This systematic market neutral strategy seeks to achieve consistent, steady returns with low volatility in all types of markets. With return expectations for most markets decreasing and under significant pressure we believe this defensive strategy will become increasingly attractive in the next few years. SUMMARY Euroz Limited now employs 104 staff across our many businesses as we continue to pursue our very deliberate and incremental diversification strategy. To achieve our aim of building real diversification into our overall business we are cognisant that we need to significantly grow our wealth management FUM and also grow meaningful FUM in our Prodigy business. All of our businesses are facing continued industry consolidation and structural change, some of which we have foreseen and some continue to surprise. We must remain vigilant and open minded to these changes and provide expertise and capital as required. Euroz Limited has now paid $222 million in fully franked dividends to shareholders across our 19-year history. I would once again like to sincerely thank our staff for their significant efforts and who as our largest shareholders remain committed to growing this proudly Western Australian diversified financial services company. across our 18 year history. Andrew McKenzie Executive Chairman EUROZ LIMITED REPORTED A BREAK EVEN RESULT FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019. HEADLINE PROFITABILITY HAS BEEN NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY THE MARK-TO-MARKET OF OUR VARIOUS INVESTMENTS. In comparison to last year’s excellent result we would categorise this year’s underlying profitability as a reasonable result in somewhat challenging markets. Underlying “cash” profits of approximately $9.5 million were offset by -$9.6 million “non-cash” after tax losses from the mark-to-market of investments resulting in a $107,685 net loss after tax attributable to members. Our underlying cash profitability enabled your Directors to declare and pay a final fully franked dividend of 5 cents per share (cps) which combined with the interim dividend of 1.75 cps brings the full year dividend to 6.75 cps (previous year 11 cps). Funds Under Management (FUM) growth was driven by Euroz Securities and Entrust Wealth Management (Entrust) resulting in Group FUM increasing by 8% to $1.58 billion from $1.46 billion last year. We provide specific business updates as follows: EUROZ SECURITIES After two very good years our securities business has experienced a modestly profitable year with brokerage revenues down approximately 10% on the previous year and Equity Capital Market (ECM) raisings of $469 million versus $837 million in the prior period. FUM growth in our private client business continues to make progress and was up 19% to $357 million. ENTRUST WEALTH MANAGEMENT Entrust reported a pleasing improvement in FUM of 10% and a modest increase in profitability versus the previous year. Post the Hayne Royal Commission Entrust has seen a recent increase in potential smaller acquisitions and more realistic price expectations from sellers. WESTOZ FUNDS MANAGEMENT After two years of excellent investment performance Westoz Investment Company Limited (Westoz) and Ozgrowth Limited (Ozgrowth) have experienced a year of consolidation. Their respective gross investment performance of -2.2% and -9.3% for the financial year compares to -12.7% for the Small Resources Accumulation Index and 1.92% for the Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index for the same period. Whilst there was no performance fee income to the manager during this period we remain optimistic on resources and Western Australia in general and the opportunity for outperformance in the coming year. In the past 14 years Westoz and Ozgrowth have returned $157 million in fully franked dividends to their shareholders. PRODIGY INVESTMENT PARTNERS Our Prodigy joint venture has experienced some headwinds resulting from continual change in the domestic funds management industry. The internalisation of some investment strategies by Industry funds, the current disruption in some advice businesses and a period of underperformance from alternative funds in general has resulted in modest growth in FUM to $119 million over the period. We are however pleased with the relative performance of all our funds during the period and are reassured that our predominantly retail distribution capability will provide increased flow opportunities during this volatile period of change. We have recently increased our sales team to further penetrate the retail market. We currently have three boutique partners: • Flinders Investment Partners Gross investment performance of 4.6% for the financial year and performance since inception of 14.5% p.a. Top quartile 1, 2 and 3 year investment performance has seen increasingly retail platform FUM flows with year end FUM of $27 million. The fund received an upgraded rating to “Recommended” by Lonsec Research in February 2019. The Flinders sales pipeline is strong with good FUM flow expected in the coming months. • Dalton Street Capital Gross investment performance of -2.5% for the financial year and 12.4% calendar year to date. In a very difficult period for managed futures and alternative investments in general Dalton reports that its 3 year performance (since inception) makes it the number one ranked managed futures strategy in Australia. When this extended period of low volatility in global markets inevitably turns we believe that Dalton Street will once again have the opportunity to post strong absolute performance numbers and that fund inflows will then follow. 5 EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019 EUROZ LIMITED PROFIT BEFORE TAX & NET PROFIT AFTER TAX Profit before tax Net profit after tax attributable to members EUROZ LIMITED DIVIDEND HISTORY N O I L L I M $ E R A H S R E P S T N E C 1H Dividend per share 2H Dividend per share 6 YEAR YEAR -20.0-10.00.010.020.030.040.050.060.0Profit Before TaxNet Profit After Tax19181716151413121110090807060504030201$ million0.05.010.015.020.025.030.02H Dividend Per Share1H Dividend Per Share19181716151413121110090807060504030201EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019 EUROZ LIMITED NTA PER SHARE E R A H S R E P S T N E C ) m $ A ( M U F 1,600 1,400 1,200 1,000 Total $923m Total $962m 800 600 400 200 YEAR Total $1,403m Total $1,461m Total $1,425m Total $1,205m Total $1,143m Total $1,584m EUROZ GROUP FUNDS UNDER MANAGEMENT (FUM) Funds Management ($346m) Euroz Securities Wealth Management ($357m) Entrust Wealth Management ($881m) DEC 15 JUN 16 DEC 16 JUN 17 DEC 17 JUN 18 DEC 18 JUN 19 YEA R Note: 01/07/2017 as no longer a corporate authorised representative.

I am confident that our specialised business model places us well not only to adapt, but to win business as a result of these changes and further put us in good stead against our competitors - many of which do not have the financial strength we are fortunate to possess as a part of the larger Euroz Limited group. I would like to thank all my fellow Directors and all staff of Euroz Securities for their continued efforts which have delivered a pleasing result for the period, but more importantly have set us up well to deliver further good results in the years ahead. Rob Black Managing Director THE 2019 FINANCIAL YEAR REPRESENTS THE 19TH CONSECUTIVE PROFITABLE YEAR FOR EUROZ SECURITIES – WHICH REPRESENTS THE STOCKBROKING AND CORPORATE FINANCE FUNCTION OF EUROZ LIMITED. Over this period we have continued to deliver on our long term strategy, that being to leverage deal flow in WA related companies through high quality research, dealing and corporate finance services. Quality research is the foundation of our business, and we are fortunate to have a stable team of highly regarded analysts identifying and researching quality companies relevant to our investment universe. Our Institutional Sales team have long standing and strong relationships with major domestic and international institutional investors. We act as their “eyes and ears” in Western Australia for these investors, and a number of these relationships with clients have been in place since the inception of our business. The Private Client dealing team is the largest department in our firm with our team of advisors dealing and advising for a predominately high net worth client base, leveraging our niche research and corporate products while expanding their wealth management capabilities Our Corporate Finance department commands a dominant position in WA Equity Capital Markets (ECM) and Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) advisory services.

There are many well publicised changes happening across our industry, including: • New educational standards for retail advisors under FASEA; • Legislative changes resulting from the Royal Commission into Financial Services; • Emergence of new competitors and consolidation of existing ones; • Increasing cost pressures including ASIC industry funding; • Pending code of ethics membership and ongoing obligations; and • Increased engagement with ASIC and their priority items for the next two years. 12 EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019 EUROZ SECURITIES LIMITED C O R P O R A T E T R A N S A C T I O N S Supporting our clients on major transactions during FY2019.

EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019F U N D S M A N A G E M E N T PRODIGY INVESTMENT PARTNERS On 16 August 2018 Prodigy and Euroz announced that they had entered into a new partnership with Equus through the Prodigy joint venture. Equus is a market neutral strategy focusing on Australian equities. We believe it is the first of its kind in the Australian market. Equus will target a return of 5%-10% p.a. above benchmark using a systematic approach to harvest both positive and negative momentum in a risk controlled environment. The Equus team led by Co-Founders and Portfolio Managers Rob Stewart and Toby Masters have been successfully managing this specific strategy for the last 18 months. PRODIGY INVESTMENT PARTNERS LIMITED (PRODIGY) IS A MULTI-BOUTIQUE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT BUSINESS. PRODIGY IS AN 80/20 PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN EUROZ LIMITED AND STEPHEN TUCKER. Prodigy looks to partner with talented investment management executives in an innovative partnership business model. Prodigy’s focus is on creating boutiques that employ limited capacity, high value adding strategies. We believe these strategies are increasingly attractive to the market, and with limited capacity, allow us to include a performance based component in the pricing. During the 2019 financial year, Prodigy had three partner boutique managers: Flinders Investment Partners Pty Ltd (Flinders), Dalton Street Capital Pty Ltd (Dalton Street) and Equus Point Capital Pty Ltd (Equus). Flinders is a specialist Small Companies investment manager, with principals Dr Andrew Mouchacca, Richard Macdougall and Naheed Rahman. Significant progress has been made in positioning Flinders to gain market share in specific retail and institutional markets over the past year. Dalton Street is a specialist Absolute Return investment manager, established in June 2016. Dalton Street Capital is overseen by its principal Portfolio Manager, Alan Sheen, who was previously at Credit Suisse. Dalton Street’s approach is predominantly quantitatively based. Alan has successfully run this strategy for over 10 years, delivering strong absolute returns, with low correlation to traditional asset classes. We believe that this is an attractive strategy in the high net wealth and retiree markets. STE PHEN TUCKER EX EC UTIVE C HA IR MAN Steve has over 30 years’ experience in financial services.

The businesses within Euroz and many of our staff members have made consistent donations to the Foundation. The funds of the Foundation continue to contribute and make a difference to a number of Western Australian charities and we are pleased that during the past 13 years, we have been able to donate in-excess of $1.6m to these worthy organisations. In February 2019 Euroz held its inaugural ‘Commission For A Cause’ where 100% of all brokerage generated on a day was donated equally to three charities. Euroz raised $195,881 which resulted in over $65,000 each being donated to Homeless Healthcare, Teach For Australia and the Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation. In March 2019, the Euroz Charitable Foundation became the naming sponsor for the Perth Children’s Hospital (PCH) Euroz Big Walk which raised over $150,000. The Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation helps ensure PCH remains at the forefront of paediatric healthcare by funding life-saving research, specialist staff, vital equipment, complementary services and capital projects. In addition to financial support, all employees of the Euroz Group are encouraged to volunteer their time to charities in and around their communities.

The following persons were Directors of Euroz Limited (“Euroz”) at any time during or since the end of the financial year and up to the date of this report: EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN Andrew McKenzie EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS Jay Hughes Greg Chessell Russell Kane Simon Yeo Anthony Brittain Robert Black COMPANY SECRETARY Anthony Hewett continues in his role as Company Secretary. Mr Hewett is a Chartered Secretary and holds a Master of Business Law (MBusLaw) from Curtin University and a Graduate Diploma in Applied Corporate Governance (GradDipACG) from the Governance Institute of Australia. Mr Hewett is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (FCSA), a Fellow of the Governance Institute of Australia (FGIA), a Master Member (MSAFAA) of the Stockbrokers and Financial Advisers Association of Australia (SAFAA) and a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD). PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES During the year the principal activities of Euroz consisted of: (a) Stockbroking & Corporate Finance; (b) Funds Management; (c) Investing; and (d) Wealth Management. REVIEW OF RESULTS The consolidated group has a consolidated pre-tax loss of ($2.8 million) for the year ended 30 June 2019 (2018: profit $42.9 million). The consolidated net loss after tax attributable to members was ($0.1 million) compared with the 2018 year consolidated net profit after tax attributable to members of $31.3 million. This result represents basic loss per share of (0.07cents) (2018: earnings per share of 19.91 cents). The Directors have declared a final dividend of 5 cents per share fully franked which combined with the interim dividend of 1.75 cents per share, represents a total dividend of 6.75 cents per share fully franked.

The major contributing factor to the loss is due to decreases in share prices for Westoz Investment Company Limited (“WIC”) and Ozgrowth Limited (“OZG”). WIC and OZG have reported gross investment performance of (2.2%) and (9.3%) respectively for the financial year which compares to (12.7%) for the Small Resources Accumulation Index and 1.92% for the Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index for the same period. The mark to market share prices of these companies can have a major accounting effect on our reported profits 26 EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (CONT’D) and this year have contributed approximately ($6.7 million) loss after tax to our headline profitability. Group Funds Under Management (“FUM”) has increased by 8.2% to $1.58 billion as at 30 June 2019 from $1.46 billion as at 30 June 2018. Our Euroz Securities Limited (“Euroz Securities”) business raised $469 million of new equity this financial year for our corporate clients versus $837 million in the prior period.

It manages funds under mandate from two listed investment companies; Westoz Investment Company Limited (“WIC”) and Ozgrowth Limited (“OZG”). Both companies have enjoyed competitive portfolio returns since inception. WIC commenced its investment activities in May 2005, with OZG commencing in January 2008. Both investment mandates focus on the generation of the target level of returns from investment in small to mid-cap ASX listed securities, generally with a connection to Western Australia. Both portfolios have produced returns in excess of comparable equity benchmarks. In the past 14 years WIC and OZG have returned $157 million in fully franked dividends to their shareholders. Prodigy Investment Partners Limited (“Prodigy”) is a funds management partnership with Euroz owning 80% and Mr Steve Tucker, Executive Chairman, owning 20%. The first boutique funds management partnership, Flinders Investment Partners Pty Ltd (“Flinders”) was launched in 2015 via the Flinders Emerging Companies Fund. The second boutique, Dalton Street Capital Pty Ltd (“Dalton”) was launched in 2016 via the Dalton Street Absolute Return Fund. A third boutique, Equus Point Capital Pty Ltd (“Equus”) is a market neutral strategy launched via the Equus Point Capital Market Neutral Fund in 2018. (c) Investing Euroz Limited owns significant shareholdings of 27.30% in WIC and 40.58% in OZG. The investment focus of these funds is on small to mid-cap ASX securities with a general connection to Western Australia. Euroz Limited has also invested directly in units in the Flinders Emerging Companies Fund, Dalton Street Absolute Return Fund, Dalton Street Capital Diversified Futures Fund and Equus Point Capital Market Neutral Fund. (d) Wealth Management In July 2015, Euroz acquired Entrust Wealth Management Pty Ltd (formerly Entrust Private Wealth Management Pty Ltd) (“Entrust”) which has a 16-year track record as a leading wealth management business. The strategy in acquiring Entrust is to leverage an established wealth management business with long term ongoing revenues as a platform for further acquisitions and organic growth. The past year has seen expansion in funds under management in line with our growth strategy. Entrust has a significant high net worth client base with FUM of $881 million (2018: $801 million). 28 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONT’D)FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019DISCLOSURE OF OPERATIONS – PROFIT Net loss after tax attributable to members was ($0.1 million) compared to net profit after tax attributable to members of $31.3 million in the 2018 financial year. Underlying “cash” profits of approximately $9.5 million were offset by ($9.6 million) “non-cash” after tax losses from the mark-to-market of investments. DISCLOSURE OF OPERATIONS – SALES Revenue has decreased by (21.6%) to $61.5 million from $78.4 million. We would categorise this year’s underlying profitability as a reasonable result in somewhat challenging markets. (a) Stockbroking & Corporate Finance Stockbroking and Corporate Finance revenue was down by (28.8%) to $29.6 million from $41.5 million. After two very good years our securities business has experienced a modestly profitable year with brokerage revenues down approximately 10% on the previous year. Euroz Securities managed 18 (2018:24) Equity Capital Market (“ECM”) transactions this year raising $469 million (2018: $837 million). FUM growth in our private client business continues to make progress and was up 19% to $357 million. (b) Principal Trading Revenue from Principal Trading increased by 59.11% to $16.1 million from $10.1 million. (c) Funds Management Revenue from Funds Management decreased by (70.36%) to $4.0 million from $13.6 million in the prior year. Revenue predominantly included management fees received from WFM managed funds. After two years of excellent investment performance WIC and OZG have experienced a year of consolidation. Their respective gross investment performance of (2.2%) and (9.3%) for the financial year compares to (12.7%) for the Small Resources Accumulation Index and 1.92% for the Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index for the same period. Whilst there was no performance fee income to the manager during this period we remain optimistic on resources and Western Australia in general and the opportunity for outperformance in the coming year. (d) Investment Income Investment income decreased by (28.9%) to $3.0 million from $4.2 million. (e) Wealth Management Wealth Management revenue decreased slightly by (1.6%) to $8.8 million from $8.9 million. Entrust reported a pleasing improvement in FUM of 10% and a modest increase in profitability versus the previous year. Post the Hayne Royal Commission Entrust has seen a recent increase in potential smaller acquisitions and more realistic price expectations from sellers. DISCLOSURE OF BUSINESS STRATEGIES AND PROSPECTS - GROWTH Our aim is building real diversification into our overall business. We are cognisant that we need to significantly grow our wealth management FUM and also grow meaningful FUM in our Prodigy business. Group FUM increased by 8% to $1.58 billion from $1.46 billion for the last financial year. In July 2015, Euroz acquired Entrust which has now been fully integrated alongside Euroz Securities Private Client operations and we believe that both businesses will continue to cross–pollinate their strengths and grow recurring revenue. During the financial year Prodigy had partnerships with three separate boutique funds, Flinders, Dalton and Equus which are for both retail and wholesale investors. Our long-term strategy is for these boutique funds to provide a steady base of diverse ongoing management fee revenues with potential performance fee upside. Flinders’ gross investment performance of 4.6% for the financial year and performance since inception of 14.5% p.a. Top quartile 1, 2 and 3 year investment performance has seen increasingly retail platform FUM flows with year-end FUM of $27 million. The fund received an upgraded rating to “Recommended” by Lonsec Research in February 2019. The Flinders sales pipeline is strong with good FUM flow expected in the coming months. Dalton aims to deliver absolute returns in all market conditions and has reported gross investment performance of (2.5%) for the financial year and 12.4% calendar year to date. In a very difficult period for managed futures and alternative investments in general, Dalton reports that its 3-year performance (since inception) makes it the number one ranked managed futures strategy in Australia. When this extended period of low volatility in global markets inevitably turns we believe that Dalton will once again have the opportunity to post strong absolute performance numbers and that fund inflows will then follow. In August 2018, Euroz and Prodigy announced the launch of its third boutique funds management partnership, Equus, a market neutral strategy focusing on Australian equities. The fund launched in November 2018 and reported a strong start with 5.6% gross investment performance for this period and is meeting all expectations. This systematic market neutral strategy seeks to achieve consistent, steady returns with low volatility in all types of markets. With return expectations for most markets decreasing and under significant pressure we believe this defensive strategy will become increasingly attractive in the next few years. Our Prodigy joint venture has experienced some headwinds resulting from continual change in the domestic funds management industry. The internalisation of some investment strategies by Industry funds, the current disruption in some advice businesses and a period of underperformance from alternative funds in general has resulted in modest growth in FUM to $119 million over the period. We are however pleased with the relative performance of all our funds during the period and are reassured that our predominantly retail distribution 29 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONT’D)FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019 DISCLOSURE OF BUSINESS STRATEGIES AND PROSPECTS - GROWTH (CONT’D) capability will provide increased flow opportunities during this volatile period of change. We have recently increased our sales team to further penetrate the retail market. We continue to implement our modest diversification strategy and are pleased to pay 6.75 cents per share in fully franked dividends for the year. The Directors believe that Euroz Group has laid the foundations for our strategy to build a more consistent base of underlying recurring revenues through our growing wealth and funds management businesses whilst still retaining the transaction-based upside of our traditional stockbroking business. DISCLOSURE OF BUSINESS STRATEGIES AND PROSPECTS - MATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS The past year continues the trend of extremely volatile trading conditions. Like many businesses we have experienced solid trading months which are often then undermined by any combination of uncertainties. These may take the form of economic concerns, political instability, inflation and growth concerns and / or alternating commodity price movements. Given this backdrop and the increasingly competitive landscape it has created, we are pleased with our overall results for the financial year. Our entire team has worked hard to manage our costs and generate profits and dividends for shareholders. FINANCIAL POSITION The net assets of the consolidated group have decreased to $117.8 million at 30 June 2019 from $130.5 million at 30 June 2018. The Company and consolidated group’s financial performance has enabled it to continue to pay dividends to shareholders during the year while maintaining a healthy working capital ratio. The consolidated group’s working capital, being current assets less current liabilities, is $25.1 million at 30 June 2019 (30 June 2018: $30.7 million). During the past eleven years the Company has invested in expanding each of its business units to secure its long-term success. In particular it has increased its strategic investments in the investment products of WFM, Prodigy and Entrust as a platform for our future wealth management ambitions. Our group remains in an extremely sound financial position with cash and investments of $110.9 million (including the Pershing security deposit of $5 million) as at 30 June 2019. We have a Net Tangible Assets (NTA) of 69¢ per share and no debt. Euroz has a proud history of consistent profits and dividends having paid a total of $222 million in fully franked dividends over the past 19 years. The Directors believe the Company is in a strong and stable financial position to expand and grow its current operations. (Loss) / Earnings per share Basic (loss) / earnings per share Diluted (loss) / earnings per share DIVIDENDS – EUROZ LIMITED Dividends paid or provided for during the financial year were as follows: Interim ordinary dividend of 1.75 cents (2018: 1.75 cents) per fully paid ordinary share was paid on 30 January 2019.

Therefore, it has been eliminated on consolidation. STATE OF AFFAIRS There have been no significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated group during the year other than the acquisition of 1,265,500 treasury shares on-market and the vesting of 398,190 shares under the Performance Rights Plan. 30 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONT’D)FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019SHARE OPTIONS There were no options on issue at 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2018. ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION The consolidated group is not subject to significant environmental regulation in respect of its operations. EVENTS AFTER REPORTING DATE On 12 July 2019, Entrust Private Wealth Management Pty Ltd changed its name to Entrust Wealth Management Pty Ltd. The Directors are not aware of any other matter or circumstance subsequent to 30 June 2019 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect: (a) the consolidated group’s operations in future financial years; or (b) the results of those operations in future financial years; or (c) the consolidated group’s state of affairs in future financial years. LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS The Directors are confident that a strong statement of financial position and established business platforms will support the Company in increasingly volatile market conditions. Further information on likely developments in the operations of the consolidated group and the expected results of operations have not been included in this report because the Directors believe it would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the consolidated group.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 as appropriate for “for-profit” oriented entities. This financial report has been authorised by the Directors to be issued on 20 August 2019. The Directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. Euroz Limited is a listed public Company, trading on the Australian Securities Exchange and Chi - X, limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The financial report of Euroz Limited and controlled entities (the group or consolidated group), complies with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Separate financial information of the parent Company has been included in Note 34 as permitted by amendments to the Corporations Act 2001. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars which is the group’s functional and presentation currency. Amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar in accordance with Corporations (Rounding in Financial / Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191. The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the consolidated group in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. Basis of preparation Reporting basis and conventions The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied. Accounting policies (a) Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by Euroz Limited (‘Company’ or ‘parent entity’) as at 30 June 2019 and the results of all controlled entities for the year then ended. Euroz Limited and its controlled entities together are referred to in this financial report as the consolidated group. Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated group has control. The consolidated group controls an entity when the consolidated group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated group. They are de- consolidated from the date that control ceases. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the consolidated group. A change in ownership interest without the loss of control is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated group. All controlled entities have a 30 June financial year end. (b) Income tax The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for: • • When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 46 EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 20191. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (b) Income tax (cont’d) The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entity’s which intend to settle simultaneously. Euroz Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the Tax Consolidation Regime. The group formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from 1 July 2003. The tax consolidated group has entered a tax sharing agreement whereby each Company in the group contributes to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidated group. (c) Business combinations The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss. On the acquisition of a business, the consolidated group assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, and the consolidated group’s operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date. The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquirer. Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value. (d) Revenue recognition Revenue from contracts with customers Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the consolidated entity is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the consolidated entity: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised. Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the ‘expected value’ or ‘most likely amount’ method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are initially recognised as deferred revenue in the form of a separate refund liability. Brokerage revenue Brokerage revenue from share trading is considered to be derived from a single obligation being the completion of a share trading transaction. Accordingly, at the completion of the transaction the revenue is recognised. External trail commission classified as brokerage is also considered a distinct service and does not involve other promised goods or services. Therefore, revenue is recognised at the completion of the service. 47 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D)FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20191. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019 (d) Revenue recognition (cont’d) Underwriting, placement fees and corporate retainers Corporate retainers relate to the service fee for work performed such as corporate advisory services. This service is considered a distinct performance obligation and accordingly revenue is recognised as the service is completed in accordance with the engagement mandate. Placement fees are fees charged on raising capital for clients. This is determined to be the single performance obligation and revenue is recognised as the service is completed in accordance with the engagement mandate. Underwriting fees are derived upon the satisfactory completion of the engagement criteria which may be the execution of a capital raising or the sale of a pre-determined number of shares for a client. The performance obligation is determined to be the completion of the capital raise or sale of the shares and revenue is recognised as the service is completed in accordance with the engagement mandate. The payment terms in relation to this source of revenue is 7 days. Performance and management fees Performance fee income is derived from investment management agreements based on the performance of an underlying fund over a contracted period of time. If the fund performance exceeds a specified threshold the performance fee payable is determined and recorded as revenue at the conclusion of the performance period. The performance obligation is determined to be singular being to achieve a certain performance target over a specified period. Management fee income is derived from investment management agreements whereby a monthly management fee is payable based on the fund value. The performance obligation is the monthly management of the fund and revenue is recorded monthly following the completion of the month. The payment terms in relation to this source of revenue is 7 days. Wealth management fees Wealth management fee income is derived from agreements with clients individually whereby a monthly management fee is payable based on the portfolio value. The performance obligation is the monthly management of the portfolio and revenue is recorded monthly following the completion of the month. Proceeds from the sale of investments Share trading revenue from the sale of stocks in the jobbing account is recognised on the day the security is traded. Revenue comprises the gross proceeds on sale of the security. The single performance obligation is the sale of the security. Interest Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Other revenue Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. (e) Receivables Trade receivables are recognised as current receivables as they are generally settled within 30 days from the date of recognition. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. 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. All trade receivables relating to brokerage and principal trading have been transferred to Pershing Securities (Australia) Pty Ltd who provides a trust account facility as part of the clearing and settlement service. (f) Inventories Inventories are stocks held in the operating (house) account at year end. All inventory is held at fair value. Refer to Note 1 (t) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. (g) Plant and equipment Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost as indicated less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. 48 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D)FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20191. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019(g) Plant and equipment (cont’d) The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the residual values commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: Class of Fixed Asset Leasehold improvements Plant and equipment Depreciation Rate 25% 25 – 33% The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the statement of profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to the asset are transferred to retained earnings. (h) Leasehold improvements The cost of improvements to or on leasehold properties are amortised over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement to the consolidated group, whichever is the shorter. (i) (j) Leases Operating lease payments are charged to the statement of profit or loss in the periods in which they are incurred, as this represents the pattern of benefits derived from the leased assets. Trade and other payables Trade and other payables also include other liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated group 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 not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. All trade payables relating to brokerage and principal trading have been transferred to Pershing Securities (Australia) Pty Ltd who provides a trust account facility as part of the clearing and settlement service. (k) Dividends Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared and authorised by the Directors on or before the end of the financial year, but not distributed at reporting date. (l) Options The fair value of options in the shares of the Company issued to Directors and other parties is recognised as an expense in the financial statements in relation to the granting of these options. (m) Employee benefits (i) Wages, salaries and annual leave Liabilities for wages, salaries and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. (ii) Employee benefits payable later than one year Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. There have been no changes to the method used to calculate this liability. (iii) Superannuation Contributions are made by the consolidated group to superannuation funds as stipulated by statutory requirements and are charged as expenses when incurred. 49 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D)FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20191. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019 (m) Employee benefits (cont’d) (iv) Employee benefit on costs Employee benefit on costs, including payroll tax, are recognised and included in employee benefits liabilities and costs when the employee benefits to which they relate are recognised as liabilities. (v) Options/performance rights The fair value of options/performance rights granted is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date. The fair value of options at grant date is independently determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the non-tradeable nature of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option. The fair value of performance rights is estimated at grant date based on expectations of the bonus that will be paid at year end to eligible employees. Each performance right is subject to a 4-year vesting condition. At the end of year 1, the performance right converts to plan shares that are subject to a 3-year service condition. The Board may, at their discretion accelerate the vesting period. (vi) Profit-sharing The consolidated group recognises a liability and an expense for profit-sharing based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to the Company’s employees after certain adjustments. (vii) Termination benefits The consolidated group recognises a liability and an expense when the group demonstrates a commitment to either terminate the employee before the normal retirement date or provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to the employee prior to retirement date. (n) Cash and cash equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes deposits at call which are readily convertible to cash on hand and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. (o) Earnings per share (i) Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the net profit after income tax attributable to members of the Company, 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 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. The potential impact of issuing treasury shares externally is considered when calculating diluted earnings per share.  (p) 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 principle 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 interest. 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 each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. 50 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D)FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20191. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019(p) Fair value measurement (cont’d) 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. (q) Fair value estimation The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available- for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the consolidated group is the current bid price; the appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current ask price. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques. The consolidated group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each reporting date. Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used for long-term debt instruments held. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments. The nominal value less estimated credit adjustments of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the consolidated group for similar financial instruments. (r) Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. (s) Treasury Shares Own equity instruments that are reacquired (treasury shares) are recognised at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the group’s own equity instruments. Any difference between the carrying amount and the consideration, if reissued, is recognised in share-based payments reserve.   (t) Investments and Other Financial Assets Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless, an accounting mismatch is being avoided. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, its carrying value is written off. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the consolidated entity intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial recognition. Impairment of financial assets The consolidated entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the consolidated entity’s assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument’s credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain. 51 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D)FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20191. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019 (t) Investments and Other Financial Assets (cont’d) Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset’s lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset’s lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate. For financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised within other comprehensive income. In all other cases, the loss allowance is recognised in profit or loss. (u) Current / non-current classification Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. An asset is current when: it is expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within twelve 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 twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is current when: it is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current. (v) Contributed equity Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options, or for the acquisition of a business, are included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration. (w) Intangible asset Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period. Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed. (x) Impairment of non-financial assets Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other non- financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell 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. (y) New standards and interpretations The consolidated group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current year. Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. 52 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D)FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20191. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019(y) New standards and interpretations (cont’d) The following new Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity: AASB 9 Financial Instruments The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 9 from 1 July 2018. The standard introduced new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified dates and that are solely principal and interest. A debt investment shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is to both hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified dates that are solely principal and interest as well as selling the asset on the basis of its fair value. All other financial assets are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading or contingent consideration recognised in a business combination) in other comprehensive income (‘OCI’). Despite these requirements, a financial asset may be irrevocably designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss to reduce the effect of, or eliminate, an accounting mismatch. For financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity’s own credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management activities of the entity. New impairment requirements use an ‘expected credit loss’ (‘ECL’) model to recognise an allowance. Impairment is measured using a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. For receivables, a simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected loss allowance is available. There is no financial impact on the consolidated entities primary statements from the adoption of AASB 9. AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 15 from 1 July 2018. The standard provides a single comprehensive model for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity shall recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard introduced a new contract-based revenue recognition model with a measurement approach that is based on an allocation of the transaction price. This is described further in the accounting policies below. Credit risk is presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted against revenue. Contracts with customers are presented in an entity’s statement of financial position as a contract liability, a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity’s performance and the customer’s payment. Customer acquisition costs and costs to fulfil a contract can, subject to certain criteria, be capitalised as an asset and amortised over the contract period. The adoption of AASB 15 does not have any financial impact on the accounting for revenue in the consolidated entity but has resulted in a change to the description of accounting policies and revenue notes. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2019. The consolidated entity’s assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below. AASB 16 Leases This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 ‘Leases’ and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a ‘right-of-use’ asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured at the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a ‘right-of-use’ asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (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 will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 and its impact on adoption is expected to result in total assets increasing by $5,434,065, total liabilities increasing by $5,551,232 and net assets decreasing by $117,167. The Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) has issued the following new and amended accounting standards and interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods. The group has decided against the early adoption of any of these standards. 53 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D)FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20191.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS Estimates and judgements incorporated in the financial statements are based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group. Key estimates and judgments (i) Impairment At each reporting date, the consolidated group compares the carrying values and market values of investments to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If impairment indicators exist, any excess of the investment entity’s carrying value over the recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of profit or loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the consolidated group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. (ii) Classification of inventories The consolidated group has decided to classify investments in listed securities at fair value through profit and loss. These securities are accounted for at fair value. Any increments or decrements in their value at year end are charged or credited to the statement of profit or loss. (iii) Taxation Judgement is required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and certain deferred tax liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from temporary differences and tax losses, are recognised only where it is considered more likely than not they will be recovered, which is dependent on the generation of sufficient future taxable profits. Deferred tax liabilities arising from temporary differences are recognised to the extent that there are future profits. 54 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT’D)FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 20191.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (CONT’D) Key estimates and judgments (cont’d) (iv) Goodwill Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing, the goodwill on acquisition of Blackswan Equities Limited is allocated to private client broking cash-generating unit which represents the lowest level at which it is monitored for internal management purposes. At 30 June 2019, goodwill totalling $2,803,345 has been allocated to the private client broking cash-generated unit. The assumptions used for determining the recoverable amount are based on past experience and expectations for the future. Projected cash flows for each cash-generated unit are discounted using an appropriate discount rate and a value in use is determined over a 5-year life. The discount rate deemed applicable at 30 June 2019 amounted to 10.65%. The Board have assessed that there is no indication the goodwill is impaired. In addition, the goodwill on the acquisition of Entrust totalling $5,639,200 has been allocated to the performance of this Company as a whole. The assumptions used for determining the recoverable amount are based on past experience and expectations for the future. Projected cash flows for each cash-generated unit are discounted using an appropriate discount rate and a value in use is determined over a 5-year life. The discount rate deemed applicable at 30 June 2019 amounted to 10.65 %. The Board have assessed that there is no indication the goodwill is impaired. (v) Intangible assets Upon acquisition of Entrust, Euroz acquired $1,736,240 in other intangible assets consisting 3 separate client portfolios. These assets were tested for impairment. The assumptions used for determining the recoverable amount was based on past experience and expectations for the future. Projected cash flows for each cash-generated unit were discounted using an appropriate discount rate and a value in use was determined over a 5-year life. The discount rate deemed applicable at 30 June 2019 amounted to 10.65 %. The Board have assessed that there is no indication these assets are impaired. 3.

INCOME TAX (CONT’D) Tax consolidation legislation Euroz Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries implemented the tax consolidation legislation as of 1 July 2003. The accounting policy on implementation of the legislation is set out in Note 1(b). The impact on the income tax expense for the year is disclosed in the tax reconciliation above. The entities have also entered into a tax sharing and funding agreement. Under the terms of this agreement, the wholly-owned entities reimburse Euroz Limited for any current income tax payable by Euroz Limited arising in respect of their activities. The reimbursements are payable at the same time as the associated income tax liability falls due and have therefore been recognised as a current tax-related receivable by Euroz Limited. In the opinion of the Directors, the tax sharing agreement is also a valid agreement under the tax consolidation legislation and limits the joint and several liability of the wholly owned entities in the case of a default by Euroz Limited. 7.

A sensitivity analysis has been provided in the note to illustrate the effect of interest rate movements on interest income earned. (ii) Liquidity risk The group manages liquidity risk using forward cash flow projections, maintaining cash reserves and having no borrowings or debt.

Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibility section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Key Audit Matter 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 year.

The consolidated entity’s accounting policy in respect of intangibles is outlined in Notes 1 (w) and (x), and as disclosed have an indefinite useful life. The carrying amount of intangible assets is a key audit matter due to the level of judgement applied in evaluating management’s assessment of impairment. impairment As outlined in Notes 2 (iv), 2 (v) and 16, management assessed the carrying amount of testing through intangible assets utilising a value in use model in which significant judgements are applied in determining key assumptions. These assumptions include the assessment of future earnings before interest and tax growth expected to be achieved, as well as the discount factor. The judgements made in determining the underlying assumptions in the model have a significant impact on the carrying amount of intangible assets, and accordingly the amount of any impairment charge, to be recorded in the current financial year. Other Information Other information is financial and non-financial information in the annual report of the consolidated entity which is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The directors are responsible for Other Information in the annual report. The Other Information we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report was the Director’s report. The remaining Other Information is expected to be made available to us after the date of the Auditor’s Report. Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, the auditor does not and will not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report. In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. In doing so, we 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. We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information in the Financial Report and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior the date of this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report. 76 EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EUROZ LIMITED (CONT’D) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO MEMBERS OF EUROZ LIMITED (CONT’D) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 PKF Perth Directors’ Responsibilities for the Financial Report The Directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the Directors also state, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards. In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using a going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the consolidated entity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. 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 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 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 entity’s internal control. 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. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. We conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the consolidated entity to cease to continue as a going concern. We 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. We obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the consolidated entity to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. 77 EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019EUROZ LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO MEMBERS OF EUROZ LIMITED (CONT’D) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 PKF Perth We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. The Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements. 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 key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on the Remuneration Report Opinion We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2019. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Euroz Limited for the year ended 30 June 2019 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Responsibilities The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
