Dear fellow shareholders,

It is m(cid:92) privilege to once again return to the Board of Donaco International Limited albeit during a difficult period. The Compan(cid:92) has undergone a 
number of challenges both internall(cid:92) and externall(cid:92). From the significant changes in shareholding, management, business operating environment, 
travel restrictions and the arbitration settlement to the unexpected COVID-19 pandemic. 

As we enter the 2021 financial (cid:92)ear, we have completed our renewal of the Board, and now have in place a highl(cid:92) experienced executive for the 
role of Chief Executive Officer. Encouragingl(cid:92), we are seeing the earl(cid:92) signs of improved operational and financial performance as both the 
Cambodian and Vietnamese governments allowed the reopening of casino operations.

An update on the progress of the settlement of litigation over the Compan(cid:92)(cid:182)s Star Vegas business in Cambodia. All parties to the litigation agreed 
to a settlement as announced to the ASX in March 2020. However, the Compan(cid:92), DNA Star Vegas Co Ltd and Donaco Hong Kong Limited are 
parties to a Facilit(cid:92) Agreement with Mega International Commercial Bank Co Ltd (Mega Bank). Provisions of the Facilit(cid:92) Agreement require the 
Compan(cid:92) to obtain Mega Bank(cid:182)s consent to fulfil parts of the settlement agreement. The Compan(cid:92) has been in discussions with Mega Bank seeking 
the required consents and remains confident that Mega Bank will support the agreed settlement. The Compan(cid:92) advises that all the settlement 
parties have agreed to defer the settlement pa(cid:92)ments and additional lease pa(cid:92)ment whilst awaiting Mega Bank(cid:182)s consent. This significantl(cid:92) 
reduces uncertaint(cid:92) around the settlement during this process. As previousl(cid:92) advised, no net change to the cash position of the Compan(cid:92) will 
eventuate from the settlement. Furthermore, the settlement retires over 80% of the Compan(cid:92)(cid:182)s current liabilities (as at 31 December 2019) and 
preserves the Star Vegas business, which is the Compan(cid:92)(cid:182)s primar(cid:92) cash and profit generating asset.

The 2020 financial (cid:92)ear produced a disappointing result, with the Compan(cid:92) reporting a statutor(cid:92) net loss after tax of $58.9 million for the 12 
months ended 30 June 2020. This loss can be attributed to $52.6 million of non-recurring items. This primaril(cid:92) comprised a non-cash impairment 
on the carr(cid:92)ing value of the Star Vegas casino license of $50.3 million, partiall(cid:92) due to a more conservative approach applied b(cid:92) the new Board. In 
addition, a write-off of $0.2 million for trade and other receivables associated with junket programs that are being realigned, and an additional 
$2.0 million of legal costs were also incurred. There was also a net foreign exchange loss of $0.1 million.

Whilst we are disappointed to present another significant loss at the statutor(cid:92) level as we seek to resolve the litigation issues with the vendor of 
Star Vegas, nonetheless, we are encouraged that despite the disruption, both our venues continued to produce positive cash flows. Our financial 
position continues to remain solid with further debt reduction, and improved terms and covenants were secured for our Mega Bank debt, which has 
fallen to US$12.8 million (A$18.7 million as at 30 June 2020 spot rate), following the most recent repa(cid:92)ment in August 2020.  

The group recorded an EBITDA of $10.4 million for the 2020 financial (cid:92)ear, down from $29.6 million previousl(cid:92), and generated an underl(cid:92)ing net 
loss after tax of $6.3 million. Group revenues of $53.5 million were recorded, compared to $86.3 million previousl(cid:92), and the group recorded a 
negative operating cash flow of $3.2 million, albeit lower than the $25.6 million recorded last (cid:92)ear. Whilst this performance is below last (cid:92)ear(cid:182)s 
levels, it has been delivered during a period where there was significant management disruption, and we lacked senior management leadership 
and direction for the majorit(cid:92) of the financial (cid:92)ear.

The Board recognises that our aim is to create value for our shareholders, and that capital allocation is one of the most important areas of value 
creation for shareholders. We have not lost sight in the pursuit of a range of capital management initiatives such as the Entitlement Offer of A$14 
million, as financial stabilit(cid:92) is restored.  

Looking ahead to the 2021 financial (cid:92)ear, the board(cid:182)s main priorit(cid:92) will be to set the course for the Compan(cid:92) to pursue its operations under COVID-
19 and the new business norms successfull(cid:92). With the appointment of Lee Bug Hu(cid:92) as the Group Chief Executive Officer, I am confident we now 
have the leadership and experience required to deliver significantl(cid:92) improved operational and financial performance at both our properties.

I would like to take this opportunit(cid:92) to thank our shareholders for their continued support and I look forward to delivering significantl(cid:92) improved 
performance from both Star Vegas and the Aristo over the 2021 financial (cid:92)ear.

DONACO INTERNATIONAL LIMITED
ABN 28 007 424 777
30 June 2020

Dear Shareholders,

I am pleased to have this opportunity to communicate with you as the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer of Donaco International Limited.

I believe Star Vegas is an exceptional business, and even with the recently increased level of competition it remains a premier venue in the Poipet 
strip. Despite difficulties during the year under the COVID-19 pandemic, the business still had a profitable baseline performance before the closing 
of the borders between Cambodia and Thailand. I am optimistic about the improvements that can be made in the coming years.

We now have the opportunity to rework our gaming machine arrangements, utilise our ample space to introduce retail outlets, and to restructure 
our arrangements with junket operators for improved outcomes. 

We have started work on these issues with some simple early adjustments to some of our agreements with service providers in both the gaming 
and non-gaming operations, such as more accurately allocating utilities expenses which had previously been borne by Star Vegas, and closely 
monitoring labour and procurement expenses. 

For financial year 2020, the 45% decline in net gaming revenue to THB 747.8 million was compounded by a higher win rate of 3.45% but with a 
lower VIP turnover of THB 27,782 million, compared to a 2.69% win rate and THB 81,370 million turnover in the prior year. Slot machine gross 
revenue also declined significantly by 54%. Going forward, we will revisit our arrangements on these machines and may look at revising profit-
share arrangements, and seeking additional partners. Non-gaming revenue was down by 45% to THB 68.4 million, and some further changes will 
be introduced to boost the attractiveness of the non-gaming businesses.

The EBITDA decline of 63% to THB 223.8 million was due to a combination of the VIP turnover, higher staff count required for operation of the 
online gaming business, and higher marketing costs related to our events program, which drove the strong increase in visitation. We intend to look 
closely at the appropriateness of each these aspects of the business.

In Vietnam, Aristo(cid:182)s operation was also affected b(cid:92) the border closure between China and Vietnam under the COVID-19 pandemic. Whilst the full 
year results reflect the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Aristo operations had been resumed on a limited level and we are expecting a 
better performance after the reopening of the borders which is expected to occur in the second half of CY2020.

To meet the Group(cid:182)s immediate capital requirments due to the impact of COVID-19 on its operations, including making repa(cid:92)ments under the 
Group(cid:182)s loan facilit(cid:92) with Mega Bank,  the Compan(cid:92) issued a pro-rata, non-renounceable full(cid:92) underwritten entitlement offer on 3 Jul(cid:92) 2020 of 1 
new share in the Company for every 2 shares held by eligible shareholders to raise approximately US$10 million (before costs). The offer was 
subsequently completed on 27 July 2020. The funds raised will be used to meet the working capital needs of the casino operations and other 
corporate, administration and transaction costs.

The Group is optimistic that the COVID-19 situation will continue to improve in the region in which the casinos operate and the reopening of the 
casino is a positive step towards the resumption of normal operations.

As the new Group Chief Executive Officer, I have confidence in the calibre and composition of the new Board. My role and focus are entirely on 
improving the operational performance of the venues, without distraction. I believe there is significant growth potential achievable at both 
businesses, and look forward to delivering improved performance from both properties.

Review of operations and financial results

Result Highlights

Underlying net loss after tax (NLAT) of A$6.3 million, down from the restated net profit after tax (NPAT) of A$9.2 million in FY19. Revenue at Star 
Vegas and Aristo was severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic which resulted in the temporary closures of the casinos from 1 April 2020 and 
border closures between Vietnam and China, and Cambodia and Thailand. While Aristo has been allowed to reopen on 8 May 2020, it has been 
operating on a limited basis, as the border between Vietnam and China, from where most of Aristo's patrons originate, remains closed. The Star 
Vegas casino is still closed, as the Cambodia-Thailand border also remains closed.

Review of operations and financial results (continued)

Reported loss after tax was A$58.9 million, which included non-recurring items totalling negative A$52.6 million.  In contrast, the restated loss 
after tax reported in FY19 was A$198.0 million which included non-recurring items totalling negative A$207.2 million.

The non-recurring items in FY20 include the Star Vegas licence impairment charge of A$50.3 million (2019: A$186.6 million). Impairment was also 
recognised for trade and other receivables of A$0.2 million (restated 2019: A$13.8 million).  In addition, there were A$2.0 million of non-recurring 
legal fees in regard to ongoing litigation matters (2019: A$2.5 million) and a net foreign exchange loss of A$0.1 million (2019: $0.6 million). 

Excluding the non-recurring items, underlying NLAT for the Group was A$6.3 million, down from NPAT of A$9.2 million in FY19.

Venue Performances

Star Vegas - FY20 v FY19

(cid:322) Net Gaming Revenue down 45% to THB 747.8 million
(cid:322) Non-Gaming Revenue down 45% to THB 68.4 million
(cid:322)

EBITDA down 63% to THB 223.8 million
Property Level NPAT down 54% to THB 52.4 million

(cid:322)
(cid:322) VIP Gross Win rate 3.45%

Gaming revenue at Star Vegas fell 45% due to the closure of the casino on 1 April 2020 in adherence with the Cambodian government mandating 
the temporary closure of all casinos. VIP turnover decreased by 45% due to increased competition in Poipet and the emergence of unregulated 
gambling affecting the entire market. Improved junket and slot profit sharing arrangements were implemented by new management however 
these were offset by lower visitation and turnover. Operating expenses were down 33% as cost reduction measures were proactively implemented 
to minimise the COVID-19 financial impact. The casino partially reopened as of 25 September 2020, however is still operating on a limited scale 
for patrons based in Cambodia as the Cambodia-Thailand border remains closed. The limited reopening will allow the casino to test its operational 
systems whilst ensuring the health and wellbeing of its staf and visitors. The Directors will continue to maintain a tight cost control strategy while 
operations remain at limited operating capacity, and local management will have the discretion to tailor operations to local conditions.

Aristo International Hotel - FY20 v FY19

(cid:322) Net Gaming Revenue down 36% to RMB 38.7 million
(cid:322) Non-Gaming Revenue down 38% to RMB 28.0 million
(cid:322)
(cid:322)
(cid:322) VIP Gross Win rate 2.32%

EBITDA down 54% to RMB 24.2 million
Property Level NPAT down 95% to RMB 1.1 million

Aristo was temporarily closed from 1 April 2020 in adherence to the Vietnamese Government mandating the temporary closure of all casinos, and 
was allowed to reopen on 8 May 2020. However the casino operated through the rest of FY20 on a limited basis as the border with China remains 
closed. The COVID-19 impact on the FY20 result was mitigated by some extent as Aristo delivered a strong result for the first half of FY20, with 
net gaming revenue up by 42% and EBITDA up 71% compared to the prior corresponding period. Cash flow from operations remained positive as 
a result of the first half year performance. Operating expenses decreased by 19% compared to FY19, as robust cost reduction measures were 
implemented to minimise the financial impact from COVID-19. Aristo will continue to adapt to border changes with local management having the 
discretion to tailor operations to local conditions.

Capital Management

No FY20 dividend is payable due to the statutory loss, as dividends are restricted to 100% of statutory net profit after tax under the Mega Bank
loan facility. 

On 12 June 2020, Donaco received a written waiver from Mega Bank deferring its US$5 million principal repayment due on 15 June 2020 to 31 
December 2020, in light of the impact to Donaco as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Mega Bank also granted a waiver on all June 2020 
covenants until 31 December 2020, including the requirements to hold minimum cash and cash equivalents as well as to meet interest cover ratio 
and debt to EBITDA. 

Subsequent to year end, Donaco successfully completed an entitlement offer that has raised approximately A$14.4 million. Under the entitlement 
offer, 1 new share was offered for every 2 existing shares held by eligible shareholders at a price of $0.035 per new share, for a total of 
411,796,609 new shares. This entitlement offfer was fully underwritten by Mr Lee Bug Huy and Mr Lee Bug Tong. 

Under the agreement reached with Mega Bank, the proceeds of this capital injection will be used to settle the deferred principal repayment as well
as to meet the Donaco's working capital requirements.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

Apart from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as set out under Review of operations and financial results and elsewhere in the Directors'
report, there were no other significant changes in the state of affairs during the financial year. 

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

There will be no dividend declared for FY2020.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year (continued)

Resumption of casino operations

On 29 July 2020 it was confirmed that the Government of Cambodia lifted the temporary closure of casino operations. Casino operations may
resume, contingent on receiving approval from the Ministry of Health (MOH) and implementing certain preventative measures against COVID-19.
The casino partially reopened as of 25 September 2020, however is still operating on a limited scale for patrons based in Cambodia as the
Cambodia-Thailand border remains closed. 

The Company notes that Thailand has extended its state of emergency due to COVID-19 until 31 October 2020, which will likely impact the border
reopening date. As the majority of Star Vegas' visitors are from Thailand, Donaco expects patronage numbers will remain low at Star Vegas until
the border between Thailand and Cambodia is reopened.

Casino operations at the Aristo International Hotel in Lao Cai, Vietnam has been lifted since May 2020, however as the border with China remains
closed, patronage at the casino is expected to remain low as most of Aristo's patrons are Chinese residents. 

The Company is optimistic that the COVID-19 situation will continue to improve in the region in which both casinos operate and the reopening of
both casinos is a positive step towards the resumption of normal operations. 

Entitlement issue

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt casino operations in Vietnam and Cambodia and prevent resumption of normal business activities.
While both casinos have since reopened, international borders between Vietnam and China, and Cambodia and Thailand, remain closed which
adversely affects patronage at these casinos. Cost-cutting measures such as pay cuts and redundancies remain in place. To meet the company's
urgent need of capital due to the impact of COVID-19 on its operations as well as the requirement to make repayments under the company's loan
facility with Mega Bank, the company issued a pro-rata, non-renounceable fully underwritten entitlement offer on 3 July 2020 of 1 new share in the
company for every 2 shares held by eligible shareholders at a price of $0.035 for 411,796,609 new shares, to raise approximately AUD14.4 million
(before costs). The offer was subsequently completed on 27 July 2020, with a total of 113,692,949 of new shares applied for by shareholders and
the remaining 298,103,660 new shares acquired by Mr Lee Bug Tong and Mr Lee Bug Huy. Post completion of the entitlement offer and associated
underwriting, Mr Lee Bug Huy and Mr Lee Bug Tong hold a relevant interest in the Company of 42.12%, an increase from their previous interest of
17.99%. 

The funds raised will be used to make principal repayments of USD10 million (approximately AUD14.57 million at 30 June 2020 spot rate) to Mega
Bank and also to meet the working capital needs of the casino operations and other corporate, administration and transaction costs.

Appointment of new directors

Following the completion of the underwriting agreement as part of the entitlement offer noted above, Mr Lee Bug Huy and Mr Paul Porntat
Amatavivadhana have been appointed as non-executive directors to the Board of the company effective from 3 August 2020.

On 2 September 2020, two additional independent directors, Mr Andrew Phillips and Mr Issaraya Intrapaiboon were appointed to the Board, as two 
Australian-based, non-executive directors. Mr Paul Porntat Amatavivadhana was also appointed as non-executive Chairman, while Mr Lee Bug Huy 
was appointed Chief Executive Officer effective 3 September 2020. As part of this process, Chairman Mel Ashton and non-executive director Simon 
Vertullo resigned from the Board.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity's
operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future financial years.

Likely developments and expected results of operations

The company operates leisure and entertainment businesses across the Asia Pacific region.

Our largest business is the Star Vegas Resort & Club, a successful casino and hotel complex in Poipet, Cambodia, on the border with Thailand.  
Star Vegas was established in 1999, and is the largest and highest quality of the Poipet casino hotels.  The property has more than 100 gaming 
tables, more than 800 slot machines, and 385 hotel rooms.

Our flagship business is the Aristo International Hotel, a successful boutique casino in northern Vietnam, located on the border with Yunnan 
Province, China.  Established in 2002, the property is now a five star resort complex with 400 hotel rooms.  Donaco is a pioneer casino operator in 
Vietnam, and owns a 95% interest in the business, in a joint venture with the Government of Vietnam.

Star Vegas is anticipated to remain closed until the Cambodian border with Thailand reopens and its visitors who are mostly from Thailand will 
resume their patronage. While Aristo has resumed operations since May 2020, its operations will continue to be managed tightly whilst visitation 
from Chinese tourists remains low over the coming months due to the continuing closed borders between Vietnam and China. Donaco will continue 
to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely and implement measures to keep visitors and staff as safe as possible.  

Donaco is ready to resume full casino operations once the COVID-19 situation improves and international borders reopen. The strong underlying 
earnings result for the first half of the 2020 financial year provides the Board with confidence that Donaco is pivoted for stabilisation of the 
business. Donaco's operational and financial performance in FY2021 will be closely aligned to the global COVID-19 condition. There will be a 
continual focus on maintaining a tight control over operating costs, and appointment of the new Chief Executive Officer will be imminent to lead 
the business going forward.

Except as noted above, information on likely developments in the operations of the consolidated entity 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 entity.

Environmental regulations

The consolidated entity is not subject to any significant environmental regulation under Australian Commonwealth or State law.

Remuneration report (audited)

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

Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, 
directly or indirectly, including all directors. 

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

(cid:322)

Executive Summary
Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

(cid:322)
(cid:322) Details of remuneration
(cid:322) Share-based compensation
(cid:322) Additional disclosures relating to key management personnel

Executive Summary

Donaco uses a simple framework for executive remuneration, consisting of three elements:

1.

2.

3.

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits (if any)

Short-term incentives, which are paid in cash, but onl(cid:92) if executives satisf(cid:92) applicable ke(cid:92) performance indicators ((cid:179)KPIs(cid:180))

Long-term incentives, under which executives may receive annual grants of restricted shares purchased on market, but only if applicable 
KPIs are satisfied. The shares vest over a three-year period.

For short-term incentives in FY20, the following KPIs applied:

1.

2.

3.

4.

Achievement of the budgeted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) target for the Donaco Group (30%)

Achievement of the budgeted revenue target for the Star Vegas property, in Thai Baht terms (25%)

Achievement of the budgeted revenue target for the Aristo property, in Chinese Renminbi terms (25%)

Achievement of a personal KPI relating to the executive(cid:182)s individual areas of responsibilit(cid:92) (20%)

The first three KPIs were not satisfied. Two executives did satisfy or partially satisfy their personal KPI, and thus are entitled to be paid up to 20% 
of their potential incentive. Accordingly, two executives forfeited 80% to 90%, and the others forfeited 100%, of their potential incentive.

For long-term incentives in FY20, the following KPI was required to be satisfied:

1.

Achievement of the budgeted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) target for the Donaco Group 

This KPI was not satisfied, and accordingly no long-term incentives were awarded.

Shareholders should note that share price movements per se are not an applicable KPI.  Share prices are affected by many factors beyond the 
control of management.  However all of the applicable KPIs should, if achieved, have a positive impact on Donaco(cid:182)s performance, which would 
normally be reflected in the share price, subject to any external factors.  Accordingly, the remuneration framework focuses executives on matters 
that they can control, which are expected to provide benefits to shareholders through a higher share price.

In addition, the award of restricted shares under the long term incentive plan aligns the interests of executives with shareholders.  Executives 
benefit directly if the share price increases, and also suffer directly if the share prices decreases.

Remuneration report (audited) (continued)

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

Introduction

The performance of the consolidated entity depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract and 
retain high quality personnel, and motivate them to achieve high performance.

The objective of the consolidated entity's executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the 
results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, 
and it is considered to conform to the market best practice for the delivery of reward. 

Board Oversight

The Board has an established Nominations, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee (the (cid:179)Remuneration Committee(cid:180)). It is primaril(cid:92) 
responsible for setting the overall remuneration policy and guidelines for the Company, and its functions include: 

(cid:322)

(cid:322)

(cid:322)

(cid:322)

reviewing and recommending to the Board for approval, the Company's general approach towards remuneration, and to oversee the 
development and implementation of remuneration programs;

reviewing and recommending to the Board for approval, corporate goals and objectives relevant to the remuneration of the Managing 
Director/Chief Executive Officer, and evaluating the performance of the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer in light of those goals and 
objectives;

reviewing and recommending to the Board for approval, remuneration programs applicable to the Company executives, and ensuring that 
these programs differ from the structure of remuneration for non-executive directors; and

reviewing the remuneration of non-executive directors, and ensuring that the structure of non-executive directors' remuneration is clearly 
distinguished from that of executives by ensuring that non-executive directors are remunerated by way of fees, do not participate in schemes 
designed for the remuneration of executives, do not receive options or bonus payments, and are not provided with retirement benefits other 
than statutory superannuation.

Due to recent changes in the composition of the Board, all matters in respect of nomination and remuneration are currently being addressed at the 
Board level. 

Remuneration Framework

In consultation with external remuneration consultants when necessary (refer to the section 'Use of Remuneration Consultants' below), the 
Remuneration Committee has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward 
strategy of the consolidated entity.  The framework is designed to satisfy the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

(cid:322)
(cid:322)
(cid:322)
(cid:322)

aligned to shareholders(cid:182) interests
competitiveness and reasonableness
performance linkage/alignment of executive compensation
transparency

(cid:322)
(cid:322)

The remuneration framework is aligned to shareholders' interests:
has economic profit as a core component of plan design
focuses on sustained growth in shareholders wealth, consisting of growth in share price, as well as focusing the executive on key non-
financial drivers of values
attracts and retains high calibre executives

(cid:322)

The remuneration framework is also aligned to program participants' interests, in that it: 

(cid:322)
(cid:322)
(cid:322)

rewards capability and experience
reflects competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholders wealth
provides a clear structure for earning rewards

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at cost to the Company and expensed.

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structures of remuneration for non-executive directors and for executives are separate.

ABN 28 007 424 777
30 June 2020

Remuneration report (audited) (continued)

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (continued)

Non-executive directors remuneration

Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the directors. Non-executive 
directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee. The Remuneration Committee may, from time to time, 
receive advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure non-executive directors' fees and payments are appropriate and in line with 
the market.  

There are no bonuses payable to non-executive directors, and there are no termination payments for non-executive directors on retirement from 
office, other than statutory superannuation entitlements. Non-executive directors are not granted options or shares.

ASX Listing Rules require that the aggregate of non-executive directors' remuneration be determined periodically by a general meeting. The most 
recent determination was at the 2013 Annual General Meeting, where the shareholders approved a maximum aggregate remuneration of 
$750,000, including statutory superannuation contributions. 

Executive remuneration

The consolidated entit(cid:92)'s remuneration polic(cid:92) is to ensure that executive remuneration packages properl(cid:92) reflect a person(cid:182)s duties and 
responsibilities, and that remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating executives of the highest calibre. As a result, 
remuneration packages for the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer and senior executives include both fixed and performance-based 
remuneration.

The executive remuneration and reward framework has three components:

(cid:322)

(cid:322)
(cid:322)

fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary and non-monetary benefits, together with other statutory forms of remuneration such as 
superannuation and long service leave
short-term incentives, paid in cash
long term incentives, currently consisting of restricted shares purchased on market

The combination of these components comprises the executive's total remuneration.

Fixed remuneration

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits (if any), is determined by considering the scope of the 
executive(cid:182)s responsibilit(cid:92), importance to the business, competitiveness in the market, and assessed potential. The total remuneration package for 
executives includes superannuation and other non-cash benefits to reflect the total employment cost to the Company, inclusive of any fringe 
benefits tax.

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee, based on individual and business unit performance, the overall 
performance of the consolidated entity, and comparable market remuneration. 

Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle benefits) where it does not 
create any additional costs to the consolidated entity and provides additional value to the executive.

The objective of the fixed remuneration component is to attract and retain high quality executives, and to recognise market relativities and 
statutory requirements.

Short term incentives

The short term incentive (STI) framework provides senior executives with the opportunity to earn an annual cash bonus, up to a maximum 
amount of 50% of base salary.  Clear key performance indicators (KPIs) have been established by the Remuneration Committee. Achievement of 
these KPIs gives the executive an opportunity to earn a fixed percentage of their maximum STI, subject to final review and approval by the Board.

DONACO INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

ABN 28 007 424 777
30 June 2020

Remuneration report (audited) (continued)

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (continued)

For FY20, the KPIs applied and the applicable percentage of STI were:

1.

2.

3.

Achievement of the budgeted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) target for the Donaco Group. The 
applicable EBITDA target was AUD64.3m. (This KPI is worth 30% of the potential incentive)

Achievement of the budgeted revenue target for the Star Vegas property, in Thai Baht terms. The applicable revenue target was THB1.65 
billion. (25%)

Achievement of the budgeted revenue target for the Aristo property, in Chinese Renminbi terms. The applicable revenue target was 
RMB136.9 million. (25%)

4. Achievement of a personal KPI relating to the executive(cid:182)s individual areas of responsibilit(cid:92). (20%)

The objective of these KPIs is clearly designed to focus on financial criteria, including top line revenue growth, while maintaining a focus on 
disciplined cost control, as expressed through the EBITDA target for the Group.  In addition, executives also maintained a focus on key non-
financial criteria, relating to the personal KPI applicable to the individual executive(cid:182)s area of responsibilit(cid:92).

During FY20, the first three KPIs were not satisfied.  Two executives did satisfy or partially satisfy their personal KPI, and thus are entitled to be 
paid up to 20% of their potential incentive.  Accordingly, two executives forfeited 80% to 90%, and the others forfeited 100%, of their potential 
incentive.

Long term incentives

The long-term incentive ('LTI') program currently consists of restricted shares purchased on market.  This plan was adopted in FY17 to replace the 
former option plan, which was thought to be excessively complex, and could potentially result in significant dilution of shareholders.

The objective of the LTI component is to focus on sustainable shareholder value creation, as expressed through share price growth.

Under the LTI plan, the Board has actively sought to align senior executive remuneration with shareholder interests. Shares are purchased on 
market and held in an employee share trust (the Trust).  The shares will vest to the employees over the vesting period of three years. The aim of 
the scheme is to ensure that executives are motivated to think like shareholders, with a focus on taking actions that will lead to sustainable 
increases in the share price. The structure of the scheme also ensures that there is no dilution of shareholders. 

The total annual dollar value of shares to be purchased is a maximum of A$1,000,000.  The number of shares to be purchased each year will 
depend on the share price at the time that purchases take place. 

The scheme is executed in a similar manner to an on-market buy-back, allowing the Trust to stand in the market and purchase shares at 
appropriate times. However, the shares will not be cancelled, but will be held in the Trust, to be distributed to employees over the vesting period 
of three years.

LTI awards are made on an annual basis, subject to achievement of applicable KPIs.  This ensures that at any given time, the executives have at 
risk a number of LTI awards, with different vesting periods and amounts.  This helps to smooth out both the risk and the cash flow for the 
Company and for executives.  

The LTI scheme allows for an award of a maximum of 50% of base salary in the form of restricted shares, subject to achievement of applicable 
KPIs which are set annually.  For FY18, the applicable KPI related to the achievement of the budgeted EBITDA target for the Group.

During FY20 and FY19, the Trust did not purchase any shares on market.  The applicable KPI was not satisfied in both years, and accordingly no 
awards of shares were made.  

Relationship between remuneration policy and company performance

As detailed above, Donaco(cid:182)s remuneration polic(cid:92) is directl(cid:92) linked to compan(cid:92) performance, particularl(cid:92) in relation to top-line revenue growth and 
cost control, to ultimately create long-term shareholder value.  STI and LTI awards are dependent on defined KPIs being met, which are primarily 
financial in nature, and are at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee.

DONACO INTERNATIONAL LIMITED
ABN 28 007 424 777
30 June 2020

Remuneration report (audited) (continued)

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (continued)

Over the six-year period since FY15, Revenue and EBITDA have increased at an average annual growth rate of 21.25% and 79.94% respectively, 
driven by Star Vegas becoming part of the Group at the beginning of FY16.

Donaco(cid:182)s share price has been declining in recent (cid:92)ears, reflecting lower earnings brought on b(cid:92) the Star Vegas vendor(cid:182)s breaches of the non-
compete agreement, and market concerns over the resulting legal disputes, and in FY20 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The Nominations, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee considers that the remuneration framework has an appropriate mix of fixed 
and performance based remuneration.  Since performance during FY20 did not meet expectations, executives forfeited all or the majority of their 
short term incentive, and also forfeited all of their long term incentive.  

The Committee also considers that the remuneration framework in place will assist to increase shareholder wealth if maintained over the coming 
years, subject to any adjustments that are necessary or desirable to reflect the Company's circumstances. 

Use of remuneration consultants
There were no remuneration consultants engaged during the financial years ended 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019.

Criteria for performance-based remuneration
The short-term incentive ('STI') program is designed to align the targets of executives with the targets of the consolidated entity.  STI payments 
are granted to executives based on specific annual targets and key performance indicators ('KPIs') being achieved. The Board, advised by the 
Nominations, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee, applied these criteria in determining the award of performance-based 
remuneration during the year. 

Performance-based bonuses were paid in October 2019. $47,020 cash bonuses were awarded to the Executive Directors and other Key 
Management Personnel. A break up of the bonuses paid is in the tables above.

For performance during FY20, the relevant criteria for the award of bonuses relate to revenue growth at each operating business, namely the Star 
Vegas and the Aristo International Hotel, as well as the achievement of budgeted EBITDA targets for the consolidated entity, and a personal KPI 
for each executive.

guilt(cid:92) of serious misconduct or wilful neglect of duties. Otherwise, the compan(cid:92) ma(cid:92) terminate the contracts b(cid:92) giving six months(cid:182) notice or pa(cid:92)ing

Indemnity and insurance of auditor

The company has not, during or since the end of the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the auditor of the company or any related

During the financial year, the company has not paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the auditor of the company or any related entity.

Proceedings on behalf of the company

No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of the company, or to

those proceedings.

Non-audit services

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

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

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

(cid:322)

(cid:322)

all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the 
auditor; and
none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics 
for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or 
auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the company, acting as advocate for 
the company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

DONACO INTERNATIONAL LIMITED
Notes to financial statements
30 June 2020

Note 1. Significant accounting policies

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

Going concern
At 30 June 2020, the consolidated entity recorded net current liabilities of A$54.6 million. The consolidated entity recorded a net loss after tax of 
A$8.4 million before impairment (net loss after tax of A$58.9 million after impairment charge of A$50.5 million), and net operating cash outflows 
of A$3.2 million for the year ended on that date.

The net current liabilities primarily arise due to the inclusion of a management fee of A$23 million (as at 30 June 2020 spot rate) claimed by the 
vendor of the Star Vegas business, as well as the A$25 million (as at 30 June 2020 spot rate) loan from Mega Bank that is due for repayment by 
28 June 2021. As of 2 March 2020, the consolidated entity and the vendor have reached settlement agreements over all litigation matters (see 
note 39). Pursuant to the settlement agreements, US$18 million (AU$26.2 million at 30 June 2020 spot rate) is payable by the consolidated entity 
in respect of unpaid management fees plus interest. As part of the settlement agreements, Donaco is entitled to receive US$38 million (AU$55.4 
million at 30 June 2020 spot rate) to remove the non-competition and non-solicitation clauses previously agreed in the Share Sale Agreement over 
the Star Vegas business. Donaco will also be required to pay any outstanding rent and an additional lease payment of US$20 million (AU$29.2 
million at 30 June 2020 spot rate) to the Landlord. Under the terms of the settlement agreements the US$18 million (AU$26.2 million at 30 June 
2020 spot rate) of unpaid management fees will partially offset the US$38 million receivable (AU$55.4 million at 30 June 2020 spot rate). The net 
amount receivable of US$20 million (AU$29.2 million at 30 June 2020 spot rate) will be used to offset the additional lease payment due of the 
same amount. No net cash flow will therefore arise from the settlement. As part of its loan facility agreement with Mega Bank, Donaco is required 
to obtain consent from Mega Bank to fulfil parts of the settlement agreements. All settlement parties have agreed to defer the settlement 
payments and additional lease payment whilst awaiting Mega Bank's consent which has not been provided to date.

In light of the impact to the consolidated entity as result of the COVID-19 global pandemic, Mega Bank has agreed to defer the US$5 million 
(AU$7.3 million as at 30 June 2020 spot rate) principal repayment that was due in June 2020 under the loan facility agreement to December 2020. 
Mega Bank has also granted a waiver on all June 2020 covenants under the loan facility agreement until 31 December 2020, including the 
requirements to hold minimum cash and cash equivalents as well as to meet interest cover ratio and debt to EBITDA. As of the date of this report, 
the consolidated entity has successfully completed an entitlement offer that has raised approximately A$14.4 million. Under the agreement 
reached with Mega Bank, the proceeds of this capital injection will be used to settle the deferred principal repayment. There remains a funding 
shortfall between the capital raised of A$14.4 million and the loan balance of A$25 million (as at 30 June 2020 spot rate) that is due for repayment 
by June 2021. Donaco will need to raise additional capital or debt in order to meet working capital requirements as well as the loan covenants 
under the Mega Bank loan facility by 31 December 2020. It is not certain that Mega Bank will agree to further deferral of repayments and/or 
waiver of the covenants under the loan facility agreement. Failure to raise capital could have a material adverse effect on Donaco's activities and 
financial position.

While there has been a tentative resumption of casino operations since the Vietnamese and Cambodian governments lifted temporary closure 
orders in May and July 2020 respectively, patronage numbers at these casinos are still expected to remain low as international borders with 
Vietnam and Cambodia remain closed and the majority of the visitors to these casinos are foreign patrons. It is therefore uncertain as to when 
these businesses may be fully operational given the current COVID-19 environment. It is expected that there will be a direct impact on the 
profitability of these casinos, however the extent of this effect is unknown. The Board of Directors acknowledges that there is significant 
uncertainty over Donaco's ability to meet its working capital requirements and the loan covenants under the Mega Bank loan facility. In the event 
that Donaco is unable to negotiate a deferral of repayments and/or waiver of the covenants under the loan agreement with Mega Bank and/or 
there is an extended period before the resumption of normal casino operations, then this could have a material impact on the consolidated entity 
continuing as a going concern.

New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The following standard became applicable for the current reporting period and the consolidated entity had to change its accounting policies as a 
result of adoption:

AASB 16 Leases

AASB 16 Leases primarily affects the accounting by lessees and results in the recognition of almost all leases on the balance sheet. The standard 
removes the current distinction between operating and financing leases and requires recognition of an asset (the right to use the leased item) and 
a financial liability to pay rentals for virtually all lease contracts. An optional exemption exists for short-term and low-value leases.

The consolidated entity has applied AASB 16 for the first time in the current period using the simplified transition approach. Under this approach, 
the standard is applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognised at the date of initial application. No 
restatement of comparative information was therefore required to be made.

On adoption of AASB 16, the consolidated entity recognised right-of-use assets and lease liabilities relating to the commercial property leases in 
Cambodia and Vietnam, which had previously been classified as 'operating leases' under the principles of AASB 117 Leases . Under the modified 
transition approach, the right-of-use assets were recognised based on the amount equal to the lease liabilities. No adjustment is therefore required 
to retained earnings. The lease liabilities were recognised based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the 
incremental borrowing rate as at the date of initial application (see note 23). The incremental borrowing rates used for determination of the 
remaining lease payments were 6.53% and 9.5% for Cambodia and Vietnam respectively.

In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the consolidated entity has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard: 

(cid:194) accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 Jul(cid:92) 2019 as short-term leases; and

(cid:194) accounting for operating leases for which the underl(cid:92)ing asset has a limited value as at 1 Jul(cid:92) 2019 as short-term leases.

Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over income tax treatments

Interpretation 23 explains how to recognise and measure deferred and current income tax assets and liabilities where there is uncertainty over a 
tax treatment. An uncertain tax treatment is any tax treatment applied by an entity where there is uncertainty over whether that treatment will be 
accepted by the tax authority.

This amendment did not have any impact on the amounts recognised in prior periods and is not expected to significantly affect the current or 
future periods.

The consolidated entity also elected to early adopt the following standard: 

AASB 2020-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, rent concessions have been granted to lessees. The AASB has issued AASB 2020-4 as a result of the
issuance of amendments to IFRS 16 Leases by the IASB in June 2020. This standard amends AASB 16 Leases to provide a practical expedient that
permits lessees not to assess whether rent concessions that occur as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and meet specified
conditions are lease modifications and, instead, to account for those rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications. This standard applies
to annual periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020, however is available for early adoption. 

The consolidated entity has elected to early adopt AASB 2020-4. The consolidated entity has applied such practical expedient to all of its COVID-19-
related rent concessions. Total COVID-19-related rent concessions of US$4,000 (AU$5,828 converted at the spot rate) have been recognised in the
consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income.

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 2020. These standards are not expected to have a material 
impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

Basis of preparation

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

Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair 
value through profit or loss and derivative financial instruments.

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

Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary 
information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 33.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Donaco International Limited ('company' or 'parent 
entity') as at 30 June 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Donaco International Limited and its subsidiaries together 
are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.

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

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

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Principles of consolidation (continued)

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

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the consolidated entity. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity 
are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.

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

Operating segments

Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports 
provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and 
assessing their performance.

Foreign currency translation

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Donaco International Limited's functional and presentation currency.

DNA Star Vegas Co Ltd, a subsidiary within the Group, has casino and hotel operations in Cambodia. Its functional currency is Thai Baht. 

Donaco Singapore Pte Ltd has an interest in the Lao Cai International Hotel Joint Venture Company which operates a casino and hotel in Vietnam. 
The functional currency of the Joint Venture Company is Vietnamese Dong.

The subsidiaries of Donaco that operate in the aforementioned foreign countries are consolidated into the Hong Kong group (Star Vegas Group) 
and the Singapore Group (Aristo Group). At this level, the presentation currency is US Dollar.

Subsequently, these consolidated groups are consolidated with the Australian operations and converted to Australian dollars. 

Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign 
exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of 
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues 
and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the 
dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the 
foreign currency reserve in equity.

Goodwill, casino licence and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the 
foreign operations and translated at the closing rate.

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised when control of the good or service is transferred to the customer, and only to the extent that it is highly probable that a 
significant reversal will not occur. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Casino revenue

Revenue at the playing tables is recognised upon the differences between chips at the closing and chips at the opening of each table plus chips 
transferred from the playing table to the cage, less chips transferred from the cage to the playing table. Revenue is recognised on a net basis after 
commission and profit sharing is paid to junket operators.

Revenue from slot machines represents the amount received over the exchange counter less the amount returned to customers and profit-sharing 
paid.

Sale of goods

The consolidated entity sale of goods consist of food and beverages sales. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of sale, when 
a group entity sells a product to the customer.

Rendering of services
Revenue from the provision of accommodation and hospitality services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are provided to 
the customer.

Complimentary goods or services

For gaming transactions that include complimentary goods or services being provided to customers, the consolidated entity allocates revenue from 
the gaming transaction to the good or service provided based on the standalone selling price which is the arm's length price for that good or 
service available to the public. 

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.

Government grants and incentives
Government grants and incentives are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grants and incentives will be 
received and the consolidated entity will comply with all the attached conditions.

Income tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for 
each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the 
adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

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

(cid:322)

(cid:322)

When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not 
a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal 
can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

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

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

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

Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the consolidated entity's normal 
operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the 
asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting 
period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for 
the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement 
of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with 
original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of 
changes in value.

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any 
allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the 
carrying amount directly. An allowance account (provision for impairment of trade receivables) is used when there is objective evidence that the 
Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. 

The amount of impairment loss is determined using the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected 
loss allowance. The expected loss rates used in measuring the expected credit losses are based on historical loss rates, adjusted to reflect current 
and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the debtors to settle the receivables. These factors include 
significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or 
delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade receivables are impaired. 

The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. When a trade 
receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent year, it is written off against the 
allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the consolidated statement of 
comprehensive income. 

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses. 

Inventories

Inventories include consumable stores, food and beverages and are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a 
first-in-first-out basis and comprises all costs of purchases, conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location 
and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and 
selling expenses.

When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is 
recognised. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realizable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the 
period of the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories, arising from an increase in net realisable 
value, is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, in the period in which the reversal occurs.

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Property, plant and equipment

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

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

Buildings and structures
Leasehold improvements
Machinery and equipment
Motor vehicles
Office equipment and other
Furniture and fittings
Consumables

25-50 years
2-5 years
5-15 years
5-6 years
3-8 years
3-8 years
1-8 years

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

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the consolidated entity. 
Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.

Leases

As stated in 'New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted ', the consolidated entity has changed its accounting
policy for leases.

Until 30 June 2019, leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership were not transferred to the consolidated entity as
lessee were classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) were charged to
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the year of the lease.

From 1 July 2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the lease asset is available
for use by the consolidated entity. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include
the net present value of fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable.

The lease payments are discounted using the consolidated entity's incremental borrowing rates.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

 - the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability; and

 - any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Intangible assets

Land rights

The intangible asset includes costs incurred to acquire interests in the usage of land in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam for the original hotel, 
located in Lao Cai. The term of the agreement is 30 years from the initial licencing date of 19 July 2002. These land use rights are stated at cost 
less accumulated amortisation.  Amortisation is calculated on a straight line basis over a period of 30 years, from the licencing date. At the expiry 
of the land term it is expected that the relevant State body will consider an application for extension.

Casino license

The Group consider casino licenses to be intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Accordingly, they are not amortised and are 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 casino licenses are recognised in the profit or loss.

Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently 
if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment 
losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed.

Prepaid construction costs

Amounts recognised as prepaid construction costs relate to tranche payments made to third party developers in connection with the construction 
of the new Lao Cai Casino.  Tranche payments are made in advance of construction work being performed in accordance with the terms of the 
contractor agreements, however once associated works have been completed an amount equal to the tranche payment is transferred from prepaid 
construction costs to construction in progress. Once recognised as part of construction in progress the amounts are then carried on the Statement 
of Financial Position at cost, until such time as the asset is completed and ready for its intended use. Work in progress is not depreciated, but 
tested for impairment annually.  Once ready for its intended use an amount equal to the cost of the completed asset will be transferred to property 
plant and equipment and accounted for in accordance with the consolidated entit(cid:92)(cid:182)s accounting polic(cid:92) for propert(cid:92) plant and equipment.

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Impairment of non-financial assets

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

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

Trade and other payables

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

Borrowings

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently 
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, the loans or borrowings are 
classified as non-current.

Finance costs

Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they 
are incurred including:

- interest on short term and long term borrowings.

Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be wholly settled within 12 
months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Non-accumulating sick leave is 
expensed to profit or loss when incurred.

Other long-term employee benefits

The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be wholly settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in non-
current liabilities, provided there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability. The liability is measured as the present value of 
expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit 
method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected 
future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that 
match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Defined contribution superannuation expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Share-based payments

Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees. Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over 
shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using an amended Black-
Scholes Merton model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, an exercise price multiple, the share price at grant date 
and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together 
with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive 
payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.

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

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

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

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

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

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Fair value measurement

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

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their 
economic best 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 is available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant 
observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

The financial instruments recognised at fair value in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position have been analysed and classified using a fair 
value hierarchy reflecting the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy consist of the following levels: 

a. Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1) 
b.

Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly 
(derived from prices) (level 2), and 

c.

Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).

The directors consider that the carrying amount of all financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements approximate their fair 
value.

Issued capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

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

Where the consolidated entit(cid:92) purchases the compan(cid:92)(cid:182)s equit(cid:92) instruments, for example as the result of a share bu(cid:92)-back or a share-based 
payment plan, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity 
attributable to the owners of Donaco International Limited as treasury shares until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such ordinary 
shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income 
tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the owners of Donaco International Limited.

Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, determined or announced by the directors on or before the end of the financial year 
but not distributed at balance date. 

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Donaco International Limited, excluding any costs of 
servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for 
bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect 
of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to 
have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes

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

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

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

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

Notes to financial statements

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

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

Share-based payment transactions

The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at 
the date at which they are granted. The fair value of options is determined by using an amended Black-Scholes Merton model taking into account 
the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-
based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact 
profit or loss and equity.

The value of shares issued to employees is based on the market value of shares traded on the ASX at the time of issue.

Estimation of useful lives of assets

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

The casino licence is stated at cost less impairment losses, if any. The licence issued by the royal government of Cambodia is renewable annually 
and deemed to be with indefinite useful life, and therefore should not be amortised. Its useful life is reviewed at each reporting period to 
determine whether events and circumstances continue to exist to support indefinite useful life assessment. Impairment testing by comparing its 
recoverable amount with its carrying amount is performed annually. In the event that the expected future economic benefits are no longer 
probable of being recovered, the licences are written down to their recoverable amount.

Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
The consolidated entity tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill and other 
indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 1. The recoverable amounts 
of cash-generating units have been determined based on the higher of value-in-use calculations and fair value less costs of disposal. These 
calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the 
estimated future cash flows.

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

Employee share trust and option trust

The consolidated entit(cid:92) has engaged an external unrelated third part(cid:92) to form trusts to administer the Group(cid:182)s emplo(cid:92)ee share schemes. The 
consolidated entity has no ownership interest in the trusts and the trusts are not consolidated as they are not controlled by the consolidated entity. 
In determining whether or not the consolidated entit(cid:92) had control over the trusts, management considered the trust(cid:182)s status as an independent 
trust with an independent trustee, which holds the assets for the benefit of the employees rather than the consolidated entity.

Allowance for expected credit losses

The consolidated entity reviews the collectability of trade receivables on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written 
off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance for expected credit losses is raised when there is objective evidence that the 
consolidated entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The amount of expected credit loss 
is determined using the simplified approach which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. The expected loss rates used in measuring the expected 
credit losses are based on historical loss rates, adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the 
ability of the debtors to settle the receivables. These factors include significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will 
enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade receivables are 
impaired.  The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated 
future cash flows.

Estimating incremental borrowing rate for leases

The incremental borrowing rate is used to measure lease liabilities, if the consolidated entity is unable to readily determine the interest rate 
implicit in the lease. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the lessee would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and 
with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The 
incremental borrowing rate therefore reflects what the lessee would have had to pay, which requires estimation when no observable rates are 
available or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease. 

Lease term

As part of the settlement agreements, an amended perpetual lease agreement has been executed as of 2 March 2020 in relation to the DNA Star 
Vegas lease of the land in Poi Pet, Cambodia (see note 23). This amended lease agreement grants Donaco security of tenure over the Star Vegas 
casino until 15 June 2115. However as the settlement agreements require consent from Mega Bank which have yet to be provided, the 
consolidated entity has determined that the the lease liability was to be calculated as at 30 June 2020 over the remaining 45 years of the original 
lease.

Note 3. Operating segments

Identification of reportable operating segments

The consolidated entity is organised into three operating segments: Casino operations in Vietnam, Casino operations in Cambodia and Corporate 
operations. These operating segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified 
as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. There is no 
aggregation of operating segments.

The consolidated entity is domiciled in Australia and operates predominantly in six countries: Australia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia 
and Hong Kong. Casino operations are segmented geographically between casino operations in Vietnam and Cambodia.

The CODM reviews EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation). The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to 
the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements.

The information reported to the CODM is on a monthly basis.

Types of products and services
The principal products and services of each of these operating segments are as follows:

Casino Operations - Vietnam

Income tax includes obligation payments totalling $2,362,161 (2019: $3,002,735) payable to the Ministry of Economy and Finance of 
Cambodia ((cid:179)MOEF(cid:180)).

As at the date of this report, the Casino Law in respect of casino taxes in Cambodia is yet to be introduced. The MOEF levies an Obligatory 
Tax Payment, payable on a monthly basis. The Obligatory Tax Payment is comprised of a fixed gaming tax and a fixed non-gaming tax 
payment.  In addition, an annual casino licence fee of USD30,000 is paid. 

In respect of gaming activities, DNA Star Vegas Co., Ltd (DNA Star Vegas) has to pay the obligatory payment which is a fixed gaming tax 
and with the payment of this fixed gaming tax, DNA Star Vegas will be exempted from all categories of taxes on gaming activities including 
advance profits tax, minimum tax and advance tax on distribution of dividends.

As for non-gaming obligatory payment, it is considered as a composite of various other taxes such as salary tax, fringe benefit tax, 
withholding tax, value-added tax, patent tax, tax on rental of moveable and unmoveable assets, minimum tax, advance profit tax, 
advertising tax and specific tax on entertainment services.

Monthly payments for the obligatory payment are due on the first week of the following month. DNA Star Vegas has made the obligatory 
payment in a timely manner.

In the event of late payment within 7 days from the due date, there will be a penalty of 2% on the late payment and interest of 2% per 
month. In addition, after 15 days when official government notice is issued to DNA Star Vegas for the late payment, an additional penalty of 
25% will be imposed. In the case where DNA Star Vegas does not comply with the abovementioned requirements, the MOEF will not issue 
the casino licences to DNA Star Vegas in the successive years.

Certain amendments to the Law of Investment ("LOI") and Law of Taxation ("LOT") were promulgated in March 2003. Under the 
amendments made to the LOT, distribution of dividends to non-residents will be subject to a withholding tax on the distribution of net of 20% 
corporate tax, at a rate of 14%, resulting in a net distribution tax of 31.2%. These amendments are not applicable to DNA Star Vegas as they 
will be regulated by the Casino Law which is yet to be enacted.

(b)

The parent entity has not brought to account tax losses with a tax effect of $955,546 (2019: $1,063,184).

Impairment testing of goodwill
Goodwill is monitored by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ('CODM') at the cash generating unit level. CODM reviews business performance 
based on geography and type of business. It has identified two reportable cash generating units, Lao Cai and DNA Star Vegas. A business-level 
summary of the goodwill allocation is presented below:

The recoverable amount of the cash generating unit of Lao Cai has been determined based on the value in use calculation. To calculate this, cash 
flow projections are based on financial budgets approved by senior management covering a five year period.

The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis.  To do so, the Group employs a value in use calculation using cash 
flow projections from financial budgets approved by senior management. Management has forecast a strong growth rate in budgeted gross margin 
for FY20 based on the growth in revenue from Aristo(cid:182)s main gaming floor, VIP gaming, and the increase in the number of slot machines. The new 
hotel room, entertainment, restaurant and bar revenue lines, with associated marketing programs, will increase visitation to the new hotel, which 
will also contribute to overall revenue growth. Gross margin projections for future (cid:92)ears are based on past performance and management(cid:182)s 
expectations for future performance in each segment.

Management determined budgeted gross margin based on past performance and its expectations for the future and are considered to be 
reasonably achievable. The weighted average growth rates used are consistent with forecasts included in industry reports. The discount rates used 
reflect specific risks relating to the relevant segments and the countries in which they operate.

Notes to financial statements

Note 13. Non-current assets - intangibles (continued)

Lao Cai - Goodwill (continued)

The recoverable amount calculation for goodwill is most sensitive to changes in growth rate and EBIT margin on sales. Based on sensitivity 
analysis performed, no reasonable change in these assumptions would give rise to an impairment.

No impairment has been recognised for the year ended 30 June 2020 (2019: nil).

DNA Star Vegas - Casino Licence

The casino licence relates to the licence to operate the DNA Star Vegas casino acquired on 1 July 2015. The licence is stated at cost less any 
impairment losses. This intangible asset is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that 
the carrying value may be impaired.

The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit of DNA Star Vegas has been determined based on its value in use. Independent valuations of 
the 100% equity interest in DNA Star Vegas Company Limited were undertaken as at 31 December 2019 and as at 30 June 2020. As at 31 
December 2019, adjustments were made to determine the value in use of the cash-generating unit which was reasonably determined to be 
$160,544,041 (US$112,480,937 converted at the spot rate). Based on the valuation undertaken as at 30 June 2020, the value in use was 
determined to be $115,413,396 (US$79,207,601 converted at the spot rate).

The valuation as at 30 June 2020 was determined using budgeted gross margin based on past performance and its expectations for the future and 
are considered to be reasonably achievable. The valuation is based on a 5-year cash flow forecast period. The valuation uses a contraction rate of 
61.2% in the first year, followed by a growth rate of 52.9% in the second year and a growth rate of 3% in subsequent years. The discount rate 
used of 16.94% reflects specific risks relating to the relevant segments and the countries in which they operate. The discount rate has been 
decreased compared to the prior period rate used of 18.6%. The valuation was determined using a foreign exchange rate between Thai Baht and 
US Dollar of 30.913 THB:1 USD. Capital expenditure of THB6 million (AU$0.28 million at the spot rate) for each year over the forecast period was 
included in the valuation.

Based on the valuation, the Directors determined an impairment loss of $50,326,357 needed to be recognised as at 30 June 2020 (2019: 
$186,644,711).

Apart from the impairment loss, the movement in the historical cost of the casino license is due to foreign exchange translation as the licence is 
denominated in foreign currency.

Land right

Intangible asset of $28,611 (2019: $30,127) relates to a 30-year land use right in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Land use right is stated at 
cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. The amortisation period is 30 years. This intangible asset is tested for impairment 
annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

Construction relates to costs incurred for the construction of the new Aristo Casino.

Amounts previously recognised as prepaid construction costs are transferred to construction in progress, once associated works have been 
completed.

Once recognised as part of construction in progress the amounts are then carried on the statement of financial position at cost, until such time as 
the asset is completed and ready for its intended use. Work in progress is not depreciated, but tested for impairment annually. Once ready for its 
intended use an amount equal to the cost of the completed asset will be transferred to property plant and equipment or non current prepayment 
and accounted for in accordance with the consolidated entit(cid:92)(cid:182)s accounting polic(cid:92) for each asset class.

Note 23. Leases

On 15 June 2015, DNA Star Vegas Co., Ltd entered into a lease of 50 years, with rent payable monthly. The lease is in relation to land of
approximately 232,189 square meters located in Poi Pet, Cambodia. The remaining lease term as at 30 June 2020 is 45 years. Under the terms of
the lease agreement, the lease renews automatically for a further 50 years to the extent allowable under Cambodian laws. However, following an
application undertaken by the Landlord of DNA Star Vegas, an award was made on 21 August 2019 in the Cambodian arbitration proceedings
entitling the Landlord to terminate the lease for the land occupied by DNA Star Vegas. In response, the Company had filed an appeal with the
Appeal Court and sought to enter into settlement negotiations with the Landlord to preserve the lease. The dispute between the Landlord of DNA
Star Vegas and the company is now resolved, following the settlement of all litigation matters between the Thai vendor (including the Landlord)
and Donaco. As part of the settlement agreements, an amended perpetual lease agreement has been executed as of 2 March 2020 in relation to
the DNA Star Vegas lease, which grants Donaco security of tenure over the Star Vegas casino until 15 June 2115. This follows an additional lease
payment of US$20 million to the Landlord. Further details of the settlement agreements are disclosed in note 39.

The settlement agreements require consent from Mega Bank to be finalised, which has not yet been provided. In any case, it is noted that all legal
actions will now cease. See notes 1 and 39 for further information regarding the settlement of the legal actions.

Pending the outstanding consent from Mega Bank and completion of the settlement agreements, the lease liability and right-of-use asset have
been calculated as at 30 June 2020 over the remaining 45 years of the original lease. 

Lao Cai International Hotel Joint Venture Company Limited has a non-cancellable operating lease commitment over a 50-year term in respect of its
casino premises in Lao Cai, Vietnam. The lease commenced 8 April 2011 and the remaining lease term as at 30 June 2020 is approximately 41
years.

On adoption of AASB 16 Leases , the company has applied the new rules retrospectively from 1 July 2019. The property leases previously
recognised as operating leases are recognised as right-of-use assets and corresponding liabilities as of the date of application. Each lease payment
is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the statement of comprehensive income over the lease period.
The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

(i) Amounts recognised in the statement of financial position

The statement of financial position shows the following amounts relating to leases:

Right-of-use assets (recognised as part of property, plant and equipment)
Properties

Lease liability (recognised as part of trade and other payables)

The lease liability has been measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments over the term of the lease. For the lease in relation to
the land in Cambodia, the lease payments were discounted using an incremental borrowing rate of 6.53%, while the lease payments for the lease
in Vietnam were discounted using a discount rate of 9.5%. 

(i) Amounts recognised in the statement of comprehensive income

The statement of comprehensive income shows the following amounts relating to leases:

Depreciation of right-of-use asset (recognised as part of depreciation expense)

Interest expense (included in finance cost)

The total cash outflow for leases in 2020 was $293,772.

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

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

Capital risk management

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

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

The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to 
the current parent entity's share price at the time of the investment.

The consolidated entity is subject to certain financing arrangements and meeting these is given priority in all capital risk management decisions. 
The financing arrangements contain certain covenants relating to interest cover (the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated finance charges), 
and debt ratio (the ratio of consolidated net debt to EBITDA), which apply to Donaco Hong Kong Limited. In addition, covenants relating to the 
debt equity ratio (the ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated total equity), and minimum cash holdings, apply to the consolidated entity.

In light of the impact to the consolidated entity as result of the COVID-19 global pandemic, in addition to deferring the principal repayment of 
US$5 million (AU$7 million at spot rate) that was due in June 2020 under the loan facility agreement to December 2020, Mega Bank has also 
granted a waiver on all June 2020 covenants under the loan facility agreement until 31 December 2020, including the requirements to hold 
minimum cash and cash equivalents as well as to meet interest cover ratio and debt to EBITDA. There were therefore no events of default during 
the financial year. 

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 2019 financial statements.

Treasury shares are shares in Donaco International Limited that are held by Smartequity EIS Pty Ltd for the purpose of issuing shares under the 
employee share scheme. Shares issued to employees are recognised on a first-in-first-out basis.

Note 28. Financial instruments

Financial risk management objectives
The consolidated entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), credit 
risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated entity's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to 
minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity uses different methods to 
measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and 
other price risks and ageing analysis for credit risk.

Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors ('the Board'). These 
policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the consolidated entity and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits. 
Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the consolidated entity's operating units. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly 
basis.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rate and foreign exchange rate will affect the consolidated entity's income.

Foreign currency risk

The consolidated entity is exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations in relation to cash generated for working capital purposes, denominated in 
foreign currencies and net investments in foreign operations, in which the functional currencies are Vietnamese Dong and Thai Baht.

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in a currency 
that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting. An assessment of the 
sensitivit(cid:92) of the consolidated entit(cid:92)(cid:182)s exposure to interest rate movements was performed, and was found to be immaterial for the purposes of 
this disclosure.

Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters and material movements are not expected. The consolidated entity does 
not enter into any forward exchange contracts to buy or sell specified foreign currencies.

Note 28. Financial instruments (continued)

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the consolidated entity. The 
consolidated entity has a strict code of credit, including obtaining agency credit information, confirming references and setting appropriate credit 
limits. The consolidated entity obtains guarantees where appropriate to mitigate credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting 
date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of 
financial position and notes to the financial statements. The consolidated entity does not hold any collateral.

Liquidity risk

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

The consolidated entity maintains cash to meet all its liquidity requirements and manages its liquidity by carefully monitoring cash outflows due in 
a da(cid:92)-to-da(cid:92) and week-to-week basis. Furthermore, the consolidated entit(cid:92)(cid:182)s long term liquidit(cid:92) needs are identified in its annual Board approved 
budget, and updated on a quarterly basis through revised forecasts.

Remaining contractual maturities

The following tables detail the consolidated entity's remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based 
on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid.

Cambodia-Thailand border remains closed. 

The Company notes that Thailand has extended its state of emergency due to COVID-19 until 31 October 2020, which will likely impact the border
reopening date. As the majority of Star Vegas' visitors are from Thailand, Donaco expects patronage numbers will remain low at Star Vegas until
the border between Thailand and Cambodia is reopened.

Casino operations at the Aristo International Hotel in Lao Cai, Vietnam has been lifted since May 2020, however as the border with China remains
closed, patronage at the casino is expected to remain low as most of Aristo's patrons are Chinese residents. 

The Company is optimistic that the COVID-19 situation will continue to improve in the region in which both casinos operate and the reopening of
both casinos is a positive step towards the resumption of normal operations.

Note 35. Events after the reporting period (continued)

Entitlement issue

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt casino operations in Vietnam and Cambodia and prevent resumption of normal business activities.
While both casinos have since reopened, international borders between Vietnam and China, and Cambodia and Thailand, remain closed which
adversely affects patronage at these casinos. Cost-cutting measures such as pay cuts and redundancies remain in place. To meet the company's
urgent need of capital due to the impact of COVID-19 on its operations as well as the requirement to make repayments under the company's loan
facility with Mega Bank, the company issued a pro-rata, non-renounceable fully underwritten entitlement offer on 3 July 2020 of 1 new share in the
company for every 2 shares held by eligible shareholders at a price of $0.035 for 411,796,609 new shares, to raise approximately AUD14.4 million
(before costs). The offer was subsequently completed on 27 July 2020, with a total of 113,692,949 of new shares applied for by shareholders and
the remaining 298,103,660 new shares acquired by Mr Lee Bug Tong and Mr Lee Bug Huy. Post completion of the entitlement offer and associated
underwriting, Mr Lee Bug Huy and Mr Lee Bug Tong hold a relevant interest in the Company of 42.12%, an increase from their previous interest of
17.99%.

The funds raised will be used to make principal repayments to Mega Bank and also to meet the working capital needs of the casino operations and
other corporate, administration and transaction costs.

Appointment of new directors

Following the completion of the underwriting agreement as part of the entitlement offer noted above, Mr Lee Bug Huy and Mr Paul Porntat
Amatavivadhana have been appointed as non-executive directors to the Board of the company effective from 3 August 2020. 

On 2 September 2020, two additional independent directors, Mr Andrew Phillips and Mr Issaraya Intrapaiboon were appointed to the Board, as two
Australian-based, non-executive directors. Mr Paul Porntat Amatavivadhana was also appointed as non-executive Chairman, while Mr Lee Bug Huy
was appointed Chief Executive Officer effective 3 September 2020. As part of this process, Chairman Mel Ashton and non-executive director Simon
Vertullo resigned from the Board.

The Directors are not aware of any other events subsequent to the reporting period that may have a material impact on the financial statements.

Note 39. Contingent assets and liabilities

Court Proceedings

As of 2 March 2020 the Company has settled the various proceedings in Singapore, Australia, Thailand and Cambodia with Somboon 
Sukcharoenkraisri, Lee Bug Tong, Lee Bug Huy, Lee Hoe Property Co., Ltd, Paramax Co., Ltd and related persons (together, the Thai Vendors) 
arising from Donaco's acquisition of the Star Vegas business.

The settlement agreements include the following terms: 

An amended Perpetual Lease Agreement for the Star Vegas casino was executed, granting Donaco security of tenure over the Star Vegas 
casino until 15 June 2115.

Donaco will receive US$38 million to remove the non-competition and non-solicitation clauses in the Share Sale Agreement relating to the 
Star Vegas business. The Share Sale Agreement will also be amended to acknowledge the existence of the competing casino constructed 
near the Star Vegas casino;
Donaco will pay US$18 million to settle the claims for unpaid management fees plus interest (to be offset against the US$38 million owed per 
above). The management agreement will also be terminated;

Donaco will pay any outstanding rent and an additional lease payment of US$20 million in respect of the Star Vegas lease to Lee Hoe 
Property. Following this additional lease payment, the lease agreement shall resume and continue as perpetual, with US$20,000 per month 
for 5 years from the effective settlement date, US$30,000 per month starting from the 6th year to the end of the 10th year, and from the 
11th year onwards, the monthly rent will increase 3% every 3 years. In addition for the five financial years commencing 1 July 2020, there is 
an entitlement to share 25% of the Star Vegas business EBITDA in excess of US$16 million of the EBITDA of the relevant financial year;

The Thai vendors have agreed not to dispose of their shares in Donaco International for a period of six months from the date of settlement; 
andAll legal actions and mutual releases will now cease.

(cid:120)

Under the loan facility agreement, Donaco is required to obtain consent from Mega Bank to fulfil parts of the settlement agreement. All settlement 
parties have agreed to defer the settlement payments and additional lease payment whilst awaiting Mega Bank's consent. The US$38 million 
receivable for the clause removal and the $US20 million payable as additional lease payment have not been recognised as at 30 June 2020 as the 
consent has not been provided and the settlement remains incomplete. 

In any case, no net cash flow will arise from the settlement and it has been agreed that all legal actions will now cease. 

Note 40. Correction of prior year error

During the year, Donaco identified that inappropriate adjustments to cash in transit, uncollectable customer and junket balance receivables had 
been recognised in the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019. These adjustments were offset against trade and other payables. 
Accordingly, there were misstatements to the cash and cash equivalents and trade and other payables, and an understatement of impairment 
expense. Each of the affected financial statement line items have been restated as follows:

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Donaco 
International Limited 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report  

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Donaco International Limited (the Company) and its 
subsidiaries (the consolidated entity), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position 
as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the 
consolidated statement of changes in equity and 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 consolidated entity is in accordance with the 
Corporations Act 2001, including:  

(a)  giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 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 consolidated entity in accordance with the 
auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the 
Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional 
Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also 
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

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

The title ‘Partner’ conveys that the person is a senior member within their respective division, and is among the group of persons who hold an 
equity interest (shareholder) in its parent entity, Findex Group Limited. The only professional service offering which is conducted by a partnership

Independent Auditor’s Report 

                        Donaco International Limited 

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern   

We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates that the consolidated entity’s 
current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $54,624,489 as at 30 June 2020. The consolidated 
entity recorded a net loss after tax of $58,873,619 and net operating cash outflows of $3,211,922 for 
the year ended on that date. As stated in Note 1, the directors have prepared the 30 June 2020 
financial report on a going basis and have been taking actions to address these financial positions. 
Should the events or actions set forth in Note 1 not eventuate, it may result in a material uncertainty 
that may cast significant doubt on the consolidated entity’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.  

Impairment assessment of intangible assets (Note 13) 

Key Audit Matter 

How we addressed the key audit matter 

The consolidated entity recorded a casino licence 
asset of $27.5 million as at 30 June 2020. The 
licence is classified as an intangible asset with 
indefinite useful life and is subject to annual 
impairment assessment.  

Impairment of $50.3 million was recognised in the 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income for the year based on impairment 
assessments performed as at 31 December 2019 
and 30 June 2020. 

The impairment assessment of the intangible asset 
is a key audit matter because of the complexity and 
subjectivity involved, including key assumptions 
made.  

Our audit procedures included, amongst others, the 
following: 
•  Assessed management’s determination of the 
cash generating unit (“CGU”) and the CGU’s 
carrying value.  

•  Assessed reasonableness of cash flow forecasts 

by comparing the base year in the forecast 
calculation to the current period’s actual results. 

•  Assessed the appropriateness of the currency 
used in the model. The cash flow forecast is 
calculated in the Thai Baht (THB) and translated to 
the US Dollar (USD) at the valuation date, and 
subsequently translated into the Australian Dollar 
(AUD).  

•  Together with our valuation specialists, assessed 
reasonableness of the key assumptions used, 
being revenue growth rate, discount rate, and 
terminal growth rate. 

•  Together with our valuation specialists, tested the 
mathematical accuracy and components of the 
model that supports the impairment assessment. 

•  Checked the sensitivity of the impairment 

assessment by focusing on the discount rate. 
•  Evaluated the adequacy of the judgments and 

sources of estimation uncertainty disclosures in the 
consolidated financial report.

Independent Auditor’s Report 

                        Donaco International Limited 

Other Information  

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

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

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

• 

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

Independent Auditor’s Report 

                        Donaco International Limited 

•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit 

procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an 
opinion on the effectiveness of the consolidated entity’s internal control. 

•  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 

estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. 

•  Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting 

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

•  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the 

disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in 
a manner that achieves a true and fair view. 

•  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 consolidated entity 
financial report. The auditor is responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the 
consolidated entity audit. The auditor remains solely responsible for the audit opinion. 

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

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

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit 
matters. We describe these matters in the 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 the auditor’s 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 in pages 12 to 20 of the directors’ report for the 
year ended 30 June 2020.  

In our opinion, the remuneration report of Donaco International Limited for the year ended 30 June 
2020 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
