CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
The Board of Directors (continued)
The Board would normally delegate to management responsibility for:
-
-
-
-
developing and implementing corporate strategies and making recommendations on significant corporate
strategic initiatives;
maintaining an effective risk management framework and keeping the Board and market fully informed
about material risks;
developing iCandy Interactive Limited's annual budget, recommending it to the Board for approval and
managing day-to-day operations within budget; and
managing day-to-day operations in accordance with standards for social and ethical practices which have
been set by the Board.
The current circumstances, however, require all these functions to be exercised by the Board members or the Company
Secretary. The company does not currently have a performance evaluation method due to the current size and limited
nature of operations.
The company has adopted a Board Charter which sets out the specific responsibilities of the Board, the requirements as
to the Board's composition, the roles and responsibilities of the Chairman, Company Secretary and management, the
establishment, operations and management of Board Committees, Directors' access to Company records and
information, details of the Board's relationship with management, details of the Board's performance review and details of
the Board's disclosure policy.
A copy of the Company's Board Charter is contained in the Company's Corporate Governance Plan which is available on
the Company's website.
(c) Board size and composition
The Board determines its size and composition, subject to the limits imposed by iCandy Interactive Limited's Constitution.
The Constitution requires a minimum of three and a maximum of twenty Directors. In addition, at least two of the Directors
shall ordinarily reside within Australia. Currently, the Board consists of four directors. The Board supports the principles of
diversity; however, due to the size and scale of the company's operations, its has no female representative on the board
at the present time.
Election of Board members is substantially the province of the Shareholders in general meeting.
(d) The selection and role of the Chairman
The Chairman is selected by the Board from the non-executive Directors. The Chairman's role includes:
-
-
-
-
-
-
providing effective leadership on formulating the Board's strategy;
representing the views of the Board to the public;
ensuring that, when all Board members take office, they are fully briefed on the terms of their appointment,
their duties and responsibilities;
ensuring that the Board meets at regular intervals throughout the year, and that minutes of meetings
accurately record decisions taken and, where appropriate, the views of individual Directors;
guiding the agenda and conduct of all Board meetings; and
reviewing the performance of the Board of Directors.
The Board Charter provides that where practical the Chairman of the Board will be a non-executive director. The
Chairman, Kin Wai Lau is a non-executive director but is not considered by the Board to be independent.
The Company may seek to appoint additional independent Directors in the future to address the lack of independence of
its Directors.
(e) Directors' Independence
The Board assesses each of the Directors against specific criteria to decide whether they are in a position to exercise
independent judgement. Directors are considered to be independent if they are independent of management and free
from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially
interfere with, the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgement. Materiality is assessed on a case-by-case
basis by reference to each Directors' individual circumstances rather than general materiality thresholds. In assessing
independence, the Board considers whether the Director has a business or other relationship with iCandy Interactive
Limited, either directly, or as a partner, shareholder or officer of a company or other Company that has an interest, or a
business or other relationship, with iCandy Interactive Limited or another iCandy Interactive Limited group member.
Presently, the only independent Director is Robert Kolodziej. The Company may seek to appoint additional independent
Directors in the future to address the lack of independence of its Directors.

a diverse and skilled workforce, a workplace culture characterised by inclusive practices and behaviours for the benefit of
all staff, improved employment and career development opportunities for women and a work environment that values and

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
Remuneration framework
(a) Overview
The remuneration of an executive Director will be decided by the Board, without the affected executive Director
participating in that decision-making process.
The total maximum remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is initially set by the Directors and subsequent variation is by
ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting in accordance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the
ASX Listing Rules, as applicable. The determination of Directors' remuneration within that maximum will be made by the
Board having regard to the inputs and value to the Company of the respective contributions by each non-executive
Director. The current amount has been set at an amount not to exceed $150,000 per annum.
In addition, a Director may be paid fees or other amounts, (e.g. subject to any necessary Shareholder approval, non-cash
performance incentives such as Options) as the Directors determine whether a Director performs special duties or
otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director.
Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, hotel and other expenses incurred by them respectively in or
about the performance of their duties as Directors.
The Board reviews and approves the remuneration policy to enable the Company to attract and retain executives and
Directors who will create value for Shareholders having consideration to the amount considered to be commensurate for a
company of its size and level of activity as well as the relevant Directors' time, commitment and responsibility. The Board
is also responsible for reviewing any employee incentive and equity-based plans including the appropriateness of
performance hurdles and total payments proposed.
(b) Employee Share Options Scheme
There are no Employee Share Options Schemes (ESOS) granted over un-issued shares to directors or executives as part
of their remuneration. The issue of any options would require approval by Shareholders.

(a) Approach to corporate responsibility and sustainability
iCandy Interactive Limited's approach to corporate responsibility and sustainability is to manage its business in a away
that produces positive outcomes for all stakeholders and maximises economic, social and environmental value
simultaneously. In doing so, iCandy Interactive Limited accepts that the responsibilities flowing from this go beyond both
strict legal obligations and financial bottom line. Transparency, the desire for fair dealing, and positive links into the
community underpin our everyday activities and corporate responsibility practices.
(b) Code of conduct
iCandy Interactive Limited's Board and management are committed to their Code of Conduct (Code) which is based on
their core values and on the expectations of their clients, of shareholders and of the broader community.
The Code aims to promote a high level of professionalism and provide a benchmark for ethical and professional

employees.

Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations.
(c)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017
These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of iCandy Interactive Limited and Controlled Entities ("group").
The financial statements were authorised for issue on 29 March 2018 by the directors of the company.
Note 1
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards
and Interpretations of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. Material
accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless
stated otherwise.
Except for cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, modified,
where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
(a)
Principles of Consolidation
iCandy Interactive Limited's financial statements consolidated those of the Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 31 December
2017. The Parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the
ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 31 December.
The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which
control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Inter-company
transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between Group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation.
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting
policies adopted by the Group.
Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised from the effective date
of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.
Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary's profit or loss and net assets that is not held by
the Group. The Group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries between the owners of the parent and the non-
controlling interests based on their respective ownership interests.
Business Combinations
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses.
A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under
common control. The business combination will be accounted for from the date that control is obtained, whereby the fair value of the
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to certain limited exemptions).
When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration
arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its
subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is remeasured each reporting
period to fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the change in value can be identified as existing at
acquisition date.
All transaction costs incurred in relation to business combinations, other than those associated with the issue of a financial instrument, are
recognised as expenses in profit or loss when incurred.
The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.
Goodwill
Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the sum of:
(i) the consideration transferred;
(ii) any non-controlling interest (determined under either the full goodwill or proportionate interest method); and
(iii) the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest;
over the acquisition date fair value of net identifiable assets acquired.
The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair value of any
previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial statements.
Fair value remeasurements in any pre-existing equity holdings are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Where
changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to
profit or loss.
The amount of goodwill recognised on acquisition of each subsidiary in which the Group holds less than 100% interest will depend on the
method adopted in measuring the non-controlling interest. The Group can elect in most circumstances to measure the non-controlling
interest in the acquiree either at fair value (full goodwill method) or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the subsidiary's
identifiable net assets (proportionate interest method). In such circumstances, the Group determines which method to adopt for each
acquisition and this is stated in the respective note to the financial statements disclosing the business combination.

ICANDY INTERACTIVE LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
ABN: 87 604 871 712
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont'd)
Under the full goodwill method, the fair value of the non-controlling interest is determined using valuation techniques which make the
maximum use of market information where available. Under this method, goodwill attributable to the non-controlling interest is recognised in
the consolidated financial statements.
Refer to Note 11 for information on the goodwill policy adopted by the Group for acquisitions.
Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investments in
associates.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and is allocated to the Group's cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units,
representing the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored and not larger than an operating segment. Gains and losses on the disposal of
an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill related to the entity disposed of.
Changes in the ownership interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions and do not
affect the carrying amounts of goodwill.
(b)
Income Tax
The income tax expense (income) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income for the current period. Current tax liabilities
(assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority using tax rates (and tax laws)
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused
tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are
recognised outside profit or loss or arising from a business combination.
Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, where there is no
effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the
liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of
the related asset or liability. With respect to non-depreciable items of property, plant and equipment measured at fair value and items of
investment property measured at fair value, the related deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset is measured on the basis that the carrying
amount of the asset will be recovered entirely through sale. When an investment property that is depreciable is held by the entity in a
business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the property through use over time
(rather than through sale), the related deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset is measured on the basis that the carrying amount of such
property will be recovered entirely through use.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future
taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets
and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the
reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or
simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where: (i)
a legally enforceable right of set-off exists; and (ii) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation
authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and
settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are
expected to be recovered or settled.
(c)
Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, depending on the
requirements of the applicable accounting standard.
Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly (i.e. unforced)
transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date.
As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to determine fair value.
Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific asset or liability. The fair values of assets
and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques
maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data.
To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (ie the market with the
greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the most advantageous market available to
the entity at the end of the reporting period (ie the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments
made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs).
For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant’s ability to use the asset in its highest and
best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

ABN: 87 604 871 712
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont'd)
The fair value of liabilities and the entity’s own equity instruments (excluding those related to share-based payment arrangements) may be
valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial instruments, by reference to observable market
information where such instruments are held as assets. Where this information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and,
where significant, are detailed in the respective note to the financial statements.
(d)
Property, Plant and Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation
and impairment losses.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated
impairment. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount
is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised either in profit or loss or as a
revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate to a revalued asset. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when
impairment indicators are present (refer to Note 1(m) for details of impairment).
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from
these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset's
employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable
amounts.
The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an
appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable
that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other
repairs and maintenance are recognised as expenses in profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised leased assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a
straight-line basis over the asset's useful life to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold
improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
Class of Fixed Asset
Plant and equipment
Depreciation Rate
10 - 25%
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated
recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are recognised in
profit or loss in the period in which they arise. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation surplus relating to that
asset are transferred to retained earnings.
(e)
Accounting for Common Control
Where the acquisition of entities that are deemed to be under common control occurs, then consideration is required to determine the
accounting acquirer. A new entity formed to effect a business combination through the issue of equity interests will not be regarded as the
accounting acquirer, rather one of the combining entities that existed prior to the business combination shall be identified as the accounting
acquirer.
The pooling of interests method is adopted for business combinations under common control. Existing book values for assets and liabilities
at the date of acquisition will be recognised and fair value adjustments including new intangibles or goodwill will not be recognised. Any
premium between the fair value of consideration paid and the book value of net assets is debited to a separate category of equity (premium
on assets acquired - Note 21)
(f)
Financial Instruments
Recognition and Initial Measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For
financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the entity commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (ie trade date
accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value
through profit or loss’ in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont'd)
Classification and Subsequent Measurement
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest method, or cost.
Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal
repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and
the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate
that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) over the
expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the
financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying amount with a
consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss.
The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures as being subject to the requirements of Accounting
Standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.
(i)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are classified at “fair value through profit or loss” when they are held for trading for the purpose of short-term profit
taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable
performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in
accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with
changes in carrying amount included in profit or loss.
(ii)
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market
and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial asset is derecognised.
(iii)
Financial Liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities other than financial guarantees are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are
recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial liability is derecognised.
Impairment
A financial asset (or a group of financial assets) is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result
of one or more events (a “loss event”) having occurred, which has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset(s).
In the case of available-for-sale financial assets, a significant or prolonged decline in the market value of the instrument is considered to
constitute a loss event. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss immediately. Also, any cumulative decline in fair value previously
recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified into profit or loss at this point.
In the case of financial assets carried at amortised cost, loss events may include: indications that the debtors or a group of debtors are
experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; indications that they will enter bankruptcy
or other financial reorganisation; and changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost (including loans and receivables), a separate allowance account is used to reduce the carrying
amount of financial assets impaired by credit losses. After having taken all possible measures of recovery, if management establishes that
the carrying amount cannot be recovered by any means, at that point the written-off amounts are charged to the allowance account or the
carrying amount of impaired financial assets is reduced directly if no impairment amount was previously recognised in the allowance
account.
When the terms of financial assets that would otherwise have been past due or impaired have been renegotiated, the Group recognises the
impairment for such financial assets by taking into account the original terms as if the terms have not been renegotiated so that the loss
events that have occurred are duly considered.
(g)
Impairment of Assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will
include the consideration of external and internal sources of information, including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or joint
ventures deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing
the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use, to the asset’s carrying
amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset
is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another Standard (eg in accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116: Property,
Plant and Equipment ). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other Standard.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-
generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite lives and intangible assets not yet available for use.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont'd)
(h)
Investments in Associates
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and
operating policy decisions of the entity but is not control or joint control of those policies. Investments in associates are accounted for in the
consolidated financial statements by applying the equity method of accounting, whereby the investment is initially recognised at cost
(including transaction costs) and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate. In
addition, the Group’s share of the profit or loss of the associate is included in the Group’s profit or loss.
The carrying amount of the investment includes, when applicable, goodwill relating to the associate. Any discount on acquisition, whereby
the Group’s share of the net fair value of the associate exceeds the cost of investment, is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which
the investment is acquired.
Profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the
associate.
When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group discontinues recognising its
share of further losses unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. When the
associate subsequently makes profits, the Group will resume recognising its share of those profits once its share of the profits equals the
share of the losses not recognised.
(i)
Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that
entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity's functional currency.
Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to
be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate
at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except where deferred in equity as a
qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other comprehensive income to the extent
that the underlying gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in profit or
loss.
Group companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the group’s presentation currency are
translated as follows:
—
—
—
assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period;
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations with functional currencies other than Australian dollars are recognised in
other comprehensive income and included in the foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. The cumulative
amount of these differences is reclassified into profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed of.
(j)
Employee Benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Provision is made for the Group’s obligation for short-term employee benefits. Short-term employee benefits are benefits (other than
termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the
employees render the related service, including wages, salaries and sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the
(undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled.
The Group’s obligations for short-term employee benefits such as wages, salaries and sick leave are recognised as part of current trade and
other payables in the statement of financial position. The Group’s obligations for employees’ annual leave and long service leave
entitlements are recognised as provisions in the statement of financial position.
Other long-term employee benefits
Provision is made for employees’ long service leave and annual leave entitlements not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after
the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. Other long-term employee benefits are measured
at the present value of the expected future payments to be made to employees.
Expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee departures and are
discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have maturity
dates that approximate the terms of the obligations. Any remeasurements for changes in assumptions of obligations for other long-term
employee benefits are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the changes occur.

ICANDY INTERACTIVE LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
ABN: 87 604 871 712
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont'd)
The Group’s obligations for long-term employee benefits are presented as non-current provisions in its statement of financial position, except
where the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period, in
which case the obligations are presented as current provisions.
(k)
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an
outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.
Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.
(l)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits available on demand with banks. Bank overdrafts are reporting within short-
term borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.
(m)
Revenue and Other Income
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume
rebates allowed. When the inflow of consideration is deferred it is treated as the provision of financing and is discounted at a rate of interest
that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount
ultimately received is interest revenue.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks and rewards of
ownership of the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those goods.
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method.
Revenue recognition relating to the provision of services is determined with reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the end
of the reporting period where outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. Stage of completion is determined with reference to the
services performed to date as a percentage of total anticipated services to be performed. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably,
revenue is recognised only to the extent that related expenditure is recoverable.
Investment property revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease term so as to reflect a constant periodic rate
of return on the net investment.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax.
(n)
Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other
receivables are classified as non-current assets.
Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method, less any provision for impairment. Refer to Note 1(l) for further discussion on the determination of impairment losses.
(o)
Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by the entity that remain unpaid at the end of the reporting
period. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.
(p)
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable
from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
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 ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are
recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to
suppliers.
(q)
Government Grants
Government grants are recognised at fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all grant conditions
will be met. Grants relating to expense items are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant to the costs it is
compensating. Grants relating to assets are credited to deferred income at fair value and are credited to income over the expected useful life
of the asset on a straight-line basis.
(r)
Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current
financial year.
Where the Group retrospectively applies an accounting policy, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial
statements, an additional (third) statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period in addition to the minimum
comparative financial statement is presented.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont'd)
(s)
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best
available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic
data, obtained both externally and within the Group.
(i)
Key judgements and estimates - Intellectual Property - Software
In determining the development expenditures to be capitalised, the Group makes estimates and assumptions based on expected future
economic benefits generated by products that are the result of these development expenditures. Other important estimates and
assumptions in this assessment process are the distinction between R&D and the estimated useful life.
Development costs associated with intangible assets are only capitalised by the Group when it can demonstrate the technical feasibility
of completing the asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale, how the asset will generate future economic benefits and the
ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
Development costs in respect to software are internally generated, and have a finite useful life. The amortisation method is line over the
period of the expected benefit, being 5 years. Impairment testing is undertaken when impairment indicators exist.
(ii)
Key Estimate - Taxation
Refer to Note 4 - Income Tax
(iii)
Key judgements and estimates - Impairment
The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of
assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in
assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.
(iv)
Key Estimate - Impairment of Goodwill
Refer to Note 13 - Intangible Assets
(v)
Key judgements and estimates - Share-based payments
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at
the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model,
using the assumptions detailed in Note 21 - Share-based payments.
(t) New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods
Accounting Standards issued by the AASB that are not yet mandatorily applicable to the Group, together with an assessment of the potential
impact of such pronouncements on the Group when adopted in future periods, are discussed below:
—
AASB 9: Financial Instruments and associated Amending Standards (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1
January 2018).
The Standard will be applicable retrospectively (subject to the provisions on hedge accounting outlined below) and includes revised
requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, revised recognition and derecognition requirements for
financial instruments and simplified requirements for hedge accounting.
The key changes that may affect the Group on initial application include certain simplifications to the classification of financial assets,
simplifications to the accounting of embedded derivatives, upfront accounting for expected credit loss, and the irrevocable election to
recognise gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. AASB 9
also introduces a new model for hedge accounting that will allow greater flexibility in the ability to hedge risk, particularly with respect to
hedges of non-financial items. Hedge accounting requirements are required to be prospectively applied.
—
—
—
Further reduction in the carrying amount of trade receivables and investments in related parties as at 31 December 2017 due to
additional loss allowances (measured as 12-month and life-time expected credit losses) provided for such instruments that are not
yet past due and past due but not yet impaired. The assessment of financial impact on account of the above is still in progress;
Listed and Unlisted investments that are classified as available-for-sale financial assets (not held for trading) will be continued to be
measured at fair value through other comprehensive income through an irrevocable option as permitted by AASB 9. As such no
financial impact is expected to arise from this reclassification.
Unlisted investments at cost are not held for trading and as such will be measured at fair value through other comprehensive
income through an irrevocable option as permitted by AASB 9. However Management believes that there is a wide range of
possible fair value measurements for these instruments and their cost represents the best estimate of fair value within that range.
Hence, as per the relevant principle in AASB 9, cost of these investments is regarded to be an appropriate estimate of their fair
value. As such no financial impact is expected to arise due to the above mentioned reclassification.
—
Government and fixed interest securities are held in a business model of collecting all contractual cash flows (principal and interest)
and therefore will continue to be measured at amortised cost. Therefore there will be no financial impact.

—
AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)
When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements in AASB 118 and the related interpretations. The core
principle of the Standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an
amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. Revenue is
recognised through a five-step process that notably involves identifying a contract with customer and the related performance
obligations and recognising revenue (as a portion of transaction price allocated to such performance obligations) as and when the
performance obligation is satisfied.
The key areas of change that may impact the Group's financial statements have been identified below:
●
●
●
●
●
identification and categorisation of performance obligations on each contract, which would influence the timing of revenue
recognition on each contract deliverable;
capitalisation of costs incurred in procuring a contract that is expensed under the existing accounting policies;
upfront estimation of credit risk applicable to each customer and factoring the same in the revenue recognition of each contract;
estimation of the variable consideration in the transaction price and including that portion in the revenue recognition on the contract
for the current year; and
additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding contracts and the related amounts.
The assessment of the financial impact on account of the above changes in accounting policies is still in progress and as such not
known at this stage.
The transitional provisions of this Standard permit an entity to either: restate the contracts that existed in each prior period presented per
AASB 108: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (subject to certain practical expedients in AASB 15); or
recognise the cumulative effect of retrospective application to incomplete contracts on the date of initial application.
—
AASB 2014-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its
Associate or Joint Venture (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, as deferred by AASB 2015-10:
Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Effective Date of Amendments to AASB 10 and AASB 128 ).
This Standard amends AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements with regards to a parent losing control over a subsidiary that is not
a "business" as defined in AASB 3: Business Combinations to an associate or joint venture, and requires that:
●
●
●
a gain or loss (including any amounts in other comprehensive income (OCI)) be recognised only to the extent of the unrelated
investor’s interest in that associate or joint venture;
the remaining gain or loss be eliminated against the carrying amount of the investment in that associate or joint venture; and
any gain or loss from remeasuring the remaining investment in the former subsidiary at fair value also be recognised only to the
extent of the unrelated investor’s interest in the associate or joint venture. The remaining gain or loss should be eliminated against
the carrying amount of the remaining investment.
The application of AASB 2014-10 will result in a change in accounting policies for transactions of loss of control over subsidiaries
(involving an associate or joint venture) that are businesses per AASB 3 for which gains or losses were previously recognised only to
the extent of the unrelated investor’s interest.
The transitional provisions require that the Standard should be applied prospectively to sales or contributions of subsidiaries to
associates or joint ventures occurring on or after 1 January 2018.
(u) Going Concern Note
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the
realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Company incurred a loss for the year after tax of $3,113,914 net cash outflows from operating activities of $613,562.
During the year, the entity entered a term sheet with Animoca Brands Limited ("AB1") for the acquisition of its mobile games business. On
settlement which is expected in the first half of 2018, a cash payment of AUD 750,000 will be required to be made to AB1 representing the
remainder of the cash consideration.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon the ability of the Company to secure funds by
raising capital from equity markets and managing cashflow in line with available funds. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that
may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In the event the above matters are not achieved,
the Company will be required to raise funds for working capital from debt or equity sources.
The directors have prepared a cash flow forecast, which indicates that the Company will have sufficient cash flows to meet all commitments
and working capital requirements for the 12 month period from the date of signing this financial report.
Based on the cash flow forecasts and other factors referred to above, the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation
is appropriate. In particular, given the Company’s history of raising capital to date, the directors are confident of the Company’s ability to raise
additional funds as and when they are required.
Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than
in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or to the amount and classification of liabilities that
might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.

Intangible assets, other than goodwill, have finite useful lives. The current amortisation charges for intangible assets are included under
depreciation and amortisation expense per the statement of profit or loss. Goodwill has an indefinite useful life.
Goodwill has been impaired as the cash generating unit was in a loss making situation.
A discount cashflow forecast for the intangibles brought in through business acquisition was prepared based on the expected life of games. The
calculations were done based on sales received to date and an estimate of future revenue. The present value of the intangibles does not support
the value that was brought in. An impairment was provided for the intangibles to the present value as calculated using the method described
before.

N/A
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of directors (chief
operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
The Group is managed primarily on the basis of product category and service offerings as the diversification of the Group's operations inherently
have notably different risk profiles and performance assessment criteria. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis.
Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic
characteristics and are also similar with respect to the following:
—
the products sold and/or services provided by the segment;
Types of products and services by segment
(i)
Development and sale of digital media (except games)
The Group is engaged in the development of software for interactive digital media (except games).
(ii)
Design and development of intellectual properties for software applications and games
The Group is also engaged in the design and development of intellectual properties for software applications and games.

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments
(a)
Accounting policies adopted
Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors, being the chief operating decision makers with respect to operating
segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent with those adopted in the annual financial statements of
the Group.

Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of the economic value
from the asset. In most instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location.
(c)
Segment liabilities
Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment.
Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include
trade and other payables and certain direct borrowings.
(d)
Unallocated items
The following items of revenue, expense, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part of the

Other than the following, the directors are not aware of any significant events since the end of the reporting period.
At 31 December 2017, the Group had prepaid for 1,449,696 NOX tokens, and value at 31 December 2017 was $610,780. At the date of this
report, NOX is being traded with a value of AUD $0.0945 per token (USD $0.0726). The fair value of the tokens held as at the date of this report
is AUD $137,017 (USD $105,248)
At the date of this report, the matter regarding the Company's application to the Federal Court of Australia for orders providing for the
retrospective curing of the offers for sale, or sale, by the subscribers of shares issued on 9 October 2017 was heard before the Honourable
Justice Banks-Smith in the Federal Court on the 26 March 2018. Justice Banks-Smith had reserved judgement and ordered that ASIC file and
service further submissions by 9 April 2018 and the Company file and serve any submissions (if necessary) in reply within 7 days of ASIC
submissions.
ASX has advised that the Company's shares will remain in voluntary suspension until such time as orders are made by the Federal Court. The
Company will make a further announcement once a judgement is received.
At the date of this report, the transaction to purchase the Casual Games Portfolio from Animoca Brands Corporation Limited ("AB1") has yet to be

The directors are responsible for iCandy Interactive Limited's risk management strategy and management is responsible for implementing the
directors' strategy. A risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of finance markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse
effects on financial performance. iCandy Interactive Limited uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed.
These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case on interest rate and market risk. iCandy Interactive Limited does not use derivatives.
The consolidated entity's financial instruments consist of deposits with banks and accounts receivables and payables. The main purpose of non-
derivative financial instruments is to raise finance for group operations.
Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management
The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk consisting of interest rate risk
and foreign currency risk.
a. Credit risk
Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that
could lead to a financial loss to the Group.
The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar
characteristics. The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited as the counterparties are banks with high credit
ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.
The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances for losses, represent the Group's
maximum exposure to credit risk.
b.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations
related to financial liabilities. The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:
• preparing forward-looking cash flow analyses in relation to its operating, investing and financing activities;
• obtaining funding from a variety of sources;
• maintaining a reputable credit profile;
• only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and
The table below reflects an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities. Bank overdrafts have been deducted in the
analysis as management does not consider that there is any material risk that the bank will terminate such facilities. The bank does however
maintain the right to terminate the facilities without notice and therefore the balances of overdrafts outstanding at year-end could become
repayable within 12 months. Financial guarantee liabilities are treated as payable on demand since the Group has no control over the timing
of any potential settlement of the liabilities.
Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may therefore differ
from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflect the earliest contractual settlement dates
and do not reflect management’s expectations that banking facilities will be rolled forward.

i.
Interest rate risk
The Group's exposure to market risk primarily consists of financial risks associated with changes in interest rates as detailed below. As the
level of risk is low, the Group does not use any derivatives to hedge its exposure.
The Group is not exposed to interest rate risk on its non-current borrowings as the terms of the loan agreement stipulates that no interest is
payable.
ii.
Foreign currency risk
Exposure to foreign currency risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating due to movement in
foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the Group holds financial instruments which are other than the AUD functional currency of the
Group.
With instruments being held by overseas operations, fluctuations in SGD Dollar and Malaysia Ringgit may impact on the Group's financial
results unless those exposures are appropriately hedged.

Fair Values
Fair value estimation
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the following table and can be compared to their carrying amounts as
presented in the statement of financial position. Fair value is 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.
Differences between fair values and carrying amounts of financial instruments with fixed interest rates are due to the change in discount rates
being applied by the market since their initial recognition by the Group.

known as Kensington Ventures Pte Ltd), a company incorporated in Singapore, this transaction was assessed as a transaction involving
entities under common control. The Company was formeded to effect the business combination and consideration was settled via the issue
of equity interests. As the Company was incorporated to effect the transactions, it was determined that iCandy Interactive Limited would be
the legal acquirer and iCandy Ventures Limited would be the accounting acquirer as it was an entity that was carrying on a business prior to
the business combination.
In accordance with the accounting policy adopted, all assets and liabilities will be recorded at their book value at the date of acquisition. The
remaining difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and the book value of the net assets acquired is allocated to equity.

Independent Auditor's Report
To the Members of iCandy Interactive Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of iCandy Interactive Limited (“the Company”) and
its subsidiaries (“the Consolidated Entity”), which comprises the consolidated statement
of financial position as at 31 December 2017 , 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:
a.
the accompanying financial report of the Consolidated Entity is in accordance with
the Corporations Act 2001, including:
(i)
giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as
at 31 December 2017 and of its financial performance for the year then
ended; and
(ii)
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations
Regulations 2001.
b.
the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards
as disclosed in Note 1.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those
standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit
engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s 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.
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of iCandy Interactive Limited (Continued)
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1(u) in the financial report, which indicates that the Consolidated Entity incurred a
net loss after tax of $3,113,914 during the year ended 31 December 2017. As stated in Note 1(u), these events
or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(u), indicate that a material uncertainty exists 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.
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Impairment assessment of Cash Generating
Units inclusive of goodwill and other intangible
assets
Our procedures amongst others included:
Obtaining an understanding of the value in use
model and assumptions used;
As disclosed in note 13, the Consolidated Entity
Critically

management’s
methodologies and their documented basis for
key assumptions utilised in the valuation models
which are described in Note 13;
We checked the mathematical accuracy of the
cash flow models;
We assessed the reasonableness of forecasts

and
We assessed

the
disclosures included in Notes 1 and 13 to the
financial report.
has goodwill and other intangible assets of
$1,713,129 after impairment charges of
$1,488,571 which related to the Inzen Cash
Generating Unit (CGU);
Impairment of intangible assets is considered to
be a key audit matter due to the significance of
the assets to the Consolidated Entity’s financial
position, current year’s performance and due to
the judgement involved in determining the key
assumptions used in the recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount
by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of
the CGU is based on certain key assumptions,
such as cash flow projections covering a five
year period.
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of iCandy Interactive Limited (Continued)
Accounting for Business Combination
Our procedures amongst others included:
The acquisition of Inzen Studio Pte Ltd as
disclosed in note 22 of the consolidated financial
statements is a key audit matter due to the size of
Reviewing the acquisition agreement to
understand the key terms and conditions, and
confirming our understanding of the
the acquisition

transaction with management;
$1,644,565) and complexities
inherent
in a
business acquisition.
Assessing the deemed consideration with the
terms of the acquisition agreement;
Management has completed a process to

assets, goodwill and separately identifiable
intangible assets including development costs.
This process involved estimation and judgement
by management.
to acquisition agreement and underlying
supporting documentation;
Assessing the fair value of assets and
liabilities acquired to the fair value assessment
conducted by management.
We assessed the appropriateness of the
disclosures included in Notes 1(a) and 22 to
the financial report.
Recoverability of Other Financial Assets
Our procedures amongst others included:
The Consolidated entity has provided loans to
multiple entities including related parties and external
parties, totalling $1,379,023, as disclosed in note 10.
Due to the quantum of the loans, the recoverability of
the loans were considered a key audit matter.
Obtaining loan confirmations and / or agreeing to
contractual arrangements in place;
Discussions held with management over the
recoverability of the loans;
Assessment of the counterparty’s capacity to
repay the loan; and
We assessed the appropriateness of the
disclosures included in Notes 10 and 24 to the
financial report.
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 31 December 2017, 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.
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of iCandy Interactive Limited (Continued)
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 Note 1, the
directors also state in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial
Statements, that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Consolidated Entity’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Consolidated Entity or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. Our objectives are to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with 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.
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.
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of iCandy Interactive Limited (Continued)
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures,
and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Consolidated Entity to express an opinion on the financial report. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Consolidated Entity audit. We remain
solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit
and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our
audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance
in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe
these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or
when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report
because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest
benefits of such communication.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 31 December
2017. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration
report in accordance with s 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
the remuneration report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
Auditor’s Opinion
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of the Company, for the year ended 31 December 2017, complies
with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
