CEO and Chair Commentary
FY22 - Year in Review

Alex Knowles
Chair and Non-Executive Director

Glenn Milnes
CEO & Managing Director

FY22 was a strong growth period for IKE in relation to our financial 
performance, market development, and product development. 
Entering FY23, our signed contract backlog is strong (at >$20m at 
the time of writing), and our balance sheet is healthy. Our market 
in the North American electric utility and communications sector 
is stronger than ever in terms of expected ongoing demand for 
productivity solutions like ours. Our focus on building a recurring 
(subscription) and re-ocurring (transactional) business model along 
with continued development of product capability, translates to high 
visibility into higher-quality revenue

Despite current valuation headwinds in the public capital markets for 
technology companies, we are optimistic about our growth and value 
creation prospects for FY23 and beyond.

Financial 
Performance Highlights

We were pleased to hit all key growth targets through the 
period. Highlights include: 

 + FY22 revenue of ~$16m (+71% vs. PCP). 

 + 2H FY22 revenue of ~$10.3m (+108% vs. PCP)

 + FY22 Subscription and Transaction revenue of ~$12.m (+73% vs. PCP). ~75% of 
IKE’s revenue in FY22 came from these recurring and re-occurring sources. 

 + FY22 signed contracts of ~$26m (+122% vs. PCP). 

 + FY22 gross margin of ~$9.9m (PCP of $5.9m), with FY22 gross margin 

percentage of 62% (PCP of 64%).

 + FY22 EBITDA loss of ~$5.3m (PCP -$5.5m)

 + FY22 Net Loss of ~$7.9m (PCP -$7.5m)

 + 2H FY22 Net Loss of ~$1.7m (PCP -$5.0m) 

 + Total cash and receivables 31 March 2022 of ~$29.4m, comprised of 
$24.4m cash and $5m receivables. This is approximately the same 
total position as of December 2021. No debt.

Quarterly signed contracts 
and relationship to timing for 
recognized revenue ($NZ$)

Takeaways

 + This chart shows the approximate nine-

month correlation between the timing of 
signed contracts and subsequent timing 
to recognized revenue levels. The reason 
for this timing lag is that subscription and 
transaction contracts are recognized and 
delivered over time (normally 12 months), 
based on the usage of IKE products.

2022 ikeGPS Annual ReportOperating Scale
From an operating perspective, the broader IKE team grew from 
approximately 50 to 85 full time employees. IKE expects that its revenue 
and margins will continue grow faster than operating expenses, however 
this growth of outside plant experts across the team is important such 
that IKE can optimally deliver account management, support, and 
deployment into a customer base that includes some of the largest 
infrastructure companies in North America.

Leadership Team Development
From a leadership team perspective, the FY22 period saw a deepening of 
the leadership group with appointments including Lydia Siloka as Head of 
People, Jareth Rossing as Head of Engineering and CIO, Jonathan Brigham 
as Director of Operations, and Stephen Fairbrother promoted to Chief 
Financial Officer.

Board Development
From a Board perspective, the FY22 period saw the appointment of Eileen 
Healy as non-executive director. Eileen is based in San Francisco and joins 
IKE with considerable industry experience as the founder of two high-
growth technology companies that served tier-1 infrastructure companies 
across the US electric utility and communications market. The period also 
saw Rick Christie, chairman of IKE since its NZX listing, stand down from 
the role and replaced by LA-based Alex Knowles. Rick continues as a non-
executive director however IKE’s leadership team and the Board would 
like to again thank Rick for his considerable work and contribution to the 
company as Chair since its earliest days. 

Communications & 
Utility segment

Takeaways

 +

 +

IKE has delivered 48% CAGR of recurring 
subscription and reoccurring transaction 
revenues (shown by the Green and Blue 
segments in this chart).

IKE’s revenue mix has continued to shift 
positively over the past four years because 
of the investment into extending its 
software products.

 + This is an important trend in terms of 

increased revenue quality that will underpin 
predictable growth as IKE continues to 
execute on its solution and Pole OS™ 
strategy.

Customer and market commentary 

 + IKE targets North America’s ~3,000 electric utilities, ~200 communications 

companies, and their more than 2,000 engineering service providers. Once a 
customer, our objective is to embed and expand the use of its software inside 
of these large enterprise and infrastructure accounts.

 + We have approximately ~350 accounts today, or ~5% of the total number of potential 

customers in North America, pointing to the large, long-term growth opportunity and TAM. 

 + Importantly, our products are relevant to several unglamorous but large 

macro-market tailwinds, including: 

 + More than US$350B is forecasted to be invested into fiber and 5G infrastructure over the 

next five-plus years by fiber and communications companies. 

 + An additional US$60B of investment into rural broadband network development as part of 

the Biden administration’s $1 trillion infrastructure bill.

 + More than 3,000 electric utilities are needing to address the challenges of network 
hardening, development, and maintenance over the coming ten-plus years. Further 
pressures on electric utilities include the regulatory requirement to allow communications 
companies to attach their fiber and 5G networks onto their power assets and an aging 
workforce that is driving a need to introduce technology to replace people. 

 + Our products are designed to deliver network engineering outcomes that are 

faster, safer, and to a higher quality (digitized) data standard. 

 + Macro risks do continue to be present, in particular the long-tail impacts of 
COVID-19 on global supply chains. For IKE, this continues to present ongoing 
challenges to reliably source and produce its IKE field tools in the face of 
increasing demand.

2022 ikeGPS Annual Report2022 ikeGPS Annual ReportConclusion
Pleasingly, the momentum outlined above has continued into Q1 of FY23.

As referenced, our balance sheet is strong. In Q4 of FY22, we operated on a neutral 
basis maintaining a cash & receivables position of ~$29m, demonstrating the operating 
leverage in the business as revenue scales without the requirement for significant 
increases in our cost base.

Our infrastructure-oriented customer base remains sticky. We believe the next 10 to 
20 years will see increasing levels of investment into distribution network development 
across North America, which is the engineering work where IKE delivers productivity 
outcomes. We seek to build a decades-long relationships with these defensive 
customers. We are still very early in terms of market penetration and are excited about 
the potential to create value for our customers and shareholders in the years ahead. 
Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Alex Knowles
Chair and Non-Executive Director

Glenn Milnes
CEO & Managing Director

Outlook
The level of signed contracts in the year to March 2022 of ~$26m provides the foundation 
for strong potential revenue growth in FY23. Our sales pipeline has also continued 
to develop robustly. This pipeline consists of opportunities to expand within existing 
customer accounts, noting the majority of IKE’s FY22 revenue performance came from 
growing existing customers and from opportunities to win new enterprise accounts.

Our focus for FY23 continues on four core themes:

 + The delivery of signed contracts in the backlog. IKE expects ~$15-17m of the signed contract 

backlog in place today to be recognized in the FY23 period, noting that these signed contracts 
are based on our customers delivering network projects and that the timing of the associated 
revenue depends on this customer execution.

 +

In addition to the delivery of the backlog above, to close and recognize revenue in FY23 from 
new contracts. 

 + To continue to build out sales and delivery capability. IKE serves some of the largest 

infrastructure and engineering groups in North America, and it is important to have the 
right scale of people and processes to optimize customer experience, that in turn underpins 
account growth and long-term customer relationships. 

 + To continue to enhance its three software products via software engineering and user 

experience enhancements. This product development will focus on automation and analytics 
capability so as to deliver more productivity & value to customers and to increase ARPU.

was US$400,000, and he received a bonus(STI) in 
calendar 2021 of US$125,000.

Glenn had 1,239,000 employee stock options as of 31 
March 2022 of which 539,000 [with an exercise price 
of $1.06] was granted on 8 July 2021.

The remaining employee stock options have vesting 
dates from 2020 to 2026. Vesting at each date is 
dependent on him remaining an employee at the 
applicable vesting date.

Remuneration of employees

The Group aims to have a remuneration framework 
and policies to attract and retain talented and 
motivated people.

Ethical Behaviour

Code of conduct

The Group has a Code of Ethics, setting out the 
ethical and behavioural standards expected of 
Directors and staff. Directors and staff are also 
expected to uphold the Group's values.

Whistleblowing

The Group Code of Ethics includes specific direction 
on action to be taken by a person who suspects a 
breach of the Code.

Avoiding conflicts of interest

The Board is updated at each meeting on changes 
in Directors’ interests and any potential conflicts. 
The register records relevant transactions and 
our disclosures of interests. A current listing of 
Directors’ interests is found on page 36.

Trading in securities

The Groups Directors are restricted from trading in 
the Group's shares under New Zealand law and by the 
Group's Security Trading Policy. This policy applies 
to both Directors and employees. The policy details 
“blackout periods” where trading is forbidden, as well 
as a process for authorization at other times.

Our Director's current shareholdings are set 
out on page 37.

Committees
The Board committees review and consider in 
detail the policies and strategies developed by 
management. They examine proposals and make 
recommendations to the Board. They don’t take 
action or make decisions on behalf of the Board 
unless specifically mandated to do so. 

During the FY22 year, the Group’s standing Board 
committees were the:

 + Audit & risk management committee

 + Nominations and Remuneration committee

31

2022 ikeGPS Annual Report2022 ikeGPS Annual ReportAudit & Risk Management (ARC) committee:

Fred Lax (chair), Mark Ratcliffe, Glenn Milnes

The committee members are independent Directors 
with the exception of Glenn Milnes (executive 
director). Due to the diversity of the business 
operations, it is deemed appropriate that Glenn 
Milnes is a member of the ARC. In accordance 
with the NZX Code, the Audit & Risk Management 
Committee is chaired by an Independent Director, 
Fred Lax, who is not the Chair of the Board. Fred has 
extensive governance experience and has been ARC 
Chair with other public companies.

The committee’s Charter is set out on the investor 
relations website. The committee met seven times 
in the year to 31 March 2022. Management attends 
meetings only at the committee's invitation, and 
at least annually, the committee meets with the 
external auditors with management excluded.

Reporting and disclosure

Financial reporting

The Board is responsible for ensuring the integrity 
of the Group’s reporting to shareholders, including 
for financial statements that comply with generally 
accepted accounting practices. The Board’s ARC 
oversees the quality, reliability, and accuracy of the 
financial statements and related documents (the 
ARC role is described fully in its Charter). In doing so, 
the committee makes inquiries of management and 
external auditors (including requiring management 
representations) so that the committee can be 
satisfied as to the validity and accuracy of all aspects 
of the Group’s financial reporting.

The CEO and CFO certify to the Board that the 
integrity of the financial statements is founded on 
a sound system of risk management and internal 
compliance and control.

Nominations and Remuneration committee:

Non-financial reporting

Eileen Healy (chair), Mark Ratcliffe, Fred Lax

The committee members are independent Directors. 
The committee met on four occasions in the year 
to 31 March 2022. This committee has oversight of 
matters of recruitment, retention, and remuneration. 

Other committee matters

The Board will occasionally appoint a committee of 
Directors to consider or approve a specific proposal 
or action if the timing of meetings or availability of 
Directors means the matter cannot be considered by 
the full Board. Their deliberations and decisions are 
reported back to the Board not later than the next 
meeting following.

Takeover protocol

The Board has decided not to establish a takeover 
committee or protocols documenting the procedure 
to be followed in the event it receives a takeover 
offer. The Board has determined that due to 
the current size and make-up of the Board, it is 
sufficiently independent and can manage a takeover 
process and any additional issues effectively as a 
whole Board, should it arise.

The Group has not adopted a formal environmental, 
social, and governance (ESG) reporting framework 
at this time. The Group’s assessment of exposure 
to non-financial risks, including economic, 
environmental, and social sustainability risks, 
is incorporated into the Comprehensive and Key 
Risk assessments that we refer to under risk 
management. The Group is predominantly an office-
based software company with minimal impact on 
non-financial risks.

Disclosure to the market

The Group has a written disclosure policy – the 
Continuous Disclosure Policy, found on the investor 
relations site. It sets out requirements for full and 
timely disclosure to the market of material issues so 
all stakeholders have equal access to information. 
The Board reviews and approves material 
announcements. The Board specifically consider 
with management at each Board meeting whether 
there are any issues which might require disclosure 
to the market under the NZX and ASX continuous 
disclosure requirements.

Information for investors

Non-audit work

The Audit Independence Policy sets out restrictions 
on non-audit work that the auditor can perform. 

Shareholder rights and relations
The Group’s financial reports and corporate 
governance documentation is available on the 
group’s website https://ikegps.com/investors/.

The Group keeps shareholders informed through 
periodic reporting to NZX and ASX and through its 
continuous disclosure. The Group provides briefings 
and presentations to media and analysts (which are 
made immediately available on the investor relations 
website) and communicates with shareholders 
through periodic reports, annual shareholder 
meetings, as well as through a range of releases 
to media on matters which the company believes 
will interest shareholders and members. The Group 
encourages shareholders to refer to the investor 
relations website and to receive annual and half-
year reports electronically. Still, hard copies of 
the reports can readily be obtained from the share 
registrar, Link Market Services Limited. The Group 
takes care to write all shareholder communications 
in a clear and straightforward way and to limit the 
use of jargon.

The Group’s annual meeting will be held virtually 
on Thursday, 29 September 2022. A notice of 
the meeting and proxy form will be circulated 
to shareholders closer to the time. The external 
auditors, Grant Thornton, will respond to any 
questions submitted prior to the meeting. 

Risk management
The Group has an enterprise risk management 
framework in place to identify, quantify and monitor 
risks. That framework categorizes the enterprise 
risks and sets out specific actions to effectively 
manage each risk. Management reviews the 
enterprise risk register. The Group doesn’t have an 
internal audit function.

Health and Safety Risk

The Group values our people's health, safety, and 
wellness, and we believe that everyone should be 
able to work in an environment where risks are 
managed and controlled. Management has adopted 
health, safety, and wellness measures to address and 
mitigate identified risks.

The Group is a relatively low-risk office-based 
business. However, we do have employees 
performing training and, in some instances, fieldwork 
for customers. The Board is conscious of these risks 
to employees and have viewed the actions currently 
in place to mitigate these. The frequency of incidents 
has been very low, so the Board has not required 
LTIFR reporting to date.

Auditors
The Group has an external Auditor Policy that 
requires the external auditor to be independent and 
to be seen as independent. The Board is satisfied that 
there is no relationship between the auditor and the 
Group or any related person at this time that could 
compromise the auditor’s independence. The Board 
also obtained confirmation of independence formally 
from the auditor. To ensure full and frank dialogue 
amongst the ARC and the auditors, the auditor’s 
senior representatives meet separately with the ARC 
(without management present) at least once a year.

Independent auditor’s report 
To the shareholders of ikeGPS Group Limited 

Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements 

Opinion 

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of ikeGPS Group Limited (the Company), including 
its subsidiaries (the Group) on pages 45 to 74 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial 
position as at 31 March 2022, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the 
year  then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant 
accounting policies. 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial 
position of the Group as at 31 March 2022 and of its financial performance and cash flows for the year 
then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards 
(NZ IFRS) issued by the New Zealand Accounting Standards Board. 

Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs 
(NZ)) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. Our responsibilities under 
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated 
Financial Statements section of our report.  We are independent of the Group in accordance with 
Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including 
International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and 
Assurance Standards Board and the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including 
International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for 
Accountants (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with 
these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to 
provide a basis for our opinion. 

Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, the Group. 

Other matter 

The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2021 were audited by another auditor who 
expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 29 June 2021. 

Key audit matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the 
consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the 
consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on 
these matters. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Description of the key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Impairment assessment and the carrying value of 
assets 

As disclosed in Note 3, Significant accounting policies, the 
Group has undertaken an assessment of the carrying value 
of its assets including intangible assets on an annual basis 
in accordance with NZ IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. The 
continued losses from ike products and services and 
identified cash generating units (CGUs) are indicators of 
impairment. In addition, certain CGU’s hold intangible 
assets under development that are not yet ready for use, 
and accordingly these CGU’s are also assessed for 
impairment. 

The impairment assessments were a key audit matter due 
to the materiality of the assets, the risk of impairment, and 
the significant level of judgement applied in estimating future 
cash flows and other key assumptions in determining the 
recoverable amount of a CGU. 

To determine whether the carrying value of assets including 
intangibles is reasonable, management performed an 
impairment assessment on a value-in-use (VIU) basis for its 
four CGUs: 

• 

ike core platform, development assets, property, plant 
and equipment, leased assets and working capital 
(CGU1). 

•  Spike inventory, development assets and Software 

Development Kit (CGU2). 

•  Pole Forman software, customer contracts and 

relationships and training materials (CGU3); and 

•  Visual Globe software, customer relationships and 

goodwill (CGU4). 

These assessments were based on discounted cashflow 
models using the Board approved budget for the year 
ending 31 March 2023 and then extrapolating cash flows for 
subsequent years. The Board approved budgets have been 
adjusted to meet the requirements of NZ IAS 36 Impairment 
of Assets. 

Key assumptions for CGU1 include: 

We performed procedures to evaluate and challenge the 
Group’s determination of CGUs. This included reviewing 
internal management reporting to assess the level at which 
the Group monitors performance, comparing CGUs to our 
knowledge of the Group’s operations and reporting systems, 
and reconciling assets allocated to CGUs to accounting 
records. 

We obtained management’s impairment assessments and 
tested the mathematical accuracy of the VIU calculations. 

We considered and challenged key assumptions and used 
our internal valuation experts to assess the valuation 
methodology’s compliance with NZ IAS 36, and the 
appropriateness of the post-tax discount rates and terminal 
growth rates, based on their experience and external 
evidence. 

We compared the forecast cash flows used for the year 
ending 31 March 2023 to the Board approved business plan: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

For CGU1, we also compared historical performance 
against budget, investigated material differences and 
considered the impact on future cash flow forecasts. 

For CGU2, we made specific considerations of historic 
sales volumes over the previous three years and 
management plans for the Spike product line. 

For CGU3, we obtained management’s assessment of 
impairment and we assessed whether this assessment 
was consistent with our understanding of the operations 
and environment of the business and checked for the 
existence of any external sources of information. We 
also evaluated whether intangible assets that were not 
ready for use should be part of the CGU and 
impairment tested accordingly. 

For CGU4, we considered the financial performance of 
the CGU since acquisition to determine whether this 
was consistent with forecast performance assessed at 
acquisition date. We also reviewed the contingent 
consideration regarding CGU4 due to the vendor based 
on forecast revenue milestones that align to projections 
used in the VIU calculations for CGU4. 

•  Average forecast annual revenue growth of 31%. 

We concur with management’s assessment that: 

•  A growth rate of 2% to determine the terminal value; 

and 

•  A pre-tax discount rate of 16.4%. 

Key assumptions for CGU2 include: 

•  Forecasted annual growth of 5% year-on-year in sales 

volumes 

•  A remaining useful life of five years with no terminal 

value; and 

• 

• 

The recoverable amounts of CGU1, CGU3 and CGU 4 
are in excess of their carrying values; and 

The carrying value of CGU2 is impaired by $0.1 million 
based on management’s VIU calculations. 

We audited the disclosures in the consolidated financial 
statements to ensure they are compliant with the 
requirements of the relevant accounting standards. 

 
•  A pre-tax discount rate of 13.5%. 

Key assumptions for CGU3 include: 

•  Average forecast annual revenue growth of 10% 

•  A growth rate of 2% to determine the terminal value; 

and 

•  A pre-tax discount rate of 14.4%. 

Key assumptions for CGU4 include: 

•  FY23 growth of 433%;  

•  Average annual revenue growth of 75% over the 

following four years; 

•  A growth rate of 2% to determine the terminal value; 

and 

•  A pre-tax discount rate of 33.6%. 

Based on management’s assessments, an impairment of 
$0.1 million was recognised in respect to CGU2 and 
attributed to development assets. 

Refer to notes 3 and 12 in the consolidated financial 
statements for disclosures on the impairment assessment of 
the carrying value of assets. 

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report thereon 

The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual 
Report but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Annual Report is 
expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report. 

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of 
audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information 
identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent 
with the consolidated financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially 
misstated. 

Directors’ responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Statements 

The Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial 
statements in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the New 
Zealand Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the 
preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

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

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements 
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are 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 ISAs 
(NZ) 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 these consolidated financial statements. 

A further description of the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the External 
Reporting Board’s website at:

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for 
the year ended 31 March 2022 

1. Reporting Entity

ikeGPS Group Limited is a limited liability company domiciled and incorporated in New Zealand, registered under 
the  Companies  Act  1993  and  listed  on  the  New  Zealand  Stock  Exchange  (‘NZX’)  and  Australian  Securities 
Exchange (‘ASX’). It is an FMC reporting entity for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The 
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022 comprise ikeGPS Group Limited and its 
subsidiaries (together referred to as the ‘Group’), which comprises of ikeGPS Limited (‘ikeGPS Ltd’) and ikeGPS 
Incorporated (‘ikeGPS Inc’). 

The principal activity of the Group is that of design, sale, and delivery of a solution for the collection, analysis, 
and management of distribution assets for electric utilities and communications companies. 

The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 30 May 2022. 

2. Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022 have been prepared in accordance 
with the requirements of the Companies Act 1993 and Financial Reporting Act 2013. 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  Group  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  New  Zealand 
Generally  Accepted  Accounting  Practice  (‘NZ  GAAP’).    The  Group  is  a  for-profit  entity  for  the  purposes  of 
complying  with  NZ  GAAP.  The  consolidated  financial  statements  comply  with  New  Zealand  equivalents  to 
International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (‘NZ  IFRS’),  other  New  Zealand  accounting  standards  and 
authoritative notices that are applicable to entities that apply NZ IFRS. The consolidated financial statements 
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’). 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on  the  historical  cost  basis,  except  for  certain 
financial  assets  and  liabilities  that  have  been  measured  in  accordance  with  the  specific  relevant  accounting 
policy. 

All amounts are shown exclusive of Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) and other indirect taxes, except for trade 
receivables and trade payables that are stated inclusive of GST and Sales Taxes. 

Basis of consolidation 

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls 
an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and 
can affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on 
which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. 

New and amended standard and interpretations 

There are no new standards or interpretations material to the Group to be applied during the year. The Group 
does not anticipate adopting any standards prior to their effective date. There are no standards or amendments 
that have been issued but not yet effective that are expected to have a material impact on the Group. 

3. Significant accounting policies

Significant accounting policies, accounting estimates, and judgments that summarise the measurement basis 
used  and  are  relevant  to  the  understanding  of  the  financial  statements  are  provided  throughout  the 
accompanying notes. 

49Notes to the consolidated financial statements for 
the year ended 31 March 2022 

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

The material judgments and estimates used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements are outlined 
below. 

Going concern 

The considered view of the Board Directors is that the going concern assumption is valid. This view has been 
reached after making due enquiry and having regard to the circumstances that the Directors consider will occur 
and  those  that  are  reasonably  likely  to  affect  the  Group  during  the  period  of  one  year  from  the  date  these 
consolidated financial statements are approved. 

The Group recorded a net loss of NZ$7.9M for the year ended 31 March 2022 (2021: NZ$7.5M) and is expected 
to make further losses in the following financial year. 

Notwithstanding the above, the Group has prepared cash flow forecasts and sensitivity analyses that indicate 
cash-on-hand at year-end of $24M, combined with the net cash flows from operations, will enable the Group to 
continue  operating  as  a  going  concern  for  at  least  twelve  months  from  the  date  of  authorising  these 
consolidated financial statements. 

Impairment 

The  carrying  amounts  of  the  Group’s  assets  were  reviewed  to  determine  whether  there  is  any  indication  of 
impairment and if so tested, or tested regardless in the case of indefinite life intangible assets. The Directors 
identified the following cash generating units (CGUs): 

+ CGU1 – IKE Core platform: intangible assets, property plant and equipment, capital work in progress,

lease assets and working capital.

+ CGU2 – Spike: intangible assets and working capital.

+ CGU3 – IKE Structural: intangible assets and working capital.

+ CGU4 – IKE Insight: intangible assets and working capital.

The Directors concluded that operating losses associated with CGU1 are an indicator of impairment, requiring 
an estimate of the CGU1 recoverable amount. An indicator of impairment also existed in CGU2 due to the lower-
than-expected revenue, requiring an estimate of the CGU2 recoverable amount. 

CGU3  had  no  indicator  of  impairment,  however,  it  was  tested  for  impairment  as  the  carrying  value  includes 
intangible assets currently in development and not yet ready for use. CGU4 was acquired in FY21 and included 
goodwill, which is tested annually for impairment.  

The details of each impairment test are outlined below: 

CGU1 was determined to have a carrying value of $6.4M.  Future cash flows are forecasted based on a five-year 
business  model  for  CGU1,  which  included  an  average  revenue  growth  rate  of  31%  and  operating  expenses 
reflecting the FY23 business plan.  

The  Group  remains  optimistic  that  the  CGU1  core  infrastructure  market  will  continue  to  grow  due  to  the 
significant multiyear investment programmes IKE’s customers have in place. A pre-tax discount rate of 16.4% 
was used to establish the recoverable amount on a value in use basis. To determine terminal value, the Group 
applied a 2% growth rate. The Directors have determined that no impairment is required as CGU1 continues to 
have a useful life, and the carrying value of CGU1 does not exceed its value in use. 

50Notes to the consolidated financial statements for 
the year ended 31 March 2022 

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Sensitivity analysis was performed on key assumptions for CGU1. An impairment would need to be considered 
if the growth rate was 28% lower than forecasted. 

CGU2 was determined to have a carrying value of $0.4M. Future cash flows are forecasted based on a five-year 
business model for CGU2 and a pre-tax discount rate of 13.5% was used to establish the recoverable amount 
on a value in use basis. 

Spike sales volumes have been impacted by COVID-19. Due to the difficulty forecasting larger enterprise sales 
for the Spike product, Directors have forecasted similar volumes to FY22 in FY23 with an average growth rate 
of 5% with no terminal value.  

The Directors have determined that an impairment of CGU2’s intangible assets of $100,000 is required as the 
carrying amount exceeded the value in use calculation. The impairment has been recorded against the Spike 
applications  and  SDK  software  and  is  included  in  the  Research  and  Engineering  line  in  the  Consolidated 
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. 

CGU3 was determined to have a carrying value of $2.4M. CGU3 is a cashflow positive business segment and 
the  requirement  to  test  for  impairment  is  due  to  the  carrying  value  including  internally  developed  intangible 
assets not yet available for use. The future cashflows are based on a five-year business model with an average 
growth rate of 10%. A pre-tax discount rate of 14.4% was used to establish the recoverable amount on a value 
in use basis. To determine terminal value, the Group applied a 2% growth rate. The Directors have determined 
that no impairment is required, as the carrying value of CGU3 does not exceed the recoverable amount on a 
value in use basis. 

Sensitivity analysis was performed on key assumptions for CGU3. An impairment would need to be considered 
if the growth rate was 38% lower than forecasted. 

CGU4 was determined to have a carrying value of $8.6M including goodwill. CGU4 is a very early-stage business 
segment and technology. IKE acquired this asset in January 2021 and during FY22 it generated $285k revenue. 
Future cash flows are forecasted based on a five-year business model for CGU4, with the FY23 business plan 
forecasting approximately 433% revenue growth, and with continuing strong growth rates in FY24 through FY27 
at an average revenue growth rate of 75% and operating expenses reflecting the FY23 business plan. A pre-tax 
discount rate of 33.6% was used to establish the recoverable amount on a value in use basis. In determining the 
terminal value, the Group applied a 2% growth rate. The Directors have concluded that no impairment exists as 
CGU4 continues to have a useful life, and the carrying value does not exceed the value in use. 

Sensitivity  analysis  was  performed  on  key  assumptions  for  CGU4.  An  impairment  would  need  to  be 
considered if the growth rate was 10% lower than forecasted. 

The forecasted financial information for all CGUs is based on both historical experience and future expectations 
of operating performance and requires judgements to be made as to revenue growth, operating cost projections, 
and the market environment. It is sensitive to changes in each of the assumptions outlined above and actual 
results may be substantially different.  

Foreign currencies 

Items included in the consolidated financial statements of each of the Group’s subsidiaries are measured using 
the currency of the primary economic environment that the entity operates ("the functional currency").  

51Notes to the consolidated financial statements for 
the year ended 31 March 2022 

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

The functional currency of ikeGPS Ltd is New Zealand dollars. The functional currency of ikeGPS Inc is United 
States  dollars.  These  consolidated  financial  statements  are  presented  in  New  Zealand  dollars,  which  is  the 
Group's presentational currency. 

The financial performance and position of ikeGPS Inc are translated into the presentation currency as follows: 

+

+

assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at reporting date;

income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable
approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case
income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and

+

all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Foreign currency transactions and balances 

Foreign currency transactions are initially translated to functional currencies at the exchange rate prevailing at 
the transaction date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and 
from  the  revaluation  at  year-end  exchange  rates  of  monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign 
currencies are recognised in profit or loss.  

Foreign currency translation reserve 

Exchange  differences  arising  on  translation  of  the  foreign  controlled  entity  are  recognised  in  other 
comprehensive income as described in the foreign currency translation accounting policy and accumulated in 
a separate reserve within equity. If the net investment is to be disposed of, the cumulative amount would be 
reclassified to the consolidated statement of profit or loss.  

4. Operating segments

The  CEO  and  the  Board  of  Directors  are  assessed  to  be  the  Chief  Operating  Decision  Makers  (CODM)  who 
regularly review financial information by product and gross margin. Reporting of overheads and the financial 
position is not undertaken at a level lower than the Group as a whole. Geographically, revenue is substantially 
generated in the United States of America (‘USA’).  

During FY22, the Group’s selling activities were focused and organised into two customer segments namely 
‘Utility and Communications’ and ‘Other Business’. The Utility and Communications segment includes electrical 
utility companies, engineering service providers and sales to companies involved in the broadband fibre and 
cellular 5G roll out in the USA.  

Within the Utilities and Communications segment, the Group derives its revenue from: 

+

+

+

selling an IKE device and corresponding annual subscription revenue,

the  IKE  Platform  solution  where  customers  collect  pole  data  on  a  leased  IKE  device  and  is  either
analysed by IKE according to an agreed statement of work or our customers use the software platform
directly to process their pole data,

transactional  revenue  by  analysing  pole  data  through  an  artificial  intelligence  and  machine  learning
platform, and

+

pole loading software licenses and ongoing subscriptions for maintenance and support.

The Group derives its revenue from the sale of products and related services, subscription revenue, software 
licenses, providing access to hardware and the software platform, and technical pole data analysis. Revenue is 
recognised when performance obligations have been satisfied, which is when control of the good or service 
associated with the performance obligation has been transferred to the customer. 

Revenue is recognised using a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. 
Under NZ IFRS 15, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects 
to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.  

The  standard  requires  entities  to  exercise  judgement,  taking  into  consideration  all  the  relevant  facts  and 
circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers.  The five-step model 
for recognising revenue from contracts with customers requires consideration of the following steps: 

+

+

Identifying the contract

Identifying the individual performance obligations within the contract

+ Determining the transaction price

+ Allocating the transaction price to distinct performance obligations

+ Recognising revenue

5. Revenue (continued)

The table below provides the key judgements made on the application of NZ IFRS 15 across each revenue type 
with standardised terms and conditions. The Group has applied a practical expedient permitted by the standard; 
therefore, no significant financing component exists on deferred income. 

Utility and communications 

Revenue 
Type 

IKE device 
solution  

Description 

Key Judgements 

Outcome 

This is marketed to the utility 
and communications market 
as an all-in-one streamlined 
solution from data capture on 
the IKE device through to 
measurement and analysis on 
IKE Office - a cloud-based 
software platform. 

Management has 
determined the individual 
performance obligations of 
the contract. The total 
contractual price is 
allocated to each 
performance obligation 
using the stand-alone 
selling price. 

Management has determined that 
the IKE Device and subscription 
to IKE Office are distinct 
performance obligations of the 
IKE Solution. IKE has used the 
stand-alone selling price to 
allocate the contractual price. 

Subscription 

Customers are required to 
renew software subscriptions 
to allow continued access to 
the IKE Office online cloud 
functionality and the ability to 
customise and add new forms 
onto the IKE device. 

Determining when the 
performance obligation is 
fulfilled.  

Services 

Service revenue is made up of 
training, deployment, and 
replacement device revenue.

performance obligation is 
delivered.

revenue 

IKE Analyze  

IKE Structural 
pole loading 
software 
license 

Customers subscribe to the 
Platform to access both an 
IKE device and the 
functionality of IKE Office. 
This subscription enables 
customers to go out in the 
field and collect data via our 
online platform, where IKE or 
the customer can then 
perform analysis. 

Providing either an end-to-end 
technical solution for 
customers; IKE captures and 
analyses pole loading and 
make-ready engineering 
assessments, or customers 
capture pole data and transact 
on our platform. 

IKE sells a license of its pole 
loading software to 
customers. 

The subscription is in two 
parts; 1. The lease of the 
IKE device under NZ IFRS 
16, 2. The subscription to 
IKE Office. This requires 
management to allocate the 
contract price to each 
performance obligation and 
determine when each 
performance obligation is 
fulfilled.  

Determining when each 
performance obligation is 
fulfilled. 

Management has 
determined the individual 
performance obligations of 
the contract. The total 
contractual price is 
allocated to each 
performance obligation 
using the stand-alone 
selling price. 

Customers use IKE Office to 
store and analyse data, 
customise, and add new forms. 
Along with integration capability 
these performance obligations 
can be described as ‘stand ready’ 
services which can be recognised 
over time. 

Revenue is recognised when the 
service is performed for the 
customer. For example, when the 
training is performed. 

Management has determined the 
contract price allocated to the 
lease and subscription portions 
consistent with the IKE Solution 
above. 

The performance obligations for 
the subscription portion of the 
IKE Platform are consistent with 
the above subscription treatment. 

Either the customer uploads or 
analyses the data in IKE Office, or 
IKE performs the analysis and 
completes requested reports per 
the scoping document. Once the 
activity is complete the Group will 
recognise the revenue. 

Management has determined that 
the perpetual license and first 
year of maintenance and support 
are separate performance 
obligations. IKE has used the 
stand-alone selling price to 
allocate the contractual price.

Government grants in the prior year were payments received in relation to COVID-19 government relief and were 
recorded  over  the  period  in  which  the  costs  were  incurred.  In  the  current  year,  cash  was  received  as  a 
government grant under the research and development tax credit incentive scheme, relating to FY20 research 
and development costs. 

In the current year, no customer within a particular operating segment represented more than 10% of revenue 
(FY21: no customers).

attributable to the development of intangible assets and have been capitalised.

3. Relates to short-term and low-value leases and common area maintenance costs.

4. Selling and marketing expenses included promotional activities, travel, commissions, and other direct

marketing costs.

5. Other operating expenses include corporate advisory, travel, engineering, facilities, and IT costs.

Employee benefits 

Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-monetary  benefits  and  accumulating  sick  leave  that  are 
expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the 
related service, are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to reporting date. They are measured at the 
amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee 
benefit obligations in the consolidated statement of financial position.  

For  defined  contribution  plans,  the  group  pays  contributions  to  publicly  or  privately  administered  pension 
insurance plans on a mandatory, contractual, or voluntary basis. The Group has no further payment obligations 
once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as an employee benefit expense when 
they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in 
the future payments is available. 

Share-based payment 

The Group operates an employee option scheme (equity-settled) under which employees receive the option to 
acquire shares at a predetermined exercise price. The options are measured at fair value at grant date using the 
Black  Scholes  model,  with  the  fair  value  recognised  as  an  employee  benefit  expense  in  the  consolidated 
statement of profit or loss with a corresponding increase in equity. The total expense is recognised over the 
vesting period, being the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end 
of each period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the 
service  conditions.  It  recognises  the  impact  of  the  revision  to  original  estimates,  if  any,  in  the  share-based 
payment reserve with a corresponding change to the share-based compensation reserve in equity. 

In  addition,  the  Group  provides  share-based  payments  to  employees  related  to  business  combinations.  The 
employees are required to perform service conditions and an expense is recognised over the service period. The 
rewards are considered equity-settled and recognised as an employee benefit expense and an increase to either 
share capital or the share-based compensation reserve.  

Finance income and expenses 

Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Finance expenses comprise 
interest expense on lease liabilities, recognised using the effective interest method. 

57Notes to the consolidated financial statements for 
the year ended 31 March 2022 

7. Current and deferred tax

The current income tax charge is calculated based on the tax laws enacted, or substantively enacted, at the 
reporting  date  in  the  countries  where  the  Group  operates  and  generates  taxable  income.  Management 
periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation 
is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on amounts expected to be paid 
to the tax authorities. 

Deferred  income  tax  is  recognised  on  temporary  differences  arising  between  the  tax  bases  of  assets  and 
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined 
using  tax  rates  and  laws  that  have  been  enacted,  or  substantively  enacted,  by  the  reporting  date  and  are 
expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised, or the deferred income tax liability is 
settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit 
will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. 

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in 
other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive 
income or directly in equity, respectively.  

Prima  facie  income  tax  expense  on  pre-tax  accounting  loss  from  operations  reconciles  to  the  income  tax 
expense in the consolidated financial statements as follows: 

Net loss before income tax
Prima facie income tax credit at 28%

Non-deductible expenses 
Deferred tax on temporary differences

Deferred tax assets on deductible temporary differences have been recognised to the extent taxable temporary 
differences  exist  in  the  same  tax  jurisdiction.  No  deferred  tax  asset  is  recognised  in  excess  of  the  available 
taxable  temporary  differences,  due  to  the  uncertainty  of  when  the  unused  tax  losses  can  be  utilised. 
Unrecognised deferred tax assets related to deductible temporary differences total $473,190 (2021: $544,231).

9. Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables arise when the Group provides cash, goods, and services directly to a debtor with 
no intention of selling the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater 
than 12 months after reporting date that are classified as non-current assets.  

The  Group  assesses  impairment  on  a  forward-looking  basis,  the  expected  credit  loss  associated  with  its 
financial assets is carried at amortised cost. The Group will assess if there has been a significant increase in 
credit  risk  by  assessing  market  conditions,  forward  looking  estimates,  and  previous  financial  history  of 
counterparts. 

The Group applies the simplified approach permitted by NZ IFRS 9 for trade receivables, which requires expected 
lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.  

The expected credit losses on these financial assets are assessed using a provision matrix, adjusted for factors 
that are specific to the receivables including customers’ historical credit loss experience, individual customer 
characteristics, customer market segment, and the economic environment. 

The Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating default or delinquency in payments, 
the probability that they will enter bankruptcy, liquidation or other financial reorganisation, and there is no real 
prospect of recovery.

Inventory

Inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventory is based on a weighted 
average cost, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventory and bringing it to its existing location 
and condition. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour, and production overhead. Net realisable value is 
the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the 
estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Inventory is treated as non-current if it is not expected to be sold 
within twelve months of reporting date.

Inventory (continued)

During  the  year,  IKE  materials  have  been  written  down  by  $24,710  and  Spike  finished  goods  by  $100,829 
(2021: IKE materials $124,882 and Spike finished goods $161,105). 

11. Property, plant, and equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment 
losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Depreciation is 
calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:  

Office furniture and equipment 

Plant and equipment 

IKE rental devices 

20% - 33% 

20% - 50% 

30% 

Depreciation  methods,  useful  lives,  and  residual  values  are  reviewed  and  adjusted,  if  appropriate,  at  each 
reporting date. Gain and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount 
and are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. 

IKE rental devices increased in FY22, in line with the increase in ‘Platform as a Service’ revenue (see note 5).

Intangible assets

Capitalised development costs 

The Group capitalises employee and consultants’ costs directly related to development of an intangible asset. 
The  carrying  values  of  capitalised  development  costs  are  annually  evaluated  for  indicators  of  impairment. 
Management  has  reviewed  the  expected  remaining  useful  life  of  these  assets  and  concluded  that  they  are 
appropriately amortised over periods of 4 to 10 years.  

Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software 
controlled by the Group are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:  

+

it is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use,

+ management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it,

+

+

+

+

there is an ability to use or sell the software product,

it can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future economic benefits,

adequate technical, financial, and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the
software product are available, and

the expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably measured.

Other  development  expenditures  that  do  not  meet  these  criteria  are  recognised  as  an  expense  as  incurred. 
Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. 

All research costs are recognised as an expense when they are incurred. 

Other intangible assets 

Separately  purchased  intangible  assets  (i.e.  software)  were  recognised  at  cost,  plus  any  initial  directly 
attributable costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. 
Purchased software has a useful life ranging from 4 to 10 years.  

Software,  customer  contracts,  relationships,  trademarks,  and  training  material  acquired  through  business 
combinations were initially recognised at fair value. They are subsequently measured at initial recognition value 
less accumulated amortisation and impairment and have a useful life ranging from 4 to 10 years. 

Goodwill 

Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses and is annually tested for impairment, or more 
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired.  

Goodwill is allocated to CGU4 for the purpose of impairment testing (see note 3 Impairment), as this CGU is 
expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.  

Impairment of non-financial assets 

Intangible assets under development are not subject to amortisation and are annually tested for impairment 
within CGU1, CGU3 and CGU4, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might 
be impaired. The carrying amount of the Group’s other non- financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date 
to determine whether there is any indication of impairment or objective evidence of impairment. If any such 
indication exists, the assets recoverable amount is estimated.  

62Notes to the consolidated financial statements for 
the year ended 31 March 2022 

12.

Intangible assets (continued)

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the 
estimated  future  cash  flows  are  discounted  to  their  present  value  using  a  pre-tax  discount  rate  that  reflects 
current market assessments for the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which estimates 
of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be 
less than the carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount.  

An  impairment  loss  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  immediately.  Where  an  impairment  loss  subsequently 
reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, 
but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have 
been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is 
recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss immediately.

Leases

Lease assets are contracts that convey the right to use office space in both Colorado and Wellington. They were 
initially  recognised  at  the  present  value  of  the  lease  payments  unpaid  at  inception.  Subsequently,  they  are 
recorded  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  impairment,  adjusted  for  remeasurement  of  the  lease 
liability to reflect modifications. 

The corresponding lease liability to the lessor is included on the consolidated statement of financial position as 
a lease liability. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and a reduction in the lease liability. 
The finance charges and depreciation of the lease asset are charged to the consolidated statement of profit or 
loss.  Lease  liabilities  are  measured  at  the  present  value  of  the  remaining  lease  payments.  The  Group’s 
‘incremental borrowing rate’ used in the discounting for all lease liabilities was 5.50%. 

The leases typically ran for a period ranging from 1 to 3 years with an option to renew.  The renewal periods for 
the Wellington leases were not taken into account, as management is reasonably uncertain that these will be 
renewed. In March 2022, the lease for office space in Colorado was extended for an additional nine months to 
April 2023, resulting in a lease modification.  

The Group applied the exemption for low-value assets on the lease of the photocopier and the exemption for 
short-term leases on the office space rented in Alabama. Therefore, the lease payments were recognised as an 
expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Trade and other payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary 
course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within 
one year or less. Otherwise, they are presented as non-current liabilities. They are initially recognised at their fair 
value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

The Group has employment agreements that result in cash payments being made to certain staff at the end of 
a service period. The expense is accrued as services are delivered and payment is made at the end of the service 
period. The liability was initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost.

15. Other liabilities (continued)

Deferred consideration on business combination 

The Group acquired PoleForeman assets in the 2020 year and some of the consideration was deferred over a 
three-year period. Consideration consisted of cash payments and an unfixed number of shares. The liability was 
initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

Earn-out consideration on business combination (cash and shares) 

The  Group  acquired  Visual  Globe  assets  in  the  2021  year,  and  a  contingent  consideration  was  recognised 
relating  to  achieving  revenue  milestones.  The  consideration  consisted  of  both  cash  payments  and  share 
issuances.  The  contingent  consideration  liability  was  initially  and  subsequently  measured  at  fair  value,  with 
gains or losses recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. A fair value movement of $1,303,000 
has been recognised in the year from the movement of this instrument (2021: $178,000). 

The  fair  value  of  the  contingent  consideration  was  estimated  by  calculating  the  present  value  of  the  future 
expected  earn-out  payment,  using  a  27.5%  discount  rate.  The  timing  and  likelihood  of  payment  has  been 
determined based on the forecasted revenue in the earnout period to end March 2024, and the Group estimates 
that only the first revenue target will be met during FY24. The model assumes no further revenue targets will be 
met within the earnout period, and therefore no consideration has been allocated to these targets. 

The estimates of the probability and timing of the revenue targets being met are based on forecasted cashflows 
and subject to both timing and achievement uncertainty, due to the early-stage nature of the business. 

The inputs to determine the fair value were level 3, unobservable inputs. 

16. Financial instruments and financial risk management

Financial instruments 

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised on the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position when 
the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.  

They are trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, cash and cash equivalents, foreign exchange 
options,  employee  entitlements,  lease liabilities,  and  other  liabilities.  They  are  included  in  current  assets  and 
current liabilities, except for lease liabilities with payment terms greater than 12 months, which are included in 
non-current liabilities.  

The Group classifies its financial assets and liabilities as ‘measured at amortised cost’ or ‘fair value through 
profit or loss’ at initial recognition. 

The following table shows the Group’s financial assets and liabilities and their classification:

16. Financial instruments and financial risk management (continued)

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent solely payments 
of principal and interest, are measured at amortised cost.  They are recognised initially at their fair value and 
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

Interest  income  from  these  financial  assets  is  included  in  finance  income  using  the  effective  interest  rate 
method.  

Financial  liabilities  carried  at  amortised  cost  are  initially  recognised  at  their  fair  value  and  subsequently 
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expenses from these financial liabilities 
are included in finance expenses.  

The  fair  value  of  financial  instruments  carried  at  amortised  cost  is  not  materially  different  from  their  stated 
carrying values. 

Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of financial assets and liabilities is recognised directly in profit or loss 
and presented in other gains and losses. Impairment losses on financial assets are presented as separate line 
item in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.  

Financial  assets  and  liabilities  recognised  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  are  originally  and  subsequently 
remeasured to fair value, with gains and losses being recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk 
and  interest  rate  risks,  which  arise  in  the  normal  course  of  the  Group’s business.  The  Group  uses  different 
methods  to  measure  and  manage  different  types  of  risks  to  which  it  is  exposed.  Liquidity  risk  is  monitored 
through the development of future rolling cash flow forecasts.

16. Financial instruments and financial risk management (continued)

Credit risk 

The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of a counterparty, with a maximum exposure 
equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to 
credit risk principally consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, and the foreign exchange 
options. All cash and cash equivalents are held with high credit quality counterparties, being trading banks with 
at least an ‘AA-‘ credit rating in New Zealand, and a Moody’s ‘A3’ rating in the USA. The Group does not require 
collateral or security from its trade receivables, it performs credit checks, ageing analyses, and monitors specific 
credit  allowances.  The  Group  does  not  anticipate  any  material  non-performance  by  customers.  The  total 
impaired trade receivables as at reporting date is $127,540 (2021: $105,562). 

At reporting date, 94% (2021: 81%) of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents were with one bank.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group cannot pay contractual liabilities as they fall due. Management monitors 
rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs, 
taking  into  consideration  the  Group’s  forward  financing  plans.  Management  believes  that  the  Group  has 
sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they fall due for the next 12 months.  

The following table sets out the undiscounted cash flows for all financial liabilities of the Group:

Foreign currency risk management 

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on its revenue and a significant portion of its expenses that are 
denominated  in  USD,  which  is  different  to  the  Group’s  presentational  and  parent’s  functional  currency  NZD. 
Additionally, the institutional placement and share purchase plan completed during the year was predominantly 
in AUD, creating additional foreign currency risk exposure. Therefore, the Group has purchased AUD/USD foreign 
exchange options to mitigate the risk on its AUD cash holdings.  

If the NZD strengthened / weakened against the USD or AUD by 10% at 31 March 2022, the pre-tax loss would 
have been (higher) / lower as follows: 

Cash and cash equivalents
Trade and other receivables

Trade and other payables

16. Financial instruments and financial risk management (continued)

Interest rate risk management 

The Group’s interest rate risk arises from its cash balances. The Group currently has no significant exposure to 
interest rate risk other than in relation to the amount held at the bank. A reasonably expected movement in the 
prevailing interest rate would not materially affect the Group’s consolidated financial statements. 

17. Fair value estimation

The Group measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value either at initial recognition and/or continually. To 
determine these fair values, valuation techniques are utilised.  

To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group has identified 
what level of input is utilised in the valuation in the note for each asset or liability. An explanation of each level is 
below. 

Level 1: The fair value of assets/liabilities traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and equity 
securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period.  

Level 2: The fair value of assets/liabilities that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter 
derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and 
rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates.  

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the asset/liability is 
included in level 3.

19. Basic and diluted earnings per share

The Group presents earnings per share (‘EPS’) data for its ordinary shares. 

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the 
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. 

Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted 
average number of shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into 
ordinary shares.

The potential shares and options are anti-dilutive in nature due to the Group being in a loss position. The diluted 
loss per share is therefore the same as the undiluted EPS at ($0.05) and ($0.06) for the respective periods. 

20. Capital management

The  capital  structure  of  the  Group  consists  of  equity  raised  by  the  issuance  of  ordinary  shares.  The  Group 
manages its capital to ensure it can continue as a going concern and is not subject to any externally imposed 
capital requirements. 

During  the  current  financial  year,  the  Group  completed  an  institutional  placement  and  share  purchase  plan 
raising $23.1m. The Group’s aim is to have a sufficient capital base to maintain investor and creditor confidence 
and to sustain future development of the business. Capital requirements are regularly reviewed by the Board of 
Directors.  

There have been no material changes in the Group’s management of capital from the previous year. 

21. Share-based payments reserve

The share-based payments reserve is used to recognise both the fair value of options issued to employees but 
not exercised and contractual share payments to be made to employees based on the period of employment.

The contractual share-based payments are in relation to employees who have service conditions, which when 
completed grant the right to shares. These arrangements arose from prior business combinations.  

The Group has no legal or constructive obligation to settle the shares in cash and has no history of choosing to 
settle these payments in cash. As such, these awards are treated as equity settled share-based payments.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for

21. Share-based payments reserve (continued)

The Group determined the value of shares issued under contractual share-based payments based on the agreed 
share price at the time of grant. This price is fixed. 

A total of 209,322 shares at a value of $136,266 were issued  during the period  for services rendered (2021: 
226,415 shares at $135,849 value). 

Share options were granted to directors and selected employees to retain, reward, and motivate such individuals 
to contribute to the growth and profitability of the Group.  

Options outstanding at 31 March 2022 have a contractual life from grant date of between 4 and 6 years. Options 
can be exercised at any time after vesting and unexercised options expire at the end of the contract or if the 
employee leaves the Group. The Group has no legal or constructive obligation to repurchase or settle the options 
in cash. Any share to be issued on the exercise of the option will be issued on the same terms and will rank 
equally in all respects with the ordinary shares in the company on issue. 

Movements in the number of share options outstanding and their related average exercise prices are as follows:

The primary market for sales of the Group’s products or services is the USA and sales tax obligations can arise 
where IKE is deemed to have sales tax nexus.  

Previously, the Group identified that customer sales tax was payable in multiple States and a best estimate of 
the liability was provided for in the FY21 consolidated financial statements. The Group has almost completed 
the process of voluntary disclosure and remitting the sales tax owed to the respective States.
