Dividends 

There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year. 

Principal activities 

The principal activities of the Group during the financial year were the development and operation of internet based 
automotive portals in South East Asia. There was no significant change in the nature of activities during the financial 
year. 

The Group operated internet based automotive portals in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.  The portals cater to two 
automotive market segments, being used car buyers and new car buyers.  Business activities in these two segments 
are the following: 

Used Car 

  Classifieds  
  Auction 
  Others - warranty, inspection and private seller service, carsentro 

New Car 

  New Car Dealers 
  Media 
  Events 

Financial Performance  

Strong revenue growth of 28% year on year to $14,841,298 

In the year ended 31 December 2019 the Group generated $14,841,298 in revenue (2018: $11,555,944), an increase 
of 28% over the previous corresponding period (pcp).  

Growth was primarily driven by the Group’s core Classified, Media and Event business, with a small but increasing 
contributions from auction and new car dealer activities. 

As  a  results  of  prudent  cost  management  and  further  optimisation  in  marketing  investment,  operating  expenses 
decreased by 8% in 2019 to $21,028,081 excluding cost of goods sold amounting to $550,382 (2018: $22,867,719) 
with reductions mainly in employment related expenses and advertising & marketing expenses and reclassification 
of  lease  rental  of  $670,370  to  depreciation  and  amortisation  expenses  following  the  adoption  of  new  accounting 
standard  AASB16  Leases.    With  higher  revenue  and  a  lower  cost  base,  pro  forma  EBITDA  losses  significantly 
reduced by 45% year on year to $5,511,255 (2018: $10,035,451).  See below for a description of pro forma EBITDA. 

In  November  2019,  the  Group  achieved  run  rate  monthly  EBITDA  breakeven,  one  month  ahead  of  guidance.  
Investment  in  the  business  to  successfully  integrate  the  acquisition  of  Carmudi  in  November  2019,  among  other 
expenses,  is  expected  to  return  the  company  to  a  temporary  period  of  EBITDA  loss  before  the  Group  returns  to 
EBITDA profitability later in 2020. 

The Group’s cashflow improved in line with revenue  growth and EBITDA improvement.  Receipts from customers 
during the year grew by 28% to $16,074,874 (2018: $12,594,587) while net cash used in operating activities reduced 
by  43%  to  $6,559,039  (2018:    $11,469,810).    The  lower  net  operating  cash  outflows  was  impacted  by  the 
reclassification of lease payment to finance expenses by $161,704. 

As  at  31  December  2019  the  Group  had  $6,833,304  in  cash,  cash  equivalents  and  investments.  The  Group  has 
access to additional funds of up to $5,000,000 from a debt facility, but is currently not expecting to draw down on this 
facility in its current capital and business plans.

iCar Asia finished the year strongly in all 3 countries 

Malaysia: 

The  Malaysia  business  achieved  an  important  financial  milestone  by  reporting  full  year  EBITDA  and  cashflow 
positivity in 2019. Full year EBITDA profit was at $1,554,725, compared to an EBITDA loss of $305,780 in 2018. This 
result was largely due to a 40% growth in revenue in 2019 compared to the pcp. 

The Used Car - Classified and New Car - Media activities continued to be the main contributors, complemented by 
new revenue streams in Used Car - Auction and New Car – Dealers.  Both of these new business lines are expected 
to  contribute  more  materially  in  2020.  Two  major  events  were  successfully  executed  in  2019  that  contributed  to 
revenue and profit growth. 

Malaysia operational metrics progress in some key core areas, with changes in strategy in some marketing channels 
flowing through to improvements in these metrics.  Paid accounts for the Q4 of 2019 showed an average increase of 
24% compared with the pcp. The strategy to focus on listing quality where low quality or sold listings were removed 
from the marketplace was introduced in Q3 2018 resulting in the number of listing for Q4 2019 decreasing by 7% on 
a pcp basis but remained at a similar level to Q3 2019. Audience and lead numbers in Q4 2019 decreased on average 
by 19% and 20% respectively compared to the pcp, but importantly leads in Q4 2019 increased by 4% versus Q3 
2019.

Thailand 

The Thailand business achieved an important financial milestone in 2019 by becoming EBITDA and cashflow positive 
for the full financial year.  This was despite a period of disruption from both a general election and the King’s Coronation 
ceremony where business activity levels dropped materially. EBITDA for the full year was at $180,404, a significant 
improvement from an EBITDA loss of $572,073 in 2018. Revenue generated in the 2019 year grew by 7% compared 
to the pcp, despite the slowdown in business activities. 

The Used Car - Classified and New Car - Media segments continued to be the main contributors, complemented by 
new revenue streams in Used Car - Auction and New Car - Dealers.  Both of these new business lines are expected 
to contribute more materially in 2020. 

Despite challenges during the year, the Thailand businesses finished the year in a solid position.  Number of paid 
accounts was up by 1% in Q4 2019 compared to the pcp while listings were flat in Q4 2019 compared to the pcp. 
Audience and leads in Q4 2019 were lower compared to the pcp by 20% and 12% respectively, with the continued 
focus to grow quality audience and leads, however the decline has stopped with Q4 2019 at similar levels to Q3 2019. 

Indonesia 

The Indonesian business achieved 69% revenue growth driven by a full year’s results of the monetisation strategies 
in Used Car introduced in 2018 and the contribution from the acquired business of Carmudi Indonesia. Revenue in 
2019 increased to $1,941,065 million from $1,145,644 million in 2018 and together with prudent cost control, EBITDA 
loss for the year was substantially reduced by 60% to $1,387,663 million from $3,438,824 million in 2018.   

For  the  Group’s  existing  operations,  the  year  also  finished  well  in  a  number  of  key  metrics.  The  number  of  paid 
accounts increasing by 53% on average for Q4 2019 compared to the pcp, and leads increasing by 9% respectively 
compared to the pcp.  This was achieved despite audience in Q4 2019 being 11% lower compared to the pcp.  

On 11 November 2019, the Group completed the acquisition of PT Car Classified Indonesia (referred to hereafter as 
“PTCCI”  or  “Carmudi”).    Operationally  the  acquisition  of  Carmudi  contributed  to  an  uplift  of  46%  in  audience  in 
Indonesia’s combined business to 5,297,193 million unique visitors in the month of December 2019. 

The expanded iCar Asia Indonesian business is expected to more than double the Group’s Indonesian revenues, 
increasing the overall revenue contribution of Indonesia from approximately 12% to 22%.   Realisation of cost and 
revenue synergies are expected to result in the combined Indonesian businesses breaking even in 2020. 

2020:  Achieving Full Year Group EBITDA Breakeven 

Following the Group reaching EBITDA breakeven in November 2019, the outlook for 2020 remains promising with 
revenue currently expected to grow by at least 50% over the 2020 year.  This will be achieved through consistent 
growth of the Group’s core businesses, and the contribution from the Carmudi business for a full year.  Based on this 
current  outlook,  the  Group  is  expected  to  become  cash  flow  positive  in  the  second  half  of  2020  and  be  EBITDA 
positive in aggregate for the 2020 financial year

Matters subsequent to the reporting date 

There have not been any transactions or events of a material and unusual nature between 31 December 2019 and 
the date of this report, in the opinion of the Directors of the Group, to affect significantly the operations of the Group, 
the results of those operations, or state of affairs of the Group in future years. 

Significant changes in the state of affairs 

On 11 November 2019, the Group completed the acquisition of PT Car Classifieds Indonesia, as described above. 
There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group. 

Likely developments and expected results of operations 

In 2020 the Group expects to continue to grow its core business of used  cars and new cars to solidify leadership 
positions  in  all  markets  that  it  operates.  With  the  expected  full  integration  of  Carmudi,  the  Group  is  expected  to 
achieve run rate breakeven for its Indonesia operation.  Malaysia and Thailand operations are expected to continue 
delivering  higher  EBITDA  and  together  with  the  expected  improvement  in  its  Indonesia  operation,  the  Group  is 
expected to achieve full year positive EBITDA for financial year ending 2020.

Nomination & Remuneration Committee 

The membership, responsibilities, authority and activities of the Nomination & Remuneration Committee are set out 
in the Nomination & Remuneration Committee Charter, which has been approved by the Board. 

The responsibilities of the Nomination & Remuneration Committee are to: 

•  Monitor, review and recommend to the Board, as necessary and appropriate:  
 

the remuneration, superannuation and incentive policies and arrangements for the Chief Executive Officer and 
key management personnel (i.e. those executives who report directly to the Chief Executive Officer);   
the remuneration arrangements for executive and non-executive Directors on the Board; 
the  recruitment,  retention  and  termination  policies  and  procedures  for  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  key 
management personnel; and 

 
 

  key appointments and executive succession planning. 

•  Oversee the Group’s general remuneration strategy;  

•  Review the composition of the Board including: 
 

the criteria for selection of directors, having regard to the need for the breadth and depth of skills and experience 
on the Board; and 
the process for selecting new Directors. 

 

•  Monitor the Group culture and reputation and review behavioural standards on a regular basis, and report and 

submit recommendations to the Board. 

The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer attend meetings by invitation to assist the Committee in 
its deliberations except on matters associated with their own remuneration.   

Key management personnel 

Key management personnel (‘KMP’) comprises the directors and executives of the Group. For the purposes of the 
Remuneration Report, the term ‘Executive’ is defined to mean the Chief Executive Officer (‘CEO’), the Chief Financial 
Officer (‘CFO’), Chief Information Officer (‘CIO’) and Chief Marketing Officer (‘CMO’). The CFO, CIO and CMO report 
directly to the CEO, who then reports to the Board. The Executives are responsible for the implementation of the 
Group’s vision, values, corporate strategies and risk management systems, as well as the day-to-day management 
of the business.

Advisers 

External specialist remuneration advice is sought on an as-needs basis in respect of remuneration arrangements for 
non-executive Directors of the Board and key management personnel of the Group. General reward advice is sought 
on an ad hoc basis. No external advisors were used during the current or prior years. 

Reward policy   

The Group has an established policy for determining the nature and amount of emoluments of Board members and 
key  management  personnel  of  the  Group  to  align  remuneration  with  the  creation  of  shareholder  value.  The 
remuneration structure for the key management personnel seeks to emphasise payment for results. 

Reward philosophy 

The Company’s overall philosophy is to manage remuneration to: 

•  Create an environment that will attract top talent, and where people can be motivated with energy and passion 

to deliver superior performance; 

•  Recognise capabilities and promote opportunities for career and professional development; 
•  Provide rewards, benefits and conditions that are competitive within the markets in which the Group operates; 

and  

•  Provide fair and consistent rewards across the Group, which support corporate principles. 

In accordance with the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (‘ASXCGPR’), the structure of 
non-executive Directors and key management personnel remuneration is separate and distinct. 

The Group has a policy of ensuring that part of the remuneration of key management personnel is directly linked to 
the performance of the Group.  Key management personnel are therefore compensated with fixed remuneration and 
'at risk' remuneration based on the key performance measures of the Group. 

Executive Chairman and non-executive directors remuneration 

The fees paid to Directors on the Board take into consideration the level of fees paid to Board members of other 
Australian  corporations,  the  size  and  complexity  of  the  Group’s  operations,  the  activities  of  the  Group  and  the 
responsibilities and workload requirements of Board members. 

Fees are established from time to time for the Directors. The appointment letters for the Directors set out the terms 
and  conditions  of  their  appointments.  These  terms  and  conditions  are  in  conjunction  with,  and  subject  to,  the 
Company’s  Constitution  and  the  charters  and  policies  approved  by  the  Board  from  time  to  time.    Each  Director 
receives a fee for being a Director of the Company.  These fees are paid either by the issue of iCar Asia Limited 
shares or in cash. The number of shares  is determined by the  volume weighted average price (‘VWAP’) over the 
financial year of the director services provided. 

There were no share options granted to Non-Executive Directors during or since the end of the financial year outside 
of options acquired via participation in the non-renounceable entitlement offer in 2017. For details of share options 
granted to the Executive Chairman, see Section B Details of remuneration. 

Maximum aggregate non-executive directors fee pool 

The maximum aggregate amount that may be paid to NEDs for their services is $500,000 during any financial year, 
as approved by shareholders at the 2014 AGM held on 28 May 2014. Any remuneration by the issue of shares to 
non-executive director which has been approved under listing rules does not count towards the maximum fee pool.

The Executive Chairman is paid an additional $127,500 cash in 2019 for the executive component of the role. The 
Executive Chairman was also granted a one-off issuance of $10,000 in shares in the Company, which was approved 
by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 27 May 2019. 

Executive remuneration 

The Company aims to reward key management personnel with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with 
their position and responsibilities within the Group and: 

•  Reward key management personnel for achievement of pre-determined targets; 
•  Link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Group; and  
•  Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards. 

The remuneration for key management personnel and staff will include an annual review using a formal performance 
appraisal process.  The Nomination & Remuneration Committee recommends to the Board the level of remuneration 
each year based on the performance of individuals.   

The remuneration structure is in two parts: 

•  Fixed remuneration; and  
•  Variable remuneration 

Fixed remuneration 
The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of  remuneration that is both appropriate to the 
position and is competitive in the market.  Fixed remuneration comprises of salary and other benefits such as housing 
allowances and school fees. Individuals, however, may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments 
towards other benefits.   

Variable Remuneration 
Remuneration is linked to performance to retain high calibre executives by motivating them to achieve performance 
goals which are aligned to  Group interests. The components of variable remuneration are outlined below and are 
directly linked to the performance of both the Executive and the Group.

Remuneration Report (audited) (continued) 

Long-term incentive plan (LTI) 

The Group has established a long-term incentive plan (referred to hereafter as the ‘Plan’). The Plan is part of the 
Group’s remuneration strategy and is designed to align the interests of management and shareholders and assist 
the  Group  in  the  attraction,  motivation  and  retention  of  executives.  In  particular,  the  Plan  is  designed  to  provide 
relevant executives with an incentive for future performance and encouraging those executives to remain with the 
Group. LTI payments are made to participating key employees depending on the extent to which specific targets set 
at the beginning of the plan are met. The targets relate to the earnings of the company, achievement of other KPIs 
aligned to the individual’s specific business function and staff remaining in employment for three years (including the 
year to which the LTI relates). During the year all new key employees participated in the LTI only. The details of LTI 
terms and targets can be found under Section C Service agreements in Remuneration Report. 

Options plan 

With the same objective of the LTI Plan, certain key employees were previously awarded iCar Asia Limited share 
options. The details can be found in Section C Service agreements in the Remuneration Report.  

During  the  previous  year,  options  granted  to  certain  key  management  personnel  were  replaced  by  a  share 
appreciation rights scheme as detailed below. 

Additional incentives 

With the same objective of the LTI Plan, certain key employees were offered the opportunity to be granted additional 
incentives in the form of iCar Asia Limited shares contingent upon successful achievement of specified key financial 
and operational metrics. The details can be found in Section C Service agreements. 

During the previous year, additional incentives granted to certain key management personnel were replaced by a 
share appreciation rights scheme as detailed below. 

Long Term Value Creation (LTVC) 

The Group issued certain key management personnel with share appreciation rights as replacement awards under 
the  existing  executive  variable  remuneration  plan  for  additional  incentives  and  options.  The  existing  Long  Term 
Incentive  plan  is  not  affected  by  this  new  scheme  and  will  run  as  per  respective  service  agreements  of  key 
management  personnel.  The  purpose  of  the  LTVC  scheme  is  to  reward  the  value  creation  developed  by  the 
executives in driving growth in the business. The LTVC scheme is based on exceeding a specified share price hurdle 
of $0.30 in any of the three observation periods (2018, 2019 and 2020). The entitlement will be paid in shares in iCar 
Asia Limited and the number of entitlements will be based on the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Group’s 
share price exceeding the baseline share price of $0.18 in the December of the relevant observation period. Each 
executive will receive a share of the value created, which is calculated as the excess of the share price hurdle to the 
baseline share price multiplied by the number of shares on issue at the end of the relevant observation period. 

The entitlements also contain vesting conditions based on a required service period for each observation period end 
and vest 60% in the January following the observation period and 40% in the January twelve months thereafter.

C   Service agreements 

Remuneration and other terms of employment for key management personnel are formalised in service agreements. 

LTI incentives are paid to Key Management Personnel according to the achievement of performance targets which 
are set half yearly as follow: 

  50%  on  achievement  of  Group  Revenue  and  EBITDA  targets.  EBITDA  targets  are  treated  as  a  'gate'  to 

achievement and if not met, no reward is made under this category. 

  30% on 'vibrancy' metrics targets: 
o  Website audience. 
o  Volume of consumer leads delivered through the portals. 
o  Volume of paying accounts (new and used car). 
o  Volume of used cars listed in the sales markets. 

  10% on employee engagement targets as assessed by an employee net promoter score derived from an internal 

survey. 

  10% on achievement of function-specific strategic goals. 

For  the  Chief  Financial  Officer  these  strategic  goals  involve  delivery  of  cost  control  measures,  operations  team 
projects and cross-functional conversion initiatives. 

For the Chief Information Officer the goals involve the timely provision of products and technical capabilities for the 
Group and efficiencies in the delivery process. 

For the Chief Marketing Officer the goals involve delivery of specific marketing strategy projects, brand assessment 
and financial performance in the Media division. 

The  Chief  Executive  Officer’s  goals  aggregate  those  given  to  the  other  key  management  personnel  and  align  to 
specific strategic milestones. 

The following table outlines the proportion of maximum LTI earned in relation to the financial year ended 2019. There 
were no employees in service at 31 December 2019 entitled to the STI incentive.

2.  Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 

2.3 Changes in accounting policies, disclosures, standards and interpretations 

(i)  Changes in accounting policies, new and amended standards and interpretations 
The  Group  applied,  for  the  first  time,  certain  standards  and  amendments  which  are  effective  for  annual  periods 
beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2019.The  nature  and  the  impact  of  each  new  standard  and/or  amendment  is 
described below: 

Adoption of AASB 16 Leases (‘AASB 16’) 

AASB 16 requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model in a similar way to finance 
leases  under AASB  117 Leases. The standard  includes two recognition exemptions for lessees  –  leases of ’low-
value’ assets (e.g., personal computers) and short-term leases (i.e., leases with a lease term of 12 months or less). 
At the commencement date of a lease,  a  lessee  will  recognise a  liability  to make lease payments (i.e., the lease 
liability) and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e., the right-of-use 
asset). 

Lessees  will  be  required  to  separately  recognise  the  interest  expense  on  the  lease  liability  and  the  depreciation 
expense on the right-of-use asset. 

Lessees will be required to remeasure the lease liability upon the occurrence of certain events (e.g., a change in the 
lease term and a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine 
those payments). The lessee will generally recognise the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an 
adjustment to the right-of-use asset. 

Lessor  accounting  is  substantially  unchanged  from  lease  accounting  under  AASB  117  other  than  in  respect  of 
subleases, for which lease classification is performed by reference to the head lease right-of-use asset rather than 
for underlying asset. Lessors will continue to classify all leases using the same classification principle as in AASB 
117 and distinguish between two types of leases: operating and finance leases. 

The Group’s leasing activities and how these are accounted for: 

The Group leases offices, warehouse and office equipment. Rental contracts are typically for period of 1 to 4 years. 

From 1 January 2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which 
the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance 
cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of 
interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter 
of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. 

Liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present 
value of the following lease payments: 
fixed payments, and 
• 
payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option. 
• 

Following transition lease payments are discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate if the interest rate 
implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the 
funds  necessary  to  obtain  an  asset  of  similar  value  in  a  similar  economic  environment  with  similar  terms  and 
conditions. 

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

the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability 
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received 
any initial direct cost

Adoption of AASB 16 Leases (‘AASB 16’) (continued) 

• 

an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying  
asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition  
required by the terms and conditions of the lease 

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis 
as an expense  in  the statement of comprehensive  income. Short-term leases are leases  with a  lease term of 12 
months or less. Low-value assets comprise office equipment. 

The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered 
by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to 
terminate the lease, it if is reasonably certain not to be exercised. 

The Group has the option, under some of its leases to lease the assets for additional terms of two to five years. The 
Group applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain to  exercise the option to renew the rental. 
That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the renewal. After the 
commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in management 
decision that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise the option to renew. 

The Group has recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating 
leases’  under  the  principles  of  AASB  117  Leases.  These  liabilities  were  measured  at  the  present  value  of  the 
remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of 1 January 2019. The rate 
applied to the lease liabilities on 1 January 2019 for Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia  was 12%. The associated 
right-of-use assets for property leases were measured on a modified retrospective basis as if AASB 16 had always 
been applied. The Group applied the practical expedient to rely on its assessment that there were no onerous lease 
contracts that would have required an adjustment to the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application and not 
to separate lease and non-lease components.  

The Group also applied the available practical expedients wherein it: 

•  Used a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics 
•  Relied on its assessment of whether leases are onerous immediately before the date of initial application 
•  Applied the short-term leases exemptions to leases with lease term that ends within 12 months of the date 

of initial application 

•  Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial 

application 

•  Used hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contained options to extend or terminate 

the lease

Adoption of AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment 

The Interpretation addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve  uncertainty that affects 
the application of AASB 12 Income Taxes ('AASB 112') and does not apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of 
AASB 112, nor does it specifically include requirements relating to interest and penalties associated with uncertain 
tax treatments. The Interpretation specifically addresses the following: 

•  Whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately 
•  The assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities 
•  How an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates 
•  How an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances 

An entity has to determine whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or together with one or more 
other  uncertain  tax  treatments.  The  approach  that  better  predicts  the  resolution  of  the  uncertainty  needs  to  be 
followed. 

The Group applies significant judgement in identifying uncertainties over income tax treatments. Since the Group 
operates  in  a  complex  multinational  environment,  it  assessed  whether  the  Interpretation  had  an  impact  on  its 
consolidated financial statements. 

Upon adoption of the Interpretation,  the Group considered  whether it has any  uncertain  tax positions, particularly 
those relating to transfer pricing. The Group determined, based on its tax compliance and transfer pricing study that 
it is probable that its tax treatments (including those for the subsidiaries) will be accepted by the taxation authorities. 
The interpretation did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

2.3 Changes in accounting policies, disclosures, standards and interpretations 

(ii)  Changes in accounting policies, new and amended standards and interpretations but not yet effective 

AASB 2019-1 Conceptual Framework 

The  revised  Conceptual  Framework  includes  some  new  concepts,  provides  updated  definitions  and  recognition 
criteria for assets and liabilities and clarifies some important concepts. It is arranged in eight chapters, as follows: 

► Chapter 1 – The objective of financial reporting 
► Chapter 2 – Qualitative characteristics of useful financial information 
► Chapter 3 – Financial statements and the reporting entity 
► Chapter 4 – The elements of financial statements 
► Chapter 5 – Recognition and derecognition 
► Chapter 6 – Measurement 
► Chapter 7 – Presentation and disclosure 
► Chapter 8 – Concepts of capital and capital maintenance 

AASB  2019-1  has  also  been  issued,  which  sets  out  the  amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards, 
Interpretations and other pronouncements in order to update references to the revised Conceptual Framework. The 
changes to  the Conceptual Framework may affect the application  of accounting  standards in situations  where no 
standard applies to a particular transaction or event. In addition, relief has been provided in applying AASB 3 and 
developing accounting policies for regulatory account balances using AASB 108, such that entities must continue to 
apply the definitions of an asset and a liability (and supporting concepts) in the Framework for the Preparation and 
Presentation of Financial Statements (July 2004), and not the definitions in the revised Conceptual Framework 

The Group does not expect this standard will have a significant impact on the Group financial report however it will 
continue to assess this. 

AASB 2018-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of a Business 

The Standard amends the definition of a business in AASB 3 Business Combinations. The amendments clarify the 
minimum  requirements  for  a  business,  remove  the  assessment  of  whether  market  participants  are  capable  of 
replacing missing elements, add guidance to help entities assess whether an acquired process is substantive, narrow 
the definitions of a business and of outputs, and introduce an optional fair value concentration test.  

The Group does not expect this standard will have a significant impact on the Group financial report however it will 
continue to assess this. 

AASB 2018-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of Material 

This Standard amends AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements and AAS 108 Accounting Policies, 
Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors to align the definition of ‘material’ across the standards and to clarify 
certain aspects of the definition. The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of 
information. An entity will need to assess whether the information, either individually or in combination with other 
information, is material in the context of the financial statements. A misstatement of information is material if it could 
reasonably be expected to influence decisions made by the primary users. 

The Group does not expect this standard will have an impact on the Group financial report however it will continue 
to assess this.

2.  Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 

2.4 Significant accounting policies 

a) Basis of consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of the Group at 31 December 2019 and 
the results for the year then ended. 

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, 
or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the  investee  and  has the ability to  affect those returns 
through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if, and only if, the Group has: 

•  Power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the 

investee) 

•  Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee 
•  The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns 

The effects of potential exercisable voting rights are considered when assessing whether control exists. Subsidiaries 
are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the 
date that control ceases. 

Intercompany  transactions,  balances  and  unrealised  gains  on  transactions  between  entities  in  the  Group  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 Group. 

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Refer to the 'business 
combinations'  accounting  policy  for  further  details.  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. 

Where the Group 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 
Group 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. 

b) Current versus non-current classification 

The  Group  presents  assets  and  liabilities  in  the  statement  of  financial  position  based  on  current/non-current 
classification. An asset is current when it is: 

•  Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle 
•  Held primarily for the purpose of trading 
•  Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period 
Or 
•  Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at  least twelve 

months after the reporting period 

All other assets are classified as non-current.

b) Current versus non-current classification (continued) 

A liability is current when: 

It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle 
It is held primarily for the purpose of trading 
It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period   

• 
• 
• 
Or 
•  There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting 

period 

The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current. 

c) Business combinations 

The acquisition method of  accounting  is used to  account for business combinations regardless of  whether  equity 
instruments or other assets are acquired. 

The  consideration  transferred  is  the  sum  of  the  acquisition-date  fair  values  of  the  assets  transferred,  equity 
instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the Group to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-
controlling  interest  in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling  interest  in the acquiree is 
measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. All acquisition 
costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss. 

On the acquisition of a business, the Group assesses the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate 
classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group's operating 
or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date. 

Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the Group re-measures its previously held equity interest in 
the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying 
amount is recognised in profit or loss. 

Contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent 
changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. 
Contingent  consideration  classified  as  equity  is  not  re-measured  and  its  subsequent  settlement  is  accounted  for 
within equity. 

The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling 
interest  in  the  acquiree  and  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  transferred  and  the  fair  value  of  any  pre-existing 
investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value 
is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the group, the difference 
is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the group on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment 
of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, 
the consideration transferred and the Group's previously held equity interest in the Group. 

Business  combinations  are  initially  accounted  for  on  a  provisional  basis.  The  Group  retrospectively  adjusts  the 
provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, 
based  on  new  information  obtained  about  the  facts  and  circumstances  that  existed  at  the  acquisition-date.  The 
measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the Group 
receives all the information possible to determine fair value.

d) Foreign currency translation 

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is the functional  currency of the parent entity and the 
presentation currency of the Group. 

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 

In  preparing  the  financial  statements  of  the  individual  entities,  transactions  in  currencies  other  than  the  entity’s 
functional  currency  (foreign  currencies)  are  recorded  at  the  rates  of  exchange  prevailing  on  the  dates  of  the 
transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the 
rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign 
currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary 
items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. 

Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for exchange differences 
on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned or likely 
to occur, which form part of the net investment in a foreign operation, and which are recognised in the foreign currency 
translation reserve and recognised in profit or loss on disposal of the net investment. 

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars, 
being  the  Group's  presentation  currency,  at  exchange  rates  prevailing  on  the  balance  sheet  date.  Income  and 
expense  items  are  translated  at  the  average  exchange  rates  for  the  period,  unless  exchange  rates  fluctuated 
significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange 
differences arising, if any, are classified as equity and transferred to the Group's translation reserve. Such exchange 
differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the foreign operation is disposed. 

Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts 
of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign  operation and 
translated at the closing spot rate at the reporting date. 

e) Revenue from contracts with customers 

The Group is in the business of operating internet based automotive portals. The portals cater to two automotive 
market segments, being used car buyers and new car buyers. 

Revenue is measured based on  the consideration specified in a contract  with a customer and excludes amounts 
collected on behalf of third parties. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control of a product or service 
to a customer. 

The Group assesses each arrangement to determine whether the Group acts as principal or agent based on whether 
the Group controls the product or service before transferring it to the end customer. Where the Group acts as principal, 
revenue is recorded on a gross basis versus on a net basis where the Group acts as agent. Refer to Note 4 for details 
on the pattern of revenue recognition.

e) Revenue from contracts with customers (continued) 

Used Car 

Classifieds revenue 
(a)  Subscription  revenue  –  Customers  (car  sellers)  pay  a  subscription  fee  to  have  access  to  iCar’s  websites  to 
advertise cars for sale. Subscription periods are typically for 6 or 12 months and are paid upfront by the customer.   
(b) Depth credits revenue – Depth credits allow a customer to enhance the visibility of their car sale listing on iCar’s 
websites by ‘bumping’ their advertisement higher up the search listing on the site. Depth credits are paid for upfront 
and are able to be used by the customer for a specified period of time before expiry. The expiry period ranges from 
4 to 24 weeks.  

Auction Commissions 
Customers (car sellers) list cars for sale by way of buyer auction facilitated by iCar’s websites. For facilitating the 
auction on our websites, iCar earns an auction commission from the car seller based on a percentage of the sale 
price of the car, when the car is sold. The commissions are included in receipts from customers in the statement of 
changes in cash flows and therefore excludes the the gross amount paid / received [as the case may be] for the 
vehicle. 

Other Commissions 
Commissions are earned by iCar in relation to the sale of warranty, inspection and private seller service. In these 
arrangements, iCar acts as agent not principal, as iCar does not control the services before they are transferred to 
the customer. 

Trading revenue 
Customers (car sellers) sells the cars to iCar’s directly and iCar will in turn sell to dealers. iCar holds the cars for a 
short period and makes a profit/loss on the difference between the purchase price from car sellers and selling price 
to dealers.  

New Car 

New Car Dealers 
(a) Subscription revenue  – Dealers pay a subscription fee to have access to iCar’s websites to advertise cars for 
sale. Subscription periods are for 6 or 12 months and are paid upfront by the dealers.   
(b) Lead Revenue – Dealers pay for lead packets generated by iCar’s websites that they may use to pursue and 
close out a new car sale transaction. Prepaid lead credits are paid for upfront and are able to be used by the dealer 
for a specified period of time before expiry. The expiry period ranges from 3 months to 6 months.  

Media 
Automotive  and  non-automotive  customers  promote  their  companies  using  on-site  banner,  video  placement, 
electronic direct mail or via the use of ‘advertorial’ written or video content. Payment is generally due within 30 to 90 
days of delivery. Revenue is recognised: 
  on a straight line basis according to the proportion of the period of the campaign that has elapsed.  Invoices paid 

prior to the completion of the project will be initially recognised as a contract liability in the statement of  
financial position and recognised on a straight line basis as the services are delivered;  

 
  on the delivery or mailing of such a product where there are no remaining obligations to maintain or host content.  
Where  the  Group  provides  media  advertising  services  to  a  customer  and  in  exchange  receives  non-cash 
consideration  in  the  form  of  products  or  services,  the  Group  applies  the  requirements  of  AASB  13  Fair  Value 
Measurement in measuring the value of the products or services received, If the fair value of the services or products 
received cannot be reasonably estimated, the consideration is measured indirectly by reference to the stand-alone 
selling price of the media advertising services provided.

e) Revenue from contracts with customers (continued) 

Events 
iCar holds physical automotive events for one manufacturer or a multi-brand event including parts, accessories and 
ancillary services. 

For the purposes of allocating event consideration between performance obligations, the standalone selling price of 
the floor space / services at the event (‘booth space’) is estimated on a cost plus standard margin basis whereby the 
larger the booth space, the cheaper the per square metre price. Booth space revenue is recognised when the event 
takes place. 

Allocation of the transaction price for bundled services 
Where services are sold as a bundled offering, the Group allocates the consideration to each service based on the 
relative  standalone  selling  prices  for  each  service.  The  standalone  selling  prices  are  observable  as  the  Group 
regularly sells each service on a standalone basis.  

Significant financing component 
Due to the short-term nature of advances from customers, the Group’s customer contracts do not contain a significant 
financing component. 

Contract balances 
Trade receivables 
A receivable represents the Group’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional. Refer to accounting 
policies of financial assets in section l) Financial instruments – initial recognition and subsequent measurement.  

Contract assets 
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the  
Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before 
payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional. 

Contract liabilities 
A  contract  liability  is  the  obligation  to  transfer  goods  or  services  to  customer  for  which  the  Group  has  received 
consideration from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Group transfers goods or services to 
the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due. Contract liabilities 
are recognised as revenue when the Group performs the service under the contract. 

Costs to obtain a contract 
Sales employees are set targets based on total revenue and specific activities within their allocated client base and 
are rewarded tiered percentages of their contracted commission pools. In the circumstances where the 
commissions are incremental to obtain the customer contract, the Group has elected to apply the optional practical 
expedient for costs to obtain a contract which allows the Group to immediately expense sales commissions 
because the amortisation period of the asset that the Group otherwise would have used is one year or less.

f) Taxes 

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

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

•  When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability 
in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the 
accounting nor taxable profits; or 

•  When the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in 
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  except  when  the 
deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or 
liability  in  a  transaction  that  is  not  a  business  combination  and,  at  the  time  of  the  transaction,  affects  neither  the 
accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss including the initial recognition of lease. 

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

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

Tax benefits acquired as part of a business combination, but not satisfying the criteria for separate recognition at that 
date, are recognised subsequently if new information about facts and circumstances change. The adjustment is either 
treated as a reduction in goodwill (as long as it does not exceed goodwill) if it was incurred during the measurement 
period or recognised in profit and loss. 

Other taxes 
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated VAT/GST, unless the VAT/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 VAT/GST receivable or payable. The net amount of 
VAT/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  on  a  gross  basis.  The  VAT/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 VAT/GST recoverable from, or payable to, the 
tax authority.

g) Property, plant and equipment 

Plant  and  equipment,  leasehold  improvements  and  equipment  under  finance  lease  are  stated  at  cost  less 
accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of 
the item. In the event that settlement of all or part of the purchase consideration is deferred, cost is determined by 
discounting the amounts payable in the future to their present value as at the date of acquisition. 

Depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment. Depreciation  is calculated using either straight line or 
diminishing  value  based  on  the  assessed  appropriateness  of  each  method  for  each  entity  within  the  company. 
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the period of the lease or estimated useful life, whichever is the shorter. 
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting 
period, with the effect of any changes recognised on a prospective basis. 

The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation: 

Plant and equipment 
Office equipment 
Furniture and fittings 
Leased plant and equipment  

2-5 years 
3-5 years 
3-5 years 
3-5 years 

The useful lives are unchanged from the prior reporting period. 

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

h) Leases 

The  determination  of  whether  an  arrangement  is  a  lease  is  based  on  the  substance  of  the  arrangement  at  the 
inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the 
use of a specific asset and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset, even if that asset is not explicitly in an 
arrangement. 

Group as a lessee(comparative year) 
A lease is classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease that transfers substantially 
all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the Group is classified as a finance lease. 

Finance lease are capitalised at the commencement of the lease at the inception date fair value of the leased property 
or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance 
charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of 
the liability. Finance charges are recognised in finance costs in the statement of profit or loss. 

A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the 
Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated 
useful life of the asset and the lease term. 

An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease. Operating lease payments are recognised as an operating 
expense in the statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 

Group as lessee AASB 16 (Applicable 1 January 2019)  
The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases 
and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use 
assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

h) Leases (continued) 

At the commencement date of a lease, the Group recognises a liability to make lease payments (i.e., the lease liability) 
and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e., the right-of-use asset). 

The Group separately recognises the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense  on the 
right-of-use asset.  The Group will remeasure the lease liability upon the occurrence of certain events (e.g., a change 
in the lease term and a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine 
those payments). The Group will generally recognise the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an 
adjustment to the right-of-use asset. 

i) Intangible assets 

Goodwill 
Goodwill  arising  in  a  business  combination  is  recognised  as  an  asset  at  the  date  that  control  is  acquired  (the 
acquisition date). Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any 
non-controlling  interests  in  the  acquiree,  and  the  fair  value  of  the  Group’s  previously  held  equity  interest  in  the 
acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities 
assumed. 

If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets exceeds the sum 
of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the 
Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss 
as a bargain purchase gain. 

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination 
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are identified and recognised separately from goodwill where 
they satisfy the definition of an intangible asset and their fair values can be measured reliably.  Subsequent to initial 
recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation 
and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately. 

Intangible assets acquired separately 
Intangible  assets  acquired  separately  are  recorded  at  cost  less  accumulated  amortisation  and  impairment. 
Amortisation  is  charged  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  their  estimated  useful  lives.  The  estimated  useful  life  and 
amortisation method is reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with any changes in these accounting 
estimates being accounted for on a prospective basis. 

Internally-generated intangible assets – research and development expenditure 
Expenditure  on  research  activities  is  recognised  as  an  expense  in  the  period  in  which  it  is  incurred.  Where  no 
internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised as an expense in 
the period as incurred. 

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

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

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

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

i) Intangible assets (continued) 

The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from 
the  date  when  the  intangible  asset  first  meets  the  recognition  criteria  listed  above.  Employee  costs  included  in 
internally generated intangible assets are included in operating activities under payments to supplier and employees 
in the cash flow statement. Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at 
cost  less  accumulated  amortisation  and  accumulated  impairment  losses,  on  the  same  basis  as  intangible  assets 
acquired separately. Internally generated intangible assets are generally amortised over 3 - 5 years. 

Acquired software 
Software is not considered to have an indefinite life and is generally amortised over 3 - 5 years.  If at any point the 
software is no longer in use or continuing to generate future economic benefits it will be written down to zero. 

Intangible Assets with indefinite useful life 
Intangible  assets  with  indefinite  useful  lives  are  not  amortised,  but  are  tested  for  impairment  annually,  either 
individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine 
whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made 
on a prospective basis. 

j) Impairment of non-financial assets 

Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment at least annually. For the purpose of impairment testing, 
goodwill  is  allocated  to  each  of  the  Group’s  cash-generating  units  expected  to  benefit  from  the  synergies  of  the 
combination. Cash-generating units (‘CGUs’) to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, 
or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired and these CGU’s are not larger than an 
operating  segment.  If  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  cash-generating  unit  is  less  than  its  carrying  amount,  the 
impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the 
other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss 
recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period. 

The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The Group 
bases its impairment calculations  on  detailed budget  and forecast calculations  which are  prepared separately for 
each CGU covering a period of five years. The first year of the period becomes the Annual Budget for the Group for 
the following year. A further four years are extrapolated at projected growth rates for both revenue and costs which 
management consider are appropriate for the business cycle and the markets the CGUs operate in. The five year 
cashflows are discounted using a weighted average cost of capital (‘WACC’). WACC calculations are made for each 
CGU based upon prevailing long-term bond rates and market risk premiums. CGU-specific terminal multiples (‘TMs’) 
are  applied  to  discounted  fifth  year  cashflows.  The  TM  is  derived  from  WACC  rates  and  long-term  growth  rates 
(‘LTGR’) using Gordon’s Growth Formula. 

Given the sensitivity of growth rates for both revenue and expenses due to stage of where the Group and the markets 
for which it operates are at, a range of possible scenarios are modelled to assess the carrying value of goodwill for 
impairment. These scenarios include: uplifts and downgrades of revenue assumptions and WACC and LTGR rates 
above and below those calculated. 

On disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss 
on disposal. 

k) Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash comprises cash on hand and on demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments 
that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in 
value. The Group holds no bank overdraft.

l) Financial instruments - initial recognition and subsequent measurement 

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity 
instrument of another entity. 

i) Financial assets 
Initial recognition and measurement 
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through 
other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss. 

The  classification  of  financial  assets  at  initial  recognition  depends  oin  the  financial  asset's  contractual  cash  flow 
characteristics and the Group's business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do 
not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient, the Group 
initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit 
or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the 
Group has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under AASB 15. Refer 
to the accounting policies in section 2.4 (e). 

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to 
give rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the principal amount outstanding. 
This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. 

The Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to 
generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash 
flows, selling the financial assets, or both. 

Subsequent measurement 
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories: 
 
 
 

Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments) 
Financial assets at fair value through OCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments) 
Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon 
derecognition (equity instruments) 
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 

 

Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments) 
The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met: 
 

The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect 
contractual cash flows, and 
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments 
of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding 

 

Financial  assets  at  amortised  cost  are  subsequently  measured  using  the  effective  interest  (EIR)  method  and  are 
subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or 
impaired. 

The Group's financial assets at amortised cost are trade receivables. 

Derecognition 
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets)  is 
primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position) when:  
 
 

The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or 
The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay 
the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement.

l) Financial instruments - initial recognition and subsequent measurement (continued) 

Impairment of financial assets 
The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value 
through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with 
the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original 
effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit 
enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms. 

For trade receivables and  contract assets, the Group applies a simplified  approach in calculating expected credit 
losses (ECLs). Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance 
based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has assessed the risk from a provision matrix that is based 
on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic 
environment. 

The Group considers a financial  asset  in default  when contractual  payments  are  any  time past due. However,  in 
certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information 
indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account 
any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation 
of recovering the contractual cash flows. 

ii) Financial liabilities 
Initial recognition and measurement 
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans 
and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. 

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net 
of directly attributable transaction costs. 

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables and loans and borrowings. 

Subsequent measurement 
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using 
the  effective  interest  rate  (EIR)  method.  Gains  and  losses  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  when  the  liabilities  are 
derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process. 

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are 
an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.

l) Financial instruments - initial recognition and subsequent measurement (continued) 

Derecognition 
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When 
an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms 
of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of 
the  original  liability  and  the  recognition  of  a  new  liability.  The  difference  in  the  respective  carrying  amounts  is 
recognised in the statement of profit or loss. 

iii) Offsetting of financial instruments 
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of 
financial  position  if  there  is  a  currently  enforceable  legal  right  to  offset  the  recognised  amounts  and  there  is  an 
intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. 

m) 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. 

n) Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past 
event, it is probable that the company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made 
of the amount of the obligation.   

The  amount  recognised  as  a  provision  is  the  best  estimate  of  the  consideration  required  to  settle  the  present 
obligation  at  reporting  date,  taking  into  account  the  risks  and  uncertainties  surrounding  the  obligation.  Where  a 
provision  is  measured  using  the  cash  flows  estimated  to  settle  the  present  obligation,  its  carrying  amount  is  the 
present value of those cash flows. 

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third 
party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the 
amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. 

o) Employee benefits 

Wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave 

A  liability  is  recognised  for  benefits  accruing  to  employees  in  respect  of  wages  and  salaries,  annual  leave,  long 
service  leave  and  sick  leave  when  it  is  probable  that  settlement  will  be  required  and  they  are  capable  of  being 
measured reliably. Liabilities recognised in respect of employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months, 
are  measured  at  their  nominal  values  using  the  remuneration  rate  expected  to  apply  at  the  time  of  settlement. 
Liabilities  recognised  in  respect  of  employee  benefits  which  are  not  expected  to  be  settled  within  12  months  are 
measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of services 
provided by employees up to reporting. 

Defined contribution superannuation expense 

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed when incurred.

o) Employee benefits (continued) 

Defined benefit pension plan 

In Indonesia, the Group provides a defined benefit pension plan to its employees in conformity with the requirements 
of  Indonesia  Labour  Law  No.  13/2003.  The  cost  of  providing  benefits  under  the  defined  benefit  pension  plan  is 
determined using the projected unit credit method. 

The  Group  applies  the  policy  for  recognising  actuarial  gains  or  losses,  which  are  directly  recognised  in  other 
comprehensive income. 

All past service costs are recognised at the earlier of when the amendment/curtailment occurs and when the related 
restructuring or termination costs are recognized. As a result, unvested past service costs can no longer be deferred 
and recognised over the future vesting period. 

Share-based payments 

The Group measures the cost of equity settled transactions with employees and other parties based on the fair value 
of the equity provided at the grant date. 

Where it is with employees in relation to performance payments in the future, the fair value is estimated based on an 
estimation of the probability  of all  performance criteria being met. This value is  then used to discount the  current 
value  of  the  equity  to  determine  an  appropriate  amount  to  be  expensed  each  period  until  the  vesting  date.  The 
estimate will have no impact on the carrying amount of the assets or liabilities of the company but may impact the 
value of expenses and equity in the current and future 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 Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated 
as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Group 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. 

p) 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. 

q) Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share 

Basic  earnings  per  share  is  calculated  by  dividing  the  profit  attributable  to  the  owners  of  iCar  Asia  Limited  and 
Controlled  Entities,  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.

q) Earnings per share 

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. 

r) Comparative amounts 
Certain comparatives have been updated to ensure consistency with the presentation in the current period. 

3.  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 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. 

Revenue from contracts with customers 

The Group applied the following judgements that significantly affect the determination of the amount and timing of 
revenue from contracts with customers: 

The  Group  provides  media  services  that  are  either  sold  separately  or  bundled  together  as  part  of  a  customer 
campaign. The media services are a promise to transfer services in the future and are part of the negotiated exchange 
between the Group and the customer. The Group determined that the performance obligations (on-site banner, video 
placement, electronic direct mail or via the use of ‘advertorial’ written or video content) are capable of being distinct. 
The fact that the Group regularly sells these services on a stand-alone basis indicates that the customer can benefit 
from both products on their own. Consequently, the Group allocated a portion of the transaction price to each of the 
services in the customer contract based on relative stand-alone selling prices. 

The Group engages in partnership agreements with entities in the online media, finance and automotive sectors to 
cross-promote  goods  and  services.  The  Group  is  required  to  estimate  the  fair  value  of  the  cash  and  non-cash 
consideration received or promised from the customer for goods or services received, and where this is not possible, 
estimate the fair value of the goods or services provided. 

Provision for expected credit losses of trade receivables and contract assets 

The Group uses a provision matrix to calculate ECLs for trade receivables and contract assets. The provision rates 
are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments that have similar loss patterns. 

The provision matrix is initially based on the Group’s historical observed default rates. The Group has calibrated the 
matrix to adjust the historical credit loss experience  with forward-looking information.  At every reporting date, the 
historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed. The Group 
has historically  experienced low  levels of non-collection as the customers to which credit  has been extended are 
large, credit-worthy institutions. Smaller customers, in particular the dealers that advertise on iCar’s wesbites, are 
required to pay in advance. 

The assessment of the correlation between historical observed default rates, forecast economic conditions and ECLs 
is a significant estimate. The amount of ECLs may be sensitive to changes in circumstances and of forecast economic 
conditions.  The  Group’s  historical  credit  loss  experience  and  forecast  of  economic  conditions  may  also  not  be 
representative of customer’s actual default in the future.

3.  Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)  

Estimation of useful lives of assets 

The Group 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. 

Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 

The Group 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 13. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-
in-use calculations. 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. 

Development costs 

The  Group  capitalises  costs  for  product  development  projects,  related  to  Customer  Relationship  Management 
platforms, websites and mobile applications. Initial capitalisation of costs is based on management’s judgement that 
technological and economic feasibility is demonstrated. In determining the amounts to be capitalised, management 
makes assumptions regarding the expected future cash generation of the project, discount rates to be applied and 
the expected period of benefits. 

Share-based payments 

Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation 
model, which depends on the terms and conditions of the grant. The estimate also requires determination of the most 
appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option or appreciation right, volatility 
and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. See note 32 Share-based payments for further details. 

Defined benefit pension plan 

The present value of pension obligations are determined using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial valuation 
includes making various assumptions which consist of, among other things, discount rates, rates of compensation 
increases, disability rate and mortality rates. Actual results that differ from the Group’s assumptions are recognised 
as  actuarial  gain/loss  in  other  comprehensive  income.  Due  to  the  complexity  of  the  valuation,  the  underlying 
assumptions and the long-term nature of the obligation, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in 
assumptions. 

The Group measures defined benefit obligation on a basis that reflects estimated future salary increase that affect 
the  benefits  payable.  Generally,  the  future  salary  incremental  rate  is  determined  based  on  the  followin  inflation 
ranging from 9%- 10%. Discount rate is used to determine the present value of defined benefit obligation at valuation 
date. The discount rate is determined based on the Indonesian Government Bond Spot Rate at the end of reporting 
period in accordance with the estimated maturity of post-employment benefits obligations for the remaining of the 
working period of each employee. 

While the Group believes that its assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, significant differences in the Group’s 
actual experience or significant changes in its assumptions may materially affect the costs and obligations of pension 
and other long-term employee benefits. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

3.  Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)  

Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options – Group as lessee 

The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered 
by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered The Group has 
several lease contracts that include extension and termination options.  
The Group applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to 
renew  or  terminate  the  lease.  That  is,  it  considers  all  relevant  factors  that  create  an  economic  incentive  for  it  to 
exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term if 
there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not 
to exercise the option to renew or to terminate (e.g., construction of significant leasehold improvements or significant 
customisation to the leased asset).by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. 

Refer to Note 12 for information on potential future rental payments relating to periods following the  
exercise date of extension and termination options that are not included in the lease term. 

Leases - Estimating the incremental borrowing rate 

The Group cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing 
rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Group 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 IBR therefore reflects what the Group ‘would have to pay’, which 
requires estimation when no observable rates are available (such as for subsidiaries that do not enter into financing 
transactions) or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease (for example, when 
leases are not in the subsidiary’s functional currency). The Group estimates the IBR using observable inputs when 
available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates.

iCar Asia Limited and Controlled Entities 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended 31 December 2019 

4.  Revenue (continued) 

Contract  assets  are  initially  recognised  for  revenue  earned  from  media  services  as  receipt  of  consideration  is 
conditional on successful completion of the services. Upon completion of the services, and invoice to the customer, 
the amounts recognised as contract assets are reclassified to trade receivables. 

Contract liabilities are upfront payments from customer for subscriptions and depth credits, both in the used car and 
new car market segments. The outstanding balances of these accounts increased in 2019 due to the continuous 
increase in the Group’s customer base, growth in the New Car segment and price increases for both subscriptions 
and depth credits. Contract liabilities recorded as at 31 December 2018 has been recognised as revenue in full in 
the current year ($1,307,912). 

As the Group’s customer contracts have an original expected duration of one year or less, the Group has elected not 
to disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied 
as of the end of the reporting period. There is no variable consideration in iCar’s contracts with customers, therefore 
there is no consideration from contracts with customers that is not included in the transaction price. 

C. Performance obligations

Trading revenue

5.  Segment information  

Identification of reportable segments 
The Group identifies the chief operating decision maker (‘CODM’) as the executive management team. Information 
reported to the executive management team for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of performance 
is more specifically focused on the geographic location of services provided. Consistent with information presented 
for internal executive management reporting purposes, the result of each segment is measured based on earnings 
before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (‘EBITDA’). 

The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial 
statements. 

The company's reportable segments comprise Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. No operating segments have been 
aggregated to form the below reportable segments. 

Intersegment transactions 
Intersegment transactions were made at market rates.  Intersegment transactions are eliminated on consolidation.  

Allocation of resources between segments 
All assets are allocated to reportable segments except deferred tax assets as these are not recognised. 
All liabilities are allocated to reportable segments except deferred tax liabilities. 

Major customers 
Revenue is generated from external customers. The Group does not have a major customer that contributes 10% or 
more to the Group's revenue.

7.  Income tax expense 

Income tax recognised in profit or loss 

Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these losses as in the opinion of the directors the recovery 
of this benefit is uncertain as the subsidiaries to which the losses relate have been loss-making for some time, and 
there  is  no  other  evidence  of  recoverability  in  the  near  future.  The  tax  losses  are  available  for  use  subject  to 
compliance with relevant tax rules, for offsetting against future taxable profits.

Autospinn.com carrying  value is amortised over 10  years. The life of the One2car.com brand intangible assets is 
indefinite as it is the intention of the Group to always operate the One2car.com brand due its market reputation and 
high levels of unpaid online traffic. The One2car.com customer base intangible asset has a life of 6 years reflecting 
historical customer churn. Internally-generated intangible assets are amortised over 3-5  years. Amortisation rates 
are unchanged from the financial year ended 31 December 2018. 

Impairment testing of goodwill and indefinite life intangibles 

The  Group  performed  its  annual  impairment  test  at  31  December  2019.  The  Group  considers  the  relationship 
between  its  market  capitalisation  and  its  book  value,  among  other  factors,  when  assessing  for  indicators  of 
impairment. As at 31 December 2019, the market capitalisation of the Group was higher than the book value of its 
equity. 

The Group’s impairment test for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives is determined based on a 
value-in-use valuation. The value-in-use valuations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved 
by  the  Board  covering  a  5  year  forecast  period,  and  a  terminal  value  based  upon  an  extrapolation  of  cash  flows 
beyond the 5 year period using a constant growth rate of 3% -5%per annum. The discount rate applied reflects the 
current market assessment of the time value of money adjusted for a risk premium to reflect the risk of the specific 
cash generating units (‘CGU’).  

The 5 year Group cash flows assume that revenues rise significantly year on year due to increased penetration of 
the used and new car market, the continued migration of advertising monies to from offline to online and a strong 
ASEAN automotive advertising market. Long term growth rates are set by country reflecting relative long-term GDP 
growth, consequent rise in car ownership and iCar’s market leading positions. 

Management have determined the appropriate WACC discount rate and long term growth rates (‘LTGR’) for each of 
the CGUs as follows: 

Malaysia 
Thailand 
PT Car Classifieds Indonesia 

WACC rate 
14.2% (2018: 14.2%)  
13.2% (2018: 13.2%) 
16.8% 

Long term growth rates 
3% (2018: 3%) 
3% (2018: 3%) 
3% 

The CGU’s are equivalent to the reportable segments. 

The Malaysian CGU includes the exploitation of Carlist.my and Live Life Drive assets. The Thailand CGU includes

13.  Non-current assets- Intangibles and Goodwill (continued) 

Malaysia CGU 

The Group used the CGU's value in use to determine the recoverable amount, which exceeded the carrying amount. 
The projected cash flows were updated to reflect the 5 year plan assumptions and a pre-tax discount rate of 14.2% 
(2018: 14.2%) was applied. A long term growth rate of 3% (2018: 3%) was used to extrapolate year 5 cash flows. 
Management have prepared scenarios to consider the effect of changes in growth rates, discount rate and terminal 
growth rates. 

The recoverable amount of the Malaysian CGU is greater than the carrying value as at 31 December 2019. Variations 
to  the  key  assumptions  used  to  determine  the  recoverable  amount  would  result  in  a  change  in  the  assessed 
recoverable amount. If the variation in assumptions has a negative impact on recoverable amount it could indicate a 
requirement for an impairment expense. 

No reasonable possible changes in assumptions that would result in an impairment were identified by management. 

Thailand CGU 

The Group used the CGU’s value-in-use valuation to determine the recoverable amount, which exceeded the carrying 
amount. The projected cash flows were updated to reflect the 5 year plan assumptions and a pre-tax discount rate 
of 13.2% (2018: 13.2%) was applied. A long term growth rate of 3% (2018: 3%) was used to extrapolate year 5 cash 
flows. Management have prepared scenarios to consider the effect of changes in growth rates, discount rate and 
terminal multiples. 

The  recoverable  amount  of  the  Thailand  CGU  is  greater  than  the  carrying  value  as  at  31  December  2019  by 
$32,669,000. Variations to the key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount would result in a change 
in the assessed recoverable amount. If the variation in assumptions has a negative impact on recoverable amount it 
could indicate a requirement for an impairment expense. 

The recoverable amount of the Thailand CGU was tested for sensitivity using reasonably possible changes in key 
assumptions. If in isolation the revenue growth rate decreased by 8% per annum over the 5 year forecast period then 
the recoverable amount would be equal to the carrying amount of the Thailand CGU at 31 December 2019. No other 
reasonable possible changes in assumptions that would result in an impairment were identified by management. 

PT CCI (Carmudi) CGU 

The Group used the CGU’s value-in-use valuation to determine the recoverable amount, which exceeded the carrying 
amount. The projected cash flows were updated to reflect the 5 year plan assumptions and a pre-tax discount rate 
of 16.8% was applied. A long term growth rate of 5% was used to extrapolate Year 5 cash flows. Management have 
prepared scenarios to consider the effect of changes in growth rates, discount rate and terminal multiples. 

The recoverable amount of the PTCCI CGU is greater than the carrying value as at 31 December 2019. Variations 
to  the  key  assumptions  used  to  determine  the  recoverable  amount  would  result  in  a  change  in  the  assessed 
recoverable amount. If the variation in assumptions has a negative impact on recoverable amount it could indicate a 
requirement for an impairment expense. 

No reasonable possible changes in assumptions that would result in an impairment were identified by management.

17.  Non-current liabilities – Provisions (continued) 

The sensitivity analysis has been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on the defined 
benefit obligation as a relist of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period. 
The sensitivity analysis are based on a change in significant assumptions, keeping all other assumptions constant. 
The sensitivity analysis may not be a representation of an actual change in the defined benefit obligations as it is 
unlikely that changes in assumptions would occur in isolation from one another. No payments are expected to be 
made for the next annual reporting period.  

The Group recognises remeasurement gains and losses arising on defined benefit pension plans in OCI in 
accordance with AASB 119 Employee Benefits. As they will never be reclassified into profit or loss, they are 
immediately recorded in retained earnings, amounting to $82,625. 

18.  Business combinations 

Acquisition of Carmudi Indonesia 

On 11 November 2019, the Group acquired 100% of the ordinary shares of Carmudi, a non-listed company based in 
Indonesia and a well-established advertising and lead generation business servicing leading car manufacturers in 
Indonesia. With this combined audience and iCar Asia’s existing New Car businesses, this is expected to create an 
even more powerful advertising platform for the Indonesian Automotive Industry. The acquisition has been accounted 
for using the acquisition method which is provisional. 

The  net  identifiable  assets  acquired  are  still  provisional  in  light  of  the  timing  of  the  transaction.  The  acquisition 
accounting will be finalised within 12 months of the acquisition date, in line with accounting standards.

18.  Business combinations (continued) 

The fair value of the trade receivables amounts to $478,210. The gross amount of trade receivables is $478,210 and 
it is expected that the full contractual amounts can be collected. The acquisition related costs amount to $87,693 and 
are included in administration and related expenses in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

The Group measured the acquired lease liabilities using the present value of the remaining lease payments at the 
date of acquisition. The right-of-use assets were measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities and adjusted 
to reflect the favourable terms of the lease relative to market terms. 

The goodwill acquired is attributable to Carmudi’s strong position in its market and the high growth potential of that 
market. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. 

The goodwill of $4,268,834 arising from the acquisition consists largely  of the  synergies  and economies of scale 
expected from combining the business operations. None of the goodwill recognised is expected to be deductible for 
income tax purpose.  

From the date of acquisition, Carmudi contributed $217,966 of revenue and incurred $62,577 loss before tax from 
continuing operations of the Group. If the combination had taken place at the beginning of the year,  revenue from 
continuing operations would have been $16,733,861 and loss before tax from continuing operations for the Group 
would have been $13,092,386.

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. 

Capital risk management 

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the group will be able to continue as a going concern while 
maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of debt and equity balance. 

The Group's capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 31 December 2018 Annual Report. The 
capital structure of the Group includes equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, 
reserves and  retained earnings. The group operates in various countries, primarily through subsidiary companies 
established in the markets in which the group operates. 

The Group has sufficient cash to fund operating cash flows to maintain its current level of operations as well as to 
make the routine outflows of tax and the payment of any earn outs under contract. The Group is not subject to any 
externally imposed capital requirements.

22.  Equity – dividends 

There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year. 

No franking credits are available for use in the subsequent financial year as no income tax has been paid in Australia 
in the current or previous financial years. 

23.  Financing facility 

The  Group  entered  into  a  $5.0  million  loan  facility  ('Facility')  with  Catcha  Group  Pte  Ltd  in  November  2017.  The 
Facility is secured by a first ranking security over all the assets of the Group in favour of Catcha Group Pte Ltd under 
a General Security Agreement. Key terms of the Facility include: 

•  An interest rate of 12% per annum. 
•  A maturity date of 3 years. 
•  A commitment fee of 3% on the $5.0 million loan amount, payable upon commencement, and a commitment fee 
of 2% per annum on the undrawn balance of the loan which starts accruing once the Company draws on the 
loan.  

•  Draw down subject to shareholder approval (obtained at the Company’s 2018 annual general meeting) of the 
issue of unlisted options over shares to be granted to Catcha Group Pte Ltd (at exercise price of $0.20 per option). 

•  Draw down subject to the Group meeting certain cash flow and EBITDA thresholds. 
•  Customary  financial  and  operational  undertakings  by  the  Company,  including  relating  to  reporting  and 

maintenance of assets. 

The General Security Agreement provides that in the event the security is exercised, neither Catcha Group Pte Ltd 
or any of its associates are entitled to acquire the assets of the Group without the Group first complying with any 
applicable ASX Listing Rules, including ASX Listing Rule 10.1. 

Shareholder approval was granted at the Company’s 2018 Annual General Meeting on 25 May 2018. At 31 December 
2019, the Facility remains undrawn.  

During  the  current  financial  year,  the  Group  has  recognised  interest  charges  of  $61,666  for  the  commitment  fee 
related to the Finance facility and options amortisation of $217,600. The accrued commitment fee remains unpaid at 
31 December 2019. 

24.  Financial instruments 

Financial risk management objectives 

The group'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 group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative 
financial instruments, for speculative purposes. 

Market risk 

Foreign currency risk 
The group is mainly exposed to Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) and Thai Baht (THB) as a result 
of the operation of its subsidiaries in those markets. Foreign currency risk arises when future commercial transactions 
and recognised financial assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. 
As there is no material exposure to foreign currency risk within the financial assets and financial liabilities outside of 
each operating entity's functional currency, no sensitivity analysis has been prepared. 

Interest rate risk 
The group's exposure to interest rate risk is limited to the movement in interest rates in terms of its cash held at bank.

Credit risk 
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to 
the group. The group has adopted a policy of generally dealing with reputable counterparties as a means of mitigating 
the risk of financial loss from defaults. 

Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers and ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the accounts 
regularly. The group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of 
counterparties. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowance for 
expected credit  losses, represents the group's maximum exposure to credit risk. Generally, trade receivables are 
written-off if past due for more than one year and are not subject to enforcement activity.  

Liquidity risk 
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, who have built an appropriate 
liquidity risk management framework for the management of the group's short, medium and long- term funding and 
liquidity  management  requirements.  The  group  manages  liquidity  by  maintaining  adequate  reserves  and  by 
continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets with 
financial liabilities. 

Remaining contractual maturities 
The following tables detail the group's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument 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. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as 
remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of 
financial position.

Fair value of financial instruments 
Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value. The carrying amounts 
of trade receivables and trade payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. 
The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual maturities at the current 
market interest rate that is available for similar financial instruments.

34.  Share-based payments 

Executive variable remuneration 

Long term incentive plan (LTI) 

The Group has established a long term incentive plan (referred to hereafter as the ‘Plan’). The Plan is part of the 
Group’s remuneration strategy and is designed to align the interests of management and shareholders and assist 
the  Group  in  the  attraction,  motivation  and  retention  of  executives.  In  particular,  the  Plan  is  designed  to  provide 
relevant executives with an incentive for future performance and encouraging those executives to remain with the 
Group. LTI payments are made to participating key employees depending on the extent to which specific targets set 
at the beginning of the plan are met. The targets relate to the earnings of the company, achievement of other KPIs 
aligned to the individual’s specific business function and staff remaining in employment. During the year all new key 
employees participated in the LTI only.  

The exercise price of the share options is equal to the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant. The 
Group does not have a past practice of cash settlement for these awards. The details of LTI terms and targets can 
be found under Section C Service agreements in Remuneration Report. 

Options plan 

With the same objective of the LTI Plan, certain recent key employees have been awarded iCar Asia Limited share 
options. The details can be found in Section C Service agreements in the Remuneration Report. 

During  the  year,  options  granted  to  certain  key  management  personnel  have  been  replaced  by  a  new  share 
appreciation scheme as detailed later in this report.

Executive variable remuneration (continued) 

Long Term Value Creation (LTVC) 

The Group issued certain key management personnel with share appreciation rights as replacement awards under 
the  existing  executive  variable  remuneration  plan  for  additional  incentives  and  options.  The  existing  Long  Term 
Incentive  plan  is  not  affected  by  this  new  scheme  and  will  run  as  per  respective  service  agreements  of  key 
management  personnel.  The  purpose  of  the  LTVC  scheme  is  to  reward  the  value  creation  developed  by  the 
executives in driving growth in the business. The LTVC scheme is based on exceeding a specified share price hurdle 
of $0.30 in any of the three observation periods (2018, 2019 and 2020). The entitlement will be paid in shares in iCar 
Asia Limited and the number of entitlements will be based on the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Group’s 
share price exceeding the baseline share price of $0.18 in the December of the relevant observation period. Each 
executive will receive a share of the value created, which is calculated as the excess of the share price hurdle to the 
baseline share price multiplied by the number of shares on issue at the end of the relevant observation period. 

The entitlements also contain vesting conditions based on a required service period for each observation period end 
and vest 60% in the January following the observation period and 40% in the January twelve months thereafter. 

Details of the entitlement for each key management personnel entitled to the LTVC scheme is outlined in Section C 
of the Remuneration Report.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of iCar Asia Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of iCar Asia Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively
the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019,
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and
consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the financial statements, including
a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.

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

(a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2019

and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

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

Basis for Opinion

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

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

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our
audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit
of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate
opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter
is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Financial Report section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit
included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures
performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying
financial report.

Impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets

Why significant

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

The carrying value of goodwill of $25.5 million
and other intangible assets of $9.5 million as
disclosed in Note 13 represent 72% of the total
assets of the Group.

As required by Australian Accounting Standards,
the Group assesses at the end of each reporting
period whether there is any indication that non-
current assets may be impaired. In addition,
goodwill and indefinite life intangibles are tested
for impairment at least annually.

The impairment of non-current assets, including
goodwill and other intangibles was a key audit
matter due to the significance of these balances
and the complex judgements in the impairment
assessment process such as forecasting revenue
growth and operating costs that will be impacted
by future performance and market conditions.

The Group’s disclosures in relation to impairment
testing of goodwill and other intangibles are
included in Note 13 of the financial report.

Our audit procedures included assessing the
appropriateness of the cash generating units
(“CGUs”) where impairment testing was performed,
taking into consideration the levels at which
management monitors business performance and the
interdependency of cash flows.

In respect of the Group’s CGUs, where indicators of
impairment were present or in CGUs that contained
significant goodwill balances as at
31 December 2019, we performed the following
procedures:

► Assessed the appropriateness of the valuation

methodologies applied.

► Tested the mathematical accuracy of the

discounted cash flow model.

► Assessed key assumptions such as forecast
revenue growth and operating costs in
comparison to external independent data, where
relevant.

► Assessed the Group’s results in comparison to

historical forecasts to assess forecast accuracy.

► Compared future cash flows to board approved

budgets.

► Compared revenue multiples derived from the
Group’s value in use model to those observable
from external market data of comparable listed
entities, where available.

We performed sensitivity analysis in respect of the
assumptions noted above, which were considered to
have the most significant impact on carrying values,
to ascertain the extent of changes in those
assumptions which either individually or collectively
would be required for there to be an impairment. We
assessed the likelihood of these changes in
assumptions arising.

We also considered the adequacy of the financial
report disclosures regarding the impairment testing
approach, key assumptions and sensitivity analysis as
disclosed in Note 13 of the financial report.

Our valuation specialists were involved in the
performance of these procedures where appropriate.

Revenue recognition

Why significant

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

As disclosed in Note 4 of the financial report, the
Group earns revenue from on-line classifieds
subscriptions, media advertising, on-line depth
products, commissions and exhibition fees.

We assessed the effectiveness of relevant controls
over the capture, recording and recognition of
revenue transactions for revenue from on-line
classifieds subscriptions and on-line depth products.

The recognition of revenue from on-line classifieds
subscriptions and on-line depth products in
accordance with AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts
with Customers (“AASB 15”) is complex given the
management judgement involved in determining
the timing of when the Group’s performance
obligations are satisfied for these revenue
streams.

The recognition of revenue was considered a key
audit matter due to the complexity of the
management judgements referred to above and
the significance of revenue to the financial report,
being a key metric upon which the Group’s
performance is measured.

We tested the Group’s controls over IT systems
relevant to revenue transaction processing and
revenue recognition for on-line classifieds
subscriptions and on-line depth products.

We examined a sample of customer contracts for
each significant revenue stream to assess whether
revenue recognised was in accordance with AASB 15
and the terms and conditions in the underlying
contract.

We assessed the Group’s revenue accounting
policies, estimates and judgements made for
compliance with the revenue recognition
requirements of AASB 15.

We evaluated the adequacy of disclosures included in
Note 4 of the financial report.

Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report other than the financial report and our auditor’s report
thereon. We obtained the Directors’ Report that is to be included in the Annual Report, prior to the date
of this auditor’s report, and we expect to obtain the remaining sections of the Annual Report after the
date of this auditor’s report.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and
our related assurance opinion.

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.

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited
Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation

95

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this
auditor’s report, 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 Group’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

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

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

·

·

·

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

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

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

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited
Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation

96

·

·

·

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

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

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that 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 to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year 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 Audit of the Remuneration Report

Opinion on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 12 to 29 of the directors' report for the year
ended 31 December 2019.

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of iCar Asia Limited for the year ended 31 December 2019,
complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
