REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) 

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

A.  Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 
B.  Details of remuneration 
C.  Share-based compensation 
D.  Directors’ equity holdings 
E.  Relationship between the remuneration policy and company performance 

The  information  provided  in  this  remuneration  report  has  been  audited  as  required  by  section 
308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001. 

A.  PRINCIPLES USED TO DETERMINE NATURE & AMOUNT OF REMUNERATION 

The whole Board form the Remuneration Committee. The remuneration policy has been designed 
to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a 
fixed remuneration component with the flexibility to offer  specific long-term incentives based  on 
key performance areas affecting the Group’s financial results. The Board believes the remuneration 
policy  to  be  appropriate  and  effective  in  its  ability  to  attract  and  retain  the  best  directors  and 
executives to manage the Group. 

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Board members and 
senior executives is as follows: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

The  remuneration  policy,  setting  the  terms  and  conditions  for  the  executive  directors  and 
other senior executives,  was developed by the Board. All executives receive a base salary 
(which is based on factors such as length of service and experience) and superannuation. 
The Board reviews executive packages annually and determines policy recommendations by 
reference to executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and 
other listed companies in similar industries. 
The Board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. 
The policy is designed to attract and retain the highest calibre of executives and reward them 
for performance that results in long term growth in shareholder wealth. 
The  directors  and  executives  who  receive  the  superannuation  guarantee  contribution,  as 
required by the government, received 10% of base salary for the year ended 30 June 2022 
and do not receive any other retirement benefits. 
The  Board  policy  is  to  remunerate  non-executive  directors  at  market  rates  for  comparable 
companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the 
non-executive directors and reviews the remuneration annually, based on market practice, 
duties  and  accountability.  Independent  external  advice  is  sought  when  required,  which 
during  the  year  none  was  required.  The  maximum  aggregate  amount  of  fees  that  can  be 
paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General 
Meeting and is presently limited to $250,000. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to 
the performance of the Group.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) 

• 

• 

In  determining  the  level  and  make-up  of  executive  remuneration,  the  Board  negotiates  a 
remuneration  to  reflect  the  market  salary  for  a  position  and  individual  of  comparable 
responsibility and experience.  Due to the limited size of the Group and of its operations and 
financial affairs, the use of a separate remuneration committee is not considered appropriate.  
Remuneration  is  regularly  compared  with  the  external  market  by  participation  in  industry 
salary surveys and during recruitment activities generally.  If required, the Board may engage 
an external consultant to provide independent advice in the form of a written report detailing 
market  levels  of  remuneration  for  comparable  executive  roles.    No  external  remuneration 
consultant was used during the year.  
All  remuneration  paid  to  Directors  and  Executives  is  valued  at  the  cost  to  the  Group  and 
expensed.  Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology. 

The  remuneration  policy  has  been  tailored  to  increase  the  direct  positive  relationship  between 
shareholders’  investment  objectives  and  directors  and  executive  performance.  Currently,  this  is 
facilitated through the issue of options to the directors and executives to encourage the alignment 
of personal and shareholder interests. The Group believes this policy will be effective in increasing 
shareholder wealth. The Group currently has no performance-based remuneration component built 
into director and executive remuneration packages. 

NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS 

The  remuneration  of  Non-Executive  directors  consists  of  directors’  fees,  payable  in  advance. 
Remuneration of Non-Executive directors is based on fees approved by the Board of directors and 
is set at levels to reflect market conditions and encourage the continued services of the directors.  
Non-Executive  directors  do  not  receive  retirement  benefits  but  are  able  to  participate  in  share-
based incentive programmes in accordance with Company policy. 

The Group’s Non-Executive directors are eligible to receive fees for their services in addition to their 
role and the reimbursement of reasonable expenses.  

OTHER BENEFITS 

No other benefits were paid to Non-Executive directors during the year. 

SERVICE CONTRACTS 

The Group has entered into services agreements with its executive Director and key management 
personnel  (KMP).  The  Group  has  also  entered  into  Non-Executive  Director  appointment  letters 
outlining  the  policies  and  terms  of  the  appointment  including  compensation  to  the  office  of

E.  RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE REMUNERATION AND COMPANY 

PERFORMANCE 

Per the Group’s remuneration policy, directors’ remuneration can be linked to either short term or 
long-term performance conditions. The Board feels that other than the short-term incentives for the 
Group’s  Managing  Director  and  Chief  Executive  Officer,  Mr  Sean  Smith,  currently  the  terms  and 
conditions of options and shares currently on issue to the directors are a sufficient incentive to align 
the goals of the directors with those  of the shareholders to maximise  shareholder wealth, and as 
such, has not set any performance conditions for the directors of the Group.  The Board will continue 
to monitor this policy to ensure that it is appropriate for the Group in future years.   

The  table  below  sets  out  summary  information  about  the  Group’s  earnings  and  movement  in

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

COMPANY OVERVIEW 

Frugl  gathers  product  and  pricing  data  from  a  range  of  retailers  before  further  organising  and 
enriching  it  via  automated  processing  and  advanced  machine  learning techniques.  The  data  is 
then made available to shoppers via the Frugl Grocery mobile comparison and wellness app. Data 
collected  from  users  via  their  usage  of  the  app,  which  the  Company  harvests  to  develop  retail 
intelligence  in  the  form  of  behavioural  and  shopper  segment  data,  forms  the  basis  of  its  data 
analytics platform. 

The combined product, pricing and shopper data is then collated for use by the Company’s InFocus 
Analytics retail intelligence platform for commercial use by retailers, suppliers and other associated 
businesses. The below graphic outlines the Company’s avenues for commercialisation, providing an 
overview of the markets that the Company is working within.

Release of Version 3.0 of the Frugl Grocery App 

In January 2022, the Company completed the release of Version 3.0 of its Frugl Grocery comparison 
app. A refreshed user interface and mobile app utilising leading edge technologies including Flutter 
and Augmented Reality libraries has delivered substantial performance improvements and better 
user experience. 

Frugl Grocery added the capability to add unlimited retailers to the platform to enhance shopping 
options for users. Retailers may be within the grocery category, or any complementary categories 
the Company decides will add value to its users. 

Version  3.0  of  the  Frugl  Grocery  app  has  experienced  record  user  growth  following  its  release  in 
January 2022. The refreshed user interface, addition of more retailers and substantial performance 
improvements have underpinned stronger user take up and retention of the Company’s leading 
grocery comparison app.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED) 

The  unprecedented  growth  in  Frugl  Grocery  app  users  has  been  supported  by  increasing  press 
activity and the acknowledgement of Frugl’s role as an independent source of grocery insight and 
research.  The  substantial  media  activity  across  television,  radio  and  online  is  helping  to  further 
establish the Frugl brand amongst shoppers, retail businesses, research organisations and journalists 
and plays an important role in the company’s future growth. 

Launch of the Frugl Grocery Price Index (Frugl GPI) 

Pricing  and  household  basket  analysis  was  undertaken  on  over  two  years  of  grocery  data  in 
readiness for the launch of the first quarterly Frugl GPI report subsequent to the year end, offering 
the  public  and  grocery  industry  independent  insights  into  grocery  inflation  at  a  total  grocery, 
grocery category and demographic household level.

As  was  demonstrated  during  the  period,  media  continues  to  be  the  key  driver  of  user  number 
growth on the Frugl Grocery app, with growing users key to the Company’s pathway to expanded 
commercialisation activities. It is anticipated the Frugl GPI will continue to drive media attention in 
the period ahead to support further user growth. 

Commercialisation 

On 16 August 2021, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with Millell Pty 
Ltd (Pet Circle) to supply ongoing data analytics on a range of markets relevant to its pet supplies 
business.  The  Services  provided  by  Frugl  will  be  powered  by  the  Company’s  InFocus  Analytics 
platform  that  will  empower  the  Pet  Circle  management  to  focus  on  their  pricing  strategies  and 
tactics. Pet Circle is a rapidly expanding force in the pet supplies industry having launched ten years 
ago offering the  first fully online store  offering for  customers in the pet supplies marketplace. The 
Business now has a base of 500,000 regular customers across Australia. 

The  Company  continues  business  development  discussions  with  major  retailers,  consultants, 
suppliers  and  government  agencies  and  is  confident  that  it  will  deliver  future  quarterly  revenue 
growth. In addition, the Company is in discussions with potential transactional partners for the Frugl 
Grocery  app  which  will  introduce  new  revenue  streams  for  the  Company  heading  into  the  next 
financial year.

The key risks that the Board has currently identified are: 

Technology Risk

• 
• 
•  Competition Risk

risks through governance and oversight, and as such the Board has not established a separate risk 
management committee. 

Furthermore, the Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure management’s objectives 
and activities are aligned to the Board. These include the following: 

•  Board approval of a strategic plan, which encompasses strategy statements designed to 

• 

meet stakeholders needs and manage business risk. 
Implementation of Board approved operating plans and Board monitoring of the progress 
against budgets. 

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS 

The  Group  plans  to  release  a  fully  operating  version  of  the  Frugl  data  comparison  software  for 
browser  and  phone-based  users.  This  technology  is  expected  to  produce  vast  amounts  of  high-
quality data that is valuable to large grocery retailers. 

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE 

The Group’s activities to date have not been subject to any particular and significant environmental 
regulation under Laws of either the Commonwealth of Australia or a State or Territory of Australia.

liabilities to another person (other than the Group or a related body corporate) that may arise from 
their position as directors of the Group, except where the liability has arisen as a result of a wilful 
breach of duty in relation to the Group. The agreement stipulates that the Group will meet the full

COMPLIANCE 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 
The Board of Directors is responsible for the corporate governance of the Group. The Board guides 
and  monitors  the  business  affairs  of  the  Group  on  behalf  of  the  shareholders  by  whom  they  are 
elected and to whom they are accountable. The Corporate Governance policies and practices of 
the Group are reviewed annually in accordance with the standards required of the Group by the 
Directors,  the  ASX,  ASIC  and  other  relevant  stakeholders,  to  ensure  that  the  highest  appropriate 
governance standards are maintained, commensurate with the size and operations of the Group. 

The ASX Corporate Governance Council released the fourth edition of its Corporate Governance 
Principles and Recommendations on 27 February 2019 to take effect for the first full financial year 
commencing  on  or  after  1  July  2020.  The  Group’s  Corporate  Governance  Statement,  and 
associated policy documents complies as far as possible with the spirit and intentions of the ASX 
Corporate  Governance  Council’s  Corporate  Governance  Principles  and  Recommendations  as 
appropriate, having regard to the size of the Group and the nature of its enterprise. The Corporate 
Governance Statement can be found on the Group’s web site:  
www.fruglgroup.com.au  

INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE 
Directors  of  the  Group  are  expected  to  exercise  considered  and  independent  judgement  on 
matters before them and may need to seek independent professional advice. A director with prior 
written approval from the Chairman may, at the Group’s expense obtain independent professional 
advice to properly discharge his responsibilities.  

BOARD COMPOSITION 
The  Board  consists  of  one  Executive  and  two  Non-Executive  Directors.  Details  of  their  skills, 
experience and expertise and the year of office held by each director have been included in the 
Directors’ Report.  The number of Board meetings and the attendance of the directors are set out 
in the Directors’ Report. 

The  Board  will  decide  on  the  choice  of  any  new  director  upon  the  creation  of  any  new  Board 
position and if any casual vacancy arises. Decisions to appoint new directors will be minuted. The 
Board  considers  that  due  to  the  size  and  complexity  of  the  Group’s  affairs  it  does  not  merit  the 
establishment of a  separate nomination committee. Until the situation changes the Board  of the 
Group will carry out any necessary nomination committee functions.  

SHARE TRADING POLICY 
Directors,  officers  and  employees  are  prohibited  from  dealing  in  the  Group  shares  when  they 
possess inside information. The Board is to be notified promptly of any trading of shares in the Group 
by any director or officer of the Group. 

This Directors’ report is signed in accordance with a resolution of directors made pursuant to s.298(2) 
of the Corporations Act 2001.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

To the members of Frugl Group Limited  

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion  

We  have  audited  the  financial  report  of  Frugl  Group  Limited  (“the  Company”)  and  its  controlled 
entities (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at  30 
June  2022,  the  consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income,  the 
consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the 
year  then  ended,  and  notes  to  the  financial  statements,  including  a  summary  of  significant 
accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.  

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

a)  giving  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  Group’s  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2022  and  of  its 

financial performance for the year then ended; and  

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

Basis for opinion  

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

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

Material uncertainty related to going concern  

We draw attention to Note 2.15 in the financial report, which indicates that a material uncertainty 
exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our 
opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. 

Key audit matters  

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance 
in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context 
of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not 
provide  a  separate  opinion  on  these  matters.  We  have  determined  that  other  than  the  matter 
described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section above, there are no key audit 
matters to be communicated in our report.

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

The  directors  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises  the 
information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022 but does not 
include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not 
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 
report, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

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

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report  

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

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

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report 

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

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

- 

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

-  Obtain  an  understanding  of  internal  control  relevant  to  the  audit  in  order  to  design  audit 
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing 
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.  

- 

- 

Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of 
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.  

Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting 
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to 
events or conditions that  may cast significant doubt  on the Group’s  ability to continue as a 

FRUGL GROUP LIMITED | 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 

Page 20 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
going  concern.  If  we  conclude  that  a  material  uncertainty  exists,  we  are  required  to  draw 
attention  in  our  auditor’s  report  to  the  related  disclosures  in  the  financial  report  or,  if  such 
disclosures  are  inadequate,  to  modify  our  opinion.  Our  conclusions  are  based  on  the  audit 
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions 
may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.  

- 

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the 
disclosures,  and  whether  the  financial  report  represents  the  underlying  transactions  and 
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.   

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

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

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

Report on the Remuneration Report  

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included within the directors’ report for the year ended 
30 June 2022.   

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Frugl Group Limited for the year ended 30 June 2022 
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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL 
STATEMENTS  
for the financial year ended 30 June 2022 

1.  GENERAL INFORMATION 

Frugl  Group  Limited (the  Company) is a limited company incorporated in Australia. The principal 
activities in the course of the financial year was the development, marketing and customer support 
of its grocery comparison and data analytics products and services. 

2.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

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

The  financial  statements  comprise  the  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  Group  and  its 
controlled entities (collectively the Group). 

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 29 September 2022. 

2.1.  BASIS OF PREPARATION 

The  financial  statements  comprise  the  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  Group.  For  the 
purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Group 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. 

2.1.1.  Statement of compliance 
These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in 
accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian 
Accounting  Standards  Board  (AASB)  and  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRS)  as 
issued  by  the  International  Accounting  Standards  Board  (IASB),  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001 
(Cth). 

2.1.2.  Historical cost convention

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL 
STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

2.2.  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and 
entities controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company: 

•  has power over the investee; 
• 
•  has the ability to its power to affect its returns. 

is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement in with the investee; and 

The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate 
that there are changes to one or more of the three elements listed above. 

When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights if an investee, it has the power over 
the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant 
activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances 
in assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights are sufficient to give it power, including: 

• 

the size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings 
of the other vote holders;  

rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and 

•  potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties;  
• 
•  any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, 
the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, 
including voting patterns at shareholder meetings. 

Consolidation of a  subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and 
ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically income and expenses of a 
subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statement of 
comprehensive  income  from  the  date  the  Company  gains  control  until  the  date  when  the 
Company ceases to control the subsidiary. 

2.2.1.  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 when 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. 

2.2.2.  Loss of control 
Upon the loss of control, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-
controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary.  Any surplus or 
deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in 
the  previous  subsidiary,  then  such  interest  is  measured  at  fair  value  at  the  date  control  is  lost. 
Subsequently it is accounted for as an equity-accounted investee or put through profit and loss or 
through other comprehensive income depending on the election adopted. 

2.2.3.  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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL 
STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

2.3. 

TAXATION 

2.3.1.  Income tax 
The  income  tax  expense/(income)  for  the  year  comprises  current  income  tax  expense/(income) 
and deferred tax expense/(income). 

Current  income  tax  expense  charged  to  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  (income)  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. 

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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL 
STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

2.3.2.  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 taxation authority. In these circumstances the 
GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. 
Receivables and payables in the consolidated statement of financial position are shown inclusive 
of GST. 

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office is included 
as a current asset or liability in the consolidated statement of financial position. 

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

2.4.  RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURE 

An  intangible  asset  arising  from  development  (or  from  the  development  phase  of  an  internal 
project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following has been demonstrated: 

• 

the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use 
or sale;  
the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;  
the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;  

• 
• 
•  how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;  
• 

the  availability  of  adequate  technical,  financial  and  other  resources  to  complete  the 
development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and  
its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its 
development. 

• 

Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  capitalised  development  costs  are  reported  at  cost  less 
accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible 
assets  that  are  acquired  separately.  Amortisation  of  the  asset  begins  when  development  is 
complete  and  the  asset  is  available  for  use.  It  is  amortised  over  the  period  of  expected  future 
benefit, which will normally be the useful life of the asset.  During the period of development, the 
asset is tested for impairment annually. 

2.5. 

TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES 

Trade and other receivables arise from the Group’s transactions with its customers and are normally 
settled within 30 days. 

Consistent  with  both  the  Group’s  business  model  for  managing  the  financial  assets  and  the 
contractual cash flow characteristics of the assets, trade and other receivables are subsequently 
measured at amortised cost. 

The Group determines expected credit losses based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, 
adjusted for factors that are specific to the financial asset as well as current and future expected 
economic  conditions  relevant  to  the  financial  asset.  When  material,  the  time  value  of  money  is 
incorporated into the measurement of expected credit losses. There has been no change in the 
estimation techniques or significant assumptions made during the reporting period.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL 
STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

2.6.  EMPLOYEE BENEFITS 

2.6.1.  Short-term benefits 
Liabilities  for  employee  benefits  for  wages,  salaries  and  annual  leave  that  are  expected  to  be 
settled  wholly within 12  months of the reporting  date represent present  obligations resulting  from 
employees' services provided to the reporting date and are calculated at undiscounted amounts 
based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the Group expects to pay at the reporting date 
including related on-costs, such as workers’ compensation insurance and payroll tax. 

Non-accumulating  non-monetary  benefits,  such  as  medical  care,  housing,  cars  and  free  or 
subsidised goods and services, are expensed based on the net marginal cost to the Group as the 
benefits are taken by the employees. 

2.6.2.  Other long-term benefits 
The Group's obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits other than defined benefit plans 
is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current 
and prior periods plus related on-costs; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, 
and  the  fair  value  of  any  related  assets  is  deducted.  The  discount  rate  is  the  Reserve  Bank  of 
Australia's cash rate at the report date that have maturity dates approximating the terms  of the 
Group’s  obligations.  Any  actuarial  gains  or  losses  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  in  the  period  in 
which they arise. 

2.6.3.  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. 

2.6.4.  Equity-settled compensation 
The Group operates an employee share option plan. The fair value of options granted is recognised 
as  an  employee  expense  with  a  corresponding  increase  in  equity.  The  fair  value  is  measured  at 
grant  date  and  spread  over  the  period  during  which  the  employees  become  unconditionally 
entitled to the options. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes 
pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. 
The amount recognised is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest except 
where forfeiture is only due to market conditions not being met. 

2.7.  SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS TRANSACTIONS 

Under AASB 2 Share-Based Payments, the Group must recognise the fair value of options granted 
to directors, employees and consultants as compensation as an expense on a pro-rata basis over 
the vesting period in profit or loss with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL 
STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

2.8.  BORROWINGS 

Borrowings  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value,  net  of  transaction  costs  incurred.  Borrowings  are 
subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost.  Any  difference  between  the  proceeds  (net  of 
transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the 
borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are 
recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the 
facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent 
there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is 
capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to 
which it relates. 

Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in 
the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of 
a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration 
paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as 
other income or finance costs. 

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer 
settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. 

2.9.  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. 

2.10.  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES 

Contingent liabilities are not recognised but are disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, 
unless  the  possibility  of  settlement  is  remote,  in  which  case  no  disclosure  is  made.  If  settlement 
becomes probable and the amount can be reliably estimated, a provision is recognised. 

The amount disclosed as a contingent liability is the best estimate of the settlement.

2.11.  EARNINGS PER SHARE 

2.11.1.  Basic earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net profit or loss after income tax attributable to 
members 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 year. 

2.11.2.  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.  When  the 
Group makes a loss, the number of shares is not adjusted by the potential ordinary shares as the 
impact would be to reduce the loss per share. 

2.12.  REVENUE AND OTHER INCOME 

The  Group  is  in  the  business  of  sale  and  distribution  and  marketing  of  its  grocery  comparison 
products and services. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the 
goods or services are transferred to the Customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to 
which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  

The Group’s revenue accounting policy is detailed below: 

Revenue from sale, distribution and marketing of grocery comparison products 
Revenue from sale, distribution and marketing of grocery comparison products is recognised over 
time over the life of the service contract as the Groups service obligations under the contract are 
satisfied. 

Sales of Books 
Revenue  from  the  sale  of  books  is  recognised  at  the  point  in  time  when  control  of  the  asset  is 
transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the book. The Group considers whether there 
are other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of 
the  transaction  price  needs  to  be  allocated  (e.g.  customer  loyalty  points).  In  determining  the 
transaction  price  for  the  sale  of  equipment,  the  Group  considers  the  effects  of  variable 
consideration,  the  existence  of  significant  financing  components,  non-cash  consideration,  and 
consideration payable to the customer (if any). 

2.12.1.  Government grants 
Government  grants  are  recognised  where  there  is  reasonable  assurance  that  the  grant  will  be 
received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense 
item, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for 
which  it  is  intended  to  compensate,  are  expensed.  When  the  grant  relates  to  an  asset,  it  is 
recognised as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset. 

The  Group’s  income  from  the  Australian  Government’s  Research  &  Development  (R&D)  Tax 
Incentive  and  the  Australian  Government’s  COVID-19  stimulus  packages  is  accounted  for  as  a 
government grant. 

2.12.2. 
Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.

2.13.  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. The operations of the business are regularly 
reviewed by the Group's Managing Director to determine if segment reporting is required. 

The Group operates in one industry and develops a single technology. 

The Group solely operates within the geographical location of Australia on the basis that NextGen 
Networks Limited, incorporated in New Zealand, is 100% dormant. 

2.14.  CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS 

Management discusses with the Board the development, selection and disclosure of the Group's 
critical accounting policies and estimates and the application of these policies and estimates. The 
estimates  and  judgements  that  have  a  significant  risk  of  causing  a  material  adjustment  to  the 
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. 

2.14.1.  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 Group 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  that  directors'  best  estimate,  pending  an 
assessment by tax authorities in relevant jurisdictions. Refer Note 5 Income Tax. 

2.14.2.  Key Estimate – R&D Tax Incentive 
Where the Group receives the Australian Government’s R&D Tax Incentive, the Group accounts for 
the amount refundable on accrual basis. In determining the amount of the R&D provision at year 
end, there is an estimation process utilising a conservative approach. Any changes to the estimation 
are recorded in the subsequent financial year.  

2.14.3.  Share-Based Payments 
Goods or services received or acquired in a share-based payment transaction are recognised as 
an  increase  in  equity  if  the  goods  or  services  were  received  in  an  equity-settled  share-based 
payment transaction or as a liability if the goods and services were acquired in a cash settled share-
based payment transaction. 

For  equity-settled  share-based  transactions,  goods  or  services  received  are  measured  directly  at 
the fair value of the goods or services received provided this can be estimated reliably.  If a reliable 
estimate cannot be made the value of the goods or services is determined indirectly by reference 
to the fair value of the equity instrument granted using a 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. 

Transactions with employees and others providing similar services are measured by reference to the 
fair value at grant date of the equity instrument granted using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

2.14.4.  Identifying performance obligations 
The Group provides users access to its software application Frugl (App), which users can download 
from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store (Application Stores) and subscribe to the platform 
on a month-by-month basis. The subscription is a promise from the Group to the user that they will 
be allowed access to the App for the month. Granting and supporting the access to the App is the 
sole performance obligation for the Group. 

The timing of revenue recognition for the Group focuses on the successful subscription to the App 
by  the  user.  Once  the  user  has  accepted  the  terms  and  conditions  of  the  App  and  successfully 
subscribes, revenue is recognised. 

2.15.  GOING CONCERN 

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates continuity 
of  normal  business  activities  and  realisation  of  assets  and  settlement  of  liabilities  in  the  ordinary 
course of business. 

For the year ended 30 June 2022 the Group incurred a net loss of $2,242,698 (2021: $1,230,250), has 
net  current  liabilities  of  $830,825  (2021:  net  current  assets  $159,819),  a  net  cash  outflow  from 
operating activities amounting to $1,916,969 (2021: $1,497,451) and had cash available of $73,807. 

The  Directors  have  reviewed  the  business  outlook,  cash  flow  forecasts  and  immediate  capital 
requirements  and  are  of  the  opinion  that  the  use  of  the  going  concern  basis  of  accounting  is 
appropriate as the Directors believe the Group will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall 
due. In forming this view the Directors have taken into consideration the following: 

•  On  30  August  2022,  the  terms  of  the  binding  loan  facility  agreement  (“Facility”)  with  Mr 
Mathew Walker were amended, with the maturity of the Facility now on the earlier of the 
Company successfully completing a capital raising of no less than $2,000,000 and 30 June 
2023; 

•  On 28 September 2022, the Group announced that it has completed a non-renounceable 
entitlement offer (“Entitlement Offer”) to eligible shareholders on a 1 for 2 basis at $0.01 per 
Share raising $621,974 (before costs); 

•  Research and development expenditure projects are undertaken to which the Group will 

• 

seek to apply for the R&D tax incentive rebate (R&D Rebate) at 43.5%; and 
The Group’s ability to reduce operational expenditure as and when required including, but 
not  limited  to,  reviewing  all  expenditure  for  deferral  or  elimination,  until  the  Group  has 
sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due. 

The  Directors  have  carefully  assessed  the  uncertainties  relating  to  the  likelihood  of  securing 
additional funding and the Group’s ability to effectively manage its expenditures and cash flows 
from operations. 

Should  the  Group  not  be  successful  in  obtaining  adequate  funding,  adequately  reducing 
operational expenditure as required, or further defer debt facilities, there is a material uncertainty 
that may cast significant doubt as to the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern and 
whether it will be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

2.16.  ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS 

2.16.1.  Standards and Interpretations applicable to 30 June 2022 
In the year ended 30 June 2022, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards 
and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company’s operations and effective 
for the year reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2021. 

As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new 
and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Company and therefore no material change is 
necessary to Group accounting policies. 

2.16.2.  Standards  and  Interpretations  in  issue  not  yet  adopted  applicable  to  30 

June 2022 

The Directors have also reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue 
not  yet  adopted  that  are  relevant  to  the  Company  and  effective  for  the  year  reporting  periods 
beginning on or after 1 July 2022. 

As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new 
and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted on the Company and therefore 
no material change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

12.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

12.1. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 

The Group manages its  capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a 
going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and 
equity balance.  The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2021. 

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. 

12.2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES 

The  Board  of  directors  provides  services  to  business,  co-ordinates  access  to  domestic  and 
international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations 
of the  Group  through internal risk reports which analyse exposures by degree and magnitude of 
risks.  These risks include interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. 

The Group seeks to minimise the effects of these risks by making use of credit risk policies and future 
cash requirements.  These are approved by the Board of directors and are reviewed on a regular 
basis. 

The totals for each category of financial instruments, measured in accordance with AASB 9 Financial 
Instruments, as detailed in the accounting policies to these financial statements below. 

12.3. INTEREST RATE RISK 

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash reserves held with the NAB or other acceptable 
Australian  Banking  entities.    The  risk  of  interest  rate  movements  is  managed  by  the  Group  by 
maintaining an appropriate mix between short term deposits and at call deposits.  

The Group is not subject to any other interest rate risk as none of its other financial assets or liabilities 
is subject to variable interest rates. 

The Group’s exposure to interest rate on financial assets subject to variable interest rates is detailed 
in the interest rate risk sensitivity analysis section of this note.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations with financial 
liabilities.  Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of directors, which 
has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the 
Group’s short, medium, and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements.  The Group 
manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves by continuously monitoring forecast 
and  actual  cash  flows  and  identifying  when  further  capital  raising  initiatives  are  required  as 
disclosed in Note 2.1.3.  The Group presently has no significant source of operating income and it is 
reliant  on  equity  contributions  and  cooperation  of  creditors  and  lenders  to  continue  as  a  going 
concern. 

The Group is not materially exposed to liquidity risk.

STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

12.5. CREDIT RISK 

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in 
financial loss to the Group. In respect of financing activities, the Group is exposed to credit risk from 
its  operating  activities  (primarily  trade  and  other  receivables)  and  from  its  financing  activities, 
including  deposits  with  banks  and  financial  institutions.  The  Group  has  adopted  a  policy  of  only 
dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as 
a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.  The Group only transacts with entities 
that  are  rated  the  equivalent  of  investment  grade  and  above.    This  information  is  supplied  by 
independent rating agencies where available and, if not available, the Group uses other publicly 
available financial information and its own trading records to rate its major customers.  The Group’s 
exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate 
value  of  transactions  concluded  is  spread  amongst  approved  counterparties.    The  credit  risk  on 
liquid  funds  is  limited  because  the  counterparties  are  banks  with  high  credit  ratings  assigned  by 
international  credit  rating  agencies.    The  Group’s  bank  has  an  “AA-”  long  term  issuer  rating  by 
Standards & Poors (S&P).
