Funtastic / Annual Report 2020

Chair’s  
Report

“It has been a year of change for the Company.”

On behalf of the 
Board of Directors 
of Funtastic Limited 
(Funtastic, FUN 
or the Company), 
I am pleased to 
present our 2020 
Annual Report.

It has been a year of change for the 
Company. As outlined at last year’s 
Annual General Meeting, the Board and 
management identified three key strategic 
initiatives to drive the turnaround of the 
business and the year has been focused 
on executing these initiatives.

Firstly, we rationalised the product 
portfolio which included the exit of 
unprofitable product categories and 
streamlined the business to focus on 
product ranges offering growth potential. 
These included Funtastic own branded 
products such as Chill Factor, 
confectionery including our own X-treme 
range of products and the Razor range  
of outdoor scooters. As a result of this 
range review, the Company announced  
a restructuring of the business that is  
now largely complete and has delivered 
significant reductions in the fixed cost 
base of the business. Further cost 
reduction activity has included the 
implementation of a new ERP system 
delivering process improvement, 
increased efficiency and additional 
significant costs savings. Further cost 
reduction initiatives are ongoing in the 
drive to return the business to profitability.

The second strategic initiative was to 
introduce new product ranges, again  

with strong growth potential, within 
Funtastic’s core market of families with kids.  
During the year Funtastic successfully 
launched the Moochies range of smart 
watches for kids. Moochies provides a 
child’s first mobile phone while giving 
parents peace of mind and confidence 
 in their child’s security. In addition  
to the traditional sale and distribution  
of product through retail channels, 
Moochies provides the Company with  
a recurring revenue stream. Other new 
product ranges successfully introduced 
during the year include the Learning 
Resources range of kid’s educational 
products and a children’s range of arts 
and crafts products.

The final strategic initiative was to seek 
new businesses that met strict criteria  
in emerging growth sectors around 
families with kids. As recently announced, 
Funtastic expects to complete the 
acquisition of the Hobby Warehouse 
Group that houses the Australia and  
New Zealand e-commerce websites 
Toys”R”Us, Babies”R”Us and Hobby 
Warehouse. Under the terms of the 
agreement and subject to all required 
approvals, the acquisition is expected  
to be completed following the Annual 
General Meeting to be held on 
23 November 2020. The Company’s 
wholesale division will be expanded and 
strengthened to include a wider range  
of family oriented lifestyle products to 
complement its present brands and the 
Toys”R”Us, Babies”R”Us and Hobby 
Warehouse brands will be incorporated 
into Funtastic’s existing online retail 
division. This exciting acquisition is a 

significant step forward in the turnaround 
of the business and a strong foundation 
that will return the Company to profitability 
and is expected to deliver increasing 
shareholder value in the coming years.

On behalf of the Board I would like to 
take the opportunity to thank our loyal 
shareholders who have stood steadfastly 
behind the Company during the past 
financial year and especially JASZAC 
Investments Pty Ltd whose loan facility 
enabled the Company to successfully 
deliver our strategic initiatives and who 
have played an invaluable role in the 
acquisition of the Hobby Warehouse 
Group. We would also like to express our 
sincere thanks to our valued customers, 
business partners, suppliers and advisors 
for their continued support. We especially 
thank the management team and entire 
staff of Funtastic for their undivided 
commitment, dedication and loyalty and 
notably David Jackson who successfully 
steered the Company through a period  
of significant change and transformation, 
leaving the business in a far stronger 
position than when he joined us. We look 
forward to your continued support and 
contribution as we work together to 
improve the Company’s performance, 
driving shareholder return.

Corporate Governance Statement

The Corporate Governance principles that guide the operation of Funtastic Limited ACN 063 886 199 (Funtastic, FUN 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 2020 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.

This Corporate Governance Statement is current as at the date of this report and has been approved by the Board. The Company’s 
corporate governance policies, charters and policies are all available on the corporate governance section of the Company’s website 
at https://corporate.funtastic.com.au/investors/corporate-governance/

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:

•  establishing, monitoring and modifying Funtastic’s corporate strategies;

•  ensuring best practice corporate governance;

•  appointing the Chief Executive Officer and approving succession plans;

•  monitoring the performance of Funtastic’s management;

•  ensuring that appropriate risk management systems, internal control and reporting systems and compliance frameworks  

are in place and are operating effectively;

•  monitoring financial results;

•  ensuring that business is conducted ethically and transparently;

•  approving decisions concerning Funtastic’s capital, including capital restructures and dividend policy; and

•  ensuring effective external disclosure policies so that the market is fully informed on all matters that may influence the  

share price.

Board members have complete and open access to management.

The Company has a written agreement with each director and senior executive setting out the terms of their appointment  
and has an annual process for periodically evaluating the performance of its senior executives.

The Company Secretary provides advice and support to the Board and is responsible for the Company’s day to day governance 
framework. The Company Secretary is accountable directly to the Board, through the Chair, on all matters to do with the proper 
functioning of the Board.

The Chair, on behalf of the Board, undertakes a review of the Chief Executive Officer’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. An evaluation of the 
Chief Executive Officer’s performance was undertaken during the year.

The performance of senior management is evaluated by the Chief Executive Officer 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 be a business which is an appealing  
and rewarding place to work for all employees.

5

Funtastic / Annual Report 2020

Corporate Governance Statement continued

Funtastic has established a Diversity Policy which is published on the Company’s website. As at 31 July 2020 the Group’s mix of 
employees was as follows:

General employees

Funtastic has elected not to establish targets regarding 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. An internal evaluation of the performance of Board members and Committees 
was undertaken during the year.

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. The Board provides appropriate 
professional development opportunities for directors to develop and maintain the skills and knowledge needed to perform their 
role as directors effectively.

Principle 2:  Structure the Board to add value
Remuneration & Nomination Committee

The current members of the Remuneration & Nomination Committee are Mr Bernie Brookes, Mr John Tripodi and Ms Nicki Anderson. 
The chair of the Committee is Ms Nicki Anderson, a non-executive independent director.

The charter of the Remuneration & Nomination Committee is set out on the Company’s website.

The Remuneration & Nomination Committee has oversight of Board succession planning. It is also responsible for identifying 
suitable candidates to fill Board vacancies as and when they arise, or to identify candidates to complement the existing Board,  
and to make recommendations to the Board on their appointment. Where appropriate, external consultants are engaged to  
assist in searching for candidates.

Key focus areas of the Remuneration Committee during the financial year included:

•  ensuring that there was a robust and effective process for evaluating the performance of the Board, its committees and 

individual non-executive directors. In relation to the re-appointment of a non-executive director, the Committee reviewed  
the performance of the relevant non-executive director during their term of office and made recommendations to the Board.

The committee seeks advice and guidance, as appropriate, from external experts. The Board undertakes appropriate checks before 
appointing a person or putting forward to shareholders a candidate for election as a director. Additionally, the Board provides 
shareholders with all material information in its possession relevant to a decision on whether to elect or re-elect a director or not.

The Board undertakes appropriate checks in relation to the character, experience, education, criminal record and bankruptcy 
history for each of these candidates. A candidate standing for election as a non-executive Director will be asked to provide the 
Board, or the Remuneration & Nomination Committee, with the following information, which will be provided to shareholders  
to enable them to make an informed decision as to whether to elect or re-elect the candidate at the next annual general meeting:

•  biographical details, including the relevant qualifications and experience and the skills the candidate can bring to the Board;

•  details of any other material Directorships currently held by the candidate;

6

• 

in the case of a candidate standing for election as a Director for the first time:

–  any material adverse information revealed by the checks the Company has performed about the Director;

–  details of any interest, position, association or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence,  

in a material respect, their independent judgement;

– 

if the Board considers that the candidate will, if elected, qualify as an independent Director, a statement to that effect;

• 

in the case of a candidate standing for re-election as a Director:

– 

– 

the term of office currently served by the Director; and

if the Board considers the Director to be an independent Director, a statement to that effect; and

–  a statement by the Board as to whether it supports the election or re-election of the candidate.

In determining whether it will support the election or re-election of a Director, the Board will assess the above information and,  
in the case of Directors standing for re-election, the performance of each Director.

Board Membership

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

• 

• 

• 

the Board should comprise between 3 and 9 directors;

the Board should comprise directors with a broad range of skills and experience; and

the term of any appointment is subject to continuing shareholder approval.

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

At the commencement of the financial year, the Board comprised of three independent non-executive directors. The details of  
each director’s qualifications, experience and skills are set out on within the Director’s report within the Annual Report.

Board Matrix

The Committee has identified particular qualifications, attributes, skills and experience (“Skills”) that it believes important to be 
represented on the Board as a whole, in light of the Company’s current and expected future business needs. Each year, on behalf  
of the Board, the Remuneration & Nomination Committee reviews these skills to ensure that they are still relevant and appropriate 
in enabling the Board to provide constructive challenge to the Company’s strategy, evaluate company performance, execute the 
required governance functions and assess capital markets risks and opportunities. Each year, the Committee also reviews the 
capabilities of each current Director against these Skills.

The Board is satisfied that it has sufficient skills and experience in place in all critical areas. The skills identified ensure that key 
components of the Company’s strategy can be supported by the Board. They include:

•  high standards of governance, legal & regulatory compliance and financial management;

•  expanding the Company’s business both organically and through acquisition;

•  continuing to expand and deepen the range of products including growing own brands; and

•  providing an innovative and integrated offer to customers and clients.

7

Funtastic / Annual Report 2020

Corporate Governance Statement continued

Board and Director Independence

The Board has assessed the criteria for independence as outlined in the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s best practice 
recommendation 2.1. 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, all three directors are considered to be independent. It is the Board’s view that Mr Bernie Brookes, Mr John Tripodi  
and Ms Nicki Anderson are independent directors. Accordingly, a majority of the board are independent directors.

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

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

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

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

The tenure of service and qualifications for each director is as follows:

Director

Bernie Brookes

John Tripodi

Nicki Anderson

Term in Office

Independent Director and Chair since 1 August 2019

Independent Director since 25 October 2018

Independent Director since 25 October 2018

Qualifications

BA, Dip Ed

B Com, B Bus (Hons)

EMBA, B Bus, GAICD

The Board provides appropriate professional development opportunities for directors to develop and maintain the skills and 
knowledge needed to perform their role as directors effectively.

Work of Directors

Materials for Board meetings are circulated in advance. The agenda is formulated with input from the Chief Executive Officer  
and the Chair. 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 Chair 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.

8

Independent Professional Advice

Each director has the right to seek independent professional advice at the expense of Funtastic. Prior written approval of the Chair 
is required, which will not be unreasonably withheld. All directors are made aware of the professional advice sought and obtained.

Principle 3:  Act ethically and responsibly
Ethical Standards

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

Ethical Compliance

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

Dealings in Funtastic shares by Directors, Officers and Employees

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

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

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

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

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

Exceptions to this prohibition can be approved by the Chair (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 Committee

Funtastic has noted the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s best practice recommendation that listed companies have an 
independent director as Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee. This Committee is comprised of three non-executive directors:  
Mr Bernie Brookes, Ms Nicki Anderson and Mr John Tripodi. The Chair of this Committee is non-executive independent director 
Mr John Tripodi.

The charter of the Audit & Risk Committee is set out on the Company’s website.

The members of the Committee are each well credentialed with relevant qualifications and experience to enhance the Committee’s 
purpose and fulfil its objectives.

The Company maintains a corporate website which provides information freely and readily to current and potential security holders. 
Funtastic has actively designed and implemented an investor relations program to facilitate effective two-way communication with 
investors. A copy of Funtastic’s Communication Policy is set out on the Company’s website.

The Company actively engages with security holders as well as meeting with security holders upon request and responds to enquiries 
from time to time.

The Company provides the option for security holders to receive communications from, and send communications to, the entity  
and 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 Committee, in conjunction with 
management. The committee’s specific function with respect to risk management is to review and report to the Board that:

• 

the Company’s ongoing risk management program effectively identifies areas of potential risk;

•  adequate policies and procedures are designed and implemented to manage identified risks; and

•  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:

•  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;

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

and reports from management and external auditors;

The Board reviews the Company’s risk management framework at least annually to satisfy itself that it continues to be sound  
and discloses in relation to each reporting period that such a review has taken place. An internal evaluation of the Company’s  
risk management framework was undertaken during the year.

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 Committee. The Board received and reviewed the 
minutes of the meetings of all Board committees including the Audit & Risk Committee.

Economic, Environmental and Social Sustainability risk

The Company is not subject to any particular or significant single economic, environmental and social sustainability risk.  
The Company is subject to a range of general economic risks, including macro-economic risks, government policy, general  
business conditions, changes in technology and many other factors.

Principle 8:  Remunerate fairly and responsibly
Remuneration & Nomination Committee

The current members of the Remuneration & Nomination Committee are Mr Bernie Brookes, Mr John Tripodi and Ms Nicki 
Anderson. The chair of the Committee is Ms Nicki Anderson, a non-executive independent director.

The charter of the Remuneration & Nomination Committee is set out on the Company’s website.

Full details of the remuneration paid to non-executive and key management personnel are set out in the remuneration report 
within the Director’s report of this annual report. Annual performance reviews of each member of the Leadership Team,  
including the CEO, for the financial year have been undertaken.

12

Key focus areas of the Remuneration Committee during the financial year included reviewing and making recommendations  
to the Board in relation to the fixed and variable remuneration of the CEO and the executive team.

The Remuneration & Nomination Committee is appointed by the Board primarily to monitor, review, assess, recommend and approve:

• 

• 

• 

remuneration policies and practices which will serve to attract and retain executives and directors who will create value for 
shareholders. These policies and practices should fairly and responsibly reward executives and directors, having regard to the 
performance of the Company, the performance of the individual, and the general remuneration environment;

succession planning for Senior Executives who report directly to the Chief Executive Officer;

the remuneration, superannuation and incentive policies for Senior Executives who report directly to the Chief Executive 
Officer; and

•  all equity (short-term and long-term incentive programs) and cash-based remuneration plans.

The Remuneration & Nomination Committee provides additional support for the human resources strategy of Funtastic.  
It assists the Board by ensuring that the appropriate people, people related strategies, policies and procedures are in place  
to support Funtastic’s vision and values and its strategic and financial goals.

Remuneration & Nomination Committee Charter and Responsibilities

The committee is responsible for monitoring, reviewing, reporting and recommending to the Board with respect to each  
of the following:

• 

• 

• 

• 

the Company’s policy for determining executive and non-executive directors’ remuneration, superannuation, and incentives  
as well as any retention or other compensation payments, and any proposed amendments to the policy;

remuneration includes base pay, incentive payments, equity awards, retirement rights and service contracts;

the implementation of the remuneration policy;

the proposed specific remuneration for each non-executive and executive director, including the Chief Executive Officer, having 
regard to independent advice and the remuneration policy. The committee will need to determine whether any shareholder 
approvals are required. The remuneration of individual non-executive directors will ultimately be determined by the Board  
and approved in aggregate by the shareholders in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules;

• 

the proposed specific remuneration and other benefits for the direct reports of the Chief Executive Officer and the design  
of all incentive plans, including performance hurdles; and

• 

the total proposed payments from any executive incentive plan.

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

The review of the performance of the Chief Executive Officer is undertaken by the Remuneration & Nomination Committee,  
which recommends to the Board any remuneration adjustment or incentive payment.

The review of the performance of senior management is undertaken by the Chief Executive Officer who provides a 
recommendation to the Remuneration & Nomination Committee on any remuneration adjustments or incentive payments.  
The committee provides its recommendation to the Board for approval.

vendors of HWG (Vendor Shares). Of the Vendor Shares, 141 million shares will be escrowed for 12 months and a further 141 million

•  various other conditions under the terms of the acquisition.

The Equity Raising is a fully underwritten conditional placement comprising of the issue of up to 258.9 million new fully paid ordinary 
shares in the Group. Both the Placement and Debt Conversion will be subject to shareholder approval, which is to be sought at the 
annual general meeting to be held on 23 November 2020. New Shares issued will rank equally with existing ordinary shares on issue.

distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

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 & Nomination 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 & Nomination 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 & Nomination Committee to ensure they remain relevant.

19

Funtastic / Annual Report 2020

Directors’ Report 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

•  The Short-Term Incentive (STI) plan is linked to specific targets (predominantly financial) with the opportunity to earn  

incentives based on a percentage of fixed compensation.

•  Performance measurements have been applied to each component of STI and accordingly, entitlements were determined  
with consideration 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.

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 30 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 30 to the financial statements do not compromise the 
external auditor’s independence, based on advice received from the Audit & Risk Committee, for the following reasons:

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

of the auditor; and

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

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.

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

This directors’ report is signed in accordance with a resolution of directors made pursuant to s.298(2) of the Corporations Act 2001.

Independent Auditor’s Report 

To the Members of Funtastic Limited  

Report on the audit of the financial report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Funtastic Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises 
the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 July 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the 
year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting 
policies, and the Directors’ declaration.  

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: 

a  giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 July 2020 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 
the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for 
Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled 
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

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

Material uncertainty related to going concern 
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Group generated a net loss from continuing 
operations of $9,205,000 during the year ended 31 July 2020, and as of that date, the Group’s liabilities exceed its assets by 
$8,635,000. As stated in Note 1, 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. Our opinion is not 
modified in respect of this matter.

Independent Auditor’s Report continued

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 Note 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. 

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.  

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

  Documenting our understanding of internal processes and 
controls associated with the determination of the provision 
for obsolescence;  

  Documenting and understanding the underlying 

methodology upon which managements provision is based 
and considering for any changes from the previous year; 

  Testing the provision calculation for mathematical 

accuracy; 

  Analysing 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; 

  Performing analytical procedures and ratio analysis on the 
provision of obsolete inventory compared to previous 
periods to identify unusual trends; 

  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; and 

  Selecting a sample of inventory items and tracing to vendor 

invoices to ensure inventory is recognised at the 
appropriate cost. 

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 2020, 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.   

30

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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: https://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilites/ar1_2020.pdf. This description forms part of 
our auditor’s report. 

Report on the remuneration report 

Opinion on the remuneration report

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 July 2020

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 29 October 2020.

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 loss for the period from continuing operations is $9.2 million.

As at 31 July 2020 the current net liability position is $0.5 million. Non-current liabilities of $8.4 million are a long-term loan with  
no covenants and a due date of 31 December 2023.

The Group has entered into a secured loan agreement with Jaszac Investments Pty Ltd (Jaszac), for Jaszac to provide funding to the 
Company of an amount up to AUD$12.2 million for the purpose of general working capital. The final repayment date of the loan is 
31 December 2023. As at 31 July 2020 the balance of loan drawn was $7.5 million with interest owing of $0.9m giving a total liability 
of $8.4 million and the available loan limit as per the loan agreement was $10.375 million. Additionally, the Group has a working 
capital facility of AUD5.0 million plus USD5.0 million with Scottish Pacific Business Finance secured by the debtor assets of the business.

As detailed in note 32, subsequent to the balance date the Group has entered into a proposed transaction that includes a 
conditional capital raising and debt to equity conversion. If the proposed transaction is successful, the Group is expected to  
realise a significant net cash position that will strengthen its ability to continue as a going concern. 

Should the Group by unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise assets and extinguish liabilities at amounts 
different to those recorded in the financial statements.

The ability for the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the following factors:

• 

• 

• 

sustaining the improved financial results through current trading;

implementation of strategic initiatives to drive profitable growth;

securing additional funding either through debt, equity or a combination of both; and

•  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 deliver the strategic initiatives and  
are satisfied that the Group will continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the financial report has been prepared on a going  
concern basis.

37

Funtastic / Annual Report 2020

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

Basis of consolidation

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

•  has the power over the investee;

• 

is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

•  has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

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

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.

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.

38

(iv)  Tax Losses

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

(v)  Tax Consolidation

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities are part of a tax-consolidated Group under Australian taxation law. 
Funtastic Limited is the head entity in the tax-consolidated Group. Tax expense/revenue, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax 
assets arising from temporary differences of the members of the tax-consolidated Group are recognised in the separate financial 
statements of the members of the tax-consolidated Group using the “separate taxpayer within Group” approach by reference to 
the carrying amounts in the separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation.

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

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:

•  assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;

• 

income and expenses for each profit or loss presented are translated at the rates prevailing on the transaction dates,  
in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and

•  all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings  
and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to equity. When 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.

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.

39

Funtastic / Annual Report 2020

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

Revenue

Revenue arises mainly from the sale of goods to customers.

To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Group follows a 5-step process:

1. 

Identifying the contract with a customer.

2. 

Identifying the performance obligations.

3.  Determining the transaction price.

4.  Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations.

5.  Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.

Sale of Goods

The Group generates the majority of its revenue from the sales of goods. Sale of goods is recognised when the Group has 
transferred the control of goods to the customer. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised on delivery to the customer.

Government Grants

Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit and loss over the period necessary to match them  
with the costs that they are intended to compensate. Government payments received in relation to COVID-19 have been 
recognised under other income.

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

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest 
method less any allowances for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30-60 days.  
The Group has applied the simplified approach to measure expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance.  
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost less any allowance for expected credit losses.

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.

40

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.

Goods and services tax

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

•  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

• 

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 is classified as operating cash flows.

Leased Non‑Current Assets (before 1 August 2019)

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 18). 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.

Share‑based payments

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

The fair value of options and performance and service share rights granted under the Funtastic Executive Share Option Plan and 
Funtastic Employee Performance Share Rights Plan 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.

41

Funtastic / Annual Report 2020

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

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.

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.

Borrowing costs

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

• 

• 

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

finance lease charges; and

•  certain exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings.

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.

42

Intangible assets

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

Intangible assets are amortised, based on the useful live assessed by management, as follows:

•  Software 

•  Patents 

•  Trademarks 

3 years

20 years

3-5 years

•  Licensed distribution agreements 

1-3 years

•  Brand names  

3-5 years

Derivative financial instruments

The Group enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate risk, including forward 
contracts comprising foreign exchange forward contracts and options. Further details of derivative financial instruments are 
disclosed in Note 26 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.

Financial assets
Recognition and derecognition

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

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

Classification and initial measurement of financial assets

Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price 
in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).

43

Funtastic / Annual Report 2020

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

Subsequent measurement of financial assets

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

• 

• 

financial assets at amortised cost; and

financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).

Classifications are determined by both:

• 

• 

the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset; and

the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets.

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

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVPL):

• 

• 

they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows; and

the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the 
principal amount outstanding.

After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the 
effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of 
financial instruments.

Impairment of financial assets

AASB 9’s impairment model uses more forward-looking information to recognize expected credit losses – the ‘expected credit 
losses (ECL) model’. The application of the new impairment model depends on whether there has been a significant increase in 
credit risk.

The Group considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past 
events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of 
the instrument.

In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:

• 

• 

financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit  
risk (‘Stage 1’); and

financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not  
low (‘Stage 2’).

‘Stage 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. ‘12-month expected credit 
losses’ are recognised for the first category while ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ are recognised for the second category.

Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected  
life of the financial instrument.

44

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.

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.

License guarantee commitments

The Group enters into royalty agreements. 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 agreement. If, after calculating the net contribution relating to 
the products sold under the specific agreement, 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 the agreement is impaired. 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 is made through profit or loss.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

Discontinued operations

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business, the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly 
distinguished from the rest of the Group and which:

• 

• 

• 

represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations;

is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or

is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to re-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.

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:

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

or liabilities.

•  Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are 

observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

•  Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability  

that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Valuation techniques used to measure fair value shall be applied consistently. However, a change in a valuation technique or its 
application (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.

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 26 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.

46

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.

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 August 2019.

Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

Interpretation 23 clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income tax. The interpretation is to be applied to the determination  
of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates (‘tax amounts’), when there is uncertainty 
over income tax treatments under AASB 112 Income Taxes.

The Interpretation requires an entity to:

•  Use judgement to determine whether each tax treatment should be considered independently or whether some tax treatment 

should be considered together.

•  Assume that a taxation authority with the right to examine any amounts reported to it will examine those amounts and will 

have full knowledge of all relevant information when doing so.

•  Determine tax amounts on a basis that is consistent with the tax treatment included in its income tax filing is an entity 

concludes that it is probable that it is probable that a particular tax treatment will be accepted by the taxation authorities.

•  Determine tax amounts using the most likely amount or expected value of the tax treatment (whichever provides better 

prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty) where an entity concluded that it is not probable that a particular tax treatment 
will be accepted by the taxation authorities.

The Group has assessed that impact of Interpretation 23 and determined there is no impact to the financial statements.

AASB 16 Leases

In the current year, the Group has applied AASB16 Leases that is effective for annual periods that begin on or after 1 January 2019. 
AASB 16 replaces AASB 117 Leases and several lease related interpretations. The new Standard has been applied using the modified 
retrospective approach. Prior periods have not been restated and there have been no adjustments to opening retaining earnings.

AASB 16 introduces new or amended requirements with respect to lease accounting. It introduces significant changes to lessee 
accounting by removing the distinction between operating and finance leases and requiring the recognition of a right-of-use asset 
and a lease liability except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets where such recognition exemptions are adopted.  
In contract to lessee accounting, the requirements for lessor accounting have remained largely unchanged. The impact of the 
adoption of AASB 16 on the Group’s consolidated financial statement is described below.

The date of initial application of AASB 16 for the Group is 1 August 2019.

47

Funtastic / Annual Report 2020

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

The Group has applied AASB 16 using the cumulative catch-up approach which:

•  At commencement date measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments unpaid at that date.

•  Requires the Group to measure assets at the amount equal to liabilities with adjustments using accruals and prepayments.

•  Does not permit restatement of comparatives, which continue to be presented under AASB 117 and Interpretation 4.

Impact of the new definition of a lease

The Group has reassessed all contracts to determine if they contain a lease in accordance with the definition of a lease within  
AASB 117 and Interpretation 4.

The change in definition of a lease mainly relates to the concept of control. AASB 16 determines whether a contract contains  
a lease on the basis of whether the customer has the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange 
for consideration.

Impact on Lessee Accounting

AASB 16 changes how the Group accounts for leases previously classified as operating leases under AASB 117, which were  
off balance sheet.

Applying AASB 16, for all leases, the Group:

•  Recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position, initially measured at the 

present value of the future lease payments in accordance with AASB 16.

•  Recognises depreciation of right-of-use assets and interest on the lease liabilities in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

•  Separates the total amount of cash paid into a principal portion (presented within financing activities and interest presented 

within operating activities) in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Financial impact on initial application of AASB 16

The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to leases liabilities recognised under AASB 16 in the statement  
of financial position on 1 August 2019 is 12%.

The following is a reconciliation of total operating lease commitments at 31 July 2019 to the lease liabilities recognised at 
1 August 2019:

Comparatives

As described, the Group applied AASB 16 using the modified retrospective method approach and therefore comparative 
information has not been restated. This means comparative information is still reported under AASB 117.

Option to Extend

There is an option of this contract to renew it for a further 5 years which has not been included in the ROA and lease liability  
as it is unlikely that the lease will be extended.

48

Accounting policy applicable from 1 August 2019

For any new contracts entered into on or after 1 August 2019, the Group considers whether a contract is, or contains a lease.  
A lease is defined as a contract that conveys the right to use an asset (the underlying asset) for a period of time in exchange for 
consideration. To apply this definition the Group assesses whether the contract meets three key evaluations which are whether;

• 

• 

• 

the contract contains an identified asset, which is either explicitly identified in the contract or implicitly specified by being 
identified at the time the asset is made available to the Group;

the Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset throughout the 
period of use, considering its rights within the defined scope of the contract; and

the Group has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. The Group assess whether it  
has the right to direct ‘how and for what purpose’ the asset is used throughout the period of use. 

Leases are recognised are recognised as a right of use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset  
is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged 
to profit and loss over the lease period to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for 
each period. The right of use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight line basis. 
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis.

Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

• 

fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;

•  variable lease payments that are based on a fixed index or a rate as at the commencement date;

•  amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;

• 

the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

•  payments of penalties for terminating the lease if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s 
incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain  
an asset of similar value, in a similar economic environment, with similar terms and conditions.

Short-term leases and those where the underlying asset is of low value are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis  
over the lease term.

Operating leases before 1 August 2019

Lease payments for operating leases where substantially all the risk and benefits remain with the lessor are charged to the 
statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the lease term.

2.2  Accounting Standards issued but not yet effective and not early adopted

Any new or amended Accounting Standard or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

Other amending accounting standards

Other amending accounting standards issued are not considered to have a significant impact on the financial statement of the 
Group as the amendments provide either clarification of existing accounting treatment or editorial amendments.

Funtastic / Annual Report 2020

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

NOTE 3:  Critical accounting judgements 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.

i)  Useful life and impairment of intangible assets

Management has assessed the useful life of intangibles on the following basis:

•  Software – based on the licence or expected;

•  Patents and Trademarks – based on the contractual life of the patent;

•  Licensed distribution agreements – based on the term of the agreement or the expected Brand product life cycle; and

•  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 intangibles 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)  Allowance for expected credit losses

The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the lifetime 
expected credit loss grouped based on days overdue and industry type and makes assumptions to allocate an overall expected 
credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include recent sales experience and historical collection rates.

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 loss availability under the “continuity of ownership test”, and where applicable the “similar business test”. 
Based on the current assessment, determined using budget forecasts for FY2021, the Group has continued to not recognise an 
amount within the deferred tax asset or provision for deferred tax liability for temporary differences. Refer to Note 8 for details.

50

vi)  Coronavirus (COVID‑19) pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which 
continues to spread throughout Australia. The spread of COVID-19 has caused significant volatility in Australia and International 
markets. There is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well  
as its impact on the Australia and international economies. The longer term impacts of COVID-19 on the operations of the  
Group remain uncertain and cannot be quantified at this time.

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.

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 24.

(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 2020 the Group has carried forward revenue tax losses of approximately $62,474,699 (2019: $54,840,827) and  
capital tax losses of approximately $7,004,253. As at 31 July 2020 a deferred tax asset of $nil (2019: $nil) has been booked relating 
to revenue tax losses and deferred assets relating to temporary differences of $nil (2019: $nil). The Company has made losses in 
previous reporting periods. Following the assessment of the probability of recovery, having considered forecast future taxable 
income and current tax legislation with respect to carrying forward tax losses and temporary differences, the full balance of tax 
losses available at 31 July 2020 of $69,478,952 has not been booked as a deferred tax asset in these financial statements.

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 impairment.

As the carrying value of the intangible assets could not be supported by the after-tax royalty stream of the brand, AASB 136 
required performance of an impairment assessment of the intangible assets. 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 FY2021 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 $nil to the intangibles. (2019: $702,000).

NOTE 15:  Assets pledged as security
In accordance with the security arrangements of liabilities as disclosed in Note 16 to the financial statements, all assets of the  
Group have been pledged as security. The Group does not have the right to sell or re-pledge the assets.

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising  
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 16, 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.

Financial risk management objectives

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

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

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

Market risk

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

•  Foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the exchange rate risk arising on the import of goods denominated  

in US dollars; and

• 

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

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

In 2020, 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

Foreign currency risk management

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

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

US Dollars

The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign currency risk through  
foreign exchange rates fluctuations.

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities  
denominated in a currency that is not the Group’s functional currency. This is measured using sensitivity and cash flow forecasting.

In order to protect against exchange rate movements, the Group has entered into forward foreign exchange contracts. 
Management hedges between 50% and 100% of anticipated foreign currency transaction for the subsequent six months.

Foreign currency sensitivity

The Group is mainly exposed to the US dollar 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.

Forward foreign exchange contracts

At balance date, there were foreign exchange contracts outstanding with an equivalent AUD value of $1,145,311  
(2019: asset of $3,439,577).

During the year ended 31 July 2020 a loss on hedging instruments for the Group of $38,000 (31 July 2019: gain $30,000)  
has been brought to account.

70

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.

(i)  This is mainly due to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.

Loans of the Groups

Loans of the Group currently bear an average variable interest rate of 7.14% (2019: 7.35%) and a fixed interest rate of 12.0%.  
It is the Group’s policy to protect part of the loans from exposure to increasing interest rates. However, due to the current low  
risk to interest rate increases, the Group has not currently purchased any swaps.

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 monitored continuously 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.

Fair value of financial instruments

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

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

•  The fair value of derivative instruments is 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.

Planned acquisition

On 23 October 2020, the Group announced the acquisition of 100% of the Hobby Warehouse Group (HWG), the operator  
of the Australian retail websites Toys“R”Us, Babies“R”Us and Hobby Warehouse. Under the terms of the Acquisition, the Group 
will acquire HWG for total consideration of $32.6 million, which will be satisfied by the issue of 291 million shares at $0.112 to the 
vendors of HWG (Vendor Shares). Of the Vendor Shares, 141 million shares will be escrowed for 12 months and a further 141 million 
will be escrowed for 24 months from the completion of the acquisition. The acquisition is also conditional on the following:

•  a $29 million equity raising (Equity Raising) to fund the businesses, which is subject to shareholder approval;

• 

• 

Jaszac Investments converting $6m of the debt owed to it by the Company into equity at the same price as the Equity Raising;

shareholder approval of the acquisition and the issue of the Vendor Shares; and

•  various other conditions under the terms of the acquisition.

The Equity Raising is a fully underwritten conditional placement comprising of the issue of up to 258.2 million new fully paid ordinary 
shares in the Group. Both the Placement and Debt Conversion will be subject to shareholder approval, which is to be sought at the 
annual general meeting to be held on 23 November 2020. New Shares issued will rank equally with existing ordinary shares on issue.

COVID‑19

Subsequent to balance date, Victoria has experienced a second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of the COVID-19 
pandemic is ongoing and it is not practicable to estimate the impact after the reporting date. The situation continues to develop  
and the impact will be dependent on measures imposed by both Australian and foreign governments such as maintaining social 
distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

NOTE 33:  Contingent assets and liabilities
As of the 31 July 2020, the Group had a contingent liability of $2.36 million related to a potential claim against unpaid royalties 
associated with a terminated contract. The Group has sought legal advice in respect to this claim and based on this advice considers 
there to be a low probability that this claim will be successful in the future.

There are no contingent assets as at 31 July 2020.

NOTE 34:  General information
Funtastic Limited (the Company) is a limited company incorporated in Australia. The addresses of its registered office and principal 
place of business are disclosed in the introduction to the Annual Report. The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries
