At Toys”R”Us, we believe that toys have  
the power to change lives. Play enables  
children to develop their imagination,  
collaborate, problem solve, explore, create  
or simply express themselves spontaneously.

Our mission at Toys”R”Us is to encourage  
children to engage with as many forms of  
play as we possibly can.

We have relaunched in 2019, as a new  
company, to bring play back into the lives  
of children of all ages.

Chair’s  
Report

Fellow Shareholders, on 26th 
November 2020 your company 
raised $29 million via an 
institutional placement in order to 
acquire Louis Mittoni’s privately 
held Hobby Warehouse Group 
and implement an existing plan, 
“Project Play” to accelerate the 
growth of three shopper facing 
ecommerce pillars; Toys”R”Us, 
Babies”R”Us and Hobby Warehouse. 

“Project Play” was based upon 
connecting shoppers to the best 
emotions of the physical world  
with the convenience and range  
of a digital space. A “phygital” 
experience that would have more 
shoppers visiting, lingering longer, 
buying more, re‑visiting and bringing 
their friends and family to the site. 

From the $29 Million raised, net of 
agreed Jaszac, HWG and FUN debt 
repayment and fees, a balance  
of c.$20 million was committed to 
invest in accelerating the growth of 
these direct to shopper ecommerce 
pillars via investment in increasing 
warehousing capacity, pick & pack 
automation, digital awareness 
and increased inventory. 

By 31st July 2021 your company 
had achieved consolidated 
Proforma Revenue of $48.2m, and 
broken even at the EBITDA line.

Due to the freeing up of capital in 
non‑core lines of business, including 
sales of the confectionery division 
and Chill Factor, realising c.$2.45m, 
Toys”R”Us ANZ closed the financial 
year with a higher cash balance 
than planned at $17.3 million, 
even after the implementation of 
all planned capital expenditure.

New interim additional warehousing 
of 5,500sqm supported by 
state‑of‑the‑art Autonomous 
Mobile Robots (AMRs) became 
fully operational in early August 
2021 and has significantly 
increased your company’s sales 
revenue capacity, with head room 
on the supply side to support 
$120million in annual sales via 
this additional warehousing and 
automation investment.

In July 2021 we announced  
the lease for a new 19,650sqm 
purpose‑built warehousing, head 
office and experiential retail 
centre in Clayton, Victoria within 
60 minutes’ drive of the majority 
of Melbourne’s urban population. 

Ecommerce “platform play” 
businesses have significant growth 
potential and future value due to 
their ability to quickly and cost 
effectively expand their software, 
processes, partner relationships 
and brands into new countries.  
As we finalised this annual report, 
we announced that WHP, owner  
of the Toys”R”Us brand globally, 
had chosen Toys”R”Us ANZ to 
hold a 45 year licence to digitally 
phoenix the Toys”R”Us and 
Babies”R”Us brands in the  
United Kingdom. As a Toy  
market, the UK is c. 3 times  
larger than ANZ. Toys“R”Us  
UK achieved sales revenues of 
£421million ($780 million) in 2016 
prior to closing in late 2017. 

On behalf of all shareholders,  
I’d like to thank our CEO Louis 
Mittoni for leading the successful 
implementation of the agreed 
plan, faster and more cost 

03

effectively than previously 
envisaged. I’d like to thank my 
fellow Directors Nicki Anderson 
and John Tripodi for working 
alongside Louis to facilitate  
the implementation of the  
plan in ANZ. I would also like to 
thank Yehuda Shmidman, board 
observer on the TRU ANZ board, 
and Chair and CEO of WHP and 
Global licence holder Toys”R”Us 
Kids for his invaluable input  
into our digital phoenixing of  
the Toys”R”Us and Babies”R”Us 
brands in ANZ. Finally, I’d like  
to thank our shareholders who 
supported the placement and 
those who have joined the  
register over the course of the 
past 9 months, assisting your 
company achieve the growth  
to date. 

As Chair of Toys”R”Us ANZ,  
I again commit to you that  
your board of directors will  
work to make this next digital 
chapter, the longest and most 
successful chapter in your 
company’s history. 

Kevin A Moore FAICD, MCIM 
Chair of the Board 

8 November 2021

toys“R”us AnZ limited  Annual Report 2021

CEO’s  
Letter

It also heralded an era of  
closer cooperation with WHP  
as together we progress 
opportunities associated with 
these brands in Australia and  
in late October 2021 we proudly 
announced that WHP has further 
entrusted Toys“R”Us ANZ with  
the opportunity to operate the 
Toys“R”Us and Babies“R”Us 
brands in the United Kingdom.

Tailoring our successful 
Australian relaunch plan to the 
UK echoes the success of other 
e‑commerce ‘platform play’ 
businesses that have delivered 
growth and value due to their 
ability to quickly and cost 
effectively expand their software, 
processes, partner relationships 
and brands into new countries. 
The UK has one of the most 
advanced e‑commerce markets  
in Europe and the total 
addressable market for toys and 
games for 2020 was £3.3 billion, 
representing the largest toy 
market in Europe and the fourth 
largest globally. The opportunity 
in the Babies“R”Us addressable 
market is similar, if not greater,  
in its strategic significance.

This additional territory 
opportunity, very importantly, 
consolidates the company’s 
growth trajectory for the 
foreseeable future.

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

What an incredible year it has 
been for our Company during  
such extraordinary times. 
Commencing with the acquisition 
of the Hobby Warehouse Group on 
26 November 2020 and supported 
by investor funding via a $29 million 
placement, the Company realised 
its long‑stated strategy to seek 
business growth opportunities 
and pivot toward direct‑to‑
consumer channels in a category 
sector based around families and 
children. The acquisition included 
licenses to operate iconic brands 
Toys“R”Us and Babies“R”Us, 
alongside the Hobby Warehouse 
retail pillar plus the B2B logistics 
and distribution business Mittoni.

In the ensuing months, our 
Company actively and rigorously 
streamlined product lines and 
processes, reduced a number of 
costs and restructured selected 
operations. The decision to sell 
non‑core assets, including the 
confectionery business and  
Chill Factor intellectual property, 
supported alignment with the 
long‑term strategy and has 
rendered additional capital  
that will be reinvested elsewhere 
in the business. In addition,  
high overheads associated with 
third party services and toy 
distribution operations have  
been progressively restructured.

In March, we announced plans for 
a new interim 5,500 sqm 
warehouse facility which will see 
us through our anticipated growth 
needs in Australia for at least 
twelve months. 

The facility has enabled us to 
consolidate our operations into a 
larger location and implement a 
highly scalable state‑of‑the‑art 
Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) 
picking system. This technology in 
combination with new warehouse 
management systems has 
assisted us to accumulate further 
knowledge and expertise on  
how we can optimise operations 
and build foundations for a 
low‑overhead business as the 
Company continues to grow.

Following from this interim  
facility, in June 2021 we secured 
an agreement to lease new 
purpose‑built premises in the 
suburb of Clayton, Victoria  
that we expect will be ready to 
occupy in the second half of 2022. 
These new premises are being 
specifically configured as our 
company headquarters to house 
the Toys“R”Us ANZ immediate 
requirements for warehousing, 
office space and an experiential 
retail store. The total space 
occupied will be approximately 
19,258 sqm.

In June this year, with the 
approval and support of WHP 
Global (WHP) (the global 
Toys“R”Us and Babies“R”Us  
brand IP owners), shareholders 
overwhelmingly voted in favour  
of a change in company name  
to Toys“R”Us ANZ Limited.  
This is a key moment in the 
Company’s history as it marks  
the transition from predominantly 
B2B to a Business with direct‑to‑
consumer channels.

04

We will work 
diligently to 
execute our 
strategy and 
achieve the  
goals we have  
set to achieve  
that will lead  
to sustainable  
long-term value 
and growth for 
your company.

I’d like to thank Yehuda 
Shmidman, Chair and CEO  
of WHP Global, for his vision 
and confidence in us; the  
WHP Global and Tru Kids Inc 
teams for their incredibly 
invaluable insights and aid  
over the past two years.

I’d also like to thank you, our 
shareholders, for your trust, 
support and belief in our vision. 
We will work diligently to 
execute our strategy and 
achieve the goals we have  
set to achieve that will lead to 
sustainable long‑term value 
and growth for your company.

Yours sincerely

Louis Mittoni 
Managing Director  
and CEO

Toys“R”Us ANZ Limited

8 November 2021

As we look and plan ahead,  
we do anticipate a number  
of challenges in the areas of 
supply chain disruption, the 
need to safely manage the 
lingering effects of COVID‑19 
including the interim absence  
of staff and disruptions to 
operations from time to time 
due to isolation requirements, 
and customer delivery delays. 
We are carefully planning and 
managing these situations  
and expect them to improve 
over the coming year.

Finally, I would like to  
express my sincere thanks  
to our dedicated employees 
from warehouse, customer 
experience, buying and  
sales through to finance, 
administration and senior 
leaders. It’s their hard work, 
passion and commitment to  
our mission that’s enabling  
us to build a great company. 
Thank you, Lian Yu our COO, 
Howard Abbey our CFO,  
Kevin Moore our Chair,  
fellow Directors Nicki Anderson 
and John Tripodi and  
Patrick Raper our Company 
Secretary for their cohesive 
support throughout an  
event‑packed year.

Directors’ Report
(Cont.)

The Group’s statutory loss after income tax for the year ended 31 July 2021 was $5.1 million (2020: restated 
loss after income tax of $1.9 million). 

The statutory results above are based on continuing operations only. During the period the Company 
acquired the Hobby Warehouse Group (HWG) which includes e‑commerce businesses Hobby Warehouse, 
Toys“R”Us and Babies“R”Us and IT distributor Mittoni. 

The following results are based on unaudited management account proforma figures for the consolidated 
businesses for the 2021 financial year ending on 31 July 2021:

•  Consolidated Proforma Annual Revenue of $48.2m.

•  Consolidated Proforma Annual Gross Profit of $11.1m.

•  Consolidated Proforma Annual EBITDA of $0.0m.

•  Year End Cash at bank $17.3m.

•  Year End Net Assets $55.8m.

The above figures include contributions from the Hobby Warehouse Group on a proforma basis from the  
1st August 2020, in addition to significant items such as the operation and sale of discontinued businesses.

Operating review

Acquisition of the Hobby Warehouse Group

At the 2020 Annual General Meeting, held on 26 November 2020, shareholders approved a number of 
resolutions relating to the acquisition of the Hobby Warehouse Group (HWG) which includes e‑commerce 
businesses Hobby Warehouse, Toys“R”Us and Babies“R”Us and IT distributor Mittoni. The acquisition  
was accompanied by a capital raising of $35.0m, the repayment of all debt in the Company and the 
commencement of a mission to gain significant market share in the toys and hobbies industries through 
enriching the lives of people by encouraging exploration, creativity and living life more fully through the 
enjoyment of hobbies and toys. 

Change of Company Name 

Following the acquisition of HWG, the Group held an Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders on 
23 June 2021 to consider (amongst other things) the change of the name of the holding company of the 
Group from Funtastic Limited to Toys“R“Us ANZ Limited. Shareholders overwhelmingly approved this change 
and the ASX code was changed from “FUN to TOY shortly thereafter. The name change, accompanied  
by a change of logo, has signalled a new culture and a new more vibrant image for the Company and  
has enhanced the marketing base from which to pursue the Company’s significant growth targets.

Product Line rationalisation

In the period following the acquisition of HWG, the Company reviewed the suitability of its portfolio of brands. 
Following the review, the Group embarked upon the sale of non‑core businesses. Sale of the Confectionery 
business was finalised in February 2021 for $1.3m and sale of the Chill Factor business was finalised in July 
2021 for $1.75m. The Group also wound down the distribution relationships of Moochies and Razor products.

Relaunch of Babies”R”Us

Babies“R”Us re‑entered the Australian market on 11 August 2021 with the deliberate soft launch of a newly 
created web site. The relaunch focused on “ease of shopping” through intelligent product categorisation 
and an expert understanding of the needs of parents and carers. The new website initially features more 
than 3,000 products and 62 market leading brands such as Bugaboo, Bonds, Baby Jogger, Philips Avent, 
Tommee Tippee and many more. The range is on track to grow strongly over coming weeks to a customer 

08

offering of more than 5,000 products including exclusive and limited release items. The forthcoming 
strategically planned marketing and awareness campaign, through social platforms, direct marketing  
and media, is set to generate a high degree of interest and traffic to the site as Babies“R”Us looks to gain 
presence in the market. This online market growth will provide a solid platform to merge into a physical 
experiential environment, focused on expert advice, in 2022.

Warehouse Facilities Relocation

The acquisition and integration of HWG combined with the achieved and planned growth of the Company has 
provided both the opportunity and requirement to secure larger and more efficient distribution capabilities. 
The Company moved to larger temporary premises in Dandenong South and simultaneously implemented 
both a state‑of‑the‑art warehouse management system and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) that have 
increased the capacity and efficiency of logistics processes. These facilities have the capabilities to service 
the growth ambitions of the Company for the next 6‑ 12 months, including the upcoming peak toy trading 
season.

In July 2021 the Company secured a lease in relation to a purpose built, state‑of‑the‑art warehouse 
distribution and adjoining head office facility located in the suburb of Clayton, within the Victorian City  
of Monash. The new premises have been specifically designed and configured to house the Toys“R”Us  
ANZ headquarters and to accommodate the Company’s medium‑term requirements for warehousing,  
office space and an ancillary experience centre.

Key aspects of the new facility are:

•  Total facility building size: ~ 19,650 m2.

• 

Location: Clayton, Victoria.

•  Target date for completion and lease commencement: ~ June 2022.

•  Developer and Lessor: ESR Australia.

The initial lease is for a 10‑year period and includes two further 5‑year extension periods at the option of  
the Company. Development of the facility, including installation of state‑of‑the‑art logistics technology 
and fit out of all offices, is expected to be completed in time for occupancy and lease commencement in 
approximately June 2022.

Significant changes in the state of affairs
On 23 October 2020 the Company announced a significant acquisition and refinancing of the Group.  
The transaction included the acquisition of all the issued capital in the Hobby Warehouse Pty Ltd,  
Toys”R”Us Licensee Pty Ltd and Mittoni Pty Ltd, which together comprise the Hobby Warehouse Group 
(HWG). HWG owns one of Australia’s largest baby, toy and hobby databases, with more than 1 million 
subscribers and generated unaudited revenue of $28.6 million for FY20. Toys“R”Us re‑entered the Australian 
market in June 2019 following HWG’s execution of a license agreement (TRUK License) with TRU Kids Inc.,  
the US‑based owners of the Toys“R”Us and Babies“R”Us brands for the exclusive rights to use the Toys“R”Us 
and Babies“R”Us brands in Australia and New Zealand.

Consideration for the acquisition was the issue of 291.2 million fully paid ordinary shares issued at a  
market price $0.11 per share ($32.0 million), representing approximately 1.1x HWG FY20 unaudited revenue.  
In addition, 1,223,092 shares were issued to TRU Kids Inc. as consideration for the extension of the TRUK 
License by 12 years to 31 May 2041. The transaction completed on 26 November 2020 and since that date  
the HWG entities have been wholly owned subsidiaries of Funtastic Limited.

Concurrent with the above transaction, the Company completed a fully underwritten institutional 
placement of 258.9 million shares at an issue price of $0.112 per share to raise $29 million. Canaccord 
Genuity (Australia) Limited was the underwriter and lead manager of the placement.

The Company also converted $6 million of its debt facility with major shareholder Jaszac Investments  
Pty Ltd (Jaszac) to shares issued at the placement price of $0.112 and further agreed with Jaszac that the 
balance of approximately $3 million of Jaszac debt was to be repaid from the proceeds of the placement.

was settled in cash.

a bank guarantee related to the new warehousing and head office facility currently being developed  
in Clayton, Victoria.

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

Principles of Compensation

The Remuneration and 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 directors and executives capable of managing the 
consolidated entity’s diverse operations.

Compensation of the senior executives is reviewed on an annual basis by the Remuneration and 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 

14

the operations of the Group and to effectively align the long‑term interests of the directors, executives and 
shareholders. The performance conditions are assessed periodically by the Remuneration and Nomination 
Committee to ensure they remain relevant.

Compensation and company performance

Toys“R”Us ANZ 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

Short‑Term Incentives

•  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.

Directors’ Report
(Cont.)

Indemnity of and insurance of officers
The Company has indemnified the directors and executives of the Company for costs incurred, in their 
capacity as a director or executive, for which they may be held personally liable, except where there is  
a lack of good faith.

During the financial year the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the directors and 
executives of the Company and of any related body corporate against a liability 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.

Indemnity and insurance of auditor
To the extent permitted by law, the Company has agreed to indemnify its auditors, RSM Australia Partners, 
as a part of its audit engagement agreement against claims by third parties arising from the audit (for an 
unspecified amount), other than a loss arising from RSM Australia Partners negligent, wrongful or wilful 
acts or omissions. No payment has been made to indemnify RSM Australia Partners during the financial 
year or up to the date of this report.

Proceedings on behalf of the Company
No person has applied to the Court under section 327 of the corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring 
proceedings on behalf of the Company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party 
for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or part of those proceedings.

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 31 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 31 to the financial statements do  
not compromise the external auditor’s independence, based on advice received from the Audit and Risk

Notes to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements

for the year ended 31 July 2021

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

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. 

Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group 
only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in Note 32.

Going concern basis of accounting

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of 
normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the payment of liabilities in the normal course 
of business.

As disclosed in the financial statements, the Group has incurred a loss from continuing operations of 
$5.089 million and cash outflows from operating activities of $3.915 million for the year ended 31 July 2021. 

During the year, the Group successfully completed a capital raising and used a portion of the funds to pay 
out in full all loans and debt facilities and as at the reporting date, has a cash balance of $17.3 million.

The acquisition of Hobby Warehouse Group (HWG) during the year (refer Note 27 for further details)  
and the capital raising has given the Group the opportunity to grow its revenues and, after a period of 
reorganisation and investment in efficiencies and logistics, to secure profits and positive cash from 
operating activity.

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. 

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities 
controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries), together 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.

29

toys“R”us AnZ limited  Annual Report 2021

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Cont.)

NOTE 1:  Significant accounting policies (cont.)

Basis of consolidation (cont.)

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. 

Operating segments

Operating segments are presented using the ‘management approach’, where the information presented is on 
the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’). The CODM 
is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

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 Toys“R”Us ANZ 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;

30

NOTE 1:  Significant accounting policies (cont.)

Foreign currency translation (cont.)

• 

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.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the consolidated entity is 
expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods to a customer. 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

(i)  Sale of Goods

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

(ii)  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.

(iii)  Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

Income tax

(i)  Current tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period’s taxable income based 
on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and 
liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior 
periods, where applicable. 

31

toys“R”us AnZ limited  Annual Report 2021

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Cont.)

NOTE 1:  Significant accounting policies (cont.)

Income tax (cont.)

(ii)  Deferred tax

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

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

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

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

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

(iii)  Current and deferred tax for the period

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also 
recognised directly in equity. 

(iv)  Tax Losses

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

(v)  Tax Consolidation

The company and its wholly‑owned Australian resident entities are part of a tax‑consolidated Group  
under Australian taxation law. Toys“R”Us ANZ 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. 

32

NOTE 1:  Significant accounting policies (cont.)

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.

Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non‑current 
classification. 

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed 
in the Group’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be 
realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless 
restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting 
period. All other assets are classified as non‑current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Group’s normal operating 
cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the 
reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least  
12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non‑current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non‑current.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits at call with financial institutions, other short‑term, 
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to 
known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts are 
shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position. 

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.

33

toys“R”us AnZ limited  Annual Report 2021

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Cont.)

NOTE 1:  Significant accounting policies (cont.)

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. Cost comprises of direct materials and delivery costs, 
import duties and other taxes. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and 
discounts received or receivable. 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. 

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

(i)  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.

(ii)  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).

(iii)  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

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

34

NOTE 1:  Significant accounting policies (cont.)

Financial assets (cont.)

Classifications are determined by both:

•  The entity’s business model for managing the financial asset 

•  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.

(iv)  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

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.

(v)  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. 

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.

NOTE 1:  Significant accounting policies (cont.)

Plant and Equipment (cont.)

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

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic 
benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal 
proceeds are taken to profit or loss. 

Right-of-use Assets

A right‑of‑use asset is recognised at the commencement of a lease. The right‑of‑use asset is measured  
at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for, as applicable, any lease 
payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct 
costs incurred and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be 
incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset and restoring the site or asset.

Right‑of‑use assets are depreciated on a straight‑line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the 
estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership of 
the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right‑of‑use 
assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. 

The Group has elected not to recognise a right‑of‑use asset and corresponding lease liability for short‑term 
leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low‑value assets. Lease payments on these assets are 
expensed to profit and loss as incurred.

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. 

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested 
annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might  
be impaired and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill  
are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed.

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   1–20 years

NOTE 1:  Significant accounting policies (cont.)

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

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.

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.

Contract liabilities

Contract liabilities represent the consolidated entity’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a 
customer and are recognised when a customer pays consideration, or when the consolidated entity 
recognises a receivable to reflect its unconditional right to consideration (whichever is earlier) before the 
consolidated entity has transferred the goods or services to the customer.

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.

NOTE 1:  Significant accounting policies (cont.)

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. 

Lease liabilities

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially 
recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted 
using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated 
entity’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives 
receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under 
residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably 
certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not 
depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. 

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts 
are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an 
index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination 
penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right‑of use 
asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right‑of‑use asset is fully written down.

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.

38

NOTE 1:  Significant accounting policies (cont.)

Employee benefits

(i)  Wages and salaries annual leave and long service 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. Consideration is given to expected future 
wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future 
payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to 
maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

(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.

(v)  Share‑based payments

Share‑based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Company Employee Incentive Plan.

The fair value of options and performance and service share rights granted under the Company Employee 
Incentive 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.

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 incentive plan is recognised as an employee 
benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity when the employees become entitled to the shares.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Cont.)

NOTE 1:  Significant accounting policies (cont.)

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.

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.

40

NOTE 1:  Significant accounting policies (cont.)

Business combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether 
equity instruments or other assets are acquired. 

The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition‑date fair values of the assets transferred,  
equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the 
amount of any non‑controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non‑controlling 
interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s 
identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss. On the acquisition  
of a business, the Group assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate 
classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group’s 
operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition‑date.

Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition‑date fair  
value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or 
liability is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured  
and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

The difference between the acquisition‑date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and  
any non‑controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the  
fair value of any pre‑existing investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration 
transferred and the pre‑existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, 
being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by  
the acquirer on the acquisition‑date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement  
of the net assets acquired, the non‑controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred 
and the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquirer. 

Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively 
adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during  
the measurement period, based on new 

information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition‑date.  
The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition  
or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Toys “R” Us  
ANZ Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average 
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary 
shares issued during the financial year.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to  
take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive 
potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for  
no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

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 
are classified as operating cash flows.

Rounding of amounts

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.

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 2020.

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.

NOTE 3:  Critical accounting judgments and key sources of  
estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 1, the directors are 
required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and 
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions  
are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results  
may differ from these estimates.

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

42

NOTE 3:  Critical accounting judgments and key sources of  
estimation uncertainty (cont.)

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

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 cash‑generating units have been determined based on value‑in‑use 
calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based  
on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows. 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 FY2022, the Group has continued to not recognise an amount within the deferred tax asset  
for temporary differences. Refer to Note 8 for details.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty (cont.)

(v)  Coronavirus (COVID‑19) pandemic

Events related to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID‑19) have resulted in continued uncertainty as to  
ongoing and future response of governments and authorities globally, as well as a likelihood of an 
Australian economic recession of unknown duration or severity. As such, the full impact of COVID‑19 to 
consumer behaviour, suppliers, employees and the Group are not fully known. Given this, the impact of 
COVID‑19 could potentially be materially adverse to the Group’s financial and operational performance. 
Further, any government or industry measures may adversely affect the Group’s operations and are  
likely to be beyond the control of the Group. The longer‑term impacts of COVID‑19 on the operations  
of the Group remain uncertain and cannot be quantified at this time.

NOTE 4:  Operating segments 

Identification of reportable operating segments

Subsequent to the acquisition of the Hobby Warehouse Group on 26 November 2020 (refer Note 27 for further 
details), and based on the internal reports reviewed by the Board of Directors and KMP (who are identified 
as the Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’) to make strategic and operating decisions, assess 
business performance and in determining the allocation of resources, management has determined that  
the Group has two operating segments, being Business to Consumer (B2C) and Business to Business (B2B). 

The CODM reviews EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation). The accounting 
policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial 
statements. The information reported to the CODM is on a monthly basis. 

Information about products and services

The principal products of each of these operating segments are as follows:

•  B2C – direct‑to‑consumer sale of consumer products (toys, hobby and baby goods) and 

•  B2B – wholesaling and distribution of IT products.

Intersegment transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation. There were no inter‑segment 
transactions during the year or account balances at 31 July 2021. 

The directors have assessed that there are no major customers.

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 Toys”R”Us ANZ Limited. The members of the tax‑consolidated Group 
are identified in Note 24.

54

 
 
NOTE 8:  Income tax (cont.)

Tax consolidation (cont.)

(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, Toys”R”Us ANZ 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.

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.

There were no additions to the right‑of‑use assets during the current and previous years. 

Following the acquisition of the Hobby Warehouse Group, the Group has no requirement for its leased  
office premises in Mount Waverley and has unsuccessfully been seeking a tenant to sub lease the premises. 
As the Group expects no future economic benefit from this right‑of‑use asset, it has been fully impaired.

As at 31 July 2021, the Group leased office and warehouse premises under agreements of less than  
one year. These leases are either short‑term or low‑value, so have been expensed as incurred and not 
capitalised as right‑of‑use assets.

Impairment testing – Intangible Assets

Recoverability of software and licenses has been assessed at the time of creation/subscription based  
on their useful life and is then amortised accordingly. All software and licenses are reviewed for their 
usefulness and validity annually and impaired if required. 

The remaining intangible assets have arisen on the acquisition of the Hobby Warehouse Group (HWG).  
The fair values of these assets have been assessed as shown in Note 27. 

The Group has identified that there are two cash‑generating units which are aligned with the operating 
segments disclosed in Note 4 and against which goodwill and other intangible assets are allocated and tested.

The recoverable amount of the Group’s goodwill has been determined by a value‑in‑use calculation using a 
discounted cash flow model, based on budgets for FY 2022 approved by the Board and extrapolated for a 
further 4 years using a steady rate, together with a terminal value.

Key assumptions

Key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount of the cash‑generating units is most sensitive. 
The following key assumptions were used in the discounted cash flow model for the CGUs:

Revenue and expenses for FY 2022

Projected revenue and cost of sales growth rate per annum after budget period

Projected operating costs and overheads increase after budget period

Pre‑tax discount rate

Long‑term growth rate

The pre‑tax discount rates reflect management’s estimate of the time value of money and the Group’s weighted 
average cost of capital, the risk‑free rate and the volatility of the share price relative to market movements.

Management believes the projected revenue growth rates are prudent and justified, based on historical 
performance of the businesses.

Outcome of impairment assessment

Based on the above:

• 

• 

the recoverable amount of B2C CGU exceeded the carrying amount by $8.1 million

the recoverable amount of B2B CGU exceeded the carrying amount by $6.5 million.

Sensitivity

As disclosed in Note 3, the directors have made judgements and estimates in respect of impairment testing 
of goodwill.

62

NOTE 14:  Non-current Assets – Goodwill and Other Intangibles (cont.)

Impairment testing – Intangible Assets (cont.)

Should these judgements and estimates not occur, the resulting goodwill carrying amount may decrease. 
The sensitivities are as follows:

B2C

•  Revenue during the budget period would need to be 10% lower for goodwill to be impaired, with all other 

assumptions remaining constant.

•  Revenue and cost of sales growth after budget period would need to be 5.7% or less for goodwill would 

need to be impaired, with all other assumptions remaining constant.

•  The pre‑tax discount rate should be 20.3% or more for goodwill to be impaired, with all other 

assumptions remaining constant.

B2B

•  Revenue during the budget period would need to be 27% lower for goodwill to be impaired, with all other 

assumptions remaining constant.

•  Revenue and cost of sales after budget period would need to decrease by more than 9.1% for goodwill  

to be impaired, with all other assumptions remaining constant.

•  The pre‑tax discount rate should be 40.7% or more for goodwill to be impaired, with all other 

assumptions remaining constant. 

Management believes that other reasonable changes in the key assumptions on which the recoverable 
amount of both the CGUs’ goodwill is based would not cause the CGUs’ carrying amount to exceed its 
recoverable amount.

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.

NOTE 16:  Borrowings (cont.)

During the year, the company undertook a capital raising of $35.0 million (including $6.5 million of which 
was used to convert existing debt to equity) and used a portion of the proceeds from the capital raise 
($2.3 million) to repay the debt with JASZAC Investments in full. The Group also cancelled its debtor 
factoring facilities with Scottish Pacific.

(i)  The provision for employee benefits represents annual leave and long service leave entitlements accrued. 
(ii)  The current provision for employee benefits includes all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed 

the required period of service and also those where employees are entitled to pro‑rata payments in certain 
circumstances. The entire amount is presented as current, since the Group does not have an unconditional right  
to defer settlement. However, based on past experience, the Group does not expect all employees to take the full 
amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months.

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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Cont.)

NOTE 26:  Financial Instruments (cont.)

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 2021, while there has been a recent stabilisation of low variable interest rates there has been no material 
change to the Group’s exposure to market risk or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk. 

Foreign currency risk management

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

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

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.

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

Forward foreign exchange contracts

At balance date, there were foreign exchange contracts outstanding with an equivalent AUD value of $Nil 
(2020: asset of $1,145,311).

During the year ended 31 July 2021 a loss on hedging instruments for the Group of $Nil (31 July 2020: loss 
$38,000) has been brought to account. 

Interest rate risk management

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

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

Interest rate sensitivity

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates to the Group at 
the reporting date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held 
constant throughout the reporting period. The Group considers the likelihood of a 25‑basis point increase or 
a 25‑basis point decrease to be reasonable when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management 
personnel, as this represents management’s best estimate of the possible change in interest rates.

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

Loans of the Group

The Group has no loans at 31 July 2021. In the prior period, loans had an average variable interest rate of 
7.14% and a fixed interest rate of 12%. 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.

The above figures Include financial instruments pertaining to discontinued operations (assets classified  
as held for sale) as well. 

Fair value of financial instruments

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

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

•  The fair value of derivative instruments are calculated using quoted prices. Where such prices are  

not available, discounted cash flow analysis using the applicable yield curve for the duration of the 
instruments for non‑optional derivatives and option pricing models for optional derivatives is used.

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

Fair value measurements recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position

Fair value measurements are discussed in Note 1 and in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

NOTE 27:  Business combinations
On 23 October 2020 the Company announced a significant acquisition and refinancing of the Group.  
The transaction included the acquisition of all the issued capital in the Hobby Warehouse Pty Ltd, Toys”R”Us 
Licensee Pty Ltd and Mittoni Pty Ltd, which together comprise the Hobby Warehouse Group (HWG). 

HWG owns one of Australia’s largest baby, toy and hobby databases, with more than 1 million subscribers 
and generated unaudited revenue of $28.6 million for FY20. Toys“R”Us re‑entered the Australian market in 
June 2019 following HWG’s execution of a license agreement (TRUK License) with TRU Kids Inc., the US‑based 
owners of the Toys“R”Us and Babies“R”Us brands for the exclusive rights to use the Toys“R”Us and 
Babies“R”Us brands in Australia and New Zealand.

Details of the business combination are provided below and the values identified in relation to the 
acquisition of HWG are final as at 31 July 2021.

NOTE 27:  Business combinations (cont.)

The consideration transferred to purchase the Hobby Warehouse Group was 291,205,818 fully paid ordinary 
shares in Funtastic Limited at a value of $0.11, being the closing price on 25 November 2020, indicating a 
fair value consideration for the transaction of $32.033 million. Transaction costs of the acquisition (included 
in cash flows from operating activities) were $0.691 million, which have been expensed to the profit and loss. 

From the date of acquisition to 31 July 2021, the HWG acquisition contributed $21.8 million of revenue and 
$0.6 million of loss before tax to the Group. Had HWG been owned for the full reporting period, HWG would 
have contributed $33.1 million of revenue and $0.5 million of profit to profit before tax to the Group.

NOTE 28:  Share-based payments

(a)  Expenses recognised 

An expense of $1,453,800 ($2020: Nil) has been recognised in the profit and loss in relation to share‑based 
payments granted during the period. 

(b)  Share options and share appreciation rights 

An employee incentive plan has been established by the Group and approved by shareholders at a general 
meeting whereby the Group may, at the discretion of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, grant 
options and rights over ordinary shares in the company to directors and employees. The grant of options and 
rights forms a part of the Company’s long term incentive objectives to encourage directors and employees to 
have a greater involvement in the achievement of the Company’s objectives. Options and rights provide an 
incentive to strive to that end by participating in the future growth and prosperity of the Company through 
share ownership. The options and rights are issued for nil consideration and are only subject to a vesting 
condition relating to the participant’s continued employment with the Company. The options and rights must 
be exercised before their expiry date, or they will lapse. On the exercise of an option, the holder must pay to 
the Company the relevant exercise price multiplied by the number of options being exercised by the holder.  
The Company will issue the holder with a share for each option or right that the participant validly exercises.

Independent Auditor’s Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT  
To the Members of Toys“R”Us ANZ Limited (formerly Funtastic Limited) 

Opinion 
We have audited the financial report of Toys“R”Us ANZ Limited (formerly Funtastic Limited) (“the Company”) and 
its  subsidiaries  (together  referred  to  as  “the  Group”)  which  comprises  the  consolidated  statement  of  financial 
position as at 31 July 2021, the consolidated statement of  profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the 
consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, 
and notes to the 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:  

(i) 

giving  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  Group’s  financial  position  as  at  31  July  2021  and  of  its  financial 
performance for the year then ended; and 

(ii) 

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 confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to 
the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's 
report. 

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

Key Audit Matters 
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of 
the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial 
report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matters (continued) 

Key Audit Matter 

How our audit addressed this matter 

Accounting for business combinations 

Refer to Note 27 in the financial statements 

On 26 November 2020, the Group acquired a 100% interest 
in Hobby Warehouse Pty Ltd, Toys R Us Licensee Pty Ltd 
and  Mittoni  Pty  Ltd,  together  referred  to  as  the  Hobby 
Warehouse  Group  (HWG)  under  a  share  purchase 
agreement, for a consideration paid in shares.  

This transaction was treated as a business combination in 
accordance  with  AASB  3  Business  Combinations.  As  a 
result of the provisional Purchase Price Allocation (“PPA”) 
exercise, net assets were measured at a fair value of $2.34 
million  and  a  resultant  goodwill  of  $29.69  Million  was 
recognised.   

The accounting for business combination was considered a 
Key  Audit  Matter  as  the  accounting  for  the  transaction  is 
complex  and  involves  significant  judgements  in  applying 
the accounting standards.  

These  matters  include  the  identification  of  the  acquirer, 
recognition  and  valuation  of  consideration  paid, 
the 
determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and 
liabilities  assumed  and  the  identification  and  valuation  of 
intangible assets not previously recognised by the business 
acquired.  

Our audit procedures included, among others:  

•  Obtaining  the  share  purchase  agreement  and  other 
associated documents and ensuring that the transaction 
had been accounted for in compliance with AASB 3;  

• 

Testing  the  values  of  the  share  consideration  to  the 
signed share purchase agreement;  

•  Reviewing management’s process for the identification 
of  the  accounting  acquirer,  calculation  of  purchase 
consideration,  acquisition  date,  determinations  of  fair 
values  of  identified  assets  acquired  and  liabilities 
assumed, 
reasonableness  of  any  underlying 
assumptions and the resultant goodwill;  

the 

•  Assessing  the  valuation  models  prepared  by  the 
management to value the intangible assets identified in 
the  acquired  business,  and  engaging  our  internal 
valuation specialists to challenge the assumptions and 
methodology used by management; and  

•  Reviewing the adequacy of the relevant disclosures  in 
the financial report in compliance with the requirements 
of AASB 3.  

Revenue recognition 

Refer to Note 6 in the financial statements 

Whilst  the  Group’s  revenue  recognition  does  not  involve 
significant  management  estimates  or  judgements,  it  is 
considered a Key Audit Matter because of its significance 
to the Group’s reported financial performance.  

The  risk  is  heightened  due  to  having  distinct  revenue 
streams across two segments.  

Revenue  recognition  can  be  impacted  by  a  failure  to 
correctly  measure  revenue  in  accordance  with  applicable 
accounting  standards  and/or  by  applying  an  incorrect 
approach to period end cut-off. 

Our  audit  procedures  in  relation  to  revenue  recognition 
included:  

•  Assessing  whether  the  Group’s  revenue  recognition 
policies  were  in  compliance  with  the  requirements  of 
AASB 15 Revenues from Contracts with Customers;  

•  Evaluating and testing the operating effectiveness of key 

controls related to revenue recognition;  

•  Reviewing any large or unusual transactions close to the 

end of the financial year;  

•  Performing  cut-off  testing  over  transactions  recorded 
either  side  of  the  period  end,  to  ensure  that  revenues 
were recorded in the appropriate period; 

•  Conducting  a  combination  of 

tests  of  controls, 
substantive analytical procedures and tests of details in 
respect of revenue related transactions; and  

•  Reviewing  disclosures  in  relation  to  the  impact  on 
adoption  of  AASB  15  and  the  disaggregation  of 
revenues in the financial statements.

Key Audit Matter 

How our audit addressed this matter 

Impairment assessment of goodwill 

Refer to Note 14 in the financial statements 

As  at  31  July  2021,  the  Group  has  goodwill  with  a 
carrying amount of $29.69 million (approximately 46% of 
the total assets of the Group) relating to its acquisition of 
Hobby Warehouse Group during the current year.  

As required by AASB 136 Impairment of Assets (“AASB 
136”),  management  performed  an  impairment  testing 
over the goodwill balance as at 31 July 2021 by: 

• 

• 

calculating the value-in-use for each identified cash 
generating unit (“CGU”) using a discounted cash flow 
model.  This  model  used  cash  flows  projections  for 
the  CGUs  for  5  years,  with  a  terminal  growth  rate 
applied to the 5th year. These cash flows were then 
discounted  to  their  net  present  value  using  the 
Group’s  weighted  average  cost  of  capital  (WACC); 
and 

comparing the resulting value-in-use of each CGU to 
its carrying amount.  

Management has identified that there are two CGUs for 
testing. 
the  purpose  of  performing 
Management  also  performed  a  sensitivity  analysis  over 
the VIU calculation, by varying the assumptions used to 
assess the impact on the valuations. 

impairment 

We determined impairment testing of goodwill to be a Key 
Audit Matter due to the size of the goodwill balance. Also, 
this  exercise  involves  significant  level  of  management 
judgements and estimates such as the determination of 
the existing CGUs, the estimation of future cash flows of 
the business, including the growth rates and the discount 
rates applied to the estimated cash flows. We note that 
the impact and uncertainties resulted from the COVID-19 
pandemic  has

estimating future cash flows.

Our audit procedures in relation to the impairment testing 
of  goodwill  involved  the  assistance  of  our  Corporate 
Finance team, and included: 

•  Assessing  management’s 

that 
goodwill should be allocated to two CGUs based on 
the  Group’s  business  and  the  manner in  which  the 
results are monitored and reported;  

determination 

•  Assessing  and  challenging  the  reasonableness  of 
key  assumptions  used  in  the  discounted  cash  flow 
model,  including  the  cash  flow  projections,  future 
growth  rates,  discount  rate  applied  and  terminal 
value.  We  also  assessed  whether 
the  key 
assumptions  adopted  were  applied  on  a  consistent 
basis across the model; 

•  Verifying the mathematical accuracy of the cash flow 
model  and  reconciling  input  data  to  supporting 
evidence, such as approved budgets; 

•  Reviewing  management’s  sensitivity  analysis  over 
the key assumptions in the model and assessing the 
reasonableness of the changes in key assumptions 
used  in  the  analysis  to  determine  when  those 
changes  would  cause  an 
to  be

financial report and the auditor's report thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing 
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report, or our knowledge 
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

If,  based  on  the  work  we  have  performed,  we  conclude  that  there  is  a  material  misstatement  of  this  other 
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.  

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair 
view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the  Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal 
control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true 
and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.  

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group 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.

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
