While we acknowledge the instability experienced in 2017, we are pleased with the renewed focus that has emerged as we implement necessary change. As a Company, we are undertaking a significant restructure and changing our strategy to position IncentiaPay for growth. This commenced with a renewed management team and subsequent changes to the Board. Iain Dunstan was appointment as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in November 2017, succeeding Trevor Dietz. As a Board, we are happy with the calibre of the management team we have managed to put together. Further new appointments included Darius Coveney in the combined role of Chief Operating and Finance Officer (COO/CFO), and other senior leadership team members. The Board has also seen significant change and renewal with myself and Chris Berkefeld joining as new Independent Non-Executive Directors. Iain Dunstan joined the Board as Managing Director during the year. Murray d’Almeida, Trevor Dietz, Antonie (Tony) Wiese and Brian Hall all resigned during the past twelve months. On 14 September 2018, IncentiaPay announced the signing of a contract for the sale of the Bartercard business. This sale is in line with the Company’s stated intention to divest non-core assets and allocate capital to future growth areas. This reallocation of capital to core growth areas is allowing us to focus on new growth and market opportunities in Australia and New Zealand. These leverage off existing corporate and partnership marketing channels, as well as our growing relationship with Alipay as one of their preferred marketing partners, which enables us to enter and capture the booming inbound Chinese tourism market. We believe our partnership with Alipay will be a driver of additional revenue growth in FY2019 and beyond. 1 CHAIR’S INTRODUCTION During FY2018, we undertook a number of capital management activities, including a $10 million equity raising from institutional and sophisticated shareholders in November 2017; a dividend for FY2017 of 2.25 cents per share, which was paid in January 2018 at a total cost of $2.7 million; a $2 million equity raising from eligible shareholders participating in a Share Purchase Plan, which was significantly oversubscribed and for which IncentiaPay is grateful for the broad support from its loyal retail shareholder base; and $20.7 million of equity raised from an institutional and retail Entitlement Offer over February and March. At the April EGM shareholders approved an issue of loan funded shares to the CEO and COO/CFO, as well as an Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) to be used for future employee incentives. We have signed major agreements this financial year with Alipay and Smartpay, which will enable us to capture and capitalise on a strong foothold in the growing Chinese tourism market across both Australia and New Zealand. This is an important revenue generating step in IncentiaPay’s ongoing program of controlled investment in channel partnerships and new digital transaction-based consumer offers under these agreements. IncentiaPay receives both a transaction fee and a marketing fee for introducing the Chinese consumer to the merchant. The Board acknowledges the vote made against the Company’s Remuneration report last year, and has focussed additional efforts ensuring increased alignment between shareholders and executives as new senior managers have been brought in. This remains a key focus for the Board as we continue to restructure the Company. Finally, on behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our shareholders, our clients and our employees for their support and dedication. We are confident that with the strategic clarity outlined by our renewed management team and Board, we will continue to move forward and grow business value for our shareholders, our clients, our partners and our employees.

Underlying EBITDA was not Looking at geographical segments, Australian revenue accounted for $90.7 million, or 82 per cent, New Zealand revenue accounted for $16.1 million, or 15 per cent, and other revenue, including from international license fees, accounted for $3.3 million, reported on in FY2017 but will be reported during or 3 per cent. the restructuring period. Negative operating cash flow was $2.9 million (excluding discontinued operations, but after one-off restructuring costs). Net loss after tax (NLAT) from ordinary activities was $62.2 million, compared to a net profit after tax (NPAT) from ordinary activities of $10.3 million in FY2017, predominantly due to non-cash charges related to the Company’s current restructure program. The Company acknowledges our financial results have not been strong this year, due to impairments and restructuring expenses, however gross revenue has been stable. G R O S S R E V E N U E Overall gross revenue for FY2018 was $110.1 million. This included $24.5 million, or 22 per cent, from fee income (2017:$30.0 million), $0.2 million, or less than one per cent, from license fees (2017:$1.6 million), N E T LO S S A F T E R TA X A N D I M PA I R M E N T S Reported net loss after tax (NLAT) from ordinary activities was $62.2 million in FY2018 compared to a net profit after tax from ordinary activities of $10.3 million in FY2017. This net loss was predominantly attributed to impairments of $47.2 million, related to non-cash assets on the balance sheet. In addition, charges for depreciation and amortisation ($6.1 million), provision for restructure ($4.8 million), other one-off expenses ($2.0 million) and acquisition costs related to the purchase of Gruden ($0.8 million), were incurred during the financial year. A further $3.5 million in costs were incurred related to the operations of the Bartercard US and UK businesses, which were discontinued as at 30 June 2018. $44.7 million, or 41 per cent, from membership In finalising the FY2018 results, the directors subscriptions (2017:$49.4 million), $34.7 million, or assessed the future growth prospects and associated 31 per cent, from gift cards sales (2017:$21.9 million), investment costs related to the Company’s Bartercard and $2.7 million, or 3 per cent, from other sources business and took a further impairment charge (2017:$7.5 million). To improve market disclosure, the Company has added additional information regarding the cost of gift card sales within the Entertainment business. These represent significant revenue to the Group. However, due to the nature of these sales, where the discount provided by the retailer is passed on to Entertainment members, margins are marginal. D I V I S I O N A L R E V E N U E Revenue from the Entertainment business was $77.4 million, an 18 per cent increase from FY2017 revenue of $65.9 million. This increase was predominantly attributed to growth in the Corporate Marketing against the assets of that business. A contract for the sale of the Bartcercard business was signed on 14 September (subsequent to balance date). Furthermore, the Company has taken a conservative view of the future contract signing rate within the Gruden business, as well as the planned investment required to fully integrate the mobileDEN technology, and accordingly has booked a $2 million impairment against the business as at 30 June 2018. Other significant items incurred during FY2018 primarily relate to the ESOP approved at the April EGM, incurring a $0.7 million non-cash cost of issued ESOP’s.

This sale is in line with the Company’s stated intention to divest of non-core assets and to allocate capital to future growth areas.

These include a Marketing Cooperation Agreement signed with Alipay, incorporating the development of the China in a Box merchant portal and a Frequent Value style deal offered on Alipay’s Discovery platform; a Marketing Agreement signed with Smartpay, Australia and New Zealand’s largest independent full-service EFTPOS provider; and the acquisition of Gruden, an ASX-listed digital marketing and transactional payment company - servicing over 500,000 users across approximately 800 retail outlets, and handling in excess of 100,000 transactions per month. acquire Gruden – the transaction was completed in May 2018.

The Gruden Government business unit was successfully approved and selected for the panel for the department of a government division. 32 companies were chosen to provide digital services, of which Gruden was one of only seven companies that had not previously worked with that government department. Looking forward Over the next year, Gruden will focus on realising the benefits of technological enhancements. Gruden’s enterprise development and digital marketing capabilities, including its payments, loyalty and ordering platform, mobileDEN, will be integrated into IncentiaPay’s offering. It will provide enhanced transactional capabilities and ultimately is expected to create an ‘all-in-one’ benefits network. Bringing together the leading entertainment deals platform, Entertainment Publications, with mobileDEN’s payments, ordering and loyalty platform - will create a product that will deliver significant value to clients seeking a one-stop platform to manage and increase customer engagement and revenues. Gruden’s platforms and services will be made available to IncentiaPay’s extensive network of merchants and customers, with the opportunity to accelerate across new businesses and retail segments. Bringing together the business and sales functions is also expected to increase cross-selling opportunities and drive revenue opportunity from annuity and transactional revenues. Finally, by successfully integrating and merging Gruden and mobileDEN into IncentiaPay, the new business will result in an expanded blue-chip client base for driving rewards, deals and incentives. 7 A L I PAY S M A R T PAY In September 2017, IncentiaPay signed a Marketing In April 2018, IncentiaPay signed a Marketing Cooperation Agreement with Alibaba’s associated Agreement with Smartpay Holdings Pty Ltd company Alipay, the world’s largest third-party mobile (Smartpay), Australia and New Zealand’s largest and online payment platform, to deploy it as a payment independent full-service EFTPOS provider.

In February this year, we appointed KPMG to assist in a review of the Company’s governance and controls. While some control improvements have already been implemented, the review is ongoing. The Company will take all necessary steps to rectify any issues identified from the review. For more information on our corporate governance, and specifically risk management principles, please refer to the corporate governance statement on IncentiaPay’s website. P E O P L E A N D C U LT U R E IncentiaPay employs more than 425 staff across Australia and New Zealand1. It is the dedication and hard work of our employees that has propelled us to where we currently are. One of the most important factors impacting an organisation’s ability to innovate, compete and engage employees and customers is corporate culture – it is known to be linked to a company’s bottom line and must be backed with aligned thoughts and aligned actions of people. IncentiaPay continues to focus on the values that underpin a sustainable and positive culture. We have also consolidated several contractor roles to ensure commitment and loyalty with the business. We have hired a number of key individuals over the past six months to continue to meet the growth and development objectives of the business and support the corporate strategy. This was in line with our focus to improve the senior management structure alongside an experienced executive team and Board. Chris Berkefeld and Naseema Sparks joined the Board in February and May respectively. Some of the key changes within the executive team include a new CEO and joint COO/ CFO, as outlined in the Chair’s Introduction, as well as a General Manager of People and an Executive General Manager – Corporate Sales. 1.

I A I N D U N S TA N C H I E F E X E C U TI V E O F F I C E R O U TLO O K We have undergone significant change and restructure over the past financial year to position IncentiaPay for growth. Our cost rationalisation and savings continue to drive productivity gains, alongside our investment in technology to innovate and maintain our competitive edge and digital focus. Our investment in restructuring the Company, the strengthened board and leadership team, a renewed focus on key markets, and a clear vision of where to go and how to get there will enable us to move forward with a strong revenue business. Our core focus remains threefold. Firstly, on growth within the Entertainment business to generate additional new and sustainable revenue streams; secondly on the Alipay rollout, which has played a growing part in commerce and payment across Australia this year, and from whom we expect to see this continue as we gain ground in China; and thirdly, the integration of Gruden’s digital marketing and transactional capabilities with IncentiaPay’s platform. These will further entrench a market leading position in the loyalty and digital payment solutions space. IncentiaPay will continue to focus on the business growth drivers, which include adding new SME merchants, not-for-profits and corporate partnerships, increasing the consumer database and memberships, leveraging content to secure partnerships within verticals and geographies, encouraging the faster adoption of digital practices by consumers, merchants and employees, creating or facilitating more transactions – and fees from those transactions - and redirecting resources to higher level income-generating activities. A ‘digital first’ strategy remains key. I am positive about the future of IncentiaPay. With a total asset base of 36,000 SMEs, 20,000 not-for- profits, 1.5 million fee-earning householders and a reach of 3.5 million individuals transacting more than $1 billion per year - the opportunity for IncentiaPay to increase and drive new revenue streams from predictive CEO’S | FINANCIAL AND OPERATING REVIEW 10 THE LEADERSHIP TEAM 11 I N C E NTI A PAY H A S A N O U T S TA N D I N G L E A D E R S H I P TE A M W ITH A D E E P H I S TO RY I N M A R K E TI N G , TE C H N O LO GY, PAY M E NT SYS TE M D E V E LO P M E NT A N D B U S I N E S S M A N AG E M E NT.

THE BUSINESS RISKS WE RE OUTLINE D IN DETAIL IN THE CAPITAL R AISING DOCU ME NTS LODG E D WITH THE ASX IN FE B RUARY 2018 . THE BOARD CONSIDE RS THE FOLLOWING TO B E THE KE Y RISKS CU RRE NTLY FACING THE BUSINESS . RISK NATURE OF RISK REGULATORY REPUTATION COMPETITION IncentiaPay is subject to substantial regulatory and legal oversight. The agencies with regulatory oversight of IncentiaPay and its subsidiaries include, among others, ASX and ASIC. Failure to comply with legal and regulatory requirements may have a material adverse effect on IncentiaPay and its reputation among customers and regulators, and in the market. IncentiaPay has compliance frameworks, policies and procedures in place to manage the risk of non-compliance, and is prepared to play an active role in consulting with regulators on changes that could impact the business. Reputation risk may arise through the actions of IncentiaPay or its employees and adversely affect perceptions of IncentiaPay held by the public, customers, shareholders or regulators. These issues include appropriately dealing with product outages or issues, potential conflicts of interests, legal and regulatory requirements, ethical issues, privacy laws, information security policies and sales and trading practices. Damage to IncentiaPay’s reputation may have an adverse impact on IncentiaPay’s financial performance, capacity to source funding and liquidity, cost of sourcing funding and liquidity, and by constraining business opportunities. IncentiaPay actively manages the above risks by regularly monitoring its market reputation amongst customers and shareholders, as well as keeping an open dialogue with regulators and financiers. New competitors are emerging in the loyalty and incentives markets, within which IncentiaPay operates. The loyalty space is particularly competitive, with many well-funded international competitors. An inability to adapt to technological advancement, including further digitisation of products, could negatively impact the ability to attract customers and have a material adverse effect on the business of IncentiaPay. To mitigate this, IncentiaPay continues to invest in its merchant content, including the signing of exclusive content where applicable. The Company’s ongoing investment in its digital technology assets will also assist to lessen this risk. BUSINESS | RISKS 16 RISK NATURE OF RISK IncentiaPay’s success depends, in part, upon the continued performance, efforts, abilities and expertise of its key management personnel, as well as other management and technical personnel, including those employed on a contractual basis. The loss of the services of these personnel without replacement could have an adverse impact on the successful operation, management and marketing of IncentiaPay’s product/service offerings and platforms. Further, a substantial increase in labour costs for employees or contractors may have an adverse impact on the financial performance and/or financial position of IncentiaPay. The Remuneration Committee, a sub-committee of the Board, reviews the incentive structures of key personnel and senior management to ensure their remuneration is in line with the market, with a proportion deferred as a long- term/retention incentive. In addition, management regularly undertakes succession planning analysis of key lead roles with the view to understand suitable internal talent and their readiness to assume these roles. IncentiaPay is reliant on a number of third party contractors. These third parties provide essential services, on an outsourced basis, including software and/or product development activities. Accordingly, IncentiaPay is reliant on contractors properly performing their contractual obligations and performance failures may have an adverse effect on IncentiaPay. IncentiaPay is also an extensive user of third party provided IT hardware and software platforms, systems and infrastructure. IncentiaPay is reliant on these suppliers properly performing their contractual obligations, and performance failures or unreasonable price increases may have a material adverse impact on the Company. A failure by any of these suppliers to provide those services or a failure of their systems may adversely affect IncentiaPay’s ability to provide services to its customers. To minimise these risks, IncentiaPay actively engages with its key third party providers on a regular basis and remains abreast of potential risks within these providers through regular interaction at the senior management level. There is no certainty that IncentiaPay will remain well funded, especially if existing financial resources are invested in growth or the development of IncentiaPay’s technology platforms and that investment does not generate a timely return. IncentiaPay continually manages its cash position and regularly monitors its investments to balance the risk, outlay and timings of the returns. In addition, the Company continues to keep unused debt facilities available for any short-term funding requirements. Whilst every effort has been made to secure the technology supporting IncentiaPay’s various platforms, IncentiaPay does not intend to apply to register patents for all the intellectual property associated with the Entertainment and Frequent Values platforms. Other parties may claim infringement of patents or alternatively other parties may develop and patent other very similar, potentially substitutable products, processes or technologies. IncentiaPay see the unique value of its intellectual property, in the content of its Entertainment and Frequent Values platforms, as a mitigant to this risk.

Since the receipt of the first strike, the Board has commenced a strategic review of IncentiaPay’s remuneration and incentive schemes for Key Management Personnel (KMP) and other executives, in order to ensure we have the balance right between our employee value proposition and our shareholder return obligations. Following the AGM, the Board and management have consulted widely with stakeholders to more clearly understand their perspectives and concerns. This feedback has been incorporated in to the revised remuneration packages provided to the new executive team that have been put in place during the year, and was reflected in the seeking of shareholder approval in April this year for the issuance of Loan Funded Shares to key executives and the formal approval of the Board’s Performance Rights Equity Plan at that same EGM.

The terms of the current LFS arrangements can be summarised as follows: 1. IncentiaPay provides its key executives, or their nominee, (‘the executive’) with a loan to purchase an agreed number of IncentiaPay shares at or slightly above current market value; 2. The loan provided is limited recourse, such that the executive has the option to either repay the loan or return the shares at the loan repayment date, and interest is payable on the loan unless the Board approves otherwise; 3. Any dividends declared by IncentiaPay during the life of the loan will be applied against the outstanding balance of the loan rather than being paid in cash to the executive; 4. Certain vesting conditions apply to each executive’s shares, being related to time and share price; and 5. Prior to the shares becoming unencumbered, the executive is required to repay the loan. The Board notes that variations of this type of plan are broadly used by companies listed on the ASX.

CO N TR O L L E D E NTITI E S NOTE S TO TH E FINANCIAL STATE M E NTS FOR TH E YEAR E N DE D 30 J U N E 2 01 8 N OTE 1 | S U M M A RY O F S I G N I F I C A NT ACCO U NTI N G P O LI C I E S B A S I S O F P R E PA R ATI O N These general purpose financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. IncentiaPay Ltd is a listed public Company incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The Company is a for- profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise. Except for cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable by the measurement at fair value of selected non- current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. These consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue on 27 September 2018. G O I N G CO N C E R N As at 30 June 2018, the consolidated entity had current assets of $34.9 million and current liabilities of $41.3 million. The following matters have been considered by the directors in determining the appropriateness of the going concern basis of preparation in the financial statements: • $9.8 million of the net current liability balance (being $22.0 million of revenue received in advance (liability), less $12.2 million of prepaid production and commission expenses (asset)) will not crystallise as a cash outflow in the next 12 months; • the consolidated entity has announced a significant restructuring program, which will see the business return to positive operating cash flow within the next 12 months; and • the consolidated entity had access to unused debt facilities of $12 million as at 30 June 2018. As a consequence of the above, the directors believe that the consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern and, accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to recoverability and classification of recorded assets or amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the consolidated entity not continue as a going concern. A ) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent IncentiaPay Ltd and all of its subsidiaries (also referred to as “the Group”). Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Inter- company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group. B ) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the parent entity’s functional currency. TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year- end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items 45 I N C E NTI A PAY LT D A N D CO N TR O L L E D E NTITI E S NOTE S TO TH E FINANCIAL STATE M E NTS FOR TH E YEAR E N DE D 30 J U N E 2 01 8 measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined. presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers. Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other comprehensive income to the extent that the underlying gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income. Otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in profit or loss. GROUP COMPANIES The financial results and position of foreign operations, whose functional currency is different from the Group’s presentation currency, are translated as follows: • Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; • Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and • Retained earnings are translated at the exchange D ) COMPARATIVE FIGURES When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial period. Where the Group retrospectively applies an accounting policy, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial statements, an additional (third) Statement of Financial Position as at the beginning of the preceding period in addition to the minimum comparative financial statements is presented. E ) ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS The parent entity has applied the relief available to it under ASIC Instrument 2016/191. Accordingly, amounts in the financial statements and Directors’ report have been rounded off to the nearest $1,000. F ) NEW AND AMENDED ACCOUNTING POLICIES ADOPTED BY THE GROUP rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. REVENUE RECOGNITION Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations with functional currencies other than Australian dollars are recognised in other comprehensive income and included in the foreign currency translation reserve in the Statement of Financial Position. The cumulative amount of these differences is reclassified into profit or loss in the period in which the Group disposes of the operation. C ) GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the relevant taxation authority. Receivables and payables are stated exclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the relevant taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the relevant taxation authority are The Group has opted to adopt AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2017) early from 1 July 2014. This Standard replaces the current accounting requirements applicable to revenue with a single, principles based model. Except for a limited number of exceptions, including leases, the new revenue model in AASB 15 applies to all contracts with customers as well as non-monetary exchanges between entities in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers and potential customers. See note 2 for further details. G ) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR APPLICATION IN FUTURE PERIODS Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are not yet mandatorily applicable to the Group, together with an assessment of the potential impact of such pronouncements on the Group when adopted in future periods, are discussed overleaf: FINANC IAL | STATEMENTS 46 I N C E NTI A PAY LT D A N D CO N TR O L L E D E NTITI E S NOTE S TO TH E FINANCIAL STATE M E NTS FOR TH E YEAR E N DE D 30 J U N E 2 01 8 AASB 9: Financial Instruments and Associated Amending Standards (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018). The Standard will be applicable retrospectively (subject to the comment on hedge accounting below) and includes revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, revised recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments and simplified requirements for hedge accounting. The key changes that may affect the Group on initial application include certain simplifications to the classification of financial assets, simplifications to the accounting of embedded derivatives, upfront accounting for expected credit loss, and the irrevocable election to recognise gains and losses on investment in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. AASB 9 also introduces a new model for hedge accounting that will allow greater flexibility in the ability to hedge risk, particularly with respect to hedges of non-financial items. Should the entity elect to change its hedge policies in line with the new hedge accounting requirements of AASB 9, the application of such accounting would be largely prospective. Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 9 may have an impact on the Group’s financial instruments, including hedging activity, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact. AASB 16: Leases (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to leases in AASB 117: Leases and Related Interpretations. AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model that eliminates the requirement for leases to be classified as operating or finance leases. The main changes introduced by the new Standard include: • recognition of a right-to-use asset and liability for all leases (excluding short-term leases with less than 12 months of tenure and leases relating to low-value assets); • depreciation of right-to-use assets in line with AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment in profit or loss and unwinding of the liability in principal and interest components; • variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate are included in the initial measurement of the lease liability using the index or rate at the commencement date; • by applying a practical expedient, a lessee is permitted to elect not to separate non- lease components and instead account for all components as a lease; and • additional disclosure requirements. The transitional provisions of AASB 16 allow a lessee to either retrospectively apply the Standard to comparatives in line with AASB 108 or recognise the cumulative effect of retrospective application as an adjustment to opening equity on the date of initial application. Although the Directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 16 will impact the Group’s financial statements, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact. AASB 2014-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, as deferred by AASB 2015-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Effective Date of Amendments to AASB 10 and AASB 128). This Standard amends AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements with regards to a parent losing control over a subsidiary that is not a “business” as defined in AASB 3 to an associate or joint venture, and requires that: • a gain or loss (including any amounts in other comprehensive income (OCI)) be recognised only to the extent of the unrelated investor’s interest in that associate or joint venture; • the remaining gain or loss be eliminated against the carrying amount of the investment in that associate or joint venture; and • any gain or loss from remeasuring the remaining investment in the former subsidiary at fair value also be recognised only to the extent of the unrelated investor’s interest in the associate or joint venture. The remaining gain or loss should be eliminated against the carrying amount of the remaining investment. 47 I N C E NTI A PAY LT D A N D CO N TR O L L E D E NTITI E S NOTE S TO TH E FINANCIAL STATE M E NTS FOR TH E YEAR E N DE D 30 J U N E 2 01 8 The application of AASB 2014-10 will result in a change in accounting policies for transactions of loss of control over subsidiaries (involving an associate or joint venture) that are businesses per AASB 3 for which gains or losses were previously recognised only to the extent of the unrelated investor’s interest. The transitional provisions require that the Standard should be applied prospectively to sales or contributions of subsidiaries to associates or joint ventures occurring on or after 1 January 2018. H ) CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS The directors’ estimates and judgments are incorporated into the financial statements and are based on historical knowledge and the best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and from within the Group. N OTE 2 | R E V E N U E ACCO U N TI N G P O L I C Y Except for a limited number of exceptions, including leases, the revenue model in AASB 15 applies to all contracts with customers as well as non-monetary exchanges between entities in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers and potential customers. The core principle of the Standard is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. To achieve this objective AASB 15 provides the following five-step process: • Identify the contract(s) with a customer; • Identify the performance obligations in the contract(s); • Determine the transaction price; KEY ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS Impairment – goodwill and other intangibles The Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions and events specific to the Group that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions. • Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and • Recognise revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied. The Group recognises revenue on the transfer of services to customers at an amount that reflects the amount of consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services: Further details on the key estimates used in the impairment evaluation and the impairment recognised in respect of goodwill or other intangibles for the year ended 30 June 2018 can be found in note 12. • Revenue from transaction fees is recognised when the trade dollar transaction is complete and when all obligations of processing the transaction are fulfilled. Impairment – cash debtor receivables The Group assesses impairment of cash debtor receivables at the end of each reporting period by reference to the history of cash debtor collections. Valuation of franchise inventories Franchises held for resale are recognised as inventories at cost. At each reporting period the carrying value of each of these assets are compared to a valuation model to determine the net realisable value of the asset. The asset is written down to the extent that the carrying value is in excess of the net realisable value. The valuation model is market tested on a regular basis. • Revenue from monthly subscription fees is recognised at the end of each month when all obligations of providing membership support services in the month are fulfilled. • Revenue from the sale of franchise rights in countries and the issue of licences to run exchanges is recognised when the sale is complete and all obligations have been fulfilled. • Revenue from Bartercard membership fees is recognised when all obligations of processing the membership application have been fulfilled. • Other Bartercard revenue, which includes trading income and various fees charged to members FINANC IAL | STATEMENTS 48 I N C E NTI A PAY LT D A N D CO N TR O L L E D E NTITI E S NOTE S TO TH E FINANCIAL STATE M E NTS FOR TH E YEAR E N DE D 30 J U N E 2 01 8 other than transaction fees, is recognised when all obligations in respect of these income streams are fulfilled. • On commencement of memberships, Entertainment Publications enters into a performance obligation to deliver benefits in the form of special offers, discounts, promotions and booking facilities to members during the period of membership. The membership year runs from 1 June to the following 31 May. Entertainment Publications satisfies its obligations as services are rendered to members during the period of membership. Benefits must be provided constantly throughout the period and Entertainment Publications has concluded that a straight-line basis is the most appropriate method. • A liability is recognised for unearned revenue for performance obligations to members that have not yet been satisfied. (See note 17) • Payment for membership is made prior to the commencement of membership. • Entertainment Publications has an obligation to refund memberships in full for the first 90 days following payment. • A liability is recognised for unearned revenue for performance obligations to members that have not yet been satisfied. (See note 17) Payment for membership is made prior to the commencement of membership. • Revenue from Entertainment Publications marketing and merchant support fees through the placement of advertisements and the distribution of offers and promotions on behalf of businesses to members is recognised when the advertisement or offer is placed, distributed and invoiced. Revenue from the successful promotion of merchant offers is recognised when the transaction occurs which evidences the take up of the promotion. • Revenue from the sale of vouchers on behalf of businesses to members is recognised when the gift card is provided to the customer and it is paid for. • Revenue from commission receivable for bookings are recognised when the bookings are made and it is paid for. Payment terms are highly varied for the different sources of revenue, different customers and contract terms are individually negotiated. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

N OTE 4 | I N CO M E TA X ACCO U N TI N G P O L I C Y The income tax expense for the year comprises current income tax expense and deferred tax expense. Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income. Current tax liabilities are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to the relevant taxation authority. Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses. Current and deferred income tax expense is charged outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss. Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. With respect to non-depreciable items of property, plant and equipment measured at fair value and items of investment property measured at fair value, the related deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset is measured on the basis that the carrying amount of the asset will be recovered entirely through sale. Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. 51 I N C E NTI A PAY LTD A N D CO N TR O L LE D E NTITI E S NOTE S TO TH E FINANCIAL STATE M E NTS FOR TH E YEAR E N DE D 30 J U N E 2 01 8 Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur.

No collateral is held in respect of these exposures and there are no other credit enhancement arrangements. All trade receivables have been investigated and other than those which have been written off or provided, there are no indicators of poor credit quality for trade receivables.

P L A N T A N D E Q U I P M E N T Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written-down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised either in profit or loss or as a revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate to a revalued asset. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. Where material, the expected net cash flows are discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised as expenses in profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Useful life is taken to commence from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Estimated useful life for each class of depreciable assets are: CLASS OF FIXED ASSET ESTIMATED USEFUL LIFE Leasehold improvements 10 years Plant and equipment 3 - 5 years Leased plant and equipment 3 - 5 years The asset’s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written-down immediately to its recoverable amount if its carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings. L E A S E S Leases of fixed assets, where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset – but not the legal ownership are transferred to entities in the consolidated Group, are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised by recognising an asset and a liability at the lower of the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period. Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 61 I N C E NTI A PAY LT D A N D CO N TR O L L E D E NTITI E S NOTE S TO TH E FINANCIAL STATE M E NTS FOR TH E YEAR E N DE D 30 J U N E 2 01 8 CONSOLIDATED GROUP Plant and equipment $’000 FY2018 At cost 2,395 Accumulated depreciation (1,262) Leasehold improvements At cost Accumulated depreciation Leased plant and equipment At cost Accumulated depreciation 1,133 2,042 (977) 1,065 246 (78) 168 FY2017 $’000 3,423 (1,747) 1,676 1,887 (423) 1,464 172 (17) 155 Total plant and equipment 2,366 3,295 FINANC IAL | STATEMENTS 62 I N C E NTI A PAY LT D A N D CO N TR O L L E D E NTITI E S NOTE S TO TH E FINANCIAL STATE M E NTS FOR TH E YEAR E N DE D 30 J U N E 2 01 8 M OV E M E N T S I N C A R RY I N G A M O U N T S Movements in the carrying amounts for each class of property, plant and equipment between the beginning and the end of the current financial year are set out below.

Fair value re-measurements in any pre-existing equity holdings are recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit or loss. 63 I N C E NTI A PAY LT D A N D CO N TR O L L E D E NTITI E S NOTE S TO TH E FINANCIAL STATE M E NTS FOR TH E YEAR E N DE D 30 J U N E 2 01 8 Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually and/or when other indicators of impairment exist and is allocated to the Group’s cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units (“CGUs”). These CGUs represent the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored but are not larger than an operating segment. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill of the entity that has been sold. Changes in the ownership interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions and do not affect the carrying amounts of goodwill. Goodwill on the acquisition of franchises which are not held for re-sale is included in intangible assets and tested for impairment at least annually. TECHNOLOGY, SOFTWARE AND DATABASE ASSETS Technology and software assets acquired separately are capitalised at cost. Where the technology and software asset has been acquired as part of a business acquisition, these assets are recognised at fair value as at the date of acquisition. The useful lives of these assets are then assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Assets with a finite life are amortised over that life with the expense being recognised in the Profit and Loss. Expenditure on the development of technology and software assets are capitalised until the software is ready for use and then amortised over their expected useful life of four to five years (FY2017: 10 years). BRAND NAMES AND INTERNATIONAL RIGHTS The brand names and international rights were acquired in a separate transaction. These assets are recognised using the cost model, which requires an intangible asset to be recorded at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. These intangible assets have been assessed as having an indefinite useful life as neither brand names nor international rights are subject to contractual or statutory time limits. There is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate net cash inflows. As a result no amortisation will be charged. These assets are tested for impairment at least annually, either individually or within a CGU. DEVELOPMENT COSTS Development costs consist of costs incurred in designing, developing and contracting new territories. Recognition of the development costs only occurs when feasibility studies confirm that franchise proliferation is expected to deliver future economic benefits, these benefits can be measured reliably and there are adequate resources available to complete the development. The development costs are amortised over their useful life starting from the time the development of a territory is complete. The franchise agreements are for a term of 10 years and this will be used as the useful life for the purposes of amortisation. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre- acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another Standard (e.g. in accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other Standard.

Where appropriate the value of any proposed sale of CGU’s has been considered and the model includes a sensitivity analysis allowing for a range of growth rates. The following assumptions were used in the value-in-use calculations: 2019- 2021 Bartercard Entertainment Publications GROWTH RATES 2019-2020 (7.0%) to (5.0%) 5.0% GROWTH RATES 2021 ONWARD DISCOUNT RATE/WEIGHTED AVERAGE COST OF CAPITAL 2.5% FY2021 at 5.0% FY2022 onward at 2.5% 14.5% 12.0% Cash flows used in the value-in-use calculations are based on forecasts produced by management. These forecasts use growth rates consistent with historical performance and take into account cost growth assumptions and inflation expectations appropriate to the locations in which the Group operates. On 14 September 2018, the Company announced the signing of a contract for the sale of the Bartercard business. The sale price set out in that contract has also been considered in assessing the impairment charge taken in respect of that business. (See note 31).

N OTE 1 3 | OT H E R F I N A N C I A L A S S E T S ACCO U N TI N G P O L I C Y AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE INVESTMENTS Available-for-sale investments are non-derivative financial assets that are either not capable of being classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments. They are subsequently measured at fair value with any re-measurements other than impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses recognised in other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss pertaining to that asset previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified into profit or loss. Available-for-sale financial assets are classified as non-current assets when they are not expected to be sold within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. All other available-for-sale financial assets are classified as current assets. FINANCIAL ASSET IMPAIRMENT A financial asset (or a group of financial assets) is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events (a “loss event”) having occurred, which has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset(s). In the case of available-for-sale financial assets, a significant or prolonged decline in the market value of the instrument is considered to constitute a loss event. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss immediately. Also, any cumulative decline in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss at this point.

The fair value of the liability component of a convertible loan is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible loan. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the loan. The remainder of the proceeds are allocated to the equity component. This is recognised and included in shareholders’ equity. NON-DERIVATIVE Non-derivative loans and borrowings are financial liabilities with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial liability is derecognised.

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying amount with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss.

Expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee departures and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the terms of the obligations. Any re-measurements for changes in assumptions of obligations for other long-term employee benefits are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the changes occur. The Group’s obligations for long-term employee benefits are presented as non-current provisions in its Statement of Financial Position, except where the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period. In this case the obligations are presented as current provisions. RETIREMENT BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS All employees of the Australian entities and the majority of employees of foreign subsidiaries in the Group receive defined contribution superannuation entitlements, for which the Group pays a fixed superannuation contribution based on a percentage of the employee’s ordinary salary. All contributions in respect of employees’ defined contribution entitlements are recognised as an expense when they become payable. The Group’s obligation with respect to employees’ defined contribution entitlements is limited to its obligation for any unpaid superannuation contributions at the end of the reporting period. All obligations for unpaid superannuation contributions are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled and are presented as current liabilities in the Group’s Statement of Financial Position. PROVISIONS Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.

A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The business combination will be accounted for from the date that control is attained, whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised. When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is re-measured in each reporting period to fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date. All transaction costs incurred in relation to business combinations, other than those associated with the issue of a financial instrument, are recognised as expenses in profit or loss when incurred. The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. ACQUISITION OF GRUDEN On 14 May 2018, the Group acquired 100% of the equity instruments of three wholly owned subsidiaries of Gruden Group Limited, the subsidiaries are Gruden Pty Ltd, Mobile Den Pty Ltd and Blackglass Pty Ltd, thereby obtaining control. The acquisition was made to enhance the Group’s commitment to becoming Asia Pacific’s leading integrated loyalty and payment solutions provider, enabling merchants to attract and engage consumers across multiple platforms. Preliminary goodwill of $3.791 million is primarily related to growth expectations, expected future profitability, operational synergies and enablement of the Group to add a digital marketing and transactional payment platform division to its growing portfolio. Goodwill has been allocated to cash-generating units at 30 June 2018. Goodwill on acquisition is non-deductible for tax purposes. The trade receivables comprise gross contractual amounts due of $2 million, of which <5% was expected to be uncollectable at the date of acquisition. The fair value of Gruden’s intangible assets (patented technology and customer relationships) has been measured provisionally, pending completion of an independent valuation. Management has assumed immaterial adjustments are expected to other balance sheet items during the measurement period pending the independent valuation. As the initial accounting for the business combination was incomplete as at the end of the period in which the combination occurred, the Group has reported in this report provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. During the measurement period, the acquirer will retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognised at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. If the acquisition occurred on 1 July 2017, the full year contributions would have been revenues of $13.3 million and net loss after tax of $2.1 million.

This decision was taken in line with the restructuring program announced on 22 December 2017 and the Group’s strategy to focus on rationalising the Bartercard division to reduce costs and return to profit, and scale back investment in international operations. Consequently, assets and liabilities allocable to Bartercard UK and US were classified as held for sale. Revenue and expenses, gains and losses relating to the discontinuation of Bartercard UK and US have been eliminated from profit or loss from the Group’s continuing operations and are shown as a single line item on the face of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Included in the last year comparatives are a gain of $303,000 relating to those operations which became discontinued in FY2018.

IncentiaPay Ltd managed the Group as two separate segments, being the Bartercard business and the Entertainment Publications business.

S P E C I F I C F I N A N C I A L R I S K E X P O S U R E S A N D M A N AG E M E N T The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk consisting of interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and price risk. A. CREDIT RISK Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss for the Group. Credit risk is managed through the maintenance of procedures (such procedures include the utilisation of systems for the approval, granting and renewal of credit limits, regular monitoring of exposures against such limits and monitoring of the financial stability of significant customers and counterparties), ensuring to the extent possible that customers and counterparties to transactions are of sound credit worthiness. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for impairment. Depending on the division within the Group, credit terms are generally 14 to 30 days from the invoice date. FINANC IAL | STATEMENTS 88 CREDIT RISK EXPOSURES The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at the end of the reporting period excluding the value of any collateral or other security held, is equivalent to the carrying amount and classification of those financial assets (net of any provisions) as presented in the statement of financial position. The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk with any single counterparty or group of counterparties. Trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are considered to be of high credit quality. Aggregates of such amounts are detailed in note 8. B. LIQUIDITY RISK Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms: • preparing forward-looking cash flow analyses in relation to its operating, investing and financing activities; • monitoring undrawn credit facilities; • obtaining funding from major financial institutions; • maintaining a reputable credit profile; • managing credit risk related to financial assets; • only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and • comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets. C. FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on the sale of licences and transaction fee income from foreign entities and on the translation of its foreign subsidiaries. The Group had not hedged foreign currency transactions as at 30 June 2018. Senior management continue to evaluate this risk on an ongoing basis. With instruments being held by overseas operations, fluctuations in the US dollar and UK pound sterling may impact on the Group’s financial results unless these exposures are appropriately hedged. N OT E 3 0 | R E L ATE D PA R T Y T R A N SAC TI O N S A) RELATED PARTIES The Group’s main related parties are as follows: i. Key management personnel Any persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of that entity, are considered key management personnel. Disclosures relating to key management personnel are detailed in note 21. ii. Other related parties Other related parties include entities controlled by the Company and entities over which key management personnel have joint control. B) TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES Transactions between related parties are on normal commercial terms and conditions that are no more favourable than those available to other parties unless otherwise stated. Transactions between the Company and controlled entities include loans, management fees and interest. These are eliminated on consolidation. Pursuant to its LFS Plan (refer to note 20) the Company loaned funds to Iain Dunstan and Darius Coveney in 89 respect to the shares issued to them during the year. The effect of the arrangement is akin to an option. Further details are provided in the Company’s Remuneration report. During the year certain remuneration entitlements of executive and non-executive directors were paid, upon request of the directors, to parties related or associated with those directors. The value of such payments have been included in the Remuneration report. During the period, the Group received $1.130 million in repayment of a loan to a related entity, Barter Futures Pty Ltd, an entity controlled by Antoine Wiese, Trevor Dietz and Brian Hall (who were directors during the period). As at 30 June 2018, an amount of $0.186 million remained outstanding from Barter Futures Pty Ltd. In addition, as at 30 June 2018 an amount of $0.141 million remained receivable from BEL Marketing Pty Ltd, an entity controlled by Antoine Wiese, Trevor Dietz and Brian Hall.
