Chairman’s  
Report

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Funtastic Limited,  
I am pleased to present our 2018 Annual Report.

The Period in Review 

Reconciliation of underlying to statutory results

The financial year ended 31 July 2018 was a year of significant 
change and turnaround for Funtastic with the business 
returning to profitability following several loss-making years. 
The strategic plan outlined at the beginning of the year has 
begun to deliver the sustainable revenue and profitability 
improvement that it has been designed to do. The review  
of the cost base has delivered significant savings and there 
will remain an ongoing focus of minimising both fixed and 
variable costs. The implementation of improved, disciplined 
business processes combined with enhanced commercial 
acumen has begun to streamline the product range and will 
drive ongoing margin improvements. A focus on developing 
long term supply partnerships and reducing dependence  
on transactional opportunities has led to the business being 
awarded a number of significant licensing opportunities.

Highlights for the year ended  
31 July 2018 included: 
 y A return to profitability with operating FY18 EBITDA  
of $2.5 million, $8.1 million higher than FY17 operating 
EBITDA loss of ($5.6 million). 

 y The completion of the sale of a segment of the previously 
loss-making international business for $2.1 million, 
reducing fixed costs and significantly improving cashflows. 

 y Completion of a fixed cost review that has delivered  

an ongoing reduction in fixed overheads by $2.0 million. 
 y Completion of the transition to a variable logistics model 
that has delivered cost savings of $1.2 million per annum. 
 y Securing the Toy Story 4 licensing rights for Australia and 
New Zealand, a major achievement that has positioned 
the company within the top 150 licensing companies 
globally, building on the foundation of other major licenses 
such as JoJo Siwa, Paw Patrol, LOL and others. 

 y A restructuring of debt facilities was completed in the 
first half of FY18, reducing debt by $36.0 million.

 y A successful capital raising of $8.4 million was completed  
in September 2017. Together with the debt reduction 
noted above the Company’s balance sheet was 
significantly strengthened.

Post balance date events: 

Post FY18 year end, an $8.2 million capital raising via a 
placement and entitlement offer was announced and this 
was completed on 9 October 2018. The main reason for 
raising capital was to facilitate a further restructuring of debt 
facilities, eliminating all liabilities with National Australia Bank 
subject to a debt payment of a $5.0 million which was 
completed on 12 October 2018. The completion of the 
capital raising and finalisation of the restructuring of Funtastic’s 
debt arrangements have resulted in a more appropriate and 
sustainable capital structure for the Company and will provide 
it with the balance sheet strength and flexibility to pursue 
new growth opportunities as well as enhance its position 
with customers and suppliers.

The Board’s key strategies for FY19  
performance include: 
 y Ongoing enhancement of the licensing portfolio,  

building on key relationships. 

 y Development and growth of our own brands. 
 y Capitalising on emerging technologies and trends.
 y Further improvement of cash management  
disciplines, driving balance sheet strength. 
 y Continual investment in our people, culture  

and leadership.

2018

The year ahead 
 y Funtastic sells, markets and distributes products within 
the Toy, Apparel, Tech and Confectionery categories. 
These categories remain relevant and valued by both 
major and specialty retailers. All categories are profitable 
with Toys, dominated by one off transactions, being our 
largest strategic challenge. 

 y Funtastic has secured the licensing rights for Toy Story 4 
and will continue to seek other licensing opportunities, 
building on its foundation of the licenses for JoJo Siwa, 
Paw Patrol, LOL and others.

 y Funtastic has secured the Australia/New Zealand 

distribution rights for Pai International and Learning 
Resources as the company expands its consumer offering 
into the learning and Science, Technology, Engineering, 
Maths (STEM) categories. 

 y The Australian e-commerce and speciality channels are 
poised for growth as consumer purchasing behaviour 
evolves. Funtastic has resourced and positioned itself  
to maximise growth from this opportunity. 
 y Opportunities to develop and grow own brands  

(Pillow Pets, Chill factor and Floaties) both domestically 
and internationally continue to be pursued. Improved 
distribution and consumption opportunities exist in 
brands such as Razor, Beacon, JoJo, LOL Accessories  
and Orbeez. 

 y Divestment, refinancing and successful implementation 
of a lower cost structure have positioned the business  
to accelerate growth initiatives. 

 y Funtastic will continue to build on its strong customer 
and supplier relationships and sourcing competency. 

 y The Company expects to build on its return to 
profitability in FY18 and deliver further growth  
and profitability in FY19. 

The Directors would like to thank all our staff, shareholders, 
bankers, suppliers, key agency partners and customers  
for their ongoing loyalty and support. We look forward  
to building on a profitable FY18 and making FY19 another 
successful year.

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 2018 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 2018 the group’s mix of employees 
was as follows:

General employees

Middle managers

Senior managers

Annual  
Report  
2018

Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight (continued)
Diversity (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) 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.

Corporate Governance Statement

continued

Principle 2: Structure of the Board to add value (continued)
Board Membership (continued)

At the commencement of the financial year, the Board comprised of two non-executive directors and two executive directors (the Chief  
Executive Officer and the Chief Finance Officer/Chief Operating Officer). The details of each director’s qualifications, experience and skills  
are set out on pages 15 to 16 of the Annual Report. 

Board and Director Independence

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

Currently, four of the five directors are considered to be independent. It is the Board’s view that Mr Shane Tanner, Mr Stephen Heath,  
Mr John Tripodi and Ms Nicki Anderson are independent directors. 

Mr Steven Leighton is an Executive Director and therefore deemed not to be an independent director.

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.

Report  
2018

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.

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) 

b) 

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);

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 comprised of two non-executive directors:  
Mr Shane Tanner and Mr Stephen Heath.

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.

Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in corporate reporting (continued)
Reporting by the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee

 y reviewing corporate governance practices for completeness and accuracy;

 y formalise the process by which the executive team sign-off on those areas of risk responsibility delegated to them by the Board; and
 y ensure a true and fair view of Funtastic’s financial statements.

The key steps in the certification process are as follows:

and internal controls; and

 y review by the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee of all exceptions and management comments.

Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure
Communication and disclosure

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

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

Principle 6: Respect the rights of security holders

its security registry electronically.

Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk

Recognising and managing risk

The responsibility for risk management and oversight is coordinated through the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee, in conjunction 
with management. The committee’s specific function with respect to risk management is to review and report to the Board that:
 y the company’s ongoing risk management program effectively identifies areas of potential risk;
 y adequate policies and procedures are designed and implemented to manage identified risks; and
 y appropriate remedial action is undertaken to redress areas of weakness.

The following are intended to form part of the normal procedures for the Committee’s risk responsibility:
 y determine the adequacy and effectiveness of the management reporting and systems used to monitor adherence to policies and 

guidelines and limits approved by the Board for management of financial risks;

 y determine the adequacy and effectiveness of financial and operational risk management systems by reviewing risk registers and  

reports from management and external auditors;

Internal Audit Function 

The internal audit function is absorbed within the head office finance function. The finance function is able to conduct internal control 
reviews and assessments as and when required by the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee. The Board received and reviewed the

Changes in state of affairs

The following events occurred during the financial year that positively impact on the state of affairs of the consolidated entity:
 y The completion of the sale of a segment of the previously loss-making international business for $2.1 million, reducing fixed costs and 

significantly improving cashflows. 

 y A restructuring of debt facilities was completed in the first half of FY18, reducing debt by $36.0 million. 
 y A successful capital raising of $8.4 million was completed in September 2017. Together with the debt reduction noted above the  

Company’s balance sheet was significantly strengthened. 

Subsequent events

Bank debt restructure – The Company entered into negotiations with its Bankers, the National Australia Bank (NAB) regarding the 
future and structure of the bank debt. Thanks to the significant support of the NAB, who have been with the Company for many years,  
it was agreed on 7 September 2018 for a full and final settlement of all liabilities owing to NAB subject to the payment of approximately 
$5.0 million and satisfactory completion of several other obligations. The reduction in financial indebtedness totalled approximately 
$21.1 million comprising a $5.0 million repayment and a $16.1 million debt forgiveness. The full impact of this was discussed in the recent 
Capital Raising documents announced to the ASX and will be included in the January 2019 half year accounts. The debt restructure was 
completed on 12 October 2018.

Capital raising – On 13 September 2018, the Company successfully completed a capital raising of $1.2 million by way of a share placement 
to sophisticated and professional investors. Additionally, on 9 October 2018, the Company successfully completed a capital raising of 
$7.0 million by way of a 1 for 1 non-renounceable rights issue.

The combination of the above events has significantly restructured and strengthened the Group’s balance sheet which will further support 
the Group’s profitability improvement and strategic initiatives moving forward.

Remuneration policy for directors and executives

The objective of the Funtastic remuneration policy is to attract, retain and motivate the people required to sustainably manage and grow 
the business. Executive remuneration packages include a balance of fixed remuneration, short term cash incentives and long-term equity 
incentives. The framework endeavours to align executive reward with market conditions and shareholders’ interests.

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 Incentive Plan.

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.

Remuneration policy for directors and executives (continued)
Compensation and company performance 

Funtastic Limited’s Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) has been the key performance measure for 
the Company’s incentive plan for executives, linked to individual key performance objectives. 

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.

In 2018, Mr Steven Leighton was eligible for a Short-Term Incentive (“STI”) based on performance targets based on EBITDA and a service 
condition. If Mr Leighton is still in employment with the company at 31 October 2018 the service condition will be met and he will receive  
an STI payment of $144,000 based on performance achievements. In 2017 no STI payments were made.

Share based compensation
Options granted to directors and executives of the Company

During or since the end of the financial year, no options were granted under the Employee Share Loan Scheme (ESLS) over unissued  
ordinary shares in the Company to Directors or Executives as part of their remuneration.

Unissued shares under option

The ESLS is treated in substance as an option for accounting purposes and is therefore disclosed as share options in the Directors’ Report, 
Remuneration Report and in the Notes to the financial statements. Further details on the ESLS are set out in Note 29 of the financial 
statements. At 31 July 2018 and at the date of this report, there are no unissued shares of the Company under option.

Share Right Plans

Under the terms of his employment contract Mr Steven Leighton received a one-off grant on 26 October 2017 of 1,643,836 service rights 
as a sacrifice of $205,479.45 of Mr Leighton’s cash salary (fair value at the grant date of $0.125 (12.5 cents) per share).

The service rights vest on 31 October 2018 provided Mr Leighton has been in continuous employment with Funtastic from the 
commencement of his employment until the vesting date (the Service Condition). The service rights expire on 31 December 2021.

Mr Leighton has also been granted 1,800,000 performance rights with a total fair value at grant date of $225,000 (fair value at the grant date 
of $0.125 (12.5 cents) per share on 26 October 2017), each of which can be exercised for one fully paid ordinary share for nil consideration. 
The vesting date of the performance rights is 31 October 2018 and the performance rights expire on 31 December 2021. 

The number of performance rights to vest will be determined by the earnings per share (EPS) of Funtastic for the financial year ended  
31 July 2018 (excluding the effects of Funtastic’s debt restructure), as follows:
 y EPS of at least $0.0059 – 80% of performance rights to vest.
 y EPS of at least $0.0158 – 100% of performance rights to vest.

Vesting of the performance rights is also conditional on Mr Leighton meeting the Service Condition and approval of Funtastic’s FY2018 accounts.

Directors’ Report

Indemnity of officers and auditors

During the financial year the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring the directors of Funtastic Limited and all executive 
officers of the Company and of any related body corporate against a liability incurred as such director, secretary or executive officer to the 
extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount  
of the premium.

Non-audit services

Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor are outlined in Note 32  
to the financial statements. The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services, during the year, by the auditor (or by another 
person or firm on the auditor’s behalf) is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations 
Act 2001. 

The Directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in Note 32 to the financial statements do not compromise the external 
auditor’s independence, based on advice received from the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee, for the following reasons:
 y all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the 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 
of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing 
the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate for the Company  
or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards. 

Rounding of amounts to nearest thousand dollars

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.

A copy of the Auditor’s Independence Declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on page 31

Independent Auditor’s Report 

To the Members of Funtastic Limited 

Report on the audit of the financial report

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 2018 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 auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and

Material uncertainty related to going concern 
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Group generated a net profit from continuing 
operations of $28,167,000 during the year ended 31 July 2018, and as of that date, the Group’s liabilities exceeded its total 
assets by $14,266,000. We note the following, as detailed in Note 1: 

  Subsequent to year end the Company has agreed on a full and final settlement of its external debt with its external 

 

financier for a debt repayment of $5,000,000; and 
the Company completed a capital raising of $8,200,000 on 9th October 2018 with funds used to complete the final 
settlement of the external debt facility along with general working capital and costs of the raising.  

These events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may 
cast doubt on 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 respect of 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.  

In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have determined the 
matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. 

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Provision for inventory obsolescence – refer to Note 3 and 10 

Inventory is a material item within the statement of financial 
position and is valued using the weighted average cost 
methodology and is stated at the lower of cost and net 
realisable value in accordance with AASB 102 Inventories. 

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

Inventory primarily comprises discretionary consumer 
products, including toys and 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. 

  Documenting and understanding the underlying 

methodology upon which management's provision is based 
and considering 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.

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Asset impairment testing – refer to Note 3 and 15 

At 31 July 2018 the Group has $976,000 (2017: $4,287,000) 
in other intangible assets contained within separate cash 
generating units (CGUs). 

Management is required to perform an impairment test on 
infinite 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 operating performance of particular brands is an 
indication that the 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 other intangible assets. Measuring recoverable amount 
involves judgments about the future results of the underlying 
products and businesses as well as the discount and royalty 
rates applied. 

The Group recognised an impairment against other intangible 
assets totalling $1,951,000 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 ‘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; 

  Performing sensitivity analysis on the model in relation to

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 2018, 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.  

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_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our 
auditor’s report.

Notes to the Financial Statements 

31 July 2018

Funtastic   
Annual  
Report  
2018

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 31 October 2018.

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.

The profit for the period from continuing operations is $28,167,000. 

The net asset deficiency as at 31 July 2018 of $14,266,000 has been addressed post balance sheet date with the completion on  
12 October 2018 of a full and final settlement of the NAB bank debt, including a debt repayment of $5,000,000 and the satisfactory 
completion of other obligations. The reduction in financial indebtedness is approximately $21,100,000. The debt repayment was funded  
by a successful capital raising of $8,200,000 that was completed on 9 October 2018. The balance of funds from the capital raising were 
used for general working capital and to pay the costs of the raising.

Funtastic is now well positioned to deliver improved results in future years.

The ability for the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the following factors:
 y Sustaining the improved financial results through normal trading and achieving budgeted results
 y Continued support of creditors and customers through appropriate trading terms

The directors believe that the Group will be able to achieve the improved results and are satisfied that 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

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)  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. 

42

Funtastic   
Annual  
Report  
2018

Note 1:  Significant accounting policies (continued)

(b)  Income tax (continued)

(v)  Tax Consolidation (continued)

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

(c)  Foreign currency translation

(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.

Notes to the Financial Statements 

continued

Note 1:  Significant accounting policies (continued)

(f)  Rental Income 

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

(g)  Plant and Equipment

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

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line 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.

Note 1:  Significant accounting policies (continued)

(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.

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 and service 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 and service 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 and service 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.

Note 1:  Significant accounting policies (continued)

(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.

(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. 

3 years

Intangible assets are amortised, based on the useful live assessed by management, as follows:
 y Software 
 y Patents 
 y Trademarks 
10–20 years
 y Licensed distribution agreements  1–20 years
 y Brand names 

3–5 years

20 years

Note 1:  Significant accounting policies (continued)

(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).

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1:  Significant accounting policies (continued)

(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.

(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.

48

Funtastic   
Annual  
Report

Note 1:  Significant accounting policies (continued)

(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.

Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale,  
if earlier. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive  
income is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year.

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

Notes to the Financial Statements 

continued

Note 1:  Significant accounting policies (continued)

(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 2017.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 3:  Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)
Key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)

i)  Useful life and impairment 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.

The Group tests annually for intangible assets with indefinite useful lives or when impairment indicators are identified, whether intangible 
assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy. The recoverable amounts of the other intangible assets have 
been determined on a relief from royalty basis. These calculations require the use of assumptions. A significant change to the assumptions 
affects the recoverable amount of the other intangible assets.

ii)  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.

iii)  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.

iv)  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 FY2019, the Group has continued to not recognise 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.

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.

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

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.

(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 2018 the Australian Group has carried forward revenue tax losses of approximately $61,300,989 (2017: 97,527,433).  
As at 31 July 2018 a deferred tax asset of $nil (2017: $nil) has been booked relating to revenue tax losses and deferred assets relating  
to temporary differences of $nil (2017: $nil). The Company made losses in the 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 2018 of $61,300,989 and net deferred  
tax assets relating to temporary differences of $2,178,631 have not been booked as a deferred tax asset in these financial statements.

The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances. 

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

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

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.

As a result of the assessment of the carrying amount and the significant restructuring of the business in 2017, 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 the approved FY2019 budget and management’s view of longer term performance expectations. 
The estimated product life cycle was included in the calculation.

Outcome of assessment

A re-assessment of future performance expectations resulted in an impairment charge of $1,951,000 to the intangibles. (FY17 $2,981,000).

have been re-established through to 30 September 2018 in respect of the short-term facilities and 30 September 2020 in respect of the

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 a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder

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.

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 2018, 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.

(i)  This is mainly attributable to the exposure outstanding in USD receivables and payables at year end.

Forward foreign exchange contracts

At balance date, there were no purchase or foreign exchange contracts outstanding (2017: asset of $nil).

During the year ended 31 July 2018 a gain on hedging instruments for the Group of $88,000 (31 July 2017: loss $25,000) 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.

25-basis point increase in Interest rates

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

Bank loans of the Group currently bear an average variable interest rate of 7.45% (2017: 5.61%). It is the Group’s policy to protect part of the 
loans from exposure to increasing interest rates. However due to the loan restructure, the Group has not currently purchased any Swaps.

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

The swap currently in place covers 0% (2017: 29%) of the total debt outstanding with its senior lender. The fixed interest rate is not 
applicable (2017: 3.09%) and the variable rate is the bank bill rate of the term of the underlying bill which at balance date is not applicable  
(2017: 1.65%).

As at 31 July 2018, the notional principal amounts and the periods of expiry of the interest rate swap contracts for the Group were as follows:

Less than 1 year

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 2018, 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 29:  Share-based payments (continued)
Employee Share Loan Scheme (continued)

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.

Performance rights and service rights 

Performance rights

On 22 March 2018, Mr Leighton was granted 1,800,000 performance rights each of which can be exercised for one fully paid ordinary 
share in the Company. Subject to the vesting conditions being achieved, each performance right is exercisable for nil cash consideration.

The vesting date and the expiry date of the 1,800,000 performance rights is 31 October 2018 and 31 December 2021, respectively. 
Vesting of the performance rights is conditional on Mr Leighton meeting the Service Condition (which requires him to have been  
in continuous employment with the Company from the commencement of his employment until the vesting date) and the approval  
of the financial statements at the Annual General Meeting.

Furthermore, the number of performance rights that will actually vest on the vesting date will be determined by Funtastic’s reported 
earnings per share (adjusted to exclude the effect of Funtastic’s debt restructure) for the year ended 31 July 2018, with 80% of the rights 
vesting if Funtastic’s EPS is at least $0.0059 and 100% if Funtastic’s EPS is $0.0158.

Service rights

Mr Leighton was granted 1,643,836 service rights on 22 March 2018. The 1,643,836 service rights were granted to Mr Leighton in lieu  
of $205,479.45 of Mr Leighton’s cash salary which he agreed to sacrifice. In this light, each service right has a deemed price of $0.125.  
Each service right is exercisable into one fully paid ordinary share in the Company for no cash consideration subject to the Service 
Condition (which requires him to have been in continuous employment with the Company from the commencement of his employment  
until the vesting date) being satisfied.

(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:

The Company entered into negotiations with its Bankers, the National Australia Bank (NAB) regarding the future and structure of the bank 
debt. Thanks to the significant support of the NAB, who have been with the Company for many years, it was agreed on 7 September 2018 
for a full and final settlement of all liabilities owing to NAB subject to the payment of approximately $5.0 million and satisfactory completion 
of several other obligations. The reduction in financial indebtedness totalled approximately $21.1 million comprising a $5.0 million repayment 
and a $16.1 million debt forgiveness. The full impact of this was discussed in the recent Capital Raising documents announced to the ASX 
and will be included in the January 2019 half year accounts. The debt restructure was completed on 12 October 2018.

Capital raising 

On 13 September 2018, the Company successfully completed a capital raising of $1.2 million by way of a share placement to sophisticated 
and professional investors. Additionally, on 9 October 2018, the Company successfully completed a capital raising of $7.0 million by way  
of a 1 for 1 non-renounceable rights issue.

The combination of the above events has significantly restructured and strengthened the Group’s balance sheet which will further support 
the Group’s profitability improvement and strategic initiatives moving forwards.
