a. Disposal of Australian underwriting business completes 2.5 years of restructuring
The financial year ended 30 June 2020 (FY20) was another highly active period for the business in which Ensurance
completed the sale of its Underwriting business and closed its Australian office. The Australian business is no longer
revenue generating, and a reduction in overheads and efficiencies have been realised from the disposal of non-core parts
of the business. Australian-based personnel have now been reduced to the Company’s Executive Chairman, part-time
Financial Controller, part-time Company Secretary, part-time Administrative Assistant; and two Non-Executive Directors.
This now concludes a significant restructuring of the business, which has spanned over 2.5 years, resulting in the
establishment of a fast-growing UK-based operation that is positioned to deliver long-term shareholder value.
b. Established UK operations continue strong upward growth trajectory
The Company’s UK operations performed strongly during the year, continuing to trade normally despite the global
uncertainty of the impact of COVID-19. Ensurance’s UK operations continued its upwards growth trajectory during FY20,
with the financial performance of the business exceeding initial forecast expectations.
Ensurance delivered strong growth in both gross written premiums and the rate of annual policy renewals in FY20,
following continued investment in the UK business. Gross written premiums for FY20 were £17m, up 143% on FY19
(FY19: £7m), with annual policy renewals achieving an 85%+ retention rate for the period. This strong result sets a base
of recurring revenue for FY21 and provides strong validation of the business’ product offering and customer satisfaction.
The UK business now boasts a renewable book over the next 12 months of £7.6m.
c. New products expand global reach and offering
Ensurance UK launched Terrorism and Sabotage insurance for the US and Australia, significantly expanding the
Company’s global reach and UK offering. The product provides cover for an act of terrorism or sabotage which results in
damage to buildings, profits, employees or customers and is available to a business of any size and across all industries.
Since its launch, it has been met with strong interest from the market. The Company will launch an IT platform during the
1st half of FY21 that will support the sale of this product and provide further improved internal operating efficiency.
d. Technology supports greater efficiency and supports business to scale
Over the past 12 months Ensurance UK has engaged with a new IT supplier to provide a fully integrated front office and
back office system, which is expected to provide major efficiencies across all departments. It will provide increased service
levels for our clients and support growth and profitability of the business. The new system is expected to go live in the
September 2020 quarter and the benefits to the business will be seen instantly.
e. Key departures follow restructuring
As a result of the restructuring activity completed during the financial year, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Mr
Arjan van Ameyde, and Head of Underwriting Australia, Mr Michael Huntley departed the business during the financial
year, reflecting the reduced demands of the streamlined business, with the sale of the Australian operations.
f. Well supported entitlement issue delivers significant funds during the period
The Company raised $2.86 million before costs via an entitlement issue to eligible shareholders in November 2019. The
issue was well supported by eligible shareholders, Blue Ocean Equities as Underwriter; and sub-underwriters.

For the year ended 30 June 2020, the Group delivered a loss of $2.15m after tax, representing an increase of $0.75m on
the prior year loss of $1.40m. The increase was due to losses in the Australian businesses, which have now been sold.
Revenue from the Group’s continuing operations increased to $3.796m (2019: $1.534m). Ensurance UK continues to
demonstrate strong growth; operating as an MGA in the UK to provide wholesale insurance for construction and
engineering in the UK and EU, as well as Terrorism and Sabotage across three continents. Fully authorised by the FCA,
Ensurance UK can sell insurance globally and develop an Appointed Representative Network.
b. Financial position
The net assets of the Group have improved from 30 June 2019 by $1.230m to a net deficiency of $1.064m at 30 June
2020 (2019: Net deficiency of $2.294m).

As at 30 June 2020, the Group's cash and cash equivalents decreased from 30 June 2019 by $1.258m to $1.276m at 30
June 2020 (2019: $2.534m) and had working capital of $(2.243)m (2019: $2.102m).
Events Subsequent to Reporting Date
There are no significant after balance date events that are not covered in this Directors' Report or within the financial
statements at Note 35 - Events subsequent to reporting date.
Future 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 Regulations
The Group's operations are not subject to significant environmental regulations in the jurisdictions it operates in, namely
Australia and the United Kingdom.

Directors' Report
30 June 2020
Non-audit services
During the year the Company’s auditor, Mazars Risk and Assurance Pty Limited (Mazars), did not provide any taxation
compliance advice & assistance (2019: nil). Details of remuneration paid to the auditor can be found within the financial
statements at Note 28 - Auditor's Remuneration.
The Board has established certain procedures to ensure that the provision of non-audit services are compatible with, and
do not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). These procedures
include:
∙ non-audit services will be subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Company and will be reviewed
by the Board to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
∙ ensuring non-audit services do not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or
decision making capacity for the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards.
The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the year by the auditor (or by another person or
firm on the auditor’s behalf) is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the
Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
Proceedings on behalf of company
No person has applied for leave of Court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company or intervene in any proceedings
to which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or any part of
those proceedings.
The Company was not a party to any such proceedings during the year.

The information in this remuneration report has been audited as required by s308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001.

2. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
The remuneration policy of the Company has been designed to ensure reward for performance is competitive and
appropriate to the result delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the creation of value for shareholders,
and conforms to market best practice. The Board ensures that Director and executive reward satisfies the following key
criteria for good reward governance practices:
∙ Competitiveness and reasonableness;
∙ Acceptability to the shareholders;
∙ Performance;
∙ Transparency; and
∙ Capital management
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase the direct positive relationship between shareholders' investment
objectives and Directors' and Executives' performance. Currently, this is facilitated through the issue of options to most
Directors and Executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Company believes this
policy will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth. The Board's policy for determining the nature and amount of
remuneration for Board members and Senior Executives of the Company is as follows:
a. Executive Directors and other Senior Executives
Executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), retirement benefits,
options and performance incentives. The Board reviews Executive packages annually by reference to the Company's
performance, Executive performance, and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in
similar industries. Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangement.
b. Non-Executive Directors
The Company's Constitution provides that Directors are entitled to be remunerated for their services as follows:
∙ The total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid to the Directors (excluding salaries of executive Directors) from
time to time will not exceed the sum determined by the Shareholders in general meeting and the total aggregate fixed
sum will be divided between the Directors as the Directors shall determine and, in default of agreement between them,
then in equal shares.
∙ The Directors' remuneration accrues from day to day.
∙ The total aggregate fixed sum per annum which may be paid to non-executive Directors is $250,000. This amount cannot
be increased without the approval of the Company's Shareholders.

2. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (continued)
b. Non-Executive Directors (continued)
The Directors are entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, accommodation and other expenses incurred by them
respectively in or about the performance of their duties as Directors.
c. Fixed Remuneration
Other than statutory superannuation contributions, no retirement benefits are provided for Executive and Non-Executive
Directors of the Company. To align Directors' interests with shareholder interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold
shares in the company.
d. Performance Based Remuneration – Short-term and long-term incentive structure
The Board will review short-term and long-term incentive structures from time to time. Any incentive structure will be
aligned with shareholders' interests.
∙ Short-term incentives
No short-term incentives were granted during the year.
∙ Long-term incentives
The Board has a policy of granting incentive options to executives with exercise prices above market share price. As
such, incentive options granted to executives will generally only be of benefit if the executives perform to the level
whereby the value of the Group increases sufficiently to warrant exercising the incentive options granted.
The Directors of the Company are eligible to participate in the “Ensurance Limited Employee Incentive Option Plan”.
e. Service Contracts
Remuneration and other terms of employment for the Directors, KMP and the company secretary are formalised in
contracts of employment.
f. Engagement of Remuneration Consultants
During the financial year, the Company did not engage any remuneration consultants.
g. Relationship between Remuneration of KMP and Earnings
The Board does not consider earnings in determining the nature and amount of remuneration of KMP.

These are the consolidated financial statements and notes of Ensurance Limited ('Ensurance' or the 'Company') and
controlled entities (collectively the 'Group'). Ensurance is a company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in
Australia.
The separate financial statements of Ensurance, as the parent entity, have not been presented with this financial
report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
The functional and presentation currency of ENSURANCE LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES is Australian
dollars.
The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on ____________ 2020.
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the Group. For the purposes of preparing
the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity. Material accounting policies adopted in the
preparation of these financial statements are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise
stated.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs
modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and
financial liabilities. Historical cost is generally based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for
goods and services.
(i) Statement of compliance
These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AAS Board) and
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB), and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) set out accounting policies that the AAS Board has concluded would result
in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which
they apply. Compliance with AASBs ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with IFRS as issued
by the IASB.
(ii) Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal
business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Group incurred a net loss for the year of $2,153,771 (2019: $1,401,735). As at 30 June 2020, the Group had
negative working capital of $2,243,428 (2019: $2,102,369), and net liabilities of $1,064,195 (2019: $2,293,658) which
includes related party loans of $2,500,000 and convertible notes of $2,188,335 due for repayment on 19th June 2021
and 30th June 2021 respectively. The Group has had recurring operating losses as a result of the delivery of new
products and cashflow generating business units in accordance with the Group’s strategic goals.
Based on a cashflow forecast, the Group has sufficient working capital to fund its mandatory obligations for the period
ending 12 months from the date of this report. The Group is exploring various capital raising strategies and the Group
has also received confirmation of continued and ongoing financial support from one of its major shareholders. This
continued financial support will enable the Group to meet its current obligations as and when they fall due.

Basis of Preparation (continued)
Ultimately the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the continued unconditional
financial support provided by a major shareholder of Ensurance Limited, which was provided in writing on 18 August
2020. On this basis, it is the Directors belief that the Group is able to pay its debts as and when they fall due and will
have adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Directors consider the
going concern basis of preparation to be appropriate.
(iii) Reverse acquisition
Ensurance Ltd is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. The Company completed the legal acquisition of
Ensurance Capital Pty Ltd (Ensurance Capital) on 5 May 2015.
Ensurance Capital (the legal subsidiary) was deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes as it has obtained
control over the operations of the legal acquirer Ensurance (accounting subsidiary). Notwithstanding, as Ensurance
Ltd is the listed entity and the ultimate holding company of the Ensurance Group of companies, the financial
statements have been referred to as the financial statements of Ensurance Ltd.
(iv) Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and
expenses. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various factors that
are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements
about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
Judgements made by management in the application of AASBs that have significant effect on the consolidated
financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in Note
3.
(v) Comparative figures
Where required by AASBs comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the
current financial year.
Where the Group retrospectively applies an accounting policy, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items
in its financial statements, an additional (third) statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding
period in addition to the minimum comparative financial statements is presented.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)
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 33.
(b)
Principles of consolidation
As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the
consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended. Where controlled entities
have entered (left) the Consolidated Group during the year, their operating results have been included
(excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased).
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the
consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to align them with the policies
adopted by the Group. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the
non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.
A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 29 Interests in Subsidiaries of the financial statements.
(ii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation
All intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group
transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
(c)
Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn
revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the
Group's other components. All operating segments' results are regularly reviewed by the Group's Managing
Director to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and
for which discrete financial information is available.

The functional currency of each of the Group's entities is measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in
Australian dollars which is the parent entity's functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the
date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-
monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the
transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair
values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the profit or loss except
where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other
comprehensive income to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in other comprehensive
income, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the profit or loss.
(iii) Group companies and foreign operations
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group's
presentation currency are translated as follows:
assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group's foreign
currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the
profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed.
(e)
Revenue and other income
Interest revenue is recognised in accordance with Note 2 (j) (ix) Finance income and expenses.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(e)
Revenue and other income (continued)
Revenue is recognised when the Group has satisfied its performance obligations, which occurs when control of
the goods or services are transferred to the customer. This is deemed to be the policy inception date. An
invoice and policy documents are created at the date of inception, which specify each party’s rights and
obligations, the price of the policy, the payment terms and the level of coverage. The insured party assumes
full control at the date of inception and cover is enforceable as at that date, regardless of when payment is
received. When the performance obligation has been satisfied, the Group will recognise as revenue the
amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the performance obligation, after excluding any estimates of
variable consideration that are constrained in respect of settlement activities. See Note 5 for further
information.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of GST/VAT (Note 2 (f) (iii) Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Value
Added Tax (VAT)).
(f)
Taxation
(i) Income tax
The income tax expense/(benefit) for the year comprises current income tax expense/(benefit) and deferred tax
expense/(benefit). Gains and losses on discontinued operations are aggregated with the results of continuing
operations for the purposes of income taxes up to the point where the operation no longer forms a legal part of
the consolidated tax group.
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using
applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities
(assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation
authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances
during the year as well as unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (benefit) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax
relates to items recognised outside profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also
result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income
tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination,
where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(f)
Taxation (continued)
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when
the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting
date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the
carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent
that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset
can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint
ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the
temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable
future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended
that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax
assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable
entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and
settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of
deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
Where the Group receives the Australian Government's Research and Development Tax Incentive, the Group
accounts for the refundable tax offset under AASB 112. Funds are received as a rebate through the parent
company's income tax return and disclosed as such in Note 7 Income Tax.
(ii) Tax consolidation
The Board of Ensurance Ltd has entered into the Tax Consolidation Regime from 1 July 2015. This will include
the preparation and signing of a Tax Sharing and Funding Agreement. Ensurance Limited is the head entity in
the newly formed tax consolidated group. As a consequence, the entities are taxed as a single entity and the
deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements.
Under the tax funding agreement, the members of the Group are required to contribute to the head entity for
their current tax liabilities. The assets and liabilities arising under the tax funding agreements are recognised
as intercompany assets and liabilities at call. Members of the tax consolidated group via the tax sharing
agreement may be called to provide for the income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity
default on its tax payment obligations. No amount has been recognised in respect of this component of the
agreement as the outcome is considered remote.

Taxation (continued)
(iii) Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Value Added Tax (VAT)
Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST/VAT, except where the amount of
GST/VAT incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances the GST/VAT 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/VAT.
The net amount of GST/VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office in Australia or HM
Revenue & Customs in the UK is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST/VAT component
of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(g)
Leases
The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases
and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-
use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
(i) Right-of-use assets
The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying
asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of- use assets
includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or
before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a
straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
• Property and equipment: 1 year
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the
exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.
The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in section (l)
Impairment of non-financial assets.

Leases (continued)
(ii) Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value
of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-
substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an
index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also
include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and
payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to
terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses
(unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the
payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease
commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the
commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced
for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a
modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments
resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the
assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
(iii) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and
equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and
do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases
of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of
low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(h)
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.
(i)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments which are

A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets are derecognised if the Group's contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets
expire or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all
risks and rewards of the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group's obligations specified on the
contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.
AASB 9 contains three principal classification categories: Measured at amortised cost, Fair Value through
Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI) and Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVPL). This is based on the
concept that financial assets should be classified and measured at fair value, with changes in fair value
recognised in profit or loss as they arise (FVPL), unless restrictive criteria are met for classifying and
measuring the asset at either amortised cost or FVOCI. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially
measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial
assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate,
on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
(ii) Non-derivative financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in equity securities, trade and other receivables,
cash and cash equivalents and trade and other payables.
Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value
through profit or loss, any directly attributable transactions costs. The Group has elected to account for listed
shares using FVOCI. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as
described below.
(iii) Classification and subsequent measurement
(1) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and cash at bank.
For the statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents comprises the above.
(2) Loans
Loans are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active
market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Loans are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after
the end of the reporting period.

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.
(4) 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.
(5) Share capital
Ordinary issued capital is recorded at the consideration received. Incremental costs directly attributable to the
issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any related
income tax benefit. Ordinary issued capital bears no special terms or conditions affecting income or capital
entitlements of the shareholders.
(iv) Amortised cost
Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at
initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative
amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the
effective interest method.
(v) Fair value
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are
applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm's length transactions,
reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.
(vi) Effective interest method
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period
and is equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees,
transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) over the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably
predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or
financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying
amount with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss.

For Trade and other receivables, the Group has elected to measure the cancellation provision based on the
expected value by looking at the previous year’s cancellations and negative endorsements as a percentage of
the overall premiums sold. As such, the Group has assessed the historical credit loss experience and applied it
to the current balance to establish the basis of the cancellation provision. Other financial assets are assessed
at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence of impairment. A financial asset is
considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect
on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference
between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the
original effective interest rate.
Financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis.
All impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.
An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the
impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost the reversal is recognised in
the income statement.
(viii) Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to cash flow expires or the asset is transferred
to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and
benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either
discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability
extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of
non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
(ix) Finance income and expenses
Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested (including available-for-sale financial assets),
gains on the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets and changes in the fair value of financial assets at
fair value through profit or loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective
interest method.
Financial expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings calculated using the effective interest method,
unwinding of discounts on provisions, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or
loss and impairment losses recognised on financial assets. All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss
using the effective interest method.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily
take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those
assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing
costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred.
Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.

Items of plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and carried at cost less accumulated
depreciation (see below) and impairment losses (see Note 2 (l) Impairment of non-financial assets).
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-
constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to
bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the
items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of
the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected
net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net
cash flows have not been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
Where parts of an item of plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate
items of plant and equipment.
(ii) Depreciation
Depreciation is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the asset's useful life to the
consolidated group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are
depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the
improvements.
Depreciation rates and methods are reviewed annually for appropriateness. The depreciation rates used for
each class of depreciable asset are shown below:
Fixed asset class
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
Plant and equipment
Depreciation rate
11.25% - 37.50%
25.00% - 37.50%
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each
reporting period. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the
asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposal of an item of plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds
from disposal with the carrying amount of plant and equipment and are recognised net within “other income” in
profit or loss.
(l)
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.

Impairment of non-financial assets (continued)
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.
(m)
Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction
costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The component of the convertible notes that exhibits characteristics of a liability is recognised as a liability in
the statement of financial position, net of transaction costs.
On the issue of the convertible notes the fair value of the liability component is determined using a market rate
for an equivalent non-convertible bond and this amount is carried as a non-current liability on the amortised
cost basis until extinguished on conversion or redemption. The increase in the liability due to the passage of
time is recognised as a finance cost. The remainder of the proceeds are allocated to the conversion option that
is recognised and included in shareholders equity as a convertible note reserve, net of transaction costs. The
carrying amount of the conversion option is not remeasured in the subsequent years. The corresponding
interest on convertible notes is expensed to profit or loss.
(n)
Employee benefits
(i) Short-term 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.
(ii) Other long-term 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 corporate bonds with
terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Employee benefits (continued)
(iii) Retirement benefit obligations: Defined contribution superannuation funds
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions
onto a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for
contributions to defined contribution superannuation funds are recognised as an expense in the income
statement as incurred.
(iv) Termination benefits
When applicable, the Group recognises a liability and expense for termination benefits at the earlier of: (a) the
date when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer for termination benefits; and (b) when the Group
recognises costs for restructuring pursuant to AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent
Assets and the costs include termination benefits. In either case, unless the number of employees affected is
known, the obligation for termination benefits is measured on the basis of the number of employees expected
to be affected. Termination benefits that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the annual
reporting period in which the benefits are recognised are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to
be paid. All other termination benefits are accounted for on the same basis as other long-term employee
benefits.
(v) Equity-settled compensation
The Group operates an employee share option plan.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in
exchange for the rendering of services.
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 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.
All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss.
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.

Employee benefits (continued)
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.
(o)
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for
which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will results and that outflow can be reliably measured.
Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current
market assessments of the time value of money and, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of the Group, 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.
(ii) 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.

Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of the consolidated entity that has been disposed of or is classified
as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is
part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary
acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately on
the face of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
(t)
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.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that
reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each
reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of
input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal
expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected
based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or
liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs
applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.
(u)
Government grants
Government assistance is recognised in accordance with AASB 120. Where the grant income relates to an
expense item, it is recognised as a reduction of the expense to which it relates.

Changes in accounting policies, disclosures, standards and interpretations
New and amended standards and interpretations
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial years except the following
which the Group adopted from 1 July 2019:
AASB 16 Leases
The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases'
and for lessees eliminates the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Except for short-term
leases and leases of low-value assets, right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities are recognised in
the statement of financial position. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition is replaced with a
depreciation charge for the right-of-use assets (included in depreciation and amortisation costs) and an
interest expense on the recognised lease liabilities (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the
lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses
under AASB 117. However, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results
improve as the operating expense is now replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss. For
classification within the statement of cash flows, the interest portion is disclosed in operating activities and the
principal portion of the lease payments are separately disclosed in financing activities. For lessor accounting,
the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The impact on the financial
performance and position of the consolidated entity from the adoption of this Accounting Standard is detailed
in Note 16.
Accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective
Certain Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations have recently been issued or amended but are
not yet effective and have not been adopted by the Group for the annual reporting year ended 30 June 2020
The directors have not early adopted any of these new amended standards and interpretations. The directors
are in the process of assessing the impact of the applications of the standard and its amendment to the extent
relevant to the financial statement of the Group.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The directors make estimates and judgements during the preparation of these consolidated financial statements
regarding assumptions about current and future events affecting transactions and balances.
These estimates and judgements are based on the best information available at the time of preparing the financial
statements, however as additional information is known then the actual results may differ from the estimates.
The significant estimates and judgements made have been described below.
Key estimates - Impairment
(1) Legal Parent Financial Assets related to Subsidiaries
At the end of each financial year, an assessment is made on whether there are indicators that the Company’s
investments in subsidiaries and loans to subsidiaries are impaired. Where necessary, the Company’s assessments
are based on the estimation of the value-in-use of the assets defined in AASB 136 Impairment of Assets by
forecasting the expected future cash flows for a period of up to 5 years, using a suitable discount rate in order to
calculate the present value of those cash flows. The Company’s carrying amount of investments in subsidiaries as at
30 June 2020 was $1,566,578 (2019: $669,754), and loans $nil (2019: $2,361) after an impairment loss of
$2,448,385 was recognised in 2020 (2019: $231,465). The impairment losses have been included in the parent
Company’s results for the year. Details of the impairment loss calculation are set out in Note 33.
In determining whether an impairment exists, management assumes that a subsidiary will only be able to repay its
loans to the extent it has positive net assets. It is also assumed that the Company’s legal subsidiaries have no
realisable value as standalone entities and so the shares it owns in them must be fully impaired. It is assumed that
loans with each subsidiary are interchangeable and so the extent of any impairment on loans is limited to the amount
of the net deficiency of the sub-group.
(2) Intangible Assets
The Company assesses impairment of intangible assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to
the Company and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable
amount of the asset is determined. The Company used the income approach in determining the fair value which
reflects the current market expectations about future amounts that will be generated by the intangible assets. This
involves employing present value techniques that are dependent on the circumstances specific to the intangible asset
and the availability of sufficient data.
Key estimates - Revenue
The Group’s Trade and other receivables recognise an allowance for expected credit loss upon initial recognition of
the financial instrument as a cancellation provision. The Group has elected to measure the cancellation provision
based on the expected value by looking at the previous year’s cancellations and negative endorsements as a
percentage of the overall premiums sold. As such, the Group has assessed the historical credit loss experience and
applied it to the current balance to establish the basis of the cancellation provision. This makes the assumption that
the rate of cancellation and negative endorsement will be materially the same as in the previous year and this is
assessed annually.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements (continued)
Key estimates - Intangible assets and amortisation
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.
Intangible Assets, arising from software development costs, are initially recognised as an asset when it is expected
that material future economic benefits will be derived from such expenditure. The estimated future economic benefits
are used to determine the recoverable amount of this asset, however, where the timing and value of these future
economic benefits cannot be determined with reasonable accuracy, the carrying amount is written down to the
recoverable amount through an impairment charge to the profit & loss account.
Key estimate - Taxation
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto, related to taxation, are based on the best
estimates of directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the company
as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has
been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents the directors' best
estimate, pending an assessment by tax authorities in relevant jurisdictions. Refer Note 7 Income Tax.
Key Estimate - Convertible notes and Valuation of options
Convertible notes are a debt instrument that may be converted to equity at a later date and thus a portion of the note
has its derivative in equity. The Company has chosen to estimate the value of the equity derivative by applying a
discount rate of 3% per quarter over the period of the note. The present value of the principal and interest payable
over the term of the note represent the liability component, with the balance representing equity.
During the financial year, the Company issued options for unissued shares in the Company (refer to Note 21c). These
options were valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model, taking the stock price on the date of issue, the interest
rate as the RBA 3-year risk free bond rate and volatility of the Company’s share price over the preceding three
months of trading.
Management judgment - Discontinued operations
An operation is classified as discontinued when a decision is made by management to dispose of an operating
segment of the business. The sale of Ensurance Underwriting Pty Limited completed on 1 March 2020, it therefore
met the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation in the financial year and the results of this entity are
disclosed separately in this document from the continuing operations of the business.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements (continued)
Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options
The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by
an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to
terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
The Group has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Group applies judgement
in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease.
That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or
termination. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or
change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to
renew or to terminate (e.g., construction of significant leasehold improvements or significant customisation to the
leased asset).
Incremental borrowing rate
Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to
discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date.
Such a rate is based on what the company estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary
to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or
may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the
products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated
entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant
impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may
impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic.
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. Refer to Note 21 for further information.
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, historical collection
rates, the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and forward-looking information that is available. The
allowance for expected credit losses is calculated based on the information available at the time of preparation. The
actual credit losses in future years may be higher or lower.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements (continued)
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.
Employee benefits provision
As discussed in Note 2, 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.
Operating Segments
a. Identification of reportable segments
The Group operates predominantly in the insurance industry. This comprises sale of insurance products &
underwriting, and development of industry information technology. Inter-segment transactions are priced at cost to
the Group.
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are provided to the Board of
Directors (the Board) on a monthly basis and in determining the allocation of resources. Management has identified
four reportable segments: insurance (both in Australia and the UK), information technology and corporate overheads.
b. Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments
(i) Accounting policies adopted
Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board, being the chief decision maker with respect to operating
segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual
financial statements of the Group.
(ii) Inter-segment transactions
An internally determined transfer price is set for all inter-segment sales. This price is based on what would be realised
in the event the sale was made to an external party at arm's length. All such transactions are eliminated on
consolidation of the Group's financial statements.
Inter-segment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received/to be received net of
transaction costs. If inter-segment loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted
to fair value based on market interest rates. This policy represents a departure from that applied to the statutory
financial statements.

b. Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments (continued)
(iii) Segment assets
Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to that segment that receives majority
economic value from that asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of
their nature and physical location.
(iv) Segment liabilities
Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is a direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the
operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole
and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables and certain direct borrowings.
(v) Unallocated items
The following items of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as they are
not considered part of the core operations of any segment:
Depreciation and amortisation
Gains or losses on sales of financial and non-financial assets
Investment income
c. Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments
The Group operates in two geographical areas being Australia and the United Kingdom. Segment results are reported
under the Australian regulatory body’s accounting standards.

Potential deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses have not been brought to account at 30 June 2020 because
the directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the deferred tax assets as probable at this point in
time. These benefits will only be obtained if:
i. the Group derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the
deductions for the loss to be realised;
ii. the Company continues to comply with conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and
iii. no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the benefit from the deductions for the loss.

Income Tax Expense (continued)
(h) Tax consolidation
The Board of Ensurance Ltd has entered into the Tax Consolidation Regime from 1 July 2015. This includes the
preparation and signing of a Tax Sharing and Funding Agreement. Ensurance Limited is the head entity in the newly
formed tax consolidated group. As a consequence, the entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax
assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements. Under the tax funding
agreement, the members of the Group are required to contribute to the head entity for their current tax liabilities. The
assets and liabilities arising under the tax funding agreements are recognised as intercompany assets and liabilities
at call. Members of the tax consolidated group via the tax sharing agreement may be called to provide for the income
tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. No amount has been
recognised in respect of this component of the agreement as the outcome is considered remote.

The Group has adopted AASB 16 with effect from 1 July 2019 but has not restated comparatives for the 2019
reporting period, as permitted under the specific transitional provisions in the standard. The entity leases the
premises housing its principle places of business in Sydney, Melbourne and London. Until the 2019 financial year,
such leases were classified as operating leases with payments being charged to the profit and loss. From 1 July
2019, in line with AASB 16, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at
which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and
finance cost. The right-of- use asset is amortised over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules have been recognised in the opening
balance sheet on 1 July 2019.
a. Recognition of right-of-use assets amounting to $1,335,647, less accumulated amortisation of $469,036
b. Recognition of a lease liability of $950,992
Lease liabilities have been measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using 8%,
the rate at which the company pays interest on its convertible notes.
The Group has elected to adopt a modified retrospective application of the standard as permitted by AASB 16.

The loan with discontinued operation in the prior period represents an intercompany loan balance owing from
Ensurance Limited to its subsidiary, Savill Hicks Corp Pty Ltd. Normally eliminated on consolidation, with the
operations of Savill Hicks Corp Pty Ltd discontinued, the balance was restated as a liability owing from Ensurance
Limited. The balance owing to Savill Hicks Corp Pty Ltd was settled on completion of the sale.

(i) A $3m convertible note was issued by the Company on 11 July 2016 at an issue price of $0.22 per note. Each note
entitles the holder to convert to one ordinary share. Conversion may occur at any time for a period of three years from
the subscription date. If the notes have not been converted, they will be redeemed at this point. Interest of 8% will be
paid quarterly up until that settlement date. On 12 November 2018, $0.5m of the notes were cancelled, forming part
of the consideration for the sale of Savill Hicks Corp Pty Ltd.
The conversion price of the note reduces in line with the issue price of any capital raising conducted during the life of
the note. At the balance date, the conversion price was 4 cents and as such a further 62,500,000 shares stood to be
issued.

Convertible notes are due to expire on the 30 June 2021. The holders have one option to acquire fully paid ordinary
shares in the Company for every four shares into which their convertible notes would convert.
The net proceeds received from the issue of the convertible notes have been split between the financial liability
element and an equity component, representing the residual attributable to the option to convert the financial liability
into equity of the Company. The equity derivative has been credited to equity (option premium on convertible notes).
The liability component is measured at amortised cost. The interest component is measured at amortised cost. The
interest expense is calculated by applying an effective interest rate of 12.57% for the period since the loan notes were
issued.

Description of provisions
Provision for employee benefits represents amounts accrued for annual leave and long service leave.
The current portion for this provision includes the total amount accrued for annual leave entitlements and the
amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have vested due to employees having completed the
required period of service. Based on past experience, the Group does not expect the full amount of annual leave or
long service leave balances classified as current liabilities to be settled within the next 12 months. However, these
amounts must be classified as current liabilities since the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer the
settlement of these amounts in the event employees wish to use their leave entitlement.
The non-current portion for this provision includes amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have not
yet vested in relation to those employees who have not yet completed the required period of service.

the Group in respect of operations and overheads. The Group's strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is
maintained to meet forecast operating requirements, with a view to initiating capital raisings as required.
The company has ongoing support from Tony Leibowitz to allow it to continue as a going concern for the next 18

(i) On 30 November 2015, 6,500,000 Performance Rights Class A (Class A Rights) were granted to Directors of the
Company. Upon the Company achieving the target share price of $0.80, based on a 30-day volume weighted average
share price, within 5 years, the Class A Rights will vest, entitling the holder or his nominee to 1 fully paid ordinary
share in the Company per vested Class A Right. The Class A Rights hold no voting or dividend rights and are not
transferable. At balance date, no Class A Right has converted, 5,500,000 had been forfeited and 1,000,000 Class A
Rights remain.
(ii) On 30 November 2015, 500,000 Performance Rights Class B (Class B Rights) were granted to Mr Adam Davey.
Class B Rights will vest on the introduction to, and entry into an agreement with, a strategic partner to the Company
which results directly or indirectly in a material increase in the Company's revenue or otherwise increases the value of
the Company, at the discretion of the Board of the Company. The Class B Rights hold no voting or dividend rights
and are not transferable. At balance date, no Class B Right has converted or been forfeited and 500,000 Class B
Rights remain.

b. Specific financial risk exposures and management
The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk
consisting of interest rate, foreign currency risk and equity price risk.
The Board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management
framework. The Board adopts practices designed to identify significant areas of business risk and to effectively
manage those risks in accordance with the Group's risk profile. This includes assessing, monitoring and managing
risks for the Group and setting appropriate risk limits and controls.
(i) Credit risk
Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of
contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group.
The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under
financial instruments entered into by the Group.
The objective of the Group is to minimise the risk of loss from credit risk. Although revenue from operations is
minimal, the Group trades only with creditworthy third parties.
In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group's exposure to bad
debts is insignificant. The Group's maximum credit risk exposure is limited to the carrying value of its financial assets
as indicated on the statement of financial position.
The Group establishes that no allowance for impairment is necessary in respect of trade and other receivables.
Credit risk exposures
The maximum exposure to credit risk is that to its alliance partners and that is limited to the carrying amount, net of
any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the
financial statements.
Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the Group in accordance with
approved Board policy. Such policy requires that surplus funds are only invested with financial institutions residing in
Australia, wherever possible.
Impairment losses
The ageing of the Group's trade and other receivables at reporting date was as follows (standard terms of trade are
90 days in the UK and 30 days in Australia):

(ii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise
meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities.
The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient
cash and marketable securities are available to meet the current and future commitments of the Group.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's
approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its
liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking
damage to the Group's reputation.
Typically the Group ensures that it has sufficient cash to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 60 days,
including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that
cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters.
In addition, the Group's AFS Licensees are subject to the conditions of their AFS License. Accordingly, in meeting the
cash needs requirement, the Group prepares cash flow projections to demonstrate the Licensees will have sufficient
cash under the terms of their license.
All trade and other payables are non-interest bearing and due within 30 days of the reporting date.

Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices
will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk
management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the
return.
The Board meets on a regular basis and considers the Group's interest rate risk.
(1) Interest rate risk
Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting
period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial
instruments. The Group is also exposed to earnings volatility on floating rate instruments.
Due to the low amount of debt exposed to floating interest rates, interest rate risk is not considered a high risk to the
Group. Movement in interest rates on the Group's financial liabilities and assets is not material.
(2) Foreign exchange risk
Exposure to foreign exchange risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating
due to movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the Group holds financial instruments which are
other than the AUD functional currency of the Group.
The Group has no material exposure to foreign exchange risk on its financial instruments.
(3) 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 Group does not presently hold material amounts subject to price risk. As such the
Board considers price risk as a low risk to the Group.
Sensitivity Analyses
(1)Foreign exchange
The company undertakes certain transactions denominated in GBP 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.
Balance sheet risks have been managed by centralising the contracts and expenses of our UK subsidiary in their
home currency. The risk to the parent company is the market movement in foreign exchange rates over the year on
translation of its subsidiary. With a weaker exchange rate the profit / (loss) of the UK business will be increased.
Net Fair Values
(1) Fair value estimation
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the table in Note 26 (a) and can be
compared to their carrying values as presented in the statement of financial position. Fair values are those amounts
at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length
transaction.

(i) Guarantees entered into by Ensurance Limited for the debts of its subsidiaries
The Board of Ensurance Ltd has declared in writing that it will support the liabilities of its subsidiaries (the
companies) and will continue to financially support the companies while they remain wholly owned under the control
of Ensurance Ltd.
(ii) Impairment of investments and loans to subsidiaries
The Board of Ensurance Ltd has undertaken an impairment assessment of the parent entity's investment in
Ensurance Capital of $7,525,195, its investment in Ensurance UK Ltd of $7,374,414 and loans to subsidiaries of

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ENSURANCE
LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES
Report on the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Ensurance Limited and its controlled
entities (the “Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30
June 2020 and consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income,
consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the
year ended on that date, other selected explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration as set
out on pages 17 to 75.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the
Corporations Act 2001, including:
(i)
(ii)
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
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations
2001.
Basis of Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities
under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the
auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of
the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in
Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has
been given to the directors of the Group, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as
at the time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1.ii in the financial report, which indicates that the Group incurred a net
loss of $2,153,771 during the year ended 30 June 2020 (2019: $1,401,735 loss). As at 30 June
2020, the Group’s statement of financial position reflected negative working capital of $2,243,428
(2019: positive working capital $2,102,369) and net liabilities of $1,064,195 (2019: $2,293,658)

which includes related party loans of $2,500,000 and convertible notes of $2,188,335 due for
repayment on 19th June 2021 and 30 June 2021 respectively.
The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern and pay their debts as and when they fall
due is dependent upon the continued and ongoing unconditional financial support of a major
shareholder.
Should the ongoing financial support cease, then a material uncertainty exists which may cast
significant doubt as to the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the Group
may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business
and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
Key Audit Matters
The key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement 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

Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include
the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we will 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 identified above when it becomes available 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
the other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Group are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations
Act 2001. The directors’ responsibility also includes such internal control as the directors
determine is necessary to enable the preparation of a financial report that gives a true and fair
view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the
Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole
is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error
and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected
to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the 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, designs and performs audit procedures responsive to those risks, and
obtains audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for the auditor’s
opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher

than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the director’s use of the going concern basis of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty
exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability
to continue as a going concern. If the auditor concludes that a material uncertainty exists,
we are required to draw attention in the 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 the auditor’s report.
However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going
concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including
the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions
and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence regarding the financial information of the
entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report.
We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We
remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal
control that the auditor identifies during the 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 audit report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extreme 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 of such communication.

(b) The Company’s Corporate Governance Plan requires the Board to
disclosure whether or not performance evaluations were conducted
during the relevant reporting period.
Due to the size of the Board and the nature of the business, it has not been
deemed necessary to institute a formal documented performance review
program of individuals. However, the Chairman intends to conduct formal
reviews each financial year whereby the performance of the Board as a
whole and the individual contributions of each director are reviewed. The
Board considers that at this stage of the Company’s development an
informal process is appropriate.
The review will assist to indicate if the Board’s performance is appropriate
and efficient with respect to the Board Charter.
