CHAIR’S INTRODUCTION

W E L C O M E

Dear Shareholders,

On behalf of the Board of Directors of IncentiaPay 

Ltd, I present to you our 2018 Annual Report.

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.

Gross revenue for FY2018 was $110.1 million, in

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),

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

30 June 2018.

(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.

A review of the year

Of the significant events occurring since last year, 

In February 2018, IncentiaPay announced its intention to 

there are three key strategic events that will support 

the ongoing growth of IncentiaPay’s business. 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.

2018. The Gruden business has had a successful year, 

launching a major parking website which transformed 

the organisation’s business and won them two ABA100 

Awards - Winner for Digital Innovation and UX Design 

Innovation in The 2018 Australian Business Awards.  

mobileDEN was selected by a leading sporting 

organisation after a competitive tender process, to 

provide their new Digital/Mobile Payments Solution and 

loyalty program for members and guests at multiple 

venues, as well as being selected by a franchised 

retailer to implement their mobile loyalty, ordering and 

payments solution across their 300 stores nationally.

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

Finally, by successfully integrating and merging Gruden

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

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

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.

O U R R E S P O N S E TO S H A R E H O L D E R  CO N C E R N S

In introducing this year’s Remuneration report, the directors would like to address the first strike received against 

the adoption of the 2017 Remuneration report at last year’s AGM, and the actions taken since that date.

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.

Further details of the updated KMP remuneration structures are set out in this report. 

1 .  K E Y M A N AG E M E N T P E R S O N N E L

KMP are those people who have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the 

strategic activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, including any Group (the Board) or any individual acting 

under delegated authority (in the case of the CEO and his direct reports).

All executives receive a base salary which is based 

The Company’s remuneration strategy is structured to:

upon factors such as the length of service, experience 

and skills, as well as superannuation as required by law. 

Executives may sacrifice part of their salary to increase 

payments towards superannuation.

The Company has an Employee Share Option Plan. The 

terms and conditions of the employee incentive plan 

were approved by shareholders on 5 April 2018.

The Board’s policy is to review remuneration for 

KMP annually, based on market practice, duties and 

accountability. Independent advice can be sought 

when required.

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is 

valued at the cost to the Company and expensed in 

accordance with Australian Accounting Standards.

The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be 

paid to Non-Executive Directors is subject to approval 

at the AGM. The maximum amount currently approved 

by shareholders is $500,000 per annum.

reasonable;

•  attract and retain high calibre executives;

•  align performance with shareholder value; and

•  be easily understood by all stakeholders.

5 . R E M U N E R ATI O N F R A M E WO R K

The Executive Remuneration Framework is 

characterised by Fixed Remuneration (base salary, 

superannuation plus other fixed benefits) and Variable 

Remuneration (including short-term incentive (STI) and 

long-term incentive (LTI) linked to performance).

F IX E D CO M P E N SATI O N

This component is not performance linked and 

generally consists of salary, superannuation 

entitlements and a motor vehicle allowance. The base 

amount is reviewed annually by the Remuneration 

Committee for the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and 

other senior executives. Any adjustments made during 

A N D  E X E C U TI V E CO M P E N SATI O N 

the year will either be as a result of market rate changes 

The Remuneration Committee has the responsibility 

for providing advice in relation to the remuneration 

packages of senior executives, non-executive 

and executive directors. The Committee is also 

responsible for the design and oversight of any share 

option schemes, performance incentive packages, 

superannuation entitlements and retirement and 

termination entitlements.

in order for the Company to remain competitive or to 

reflect any changes in the level of responsibility in the 

event the role has expanded.

Compensation packages are reviewed and determined 

based on current market rates and benchmarked against 

comparable roles and companies of a similar size.

achievement of agreed KPIs, while the LTI is provided 

predominantly as exposure to the price performance of 

ordinary shares of the consolidated entity.

SHORT-TERM INCENTIVES (STI)

The STI performance target is a Board approved scheme in which executives are incentivised to increase revenue 

and decrease cost to maximise IncentiaPay earnings. Hurdles are set in order to incentivise improved business 

performance. Individuals have STI targets, as set out in their contracts, with final payment amounts subject 

to individual, divisional and group KPIs as well as Board review and approval. In some cases, guaranteed STI 

amounts are approved on the initial hiring of key executives. 

LONG-TERM INCENTIVES (LTI)

LTI’s are linked to share price performance and provided to certain key management personnel as part of their 

remuneration package, at the discretion of the Board. These LTI arrangements currently include time based 

vesting arrangements, the achievement of annual EBITDA hurdles and exercise prices set at or above the share 

price on the date of issuance and thereby assist in the alignment of management and shareholders. The plan will 

be reviewed for FY2019.

As at 30 June 2018, there were 5,714,285 shares issued to key management personnel as part of Loan Funded 

Share (LFS) arrangements approved by shareholders on 5 April 2018.

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.

Details of shares issued to key management personnel as part of compensation during the year and their terms 

as at 30 June 2018 are set out below:

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

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.

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

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).

In addition to the table on the previous page, the Bartercard businesses also transact in trade dollars. These 

businesses operate as managers of the respective trade exchange and as such, earn fees in trade dollars and 

participate in the exchange, buying services. 

Trade transactions have not been recorded in the financial statements. Transactions in trade by the managers do 

not meet the definition and recognition criteria of assets and liabilities within the Australian Accounting Standards 

and are therefore not recorded.

DIRECT EXPENSES OF PROVIDING SERVICES

Sales commissions paid for the sale of memberships, being an incremental cost of obtaining contracts with 

customers, are recognised initially as prepayments. Subsequently, they are amortised as expenses through the 

income statement in line with the recognition of revenue from membership sales.

Costs incurred for the development of the following year’s membership package are capitalised as costs incurred 

to fulfil a contract with a customer. They are recognised initially as an asset and subsequently amortised over the 

period of membership during which those benefits are delivered to members. (See note 10)

Loss before income tax from continuing operations includes the following significant expenses:

When reporting the Company’s results for H1 FY2018, the directors noted that a number of write-downs had 

been taken by the IncentiaPay Group related to non-cash assets on the balance sheet. In finalising the FY2018 

results, the directors have further assessed the future growth prospects and associated investment costs related 

to the Company’s Bartercard and Gruden businesses and have taken a further impairment charge against the 

assets of these businesses.

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.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that 

net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where: 

•  a legally enforceable right of set-off exists; and 

•   the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either 

the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous 

realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant 

amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

The Group impairs the value of individual trade debtors based on an assessment of the credit quality of the 

customer, the previous trading pattern of the customer and management’s assessment of the likely recovery.  

All trade debtors which are not likely to be recovered are either written off or a provision for impairment is 

recognised. No credit risk is expected in respect of recoverables which are not written off or provided. The 

remainder of receivables, after provision for impairment, are considered to be of high credit quality.

C R E D IT R I S K

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counterparty or group of 

counterparties other than those receivables specifically provided for and mentioned within note 8. The class of assets 

described as “trade and other receivables” is considered to be the main source of credit risk related to the Group.

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. Securities in the form of personal guarantees from 

directors, or registered mortgages are regularly taken to support customer trading activities.

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value (as indicated) less, where applicable, 

any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

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.

D E P R E C I ATI O N

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold 

land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life to the consolidated Group. 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.

Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the 

sum of the following items, over the acquisition date fair value of net identifiable assets acquired:

•  the consideration transferred;

•  any non-controlling interest (determined under either the full goodwill or proportionate interest method); and

•  the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition 

date fair value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the financial 

statements. 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.

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 it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the 

recoverable amount of the CGU to which the asset belongs.

Impairment testing is performed at least annually for goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite lives and 

intangible assets not yet available for use.

The recoverable amount of the CGU’S is determined based on a value-in-use calculation, covering a detailed 

four-year forecast, followed by an expected cash flow for the units’ remaining useful lives using the growth rates 

determined by management. 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

2.5%

FY2021 at 5.0% 
FY2022 onward at 2.5%

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).

indefinite life intangible assets of $4,663,361. (See note 23c) Based on the recent valuation, management have 

taken an impairment against the intangibles in that business. (See note 3)

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.

unpaid at the end of the reporting period. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts 

normally paid within 60 days of recognition of the liability. The non-current part of payables are amounts not

COMPOUND 

Derivative loans and borrowings are compound financial instruments which comprise of two components; a 

financial liability and an equity instrument.

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.

Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at 

initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative 

amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective 

interest method.

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period 

and is equivalent to the rate that 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.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

SHORT-TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Provision is made for the Group’s obligation for short-term employee benefits. Short-term employee benefits are 

benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the 

annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. These benefits include wages, salaries 

and sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid 

when the obligation is settled.

The Group’s obligations for short-term employee benefits are recognised as a part of current trade and other 

payables in the Statement of Financial Position. The Group’s obligations for employees’ annual leave and long 

service leave entitlements are recognised as provisions in the Statement of Financial Position.

OTHER LONG-TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Provision is made for employees’ long service leave and annual leave entitlements not expected to be settled 

within 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. 

Other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be

made to employees. Expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations 

of service and employee departures and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at 

the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the terms of 

the obligations. Any 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.

Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding-up of the parent entity in proportion to the 

number of shares held. Shares have no par value.

At Shareholders’ meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is called, otherwise each 

Shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.

The entity manages its capital to ensure that it maximises the returns to Shareholders as dividends and in capital 

value, whilst maintaining sufficient equity to ensure the Company can meet its business development objectives 

and continue as a going concern. The Group only has ordinary shares on issue and is not subject to any externally 

imposed capital requirements.

Capital is also managed having regard to the Group’s long-term growth requirements.

Note that the shares issued on 5 April 2018 relate to Loan Funded Share arrangements with the CEO and COO/

CFO. These shares are subject to various restrictions, as set out further in the Company’s Remuneration report.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses.

A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving 

entities or businesses under common control. The business combination will be accounted for from the date that 

control is 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.

During the year, the Group decided to discontinue the Bartercard operations in the UK and US. 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.

Reportable segments are identified on the basis of internal reports on the business units of the Group that are 

regularly reviewed by the Board of Directors in order to allocate resources to the segment and assess its 

performance. Since the acquisition of the Gruden entities, the Gruden business formed part of the Entertainment 

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

business and the Entertainment Publications business.

The Company’s segment results include a corporate category reflecting head office operations costs. This does 

not qualify as an operating segment in its own right.

realistic expectation of recovery.

S E N S ITI V IT Y  A N A LYS I S

Directors believe that the fair value of financial assets and liabilities are not sensitive to movements in either 

interest rates or exchange rates having taken into account the relatively stable interest rate market of our interest 

exposure and there are few cross border transactions.

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.

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.
