Funtastic Annual Report 2017Chairman’s  
Report

On behalf of the 
Board of Directors 
of Funtastic  
Limited I am 
pleased to present 
to you our 2017 
Annual Report

Review of operations
during the past three years, the 
company embarked on a major 
turnaround strategy to reduce the 
reliance on the concentrated retail 
environment in australia and its high 
dependency on agency business. 
Whilst the market environment  
has continued to be difficult both 
domestically and internationally  
the results have been extremely 
disappointing. However, four 
significant achievements have been 
delivered in the last several months 
that have finally delivered the 
platform/foundations we have been 
working towards and effectively 
enable the company to better 
influence and control its own future.

1.Debt Level
as announced to the market  
the company has been in long 
negotiations with its Bankers the 
national australia Bank with 
regards to the future and structure 
of the debt. thanks to the significant 
support of the naB who have been 
with the company over many years, 
we concluded on 30 august 2017  
a debt restructure resulting in a 
$36 million reduction by way of  
a debt forgiveness. the full impact  
of this is discussed in the recent 
capital Raising documents and will 
be included in the January 2018  
half year accounts.

this is a significant outcome for  
the company as the structure of  
the balance sheet now has more 
appropriate gearing levels for a 
business of its size and it enables  
the company to be a smaller and 
more nimble operation.

2

2.Capital Raising
the debt restructure has allowed 
the company to go to the market 
and successfully raise $8.2 million  
in equity, completed on the 
19 august 2017. the significance  
of the restructure has allowed  
the company to resource it  
balance sheet more appropriately. 
We welcome both our existing  
and new shareholders to the  
expanded registry.

as outlined in the documents, this 
capital has been used to finalise the 
debt restructure, and provide the 
first significant injection of new 
working capital into the business  
for several years.

3.Sale of a part of the 
International Business
On 31 July 2017, an agreement  
was entered to sell a segment  
of the international business for 
$2.1 million aud by way of a 
management buy‑out to key 
personnel based in Hong Kong.  
this transaction subsequently 
settled on 7 september 2017.  
this will result in a general  
reduction in overheads and  
major reduction in cash burn  
of $3.5 million per annum as the 
operation has been reduced and 
streamlined to focus on owned 
brands and product more aligned  
to the businesses core values and 
methods of operation.

Funtastic Annual Report 2017Chairman’s  
Report

Continued

4.Reductions in Fixed Costs
the company over the past 18 
months has reviewed, refocused  
and rebuilt its fixed cost base. the 
changes have included significant 
staff reductions in head count and 
exited several leases and long‑term 
contracts that were no longer 
appropriate and weighed on the 
businesses bottom line. in June, it 
relocated its Head Office to smaller 
premises in mount Waverley at  
a cost more appropriate both to  
the size of the operation and in line 
with current market conditions. 
cumulatively the fixed cost base  
has been reduced by an annualised 
$3.9 million, in addition to the 
savings from the disposal of the 
international assets.

The Board’s key strategies for 
FY18 performance include:
1.  enhancing current licencing 
portfolio by re‑establishing  
key relationships.

2.  international foot print to  

be reset.

3.  strong brand/portfolio 

management both domestically 
and internationally.

4.  Leverage re‑set cost base and 
balance sheet to attract new 
business partners for FY19.

5.  new and streamlined senior 

management team.

4

Outlook
Following significant and sustained 
efforts, the company is now 
significantly more stable than  
in previous financial periods, with  
a better structured Balance sheet, 
enhanced internal controls, sound 
cash management principles, and 
reduced excess inventories and  
a significantly lower fixed cost  
base. the first quarter has  
started positively and the Board  
is confident that the company  
will meet its targets for 2018  
as a profitable entity.

as noted last year, the company 
remains committed to its strategy  
of re‑defining its core business and 

rightsizing the organisation for the 
future with the appropriate focus  
on the right products and markets.  
the organisation has gone through 
significant structural changes 
appointing key people in positions 
aligned to the company’s long‑term 
strategy. this has resulted in 
increased employee engagement 
with sound commitment and 
capabilities supported by 
appropriate incentive programs.

the company continues to focus  
on developing a strong, diverse and 
relevant range of new and innovative 
products enabling the company to 
effectively leverage its cost base.

the directors would like to thank  
all our staff, shareholders, bankers, 
suppliers, key agency partners and 
customers for their ongoing loyalty, 
support and patience. We look 
forward to a much more  
prosperous FY18.

Funtastic Annual Report 2017 
Corporate Governance Statement

the Corporate Governance principles that guide the operations of Funtastic limited (“Funtastic” or “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 2017 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.

Principle 1:  Lay solid foundations for management and oversight
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:
 y establishing, monitoring and modifying Funtastic’s corporate strategies;
 y ensuring best practice corporate governance;
 y appointing the Chief executive officer and approving succession plans;
 y monitoring the performance of Funtastic’s management;
 y ensuring that appropriate risk management systems, internal control and reporting systems and compliance frameworks are in place 

and are operating effectively;
 y monitoring financial results;
 y ensuring that business is conducted ethically and transparently;
 y approving decisions concerning Funtastic’s capital, including capital restructures and dividend policy; and
 y 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 has a written agreement with each director and senior executive setting out the terms of their agreement.

the Company Secretary provides advice and support to the Board and is responsible for the Company’s day to day 
governance framework.

the Chairman on behalf of the Board undertakes a review of the Managing Director’s performance at least on an annual basis.  
objectives are set and aligned to the overall business goals and the Company’s requirement of the position.

the performance of senior management is evaluated by the Managing Director through formal performance reviews undertaken on an 
annual basis. the individual performance of each Senior executive is reviewed against goals set in the previous year and new objectives  
are established for the following financial year.

Diversity
Funtastic is an equal opportunity employer and makes its recruitment decisions based on the best person for the role with no 
discrimination on the grounds of gender or any other factor. the company is committed to being a business which is an appealing and 
rewarding place to work for men and women.

Funtastic has established a Diversity policy which is published on the company’s website. As at 31 July 2017 the group’s mix of employees 
was as follows (including 28 international staff in respect of the subsequently divested International operations):

Principle 1:  Lay solid foundations for management and oversight continued
Funtastic has elected not to establish targets with regard to gender mix within its workforce on the grounds that, as a small business such 
targets could place unreasonable restrictions on the company’s ability to operate effectively.

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.

new directors are provided with a letter of appointment setting out the Company’s expectations, 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.

Principle 2:  Structure of the board to add value
Nomination Committee
the current members of the nomination Committee are Mr Shane tanner (Chairman), Ms linda norquay (resigned 3 March 2017) and 
Mr Stephen Heath.

the role of the nomination Committee is to assist the Board in ensuring that the Board is comprised of individuals who are best able to 
discharge the responsibilities of a Director, having regard to the law and the highest standards of governance, by:
 y assessing the skills, knowledge, experience and diversity required on the Board and the extent to which they are represented;
 y establishing processes for the identification of suitable candidates for appointment to the Board; and
 y overseeing succession planning for the Board.

the principal purposes of the Committee are to:
 y establish a formal and transparent procedure for the selection and appointment of new directors to the Board;
 y regularly review the succession plans in place for membership of the Board to ensure that an appropriate balance of skills, experience 

and expertise is maintained;

 y review the time commitment required from a non-executive director and whether non-executive directors are meeting this 

requirement; and

 y take all reasonable steps to ensure that all individuals nominated for appointment to the Board as a non-executive director, expressly 

acknowledge prior to their election that they are able to fulfil the responsibilities and duties expected of them.

the committee seeks advice and guidance, as appropriate, from external experts.

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

the directors believe that limits on tenure may cause loss of experience and expertise that are 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

At the commencement of the financial year, the Board comprised of three non-executive directors (one non-executive director resigned 
during the period without replacement) 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 pages 15 and 16 of the 
Annual Report.

Funtastic Annual Report 2017Corporate Governance Statement

continued

Principle 2:  Structure of the board to add value continued
Board and Director Independence
the Board has assessed the criteria for independence as outlined in the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s best practice 
recommendation 2.3. 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, two of the four directors are considered to be independent. It is the Board’s view that Mr Shane tanner, and Mr Stephen Heath 
are independent directors.

Mr nir pizmony and Mr Grant Mackenzie are executive Directors and are deemed not to be independent directors.

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

the Board strongly believes that 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.

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.

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.

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 the business. 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 independent professional advice at the expense of Funtastic. 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.

Principle 3:  Act ethically and responsibly
Ethical Standards
All directors, officers and employees are expected to perform their duties professionally and act with the utmost integrity and objectivity, 
striving at all times to enhance the reputation and performance of Funtastic and its brands. the Board oversees the identification and 
implementation of procedures and development of policies in respect of the maintenance of appropriate ethical standards. Funtastic has 
a Code of Conduct, which sets out the standards as to how directors and employees of Funtastic are expected to act. employees are 
required to read the updated employee Code of Conduct in the performance of their duties and to sign an acknowledgement stating that 
they have read and understood this document.

10

Principle 3:  Act ethically and responsibly continued
Ethical Compliance
Funtastic uses its best endeavours through contract negotiations to ensure that all its products are manufactured in accordance with local 
and internationally accepted labour, environmental and employment laws. Funtastic is working to ensure that manufacturing occurs under 
working conditions that meet legal standards and without the use of child, forced or prison labour.

Dealings in Funtastic shares by Directors, officers and employees

the Board permits directors to acquire shares in Funtastic. It is recommended that all employees do not buy or sell shares in the company 
at any time they are aware of any material price sensitive information that has not been made public, and are reminded of the laws against 
“insider trading”.

Certain “Designated officers”, including all directors and senior executives, are also prohibited from trading during certain “blackout” 
periods. these blackout periods are:

(a)  From the close of the accounts (on 31 January each year) to 2 business days after the publication to the ASX of the half-year financial 
results; i.e. the Appendix 4D (a 2-business day blackout period would apply from the publication to the ASX of the final half-year 
financial report in the event that they were materially different from the Appendix 4D results);

(b)  From the close of the accounts (on 31 July each year) to 2 business days after the publication to the ASX of the full-year financial 
results; i.e. the Appendix 4e (a 2-business day blackout period would apply from the publication to the ASX of the final full-year 
financial report in the event that they were materially different from the Appendix 4e results); and

(c)  Forty-eight hours after the public release of any market guidance update.

exceptions to this prohibition can be approved by the Chairman (for other directors) or the Company Secretary (for all other employees) 
in circumstances of financial hardship. prohibitions also apply to financial instruments related to Funtastic shares and to trading in the shares 
of other entities using information obtained through employment with Funtastic.

In accordance with provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 and the listing Rules of the Australian Stock exchange (ASX), directors or their 
related entities advise the ASX of any transaction conducted by them in buying or selling any shares in Funtastic.

Principle 4:  Safeguard integrity in corporate reporting
Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee
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 now comprised of two non-executive directors: 
Ms linda norquay (Chairman) (resigned 3 March 2017), Mr Shane tanner and Mr Stephen Heath (appointed Chairman 3 March 2017).

Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee Charter and Responsibilities
the Committee’s key responsibilities and functions are to:
 y monitor the company’s relationship with the external auditor (including the rotation of external auditor personnel on a regular basis) 

and the external audit function generally;

 y oversee the adequacy of internal control systems in relation to the preparation of financial statements and reports; and
 y oversee the process of identification and management of business, financial and commercial risks.

Meetings of the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee
the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee may have in attendance or by invitation such members of management or others as it may 
deem necessary to provide appropriate information or explanations.

the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee meet at least twice per year and more frequently if required. the external Auditor attends 
the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee meetings when requested by the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee Chairman.

Reporting by the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee
the Chairman of the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee ordinarily reports to the full Board after committee meetings. the Audit, 
Risk and Compliance Committee reports matters regarding its role and responsibilities, including:
 y the system of internal control, which management has established to safeguard the company’s assets;
 y processes are in place such that accounting records are properly maintained in accordance with statutory requirements; and
 y processes exist to reasonably guarantee that financial information provided to investors and the Board is reliable and free of

auditor; and

 y none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in Code of Conduct ApeS 110 Code

the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate for the Company or

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 employee Share 
loan Scheme.

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.

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 
information and having regard to an individual’s responsibilities, performance, qualifications, experience and location. An executive’s 
compensation is also reviewed on promotion.

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
 y the StI plan is linked to specific targets (predominantly financial) with the opportunity to earn incentives based on a percentage of 

fixed compensation.

 y 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.

 y As noted in the FY16 accounts, due to the company’s financial position, the executive leadership took a reduction in pay effective 1 June 
2016. the reduction in pay was converted to a StI plan subject to the company delivering a net profit before tax for the FY17 financial 
year. As the company did not meet the target for the FY17 year, no amounts were due or payable.

Share Options/Share Performance Right Plans/Employee Share Loan Scheme
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. the Company’s executive Share option plan (eSop) 
and Funtastic employee performance Share Rights (epSR) were replaced by the employee Share loan Scheme (eSlS) established during 
the 2013 financial year. As at the 31 July 2017 all options relating to the eSop and epSR had expired.

During the 2013 financial year (as part of the Company’s ltI arrangements), 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, 27 January 2017 for tranche 2, 31 July 2018 for tranche 3, 19 october 2018 for 
tranche 4 and 23 December 2018 for tranche 5. Although there are no performance conditions attached to the eSlS, eligible employees 
only benefit from the scheme through improvements in the share price of the company, which results from improved performance. the 
options become exercisable only when the vesting conditions are met. (See note 28)

the expiry date of the eSlS options is on the date the employee ceases employment with Funtastic. Further details on the eSlS, the eSlS

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 audit of the financial report 

Opinion  
We have audited the financial report of Funtastic Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the 

Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 July 2017, the 

consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of 

changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the 

consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the 

directors’ declaration.  

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations 

Act 2001, including: 

a  Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 July 2017 and of its 

performance for the year ended on that date; and  

b  Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for Opinion  
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.  Our responsibilities under 

those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial 

Report section of our report.  We are independent of the Group in accordance with the independence 

requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional 

and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that 

are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia.  We have also fulfilled our other ethical 

responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

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

our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern 
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of 

$33,466,000 for the year ended 31 July 2017 and, as of that date, the Group’s current liabilities 

exceeded its current assets by $55,359,000 with a net asset deficiency of $50,714,000. These 

conditions along with other matters set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty 

which may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the 

Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, 

and at amounts stated in the financial report. Our opinion is not modified in relation to this matter. 

Key Audit Matters  

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our 

audit of the financial report of the current period.  These matters were addressed in the context of our 

audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a 

separate opinion on these matters.   

Key audit matter 
Asset impairment testing – refer to Note 3, 14 and 15 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

At 31 July 2017 the Group has $Nil (2016: 
$14,163,000) of goodwill and $4,287,000 in 
other intangible assets contained within 
separate cash generating units (CGUs). 

Management is required to perform an 
impairment test on goodwill and other finite life 
intangibles at least annually, and is also 
required to perform an impairment test on other 
intangible assets with finite useful lives if 
indicators of impairment are identified. 

The Group generated an operating loss in the 
current financial year which is an indication that 
goodwill and other intangible assets may be 
impaired. 

This area is a key audit matter due to the 
inherent subjectivity and judgment required in 
measuring the recoverable amount of goodwill 
and other intangible assets. Measuring 
recoverable amount involves judgments about 
the future results of the underlying products 
and business as well as the discount and 
royalty rates applied. 

The Group recognised an impairment against 
goodwill totalling $14,163,000 and other 
intangible assets totalling $2,981,000 during 
the year. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

•  Reviewing management’s valuation models for 

compliance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets; 

•  Assessing management’s determination of 
CGU’s based on our understanding of how 
management monitors the entity’s operations and 
makes decisions about groups of assets that 
generate independent cash flows; 

•  Understanding and documenting management’s 
process for the preparation and review of the 
value-in-use and ‘relief from royalty’ models; 

•  Checking the mathematical accuracy of the 

underlying model calculations; 

•  Assessing the appropriateness of the key inputs 

used in the calculations and evaluating the 
reasonableness of the cash flow projections by 
considering the historical accuracy of the 
budgeting process; 

•  Assessing the key growth rate assumptions by 

comparing them to historical results and forecasts 
and the discount rate by reference to the cost of 
capital for the Group; 

•  Utilising valuation specialists to review the 

appropriateness of the models and compliance 
with the requirements of AASB 136, royalty rates 
used as well as the discount rate applied; 

•  Performing sensitivity analysis on the models in 
relation to the projections, discount and growth 
rate assumptions; and 

•  Assessing the adequacy of the Group’s 

disclosures within the financial statements.

confectionary, which are susceptible to 
obsolescence. The determination of the 
recoverable value and the related provision for 
obsolescence involves a high level of 
management judgement. 

This area is a key audit matter due to the 
management judgment required in determining 
the provision. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 
•  Documenting our understanding of internal 
processes and controls associated with the 
determination of the provision for obsolescence; 

•  Documenting and understanding the underlying 

methodology upon which management's 
provision is based and considered for any 
changes from the previous year; 

•  Testing the provision calculation for mathematical 

accuracy; 

•  Analysing and challenging management's 
assessment of the provision required for 
particular products identified which are deemed 
to be of higher risk of obsolescence including 
consideration of sales and aged inventory reports 
prepared by management; and 

•  Considering the adequacy of the provision 

through selecting a sample of inventory items and 
tracing to the most recent sales invoice to 
determine whether items are sold less than cost 
and thus indicative of requiring a provision for 
stock obsolescence. 

Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon 
The Directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the information 

included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 July 2017, but does not include the financial 

report and our auditor’s report thereon.   

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form 

of assurance conclusion thereon.  

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, 

in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or 

our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.   

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other 

information, we are required to report that fact.  We have nothing to report in this regard.  

Responsibilities of the Directors’ 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.  

34

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to 

continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the 

going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease 

operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.    

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report  

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

from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes 

our opinion.  Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit 

conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material 

misstatement when it exists.  Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, 

individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions 

of users taken on the basis of this financial report.  

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing 

and Assurance Standards Board website at:  http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_files/ar2.pdf.  This 

description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Notes to the Financial Statements

31 July 2017

Note 1:  Significant accounting policies
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 law. the financial statements comprise the 
consolidated financial statements of the Group.

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 26 october 2017.

the company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financials/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 
2016/191, dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Corporations Instrument amounts in the directors’ report and the financial 
statements 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
the financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of business activities and the 
realisation of assets and the payment of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Whilst the eBItDA loss excluding impairment charges was $5.6 million, a net loss for the year of $33.5 million was reported and there 
is a net asset deficiency of $50.7 million and net current deficiency of $55.4 million, management have made significant changes to the 
business which is expected to result in improved results going forward. these include:
 y An improved debt structure through the permanent reduction of $36 million in bank debt by way of a debt forgiveness subsequent 

to year end

 y Raising further capital of $8.2 million subsequent to year end
 y Changes in the management structure
 y Continued focus on cost management
 y Sale of the international business which was completed subsequent to year end

the ability for the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the following factors:
 y Achievement of improved financial results through normal trading and the achievement of budgeted results.
 y Continued support of creditors and customers through appropriate trading terms as well as the nAB (national Australia bank).

there is therefore material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt as to whether the Group will continue as a going concern and, 
therefore, whether it will realise its assets and settle its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the 
financial report.

notwithstanding this uncertainty, the Directors believe that the Group will be able to achieve the required results and are satisfied the 
Group will continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis.

(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:
 y Has the power over the investee;
 y is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
 y 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.

41

Funtastic Annual Report 2017Notes to the Financial Statements

continued

Note 1:  Significant accounting policies continued
(a)  Basis of consolidation continued

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 income from the date the Company gains control until the date the Company ceases 
to control the subsidiary.

profit or loss and each 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.

All intra-Group assets and liabilities, equity, income and expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group 
are eliminated in full on consolidation.

(b)  income tax

(i)  Current tax
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 if they arose 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.

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 Losses
A deferred tax asset in respect to tax losses is only recognised where there is a reasonable certainty that future taxable profits will be 
guaranteed. Management assesses continuity of ownership test and same business test hurdles bi-annually.

(v)  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 in the tax-consolidated Group. 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-consolidated Group using the “separate taxpayer within Group” approach by reference to the carrying amounts in 
the separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation.

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.

42

Note 1:  Significant accounting policies continued
(c)  Foreign currency translation

(i)  Functional and presentation currency
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 dollars, which is Funtastic limited’s functional 
and 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 in the income statement, except when 
deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.

translation differences on non-monetary items, such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss, are reported as part of the fair 
value gain or loss.

(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 the presentation currency, are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
 y assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;
 y income and expenses for each profit or loss presented are translated at the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case 

income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and

 y 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 a foreign operation is sold or borrowings 
repaid a 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.

(d)  cash and cash equivalents

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.

(e)  Revenue

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.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when a Group entity has delivered products to the customer. Delivery does not occur until 
the products have been shipped to the specified location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer and 
the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed or the Group has 
objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

Commission revenue is recorded when the consideration is receivable based on when the goods have been dispatched to a customer by 
the third party.

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.

43

Funtastic Annual Report 2017Notes to the Financial Statements

continued

Note 1:  Significant accounting policies continued
(g)  Plant and equipment continued

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line 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 estimated useful life of the improvement to the Group. the 
expected useful lives are as follows:

plant and equipment: 

2.5 – 10 years

leasehold improvements: 

3 – 5 Years

(h)  Loans and receivables

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 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 the carrying value of inventory and costs necessary to make 
the sale.

Stock write downs occur where the estimated selling price of stock, in the ordinary course of business, is less than the estimated costs of 
completion and costs necessary to make the sale. excess stock levels are reviewed on a regular basis, where discussions with the sales 
teams are undertaken.

(j)  trade payables

these amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year for which an invoice 
has been processed through the Group’s payables system and the amount remains unpaid.

the amounts are unsecured and usually paid within 30 to 90 days of recognition. the average credit period on purchases of certain goods 
from international supplier’s ranges from 4 weeks to 4 months. there is no interest charged on trade payables. the Group has financial risk 
management policies in place to ensure that, as often as possible, all payables are paid within a reasonable timeframe.

(k)  Goods and services tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GSt), except:
 y where the amount of GSt incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an 

asset or as part of an item of expense; or

 y for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GSt.

the net amount of GSt recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. the GSt components of cash flows arising from investing and financing 
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority are classified as operating cash flows.

(l)  Leased non‑current assets

A distinction is made between finance leases which effectively transfer from the lessor to 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.

Finance leases are capitalised (note 20). 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.

44

Note 1:  Significant accounting policies continued
(l)  Leased non‑current assets continued

operating lease payments are charged to the profit or loss account on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. 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 within equity.

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.

(n)  Borrowings

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.

(o)  Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs include:
 y interest on bank overdrafts and short-term and long-term borrowings;
 y finance lease charges; and
 y 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.

Note 1:  Significant accounting policies continued
(p)  employee benefits continued

(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)  intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately or in a business combination are initially measured at cost. the cost of an intangible asset acquired 
in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost 
less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalised 
development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. 
Amortisation of the Group’s intangible assets is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. the estimated useful 
life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being 
accounted for on a prospective basis.

Intangible assets are amortised, based on the useful live assessed by management, as follows:
 y Software 
 y patents 
 y trademarks 
 y licensed distribution agreements 
 y Brand names 

10-20 years-indefinite

10-20 years

1-20 years

20 years

3 years

(r)  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 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.

(s)  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 28 to the financial statements.

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured 
to their fair value at each reporting date. the resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is 
designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event, the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature 
of the hedge relationship. the Group designates certain derivatives as either hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities 
or firm commitments (fair value hedges), or hedges of highly probable forecast transactions or hedges of foreign currency risk of firm 
commitments (cash flow hedges).

46

Note 1:  Significant accounting policies continued
(s)  derivative financial instruments continued

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 liability if the remaining maturity of the hedge relationship is more than 
12 months.

(i)  Cash flow hedges
the Group designates certain hedging instruments, derivatives in respect of foreign currency, as cash flow hedges.

At the inception of the hedge relationship, the entity documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, 
along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the 
hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values 
or cash flows of the hedged item.

note 28 contains details of the fair values of the derivative instruments used for hedging purposes. Movements in the hedging reserve in 
equity are also detailed in the statement of changes in equity.

the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in equity in 
the hedging reserve. the gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in other comprehensive income.

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. When a hedging 
instrument expires or is sold or 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

(t)  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:
 y it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or
 y on initial recognition, it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual 

pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

 y it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

(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 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.

Funtastic Annual Report 2017Notes to the Financial Statements

continued

Note 1:  Significant accounting policies continued
(u)  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)  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.

(v)  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.

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.

(w)  Onerous contracts

the Group enters into royalty contracts. 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.

(x)  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.

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.

(y)  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:
 y represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations;
 y is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or
 y is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to re-sell.

48

Note 1:  Significant accounting policies continued
(y)  discontinued operations continued

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.

(z)  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 in an orderly 
transaction between market participants at measurement date.

the Group 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 Group has adopted the fair value 
hierarchy established in AASB 13 ‘Fair Value Measurement’ that categorises fair value measurement into three levels:
 y level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 y 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 (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

 y 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 
(e.g. 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.

(aa)  assets and Liabilities classified as held for sale.

When the group intends to sell a non-current asset or group of assets (a disposal group), and if sale within 12 months is highly probable, the 
asset or disposal group is classified as “held for sale” and presented separately in the statement of financial position. liabilities are classified 
as “held for sale” and presented in the statement of financial position if they are directly associated with a disposal group.

Assets classified as “held for sale” are measured at the lower of their carrying amounts immediately prior to their classification as held for 
sale and their fair value less costs to sell. However, some “held for sale assets” such as financial assets or deferred tax assets, continue to be 
measured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy for those assets. once classified as “held for sale’, the assets are not subject to 
deprecation or amortisation.

Note 2:  Application of new and revised Accounting Standards
2.1 Amendments to AASBs and the new Interpretation that are mandatorily effective for the current year
In the current year, the Group has applied all amendments to AASBs issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are 
mandatorily effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 July 2016.

the application of these amendments does not have any material impact on the disclosures or the amounts recognised in the Group’s 
consolidated financial statements.

the potential impacts of the above Standards on the reported results or financial position have not yet been fully assessed. However, 
our initial assessments indicate that no material change is expected to result from the applicable of these standards with the exception 
of AASB 16 Leases.

AASB 16 introduces a single comprehensive on-balance sheet accounting model for lease arrangements that apply to lessors and lessees. 
this effectively removes the distinction between operating leases (off-balance sheet) and finance leases (on-balance sheet) with the 
exception for short term leases and leases of low value assets. lessees will now have to bring operating leases on to the balance sheet and 
recognise a right-of-use asset (Rou) being the asset that is leased and a corresponding lease liability for the amount used to finance the 
Rou. Committed payments that are now recognised as rental expense will be replaced by the depreciation of the Rou and the interest 
expense from the lease liability. the Group is currently assessing the potential impact on the consolidated financial statements when the 
new standard is mandatorily adopted.

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 1, 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
In addition to the key sources of estimation uncertainty on the going concern basis as disclosed in note 1, 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.

50

Note 3:  Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty continued
Key sources of estimation uncertainty continued
(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 amounts of the cash-generating units have been determined on a value in use basis. these 
calculations require the use of assumptions. A significant change to these assumptions may affect the recoverable amount of the cash 
generating units (refer to note 14).

(ii)  useful life of intangible assets

Management has assessed the useful life of intangibles on the following basis:
 y Software – based on the licence or expected
 y patents and trademarks – based on the contractual life of the patent
 y licensed distribution agreements – based on the term of the agreement or the expected Brand product life cycle
 y Brand names – up to indefinite useful life based on the nature of the brand

Whilst the current useful lives are management’s best estimate, a periodic review is undertaken to ensure that these remain appropriate.

(iii)  Recoverability of inventory

the Group periodically assesses whether the net realisable value (nRV) of its inventories is reasonable in light of changing market 
conditions within the retail sector and the Group’s reassessment of brand portfolio. 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.

(iv)  Recoverability of debtors

the Group periodically assesses the recoverable amount of its trade debtors in light of ageing and other market indicators of impairment. 
Whilst the Group has provided against impaired debts based on its best estimate of the recoverable amount, final amounts recovered may 
differ to that provided against.

(v)  taxation timing differences recognised as asset and deferral of tax liability

the amount of deferred tax asset in respect of revenue tax losses is determined based upon expected future taxable income, and 
judgement as to the losses availability under the “continuity of ownership test”, and where applicable the “same business test”. Based on the 
current assessment, determined using budget forecasts for FY2018, the Group has de-recognised previously capitalised timing differences 
composing the deferred tax asset as at 31 July 2017 and no longer recognises an amount within the deferred tax asset or provision for 
deferred tax liability for timing differences. Refer to note 8 for details.

Note 4:  Segment information
Based on the reports reviewed by the Chief executive officer to make strategic and operating decisions, management has determined 
that the Group has one operating segment.

Information about major customers
Included in revenues of Australia of $45,059,000 are revenues of approximately $28,079,230 (2016: $47,151,600), which arose from sales 
to that region’s three largest customers.

Information about products and services
the group generates all their revenue from the sale of consumer products (toys, sporting confectionery, lifestyle and apparel products).

Note 5:  Discontinued operations
USA Operation
After an extensive review, slower than anticipated sales growth and with regards to the costs incurred with servicing the uSA market it 
was decided to close the uSA operation in September 2016 and service the existing customer base from the Head office in Australia.

Madman and Wellington Rd
the losses resulting from Madman arose from the write-off of the amount receivable and legal costs arising out of the dispute around 
working capital and warranty claims that were settled in January 2017. the losses from Wellington Rd are the result of make good claims 
from the landlord at the expiration of the lease agreement. the Wellington Rd property was a property previously used by Madman and 
sub-let in 2010. the Company has provided the full amount claimed by the landlord, and is currently assessing its legal position around 
this claim.

unrecognised taxable temporary differences associated with investments and interests in subsidiaries

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 leaves 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-consolidated 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 26.

56

Note 8:  Income tax continued
(e)  Deferred tax balances continued
tax consolidation continued

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

tax Losses and temporary differences

As at 31 July 2017 the Australian Group has carried forward revenue tax losses of approximately $97,527,433 (2016: $86,363,306). 
As at 31 July 2017 a deferred tax asset of $nil (2016: $nil) has been booked relating to revenue tax losses and deferred assets relating 
to temporary differences of $nil (2016: $nil). the Company made losses in the current and previous reporting period. Following the 
assessment of the probability of recovery, having considered forecast future taxable income and current tax legislation with respect to 
carrying forward revenue tax losses and temporary differences, the full balance of tax losses available at 31 July 2017 of $97,527,433 and 
net deferred tax asset of $1,556,000 have not been booked as a deferred tax asset in these financial statements.

Furthermore, we note that as a result of the debt restructure subsequent to year end, we anticipate that the tax losses will still be available 
for utilisation subject to continuing to meet the continuity of ownership or same business test.

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 CGu is required to perform an impairment test annually on goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets as required by 
AASB 136. More frequent reviews are performed for indications of impairment of the CGu, and where an indication of impairment 
is identified a formal impairment assessment is performed.

60

Note 14:  Non-current assets – Goodwill continued
In addition to the requirement to perform the annual test, the Group has identified the following Indicators of impairment at 31 July 2017:
 y the financial year result was below budget expectations. this was due to a number of adverse events that have impacted the result 

significantly. these events included:

– 

International customers significantly reducing purchases as a result of poor season sales and business uncertainty.

–  Key discount department store customers reducing purchases as a result of organisational restructuring and 

inventory consolidation.

As a result, the Group assessed the recoverable amount of the CGu and related goodwill and intangibles at 31 July 2017 having regard to 
the value-in-use approach.

Impairment testing – Value-in-use
In calculating value-in-use, the cash flows include projections of cash inflows and outflows from continuing use of the group of assets making 
up the CGu. the cash flows are estimated for the assets of the CGu in their current condition and discounted to their present value using 
a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the risks specific to the CGu. the group uses a 5-year discounted 
cash flow model with a terminal growth rate for years beyond the 5-year forecast period.

Outcome of assessment
In determining the value-in-use, the cash flow forecasts for the CGu were based on forecast sales and gross margins for FY2018. Margins 
used in the forecast are based upon a bottom up forecast approach, historical and anticipated product margins and assumptions on 
projected sales mix and rebate arrangements. Reduced overheads based on actions already implemented at the commencement of the 
FY2018 financial year have been used in the assessment. However, the cash flow was risk adjusted based on the current year results and 
uncertainty of future cash flows, resulting in management taking the view to impair the full carrying value of the goodwill.

Assessment of carrying amount
As a result of the assessment of the carrying amount and the significant restructuring of the business, the Directors determined that full 
impairment of goodwill is appropriate.

As impairment indicators were present for intangible assets, AASB136 required performance of an impairment assessment of the various 
other intangibles. this has been performed, based on the royalty relief method by applying a market related royalty rate to the expected 
future sales and terminal growth rate, which is a level three valuation in the fair value hierarchy.

projected sales were calculated based on approved FY2018 budget and management’s view of longer term performance expectations. 
the estimated product life cycle was included in the calculation.

Outcome of assessment
Failure to meet budgeted performance expectations in FY17 and a re-assessment of future performance expectations resulted in an 
impairment charge of $2,981,000 to the intangibles. (FY16 $6,424,000).

Note 16:  Assets pledged as security
In accordance with the security arrangements of liabilities as disclosed in note 17 to the financial statements, all assets of the Group, except 
goodwill and deferred tax assets, have been pledged as security. the Group does not have the right to sell or re-pledge the assets.

Changes to the then Corporations law abolished the authorised capital and par value concept in relation to share capital from 1 July 1998. 
therefore, the company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital and issued shares do not have a par value.

ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the parent entity in proportion to the number of members’ 
shares held. At members’ meetings, each fully paid ordinary share is entitled to vote when ta poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has 
one vote on a show of hands

Note 28:  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 17, cash and cash equivalents 
and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, accumulated losses and reserves as disclosed in the 
Statement of Changes in equity.

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.

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 1 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, who 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:
 y Foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the exchange rate risk arising on the import of goods denominated in uS dollars; and
 y 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 2017, while there has been a recent stabilisation of low 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.

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:

Foreign currency sensitivity
the Group is mainly exposed to the uS dollar, euro and the HK dollar. the following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% increase 
and 5% decrease in the Australian dollar against the relevant foreign currencies. 5% 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 5% 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.

During the year ended 31 July 2017 a loss on hedging instruments for the Group of $25,000 (31 July 2016: loss $38,000) has been brought 
to account.

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 25-basis point increase or a 25-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 25-basis points higher or 25-basis points lower and all other variables were held constant, 
the Group’s:
 y net profit after taxation would increase/(decrease) by $131,000/($131,000) (post debt restructure and capital raise the sensitivity 

changes to $37,500/($37,500) respectively (2016: $122,000/($122,000)). this is mainly due to the Group’s exposure to interest rates 
on its variable rate borrowings.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts
Bank loans of the Group currently bear an average variable interest rate of 5.61% (2016: 6.74%). 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).

74

 
 
Note 28:  Financial Instruments continued
Interest Rate Swap Contracts continued
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 29% (2016: 40%) of the total debt outstanding with its senior lender and is timed to expire on 
1 December 2017. the fixed interest rate is 3.09% (2016: 3.09%) and the variable rate is the bank bill rate of the term of the underlying bill 
which at balance date was 1.65% (2016: 1.9%).

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 28:  Financial Instruments continued
Fair value of financial instruments
the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
 y 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

 y 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 1 and in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

Note 29:  Share-based payments
Executive Share Option Plan (ESOP)
no options were granted under the eSop plan during the current financial year or preceding financial year. the executive Share option 
plan (eSop) was replaced by the employee Share loan Scheme (eSlS) established during the 2013 financial year.

Unlisted Share Options
As at 31 July 2017, there were no unlisted share option balances outstanding. no options were granted under the plan during the current 
financial year or preceding financial year.

Employee Share Loan Scheme
During the 2013 financial year (as part of the Company’s ltI arrangements), 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, 27 January 2017 for tranche 2, 31 July 2018 for tranche 3, 19 october 2018 for 
tranche 4 and 23 December 2018 for tranche 5. Although there are no performance conditions attached to the eSlS, eligible employees 
benefit from the scheme through improvements in the share price of the company, which results from improved performance. the options 
become exercisable only when the vesting conditions are met. the expiry date of the eSlS options is on the date the employee ceases 
employment with Funtastic.

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.

the eSlS is treated in substance as an option for accounting purposes and is therefore disclosed as share options in the Remuneration Report.

(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 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. eSlS options are valued using a Black 
Scholes option pricing model. the model inputs for options granted include:
