will re-open in the last quarter of FY22; and
there will be minimal Government assistance.
Other relevant information on the COVID-19 pandemic is in the Directors’ Report.
v. Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of an entity:
-
that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including
revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity);
- whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s Board to make decisions about resources
to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and
for which discrete financial information is available.
-
The Company has only one operating segment: Education.
w. Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared adopting the going concern assumption, which contemplates
the orderly realisation of assets and payment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The financial statements show that:
-
The Group had a net loss of $1,060,000 (2020 $3,901,000 profit) for the year ended 30 June 2021,
largely attributable to the impact of COVID-19; and
The Group had net current liabilities of $9,047,000 (2020: $7,640,000) as at 30 June 2021.
-
These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the
Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, the Group may be unable to realise its assets
and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The appropriateness of this assumption is dependent upon:
-
-
-
-
the continued support of the Group’s bankers;
the continued support of shareholders in the event of a capital raising;
the ability of the Group to return to profitable trading;
the orderly realisation of selected assets in the ordinary course of business at values at least equal to
their book values.

For the year ended 30 June 2021
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Board is currently satisfied that there are reasonable grounds to assume that the Company will meet its
future financial obligations as and when they fall due.
The following factors support this assumption:
-
-
Positive cash flow from operations for the year of $3,795,000.
Substantial cash holdings across the Group of $12,371,000 of which $10,142,000 is required to be held
in the TPS controlled accounts.
Positive net assets of $29,718,000.
The Group has no bank debt.
Significant efforts made to rationalise the cost structures of the business.
-
-
-
The Board recognises that the Statement of Financial Position presents a net current liability position of
$9,047,000. Included in this are fees paid in advance of $12,919,000. This is not an amount payable in the
ordinary course of business and will be recognised as income as tuition is delivered.

As at 30 June 2021, the Group held $10,142,000 (2020: $13,596,000) in TPS accounts.
(In 2012 the Education Services for Overseas Student Act 2000 (“ESOS Act”) was amended to provide additional
protection for international students studying in Australia. With effect from 1 July 2013, the Group is required to
maintain, in Australia, separate bank accounts (TPS accounts) for prepaid fees received from international students
prior to commencement of their course. Once the students commence their course, the funds may be transferred from the
TPS accounts to operating cash reserves. At all times, the Group must ensure that there are sufficient funds in the TPS
accounts to repay any prepaid tuition fees to international students who have not yet commenced their course. Fees
paid by students who have commenced their course are deposited directly to operating cash reserves. All fees received,
whether deposited to TPS or Group cash reserves are initially accounted for as unearned income, being subject to the
Group’s revenue recognition policy).

Goodwill is assessed by management at the cash generating unit level. The recoverable amount of the cash-generating
unit is determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections covering five years. Cash flows beyond
the five-year period are estimated using a terminal value calculated under standard valuation principles incorporating a
long term growth rate.
The following assumptions were used in the value in use calculations:
Revenue

Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the parent entity in proportion to the number
of shares held.
At a shareholders meeting each ordinary share is entitled to one vote.
The number of shares authorised is equal to the number of shares issued. Shares have no par value.
ii. Capital Management.
Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maintain an acceptable debt to equity ratio, provide the
shareholders with adequate returns and ensures that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.
The Group’s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets.
Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in
response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of debt levels,
distributions to shareholders and share issues.
There were no changes in the Group’s capital management procedures during the year.

25. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Directors’ transactions with the Company and the Group
Details of Directors’ remuneration are set out in the Remuneration Report on pages 9 and 10. Directors are reimbursed
for expenses incurred by them on behalf of the Group.
Directors’ and specified executives’ relevant interests in shares
See Directors’ Report on pages 7,8 and 31.
Other related party transactions
Transactions between the Company and controlled entities comprise loans, management fees and interest and are
eliminated on consolidation.
26. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial Risk Management
The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, investments, accounts receivable and payable,
loans to and from subsidiaries, bills and leases.
The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments is to raise finance for operations.
i. Treasury Risk Management
Senior management meet on a regular basis to review currency and interest rate exposure and to evaluate treasury
management strategies where relevant, in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts.
ii. Financial Risks
The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk,
liquidity risk and credit risk.
Foreign currency risk
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on its purchase of products and the sale of training and education courses
to international students and on the translation of its foreign subsidiaries. The Group had not hedged foreign currency
transactions as at 30 June 2021. Senior management continues to evaluate this risk on an ongoing basis.
Credit risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to
recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in
the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements. In the education business, credit risk is minimised by, generally,
collecting tuition fees in advance.
Interest rate risk
The interest rate risk has been managed by the Group by reducing and in most cases eliminating interest bearing debt.
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result
of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on classes of financial assets and
financial liabilities, is as follows:

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

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion.
MATERIAL UNCERTAINTY RELATED TO GOING CONCERN
We draw attention to Note l{w) in the financial report, which indicates that the Group
incurred a net loss of $1.060m during the year ended 30 June 2021, and as of that
date, the Group's current liabilities exceed its current assets by $9.047m. As stated in
Note l(w), these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note
l(w), indicate that a material uncertainty exists because of the impact of COVID-19
that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
KEY AUDIT MA TIERS
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most
significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters
were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these
matters.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a

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.
