Annual Report 
For year ended 30 June 2020 

CHAIRMAN & CEO’S LETTER 

Dear Shareholders, 

2020 has brought significant challenges to the world as a whole and, like all aspects of society, Change 
Financial has had to adapt. 

Change Financial has proven to be resilient in adjusting to the changes in managing and operating our 
business in the 2020 climate. Change Financial has, for a number of years, had a ‘Work from Home’ Policy in 
place under our Business Continuity Plan and as such the transition by our entire team to remote working 
during lockdowns has proven to be relatively seamless.  

Our thoughts and sympathies go to all those adversely affected by the events of the last year. 

Change Platform 

It has been a significant year for the Company, in completing the build of our payments processor and card 
issuing platform (Platform) and achieving critical milestones in late 2019 with PCI DSS Certification and 
Mastercard® Registration of our Platform. Our sincere thanks to our partners and an amazing Change team of 
dedicated professionals that realized our strategic business plans.  Following this, we immediately 
commenced the commercialisation phase and onboarded the Platform’s first customer in partnership with 
our U.S. banking partner, Central Bank of Kansas City (CBKC). Our focus is now set on securing new clients 
directly and in conjunction with CBKC who have identified a number of customers to onboard to Change’s 
Platform in 2020 and 2021. 

We believe that Change is extremely well placed to now start onboarding its pipeline of identified potential 
customers and also service the significant addressable market available to the Company. Industry tailwinds 
have also picked up and COVID-19 has been the catalyst in the move towards digital payments. Change is the 
critical infrastructure provider that connects existing licensed banks with modern API-driven brands (e.g. 
fintech’s). This infrastructure layer is called Banking as a Service (BaaS). 

Corporate Activity in the Payments and Card Issuing Space 

The past year has seen corporate activity in the payments and card issuing space heating up. Some of the 
more notable transactions include, consumer financial services platform SoFi, who announced in April 2020 
that it was acquiring payments and bank account infrastructure company Galileo for US$1.2 billion. Like 
Change, Galileo provides APIs that allow fintech companies to easily create bank accounts and issue physical 
cards, among myriad other services. 

Further in May 2020, U.S.-based payments and card issuing fintech, Marqeta, raised US$150 million at a 
US$4.3 billion valuation ahead of a planned IPO at double that valuation. Marqeta and Afterpay also 
announced they have partnered to expand Afterpay’s buy now, pay later presence in the U.S. 

As one of the few U.S. payment and card issuing platform completed in recent years, Change is in a strong 
position to continue capitalising on the world’s move to cashless, virtual and online payments that has also 
been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Change Platform was built from the ground up to address 
today’s payment needs without the complexity and legacy of traditional issuer processors and forms a key 
part of the payments infrastructure for products and companies offering cashless payments.

Our Staff and Shareholders 

We would also like to thank our staff, who have worked tirelessly, often remotely, and made many sacrifices 
for the Company to ensure the finalisation of our Platform and that customers continue to receive the level 
of customer service they have become used to from Change. 

We would also like to extend a thanks to our supportive shareholders. The board is extremely positive on the 
future prospects of the business and we look forward to updating you on our continued success in achieving 
operational and financial milestones over the course of the next year.

Indemnity and Insurance of officers 

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

The Group has not otherwise, during or since the financial year, except to the extent permitted by law, 
indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or auditor of the company or of any related body corporate 
against a liability incurred as such an officer or auditor. 

Non-audit services 

The Company may decide to employ the auditor on assignments additional to their statutory audit duties 
where the auditor's expertise and experience with the Company and/or the Group are important. 

Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year are 
outlined at note 28 to the financial statements. Based on advice provided by the Audit and Risk Management 
Committee, the Directors have formed the view that the provision of non-audit services is compatible with 
the general standard of independence for auditors, and that the nature of non-audit services means that 
auditor independence was not compromised.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 
The Company is committed to implementing and maintaining good corporate governance policies. 

Change Financial  Limited’s Corporate  Governance Statement  has  been adopted and structured with 
reference to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) Corporate Governance Council - Corporate 
Governance  Principles  and  Recommendations,  3rd  Edition (CGC Recommendations).  This statement 
reports against the CGC Recommendations. 

The  Company’s  practices  are  largely  consistent  with  the  CGC  recommendations.  Where the 
Company’s corporate governance practices do not correlate with the CGC Recommendations, the 
Company is working towards compliance; however, the Board does not consider that all CGC 
Recommendations are  currently  appropriate  for  the  Company  due to the current size and scale and 
circumstances of  its  operations.  The  Board  has  offered full disclosure and reasons for the adoption of 
alternative Company practices and these are summarised in this Corporate Governance Statement. 

The Board is of the view that with the exception of the departures from the CGC Recommendations 7777d 
below it otherwise complies with the CGC Recommendations. 

The information in this statement is current as at 30 September 2019 and has been approved by the Board. 

Principle 1 – Lay solid foundations for management and oversight 
Functions, powers & responsibilities of the Board 
The Board of Directors is pivotal in the relationship between shareholders and management and the role 
and responsibilities of the Board underpin the Company’s corporate governance framework. Generally, the 
powers and obligations of the Board are governed by the Corporations Act and the general law. 
Without limiting those matters, the Board expressly considers itself responsible for the following: 

•

• 

•

relevant laws; 
providing leadership and developing, implementing and monitoring strategic operational and financial 
objectives for the Company and the overall performance of the Company; 
appointing appropriate staff, consultants and experts to assist in the Company's operations; 
ensuring appropriate financial and risk management controls are implemented; 
setting, monitoring and ensuring appropriate accountability and a framework for remuneration of 
Directors and executive officers; 
establishing and overseeing the Company’s process for making timely and balanced disclosure of all 
material information in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules; 
implementing appropriate strategies to monitor performance of the Board in implementing its functions 
and powers; 
implementing and overseeing the Company’s risk management framework to enable risk to be 
identified, assessed and managed and to set the risk appetite the Board expects Management to 
operate within; 
appointing the Chairperson; 
appointing and removing the Chief Executive Officer and Company Secretary; 
approving the appointment and, where appropriate, removal of members of Management;

• 

approving and monitoring the progress of major capital expenditure, capital management and 
acquisitions and divestitures; 
approving the annual budget; 
liaising with the Company's external auditors; 
approving and monitoring financial and other reporting systems of the Company (including external

• 
• 
•

The Board has delegated to the Executive Chair day to day responsibility for running the affairs of the 
Company and to implement the policies and strategy set by the Board. The Board also delegates to senior 
management the responsibilities for the day-to-day activities leading toward achievement of the Company’s 
strategic direction within agreed boundaries and authority limitations. 
Structure of the Board 

The policy and procedures for the selection and appointment of new Directors is that candidates are 
considered and selected by reference to a number of factors which include, but are not limited to, their 
relevant experience and achievements, and credibility within the Company’s scope of activities. Directors 
are initially appointed by the full Board subject to election by shareholders at the next Annual General 
Meeting. 

The Company has procedures in place to ensure that all material information in its possession relevant to a 
decision to elect or re-elect a Director (including whether Directors support the election or re-election) is 
disclosed in the notice of meeting provided to shareholders. 

At each Annual General Meeting the following Directors automatically retire and are eligible for re- 
appointment: 

• 

• 

• 

any Director who has been elected in the office for a period in excess of three consecutive years or 
until the third annual general meeting following her/his appointment, whichever is longer, without 
submitting him/herself for re-election; 
any Director who was appointed by the Directors during the year to fill a casual vacancy or as an 
addition to the existing Directors; 
one-third of the Directors or, if their number is not a multiple of three, then the greatest of one or the 
number nearest to but not exceeding one-third. 

Director and senior executive agreements 

New Directors receive a letter of their appointment setting out the material terms of their engagement and 
a deed of indemnity, insurance and access. Non-executive Directors are not appointed for fixed terms. All 
senior executives, including Executive Directors, also have written agreements, which set out the material 
terms of engagement, including a description of position and duties, reporting lines, remuneration 
arrangements and termination rights and entitlements. 

Contract details of senior executives, which are key management personnel, are summarized in the 
Remuneration Report in the Annual Report. 

Company Secretary 

The Company Secretary is accountable directly to the Board (through the Chairman) for facilitating the 
Company’s corporate governance processes and the proper functioning of the Board. Each Director is 
entitled to access the advice and services of the Company Secretary. 
In accordance with the Company’s Constitution, the appointment and removal of the Company Secretary is a 
matter for the Board as a whole. A copy of the Constitution is available on the Company website under

Annual Report 
For year ended 30 June 2020 

 Diversity 

The Board has not adopted a formal Diversity Policy at this stage. The recruitment and selection processes 
adopted by the Company ensure that staff and management are selected in a non-discriminatory manner 
based on merit. The Company respects and values the competitive advantage of diversity (which includes 
but is not limited to gender, age, disability, ethnicity, marital or family status religious or cultural 
background), and the benefit of its integration throughout the Company in order to improve corporate 
performance, increase shareholder value and maximise the probability of achievement of the Company’s 
goals. However, the Board of Directors does not believe that the Company is currently of a sufficient size to 
justify the establishment of formal and measurable objectives, having regard to the nature and scale of its 
activities. 

Board reviews 

The Company does not have a formal process for evaluating the performance of the Board, its committees 
and individual directors.  Due to the Company’s limited resources during the reporting period, no formal 
performance evaluation of the Board or its Committees was undertaken during the period. 

In the normal course of events the Board informally reviews the performance of Directors and the Board as 
a whole. 

The Board is provided with the information it needs to discharge its responsibilities effectively. All Directors 
have access to corporate governance policies and material contracts entered into by the Company. The 
Directors also have access to the Company Secretary for all Board and governance-related issues. 

Management reviews 

The Company did not during the reporting period have a formal process for periodically evaluating the 
performance of its senior executives and the Board did not conduct a formal performance evaluation of 
senior executives during the reporting period. The Board regularly informally reviews the performance of 
the Company’s senior executives and assesses the achievement of goals and business development and 
evaluates compliance issues. 

PRINCIPLE 2 – STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE 
Nomination committee 

The Board has not formally established a Nominations Committee as the Directors consider that the Board is 
not of a size nor are its affairs of such complexity as to justify the formation of this Committee.  The Board 
considers that it is able to deal efficiently and effectively with Board composition and succession issues 
without establishing a separate Nomination Committee and in doing so, the Board will be guided by the 
Nomination Charter which is set out in the Company’s Corporate Governance Charter and can be accessed 
on the Company’s website under Corporate Governance. The Company will review this position annually and 
determine whether a Nominations Committee needs to be established. 

Skills and experience 

Details of the current Directors, their skills, experience and qualifications plus a record of attendance at 
meetings is included in the Directors’ Report within the Annual Report.   

The Company has established a Board Skills Matrix.   

At this stage of the Company’s development the Board believes there is an appropriate mix of skills, 
experience and diversity on the Board.  However, the Board will continue to monitor its composition with a 
view to ensuring is has an appropriate mix of skills and diversity to enable it to discharge its responsibilities 
effectively.

Annual Report 
For year ended 30 June 2020 

Independence and length of service 

The Company’s Board is comprised of Teresa Clarke, Harley Dalton, Benjamin Harrison and Ian Leijer.   The 
Chair and the Board other than Ian Leijer are non-executive directors. 

The length of service of each Director as at the date of this financial report is set out below and can be found

Based on the factors listed in the CGC Recommendations as being relevant to assessing independence, the 
Board considers the directors not to be independent.  Mr Leijer is considered not to be independent as he is 
retained in an executive capacity.  Mr Dalton is not considered to be independent as a he is a director of 
Altor Private Equity Pty Ltd and shareholder of Altor Capital Pty Ltd who holds 100% of the shares in Altor 
Private Equity Limited and Altor Advisory Partners Pty Ltd.    Mr Harrison is Chief Investment Officer of Altor 
Capital Pty Ltd and was the nominee of Altor Private Equity Limited to the Board in December 2018. 

Principle 3 – Act ethically and responsibly   
Code of conduct 

The Company has established a Corporate Code of Conduct and Corporate Ethics Policy. The Codes require 
that Directors, management and employees maintain high standards of integrity and ensure that all business 
activities are conducted legally and ethically in compliance with the letter and spirit of both the law and 
Company policies. The Code of Conduct and Ethics Policy is set out in the Company’s Corporate Governance 
Charter and can be accessed on the Company’s website under Corporate Governance. 

PRINCIPLE 4 – SAFEGUARD INTEGRITY IN CORPORATE REPORTING 
Audit Committee 

CGC recommendation 4.1 states that the audit committee should consist of a majority of independent 
Directors and all be non-executive Directors.   

Given the small size of the Board, the Board did not have a separate Audit and Risk Management 
Committee during 2019.  The Board as a whole, discharged the responsibilities normally undertaken by the 
Audit Committee as set out in the Audit and Risk Committee Charter. 

The Company believes that given the size and scale of its operations, non-compliance by the Company will 
not be detrimental to the Company. 

The Company has adopted an Audit and Risk Management Committee Charter setting out the Committee’s 
responsibilities once a Committee is re-established as well as reporting requirements. A copy of the Charter 
is included in the Corporate Governance Charter and can be accessed on the Company’s website under 
Corporate Governance. 

The responsibilities of the Audit and Risk Management Committee, once re-established, with respect to 
audit are to:  
• 

review and make recommendations to the Board in relation to whether the Company’s financial 
statements reflect the understanding of the members of the Committee, and otherwise provide a true 
and fair view of the financial position and performance of the Company;

• 

review and make recommendations to the Board in relation to the appropriateness of the accounting 
judgments or choices exercised by Management in preparing the Company’s financial statements; 
ensure that the quality of financial controls is appropriate for the business of the Company; 
review the scope, results and adequacy of external and internal audits; 
require the external auditors to report to the Committee; 

• 
• 
• 
•  monitor corporate conduct and business ethics and ongoing compliance with laws and regulations; 
•  maintain open lines of communication between the Board, Management and the external auditors, thus 

• 
• 

• 
• 

enabling information and points of view to be freely exchanged; 
review matters of significance affecting the financial welfare of the Company; 
ensure that systems of accounting and reporting of financial information to shareholders, regulators 
and the general public are adequate and making recommendations in this regard; 
review the Company's internal financial control system; 
consider and make recommendations regarding the appointment and removal of the external auditor 
and approving the remuneration and terms of engagement of the external auditor; 

•  monitor and review the external auditor's independence, objectivity and effectiveness, taking into 

• 

consideration relevant professional and regulatory requirements and the performance of the external 
auditor; and 
develop and implement policy on the engagement of the external auditor to supply non-audit services, 
taking into account relevant ethical guidance regarding the provisions of non-audit services by the 
external audit firm and make recommendations on any proposal by the external auditor to provide 
non-audit services. 

External auditor 

Pitcher Partners was appointed as the Company’s external auditor by shareholders at a General Meeting 
held on 30 November 2015. Pitcher Partners has advised the Company that their policy of audit partner 
rotation requires a change in the lead engagement partner and review partner after a period of five years. 

Representatives of Pitcher Partners attend the Annual General Meeting and are available to answer 
shareholder questions regarding the audit or the individual statements. 

Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer certification of financial statements. 

Prior to the approval of the Group’s financial statements each year, the Chief Executive Officer and the 
Finance Director (acting in the function of Chief Financial Officer) confirm in writing to the Board that the 
financial reports of the Company for the financial year: 

• 

• 

• 

present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the Company’s financial condition and 
operational results and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards; 

the statement given in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act is founded on a sound 
system of risk management and internal compliance and control which implements the policies 
adopted by the Board; and 

the Company’s risk management and internal compliance and control system is operating efficiently 
and effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks. 

Principle 5 – Make timely and balanced disclosure 
Disclosure and Communications Policy 

The Company has adopted a Continuous Disclosure Policy within its Corporate Governance Charter to 
ensure compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the ASX Listing Rules and the 
Corporations Act 2001. The policy sets out the rules and procedures for ASX information disclosure, the 
responsibility of the Board, Senior Executives and staff to ensure that price sensitive information is 
identified, reviewed by management and disclosed to the ASX in a timely, clear and objective manner and 

Page 25 of 67

that all information provided to the ASX is posted on the Company’s website as soon as possible after its 
disclosure to ASX.  

The Company Secretary is responsible for communications with, and coordinating disclosure of information 
to, the ASX. 

Directors will receive copies of all announcements released to the ASX and copies of announcements, 
including related information, such as financial statements and public presentations, and are aware of and 
accountable for the Company’s compliance with regard to continuous disclosure. 

Respect the rights of security holders 
Shareholder Communication 

The Company is committed to informing shareholders of all major developments affecting the 
operations of the Company and the state of its affairs. Communications with shareholders include: 
• 

The annual report which is distributed, or otherwise made available, to all shareholders; 

• 

•

The quarterly activities report; 

The half-year financial report; 

The Annual General Meeting and other general meetings called to obtain shareholder approval

The Company welcomes questions from shareholders at any time and these are answered unless the 
information requested is market sensitive and not in the public domain. All announcements to be made by 
the Company to the ASX (except disclosures of a routine compliance or administrative nature) will be posted 
to the Company’s website.

Company’s corporate governance policies is located at:  www.changefinancial.com  

Facilitate participation at meetings of security holders. 

The Company encourages shareholder participation at its AGMs including by making notices of meetings 
available on its website. The Company’s external auditor attends the Company’s AGMs and is available to 
answer any questions which shareholders may have about the conduct of the external audit for the relevant 
financial year and the preparation and content of the audit report. 

Shareholders who are unable to attend meetings of the Company are encouraged to participate in meetings 
by way of appointment of a proxy. 

Principle 7 – Recognise and manage risk 
Risk committee 

The Board as a whole has undertaken the responsibilities of the Audit and Risk Management Committee 
which are set out in the Audit and Risk Management Committee Charter. A copy of the Charter is included in 
the Corporate Governance Charter and can be accessed on the Company’s website under Corporate 
Governance. 

The responsibilities of the Board with respect to risk management are to: 
• 

review the adequacy of the Company’s processes for managing risks, including: 

(a) 

in relation to any incident involving fraud or other break down of the Company’s internal controls; 

Page 26 of 67 

For personal use only 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Change Financial Limited 
Annual Report 
For year ended 30 June 2020 

(b) 

in relation to the Company’s insurance program, having regard to the Company’s business and the 
insurable risks associated with the business; 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

ensure the development of an appropriate risk management policy framework that will provide 
guidance to Management in implementing appropriate risk management practices throughout the 
Company's operations, practices and systems and to oversee this framework; 

define and periodically review risk management as it applies to the Company and clearly identifying all 
stakeholders; 

ensure the Board clearly communicates the Company's risk management philosophy, policies and 
strategies to Directors, Management, employees, contractors and appropriate stakeholders; 

ensure that the Board and Management establish a risk aware culture which reflects the Company's risk 
policies and philosophies; 

review methods of identifying broad areas of risk and setting parameters or guidelines for business risk 
reviews; 

•  make informed decisions regarding business risk management, internal control systems, business 

policies and practices and disclosures; and 

• 

consider capital raising, treasury and market trading activities with particular emphasis on risk 
treatment strategies, products and levels of authorities. 

The responsibility for undertaking and assessing risk management and internal control effectiveness is 
delegated to management under the guidance of the Committee. 

Internal audit 

The Company does not have an internal audit function due to its current size.  The Board gains sufficient 
assurance from management undertaking ongoing evaluation of the Company’s internal control and risk 
management processes. 

Sustainability risks 

As a digital banking company, Change Financial faces inherent risks in its activities, primarily financial, 
operating and system risks but also including economic, environmental and social sustainability risks.  The 
Board does not consider that it has material exposure to economic, environmental and social sustainability 
risks other than its exposure to general economic conditions in the markets in which it operates. 

The Board regularly monitors the operational and financial performance of the Company’s activities. It 
monitors and receives advice on areas of operation and financial risk and considers strategies for 
appropriate risk management.  

Review of risk management framework 

The Board did not conduct a formal review of the Company’s risk management processes in the 2019 
financial year.  During the 2019 financial year the identification and evaluation of risks and the development 
and implementation of risk mitigation plans was undertaken by management with oversight from the Board. 

Principle 8 – Remunerate fairly and responsibly 
Remuneration committee. 

The Board has not formally established a Remuneration Committee due to the small size of the Board.   

The Board of Directors is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the 
Directors and the Executive team. The Board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of 
remuneration of such officers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions 
with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality 
Board and Executive team.

senior Executives including fee rates are set out in the Remuneration Report in the Annual Report.

short-term trading in the Company’s securities. The Policy also stipulates that Directors and senior 
executives and closely related parties not enter into transactions which limit the economic risk relating to 
unvested options held by Directors and Senior Executives. The Share Trading Policy is included in the 
Corporate Governance Charter and can be accessed on the Company’s website under Corporate

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
1. 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

These financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in 
accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and comply 
with the other requirements of the law. Accounting Standards include Australian Accounting Standards. 

The principal accounting policies adopted in preparing the financial report of the Company and its 
consolidated entities (Consolidated Entity or Group) for the year ended 30 June 2020 are stated to 
assist in a general understanding of the financial report.  For the purposes of preparing the financial 
report the Company is a for profit entity. 

Change Financial Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose share are 
publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. 

(a)  Compliance with IFRS 

The Consolidated Financial Report of Change Financial Limited complies with International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

(b)  Basis of Preparation 

The Consolidated Financial Report of Change Financial Limited has been prepared under the historical 
cost convention.  Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All 
amounts are presented in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted. 

(c)  Application of new and revised Accounting Standards 

The Group has adopted all new and amended Australian Accounting Standards and Australian 
Accounting Standards Review Board (AASB) interpretations that are mandatory for the current 
reporting period and relevant to the Group.  Other than AASB 16 (refer note (d)) adoption of these 
standards and interpretations had not resulted in any material changes to the Group’s half year 
financial report. 

(d)  Adjustment recognised on adoption of AASB 16 

AASB 16 Leases supersedes AASB 117 Leases. AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model and 
eliminates the classification between operating and finance leases. All leases are required to be 
accounted for “on balance sheet” by lessees, other than for short-term and low value asset leases. The 
standard also provides new guidance on the definition of a lease and on sale and leaseback accounting 
and requires new and different disclosures about leases.  

The Group has adopted AASB 16 on 1 July 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. Under this 
approach, comparative information is not restated and the cumulative effect of initially applying AASB 
16 is recognised in retained earnings/(accumulated losses). 

The Group’s leasehold properties comprise one office leases which has previously been classified as an 
operating lease.  In addition, the Group has entered into a back-to-back property sublease for that 
office lease.  Under this arrangement the cash flows substantially offset each other.

Change Financial Limited 
Annual Report 
For year ended 30 June 2020 

From 1 July 2019 the Group recognises a right-of-use asset (ROU) and a lease liability at the 
commencement date which is initially measured on a present value basis.  For back-to-back leases, 
however, as the term of the sublease is for the whole of the remaining term of the head lease, the ROU 
is derecognised and a lease receivable is recognised for the lease payments receivable.

The net impact of the implementation of US$26,530 has been recognised directly in retained 
earnings/(accumulated losses). 

During the year ended 30 June, finance costs arising from lease payments amounted to US$20,232 and 
interest revenue arising from lease receipts amounted to US$19,444.

Practical expedients applied 
In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the Group has applied the following practical expedients as 
permitted by the standard: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for low value 
leases or leases with less than 12 months of lease term; 
Applied the use of a single discount rate to the portfolio of leases with similar characteristics. 
The rate applied was the Group’s weighted average borrowing rate of 5%; 
Applied the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options 
to extend the lease; and 
Relied on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous. 

(e)  Accounting Standards issued but not effective 

The Directors have reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not 
yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2020. As a result of this review the Directors have determined  
there will be no material impacts of any new or revised Standards and Interpretations on the group, 
and therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

Change Financial Limited 
Annual Report 
For year ended 30 June 2020 

(f)  Principles of Consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements are those of the consolidated entity, comprising the financial 
statements of the parent entity and all of the entities the parent controls. The Group controls an entity 
where it has the power, for which the parent has exposure or rights to variable returns from its 
involvement with the entity, and for which the parent has the ability to use its power over the entities 
to affect the amount of its returns. 

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent 
entity, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar 
accounting policies which may exist. 

All inter-company balances and transactions, including any unrealised profits or losses have been 
eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred 
to the Group and are de-recognised from the date that control ceases. 

Non-controlling interests in the result of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated 
statement of comprehensive income and consolidated statement of financial position respectively. 

(g)  Foreign Currency Translations and Balances 

Presentation currency 
The financial statements of each entity within the consolidated entity are measured using the currency 
of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates (the functional currency). The 
consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars which is the consolidated entity’s 
functional and presentation currency. 

Transactions and balances 
Transactions in foreign currencies of entities within the consolidated group are translated into 
functional currency at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. 

Foreign currency monetary items that are outstanding at the reporting date (other than monetary 
items arising under foreign currency contracts where the exchange rate for that monetary item is fixed 
in the contract) are translated using the spot rate at the end of the financial year. 

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not 
retranslated 
Except for certain foreign currency hedges, all resulting exchange differences arising on settlement or 
re- statement are recognised as revenues and expenses for the financial year. 

• 
• 
• 

• 

Current assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate on reporting date; 
Non-current assets are translated at historical cost 
Income and expenses are translated at actual exchange rates or average exchange rates for the 
period where appropriate; and 
All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. 

(h) 

Revenue 

Revenue from contracts with customers 
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 or services to a customer. For each contract 
with a customer, the consolidated entity: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the 
performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account

Annual Report

estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the 
separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct 
good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is 
satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised. 

Revenue from services includes fees charged whenever a ChimpChange customer makes a purchase 
using ChimpChange mobile banking platform.  The fees are usually a percentage of the transaction 
value and are recognised when the transaction has been completed. 

Revenue from administration services is recognised in the period it is earned. 

Distribution Income 
Distribution income is recognised when the right to receive payment has been established. 

Interest income 
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis using the effective interest method taking into 
account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.  

Grant income 
Grant income is recognised when the right to receive a grant is probable.  Where grant income is 
directly related to expenditure of the Company the grant income is recognised in the period in which 
the applicable expenditure is spent.  To the extent the grant income is received in advance of applicable 
expenditure being spent then grant income is recognised as deferred income. 

(i) 

Income tax 

Current income tax expense or revenue is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based 
on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the applicable tax rates 
when the assets are expected to be recovered or liabilities are settled. Deferred tax liabilities are not 
recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. 

Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in 
a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither 
accounting nor taxable profit or loss. 

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. 

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

(j) 

Financial Instruments 

Non-derivative financial instruments 
Non-derivative financial instruments consist of investments in equity and debt securities, trade and 
other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables. 

Non-derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value, plus directly attributable 
transaction costs (if any), except for instruments recorded at fair value through profit or loss. After

Change Financial Limited 
Annual Report 
For year ended 30 June 2020 

initial recognition, non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below. 

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 allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables 
are generally due for settlement within 30 days. 

The consolidated entity has applied the simplified approach to measuring 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. 

Financial liabilities 
Financial liabilities include trade payables, other creditors and loans from third parties including inter- 
company balances and loans from or other amounts due to director-related entities. 

Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less 
principal payments and amortisation. 

Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to 
defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. 

(k)  Property, plant & equipment 

Plant and equipment 
Plant and equipment carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and, where applicable, any 
accumulated impairment losses. 

Depreciation 
The depreciable amount of all property, plant and equipment is depreciated over their estimated useful 
lives commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Land and the land component of any 
class of property, plant and equipment is not depreciated. 

Class of fixed asset

Software development costs are capitalised when it is probable that the project will be a success 
considering its commercial and technical feasibility; the entity is able to use or sell the asset; the 
software will generate probable future economic benefits; the entity has sufficient resource and intent 
to complete the development and its costs can be measured reliably.  

Capitalised software development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation. 
Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost over three years. The asset 
carrying value is reviewed for impairment annually and amounts are written off to the extent that 
realisable future benefits are considered to be no longer probable.

Annual Report 
For year ended 30 June 2020 

(m)  Impairment of non-financial assets 

Intangible assets are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in 
circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. 

An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable 
amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is defined as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell 
and value in use. 

(n)  Employee benefits 

Short term employee benefit obligations 
Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and any other employee benefits 
expected to be settled wholly within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at their 
nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is 
settled. The expected cost of short- term employee benefits in the form of compensated absences such 
as annual leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee 
benefit obligations are presented as payables. 

Long term employee benefit obligations 
Liabilities arising in respect of long service leave and annual leave which is not expected to be settled 
wholly within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at the present value of the estimated 
future cash outflow to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. 

Employee benefit obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does 
not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, 
regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.  

(o)  Goods and services tax (GST) 

Revenues, expenses and purchased assets in Australia are recognised net of the amount of GST, except 
where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances the 
GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. 
Receivables and payables in the consolidated statement of financial position are shown inclusive of 
GST. 

Cash flows are presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the 
GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. 

(p)  Rounding 

The company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) 
Instrument 2016/191, related to the 'rounding off' of amounts in the financial statements. Amounts in 
the financial statements have been rounded off in accordance with that Legislative Instrument to the 
nearest dollar, unless otherwise indicated. 

(q)  Intangible digital assets 

The company has elected to measure its digital assets at cost less amortization and impairment in 
accordance with AASB138 Intangible Assets as market volume to date does not demonstrate an active 
market.

Annual Report 
For year ended 30 June 2020 

(r)  Ongoing operations 

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates 
continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in 
the ordinary course of business. 

At the date of this report the group remains in a development and growth phase of operations. The 
Directors are of the view that the group's payments and card issuing platform (Platform) is 
commercially viable and are confident that the business will become sustainable in future years 
through forecast revenue growth. Currently the group is in a strong cash position with no external 
borrowings and limited contractual commitments over the next 12 months. If required, the group has 
the ability to scale back future expenditure to ensure the group will continue as a going concern.  

Until such time as the group's revenues grow to a level that is sufficient to enable the group to meet its 
financial commitments as and when they fall due the group will be dependent on raising further capital 
in future years.  

(s)  Cash and cash equivalents 

For cash-flow presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held 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 which are subject to an 
insignificant risk of changes in value. 

(t)  Leases          

Group as lessee 
Until the end of the 2019 financial year, leases of property were classified as ‘operating leases’. 
Expenses incurred under operating leases were previously charged to the profit and loss on a straight-
line basis.  

From 1 July 2019, leases are now recognised ‘on balance sheet’ as a right-of-use asset with a 
corresponding lease liability. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The 
right-of-use asset is depreciated over the lease term on a straight-line basis or over the useful life 
where title to the asset transfers at the end of the lease. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are 
initially measured on a present value basis.  

Depreciation on right-of-use assets and interest on lease liabilities is recognised in the Consolidated 
Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. 

Payments associated with short term leases (generally less than 12-month terms) and leases of low 
value have continued to be recognised on a straight-line basis as an Other Expense in the Consolidated 
Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. 

The principal portion of the lease payments are recognised as a financing cash flow and the interest 
portion of the lease payments are recognised as an operating cash flow in the Consolidated Statement 
of Cash Flows. 

The Group uses critical judgements in determining the lease term. Extension options are only included 
in the lease term where management considers that it is probable that the option will be exercised. 

Group as lessor 
The Group has entered into back-to-back lease arrangements.  Where the terms of the lease transfer 
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the sublessee and/or the term of the sub-lease is 

Page 41 of 67

Change Financial Limited 
Annual Report 
For year ended 30 June 2020 

for the whole of the remaining term of the head lease, these arrangements are classified as finance 
leases. 

Amounts due from finance leases are recognised as a lease receivable at the amount of the Group’s net 
investment in the leases, the right-of-use asset relating to the underlying lease is derecognised.  
Finance lease income is allocated to the accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of 
return on the Group’s net investment outstanding in respect of the lease. 

2. 

Critical Accounting Judgements 

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other 
factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that 
are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates 
will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a 
significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within 
the next financial year are discussed below. 

Estimated impairment of intangible assets and other non-current assets 
Determining whether non-current assets are impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of 
those assets. The value in use calculation requires the directors to estimate the future cash flows 
expected to arise from the Group and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value.  
Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. 

Share- based payments transactions 
The Group measures the cost of equity settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity 
instruments at the date at which they are granted.  The fair value is determined by using either the 
Black-Scholes or Binomial model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the 
instruments were granted (refer note 32).  The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to 
equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and 
liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss or equity. 

Digital Assets 
At the date of preparation of these financial statements, no Accounting Standard has been developed 
that specifically addresses the issue of accounting for digital assets. In the opinion of the directors, the 
accounting approach that most aligns with the existing suite of Accounting Standards is to recognise 
digital asset holdings as intangible assets. The Company has elected to measure its digital assets at cost 
in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB138 Intangible Assets. 

Leases 

Right-of-use assets 
 A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost 
and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired term of the lease. Right-of-use assets are subject to 
impairment and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease. 

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. The 
carrying amount of the lease is remeasured if there is a change in future lease payments (arising from a 
change in index or a rate used), the residual guarantee or the lease term. The remeasurement is an 
adjustment to the corresponding right-of-use asset, lease receivable (in the case of sub-leases) or to 
profit and loss.

Change Financial Limited 
Annual Report 
For year ended 30 June 2020 

Trade and other receivables 
The Group makes judgements as to its ability to collect receivables and provides for a portion of 
receivables when collection becomes doubtful. Evidence of impairment may include indications that 
the debtor is experiencing financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments,
the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and observable data 
indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in 
arrears of economic conditions that correlate with defaults. Collectability of trade and other receivables 
is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Trade and other receivables, which are known to be uncollectable, are 
written off. An allowance for expected credit losses is established. In measuring expected credit losses
a provision matrix for trade receivables is used. The provision matrix is based on historical credit losses, 
adjusted for any material expected changes to future credit risk, refer to note 8 for details of the trade 
and other receivables.     

Deferred tax assets 
No members of the Group have generated taxable income in the financial year and as such the group 
continues to carry forward tax losses that give rise to deferred tax assets. Given that the Group’s 
projects remain in early stages, it is unlikely that the Group will generate taxable income in the near 
future. Taking this into account, the deferred tax assets have not been recognised in the financial 
statements as the management does not believe that the members of the Group satisfy the criteria set 
out in AASB112. 

3.  Operating Segments 

The Group is organised into a single operating segment being the provision of digital banking services 
and a single geographic segment, being the United States of America. 

4.  Revenue and other income

The loan from Altor Capital (an entity related to the director Harley Dalton) as at 30 June 2019 was a under a term 
loan facility of A$2,000,000 (Loan). This loan facility was replaced by an issue of convertible notes (Notes) that was 
approved by shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on 12 February 2019. The notes were issued 
on 29 August 2019. 

The Convertible Notes issued under Tranche 1 of the Altor Funding (Altor Notes) were issued at a face value of 
$0.10 with a maturity of 36 months from the date of first issue. The loan and subsequent issued Notes were 
secured by a first ranking security over the Group’s assets. The Notes had a conversion price of the lesser of A$0.10 
or 75% of the 10-day VWAP of the Company’s shares prior to conversion. A coupon of 10% per annum was to be 
paid quarterly in arrears. The Company can elect to pay the interest by way of cash or additional Notes. On 
maturity the Notes convert to shares. 

Convertible Notes were also issued in November 2019 (November Notes) were at a face value of A$0.10 with a 
maturity of 36 months from the date of first issue. The Notes were unsecured. The November Notes had a 
conversion price of the lesser of A$0.10 or 75% of the 10-day VWAP of the Company’s share price prior to 
conversion. A coupon of 12% was to be paid quarterly in arrears. The Company can elect to pay the interest by way 
of cash or additional Notes. On maturity the Notes convert to shares. 

At election of the holder, the Notes could be converted before maturity, subject to certain restrictions. The Notes 
may also be redeemed prior to maturity at the request of the Company, subject to the agreement of the holder. 
The redemption price includes 130% of the interest payable for the remainder of the term. 

In May 2020 all convertible notes and capitalised interest were converted to ordinary shares at a conversion price 
of A$0.05.  Refer note 18 for further details.

During the financial year the Change Financial LLC received US$230,000 under the Paycheck Protection 
Program (PPP).  Under the terms of the program the money is initially advanced as a loan and then the 
Company is to apply to have the loan waived subject to meeting certain spending criteria.  It is 
reasonably likely that Change Financial LLC will meet the criteria to have the loan waived and therefore 
the funds advanced have been treated as a government grant in accordance with AASB120 Accounting 
for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance.  As at 30 June 2020 the Company had 
spent US$118,835 of the funds advanced under the PPP on qualifying expenditure and therefore this 
portion of the loan has been recognises as granted income. The balance of the amount received under 
the PPP (US$111,165) has been recognised as deferred income.

Change Financial Limited 
Annual Report 
For year ended 30 June 2020 

Options and other potential equity securities on issue at the end of the period have not been included in the 
determination of diluted earnings per share as the Group has incurred a loss for the period and they are therefore 
not dilutive in nature. 

22.  Dividend 

There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous period. 

23.  Financial risk management 

The Group's activities may expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, 
interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management 
program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse 
effects on the financial performance of the Group. 

Risk management is carried out by senior management in consultation with the Board of Directors.  The 
Board provides principles for overall risk management, as well as direction in specific areas. 

Market Risk 

Foreign currency risk 
Foreign currency risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and 
financial liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is 
measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.  The Group does not use foreign currency 
hedges. 

At balance date, the Group had the following exposures to 
Australian dollars (A$). As at 30 June

(210,331) 

(1,359,345) 

1,682,394 

(1,237,027) 

Interest rate risk 
The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from cash. Cash at variable rates expose the Group to cash 
flow interest rate risk.  No hedging instruments are used.  As at the reporting date, the Group had cash 
and cash equivalents of $2,966,200 (2019: $1,464,976) subject to variable interest rates of 0.05% (2019: 
0.2%).  At 30 June 2020, if interest rates had changed by +/- 1% from the year-end rates with all other 
variables held constant the impact would be immaterial. 

Price risk 
The Group is not exposed to any significant price risk.

Change Financial Limited 
Annual Report 
For year ended 30 June 2020 

Credit Risk 

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a 
financial loss to the Group. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, as well as outstanding 
trade and other receivables.  The Group deemed its credit risk from cash and cash equivalents to be 
minimal as its financial assets are mainly cash held at BankWest which is a subsidiary of Commonwealth 
Bank of Australia and US Bank. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount net any 
provisions for impairment. No financial assets are past due, and none are impaired except as noted in 
Note 8. 

Liquidity Risk 

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash balances and by continuously 
monitoring forecasts and actual cash flows matching maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. 

Financing arrangements 
The Group does not have access to any undrawn borrowing facilities at the end of the reporting period. 

Maturities of financial liabilities 
At period end the Group had accounts payable of $631,393 (2019: $276,381) which have a maturity of 
less than 6 months.  The Group had no current borrowings (2019: $1,050,447). The total lease 
payments to be made in the next 12 months are US$165,481 (2019: $162,830) and the period later 
than 12 months and less than 5 years $183,444 (2019:259,434). The Group has no other financial 
liabilities.

(b)  Fair value of options granted 

The assessed fair value of options granted during the year was an average of $0.219 per option.  The fair value at 
grant date is independently determined using using the Black & Scholes method of option pricing taking into account 
the exercise price, the term of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying 
shares, the expected dividend yield, the risk free rate for the term of the options. 

The model inputs for options granted during the year ended 30 June 2020 included; 
(a)  options are granted for no consideration; 
(b)  exercise price of options granted as set out in the table above; 
(c)  expiry dates as set out in the table above;

(g)  risk-free interest rate of 0.6219%. 

The expected volatility is based on the historic volatility adjusted for any expected changes to the future volatility

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Change Financial Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the 
Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated 
statement of profit or loss, consolidated statement of 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:

(a)

(b)

giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial
performance for the year then ended; and

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 (including Independence Standards) “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. 

Page 62

For personal use onlyKey audit matter

How our audit addressed the matter

Going Concern
Refer to Note 1(r) in the Annual Report
At the date of this report the Group remains in 
the development and growth phase of 
operations that have resulted in operating 
losses and operating cash outflows for a 
number of years.

The Directors have adopted the going concern 
basis of preparation in preparing the Financial 
Statements, having prepared detailed cash 
flow forecasts for a period of at least 12 
months from the date these Financial 
Statements were approved.

The Director’s assessment of the Group’s 
ability to continue as a going concern was 
assessed as a key audit matter as it requires 
significant judgement in determining key 
assumptions supporting the expected future 
cash flows, including but not limited to:







forecast revenue growth;
forecast development expenditure on the
Group’s payments and card issuing
platform;
forecast operating expenses; and
forecast future capital raising;

Implementation of AASB 16: Leases
Refer to Note 1(d) and 12 in the Annual Report

The 30 June 2020 financial year was the first 
year of adoption of Australian Accounting 
Standard AASB 16: Leases.  The Group has 
leases over premises, one of which involves a
sub-lease to a third party, on mirrored terms.

The Group elected to apply the modified 
retrospective approach.  Effective on the date 
of transition, US$498,601 Lease Receivables 
and US$472,071 Lease Liabilities were 
recognised, with an opening accumulated loss 
impact of US$26,530.

Given the financial significance to the Group of 
its leasing arrangements, the complexity and 
judgements involved in the application of 
AASB 16, such as the determination of the 
Incremental Borrowing Rate (IBR) and the
transition requirements of the standard, this 
was assessed as a key audit matter.

Our procedures included, amongst others:

 Understanding and evaluating relevant controls over the
Group’s assessment of going concern and compilation
of cash flow forecasts;

 Checking to satisfy ourselves that the cash flow forecast
is approved by the Board and that it has been subject to
the appropriate review and approval processes and
controls;

 Discussing with those charged with governance their

funding, business and cash flow strategy for the period
at least 12 months from date of signing the financial
report;

 Obtaining supporting documentation in relation to future
capital raising options that the Directors are considering;

 Understanding the Directors’ assumptions for forecast

cash outflows during the period under review;

 Assessing the sensitivity of the cash flow forecast where
commercial revenues and capital raising activities are
delayed or do not occur within expected timeframes;
 Understanding and evaluating the ability of the Group to
scale back future expenditure over the next 12 months,
if required; and

 Assessing the appropriateness of the disclosure

included in the financial report.

Our procedures included, amongst others:















Understanding and evaluating relevant controls related
to the identification, recognition and measurement of
lease liabilities and right of use assets;
Checking the integrity of the management’s AASB 16
lease calculation model, including the accuracy of
formulas;
Agreeing inputs used in the AASB 16 lease calculation
model such as the lease term, fixed and variable rent
payments, renewal options and lease incentives back to
underlying executed lease agreements;
Assessing the reasonableness of management’s
judgements in relation to the accounting treatment of
lease renewal options under AASB 16;
Assessing the reasonableness of the Incremental
Borrowing Rate used to discount future lease payments
to present value;
Reviewing whether the Group’s new accounting policy
satisfied the requirements of AASB 16 including the
adoption of practical expedients applied by
management for the transitional accounting; and
Reviewing the adequacy of the disclosures in the
financial report to ensure compliance with Australian
Accounting Standards.

CEO’s Letter, Corporate Directory, Directors’ Report, Corporate Governance Statement and ASX Additional 
Information which was obtained as at the date of our audit report, and any additional other information that will be 
included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the financial report 
and our auditor’s report thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and 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. 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. 
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance 
with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements 
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could 
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. 

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement 
and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 



Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

 Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that







are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to
the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.
However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures,
and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.

business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for
the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our
audit opinion.

We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit 
and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our 
audit. 

We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements 
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably 
be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards 
applied.

From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in 
the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these 
matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in 
extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the 
adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such 
communication.
