Chairman’s and 
CEO’s Review

We welcome you as a shareholder to Catapult in 
what has been a defining year for the Company.

Since our successful equity raising and listing on 
the ASX in December 2014, where shares were 
issued at $0.55, demand for the stock has been 
strong producing a total shareholder return of 
89 per cent to the year ended 30 June 2015. 
This trend of significant outperformance to 
the broader market has continued into the new 
financial year, in particular following the release 
of our 2015 full year results on 10 August 2015.

Revenue increased 
by 26% per cent … 
delivering a total 
contract value of 
$16.9m for the year.

The strength of our share 
price reflects the 
Company’s underlying 
performance over the past 
year, which was not only 
significantly higher than 
the prior year but also 
ahead of our Prospectus 
forecasts across metrics 
including: total unit 

ordered, Revenue, EBITDA and NPAT. Revenue 
increased by 26% per cent, driven largely by the 
5,115 units ordered in the period and delivering 
a total contract value of $16.9m for the year.

The Company’s global profile grew significantly, 
with Fast Company Magazine ranking Catapult 
as Number 12 on its list of the World’s Most 
Innovative Companies, as well as Number 1 
across two other categories, Fitness and 
Big Data.

As outlined in the Prospectus, Catapult has 
a clearly defined long terms global expansion 
strategy with four pillars:

(i) 

Increasing market penetration in 
North America and Europe

(ii)  Continuing to build revenues from 

subscription sales

(iii)  Growing revenue per user through product 
upgrades and new analytical packages

(iv)  Exploring opportunities for the deployment 

of targeted consumer products.

We continue to make significant progress in 
market penetration across North America and 
Europe with major wins across key target 
leagues including: 

(i) 

18 NFL teams (of 32)

(ii)  13 NBA teams (of 30)

(iii)  6 MLS teams (of 20)

(iv)  46 NCAA teams (US collegiate sports)

(v)  30 English football teams across EPL, 
Championship and League one

(vi)  10 English Premier Rugby teams (of 12)

(vii)  5 Bundesliga teams (of 18)

(viii)  6 Turkish Superlig teams (of 18).

Catapult has become a truly global business 
with North America and Europe having 
accounted for 67% of our total revenue in the 
year. Revenue in the US was up 288% to $4.3m, 
and Europe was up 88% to $3.2m. Australia 
remains an important core to our global 
business and operations and we are proud of 
the stable, recurring revenue business we have 
established, where we continue to supply every 
AFL team, every NRL team, and every Australian 
Super Rugby team.

A key focus underlying our market penetration 
strategy in North America and Europe has been 
a rapid expansion of our sales and marketing 
teams within these regions. As at 30 June 2015, 
Catapult increased its team in North America by 
more than 3 times and in Europe by more than 
6 times. These new hires have also included the 
appointment of highly experienced local CEOs 
to ensure our growth agenda is well supported. 
We have a global management team united in 
its focus on delivering a strong localised sales 
and support offering. 

We have also witnessed early signs of emerging 
demand from other regions such as Asia, such 
as the signing of our first beachhead clients in 
the Chinese Super League and Thai Premier 
League. Revenue from the region increased 
from $0.07m in the 2014 financial year to $1.6m

any solution and represents a “green fields” 
opportunity. Based on the current strategy 
as set out at IPO, Catapult is confident of 
delivering strong growth in the 2016 financial 
year in the range of 30-40% additional units 
ordered compared to 2015. Revenue growth 
is expected to be spurred by the compounding 
effect of our subscription business which 
provides a sold base upon which to execute our 
global growth strategy.

We are confident that by maintaining our 
strategic focus we will continue to expand our 
client base globally, putting us in a strong 
position to capitalise on vertical opportunities 
within the industry and generate value for all 
our stakeholders.

We would like to thank our shareholders, 
customers and all our Catapult staff for 
embracing our vision, sharing our confidence 
and supporting our efforts this year. We look 
forward to celebrating many more significant 
achievements with you in the future.

Dr Adir Shiffman 
Executive Chairman 

Mr Shaun Holthouse 
Chief Executive Officer

and as a result management has moved sooner 
than expected to deliver a more structured 
approach to Asia as a third key growth market.

Importantly the growth Catapult has achieved 
across the globe has been underpinned by a 
strong rise in the total number of units under 
subscription across these regions. The result is 
that total annualized revenue under subscription 
contracts sits at $7.3m, as at 30 June 2015.  
We continue to focus significant energy on 
supporting our rapidly growing existing clients, 
as exemplified by our 100% retention of 
customers under subscription.

This year also saw a major focus on integrating 
the GP Sports business into our global platform. 
Our priorities for this business were clear from 
the outset – to retain all clients, all desired staff 
and to manage the integration effectively 
ensuring minimal disruption to clients of the 
business. Not only were we successful in 
achieving these objectives, but our focus on 
targeting new leagues outside traditional 
territories has resulted in record sales for GP 
Sports, delivering 48% growth in the total value 
of contracts sold in the year. 

Another development of which we are proud 
is that Catapult has formed a new North 
American partnership with another of the 
world’s innovators in athlete analytics, XOS 
Digital Inc, which was announced during the 
year. The strategic tie-up delivers elite teams the 
next generation in analytics, commencing with 
American Football. Under the partnership, 
Catapult will integrate a variety of advanced 
analytical player performance data into the XOS 
Thunder Radar platform alongside game and 
practice video. Jacksonville Jaguars NFL team 
was revealed as the first team to benefit from 
the combined initiative which has now 
expanded to 4 other teams.

Despite the significant progress Catapult has 
made this year, we believe more than 90% 
of the addressable market does not yet have

Operating and Financial Review

Catapult Group International Ltd  ABN: 53 164 301 197

Catapult Group International Ltd and subsidiaries (the “Group” or “Catapult”) principal activities are the development and 
supply of wearable athlete tracking and analytics solutions. 

The Group has recorded an increased loss of $4.3m. This is mainly due to the continued transition to a subscription business 
model, expansions into the United States and European markets and continued investment in development of products.

The Group’s net assets increased to $11.9m compared to the previous years’ position of $3.7m, largely attributable to the 
Group’s capital raising activities.

Catapult continues to invest in its athlete tracking technology and products with a view to:

> 

Increasing average revenue per unit for high end customers as we develop more analytics

>  Downward penetration into prosumer markets

>  Analytics sales to media and fan engagement applications 

>  Leverage relationships with the world’s most powerful sports brands into consumer opportunities

Highlights of FY15 are presented below.

To summarise Catapult delivered a strong financial result in FY15 mainly driven by 24% more unit orders than forecast due 
to stronger than expected performance in emerging markets (mainly in Asia and parts of Europe). This is likely the result 
of a faster than expected maturation of the global marketplace, and is encouraging for the overall business.

Operating and Financial Review continued

Review of Operations

The Group is the global leader in wearable elite athlete tracking technology and corresponding sporting analytics, 
which sees a summary of the market as follows:

>  Every AFL, NRL and Australian Super Rugby team utilise Catapult devices

>  Rapidly expanding US and European client list across key leagues including 18 NFL, 13 NBA, 46 NCAA, 6 MLS 

and 30 English soccer teams

>  Management estimates more than 90% of the addressable market does not yet have any solution in this space

Catapult has experienced rapid expansion to offshore markets and new verticals, which is key to supporting ongoing 
operations through:

>  Subscription model driving stable and recurring revenue base

>  Recent build out of sales and marketing presence in US and EU markets using IPO funds

>  Unrivalled trust, brand and reputation with significant PR uplift

Financial Position

At 30 June 2015, the Group has cash and cash equivalents of $5.6m.

The net assets of the Group has increased by $8.2m from $3.7m to $11.9m in 2015. This increase has largely attributable 
to the Group’s capital raising activities and Catapult continues to utilise the cash and assets (in a form readily convertible 
to cash) that it had at the time of admission to the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) in a manner way consistent with its 
stated business objectives.

The Group has performed exceptionally well in 2015 achieving record unit orders and strong growth in subscriptions 
which delivered a substantially better financial result than we had forecast.

This performance has resulted in Catapult reaching a total contract value of $16.9m for FY15 and an annualised run 
rate of $7.3m carrying into FY16, which puts the Group in a great position to continue aggressively pursuing further 
growth opportunities.

The Company has adopted a Diversity Policy which identifies 
gender diversity as a key area of focus for the Company. Gender 
diversity is integral to the Company’s overall diversity strategy. 
Increasing the representation of women is one of the Company’s 
ongoing priorities. Diversity related measurable objectives for the 
Company and its controlled entities will be reviewed on an annual 
basis. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is 
responsible, on an annual basis, for developing a long-term plan 
to address diversity initiatives and measures. 

A copy of the Diversity Policy is available on the Company’s 
website at the following URL:

http://www.catapultsports.com/au/investors/corporate-governance 

For the reporting period (being the financial year ended 30 June 
2015), the Remuneration and Nomination Committee set the 
following measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity:

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee did not 
implement measurable objectives. Given the Company’s size it 
was not given highest priority, however employment sentiment 
reflects ongoing diversification

It is noted that the current diversity policy states that the 
Company’s measurable objectives must have regard to the 
following key metrics:

(a)  representation by gender within each band within the 

Company, including key executives; and 

(b)  salary comparison by gender and role level.

As at the end of the reporting period, the respective proportions

disclose a board skills matrix setting 
out the mix of skills and diversity that 
the board currently has or is looking 
to achieve in its membership.

2.3 A listed entity should disclose:

(a)  the names of the directors 

considered by the board to be 
independent directors;

(b)  if a director has an interest, 
position, association or 
relationship of the type described 
in Box 2.3 but the board is of 
the opinion that it does not 
compromise the independence 
of the director, the nature of the 
interest, position, association or 
relationship in question and an 
explanation of why the board is 
of that opinion; and

(c)  the length of service of each

Yes 

2.5 The chair of the board of a listed 
entity should be an independent 
director and, in particular, should not

the entity.

2.6 A listed entity should have a program 
for inducting new directors and provide 
appropriate professional development 
opportunities for directors to develop 
and maintain the skills and knowledge 
needed to perform their role as 
directors effectively.

The Board strives to ensure that it is comprised of directors with 
a blend of skills, experience and attributes appropriate for the 
Company and its business. The Remuneration and Nomination 
Committee is responsible for preparing a board skills matrix. 

To date, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee has 
not consider that a skills matrix is required given the stage of 
development of the business. However, the Remuneration and 
Nomination Committee will continue to consider whether it would 
be appropriate for the Company to adopt a board skills matrix 
as the Company continues to develop.

The Board has reviewed the position and associations of each 
of the six directors in office and has determined that two are 
independent. In making this determination the Board has had 
regard to the independence criteria in the ASX Principles 
and Recommendations, and other facts, information and 
circumstances that the Board considers relevant. The Board 
assesses the independence of new directors upon appointment 
and reviews their independence, and the independence of the 
other directors, as appropriate.

Information with respect to potential issues of independence may 
be disclosed to the market but no formal policy exists to ensure 
such disclosure.

The Company has disclosed the details of each director (including 
their length of service) in the 2015 Annual Report.

No

The Board considers only Mrs O’Donnell and Mr Scrimshaw 
to be independent directors of the Company. 

Considering the Company’s current size and stage of development, 
the Board does not consider a majority independent board of 
directors to be a key priority. 

The Company’s current chairman, Dr Adir Shiffman is not an 
independent director. The Board considers Mr Shiffman’s role 
as Executive Chairman essential to the success of the Company 
in its current stage. 

Each new director of the Company will, upon appointment, 
participate in an induction program. This will include meeting with 
members of the existing Board, the Joint Company Secretaries, 
management and other relevant executives to familiarise 
themselves with the Company, its procedures and prudential 
requirements, and Board practices and procedures.

Principal activities 

During the year, the principal activities of entities within 
the Group were: 

>  ongoing development and sale of elite athlete 

wearable tracking solutions; and 

>  ongoing development and sale of analytics for 

athlete tracking.

There have been no significant changes in the nature 
of these activities during the year. 

Review of operations and financial results 

The Group is the global leader in wearable elite athlete 
tracking technology and corresponding sporting analytics. 
The Group has a diverse customer base across sports 
regions and leagues.

The Group has recorded an increased loss of $4,309,230 
(2014: $1,402,601 loss). This is mainly due to the continued 
transition to a subscription business model, expansions 
into the United States and European markets and 
continued investment in development of products.

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2015

21

Loss per share for the year was $0.04 (2014: $0.02) and 
no dividend will be paid or declared.

Additional capital raising activities were undertaken during 
the year which raised $12m and allowed the Group to 
position itself with a sound cash position for 2015 and 
allow for continued growth.

The Group defended legal actions over the employment 
and subsequent restraint of trade for a key US employee 
and $174,291 was expensed (net of insurance recovery) for 
legal costs. This matter was ultimately settled on favourable 
terms to the Group. 

The Group took action against Statsports, to enforce its 
intellectual property rights and to date $305,335 has been 
expensed, this matter is currently at a stay in proceedings. 

The Group’s net assets increased to $11.9m compared to 
the previous years’ position of $3.7m, largely attributable 
to the Group’s capital raising activities.

–  On 16 December 2014, the Group issued 6,201,600 
ordinary shares on the conversion of the convertible 
notes previously on issue by the Group and held by 
One Managed Investment Funds Ltd.

–  On 16 December, the Group issued 21,818,182 
ordinary shares as part of its capital raising 
program, being an Initial Public Offering (IPO) 
which resulted in gross cash proceeds of $12m.

Dividends 

In respect of the current year, no dividend has been paid 
by Catapult Group International Limited.

the results of those operations in future financial years; or 

> 

the entity’s state of affairs in future financial years.

Likely developments, business strategies 
and prospects

Based on the expected demand in the wearables market 
globally as experienced by our inbound enquiries and 
recent sales history, we expect a significant increase in 
sales for next few years. The company completed an IPO 
in December 2014 to provide on-going working capital.

The material business risks faced by the Group that are 
likely to have an effect on the financial prospects of the 
Group, and how the Group manages these risks include: 

Catapult Technology and Hosting Platforms

Catapult relies upon its primary hosting provider, Amazon 
Web Services (AWS), to maintain continuous operation of 
its technology platforms, servers and hosting services and 
the cloud based environment in which it provides its 
products. There is a risk that these systems may be 
adversely affected by various factors such as damage, 

22

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2015

Directors’ Report continued

faulty or ageing equipment, power surges or failures, 
computer viruses, or misuse by staff or contractors. Other 
factors such as hacking, denial of service attacks, or 
natural disasters may also adversely affect these systems 
and cause them to become unavailable. Hacking or 
exploitation of any vulnerability on those platforms could 
lead to loss, theft or corruption of data.

Further, if AWS ceased to offer its services to Catapult 
and Catapult was unable to obtain a replacement provider 
quickly, this could also lead to disruption of service to the 
Catapult websites and cloud infrastructure.

This could render Catapult’s services unavailable for a 
period of time while data is restored. It could also lead to 
unauthorised disclosure of users’ data with associated 
reputational damage, claims by users, regulatory 
scrutiny and fines.

Although Catapult employs strategies and protections 
to try to minimise security breaches and to protect data, 
these strategies and protections might not be entirely 
successful. In that event, disruption to Catapult’s services 
could adversely impact on Catapult’s revenue and 
profitability. The loss of client data could have severe 
impacts to client service, reputation and the ability for 
clients to use the products.

This could lead to a loss of revenue while Catapult is 
unable to provide its services, as well as adversely 
affecting its reputation. This could have a material adverse 
effect on Catapult’s financial position and performance. 

Development and commercialisation of 
intellectual property

Catapult relies on its ability to develop and commercialise its 
intellectual property. A failure to develop and commercialise 
its intellectual property successfully would lead to a loss of 
opportunities and adversely impact on the operating results 
and financial position of Catapult. Furthermore, any third 
party developing superior technology or technology with 
greater commercial appeal in the fields in which Catapult 
operates may harm the future prospects of Catapult.

Catapult’s success depends, in part, on its ability to obtain, 
maintain and protect its intellectual property, including its 
patents. Actions taken by Catapult to protect its intellectual 
property may not be adequate, complete or enforceable 
and may not prevent the misappropriation of its intellectual 
property and proprietary information or deter independent 
development of similar technologies by others. Catapult 
may also suffer damage if former employees infringe its 
intellectual property rights or assert their moral rights.

The granting of a patent does not guarantee that Catapult’s 
intellectual property is protected and that others will not 
develop similar technologies that circumvents such 
patents. There can be no assurance that any patents 
Catapult owns, controls or licences, whether now or in the 
future, will give Catapult commercially significant protection 
of its intellectual property. 

Monitoring unauthorised use of Catapult’s intellectual 
property rights is difficult and can be costly. Catapult may 
not be able to detect unauthorised use of its intellectual 
property rights. Changes in laws in Australia and other 
jurisdictions in which Catapult operates may adversely 
affect Catapult’s intellectual property rights.

Other parties may develop and patent substantially similar 
or substitute products, processes, or technologies to those 
used by Catapult, and other parties may allege that 
Catapult’s products incorporate intellectual property rights 
derived from third parties without their permission. Whilst 
Catapult is not the subject of any claim that its products 
infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party, 
allegations of this kind may be received in the future and, 
if successful, injunctions may be granted against Catapult 
which could materially affect the operation of Catapult and 
Catapult’s ability to earn revenue, and cause disruption 
to Catapult’s services. The defence and prosecution of 
intellectual property rights lawsuits, proceedings, and 
related legal and administrative proceedings are costly 
and time-consuming, and their outcome is uncertain.

In addition to its patent and licensing activities, Catapult 
also relies on protecting its trade secrets. Actions taken by 
Catapult to protect its trade secrets may not be adequate 
and this could erode its competitive advantage in respect 
of such trade secrets. Further, others may independently 
develop similar technologies.

Industry and competition risk

Foreign exchange rates

Catapult operates in Australia and internationally. Currently, 
most of Catapult’s revenues are in US dollars, Euros and 
Australian dollars. However, most of Catapult’s costs are in 
Australian dollars. The mix of currencies in which Catapult 
earns its revenues and incurs its costs are likely to continue 
to change over time.

Adverse movements in foreign currency markets could 
affect Catapult’s profitability and financial position. 
Catapult’s financial statements are prepared and presented 
in Australian dollars, and any appreciation in the Australian 
dollar against other currencies in which Catapult transacts 
may adversely impact its financial performance and 
position. You should refer to Note 32.2 (Market Risk 
Analysis) for more detail.

Product liability

Catapult’s business exposes it to potential product liability 
claims related to the manufacturing, marketing and sale of 
its products. Catapult maintains product liability insurance. 
However to the extent that a claim is brought against 
Catapult that is not covered or fully covered by insurance, 
such claim could have a material adverse effect on the 
business, financial position and results of Catapult. Claims, 
regardless of their merit or potential outcome, may 
adversely impact on Catapult’s business and its future 
growth and profitability.

Litigation

Catapult may in the ordinary course of business be 
involved in possible disputes. These disputes could give 
rise to litigation. While the extent of any disputes and 
litigation cannot be ascertained at this time, any dispute 
or litigation may be costly and may adversely affect the 
operational and financial results of Catapult.

The industry in which Catapult operates is highly 
competitive. Catapult’s performance could be adversely 
affected if existing or new competitors reduce Catapult’s 
market share, or its ability to expand into new segments. 
Catapult’s existing or new competitors may have 
substantially greater resources and access to more 
markets than Catapult.

Competitors may succeed in developing alternative 
products which are more innovative, easier to use or 
more cost effective than those that have been or may be 
developed by Catapult. This may place pricing pressure on 
Catapult’s product offering and may impact on Catapult’s 
ability to retain existing clients, as well as Catapult’s ability 
to attract new clients. If Catapult cannot compete 
successfully, Catapult’s business, operating results 
and financial position could be adversely impacted.

Further product development risk

Catapult has developed its athlete tracking technology and 
products, and continues to invest in further systems and 
product development.

Catapult gives no guarantee that further development 
of its athlete tracking technology and products will be 
successful, that development milestones will be achieved, 
or that Catapult’s intellectual property will be developed 
into further products that are commercially exploitable. 
There are many risks inherent in the development of 
technologies and related products, particularly where the 
products are in the early stages of development. Projects 
can be delayed or fail to demonstrate any benefit, or may 
cease to be viable for a range of reasons, including 
scientific and commercial reasons.

Brand and reputation damage

The brand and reputation of Catapult and its individual 
products are important in retaining and increasing the 
number of clients that utilise Catapult’s technology and 
products and could prevent Catapult from successfully 
implementing its business strategy. Any reputational 
damage or negative publicity surrounding Catapult or its 
products could adversely impact on Catapult’s business 
and its future growth and profitability.

Environmental legislation 

Catapult Group International Ltd operations are not subject to any particular or significant environmental regulation under 
a law of the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory in Australia.

Indemnities given and insurance premiums paid to auditors and officers

During the year, Catapult Group International Ltd paid a premium to insure officers of the Group. The officers of the Group 
covered by the insurance policy include all Directors.

The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought 
against the officers in their capacity as officers of the Group, and any other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the 
officers in connection with such proceedings, other than where such liabilities arise out of conduct involving a wilful breach 
of duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of their position or of information to gain advantage for 
themselves or someone else to cause detriment to the Group. 

Details of the amount of the premium paid in respect of insurance policies are not disclosed as such disclosure is 
prohibited under the terms of the contract. 

The Group has not otherwise, during or since the end of the financial year, except to the extent permitted by law, 
indemnified or agreed to indemnify any current or former officer or auditor of the Group against a liability incurred as such 
by an officer or auditor.

Non-audit services

During the year, Grant Thornton, the Company’s auditors, performed certain other services in addition to their statutory 
audit duties.

The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and is satisfied that the provision 
of those non-audit services during the year is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence 
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the reason the non-audit services do not undermine the general principles 
relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not 
involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the 
Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards.

Details of the amounts paid to the auditors of the Company, Grant Thornton, and its related practices for audit and 
non-audit services provided during the year are set out in Note 26 to the Financial Statements. 

A copy of the Auditor’s Independence Declaration as required under s307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is included 
on page 33 of this financial report and forms part of this Directors’ Report.

Remuneration Report (audited)

The Directors of Catapult Group International Ltd present the Remuneration Report for Non-Executive Directors, Executive 
Directors and other Key Management Personnel, prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the 
Corporations Regulations 2001.

The Remuneration Report is set out under the following main headings:

1  Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

2  Details of remuneration

3  Service agreements

4  Share-based remuneration; and

5  Other information.

1.  Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

The principles of the Group’s executive strategy and supporting incentive programs and frameworks are:

> 

to align rewards to business outcomes that deliver value to shareholders

> 

to drive a high performance culture by setting challenging objectives and rewarding high performing individuals; and

> 

to ensure remuneration is competitive in the relevant employment market place to support the attraction, motivation 
and retention of executive talent.

The Board has established a Nomination and Remuneration Committee which operates in accordance with its charter as 
approved by the Board and is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors 
and the Executive Team.

The remuneration structure that has been adopted by the Group consists of the following components:

> 

fixed remuneration being annual salary; and

>  short term incentives, being employee bonuses.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee assess the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration on 
a periodic basis by reference to recent employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum 
stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and Executive Team.

The payment of bonuses, share options and other incentive payments are reviewed by the Nomination and Remuneration 
Committee annually as part of the review of executive remuneration and a recommendation is put to the Board for 
approval. All bonuses, options and incentives must be linked to pre-determined performance criteria.

28

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2015

Remuneration Report (audited) continued

Short Term Incentive (STI)

The Group’s performance measures involve the use of annual performance objectives, metrics, performance appraisals 
and continuing emphasis on living the Company values.

The performance measures are set annually after consultation with the Directors and executives and are specifically 
tailored to the areas where each executive has a level of control. The measures target areas the Board believes hold the 
greatest potential for expansion and profit and cover financial and non-financial measures.

The Key Performance Indicators (‘KPI’s’) for the Executive Team are summarised as follows:

Performance area:

> 

financial – operating profit and earnings per share; and

>  non-financial – strategic goals set by each individual business unit based on job descriptions.

The STI Program is currently a cash bonus for the Executive Team and other employees.

Remuneration Approval

Catapult Group International Ltd was admitted to the official list of the Australian Securities Exchange on 19 December 
2014 and, as such, there was no requirement prior to this time that a resolution adopting the Company’s remuneration 
report be put to shareholders at an annual general meeting.  The board notes that the remuneration recommendations 
made by the interim Remuneration and Nomination Committee (which were disclosed in the Company’s IPO prospectus) 
were adopted by the board.

Consequences of performance on shareholder wealth

In considering the Group’s performance and benefits for shareholder wealth, the Board have regard to the following indices 
in respect of the current financial year and partial for the previous financial year:

Notes to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements

1.  Nature of operations

Catapult Group International Ltd and subsidiaries (the 
“Group”) principal activities are the development and 
supply of wearable athlete tracking and analytics solutions.

2.  General information and statement 
of compliance

The consolidated general purpose financial statements 
of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the 
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian 
Accounting Standards and other authoritative 
pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards 
Board. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards 
results in full compliance with the International Financial 
Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) as issued by the International 
Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Catapult Group 
International Ltd is a for-profit entity for the purpose of 
preparing the financial statements.

Catapult Group International Ltd (formerly Catapult Group 
International Pty Ltd) is the Group’s Ultimate Parent 
Company. Catapult Group International Ltd is a Public 
Company incorporated and domiciled in Australia and 
listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. The address of its 
registered office and its principal place of business is The 
Clocktower, 1 Aurora Lane, Docklands, Victoria, Australia.

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 
30 June 2015 were approved and authorised for issue by 
the Board of Directors on 10 August 2015. 

3.  Changes in accounting policies

3.1  New and revised standards that are effective 
for these financial statements

A number of new and revised standards and an 
interpretation became effective for the first time to annual 
periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014. Information on 
these new standards is presented below.

AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards – Offsetting Financial Assets and 
Financial Liabilities

AASB 2012-3 adds application guidance to AASB 132 to 
address inconsistencies identified in applying some of the 
offsetting criteria of AASB 132, including clarifying the 
meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right of 
set-off” and that some gross settlement systems may be 
considered equivalent to net settlement.

AASB 2012-3 is applicable to annual reporting periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2014.

The adoption of these amendments has not had any 
impact on the Group as the amendments merely clarify the 
existing requirements in AASB 132 and the Group doesn’t 
apply offsets.

AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable 
Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets

These narrow-scope amendments address disclosure 
of information about the recoverable amount of impaired 
assets if that amount is based on fair value less costs 
of disposal.

When developing IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, the 
IASB decided to amend IAS 36 Impairment of Assets to 
require disclosures about the recoverable amount of 
impaired assets. The IASB noticed however that some of 
the amendments made in introducing those requirements 
resulted in the requirement being more broadly applicable 
than the IASB had intended. These amendments to IAS 36 
therefore clarify the IASB’s original intention that the scope 
of those disclosures is limited to the recoverable amount 
of impaired assets that is based on fair value less costs 
of disposal.

AASB 2013-3 makes the equivalent amendments to 
AASB 136 Impairment of Assets and is applicable to 
annual reporting periods beginning on or after 
1 January 2014.

The adoption of these amendments has not had a material 
impact on the Group as they are largely of the nature of 
clarification of existing requirements.

3.  Changes in accounting policies continued

3.1  New and revised standards that are effective 
for these financial statements continued

>  amend AASB 8 Operating Segments to explicitly 
require the disclosure of judgements made by 
management in applying the aggregation criteria

AASB 2013-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards – Investment Entities

The amendments in AASB 2013-5 provide an exception 
to consolidation to investment entities and require them 
to measure unconsolidated subsidiaries at fair value 
through profit or loss in accordance with AASB 9 Financial 
Instruments (or AASB 139 Financial Instruments: 
Recognition and Measurement where AASB 9 has not 
yet been adopted). The amendments also introduce new 
disclosure requirements for investment entities that 
have subsidiaries.

These amendments apply to investment entities, whose 
business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from 
capital appreciation, investment income or both. Examples 
of entities which might qualify as investment entities would 
include Australian superannuation entities, listed 
investment companies, pooled investment trusts and 
Federal, State and Territory fund management authorities.

AASB 2013-5 is applicable to annual reporting periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2014.

This Standard has not had any impact on the Group as 
it does not meet the definition of an ‘investment entity’ 
in order to apply this consolidation exception.

AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards (Part A: Annual Improvements 2010-2012 
and 2011-2013 Cycles)

Part A of AASB 2014-1 makes amendments to various 
Australian Accounting Standards arising from the issuance 
by the IASB of International Financial Reporting Standards 
Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle and 
Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle.

Among other improvements, the amendments arising from 
Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle:

>  clarify that the definition of a ‘related party’ includes 

a management entity that provides key management 
personnel services to the reporting entity (either directly 
or through a group entity)

Among other improvements, the amendments arising from 
Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle clarify that 
an entity should assess whether an acquired property is an 
investment property under AASB 140 Investment Property 
and perform a separate assessment under AASB 3 
Business Combinations to determine whether the 
acquisition of the investment property constitutes 
a business combination.

Part A of AASB 2014-1 is applicable to annual reporting 
periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014.

The adoption of these amendments has not had a material 
impact on the Group as they are largely of the nature of 
clarification of existing requirements.

3.2  Accounting Standards issued but not yet 
effective and have not been adopted early by 
the Group

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have 
been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2015 
reporting periods, and have not yet been adopted by the 
group. The group’s assessment of the impact of these new 
standards and interpretations is set out below:

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

AASB 15:

> 

replaces AASB 15 Revenue and some  
revenue-related Interpretations

>  establishes a new control-based revenue  

recognition model

>  changes the basis for deciding whether revenue 
is to be recognised over time or at a point in time

>  provides new and more detailed guidance on specific 
topics (e.g., multiple element arrangements, variable 
pricing, rights of return, warranties and licensing)

>  expands and improves disclosures about revenue

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2015

41

The entity is yet to undertake a detailed assessment of 
the impact of AASB 15. However, based on the entity’s 
preliminary assessment, the Standard is not expected to 
have a material impact on the transactions and balances 
recognised in the financial statements when it is first 
adopted for the year ending 30 June 2018.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments (December 2014)

AASB 9 introduces new requirements for the classification 
and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. These 
requirements improve and simplify the approach for 
classification and measurement of financial assets 
compared with the requirements of AASB 139. 

The main changes are:

>  Financial assets that are debt instruments will be 
classified based on: (i) the objective of the entity’s 
business model for managing the financial assets; and 
(ii) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows. 

>  Allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to 
present gains and losses on investments in equity 
instruments that are not held for trading in other 
comprehensive income (instead of in profit or loss). 
Dividends in respect of these investments that are a 
return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss 
and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of 
the instrument. 

> 

Introduces a ‘fair value through other comprehensive 
income’ measurement category for particular simple 
debt instruments. 

>  Financial assets can be designated and measured at 
fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition if 
doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a 
measurement or recognition inconsistency that would 
arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising 
the gains and losses on them, on different bases.

>  Where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities 
the change in fair value is to be accounted for as follows:

– 

– 

– 

the change attributable to changes in credit risk are 
presented in Other Comprehensive Income (‘OCI’)

the remaining change is presented in profit or loss

If this approach creates or enlarges an accounting 
mismatch in the profit or loss, the effect of the 
changes in credit risk are also presented in profit or 
loss. Otherwise, the following requirements have 
generally been carried forward unchanged from 
AASB 139 into AASB 9: 

–  classification and measurement of financial 

liabilities; and

–  derecognition requirements for financial assets 

and liabilities.

AASB 9 requirements regarding hedge accounting 
represent a substantial overhaul of hedge accounting that 
enable entities to better reflect their risk management 
activities in the financial statements. Furthermore, AASB 9 
introduces a new impairment model based on expected 
credit losses. This model makes use of more forward-
looking information and applies to all financial instruments 
that are subject to impairment accounting.

The entity is yet to undertake a detailed assessment of 
the impact of AASB 9. However, based on the entity’s 
preliminary assessment, the Standard is not expected to 
have a material impact on the transactions and balances 
recognised in the financial statements when it is first 
adopted for the year ending 30 June 2019.

AASB 2014-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards – Clarification of Acceptable Methods of 
Depreciation and Amortisation

The amendments to AASB 116 prohibit the use of a 
revenue-based depreciation method for property, plant and 
equipment. Additionally, the amendments provide guidance 
in the application of the diminishing balance method for 
property, plant and equipment.

The amendments to AASB 116 present a rebuttable 
presumption that a revenue-based amortisation method 
for intangible assets is inappropriate. This rebuttable

Standards – Clarification of Acceptable Methods of 
Depreciation and Amortisation continued

presumption can be overcome (i.e. a revenue-based 
amortisation method might be appropriate) only in two 
limited circumstances:

> 

the intangible asset is expressed as a measure of 
revenue, for example when the predominant limiting 
factor inherent in an intangible asset is the achievement 
of a revenue threshold (for instance, the right to operate 
a toll road could be based on a fixed total amount of 
revenue to be generated from cumulative tolls 
charged); or

and losses on transactions between Group companies. 
Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are 
reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also 
tested for impairment from a group perspective. Amounts 
reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have 
been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency 
with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of 
subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are 
recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to 
the effective date of disposal, as applicable.

Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, 
represent the portion of a subsidiary’s profit or loss and net 
assets that is not held by the Group. The Group attributes 
total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries 
between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling 
interests based on their respective ownership interests.

>  when it can be demonstrated that revenue and the 

4.3  Business combination

consumption of the economic benefits of the intangible 
asset are highly correlated.

When these amendments are first adopted for the year 
ending 30 June 2017, there will be no material impact 
on the transactions and balances recognised in the 
financial statements.

4.  Summary of accounting policies

4.1  Overall considerations

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared 
using the significant accounting policies and measurement 
bases summarised below.

4.2  Basis of consolidation

The Group financial statements consolidate those of the 
Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 30 June 
2015. The Parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, 
or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with 
the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns 
through its power over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have 
a reporting date of 30 June.

All transactions and balances between Group companies 
are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains 

The Group applies the acquisition method in accounting for 
business combinations. The consideration transferred by 
the Group to obtain control of a subsidiary is calculated as 
the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets 
transferred, liabilities incurred and the equity interests 
issued by the Group, which includes the fair value of any 
asset or liability arising from a contingent consideration 
arrangement. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

The Group recognises identifiable assets acquired and 
liabilities assumed in a business combination regardless 
of whether they have been previously recognised in the 
acquiree’s financial statements prior to the acquisition. 
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are generally 
measured at their acquisition-date fair values. 

Goodwill is stated after separate recognition of identifiable 
intangible assets. It is calculated as the excess of the sum 
of (a) fair value of consideration transferred, (b) the 
recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in the 
acquire, and (c) acquisition-date fair value of any existing 
equity interest in the acquiree, over the acquisition-date 
fair values of identifiable net assets. If the fair values of 
identifiable net assets exceed the sum calculated above, 
the excess amount (i.e. gain on a bargain purchase) is 
recognised in profit or loss immediately.

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2015

4.4  Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency

The consolidated financial statements are presented in 
Australian dollars (‘AUD’), which is also the functional 
currency of the Parent Company.

Foreign currency transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the 
functional currency of the respective Group entity, 
using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the 
transactions (spot exchange rate). Foreign exchange 
gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such 
transactions and from the re-measurement of monetary 
items at year end exchange rates are recognised in 
profit or loss.

Non-monetary items are not retranslated at year-end 
and are measured at historical cost (translated using the 
exchange rates at the date of the transaction), except for 
non-monetary items measured at fair value which are 
translated using the exchange rates at the date when 
fair value was determined.

Foreign operations

In the Group’s financial statements, all assets, liabilities 
and transactions of Group entities with a functional 
currency other than the AUD are translated into AUD 
upon consolidation. The functional currency of the entities 
in the Group has remained unchanged during the 
reporting period.

On consolidation, assets and liabilities have been 
translated into $AUD at the closing rate at the reporting 
date. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the 
acquisition of a foreign entity have been treated as assets 
and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated into $AUD 
at the closing rate. Income and expenses have been 
translated into AUD at the average rate over the reporting 
period. Exchange differences are charged or credited to 
other comprehensive income and recognised in the 
currency translation reserve in equity. On disposal of a 
foreign operation the cumulative translation differences 
recognised in equity are reclassified to profit or loss and 
recognised as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

4.5  Revenue

Revenue arises from the sale of goods and the rendering 
of services it is measured by reference to the fair value of 
consideration received or receivable, excluding sales taxes, 
rebates, and trade discounts.

The Group enters into sales transactions involving either 
an outright sale to the client or on a subscription basis. 
The Group applies the revenue recognition criteria set out 
below to each separately identifiable component of the 
sales transaction in order to reflect the substance of 
the transaction.

Outright Sale of goods

Outright sale of goods is recognised when the Group has 
transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards 
of ownership, generally when the customer has taken 
undisputed delivery of the goods.

Subscription sale

The Group generates revenues from subscription sales and 
once the customer has taken undisputed delivery of the 
goods, the revenue from the subscription agreement is 
recognised on a monthly basis, equal amounts for each 
month of the subscription agreement.

In recognising subscription sales revenues, the Group 
considers the nature of the term of the agreement and 
the useful life of the goods being provided under the 
subscription agreement.

Interest and dividend income

Interest income and expenses are reported on an accrual 
basis using the effective interest method. Dividends, other 
than those from investments in associates, are recognised 
at the time the right to receive payment is established.

4.6  Operating expenses

Operating expenses are recognised in profit or loss upon 
utilisation of the service or at the date of their origin. 
Expenditure for warranties is recognised and charged 
against the associated provision when the related revenue 
is recognised.

the Group has the ability to use or sell the software; and

4.7  Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, 
construction or production of a qualifying asset are 
capitalised during the period of time that is necessary to 
complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or 
sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period 
in which they are incurred and reported in finance costs 
(see Note 23).

4.8  Goodwill 

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising 
from a business combination that are not individually 
identified and separately recognised. See Note 4.3 for 
information on how goodwill is initially determined. Goodwill 
is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. 
Refer to Note 14.1 for a description of impairment 
testing procedures.

4.9  Other intangible assets
Recognition of other intangible assets
Acquired intangible assets

Acquired computer software licences are capitalised 
on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and install 
the specific software. Brand names and customer lists 
acquired in a business combination that qualify for 
separate recognition are recognised as intangible assets 
at their fair values (see Note 4.3).

Internally developed software

> 

the software will generate probable future economic 
benefits

Development costs not meeting these criteria for 
capitalisation are expensed as incurred.

Directly attributable costs include employee, costs, 
incurred on software development, along with an 
appropriate portion of relevant overheads.

Internally developed hardware

Expenditure on the research phase of projects to develop 
new hardware for athlete tracking and analytic analysis is 
recognised as an expense as incurred.

Costs that are directly attributable to a project’s 
development phase are recognised as intangible assets, 
provided they meet the following recognition requirements:

> 

the development costs can be measured reliably

> 

the project is technically and commercially feasible

> 

> 

> 

the Group intends to and has sufficient resources 
to complete the project

the Group has the ability to use or sell the 
hardware; and

the hardware will generate probable future 
economic benefits

Development costs not meeting these criteria for 
capitalisation are expensed as incurred.

Expenditure on the research phase of projects to develop 
new customised software for athlete tracking and analytic 
analysis is recognised as an expense as incurred.

Directly attributable costs include employee, costs, 
incurred on software development, along with an 
appropriate portion of relevant overheads.

Costs that are directly attributable to a project’s 
development phase are recognised as intangible assets, 
provided they meet the following recognition requirements:

> 

the development costs can be measured reliably

> 

the project is technically and commercially feasible

> 

the Group intends to and has sufficient resources 
to complete the project

Subsequent measurement

All intangible assets, including capitalised internally 
developed software and hardware, are accounted for using 
the cost model whereby capitalised costs are amortised on 
a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as these 
assets are considered finite. Residual values and useful lives 
are reviewed at each reporting date. In addition, they are 
subject to impairment testing as described in Note 4.12.

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2015

45

The following useful lives are applied:

>  Software (licenses and internally developed): 5 years, 
except with regard to identified projects with 2 years 

>  brand names: annually assessed by management 

for impairment 

>  customer lists: 10 years

>  hardware: 3 years

>  distributor relationships: 10 years

>  distributor contracts: 10 years

>  goodwill: annually assessed by management 

for impairment

Amortisation has been included within depreciation, 
amortisation and impairment of non-financial assets.

Subsequent expenditures on the maintenance of computer 
software and brand names are expensed as incurred.

When an intangible asset is disposed of, the gain or loss 
on disposal is determined as the difference between the 
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, and is 
recognised in profit or loss within other income or 
other expenses.

4.10  Property, plant and equipment
Plant, IT equipment and other equipment

Plant, IT equipment and other equipment (comprising 
fittings and furniture) are initially recognised at acquisition 
cost or manufacturing cost, including any costs directly 
attributable to bringing the assets to the location and 
condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in 
the manner intended by the Group’s management. Plant, 
IT equipment and other equipment are subsequently 
measured using the cost model, cost less subsequent 
precaution and impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised on a diminishing-value basis to 
write down the cost less estimated residual value of Plant 
buildings, IT equipment and other equipment. The following 
useful lives are applied: 

>  plant: 3-10 years

>  office equipment: 3-20 years

> 

fixture and fittings: 20 years

>  other equipment: 2-7 years

>  property improvements: 7 years

In the case of leasehold property, expected useful lives are 
determined by reference to comparable owned assets or 
over the term of the lease, if shorter.

Material residual value estimates and estimates of useful 
life are updated as required, but at least annually. 

Gains or losses arising on the disposal of property, plant 
and equipment are determined as the difference between 
the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the 
assets and are recognised in profit or loss within other 
income or other expenses.

4.11  Leased assets
Operating leases

All other leases are treated as operating leases. Where 
the Group is a lessee, payments on operating lease 
agreements are recognised as an expense on a straight-
line basis over the lease term. Associated costs, such as 
maintenance and insurance, are expensed as incurred.

4.12  Impairment testing of goodwill, other intangible 
assets and property, plant and equipment

For impairment assessment purposes, assets are grouped 
at the lowest levels for which there are largely independent 
cash inflows (cash-generating units). As a result, some 
assets are tested individually for impairment and some are 
tested at cash-generating unit level. Goodwill is allocated to 
those cash-generating units that are expected to benefit 
from synergies of the related business combination and 
represent the lowest level within the Group at which 
management monitors goodwill.

4.  Summary of accounting policies continued

4.12  Impairment testing of goodwill, other intangible 
assets and property, plant and equipment continued

which are measured initially at fair value. Subsequent 
measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities 
are described below.

Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been 
allocated (determined by the Group’s management as 
equivalent to its operating segments) are tested for 
impairment at least annually. All other individual assets or 
cash-generating units are tested 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 or cash-generating unit’s carrying amount 
exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair 
value less costs to sell and value-in-use. To determine the 
value-in-use, management estimates expected future cash 
flows from each cash-generating unit and determines a 
suitable interest rate in order to calculate the present value 
of those cash flows. The data used for impairment testing 
procedures are directly linked to the Group’s latest 
approved budget, adjusted as necessary to exclude the 
effects of future reorganisations and asset enhancements. 
Discount factors are determined individually for each 
cash-generating unit and reflect management’s 
assessment of respective risk profiles, such as market 
and asset-specific risks factors.

Impairment losses for cash-generating units reduce first 
the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to that 
cash-generating unit. Any remaining impairment loss is 
charged pro rata to the other assets in the cash-generating 
unit. With the exception of goodwill, all assets are 
subsequently reassessed for indications that an 
impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist. 
An impairment charge is reversed if the cash-generating 
unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount. 

4.13  Financial instruments
Recognition, Initial Measurement and De-recognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised 
when the Group becomes a party to the contractual 
provisions of the financial instrument, and are measured 
initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, except 
for those carried at fair value through profit or loss, 

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual 
rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, 
or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and 
rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised 
when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

Classification and Subsequent Measurement 
of Financial Assets

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial 
assets other than those designated and effective as 
hedging instruments are classified into the following 
categories upon initial recognition: 

>  Loans and receivables

>  Financial assets at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss 

(‘FVTPL’)

>  Held-To-Maturity (‘HTM’) investments; or

>  Available-For-Sale (‘AFS’) financial assets

All financial assets except for those at FVTPL are subject 
to review for impairment at least at each reporting date to 
identify whether there is any objective evidence that a financial 
asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Different 
criteria to determine impairment are applied for each 
category of financial assets, which are described below. 

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that 
are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance 
costs, finance income or other financial items, except for 
impairment of trade receivables which is presented within 
other expenses. 

Loans and Receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets 
with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted 
in an active market. After initial recognition, these are 
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest 
method, less provision for impairment. Discounting is 
omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The 
Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other 
receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2015

47

Individually significant receivables are considered for 
impairment when they are past due or when other 
objective evidence is received that a specific counterparty 
will default. Receivables that are not considered to be 
individually impaired are reviewed for impairment in groups, 
which are determined by reference to the industry and 
region of a counterparty and other shared credit risk 
characteristics. The impairment loss estimate is then based 
on recent historical counterparty default rates for each 
identified group.

Classification and subsequent measurement 
of financial liabilities

The Group’s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade 
and other payables and derivative financial instruments.

Financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised 
cost using the effective interest method, except for financial 
liabilities held for trading or designated at FVTPL, that are 
carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses 
recognised in profit or loss. All derivative financial 
instruments that are not designated and effective as 
hedging instruments are accounted for at FVTPL.

Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

Derivative financial instruments are accounted for at FVTPL 
except for derivatives designated as hedging instruments in 
cash flow hedge relationships, which requires a specific 
accounting treatment. 

4.14  Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable 
value. Cost includes all expenses directly attributable to 
the manufacturing process as well as suitable portions of 
related production overheads, based on normal operating 
capacity. Costs of ordinarily interchangeable items are 
assigned using the first in, first out cost formula. Net 
realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary 
course of business less any applicable selling expenses. 

4.15  Income taxes

Tax expense recognised in profit or loss comprises the 
sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognised in other 
comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those 
obligations to, or claims from, the Australian Taxation Office 
(‘ATO’) and other fiscal authorities relating to the current or 
prior reporting periods that are unpaid at the reporting 
date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs 
from profit or loss in the financial statements. Calculation of 
current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have 
been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the 
reporting period. 

Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability 
method on temporary differences between the carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. 
However, deferred tax is not provided on the initial 
recognition of goodwill or on the initial recognition of an 
asset or liability unless the related transaction is a business 
combination or affects tax or accounting profit. Deferred 
tax on temporary differences associated with investments 
in subsidiaries and joint ventures is not provided if reversal 
of these temporary differences can be controlled by the 
Group and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the 
foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without 
discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their 
respective period of realisation, provided they are enacted 
or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. 

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it 
is probable that they will be able to be utilised against 
future taxable income, based on the Group’s forecast of 
future operating results which is adjusted for significant 
non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits to the 
use of any unused tax loss or credit. Deferred tax liabilities 
are always provided for in full. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the 
Group has a right and intention to set off current tax assets 
and liabilities from the same taxation authority.

Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised 
as a component of tax income or expense in profit or loss, 
except where they relate to items that are recognised in 
other comprehensive income (such as the revaluation of 
land) or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred 
tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or 
equity, respectively.

Short-term Employee Benefits

4.15  Income taxes continued

Catapult Group International Ltd and its wholly-owned 
Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax 
consolidation legislation. As a consequence, these entities 
are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and 
liabilities of these entities are set off in the consolidated 
financial statements.

4.16  Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and 
demand deposits, together with other short-term, highly 
liquid investments that are readily convertible into known 
amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant 
risk of changes in value. 

4.17  Equity, reserves and dividend payments

Share capital represents the fair value of shares that have 
been issued. Any transaction costs associated with the 
issuing of shares are deducted from share capital, net of 
any related income tax benefits. 

Other components of equity include the following:

> 

foreign currency translation reserve – comprises 
foreign currency translation differences arising on the 
translation of financial statements of the Group’s foreign 
entities into AUD (see Note 4.4)

>  share option reserve – comprises the grant date fair 

value of options issued but not exercised.

Retained earnings include all current and prior period 
retained profits.

Dividend distributions payable to equity shareholders are 
included in other liabilities when the dividends have been 
approved in a general meeting prior to the reporting date.

All transactions with owners of the parent are recorded 
separately within equity.

4.18  Post-employment benefits and short-term 
employee benefits
Post-employment Benefit Plans

The Group provides post-employment benefits through 
defined contribution plans.

Short-term employee benefits are current liabilities included 
in employee benefits, measured at the undiscounted 
amount that the Group expects to pay as a result of the 
unused entitlement. Annual leave is included in ‘other 
long-term benefit’ and discounted when calculating the 
leave liability as the Group does not expect all annual leave 
for all employees to be used wholly within 12 months of the 
end of reporting period. Annual leave liability is still 
presented as current liability for presentation purposes 
under AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements.

4.19  Share-based employee remuneration

The Group operates equity-settled share-based 
remuneration plans for its employees. None of the Group’s 
plans feature any options for a cash settlement.

All goods and services received in exchange for the grant 
of any share-based payment are measured at their fair 
values. Where employees are rewarded using share-based 
payments, the fair values of employees’ services are 
determined indirectly by reference to the fair value of the 
equity instruments granted. This fair value is appraised at 
the grant date and excludes the impact of non-market 
vesting conditions (for example performance conditions).

All share-based remuneration is ultimately recognised as 
an expense in profit or loss with a corresponding credit to 
share option reserve. If vesting periods or other vesting 
conditions apply, the expense is allocated over the vesting 
period, based on the best available estimate of the number 
of share options expected to vest.

Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions 
about the number of options that are expected to become 
exercisable. Estimates are subsequently revised if there is 
any indication that the number of share options expected 
to vest differs from previous estimates. Any cumulative 
adjustment prior to vesting is recognised in the current 
period. No adjustment is made to any expense recognised 
in prior periods if share options ultimately exercised are 
different to that estimated on vesting.

Upon exercise of share options, the proceeds received net 
of any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated 
to share capital.

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2015

4.20  Provisions, contingent liabilities and 
contingent assets

Provisions for product warranties, legal disputes, onerous 
contracts or other claims are recognised when the Group 
has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of 
a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic 
resources will be required from the Group and amounts 
can be estimated reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow 
may still be uncertain.

Restructuring provisions are recognised only if a detailed 
formal plan for the restructuring has been developed and 
implemented, or management has at least announced the 
plan’s main features to those affected by it. Provisions are 
not recognised for future operating losses.

Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure 
required to settle the present obligation, based on the most 
reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including 
the risks and uncertainties associated with the present 
obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, 
the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement 
is determined by considering the class of obligations as a 
whole. Provisions are discounted to their present values, 
where the time value of money is material.

Any reimbursement that the Group can be virtually certain 
to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is 
recognised as a separate asset. However, this asset may 
not exceed the amount of the related provision.

No liability is recognised if an outflow of economic 
resources as a result of present obligation is not probable. 
Such situations are disclosed as contingent liabilities, 
unless the outflow of resources is remote in which case no 
liability is recognised.

4.21  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 Tax 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 statement of 
financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on 
a gross basis, except for the GST components of investing 
and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating 
cash flows.

4.22  Significant management judgement in applying 
accounting policies

When preparing the financial statements, management 
undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and 
assumptions about the recognition and measurement 
of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

Significant management judgement

The following are significant management judgements in 
applying the accounting policies of the Group that have the 
most significant effect on the financial statements.

Recognition of subscription revenue and rental units

Determining when to recognise revenues from subscription 
agreements requires an understanding of the customer’s 
use and the useful life of the products, historical experience 
and knowledge of the market. The company provides GPS 
tracking units for team sports under both an up-front sales 
model and a subscription model. Under the subscription 
model, the customer has the right to use the GPS tracking 
units for the period of the subscription, however must 
return the unit to the Group at the end of the subscription 
period. Management have considered various factors 
under AASB 117 Leases as to whether a component of the 
subscription agreements represents a finance or operating 
lease. As the GPS tracking units have for the majority of 
subscription contracts have a subscription period no more 
than 75% of the useful life of the units, this component of 
the subscription agreements has been considered an 
operating lease with the Group as lessor. As such, those 
GPS tracking units provided under subscription 
agreements have been capitalised as ‘Rental Units’ under 
property, plant and equipment and are amortised over their 
estimated useful life. 

All revenue under subscription sales is therefore 
recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the 
subscription period, reflecting management’s best estimate 
of the delivery of services and provision of the rental units 
over the term of the agreements.

Business combinations 

4.22  Significant management judgement in applying 
accounting policies continued

Significant management judgement continued

Recognition of deferred tax assets 

The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised 
is based on an assessment of the probability of the 
Group’s future taxable income against which the deferred 
tax assets can be utilised, as described in note 16. In 
addition, significant judgement is required in assessing the 
impact of any legal or economic limits or uncertainties in 
various tax jurisdictions.

Estimation uncertainty 

Information about estimates and assumptions that have the 
most significant effect on recognition and measurement of 
assets, liabilities, income and expenses is provided below. 
Actual results may be substantially different.

Impairment 

In assessing impairment, management estimates the 
recoverable amount of each asset or cash-generating unit 
based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest 
rate to discount them. Estimation uncertainty relates to 
assumptions about future operating results and the 
determination of a suitable discount rate (see Note 4.12). 

Useful lives of depreciable assets

Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of 
depreciable assets at each reporting date, based on the 
expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these 
estimates relate to technical obsolescence that may 
change the utility of certain software and IT equipment.

Inventories 

Management estimates the net realisable values of 
inventories, taking into account the most reliable evidence 
available at each reporting date. The future realisation of 
these inventories may be affected by future technology or 
other market-driven changes that may reduce future 
selling prices.

Management uses valuation techniques in determining 
the fair values of the various elements of a business 
combination (see Note 4.3). Particularly, the fair value of 
contingent consideration is dependent on the outcome of 
many variables that affect future profitability (see Note 5).

4.23  Going concern 

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis 
that the consolidated entity is a going concern, which 
assumes continuity of normal business activities and the 
realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the 
ordinary course of business.

The consolidated group incurred a loss after tax of 
$4,309,230 and had cash outflows from operations of 
$4,048,568.

Notwithstanding this, the directors are of the view that 
the going concern principle is appropriate due to the 
following factors:

>  The consolidated entity has continued to successfully 
secure sale arrangements with many leading sporting 
organisations across the world for which revenues and 
cash inflows will be recognised in future reporting 
periods; and

>  The business has put in place appropriate staffing 

globally to execute the initial growth strategy outlined in 
the IPO.

5.  Acquisitions and disposals

The Group had no acquisitions or disposals of business’s 
or business units during the period.

During the year, the Group paid $2,386,892 as 
consideration for the acquisition of GPSports which was 
acquired in the prior year.

This amount includes the contingent consideration of 
$275,000, being paid in full, based on the successful 
retention of key employees.

All depreciation and impairment charges are included within depreciation and amortisation expense. The group wrote back 
$860,879 worth of rental units which had been fully depreciated and subsequently upgraded to the new device under 
Catapult’s subscription agreements. There were no material contractual commitments to acquire property, plant and 
equipment at 30 June 2015 (2014: None).

The recoverable amounts of the cash-generating units were determined based on value-in-use calculations, covering 
detailed five-year forecast, followed by an extrapolation of expected cash flows for the units remaining useful lives using the 
growth rates determined by management. The present value of the expected cash flows of each segment is determined by 
applying a suitable discount rate.

The deferred gain relates to the lease incentive associated with Aurora Lane premises commencing March, 2014. The 
excess of proceeds received over fair value was deferred and is being amortised over the lease term of 4 years. In 2015, 
deferred income of $58,188 (2014: $13,985) was recognised in profit or loss relating to this transaction. The subsequent 
leasing agreement is treated as an operating lease. The non-current part of the deferred gain will be amortised between 
2015 and the end of the lease term.

All amounts recognised relating to deferred income are assessed for current versus non-current classification and are 
applied to revenue as recognised in relation to the timing of the client contract. The Group expects to recognise $4,825,078 
of deferred income during 2015 (2014: $1,842,718), and from non-current deferred income $249,026 (2014: $118,375) 
during 2017 and $27,126 during 2018, with the balance in subsequent years.

Catapult has established an Employee Share Plan (Employee Plan) to assist in the motivation, retention and reward 
of executives and employees. The Employee Plan is designed to align the interests of employees with the interests of 
Shareholders by providing an opportunity for eligible employees (including any person who is a full-time or permanent 
part-time employee or officer, or director of Catapult or any related body corporate of Catapult) to receive an equity 
interest in Catapult through the granting of Options, Performance Rights or other Awards.

The Shares held by the Employee Plan Trustee are Restricted Securities such that the Employee Plan Trustee is not able 
to dispose of them within 24 months of Official Quotation.

In addition, participants in this program have to be employed until the end of the agreed vesting period. Upon vesting each 
option, excluding those identified for Key Management Personnel has an exercise price equivalent to the Groups IPO price.

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit and equity in regards to the Group’s financial assets and financial 
liabilities and the various exchange rates ‘all other things are equal’. It assumes a +/– 10% change of the various exchange

32.3  Credit risk analysis

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Group. The Group is exposed to this risk for 
receivables to customers. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets 
recognised at the reporting date, as summarised below:

Classes of financial assets

Carrying amounts:

Cash and cash equivalents

Trade receivables

3,754,202

4,104,462

1,376,292

9,776,976

5,130,494

The Group continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either individually or by group, 
and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. Where available at reasonable cost, external credit ratings 
and/or reports on customers and other counterparties are obtained and used. The Group’s policy is to deal only with 
creditworthy counterparties.

The Group’s management considers that all of the above financial assets that are not impaired or past due for each of 
the 30 June reporting dates under review are of good credit quality.

At 30 June the Group has certain trade receivables that have not been settled by the contractual due date but are not 
considered to be impaired. The amounts at 30 June, analysed by the length of time past due, are:

Not more than three (3) months

More than three (3) months but not more than six (6) months

More than six (6)months but not more than one (1) year

More than one (1) year

In respect of trade and other receivables, the Group is not exposed to any significant credit risk exposure to any single 
counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. Trade receivables consist of a large number 
of customers in various sports and geographical areas. Based on historical information about customer default rates 
management consider the credit quality of trade receivables that are not past due or impaired to be good.

The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks 
with high quality external credit ratings.

32.4  Liquidity risk analysis

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group might be unable to meet its obligations. The Group manages its liquidity needs 
by monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as forecast cash inflows and 
outflows due in day-to-day business. Liquidity needs are monitored on a week-to-week basis, as well as on the basis 
of a rolling 90-day projection.

33.  Fair value measurement

33.1  Fair value measurement of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into three 
Levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three Levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to the 
measurement, as follows:

> 

> 

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 or indirectly

> 

level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

Measurement of fair value of financial instruments

The Group’s finance team performs valuations of financial items for financial reporting purposes, including Level 3 fair 
values, in consultation with third party valuation specialists for complex valuations. Valuation techniques are selected based 
on the characteristics of each instrument, with the overall objective of maximising the use of market-based information. 
Valuation processes and fair value changes are discussed among the Board at least every year, in line with the Group’s 
reporting dates. The valuation techniques used for instruments categorised in Level 3 is described below:

Auditor’s responsibility 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit.  We 
conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.  Those standards 
require us to comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and 
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is 
free from material misstatement.  

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and 
disclosures in the financial report.  The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s 
judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial 
report, whether due to fraud or error.  

In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the 
Company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to 
design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose 
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.  An audit 
also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the 
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the 
overall presentation of the financial report. 

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

Independence 
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001.
