A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 2 Manager of Australia’s First Listed Flexible Property Security Who We Are BlackWall is a fund manager with investment, capabilities across asset, development and property management. This integrated offering means we see opportunities where others don’t. We put our money where our mouth is, and hold strategic positions in the funds that we manage – the largest being Australia’s first listed flexible property security, WOTSO Property (ASX:WOT). We have a close-knit and diverse team of individuals who take an entrepreneurial approach to growing the BlackWall business and brand. and Other Comprehensive Income Contents 3 Directors’ Report 6 Statement of Profit or Loss 6 Balance Sheet 7 Statement of Cash Flows 8 Statement of Changes in Equity 9 Notes to the Financial Statements 21 Directors’ Report – Continued 24 Directors’ Declaration 25 Auditor’s Independence Declaration and Audit Report 2 BlackWall Limited June 2022 Directors’ Report BlackWall Limited (BlackWall, BWF or the Group) has seen revenue growth of 11% in FY 22 and will pay a final dividend of 2.4 cps to bring the full year dividend to 5.0 cps fully franked. This represents a current grossed up dividend yield of 9.5%.* BlackWall Limited generates annuity income from the real estate investment structures it manages, the largest being WOTSO Property (ASX:WOT). Over the past year our assets under management have grown by 12% to $500 million. We drive management fees off these assets which is then passed onto shareholders. We have maintained our dividend for the full year of 5.0 cps (2021: 5.0 cps). Review of Financial Performance Management fee income Transaction income Total Revenue Total operating expenses Operating Profit Government COVID assistance Investment distributions received Funds From Activities Other statutory adjustments (incl. revaluations) Profit Before Tax 2022 $’000 5,739 616 6,355 (4,435) 1,920 223 986 3,129 (1,273) 1,856 2021 $’000 5,396 325 5,721 (3,838) 1,883 504 804 3,191 708 3,899 1 2 3 Management fee income increased by 6% to $5.7 million. This increase is driven predominately by WOT with valuation uplift of some of its properties and an increase in its WOTSO flexspace turnover. Operating profit increased to $1.9 million. Despite operating profit being up, the statutory net profit before tax has decreased to $1.8 million. This was largely driven by our investment in WOT with movement in its ASX share price to $1.39 from $1.47 in 2021. This created a revaluation loss in FY 22. WOT’s market price is not something we can control and we are long term holders of this investment so these movements (up or down) are not a focus for us. Maintained Funds From Activities (FFA). Despite the headwinds of COVID our FFA has been maintained at $3.1 million and we expect this to grow as our assets and revenue under management grow. It is important to note that unlike many other REITs we do not solely require assets to grow in value to get material uplifts in FFA, we have the additional fees charged on the WOTSO revenue which has the capacity to grow. BlackWall issued 4.3 million new shares in FY 22 under its employee option scheme, and a significant portion of the funds raised were used to re-invest in WOTSO Property. WHY? We believe that the pricing conditions for WOT presented a compelling and attractive purchase point with the share price trading well below Net Asset Value (NAV). * On a share price of $0.70. Key Numbers $500 million of assets under management 7 properties acquired by WOT in last two years 5.0 cps fully franked full year dividend $6.4 million total revenue Up 11% BlackWall Limited June 2022 3 Fund Highlights 4 WOTSO Property Following on from the three properties acquired in the 2021 financial year, a further four properties were purchased this year. Two adjoining properties were purchased in Cremorne NSW, WOT expanded into Western Australia with a property in Mandurah, and finally WOT secured a property in Auckland, New Zealand. Each property is earmarked to have a WOTSO and other service based uses. The third party leased sites that WOTSO operates are also slated to increase with negotiations finalised for two new sites in Sydney’s West. WOT has seen a number of strong revaluations throughout the property portfolio which translate to increased management fees. WOTSO’s annualised revenue now sits at $23.7 million meaning the second tranche of BWF’s management fee is activated (5% per annum of all revenue above $20 million per annum). WOTSO has a clear strategy to offer businesses a home close to where their people live and this has translated into strong demand for WOTSO’s flexspace offering. The revenue growth trajectory is significant for both WOTSO itself, but also BWF as the manager. Net Asset Value 8% Wind up of Woods PIPES The seven year term of the Woods PIPES Fund expired at the end of the 2022 financial year. We are pleased to achieve a 45 cents per share PIPES bonus for the fund’s investors, which was on top of the regular 8% per annum distributions, equating to a total internal rate of return (IRR) of 13% per annum. IRR 13% p.a. over 7 years New Fund Launched Pyrmont Bridge Road Mortgage Fund We were excited to bring our first unlisted retail and wholesale fund offering since the launch of the Woods PIPES Fund. The new Pyrmont Bridge Road Mortgage Fund was born out of the restructure of the debt over the Pyrmont property and offers investors consistently strong distributions of 6% per annum, combined with $68 million of capital buffer. The fund is open for new investment now and will be offered on an ongoing basis meaning we can welcome new investors and introduce them to the Group over the 5 year term of the fund. Fund size $20 million BlackWall Limited June 2022 BlackWall as a Corporate Citizen We have continued our longstanding relationship with The Kid’s Cancer Project (TKCP) and this year our team was excited to have raised over $60,000 and ranked first on the leader board for TKCP Better Challenge where participants aim to run, walk or roll 90km over the month of September. Additionally, our very own Jess Glew was appointed as a director of TKCP. Our Vaccine for Caffeine program was a success as various parts of the country emerged from COVID lockdowns late in 2021. The program encouraged WOTSO members to get on board with the national vaccine rollout for a chance to win a share of $27,000 to be spent at local businesses. It was our way of supporting the vaccine rollout and helping local businesses doing it tough. We also formally launched our employee development program, the BlackWOT Academy. The team enjoyed the first iteration of the program, which culminated in the three day BlackWOT personal development conference held in Noosa, QLD. The Year Ahead As we gaze into our crystal ball for next year and beyond, we are conscious of the various economic factors at play, such as rising inflation, the threat of a global downturn and the ongoing influence of COVID. However, we believe, that with a clear and strategic outlook there will be a number of opportunities that we can embrace as a Group. We can offer our existing and new investors even more choice via our listed and unlisted structures as we continue to expand our reach as a proven and trusted manager.

COVID Impact In the current year, WOTSO Property (WOT), an investee of the Group, continued to provide rent relief to During 2022 the group disposed of its investment in Gymea Bay Unit Trust (GBUT). GBUT redeveloped 2 tenants in the form of rent waivers and deferrals, as required by the mandatory code of conduct between landlords and tenants. WOTSO Limited, a stapled group member of WOT, also reinstated its suspension policy residential properties in the south of Sydney. The income of $181,000 reflects BWF’s 25% share of the profit on sale of the properties. during the year, which was available to any members located in COVID affected lockdown areas, and allowed these members to suspend their membership without penalty. This resulted in average revenue decreases of approximately 65% across impacted sites during the lockdowns for WOTSO Limited. The policy ended in The IndigoBlack income is the share of profit from BWF’s investment in this construction business. BWF also received a cash dividend from the entity of $90,000. November 2021 and WOTSO Limited’s revenue has since recovered with June annualised revenue reaching See Note 9 for further information. just shy of $24 million, close to 50% higher than pre-COVID levels. This decrease in WOT’s revenue, as a result of the COVID related rent relief and membership suspension policy meant a reduction in BlackWall’s management fees that could have been charged. 4. Net Unrealised (Loss) / Gain on Investments BWF qualified for the government’s JobSaver program and other related stimulus measures since the start of the pandemic in March 2020. The government stimulus revenue received for the current financial year was $223,000 (2021: $504,000). 3.

Financial Risk Management (d) Liquidity Risk (a) Financial Risk Management The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s principal financial instruments are cash, financial assets and borrowings. Additionally, the Group has various other financial instruments such as trade debtors and trade creditors, which arise directly from its operations. This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and overseeing of the risk management framework. It monitors the Group’s risk exposure by regularly reviewing finance and property markets. The Group holds the following major financial instruments: At 30 June 2022 Financial Liabilities Trade and other payables Lease liabilities At 30 June 2021 Financial Liabilities Trade and other payables Lease liabilities Maturing Within 1 Year $’000 Maturing 2-5 Years $’000 Maturing over 5 Years $’000 916 137 1,053 482 132 614 - 329 329 - 464 464 - - - - - - Total $’000 916 466 1,382 482 596 1,078 Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Investment in WOT Employee loans Financial Liabilities Trade and other payables Lease liabilities 2022 $’000 1,166 23,412 1,056 916 466 2021 $’000 3,133 22,602 - 482 596 (b) Sensitivity Analysis The Group is not exposed to any material credit, foreign exchange, interest or liquidity risks. (e) Fair Value Measurements (i) Fair Value Hierarchy The Group classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the subjectivity of the inputs used in making measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels: • Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and • Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The fair value of financial assets traded in active markets is subsequently based on their quoted market prices The investment in WOT securities are subject to price risk, a 10% decrease in the ASX trading price (from the at the end of the reporting period without any deduction for estimated future selling costs. The quoted market price at 30 June 2022, i.e. $1.39 per security) would result in an unrealised loss after tax of $1.8 million. price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. (c) Capital Management The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to: • safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and • maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares, buy-back shares, purchase or sell assets. The following table presents the Group’s financial assets measured at fair value as at 30 June. Refer to the Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgment note for further details of assumptions used and how fair values are measured.

(iii) Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Observable Inputs (Level 3) The following table is a reconciliation of the movements in financial assets classified as Level 3 for the year ended 30 June: At 30 June 2022 Balance at the beginning of the year Movement Balance at the End of the Year At 30 June 2021 Balance at the beginning of the year Reduction due to WOTSO Limited forming part of the WOT stapled security Balance at the End of the Year There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 and 3 financial instruments during the period. 27. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments $’000 - - - 3,893 (3,893) - The fair value of financial instruments not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques including a discounted cash flow model. The main inputs used include: • discount rates for financial assets and financial liabilities are determined using a capital asset pricing model to calculate a rate that reflects the risk specific to the asset; • revenue growth rates for locations currently below capacity is based on growth rates achieved in the past or at similar locations where there is no past evidence; • sales prices for products are related to the product being offered and are adapted for each location with consideration given to economic factors prevailing at the location and competitor prices; and • current economic environment operates within a range similar to the past. The impact of COVID or similar economic event is not possible to quantify reliably. 28. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies BWF is a publicly listed company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The financial statements for the Group were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on the date they were issued. These financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The financial statements of the Group also comply with IFRS as issued by knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events the International Accounting Standards Board. and are based on current trends in economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group. Key Estimates - COVID The impact of the COVID pandemic is ongoing. It is not practical to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, on the various revenue streams and the performance of the Group. The situation is dependent on measures imposed by the federal and state governments, and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, vaccinations, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided. 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. The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied. BWF is a group of the kind referred to in ASIC Instrument 2016/191 and, in accordance with that Instrument, amounts in the Directors’ Report and the financial statements are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated. The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the financial statements. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. Going Concern The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of Key Estimates - Financial Assets All financial assets at Fair Value Through the Profit or Loss (FVTPL) have been classified as financial assets, with business. gains and losses recognised as profit or loss. The fair value of the listed securities is based on the closing price from the Australian Securities Exchange as at the reporting date. 16 Segment Reporting AASB 8 Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance. The Group’s primary format for segment reporting is based on business segments. The business segments are determined based on the Group management BlackWall Limited June 2022 and internal reporting structure. Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a When the Group’s share of losses in an equity accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. The operating businesses are organised including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has and managed separately according to the nature of the products and services provided, with each segment incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity. The carrying amount of equity accounted representing a strategic business unit that offers different products and serves different markets investments is tested for impairment in accordance with these policies. The Group has adopted three reporting segments: BlackWall, Investments, and Corporate. The BlackWall segment engages in funds and asset management as well as property services that include property management, leasing and general property consultancy. Income earned by the segment includes recurring income from fund and asset management mandates and transaction-based income typically related to those mandates. Management treats these operations as one fee earning operating segment. The assets assigned to the segment are those it is required to hold to comply with its AFSL capital adequacy requirements. The Investments segment includes interests in property related investments such as units in related party listed and unlisted unit trusts, loans and cash. It generates income from dividends, distributions and interest. The Corporate segment relates to company taxation and selected corporate overheads. Presentation of Financial Statements Both the functional and presentation currency of BWF and its Australian subsidiaries is Australian dollars. Non-Controlling Interests Non-controlling interests (not held by the Group) are allocated their share of net profit and comprehensive income after tax in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and are presented within equity in the consolidated balance sheet, separately from parent shareholders’ equity. Property, Plant and Equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of an item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the Various functional currencies including New Zealand Dollar results are translated to presentation currency. day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit and loss as incurred. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of BWF and its subsidiaries. A list of Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a diminishing value basis over their useful lives to controlled entities is contained in Note 23 - Controlled Entities. All controlled entities have a June financial year the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. end and use consistent accounting policies. Investments in subsidiaries held by the Group are accounted for at cost, less any impairment charges (refer to Note 25 - Parent Entity Information). The estimated useful lives used for each class of depreciable assets are: 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 Furniture, fixtures and fittings Office equipment over 2 to 10 years over 4 to 10 years 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. Right of use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, with reference to the remaining lease term, including options to extend if reasonably certain to extend the lease term. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. Intercompany Balances All intercompany balances and transactions between entities in the Group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where Disposal An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further economic benefits necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the parent entity. are expected from its use or disposal. Associates Interests in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the post acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss. Dividends received or receivable from associates are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised. 17 BlackWall Limited June 2022 Impairment of Assets 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. (i) Equity Investments All equity investments are measured at fair value. Equity investments that are held for trading are measured at fair value through profit or loss. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less (ii) Loans and Receivables costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. In assessing value in use, either the Loans and receivables including loans to related parties are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset, or the income of the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit and loss when the loans and receivables asset is capitalised at its relevant capitalisation rate. are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are expensed to the profit and loss. Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indication that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss has been recognised. Financial Instruments Non-derivative Financial Instruments Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in equity and debt securities, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables. Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition non- derivative financial instruments are measured as described below. Fair Value The fair values of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets are determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance date. For investments in related party unlisted unit trusts, fair values are determined by reference to published unit prices of these investments which are based on the net tangible assets of each of the investments. Impairment At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. A financial instrument is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. In the case of available- for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. An impairment loss in respect of a financial instrument measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. An impairment loss in respect of an available-for-sale financial asset is calculated by reference to its fair value. Recognition A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Individually significant financial instruments are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics. Financial assets are derecognised if the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flow from the financial assets Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss. An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be expire or if the Group transfers the financial assets to another party without retaining control or substantially related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial instruments all risks and rewards of the asset. Purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e. measured at amortised cost, the reversal is recognised in profit and loss. the date that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled. Financial Assets All financial assets at FVTPL have been classified as financial assets, with gains and losses recognised in profit or loss. The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: those to be measured subsequently at fair value and those to be measured at amortised cost. The classification depends on the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial Liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation. Investments in Associates Investments in associate companies are recognised in the financial statements by applying the equity method of accounting where significant influence is exercised over an investee. Significant influence exists where the investor has the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but does not have control or joint control over those policies. 18 BlackWall Limited June 2022 Under the equity method of accounting, investments in the associates are carried in the consolidated balance Investment Income Finance income comprises interest on funds invested and gains on the disposal of financial assets. Interest sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associates. The Group’s income is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. Dividend and distribution revenue share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the income statement, and its share of is recognised when the right to receive income has been established. post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The cumulative post acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of the interest is reduced to nil and the recognition In-specie distributions and returns of capital are brought on to the balance sheet by an adjustment in the carrying value of the relevant investment and then reflected in the profit and loss as an unrealised gain. of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments All revenue is stated net of the amount of GST. on behalf of the investee. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Trade and Other Receivables Trade receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less a provision for any uncollectable debts. An estimate for credit loss impairment is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the receivable. Financial difficulties of the debtor and default payments are considered objective evidence of impairment. Bad debts are written off when identified as uncollectable. Trade and Other Payables Liabilities for trade creditors are carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future Leases AASB 16 was adopted by the Group on 1 July 2019, applying the modified retrospective approach. Right of use assets and liabilities are recognised for all leases with a lease term of more than 12 months; unless the underlying asset is of a low value. Initial recognition of both the right of use asset and corresponding lease liability is calculated using the present value of remaining lease payments; discounted using the rate implicit in the lease or, if not easily determinable, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. The right of use asset is adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments or onerous lease contracts. Income Tax Current Income Tax Expense The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit 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 for goods or services received, whether or not billed to the Group at balance date. The amounts are unsecured balance sheet date. and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Employee Benefits Other Long Term Employee Benefits The Group’s net obligation in respect of long term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods plus related on-costs. These employee benefits have not been discounted to the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Short Term Benefits Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries and annual leave represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided to the reporting date and are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the Group expects to pay as at reporting date including related on-costs. Revenue BWF Property Fees include management fees and transaction income. They are recognised when it becomes legally due and payable to the Group. Accounting for Deferred Tax 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 Calculation 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. 19 BlackWall Limited June 2022 Deferred Income Tax Assets Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available Dividends The final dividend for June period is declared and authorised after the end of the reporting period, therefore against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred income tax provision for dividend is not booked in the current year accounts. assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Benefit Brought to Account The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption EPS The Group presents basic and diluted EPS data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions dilutive potential ordinary shares. of deductibility imposed by the law. Tax Consolidation BWF has elected to form a tax consolidated group with its wholly-owned entities for income tax purposes Comparative Figures When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. Any change of presentation has been made in order to make the under the tax consolidation regime with effect from 1 January 2011. As a consequence, all members of the financial statements more relevant and useful to the user. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations BWF 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. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year. Several amendments apply for the first time in the current year. However, they do not impact the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. Based on our preliminary assessment, we do not expect them to have a material impact on the Group. tax consolidated group are taxed as a single entity from that date. The head entity within the tax consolidated group is BWF. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, BWF also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group in conjunction with any tax funding arrangement amounts. The Group recognises deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the tax consolidated group to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits of the tax consolidated group will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Any subsequent period adjustments to deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses as a result of revised assessments of the probability of recoverability is recognised by the head entity only. 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 Group. 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. Equity 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. 20 BlackWall Limited June 2022 Directors’ Report Continued ASX Additional Information Additional information required by the Australian Securities Exchange and not shown elsewhere in this report is as follows.
