Introduction

Chairman’s  
Introduction

Dear Shareholders,

On behalf of the Board of Directors of 
IncentiaPay, I am pleased to present to you the 
2022 Annual Report.

The past financial year has seen IncentiaPay 
make strong progress with its business 
transformation to rebuild the technology 
platform for its two core businesses and with 
the launch of a new business channel that offers 
our Company transformational growth potential 
and underpins our goal of becoming the industry 
leader in digital solutions for consumer loyalty 
and engagement.

The new business, a B2B2C platform called 
Seamless Rewards, offers Card Linked Offer 
(CLO)-compatible Merchant content services 
that are provided via channel partners and 
Enterprise Loyalty program operators such as 
banks or other enterprises. By way of explanation, 
CLO offers are cashback offers that consumers 
automatically receive by transacting in-store or 
online after linking their debit or credit cards to a 
participating loyalty program.

The Seamless Rewards business, in time, will 
provide us with a more diversified revenue base 

and allow us to further leverage our leading 
loyalty and rewards content. 

At the same time, we have focussed on returning 
our two core businesses, Entertainment B2C and 
Frequent Values B2B, to profitability following 
the extremely challenging years of COVID-19. 
We are aiming to return the business back 
to a profitable path via the management of 
Membership renewals and reactivations, improved 
marketing campaigns and new payment options 
(i.e. Afterpay). 

Broadly, our strategy to deliver value and growth 
is as follows:

•  Frequent Values – Position it as the pre-

eminent ‘Show and Save’ Enterprise Loyalty 
program in Australia and NZ 

•  Entertainment – Deliver strong growth in 

revenues and Memberships through better 
management of renewals, reactivations and 
new Member acquisitions with improved 
marketing campaigns and product features

•  Seamless Rewards – Deliver the most reputed 

Card Linked Offer (CLO)-ready content 
services to all CLO-based Loyalty Programs

      ...with the launch of a new business channel that offers 
our Company transformational growth potential and 
underpins our goal of becoming the industry leader in 
digital solutions for consumer loyalty and engagement.

We aim to deliver these business growth priorities 
through a lean, digitally enabled operating model.

In December, Ani Chakraborty succeeded Henry 
Jones as IncentiaPay’s Chief Executive Officer 
and has made a seamless transition in the role. 
On behalf of the Board, I’d again like to thank 
Henry for his leadership of the Company through 
its transition from ‘The Entertainment Book’ to 
our current digital offering and establishing our 
growth strategy.

During the year, we initiated significant cost 
reductions aimed at delivering annualised cost 
savings of more than $4 million from the FY22 base 
(to be realised throughout FY23) and accelerate 
our path to operating cash break even. The cost 
reductions are in line with our ongoing investment 
in technology and strategy to drive growth in our 
Seamless Rewards platform and restore revenues in 
our core B2B and B2C businesses.

Our gross operating revenues in FY22 were 
$19.96 million; a 2.7% increase from the prior year.  

In December, IncentiaPay raised approximately 
$4.162 million via a 1 for 4.3 renounceable pro 
rata entitlement offer for new fully paid ordinary 
shares for eligible shareholders. The shortfall of the 
Entitlement Offer, being 45,817,543 Offer Shares 
(Placement Shares), were issued to third parties via 
a placement on the same terms as the Entitlement 
Offer, this resulted in a total raise of $5.2 million.

In addition, we continue to be strongly supported 
by our majority shareholder, Suzerain Investment 
Holdings Limited and its Associates, which has 
a 74% ownership interest in IncentiaPay and two 
representatives on our Board.

Over the past 36 months, Suzerain has injected 
$29 million in new equity capital into IncentiaPay 
to fund our business strategy.

In March, we agreed to a $22.5 million convertible 
loan facility, of which $5 million had already been 
made available, with Suzerain’s associate, New 
Gold Coast Holdings Limited and the facility 
was approved at an Extraordinary Meeting of 
Shareholders in May 2022. The loan demonstrates 
Suzerain’s alignment with IncentiaPay’s strategic 
vision and full commitment to the business 
strategy whilst also providing us with the  
financial certainty and flexibility required to 
expedite our transformation projects and execute 
our growth strategy. 

On behalf of the Board, I would like to 
acknowledge our CEO, Ani Chakraborty, our 
executive leadership team and all employees, 
Members and partners for their support and hard 
work through the past year.

I would also like to thank our shareholders and 
debt providers for their continued support of 
IncentiaPay, especially through a difficult few years.

Finally, I would like to thank my colleagues on the 
Board for their contributions and guidance.

CEO’s
Review

Dear Shareholders,

I am delighted to be presenting my first Annual 
Report as Chief Executive Officer of IncentiaPay.

•  Frequent Values: Position our B2B Frequent 

Values solution as the pre-eminent ‘Show and 
Save’ Enterprise Loyalty program in Australia 
and New Zealand 

Whilst the Company has endured a difficult few 
years, I am excited about the opportunities for 
our business and I am confident that our strategy 
will set us up for growth over the years ahead.

•  Seamless Rewards: Deliver the most reputed 

CLO-ready content services to all CLO-
based Loyalty Programs via our new B2B2C 
Seamless Rewards business

As the Chair alluded to, our business and growth 
strategic plan has four key pillars:

1.  Entertainment Digital Membership: Focus on 

growing our core B2C revenue.

2.  Frequent Values: Growing our active audience 
in our B2B Enterprise business, allowing us to 
drive effective engagement uplift campaigns

3.  Seamless Rewards: In time, build scale for 

our new transaction-linked Seamless Rewards 
Card Linked Offer (CLO)-based business

4.  Cost optimisation: Deliver business growth 

priorities through a lean, digitally enabled 
operating model

Our vision and ambitions are threefold:

•  Entertainment Digital Membership: Re-

position Entertainment as the pre-eminent 
fundraising solution for Fundraisers in 
Australia and New Zealand, improve our app 
and Member satisfaction, and launch our 
brand ‘live’ in the market 

Operational Review

Cost reductions to lower annual costs by more 
than $4 million 

During the year, we planned significant cost re-
ductions to accelerate our path to operating cash 
break-even and position the Company for long-
term growth, which culminated in a $4 million re-
duction as announced to marked on 25 July 2022.
IncentiaPay has invested heavily in technology 
platform capability to support its growing 
Seamless Rewards platform as well as its core 
B2B and B2C businesses. With these upgrades 
largely complete, the Company’s FTE and 
contractor requirements are lower due to:

1.  The reduction in work teams and associated 
expenses associated with the technology 
build; and

2.  The restructure of IncentiaPay’s operating 

model in some areas of the business.

8

 
 
 
B2C (Entertainment)

During the financial year, IncentiaPay remained 
focused on its strategic growth pillar of growing its 
core B2C business via the management of renewals 
and reactivations, improved marketing campaigns 
and new payment options (eg. Afterpay).

The B2C business showed an improvement, 
recording one of the largest days of Membership 
sales in FY22. Membership sales cash receipts are 
also increasing, with receipts in the June quarter 
of 4 times higher than in Q3.

IncentiaPay also completed the re-platforming 
of its B2C (Entertainment) App using the Google 
Flutter platform. The re-platforming gives the 
Company the ability to implement its product 
roadmap and improve features to meet Member 
expectations.

As at the end of the financial year, the Company 
had over 12,500 Merchant partner locations, 
making IncentiaPay a market leader in the sector.

B2B (Frequent Values) 

The re-platforming of the base framework for 
IncentiaPay’s B2B app was also completed during 
FY22 using Google Flutter. This has given the 
Company the ability to implement its product 
roadmap and improve its features to meet 
customer expectations.

The majority of IncentiaPay’s B2B customers will 
be migrated to the new app throughout FY23 
providing significantly improved user interface 
and improved functionality. 

Seamless Rewards 

During the year we launched a live-pilot of 
our B2B2C Seamless Rewards platform, with 
the platform already generating first revenues 
through two programs that are currently in 
market. IncentiaPay also executed several 
agreements with additional partners including 
Verrency, Opensparkz, PayWith and EML.

These agreements give IncentiaPay access to a 
large audience of end customers and provide us 
with the ability to distribute our suite of offers 
from our Seamless Rewards Merchants to the 
partners end customer bases.

IncentiaPay will receive transaction-linked 
revenue each time a card holder transacts and 
uses a linked card at an IncentiaPay Merchant.

IncentiaPay is also in advanced discussions with 
other key players in the Card Linked Offer space 
to increase its distribution capacity.

Senior leadership team changes 

During the financial year, there were some 
changes to our senior leadership team. Our 
Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Company 
Secretary, Ben Newling was appointed as the 
Company’s Chief Financial Officer effective from 1 
January 2022 and maintained his existing role as 
Company Secretary. 

The COO function was amalgamated into a Chief 
Technology and Operations Officer role to which 
Ryan Rodrigues was appointed in November.

Mr Rodrigues brings more than 25 years of 
product and technology delivery experience 
and will significantly strengthen IncentiaPay’s 
implementation capabilities.

On 21 June 2022, we also appointed Jake Falkinder 
as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) to assist with our 
efforts to grow our business offering.

Mr Falkinder brings 14 years’ experience in 
senior marketing positions to the role and joins 
from Boardriders, a leading action sports and 
lifestyle company, where he was the Digital 
Marketing Director.

In addition, we brought in senior professionals 
in key roles across the business. Some notable 
additions are:

•  Steve Chant has been brought in to lead our 

Merchant Partnerships with an aim to maintain 
our leading edge in the market. Mr Chant brings 
more than 25 years of business development 
and growth delivery experience, out of which 
more than 10 years in C-Suite roles in various 
growth businesses. 

•  Saikat Ghosh has been brought in to lead 
various strategic growth initiatives in the 
business. Mr Ghosh brings more than 25 years 
of business building experience and successfully 
founded 2 major start-up businesses. Mr Ghosh 
will bring a start-up mindset to our key growth 
projects

•  Louise Lee has been brought in to lead our 
People and Culture function. Ms Lee brings 
more than 18 years of Human Resources 
experience and successfully led her previous 
organisations through business transformations

CEO's Review

 
 
Financial Performance

FY22 revenues totalled $19.96 million, up 2.7% on 
the previous corresponding period, primarily due 
to an increase in gift card sales.

Underlying EBITDA1 totalled ($9.57 million), down 
298% on the previous corresponding period. This 
was primarily due to investments in setting the 
foundation for Seamless Rewards business and 
IncentiaPay’s technology re-platforming. 

Cash Position

Our core B2C and B2B businesses are starting 
to rebound post the COVID-19 impacted 
environment and we expect to see continued 
growth over the months ahead.

This is underpinned by our unparalleled Merchant 
base and our proven ability to deliver loyalty 
programs as a service. 

In closing, I’d like to thank our Member base, 
Fundraiser groups, Merchant partners and 
Enterprise clients for their continued support. 

As at 30 June 2022, cash reserves totalled $0.98 
million. In addition, the Company had an undrawn 
remaining cash facility available of $16.4 million.

I’d also like to thank you, our shareholders for 
your faith in the longer-term potential of this 
Company. 

Receipts from customers increased 7% to $20.87 
million, driven by a post COVID-19 recovery in 
Membership subscription revenue, particularly in 
May and June.

Outlook

Finally, a big thank you to the team at IncentiaPay 
for all their hard work and dedication.

IncentiaPay enters FY23 in a strong position  
with technology re-platforming in our core 
business largely complete and our new Seamless 
Rewards business.

Financial Review

Gross revenue for FY22 was $20.6 million, 
underlying EBITDA1 for FY22 was a loss of $9.6 
million, and negative operating cash flow was $12.2 
million. Net loss after tax (NLAT) from ordinary 
activities was $15.6 million. Australian revenue 
accounted for $18.9 million, or 91.5 per cent (FY21: 
$17.5 million, 90.2 per cent), while New Zealand 
revenue accounted for $1.8 million,  
or 8.5 per cent (FY21: $1.9 million, 9.8 per cent).

Gross Revenue  

Overall gross revenue for FY22 was $20.6 million 
compared to $19.4 million in FY21. This included 
$0.7 million, or 3.4 per cent from fee income and 
paid advertising (FY21: $0.7 million), $7.8 million, 
or 37.9 per cent from Membership sales (FY21: 
$8.2 million), $2.6 million, or 12.6 per cent from 
Enterprise client sales (FY21: $3.0 million) and $8.6 
million, or 41.7 per cent from gift card sales (FY21: 
$7.3 million). Government assistance provided 
during the financial year was $0.7 million (2021: 
$2.4 million) and consisted of a COVID-19 Business 
Grant of $0.1 million and NSW JobSaver payments 
of $0.6 million. JobSaver has been presented as 
an item of revenue during the 2022 financial year, 
compared to JobKeeper in prior years, which was 
presented as a reduction to employee expenses. 

Although operating revenue has increased 2.7 
per cent, this increase has been driven by the 
increase in gift card sales of 17.5 per cent, with key 
operating revenues still being impacted by both 
technology platform transformations associated 
with Enterprise and Corporate customers, and 
continuing effects of COVID-19. Business to 
Consumer (B2C) revenue, being the Entertainment 
Membership subscriptions, decreased 4.9 per 
cent because of extended restrictions, and border 
closures during the first half of the year; however, 
despite the continued challenges, showed signs of 
a recovery towards the end of 1H FY22 and during 
the last quarter. 

The increased sales trend experienced headwinds 
in the 3rd quarter due to the Omicron variant 
affecting the hospitality and leisure industry via 
supply chain constraints and availability of staff. 

The June quarter of FY22 saw four times the level 
of Membership Sales than the March Quarter, 
which points to the success of a renewal program 
of incentives and promotions revolving around 
reminding customers of the benefits of the 
Membership, which will extend into FY23 with the 
Group launching a significant brand and advertising 
campaign in the first half of FY23. 

The Enterprise business invested heavily in the 
re-platforming of Frequent Values customers and 
relaunched multiple new customised apps and 
white-label apps during the second half of FY22. 
This was an extensive re-platforming program with 
the aim of positioning the corporate product on a 
solid foundation for the future. Delays in corporate 
renewals during FY22 due to this program of work 
is what drove the lower revenue in FY22. Given this, 
the business achieved their goal of minimising the 
impact. 

Gift card sales increased 17.5 per cent due to the re-
opening of the retail industry, the surge in spending 
post the easing of restrictions, and the introduction 
of a range of new gift card options such as 
Sheridan, Harvey Norman, and Kathmandu. 

Fee income saw a 14 per cent increase year-
on-year predominantly due to paid advertising 
and the re-engagement of the travel industry. A 
major focus into FY23 will be to capitalise on the 
return of the travel industry back to pre-COVID-19 
volumes, but more importantly to target new areas 
of marketing opportunities and affiliation.

Net loss after tax and impairments 

Restructuring costs 

Reported net loss after tax (NLAT) from ordinary 
activities in FY22 was $15.6 million compared to a 
net loss after tax from ordinary activities in FY21 
of $8.4 million. The net loss was predominantly 
attributed to:
•  The Government assistance changes between 

As part of the Company’s focus on achieving 
operating cash break-even, a significant cost 
rationalisation program was launched at the end 
of FY22, impacting both payroll and project-based 
contracting staff – aimed at delivering annualised 
cost savings of more than $4 million. 

FY21 and FY22 with JobKeeper being replaced 
by the NSW backed JobSaver program, 
resulting in less support. 

•  Continued investment in core business 

technology platforms.

•  Re-platforming of the Entertainment App 

to the Google based Flutter technology for 
a better user experience and flexible open-
source technology stack.

• 

Investment in the re-platforming and migration 
of most of the Group’s B2C Frequent Values 
customers to the more flexible Google Flutter 
technology for improved functionality and 
better customer user experience. 

•  Development associated with the Seamless 
Rewards platform, that provides tailored, 
entertainment-based incentives and loyalty 
and rewards programs to large enterprise 
customers via a card linked offer (CLO) or card 
scheme and an existing loyalty program. 

•  Development and set up of The Wine Bunch, 
an online marketplace in partnership with 
Junovate and Spineka. 

Discontinued operations 

During the financial year the Group did not divest 
or discontinue any operations.

Debt management  

During the second half of FY22, IncentiaPay 
secured an additional funding facility with New 
Gold Coast Holdings Limited (NGCH), an associate 
of IncentiaPay’s majority shareholder, Suzerain 
Investments Holdings Limited. This commitment 
was governed via a convertible loan deed with 
NGCH. Additional detail covering this facility 
is included in the notes to the annual financial 
statements. 

The extended funding facility was secured after 
an extensive capital management review and is 
focused on:
•  Expediting technology investment and 

Merchant content acquisition resourcing in 
IncentiaPay’s new B2B2C Seamless Rewards 
business unit;

•  External strategic support during the first 

•  Growing revenues in the existing B2C 

half of FY22 to guide, manage and drive key 
transformation initiatives. 

• 

Impairment write-offs associated with the 
re-platforming of the previously developed 
Entertainment app and the Entertainment 
website, as well as Goodwill. 

•  Restructure and re-alignment costs associated 
with cost reduction and future sustainability 
strategies. 

The cost-based strategies described above are 
focused towards:
•  Delivering a solid foundation for B2B and B2C 

product technology platforms

•  Operationalising and embedding the CLO-

based loyalty programs via B2B2C Seamless 
Rewards business. 

•  Forging a path to operating cash break-even 
and positioning the Company for long-term 
growth and sustainability. 

(Entertainment) and B2B (Frequent 
Values) business units through technology 
enhancements, new marketing initiatives and 
increased Merchant content acquisition; and
•  Enhancing IncentiaPay’s capability to support 

its valued Not-for-Profit partners in meeting 
their fundraising objectives. 

The facility, which was approved by shareholders at 
an Extraordinary General Meeting on 23 May 2022, 
provides the Group with $22.5 million, of which 
$17.5 million is new funding, and is secured over the 
Group’s present and future assets. 

Dividends  

No dividend has been declared in relation to the 
FY22 results. The Board of Directors of IncentiaPay 
do not expect to declare any dividends in FY23.

Business Risks

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.

19

Business Risks

Business Risks

RISK

NATURE OF RISK

There is no certainty that IncentiaPay will remain sufficiently funded. 
IncentiaPay recently secured a $22.5 million convertible loan from New 
Gold Coast Holdings Limited, an Associate of its largest shareholder 
Suzerain Investments Holdings Ltd (Suzerain) to provide it with 
sufficient working and growth capital for the short to medium term.

Funding

Macro-economic
uncertainty
due to COVID-19

Success of Investment

Personnel

IncentiaPay continually manages its cash position and regularly 
monitors its investments to balance the risk, outlay, and timings.

Throughout FY21 and FY22, the Company saw operating cash inflows 
decline due to the wide-ranging impacts of the global pandemic 
particularly in the dining and entertainment verticals due to extended 
lockdowns and the re-emergence of the Omicron variant. 

The Board and Management have implemented a cost 
rationalisation strategy and remain vigilant should macro-economic 
conditions change.

Management have invested in an above the line marketing 
campaign for our Entertainment Membership business ‘tap for fun’. 
IncentiaPay’s success in part is predicated on our ability to generate 
new customers and cash inflows from marketing activity.

Management and the Board reviews the results of all of our 
investments regularly which forms the basis of future investment 
decisions.

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 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.

20

RISK

NATURE OF RISK

Technology

Regulatory

Reputation

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.

IncentiaPay has insourced management of the development 
function and infrastructure of all of its core technology 
platforms. This gives greater flexibility to control its technology 
delivery roadmap and directly manage the outage risk.

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.

21

Business Risks

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.

Competition

To mitigate this, IncentiaPay invests in its Merchant content 
and consumer brands. This ongoing investment assists with 
providing us with a competitive advantage.

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 sees the unique value of its intellectual property, 
in the content of its Entertainment and Frequent Values 
platforms, as a mitigant to this risk.

Dividends paid or declared 

No dividends were paid or declared for payment 
during the financial year. Investors should note that 
the Board of Directors of IncentiaPay Ltd do not 
expect to declare dividends from the Company 
during the next financial year.  

Indemnifying directors and officers 

The Company has entered into a Deed of 
Access and Indemnity in favour of each Director 
and Officer of the Company. The indemnity 
operates so that officers are indemnified on a full 
indemnity basis and to the full extent permitted 
by law against liabilities and losses incurred as an 
officer of the Company.

During or since the end of the financial year, 
the Company has paid premiums to insure the 
Directors and officers against liabilities for costs 
and expenses incurred by them in defending legal 
proceedings arising from their conduct while 
acting in the capacity of Directors or officers of 
the Company, other than conduct involving a 
wilful breach of duty in relation to the Company. 

The Board of Directors, pursuant to advice from 
the Audit and Risk Committee, is satisfied that 
the provision of non-audit services during the 
year is compatible with the general standard 
of independence for auditors imposed by 
the Corporations Act 2001. The Directors are 
satisfied that the services disclosed below did not 
compromise the external auditor’s independence 
for the following reasons:  
•  All non-audit services are reviewed and 

approved by the Audit and Risk Committee 
prior to commencement to ensure they do not 
adversely affect the integrity and objectivity of 
the auditor; and  

•  The nature of the services provided does not 
compromise the general principles relating 
to auditor independence in accordance with 
APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional 
Accountants set by the Accounting 
Professional and Ethical Standards Board.  

The following fees were paid or payable to KPMG 
for non-audit services provided during the year

in the financial statements and Directors’ report 
have been rounded to the nearest thousand 
dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest dollar.

Matters arising after the end of financial year

The Company announced on 25 July 2022 a 
significant cost reduction, with more than  
$4 million of annualised cost being removed from 
the Company throughout the FY23 financial year.

Environmental regulation

The Group is not subject to any significant 
environmental regulation under a law of the 
Commonwealth or of a State or Territory.

Options1

There were no options over ordinary shares 
granted to or vested by directors or other key 
management personnel as part of compensation 
during the year ended 30 June 2022. There were 
no ordinary shares of the Group issued on the 
exercise of options during the year ended 30 June 
2022 and up to the date of this report. 

Loan funded share plan

As at 30 June 2022, there were 11,585,043 
shares issued to Ben Newling as part of Loan 
Funded Share (LFS) arrangement approved 
by shareholders at the AGM in December 
2020. Separately, there were 22,199,567 shares 
previously issued to former CEO, Henry Jones, 
forfeited under a modified arrangement and 
held in trust, with an agreement to repatriate the 
shares to the company.

The terms of the current LFS arrangement can be 
summarised as follows: 

1. 

2. 

IncentiaPay provides its key executives, 
(‘the executive’) with a loan to purchase 
an agreed number of IncentiaPay shares 
at an issue price based on the 5-day 
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) 
immediately before issue date; 

If there is an outstanding amount owing 
under the Loan, all dividends declared 
and paid with respect to the shares (after 
deduction for tax payable in relation to those 
dividends) shall be applied to repaying the 
Loan, therefore the executives shall have no 
right to receive those dividends;

3.  The loan provided is interest free and limited 
recourse, such that the executive has the 
option to either repay the loan or return the 
shares at the loan repayment date, being 30 
business days after the last vesting date; 

4.  Vesting conditions apply to each executive’s 

shares, being related to time, meeting 
budgeted targets, share price hurdles, and 
the conversion of existing loans into shares, 
and are outlined in the table in section 10 of 
the Remuneration Report; 

5.  Vesting of each tranche is subject to the 

continued employment of the executive up 
to the relevant date on which the vesting 
conditions are tested.

6.  The Board will retain a broad discretion to 

determine or vary any vesting conditions 
if they consider that the commercial 
performance and circumstances of the 
Company justify that variation or waiver. 

7.  Any unvested loan funded shares that do not 

meet their vesting conditions (after rollover, 
if applicable) will cease to become eligible to 
become vested loan funded shares and will 
be cancelled, bought-back or transferred to a 
third party nominated by the Board on terms 
determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

8.  Prior to the shares becoming unencumbered, 
the executive is required to repay the loan. 

1. 

In the interests of removing any doubt, no options have been issued by the company at any time. Any reference to options in the 
remuneration report and annual financial statements applies to the Loan Funded Share plan that has been accounted for as options due to 
the nature of the rules and conditions of the scheme.

2. Remuneration policy 

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.

terms of the arrangement). For the 2022 financial 
year, the shares would vest where the share price 
is greater than $0.10 (tested in September 2022). 
For the 2023 financial year, vesting will occur 
where the share price is greater $0.15 (tested 
in September 2023). Shareholder approval was 
granted at the AGM held on 16 December 2020. 
Henry Jones, the previous CEO, was granted a 
modified allocation of shares upon his departure 
with most of the shares forfeited, see section 10 
for more detail. 

The Board approved a Loan Funded Share Scheme 
(LFS) for the previous CEO, Henry Jones and current 
CFO, Ben Newling on 23 July 2020, and an Employee 
Share Scheme (ESS) for other senior executives. 

The Board and shareholder approved LFS Scheme 
is a three-year long-term incentive plan, which will 
vest over a three-year period ending 31 October 
2023. Vesting conditions relate to achieving the 
FY21 Board approved budget (which was not met, 
resulting in these shares being rolled under the 

The Board and shareholder approved an ESS 
for senior management and executive directors, 
which will result in shares being issued into a trust 
controlled by the Company. The maximum number 
of performance rights to be issued under the 
plan is 7,500,000. These shares will be issued in 4 
tranches and will be subject to the same vesting 
hurdles as those applicable to tranches 2 – 5 under 
the LFS scheme and detailed under section 10 
of this report.  No shares were issued under this 
scheme during the financial year.

30

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.

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

Fixed compensation

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 because of 
market rate changes for the Company to remain 
competitive, or to reflect any changes in the level of 
responsibility in the event the role has expanded.

3. Remuneration Committee and  
executive compensation 

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 Committee is 
chaired by Dr Charles Romito.

4. Remuneration objectives and principles 

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. Remuneration framework

The Executive Remuneration Framework is 
characterised by Fixed Remuneration (base salary, 
superannuation plus other fixed benefits) and 
Variable/Performance Related Remuneration 

Performance related compensation 

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 
and goals. 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 arrangements in which 
executives are incentivised with KPI’s and targets 
as set out in their contracts, are board approved 
and do not constitute a formal scheme.  Targets 
and KPI’s can change each year depending 
on business priorities and are determined to 
increase business performance. Final payment 
amounts are subject to individual, divisional and 
group measurement metrics, and are reviewed 
and approved by the Board. Given the impact of 
COVID-19 on business performance, the Board has 
determined that no STIs will be paid to KMP for 
the financial year ended 30 June 2022 (2021: nil).  

Long-term incentives (LTI)

LTI’s are linked to the achievement of operational 
targets, and share price performance, and 
are provided to certain KMP as part of their 
remuneration package, at the discretion of the 
Board. Shareholders, at the AGM in December 2020, 
approved an Employee Incentive Share Scheme and 
a Loan Funded Share Plan, both of which include 
vesting arrangements on the achievement of the

Board approved 2021 budget and share price hurdles and conversion of current loans into shares. 
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’ objectives. 

During the financial year no shares were issued under the Employee Incentive Share Scheme and 
Ben Newling and Henry Jones were beneficiaries of the Loan Funded Share Plan in the prior year. 
The number of rights issued to each participant were 100% discretionary and based on commercial 
arrangements and negotiations. Shares under this scheme were either forfeited or awarded to Henry 
Jones as compensation upon his departure on 24 December 2021, details related to both executives are 
included under section 10 of this report.

10. Share based compensation 

As of 30 June 2022 there were 11,585,043 (2021: 38,771,277) options issued to key management per-
sonnel as part of Loan Funded Share (LFS) arrangement approved by shareholders at the AGM in 
December 2020. 

The terms of the current LFS arrangement, which only apply to Ben Newling, as Henry Jones’s 
allocation was modified upon his termination, can be summarised as follows: 

1. 

2. 

IncentiaPay provides its key executives, (‘the executive’) with a loan to purchase an agreed 
number of IncentiaPay shares at an issue price based on the 5-day Volume Weighted Average 
Price (VWAP) immediately before issue date; 

If there is an outstanding amount owing under the Loan, all dividends declared and paid with 
respect to the shares (after deduction for tax payable in relation to those dividends) shall be 
applied to repaying the Loan, therefore the executives shall have no right to receive those 
dividends;

3.  The loan provided is interest free and limited recourse, such that the executive has the option 

to either repay the loan or return the shares at the loan repayment date, being 30 business days 
after the last vesting date; 

4.  Vesting conditions apply to each executive’s shares, being related to time, meeting budgeted 

targets, share price hurdles, and the conversion of existing loans into shares, and are outlined in 
table below; 

5.  Vesting of each tranche is subject to the continued employment of the executive up to the 

relevant date on which the vesting conditions are tested;

6.  The Board will retain a broad discretion to determine or vary any vesting conditions if they 
consider that the commercial performance and circumstances of the Company justify that 
variation or waiver; 

7.  Any unvested loan funded shares that do not meet their vesting conditions (after rollover, 
if applicable) will cease to become eligible to become vested loan funded shares and will 
be cancelled, bought-back or transferred to a third party nominated by the Board on terms 
determined by the Board in its sole discretion; and

8.  Prior to the shares becoming unencumbered, the executive is required to repay the loan.

1. 

Henry Jones forfeited Tranche 1 share allocation that had already vested at the time of his termination, amounting to 3,573,220 shares. 
Tranche 2 share allocation of 4,986,667 shares, was transferred and formally issued under the provisions of a modified allocation agreement, 
approved by the Board. The remaining shares, being tranches 3, 4 and the remaining shares in Tranche 5 amounting to 18,626,347 shares, 
were cancelled.

2.  No additional share options have vested during the period ending 30 June 2022. Tranche 2 share allocation amounting to 2,125,000 shares 
rolled into Tranche 3 due to the budget for 2021 not being achieved (as specified in the terms of the loan funded shares). The expiration of 
Tranche 2 is dependent on the achievement of the price hurdle for Tranche 3, which will be measured at the end of September 2022. 

3. 

These options held as of 30 June 2022, they have vested and are exercisable on 31 October 2023.

Incentiapay Ltd and Controlled EntitiesNotes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2022Note 1 | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation 

These general-purpose financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 have been prepared in 
accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations of the 
Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by 
the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS). Consequently, this financial report is compliant 
with IFRS. IncentiaPay Limited is a listed public Company incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The 
Company is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. 
Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented 
below and have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise.

Except for cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and 
are based on historical costs, modified where applicable by the measurement at fair value of selected 
non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

These audited consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue on 30 September 2022. 

Going concern

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 continued with its updates and enhancements associated with its technology 
platforms with efforts focused on the implementation of the open source Google owned Flutter 
framework, for both the Entertainment app and Frequent Value Enterprise customised apps. Multiple 
corporate Enterprise customers have now been transitioned to white-labelled versions of the app and 
for some of the larger customers, fully customised versions have been released. In addition, the Group 
has developed the first new B2B2C platform called Seamless Rewards, that offers Card Linked Offer 
(CLO)-compatible Merchant content services provided via channel partners and Loyalty program 
operators. At the same time the Group has focused on returning our core Entertainment B2C and 
Frequent Values B2B businesses to profitability through the management of renewals and reactivations, 
improved and targeted marketing campaigns and enhancements such as new payment options. 

On 30 June 2022 the Group had cash on hand of $1.0 million, net liabilities of $1.3 million and a net 
current asset deficiency of $7.6 million. During the year ended 30 June 2022, the Group incurred a 
net loss before tax from continuing operations of $15.6 million and incurred net cash outflows from 
operating activities of $12.2 million.

The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the period from 1 July 2022 to 30 September 2023 
that support the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. Most notable aspects of the cash 
flow forecasts include:

•  Deliver the most reputed Card Linked Offer (CLO) ready content services to CLO-based 

Loyalty Programs with contribution to profit being delivered in the second half of FY23 through 
agreements with Verrency, PayWith and EML. 

•  Targeted management of reactivations and renewals using enhanced capability made possible 

using an industry leading marketing analytics platform. 

•  Re-position Entertainment as the pre-eminent fundraising solution for Fundraisers in Australia and 

New Zealand and address Member satisfaction app ratings. 

47

Financial Statements

Incentiapay Ltd and Controlled EntitiesNotes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2022 
•  Partnering with M&C Saatchi on our first B2C advertising and marketing campaign, with an 
investment in an above the line marketing acquisition strategy, which together with the re-
activations and renewals programs is anticipated to result in an uplift in sales. 

•  With the migration of all B2B Enterprise customers to our Flutter backed app, there will be a push 

to increase our audience base with a focus on new corporate partners. 

•  Delivery of significant cost reductions covering both payroll resources and project-based 
contracting staff aimed at delivering annualised cost savings of more than $4 million.

•  Transitioning from platform development and build phase to a phase that is characterised by 

ongoing maintenance and feature enhancements. 

•  Expenditure associated with Entertainment Membership distribution will be managed through 
alternative cost-effective models utilising affiliate marketing partners, as well as aligning 
fundraiser commission to the source and nature of the of the transaction and acknowledging the 
role of the updated marketing strategy and the efforts of fundraisers.

• 

Inflationary pressures associated with the Group’s expenditure will be largely experienced around 
resourcing which will be managed through the discretionary nature of increases where possible. 
The expenditure profile associated with the business model is predominantly discretionary and 
can be flexed as required. Inflation has been assumed to be 3% over the near and medium terms. 

•  The ability of the Group to enter flexible repayment terms related to the debt facilities with 

Suzerain and its related entities, see note 16 for additional information. 

The funding of ongoing operations of the Group is dependent upon the Group continuing to access the 
Suzerain and related parties financing facilities, the success of the revenue growth strategies, the success 
of the CLO business venture and/or the Group reducing expenditure in-line with existing strategies and 
current cash and funding resources. As of 30 June 2022, the Group had undrawn financing facilities from 
Suzerain and related parties totalling $16.4 million. See note 16 for further information. This undrawn 
amount has reduced to $12.9 million at the date of the approval of this annual financial report. 

The Directors have reasonable grounds to believe that the ongoing financial support of Suzerain and its 
related entities is likely to continue and therefore, the going concern basis on which the financial report has 
been prepared is appropriate. However, should the Group not meet its cash flow forecasts, the achievement 
of which is inherently uncertain and highly sensitive to assumptions made in respect of revenue 
performance, including not obtaining further financing from Suzerain and its related entities as required, 
there is a material uncertainty as to whether the Group will be able to continue as a going concern.

In the event the Group is unable to continue as a going concern, the Group may be required to realise 
assets at an amount different to that recorded in the statement of financial position, settle liabilities 
other than in the ordinary course of business and make provision for other costs which may arise. 

(a) 

Principles of consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent 
IncentiaPay Limited and all of its subsidiaries (also referred to as “the Group”). Subsidiaries are entities the 
parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its 
involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. 

The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of 
the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is 
discontinued from the date that control ceases. Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains 
or losses on transactions between group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. 

Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure uniformity of the 
accounting policies adopted by the Group.

Incentiapay Ltd and Controlled EntitiesNotes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2022 
(b) 

Foreign currency transactions and balances

Functional and presentation currency 
The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary 
economic environment in which that entity operates. The preliminary consolidated financial statements 
are presented in Australian dollars, which is the parent entity’s functional currency.

Transactions and balances 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates 
prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-
end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the 
exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at 
the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, 
except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in 
other comprehensive income to the extent that the underlying gain or loss is recognised in other 
comprehensive income. Otherwise, the exchange difference is recognised in profit or loss.

Group companies 
The financial results and position of foreign operations, whose functional currency is different from the 
Group’s presentation currency, are translated as follows:

•  Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; 
• 
•  Retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. 

Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations with functional currencies other than 
Australian dollars are recognised in other comprehensive income and included in the foreign currency 
translation reserve in the Statement of Financial Position. The cumulative amount of these differences is 
reclassified into profit or loss in the period in which the Group disposes of the operation. 

(c) 

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of 
GST incurred is not recoverable from the relevant taxation authority. 

Receivables and payables are stated exclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net 
amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the relevant taxation authority is included with other 
receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing 
or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the relevant taxation authority are 
presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers. 

(d)  Comparative figures 

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to 
changes in presentation for the current financial period.

49

Financial Statements

Incentiapay Ltd and Controlled EntitiesNotes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2022 
Where the Group retrospectively applies an accounting policy, makes a retrospective restatement or 
reclassifies items in its financial statements, an additional (third) Statement of Financial Position as at 
the beginning of the preceding period in addition to the minimum comparative financial statements  
is presented. 

(e) 

Rounding of amounts

The parent entity has applied the relief available to it under ASIC Instrument 2016 / 191. Accordingly, 
amounts in the preliminary consolidated financial statements and Directors’ report have been rounded 
off to the nearest $1,000. 

(f) 

New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory 
for 30 June 2022 reporting period and have not been early adopted 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. 

(g)  Critical acccounting estimates and judgements

The Directors’ estimates and judgments are incorporated into the financial statements and are based 
on historical knowledge and the best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable 
expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both 
externally and from within the Group. 

(h) 

Economic outlook impacts on the Group’s estimates and judgements 

Given the recent Entertainment sales trends and economic variables such as cost of living, inflation and 
interest rates, the Group has considered the potential impacts on carrying values of assets and liabilities 
and potential liabilities. Other than adjusting events that provide evidence of conditions that existed 
at the end of the reporting period, the impact of events that arise after the reporting period will be 
accounted for in future reporting periods. 

Processes applied 
As a consequence of the Group’s trend in reported revenue and recent changes to key economic 
variables, management have considered and/or performed the following: 

•  Re-evaluated whether there were any additional areas of judgement or estimation uncertainty 

beyond what has been disclosed above in the going concern assumption.

•  Updated its economic outlook – principally for the input into the impairment analysis of financial 

and non-financial asset classes and disclosures. 

•  Reviewed external market communications to identify other economic related impacts. 

•  Reviewed public forecasts and experience from previous downturns. 

•  Considered the impact of recent economic variables on the Group’s financial statement disclosures. 

•  Engaged a key Marketing partner in developing and assessing the likely success and impact of an 

above line advertising campaign. 

5050

Incentiapay Ltd and Controlled EntitiesNotes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2022•  Reviewed industry-based forecasts and commentary related to the hospitality, travel and leisure 

industries as to the likely increase and growth in travel and hospitality sectors over the next 3 to 5 years. 

•  Considered the view that given the increase in inflation the Entertainment Membership is 

designed to provide the ability for consumers to utilise hospitality dining venues with discounts 
and value options during this time.  

Key judgements 
Revenue recognition 
The Group recognises revenue over time, using a method that reflects the manner in which its 
obligations are fulfilled. See note 2.

Lease term 
The Group assesses whether it is reasonably certain that an extension option or hold over period will be 
exercised. 

Number of CGU’s 
Indefinite and finite life intangible assets are tested at a cash generating unit (CGU) level, which is 
the smallest level that generates cash inflows that are largely independent from other cash inflows of 
other assets of the Group. In this case, the CGU’s of the Group are considered to be the Entertainment 
Business and the new Credit Linked Offer (CLO) business. This determination of CGU’s represents a 
change from prior periods where there was one CGU assessed for the Group. This change was made 
through a re-assessment of the separation of core operating assets and revenues test under accounting 
standards. Due to events and circumstances that have arisen during the financial year, there is a core 
change to separation of the Entertainment and Frequent Value’s customer and Merchant databases, 
technology platforms and revenue contracting with respect to the new CLO business. This has resulted 
in management assessing the new CLO business to be in a separate CGU. 

Goodwill and indefinite life brands are allocated to CGU’s, or groups of CGU’s, expected to benefit 
from synergies arising from the acquisition giving rise to the goodwill and brands. Management have 
assessed that the goodwill ($10 million) and brands ($3 million) of the Group are fully allocated to the 
Entertainment Business CGU. 

Key estimates 
Measurement of ECL allowance for trade receivables and contract assets 
ECLs are measured at an unbiased, probability-weighted amount, using reasonable and supportable 
information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date. Refer to note 8.

Deferred tax assets “DTA” 
Availability of future taxable profit against which deductible temporary differences and tax losses 
carried forward can be utilised. Refer to note 4.

Goodwill and other intangibles  
The Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period for each CGU by evaluating 
conditions and events specific to the Group that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable 
amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using the higher of fair value less costs of disposal or value-
in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions.

Management have undertaken their assessment on the recoverable amount of each CGU which has 
resulted in impairment of goodwill amounting to $2.4 million. This impairment pertains to goodwill 
within the Entertainment Business CGU. 

Further details on the key estimates used in the impairment evaluation in respect of goodwill or other 
intangibles for the year ended 30 June 2022 can be found in note 13.

Financial Statements

Incentiapay Ltd and Controlled EntitiesNotes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2022 
Software under development and available for use 
Costs relating to Technology Transformation “TTPs” and Card Linked Offer “CLO” Projects were 
capitalised during the year ($0.8 million), and “ready to use” TTPs ($0.6 million) were allocated to 
Technology & Software when they were in a condition for use as per the expectations of management. 

Management reviewed existing TTPs and impaired certain assets which became redundant due to group 
investing in and developing newer technology. This resulted in impairment amounting to $1.2 million.

Ready to use TTP assets were amortised in accordance with the Company accounting policies and 
resulted in an amortisation charge of $0.7 million for the year. 

The Card Linked Offer platform is accounted for as Work in Progress at 30 June 2022 as a result 
of development work and significant pilot testing continuing to be undertaken until approximately 
September 2023.

Further details on software under development and available for use can be found in note 13.

Note 2 | Revenue

Accounting policy

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. 

The Entertainment Membership is a digital product 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 applicable period of the Membership type. 

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 following table provides information about the nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance 
obligations in contracts with customers, including significant payment terms, and the related revenue 
recognition policies.

5252

Incentiapay Ltd and Controlled EntitiesNotes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2022 
 
 
Type of services

Nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and revenue recognition policies

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 
at point in time 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 receivable for bookings are recognised at point 
in time 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 through which the Group acts as 
an agent on behalf of the hotels, airlines and car rental companies.

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 when revenue is recognised over time. 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. Gift with purchase 
promotion is treated as a reduction in revenue over the life of the 
subscription.

Enterprise 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 over the period of time 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 to Members is recognised at a point in 
time when the gift card is provided to the customer, and it is paid for. The 
Group is a principal in these transactions as it purchased the gift cards and 
obtains full control of them before selling them to Members. 

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

53

Financial Statements

Incentiapay Ltd and Controlled EntitiesNotes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2022Revenue from government grants  
Revenue from government grants is recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will 
comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received. 

In the current reporting period, Government assistance relates to JobSaver payments received during 
the first half of the year, in addition to an amount relating to COVID-19 business grants. The comparative 
amount relates to Cash flow assistance boost.

Direct expenses of providing services

Direct expenses are predominantly made up of sales commission paid to fundraiser partners and gift 
card expenses. 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.

Gift cards expenses represents the cost of gift cards sold to Members. Some gift cards are held as inventory 
first, prior to being sold, and others are acquired from third parties at the time of the transaction. Unsold gift 
cards at 30 June 2022 are classified as inventory and carried on the balance sheet. 

Bad debts written off 

Movement in expected credit losses relates to the loss allowance adjustment to update the expected 
credit loss allowance at year end. See note 8 for details. 

Employee expenses

The increase in employee expenses is predominantly due to:

•  Termination entitlements paid to various departing employees including the former CEO in the 

first half of the year. 

• 

Increased spend on project-based contracting staff to accelerate the development of the group’s 
core business technology platforms. 

•  Restructure costs at year end as part of the group’s focus on returning to operating cash break-even.

•  Employee expenses in the prior year include all costs associated with human resources and were 
offset by JobKeeper payments earned of $2.3 million as part of the COVID-19 government  
assistance package. 

•  The voluntary reduction in salaries from all staff between 10% and 40% was also not a feature 
in this reporting period, whereas in the corresponding period that helped reduce our employee 
expenses further.  

Impairment of intangible assets

See note 13. 

Depreciation and amortisation expense 

Depreciation of Plant & equipment relates to leasehold improvements and office equipment. 
Amortisation of intangibles relates to software assets. Amortisation of right-of-use assets relates to 
offices and office equipment assets recognised in accordance with AASB 16.

The reduced depreciation expense in FY22 for Plant & Equipment can be ascribed to our office leases 
for Entertainment Publications ending in July 2021 and as such all leasehold improvements have been 
fully depreciated at 31 July 2021.

The reduced amortisation expense in FY22 for Intangibles is a direct result of “legacy” capitalised web 
development being fully amortised in FY21 and therefor seeing reduced amortisation in FY22.

5656

Incentiapay Ltd and Controlled EntitiesNotes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2022 
 
 
 
The reduced depreciation expense in FY22 for Right of use assets is because of our office leases for 
Entertainment Publications ending in July 2021 and the derecognition of the Harrington Street office in 
June 2021 which ultimately resulted in less depreciation.  

Building occupancy expense 

Building and occupancy expenses represent variable lease payments related to leases that have not 
been incorporated into the measurement of lease liabilities. 

Finance costs on borrowings 

The increase in finance costs on borrowings is because of additional interest & admin fees on the new & 
increased New Gold Coast Holdings Limited loan facility. 

Note 4 | Income tax

Accounting policy 
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 do not believe that sufficient 
taxable profit will be available in the short term to utilise the carry forward tax losses.

Financial Statements

Incentiapay Ltd and Controlled EntitiesNotes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2022 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Group has considered the following factors:

•  There is a history of tax losses being incurred over the past few years.

•  Management is forecasting further taxable losses again for FY23. 

•  Whilst  assessable  income  is  forecast  from  FY24  onwards,  it  is  not  sufficiently  large  enough  to 
generate taxable income that will fully utilise the carry forward tax losses (Per 30 June 2021 Income 
Tax Return, $51,428,701) in the near term. 

•  The  accounting  standard  requirement  is  for  there  to  be  convincing  evidence  to  support  the 

recognition of deferred tax assets where the entity incurs losses. 

Accordingly, the Group has not recognised a deferred tax asset at 30 June 2022. 

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.

No tax losses were recognised for the financial year. This income tax benefit arising from tax losses will 
only be realised if: 

• 

• 

the Group derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the 
Group to benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realised;

the Group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation; and

•  no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the benefit from the deductions 

for the losses.

c) Deferred tax

The movement analysis for deferred tax assets and liabilities has not been presented due to the 
derecognition of deferred tax balances resulting in no current or comparative amounts on the 
Statement of Financial Position. 

The Group has estimated unutilised tax losses of $57.4 million. Additionally there are other deductible 
temporary differences resulting in a net potential deferred tax asset position for the Group of approximately 
$1.5 million, calculated using the prevailing rate of Australia corporation tax of 30% for the Group. 

After considering the above, the Group previously determined that these deferred tax assets will no 
longer be recognised as it is uncertain whether future taxable profits in the foreseeable future will be 
sufficient to utilise the losses. The Group is moving into a recovery phase related to its B2C business 
and launching its Client Linked Offers (CLO) business. In addition the Group restructured in July 2022 
in accordance with the capital management plan and cost reduction strategy to return the Company 
to cash break even. Current projections indicate a return to profitability however given the levels of 
uncertainty with respect to economic recovery, it is not sufficiently convincing for the purposes of 
recognition of these tax losses.

Accounting policy 

Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services 
performed in the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months 
of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as 
non-current assets. 

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value, less any provision for loss allowance.

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 lifetime expected credit losses is recognised. Minimal risk is expected in respect of 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 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. As a result of recent economic 
variables such as inflation and interest rates, the Group reviewed the expected credit loss allowance and 
determined that the adjusted loss rate for trade debtors past due over 90 days should be 100%.

On that basis, the expected credit loss allowance as at 30 June 2022 was determined as follows for 
trade receivables:

Credit risk 

The Group has a sublease rent receivable of $0.5 million for the Sydney office. The sub lessee has 
provided a bank guarantee of $0.2 million as a security. Apart from the sublease rent receivable, 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.

The Group leases offices and equipment. The majority have expired in financial year 2022 except for the 
Harrington Street office, which is currently subleased for the reminder of the lease term, which ends in 
financial year 2024. 

Right-of-use assets relate to leased property that do not meet the definition of investment property 
and are classified 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 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. An extension 
option (or periods after termination options) is 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 
option to renew, as such, an extension option is not included in the calculation. The Group has elected 
not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value and short-term leases, 
including certain land and building leases. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with 
these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-
lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset 
arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term 
lease to which the Group applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an 
operating lease.

Depreciation of right-of-use assets 

The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s life and the lease term on a straight-
line basis.

During the previous financial year, the Group subleased the office space for Harrington Street for the 
remaining term of the lease. There were no other factors suggesting that Incentiapay Limited has 
retained significant risks and rewards associated with the term of the office space for the remaining 
term of the lease. As a result, the Group has derecognised the whole of the right-of-use asset relating 
to the remaining period, recognised the present value of the lease payments as lease receivable under 
the sub-lease (See note 8) and the difference was recognised in the profit and loss. The Group received 
$17,322 interest income relating to subleasing during the reporting period ending 30 June 2022. 
(2021:$334)

As the Group is still responsible for all of the lease payments relating to the head lease, the lease 
liability is still recognised in lease liabilities in note 15.

The following table sets out a maturity analysis of lease receivables, showing the undiscounted lease 
payments to be received after the reporting date.

Note 12 | Property, plant and equipment

Accounting policy

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 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. 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.

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.

Incentiapay Ltd and Controlled EntitiesNotes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2022 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Depreciation of plant and equipment 

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings, 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

Plant and equipment

2-4 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.

Note 13 | Intangible assets

Accounting policy 

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, web development 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. 

Amounts capitalised as part of internally-developed intellectual property include the total cost of any 
external services and labour costs directly attributable to development. Management judgement is 
involved in determining the appropriate internal costs to capitalise and the amounts involved. Research 
costs are expensed as incurred.

73

Financial Statements

Incentiapay Ltd and Controlled EntitiesNotes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2022 
 
 
 
 
 
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 3 years. The total cost of the “ready for use” asset is 
based on the costs capitalised monthly. Any additional costs capitalised to the “ready for use” asset, are 
only those that will extend future economic benefits, and as such, will attract immediate amortisation.

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. 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.

Impairment testing is performed at least annually for goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite lives and 
intangible assets not yet available for use.

During the reporting period, the Group terminated the partnership with a key technology platform provider and has moved to an alternative 
open-source platform, as such the related work in software under development was impaired, $310k. The group also reviewed existing 
technology and impaired certain assets which became redundant amounting to $871k, due to investment in newer technology solutions. 

Technology Transformation Projects were allocated to Technology and software when they were in a condition for use as per the expectations 
of management. These costs included estimates covering the amount of time resources were allocated to key project components. They were 
amortised in accordance with the Company accounting policies.

The remaining $751k in Software under development relates to the groups Card Linked Offer rewards platform which is expected to be 
transferredto Technology and Software in FY23. 

4.  Goodwill was impaired following the value in use calculation performed as at 30 June 2022. Additional information is included in the latter

Incentiapay Ltd and Controlled EntitiesNotes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2022 
Assessment of cash-generating units (CGU’s) 
Indefinite and finite life intangible assets are tested at a cash generating unit (CGU) level, which is the 
smallest level that generates cash inflows that are largely independent from other cash inflows of other 
assets of the Group. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, 
the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the CGU to which the asset belongs. Identification of 
CGU’s (comprising the Group's Entertainment and Frequent Values businesses) involves judgement. In 
this case, the CGU’s of the Group are considered to be the Entertainment Business and the new Credit 
Linked Offer (CLO) business. This determination of CGU’s represents a change from prior periods 
where there was one CGU assessed for the Group. This change was made through a re-assessment of 
the separation of core operating assets and revenues test under accounting standards. Due to events 
and circumstances that have arisen during the financial year, there is a core change to separation of 
the Entertainment and Frequent Value’s customer and Merchant databases, technology platforms and 
revenue contracting with respect to the new CLO business. This has resulted in management assessing 
the new CLO business to be in a separate CGU for the 2022 financial year. The CLO business was 
previously included in the Entertainment Business CGU for the 2021 financial year. 

Current market conditions brought on by factors such as economic activity, inflation, cost of living 
and interest rates, as well as the continued downward trend related to revenue and operating profit, 
has triggered an assessment whether the carrying value of the Groups’ goodwill and other non-
current assets associated with the Group’s “core products” in the Entertainment Business CGU, may 
be impaired. These product lines are at higher risk of impairment due to reliance on an improvement 
in consumer sentiment evidenced through increased spending on hospitality and leisure activities, 
Merchants honouring offers, inflation and cost of living kept under control, and the success of the new 
brand campaign. The Card Linked Offer business’s underlying core assets are currently in the final 
stages of testing and are classified under work in progress.

The recoverable amount of the Entertainment Business CGU is determined based on a value-in-use 
calculation. This has been performed using a discounted cash flow model forecast based on financial 
budgets approved by the Board covering a 5-year period from 2023 through to 2027, followed by a 
terminal year calculation using growth rates determined by management. 

Allocation of goodwill and indefinite life assets to CGU’s 
Goodwill and indefinite life brands are allocated to CGU’s, or groups of CGU’s, expected to benefit from 
synergies arising from the acquisition giving rise to the goodwill and brands. 

A summary of the goodwill and brands allocated to each CGU for the period ended 30 June 2022, is 
presented below:

1.  Management have assessed that the goodwill ($10 million) and brands ($3 million) of the Group are fully allocated to the Entertainment 

Business CGU which is within the Australian operating segment. The basis for this allocation stems from the fact that Goodwill was acquired 
in a previous business acquisition as part of the Entertainment Business CGU and the brands asset is linked to the Entertainment Membership 
when the company operated the Membership as a physical book prior to transforming to a digital Membership. The Entertainment brand has 
continued and will continue to be used for all current and new digital platforms.

1. 

Goodwill was impaired following the value in use calculation performed as at 30 June 2022. The impairment amounts to $2,434,425 has been 
recorded against goodwill and presented as an impairment charge in the profit and loss. 

2.  During the reporting period, the Group terminated the partnership with a key technology platform provider and has moved to an alternative 
open-source platform, as such the related work in software under development was impaired by $309,625. The group also reviewed existing 
technology and impaired certain assets which became redundant, amounting to $871,746, due to investment in newer technology solutions. 
Combined, these impairments, along with the above, totals $3,615,796 

Key assumptions used for calculating recoverable amounts of the Entertainment Business CGU 
The Company has over the last three years been on a product, business model and technology 
transformation designed specifically to modernise and digitise the products and associated platform 
technologies, this ensuring the long-term sustainability of the Company. These changes are near 
completion and have established the foundation on which to grow the customer base and ultimately 
revenue. As part of the journey the Company has strategically delivered multiple reorganisation 
structures thereby reducing the cost base and bringing it in line with the new operating model and 
ultimately increase operating margins. The outlooks and budgets have been determined using this as a 
measure to grow revenue and increased profitability. 

Cash flows used in the value-in-use calculations are based on forecasts produced by management 
which have been approved by the Board. The growth rates are based on a proposed strategic 
repositioning of the core operations of the business focusing on returning the business to cash flow 
break even with a focus on short term growth and significant investment in the brand via marketing 
expenditures. Forecasts for 2023 consider the increased level of sales from the significant investment 
in the brand and marketing campaign, the focus on B2B Frequent Value app roll out, reduced costs 
from the restructure and cost out program, and an uplift program linked to the fundraiser channel.

Based on long-term expectations consistent with forecast included in industry reports.

2.  Reflect specific risks relating to the CGU. 

3.  Revenue growth rates are the most appropriate driver for the key inputs into the impairment model. The key assumptions for the 2023 and 

2024 years includes:

·  For the 2023 and 2024 financial years, the cash flows assume growth from investment in above the line marketing, the first of its kind for the 
Group. Investment is included in the discounted cash flow for both 2023 and 2024 to the extent of $2 million per year and assumes a return 
of $1.50 for each dollar invested per year. The forecast growth in revenue is dependent on the success of the brand investment campaign 
resulting in this forecast return on brand spend. 

·  Renewal and reactivation rates applied to Memberships that have expired. The cash flows assume a growth in reactivations of 54% between 

2023 and 2024. 

·  The white labelling of the completed Frequent Values app for all remaining Enterprise customers and using the completed app to expand to 

new customers.  

Operational efficiencies are also included in the cash flows. These reflect the cost savings associated with the restructure announced to market and 
implemented in July 2022, resulting in removing $4 million annualised from fixed expenses. These cost reductions have been made possible through 
the completion of the technology transformation and re-platforming and will form the basis of some of the revenue 

4. 

5. 

This reflects the expected growth rate associated with the travel, leisure and hospitality industries over the medium term. 

For 30 June 2021, the CGU includes both the Entertainment Business and the CLO Business. The combination Growth rates relate to existing 
revenue streams. From 2023 financial year, the discounted cash flows assumed new revenue streams associated with the next phase of the 
business transformation, called Seamless Rewards. The growth attributed to this revenue item reflects confidence in the planned product and 
market development strategies. As outlined above, the revenues from this new business are attributed to the CLO CGU and therefore are not 
included in the 30 June 2022 model.  

Following the impairment to the Entertainment Business CGU, the recoverable amount equals the 
carrying amount. As a result, any adverse changes to key assumptions would drive further impairment. 
The following table outlines the sensitivity scenarios of a decrease in renewal rates, decrease in the 
return of the brand investment campaign and an increase in the discount rate, that would trigger 
impairment:

Note 14 | Trade and other payables

Accounting policy

Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by the entity that 
remain unpaid at the end of the reporting period. The balance is recognised as a current liability with 
the amounts normally paid within 60 days of recognition of the liability. The non-current payables are 
amounts not expected to be settled within the next 12 months.

Note 15 | Leases

Accounting policy

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%, 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.

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.

Note 16 | Borrowings

Accounting policy

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 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 expense over the relevant period and 
is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (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 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.

3% per annum, no interest charge on the loan if full repayment is made on or before 17 July 2022.

The loan facility increased from $5 million to $22.5 million on 23 May 2022 upon gaining shareholder approval at the EGM. 

See note 19, Issued Capital, for more details. 

The facility limit has been exceeded due to additional interest being charged while the group renegotiates the repayment terms of this facility. 

The facility limit has been exceeded due to monthly interest payments being made after the end of the month. 

Interest bearing loan  
On 9 August 2019 the Group entered into a loan deed with Suzerain for total funding of $19 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 annum. During 
the 2020 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. 

83

Financial Statements

Incentiapay Ltd and Controlled EntitiesNotes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2022 
 
Accordingly, $19.3 million including accrued interest on the convertible loan was converted to equity 
with the issuance of 410,643,766 ordinary shares (4.7cent per share) in the Company. $0.5 million of the 
convertible loan was left in the 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. The balance remaining on this loan 
is $0.63 million (Including interest) and will remain as a secured interest-bearing loan until repaid. The 
Interest-bearing loan matured on 30 September 2020 and the updated repayment terms are currently 
being finalised and is expected to be repaid in the coming weeks using funds from the NGCH facility. 

Additional growth operational facility

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 agreed to increase 
the facility limit of the original loan by $4 million to $9.825 million. During the AGM in December 2020, 
the resolutions were passed to enter into a first ranking security deed and for the loan to be convertible 
to ordinary shares at the higher of $0.0275 per share or the volume weighted average price of shares 
traded on ASX during the period 30 trading days and concluding on the trading day before the issue 
date of the relevant shares, plus an additional 20%. 

On 19 January 2021, Suzerain opted to convert $6,376,514 of their convertible loan into 187,544,529 ordinary 
shares at $0.034 per share. Suzerain opted to convert the remaining amount of $3.4 million of their 
convertible loan into 104,939,367 ordinary shares at 3.29c per share, on 20 September 2021, in accordance 
with the convertible loan agreement approved by shareholders at the AGM held in December 2020. 

The final line fees of $184k have been repaid on 15 July 2022 to extinguish this loan facility. 

Transformational capital facility

Skybound Fidelis Investment limited as trustee for the Skybound Fidelis Credit Fund (Skybound) (a 
related entity of Suzerain) provided the Group with a $1.2 million facility for the transformational capital 
expenditures. During the AGM in December 2020, the resolutions were passed to enter into a second 
ranking security deed (ranking behind Suzerain). As at 30 June 2022 this loan facility has been fully 
drawn down. 

The Company finalised the renegotiation of the repayment date for the Transformational Capital facility 
loan with Skybound Fidelis Investment limited as trustee for the Skybound Fidelis Credit Fund in 
September 2022. The date was changed from 11 February 2022 to 31 December 2024.

New Gold Coast Holdings Limited Loan Facility

New Gold Coast Holdings Limited (NGC)’s, a related party of Suzerain, provided a $5 million Loan 
facility that was approved on 3 June 2021. The funds have been predominantly used to expedite 
the development of the Company’s technology and customer experience platforms and to provide 
contingent working capital due to seasonal cash inflows. During the AGM on 20 January 2022, the 
resolutions were passed to enter a second ranking security deed (ranking behind Suzerain). During 
the EGM on 23 May 2022, IncentiaPay Ltd gained shareholder approval to enter a convertible loan 
deed with New Gold Coast Holdings Limited which extended the total facility to $22.5 million and also 
deferring the repayment date to 31 December 2024. As at 30 June 2022 an amount of $6.09 million was 
utilised, with a further $16.4 million available.

NZ Business Cashflow Loan

The Group applied for and was granted a one-off loan provided by the New Zealand government in July 
2020 to support New Zealand business during the Pandemic. The loan was interest free for the first two 
years but will start attracting interest at 3% per annum as of 20 July 2022. The loan needs to be repaid 
by 19 July 2025.

The contract liabilities primarily relate to cash receipts from Membership sales, for which revenue is 
recognised over time. The reduction in the above is mainly due to the continued impact of the COVID-19 
pandemic which caused lockdowns in Sydney & Melbourne in the first half of the financial year and the 
Omicron variant that caused headwinds for Membership sales in the 2nd half of the financial year.

Note 18 | Provisions

Accounting policy

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 component of current 
trade and other payables 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 of high quality corporate 
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.

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.

1.  On 23 September 2021, Suzerain, the Group’s largest shareholder and a related party, opted to convert $3,448,486, representing the remainder 

of their convertible loan into 104,740,097 ordinary shares at $0.033 per share. 

2.  On 8 December 2021, pursuant to the announcement on 10 November 2021, ordinary shares were issued under an entitlement offer at $0.022 

per share to existing shareholders. Suzerain, as the Group’s largest shareholder and a related party, participated in this rights issue.

3.  On 17 December 2021, pursuant to the announcement on 10 November 2021, ordinary shares were issued under the Top-up facility. The shortfall 

was issued to third parties at $0.022 per share.

4.  On 19 January 2022, the group issued 19,545,455 ordinary shares as an oversubscription of the recent Top-Up facility which was announced to 

the market on 17 December 2021.

5.  On 3 February 2022, 4,986,667 ordinary shares were issued to the former Chief Executive Officer, Henry Jones, as per the terms in his Deed of

part of the 2018 LFS held in trust for the CEO & COO/CFO and incorrectly allocated at no value in the Issued Capital note of the June 2018 
annual report. This entry serves as a correction. 

7.  On 17 January 2022, 4,754,285 ordinary shares were issued to the group’s chairman, Stephen Harrison, as remuneration for consultancy and 

advisory services. These shares were previously part of the 2018 LFS held in trust for the CEO & COO/CFO and incorrectly allocated at no value 
in the Issued Capital note of the June 2018 annual report. This entry serves as a correction.

Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding-up of the parent entity in 
proportion to the number of shares held. Shares have no par value.

At shareholders’ meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is called, otherwise 
each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.

The entity manages its capital to ensure that it maximises the returns to shareholders as dividends 
and in capital value, whilst maintaining sufficient equity to ensure the Company can meet its business 
development objectives and continue as a going concern. The Group only has ordinary shares on issue 
and is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

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

Employee and Executive Share Based Schemes

On 29 September 2020, the Board implemented 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 worked reduced hours or were on reduced salaries. Commensurate with this, the Board 
approved the scheme, and all eligible employees received $1,000 of ordinary shares which were issued 
from the Company’s placement capacity during the previous reporting period ending 30 June 21. No 
further shares were issued under this arrangement in the current reporting period ending 30 June 2022. 

The Board also implemented a Loan Funded Share Scheme being a three-year long-term incentive plan 
for the former CEO and current CFO, which will vest over a three-year period. Vesting conditions relate 
to achieving the FY21 Board approved budget, and for the FY22 and FY23 financial years, will vest 
where the share price is greater than $0.10 and $0.15, respectively. Shareholder approval was granted at 
the AGM held on 16 December 2020. Refer to note 20 for further details. The former CEO has since left 
the group and his entitlements under the LFS scheme has been modified and settled. No further LFS 
arrangements have been entered into. 

Additionally, the Board implemented an Employee Share Scheme for senior management and executive 
directors, which will result in shares being issued into a trust controlled by the Company. Maximum 
number of performance rights to be issued under the plan is 7,500,000. These shares will be issued in 4 
tranches and will be subject to the same vesting hurdles as those applicable to tranches 2 – 5 under the 
LFS scheme and detailed in note 20. No shares were issued under this scheme during the financial years 
ended June 2021 or June 2022.

Accounting policy

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 equity-
based incentives are transferred to share capital.

Shares issued under the loan funded share scheme is accounted for as in substance option and share 
based payments were measured using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

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.

Share based payments - Loan funded shares

There were 38,771,277 options issued to key management personnel as part of Loan Funded Share 
(LFS) arrangements approved by shareholders at the AGM in December 2020. Following the departure 
of Henry Jones in December 2021, the scheme applies only to Ben Newling, whereby 11,585,043 options 
are on issue at 30 June 2022. The terms of the LFS arrangements can be summarised as follows: 

1.  IncentiaPay provides its key executives, (‘the executive’) with a loan to purchase an agreed number 
of IncentiaPay shares at an issue price based on the 5-day Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) 
immediately before issue date; 

2.  If there is an outstanding amount owing under the Loan, all dividends declared and paid with respect to 
the shares (after deduction for tax payable in relation to those dividends) shall be applied to repaying 
the Loan, therefore the executives shall have no right to receive those dividends;

3.  The loan provided is interest free and limited recourse, such that the executive has the option to either 
repay the loan or return the shares at the loan repayment date, being 30 business days after the last 
vesting date; 

4.  Vesting conditions apply to each executive’s shares, being related to time, meeting budgeted targets, 

and share price hurdles, and are outlined in table below; 

5.  Vesting of each tranche is subject to the continued employment of the Executive up to the relevant 

date on which the vesting conditions are tested;

6.  The Board will retain a broad discretion to determine or vary any vesting conditions if they consider 
that the commercial performance and circumstances of the Company justify that variation or waiver;

7.  Any unvested loan funded shares that do not meet their vesting conditions (after rollover, if applicable) 
will cease to become eligible to become vested loan funded shares and will be cancelled, bought-back 
or transferred to a third party nominated by the Board on terms determined by the Board in its sole 
discretion; and

8.  Prior to the shares becoming unencumbered, the executive is required to repay the loan. 

Under the settlement terms agreed between the Company and the former CEO, Henry Jones, Tranches 
1, 3, 4 & 5 of the Executive Loan Shares (being 22,199,567 Executive Loan Shares) would be delivered to 
the Company (or its nominee) in full and final discharge of Tranches 1, 3, 4 & 5 of the Executive Loan. 

The Company would in turn deem that Tranche 2 of the Executive Loan Shares (being 4,986,667 
unvested Executive Loan Shares) will vest with the Employee. The Company would forgive Tranche 2 of 
the Executive Loan (being for the sum of $149,600) so that no amounts are owing by the Employee to 
the Company under Tranche 2 of the Executive Loan. 

Under the applicable accounting standards, the LFS shares are accounted for as options, which give rise 
to share based payments.

Recognised fair value measurements

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. 

Valuation techniques used to determine fair values

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).

Specific financial risk exposures and management

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.

Market risk 

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.

The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk with any single customer or group of 
customers. $16 million of the revenue in note 2 is from Memberships and gift cards sales, they are cash 
on delivery, therefore, the Group has 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 because the 
Group deals with reputable banks with high credit ratings. 

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 $8.1 million disclosed in the 2022 borrowings time band is $3.5 million, of which $1.5 
million is interest, which is ‘within 1 year’. Two of these loans are past maturity date and their repayment 
terms are currently being renegotiated. See note 16 for more details. Management monitors rolling 
forecasts of the Group’s liquidity reserve and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected  
cash flows.

103

Financial Statements

Incentiapay Ltd and Controlled EntitiesNotes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2022 
 
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.
•  Renegotiating maturity dates of key funding lines of credit to ensure liquidity is managed within 

acceptable and planned thresholds. 

i. Financing arrangements 

New Gold Coast Holdings Limited, an associate of Suzerain has provided the Group with an additional 
$17.5 million loan, thereby extending the facility to $22.5 million. This has been approved at the EGM held 
on 23 May 2022 and is available at year end. The funds will be used to enhance the Group’s technology 
capabilities. Earlier in the year, during the AGM on 20 January 2022, the resolutions were passed to enter 
into a second ranking security deed (ranking behind Suzerain). See note 16 for more details. 

ii. Maturities of financial liabilities 

Interest bearing loan 
As at 30 June 2022, the interest bearing loan with Suzerain matured on 30 September 2020. Updated 
repayment terms are currently being finalised and the facility is expected to be repaid in the coming 
weeks using funds from the NGCH facility. See note 16. 

Additional growth operational facility 
As at 30 June 2022, the additional growth capital facility with Suzerain matured on 31 December 2021 
and has been fully repaid on 15 July 2022. See note 16.

Transformational capital facility 
As at 30 June 2022, the Transformational capital facility with Skybound matured on 11 February 2022. 
The Company is currently busy renegotiating the repayment date and it is expected to be deferred to 
December 2024. See note 16.

New Gold Coast Holdings Limited Loan facility 
As at 30 June 2022, the loan facility with New Gold Coast Holdings Limited will mature on 31 December 
2024. See note 16. 

104104

Incentiapay Ltd and Controlled EntitiesNotes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2022 
 
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 2022 as $1.8 million of total revenue is in NZD and the foreign 
currency fluctuation between AUD and NZD is historically insignificant at 0.5% 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 dollar, 
was as follows:

Trade payables

2022

At the end of the financial year, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the foreign 
exchange rate with all other variables remaining constant would be as follows:

Year ended 30 June 2022

+/- 0.5% in foreign exchange rates

The interest rate relating to the borrowings with Suzerain is capitalised at a fixed rate of 10% per annum 
and is expected to be repaid in the coming weeks. 

Interest relating to the borrowings with Skybound is paid monthly at a fixed rate of 12.5% and repayable 
by 31 December 2024.

Note 30 | Joint arrangements

During the year ended 30 June 2022, the Group entered a joint arrangement with Spineka Group 
Pty Ltd and Junovate Pty Ltd to set up and operate an online wine marketplace, jointly and equally 
controlled by the three participants, primarily via a contractual arrangement. Consequently, the Group 
has classified this joint arrangement as a “joint operation”. The joint operation is currently in set-up and 
initiation phase and is yet to be launched.

In a joint operation, the Group has rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities relating to the 
arrangement. In relation to the Group’s interest in the joint operation, the Group recognises: its share of 
assets and liabilities; commission revenue from successful transactions the sale of its share of the output 
and its share in any revenue generated from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and its share 
of expenses. All such amounts are measured in accordance with the terms of the arrangement, which is 
usually in proportion to the Group’s interest in the joint operation. Each participant has an equal share 
of the joint operation. 

Assets held in the joint operation subject to restrictions are as follows:

The Group does not have the right to sell individual assets used in the joint operation without the unanimous consent of the other participants. 
The assets in the joint operation are also restricted to the extent that they are only available to be used by the joint operation itself and not by 
other operations of the group.

Prepayments include payments to Junovate Pty Ltd and Spineka Group Pty Ltd for services, to be settled from future profit distributions under 
the provisions of the joint arrangement. 

IncentiaPay has funded $0.5 million during the current reporting period ending 30 June 2022. 

Note 31 | Events after the reporting period

The Group announced on 25 July 2022 a significant restructure and cost reduction program, with over 
$4 million of annualised resource related costs being removed.

The Company finalised the renegotiation of the repayment date for the Transformational Capital facility 
loan with Skybound Fidelis Investment limited as trustee for the Skybound Fidelis Credit Fund in 
September 2022. The date was changed from 11 Feb 2022 to 31 Dec 2024.

Independent Auditor’s Report

Independent Auditor’s Report 

To the shareholders of IncentiaPay Limited 

Report on the audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the Financial Report of 
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 June 
2022 and of its financial performance 
for the year ended on that date; and 

complying with Australian Accounting 
Standards and the Corporations 
Regulations 2001. 

The Financial Report comprises:  

•  Consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 

June 2022; 

•  Consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income, Consolidated statement of 
changes in equity, and Consolidated statement of cash 
flows for the year then ended; 

•  Notes including a summary of significant accounting 

policies; and 

•  Directors’ Declaration. 

The Group consists of the Company and the entities it 
controlled at the year-end or from time to time during the 
financial year. 

Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. We believe that the audit 
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the 
audit of the Financial Report section of our report.  

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical 
requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for 
Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of 
the Financial Report in Australia. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the 
Code.

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 forecasts by: 

o 

o 

Evaluating the underlying data used to generate the forecasts 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 (of whom are related parties) to assess the level of 

associated uncertainty with respect to the availability of new and existing facilities, and 
accommodative repayment terms including the extension of existing maturity dates and the 
conversion of outstanding facilities into equity; and 

•  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 forecast 
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 

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

• 

• 

Recoverable amount of Goodwill and 
other intangible assets; and 

Software assets. 

Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our 
professional judgement, 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 

Recoverable amount of Goodwill and other intangible assets ($12.322 million) 

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 
73% of total assets).  

We focused on the significant forward-looking 
assumptions the Group applied in its value-in-use 
model, including: 
• 

forecast cash flows – the Group incurred a loss 
during the year largely as a result of its revenues 
continuing to be impacted while demand for its 
products  and  services  recovers  from  market 
conditions  experienced  due  to  Covid-19  (most 
notably  in  membership  subscriptions).  These 
conditions  increase  the  possibility  of  goodwill 
and other intangible assets being impaired, plus 
the risk of inaccurate forecasts or a significantly 
wider  range  of  possible  outcomes  for  us  to 
consider.  We focused on the expected rate of 
recovery  for  the  Group,  and  what  the  Group 
considers  as  its  future  business  model,  when 
assessing the feasibility of the Group’s forecast 
cashflows. 
forecast growth rates 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 
increased  risk  of 
impairment.  This  drives 
additional audit effort specific to their feasibility 
and  consistency  of  application  to  the  Group’s 
strategy; and 

• 

Working  with  our  valuation  specialists,  our 
procedures included: 

•  We  assessed  the  Group’s  determination  of  its 
CGUs  in  light  of  its  future  business  model  and 
consistency with the assumptions used in cash 
flow  forecasts  and  the  requirements  of  the 
accounting standards; 

•  We  considered  the  appropriateness  of  the 
value-in-use  method  applied  by  the  Group  to 
perform  the  annual  test  of  goodwill  for

accounting standards; 

•  We 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 rates, 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; 

•  We challenged the Group’s significant forecast 
cash flow and growth assumptions in light of the

assumptions  such  as  the  expected  rate  of 
recovery 
for  consistency  with  the  Board 
approved plan and strategy and our knowledge 
of the business, industry and recent actual cash 
flows. As part of these procedures, we applied 
increased  scepticism  to  forecasts  in  the  areas 
where previous forecasts were not achieved and 
considered  the

recovery may have on cash inflows;  

•  We  compared  forecast  growth  rate  over  the  5

(CGU)  is  subject  to  from  time  to  time,  and  the

modelling is highly sensitive to small changes in 
the discount rate. 

intangible  assets 

The Group’s model used to perform its annual testing 
of  goodwill  and  other 
for 
impairment  uses  adjusted  historical  performance, 
and a range of internal and external sources as inputs 
to  the  assumptions.  The  Group  has  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 its consistent application. 

The  Group  changed  the  composition  of  its  CGUs 
necessitating  our  consideration  of  the  Group’s 
determination of CGUs, based on the smallest group 
of  assets  to  generate  largely  independent  cash 
inflows. 

In addition to the above, the Group recorded an 
impairment charge of $3.615 million against 
goodwill and intangible assets within the 
Entertainment Business CGU increasing the 
sensitivity of the model to small changes.  This 
further increased our audit effort in this key audit 
area.

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 accounting for the 
Group’s  software  assets  during  the  year,  given  the 
extent  and  nature  of  judgements  and  estimates 
involved in the identification and allocation of costs 
capitalised. Software assets include technology and 
software assets of $0.914 million and software under 
development assets of $0.751 million as outlined in 
note  13.  These  assets  relate  to  the  Group’s 
technology  transformation  projects  which  have 
resulted in $800k of additions capitalised during the 
financial  year  and  $647k  of  transfers  to  completed 
projects during the financial year. 

these  projects  given 

We  focused  on  the  Group’s  process  for  calculating 
the  amount  of  internally  generated  costs  to  be 
capitalised  under 
their 
application  of  judgement  against  the  requirements 
of  the  accounting  standards.  These  assessments 
include: 
•  Estimating  time  which  staff  spend  developing 
technology  and  software,  and  determining  the 
value attributable to that time; 

•  Allocating  costs  eligible 

for  capitalisation, 
including  staff  and  external  providers,  into 
relevant 
Technology 
and 
Transformation Projects; and 

appropriate 

•  Determining when projects become available for 
use in a manner in which management intended, 
and  therefore  the  appropriate  method  of 
depreciation  that  should  be  applied  using  the 
criteria in the accounting standards.  

These  factors  required  significant  audit  effort  and 
involvement  of  senior  audit  team  members  in 
assessing this key audit matter.  

In addition to the above, the Group recognised 
$1.181 million of impairment during the financial 
year for software assets which became redundant 
due to investment in newer technology solutions.  
Given the rapid changes in technology and market 
innovations, there remains a risk that additional 
impairment indicators exist for software assets. We 
therefore focused on the existence of additional 
indicators, particularly for expected changes in the 

Our procedures included: 

•  Assessing  the  appropriateness  of  the  Group’s 
accounting  policies  for  the  recognition  and 
measurement  of  software  assets  against  the 
requirements of the accounting standards and 
our understanding of the business and industry 
practice; 

•  Assessing the nature of a sample of capitalised 
cost additions against the criteria of AASB 138 
to be capitalised and meeting the definition of 
development assets; 

•  Testing a sample of  the  staff costs capitalised. 
Using monthly management reports containing 
their estimates of the value of time attributable 
to  development  tasks,  we  checked  salaries 
and/or  hourly  rates  against  their  underlying 
employment  contracts  for  accuracy  of  rates, 
and  against  internally  approved  timesheets  to 
challenge  the  Group  on  its  estimates  of  time 
allocated  to  development  tasks  as  opposed  to 
other operational tasks which would not meet 
the capitalisation criteria; and

the 
by 
different 
assumptions applied by the Group to underlying 
work programs. We also used our knowledge of 
the 
technology 
transformation  project  plan,  agreements  and 
invoicing  patterns  from  key  suppliers,  and  our 
industry  experience.  For  the  projects  that 
became  available  for  use  during  the  year,  we 
checked this against information evidencing the 
launch of these projects, the substance of costs 
incurred  on  these  projects  after  launch,  and 
their  AASB  138  eligibility 
for  ongoing 
capitalisation. For projects which remain under 
development  at  year  end  and  expected  to  be

in 
challenged  the  Group’s  assessment  of  when 
they  are  expected  to  be  available  for  use, 
against  our  analysis  of  the  nature  of  costs 
incurred  to  date,  costs  to  complete,  launch 
patterns and our experience of software launch 
phases.

manner in which the Group’s software assets could 
be used. 

Additionally, we assessed the factors considered by 
the Group regarding impairment of software assets 
and whether any additional indicators of impairment 
existed. This included having regard to: 
• 

Significant changes in the extent or manner in 
which the associated software is used; and 
•  Potential  or  actual  redundancy  or  disposal  of 

developed software. 

We assessed the disclosures for software assets and 
related  impairment  considerations  in  the  financial 
report  using  our  understanding  obtained  from  our 
testing  and  against  the  requirements  of  the 
accounting standards.

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
