Strategic progress

The 2023 financial year (FY23) started with the acquisition of 
Registry Direct, continuing to build our unique, integrated 
ecosystem, becoming the “backbone” of Australian equity 
markets.

Overall, the Complii group has been continuing to invest 
behind building a differentiated, end-to-end ecosystem and 
the required go-to-market capabilities, positioning itself for 
more cross-selling opportunities. The focus going forward will 
be to further decrease the cost of acquisition whilst increasing 
customer ARR and lifetime value, to accelerate organic growth 
profitably.

Over the past few years, we have been building a very strong 
business, financially-sound, with improving unit economics 
and -most importantly- a unique and differentiated offer. 

As a result, we have a very strong base of loyal customers, 
many of which are also shareholders in the company, 
acknowledging the value of our suite of products and services. 
We have also built a fantastic team and operational capabilities 
to ensure we are executing better every year. We think we are 
in a great position and can deliver on our strategy and financial 
objectives in FY24 and beyond.

We want to thank our shareholders, customers and partners 
for their support.

Complii FinTech SolutionsOperating and financial review

The Company retained cash reserves (cash at bank 
including term deposits) of $5.796m at the end of FY23.
The group remains debt free with significant cash at bank. 

The group experienced net cash outflows from operating 
activities of $1,710,216 (2022: cash inflow $995,853). 

Group revenue has fallen by 8.2% to $7,934,160 in the year 
ended 30 June 2023, down from $8,642,969 in the prior 
year, driven mainly by the decrease in PrimaryMarkets’ 
transactional revenue due to the poor general global 
financial market conditions. 

As a SaaS business, Annual recurring revenue (ARR) is a 
key metric for us. ARR has grown by 62.4% to $3,819,295 
in the year ended 30 June 2023, up from $2,351,451 in the 
prior year. 

Increases in ARR across the main subsidiaries is set out 
below:

 › Complii up 10.5% on FY22

 › PrimaryMarkets up 51.9% on FY22

 › Registry Direct up 43.7% on FY22  
(Note FY22 is pre acquisition)

 › ThinkCaddie up 39.3% on FY22

 › Advisor Solutions Group up 36.2% on FY22

Growth

Sales & Marketing 

Overall, the Group continued to grow the customer base 
across the financial services sector and winning mandates 
from new, high-profile customers such as Wilsons Advisory. 
The established product and service offerings continued 
to perform, showing solid increase in recurring revenue 
through the combination of new sales and additional 
module subscriptions to existing and new clients. The 
Group is expected to continue this growth trajectory with 
new modules and enhanced workflow capabilities in 
development and to be released to clients in FY24.

Partnerships

As announced on 31 January 2023 Complii is expanding 
its relationship with Australian Investment Exchange 
(AUSIEX) by implementing a new Customer Relationship 
Management (CRM) System. This project is in progress.  

Research & Development (R&D)

Throughout FY23, the Group continued its ongoing R&D 
investment in new products and services. Several new 
modules have been developed, and comprehensive 
enhancements and product updates have been delivered 
during the year, increasing further the customer and user 
experience. 

There have also been significant updates on the 
PrimaryMarkets platform since acquisition. 

Our commercial capabilities have been revamped, with the 
hiring of a new Group Head of Marketing (February 2023) and 
the building of account-based marketing strategy supported 
by new martech stack and the appointment of expert partner 
agencies.

Across the Group, the sales and marketing team is focused on 
increasing our brand awareness and lead-generation cost-
effectively, as well as cross-selling all Group products and 
services.

FY24 will continue re-engaging with existing clients, potential 
clients, new segments, shareholders and investors. The cross-
sell continues to produce ARR growth across our product 
suit, endorsing our acquisition and growth strategy to date. 
Through our ecosystem of solutions, we are steadily growing 
our total addressable market (TAM) as well as increasing 
the potential share of wallet through cross-selling of our 
solutions, as most companies want to work with end-to-end 
vendors instead of a roster, as it is both simpler and more cost-
effective. This makes our offer both differentiated and sticky. 
We continue to build on the group’s ambition to become the 
backbone for equity capital markets, with a unique offering 
covering cost-effective capital raising, absolute compliance 
assurance, operating risk mitigation and customer servicing 
efficiency. Integrating our other business units’ solutions, 
the Complii group offers the only end-to-end platform for 
managing corporate activity from inception of a Company, pre-
IPO trading/liquidity, new capital raising efficiencies through 
to registry services, as well as providing compliance and 
efficiency tools along each step of the journey, whether it be 
from the company or a broker. Complii is continuing to focus 
its Group marketing and resources to realise this opportunity.

Registry Direct acquisition

Complii

The Complii group concluded the acquisition 
of the Registry Direct business in August 2022, 

completing a substantial step towards assembling 
Australia’s first end-to-end platform covering capital raise to 
risk and compliance. 

Registry Direct is an online share and unique registry with a 
growing base of clients to companies and funds.

Registry Direct complements perfectly our PrimaryMarkets’ 
and Complii’s Corporate Highway capital raising offering.

The business continued to develop its platform based on 
client feedback to improve functionality and sales appeal.

Complii Group in-housed its share registry services using 
Registry Direct from the 6th February 2023.

In FY23, $10.4bn new capital funds were raised  
on the Complii platform across 3082 unique 
offerings, using our Adviser Bid and Corporate Highway  
capital raising offering.

Complii group signed several new AFSL clients over the year 
and started generating incremental revenue from new clients.

Complii is continuing custom work with our larger customers 
on future major enhancements and developments, which will 
then be standardised and offered to our broader customer 
base.

PrimaryMarkets

PrimaryMarkets had a challenging year due to 
economic conditions and lower appetite for 

investing. This is consistent with the current very difficult IPO 
market. We expect this to change as the market situation 
returns to a more favourable state and have seen increasing 
enquiries from private companies seeking liquidity and capital 
raising solutions.

Over FY23, PrimaryMarkets has grown from 50 investment 
opportunities at the end of Q4 FY22 to over 100 at the end of 
Q4 FY23, comprising a mixture of secondary trading, trading 
hubs, unicorns, capital raises and investor centres.

Capital raising continues to be an important part of the 
PrimaryMarkets ecosystem with 39 companies closing capital 
raisings this year and trading value remaining strong with 
$50M traded through the fiscal year. Further broadening 
of the network of sophisticated and institutional investors 
through more robust marketing efforts. The total number of 
sophisticated investors verified through the PrimaryMarkets 
Platform has increased 40% year-on-year.

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)

Post the acquisition of Registry Direct, the Group’s 
growth strategy remains primarily organic, although the 
Board is continuing to assess a number of strategic and 
complementary acquisition opportunities.

Complii is ready and remains committed to look for synergistic, 
complimentary acquisition and partnership opportunities 
which complements the Group’s organic growth strategy.

Executive Chair and Managing Director’s summary

We continue to build a unique ecosystem, delivering strong 
ARR growth and strong cash flow for all activities, supported  
by solid cash at bank. 

Having invested to build a unique ecosystem, we will 
continue to drive organic growth through new products and 
partnerships, increasing our share of our addressable market. 

We also continue to explore synergistic acquisitions, and this 
will remain a broad focus building upon the success of our 
aggregations of both PrimaryMarkets and Registry Direct. 

This will help both increase the size of our addressable market 
as well as increase opportunities for cross-selling. 

Our Group’s cross-selling capabilities provide an expected 
upside for organic growth within our Group. 

We are also focused on improving efficiency in our operations, 
particularly our go-to-market. 

Complii is well positioned to give our shareholders a strong 
trajectory into FY24.

Operationally, the Complii group has grown into a substantial 
player within the capital markets Regtech industry, recognised 
for leadership, customer service and innovation. We have 
established ourselves as the “go-to” vendor thanks to our 
integrated platform, the only one of its kind. 

We have the capabilities, skills and resources to turbo-charge 
the impact of our investments and deliver strong results, 
developing and managing increasingly integrated and 
customised SaaS solutions for a wide range of client types.

We strengthened our executive team with the appointment of 
a full-time CFO (5 Sept 2022) who joined from Automic Group 
and a full-time Group Head of Marketing (1 Feb 2023).

The quality of customer relationships and service satisfaction 
levels remain a top priority, as is our ability to understand 
users’ operating needs and resolve their pain points, driving 

enduring loyalty. This supports cross-selling solutions to 
our existing client base. FY23 has also seen a renewed focus 
on building our sales and marketing capabilities, aiming at 
delivering new opportunities at lower cost of acquisition, and 
increase our customers’ lifetime value to the group: If H1 FY23 
was still focused on product development and integration, H2 
FY23 saw an additional stream of work focused on new clients 
acquisition supported by a strong marketing presence and 
capabilities.

Our aim is to accelerate further our market penetration,  
both organically and through partnerships and acquisitions 
when relevant.

In summary, our operational capabilities have been 
strengthened and will support our growth efforts, driven 
increasingly by new client acquisitions alongside the extension 
of products and services update by existing clients.

Main business units

Complii

Review of operations

The Complii group has worked on integrating the various 
business units to drive synergies and cost savings as well 
as deliver an integrated offer working seamlessly from 
one business unit to another. We have been harmonising 
technologies and centralising certain functions and capabilities 
at group level to avoid duplication. A significant portion 
of our development activities have been classified as R&D 
activities which enabled the Group to again be the recipient of 
significant government grants for FY22 activities. 

During the year, the Company has completed a takeover of 
Registry Direct Ltd (“Registry Direct”). Registry Direct provides 
share and unit registry services to Australian and international 
companies and trusts operating in Australia. Registry Direct 
has created and developed arguably Australia’s only fully 
featured software-as-a-service (SaaS) registry management 
platform, which is designed to better manage shareholder data 
and communications. On completion of the Registry Direct 
takeover on 31 August 2022, the Company appointed Steuart 
Roe as an Executive Director. 

Additionally, Complii plans to continue to look for 
complementary strategic opportunities throughout FY24 and 
beyond.

Complii completed upgrades of several existing 
modules and completed one new distinct SaaS 

module build during the year, which have been upsold 
and delivered into 4 existing AFSL client environments. As 
announced on 31 January 2023, Complii has also commenced 
working on a new Customer Relationship Management (‘CRM’) 
system for the Australian Investment Exchange (‘AUSIEX’). 
All these new and improved modules are being rolled out 
enhancing the revenue opportunity for the Group. 

Complii has also commenced work with our larger customers 
on future major enhancements and developments to the 
broader offering, which will assist them in growing their 
businesses in conjunction with Complii, further becoming 
industry standard.

Registry Direct

During the year the Company completed the 
Registry Direct acquisition which has seen a strong 
uptick in Registry Direct revenue numbers. The acquisition of 
Registry Direct has proven the Group’s breadth in the market 
and solidified the growth of a company once it has the power 
of the Group behind it, versus being on its own. The Registry 
Direct revenue numbers and new business on the horizon has 
clearly shown this upward trend. Complii is continuing to focus 
its Group marketing and resources to realise this opportunity.

PrimaryMarkets

During the year the IT development and 
support of the PrimaryMarkets Trading Platform 

was brought in house with further trading opportunities 
added to the platform. Development of the integration of 
PrimaryMarkets into the Complii Corporate Highway project 
continues whereby all trading and investment opportunities 
will be able to be accessed and cross promoted to AFSL client 
firms.

Options and Performance Rights

Complii had positive take up of the majority of its $0.05  
options which had an expiry date of 31 December 2022.  
This shows strong commitment and support from its Board 
and shareholders backing the Company. On 31 December 
2022, a number of Company unlisted Options each with an 
exercise price of $0.05 were exercised resulting in cash receipts 
of $1,152,291 during the year.

Operating Results

The group has a strong balance sheet with cash at bank 
(including Term Deposits) at 30 June 2023 being $5.796m with 
no debt and no new equity placements since December 2020. 

The group experienced net cash outflows from operating 
activities of $1,710,216 (2022: cash inflow $995,853).

The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income 
tax amounted to $5,448,706 (30 June 2022: profit of $114,937).

Group revenue has fallen by 8.2% to $7,934,160 in the year 
ended 30 June 2023, down from $8,642,969 in the prior year 
driven mainly by the decrease in PrimaryMarkets’ transactional 
revenue which was expected due to the poor general global 
financial market conditions.

During the year the Group received a Research & Development 
grant for FY22 activities of $2.4 million. The Group is currently 
preparing its Research & Development tax incentive 
application for submission to AusIndustry. We anticipate 
receiving a R&D grant of circa $1.17m for FY23 activities in FY24.

During the year ended 30 June 2023 the Group incurred $17.6 
million (2022: $9.8 million) in expenses, this included several 
one-off and non-cash expenses.

Annual Report FY23   16

Complii FinTech SolutionsDirectors’ report

Consultancy fees were $1.0m (30 June 2022: $0.27m), an 
increase of $0.73m (272%) on the prior year. The increase is 
due to new contractors hired to complete development work 
as a result of winning new clients and expanding relationships 
with current clients. These expenses have shown a solid 
increase in ARR in FY23 which will continue in FY24 and 
beyond.

Employee benefit expenses were $7.91m (30 June 2022: 
$4.79m), an increase of $3.12m (65%) on the prior year. This 
was mainly driven by additional staff taken on through the 
Registry Direct acquisition completed during the year ($1.40m), 
a full year of staff costs for PrimaryMarkets versus 8 months 
of costs in FY22 ($0.86m (2023: $1.65m v 2022: $0.79m)), a 
one-off payout in relation to Director termination ($0.14 
million), a one-off Annual Leave cash out ($0.06m), recruitment 
and termination/resignation expenses ($0.20m) and the 
investment in new hires tasked to drive business.

Legal fees decreased by $0.31m (59%) on the prior year.  
FY22 legal fees were mainly in relation to the acquisition of 
Registry Direct business completed in FY23. 

Depreciation and amortisation of $1.60m (30 June 2022: 
$0.21m) reflects the investment in Property Plant and 
Equipment, Intangibles and Right of Use assets of the Group.

Impairment expense of $1.82m (2022 $nil) reflects the 
impairment of the PrimaryMarket acquisition. See note 13 for 
additional information.

Other expenses have increased $1.13m in FY23. This increase 
was driven by costs associated with the Registry Direct 
acquisition, increased insurance premiums and increased 
marketing costs. 

The Group also incurred costs of $0.44m in relation to the 
acquisition of Registry Direct during the year. These costs have 
been expensed against several categories in FY23 including 
Legal expenses and Consulting fees.

The increase in expenses in FY23 is driven by investments both 
in acquisition and organic growth and are expected to deliver 
an incremental ARR and a positive ROIC. Across the Group, the 
sales and marketing team is focused on increasing our brand 
awareness and lead-generation cost-effectively, as well as 
cross-sell all Group products and services. 

Set out below is a proforma Profit and Loss for the year 
ended 30 June 2023 removing material one-off and non-cash 
expenses the adjusted loss after providing for income tax is

Annual Report FY23   17

Complii FinTech SolutionsDirectors’ report

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 
2023 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect 
the consolidated entity’s operations, the results of those 
operations, or the consolidated entity’s state of affairs in future 
financial years.

Likely developments, prospects and  
business strategies

Likely developments, future prospects and business strategies 
of the operations of the Group and the expected results of 
those operations have not been included in this report as the 
Directors believe that the inclusion of such information would 
be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

Environmental, social and Governance

Our environmental commitment

Complii is committed to being a responsible and sustainable 
business. 

Although the consolidated entity is not subject to any 
significant environmental regulation under Australian 
Commonwealth State of Territory law, the Company is seeking 
to undertake in the future, an analysis of Company objectives 
that can reduce its environmental footprint. 

Corporate Governance

Complii’s Board of Directors is responsible for the corporate 
governance of Complii FinTech Solution Ltd. The Board 
guides and monitors the business affairs of the Group on 
behalf of stakeholders and its activities are governed by the 
Constitution.

Our Corporate Governance Statement is founded on 
the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s principles and 
recommendations. The statement is periodically reviewed 
and, if necessary, revised to reflect the challenging nature of 
the industry.

The responsibilities of the Board of Directors and those 
functions reserved to the Board, together with the 
responsibilities of the Managing Director are set out in 
our board Charter. To assist with governance Complii has 
established relevant policies and procedures.

For copies of policies, procedures and charters, please visit the 
Complii website and navigate to For Shareholders > Corporate 
Governance.

Material Business Risks

There are various internal and external risks that may have a 
material impact on the Group’s future financial performance 
and economic sustainability. The Group makes every effort to 
identify material risks and to manage these effectively.

From a sustainability perspective, the Company’s ability to 
provide resilient operations requires disciplined long-term risk 
management and a commitment to operating as a responsible 
corporate citizen.

 The Company’s disciplined approach to long-term risk 
management is a critical component in the resilience of our 
day-to-day operations, as it reduces the impact and likelihood 
of negative outcomes. While we are unable to guarantee there 
will never be negative outcomes, the Company is committed 
to continually improving its risk management practices 
and embedding a risk management culture as we strive to 
minimise their occurrence.

Long-term resilience also comes from the adoption of 
responsible business practices. While technology and society 
continue to evolve, doing the right thing remains a constant in 
business.

The expected results from those operations in future financial 
years have not been included because they depend on factors 
such as general economic conditions, the risks outlined below 
and the success of the Company’s strategies, some of which 
are outside the control of the Group.

The material business risks affecting the Company are set 
out below. In addition to these risks, the Company may also 
face a range of other risks from time to time in conducting its 
business activities.

Customer retention and revenue growth

The Company’s growth strategy is largely dependent on 
maintaining and increasing the number of customers that use 
the Complii, PrimaryMarkets and Registry Direct platforms 
and each of the various service modules along with the 
acquisition of synergised products. The Company’s ability 
to retain customers may fluctuate as a result of a number 
of factors including their satisfaction with the Platforms, 
customer support services, prices, competitor prices, broker 
consolidation and new feature releases. If customers do not 
renew their existing licences or renew on less favourable 
terms (i.e. with a reduced number of service modules), the 
Company’s revenue may decline or grow less quickly than 
anticipated, which may impact its operations.

Annual Report FY23   18

Complii FinTech SolutionsDirectors’ report

Complii is mitigating this risk as much as possible, by 
increasing customer relationship meetings, striving for 
exceptional client service, maintaining competitive pricing 
whilst providing a unique configurable experience to each 
customer.  Complii has also an expanded its sales and 
marketing effort to increase market share and revenue growth.

Competition

The industry in which the Company is involved is subject to 
domestic and global competition. 

Whilst similar offerings to components of the Complii Platform 
may exist internationally, Complii is not aware of any direct 
competitors operating in Australia who provide the full range 
of modules offered by the Complii Platform. Complii is aware 
of competitors who provide services in respect of some 
of the modules offered i.e. the ThinkCaddie and Capital 
Raising service modules. The Company is also aware of 
direct competitors who provide services similar to that of the 
PrimaryMarkets, Registry Direct, Shroogle and ASG businesses.

The Company faces the potential loss of its competitive or 
market position as a result of potential product innovation by 
existing competitors or new entrants to the market, which the 
Company many not anticipate or respond to with sufficient 
speed to maintain its market position.

Other competitive risks faced by the Company include price 
competition, competitor marketing campaigns, and mergers 
or acquisitions by competitors and possible new entrants to 
the Company’s industry. The risks may have a negative impact 
on the Company’s growth and financial performance.

To lessen these risks, Complii continues to innovate its product 
offering, listen to its customers and develop enhancements 
to its platforms that will benefit the customer base.  Complii 
also continues to either develop or acquire business units that 
increase its offering to its existing and new potential customer 
base, making it a broader solution within the one ecosystem, 
which is increasing its value proposition to customers.

Changes in technology

The Company operates in an industry in which technology 
is evolving rapidly with the frequent introduction of new 
technologies, products and innovations. Customers 
behaviours, preferences and trends are also consistently 
changing upon the onset of new methods of communication 
and digital platforms. The Company must continue to evolve 
and adapt its products and service offerings to maintain its 
competitive position. There is a risk that the Company will not 
be able to introduce new and superior products and services 
at the rate seen by other competitors in the market generally. 

The Company ensures that it continues to evolve and adapt 
its products and service offerings on an ongoing basis to offer 
new functions and to comply with new regulatory obligations. 
The Company understands the success of any enhancement 
or new feature depends on several factors, including the 
Company’s understanding of market demand, timely 
execution, successful introduction, and market acceptance, 
and based on this understanding will mitigate risk of not being 
forefront on technology and regulatory changes. 

Cyber and security risks

The Company stores data in its own systems and networks and 
also with a variety of third-party service providers. Breaches of 
security including hacking, denial of service attacks, malicious 
software use, internal intellectual property theft, data theft 
or other external or internal security threats could put the 
integrity and privacy of customers’ data and business systems 
used by the Company at risk which could impact technology 
operations and ultimately customer satisfaction with the 
Company’s products and services, leading to lost customers 
and revenue.

The impact of loss or leakage of customer or business data 
could include costs for potential service disruptions, litigation 
and brand damage which may potentially have a material 
adverse impact on the Company’s reputation as well as its 
profitability. Furthermore, any such historical and public 
security breaches could impact the Company’s ability to 
acquire future customers and revenue. In addition, substantial 
costs may be incurred in order to prevent the occurrence of 
future security breaches.

Whilst the Company has established risk management systems 
to prevent cyber-attacks and any potential data security 
breaches, including firewalls, encryption of customer data 
(storage and transmission) and a privacy policy, there are 
inherent limitations on such systems, including the possibility 
that certain risks have not been identified. There can be no 
guarantee that the measures taken by the Company will be 
sufficient to detect or prevent data security breaches.

However, the Company continues to lessen this risk by working 
with gold standard Cyber-security experts to implement and 
maintain appropriate Information Security Management 
Systems (ISMS), aligns itself, its operations, practices, policies 
and procedures to the industry standards and ensures that 
appropriate penetration testing and auditing is carried out 
continuously.

Annual Report FY23   19

Complii FinTech SolutionsDirectors’ report

Reliance on third party IT suppliers 

Loss of key personnel or skilled workers

The Company relies on certain contracts with third party 
suppliers, to maintain and support its IT infrastructure and 
software, which underpin its core business activities. In 
particular, the Company relies on Microsoft Azure and Amazon 
Web Services (AWS) to maintain continuous operation of its 
technology platforms, servers and hosting services and the 
cloud based environment in which it provides its products. 
The Company’s reliance on such third parties to provide key 
services decreases its control over the delivery of these services 
and the quality and reliability of the services provided. There is 
a risk that these third party systems may be adversely affected 
by various factors such as damage, faulty or aging equipment, 
power surges or failures, computer viruses, or misuse by staff 
or contractors. Other factors such as hacking, denial of service 
attacks, or natural disasters may also adversely affect these 
systems and cause those services to become unavailable. Any 
delay, disruption or deterioration in the level of services by 
a third party provider could impair the Company’s ability to 
provide services to its customers at all or to the service levels 
the Company and its clients expect. This could lead to a loss of 
revenue while the Company is unable to provide its services, as 
well as adversely affecting its reputation.

The company has appropriate data loss prevention policies 
and procedures as well as data failover procedures in place to 
ensure that this risk is minimised as much as possible.

The Group’s ability to be productive, profitable and 
competitive and to implement planned growth initiatives 
depends on the continued employment and performance of 
senior executives and management. The Group’s performance 
is also depends on its ability to attract and retain skilled 
workers with the relevant industry and technical experience. 
The loss of a number of key personnel or the inability to attract 
additional personnel may have an adverse impact on the 
Group’s financial and operating performance. The Company 
continues to employ, cross train and empower staff to grow 
and learn to be the next leaders within the firm and industry.  
The Company also adopts a culture designed to keep staff 
engaged, happy and ultimately retain its staff. 

Regulatory risk

The Company’s Platforms and service modules are the subject 
of continuous development and need to be updated on an 
ongoing basis in order to ensure that the products and services 
comply with the current financial laws and regulations. There 
are no guarantees that the Company will be able to undertake 
such development successfully. Failure to successfully 
undertake such research and development, anticipate 
technical problems, or estimate research and development 
costs or timeframes accurately will adversely affect the 
Company’s results and viability.

In addition, the introduction of new legislation or amendments 
to existing legislation by governments, developments in 
existing common law, or the respective interpretation of the 
legal requirements in any of the legal jurisdictions which 
govern The Company’s operations or contractual obligations, 
could impact adversely on the assets, operations and, 
ultimately, the financial performance of the Company and its 
Shares. In addition, there is a commercial risk that legal action 
may be taken against the Company in relation to commercial 
matters.

The Company has a number of service agreements to work 
closely with firms which provide Compliance professional 
services, allowing it to maintain an understanding and keep up 
to date with any regulatory changes coming up.  The Company 
also works with Compliance professionals working within 
our customers firms, which helps mitigate risk and ensure 
the Company is on the front foot of any technology changes 
required for any upcoming regulatory changes.

Complii FinTech SolutionsRemuneration report (audited)

The remuneration report details the key 
management personnel (KMP) remuneration 
arrangements for the consolidated entity, 
in	accordance	with	the	requirements	of	the	
Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.

KMP are those persons having authority and responsibility for 
planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, 
directly or indirectly, including all Directors. In this report 
“Executive KMP” refers to members of the Executive team that 
are KMP and includes Mr Ian Kessell (Chief Operating Officer), 
Mr Marcus Ritchie (Managing Director - PrimaryMarkets) 
(Resigned 12 May 2023), Mr James Green (Chairman - 
PrimaryMarkets) and Ms Karla Mallon (Chief Financial Officer) 
(Appointed 5 September 2022).

The remuneration report is set out under the following main 
headings:

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is responsible 
for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for 
its Directors and KMP. The performance of the consolidated 
entity depends on the quality of its Directors and Executives. 
The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain 
high performance and high-quality personnel.

The reward framework is designed to align Executive KMP 
reward to shareholders’ interests. The Board have considered 
that it should seek to enhance shareholders’ interests by:

 › Having economic profit as a core component of plan 

design;

 › Focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, 
consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and 
delivering constant or increasing return on assets as well 
as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of 
value; and

 › Principles used to determine the nature and amount of 

 › Attracting and retaining high calibre executives.

Principles used to determine the nature and 
amount of remuneration

The objective of the consolidated entity’s Executive KMP 
reward framework is to ensure reward for performance 
is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. 
The framework aligns Executive KMP reward with the 
achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value 
for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market 
best practice for the delivery of reward. The Board of Directors 
(‘the Board’) ensures that Executive KMP reward satisfies the 
following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

 › Competitiveness and reasonableness

 › Acceptability to shareholders

 › Performance linkage / alignment of executive 

compensation

 › Transparency

 › Capital management

Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance 
executives’ interests by:

 › Rewarding capability and experience;

 › Reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in 

shareholder wealth; and

 › Providing a clear structure for earning rewards.

In accordance with best practice corporate governance,  
the structure of Non-Executive Director and Executive Director  
is separate.

Non-Executive Directors remuneration

Fees and payments to Non-Executive Directors reflect the 
demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-Executive 
Directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Nomination 
and Remuneration Committee may, from time to time, receive 
advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure 
Non-Executive Directors’ fees and payments are appropriate 
and in line with the market. The Chairman’s fees are 
determined independently to the fees of other Non-Executive 
Directors based on comparative roles in the external market. 
The Chairman is not present at any discussions relating to 
the determination of his own remuneration. Non-Executive 
Directors do not receive share options or other incentives.

Annual Report FY23   25

Complii FinTech Solutions 
Remuneration report (audited)

ASX listing rules require the aggregate Non-Executive 
Directors’ remuneration be determined periodically by a 
general meeting. As approved by shareholders at the annual 
general meeting held on 30 November 2016, the aggregate 
remuneration of Non-Executive Directors has been set at an 
amount not to exceed $300,000 per annum.

Executive KMP remuneration

The consolidated entity aims to reward Executive KMP based 
on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of 
remuneration which has both fixed and variable components.

The Executive remuneration and reward framework has four 
components:

 › Base pay and non-monetary benefits;

 › Short-term performance incentives;

 › Share-based payments; and

 › Other remuneration such as superannuation and long 

service leave.

The combination of these comprises the Executive’s total 
remuneration. 

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation, 
and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by 
the Nomination and Remuneration Committee based 
on individual and business unit performance, the overall 
performance of the consolidated entity and comparable 
market remunerations.

Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form 
of cash or other fringe benefits where it does not create any 
additional costs to the consolidated entity and provides 
additional value to the Executive KMP.

The short-term incentives (‘STI’) program is designed to 
align the targets of the business units with the performance 
hurdles of Executive KMP. STI is an annual “at risk” opportunity 
awarded to Executive KMP based on specific annual targets 
and key performance indicators (‘KPI’s’) being achieved. 
Performance conditions are clearly defined and measurable 
and designed to support the financial and strategic direction of 
the business and in turn translate to shareholder return. STI is 
currently awarded to Executive KMP in 100% cash.

The long-term incentives (‘LTI’) include long service leave 
and share-based payments. Options and Performance Rights 
are awarded to Executive KMP over a period of three years 
based on long-term incentive measures. These include 
increase in shareholders value relative to the entire market 
and the increase compared to the consolidated entity’s direct 
competitors.

Non-audit services

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for 
non-audit services provided during the financial year by the 
auditor are outlined in note 25 to the financial statements.

The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-
audit services during the financial year, by the auditor 
(or by another person or firm on the auditor’s behalf), is 
compatible with the general standard of independence for 
auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

The Directors are of the opinion that the services as 
disclosed in note 30 to the financial statements do 
not compromise the external auditor’s independence 
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following 
reasons:

 › All non-audit services have been reviewed and 

approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity 
and objectivity of the auditor; and

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

Notes to the financial statements

for the year ended 30 June 2023

Note 1    Significant accounting 

Critical accounting estimates

policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation 
of the financial statements are set out below. These policies 
have been consistently applied to all the years presented, 
unless otherwise stated.

New or amended Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations adopted

There have been no impact to the financial statements 
arising from new or amended Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards 
Board (‘AASB’) that are mandatory for the current reporting 
period.

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

Going concern

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern 
basis which assumes the settlement of liabilities and the 
realisation of assets in the normal course of business. 

The Group has incurred a loss before income tax benefit of 
$6,917,734 (2022: profit of $114,937) and experienced net cash 
outflows from operating activities of $1,710,216 (2022: inflows 
of $995,853). As at 30 June 2023, the Group had cash and cash 
equivalents of $5,796,052 (2022: $5,736,421).

Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards 
and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting 
Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations Act 2001, as 
appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial 
statements also comply with International Financial Reporting 
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards 
Board (‘IASB’).

Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the 
historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, 
the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value 
through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through 
other comprehensive income, investment properties, certain 
classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative 
financial instruments.

The preparation of the financial statements requires the 
use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires 
management to exercise its judgement in the process of 
applying the consolidated entity’s accounting policies. The 
areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or 
areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the 
financial statements, are disclosed in note 2.

Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial 
statements present the results of the consolidated entity 
only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is 
disclosed in note 31.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets 
and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Complii FinTech Solutions 
Ltd (‘Company’ or ‘parent entity’) as at 30 June 2023 and the 
results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Complii 
FinTech Solutions Ltd and its subsidiaries together are referred 
to in these financial statements as the ‘consolidated entity’.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated 
entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity 
when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, 
variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has 
the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the 
activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from 
the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated 
entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control 
ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains 
on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity 
are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless 
the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the 
asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have 
been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the 
policies adopted by the consolidated entity.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the 
acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership 
interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as 
an equity transaction, where the difference between the 
consideration transferred and the book value of the share of 
the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in 
equity attributable to the parent.

Annual Report FY23   45

Complii FinTech Solutions 
Notes to the financial statements

for the year ended 30 June 2023

Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, 
it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and 
non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any 
cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. 
The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the 
consideration received and the fair value of any investment 
retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.

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.

Revenue recognition

The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows:

Revenue from contracts with customers

The core principle of AASB 15 is that revenue is recognised on 
a basis that reflects the transfer of promised goods or services 
to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration the 
Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or 
services. Revenue is recognised by applying a five-step process 
outlined in AASB 15 which is as follows:

Step 1   

 Identify the contract with a customer;

Step 2  

 Identify the performance obligations in the contract 
and determine at what point they are satisfied;

Step 3  

 Determine the transaction price;

Step 4  

 Allocate the transaction price to the performance 
obligations;

Step 5  

 Recognise revenue as the performance obligations 
are satisfied. 

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 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 is recognised when or as a performance obligation in 
the contract with customer is satisfied, i.e. when the control of 
the goods or services underlying the particular performance 
obligation is transferred to the customer. A performance 
obligation is a promise to transfer a distinct goods or service 
(or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially 
the same and that have the same pattern of transfer) to the 
customer that is explicitly stated in the contract and implied in 
the Group’s customary business practices.

The Company provides software to support the Financial 
services industry under agreed fee based contracts and the 
provision of Digital Registry services. Revenue is recognised 
based on the actual service provided to the end of the 
reporting period. Revenue is recognised in the amount 
to which services have been rendered at a point in time. 
Customers are invoiced monthly and consideration is payable 
when invoiced.

If the contract with customer contains more than one 
performance obligation, the amount of consideration is 
allocated to each performance obligation based on the relative 
stand-alone selling prices of the goods or services promised 
in the contract. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it 
is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount 
of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the 
uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is 
subsequently resolved.

The control of the promised goods or services may be 
transferred over time or at a point in time. The control over 
the goods or services is transferred over time and revenue is 
recognised over time if:

i 

ii 

 the customer simultaneously receives and consumes 
the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the 
Group performs;

 Group’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the 
customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or 
the Group’s performance does not create an asset with an 
alternative use and the Group has an enforceable right to 
payment for performance completed to date.

Revenue for performance obligation that is not satisfied over 
time is recognised at the point in time at which the customer 
obtains control of the promised goods or services.

Complii FinTech SolutionsNotes to the financial statements

for the year ended 30 June 2023

Government Grants

Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable 
assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions 
attaching to the grant and that the grant will be received. 
Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a 
systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognises 
as expenses the related costs for which grants are intended to 
compensate. If the grant relates to expenses or losses already 
incurred by the entity, or to provide immediate financial 
support to the entity with no future related costs, the income is 
recognised in the period in which it becomes receivable.

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the 
effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the 
amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest 
income over the relevant period using the effective interest 
rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future 
cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to 
the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Other revenue

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

Income 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.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary 
differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the 
assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those 
tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:

 › When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from 
the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a 
transaction that is not a business combination and that, at 
the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting 
nor taxable profits; or

 › When the taxable temporary difference is associated 

with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, 
and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is 
probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in 
the foreseeable future.

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.

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred 
tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets 
recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable 
that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount 
to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are 
recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future 
taxable profits available to recover the asset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a 
legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current 
tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; 
and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same 
taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle 
simultaneously.

Complii FinTech Solutions Ltd (the ‘head entity’) and its wholly-
owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax 
consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The head 
entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue 
to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The 
tax consolidated group has applied the ‘separate taxpayer within 
group’ approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes 
to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.

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 consolidated 
entity’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 consolidated entity’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.

Annual Report FY23   47

Complii FinTech Solutions 
Notes to the financial statements

for the year ended 30 June 2023

Cash and cash equivalents

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.

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.

Investments and other financial assets

Investments and other financial assets are initially measured 
at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial 
measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through 
profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either 
amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. 
Classification is determined based on both the business model 
within which such assets are held and the contractual cash 
flow characteristics of the financial asset unless an accounting 
mismatch is being avoided.

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive 
cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the 
consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks 
and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable 
expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, it’s 
carrying value is written off.

Financial assets at amortised cost

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost only if both of 
the following conditions are met: (i) it is held within a business 
model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect 
contractual cash flows; and (ii) the contractual terms of the 
financial asset represent contractual cash flows that are solely 
payments of principal and interest.

Financial assets at fair value through other 
comprehensive income

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive 
income include equity investments which the consolidated 
entity intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has 
irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial 
recognition.

Impairment of financial assets

The consolidated entity recognises a loss allowance for 
expected credit losses on financial assets which are either 
measured at amortised cost or fair value through other 
comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss 
allowance depends upon the consolidated entity’s assessment 
at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial 
instrument’s credit risk has increased significantly since 
initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable 
information that is available, without undue cost or effort to 
obtain.

Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure 
to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected 
credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of 
the asset’s lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable 
to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. 
Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where 
it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, 
the loss allowance is based on the asset’s lifetime expected 
credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised 
is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present 
value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the 
instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through 
other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised 
in other comprehensive income with a corresponding expense 
through profit or loss. In all other cases, the loss allowance 
reduces the asset’s carrying value with a corresponding 
expense through profit or loss.

Complii FinTech SolutionsNotes to the financial statements

for the year ended 30 June 2023

Property, plant and equipment

Intangible assets

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less 
accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost 
includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the 
acquisition of the items.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off 
the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment 
(excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:

Leasehold improvements 

Plant and equipment 

2.5 years

2-3 years

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are 
reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the unexpired 
period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, 
whichever is shorter.

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 date 
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 consolidated 
entity 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 consolidated entity 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 
or loss as incurred.

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, 
other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value 
at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired 
separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life 
intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently 
measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible 
assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation 
and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit 
or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are 
measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds 
and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method 
and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed 
annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption 
or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the 
amortisation method or period.

Goodwill

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.

Research and development

Research costs are expensed in the period in which they 
are incurred. Development costs are capitalised when it is 
probable that the project will be a success considering its 
commercial and technical feasibility; the consolidated entity 
is able to use or sell the asset; the consolidated entity has 
sufficient resources and intent to complete the development; 
and its costs can be measured reliably. Capitalised 
development costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over 
the period of their expected benefit.

Customer contracts

Customer contracts acquired in a business combination are 
amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their 
expected benefit, being their finite life of 5 years.

Platform & Software Development

Software development costs are capitalised when incurred. They 
have a finite life and are carried at cost less any accumulated 
amortisation and impairment. Software development costs 
are amortised over 4 years and are assessed for impairment 
when an impairment trigger event occurs.

Complii FinTech Solutions 
 
Notes to the financial statements

for the year ended 30 June 2023

Customer relationships

Customer relationships for customers of PrimaryMarkets at 
date of acquisition are deferred and amortised on a straight-
line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their 
finite life of 10 years. 

Licence Establishment 

Significant costs associated with AFSL Licence are deferred 
and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their 
expected benefit, being their finite life of 4 years. 

Impairment of non-financial assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite 
useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested 
annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or 
changes in circumstances indicate that they might be 
impaired. Other non-financial assets are reviewed for 
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances 
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An 
impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the 
asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less 
costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the 
present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to 
the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or 
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do 
not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form 
a cash-generating unit.

Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services 
provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the 
financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term 
nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not 
discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid 
within 30 days of recognition.

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.

Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary 
benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to 
be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are 
measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the 
liabilities are settled. 

Other long-term employee benefits

The liability for annual leave and long service leave not 
expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting 
date are measured at the present value of expected future 
payments to be made in respect of services provided by 
employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit 
credit method. 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 high quality 
corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that 
match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Share-based payments

Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation 
benefits are provided to employees.

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options 
over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for 
the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards 
of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash 
is determined by reference to the share price.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair 
value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined 
using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing 
model that takes into account the exercise price, the term 

Annual Report FY23   50

Complii FinTech SolutionsNotes to the financial statements

for the year ended 30 June 2023

of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant 
date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the 
expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the 
term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that 
do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives 
the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No 
account is taken of any other vesting conditions.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an 
expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the 
vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is 
calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the 
best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest 
and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount 
recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative 
amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts 
already recognised in previous periods.

The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each 
reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the 
Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into 
consideration the terms and conditions on which the award 
was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until 
settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:

 › During the vesting period, the liability at each reporting 

date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by 
the expired portion of the vesting period.

 › From the end of the vesting period until settlement of the 
award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the 
reporting date.

All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The 
ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to 
settle the liability.

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining 
fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions 
are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that 
market condition has been met, provided all other conditions 
are satisfied.

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an 
expense is recognised as if the modification has not been 
made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining 
vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair 
value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date 
of modification.

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the 
consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the 
condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not 
within the control of the consolidated entity or employee 
and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining 

expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting 
period, unless the award is forfeited.

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has 
vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense 
is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is 
substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new 
award is treated as if they were a modification.

Fair value measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is 
measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, 
the fair value is based on the price that would be received 
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly 
transaction between market participants at the measurement 
date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in 
the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in 
the most advantageous market.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market 
participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, 
assuming they act in their economic best interests. For 
non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based 
on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are 
appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data 
are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the 
use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of 
unobservable inputs.

Issued capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new 
shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of 
tax, from the proceeds.

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.

Annual Report FY23   51

Complii FinTech SolutionsNotes to the financial statements

for the year ended 30 June 2023

On the acquisition of a business, the consolidated entity 
assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed 
for appropriate classification and designation in accordance 
with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the 
consolidated entity’s operating or accounting policies and 
other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date.

Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the 
consolidated entity remeasures its previously held equity 
interest in the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and 
the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying 
amount is recognised in profit or loss.

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 Complii FinTech Solutions Ltd, 
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 (‘GST’) and other 
similar taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of 
associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the 
tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the 
acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of 
GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable 
from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables 
or other payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components 
of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities 
which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are 
presented as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the 
amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.

New Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations not yet mandatory or early 
adopted

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have 
recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, 
have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the 
annual reporting period ended 30 June 2023. The consolidated 
entity has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended 
Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

Note 2 

 Critical accounting 
judgements, estimates and 
assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires 
management to make judgements, estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the 
financial statements. Management continually evaluates its 
judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, 
contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management 
bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical 
experience and on other various factors, including expectations 
of future events, management believes to be reasonable under 
the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and 
estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The 
judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant 
risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts 
of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the 
next financial year are discussed below.

Share-based payment transactions

The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled 
transactions with employees 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 Binomial 
or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and 
conditions upon which the instruments were granted. 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 and 
equity.

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 makes assumptions to allocate an overall expected credit 
loss rate for each group. These assumptions include recent 
sales experience and historical collection rates.

Fair value measurement hierarchy

The consolidated entity is required to classify all assets and 
liabilities, measured at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, 
based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the 
entire fair value measurement, being: Level 1: Quoted prices 
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities 
that the entity can access at the measurement date;  
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 
1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly 
or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset 
or liability. Considerable judgement is required to determine 
what is significant to fair value and therefore which category 
the asset or liability is placed in can be subjective.

The fair value of assets and liabilities classified as level 3 is 
determined by the use of valuation models. These include 
discounted cash flow analysis or the use of observable inputs 
that require significant adjustments based on unobservable 
inputs.

Estimation of useful lives of assets

The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful 
lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for 
its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible 
assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of 
technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation 
and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives 
are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete 
or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will 
be written off or written down.

Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets

The consolidated entity tests annually, or more frequently 
if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, 
whether goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 
have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the 
accounting policy stated in note 1. 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.

Annual Report FY23   53

Complii FinTech SolutionsNotes to the financial statements

for the year ended 30 June 2023

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill 
and other indefinite life intangible assets

The consolidated entity assesses impairment of non-financial 
assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible 
assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions 
specific to the consolidated entity and to the particular 
asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger 
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. 
This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use 
calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and 
assumptions.

Income tax

The consolidated entity is subject to income taxes in the 
jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is 
required in determining the provision for income tax. There 
are many transactions and calculations undertaken during 
the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate 
tax determination is uncertain. The consolidated entity 
recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based 
on the consolidated entity’s current understanding of the tax 
law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different 
from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the 
current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such 
determination is made.

Recovery of deferred tax assets

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

Employee benefits provision

As discussed in note 1, the liability for employee benefits 
expected to be settled more than 12 months from the 
reporting date are recognised and measured at the present 
value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect 
of all employees at the reporting date. In determining the 
present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay 
increases through promotion and inflation have been taken 
into account.

Business combinations

As discussed in note 1, business combinations are initially 
accounted for on a provisional basis. The fair value of assets 
acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed are 
initially estimated by the consolidated entity taking into 
consideration all available information at the reporting date. 
Fair value adjustments on the finalisation of the business 
combination accounting is retrospective, where applicable, to 
the period the combination occurred and may have an impact 
on the assets and liabilities, depreciation and amortisation 
reported.

Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes 
thereto, related to taxation, are based on the best estimates 
of the Directors. These estimates consider both the financial 
performance and position of the Company as they pertain 
to current income tax legislation. The current income tax 
position represents that Directors’ best estimate, pending an 
assessment by tax authorities in relevant jurisdictions.

The Group has accumulated tax losses of $31,613,751 (2022: 
$25,429,505) which may be available for offset against future 
taxable profits of the Group in which the losses arose. The 
recoupment of these losses is subject to assessment by the 
Australian Taxation Office.

Note 13 Non-current assets –

As the acquisition of Registry Direct has been provisionally 
accounted for, Registry Directs goodwill has not been reviewed 
for impairment.

Impairment testing

Goodwill acquired through business combinations have been 
allocated to the following cash-generating units:

PrimaryMarkets

Registry Direct

6,205,528 

6,357,244 

- 

6,357,244 

6,205,528 

The recoverable amount of the consolidated entity’s goodwill 
for PrimaryMarkets has been determined by a value-in-use 
calculation using a discounted cash flow model, based on 
a 1 year projection period approved by management and 
extrapolated for a further 4 years using a steady rate, together 
with a terminal value.

Key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount 
of an asset or cash-generating units is most sensitive.

The following key assumptions were used in the discounted 
cash flow model for PrimaryMarkets:

 › 13% pre-tax discount rate;

 › FY24 per projected revenue and FY25 to FY28 3% per 

annum projected revenue growth rate;

 › FY24 per projected revenue and FY25 to FY28 3% per 
annum increase in operating costs and overheads.

The discount rate of 13% pre-tax reflects management’s 
estimate of the time value of money and the consolidated 
entity’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 3% revenue growth rate 
is prudent and justified, based on the general slowing in the 
market.

There were no other key assumptions.

Based on the above, an impairment charge of $1,816,050 
has been applied as the carrying amount of goodwill 
exceeded its recoverable amount for the intangible assets of 
PrimaryMarkets. This has been allocated against Goodwill, 
with the excess allocated against Platform & Software 
Development.

Ordinary shares

Capital risk management

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends 
and the proceeds on the winding up of the Company in 
proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares 
held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and 
the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised 
capital.

On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in 
person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each 
share shall have one vote.

Share buy-back

There is no current on-market share buy-back.

The consolidated entity’s objectives when managing capital is 
to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that 
it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other 
stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to 
reduce the cost of capital.

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the 
statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is 
calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the 
consolidated entity may adjust the amount of dividends paid 
to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new 
shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an 
opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as 
value adding relative to the current Company’s share price 
at the time of the investment. The consolidated entity is not 
actively pursuing additional investments in the short term as it 
continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order 
to maximise synergies.

The consolidated entity is subject to certain financing 
arrangements covenants and meeting these is given priority 
in all capital risk management decisions. There have been no 
events of default on the financing arrangements during the 
financial year.

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from 
the 30 June 2022 Annual Report.

denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign 
currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Foreign exchange 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 has no material exposure to foreign exchange risk.

Price risk

Price risk relates to the risk that the fair value or future cash 
flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of 
changes in market prices. The consolidated entity is not 
exposed to any significant price risk.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a 
financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in 
market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of 
changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the 
Group’s cash held on term deposit. A sensitivity analysis was 
performed and the assessment determined that a movement 
in interest rates is not considered to be material to the Group’s 
profit and loss.

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default 
on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to 
the consolidated entity. The Group has adopted a policy of 
only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining 
sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of 
mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.

The Group does not have significant credit risk exposure to any 
single counterparty at the reporting date.

The credit risk on liquid cash funds is limited because the 
counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by 
international credit-rating agencies.

The consolidated entity has adopted a lifetime expected 
loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade 
receivables through the use of a provisions matrix using 
fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions 
are considered representative across all customers of the 
consolidated entity based on recent sales experience, historical 
collection rates and forward-looking information that is 
available. The consolidated entity has assessed the expected 
credit losses to trade receivables and concluded that no 
allowance is required.

Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no 
reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include

the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no 
active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual 
payments for a period greater than 1 year.

Liquidity risk

Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the consolidated 
entity to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash 
equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay 
debts as and when they become due and payable.

The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining 
adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by 
continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and 
matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Remaining contractual maturities

The following tables detail the consolidated entity’s remaining 
contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. 
The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted 
cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on 
which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables 
include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as 
remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals 
may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of 
financial position.

Note 32 Business combinations

PrimaryMarkets Limited

Details of the acquisition are as follows:

On 3 November 2021, Complii FinTech Solutions Limited 
acquired 100% of the ordinary shares of PrimaryMarkets 
Limited (PrimaryMarkets) as detailed in the bidder’s statement 
lodged with the ASX on 22 September 2021. As consideration 
for the acquisition Complii issued the following securities:

 › 105,000,000 ordinary shares;

 › 16,000,000 unquoted options each exercisable at $0.075 on 

or before 3 November 2023; and

 › 21,000,000 unquoted options each exercisable at $0.10 

each on or before 3 November 2023.

The initial accounting for the acquisition of PrimaryMarkets 
was provisionally determined as at 30 June 2022. During 
the half-year in accordance with the requirements of AASB 3 
Business Combinations, the necessary valuations have been 
finalised with the assistance of an independent valuation 
expert. The assessment resulted in the recognition of 
separately identifiable intangible assets being technology of 
$4,977,049, and Customer Relationships of $899,061.

The fair value of the consideration has been determined 
with reference to the fair value of the issued shares of 
PrimaryMarkets Limited immediately prior to the acquisition 
and has been determined to be $6,623,900, based on 
105,000,000 shares based on a value of $0.055 per share and 
16,000,000 options based on a value of $0.0251 per option 
and 21,000,000 options based on a value of $.0213, being the 
issue price under the Offer. As a result, goodwill of $1,798,446 
have been determined being the difference between the 
consideration and the fair value of net assets of PrimaryMarkets 
Limited as at the acquisition date.

Note 32 Business combinations 

Details of the acquisition are as follows:

continued

Registry Direct Limited

On 31 August 2022, Complii FinTech Solutions Limited 
acquired 91.04% of the ordinary share capital of Registry Direct 
Limited (Registry Direct) as detailed in the bidder’s statement 
lodged with the ASX on 4 July 2022. On 5 October 2022 
following completion of the compulsory acquisition process, 
Complii FinTech Solutions Limited acquired the remaining 
8.96% of the Ordinary share capital of Registry Direct.

Registry Direct provides share and unit registry software and 
services. Registry Direct is highly complementary to Complii as 
it will provide access and engagement to ~100,000+ holdings 
with investors, advisers and companies.

Registry Direct has ~700+ listed and unlisted companies and trusts, 
which complements Complii’s PrimaryMarkets with providing 
stockholders with future liquidity and Private Trading Hub 
opportunities when these companies look to stay private longer 
whilst still offering liquidity for shareholders, raise new capital, 
undertake sell downs and/or progress towards an ASX listing.

Acquisition of Registry Direct enhances Complii’s aim to 
facilitate T+0 execution and settlement of secondary trading of 
securities in unlisted companies and funds.

On completion of the acquisition, the Company has issued to 
the accepting shareholders: (a) 84,572,835 fully paid ordinary 
shares in the capital of the Company; and (b) 28,191,026 
unlisted options exercisable at $0.125 each and expiring 31 
August 2024. In addition to the issues of securities under the 
Takeover Offer, the Company issued 4.5 unquoted options 
for every one Registry Direct option held. Consequently, the 
Company has issued 1,388,890 unlisted options exercisable at 
$0.0675 each and expiring 31 May 2023 under the Company’s 
15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The fair value of the consideration paid has been determined 
with reference to the fair value of the issued shares of Registry 
Direct Limited immediately prior to the acquisition and has 
been determined to be $8,639,491, based on 84,572,835 shares 
based on a value of $0.0850 per share, 8,326,135 shares based 
on a value of $0.0850 per share, 30,966,439 options on a value 
of $0.0254 per option and 1,388,890 options based on a value 
of $0.030 per option, being the issue price under the Offer. As a 
result, goodwill of $6,357,244 has been determined being the 
difference between the consideration and the fair value of net 
assets of Registry Direct Limited as at the acquisition date. The 
acquisition has been provisionally accounted for.

Impact of acquisition on the results of the Group

Included in the loss for the year is a loss of $459,639 
attributable to Registry Direct Limited. Revenue for the year 
includes $1,246,786 in respect of Registry Direct Limited.

Had the acquisition of Registry Direct Limited been effected 
at 1 July 2022, the revenue of the Group from continuing 
operations for the 12 months ended 30 June 2023 would have 
been $8,161,144, and the loss for the year from continuing 
operations would have been $7,167,476. The directors of the 
Group consider these ‘pro-forma’ numbers to represent an 
approximate measure of the performance of the combined 
group on a yearly basis and to provide a reference point for 
comparison in future years.

The weighted average remaining contractual life of performance rights outstanding at the end of the financial year was 2.33 years (2022: 
2.86 years).

For the performance rights granted during the current financial year, a black scholes model was used to calculate the fair value of 
performance rights with a market-based condition, using a volatility rate of % and the share price and risk-free rate at grant date. The 
classes with non-market based conditions were valued based on the share price at the date of issue and the probability of the vesting 
conditions being met.

The valuation model inputs used to determine the fair value at the grant date, are as follows:

TO THE MEMBERS OF COMPLII FINTECH SOLUTIONS LIMITED 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Complii FinTech Solutions Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries 

(“the Consolidated Entity”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at  30 June 

2023,  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: 

a.

the accompanying financial report of the Consolidated Entity is in accordance with the Corporations Act
2001, including:

(i)

giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2023 and
of its financial performance for the year then ended; and

(ii)

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

b.

the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in note

1.

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 Consolidated Entity in accordance with the auditor independence 
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and 

Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant 
to  our  audit  of  the  financial  report  in  Australia.  We  have  also  fulfilled  our  other  ethical  responsibilities  in 

accordance with the Code. 

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

Key Audit Matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit 
of the financial report of the current period.  These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the 

financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on 
these matters.

Key Audit Matter 

How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter 

Impairment Assessment 

As disclosed in note 13 to the financial statements, 
the Consolidated Entity had intangible assets with 

a  carrying  amount  of  $11,596,686  as  at  30  June 

2023.  An  impairment  loss  of  $1,816,050  was 
recognised. 

The  impairment  assessment  of  the  Consolidated 
Entity’s intangible assets is a Key Audit Matter due 

to: 

• The  significance  of 

the  balance 

to 

the

Consolidated Entity’s financial position; and

• The  presence  of  impairment  indicators  and
judgement  required  in  assessing  the  value  in

use  of  the  cash  generating  units  (“CGU’s”)  to
which the intangible assets relate.

Other Information 

Our procedures included the following: 

•

•

•

Assessed 

the

Consolidated 

Entity’s 

determination of CGU’s;

Assessed  management’s  value 
calculations 

in  use
including  analysis  of  key

assumptions  and  inputs  such  as  discount
rates  and  assessing  the  reasonableness  of

the forecasts prepared; and

Assessment  of  the  appropriateness  of  the
disclosures included in note 13 to the financial
report.

The  directors  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises  the  information 

included in the Consolidated Entity’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2023 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 note 1, the 
directors also state in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard  AASB 101 Presentation of Financial 

Statements, that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.  

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Consolidated Entity’s ability to 

Annual Report FY23   83

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 Consolidated Entity or to cease 
operations, or has 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 Consolidated Entity’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  Consolidated  Entity’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  Consolidated Entity 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.

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
activities within the Consolidated Entity to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible

for  the  direction,  supervision  and  performance  of  the  Consolidated  Entity  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 

Annual Report FY23   84

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, related safeguards. 

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. 

Report on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2023.  

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report 
in accordance with s 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the 

remuneration report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. 

Auditor’s Opinion 

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of  Complii FinTech Solutions Limited, for the year ended 30 June 
2023, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
