Chairman’s and  
CEO’s Letter

On behalf of your Board of Directors 
I am pleased to present to Catapult 
Group’s shareholders our Annual 
Report for the financial year ending 
30 June 2016. In this, our second  
year of being a public listed company, 
we are proud to have delivered 
another outstanding year of growth, 
both financially and operationally, 
producing a 196% total return to 
our shareholders over the period, 
significantly outperforming the 
broader market. 

FY16 result exceeded management guidance

On 10 August 2015, management set initial guidance for 
FY16 unit orders at 30-40% above our FY15 result of 5,115 
units. This guidance was subsequently upgraded on 24 
November 2015 to a minimum 8,000 units ordered, or 
more than 56% higher than Catapult’s FY15 result. At that 
time we forecast the upgraded unit guidance would deliver 
$24.5 million in total contract value (TCV) for FY16, a key 
growth metric for Catapult. 

Catapult’s FY16 result was significantly higher than our 
upgraded guidance, with units ordered up 63% on FY15 to 
8,354 units and total contract value (TCV) up 74% on FY15 
to $29.4 million. This was an exceptional result for the 
financial year and highlights the significant progress we 
have made towards increasing our elite market penetration 
globally – one of the four key long term goals set out in 
Catapult’s IPO Prospectus.

Subscription business now dominates

Another of Catapult’s long term strategic goals is to a build 
a stable, long-term recurring revenue base from subscription 
contracts. Although Catapult only commenced its 
subscription model in FY13, the preference of elite teams  
for subscription over capital sales has been remarkable, 

particularly in the USA. Notably, FY16 marks the first time 
that subscription revenue exceeded capital sales revenue. 

Furthermore, it is important to note that while Catapult 
recorded an impressive 59% increase in total income in 
FY16 to $18.7 million, growth in our annualised recurring 
revenue (ARR) in FY16 was even stronger, up 84% to  
$13.5 million as at 30 June 2016. This provides Catapult 
with a strong foundation to build on into FY17, and it is 
important to note that subscription sales recorded late  
in the financial year will more significantly impact revenue  
in FY17 rather than in FY16.

ARR is one of the fundamental metrics for assessing the 
performance of Catapult. Significantly we saw strong 
growth in every region – including in Australia, which has 
been viewed as a relatively mature market. This reinforces 
our view that we are still early in the growth curve of what 
we believe is a large yet mostly unpenetrated global market 
for elite wearable analytics. 

It is also pleasing to see that many of our longer-term 
clients, who are now entering the annual auto-renewal 
phase of their subscriptions, are instead choosing to sign 
new long-term subscriptions. This is an extremely pleasing 
development, not simply because it strengthens our 
recurring revenue base, but also because it demonstrates 
how integral Catapult’s wearable analytics has become  
to clubs’ performance requirements. 

Accelerated expansion of sales platform and 
focus on league-wide deals

A key driver of the success in our FY16 sales was the 
significant investment made in expanding our global sales 
and marketing platform during FY15. On 26 November 
2016, Catapult announced it had raised approximately  
$6m to further accelerate the expansion of its sales team. 
This expansion saw employee numbers grow from 76  
to 118 people (excluding acquisitions) in FY16. Despite this 
increased investment in personnel, strong management 
has ensured that the ratio of “sales to employee costs” 
continued to rise in FY16. 

Catapult has also succeeded in adding several key senior 
executives to its management team, with a specific focus  
on securing potential league-wide deals with elite sporting 

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2016

3

leagues around the world. In FY16 Catapult signed four 
league-wide deals, with the Australian Football League  
(AFL), Australian Rugby Union (ARU), US Women’s Soccer 
League and Cricket Australia. These deals were the first  
of their kind in the world as they involved a long-term 
partnership between Catapult and each league, and they 
show enormous promise for what lies ahead for the industry.

Strategic acquisitions to fuel further expansion

Catapult has made significant progress in its other two 
long term goals culminating in two strategic acquisitions 
announced simultaneously on 13 July 2016. The first,  
XOS Technologies, Inc., is the US-based market leader  
in providing innovative digital and video analytic software  
solutions to elite sports teams in the United States.  
The second, PLAYERTEK, is the UK-based leading 
developer of wearable analytics software solutions  
for the prosumer market.

The financial impact alone of the XOS acquisition is 
significant, bolstering our balance sheet, earnings and cash 
flow, as well as delivering many cross-selling opportunities. 
At a strategic level the acquisition is even more significant 
and brings together the global leader in wearable analytics 
(Catapult) with the US-dominant video analytics technology 
(XOS). Wearables and video are the two key performance 
technology pillars in elite sporting club environments. It 
therefore also puts Catapult in a unique position to pioneer 
the development of next-generation products for elite sports 
that integrate both player performance data analytics and 
video analytics. This is hugely exciting and has the potential 
to reshape performance technology at the elite team level.

The PLAYERTEK acquisition has a different focus and 
delivers a proven, commercialised, low-cost solution that 
will form a key part of Catapult’s growth into the global 
sub-elite market. This includes junior clubs, as well  
as sub-elite and semi-professional athletes. Catapult 
estimates that the addressable market opportunity in this 
sub-elite category is between 10 and 20 times larger than 
the elite teams market that are Catapult’s current business.

The acquisitions were funded via an equity raising 
launched on 13 July 2016, raising approximately A$100m 
at A$3.00 a share. The equity raising was extremely well 
supported by existing institutional and retail investors, and 

allowed for new institutional investors to join the register. 
We welcome all new shareholders to Catapult in FY16 and 
thank you for your support.

Strong FY17 outlook

We look forward to another year of significant 
achievements for Catapult in FY17. Overall Catapult 
remains committed to its core strategic goals and with  
a strong sales pipeline in place, the company expects  
to record another strong year of growth in units ordered  
in FY17. Revenue growth would be supported by the 
compounding effect of the subscription business secured 
in FY16, which locks in $13.5m of subscription revenue 
(ARR) for FY17 as a starting point.

We continue to see growing demand for long-term 
subscriptions amongst elite and professional clubs globally. 
Our ability to capture this demand whilst maintaining strong 
ARPU has been a key driver to a much higher TCV and mix 
of subscription units than expected, including via league 
level contracts.

It is difficult to overstate the strategic importance of the 
XOS and PLAYERTEK transactions. They are genuinely 
transformative for our business and will cement our global 
leadership in player data analytics for team sports across 
both elite and prosumer categories. Furthermore, the 
acquisitions will enhance Catapult’s current sales and 
product development footprint, with the addition of 95 
highly qualified and experienced personnel primarily  
across sales and R&D.

We would like to thanks our shareholders, customers and 
all our catapult staff for continuing to embrace our vision, 
sharing our confidence and supporting our efforts this 
year. We look forward to celebrating many more significant 
achievements with you in FY16 and beyond.

Acquisitions

On 13 July 2016, Catapult agreed to acquire 100%  
of XOS Technologies, Inc, a Delaware incorporated 
company (“XOS”), for US$60m (“XOS Acquisition”).

Founded in 1999, XOS introduced the first digital  
coaching system to the professional sports market.  
As at 30 June 2016, XOS had an extensive customer  
base of >400 sports organisations with a current focus  
on Pro and NCAA Division 1 sports including: 

>  24 of 32 NFL teams

>  100+ NCAA Division 1 football programs,  
and all SEC, Big 10 and Pac 12 teams 

>  21 of 30 NHL teams

>  50+ NCAA Division 1 hockey programs 

>  70+ NCAA Division 1 basketball programs 

XOS has a highly engaged and loyal customer base  
with average relationship tenure greater than 7 years  
and renewal rates greater than 101% on a revenue basis

The acquisition of XOS is highly compelling as it:

>  Brings together leaders of wearable and video 
technology, the 2 key technology pillars in elite  
club environments

>  Strengthens Catapult’s strategic positioning and 
operational platform to accelerate its expansion  
globally and generate significant potential synergies

>  Enables Catapult to pioneer the development of next 
generation products for elite sports which integrate 
player performance data analytics with video analytics

>  Substantially accretive to Catapult’s total revenues, 
recurring revenue base and EBITDA (pre-synergies)  
and will accelerate Catapult’s transition to positive 
EBITDA and free cash flow in FY171

PLAYERTEK has developed wearable analytics  
products primarily targeted at amateur footballers  
and clubs/organisations. Over 140 teams in Europe  
have adopted PLAYERTEK’s products since they were  
commercially launched in June 2015. 

PLAYERTEK is expected to have an immaterial upfront 
financial impact for Catapult but is highly strategic providing 
a proven commercialised solution for Catapult to accelerate 
entry into the prosumer market.

from 27 February 2013 and resigned this position on 
11 April 2016.

Principal activities

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

Loss per share for the year was $0.05 (2015: $0.04) and  
no dividend will be paid or declared.

The Group took action against Statsports to enforce 
its intellectual property rights, incurring legal costs of 
$359,707; this matter was concluded November 2015.

The Group’s net assets increased to $11,939,461 compared 
to the previous years’ position of $11,912,903.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

During the year, the following changes occurred within 
the Group:

Capital Raising: On 26 November 2015 the Group issued 
4,259,606 fully paid ordinary shares as part of its capital 
raising program, which resulted in gross proceeds of 
$6,048,640.

In the Directors’ opinion there have been no other significant 
changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the year. 
A further review of matters affecting the Group’s state of 
affairs is contained in the operating and financial review.

>  ongoing development and sale of elite athlete wearable 

tracking solutions; and

Dividends

>  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 $5,870,824 
(2015: $4,309,230). This increase is due to professional 
fees associated with the post balance sheet date acquisition 
of XOS and PlayerTek as well as the continued transition to 
a subscription business model, expansions into the United 
States and European markets and continued investment  
in development of products.

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

Events arising since the end of the 
reporting period

Acquisition of XOS Technologies Inc and 
Kodaplay Limited

On 13 July 2016, Catapult entered into a sale and purchase 
agreement with XOS Technologies, Inc (XOS). XOS is 
a market leader in providing innovative digital and video 
analytic software solutions to elite sports teams in the 
United States.

The XOS acquisition is strategically and financially 
compelling for Catapult’s shareholders as it:

>  Brings together the leaders of wearable and video 

technology, the two key technology pillars in elite 
club environments;

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2016

15

>  Strengthens Catapult’s strategic positioning and 
operational platform to accelerate its expansion  
globally and generate significant potential synergies;

>  Enables Catapult to pioneer the development of  
next generation products for elite sports which 
integrate player performance data analytics and  
video analytics; and

> 

Is substantially accretive to Catapult’s total revenues, 
recurring revenue base and EBITDA (pre-synergies)  
and will accelerate Catapult’s transition to positive 
EBITDA and free cash flow in FY17.

On 13 July 2016, Catapult Group entered into a sale and 
purchase agreement with Kodaplay Limited (trading as 
PlayerTek). PlayerTek is a leading developer of wearable 
analytics software solutions for the prosumer market.  
Over 140 teams across Europe and the UK have already 
adopted PlayerTek’s products since they were commercially 
launched in June 2015.

The PlayerTek acquisition is highly strategic, delivering 
a proven commercialised low-cost solution and augmenting 
the platform from which Catapult will spearhead its entry 
into the global prosumer market; supporting junior clubs, 
sub-elite and semi-professional athletes.

Both the acquisition of XOS and PlayerTek (the 
‘Acquisitions’) were completed on 12 August 2016.

Equity Raising

On 13 July 2016, Catapult launched a fully underwritten 
placement and entitlement offer to raise approximately 
$100 million (‘Equity Raising’), to finance the acquisitions 
of XOS and PlayerTek (‘Acquisition’) and provide additional 
working capital. The issue price of $3.00 per share 
was determined by a bookbuild process as part of the 
institutional offer which raised approximately $91 million. 
The remaining approximately $9 million was taken up by 
eligible retail shareholders under the retail offer.

Likely developments, business strategies 
and prospects

Based on the expected demand for wearable athlete 
analytics globally and the continued growth in the Group’s 
sales and marketing platform across key regions, we 

expect a significant increase in sales for the next several 
years. Furthermore, Catapult Group has continued to 
broaden its suite of athlete analytics solutions through 
the acquisitions of XOS and PlayerTek, resulting in 
a substantially larger addressable market opportunity 
across a wider range of customers in both elite and 
prosumer sporting leagues. Catapult Group expects  
to benefit in these new segments with increasing sales  
and brand loyalty.

Business risk

In executing its growth plans Catapult Group is subject  
to the following key market, operational and acquisition  
risks outlined below.

Economic risk

Catapult may be affected by general economic conditions. 
Changes in the broader economic and financial climate 
may adversely affect the conduct of the Catapult’s 
operations. In particular, sustained economic downturns in  
key geographies where Catapult is focused may adversely 
affect its financial performance. Changes in economic 
factors affecting general business cycles, inflation, legislation, 
monetary and regulatory policies, as well as changes to 
accounting standards, may also affect the performance 
of Catapult.

Industry and competition risk

Catapult’s performance could be adversely affected if 
existing or new competitors reduce Catapult’s market 
share, or its ability to expand into new market 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.

16

Directors’ Report continued

Business risk continued
Technology and hosting platforms

Catapult relies on a third party hosting provider to maintain 
continuous operation of its technology platforms, servers 
and hosting services and the cloud based environment 
in which Catapult provides its products. There is a risk 
that these systems may be adversely affected by various 
factors such as damage, faulting or aging 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. Further, if Catapult’s third party hosting provider 
ceased to offer its services to Catapult and Catapult was 
unable to obtain a replacement provider quickly, this could 
lead to disruption of service to the Catapult website and 
cloud infrastructure. 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.

Data loss, theft or corruption

Catapult provides its services through cloud based and 
other online platforms. Hacking or exploitation of any 
vulnerability on those platforms could lead to loss, theft  
or corruption of data. 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 severs impacts to client service, reputation and 
the ability for clients to use the products.

Manufacturing and product quality risks

Catapult currently uses third party manufacturers 
to produce components of its products. There is no 
guarantee that these manufacturers will be able to meet 
the cost, quality and volume requirements that are required 

to be met in order for Catapult to remain competitive. 
Catapult’s products must also satisfy certain regulatory 
and compliance requirements which may include 
inspection by regulatory authorities. Failure by Catapult 
or its suppliers to continuously comply with applicable 
requirements could result in enforcement action being 
taken against Catapult.

As a manufacturer, importer and supplier of products, 
product liability risk (including claims relating to product 
faults), faulty products and associated recall and warranty 
obligations are key risks of the Catapult business. While 
Catapult has product liability insurance, not all claims will 
be covered by this and the fallout from product liability 
issues may be far greater than what an insurance policy  
is able to cover.

Reliance on information provided

Catapult has undertaken a due diligence investigation 
process in respect of XOS and PlayerTek which included 
the review of financial and other information provided  
by the vendors of XOS and PlayerTek respectively.  
Despite taking reasonable efforts, Catapult has not been  
able to verify the accuracy, reliability or completeness 
of all the information which was provided to it against 
independent data.

Similarly, financial information in respect of the XOS 
Acquisition or PlayerTek Acquisition has been derived  
from audit reviewed and unaudited financial information  
of XOS and PlayerTek. Catapult is unable to verify the 
accuracy or completeness of this information.

If any of the data or information provided by to and relied 
upon by Catapult as part of the due diligence process 
is shown to be incomplete, incorrect, inaccurate or 
misleading, there is a risk that the actual financial position 
and performance of XOS, PlayerTek and the Catapult 
Group may be materially different to the financial position 
and performance expected by Catapult and reflected in 
this presentation. Investors should also note that there 
is no assurance that the due diligence conducted was 
conclusive and that all material issues and risks in respect 
of the Acquisitions have been identified. Therefore, there 
is a risk that unforeseen issues and risks may arise, which 
may also have a material impact on Catapult.

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2016

Business risk continued
Integration risk

The XOS Acquisition and PlayerTek Acquisition require 
integration of businesses, technology, products and 
systems and employees that have previously operated 
independently. There are risks that the integration of XOS 
and/or PlayerTek may encounter unexpected challenges 
or issues including (but not limited to) delays in consents 
and approvals, diversion of management attention, change 
in management personnel, or that the acquisitions do not 
deliver the benefits that were expected at the time the 
acquisition was agreed (or delivers benefits to a lesser 
extent than expected). A failure to fully integrate the 
operations of XOS and/or PlayerTek, or a delay in the 
integration process, could impose unexpected costs 
that may adversely affect the financial performance and 
position of Catapult.

Triggering change of control provisions

As the Acquisitions involve, in part, the acquisition of shares 
in companies, the Acquisitions will result in a change  
of control in XOS and PlayerTek. This could have adverse 
consequences for Catapult. For example, contracts with 
counterparties may be subject to review or termination  
in the event of a change of control.

Foreign exchange

Foreign exchange rates are particularly important to 
Catapult’s business given the increased amount of  
revenue which Catapult will derive following the proposed 
acquisitions from overseas. Catapult’s financial statements 
are prepared and presented in Australian dollars.  
Adverse movements in foreign currency markets could 
affect Catapult’s profitability and financial position.

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 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 circumvent 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.

Directors’ Report continued

Business risk continued

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.

Dividends

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

Development and commercialisation 
of intellectual property continued
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.

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.

1  Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

2  Details of remuneration

3  Service agreements

4  Share-based remuneration

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.

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2016

Directors’ Report continued

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 28 of this financial report and forms part of this Directors’ Report.

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 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 2016 were approved and authorised for issue by 
the Board of Directors on 29 August 2016.

3.  Changes in accounting policies

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

Effective this financial period the amendment below takes 
effect 1 July 2015:

AASB 2015-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards clarifies Financial Reporting Requirements for 
Australian Groups with a Foreign Parent. The Standard 
aligns the relief available in AASB 10 Consolidated Financial 
Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates 
and Joint Ventures in respect of the financial reporting 
requirements for Australian groups with a foreign parent. 
This Standard is not applicable to Catapult.

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 2016 
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 118 Revenue, AASB 111 Construction 
Contracts 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

Management has undertaken a detailed review of contract 
obligations and the underlying transactions. This review 
indicates that compliance with the Standard may result  
in a requirement to adjust the current revenue recognition 
methodology. Contracts contain an obligation to provide 
training. This is currently amortised over the life of the 
contract, compliance with the Standard will require this 
revenue to be recognised as the service is incurred, 
generally within the first 90 days of the contract, causing 
a change in the first year of revenue recognition; this is not 
considered to have a material impact. A review of costs 
incurred in contract acquisition indicates that the sales  
staff commissions on total contract value, currently 
recognised upfront, will also require a change in accounting 
treatment and be amortised over the life of the contract. 
This change is not anticipated to be material. Accordingly it 
is management’s opinion that 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 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 16 Leases (February 2016)
AASB 16:

> 

> 

replaces AASB 117 Leases and some 
lease-related Interpretations

requires all leases to be accounted for ‘on-balance 
sheet’ by lessees, other than short-term and low value  
asset leases

>  provides new guidance on the application of 
the definition of lease and on sale and lease 
back accounting

> 

largely retains the existing lessor accounting 
requirements in AASB 117

> 

requires new and different disclosures about leases

Management has reviewed the applicable provisions, 
specifically those relating to the operating leases as the 
lessor of wearables under subscription arrangements. 
Based on this 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 2020.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued

3.  Changes in accounting policies continued

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

>  when it can be demonstrated that revenue and the 

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 

2016. 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 
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.

4.3  Business combination

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 

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2016

37

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.

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. 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.

38

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued

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
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.

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 software; and

> 

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,  
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.

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

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.

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

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2016

39

>  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, IT equipment and other equipment. The following 
useful lives are applied:

> 

rental and demo units 4 years

>  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
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.

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

>  Loans and receivables;

4.12  Impairment testing of goodwill, other intangible 
assets and property, plant and equipment continued
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, 
which are measured initially at fair value. Subsequent 
measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities  
are described below.

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:

>  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.

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.

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2016

41

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.

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
Short-term employee benefits are benefits, other than 
termination benefits, that are expected to be settled wholly 
within twelve (12) months after the end of the period in 
which the employees render the related service. Examples 
of such benefits include wages and salaries, non-monetary 
benefits and accumulating sick leave. Short-term employee 
benefits are measured at the undiscounted amounts 
expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

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.

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.

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2016

43

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 has 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 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.

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.

4.23  Going concern

4.22  Significant management judgement in applying 
accounting policies continued

Estimation uncertainty continued
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.

Business combinations
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).

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 
$8,526,189 and had net cash outflow from operating 
activities of $2,292,249.

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.

>  The business has put in place appropriate staffing 

globally to execute the growth strategy outlined in the 
November capital raising.

>  The acquisition of XOS brings a mature, cash-generating 
entity into the Group enabling the consolidated operation 
to finance its day to day operations more effectively, 
better balance profitability with investment, and provide 
additional capital to fund strategic growth opportunities.

5.  Acquisitions and disposals

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

7.  Segment reporting

The Chief Operating Decision Maker currently reviews consolidated financial information when making decisions about  
the allocation of resources, and therefore there are currently no separate reportable operating segments in the Group.

The Group’s revenues from external customers (excludes government grants) and its non-current assets are divided into 
the following geographical areas:

Australia (Domicile)

Asia Pacific (ex Australia)

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued

16.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities continued

The amounts recognised in other comprehensive income relate exchange differences on translating foreign operations. 
See Note 25 for the amount of the income tax relating to these components of other comprehensive income.

All deferred tax assets (including tax losses and other tax credits) have been recognised in the statement of financial position.

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 2016, deferred income of $67,277 (2015: $58,188) 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 2016 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 
$6,838,846 of deferred income during FY 2017, with the balance falling into FY 2018 and 2019.

Catapult has continued to utilise its established 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.

The key terms of the Employee Plan are set out below:

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2016

55

Eligibility
Eligibility to participate in the Employee Plan and the 
number of Options, Performance Rights or other Awards 
offered to each individual participant, will be determined  
by the Board.

Grants
Under the rules of the Employee Plan, Options, Performance 
Rights and/or other Awards may be offered or granted to 
eligible employees of Catapult or any related body corporate 
of Catapult from time to time, subject to the discretion of 
the Board.

Terms and conditions
The Board has the discretion to set the terms and 
conditions (including conditions in relation to vesting, 
disposal restrictions or forfeiture and any applicable 
exercise price) on which it will offer or grant Options, 
Performance Rights or other Awards under the Employee 
Plan and may set different terms and conditions which 
apply to different participants in the Employee Plan.  
The Board will determine the procedure for offering  
or granting Options, Performance Rights and/or other 
Awards (including the form, terms and content of any  
offer, invitation or acceptance procedure) in accordance 
with the rules of the Employee Plan.

Vesting conditions
Options and Performance Rights and other Awards 
will vest and become exercisable to the extent that 
the applicable performance, service, or other vesting 
conditions specified at the time of the grant are satisfied 
(collectively the “Vesting Conditions”). Vesting Conditions 
may include conditions relating to continuous employment 
or service, the individual performance of the participant 
and/or Catapult’s performance and the exercise price 
(if any) being less than the current market price of the 
underlying Share as at vesting.

Typically, the Vesting Conditions must be satisfied within 
a predetermined vesting period.

Both the Vesting Conditions and the vesting period are set 
by the Board in its discretion, and may be waived by the 
Board in its discretion.

Vesting period for Options
For Options granted prior to the Original Prospectus Date, 
Board has not altered the vesting periods for Options 
granted prior to the Original Prospectus Date, with the 
exception of 57,500 Options which the service conditions 
were waived during the financial year, under the discretion 
of the Board.

For Options granted during the current financial period, 
the Board has retained a general policy of 3 years from the 
Options grant date. Of the Options issued during the year, 
the Board made exceptions to a total of 440,000 Options, 
where their vesting periods permitted partial vesting of the 
Options granted on the annual anniversary over a three 
year period.

Vesting period for Performance Rights
The Board has set a vesting period for the grant of the 
Performance Rights prior to the Original Prospectus 
Date and for the offer of Performance Rights to Eligible 
Employees pursuant to the Employee Offer under the 
Prospectus as 3 years from the date on which the 
Performance Rights are granted.

For performance rights on issue, the Board has not 
altered the vesting periods with the exception of 25,000 
performance rights for which the service conditions were 
waived during the financial year.

Shares issued (including Shares issued upon exercise 
of Options or Performance Rights granted) under the 
Employee Plan will rank equally in all respects with the 
other issued Shares.

Subject to satisfaction of Vesting Conditions, a participant 
may exercise an Option, Performance Right or other Award 
by lodging an exercise notice with Catapult and complying 
with any requirements under the Employee Plan.

A participant will have a vested and indefeasible entitlement 
to any dividends declared and distributed by Catapult 
on any Shares which, at the books closing date for 
determining entitlement to those dividends, are standing to 
the account of the participant. A participant may exercise 
any voting rights attaching to Shares registered in the 
participant’s name.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued

20.  Employee remuneration continued

20.2  Share-based employee remuneration continued

Vesting period for Performance Rights continued
Catapult may, in its discretion, issue new Shares or cause 
existing Shares to be acquired for transferred to the 
participant, or a combination of both alternatives, to satisfy 
Catapult’s obligations under the Employee Plan. If Catapult 
determines to cause the transfer of Shares to a participant, 
the Shares may be acquired in such manner as Catapult 
considers appropriate, including from a trustee appointed 
under the Employee Plan.

Pursuant to the Employee Plan, Catapult has appointed 
the Employee Plan Trustee to acquire and hold Shares 
on behalf of participants and for the purposes of the 
Employee Plan. Catapult may give directions to the 
Employee Plan Trustee as contemplated in the trust deed 
or if in connection with any Award. The Employee Plan 
Trustee holds 3,876,000 Shares on behalf of participants 
and for the purposes of the Employee Plan. The Employee 
Plan Trustee has entered into a restriction agreement with 
Catapult, pursuant to which those Shares are subject to 
escrow for a period of 24 months commencing on the date 
of Official Quotation.

Options, Performance Rights and other Awards which have 
not been exercised will be forfeited if the applicable Vesting 
Conditions and any other conditions to exercise are not 
met during the prescribed vesting period or if they are not 
exercised before the applicable expiry date. In addition, 
Options, Performance Rights and other Awards will lapse if 
the participant deals with the Options, Performance Rights 
or other Awards in breach of the rules of the Employee Plan 
or in the opinion of the Directors, a participant has acted 
fraudulently or with gross misconduct.

Options, Performance Rights and other Awards will not be 
quoted on ASX. Catapult will apply for official quotation of 
any Shares allotted under the Employee Plan, unless the 
Board resolves otherwise.

The Board may in its absolute discretion determine that 
a participant is required to pay an exercise price to exercise 
the Options, Performance Rights or other Awards offered 
or granted to that participant.

Grants of Options, Performance Rights or other Awards 
under the Employee Plan to a Director may be subject to 
the approval of Shareholders, to the extent required under 
the ASX Listing Rules.

Participants in the Employee Plan must not enter into 
transactions or arrangements, including by way of 
derivatives or similar financial products, which limit the 
economic risk of holding unvested Awards.

Subject to the rules of the Employee Plan, the Board must 
not offer Options, Performance Rights or other Awards 
if the total of the following exceeds 5% of the number of 
Shares on issue at the time of the offer:

> 

> 

> 

> 

the number of Shares which are the subject of the offer 
of Awards;

the number of Shares which are the subject of any 
outstanding offers of Awards;

the number of Shares issued during the previous 
5 years under the Employee Plan, but not including 
existing Shares transferred to a participant after having 
been acquired for that purpose; and

the number of Shares which would be issued under all 
outstanding Awards that have been granted but which 
have not yet been exercised, terminated or expired, 
assuming all such Awards were exercised ignoring any 
Vesting Conditions, but disregarding any offer made, or 
Award offered or issued or Share issued by way or as 
a result of:

–  an offer that does not meet disclosure to investors 
because of section 708 or section 1012D of the 
Corporations Act;

–  an offer made pursuant to a disclosure document 

or product disclosure statement; or

–  other offers that are excluded from the disclosure 

requirements under the Corporations Act.

The Board may impose restrictions on dealing in Shares or 
Awards which are acquired under the Employee Plan, for 
example, by prohibiting them from being sold, transferred, 
mortgaged, pledged, charged or otherwise disposed of or 
encumbered for a period of time.

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2016

57

If the Board determines that for a taxation, legal, regulatory 
or compliance reasons it is not appropriate to issue 
or transfer Shares, Catapult may in lieu of and in final 
satisfaction of Catapult’s obligation to issue or transfer 
Shares as required upon the exercise of an Award by 
a participant, make a cash payment to the participant 
equivalent to the fair market value of the Awards.

Where there is a change of control of Catapult, including 
where any person acquires a relevant interest in more than 
50% of the Shares, or where the Board concludes that 
there has been a change in the control of Catapult, the 
Board will determine, in its sole and absolute discretion,  
the manner in which all unvested and vested Awards will 
be dealt with.

Where there is a takeover bid made for all of the Shares  
or a scheme of arrangement, selective capital reduction  
or other transaction is initiated which has a similar effect to  
a full takeover bid for Shares, then participants are entitled 
to accept into the takeover offer or participate in the 
other transaction in respect of all or part of their Awards 

notwithstanding any restriction period has not expired. 
Further, the Board may in its discretion waive unsatisfied 
Vesting Conditions in relation to some or all Awards in the 
event of such a takeover or other transaction.

If, prior to the exercise of an Award, Catapult makes a pro-
rata bonus issue to Shareholders, and the Award is not 
exercised prior to the record date in respect of the bonus 
issue, the Award will, when exercised, entitle the participant 
to one Share plus the number of bonus shares which 
would have been issued to the participant if the Award had 
been exercised prior to the record date.

If Catapult undergoes a capital reorganisation, then the 
terms of the Awards for the participant will be changed to 
the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules.

The Employee Plan also contains terms having regard to 
Australian law for dealing with the administration, variation 
and termination of the Employee Plan.

32.  Financial instrument risk

32.1  Risk management objectives and policies

The Group is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments. The Group’s financial assets and liabilities  
by category are summarised in Note 19.1. The main types of risks are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Group’s risk management is coordinated in close cooperation with the Board of Directors, and focuses on actively 
securing the Group’s short to medium-term cash flows by minimising the exposure to financial markets The Group does 
not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes nor does it write options. The most significant 
financial risks to which the Group is exposed are described below.

32.2  Market risk analysis

The Group is exposed to currency risk resulting from its operating activities.

Foreign Currency Sensitivity
Exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the Group’s overseas sales and purchases, which are primarily 
denominated in US dollars (USD), Pound Sterling (GBP), Euro (EUR) and Japanese Yen (JPY).

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

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

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

There were no financial assets at June 2016 (2015: Nil).

Catapult Group International Limited Annual Report 2016

69

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.

34.  Capital management policies and procedures

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, to provide 
returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost 
of capital. Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of its gearing ratio. In order to 
maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Group considers its issue of new capital, return of capital to shareholders and 
dividend policy as well as its plan for acquisition or disposal of assets.

36.  Post-reporting date events

Subsequent to the reporting date and prior to the date of authorisation, the Group has undertaken a capital raising, to raise 
$100m by issuing 33.3m shares using a combination of placement and entitlement offers. These funds are to be used for 
the purpose of acquiring XOS Digital (USA) and PlayerTek (Ireland).

36.1  Acquisition of Kodaplay Ltd (PlayerTek)

On 11 August 2016, the Group acquired 100% of the equity instruments of Kodaplay Ltd (PlayerTek), an Ireland based 
business, thereby obtaining control. The acquisition was made to expedite the Group’s position in the emerging prosumer 
space for wearable athlete monitoring globally. PlayerTek is an emerging business in the Group’s targeted expansion 
market of prosumer.

Consideration transferred
The acquisition of PlayerTek was settled with cash of $3,586,613 and 424,579 ordinary shares.

The purchase agreement did not include any contingent or deferred consideration.

Acquisition related costs amounting to $122,754 are not included as part of consideration transferred and have been 
recognised as an expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, as part of 
‘other expenses’.

Identifiable net assets
The fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired as part of the business combination amounted to $1,473,000 and the 
Group’s best estimate is that any non-collections of this will be immaterial.

Goodwill
Goodwill of $3,787,000 is primarily related to growth expectations, expected future profitability and the skill and expertise 
of PlayerTek’s workforce. Goodwill will be allocated to this cash-generating unit and the goodwill that arises from this 
business combination is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities
As a post-balance date event and the associated proximity to release date of these financial reports, the Group has not  
yet had reasonable opportunity to finalise the tax treatment of the intangible assets associated with this acquisition.

PlayerTek contribution to the Group results
PlayerTek was acquired subsequently to 30 June 2016 and therefore did not have an impact on the profit or loss and 
other comprehensive income of the Group for the year then ended, apart from of acquisition costs of $122,754 which 
was expensed.

Consideration transferred
The acquisition of XOS was settled in cash amounting to $80,434,000.

The purchase agreement did not include any contingent or deferred consideration.

Acquisition related costs amounting to $1,313,893 are not included as part of consideration transferred and have been 
recognised as an expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, as part of 
‘other expenses’.

Identifiable net assets
The fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired as part of the business combination amounted to $25,929,000.

Goodwill
Goodwill of $47,209,000 is primarily related to the revenue and product synergies XOS brings to the Group as well as the 
key personnel of XOS. Goodwill will be allocated to this cash-generating unit and the goodwill that arises from this business 
combination is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities
As a post-balance date event and the associated proximity to release date of these financial reports, the Group has not yet 
had reasonable opportunity to finalise the tax treatment of the intangible assets associated with this acquisition. Based on 
initial assessment however an indicative DTL of $14,252,000 has been allocated.

XOS contribution to the Group results
XOS was acquired subsequently to 30 June 2016 and therefore did not have an impact on the profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income of the Group for the year then ended, apart from of acquisition costs of $1,313,893 which 
was expensed.

Independent Auditor’s Report continued

71 

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.   

Auditor’s opinion 
In our opinion:
