CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 
30 JUNE 2020 

Dear Shareholder 

It has been an extraordinary year to say the least. Not only for the company, but for the country overall. 

The second half has been subject to immense disruption but I would like to thank the management and  staff at 
DomaCom for their outstanding efforts in being able to adapt to this disruption and continue to drive forward to 
realise the vision of this innovative and forward-thinking organisation. 

During the 19-20 financial year, we finally realised our objective of bringing the Senior Equity Release product to 
a  marketplace,  that  is  in  desperate  need  of  a  solution  for  the  baby  boomers  moving  into  retirement  with 
insufficient  funds  to  last  their  ever-increasing  life  expectancy.  This  has  taken  many  years  of  perseverance, 
resilience  and,  to  use  a  former  Prime  Minister’s  words,  John  Howard,  “stickability”.  Many  people  would  have 
given  up  on  this  vision  but  our  management  and  staff  stayed  the  course  and  with  our  recent  announcement, 
post the end of the financial year, regarding the ATO’s confirmation that the Downsizer benefit can be used for 
partial sale of people’s homes, it further enhances this extremely attractive option to give retired people dignity 
and a comfortable lifestyle without having to sell their entire home. 

This was not the only client focused offering brought to market during the year. Arthur Naoumidis as CEO will 
cover in more detail some of the offerings that will make a big difference to many. Aspects such as the Rent to 
Own and Essential Worker affordable housing makes DomaCom a leader in technologically driven solutions to 
support many of those in need. 

Additionally, with interest rates at  an all-time low and unlikely to move for some time we  are seeing  a greater 
demand  for  both  ends  of  the  lending  and  borrowing  spectrum  looking  for  greater  yield  without  moving 
substantially up the risk return frontier. Our mortgage sub funds create that opportunity. 

We should not forget the basis that DomaCom was founded. It still is an important component of our offering to 
an ever-increasing sophisticated marketplace. Fractional property investing is as relevant today as it was when 
Arthur  conceived  the  idea.  Diversification  is  a  known  tool  for  reduction  of  risk  and  with  the  lumpiness  of 
investment required by individual properties, our fractional property investing allows people to diversify across a 
range of locations and types of property particularly with SMSF’s. 

DomaCom  has  proved  itself  to  be  a  versatile  business.  Our  focus  on  property  initially,  with  a  revolutionary 
technology platform, arguably one of the best in the marketplace, has shown that it can adapt to fractionalising 
many different types of investments.  

Opportunities  that  don’t  fit  the  current  investment  paradigms  and  platforms  can  often  fit  the  flexibility  of  the 
DomaCom  platform.    For  example,  Islamic  mortgages  (which  have  specific  compliance  requirements), 
environmentally friendly solar and wind farms and primary production farms to name a few. 

The  future  is  exciting.  The  DomaCom  product  and  service  offering  combines  a  real  set  of  solutions  for 
community-based  demands  as  well  as  solutions  for  everyday  people  to  minimise  risk  through  appropriate 
diversification.  Whilst  it has been  a difficult,  and in many cases, challenging  period for DomaCom, we believe 
we have our “ducks in a row” to capitalise on this unrealised potential. 

It would  be remiss of  me  not to  once  again thank  our many shareholders who have stuck with the vision and 
held their belief in this innovative organisation. I would also like to personally thank the management team led 
by Arthur and Ross, our hard-working staff, our leading-edge technology team and of course the Board who on 
a continual basis strive to balance the vision and the governance of this important revolutionary organisation.

CEO’S REPORT 
30 JUNE 2020 

Dear Shareholder  

Overview 

Our  environment  has  changed  considerably  this  past  year  with  the  country  being  in  the  COVID-19  pandemic 
and  DomaCom,  like  all  companies,  has  had  to  adjust  our  operations  and  sales  strategies  to  meet  these 
challenges. 

From  an  operational  perspective,  the  company  has  invoked  our  Business  Continuity  Plan  and  has  been 
operating on a fully remote basis since March 2020. Our business was well prepared for this transition as our 
platform is entirely hosted in the cloud. 

The  biggest  impact  to  our  business  from  the  pandemic  stems  from  the  spike  in  unemployment  which  is 
expected to result in an increase in rental vacancies. 

Our response has been to focus on products that we expect to perform well in this environment: 

-  Mortgage sub-funds 

With  interest  rates  and  dividends  being  at  historical  lows,  we  have  increased  our  marketing  focus  to  the 
mortgage syndication capability of our platform that will allow investors to access attractive interest rates. 
With rates of around 4% for residential backed loans and 8% for development loans, we are starting to see 
heightened interest from advisers. 

Additionally, our first pooled mortgage fund  has now reached over $20  million  and represents the  largest 
single sub-fund on the platform and we now have our second pooled mortgage fund in the process of being 
launched.  

-  Rent to Own (RTO) 

With  vacancy  risk  now  looming  as  one  of  the  biggest  risks  for  residential  property  investors,  our  RTO 
product is an innovation that delivers a very attractive tenant incentive of equity in the property that they are 
renting. 

The  product  creates  a  tenant  equity  reserve  holding  5%  of  the  units  in  the  sub-fund  that  owns  the 
investment property and is used to allocate 1% per year to the tenant for 5 years. The objective is to make 
our properties more likely to be chosen when a tenant has several to choose from which should reduce the 
risk of vacancy. 

- 

“Essential Worker” Affordable Housing 

It  has  been  widely  reported  that  there  is  a  crisis  in  the  availability  of  affordable  housing  in  Australia, 
particularly  in  Melbourne  and  Sydney,  and  it  is  expected  that  the  need  for  affordable  housing  will  only 
increase as a result of this pandemic. 

In  response  to  this  large  and  growing  market  opportunity  we  have  been  working  to  bring  a  product  to 
market  that  accesses  low-cost  government  debt  to  deliver  reduced  rent  for  “essential  workers”.  We  have 
partnered  with  a  leading  tier  1  Community  Housing  Provider  (CHP)  and  are  working  on  launching  a  $25 
million pilot later in 2020. 

-  Senior Equity Release (SER) 

The slashing of dividends and historically low interest rates have created a crisis for self-funded retirees in 
being able to live off the income generated by their superannuation investments and we have been working 
on how we can leverage  our SER product to assist these retirees.

CEO’S REPORT 
30 JUNE 2020 

None  of  the  government’s  COVID-19  initiatives  such  as  Job  Keeper,  Job  Seeker  or  Homebuilder  have 
assisted this cohort. By leveraging our SER product retirees can increase their super by selling a fraction of 
their house and depositing the proceeds into their super.  

The key to this has been obtaining confirmation from the Australian Tax Office (ATO) that a partial disposal 
of a property interest complies with the Downsizer legislation. This legislation has up until now required the 
retiree to sell their whole house but I am pleased to confirm that on Friday 14th  of August 2020 the ATO 
provided DomaCom with an “Administrative Binding Agreement” confirming that a partial disposal does in 
fact comply with the Downsizer legislation. 

This  ATO  confirmation  now  positions  our  SER  product  as  a  central  method  with  which  financial  advisers 
can help retirees improve their retirement income whilst remaining in their home. 

- 

Islamic Mortgage 

DomaCom  has been working on  a new  investment  option within our fund called “Equity Mortgage” which 
aims  to  deliver  leveraged  property  ownership  without  using  debt.    We  believe  that  this  product  meets 
Islamic compliance requirements that prohibit the paying or receiving of interest. 

We  are  not  aware  of  any  commercial  product  that  can  deliver  an  Islamic  compliant  mortgage  product  in 
Australia and we have been working with  a large Islamic B2C provider to conform the compliance of this 
product to the estimated 700,000 people making up the Australian Islamic community. 

We are aiming to enable the Australian Islamic community to purchase homes to live in and end up owning 
the homes. This product is less sensitive to the investment outlook as people will be using this to purchase 
their family homes. 

Outlook & Conclusion 

Whilst FY2020 has seen the occurrence of a “1 in 100 year” market dislocation, we believe DomaCom is well 
positioned to continue to grow during this challenging period. 

On the capital front, FY2020 has seen the  company begin a recapitalisation process to give the company time 
to continue to develop existing products and find new products that will enable us to deliver the outcome all of 
our shareholders are seeking – improved long term outlook with better share price performance. 

In FY2020 we welcomed HALO as a cornerstone investor and at the beginning of FY2021 we have been active 
in  seeking  additional  capital  and  are  working  on  transactions  for  the  business  that  will  improve  our  ongoing 
revenue and cashflow.

Review of operations and financial results 

The  Group  is  a  participant  in  the  financial  services  market  in  Australia.  DomaCom  Limited  is  the  holding 
company  and  DomaCom  Australia  Limited,  DomaCom  Platform  Services  Pty  Ltd  and  DomaCom  Singapore 
Private Limited are 100% owned subsidiaries of the DomaCom Group.  

DomaCom  Australia  Limited  is  the  investment  manager  of  the  DomaCom  Fund  (“the  Fund”)  (Managed 
Investment  Scheme).  The  Fund  allows  investors  to  hold  fractional  interests  in  underlying  assets,  that  they 
themselves have selected or their advisers on their behalf. 

During  the  last  12  months  the  assets  under  management  in  the  DomaCom  Fund  have  increased  from  $56 
million  to  $71  million  which  represents  a  27%  increase.  DomaCom  continues  to  fractionalise  assets  in  the 
following  areas  residential  housing,  residential  developments,  commercial  property,  Land  banking  and  in  the 
renewable energy sector. With the continued product development of the last few years DomaCom is now able 
to  crowdfund  both  the  debt  and  equity  funding  for  the  specific  property  assets,  which  has  increased  the 
attractiveness of the DomaCom model and also allowed assets to be onboarded more quickly. 

COVID-19 

DomaCom has not been significantly impacted operationally by COVID-19. As a cloud based business staff can 
work  effectively  from  home.  Our  main  target  market  is  the  financial  planning  industry  which  is  generally  well 
placed to interact using online services. 

Although there was an initial flattening in FUM growth in March/April 2020, FUM grew by 11% during the quarter 
ended 30 June 2020, demonstrating the ability to continue to operate during COVID-19 

COVID-19s recent impact on self-funded retirees’ income has increased the market for SER and we are seeking 
to obtain regulatory clarity on how the product works with the Government’s Downsizer legislation.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 
30 JUNE 2020 

The  Group  recognised  income  of  $50,000  for  amounts  received  from  the  Australian  Taxation  Office  from  the 
COVID-19 Boosting Cash Flow for Employers program. 

New Developments since last year 

New Developments since last year are summarised for the following product offerings: 

(cid:120)  Rent to Own  
(cid:120)  Affordable Housing 
(cid:120)  Diversified Pooled Mortgage Fund  
(cid:120)  Update on Senior Equity Release  

Rent to Own 
During the financial year DomaCom introduced innovative Rent to Own (RTO) concept, and has just completed 
their  first  property,  with  more  in  the  pipeline.  This  represents  a  win/win  approach  amongst  the  property 
developers,  the  tenants  and  the  investors  that  provide  capital.  The  concept  works  such  that  properties  are 
attainable from property developers in markets such as Melbourne and Sydney where there are over supply of 
housing who offer price discounts to the investors, DomaCom looks to attract a long term tenant ( say 5 years), 
which is attractive for tenants having that length of security and in doing so gift the tenants equity representing 
1%  for  each  year  for  5  years  of  the  investors  capital.  The  long-term  tenant  is  more  likely  to  look  after  the 
property as they also have equity in the property and can look to increase their equity by buying further units on 
DomaCom’s  secondary  market.  It  is  attractive  for  investors  who  are  receiving  discount  from  Developers  who 
forgo spending this money on marketing by passing the discount onto the buyers. 

Affordable Housing 
DomaCom continues to work in the Affordable Housing space as it believes that its model is very well placed to 
raise Funds from the capital markets, which in turn helps support the supply of Housing for Essential workers. 
DomaCom  is  working  closely  with  Community  Housing  Providers  and  the  National  Housing  Finance  and 
Investment  Corporation.  DomaCom  believes  the  work  undertaken  in  this  space  will  provide  benefits  into  the 
2020/2021 financial year. 

Diversified Pooled Mortgage Portfolio 
In 2019 DomaCom was successful in delivering a diversified Mortgage Portfolio for a key client. That portfolio 
continued to attract assets during the current financial year. Off the back of this development a pooled mortgage 
fund  has  been  developed  for  another  key  client.  This  product  allows  the  client  via  the  DomaCom  platform  to 
select  mortgages  that  are  most  suitable,  based  on  type  of  security  i.e.  commercial,  residential,  or  industrial, 
length  of  time,  loan  to  valuation  ratio  and  interest  rate.  This  will  represent  another  source  of  debt  funding  for 
projects that are onboarded to the DomaCom platform. 

Senior Equity Release Product Update 
The Senior Equity Release Product was launched in June 2019 after over 6 years in development and working 
closely  with  the  Australian  and  Securities  Investment  Commission.  This  is  a  first  as  no  other  company  in 
Australia has delivered a regulated Equity Release product to the Seniors market. 

This  product  adds  another  important  piece  of  the  puzzle  to  the  retirement  landscape  and  will  allow  Financial 
Planners  increased  choice  and  flexibility  when  dealing  with  Retirees  and  their  decision  with  regards  to  their 
options concerning remaining in the family house, downsizing or moving into aged care accommodation. 

The  DomaCom  product  allows  Retirees  to  sell  a  part  of  their  home  to  other  investors  and  in  return  receive  a 
lump sum payment or a regular income payment or a combination of the two. This will allow Retirees to enjoy 
their retirement years. Research indicates that many Retirees wish to remain living in their family homes and in

12. Remuneration Report (audited) 

The Directors present the Remuneration Report for Non-Executive Directors, Executive Directors and other Key 
Management  Personnel,  prepared  in  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001  and  the  Corporations 
Regulations 2001. 

The Remuneration Report is set out under the following main headings: 

a Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration; 
b Details of remuneration; 
c Service agreements; 
d Share-based remuneration; and 
e Other information 

a) Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 

The principles of the Group’s executive strategy and supporting incentive programs and frameworks are: 

- 
- 

- 

to align rewards to business outcomes that deliver value to shareholders 
to drive a high performance culture by setting challenging objectives and rewarding high performing 
individuals; and 
to ensure remuneration is competitive in the relevant employment market place to support the 
attraction, motivation and retention of executive talent. 

A remuneration framework has been structured that is market competitive and complementary to the reward 
strategy of the Group. 

The remuneration structure that has been adopted by the Group consists of the following components: 

- 
- 
- 

fixed remuneration being annual salary; 
short term incentives (STI), being cash-based sales bonuses; and 
long term incentives (LTI), being equity-based incentive plans. 

Short Term Incentives (STI) 
Short term incentives have been established to reward members of the sales department. The non-discretionary 
incentives are structured to reward performance against financial targets, including Funds Under Management.  

Long Term Incentives (LTI) 
The Group has established a long term equity-based incentive plan for Directors and staff in order to: 

- 
- 

assist in the retention and motivation of directors and employees; and 
provide an incentive to grow shareholder value by providing an opportunity to receive an ownership 
interest in the Company. 

The plan provides for the award of both Employee Share Options and Employee Performance Rights to 
Directors, executives, employees and consultants. 

As the Group listed on the ASX on 7P
included from 2016 onwards.

17.  Corporate Governance Statement 

The Board of DomaCom has adopted the following Corporate Governance policies and practices which are in 
accordance with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s “Corporate Governance Principles and 
Recommendations (3rd Edition)” (ASX Guidelines) unless otherwise stated. The ASX Corporate Governance 
Council (the “Council”) has issued a 4th Edition of its Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations 
(the “Principles and Recommendations”) that will take effect for an entity’s first full financial year commencing on 
or after 1 January 2020. 

Role and responsibility of the Board (Principle 1.1)   

The Board is responsible for the overall corporate governance of the Company, including establishing and 
monitoring key performance goals. The Board monitors the operational and financial position and performance 
of the Company and oversees its business strategy, including approving the strategic goals of the Company and 
considering and approving an annual business plan (including a budget). The Board is committed to maximising 
performance, generating appropriate levels of Shareholder value and financial return and sustaining the growth 
and success of the Company. In conducting the Company’s business with these objectives, the Board seeks to 
ensure that the Company is properly managed to protect and enhance Shareholder interests, and that the 
Company and its Directors, officers and personnel operate in an appropriate environment of corporate 
governance. Accordingly, the Board has created a framework for managing the Company, including adopting 
relevant internal controls, risk management processes and corporate governance policies and practices which it 
believes are appropriate for the Company’s business and which are designed to promote the responsible 
management and conduct of the Company.  

(cid:120)  The Board is responsible for the strategic direction of the company. 
(cid:120)  The Board reviews and approves the Company's proposed strategy. The objectives of the Company are 
clearly  documented  in  a  long  term  corporate  strategy  and  an  annual  business  plan  together  with 
achievable and measurable targets and milestones. 

(cid:120)  The Board approves budgets and other performance indicators and reviews performance against them 

and initiates corrective action when required. 

(cid:120)  The Board ensures that risks facing the company have been identified, assessed and that the risks are 

being properly managed. 

(cid:120)  The Board ensures that policies on key issues are in place and are appropriate. The Board also reviews 

compliance with policies. 

(cid:120)  The Board adopts the most effective structure that best assists the governance process. The selection of 
Directors is based on obtaining the most relevant and required skills, while also recognising the need to 
have a diversity of skills and experience on the Board. 

(cid:120)  The Board approves and fosters an appropriate corporate culture matched to the Company's values and 

strategies. 

(cid:120)  The  Board  appoints  the  Managing  Director  and  evaluates  his  or  her  ongoing  performance  against 

predetermined criteria.  (Principle 1.6) 

(cid:120)  The  Board  approves  remuneration  for  the  Managing  Director  and  remuneration  policy  and  succession 

plans for the Managing Director and senior management. (Principle 1.6) 

Board Charter (Principle 1.1)    

The Board currently comprises eight directors of whom two are also executives of the Company and two are 
also directors of an entity that has a substantial security holding in the Company. The majority of the Directors 
therefore are not independent. Independence is maintained through a combination of ensuring conflicts are 
declared, requiring conflicted directors to be excluded from discussions and decision making that may be 
materially impacted by conflicted interests and the Independent Chairman having the casting vote.

It may also establish other committees from time to time to assist in the discharge of its responsibilities. 

Audit Committee (Principle 4) 

The Board has established a Board Audit Committee. 

The purpose of the Committee is to assist the Board in the effective discharge of its responsibilities in relation to 
the external audit function, accounting policies, financial reporting, funding, financial risk management and 
certain compliance matters.

Remuneration and Nomination Committee (Principle 1.2/ 2.1/ 8.1-8.3) 

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee at present comprises the full Board. 

The Board considers that at this stage assuming the duties of a Remuneration and Nomination Committee is 
appropriate in light of the Company’s operations and size, and the size of the Board.  All of the Directors believe 
that they will able to, individually and collectively, analyse the issues before them objectively in the best interests 
of all shareholders and in accordance with their duties as Directors.   

The Board also addresses board succession issues and ensures that it has the appropriate balance of skills, 
knowledge, experience, independence and diversity to enable it to discharge its duties and responsibilities 
effectively. 

The Board Charter outlines duties relating to Remuneration and Nomination, and is made available on the 
Company website. 

The Company has established a long term incentive plan (LTIP) to assist in the motivation, reward and retention 
of executive directors and all other employees.  The LTIP is designed to align participants’ interests with the

Risk Management Policy (Principle 7.1-7.4)  

This policy sets out how the Company evaluates the effectiveness of its risk management framework to ensure 
that its internal control systems and processes are monitored and updated on an ongoing basis. 

The Board is responsible for reviewing the Company’s risk management framework, including adopting relevant 
internal controls, risk management processes and corporate governance policies and practices which it believes 
are appropriate for the Company’s business and which are designed to promote the responsible management 
and conduct of the Company.  

The Board at least annually reports on the effectiveness of the Company’s risk management and internal control 
policies and practices.  The Company does not currently have an internal audit function. The current structure 
for reviewing risks, controls and procedures within the Board is considered appropriate at the Company’s 
current stage of growth and size. 

The Board has reviewed the risk management framework during the financial year ended 30 June 2020.  

The Company monitors its exposure to all risks, including economic, environmental and social sustainability 
risks. Material business risks are described in the annual report, which also outlines the Company’s activities, 
performance during the year, financial position and main business strategies.  

Compliance with ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations 

The Board has evaluated the Company’s current corporate governance policies and practices in light of the ASX 
Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. A brief summary of the approach currently adopted 
by the Company is set out below: 

The Company complies with all of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations including, 
as not specifically addressed above:  
-  That at each AGM, the external auditor attends and is available to answer questions from security holders 

relevant to the audit.  (Principle 4.3) 

-  That shareholders have the option to receive communications from, and send communications to, the entity 

and its security registry electronically. (Principle 6.4) 

except in relation to the following:

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 
30 JUNE 2020 

-  Recommendation 2.1.(a) – the Board should establish a nomination committee comprising at least 3 

members, a majority of independent directors and chaired by an independent director, and should not be 
the same person as the CEO of the entity.  

-  Recommendation 2.4 – a majority of the Board of a listed entity should be independent directors. 
-  Recommendation 7.1.(a) –the Board should have a committee or committees to oversee risks comprising 

at least 3 members, a majority of independent directors and chaired by an independent director, and should 
not be the same person as the CEO of the entity. 

-  Recommendation 8.1.(a) – the Board should establish a remuneration committee comprising at least 3 

members, a majority of independent directors and chaired by an independent director, and should not be 
the same person as the CEO of the entity. 

The Board has carefully considered its size and composition, together with the specialist knowledge of its 
directors, and formed the view that based on its current composition, it has the necessary skills and motivation 
to ensure that the Company performs strongly, and there is sufficient accountability in the structure of the Board, 
to ensure the outcomes and objectives sought by the ASX Guidelines are achieved. Having regard for the size 
of the DomaCom Group, the Board considered that incorporating the risk management and nomination and 
remuneration procedures into the function of the Board has been an appropriate way of addressing the 
accountability and efficiencies sought to be achieved by the ASX Guidelines.    

The majority of the Board are not independent as two directors are also executives of the Company and two 
directors are also directors of an entity that has a substantial security holding in the Company. Independence is 
maintained through a combination of ensuring conflicts are declared, requiring conflicted directors to be 
excluded from discussions and decision making that may be materially impacted by conflicted interests and the 
Independent Chairman having the casting vote.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

NOTE 1: GENERAL INFORMATION AND STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE 

The  financial  report  includes  the  financial  statements  and  notes  of  DomaCom  Limited  (the  “Company”)  and  its 
Controlled Entities (the “Group”).  

The consolidated general purpose financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the 
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative 
pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards 
results in full compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International 
Accounting Standards Board (IASB). DomaCom Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the 
financial statements. 

The financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 were approved and authorised for issue by the Board of 
Directors on 27 August 2020. 

NOTE 2: NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED 

New Standards adopted at 1 July 2019 

The following standards and interpretations have been recently issued and have been adopted by the Group for the 
year ended 30 June 2020. 

AASB 16 Leases 

AASB 16 Leases replaces AASB 117 Leases and associated interpretations and became mandatorily effective for 
financial years beginning after 1 January 2019. Accordingly, these standards apply for the first time to these 
financial statements.  

At transition on 1 July 2019 there was one property lease with 1 month remaining for $11,142. The lease was 
subsequently renewed for a period of 12 months ending 31 July 2020. The Group has benefited from the use of 
hindsight for determining the lease term when considering the option to extend the lease and a right-of-use asset of 
$145,631 was established for this lease at 1 July 2019 with a term of 13 months. There was no impairment of the 
asset during the current period. The cost of the asset of $145,631 less depreciation of $134,429 during period 
resulted in the disclosure of a Right-of-Use of $11,202 at 30 June 2020. The incremental annual borrowing rate 
applied under AASB 16 was 8%. The 13 months of operating lease liabilities before discounting of $151,530 were 
discounted by $5,899 at the incremental borrowing rate to create an operating lease liability at transition of 
$145,631. The property lease was accounted for as an operating lease under AASB 117 Leases in the prior period. 
The new Standard has been adopted using the modified retrospective approach such that the comparative 
numbers for the prior period have not been restated. The opening balance of retained earnings has not been 
restated. All other leases at transition and in existence in the current and prior periods are short term leases and 
therefore the expense has been accounted for on a straight-line basis. 

AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments 

AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments became mandatorily effective for financial years 
beginning after 1 January 2019. It clarifies how to apply the recognition and measurement requirements in AASB 
112 Income Taxes when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. 

As there are no uncertain tax positions within the DomaCom tax group, the adoption of the interpretation did not 
have any impact on the disclosures or the amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

(a)  Overall considerations 

The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these financial statements are 
summarised below. 

The financial statements have been prepared using the measurement bases specified by Australian Accounting 
Standards for each type of asset, liability, income and expense.  The measurement bases are more fully described 
in the accounting policies below. 

Segmental Reporting 
Financial information reported internally used for the allocation of resources and assessing performance is 
currently presented without reference to segments. Therefore profit and loss, revenues and expenses and assets 
and liabilities have been presented without segmentation. 

(b)  Basis of consolidation 

The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 30 June 
2020.  The Parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with 
the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary.  All subsidiaries 
have a reporting date of 30 June. 

All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised 
gains and losses on transactions between Group Companies.  Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales 
are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a Group perspective.  
Amounts reported in the financial statements of Subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure 
consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group. 

Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are 
recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.  
Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary’s profit or loss and net 
assets that is not held by the Group.  The Group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries 
between the owners of the Parent and the non-controlling interests based on their respective ownership interests. 

(c)  Foreign currency translation 

Functional and presentation currency  
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars ($AUD), which is also the functional 
currency of the Parent Company. 

Foreign currency transactions and balances  
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the respective Group entity, using the 
exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions (spot exchange rate).  Foreign exchange gains and 
losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the re-measurement of monetary items at year 
end exchange rates are recognised in profit or loss.   

Non-monetary items are not retranslated at year-end and are measured at historical cost (translated using the 
exchange rates at the date of the transaction), except for non-monetary items measured at fair value which are 
translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(c) Foreign currency translation (continued) 

Foreign operations  
In the Group’s financial statements, all assets, liabilities and transactions of Group entities with a functional 
currency other than the $AUD are translated into $AUD upon consolidation.  The functional currency of the Entities 
in the Group has remained unchanged during the reporting period. 

On consolidation, assets and liabilities have been translated into $AUD at the closing rate at the reporting date.  
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity have been treated as assets and 
liabilities of the foreign entity and translated into $AUD at the closing rate.  Income and expenses have been 
translated into $AUD at the average rate over the reporting period.  Exchange differences are charged / credited to 
other comprehensive income and recognised in the currency translation reserve in equity.  On disposal of a foreign 
operation the cumulative translation differences recognised in equity are reclassified to profit or loss and 
recognised as part of the gain or loss on disposal. 

(d)  Revenue 

To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Group follows a 5-step process:  
1. Identifying the contract with a customer  
2. Identifying the performance obligations  
3. Determining the transaction price  
4. Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations  
5. Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.  

Revenue is recognised either at a point in time or over time, when (or as) the Group satisfies performance 
obligations by transferring the promised services to its customers. 

The Group recognises contract liabilities for consideration received in respect of unsatisfied performance 
obligations and reports these amounts as other liabilities in the statement of financial position. Similarly, if the 
Group satisfies a performance obligation before it receives the consideration, the Group recognises either a 
contract asset or a receivable in its statement of financial position, depending on whether something other than the 
passage of time is required before the consideration is due. Interest income is reported on an accruals basis. 
Revenue arises mainly from the investment management services provided to the DomaCom Fund. This is 
recognized at a point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied. 

The DomaCom Group may be entitled to claim a refundable tax credit for eligible research and development 
expenditure (eg the Research and Development Tax Incentive regime in Australia or other investment allowances). 
The DomaCom Group accounts for a claim as an offset against eligible capitalised R&D expenditure. To the extent 
the claim relates to costs that were expensed as they did not meet the capitalisation criteria under AASB 138 
Intangible Assets, this amount is recognised as Income recognised from research and development incentive at a 
point in time. 

(e)  Operating expenses 

Operating expenses are recognised in profit or loss upon utilisation of the service or at the date of their origin.

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(f)  Intangible assets 

Recognition of other intangible assets 

Acquired intangible assets 

Acquired computer software is capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and install the specific 
software.  

Internally developed intangibles 

Expenditure on the research phase of projects to develop the software platform is recognised as an expense as 
incurred. 

Costs that are directly attributable to a project’s development phase are recognised as intangible assets, provided 
they meet the following recognition requirements: 

(cid:120)  the development costs can be measured reliably 
(cid:120) 
(cid:120) 
(cid:120) 
(cid:120) 

the project is technically and commercially feasible 
the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete the project 
the Group has the ability to use or sell the asset 
the software will generate probable future economic benefits 

Development costs not meeting these criteria for capitalisation are expensed as incurred. 

Subsequent measurement 

All intangible assets, including the internally developed software platform, are accounted for using the cost model 
whereby capitalised costs are amortised on a systematic basis over their estimated useful lives, as these assets 
are considered finite.  Residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date.  In addition, they are 
subject to impairment testing. Any capitalised internally developed asset that is not yet complete is not amortised 
but is subject to impairment testing. The following useful lives are applied: 

-  Software: 5 years 
-  Software platform costs: 5 years (see Note 3r) 

The DomaCom Group may be entitled to claim a refundable tax credit for eligible research and development 
expenditure (eg the Research and Development Tax Incentive regime in Australia or other investment allowances). 
The DomaCom Group accounts for a claim as an offset against eligible capitalised R&D expenditure to the extent 
the claim relates to capitalised expenditure.  

Subsequent expenditures on the maintenance of computer software and the software platform will be expensed as 
incurred. 

When an intangible asset is disposed of, the gain or loss on disposal is determined as the difference between the 
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, and is recognised in profit or loss within other income or other 
expenses.

(g)  Property, plant and equipment 

Plant and equipment is initially recognised at acquisition cost, including any costs directly attributable to bringing 
the assets to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the 
Group’s management.  

Plant and equipment is subsequently measured using the cost model, cost less subsequent depreciation and 
impairment losses.  

Depreciation is recognised on a straight-line basis to write down the cost less estimated residual value of plant and 
equipment. The following useful lives are applied: 

-  Furniture & fittings: 5 years 
-  Plant & office equipment: 5 years 
-  Computer equipment: 3 years 

Material residual value estimates and estimates of useful life are updated as required, but at least annually.  
Gains or losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between 
the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognised in profit or loss within other 
income or other expenses. 

(h)   Leased assets 

The following accounting policy is applicable from 1 July 2019. 

The Group as a lessee  

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

• the contract contains an identified asset, which is either explicitly identified in the contract or implicitly specified by 
being identified at the time the asset is made available to the Group  
• the Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset 
throughout the period of use, considering its rights within the defined scope of the contract  
• the Group has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. The Group assess 
whether it has the right to direct ‘how and for what purpose’ the asset is used throughout the period of use.  

Measurement and recognition of leases as a lessee  

At lease commencement date, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet. 
The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which is made up of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any 
initial direct costs incurred by the Group, an estimate of any costs to dismantle and remove the asset at the end of 
the lease, and any lease payments made in advance of the lease commencement date (net of any incentives 
received).  

The Group depreciates the right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the 
earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The Group also assesses 
the right-of-use asset for impairment when such indicators exist.  

At the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments 
unpaid at that date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate is readily available or the 
Group’s incremental borrowing rate.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(h) Leased Assets (continued) 

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are made up of fixed payments (including in 
substance fixed), variable payments based on an index or rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual 
value guarantee and payments arising from options reasonably certain to be exercised.  

Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability will be reduced for payments made and increased for interest. It is 
remeasured to reflect any reassessment or modification, or if there are changes in in-substance fixed payments. 
When the lease liability is remeasured, the corresponding adjustment is reflected in the right-of-use asset, or profit 
and loss if the right-of-use asset is already reduced to zero.  

The Group has elected to account for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets using the practical 
expedients. Instead of recognising a right-of-use asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to these are 
recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  

Accounting policy applicable before 1 July 2019 

Where the Group is a lessee, payments on operating lease agreements are recognised as an expense on a 
straight-line basis over the lease term. Associated costs, such as maintenance and insurance, are expensed as 
incurred. 

(i) 

Impairment testing of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment 

For impairment assessment purposes, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely 
independent cash inflows (cash-generating units).  As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment 
and some are tested at cash-generating unit level.   

Individual assets or cash-generating units are tested 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 or cash-generating unit's carrying amount 
exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use.  To determine 
the value-in-use, management estimates expected future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and 
determines a suitable interest rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.  The data used for 
impairment testing procedures are directly linked to the Group's latest approved budget, adjusted as necessary to 
exclude the effects of future reorganisations and asset enhancements.  Discount factors are determined 
individually for each cash-generating unit and reflect management’s assessment of respective risk profiles, such as 
market and asset-specific risks factors.  

Impairment losses for cash-generating units reduce first the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to that cash-
generating unit.  Any remaining impairment loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in the cash-generating unit.  
With the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss 
previously recognised may no longer exist.   

An impairment charge is reversed if the cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(j)  Financial instruments 

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

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

Trade and other receivables 

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted 
in an active market.  After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest 
method, less provision for impairment.  Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.  The 
Group's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments. 

Individually significant receivables are considered for impairment when they are past due or when other objective 
evidence is received that a specific counterparty will default.  Receivables that are not considered to be individually 
impaired are reviewed for impairment in Companies, which are determined by reference to the industry and region 
of a counterparty and other shared credit risk characteristics.  The impairment estimate is then based on the 
expected credit loss. 

Classification and subsequent measurement of financial liabilities 

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, and related party loans 

Financial Liabilities 

Financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 
All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument's fair value that are reported in profit or loss 
are included within finance costs or finance income.  

Compound Instruments 

The component parts of compound instruments (convertible notes) issued by the Company are classified 
separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and 
the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.  Conversion options that will be settled by the 
exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Company’s own equity 
instruments is an equity instrument. 

At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for 
similar non-convertible instruments.  This amount is recognised as a liability on an amortised cost basis using the 
effective interest method until extinguished upon conversion or at the instrument’s maturity date. 

The conversion option classified as equity is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from 
the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole.  This is recognised and included in equity, net of income tax 
effects, and is not subsequently remeasured.  In addition, the conversion option classified as equity will remain in 
equity until the conversion option is exercised, in which case, the balance recognised in equity will be transferred to 
issued capital.  Where the conversion option remains unexercised at the maturity date of the convertible note, the 
balance recognised in equity will be transferred to retained profits/ accumulated losses.  No gain or loss is 
recognised in profit or loss upon conversion or expiration of the conversion option.

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(j) Financial Instruments (continued) 

Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible notes are allocated to the liability and equity 
components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds.  Transaction costs relating to the equity 
component are recognised directly in equity.  Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in 
the carrying amount of the liability component and are amortised over the lives of the convertible notes using the 
effective interest method. 

(k)  Income taxes 

Tax expense recognised in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognised in other 
comprehensive income or directly in equity. 

Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, the Australian Taxation 
Office (ATO) and other fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods, that are unpaid at the 
reporting date.  Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the financial statements. 
Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by 
the end of the reporting period.  

Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases.  However, deferred tax is not provided on the initial 
recognition of goodwill, or on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related transaction is a 
business combination or affects tax or accounting profit.  Deferred tax on temporary differences associated with 
investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures is not provided if reversal of these temporary differences can be 
controlled by the Group and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their 
respective period of realisation, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting 
period.   

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilised against future 
taxable income, based on the Group’s forecast of future operating results which is adjusted for significant non-
taxable income and expenses and specific limits to the use of any unused tax loss or credit. Deferred tax liabilities 
are always provided for in full.  

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Group has a right and intention to set off current tax 
assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority. 

Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax income or expense in profit or 
loss, except where they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income (such as the revaluation 
of land) or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive 
income or equity, respectively.    

(l)  Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, together with other short-term, highly 
liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant 
risk of changes in value.

(m) Equity, reserves and dividend payments 

Share capital represents the fair value of shares that have been issued.  Any transaction costs associated with the 
issuing of shares are deducted from share capital, net of any related income tax benefits.  

Retained earnings includes all current and prior period retained profits.  

Dividend distributions payable to equity shareholders are included in other liabilities when the dividends have been 
approved in a general meeting prior to the reporting date.  

All transactions with owners of the parent are recorded separately within equity.    

(n)   Employee benefits 

Short-term employee benefits 

Short-term employee benefits, including annual leave entitlement, are current liabilities included in employee 
benefits, measured at the undiscounted amount that the Group expects to pay as a result of the unused 
entitlement.   

Share-based payments 

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Group or Shareholders for no cash 
consideration. 

The fair value of shares granted is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in 
equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees 
become unconditionally entitled to the shares. 

(o)  Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets  

Provisions for legal disputes, onerous contracts or other claims are recognised when the Group has a present legal 
or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be 
required from the Group and amounts can be estimated reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be 
uncertain. 

Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most 
reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present 
obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in 
settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. Provisions are discounted to their 
present values, where the time value of money is material. 

Any reimbursement that the Group can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation 
is recognised as a separate asset. However, this asset may not exceed the amount of the related provision. 

In those cases where the possible outflow of economic resources as a result of present obligations is considered 
improbable or remote, no liability is recognised.

(p)  Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

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

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

(q)  Going Concern 

As a developing business the Group has experienced a loss of $5,778,671 and negative operating cash flows as 
set out in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Group has net working capital of $850,299 and a net 
liability position of $276,366.  

The continuing viability of the Group and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Group 
being successful in continuing to grow Funds under Management (“FUM”) within the DomaCom Fund and the 
ability to raise capital. A detailed sales pipeline and forecast is continuously updated and reported to the Board on 
a regular basis.  

The Group has demonstrated an ability to adapt to changing market conditions and develop various product 
offerings to meet investor needs. The strategy for continued growth includes further expanding the direct to 
consumer distribution channel that will work alongside DomaCom’s established financial adviser network. Further 
significant product developments are also expected to grow FUM, including the recently introduced Rent-To-Own 
product that enables tenants to take an equity interest in their rental properties. Also a unique Shariah compliant 
product is being developed targeting the Australian Islamic community and other communities that are prohibited 
from borrowing money. In addition DomaCom is focused on providing investment opportunities within the themes of 
regional investment, affordable housing and renewable energy. The success of these opportunities is constantly 
monitored within the sales pipeline review process.  

Cash flow forecasts are presented and discussed at each Board Meeting. The need to raise additional funds is 
carefully monitored. DomaCom intends to raise additional capital to meet its short to medium term operating 
requirements. The maturity dates of the Convertible Notes were extended by 12 months to reduce the amount of 
short term capital required. As an ASX listed entity DomaCom has been able to successfully complete 2 Private 
Placements and an Entitlement Offer during the year ended 30 June 2020. 

The COVID-19 has had a minimum operational impact on DomaCom with staff successfully transitioning to remote 
working. Also our main target market is the financial planning industry which is generally well placed to interact 
using online services. Although there was an initial flattening in FUM growth in March/April 2020, FUM grew by 
11% during the quarter ended 30 June 2020, demonstrating the ability to continue to operate during COVID-19. 
The Group recognised income of $50,000 for amounts received from the Australian Taxation Office from the 
COVID-19 Boosting Cash Flow for Employers program. 

If these matters are not achieved, there may be significant uncertainty as to whether the Group will continue as a 
going concern and, therefore, whether it will realise its assets and settle its liabilities in the normal course of 
business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. The Directors believe that the Group will be able to 
access sufficient sources of funds and implement cost control measures if required and are satisfied that the Group 
will continue as a going concern. The Group has shown the ability to raise capital during the current year. 
Accordingly, the financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. No adjustments have been made to 
the financial report relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amounts or the amount and 
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(r)  Significant management judgement in applying accounting policies and estimation uncertainty 

When preparing the financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and 
assumptions about the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. 

Significant management judgements 

The following are significant management judgements in applying the accounting policies of the Group that have 
the most significant effect on the financial statements. 

Capitalisation of internally developed software platform 

Distinguishing the research and development phases of the internally developed software platform and determining 
whether the recognition requirements for the capitalisation of development costs are met requires judgement. After 
capitalisation, management monitors whether the recognition requirements continue to be met and whether there 
are any indicators that capitalised costs may be impaired. 

Useful economic life of internally developed software platform 

Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date, based on the 
expected utility of the assets.  Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical obsolescence that may change 
the utility of software. During the year management determined that the useful life of the internally developed 
software remains unchanged from the prior year.  

Recognition of deferred tax assets  

The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised is based on an assessment of the probability of the 
Group’s future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilised. In addition, significant 
judgement is required in assessing the impact of any legal or economic limits or uncertainties in various tax 
jurisdictions. No deferred tax assets were recognized due to uncertainty of recoverability.

Fees earned for investment management services provided to the DomaCom Fund are calculated based on fixed 
percentages applied to the Funds Under Management. 

The Group recognised income of $50,000 for amounts received from the Australian Taxation Office from the 
COVID-19 Boosting Cash Flow for Employers program. 

In the prior year the Group claimed refundable tax credits for eligible research and development expenditure. The 
Group accounts for a claim partially as an offset against eligible capitalised R&D expenditure. Income recognised 
from research and development incentive represents the amount of the claim that does not meet the criteria for 
offset to the extent that it has been received for expenses that did not meet the capitalisation criteria under AASB 
138 Intangible Assets.

As set out in Note 2, the Group adopted IFRS 16 with effect from 1 July 2019. At transition there was one 
property lease for the Melbourne office with 1 month remaining for $11,142. The lease was subsequently 
renewed for a period of 12 months ending 31 July 2020. The Group has benefited from the use of hindsight for 
determining the lease term when considering the option to extend the lease and a right-of-use asset of $145,631 
was established for this lease at 1 July 2019 with a term of 13 months.  

With the exception of short-term leases and leases of low-value underlying assets, each lease is reflected on the 
balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. 

The Melbourne office lease is non-cancellable. The Group is prohibited from selling or pledging the underlying 
leased assets as security. The Group must keep the property in a good state of repair.

The Group has elected not to recognise a lease liability for short term leases (leases with an expected term of 12 
months or less) or for leases of low value assets. Payments made under such leases are expensed on a straight-
line basis. The expense relating to payments not included in the measurement of a lease liability is $46,432. 

At 30 June 2020 the Group was not committed to renewing the Melbourne office lease and did not have any short

The Director Long Term Incentive Plan and Employee Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) was established as a 
retention strategy and an incentive for staff and directors to continue to work hard for the DomaCom Group. 
Through obtaining equity, staff are motivated to strive to make the DomaCom Group successful as they will 
ultimately share in the success. 

All Directors and eligible employees were granted performance rights in the years ended 30 June 2015 and 30 
June 2018. No performance rights were issued during the year ended 30 June 2020.  

Vesting gives the holder of a Performance Right the right to convert some or all of their Performance Rights into 
ordinary shares.  Each Performance Right entitles its owner to one ordinary share in the Company on conversion. 
The performance rights issued in the year ended 30 June 2018 expire on 5th April 2021 and may be exercised at 
any time up to that date.  

The performance rights under the employee and non-executive director and executive director programs have an 
exercise price of $nil. 

Performance rights were granted as follows for the reporting periods presented:

NOTE 24: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) 

Liquidity risk analysis  

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group might be unable to meet its obligations.  The Group manages its liquidity 
needs by monitoring forecast cash inflows and outflows due in day-to-day business.  Net cash requirements are 
compared to available cash in order to maintain a cash surplus.  Funding for long-term liquidity needs sourced 
through additional capital raising. 

The Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities have contractual maturities (including interest payments where 
applicable) as summarised below:

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Group.  The Group’s maximum 
exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognised at the reporting date, as 
summarised in Note 7. 

The Group continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either by individual or 
group and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. The Group’s policy is to deal only with 
creditworthy counterparties. 

The Group’s management considers that all the above financial assets that are not impaired or past due for each 
of the reporting dates under review are of good credit quality. 

In respect of trade and other receivables, the Group is not exposed to any significant credit risk exposure to any 
single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics.  

The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable 
banks with high quality external credit ratings.  

Market risk analysis  

The Group is exposed to market risk through currency and interest rate risk. 

Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities which expose the Group to currency risk are 
disclosed below.  The amounts shown are those translated into $AUD at the closing rate:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 24: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) 

Market risk analysis (continued) 

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit and equity in regards to the Group’s financial assets and 
financial liabilities and the $SGD/$AUD exchange rate ‘all other things being equal’. It includes only outstanding 
foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the year end for a change in foreign 
currency rates. It assumes a +/- 10% change of the $SGD/$AUD exchange rate for the year ended at 30 June 
2020 (2019: 10%). 

If the $SGD had strengthened against the $AUD by 10% (2019: 10%) this would have had the following impact 
through a decrease in the Foreign Currency Translation Reserve:

For a 10% weakening of $SGD against $AUD there would be a comparable increase in the Foreign Currency 
Translation Reserve. 

Interest Rate Sensitivity 

The Company’s policy is to minimise interest rate risk exposures. Interest income is earned on deposits held. The 
rate is reviewed on a regular basis to ensure it remains in line with the expected rate of return. Interest expense 
incurred on any short term borrowings is assessed to ensure it is in line with market expectations. The Company’s 
policy is not to enter into any long term borrowing.  

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit and equity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates 
of +/- 1% (2019: +/- 1%).  These changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on observation of 
current market conditions.  The calculations are based on a change in the average market interest rate for each 
period, and the financial instruments held at each reporting date that are sensitive to changes in interest rates.  All 
other variables are held constant.

Independent Auditor’s Report 

To the Members of DomaCom Limited 

Report on the audit of the financial report 

Opinion 

Collins Square, Tower 5

Melbourne VIC 3008 

Correspondence to:

We have audited the financial report of DomaCom Limited (the Company) and its Controlled Entities (the Group), which 
comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss 
and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash 
flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant 
accounting policies, and the Directors’ declaration. 

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

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

ended on that date; and 

b  complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are 
further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are 
independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and 
the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for 
Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled 
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 

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

Material uncertainty related to going concern 

We draw attention to Note 3(q) in the financial statements, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of $5,778,671 
during the year ended 30 June 2020, and as of that date, the Group has effective net working capital of $850,299 and a net 
liability position of $276,366. As stated in Note 3(q), these events or conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that 
may cast doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. 

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 consolidated financial report as a 
whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the 
matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below 
to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Capitalisation of Software development costs (Note 10) 

The Group capitalises costs that are directly attributable to the 
development of intangibles assets in accordance with AASB 
138 Intangible Assets.  

AASB 138 provides that an entity may only capitalise costs 
that meet specific capitalisation criteria.  

This area is a key audit matter due to the inherent subjectivity 
required in determining whether the costs capitalised meet the 
requirements of AASB 138. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 













enquiring with management to obtain and document
an understanding of their process and the design of
controls relating to the capitalisation of software
development costs and their compliance with AASB
138;

evaluating the entity’s position that the underlying
assets is in the development phase, as well as the
entity’s ability to demonstrate technical feasibility,
that the asset will generate probable future economic
benefits, the ability to bring the asset to completion
for use or sale, amongst other requirements of AASB
138;

obtaining supporting model and on a sample basis,
agreeing internal salary costs and other costs
capitalised to supporting documentation;

assessing the eligibility of expenditure capitalised for
compliance with development recognition
requirements under AASB 138;

assessing the allocation of costs between separately
identifiable intangible assets; and

assessing the adequacy of the relevant disclosures in
the financial statements.

Intangible asset – Impairment (Note 3(f) and (r)) 

Given the nature of the industry in which the Group operates, 
there is a risk that there could be a material impairment to 
goodwill and intangible asset balances.  

AASB 136 Impairment of Assets requires that an entity shall 
assess at the end of each reporting period possible internal or 
external indicators of impairment. If any indication exists, the 
entity shall estimate the recoverable amount of the asset. 

This area is a key audit matter due to the inherent subjectivity 
required in measuring the recoverable amount. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 







obtaining from management a paper documenting
their assessment relating to the Group’s Cash
Generating Unit (“CGU”) and potential impairment
indicators;

evaluating management’s assessed carrying value of
the intangible asset calculated based on its expected
fair value less cost to sell; and

assessing the adequacy of the relevant disclosures in
the financial statements.

Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon 

The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the 
Group’s financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report 
thereon.  

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

58 

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

Responsibilities of the Directors for the financial report 

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

In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, 
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the 
Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.  

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report 

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

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance 
Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1_2020.pdf. This description forms part of 
our auditor’s report. 

Report on the remuneration report 

Opinion on the remuneration report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 10 to 13 of the Directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 
2020. 

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of DomaCom Limited, for the year ended 30 June 2020 complies with section 
300A of the Corporations Act 2001. 

Responsibilities 

The Directors of the Group are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance 
with section 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.
