Introduction

Dear Shareholders, 

On behalf of the Board of Directors of IncentiaPay, and 

as your Chairman, I am pleased to present you with the 

2020 Annual Report. 

The past financial year has been one of significant 

business change with the organisation evolving and 

moving forward in many areas, while at the same time, 

being forced to manage widespread and unexpected 

macroeconomic and social disruption. 

During FY2019, the Company announced a strategic 

has seen the average revenue 

per transaction in the 2020 

sales season increase by  

13 per cent. Thirdly, expansion 

of distribution beyond the

small merchant pilots did 

commence, this pillar is being 

deferred due to the onset of

review of operations and organisational structure, and 

In March 2020, the business experienced major and 

effected a major Company turnaround strategy. Over 

obviously unexpected disruption due to the Covid-19 

the past year, we have made significant progress in 

pandemic. While the Company’s pre-sales season was 

our efforts to refocus the business; in our successful 

successfully launched in February, this came to a halt with 

search for a new Chief Executive Officer and the 

substantially lower revenues in March, April, and most 

subsequent development of our Executive Team; in our

implementation of a cost reduction program including

a restructure; in our repair and rebuild of the business 

Australia and New Zealand, the Company began to see 

foundations; and, in managing the repercussions

and impact on the business from Covid-19. All of this

has been underpinned by support from our major 

the second half of July and August saw a subsequent 

shareholders, specifically, Suzerain Investments Holdings 

down turn due to Covid-19 restrictions being reinforced.  

Ltd (Suzerain). 

People were key to the implementation and delivery 

of the turnaround. In August 2019, Dean Palmer was 

appointed to the Board of Directors, to join myself, 

Jeremy Thorpe, and Charles Romito. In October 2019, 

the Board’s search resulted in the appointment of 

Henry Jones as CEO, replacing Interim CEO Darius 

Coveney who departed at the end of August 2019, and 

allowed me to step down as Executive Chairman. Henry 

has subsequently formed an Executive Team whose 

deep experience and background are outlined in the 

Leadership Team section of this Annual Report.   

At the end of 2019, IncentiaPay completed its restructure 

as announced at the Annual General Meeting in 

December, removing $14 million in annualised operating 

expenditure and closing six regional offices.

The strategic focus for moving forward in 2020 

continued to centre on three key pillars. Firstly, the 

transition of the Entertainment Membership to a  

100 per cent digital model. This was achieved as at  

1 June 2020 with the iconic Entertainment book ceasing 

to be sold after 26 years. Secondly, a focus on core 

membership products. The Company enhanced its 

core digital product to allow a 12-month membership 

to commence any time - and introduced three different 

product options including multi-city and multi-year, which 

The ongoing results of the pandemic had widespread 

impact on the organisation and its employees. While health, 

wellbeing, and safety of the team were the first priority, with 

work-from-home arrangements put in place, preserving 

as many jobs as possible was key. In order to achieve this, 

and in consultation with employees, the Company utilised 

a combination of salary reductions for executives, senior 

management, and the Board. A reduction in the number 

of days worked for other team members, coupled with the 

government’s JobKeeper payments were also utilised.

Strategic focus during this time was on supporting take-

away options from Entertainment Merchants, helping 

Fundraiser groups to prepare for fundraising in a different 

environment, and the significant technology transformation 

that is being undertaken in the coming years. We have 

remained vigilant in managing austerity measures 

across the business. 

The Company has now refocused its attention on 

the delivery of its technology transformation, the 

stengthening of consumer sentiment, and ensuring the 

business is well placed in a post Covid-19 environment. 

The Company will continue with its planned focus 

to support Fundraiser groups and their fundraising 

inititatives, as well as our Merchant partners.

FOUR-PHASED APPROACH FOR THE  
ROAD AHEAD

In December last year at the Annual General Meeting, 

I defined IncentiaPay’s four-phased approach for the 

transformation. It consisted of the following:  

1. TURNAROUND

• Cost reduction

•  Book to digital 

transition

• Focus on core business

• New channels

3. STRATEGY 

•  Medium to long-term 
corporate strategy

• Organic growth

• Inorganic growth

2. FOUNDATIONS
• Platforms
• Product 
• Team
• Operating model

4. BRAND
• Awareness & profile
• Media relations
• Investor relations 

TURNAROUND

100 per cent digital

A key decision was also made over the past financial 

year to transition the Company to a digital-only 

world. The organisation, which has sold the iconic 

Entertainment book to its Members for 26 years made 

a strategic decision that from 1 June 2020, the book 

would no longer be sold. In addition to cost savings from 

a logistics and printing perspective, additional benefits 

also included:

•  App members redeeming at higher levels than book 

members and gaining greater value; 

•  a full 12-months of validity from the date purchased; 

•  a more environmentally sustainable delivery 

mechanism; 

•  a more user-friendly experience;

•  the ability to add new offers at any time and allow 

members to take advantage of them instantly; 

•  the ability to share a Membership across multiple devices;

•  greater ability to increase member retention;

•  better access and connection to our members via 

IncentiaPay was a Company in need of significant 

electronic communications; and,

restructure, as evidenced by our FY2019 financial results. 

•  an important step towards our fintech future. 

Substantial progress has been made over the past eight 

months with our turnaround on track, our commitment 

to a digital future without the iconic Entertainment book 

completed, and a 54 per cent reduction in our underlying 

operating loss from $7.4 million in FY2019 to $3.4 million 

in FY2020. Underlying operating loss in FY2020 was 

impacted by the application of AASB 16, an accounting 

standard that removes operating lease payments off the 

Profit and Loss Statement and onto the Balance Sheet, 

and is instead replaced by depreciation and interest which 

appears outside of EBITDA reporting. The net effect is the 

removal of $1.9 million to underlying operating loss.  

Overall, the cost base going forward was reduced, in 

particular:

•  we reviewed and rationalised branch-based 

expenditure including early termination of leases where 

appropriate; 

•  baseline IT expenditure was reduced as part of an  

IT infrastructure review; 

A digital transition campaign was put in place at the 

end of 2019 to manage the shift of book Members to 

the App, including free trials to encourage take up. The 

outcome has been in line with Company expectations, 

based on general attrition rates, this being the first time 

a book is not available, and the effects of Covid-19 on the 

2020 sales season.            

Paramount to the turnaround was returning our attention 

to the core of the Entertainment business and a focus on 

our Member base, Merchant partners, Fundraiser groups 

and Enterprise clients. By better understanding the 

needs of our audiences and building value propositions 

to serve them, we will gain far more from these mutually 

reinforcing relationships. Over the past financial year, 

there have been a number of high-level initiatives 

undertaken. 

Member base 

The Member joining process was revised, with an 

improved look and feel and a refreshed interface to 

•  we consolidated our payroll systems and moved onto a 

lessen barriers and move a buyer from consideration to 

single payment cycle allowing better cash control; and,

purchase more quickly and easily. 

•  we implemented tighter controls over expenditure 

processes including the implementation of a purchase 

order system.  

We also launched 12 and 24 month memberships with 

three new product options and new standard pricing, 

giving the opportunity to subscribe at any time for a full 

year of membership from any start date. This change in

with Enterprise clients and work closely to implement 

Merchant partners 

As part of the organisational restructure in October, 

the travel and leisure department were amalgamated 

with the Merchant business development team to 

create a reduced Partnerships team. The team took 

responsibility for all acquisition, retention, and servicing 

of content clients across Entertainment memberships, 

Frequent Values and Enterprise clients, with accounts 

reallocated due to the decrease in team members.

To facilitate better Merchant servicing with a smaller 

team and support previous areas that were handled by 

an in-house production team, the process to automate 

Merchant onboarding, and manage content changes 

and additions commenced. This has resulted in the 

health checks and monitor results. Campaigns for 

Enterprise clients focused on driving activations for 

the Frequent Values loyalty membership among their 

customer base, with redemption-based marketing that 

showcased the value of offers through a scheduled 

program of client communications and highlighted 

available and new offers. 

 This was effective in assisting with activations and 

renewals as evidenced by a large corporate client 

reporting a reduction in its lapsed customer rate  

of over 1.5 per cent, representing a seven-figure  

cost saving. 

While new sales were a secondary focus in FY2020, 

we continued to field interest, signing a large corporate 

in-house build of a product that can be integrated into

Fundraiser groups 

We have worked closely with our Fundraiser groups 

over the past financial year to deliver more value. We 

launched a new Fundraiser support program, to include 

education and better training, as well as a digital asset 

management solution to help store, organise, manage, 

create, and distribute Fundraiser marketing assets. 

The software solution allows the organisation to track 

and analyse the use of digital assets by the Fundraiser 

groups to better communicate and market to them.

The servicing of Fundraiser groups was also 

restructured during the past financial year, with smaller 

Fundraising groups moving to an internal inside sales 

team, and an external call centre. In response to the 

need to decrease expenditure due to Covid-19, all 

accounts were temporarily brought back in-house and 

reallocated to existing account managers. We continue 

to use a flexible model that enables us to scale up and 

down our need for external resourcing.   

the most significant for Members included a new 

website homepage and new online member journey 

that changed the purchase, activation, and renewal 

flow, enabled the bulk purchase of online subscriptions, 

and introduced a membership gifting service. Tagging 

for revenue source tracking and optimisation purposes 

along with Google Ad-Words support was also 

introduced, as was the enablement of promotional 

codes and back-end redemption tracking for member 

campaign execution, and a postcode search page to 

find offers ‘near me’.

A number of administration improvements were 

made to the Fundraiser and Merchant portals of 

the Entertainment website, including improved 

functionality to reset forgotten account keys, account 

numbers and account passwords, and view Fundraiser 

balances for commission raised. 

From an internal perspective, improvements were made 

to back-end administration portals to improve process 

efficiency, and benefit from better reporting functionality.

Transforming our core with culture

During the past financial year, we commenced the 

transformation of our corporate culture, with a focus  

on understanding the Company’s mission, and the 

values and behaviours that we wish to uphold. 

The Company cemented and socialised its mission to 

create connection, a sense of belonging and a clear 

purpose across all our stakeholders. As a loyalty 

platform, our purpose is to create communities where 

everyone benefits, through experiences, savings, 

philanthropy, and the building of businesses.

We also committed to defining a Company direction 

that gave purpose to the roles of our employees and 

forming, “The Entertainment Way”, and in so doing, 

we defined an agreed set of values to work to – 

Community, Challenge, Courage, and Together. We 

will come together, challenge ourselves and grow in 

support of the Entertainment community. This new 

“Way” is centred on a “One Team” approach in service 

to our stakeholders. 

We have successfully spent the past six months living 

our new culture, improving communications and 

information sharing, identifying the best platforms to 

do so, and providing as much transparency as possible 

with regards to the decisions that are made. 

This has been particularly important from the onset 

of Covid-19, where we were forced into a work 

environment that saw us collaborating from afar 

and unexpectedly changing our short-term strategic 

focus. Despite challenging times, we have upheld the 

corporate values and behaviours that were defined,  

and I am immensely proud of the team.    

the Company pivoted from a dine-in, to a takeaway 

focus, launching the #EatAloneTogether campaign 

in conjunction with the Restaurant & Catering 

Association of Australia (R&CA) - its purpose to drive 

immediate offer redemptions and support customer 

traffic to Merchant partners. We will continue to work 

with affiliated associations such as R&CA to evolve 

how we assist our Merchant partners through these 

challenging times, and evolve campaigns such as these 

to maintain relevance like the shift from supporting 

#EatAloneTogether to #TakeAwayTuesdays.  

The virus is expected to impact Fundraisers for the 

remainder of the year who are now unable to raise 

money as they have traditionally done. With physical 

events significantly impacted in the foreseeable future, 

there is a need to find new approaches to engaging 

with and gaining financial support. Entertainment’s 

new 100 per cent digital platform is a simple, low cost 

mechanism to aid our Fundraiser Groups in raising 

those funds. 

Commencement of the fundraising season which usually 

starts in March was delayed by more than three months, 

as were Entertainment’s Fundraiser group launches 

which pivoted to focus on helping local communities. 

With unemployment rates growing, Members are facing 

economic hardship due to job losses or decreased 

income. As at the date of this report, renewal rates are 

lower than in previous years, with the possibility that 

redemption of offers will also be lower in the coming 

financial year than in previous periods. 

The outcome of this has been financially detrimental 

to the organisation, delaying the launch of sales 

season and increasing the Company’s requirements for 

liquidity, and funding. Due to far lower than expected 

member sales, there was a material impact on revenue 

between March and August 2020.

STRATEGY 

At the end of 2019, IncentiaPay commenced a strategic 

engagement to review and document the medium to long-

term corporate business strategy. As we move through 

the current turnaround phase and focus on building the 

business foundations, of equal importance is how we both 

execute in the short term, and position ourselves well to 

take advantage of the longer-term opportunities to 2023 

We will partner with our Merchants to continue to 

drive value and new customers to their businesses,

We are sufficiently capitalised, with Suzerain, our largest 

shareholder continuing to demonstrate its ongoing 

confidence and commitment to the business so we can 

address the significant and untapped market potential we 

know exists.

We are working on enhanced value propositions for 

Members, Fundraisers, and Merchants. We intend to 

improve the current Fundraiser portal, as well as the 

process by which Fundraiser groups join Entertainment. 

We will create a more user friendly, automated, quicker,

allows these groups to access Fundraiser material

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Despite a reduction in gross revenue and higher than 

expected NLAT, the NLAT has reduced from the prior 

year due to the transition from a printed book to a 

digital-only Entertainment membership, resulting in 

reduced production and logistics costs. Furthermore, 

a restructure of operations and the reduction of 

employee headcount has successfully removed fixed 

employee related costs from the business, while 

the closure of branches reduced property related 

fixed costs. Additionally, the prior year’s NLAT 

was impacted to a greater extent by impairment 

adjustments to goodwill.

The Company has also taken active steps in the 

management of costs due to challenging conditions 

brought on by reduced revenue and the delayed 

sales season launch. These included negotiating 

with property managers for rent relief, employees’ 

salaries reduced by between 10 per cent and 40 per 

cent, negotiating delayed payments to suppliers and 

accessing all available support provided by both Federal 

and State governments, including accessing cash grants

During FY2020, IncentiaPay continued to review, 

assess, and manage its funding and capital 

requirements. This has been a particular focus for 

both the Board and Management, given the effects of 

Covid-19, as well as the focus on rebuilding the core 

business over the short to medium term.

As announced on 28 February 2020, the Company 

obtained additional unsecured funding from its major 

shareholder, Suzerain Investments Holdings Ltd 

(Suzerain) of $5.8 million to support the business in 

expediting revenue generating initiatives.

The Company also announced on 4 June 2020, that 

Suzerain agreed to increase the facility by $4.0 million 

for working capital and operational requirements. 

Furthermore, an additional $1.2 million facility was 

secured for transformational capital expenditure, from

The Company continued with the restructure program 

which commenced in the second half of FY2019, 

with the focus to remove ongoing fixed costs from

Risks

21

       
B U S I N E S S   R I S K S 

IncentiaPay faces a number of business risks that may impact the Company’s ability to 
achieve its strategic objectives and create shareholder value. The Board considers the 
following to be the key risks currently facing the business.

RISK

NATURE OF RISK

There is no certainty that IncentiaPay will remain sufficiently funded. IncentiaPay 

recently secured additional funding from its largest shareholder Suzerain 

Investments Holdings Ltd (Suzerain) to provide it with sufficient working capital 

FUNDING

for the short term.

IncentiaPay continually manages its cash position and regularly monitors its 

investments to balance the risk, outlay, and timings.

The Company has seen operating cash inflows decline due to the delay of the sales 

season, and restrictions affecting dining out and general travel expenditure. This 

has directly resulted in the Company making the difficult decision to stand down 

employees and reduce hours, as well as reduce salaries for senior management, 

executives and the Board. This has had a short-term impact on operational capacity. It 

has further impacted our working environment, with work from home arrangements 

MACRO-ECONOMIC 

put in place to protect the health, safety, and well-being of our employees. 

UNCERTAINTY  

DUE TO COVID-19 

As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to evolve, the Board and Management 

continue to monitor the situation and adapt, and expenditure continues to be 

closely monitored and managed based on revenue. The team remains vigilant 

in managing austerity measures across the business whilst commencing the 

implementation of transformational initiatives to ensure the business is well 

placed in a post Covid environment. 

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. 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 

PERSONNEL

financial position of IncentiaPay. 

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. 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.

BUSINESS RISKS

22

RISK

NATURE OF RISK

IncentiaPay is increasingly reliant on its technology to deliver services to its 

customers. In the event of a technology outage or planned upgrade not fit 

for purpose, this could create an adverse reputational or financial impact to 

IncentiaPay.

TECHNOLOGY

IncentiaPay has signed a multi-year Master Services Agreement with Paywith 

Worldwide to deliver core components of its future technology capability. The 

Apps and websites will remain the intellectual property of IncentiaPay and 

continuity of service to Paywith’s backend has been protected though a call 

option, and market standard escrow provisions. In addition, IncentiaPay have a 

technology team on staff, to ensure the ongoing performance of our systems.

REGULATORY

REPUTATION

IncentiaPay is subject to substantial regulatory and legal oversight. The 

agencies with regulatory oversight of IncentiaPay and its subsidiaries include, 

among others, the 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, cost of 

sourcing funding, and liquidity.

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.

23

RISK

NATURE OF RISK

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 and flexibility 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 and customer experience platform will also 

assist to lessen this risk.

IncentiaPay is reliant on several 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.

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.

1. For the purposes of this report, Ben Newling is a KMP from 30 August 2019.

2 .  R E M U N E R ATI O N  P O LI CY 

The remuneration policy of IncentiaPay has been designed to attract the most qualified and experienced KMP and 

align objectives with those of the business and shareholders. All executives receive a base salary which is based 

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.

During the period, the Company had a Performance Rights Equity Plan (PREP) in place. The terms and conditions 

of the employee incentive plan were originally approved by shareholders on 5 April 2018. The PREP was wound up 

on 22 July 2019 as most eligible employees had left the business and the Board’s intention was to provide a more 

inclusive incentive plan for management and staff.

The Board has approved an Employee Gift Plan, which will see the Company issue $1,000 of shares to eligible staff 

under section 83A-35 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. The Board intends to issue theses shares from its 

placement capacity.

Due to the impacts of Covid-19, the Board of Directors and KMPs temporarily reduced their remuneration by 

between 30 per cent and 40 per cent.

Further, although not in the period, the Board approved a Loan Funded Share Scheme (LFS) for Henry Jones and  

Ben Newling on 23 July 2020, and an Employee Share Scheme for other senior executives. 

The Board approved Loan Funded Share Scheme is a three year long-term incentive plan for the CEO and 

COO, which will vest over a three year period. Vesting conditions related to achieving FY2021 Board approved 

budget, and for the FY2022 and FY2023 financial years, will vest where the share price is greater than  

$0.10 and $0.15 respectively. 

REMUNERATION REPORT

32

The Board approved Employee Share Scheme for senior management, will result in shares being issued into a trust 

controlled by the Company. These shares will be subject to the same vesting hurdles as the LFS.

The Board’s policy is to review remuneration for KMP annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. 

All remuneration paid to Directors and Executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed in 

accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. Independent advice is proactively sought when required, 

particularly around the employment arrangements of new KMP including long-term incentive plans.

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.

3 .  R E M U N E R ATI O N  CO M M IT TE E  A N D E X E C U TI V E CO M P E N SATI O N 

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.

The Remuneration Committee reviews the compensation package for senior executives on an annual basis and 

makes recommendations to the Board for approval. Compensation packages are reviewed and determined based 

on current market rates and benchmarked against comparable roles and companies of a similar size. 

The role, responsibility and charter of the Remuneration Committee was performed by the Board until 5 March 

2020 when the Committee was re-constituted with Charles Romito appointed as Chairman of the Committee.

4 .   R E M U N E R ATI O N O B J E C TI V E S A N D P R I N C I P L E S 

Remuneration packages are set at levels that are intended to attract and retain executives capable of managing 

the Company’s operations.

The Company’s remuneration strategy is structured to:

•  ensure employee remuneration is fair and 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/Performance Related Remuneration (including short-term incentive (STI) 

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

E M P LOY E E  G I F T  P L A N

On 18 June 2020, the Board resolved to implement an Employee Gift Plan for all eligible employees under section 

83A-35 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. The Board accepts, since the onset of Covid-19, many staff have been 

working reduced hours or are on reduced salaries.  Commensurate with this, the Board approved the scheme and all 

eligible employees will receive $1,000 of shares which will be issued from the Company’s placement capacity. Additional 

information is included in note 31 to the Financial Statements. 

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 and other senior executives. Any adjustments made during the year will either be as a result 

of market rate changes 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.

33

P E R FO R M A N C E R E L AT E D CO M P E N SATI O N

Performance related compensation includes both short-term and long-term incentives and is designed to reward 

key management personnel for meeting or exceeding their financial and personal objectives. The STI is an ’At 

Risk’ bonus provided in the form of cash and its calculation is based on the achievement of agreed KPIs. The LTI is 

provided predominantly as exposure to the price performance of ordinary shares of the consolidated entity, and 

to align management incentives with long-term shareholder value.

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. 

LONG-TERM INCENTIVES (LTI)

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

their remuneration package, at the discretion of the Board. There were no LTI arrangements in place during the 

period, however, LTI arrangements approved by the Board on 23 July 2020 include vesting arrangements on the 

achievement of Board approved budget and share price hurdles. The exercise prices are set at or above the share 

price on the date of issuance, and thereby assist in the alignment of management and shareholders.

in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001,

by the International Accounting Standards Board 

At 30 June 2020 the Group had cash on hand of  

$5.3 million, net assets of $6.2 million and a net current 

asset deficiency of $6.9 million. During the year ended 

30 June 2020, the Group incurred a net loss before tax

Except for cash flow information, the financial 

statements have been prepared on an accruals basis

These audited consolidated financial statements were

G O I N G CO N C E R N

The consolidated financial report has been prepared 

on a going concern basis, which contemplates the 

continuation of normal business operations and the 

realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the 

normal course of business.

During the year the Group focused its efforts on 

transforming the business from a fixed membership 

period to a 100 per cent rolling digital membership. The 

digital membership was launched in November 2019 to 

capitalise on the Christmas season. The formal launch 

was scheduled for February 2020, however, due to 

Covid-19 restrictions, was delayed as a virtual launch 

to June 2020. Membership periods were extended 

beyond 12 months to acknowledge the impact of limited 

access to membership benefits and address concerns 

raised by members. These changes have impacted the

•   Improved trading conditions on a progressive basis 

to support merchant accessibility for members in the 

short to medium term;

•   Continued cost cutting through streamlining of 

activities and processes;

•  Continued receipt of government assistance; and,

•   Continued support from the Group’s major 

shareholder, Suzerain, through the availability of 

financing facilities and accommodative repayment 

terms. This includes an expectation that the Group 

will defer the repayment of an amount of $500,000 

in respect of the interest bearing loan, which is a 

facility provided by Suzerain and its related entities 

(all facilities in note 16 collectively referred to as the 

Suzerain facilities) due to be settled on 30 September 

2020, or to capitalise the repayment amount into  

the existing facilities.   

The funding of ongoing operations of the Group is 

dependent upon the Group continuing to access 

the Suzerain facilities and/or the Group reducing 

expenditure in-line with current cash and financing 

resources. As of 30 June 2020, the Group had undrawn 

financing facilities from Suzerain totalling $8.3 million. 

See note 16 for further information. This undrawn 

amount has reduced to $7.6 million at the date of the 

approval of this annual financial report.

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations 

have been published that are not mandatory for  

the 30 June 2020 reporting period and have not been 

adopted early by the Group. These amended standards 

and interpretations are not expected to have a material 

impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements 

in the current or future reporting periods:

•  Amendments to references to conceptual framework 

in AASB standards;

•  Definition of a business (Amendments to AASB 3); and,

•   Definition of material (Amendments to AASB 101 and

I)   CHANGES IN SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 

From 1 July 2019, leases are recognised as a right-

POLICIES

The Group applied AASB 16 using the modified 

retrospective approach, under which the cumulative 

effect of initial application is recognised in retained 

earnings at 1 July 2019. Accordingly, the comparative 

information presented for 2019 is not restated and it is 

presented as previously reported, under AASB 117 and 

related interpretations. The details of the changes in 

accounting policies are disclosed below. Additionally, 

the disclosure requirements in AASB 16 have not been 

applied to comparative information.  

DEFINITION OF A LEASE

Previously the Group determined at contract inception 

whether an arrangement was or contained a lease 

under AASB Interpretation 4, determining whether an 

arrangement contains a lease.  

The Group now assesses whether a contract is or 

contains a lease, based on the criteria outlined in note 

11. A contract is, or contains a lease if it conveys the 

right to control the use of an identified asset for a 

of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date 

at which the leased asset is available for use by the 

Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the 

liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged 

to profit or loss over the lease period to produce a 

constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining 

balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use 

asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s life 

and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially 

measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities 

include the net present value of the following lease 

payments:

•  Fixed payment, less any lease incentives receivable;

•  Amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under 

residual value guarantees;

•   The exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is 

reasonably certain to exercise that option; and,

•  Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the 

lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess 

The lease payments are discounted using the lessee’s 

whether a contract conveys the right to control the use 

incremental borrowing rate, being the rate that lessee 

of an identified asset, the Group uses the definition of a 

would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to 

lease in AASB 16.

This policy is applied to contracts entered into on or 

after 1 July 2019.

THE GROUP AS A LESSEE

As a lessee, the Group leases various properties 

and equipment. Rental contracts are made for fixed 

periods of 2 to 4 years. The Group’s leases may have 

extension options as described below. Lease terms 

obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic 

environment with similar terms and conditions.

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost 

comprising the following:

•   The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;

•   Lease payments made at or before the commencement 

date less any lease incentive received;

•  Initial costs; and,

are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a

purposes.

Until 30 June 2019, leases of properties and equipment 

were classified as operating leases under AASB 117. 

Payments made under operating leases (net of any 

incentives received from the lessor) were charged to 

profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of 

the lease.

PRACTICAL EXPEDIENTS APPLIED

The Group used a number of practical expedients 

when applying AASB 16 to leases previously classified 

as operating leases under AASB 117.

In particular, the Group:

•  Used a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with 

reasonably similar characteristics;

•   Relied on previous assessments on whether leases are 

onerous;

order to allocate resources to the segment and assess 

its performance. Since the divestment of the Bartercard 

business, IncentiaPay Ltd manages the Group as one 

segment, being the Entertainment business. There is no 

allocation impact to segment earnings.

•   Adjusted the right-of-use asset by the amount of 

any provision for onerous leases recognised in the

SHORT-TERM LEASES AND LEASES OF LOW-VALUE 

ASSETS

The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use 

assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets 

and short-term leases. The Group recognises the lease 

payments associated with these leases as an expense 

on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

IMPACT ON TRANSITION

On transition to AASB 16, the Group recognised 

right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The change 

in accounting policy impacted the following balance 

sheet accounts on 1 July 2019:

•  Right-of-use assets – increase by $4.3 million

•  Lease liabilities – increase by $5.7 million

•  Lease incentive loan – decrease by $0.6 million

•  Onerous lease provision – decease by $0.6 million

The net impact on retained earnings on 1 July 2019 

was nil as the Group applied the simplified transition 

approach and has not restated comparative amounts.

IMPACT ON EARNINGS

operating lease payments were included in EBITDA, but 

the amortisation of the right-of-use assets and interest

REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Other than 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;

•  Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and,

•  Recognise revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied.

In November 2019, Entertainment launched a wholly digital version of the Entertainment membership that 

incorporates a rolling 12-month subscription period. The subscription period commences when the membership 

is activated and expires after a period of between 12 to 24 months, depending on the subscription purchased, or 

longer if extensions have been applied under circumstances. The membership year for the 19/20 edition of the 

Entertainment book ran from 1 June 2019 to 31 May 2020. 

The Group 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. The Group has consistently applied this revenue recognition model to 

both the 19/20 physical book, which expired on 31 May 2020 and the relaunched rolling digital memberships.

A summary of the revenue recognition by income stream of the Group is as follows: 

•  Fee income – Paid advertising: 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.

•   Fee income – Travel booking: Revenue from commission’s receivable for bookings are recognised when the 

bookings are made, and it is paid for. Members have access to a range of discounts and deals from hotels, 

airlines and car rental companies through the Group’s platform, from which the Group acts as an agent on 

behalf of the hotels, airlines and car rental companies.

•   Fee income - Consulting and media: Revenue relates to rendering of information technology consulting services 

and it is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract.

•   Membership subscriptions: 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. A contract liability is recognised for unearned revenue 

for performance obligations to members that have not yet been satisfied. Payment for membership is made 

prior to the commencement of membership. A gift with purchase promotion is treated as a reduction in 

revenue over the life of the subscription.

NOTE S TO TH E FINANCIAL STATE M E NTS FOR TH E YEAR E N DE D 30 J U N E 2 02 0

•   Corporate sales: Entertainment Publications enters into contracts with corporate customers to develop a 

program of special offers, discounts, promotions and booking facilities for their customers or employees during 

the period applicable in the contract. Entertainment Publications has taken the view that the performance 

obligations defined in the contract should be bundled into one performance obligation centred around access 

to the program of benefits. 

•   Gift card sales: Revenue from the sale of gift cards on behalf of businesses to members is recognised when the 

gift card is provided to the customer and it is paid for. 

Payment terms are highly varied for the different sources of revenue, different customers and contract terms are 

individually negotiated. 

REVENUE FROM GOVERNMENT GRANTS 

Revenue from government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply 
with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received. 

The Group has made an election to present JobKeeper on a net basis, being set off against the related salary 
expense. 

Cash flow boost assistance received during the period has been presented as revenue.

DIRECT EXPENSES OF PROVIDING SERVICES

Membership book printing and production expenses includes the amortisation of fundraiser sales commission 

and prepaid production costs.

Sales commission paid to fundraiser partners for the sale of Entertainment memberships is an incremental cost 

of obtaining contracts with customers, and is initially recognised as a prepayment on the balance sheet, and 

subsequently amortised as an expense through the income statement in line with the recognition of revenue from 

associated membership sales. 

BAD DEBTS WRITTEN OFF

Bad debts written off relates to $2.9 million deferred consideration for the sale of a group of previous subsidiaries 

known as the Bartercard business, (see ASX release 24 December 2019 Settlement of Claim with TCM), and  

$0.06 million owing from Blackglass Pty Ltd also a previous subsidiary, for deferred consideration held for 

working capital adjustments. 

The Board has determined that these balances will not be recoverable.

EMPLOYEE EXPENSES

Employee related expenses include all costs associated with human resources and is offset by JobKeeper 

payments earned as part of the Covid-19 government assistance package. 

The Group has elected to present JobKeeper payments on a net basis, with the income being set off against the 

related salary expense.

IMPAIRMENT OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS

See note 13.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTISATION EXPENSE

The Group has re-assessed the useful life of the software intangible asset, largely comprising costs associated 

with capitalised web development. As a result of the strategic transformation within the business during the 

financial year, the Group has determined that the period over which the written down value will be consumed 

will be shorter than previously estimated. Amortisation has been accelerated to reflect this, resulting in the asset 

being fully written down by 31 December 2020. 

The Group has adopted AASB 16, thereby recognising a right-of-use asset on the balance sheet using the 

modified retrospective approach from 1 July 2019 and has not restated comparatives for the prior reporting 

period. See note 1(i).

BUILDING OCCUPANCY EXPENSE

Due to the adoption of AASB 16, rent payments are included in the measurement of the lease liabilities and 

variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liabilities. See note 1(i).

FINANCE COSTS ON BORROWINGS

The increase in finance costs on borrowings is predominately due to the accrual of interest on the additional 

borrowings from Suzerain. See note 16. The adoption of AASB 16 also resulted in the recognition of interest 

expense on lease liabilities. See note 1(i).

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.

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. 

In the current circumstances, the Group’s projections of future taxable profits may be affected by:

•  Changes in forecasted cash flows – e.g. decrease in memberships, the costs of incentives to stimulate 

membership sales and decreases in costs due to savings initiatives. Cash flows may also be negatively affected 

by the dynamic and evolving nature of Covid-19 and the impact it has on the macro economic climate;

•  Changes as a result of the Group’s operational strategies; and,

•  Government support measures in response to Covid-19.

TAX CONSOLIDATION GROUP

IncentiaPay (the head entity) and its wholly owned Australian subsidiaries implemented the tax consolidation 

legislation. 

On adoption of the tax consolidation legislation, the entities in the tax consolidated Group entered into a tax 

sharing and funding agreement which, in the opinion of the Directors, limits the joint and several liability of the 

wholly-owned subsidiaries in the case of a default by the head entity.

This agreement provides that the wholly-owned subsidiaries will continue to fully compensate IncentiaPay for any 

current tax payable assumed and be compensated by IncentiaPay for any current tax receivable and deferred 

tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to IncentiaPay under the tax 

consolidation legislation.

The Group has estimated unutilised tax losses of $40.3 million. These losses, along with other deductible 

temporary differences, have resulted in potential deferred tax assets for the Group of approximately $2.3 million, 

calculated using the prevailing rate of Australian corporation tax of 30 per cent for the Group. 

After considering the above, the Group has determined that these deferred tax assets will no longer be 

recognised as it is uncertain whether future taxable profits in the short term will be sufficient to utilise the losses. 

The Group is part way through its transformation plan which will provide a platform to deliver growth and 

stability when restrictions are lifted post Covid-19. Current projections indicate a gradual return to profitability, 

however, given the levels of uncertainty it may not be sufficient for the purposes of reporting.

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 an impairment for expected credit 

losses is recognised. No credit risk is expected in respect of amounts that are recoverable, which are not written 

off or provided against. The remainder of receivables, after credit losses, are of high credit quality.

The Group uses a “roll rate” method to calculate expected credit losses for trade receivables from individual 

customers that is made up of a variable mix of number and size of balances. Loss rates are calculated based on the 

probability of receivables progressing through successive stages of delinquency to write off. Roll rates are calculated 

using an analysis of how balances change from one month to next until they reach 90 days. Data over the last 

12 months was reviewed to determine the level of recovery of those receivables older than 90 days. Combining 

these two measurements provided the Group with the ability to determine the loss allowance as of 30 June. Due to 

the severe economic impacts of the Covid-19 outbreak, the Group reviewed the expected credit loss allowance and 

determined that the adjusted loss rate for trade debtors past due over 60 days should be 100 per cent.

On that basis, the expected credit loss allowance as at 30 June 2020 was determined as follows for trade 

receivables:

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

counterparties other than those receivables specifically impaired. The class of assets described as “trade and other 

receivables” are 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 for which credit losses have 

been recognised, 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.

Right-of-use assets relate to leased property that do not meet the definition of investment property and are 

presented as property, plant and equipment.

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

•  The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability (see note 1(i) and note 15);

•  Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentive received;

•  Any initial costs; and,

•  Restoration costs.

Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and adjustments for 

remeasurement of the lease liability.

In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive 

to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination 

options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated). The 

Group has determined that it will not be exercising the options to renew, as such, extension options are not included in 

the calculation.

ACCO U N TI N G P O L I C Y

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

any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation 

and any accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the 

estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable 

amount and impairment losses are recognised either in profit or loss, or as a revaluation decrease if the 

impairment losses relate to a revalued asset. A formal assessment of the 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 more than 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.

DEPRECIATION OF PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

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

2-4 years 

Plant and equipment

Leased plant and equipment

3-5 years

3-5 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting 

period.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if 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.

GOODWILL

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.

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 2 to 3 years (FY2019: 4-5 years).

During the period, the Group re-assessed the expected economic useful life of its software intangible assets and 

revised their expected useful lives to between 2-3 years (previously between 4-5 years). The reassessment was 

a result of the strategic transformation within the business, detailed further in notation 3 in the table on page 78. 

These changes have been applied with effect from 1 July 2019 and have resulted in an increase in amortisation 

expense for the year ended 30 June 2020 of $1.4 million.  

These assets are tested for impairment at least annually as part of the value in use analysis associated with the 

cash-generating unit.

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 cash-generating unit.

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 cash-generating unit 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.

1.   Adjustments to purchase price allocation in FY2019. Refer to Annual Report 2019 note 22(c) for details.

2.  See note 24.

3.   The Group have re-assessed the useful life of the software intangible asset, largely comprising costs associated with capitalised web 

development. As a result of the strategic transformation within the business, the Group has entered into an agreement to move to a new 
platform that will result in new products and higher value propositions for customers. The Group has determined that the period over which 
the written down value of the existing platform will be shorter than previously estimated. Amortisation has been accelerated to reflect this, 
resulting in the asset being fully written down by 31 December 2020.

4.   As a result of the Group’s decision to seek expressions of interest with respect to Entertainment Digital business assets, it has been assessed 
that the assets will not produce any future economic benefits to the Group, as such, the assets have been impaired to reflect an estimate of 
their fair value less costs of disposal. This has resulted in impairment of $633,000 during the financial year.

5.   As at 30 June 2020 the estimated recoverable amounts determined using the method outlined below were found to be less than the carrying 

value of the net assets of the cash-generating unit and accordingly, an impairment adjustment on goodwill was required. 

Current market conditions brought on by Covid-19, in addition to uncertainty associated with the change in the 

Group’s business model, has triggered an assessment whether the carrying value of the Groups’ goodwill and 

other non-current assets may be impaired. 

The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is determined based on a value-in-use calculation, covering 

a detailed five-year forecast, followed by an expected cash flow for the unit’s remaining useful life using the 

growth rates determined by management. Where appropriate the value of any proposed sale of cash-generating 

units 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:

Cash flows used in the value-in-use calculations are based on forecasts produced by management. The growth 

rates are based on a proposed strategic repositioning of the core operations of the business focusing on long-

term sustainability. Forecasts for 2021 consider the increased level of market volatility and uncertainty caused by 

Covid-19 and the business transformation currently in progress. The Directors consider these forecasts to reflect 

the best estimates of revenue based on facts and circumstances available as at 30 June 2020. Given the nature of 

the uncertainty associated with the underlying assumptions, any changes over the coming months not factored in 

the cash flow forecasts may result in material changes to the assumptions. 

The key assumptions to which the model is most sensitive include:

•  Forecast revenue and expenditure taking into account the impacts of Covid-19 for the first half of the forecast 

year, and based on the continued progress of the technology transformation which is anticipated to be 

completed in the first half of the financial year; and,

•  The discount rate of 11 per cent (post tax). 

As at 30 June 2020 the estimated recoverable amounts determined using the method outlined above were found 

to be less than the carrying value of the net assets of the cash-generating unit and accordingly, an impairment 

adjustment was required.

Following the impairment loss recognised in the Group’s cash-generating unit, the recoverable amount was equal 

to the carrying amount. Therefore, any adverse movement in a key assumption would lead to further impairment.

Lease liabilities are measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the 

following lease payments:

•  Fixed payment, less any lease incentives receivable;

•  Amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;

•  The exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and, 

•  Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

The lease payments are discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate of 5.54 per cent, being the rate 

that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar 

economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

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

•  The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;

•  Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentive received;

•   Any initial costs; and,

•  Restoration costs.

The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and 

short-term leases. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a 

straight-line basis over the lease term.

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 liability is measured at initial recognition less 

principal repayments, 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.

INTEREST BEARING LOAN 

On 9 August 2019 the Group entered into a loan deed with Suzerain for total funding of $19.0 million to support 

working capital requirements and to restructure the business.

The loan was to be repaid on 30 September 2020 with interest capitalised at 10 per cent per annum. During the 

AGM, resolutions were passed to enter into a General Security Deed over the assets of the Group in the form 

attached to the Convertible Loan Deed and for the loan to be convertible to ordinary shares at the higher of 

$0.047 per share or 30 days volume weighted average price prior to conversion. 

Accordingly, $19.3 million including accrued interest of the convertible loan was converted to equity with the 

issuance of 410,643,766 ordinary shares (4.7 cents per share) in the Company. This will leave $500,000 of the 

convertible loan in which Suzerain had the option to convert up until 30 June 2020. The option lapsed as the 

loan was not converted at 30 June 2020 and will remain as a secured interest-bearing loan repayable by  

30 September 2020.

The Group entered into a new Loan Deed with Suzerain on 27 February 2020 for the provision of a $5.83 million 

facility (including associated borrowing costs). Subsequently, Suzerain has agreed to increase the facility limit of 

the original loan by $4.0 million to $9.825 million. This facility is unsecured with the view to obtaining shareholder 

approval for security over the assets of the Group at the Company’s next Annual General Meeting, anticipated to 

be held in November 2020.

Skybound Fidelis Investment Limited as trustee for the Skybound Fidelis Credit Fund (Skybound) (a related entity 

of Suzerain) agreed to provide the Group with a $1.2 million facility for the transformational capital expenditures 

to be agreed between the Group and Skybound. As at 30 June 2020 this loan facility had not been drawn down.

The contract liabilities primarily relate to cash receipts from membership sales, for which revenue is recognised 

over time. The reduction in contract liabilities is predominantly due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, 

which resulted in the planned launch events for the new digital product to be postponed from numerous physical 

events in February 2020 to virtual events in June 2020. The launch events were earmarked as a key strategic tool 

to engage fundraisers and use as a launchpad for the new digital membership. The change in membership also 

changed the timing of when cash was collected as books could be sold ahead of when the membership period 

commenced, whereas rolling digital memberships were only purchased when books expired, being 31 May 2020.

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.

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 benefits 

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.

ONEROUS LEASE PROVISION

The Group currently has leases for office space in various towns and cities across Australia and New Zealand. 

As a result of decisions made by the Board to streamline the operations of the business in 2019, certain leases 

became surplus to requirements. For those locations, the Group vacated the premises and attempted to sublease 

the space. Those leases were determined to be onerous at the time the Group vacated the premises, and the 

provision was calculated based on the present value of contracted obligations net of expected rental income.

As part of the initial application of AASB 16, the onerous lease provision was offset against the right-of-use assets 

at the date of initial application. See note 1(i).

RESTRUCTURING PROVISION

In December 2017 IncentiaPay Ltd announced a restructure program in respect of geographical presence and the 

employee cost base. As at 31 December 2017, a provision was raised for $4.5 million, being for employee entitlements 

and occupancy costs. The Company spent $1.9 million of this provision during the six-month period ended 30 June 

2018 and the remaining balance of $2.6 million was spent during the second half of financial year 2019.

MAKE GOOD PROVISION

The Group is required to restore the leased premises of its offices to their satisfactory condition at the end of 

the respective lease terms. A provision has been recognised for the present value of the estimated expenditure 

required for the restoration. These costs have been capitalised as part of the cost of leasehold improvements and 

are amortised over the shorter of the term of the lease and the useful life of the assets.

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.

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.

SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

The fair value of unissued ordinary shares granted is recognised as a benefit expense with a corresponding 

increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the 

recipients become unconditionally entitled to the equity-based incentive.

Upon the issue of shares, the balance of the share based payments reserve relating to those rights are transferred 

to share capital.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign controlled entity are recognised in other 

comprehensive income as a foreign currency translation reserve. The cumulative amount is reclassified to profit 

or loss when the net investment is disposed.

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 divestment of the Bartercard entities, IncentiaPay Ltd manages the Group as one segment, 

being the Entertainment Publications business.

The Group’s segment results include a corporate category reflecting head office operating costs. This does not 

qualify as an operating segment in its own right.

The Group has not disclosed the results of the discontinued operation within the segment disclosures. This decision 

was based on the fact that the Group did not separately review the results of this division since the decision to 

dispose of it. 

The results of the discontinued operations are disclosed in note 24. There were no discontinued operations during 

the 2020 financial year.

REVENUE BY GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION

Revenue, excluding revenue from discontinued operations, attributable to external customers is disclosed below

CAPITAL COMMITMENTS

On 31 July 2020, the Group entered into a master services agreement (MSA) with Paywith Australia Pty Ltd to 

develop the IncentiaPay products.  

This MSA follows on from a term sheet which was entered into in May 2020 which established the key commercial 

terms of the agreement. An amount of $615,000 was committed under the provisions of the term sheet for the 

development of the IncentiaPay products of which $50,000 was paid in June and a further $50,000 was accrued for 

under trade payables. The remaining $515,000 is anticipated to be paid in the first of half of the 2021 financial year.

R E CO G N I S E D FA I R VA LU E M E A S U R E M E N T S

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation 

techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific 

estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in 

level 2.

VA LUATI O N T E C H N I Q U E S  U S E D TO  D E T E R M I N E  FA I R  VA LU E S

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

•  Deferred consideration - based on the present value of the future cash flows, discounted using a 3-year 

government bond rate.

•  Lease liabilities - based on the present value of the future cash flows, discounted using an incremental 

borrowing rate.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. 

Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation 

techniques as follows:

•  Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•  Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either 

directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

•  Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

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 the low number of cross border transactions. Refer to the Market risk section below for further 

information.

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 and foreign currency risk.

M A R K E T R I S K

A. CREDIT RISK

Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by customers of 

contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group. 

I. RISK MANAGEMENT

Credit risk is managed through the maintenance 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, ensuring to the extent possible that customers 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.

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.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

106

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 02 0

The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk with any single customer or group of customers.  

$35 million of the revenue in note 2 are memberships and gift cards sales, they are cash on delivery, therefore, the 

Group has no significant credit risk.

Covid-19 impacts have increased the possibility of non-performance by customers, in particular, customers 

operating within the travel and leisure sector. The Group started engaging with its customers since the start 

of the pandemic, providing discounts to the existing debts or assisting customers with new sales proportions. 

As the revenue from travel and leisure was $1.7 million which was only 4.0 per cent of the total revenue for the 

financial year, there is no significant credit risk.

II. IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

The Group has trade and other receivables that are subject to the expected credit loss model. 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. While cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements 

of AASB 9, the identified impairment loss was immaterial.

The major customers of trade and other receivables were not affected by Covid-19, as this group of customers 

are mainly in the energy, banking and insurance industry.

Trade and other receivables

The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime 

expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. See note 8.

B. LIQUIDITY RISK

Included in the $3.2 million disclosed in the 2020 borrowings time band is $0.5 million which is ‘within 1 year’, and 

the loan is required to be repaid by 30 September 2020. See note 16. Management monitors rolling forecasts of 

the Group’s liquidity reserve, and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows.

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.

I. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

The Group entered into a new Loan Deed with Suzerain on 27 February 2020 for the provision of a $5.83 million 

facility (including associated borrowing costs). Subsequently, Suzerain has agreed to increase the facility limit of 

the original loan by $4.0 million to $9.825 million. This facility will initially be unsecured with the view to obtaining 

shareholder approval for security at the Company’s next Annual General Meeting, anticipated to be held in 

November 2020.  See note 16.

NOTE S TO TH E FINANCIAL STATE M E NTS FOR TH E YEAR E N DE D 30 J U N E 2 02 0

II. MATURITIES OF FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Interest bearing loan

As at 30 June 2020, the interest bearing loan with Suzerain will mature on 30 September 2020. See note 16. 

Additional growth operational facility

As at 30 June 2020, the additional growth operational facility with Suzerain will mature on 31 December 2021. 

See note 16.

Transformational capital facility

As at 30 June 2020, the transformational capital facility with Suzerain will mature 18 months from the date of the 

first draw down. There was no draw down as at 30 June 2020. See note 16.

C. FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on the sale of memberships and other fee income from foreign 

entities and on the translation of its foreign subsidiaries. Senior management has not hedged foreign currency 

transactions as at 30 June 2020 as $4.6 million of total revenue is in NZD and the foreign currency fluctuation 

between AUD and NZD is historically insignificant at 0.5 per cent during the year. Foreign exchange risk was 

therefore, considered insignificant. Senior management continue to evaluate this risk on an ongoing basis.

The exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in Australian dollars, was as 

follows:

NZD
$’000

At the end of the financial year, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rate

employee trust, being Entertainment Trus Co Pty Ltd, whereby each employee will be gifted $1,000 of shares for 

no payment. The number of shares will be determined based on the share price at the date they are issued and 

will be subject to the terms of the plan rules which include:

•  A recipient must be an employee of the Group on 28 August 2020.

•  The shares cannot be sold, assigned, transferred, or used as security before the earlier of: 

•  The end of three years after the acquisition of the shares;

•  The employee is no longer employed by the Group; or, 

•  There is a change of control event that occurs after the shares are issued to employees.

SALE OF MOBILEDEN 

The Group entered into an agreement to dispose of the MobileDEN platform and associated assets on 1 July 2020 

to Mobecom Limited. Consideration for the sale transaction will be determined using revenue over the period of  

12 months after settlement. Settlement is dependent on Suzerain releasing its security interest over the assets, 

which occurred on 1 July 2020. Assets and liabilities associated with this sale have not been reclassified as 

available for sale in the financial report as they have either been fully recovered, or impaired, or have been fully 

settled as at 30 June 2020. 

COVID-19

Conditions affecting the macro economic environment and the uncertainty brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic 

continues after 30 June 2020, and given the nature of the pandemic, the term of this impact is unknown. The 

Group will continue to monitor the impacts associated with the pandemic, with a view to take appropriate and 

timely action.

IncentiaPay Limited (the Company). 

In our opinion, the accompanying Financial 
Report of the Company is in accordance 
with the Corporations Act 2001, including:  

•

giving a true and fair view of the 
Group’s financial position as at 30

Material uncertainty related to going concern 

We draw attention to Note 1, “Going Concern” in the Financial Report. The conditions disclosed in 
Note 1, indicate a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to 
continue as a going concern and, therefore, whether it will realise its assets and discharge its 
liabilities in the normal course of business, and at the amounts stated in the financial report. Our 
opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.  

In concluding there is a material uncertainty related to going concern we evaluated the extent of 
uncertainty regarding events or conditions casting significant doubt in the Group’s assessment of 
going concern. This included:  

•

Analysing the cash flow projections by:  

•

•

Evaluating the underlying data used to generate the projections for consistency with other 
information tested by us, and our understanding of the Group’s intentions, and past results 
and practices;  

Assessing the planned levels of operating and capital expenditures for consistency of 
relationships and trends to the Group’s historical results, particularly in light of recent loss 
making operations, results since year end, and our understanding of the business, industry 
and economic conditions of the Group with consideration to Covid-19;  

•

•

•

Assessing significant non-routine forecast cash inflows and outflows for feasibility, quantum and 
timing. We used our knowledge of the client, its industry and financial position to assess the 
level of associated uncertainty;  

Reading correspondence with existing financiers to understand the financing options available to 
the Group, and assess the level of associated uncertainty resulting from financial loan draw-down 
conditions and negotiation of additional/revised funding arrangements;  

Evaluating the Group’s going concern disclosures in the financial report by comparing them to our 
understanding of the matter, the events or conditions incorporated into the cash flow projection 
assessment, the Group’s plans to address those events or conditions, and accounting standard 
requirements. We specifically focused on the principal matters giving rise to the material 
uncertainty. 

Key Audit Matters 

Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in 
our audit of the Financial Report of the current period. 

These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Financial Report as a whole, and in 
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. 

In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we 
have determined the matter described below to be the Key Audit Matter.

Valuation of Goodwill and other intangible assets ($14.387m) 

Refer to Note 13 to the Financial Report 

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

A key audit matter for us was the Group’s 
annual testing of goodwill and other intangible 
assets for impairment, given the size of the 
balance (being 53% of total assets). We 
focussed on the significant forward-looking 
assumptions the Group applied in their value in 
use model, including: 
•

forecast operating cash flows – the Group 
has incurred a loss during the year, as a 
result of impacts of reductions in 
membership subscriptions and gift card 
sales, as well as costs associated with the 
business transformation program this 
financial year. These conditions increase 
the possibility of goodwill and other 
intangible assets being impaired. Forecast 
operating cash flows take into account the 
Groups transformation program, including 
the strategic reposition of the core 
operations of the business focussing on 
long-term sustainability, as well as 
anticipated impacts from Covid-19 on the 
volatility of cash flows over the forecast 
period. This increases the risk of inaccurate 
forecasts or a wider range of possible 
outcomes for us to consider.  
forecast growth rate and terminal growth 
rate – In addition to the uncertainties 
described above, the Group’s model is 
highly sensitive to small changes in these 
assumptions, indicating likely impairment. 
This drives additional audit effort specific to 
their feasibility and consistency of 
application to the Group’s strategy. 
discount rate – this is complicated in nature 
and varies according to the conditions and 
environment the specific Cash Generating 
Unit (CGU) is subject to from time to time, 
and the model’s approach to incorporating 
risks into the cash flows or discount rate. 
The Group’s modelling is highly sensitive to 
small changes in the discount rate. 

•

•

Working with our valuation specialists, our 
procedures included:  
• We considered the appropriateness of the 

value in use method applied by the Group to 
perform the annual test of goodwill for 
impairment against the requirements of the 
accounting standards.  

• We, along with our valuation specialists, 
assessed the integrity of the value in use 
model used, including the accuracy of the 
underlying calculation formulas.  

• We considered the sensitivity of the model by 
varying key assumptions, such as forecast 
growth rate, terminal growth rate and discount 
rate, within a reasonably possible range. We 
did this to identify those assumptions at 
higher risk of bias or inconsistency in 
application and to focus our further 
procedures.  

• We assessed the accuracy of previous Group 
forecasts to inform our evaluation of forecasts 
incorporated in the model.  

• Working with our valuation specialists, we 
challenged the Group’s significant forecast 
cash flow and growth assumptions in light of 
the expected downturn in membership 
subscriptions in the short-term and as a result 
of Covid-19, as well as the change in 
anticipated cash flow cycles following 
completion of the Group’s transformation 
program. We compared key events to the 
Board approved plan and strategy. We applied 
increased scepticism to forecasts in the areas 
where previous forecasts were not achieved. 
We compared forecast growth rate and 
terminal growth rate to published studies of 
industry trends and expectations, and 
considered differences for the Group’s 
operations. We used our knowledge of the 
Group, their past performance, business and 
customers, and industry experience. 
• We checked the consistency of the growth 
rate to the Group’s stated plan and strategy, 
past performance of the Group, and our 

 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

116

 
 
experience regarding the feasibility of these in 
the industry/economic environment in which 
they operate. 

• Working with our valuation specialists, we 
analysed the Group’s discount rate against 
publicly available data of a group of 
comparable entities. 

• We assessed the difference between the 

Group’s year-end market capitalisation and the 
carrying amount of the net assets, by 
comparing the year-end market capitalisation 
to the Group’s enterprise value. 

• We recalculated the impairment charge 
against the recorded amount disclosed. 
• We assessed the disclosures in the financial 
report using our understanding obtained from 
our testing and against the requirements of 
the accounting standards. 

The Group’s model used to perform their 
annual testing of goodwill and other intangible 
assets for impairment is largely manually 
developed, uses adjusted historical 
performance, and a range of internal and 
external sources as inputs to the assumptions. 
The Group have not met prior forecasts, raising 
our concern for reliability of current forecasts. 
Complex modelling, using forward-looking 
assumptions tend to be prone to greater risk for 
potential bias, error and inconsistent 
application. These conditions necessitate 
additional scrutiny by us, in particular to address 
the objectivity of sources used for assumptions, 
and their consistent application.  

The Group recorded an impairment charge of 
$3.6m against goodwill, resulting from the 
reduction in business due to Covid-19 along 
with changing cash flow cycles under the 
business transformation, increasing the 
sensitivity of the model to small changes. This 
further increased our audit effort in this key 
audit area.  

We involved valuation specialists to supplement 
our senior audit team members in assessing 
this key audit matter.

express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the 
Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion 

In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other 
Information. In doing so, we consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with 
the Financial Report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially 
misstated.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The Directors are responsible for: 

• preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian 

Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 

•

•

implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that 
gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or 
error 

assessing the Group and Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether the 
use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. This includes disclosing, as 
applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting 
unless they either intend to liquidate the Group and Company or to cease operations, or have 
no realistic alternative but to do so.  

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report 

Our objective is: 

•

•

to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Report as a whole is free from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and  

to issue an Auditor’s Report that includes our opinion.  

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it 
exists. 

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the 
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on 
the basis of the Financial Report. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report is located at the 
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: 
http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf
