Introduction 

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Funtastic Limited we present to you our 2014 Annual Report. 

The Period in Review 

The  twelve  months  ended  31  July  2014  had  a  number  of  significant  challenges  however  the  Board  has  continued  to 
implement their strategy of growth through the continued development and ownership of our own brands and intellectual 
property as Funtastic’s core capability has evolved from being a distributor to a global manufacturer and brand builder. This 
has seen continued growth in revenue and profitability from our own brands on a global basis.  

The twelve months ended 31 July 2014 have been more challenging than expected. Whilst there were exceptional results for 
Chill  Factor,  this  was  insufficient  to  offset  the  soft  performance  of  some  of  our  core  agency  brands  in  a  continued  soft 
Australian retail environment. The growth in International markets was substantial, but the benefits were offset by additional 
costs incurred in changing distributor in the US as well as increased investment to drive the growth. 
On  the  31st  July  2014  the  company  sold  the  Madman  group  of  companies.  The  performance  of  the  Madman  division  was 
significantly lower than prior year primarily driven by the costs associated converting DVD’s from a sale and return basis to 
consignment.  The full impact on the Group’s reported result after tax, after taking into account current year’s performance, 
cost to change to consignment and final write-down, was a loss after tax of $25.7m. The proceeds of the sale have been used 
to reduce debt and strengthen the balance sheet. 

Following  a  continued  soft  period  of  trading  in  Australia  from  last  financial  year,  the  company  commenced  a  program  to 
reduce Inventory levels at lower than the carrying values. Whilst the program will continue into the next financial year, the 
carrying  value  of  the  Inventory  has  been  reduced  to  facilitate  the  various  initiatives.  This  will  improve  the  cash  flow  and 
reduce the warehousing costs going forwards. 

The Group’s reported result under IFRS was a disappointing loss after tax of $35.7m. The Group’s Earnings Before Interest, 
Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) from continuing operations was a loss of $820k, compared to profit of $16.8m in the 
previous year. The loss includes the write down of inventory and additional costs incurred to clear excess trade inventory. 

Despite  the  poor  performance  the  key  achievements  during  the  year  which  will  provide  a  sound  platform  to  build  the 
business for the future were: 

1.  Sale of the Madman Entertainment group of companies. 
2.  Top line growth of 31% in International markets. 
3.  Top line growth of 37% for own brands. 
4.  Reduction of Net debt of $16.8m during the year. 

Outlook 

The Board is confident that the company will return to profit in 2015 financial year following a re-alignment of the business 
structure with greater focus on the key drivers of the business.  

Whilst the Australian retail sector is expected to remain soft, the company has strengthened its product portfolio through the 
addition  of  brands  such  as  Rainbow  Loom,  as  well  as  new  products  within  our  own  and  key  agency  partners  which  have 
resulted in a broader customer and consumer base.  

Funtastic will continue to experience strong growth outside Australia through its own brands with a continued expansion of 
the Company’s geographic footprint.  

There has been a shift in resources in order to improve operating efficiency, develop new products and enhance our brand 
building  capabilities  that  will  not  only enhance  the  long  term  performance  of  our  own  brands  but  that  of  our  key  agency 
partners.  

The  Directors  would  like  to  thank  all  of  our  staff,  shareholders,  suppliers,  key  agency  partners  and  customers  for  their 
ongoing loyalty and support. 

Shane Tanner 
Chairman of the Board

Corporate Governance Statement 

Limited 

Funtastic 

The  Corporate  Governance  principles  that  guide  the 
(“Funtastic”  or 
operations  of 
“Company”)  are  detailed  in  this  statement.  Funtastic 
respects  and  endorses  the  ASX  Corporate  Governance 
Council’s  Principles  and  Recommendations.  The  Board 
believes  that  it  has  been compliant  with  the  spirit  of  the 
ASX  Corporate  Governance  Council’s  Principles  and 
Recommendations throughout the 2014 financial year. 

The  ASX  principles  that  have  been  adopted  are  outlined 
below. Where an alternative approach has been adopted, 
this  is  outlined  within  the  relevant  section.  All  these 
practices  unless  otherwise  stated,  were  in  place  for  the 
entire year. 

Role and Responsibility of the Board 

The  Board  of  Directors  is  elected  by  the  shareholders  to 
represent  the  interests  of  all  shareholders,  collectively, 
and in this regard, its primary purpose is to safeguard the 
financial security of Funtastic. 

Although responsibility for the operation of the Funtastic 
business is delegated to management, the Board remains 
responsible for, amongst other things: 

  establishing,  monitoring  and  modifying  Funtastic’s 

corporate strategies; 

  ensuring best practice corporate governance; 
  appointing  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  approving 

Board Membership 

The  members  of  the  Board  and  details  regarding  their 
appointment,  removal,  term  of  office,  attendance  at 
Board meetings and other committee meetings, skills and 
experience  are  detailed  in  the  Directors’  Report.    The 
Board  composition  is  determined  using  the  following 
principles: 

 
 
 

 

the Board should comprise between 3 and 9 directors; 
the maximum age for directors is 72; 
the  Board  should  comprise  directors  with  a  broad 
range of skills and experience; and 
the  term  of  any  appointment  is  subject  to  continuing 
shareholder approval. 

that  are 

The directors believe that limits on tenure may cause loss 
of  experience  and  expertise 
important 
contributors  to  the  efficient  working  of  the  Board.  As  a 
consequence, the Board does not support arbitrary limits 
on tenure and regards nominations for re-election as not 
being automatic but based on the needs of Funtastic. The 
constitution  sets  out  the  rules  to  which  Funtastic  must 
adhere  to  and  which include  rules  as  to  the  nomination, 
appointment and re-election of directors. The constitution 
provides  for  two  of  the  directors  to  retire  and  stand  for 
re-election  each  year  at  the  Annual  General  Meeting. 
Directors  appointed  during  the  year  by  the  Board  stand 
for re-election at the next Annual General Meeting.

  monitoring financial results; 
  ensuring  that  business  is  conducted  ethically  and 

transparently; 

  approving  decisions  concerning  Funtastic’s  capital, 
including capital restructures and dividend policy; and 
  ensuring  effective  external  disclosure  policies  so  that 
the  market  is  fully  informed  on  all  matters  that  may 
influence the share price. 

Board  members  have  complete  and  open  access  to 
management.  The  Company  Secretary  provides  advice 
and  support  to  the  Board  and  is  responsible  for  the 
Company’s day to day governance framework. 

Structure of the Board 

The  Board  comprises  four  non-executive  directors  and 
two  executive  directors  (the  Chief  Executive  Officer  and 
the  Chief  Finance  Officer/Chief  Operating  Officer).  The 
details  of  each  director’s  qualifications,  experience  and 
skills are set out on page 12 of the Annual Report. 

The chairman of the Board is a non-executive director and 
is  elected  by  the  Board.  The  chairman  is  responsible  for 
the  management  of  the  affairs  of  the  Board  and 
represents the Board in periods between Board meetings. 

6 

The  Board  has  assessed  the  criteria  for  independence  as 
outlined in the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s best 
practice  recommendation  2.1.  Independent  directors  of 
Funtastic  are  those  not  involved  in  the  day  to  day 
management of the company and are free from any real 
or  reasonably  perceived  business  or  other  relationship 
that  could  materially  interfere  with  the  exercise  of  their 
unfettered and independent judgement.  

Currently,  three  of  the  six  directors  are  considered  to  be 
independent. It is the Board’s view that Mr Shane Tanner, 
Ms  Linda  Norquay  and  Mr  Stephen  Heath  are 
is  not 
independent  directors.  Mr  Craig  Mathieson 
considered  to  be  an  independent  director  due  to  him 
being a substantial shareholder.  

Mr  Nir  Pizmony  and  Mr  Grant  Mackenzie  are  Executive 
independent 
Directors  and  are  deemed  not  to  be 
directors. 

Regardless  of  whether  directors  are  defined  as 
to  bring 
independent,  all  directors  are  expected 
independent views and judgement to Board deliberations.  

that 

The  Board  strongly  believes 
the  degree  of 
commitment,  depth  of  experience  and  independence  of 
thought  present  in  the  current  structure  is  appropriate 
and  will  best  serve  the company  and  all its  shareholders 
at  this  stage  of  its  development.  The  Board  periodically 
assesses the independence of each director. 

 
 
 
Corporate Governance Statement 

Board and Director Independence (continued) 

Independent Professional Advice (continued) 

Funtastic operates in an entrepreneurial environment and 
requires,  and  benefits  from,  the  passionate  involvement 
of directors who have been either instrumental in the  
business, and or who have specialised knowledge of, and 
expertise in, this business sector.  

Funtastic  has  noted  the  ASX  Corporate  Governance 
Council’s  best  practice  recommendation  that 
listed 
companies  have  an independent  director  as  Chairman  of 
the  Audit,  Risk  and  Compliance  Committee.  This 
Committee  is  comprised  of  four  non-executive  directors.  
Mr  Craig  Mathieson  is  the  chairman  of  the  committee.  
The Board considers that three independent directors on 
the committee are sufficient for the independence of the 
committee. 

Work of Directors 

Materials  for  Board  meetings  are  circulated  in  advance. 
The  agenda  is  formulated  with  input  from  the  Chief 
Executive Officer and the Chairman. Directors are free to 
nominate  matters  for  inclusion  on  the  agenda  for  any 
Board or Board committee meeting. 

The Board is provided with reports from management on 
the  financial  performance  of  each  business  unit.  The 
reports include details of all key financial results reported 
against  budgets  approved  by  the  Board,  with  regular 
updates  on  forecasts  for  the  year.  The  Chief  Executive 
Officer and Chief Financial Officer attest to the integrity of 
the financial reports provided to the Board each meeting. 
Similarly, the written statement provided to the Board, in 
relation  to  Funtastic’s  full  year  accounts  states  that 
Funtastic’s  financial  reports  present  a  true  and  fair  view, 
in  all  material  respects.  Further, 
it  confirms  that 
Funtastic’s financial condition and operational results are 
in accordance with relevant accounting standards. 

Non-executive  directors  spend  approximately  thirty  days 
each year on Board business and activities including Board 
and committee meetings, visits to operations and meeting 
employees,  customers,  business  associates  and  other 
stakeholders. 

The  Chairman  regularly  meets  with  the  Chief  Executive 
Officer  to  review  key  issues  and  performance  trends 
affecting the business of Funtastic. 

Conflict of Interest 

In  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001  and 
Funtastic’s  Constitution,  directors  must  keep  the  Board 
advised  on  an  ongoing  basis,  of  any  interest  that  could 
potentially  conflict  with  those  of  Funtastic.  Where  the 
Board  believes  that  a  significant  conflict  exists,  the 
director  concerned  does  not  receive  the  relevant  Board 
papers and is not present at the meeting while the item is 
being considered. 

Independent Professional Advice 

Each  director  has  the  right  to  seek 
professional advice at the expense of Funtastic.  

independent 

Prior written approval of the chairman is required, which 
will not be unreasonably withheld. All directors are made 
aware of the professional advice sought and obtained. 

Communication and disclosure 

The  company  complies  with  all  relevant  disclosure  laws 
and  Listing  Rules  prescribed  by  the  ASX  and  has  policies 
and  procedures  designed  to  ensure  accountability  at  a 
senior management level for that compliance. 

The  Company  Secretary  is  accountable  to  the  Board, 
through  the  Chairman,  on  compliance  and  governance 
matters. 

Funtastic  is  committed  to  effective  communication  with 
its investors so as to give them ready access to balanced 
and understandable information.  

Director competencies 

The  Board  plans  annual  self-assessments  of  its  collective 
performance,  and  its  subcommittees.  This  exercise  takes 
into  consideration  the  collective  directors’  competency, 
skills,  experience  and  expertise.  Where  necessary, 
Funtastic  will  provide  the  required  resources  to  assist 
directors in improving their performance. 

the  Company’s 

New  directors  are  provided  with  a  letter  of  appointment 
setting  out 
their 
responsibilities,  rights  and  the  terms  and  conditions  of 
their  appointment.  All  new  directors  participate  in  an 
induction  program  which  covers  the  operation  of  the 
Board  and 
its  committees  and  financial,  strategic, 
operations and risk management issues.

implementation  of  procedures  and  development  of 
policies  in  respect  of  the  maintenance  of  appropriate 
ethical standards. Funtastic has a Code of Conduct, which

Outlook 

The Board is confident that performance will improve in FY15, where there were a number of significant costs incurred in 
FY14 and where improved controls will avoid similar expenditure in the future. The Company structure has been stream-lined 
to provide greater focus on the key issues of the business. 

The overall retail environment is not expected to improve dramatically, however the Company has strengthened its portfolio 
enabling growth in a broader customer and consumer base. The growth in International markets will continue with additional 
new products, line extensions and additional markets.  

Dividends 

During the year, the Directors declared and paid a final dividend on the 27 November 2013 for the year ended 31 July 2013 of 
0.5 cents per share.  In respect of the financial year ended 31 July 2014, no dividends have been declared. 

Rounding of amounts to nearest thousand dollars 

The Company is of a kind referred to in Class Order 98/0100, issued by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission, 
relating to the ‘rounding off’ of amounts in the Directors’ Report.  Amounts in the Directors’ Report and Financial Statements 
have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest

are set out in the Remuneration Report. 

The Board has discretion to waive any vesting conditions or other restrictions to the ESLS in accordance with the ESLS plan 
rules provided such amendments do not widely prejudice the rights of existing participants. 

Changes in state of affairs 

On 31 July 2014, the Company executed and completed a sale agreement to dispose of Madman Entertainment (“Madman”). 
The sale consideration was $21,500,000, plus or minus ‘Working Capital Adjustment’ (amount by which Completion Working 
capital exceeds or less than the Target Working Capital of $14,143,000). The loss recognised in these financial statements is 
$23,824,000. 

Other than the above, there was no significant change in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial 
year. 

Non-audit services 

Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor are outlined 
in Note 38 to the financial statements.  The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services, during the year, by 
the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor’s behalf) is compatible with the general standard of independence 
for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.  

The Directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in Note 38 to the financial statements do not compromise the 
external auditor’s independence, based on advice received from the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee, for the following 
reasons: 

  all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of 

the auditor; and 

  none  of  the  services  undermine  the general principles  relating  to  auditor  independence  as  set  out  in  Code  of  Conduct 
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board, 
including  reviewing  or  auditing  the  auditor’s  own  work,  acting  in  a  management  or  decision-making  capacity  for  the 
Company, acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.  

A copy of the Auditor’s Independence Declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on 
page 30 of this annual report.

Remuneration policy for directors and executives 

Principles of Compensation 
The Remuneration and Evaluation Committee makes specific recommendations to the Board on compensation packages and 
other terms of employment for directors and other senior executives. The Board then considers these recommendations and 
makes  appropriate  determinations,  with  compensation  packages  set  at  a  level  that  is  intended  to  attract  and  retain 
executives capable of managing the consolidated entity’s diverse operations. 

Compensation  of  the  senior  executives  is  reviewed  on  an  annual  basis  by  the  Remuneration  and  Evaluation  Committee 
having  regard  to  personal  and  corporate  performance  and  relevant  comparative  information.  Compensation  for  senior 
executives comprises both fixed compensation and an “at risk” component. The “at risk” component comprises a short term 
incentive  payment  based  on  a  combination  of  the  company’s  results  and  individual  performance  levels,  and  a  long  term 
incentive component pursuant to the Funtastic Executive Share Option Plan and the Funtastic Employee Performance Share 
Rights Plan and Employee Share Loan Scheme (ESLS). 

The  payment  of  short-term  incentives  is  dependent  on  the  achievement  of  operating  and  financial  targets  set  at  the 
beginning of each year and assessed on an annual basis by the Board. 

Compensation and other terms of employment for senior executives are formalised in service agreements. 

The Group’s executive remuneration is directly related to the performance of the Group through the linking of short and long 
term incentives to certain financial performance measures. These performance  measures, as described below, are selected 
by  the  Board  of  directors  and  considered  relevant  to  the  management  of  the  diverse  operations  of  the  Group  and  to 
effectively  align  the  long-term  interests  of  the  Directors,  executives  and  shareholders.    The  performance  conditions  are 
assessed periodically by the Remuneration and Evaluation Committee to ensure they remain relevant. 

Compensation and company performance  
Funtastic  Limited’s  Net  Profit  after  Tax  (NPAT)  and  Diluted  Earnings  per  Share  (EPS)  growth  have  been  the  central 
performance  measures  for  the  Company’s  incentive  plans  for  executives  since  listing.  Other  measures  include  revenue 
growth, return on average funds employed, net operating cash flow, total shareholder return and other business objectives.  

In 2014 no Short Term Incentive (‘STI”) eligible payments were made (2013:$nil).

Components of Compensation 

Fixed Compensation 

The  terms  of  employment  for  all  executive  management  contain  a  fixed  compensation  component,  which  is  expressed  in 
local  currency.  This  fixed  component  is  set  in  accordance  with  the  market  rate  for  a  comparable  role  by  reference  to 
appropriate  external  benchmark 
individual’s  responsibilities,  performance, 
qualifications, experience and location. An executive’s compensation is also reviewed on promotion. 

information  and  having  regard  to  an 

Fixed compensation includes contributions to superannuation and pension plans in accordance with relevant legislation or as 
contractually required. Fixed compensation is structured as a total employment cost package which may be delivered to the 
executive as a mix of cash and prescribed non-financial benefits at the executive’s discretion. There are no guaranteed pay 
increases in any senior executive’s contract. 

Benefits  for  termination  of  employment  may  be  payable  subject  to  the  circumstances  of  the  termination  and  within  the 
terms of the employment contract. 

At risk Compensation 

Annual Bonus  

 

 

 

 

The  annual cash  bonus  represents  the  actual entitlements  payable  under  Funtastic’s  annual  short-term incentive  plan 
(STI). Details are set out below of the amount available for the bonus and the performance conditions that were required 
to be satisfied in order for the bonus to be payable. 
The STI plan is a cash-based plan that involves linking specific targets (predominantly financial) with the opportunity to 
earn incentives based on a percentage of fixed compensation.  
Performance  measurements  have  been  applied  to  each  component  of  STI  and  accordingly,  entitlements  were 
determined  with  regard  to  the  executive’s  level  and  area  of  responsibility.    Performance  against  the  objectives  was 
determined and incentives and entitlements assessed against the audited financial results.   
The STI is weighted where 50% is payable in the event that the Group’s earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and 
amortisation (EBITDA) for the 12 months from 1 August 2013 to 31 July 2014 exceeds the groups financial objectives and 
50%  where  EBITDA exceeds  the  growth  stretch  target.  Each  individual’s  bonus  is  based  on  a  percentage  of  their  total 
package as follows:

Share Options/Share Performance Right Plans 
The  Company’s  long-term  incentive  arrangements  (LTI)  are  designed  to  link  executive  compensation  with  growth  in 
shareholder value through the grant of options or rights over equity securities (shares) in the Company. Options are granted 
under the Company’s Executive Share Option Plan (ESOP) which was approved by shareholders and directors of the Company 
on  2  August  2000.  Performance  Share  Rights  are  granted  under  the  Funtastic  Employee  Performance  Share  Rights  Plan 
(EPSR) which was established in 2005. 

Participation  in  the  ESOP  and/or  EPSR  is  offered  to  executives  who  are  able  to  influence,  or  who  have  the  potential  to 
influence, the generation of shareholder wealth, as assessed against the LTI performance hurdles. 

In general, eligible executives are offered annual grants under the plans which in total are designed to be the equivalent of 
up to 30% of their annual fixed compensation on an annualised basis. 

Options and/or rights are granted for no consideration. The performance periods, performance hurdles and other terms and 
conditions are set by the Board for each grant of options or rights. The options or rights vest and become exercisable only 
when the specific criteria for each grant are met.

(i)Executive Share option (ESOP) series 33 lapsed on 2 September 2013. No options were exercised. The fair value of these options at 2 

9,166,666 

September 2013 was $nil. 

(i)There  are  no  performance  conditions  attached  to  this  share  option.  The  only  vesting  condition  is  for  participants  to  remain  in 
employment  until  1  January  2016  for  tranche  1  and  6  November  2016  for  tranche  2.  The  design  of  the  ESLS  is  to  link  executive 
compensation with continuing service commitment to Funtastic and growth in shareholder value. 
(ii)The expiry date is on the date the employee ceases employment with Funtastic whether vested or not. 

The performance conditions attached to the Company’s share options and Performance Share Rights are outlined below: 

Share Options - Performance condition 3 (type 3) 
For  each  of  the  three  years,  one  third  of  the  options  will vest  on  the  anniversary  of  employment  provided  there  is a  30% 
compound  share  growth  based  on  the  exercise  price  of  13.5  cents.  In  such  case  the  following  performance  hurdles  are 
required to be achieved: 

a)  in year 1 the share price to be no less than 17 cents; 
b)  in year 2 the share price to be no less than 23 cents; and 
c)  in year 3 the share price to be no less than 30 cents. 

If the performance hurdle rate is not achieved for any particular year the allocation of options for that year will still vest if the 
cumulative performance hurdle for the following year or years is achieved. In such cases the vested options roll over to the 
year when the cumulative performance hurdle is achieved.

Remuneration Report (Audited) (continued) 

Share Options - Performance condition 3 (type 3) (continued) 
Performance hurdles will be achieved if the requisite share price is maintained for any six months of the relevant 12 month 
period, based on the volume weighted average market price of the shares on the ASX for each month commencing on the 
first day of employment with Funtastic. 

Options  granted  under  the  plan  carry  no  dividend  or  voting  rights.  When  exercisable,  each  option  is  convertible  into  one 
ordinary share. 

The  exercise  price  of  options  is  based  on  the  weighted  average  price  at  which  the  company’s  shares  are  traded  on  the 
Australian  Stock  Exchange  during  the  five  days  immediately  before  the  options  are  granted.  Amounts  receivable  on  the 
exercise of options are recognised as share capital. 

Share Options - Performance condition 4 (type 4) 
Type 4 options are identical to type 3 options in every regard, except that for each of the three years, one third of the options 
will vest on the anniversary of employment provided there is a 30% compound share growth based on the exercise price of 
20.7 cents. In such case the following performance hurdles are required to be achieved: 
a)  in year 1 the share price to be no less than 27 cents; 
b)  in year 2 the share price to be no less than 35 cents; and 
c)  in year 3 the share price to be no less than 45 cents. 

Employee Share Loan Scheme 

During the 2013 financial year, the Company established the Funtastic Employee Share Loan Scheme (ESLS). At the Board’s 
discretion, eligible employees were invited to participate in the scheme.  

The Funtastic Employee Share Loan Scheme Trust (Trust) was established for the purpose of purchasing and holding shares 
on  behalf  of  participants  to  satisfy  exercises made  under  the  ESLS  operated  by  Funtastic.  Under  the ESLS,  an interest  free 
limited recourse loan (a loan where the participant’s risk will be limited to the shares issued to the participant under or in 
connection  with  the  plan)  to  the  value  of  the  grant  date  issue  price  per  share  was  granted  to  each  participant.  Each 
participant directs Funtastic to pay the loan amount to the trustee of the Trust and the trustee to use the loan amount to 
acquire  shares  on  behalf  of  the  Participant,  which  are  held  until  the  exercise  date  of  the  option  under  which  they  were 
purchased 

The loan is repayable by the participant when the options become exercisable, being after the vesting date and subject to the 
satisfaction of the vesting conditions. When the options are exercisable, in the event that the balance of the loan is less than 
the  estimated  market  value  of  shares  that  secure  the  loan  less  estimated  transaction  costs,  a  participant  may  request 
Funtastic to sell the shares on the ASX and that the funds received from the sale of those shares, less any costs incurred in 
connection with the sale and less the loan balance be remitted to the participant. 

The shares are eligible to participate in dividends declared by the Company.  Any dividends paid will be utilised to reduce the 
carrying value of each scheme participant's individual loan balance on the dividend payment date. 

In  the  event  that  the  loan  balance  is  greater  than  the  sale  proceeds,  a  participant  may  request  Funtastic  to  transfer  the 
shares which secure the loan to the participant provided that the participant remits any outstanding balance of the loan to 
Funtastic as repayment of the loan.  

In the event that an employee ceases employment with Funtastic, is entitled to vested shares and does not direct Funtastic 
to sell or transfer such Shares to the participant and the balance of the loan is greater than the estimated proceeds amount, 
Funtastic must buy back and cancel such shares with the consideration from the buyback being the full satisfaction of the 
then outstanding balance of the loan. The participant will have no further entitlements to or in respect of the shares.  

No  performance  conditions  are  attached  to  the  ESLS  and  the  only  vesting  condition  is  a  service  condition  which  requires 
participants to remain in employment until 1 January 2016 for Tranche 1 and 6 November 2016 for Tranche 2. The options 
become exercisable only when the vesting conditions are met. (See Note 35) 

The expiry date of the ESLS options is on the date the employee ceases employment with Funtastic. Further details on the 
ESLS, the ESLS Trust and the ESLSs interest free limited recourse loan are set out in Note 35 of the financial statements. 

The board has discretion to waive any vesting conditions or other restrictions attached to the ESLS in accordance with the 
ESLS plan rules provided that such amendments do not unduly prejudice the rights of existing participants

Independent Auditor’s Report 
to the Members of Funtastic Limited 

Report on the Financial Report  

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  financial  report  of  Funtastic  Limited,  which  comprises  the 
statement  of  financial  position  as  at  31  July  2014,  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other 
comprehensive income, the statement of cash flows and the statement of changes in equity for the year 
ended  on  that  date,  notes  comprising  a  summary  of  significant  accounting  policies  and  other 
explanatory  information,  and  the  directors’  declaration  of  the  consolidated  entity,  comprising  the 
company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year 
as set out on pages 31 to 90.  

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report 

The  directors of the company are responsible for the  preparation  of the financial report  that  gives a 
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 
and for such internal  control  as the  directors determine  is  necessary to  enable  the  preparation  of the 
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to 
fraud or error. In Note 2, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 
Presentation  of  Financial  Statements,  that  the  consolidated  financial  statements  comply  with 
International Financial Reporting Standards. 

Auditor’s Responsibility 

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

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures 
in  the  financial  report.  The  procedures  selected  depend  on  the  auditor’s  judgement,  including  the 
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. 
In  making  those  risk  assessments,  the  auditor  considers  internal  control,  relevant  to  the  company’s 
preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view, in order to design audit procedures 
that  are  appropriate  in  the  circumstances,  but  not  for  the  purpose  of  expressing  an  opinion  on  the 
effectiveness of the company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness 
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the  directors, as 
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. 

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

At the date of this declaration, the Company is within the class of companies affected by ASIC Class Order 98/1418 and has 
entered into a deed of cross guarantee as contemplated in that order.  The nature of the deed of cross guarantee is such that 
each  company  which is  party  to  the  deed  guarantees  to  each  creditor  payment  in  full  of  any  debt  in  accordance  with  the 
deed of cross guarantee. 

In the directors’ opinion, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company and the companies to which the ASIC 
Class Order applies, as detailed in Note 32 to the financial statements will, as a Group, be able to meet any obligations or 
liabilities to which they are, or may become, subject by virtue of the deed of cross guarantee. 

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the directors made pursuant to section 295(5) of the Corporations Act 2001. 

On behalf of the Directors,

Notes to the Financial Statements 31 July 2014 

NOTE 1: 

Application of new and revised Accounting Standards 

1.1  
periods) 

Standards and Interpretations affecting amounts reported in the current period (and/or prior 

The following new and revised Standards and Interpretations have been adopted in the current year and may have affected 
the amounts reported in these financial statements. 

a)  Standards affecting presentation and disclosure 

(i) 

AASB 13 ‘Fair value measurement’ (2011) 

AASB  13  provides  a  single  source  of  guidance  on  how  fair  value  is  measured  and  disclosed,  and  replaces  the  fair  value 
measurement  guidance  that  is  currently  dispersed  throughout  Australian  Accounting  Standards.  The  scope  of  AASB  13  is 
broad; the fair value measurement requirements of AASB 13 apply to both financial instrument and non-financial instrument 
items  for  which  other  AASBs  require  or  permit  fair  value  measurements  and  disclosures  about  fair  value  measurements, 
except  for  share-based  payment  transactions  that  are  within  the  scope  of  AASB  2  ‘Share-based  Payment’,  leasing 
transactions that are within the scope of AASB 117 ‘Leases’, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but 
are  not  fair  value  (e.g.  net  realisable  value  for  the  purposes  of  measuring  inventories  or  value  in  use  for  impairment 
assessment purposes). The Group has applied AASB 13 for the first time in the current financial year.  

(ii) 

AASB  2011-4  ‘Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  to  Remove  Individual  Key  Management 
Personnel Disclosure Requirements’ 

AASB  2011-4  removes  the  individual  key  management  personnel  disclosure  requirements  in  AASB  124  ‘Related  Party 
Disclosures’. As a result, the Group only discloses the key management personnel compensation in total and for each of the 
categories required in AASB 124. 

In the current year, the individual key management personnel disclosure previously required by AASB 124, is now disclosed in 
the remuneration report due to an amendment to Corporations Regulations 2001 issued in June 2011. 

b)  Standards and Interpretations affecting the reported results or financial position 

(i) 

AASB 10 ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’ 

AASB  10  replaces  the  parts  of  AASB  127  ‘Consolidated  and  Separate  Financial  Statements’  that  deal  with  consolidated 
financial  statements  and  Interpretation  112  ‘Consolidation  –  Special  Purpose  Entities’.  AASB  10  changes  the  definition  of 
control such that an investor controls an investee when (i) it has power over an investee; (ii) it is exposed, or has rights, to 
variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and (iii) has the ability to use its power to affect returns. All three of 
these criteria must be met for an investor to have control over an investee. Previously, control was defined as the power to 
govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Additional guidance has 
been included in AASB 10 to explain when an investor has control over an investee.  

AASB 10 does not have a material impact on the reported results or financial position as entities that are not wholly-owned 
are dormant or not operational. 

(ii) 

AASB 12 ‘Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities’ 

AASB  12  is  a  new  disclosure  standard  and  is  applicable  to  entities  that  have  interests  in  subsidiaries,  joint  arrangements, 
associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the application of AASB 12 has resulted in more extensive 
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements 

AASB 12 does not have a material impact on the reported results or financial position as entities that are not wholly-owned 
are dormant or not operational.

Statement of compliance 
These  financial  statements  are  general  purpose  financial 
statements which have been prepared in accordance with 
the  Corporations  Act  2001,  Accounting  Standards  and 
Interpretations,  and  comply  with  other  requirements  of 
the 
the 
consolidated financial statements of the Group.

law.  The 

For  the  purpose  of  preparing  the  consolidated  financial 
statements the Company is a for profit entity. 

Accounting  Standards 
include  Australian  Accounting 
Standards.  Compliance  with  Australian  Accounting 
Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes 
comply  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards 
(IFRS).  

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the 
directors on 30 September 2014. 

The Company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC 
in 
Class  Order  98/0100,  dated  10  July  1998,  and 
in  the 
accordance  with  that  Class  Order  amounts 
director’s report and the financial report are rounded off 
to  the  nearest  thousand  dollars,  unless  otherwise 
indicated. 

Basis of preparation 

The  financial  report  has  been  prepared  on  the  basis  of 
historical cost, except for derivative financial instruments 
that have been measured at fair value.  Cost is based on 
the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for 
assets.    All  amounts  are  presented  in  Australian  dollars, 
unless otherwise stated.  

Going concern basis 

Despite  the  poor  performance  in  the  current  financial 
year,  the  loss  from  continuing  operations  of  $9,290,000 
(2013: profit $6,377,000) was primarily driven by a write-
down in the carrying value of the inventory and additional 
discounts to clear excess retail inventory.  

The  sale  of  Madman  Entertainment  at  the  end  of  the 
financial  year  has  enabled  the  Group  to  restructure  the 
organisation,  continue  to  develop  and  grow  owned 
brands  and  drive  growth  of  the  key  agency  brands. 
Various  initiatives  have  been  implemented  which  will 
reduce  the  operational  costs  in  the  longer  term  and 
improve the working capital of the business.  

The sale of Madman Entertainment has also enabled the 
Group  to  significantly  reduce  its  debt.  The  Group  is 
currently  in  the  process  of  undertaking  a  review  of  its 
borrowing  facilities  with  the  objective  of  establishing 
appropriate  facilities  that  are  aligned  with  the  future 
growth  plans  of  the  company.  This  review  is  being 
undertaken  with  the  support  of  the  National  Australia 
Bank.

is  a  net  current  asset  deficiency  of 
Whilst  there 
$6,005,000 (2013: $10,619,000), the financial  statements 
have been prepared on a going concern basis, due to the 
fact  that  of  the  total  current  borrowings  of  $36,656,000 
(2013:  $52,877,000),  $25,427,000  (2013:  $30,479,000) 
relate  to  trade  finance  facilities  that  will  be  available  to 
the Group until at least 31 October 2015. 

The  Group  had  operating  cash  inflows  of  $1,782,000  for 
the  period  (2013:  $5,614,000),  and  is  expected  to  return 
to  a  profit  with  steady  long  term  growth,  improved 
working capital and continuing reduction of debt. 

 (a)  Basis of consolidation 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the 
financial  statements  of  the  Company  and  entities 
controlled  by  the  Company  (its  subsidiaries)  (referred  to 
as  “the  Group”  in  these  financial  statements).  Control  is 
achieved when the Company:  

 
 

 

Has the power over the investee; 
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its 
involvement with the investee; and 
has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. 

The  Company  reassesses  whether  or  not  it  controls  an 
investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are 
changes to one or more of the three elements of control 
listed above. 

When  the  Company  has  less  than  majority  of  the  voting 
rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when 
the  voting  rights  are  sufficient  to  give  it  the  practical 
ability  to  direct  the  relevant  activities  of  the  investee 
unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and 
circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company’s 
voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, 
including: 

 

 

 

 

the  size  of  the  Company’s  holding  of  voting  rights 
relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the 
other vote holders; 
potential  voting  rights  held  by  the  Company,  other 
vote holders or other parties; 
rights  arising  from  other  contractual  arrangements; 
and 
any additional facts and circumstances that indicate 
that the Company has, or does not have, the current 
ability  to  direct  the  relevant  activities  at  the  time 
decisions need to be made, including voting patterns 
at previous shareholders’ meetings. 

Consolidation  of  a  subsidiary  begins  when  the  Company 
obtains  control  over  the  subsidiary  and  ceases  when  the 
Company  losses  control  of  the  subsidiary.  Specifically, 
income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed 
of  during  the  year  are  included  in  the  consolidated 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive

Profit  or 
component  of  other 
comprehensive  income  are  attributed  to  the  owners  of 
the  Company  and  to  the  non-controlling  interests.  Total 
comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the 
owners  of  the  Company  and  to  the  non-controlling 
interests even if this results in the non-controlling interest 
having a deficit balance.  

When  necessary,  adjustments  are  made  to  the  financial 
statements  of  subsidiaries  to  bring  their  accounting 
policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies.

(b) 

Income tax 

Current tax 

(i) 
The income tax expense or revenue for the year is the tax 
payable  or  receivable  on  the  current  year’s  taxable 
income  based  on  the  national  income  tax  rate  for  each 
jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and 
liabilities  attributable  to  temporary  differences  between 
the  tax  bases  of  assets  and  liabilities  and  their  carrying 
amounts  in  the  financial  statements  and  to  unused  tax 
losses. 

(ii)  Deferred tax 
Deferred  tax  is  accounted  for  using  the  balance  sheet 
liability  method.  Assets  and  liabilities  are  recognised  for 
temporary  differences  at  the  tax  rates  expected  to  apply 
when  the  assets  are  recovered  or  liabilities  are  settled, 
based  on  those  tax  rates  which  are  enacted,  or 
substantively  enacted,  for  each  jurisdiction.  The  relevant 
tax  rates  are  applied  to  the  cumulative  amounts  of 
deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure 
the deferred tax asset or liability. 

An  exception  is  made  for  certain  temporary  differences 
arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. 
No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation 
to  these  temporary  differences 
in  a 
transaction,  other  than  a  business  combination,  that  at 
the  time  of  the  transaction  did  not  affect  either 
accounting profit or taxable profit or loss. 

if  they  arose 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at 
the  end  of  each  reporting  period  and  reduced  to  the 
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable 
profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to 
be recovered. 

Deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  for  deductible 
temporary  differences  and  unused  tax  losses  only  if  it  is 
probable that future taxable amounts will be available to 
utilise those temporary differences and losses.  

Deferred  tax  liabilities  and  assets  are  not  recognised  for 
temporary differences between the carrying amount and 
tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the 
parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal 
of  the  temporary  differences  and  it  is  probable  that  the 
differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 

 (iii)  Current and deferred tax for the period 
Current  and  deferred  tax  balances  attributable  to 
amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised 
directly in equity.

 (iv) Tax Consolidation 
The  company  and  its  wholly-owned  Australian  resident 
entities  are  part  of  a  tax-consolidated  Group  under 
Australian  taxation  law.  Funtastic  Limited  is  the  head 
entity 
Tax 
expense/revenue, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax 
assets arising from temporary differences of the members 
of  the  tax-consolidated  Group  are  recognised  in  the 
separate financial statements of the members of the tax-

Group” approach by reference to the carrying amounts in 
the  separate  financial  statements  of  each  entity  and  the 
tax values applying under tax consolidation.  

Group. 

Due  to  the  existence  of  a  tax  funding  arrangement 
between  the  entities  in  the  tax-consolidated  Group, 
amounts are recognised as payable to or receivable by the 
company  and  each  member  of  the  Group  in  relation  to 
the  tax  contribution  amounts  paid  or  payable  between 
the  parent  entity  and  the  other  members  of  the  tax-
consolidated Group in accordance with the arrangement. 
Further information about the tax funding arrangement is 
detailed in Note 8 to the financial statements.  

(c)  Foreign currency translation 

Functional and presentation currency 

(i) 
Items included in the financial statements of each of the 
Group’s  entities  are  measured  using  the  currency  of  the 
primary  economic  environment 
in  which  the  entity 
operates. Financial statements are presented in Australian 
is  Funtastic  Limited’s  functional  and 
dollars,  which 
presentation currency. 

(ii)  Transactions and balances 
Foreign  currency  transactions  are  translated  into  the 
functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at 
the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and 
losses  resulting  from  the  settlement of  such  transactions   
and  from  the  translation  at  year-end  exchange  rates  of 
monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign 
currencies  are  recognised

(c)  Foreign currency translation (continued) 

(e)  Revenue (continued) 

(iii)  Group companies 
The results and financial position of all the Group entities, 
(none  of  which  has  the  currency  of  a  hyperinflationary 
economy), that have a functional currency different from 
into  the 
the  presentation  currency,  are  translated 
presentation currency as follows: 

  assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented 
are  translated  at  the  closing  rate  at  the  date  of  that 
balance sheet; 
income and expenses for each profit or loss presented 
are  translated  at  the  average  exchange  rates  (unless 
this is not a reasonable approximation of the

cumulative  effect  of  the  rates  prevailing  on  the 
transaction dates, in which case income and expenses 
are translated at the dates of the transactions); and 
  all resulting exchange  differences  are  recognised  as  a 

separate component of equity.  

On  consolidation,  exchange  differences  arising  from  the 
translation  of  any  net  investment in  foreign entities,  and 
of borrowings and other currency instruments designated 
as hedges of such investments, are taken to equity. When 
is  sold  or  borrowings  repaid  a  
a  foreign  operation 
proportionate  share  of  such  exchange  differences  are 
recognised in the profit or loss as part of the gain or loss 
on sale. 

Goodwill  and  fair  value  adjustments  arising  on  the 
acquisition  of  a  foreign  entity  are  treated  as  assets  and 
liabilities  of  the  foreign  entity  and  translated  at  the 
closing rate. 

Interest  income  is  recognised  on  a  time  proportionate 
basis using the effective interest rate method.  

Management  fee  revenue  is  recognised  in  accordance 
with the entitlement to fees for the management services 
provided and is brought to account on an accrual basis. 

(f)  Rental Income  

Rental  income  from  operating  leases  is  recognised  on  a 
straight-line  basis  over  the  term  of  the  relevant  lease.  
Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an 
operating lease  are added to  the  carrying amount  of  the 
leased  asset  and  recognised  on  a  straight-line  basis  over 
the lease term. 

(g)  Plant and Equipment 

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated 
depreciation  and  impairment.  Cost  includes  expenditure 
that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item.  

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line or diminishing 
value basis to write off the net cost of each item of plant 
and equipment over the shorter of its expected useful life 
and the lease term. Estimates of remaining useful lives are 
made  on  a  regular  basis  for  all  assets,  with  annual 
reassessments for major items. 

The cost of improvements to or on leasehold properties is 
amortised  over 
the 
improvement to the Group. The expected useful lives are 
as follows: 

the  estimated  useful 

life  of 

Plant and equipment: 

2.5 - 10 years 

Leasehold improvements:

(d)  Cash and cash equivalents 

(h)  Loans and receivables 

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  includes  cash  on  hand  and 
deposits  at  call  which  are  readily  convertible  to  cash  on 
hand and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in 
value.  Bank  overdrafts  are  shown  within  borrowings  in 
current liabilities in the balance sheet.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration 
received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated 
customer returns, discounts, rebates and GST paid.

41 

Trade,  loans  and  other  receivables,  are  measured  at 
amortised cost, less allowance for doubtful debts, rebates 
and settlement discounts, where appropriate. 

Collectability  of  trade  receivables  is  reviewed  on  an 
ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible 
are  written  off.  An  allowance  for  doubtful  receivables  is 
established  when  there  is  objective  evidence  that  the 
Group  will  not  be  able  to  collect  all  amounts  due 
according  to  the  original  terms  of  the  receivables.  The 
amount  of  the  allowance  is  recognised  in  the  profit  or 
loss. 

(i) 

Inventories 

Inventories  are  stated  at  the  lower  of  cost  and  net 
realisable value.  Costs are assigned to individual items of 
stock  on  the  basis  of  weighted  average  costs.  Net 
realisable value represents the estimated selling price less 
all  estimated costs  of  completion  and  costs  necessary  to 
make the sale.

Trade payables  

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services 
provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial

The  amounts  are  unsecured  and  usually  paid  within  30 
days of recognition. 

(k)  Goods and services tax  

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the 
amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:

(l) 

Leased Non-Current Assets 

A  distinction  is  made  between  finance  leases  which 
effectively  transfer  from  the 
lessee 
substantially  all  the  risks  and  benefits 
incidental  to 
ownership  of  leased  non-current  assets  (finance  leases), 
and  operating  leases  under  which  the  lessor  effectively 
retains substantially all such risks and benefits. 

lessor  to  the 

Finance  leases  are  capitalised  (Note  24).    A  leased  asset 
and  a  liability  are  established  at  the  lower  of  fair  value 
and the present value of minimum lease payments.  Lease 
payments are allocated between the principal component 
of  the  lease  liability  and  the  interest  expense,  so  as  to 
achieve  a  constant  rate  of  interest  on  the  remaining 
balance of the liability. 

The  leased  assets  are  amortised  on  a  straight  line  basis 
over  the  term  of  the  lease,  or  where  it  is  likely  that  the 
economic  entity  will  obtain  ownership  of  the  asset,  the 
life of the asset. Leased assets held at the reporting date 
are being amortised over five years  

Lease  payments  are  allocated  between 
interest 
(calculated  by  applying  the  interest  rate  implicit  in  the 
lease  to  the  outstanding  amount  of  the  liability)  and 
reduction of the liability. 

Operating lease payments are charged to the profit or loss 
account  on  a  straight  line  basis  over  the  period  of  the 
lease. 

42 

In  the  event  that  lease  incentives  are  received  to  enter 
into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a 
liability.  The  aggregate  benefits  of 
incentives  are 
recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-
line  basis  over  the  lease  term,  except  where  another 
systematic  basis  is  more  representative  of  the  time 
pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset 
are consumed. 

(m)  Share-based payments 

Share-based  compensation  benefits  are  provided  to 
employees via the Funtastic Executive Share Option Plan, 
Employee  Performance  Share  Rights  Plan  and  the 
Employee Share Loan Scheme. 

The  fair  value  of  options  and  performance  share  rights 
granted under the Funtastic Executive Share Option Plan, 
Funtastic  Employee  Performance  Share  Rights  Plan  and 
Employee  Share  Loan  Scheme 
is  recognised  as  an 
employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase 
in  equity.  The  fair  value  is  measured  at  grant  date  and 
recognised  over  the  period  during  which  the  employees 
become  unconditionally  entitled  to  the  options  (vesting 
period). 

The fair value at grant date is independently determined 
using an appropriate option pricing model that takes into 
account  the  exercise  price,  the  term  of  the  option,  the 
vesting  and  performance  criteria,  the  impact  of  dilution, 
the non-tradeable nature of the option, the share price at 
grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying 
share,  the  expected  dividend  yield,  total  shareholder 
performance  hurdles  and  the  risk-free  interest  rate  for 
the term of the option. 

The  fair  value  of  the  options,  performance  share  rights 
and  schemes  granted  excludes  the  impact  of  any  non-
market  vesting  conditions  (for  example,  profitability  and 
sales  growth  targets).  Non-market  vesting  conditions  are 
included in assumptions about the number of options that 
are  expected  to  become  exercisable.  At  each  balance 
sheet  date,  the  entity  revises its  estimate  of  the  number 
of  options  that  are expected  to  become  exercisable.  The  
employee  benefit  expense  recognised  each  period  takes 
into account the most recent estimate. 

Upon the exercise of options or performance share rights, 
the balance of the share-based payments reserve relating 
to those options is transferred to share capital. 

The  market  value  of  shares  issued  to  employees  for  no 
cash  consideration  under  the  employee  share  scheme  is 
recognised  as  an  employee  benefits  expense  with  a 
corresponding  increase  in  equity  when  the  employees 
become entitled to the shares.

the  Group  in  exchange  for  control  of  the  acquiree.  
Acquisition related costs are recognised in profit or loss as 
incurred. 

The  effective  interest  method  is  a  method  of  calculating 
the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating 
interest  expense  over  the  relevant  period.  The  effective 
interest  rate  is  the  rate  that  exactly  discounts  estimated 
future  cash  payments  through  the  expected  life  of  the 
financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period. 

(o)  Borrowing costs 

Borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the period 
in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs include: 

 

interest  on  bank  overdrafts  and  short-term  and  long-
term borrowings; 

(o)  Borrowing costs (continued) 

finance lease charges; and 

 
  certain  exchange  differences  arising  from  foreign 

currency borrowings.  

(p)  Employee benefits 

(i)  Wages and salaries and annual leave 
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees 
in  respect  of  wages  and  salaries,  annual  leave  and  long 
service leave where it is probable that settlement will be 
required and they are capable of being measured reliably. 

Liabilities  recognised  in  respect  of  short-term  employee 
benefits  expected  to  be  settled  within  12  months,  are 
measured at their nominal values using the remuneration 
rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.  

Liabilities  recognised  in  respect  of  employee  benefits 
which  are  not  expected  to  be  settled  within  12  months 
are measured at the present value of the estimated future 
cash  outflows  to  be  made  by  the  Group  in  respect  of 
services provided by employees up to reporting date. 

(ii)  Defined contribution plans 
Contributions  to  defined  contribution  superannuation 
plans are expensed when incurred. 

(iii)  Profit sharing and bonus plans 
Liabilities for profit sharing and bonus plans are expected 
to  be  settled within  12 months  and  are measured  at  the 
amounts expected to be paid when they are settled. 

(iv)  Employee benefit on-costs 
Employee  benefit  on-costs,  including  payroll  tax,  are 
recognised  and  included  in  employee  benefit  liabilities 
and  costs,  when  the  employee  benefits  to  which  they 
relate are recognised as liabilities. 

(q)  Business combinations 

Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted 
for  using  the  acquisition  method.  The  consideration  for 
each acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair 
values (at the date of exchange) of assets given, liabilities 
incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by  

43 

Where  applicable,  the  consideration  for  the  acquisition 
includes  any  asset  or  liability resulting  from  a  contingent 
consideration  arrangement,  measured  at  its  acquisition 
date fair value. Subsequent changes in such fair values are 
adjusted against the cost of acquisition where they qualify 
as  measurement  period  adjustments  (see  below).  All 
other subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent 
consideration  classified  as  an  asset  or 
liability  are 
accounted for in accordance with relevant Standards.  

Changes  in  the  fair  value  of  contingent  consideration 
classified as equity are not recognised. 

identifiable  assets, 

The  acquiree’s 
liabilities  and

contingent 
recognition  under  AASB  3(2008)  are  recognised  at  their 
fair value at the acquisition date, except that: 

liabilities  that  meet  the  conditions 

  deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets 
related 
to  employee  benefit  arrangements  are 
recognised  and  measured  in  accordance  with  AASB 
112 ‘Income Taxes’ and AASB 119 ‘Employee Benefits’ 
respectively; 
liabilities  or  equity 
instruments  related  to  the 
replacement  by  the  Group  of  an  acquiree’s  share-
based  payment  awards  are  measured  in  accordance 
with AASB 2 ‘Share-based Payment’; and 

 

  assets  (or  disposal  Groups)  that  are  classified  as  held 
for sale in accordance with AASB 5 ‘Non-current Assets 
Held  for  Sale  and  Discontinued  Operations’  are 
measured in accordance with that Standard. 

If  the  initial  accounting  for  a  business  combination  is 
incomplete  by  the  end  of  the  reporting  period  in  which 
the  combination  occurs,  the  Group  reports  provisional 
amounts  for  the  items  for  which  the  accounting  is 
incomplete.  Those  provisional  amounts  are  adjusted 
during the measurement period (see below), or additional 
assets  or 
liabilities  are  recognised,  to  reflect  new 
information  obtained  about  facts  and circumstances  that 
existed  as  of  the  acquisition  date  that,  if  known,  would 
have affected the amounts recognised as of that date. 
The  measurement  period  is  the  period  from  the  date  of 
acquisition  to  the  date  the  Group  obtains  complete 
information about facts and circumstances that existed as 
of  the  acquisition  date,  and  is  subject  to  a  maximum  of 
one year. 

Where  settlement  of  any  part  of  cash  consideration  is 
deferred,  the  amounts  payable 
in  the  future  are 
discounted  to  their  present  value  as  at  the  date  of 
exchange.  The  discount  rate  used 
is  the  entity’s 
incremental  borrowing  rate,  being  the  rate  at  which  a 
similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent 
financier under comparable terms and conditions.

(s)  Goodwill 

Goodwill  arising  in  a  business  combination  is  recognised 
as  an  asset  at  the  date  that  control  is  acquired  (the 
acquisition  date).  Goodwill  is  measured  as  the  excess  of 
the  sum  of  the  consideration  transferred,  the  amount  of 
any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair 
value  of  the  acquirer’s  previously  held  equity  interest  in 
the  acquiree (if  any)  over  the  net  of the  acquisition  date 
amounts  of  the  identifiable  assets  acquired  and  the 
liabilities assumed. 

If,  after  reassessment,  the  Group’s  interest  in  the  fair 
value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets exceeds the 
sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any 
non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value 
of  the  acquirer’s  previously  held  equity  interest  in  the 
acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in 
profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain. 

Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment 
at least annually.  For the purpose of impairment testing, 
goodwill 
is  allocated  to  each  of  the  Group’s  cash 
generating  units  (CGUs),  or  groups  of  CGUs,  expected  to 
benefit  from  the  synergies  of  the  business  combination. 
CGUs  (or  groups  of  CGUs)  to  which  goodwill  has  been  
allocated  are  tested  for  impairment  annually,  or  more 
frequently  if  events  or  changes  in  circumstances indicate 
that goodwill might be impaired. 

If the recoverable amount of the CGU (or group of CGUs) 
is less than the carrying amount of the CGU (or groups of 
CGUs), the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the 
carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU (or 
groups of CGUs) and then to the other assets of the CGU 
(or groups of CGUs) pro-rata on the basis of the carrying 
amount of each asset in the CGU (or groups of CGUs). An 
impairment loss recognised for goodwill is recognised  

44 

immediately  in  profit  or  loss  and  is  not  reversed  in 
subsequent periods. 

On disposal of an operation within a CGU, the attributable 
amount  of  goodwill  is  included  in  the  determination  of 
the profit or loss on disposal of the operation.  

(t)  Derivative financial instruments  

The  Group  enters  into  a  variety  of  derivative  financial 
instruments  to  manage  its  exposure  to  interest  rate  and 
foreign  exchange  rate  risk,  including  forward  contracts 
comprising  foreign  exchange  forward  contracts  and 
options  and 
interest  rate  swaps.  Further  details  of 
derivative  financial  instruments  are  disclosed  in  Note  34 
to the financial statements.

Group  designates  certain  derivatives  as  either  hedges  of

commitments  (fair  value  hedges),  or  hedges  of  highly 
probable  forecast  transactions  or  hedges  of  foreign 
currency risk of firm commitments (cash flow hedges). 

The  fair  value  of  hedging  derivatives  is  classified  as  a 
current asset or current liability if the remaining maturity 
of the hedge relationship is less than 12 months and as a 
non-current  asset  or  a  non-current 
if  the 
remaining maturity of the hedge relationship is more than

Amounts  accumulated  in  equity  are  recycled  in  the 
statement  of  profit  or  loss  in  the  periods  when  the 
hedged  item  will  affect  profit  or  loss  (for  instance  when 
the  forecast  sale  that  is  hedged  takes  place).  However, 
when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the 
recognition  of  a  non-financial  asset 
(for  example, 
inventory) or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses 
previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity 
and  included  in  the  measurement  of  the  initial  cost  or 
carrying amount of the asset or liability.

is  sold  or 
When  a  hedging 
terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria 
for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing 
in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised 
when  the  forecast transaction is  ultimately  recognised in 
the  statement  of  profit  or 
loss.  When  a  forecast 
transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative 
gain  or  loss  that  was  reported  in  equity  is  immediately 
transferred to the statement of profit or loss. 

(u)  Financial assets 

All  financial  assets  are  recognised  and  derecognised  on 
trade  date  where  the  purchase  or  sale  of  the  financial 
asset is under a contract which terms require delivery of 
the  investment  within  the  timeframe  established  by  the 
market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, 
plus  transaction  costs,  except  for  those  financial  assets 
classified as fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) which 
are initially measured at fair value. 

Financial  assets  are  classified  as  at  FVTPL  when  the 
financial asset is either held for trading or it is designated 
as  at  FVTPL.  A  financial  asset  is  classified  as  held  for 
trading if: 

 

it  has  been  acquired  principally  for  the  purpose  of 
selling it in the near term; or 

financial 

  on  initial  recognition  it  is  part  of  a  portfolio  of 
identified 
the  Group 
instruments 
manages  together  and  has  a  recent  actual  pattern  of 
short-term profit-taking; or 
it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as 
a hedging instrument. 

that 

 

Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any 
gains  or  losses  arising  on  re-measurement  recognised  in 
profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or 
loss  incorporates  any  dividend  or  interest  earned  on  the 
financial  asset.  Fair  value  is  determined  in  the  manner 
described in Note 34. 

(i) Impairment of financial assets 
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment 
at each balance sheet date. Financial assets are impaired 
where there is objective evidence that as a result of one 
or more events that occurred after the initial recognition 
of  the  financial  asset  the  estimated  future  cash  flows  of 
the  investment  have  been  impacted.  For  financial  assets 
carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment  

45 

is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and 
the  present  value  of  estimated  future  cash  flows, 
discounted at the original effective interest rate. 

The  carrying  amount  of  the  financial  asset  is  reduced  by 
the  impairment  loss  directly  for  all  financial  assets  with 
the  exception  of  trade  receivables  where  the  carrying 
amount  is  reduced  through  the  use  of  an  allowance 
account.  When  a  trade  receivable  is  uncollectible,  it  is 
written  off  against  the  allowance  account.  Subsequent 
recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited 
to profit or loss.  

If in a subsequent period the amount of impairment loss 
decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to 
an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, 
the  previously  recognised  impairment  loss  is  reversed 
through profit or loss to the extent the carrying amount of 
the investment at the date of the impairment is reversed 
does  not  exceed  what  the  amortised  cost  would  have 
been had the impairment not been recognised. 

(v)  Financial instruments issued by the Group 

(i)  Equity instruments 
Equity 
instruments  are  classified  as  either  financial 
liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of 
the contractual arrangement. Transaction costs arising on 
the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in 
contributed equity. 

(ii)  Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss 
Financial liabilities  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  are 
stated  at  fair  value,  with  any  resultant  gain  or  loss 
recognised 
loss 
recognised in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid 
on  the  financial  liability.  Fair  value  is  determined  in  the 
manner set out in Note 34. 

loss.  The  net  gain  or 

in  profit  or 

(iii)   Other financial liabilities 
Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are  
initially  measured  at  fair  value  net  of  transaction  costs. 
Other  financial  liabilities  are  subsequently  measured  at 
amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  method,  with 
interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis. 

The  effective  interest  method  is  a  method  of  calculating 
the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating 
interest  expense  over  the  relevant  period.  The  effective 
interest  rate  is  the  rate  that  exactly  discounts  estimated 
future  cash  payments  through  the  expected  life  of  the 
financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period. 

(w)  Provisions 

Provisions  are  recognised  when  the Group  has  a  present 
obligation  (legal  or  constructive)  as  a  result  of  a  past 
event,  it  is  probable  that  the  Group  will  be  required  to 
settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made 
of the amount of the obligation. 

 
 
Notes to the Financial Statements 31 July 2014 

(w)  Provisions (continued) 

The  amount  recognised  as  a  provision  is  a  best  estimate 
of  the  consideration  required  to  settle  the  present 
obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks 
and  uncertainties  surrounding  the  obligation.  Where  a 
provision  is  measured  using  the  cash  flows  estimated  to 
settle  the  present  obligations,  its  carrying  amount  is  the 
present value of those cash flows.  

When  some  or  all  of  the  economic  benefits  required  to 
settle  a  provision  are  expected  to  be  recovered  from  a 
third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is 
virtually  certain  that  recovery  will  be  received  and  the 
amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. 

A  restructuring  provision  is  recognised  when  the  Group 
has developed a detailed formal plan for the restructuring 
and has raised a valid expectation in those affected that it 
will  carry  out  the  restructuring  by  starting  to  implement 
the plan or announcing its main features to those affected 
by  it.  The  measurement  of  a  restructuring  provision 
includes  only  the  direct  expenditures  arising  from  the 
restructuring,  which  are  those  amounts  that  are  both 
necessarily  entailed  by  the  restructuring  and  not 
associated with the ongoing activities of the entity. 

(x)  Onerous contracts 

The  Group  enters 
into  royalty  contracts  with  key 
suppliers.  The  terms  of  the  royalty  agreements  require 
minimum levels  of  royalty  payments  to  be  offset  against 
the  minimum  guarantees  received  at  the  start  of  the 
contract.  An  onerous  contract  is  deemed  to  exist  for  the 
Group if, after calculating the net contribution relating to 
the  products  sold  under  the  specific  contract,  there  is  a 
shortfall between the minimum guarantee and the actual 
royalty  derived  (or  forecast  to  be  derived  in  future 
periods)  from  the  reported  sales.  Net  contribution  is 
calculated  after  taking  into  account  net  sales  revenue, 
cost  of  goods  sold,  applicable  royalties  and  direct  selling 
costs.  If  the  royalty  shortfall  cannot  be  recovered  from 
the  resulting  net  contribution  a  provision  for  onerous 
contracts is made through profit or loss. 

(y) 

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets (other 
than goodwill) 

At  each  reporting  date,  the  Group  reviews  the  carrying 
amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine 
whether  there  is  any  indication  that  those  assets  have 
suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, 
the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order 
to  determine  the  extent  of  the  impairment  loss  (if  any). 
Where  the  asset  does  not  generate  cash  flows  that  are 
independent  from  other  assets,  the Group estimates  the 
recoverable  amount  of  the  CGU  to  which  the  asset 
belongs.  Where  a  reasonable  and  consistent  basis  of 
allocation  can  be  identified,  corporate  assets  are  also 
allocated  to 
individual  CGU,  or  otherwise  they  are 
allocated  to  the  smallest  group  of  CGU  for  which  a 
reasonable  and  consistent  allocation  basis  can  be 
identified. 

(y) 

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets (other 
than goodwill) (continued) 

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less cost to 
sell  and  value  in  use.  In  assessing  value  in  use,  the 
estimated  future  cash  flows  are  discounted  to  their 
present  value  using  a  pre-tax  discount  rate  that  reflects 
current  market  assessments  of  the  time  value  of  money 
and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates 
of  future  cash  flows  have  not  been  adjusted.  If  the 
recoverable  amount  of  an  asset (or  CGU) is  estimated  to 
be  less  than  its carrying  amount,  the  carrying  amount  of 
the  asset  (or  CGU)  is reduced  to  its recoverable  amount. 
An impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit 
and loss. 

Where  an  impairment  loss  subsequently  reverses,  the 
carrying  amount  of  the  asset  (CGU)  is  increased  to  the 
revised  estimate  of  its  recoverable  amount,  but  only  to 
the  extent  that  the  increased  carrying  amount  does  not 
exceed  the  carrying  amount  that  would  have  been 
determined  had  no  impairment  loss  been  recognised  for 
the asset (CGU) in prior years. 

(z)  Discontinued operations 

A  discontinued  operation  is  a  component  of  the Group’s 
business,  the  operations  and cash  flows  of  which can  be 
clearly  distinguished  from  the  rest  of  the  Group  and 
which: 
  represents  a  separate  major 
geographical area of operations; 
is  part  of  a  single  co-ordinated  plan  to  dispose  of  a 
separate major line of business or geographical area of 
operations; or  
is  a  subsidiary  acquired  exclusively  with  a  view  to re-
sale. 

line  of  business  or 

 

 

Classification  as  a  discontinued  operation  occurs  upon 
disposal  or  when  the  operation  meets  the  criteria  to  be 
classified as held-for-sale, if earlier. 

When  an  operation 
is  classified  as  a  discontinued 
operation,  the  comparative  statement  of  profit  or  loss 
and other comprehensive income is re-presented as if the 
operation  had  been  discontinued  from  the  start  of  the 
comparative year. 

The  assets  or  disposal  group,  are  measured  at  the  lower 
of  their  carrying  amount  and  fair  value  less  costs  to  sell. 
Any impairment loss on a disposal group, is first allocated 
to goodwill, and then to remaining assets and liabilities on 
a  pro-rata  basis,  except  that  no  loss  is  allocated  to 
inventories, financial assets and deferred tax assets which 
continue to be measured in accordance with the Group’s 
other accounting policies. Gains or losses on disposal are 
recognised in profit or loss.

Notes to the Financial Statements 31 July 2014 

(aa)  Determination of fair values 

A  number  of  the  Group’s  accounting  policies  and 
disclosures  require  the  determination  of  fair  value,  for 
both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair 
values  have  been  determined  for  measurement  and/or 
disclosure  purposes,  based  on  the  methods  as  stated 
below.  When  applicable,  further  information  about  the 
assumptions made  in  determining fair  values is  disclosed 
in the notes specific to that asset or liability. 

In  estimating  the  fair  value  of  an  asset  or  liability,  the 
Group  uses  market  observable  data  to  the  extent  it  is 
available.  Where  it  is  not  available,  the  Group  engages 
third party qualified valuers to perform the valuation. 

The  fair  value  of  the  asset  or  liability  is  the  price  that 
would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the 
liability.  

An  entity  shall  use  valuation  techniques  that  are 
appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient 
data  are  available  to  measure  fair  value,  maximising  the 
use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use 
of unobservable inputs.  

To  increase  consistency  and  comparability  in  fair  value 
measurements and related disclosures, the Company has 
adopted  the  fair  value  hierarchy  established  in  AASB  13 
‘Fair    Value  Measurement’  that  categorises  fair  value 
measurement into three levels: 

  Level  1  fair  value  measurements  are  those  derived 
from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for 
identical assets or liabilities. 

  Level  2  fair  value  measurements  are  those  derived 
from  inputs  other  than  quoted  prices  included  within 
Level  1  that  are  observable  for  the  asset  or  liability, 
either  directly  (ie.  as  prices)  or  indirectly  (ie.  derived 
from prices). 

  Level  3  fair  value  measurements  are  those  derived 
from  valuation  techniques  that include  inputs  for  the 
asset  or  liability  that  are  not  based  on  observable 
market data (unobservable inputs). 

Valuation  techniques  used  to measure fair  value  shall  be 
applied  consistently.  However,  a  change  in  a  valuation 
technique  or its  application (eg  a change  in  its  weighting 
when multiple valuation techniques are used or a change 
in  an  adjustment  applied  to  a  valuation  technique)  is 
appropriate if the change results in a measurement that is 
equally  or  more  representative  of  fair  value  in  the 
circumstances.

Notes to the Financial Statements 31 July 2014 

NOTE 3:  

Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty 

In  the  application  of  the  Group’s  accounting  policies,  which  are  described  in  Note  2,  the  directors  are  required  to  make 
judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  about  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  that  are  not  readily  apparent 
from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are 
considered to be relevant.  Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The  estimates  and  underlying  assumptions  are  reviewed  on  an  ongoing  basis.  Revisions  to  accounting  estimates  are 
recognised  in  the  period  in  which  the  estimate  is  revised  if  the  revision  affects  only  that  period,  or  in  the  period  of  the 
revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. 

Key sources of estimation uncertainty  

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of 
the  reporting  period,  that  have  a  significant  risk  of  causing  a  material  adjustment  to  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and 
liabilities within the next financial year. 

i) Impairment of goodwill in continuing business segments 
The  Group  tests  annually  or  when impairment  indicators  are identified,  whether goodwill  has  suffered  any  impairment,  in 
accordance  with  the  accounting  policy.  The  recoverable  amount  of  the  Funtastic  Australia  and  Funtastic  Brands  cash-
generating units have been determined based on fair value less cost to sell calculations. The Madman CGU was disposed of 
during the financial year. These calculations require the use of assumptions.  A significant change to these assumptions may 
affect the recoverable amount of the cash generating units. 

ii) Recoverability of prepaid and committed royalty and license agreements 
In order to secure product distribution rights the Group is required to prepay for royalties relating to licensed products. The 
Group reviews the recoverability of prepaid royalty and license agreements (Note 12) on an annual basis. The Group takes 
into account current and projected market sell through in assessing the recoverability of royalty commitments. 

iii) Settlement of license audits 
Product  license  agreements  contain  audit  rights  for  licensors.    At  year  end  in  respect  of  licensor  audits  the  Group  has 
provided for the best estimate of royalty payable. The final amounts payable will be subject to negotiation with the licensor 
and may differ to the amounts provided for. 

iv) Recoverability of inventory 
The Group periodically assesses whether the net realisable value (NRV) of its inventories is reasonable in light of changing 
market  conditions,  particularly  the  recent  softening  of  the  retail  industry.  Whilst  the Group  has  provided  to  recognise  the 
best  estimate  for  the  amount  for  which  its  inventory  will  be  realised,  the  final  amounts  will  be  subject  to  the  prevailing 
market conditions and may differ from the amounts provided for. 

v) Taxation losses recognised as asset  
The Group has recognised deferred tax asset in respect to revenue tax losses of approximately 2 years future profits based on 
the  expected  future  taxable  income.  The  final  amount  recoverable  will  depend  on  the  losses  being  available  under  the 
‘continuity of ownership test’ and the Group achieving this future taxable income.  Refer to Note 8 for details of tax losses 
taken up as at 31 July 2014. 

vi) Discontinued operations 
On 31 January 2014, the operation of Madman Entertainment became a ‘discontinued operation’ for the first time as a result 
of management’s plan to sell the business. On 31 July 2014, the Company entered into and completed, a sale agreement to 
dispose of Madman Entertainment. Consequently, Madman Entertainment ceased to be a subsidiary of the Company at 31 
July 2014. 

Included in Other debtors is an amount of $3.8m relating to the working capital adjustment due from the Purchaser on final 
settlement in respect to the Madman sale.

Unrecognised taxable temporary differences associated with investments and interests 
Under the tax law, the taxable profit made by a tax-consolidated group in relation to an entity leaving the group depends on 
a range of factors, including the tax values and/or carrying values of the assets and liabilities of the leaving entities, which 
vary  in  line  with  the  transactions  and  events  recognised  in  each  entity.  The  taxable  profit  or  loss  ultimately made on  any 
disposal of the investments within the tax-consolidated group will therefore depend upon when each entity leave the tax-
consolidated group and the assets and liabilities that the leaving entity holds at that time. 

The Group considers the effects of entities entering or leaving the tax-consolidate group to be a change of tax status that is 
only  recognised  when  those  events  occur.  As  a  result  temporary  differences  and  deferred  tax  liabilities  have  not  been 
measured or recognised in relation to investments remaining within the tax-consolidated group. 

Tax consolidation 

(i) Relevance of tax consolidation to the Group 

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities formed a tax-consolidated Group with effect from 1 January 
2003 and are therefore taxed as a single entity from that date. The head entity within the tax-consolidated Group is Funtastic 
Limited. The members of the tax-consolidated Group are identified in Note 32. 

(ii) Nature of tax funding arrangement and tax sharing agreement 

Entities within the tax-consolidated Group have entered into a tax funding arrangement and a tax sharing agreement with 
the  head  entity.  Under  the  terms  of  the  tax  funding  arrangement,  Funtastic  Limited  and  each  of  the  entities  in  the  tax-
consolidated Group have agreed to pay a tax equivalent payment to or from the head entity, based on the current tax liability 
or current tax asset of the entity. Such amounts are reflected in amounts receivable from or payable to the other entities in 
the tax consolidated Group. 

The tax sharing agreement entered into between members of the tax-consolidated Group provide for the determination of 
the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations or if 
an entity should leave the tax consolidated Group. The effect of the tax sharing agreement is that each member’s liability for

NOTE 8: 

Income tax (continued) 

Tax consolidation (continued) 

tax  payable  by  the  tax  consolidated  Group  is  limited  to  the  amount  payable  to  the  head  entity  under  the  tax  funding 
arrangement. 

Tax Losses 

As  at  31  July  2014  the  Australian  Group  has  carried  forward  revenue  tax  losses  of  approximately  $57,332,000  (2013: 
$47,655,000).  As  at  31  July  2014  a  deferred  tax  asset  of  $10,161,000  (2013:  $10,161,000)  has  been  booked  relating  to 
revenue  tax  losses  of  $33,873,000  (2013:  $33,873,000).  Following  the  assessment  of  the  probability  of  recovery,  having 
considered future taxable income and current tax legislation with respect to carrying forward revenue tax losses, the balance 
of  tax  losses  available  at  31  July  2014  of  $23,463,000  has  not  been  booked  as  a  deferred  tax  asset  in  these  financial 
statements. 

The utilisation of deferred tax asset is dependent on the Company generating future taxable profits in excess of the profits 
arising from the reversal of existing temporary differences. 

The directors are of the opinion that this is a reasonable position to maintain as the Company has forecast taxable profits 
over the next three financial years which will utilise these assets.

(i)The average credit period on sales of goods is 56 days (2013: 72 days). No interest is charged on the trade receivables. 

The Group has provided for any receivable considered uncollectible and therefore deemed to be not recoverable. 

Included in the Group’s trade receivable balance are debtors with a carrying amount of $2,797,288 (2013: $3,482,386) which are past due 
at  the  reporting  date  for  which the  Group  has  not provided  as  there  has  not been  a  significant  change  in  credit  quality  and  the Group 
believes the amounts are recoverable.

The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.  

The Group reviews trade debtors on an ongoing basis and makes a provision against specific debtors based on management’s 
assessment of the debtors’ ability to settle the debt. 

The  Group  reviews  the  provision  for  credit  notes,  rebates  and  settlement  discounts  on  an  ongoing  basis  and  makes 
allowances for individual customers based on historical sales, trading terms and expected returns, settlement discounts and

In  determining  the  recoverability  of  a  trade  receivable  the  Group  considers  any  change  in  the  credit  quality  of  the  trade 
receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date. The concentration of credit risk is limited due 
to the customer base being large and unrelated.  Accordingly, the directors believe that there is no further credit provision 
required in excess of the allowance for doubtful debts.

The  Funtastic  Limited  consolidated  entity  has  two  cash  generating  units  (CGU’s);  Funtastic  Australia  and  Funtastic  Brands, 
with  carrying  amounts  of  goodwill  and  intangible  assets  identified  in  each  CGU.  The  Madman  Entertainment  CGU  was 
disposed of during the year. Refer to Note 5. 

Each  CGU  is  required  to  perform  an  impairment  test  annually  on  goodwill  and  other  indefinite  life  intangible  assets  as 
required by AASB 136. The recoverable amounts of the CGU’s and related goodwill and intangibles were determined having 
regard to the fair value less cost of disposal approach.  

The  fair  value  less  cost  of  disposal  was  considered more  appropriate  than  value  in  use  calculation  approach  used  in  prior 
reporting  periods  for  each  CGU.  The  rationale  for  the  change  is  due  to  the  significant  changes  in  the  management  and 
operations of the Company following the sale of Madman Entertainment, the Company has restructured the business and 
continues to expand support operations out of Hong Kong as well as international markets. Fair value less cost of disposal is 
the  price  that  would  be  received  to  sell  an  asset  in  the  ordinary  transaction  between  market  participants  at  the 
measurement date less incremental costs to sell. 

The  fair  value  less  cost  of  disposal  approach  using  maintainable  earnings  assumes  the  CGU’s  will  benefit  from  prior 
investment, generating improved earnings across acquired brands, and intellectual property required to expand markets for 
the Company’s products.  

Funtastic Australia 

In determining EBITDA multiple of 10.5 for Funtastic Australia CGU, consideration was given to: 

  external sources in regard to trading multiples of comparable entities with significant branding in the Australian market; 
  exposure of own brands internationally; and 
  comparative entities which have strong agency brands that were wholesaled into the Australian market.

NOTE 15:  Non-current assets – Goodwill (continued) 

Cash generating unit (continued) 

Funtastic Australia (continued) 

To calculate the fair value less cost of disposal, an amount of 1.5% was used in estimating the costs associated with disposing 
of the Funtastic Australia CGU. 

Maintainable  earnings  for  the  Funtastic  Australia  CGU  are  based  on  normalised  sales  and  gross  margins  for  2015.  Sales 
projected are consistent with 2014 and margins used are consistent with those achieved in 2012 and 2013. 

During the year neither goodwill nor intangibles were impaired at the end of the reporting period. The breakeven multiple is 
8.1. Sensitivity analysis on reasonably possible changes in assumptions did not result in an outcome where impairment would 
be  required.  Based  on  this  assessment,  the  Directors  are  of  the  opinion  that  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  Funtastic 
Australia’s CGU, goodwill and intangibles currently exceed their carrying values. 

Funtastic Brands 

In determining EBITDA multiple of 11.3 for Funtastic Brands CGU, consideration was given to: 

  external sources in regard to trading multiples of comparable entities with own brands engaged in international markets; 
  entities with manufacturing capabilities that service international markets with own products; and 
  Comparable entities that are of a similar size to Funtastic were used. 

To calculate the fair value less cost of disposal, an amount of 1.5% was used in estimating the costs associated with disposing 
of the Funtastic Brands CGU. 

Maintainable earnings for the Funtastic Brands CGU are based on normalised sales and gross margins for 2015. Sales growth 
being consistent with those achieved in 2013 and 2014.  

During the year neither goodwill nor intangibles were impaired at the end of the reporting period. The breakeven multiple is 
4.0. Sensitivity analysis on reasonably possible changes in assumptions did not result in an outcome where impairment would 
be required. Based on this assessment, the Directors are of the opinion that the recoverable amount of the Funtastic Brand’s 
CGU, goodwill and intangibles currently exceed their carrying values.

Brand  names  acquired  and  separately  identified  as  part  of  the  acquisition  of  Mike  &  Jack  confectionery  in  May  2006.  The  Group 
intends to continue the use of the brand names for an indefinite period and are therefore not amortised but are subject to an annual 
test for impairment. The key assumptions used in the fair value less cost to sell calculations are stated in Note 15. 

The  amortisation  expense  has  been  included  in  the  line  item  ‘amortisation’  in  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other 
comprehensive income.  Useful lives used in the calculation of amortisation of computer software costs are between 3 and 7 years.  
Distribution agreements have useful lives in the range of 1-3 years. 

(iii)  Chill Factor trademarks and patents were acquired on 31 July 2013.  The useful lives have been assessed as being between 10-15 

years for trademarks and 20 years for patents.

The  Trade  finance,  Bill finance  and  Debtors  finance  facilities  are  secured  by  a first  ranking registered mortgage  debenture 
over all assets and undertakings of the Group. See Note 17 
On 31 July 2014 the overall facilities were extended to 31 October 2015. Due to the nature of the debtor and trade finance 
facilities, amounts are continually repaid and redrawn based on normal trade debtor and trade creditor terms.  Amounts due 
at 31 July 2014 in respect of these facilities have been disclosed as current borrowings in the statement of financial position.

Financing Arrangements  
During 2014 the Group’s senior lender, National Australia Bank, agreed to vary the terms of the existing facilities agreement 
to vary the timing of the 2014/2015 borrowing repayments.  During November 2013 the Group negotiated an extension to 
the existing facilities to 31 October 2015. 

The current interest rates are 5.78% on the debtors finance facility, 7.49% on the trade finance facility and 5.97% on the bill 
finance facility (2013: 8.49%, 7.67% and 6.41% respectively) 

Financing Arrangements – Controlled Entities 
All  facilities  are  secured  by  a  first  ranking  mortgage  debenture  of  the  Group.  Refer  to  Note  34  Financial  Instruments  for

NOTE 34: 

Financial Instruments 

Capital risk management 
The  Group  manages  its  capital  to  ensure  that  entities  in  the  Group  will  be  able  to  continue  as  a  going  concern  while 
maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. 

The  capital  structure  of  the  Group  consists  of  debt,  which  comprises  the  borrowings  detailed  in  Note  19,  cash  and  cash 
equivalents  and  equity  attributable  to  equity  holders  of  the  parent,  comprising  issued  capital,  accumulated  losses  and 
reserves as disclosed in Notes 25, 26 and 27 respectively. 

The Board reviews the capital structure on a regular basis. As part of this review the cost of capital and the risks associated 
with each class of capital is considered. The Group balances its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, 
new share issues and share buy-backs as well as the issue of new debt and the repayment of debt. 

During the year ended 31 July 2014, the Company received waivers in relation to a number of breaches to covenants based 
on  the  pre-existing  business,  including  Madman  Entertainment.  The  Company  completed  the  sale  on  31  July  2014  and 
negotiated with its external financiers new covenants as at this date .   

Significant accounting policies 
Details  of  significant  accounting  policies  and  methods  adopted,  including  the  criteria  for  recognition,  the  basis  of 
measurement  and  the  basis  on  which  income  and  expenses  are  recognised,  in  respect  of  each  class  of  financial  asset, 
financial  liability  and equity  instrument  are  disclosed in  Note  2  to  the financial  statements.  These policies  were consistent 
throughout the current year and the previous year.

Financial risk management objectives 
The Group’s finance function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial 
markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal risk reports which 
analyse exposures by degree and magnitude of risk. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk), 
credit risk and liquidity risk. 

The Group seeks to minimise the effects of these risks, by using various financial instruments to hedge these exposures. The 
use of financial instruments is governed by the Group’s policies approved by the Board of Directors, which provide written 
principles on foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of financial derivatives and non-derivative financial 
instruments and the investment of excess liquidity.  

Compliance  with  policies  and  exposure  limits  is  reviewed  on  a  continual  basis.  The  Group  does  not  enter  into  any  trade 
financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. 

Market risk 
The  Group’s  activities  expose  it  primarily  to  the  financial  risks  of  changes  in  foreign  currency  exchange  rates  and  interest 
rates.  The  Group  enters  into  a  variety  of  derivative  financial  instruments  to  manage  its  exposure  to  interest  rate  risk  and 
foreign currency risk, including: 

  Foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the exchange rate risk arising on the import of goods denominated in US 

dollars; and 
Interest rate swaps to mitigate the risk of rising interest rates. 

 

At a Group level, market risk exposures are measured through sensitivity analysis and stress scenario analysis. 

In 2014, while there has been a recent depreciation of the Australian dollar against the US dollar, and falling variable interest 
rates  there  has  been  no  material  change  to  the  Group’s  exposure  to  market  risk  or  the  manner  in  which  it  manages  and 
measures the risk.

NOTE 34: 

Financial Instruments (continued) 

Foreign currency risk management 
Foreign currency risk refers to the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because 
of changes in foreign exchange rates.  The Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risk arises from the net investment in  the 
United States operations and the undertaking of certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies.  

The carrying amount of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the reporting 
date is as follows:

The Group is mainly exposed to the US dollar, Euro and the HK dollar. The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 
10% increase and decrease in the Australian dollar against the relevant foreign currencies. 10% is the sensitivity rate which 
represents management’s assessment of the possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only 
outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change 
in foreign currency rates.  A positive number indicates an increase in profit or loss where the Australian dollar strengthens 
against the respective currency. For a weakening of the Australian dollar against the respective currency there would be an 
equal  and  opposite  impact  on  profit  or  loss  and  the  balances  below  would  be  equal  and  opposite.    A  positive  number 
indicates  an  increase  in  other  equity  where  the  Australian  dollar  weakens  against  the  respective  currency.  For  a 
strengthening of the Australian dollar against the respective currency there would be an equal and opposite impact on other 
equity and the balances below would be negative.

The  Group  has  entered  into  contracts  to  purchase  inventory  from  overseas  suppliers.  These  forward  foreign  exchange 
contracts  are  for  terms  not  exceeding  12  months  to  hedge  the  exchange  rate  risk  arising  from  these  anticipated  future 
purchases, which are designated into cash flow hedges. 

At balance date these purchase contracts were liabilities of the Group of $44,000 (2013: $1,352,000 asset). 

During the year ended 31 July 2014 a gain on hedging instruments for the Group of $983,000 (31 July 2013: gain $701,000) 
has been brought to account in other current financial assets (Note 13) and liabilities (Note 23). An amount, net of tax, was 
transferred to equity (Note 27). It is anticipated these purchases will take place during the year to 31 July 2015 at which stage 
the amount deferred in equity will be included in the carrying amount of the finished goods inventory. It is anticipated that 
the finished goods inventory will be sold within 12 months after purchase at which stage the amount deferred in equity will 
impact profit or loss.   

Interest rate risk management 
Interest rate risk refers to the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of 
changes in market  interest rates.  The Group  is  exposed  to  interest  rate  risk  as  it borrows  funds  at  both  fixed  and  floating 
interest rates. The risk is managed by the use of interest rate swap contracts. Hedging activities are evaluated regularly to 
align with interest rate views and defined risk appetite, ensuring optimal hedging strategies are applied, by either positioning 
the statement of financial position or protecting interest expense through different interest rate cycles. 

The Group’s exposure to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management 
section below. 

Interest rate sensitivity 
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates to the Group at the reporting 
date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting 
period. The Group considers the likelihood of a 50 basis point increase or a 50 basis point decrease to be reasonable when 
reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel, as this represents management’s best estimate of the 
possible change in interest rates. 

At reporting date, if interest rates had been 50 basis points higher or 50 basis points lower and all other variables were held 
constant, the Group’s: 

  Net  profit  after  taxation  would  increase/(decrease)  by  $386,000/($386,000)  respectively  (2013:  $405,000/($405,000)). 

This is mainly due to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings; and 

  Equity would increase by $28,000/$23,000 (2013: $220,000/($30,000) increase/(decrease), respectively).  This is due to 

the Group’s interest rate swap entered into on 4 February 2013.

Notes to the Financial Statements 31 July 2014 

NOTE 34: 

Financial Instruments (continued) 

Interest Rate Swap Contracts 
Bank loans of the Group currently bear an  average variable interest rate of 6.82% (2013: 7.37%). It is the Group’s policy to 
protect part of the loans from exposure to increasing interest rates.  Accordingly, the Group has entered into an interest rate 
swap contract under which it is obliged to receive interest at variable rates and to pay interest at fixed rates. The contract is 
settled on a net basis and the net amount receivable or payable at the reporting date is included in financial assets/liabilities. 

The floating rate on the interest rate swap is the Australian bank bill swap rate (BBSW).  

The  contract  requires  settlement  of  net  interest  receivable  or  payable  quarterly.  The  settlement  dates  coincide  with  the 
dates on which interest is payable on the underlying debt. 

The  swap  currently  in  place  covers  73%  of  the  total  debt  outstanding  with  its  senior  lender  and  is  timed  to  expire  on  31 
October 2014 (2013: swap in place covered 60% of the long term loan principal outstanding). The fixed interest rate is 4.02% 
(2013: 4.02%) and the variable rate is the bank bill rate of the term of the underlying bill which at balance date was 2.71% 
(2013: 2.69%). 

As at 31 July 2014, the notional principal amounts and the periods of expiry of the interest rate swap contracts for the Group 
were as follows:

The interest rate swap contract exchanging floating rate interest amounts for fixed rate interest amounts is designated as a 
cash flow hedge in order to reduce the Group’s cash flow exposure resulting from variable interest rates on borrowings. The 
interest  rate  swap  and  the  interest  payments  on  the  loan  occur  simultaneously  and  the  amount  deferred  in  equity  is 
recognised in profit or loss over the loan period. 

Credit risk management 
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the 
Group.  The  Group  has  adopted  a  policy  of  only  dealing  with  creditworthy  counterparties.  The  Group’s  exposure  and  the 
credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread 
amongst approved counterparties. 

Trade  receivables  consist  of  a  large  number  of  customers  spread  across  diverse  industries.  Ongoing  credit  evaluation  is 
performed  on  the  financial  condition  of  accounts  receivable  and,  where  appropriate,  credit  guarantee  insurance  is 
purchased.  

The Group has a credit risk exposure to a small number of major ASX listed corporations for which credit guarantee insurance 
is not purchased. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of these accounts receivable.  

The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowance for losses, represents the 
Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk. 

Liquidity risk management 
Ultimate  responsibility  for  liquidity  risk  management  rests  with  the  Board  of  Directors,  who  have  built  an  appropriate 
liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity 
management  requirements.  The  Group  manages  liquidity  risk  by  maintaining  adequate  reserves,  banking  facilities  and 
reserve borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of 
financial assets and liabilities.

NOTE 34: 

Financial Instruments (continued) 

Fair value of financial instruments 
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows: 

  The  fair  value  of  other  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  (excluding  derivative  instruments)  are  determined  in 
accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using prices from observable 
current market transactions; and  

  The  fair  value  of  derivative  instruments,  are  calculated  using  quoted  prices.  Where  such  prices  are  not  available, 
discounted  cash  flow  analysis  using  the  applicable  yield  curve  for  the  duration  of  the  instruments  for  non-optional 
derivatives and option pricing models for optional derivatives is used. 

The directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the 
financial statements approximates their fair values. 

Fair value measurements recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position 
Fair value measurements are discussed in Note 3 and in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

A scheme under which shares may be issued to executives was approved by a resolution of shareholders and directors of the 
company  on  2  August  2000.    Options  are  granted  under  the  plan  for  no  consideration.    Options  are  granted  over  varying 
periods and on conditions attributable to each issue of options.  The entitlements to the options are as soon as they become 
exercisable.    The  options  are  not  exercisable  until  certain  criteria  are  met.  Refer  to  the  Share  options/share  performance 
right plans of the Remuneration section of the Directors’ Report, for details. 

ESOP options are valued using a trinomial option pricing model. Options granted under the plan carry no dividend or voting 
rights. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share. 

The  exercise  price  of  options  is  based  on  the  weighted  average  price  at  which  the  company’s  shares  are  traded  on  the 
Australian  Stock  Exchange  during  the  five  days  immediately  before  the  options  are  granted.  Amounts  receivable  on  the 
exercise of options are recognised as share capital. 

No options were granted under the plan during the current financial year or preceding financial year. 

Fair value of options granted 
Fair  values  have  been  determined  in  accordance  with  AASB  2  ‘Share-based  Payments’  where  the  value  of  options  is 
determined at grant date and are included in remuneration on a proportionate basis from grant date to vesting date.

Employee Share Loan Scheme 
During the 2013 financial year, the Company established the Funtastic Employee Share Loan Scheme (ESLS).  

The Funtastic Employee Share Loan Scheme Trust (Trust) was established for the purpose of purchasing and holding shares 
on  behalf  of  participants  to  satisfy  exercises made  under  the  ESLS  operated  by  Funtastic.  Under  the ESLS,  an interest  free 
limited recourse loan to the value of the grant date issue price per share was granted to each participant. Each participant 
directs  Funtastic  to pay  the  loaned  amount  to  the  trustee of  the  Trust  and  the  trustee  to  use  the loan  amount  to  acquire 
shares on behalf of the participant.  

The loan is repayable by the participant when the options become exercisable, being after the vesting date and subject to the 
satisfaction of the vesting conditions. When the options are exercisable, and in the event that the balance of the loan is less 
than the estimated market value of shares that secure the loan less estimated transaction costs, the participant may request 
Funtastic to sell the shares on the ASX and that the proceeds received from the sale of those shares, less any costs incurred in 
connection with the sale and less the loan balance be remitted to the participant. 

In the event that the loan balance is greater than the sale proceeds, the participant may request Funtastic to transfer the 
shares which secure the loan to the participant provided that the participant remits any outstanding balance of the loan to 
Funtastic as repayment of the loan.  

In the event that an employee ceases employment with Funtastic, is entitled to vested shares and does not direct Funtastic 
to sell or transfer such shares to the participant, and the balance of the loan is greater than the estimated proceeds amount, 
Funtastic must buy back and cancel such shares with the consideration from the buyback being the full satisfaction of the 
then outstanding balance of the loan. The participant will have no further entitlements to or in respect of the shares.  

During  the  vesting  period,  dividends  paid  (less  the  estimated  net  tax  payable  on  such  dividends)  are  used  to  repay  the 
principal of the loan granted to the participant. Dividends of $0.05 per share or total of $11,000 were paid during the year, 
on 27 November 2013 (2013: $nil).  

The  scheme  is  treated  for  accounting  purposes  as  in  substance  options  and  therefore  the  ESLS  are  valued  using  a  Black 
Scholes option pricing model.  

The options are not exercisable until the service vesting condition is met and the only vesting condition is for participants to 
remain in employment until 1 January 2016. The expiry date of the options is on the date the employee ceases employment 
with Funtastic.

(i)The expiry date is the date the employee ceases employment with Funtastic whether vested or not. The options granted under the ESLS 
do not have an expiry date and can be exercised at any date after vesting conditions have been met 

(ii)The exercise price represents the issue price per share offered to participants upon invitation to participate in the ESLS. As part of the 
ESLS, an interest-free, limited recourse loan to each participant was offered for the purpose of acquiring shares in Funtastic. Further details 
on the loan are set out above. Dividends paid or payable if any, (less the estimated net tax payable on such dividends) are used or will be 
used to repay the principal of the loan granted to the participant. No dividends have been paid or are currently payable in relation to the 
ESLS since the inception of the scheme. 

Fair value of ESLS options granted 
Fair  values  have  been  determined  in  accordance  with  AASB2  ‘Share-based  Payments’  where  the  value  of  options  is 
determined at grant date and are included in remuneration on a proportionate basis from grant date to vesting date. ESLS

An entity of the Group is subject to a legal claim from the liquidators of a company which sold intellectual property to the 
Group entity prior to it being placed into liquidation on 31 May 2011.   

On 22 May 2014, the liquidators filed a statement of claim in the Supreme Court of New South Wales in which they  have 
claimed that the transfer of intellectual property was a voidable transaction and seek the return of the intellectual property 
transferred. 

The  Group  entity  filed  a  defence  against  the  claim  on  22  August  2014.  The Directors  believe,  that  the  original  transfer  of 
assets was a legal transaction and, based on legal advice received, determined that no liability arises from this transaction. 
Accordingly no provision has been made in respect to this claim in these financial statements. 

The  Company  is  subject  to  a  royalty  claim  totalling  $911,000,  in  respect  to  disputed  IP  ownership  on  a  product  line.  The 
maximum exposure would be $480,000, representing the royalty rate across the product sales in dispute. The Company filed 
a  defence  against  this  claim  on  17  July  2014,  and  the  Directors  believe,  based  on  legal  advice  received,  that  the  sales  in 
dispute are not subject to any royalty claim. Accordingly, no provision has been made in respect to this claim in the financial 
statements. 

The Company is also subject to a patent infringement claim issued on 22 July 2014. This claim has not been quantified and 
based  on  current  legal  advice,  the  claim  lacks  merit.  No  provision  has  been  made  in  respect  to  this  claim  in  the  financial 
statements 

Final Madman working capital adjustment 

As part of the share sale agreement Funtastic are required to provide final completion accounts and where an objection is 
received have a period in which to resolve any amount in dispute. Where there is no resolution the parties are to appoint an 
independent  accountant  to  validate  the  accounts.  Funtastic  has  received  notice  of  objection  on  the  29th  September  2014 
from the purchaser and likely that an independent review will be required.
