ANNUAL REPORT 2020

Dear Shareholder,

ACCELERATING PERFORMANCE

On behalf of the Board of Infomedia Ltd we would like 
to first express our gratitude to our shareholders for 
your support in what has been a year of change, growth, 
challenge, and opportunity. We acknowledge your backing 
during this most remarkable 2020 financial year (FY20). 

We would also like to acknowledge the difficulty and 
uncertainty faced by our customers over the year. 
Navigating the tightening and easing of COVID-19 related 
restrictions at a time when the automotive industry was 
already confronted by significant disruption, has been 
extraordinary. We have appreciated the opportunity to 
work with each of our customers to ensure both they and 
Infomedia emerge in a stronger position. 

Finally, we would also like to acknowledge the commitment 
of our employees around the world. As a global team, we 
have worked day and night together (and virtually), to 
prioritise the immediate needs of our customers and ensure 
the safety and security of each other.  

To all of you, collectively our stakeholders, we remain 
committed to delivering sustainable growth in our 
business, providing solutions that drive success for our 
customers and building a great place to work.

This year, even more so than in previous years, Infomedia’s 
Board worked very closely together and that is again 
reflected in a combined Chairman & CEO Report for the 
2020 financial year. 

The 2020 financial year will be remembered in Infomedia’s 
history as a time of sustained performance and continued 
investment in the future by building the next generation of 
our core parts and service technology solutions, investing 
in data and completing a successful $83.9 million capital raise. 

The strategic decisions we have made in FY20 have been 
intentionally bold to ensure Infomedia is well placed to 
sustain growth into the future.

Although the future is uncertain in a macro economic 
sense, Infomedia’s strategic direction and objectives to 
be the leading software provider to the global automotive 
aftersales market are clear. The disruptive trends facing 
our industry and decline in new car sales are resulting in 
an increased focus on leveraging technology in automotive 
aftersales.   

The 2020 financial year has been humbling. We were 
pleased to deliver a result that was in line with expectations. 
We welcomed the opportunity to support our customers 
during a difficult time. 

We refer to accelerating performance because it is a key 
value that underpins our culture and informs our decisions. 
We continue to drive our business for the long term, despite 
the challenges and uncertainty we may face in the near term.

In the period July 2019 to January 2020, we completed the 
Nissan global EPC roll-out and were negotiating several 
opportunities across APAC and EMEA. Sales across the 
Americas were also on the rise, under a reinvigorated  
sales team.

In February, the world began to change with the spread 
of COVID-19. Initially our EMEA office was reporting 
difficulty engaging some customers due to increasing 
travel restrictions. Border closures quickly followed across 
the Americas and by the end of March, Infomedia had all 
400 (including 100 outsourced) employees around the 
world working from home around the clock to ensure our 
customers were supported.

The strategic decisions we have made in 
FY20 have been intentionally bold to ensure 
Infomedia is well placed to sustain growth 
into the future

The strong start to the year underpinned a good result 
despite delayed revenue opportunities in the second half 
of the year.  

Infomedia’s earnings per share (EPS) increased 10% to 
5.69 cents per share (cps) up from 5.19 cps in the previous 
corresponding period (pcp). 

Infomedia reported revenue of $94.6 million for the year, 
an increase of 12% pcp.  

Net profit after tax for the year was $18.6 million, an 
increase of 15% pcp. EBITDA margins increased from  
45% to 49% pcp.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020

Cash EBITDA, a key internal metric to identify the cash 
impact of capitalised development costs in reported NPAT, 
increased 11% to $21.3 million. 

Infomedia declared a final dividend of 2.15 cps; a total 
dividend of 4.30 cps for the 2020 financial year, an increase 
of 10% pcp. 

Infomedia is in a solid financial position with net current 
assets of $98.0 million for the year. Cash and cash 
equivalents of $103.9 million includes $83.9 million raised 
from an institutional placement and share purchase plan 
completed in May 2020. 

We also took quick action to actively engage our global 
customer base and identify opportunities to support 
both auto manufacturers and dealers through the most 
immediate difficulties between April and June 2020. 

Across the business we increased our cadence of 
communication and worked diligently to manage costs 
and minimise cash impacts. In May 2020, we completed 
a capital raise of $83.9 million from an institutional 
placement and share purchase plan; a key initiative in 
Infomedia’s protect and attack strategy.

and upsell

It became apparent the rapid pace of change impacting our 
customers provided further endorsement of our strategy 
as automakers and dealers moved to protect the most 
profitable area of their businesses, aftersales. 

The decline in new car sales from COVID-19 related 
restrictions provides a catalyst for further adoption  
by auto manufacturers and dealers of technology 
that improves productivity and enhances customer 
relationships in aftersales.

As one of very few global technology companies, 
specialising in both auto manufacturer parts and service 
solutions, Infomedia is uniquely placed to capitalise on the 
disruptive trends and significant challenges facing  
the automotive industry.

The additional capital raised to fund future growth, 
remains intact and will allow the company to fast-track 
our growth strategy towards acquiring quality assets that 
leverage our core solutions with enhanced technology, 
access to new customers and entry into new geographies.

NAVIGATING GLOBAL & STEERING LOCAL

By late March, the management team with the full support 
of the Board implemented a ‘protect and attack’ strategy 
to ensure that we could protect the business and our 
employees, provide support to our customers and also 
position the business to take advantage of opportunities 
as they emerged.

Our immediate concern was ensuring our employees were 
safe and had the essential equipment necessary to work 
from home. Approximately 60 per cent of the workforce 
participated in 80/20 flex schedule work arrangements, 
reducing work hours by roughly one day per week. The 
remainder, largely our development team, worked on 
building the next generation of our parts and service 
product suites.

DRIVING INNOVATION AND SERVICE 

We take an agile approach to strategy. Whether it is 
innovation, investment, acquisition, or partnership we are 
pursuing multiple opportunities within each of our core 
products. Pandemic related restrictions and uncertainty 
may delay our ability to fully execute in the near term, but 
our strategy and commitment to innovation in aftersales 
has not wavered. 

Over the past few years, the level of investment in the 
business has increased to underpin sustainable growth 
into the future. To remain competitive and position 
ourselves to take market share, we have continued to 
invest in developing customer focussed, market leading 
aftersales technology solutions capitalising on emerging 
trends. The current environment of rapid change requires 
all industries to reconsider planning and has presented an 
opportunity for our customers to think differently about 
their current aftersales processes.  

We understand how declining new car sales, ever-
changing customer expectations and rapid technology 
advancements are impacting our auto manufacturer 
customers and their dealers. Disruption is changing the 
customer experience, the operations of a dealership, 
ownership structures and the interaction with the car itself 
as a connected, autonomous, or electric vehicle. 

These emerging trends, are resulting in an increased 
focus by auto manufacturers and dealers on leveraging 
technology in automotive aftersales. Infomedia’s global 
parts, service and data insights solutions can increase 
aftersales productivity and profitability, improve service 
levels, and capture and retain deeper customer insight. 

ANNUAL REPORT 2020

BUILDING THE NEXT GENERATION OF 
AFTERSALES TECHNOLOGY

During FY20, Infomedia embarked one of the largest 
development projects in the company’s history to build the 
next generation (Next Gen) of our core Microcat electronic 
parts catalogue (EPC) and Superservice solutions. 

We have completely reimagined aftersales based 
on feedback from our global auto manufacturer and 
dealer customers to help make parts departments 
more productive and more profitable with leading-edge 
innovation and design. 

Infomedia’s Next Gen technology complements the 
automotive sales process, enabling a more personalised 
customer experience and allowing the dealership to 
capture data insights that are actionable, improve 
productivity and increase aftersales.

The Next Gen EPC surpasses the functionality of our 
competitors with innovation that moves beyond a siloed, 
technical reference tool to an integrated parts selling 
platform.

We have also been investing in data analytics. As one 
of very few global software providers in both parts and 
service, we are in a distinctive and enviable position to 
leverage information and transaction data that is often 
trapped in disparate, operational manufacturing and 
dealership systems. 

We believe connecting data silos remains an  
under-exploited strategy for automakers. We have the 
technology solutions to create opportunities to drive  
better customer experiences, define success metrics  
and grow aftersales profits by connecting information  
to create additional, actionable insights.

SUCCESSFUL CAPITAL RAISE UNDERPINS  
FUTURE GROWTH  

Growth through acquisition is a key initiative in Infomedia’s 
‘protect and attack’ strategy. In May 2020, Infomedia 
completed an $83.9 million capital raise via an institutional 
placement and share purchase plan (SPP). 

We took proactive steps to ensure that both the 
institutional placement and SPP were structured to 
balance the best interests of Infomedia’s shareholders  
and the long-term growth of the company. 

Approximately 98% of Infomedia’s nearly five thousand 
shareholders were eligible to take up at least their  
pro rata entitlement at the same price as the institutional 
placement. 

The proceeds from the capital raise will expedite the 
execution of Infomedia’s growth strategy, focussed 
on enhancing core technology capabilities globally, 
accessing new customers and increasing Infomedia’s 
breadth and depth in key geographic markets. However, 
COVID-19 related restrictions are slowing efforts to bring 
international acquisitions to fruition.

GOVERNANCE

Infomedia’s Board is committed to achieving high 
standards of professional conduct across all of Infomedia’s 
operations. Our Corporate Code of Conduct is a guide for 
our employees and sets expectations for performance and 
managing responsibilities. Details of Infomedia’s corporate 
governance framework and policies can be found on the 
corporate governance section of Infomedia’s website:  
https://www.infomedia.com.au/governance

ANNUAL REPORT 2020

OUTLOOK

The Board remains confident about Infomedia’s strategic 
direction. Infomedia is well placed to emerge from the 
challenges of FY20 in a much stronger position.

Customer engagement returned through June and July 
and a backlog of dealer based and large manufacturer 
contracted deals are expected to rollout and revenue late 
in 2021. COVID-19 related restrictions are expected to delay 
sales converting to revenue. Softer revenue growth than 
experienced in recent periods is anticipated in the first 
half of the 2021 financial year (1H21). Similarly, protracted 
travel constraints are slowing efforts to bring international 
acquisitions to fruition. Subject to restrictions easing, 
growth in calendar 2021 should re-emerge at a faster pace.

As a result, Infomedia is not providing guidance but is 
well positioned to sustain growth in the medium term. 
The focus over the coming months will be pursuing 
acquisitions, investment in core products, implementing 
delayed rollouts, training and installations and continuing 
contract negotiations delayed in the last quarter of the 
2020 financial year.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The Board was delighted to welcome Kim Anderson as 
a Non-Executive Director in June. Kim brings extensive 
experience to the role and an excellent knowledge of both 
the auto industry and technology. Kim will undoubtedly 
make a positive and substantial contribution to Infomedia 
into the future.

On behalf of the Board, we again say thank you to all 
our stakeholders for your support, engagement, and 
commitment during this extraordinary time. We are 
committed to emerging from these changing events  
in a stronger position together.

ACTIVE JOBS

In re-imagining the Next Gen EPC to help dealerships grow parts business,  
we’ve delivered three new and exciting innovations:

1.  Upgrade to core Microcat: improve the core EPC with very latest technology and features to simplify OEM parts 

look up and parts ordering.

2.  Solution Add-ons: to improve sales performance with Service data integration, EPC Analytics and purpose built EPC 

Messaging App.

3.  Microcat Platform: a platform approach that allows the OEM catalogue data to integrate with Collision and 

Mechanical e-commerce solutions.

“

I would definitely recommend 
the new Microcat EPC. I believe 
it sets a new standard for Parts 
Catalogues. It’s cutting-edge and 
an essential tool for my team to 
be more efficient and profitable.  
It’s a real game changer.

experience.

Braxton Johnson  
General Manager, 
Bell Lexus North Scottsdale

Bell Lexus North Scottsdale Improves Efficiency with Superservice

Bell Lexus North Scottsdale, a premier dealership in  
Arizona and the #1 Lexus dealer in the USA for overall 
service satisfaction, are reporting significant benefits 
from implementing Superservice multipoint inspection 
and quoting system in their Service Department. 

Productivity and Accountability

Braxton Johnson, the General Manager, saw huge  
improvements in productivity and performance. Before  
Superservice, they were held back by the inefficiencies  
of paper repair orders.

“There was no accountability, no tracking – the only  
person with the info was the person holding the RO.  
Superservice shattered all of the inefficiencies and  
provides excellent accountability,” said Johnson.

Collaboration between Departments 

His team uses Superservice primarily as a shop  
management tool. “It gives us the ability to easily visualise 
a vehicle throughout the entire service process using the 
dashboard,” said Johnson. He believes this improves  
productivity between the workshop and parts department, 
by communicating and collaborating more efficiently. 

Professional and Transparent 

They also use Superservice as a customer-facing tool. 
“It provides a very professional, consistent and  
transparent customer experience. Customers really 
appreciate when our staff add photos to support  
additional repair quotes,” Mr Johnson said.  

Outstanding Support from the Infomedia Team

One of the main reasons Johnson selected Superservice,  
is the “ease of use” and the ability to customise and tailor 
it to their specific needs. “Infomedia provides ease of 
access to important people in the organisation that can 
listen to their customers. The customisation of the system 
to suit our process was really important, it made the 
adoption of the system easy for our staff,” added Johnson.

“The onboarding experience was outstanding. The  
Infomedia team supplied a sufficient number of trainers 
for our large staff (12 advisors, 5 parts people and 30 
technicians). They were very knowledgeable trainers and 
stayed until we were ready to fly – which is very important,” 
he concluded.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020

COMPANY OVERVIEW 

Infomedia Ltd is a global technology solutions company incorporated in New South Wales, Australia. The Company is 
headquartered in Sydney (NSW Australia) with regional offices in Melbourne (VIC Australia), Cambridge (ENG United 
Kingdom) and Detroit (MI USA), serving the company’s global automotive manufacturing and dealership customers all 
around the world.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

During the 2020 financial year, the principal activities of Infomedia Ltd consisted of:

• 

• 

the development and supply of Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings, including electronic parts catalogues and 
service quoting software systems, for the parts and service sectors of the global automotive industry; and

information management and provision of data analytics to assist automakers and dealers optimise operations, 
grow sales and improve customer retention.

FINANCIAL AND OPERATING OVERVIEW 

Infomedia reported revenue growth of 12% to $94.618 million for the year ended 30 June 2020 (FY20), compared with 
revenue of $84.598 million in the prior financial year. Cash EBITDA, a key internal measure for the business, increased 
11% to $21.251 from $19.111 million in the prior year. Net profit after tax (NPAT) was $18.556 million, up 15% from  
$16.122 million.

Business engagement slowed from February 2020 as COVID-19 related restrictions were implemented around the world. 
Strong revenue growth was reported in APAC from contract wins in core parts and service products and the completion 
of the global Nissan EPC rollout. The EMEA region started the year with several advanced contract negotiations. The 
Americas had a strong start to the second half of the financial year benefitting from changes implemented under a 
reinvigorated sales team. COVID-19 related restrictions across the Americas impacted training and installations and 
delayed new revenue in the second half of the financial year. 

Infomedia responded quickly to the pandemic by implementing a ‘protect and attack’ strategy in March 2020 to protect 
the business and employees, and support customers. Payment concessions and extensions were granted to some 
customers on a case by case basis in each region. 

A rapid and effective shift to work from home arrangements meant that the build, pilot and launch of Infomedia’s  
Next Gen products were not delayed.

Infomedia is an Australian-based, global technology solutions company that develops business critical, VIN-specific, 
aftersales electronic parts catalogues, service software, data analytics and business insights for the global automotive 
industry. Infomedia is one of very few global providers of integrated parts and service software (SaaS) products to 
global automotive manufacturers and their dealers.

The Company’s core parts and service, data analytics and business insights products support both the manufacturer 
and dealer meet their key objectives to sell more automaker branded parts and retain customers to their brands through 
competitive pricing and service. As a result of declining new car sales in recent years, auto manufacturers and dealers 
are increasingly focussed on the most profitable segments of the value chain; growing genuine parts and service 
aftersales and retaining customers to their brands from one purchase to the next.

Infomedia’s software is developed to specific requirements with original manufacturer genuine parts and service data 
that is accurately priced and specific to each vehicle identification number (VIN). Our products are available in  
29 languages and 186 countries and licensed direct to the manufacturer, the national sales company and the dealer.   

Infomedia is governed by a set of core values and will continue to pursue its financial and strategic objectives to deliver 
sustainable, long-term performance for Infomedia’s shareholders by leveraging our key assets. The challenges of the 
last year have firmed our conviction and commitment to the strategic objectives outlined below and discussed in detail 
in the Chairman & CEO Report.

Operating and Financial Review (Continued)

ANNUAL REPORT 2020

OUTLOOK 

The Board remains confident about Infomedia’s strategic direction. Infomedia is well placed to emerge from the 
challenges of FY20 in a much stronger position.

Customer engagement returned through June and July and a backlog of dealer based and large manufacturer contracted 
deals are expected to rollout and revenue late in 2021. COVID-19 related restrictions are expected to delay sales 
converting to revenue. Softer revenue growth than experienced in recent periods is anticipated in the first half of the 
2021 financial year (1H21). Similarly, protracted travel constraints are slowing efforts to bring international acquisitions 
to fruition. Subject to restrictions easing, growth in calendar 2021 should re-emerge at a faster pace.

As a result, Infomedia is not providing guidance but is well positioned to sustain growth in the medium term. The focus 
over the coming months will be pursuing acquisitions, investment in core products, implementing delayed rollouts, 
training and installations and continuing contract negotiations delayed in the last quarter of the 2020 financial year.

RISKS

Infomedia is subject to risks which may have a material adverse effect on operating and financial performance.  
The Group adopts a risk management process which is an integral part of the Group’s corporate governance structure, 
and applies risk mitigation strategies where feasible. Despite best efforts, some risks remain outside Infomedia’s 
control. Some of the key risks (in no particular order and non-exhaustively) include:

• The COVID-19 ‘Coronavirus’  

• Infomedia has supported loyal customers with various initiatives 

to foster deeper, long-term, relationships 

• Continued focus on Infomedia’s core solutions aimed at the  

aftersales parts and servicing space. The after sales space has  
potential to become a key revenue driver for OEM’s as new car 
sales remain volatile for the foreseeable future

authorities and communities to 
take actions to suppress infection 
and provide financial support that  
are unprecedented in recent history

• COVID-19 has, and continues to

uncertain

• New car sales have remained  

volatile since the global spread of 
the virus which may lead to financial 
distress and/or consolidation

interpretation or application of 
the law by the courts or taxation 
authorities, may impact the future

2. REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE

ANNUAL REPORT 2020

The Report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Accounting 
Standard AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures. The term ‘remuneration’ as used in this Report has the same meaning as 
‘compensation’ as defined in AASB 124. 

Remuneration is a technical subject in the current regulatory and reporting environment. In writing this Report, the aim 
is to present information in a way that is easily understood and aligned to legal reporting obligations.

Who is responsible  
for presenting this  
Remuneration Report?

Who are the members 
of the Committee? 

The Remuneration, People & Culture Committee (the ‘RPC Committee’ or the ‘Committee’) of the 
Board presents this Remuneration Report on behalf of Infomedia Ltd (the ‘Company’).

The RPC Committee consists of three independent Non-Executive Directors.  During the period to 
30 June 2020 the Committee membership was comprised of Clyde McConaghy (Committee  
Chairman), Anne O’Driscoll and Bart Vogel. 

Committee membership 
in FY21

The RPC Committee has been restructured with effect from 1 July 2020, with Kim Anderson 
assuming the role of Chair of the Remuneration People & Culture Committee.  Mr McConaghy 
remains a member of the Committee. 

What role does the 
Committee play?

The Committee is responsible for providing advice and making recommendations to the Board on 
a range of matters, including: 

•  Remuneration: 

o remuneration policy and practices relevant to employees, including Executive KMP and 

the Non-Executive Directors; 

o the composition and quantum of remuneration, bonuses, incentives and any remuneration 

outcomes relating to Executive KMP and other senior management personnel; and

o the Remuneration Report and processes supporting its preparation. 

• People:

o formulation and review of policies and practices referable to Company employees; 
o succession planning for the Company’s future leaders, talent pipeline and people  

development processes to ensure growth and sustainability;
o executive leadership team appointments and development; and
o the health and wellbeing of employees.  

•  Culture: 

o expansion and assessment of a culture of inclusion and diversity; 
o people programs to develop and support a high-performing culture aligned with the 

Company’s purpose and core values; and

o corporate governance processes relating to people. 

The Committee operates in accordance with its charter, a copy of which is available on the  
Company’s website at: 

https://www.infomedia.com.au/investors/corporate-governance/remuneration-committee-charter/ 

a. External remuneration advisory services

The RPC Committee, subject to Board approval, directly engages with and considers market remuneration data from 
external remuneration consultants as required. During the period the Committee engaged with Guerdon Associates to 
review the Company’s long-term incentive structure for Executive KMP and Infomedia senior management personnel.  
Effective in FY20 the Company has implemented a series of refinements to the Executive KMP remuneration framework 
based on the results of the Guerdon review.   

No remuneration recommendations as defined by the Corporations Act 2001 were provided by Guerdon Associates. 

b. Prior year Remuneration Report – AGM outcome

The Company’s FY19 Remuneration Report was approved at the 2019 Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’) with 98.77% of 
votes cast in favour of the resolution.  No comments were made on the Remuneration Report at the meeting. 

3. INFOMEDIA’S PURPOSE AND STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

The Company’s core values, key strategies and purpose, articulated in the graph set out on page 15, are key 
considerations when designing and implementing the executive remuneration framework.

4. EXECUTIVE KMP REMUNERATION STRUCTURE AND PHILOSOPHY

Infomedia’s remuneration framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and 
shareholder returns. The performance of the Company relies upon the quality of its Directors and executives to lead the 
organisation. The Company must attract, motivate and retain skilled Directors and executives to deliver on key strategic 
goals. Compensation must be competitive and appropriate for the results delivered.  During the reporting period the 
Company applied the following philosophy when setting its remuneration framework.

Set in the context of the  
relative skills, experience 
and responsibility assigned.

Link to strategy

Fixed remuneration is set at 
market levels to attract and 
retain individuals with the 
necessary skills, experience 
and talent to pursue  
strategic goals.

At risk remuneration linked to a 
combination of Infomedia’s overall 
financial performance gateways and 
individual performance goals.

Financial measures include Cash 
EBITDA and Group Revenue growth.  

Non-financial measures include 
specific strategic objectives  
relating to regional operations, 
merger and acquisitions and  
enhancing the depth, strength and 
cohesion of the executive team. 

Executive KMP rewarded subject  
to delivery of Company financial  
performance in the form of ‘STI 
Gateways’ which in FY20 were linked 
to Cash EBITDA performance and 
Group Revenue growth.

Executive KMP are set appropriate  
key performance indicators (‘KPI’) 
and objectives which are both 
financial and non-financial in nature, 
including appropriate stretch goals.  
KPIs are aligned to strategic goals 
and creation of shareholder value. 

STIs are useful to reward in year 
performance and achievement  
of goals linked to short and  
medium-term strategic objectives. 

Share Appreciation Rights  
options (‘SARs’) and Performance 
rights (‘Rights’): Vesting after 
three years, subject to  
achievement of performance  
hurdles aligned to compound 
annual growth rate (‘CAGR’) in 
earnings per share (‘EPS’) targets 
determined by the Board. 

At the time each LTI offer is made,  
executives can elect to accept 
either SARs, Rights or a combina-
tion of both.  

The LTI ensures alignment  
between the long-term  
performance of the Company and 
creation of shareholder value.  
LTI acts as a valuable part of the  
remuneration mix to retain key 
talent and to reward executives 
for performance over an extended 
period.

The SARs encourage delivery  
of capital appreciation over the 
period, whilst the Rights encourage 
greater focus on total shareholder 
returns. 

The intrinsic value of the SARs 
and the Rights granted to  
Executive KMP increases or  
decreases depending on the  
Company’s trading share price.

(a)  The remuneration mix applies in respect of maximum potential remuneration or the ‘total remuneration package’. The remuneration mix is 
indicative of the overall philosophy and varies slightly between remuneration elements for the Executive KMP. Where this is so, it has been 
noted in Table 5 and Table 6 below summarising the terms of engagement for each Executive KMP, including the monetary amounts attaching 
to each element.

Infomedia has adopted adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (‘Cash EBITDA’) as a key 
measure for the FY20 STI Gateway for Executive KMP and also as a core KPI for the Executive KMP.

Cash EBITDA acknowledges the cash impact of investing in development costs that are capitalised.

The Company believes Cash EBITDA offers a more transparent view of the underlying level of activity and investment in 
products. By stripping out the financial impact of capitalised development costs, Cash EBITDA gives a clearer indication 
of the actual cash operating costs incurred during the financial year. Accordingly, management are directly measured 
and accountable for their management of costs which translates into improved bottom line results for shareholders in 
current (improved EBITDA) or future periods (via reduced future amortisation expenses), depending on the actual timing 
and accounting treatment of capitalised development costs actually incurred during the financial year.  

The reconciliation of NPAT to Cash EBITDA is provided in Table 8 below. As Cash EBITDA was introduced as a new 
financial measure from 2017 onwards, no comparatives are provided for FY16.

(a)  In accordance with remuneration governance principles, and where applicable, the Company applies underlying performance measures 

which exclude non-trading income and expenses in determining the vesting outcomes for variable remuneration components.  During the 
period, the Company reassessed the contingent consideration referable to the Microcat CRM acquisition, resulting in a net change to NPAT 
of $0.521 million via a reduction in contingent consideration previously provided for.

(a)  Stretch targets apply to financial objectives only.  Despite the stretch targets, the total maximum potential STI achievement is capped at 

100% of the CEO & Managing Director’s and the CFO’s STI opportunity of $395,000 and $205,800 per annum respectively. 

(b)  Group Revenue growth targets were achieved at 101% and Cash EBITDA targets were achieved at 90%, the latter falling below the gateway 
qualification of 92% of targeted Cash EBITDA.  After consideration of the relative performance of the Company during the period, the 
Board elected to apply positive discretion in determining STI outcomes, lifting achievement of Group Revenue to 102% of target and Cash 
EBITDA to 92% of target.  However, noting the application of accelerator payments in respect of Group Revenue outcomes above 100% 
achievement, the Board also exercised negative discretion to scale back accelerator payments to 0%. 

More specifically, the adjustments applied in determining STI outcomes took the following matters into account: 

(i) 

inclusion of foregone revenue attributable to temporary COVID-19 related discount relief extended to some customers. This discretion 
was applied on the basis that management have secured the relevant recurring revenue streams which will benefit shareholders in 
future periods, and which would have otherwise been realised in FY20, but for the unforeseen impact of COVID-19.  This adjustment 
resulted in Group Revenue achievement of 102% which would ordinarily result in an STI payout of 110% of target, however as noted 
above, the Board elected to wind the accelerator payment back to 0%; and 

(ii)  reversal of cost savings realised from implementation of the Company’s ‘80/20 flex schedule’, applicable to a limited cohort of 

Infomedia employees during the relevant period of April, May and June 2020.  The ‘80/20 flex schedule’ arrangements involved a 
20% reduction in working hours for a portion of Infomedia staff in response to business disruption and uncertainty arising from the 
COVID-19 pandemic.   

(c)  The scope of disclosure made regarding Executive KMP performance targets is limited as the Board has formed the view that disclosure of 
further detail would result in unreasonable prejudice to the entity by signalling key strategies to competitors, suppliers and/or customers, 

thereby strengthening those parties’ position relative to the Company.

Key purpose 

Who participates?

How was the current 
Executive KMP LTI  
program devised?

How does the revised 
LTI scheme differ from 
the former scheme?

Why was EPS chosen  
as the relevant  
performance hurdle  
for the LTI scheme? 

What governance 
mechanisms does the 
Company have in place 
regarding LTI and  
trading in shares  
generally?

Does the Company  
impose a minimum 
shareholding  
requirement?

The purpose of the LTI program is to link Executive KMP performance with long term shareholder 
wealth creation. The details of the FY20 Executive

Executive KMP participate in the scheme described in this Remuneration Report. Other senior 
management in the Company are also eligible to participate in the scheme.

The Executive KMP LTI program was devised in consultation with external remuneration  
consultants in 2019 to replace the Company’s former LTI framework which was implemented  
in 2016.  

The former LTI model utilised a combination of Performance Options and Performance Rights,  
issued in advance for a three-year period.  The revised program has reverted to a series of 
rolling annual grants with a three-year performance period in line with broadly accepted market 
practice.  The revised program also has the added advantages of (i) providing greater optionality 
to Executives by allowing them to elect the form in which their LTI Award Opportunity is  
allocated; and (ii) replacing traditional Performance Options with Share Appreciation Rights 
(‘SARs’).  SARs provide similar leverage to a traditional Performance Option, however eliminating 
the requirement for the Executive to pay a ‘strike’ price at exercise. 

Earnings per share (‘EPS’) is directly linked to shareholder value creation. It encourages  
management to grow top line revenue while maintaining adequate cost controls to deliver 
strong net profit after tax results.  The compounding nature of the metric year on year provides a 
rigorous metric and a sound growth proposition for shareholders.  

Share Trading Policy: 
The Company maintains a formal Share Trading Policy. The policy prohibits trading based on insider 
information and limits the ability of Restricted Persons to trade in Infomedia shares to several 
short trading windows following the release of half year and full year financial results and following 
the Annual General Meeting. The policy also prohibits short term or speculative trading.

Prohibition against hedging: 
Additionally, the Company’s Equity Plan Rules prohibit Plan participants from entering into 
hedging arrangements to limit the risk of their unvested LTI component. 

The Company encourages its senior management to hold shares in the Company, however it 
does not impose any requirement on Executive KMP to hold a minimum quantity of Infomedia 
shares at any time. Refer Table 18 showing the shareholdings of Executive KMP during FY20.

Executives were provided an opportunity to select the apportionment of their ‘LTI Award Opportunity’ 
between Rights and SARs by taking 100% Rights, 50% in Rights and 50% in SARs, or 100% in SARs

Terms of issue 

Rights are granted to the Executive KMP for 
nil consideration.

SARs are granted to the Executive KMP for nil 
consideration.  

The number of Rights to be granted in FY20 
was determined using a ten-day Volume 
Weighted Average Price (VWAP) calculation 
on the Company’s share price following 
release of the FY19 results to determine a 
‘Reference Price’. The ‘LTI Award Opportunity’  
referable to the Rights is divided by the 
Reference Price to determine the number of 
Rights to be granted to the Executive KMP. 

The Rights are granted pursuant to the terms 
of the Company’s ongoing Equity Plan Rules 
(as amended from time to time).

Vesting of the Rights is subject to the perfor-
mance measures as described below. 

The Board retains a discretion to cash settle 
any vested LTI instead of using shares. 

The Executive KMP did not elect to receive 
any of their LTI Award Opportunity in the form 
of Rights in FY20.

The number of SARs to be allocated was  
determined using a Cox-Ross Rubinstein lattice 
valuation model, applying the estimated value 
of the SARs, as determined by an independent 
qualified valuer. The number of SARs allocated 
was calculated by dividing the ‘LTI Award  
Opportunity’ referable to the SARs by their  
estimated fair value.

The SARs are issued pursuant to the terms of the 
Company’s ongoing Equity Plan Rules  
(as amended from time to time).

Vesting of the SARs is subject to the performance 
measures as described below.

The Board retains a discretion to cash settle any 
vested LTI instead of using shares.

Both the Executive KMP elected to receive 100% 
of their LTI Award Opportunity in the form of 
SARs in FY20.

The Rights and SARs granted for FY20 will be tested over a performance period spanning 1 July 
2019 to 30 June 2022. Vesting is subject to the attainment of the performance measures and the 
continued employment of the Executive KMP until the vesting date. The Rights and SARs will be 
tested for vesting following release of the Company’s audited accounts for the year ending 30 
June 2022 (‘FY22’). Unvested Rights and SARs will lapse and be forfeited if the performance  
measures are not met. Executive KMP may exercise vested Rights and SARs up to 6 years after 
the date of grant. After that time, unexercised Rights and SARs will lapse and be forfeited. 

Rights and SARs will vest subject to the performance measure: compound annual growth (‘CAGR’) 
on earnings per share (‘EPS’) based on FY19 EPS of 5.14 cents, representing statutory EPS adjusted 
for the purposes of determining LTI outcomes in 2019 to exclude various non-trading items.  
The plan provides for Board discretion to adjust statutory results for non-trading items.

Each vested Right entitles the Executive KMP 
upon exercise to receive the following:  

•  One Infomedia fully paid ordinary share 

(‘Share’); and

•  Additional Shares equal in value to dividends 
received on Shares between the date of 
grant and exercise. The additional Shares 
are calculated as the number of Shares 
that would have been acquired if dividends 
as announced to the ASX between the date 
of grant and exercise had been paid and 
reinvested in Shares, based on the closing 
price of the Share at the ex-div date during 
the period from grant to exercise. Fractions 
of Shares will be rounded down to the 
nearest whole number and no residual 
positive balance carried forward.

(a)  Long Term Incentives in the form of Performance Rights and Performance Options, granted to the Executive KMP in 2016, were tested for 

vesting following release of the Company’s FY19 results. The applicable performance hurdles required attainment of 15% compound annual 
growth rate in earnings per share (EPS) when comparing FY16 EPS (3.33 cents) to FY19 EPS.  

(b)  During FY19, the Company reassessed the Microcat CRM acquisition which resulted in a net increase in NPAT of $0.165 million, represented 
by a $4.262 million reduction in the quantum of future contingent acquisition consideration previously provided for; offset by a $3.367 
million impairment against the Microcat CRM goodwill and a $0.730 million adjustment to finance costs on the contingent consideration.   
In line with remuneration governance principles, and as noted on page 22 of the 2019 Annual Report, the Company adjusted the final 
FY19 EPS outcome to exclude the non-trading items associated with the reassessment of the Microcat CRM acquisition in determining 
LTI vesting outcomes. This resulted in an adjusted EPS of 5.14 cents per share compared to a reported 5.19 cents per share.  Despite the 
adjustment, the vesting hurdles were met in full.  

(c)  50% of shares realised from the vested Performance Options, and 100% of shares realised from vested Performance Rights, remain subject 

to holding locks as described in section 8.a below. 

(d)  The Fair Value of the Share Appreciation Rights granted during the period is determined as at the grant date in accordance with the 

applicable accounting standard (AASB 2 Share-Based Payments). The Fair Value noted in this table differs to the ‘Estimated Fair Value’ of 
69 cents which was used to determine the award allocation numbers prior to the grant date.  The discrepancy is attributable to the timing 
difference between the award calculation and the date of actual grant of the awards to the recipients.

5. EXECUTIVE KMP REMUNERATION DETAILS

ANNUAL REPORT 2020

This section presents Executive KMP remuneration from two different perspectives. The first is the statutory disclosure 
basis, calculated and presented in accordance with statutory and Accounting Standard requirements. The second basis 
replaces the movement in the estimated value of share-based payments to which the Executive KMP became entitled 
during the year.  It also removes movement in leave accruals. Whilst this is referred to as actual received, it should be 
noted that a portion of the relevant share-based payments are subject to holding locks (see section 8.a below) and all 
payments are stated before applicable income tax.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020

b. Executive KMP remuneration outcomes in FY20 – Actual received

Table 14 discloses the cash and other benefits, being amounts actually received by the Executive KMP as distinct from 
the technical accounting expense. Accordingly, this table does not align with the statutory remuneration outcomes 
calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards in Table 12 above.

The actual remuneration received by the Executive KMP in Table 14 below represents:

•  cash received/receivable amount for FY20 – cash salary, short term incentive – cash bonus and superannuation; and

•  the market value of Performance Options and Performance Rights that vested and which were converted to shares 

during FY20. The market value represents the variable weighted average price of Infomedia shares in the four weeks 
following release of the Company’s FY19 annual results on 19 August 2019 (FY18 annual results: 15 August 2018). This 
period has been selected as it gives a fair indication of the value attributed by the market assessing the performance 
of the Company, and by implication the Executive KMP, based on the corresponding financial year’s annual results. The 
VWAP over the period was $2.16 (2019: $1.26).  Whilst this is referred to as actual received, it should be noted that: 

o  the Performance Options and Performance Rights which vested in August 2019 were granted to the recipients in 

2016 and represented LTI awards referable to the years 2016-2019 inclusive.  No new additional LTI were granted to 
the Executive KMP between 1 July 2016 and 30 June 2019; 

o  a portion of the relevant share-based payments are subject to holding locks (refer section 8.a below).  

o  the value of shares realised from the exercise of Performance Options have been adjusted to recognise the value 

received by the KMP after the payment of a 92.2 cent exercise price per Option by the Executive KMP to the Company. 

o  all payments are stated before applicable income tax.

(a)  The remuneration mix for the Executive KMP based on the actual remuneration received details in Table 14 above are:

(i)  Jonathan Rubinsztein: 8% fixed and 92% at-risk (2019: 46% fixed and 54% at-risk); and

(ii)  Richard Leon: 9% fixed and 91% at-risk (2019: 51% fixed and 49% at-risk).

(b)  Calculation of share-based payments is based on a point in time average of the Company share price as described in the commentary 

above Table 14. The Performance Options and Performance Rights which vested in August 2019 were granted to the recipients in 2016 and 
represented LTI awards referable to the years 2016-2019 inclusive. The grant to the Managing Director and CEO was retrospectively approved 
by shareholders at the Company’s 2018 Annual General Meeting. The value of shares realised from the exercise of Performance Options has 
been adjusted to offset the payment of a 92.2 cent exercise price per Option by the Executive, to the Company, representing payments of 
$3.46m and $1.84m by Mr Rubinsztein and Mr Leon, respectively. 

(c)  No additional LTI were granted to the Executive KMP between 1 July 2016 and 30 June 2019.  A portion of the relevant share-based payments 

are subject to holding locks (refer section 8.a below for details).  

(d)  This table reflects the actual cash remuneration received during the financial year. Comparatives have been adjusted accordingly.

components, taking into account market and sector wide impacts of COVID-19.

Table Notes: 

1.  The Technology & Innovations Committee met twice during the period which stands outside the express terms of its charter. During the 

period the Company has been engaged in critical product upgrades to bring forward the next generation of its product suite to meet looming 
retirement of Adobe Flash™ technology (‘NextGen’ project). Given the criticality of the project to the business, the Board has temporarily  
re-assumed responsibility and oversight for matters otherwise delegated to the Technology & Innovation Committee (TIC).  The TIC will 
resume its ordinary meeting cadence following completion of the NextGen project. 

2.  The Capital Raising Sub-Committee was established during the Company’s capital raising project to provide rapid response and to exercise 

oversight of the capital raising project on behalf of the Board.  In addition to the two formal meetings noted, the Committee provided 
additional ad-hoc support and exercised governance oversight at critical points in the capital raising process. 

3.  ‘H’: represents the number of meetings held during the time the relevant Director held office or was a member of the relevant committee. 

4.  ‘A’: represents the number of meetings attended by the Director as a member.

DIVIDENDS

ANNUAL REPORT 2020

Details of dividends paid or declared by the Company during the financial year ended 30 June 2020 are set out in note 3 
to the financial statements.

MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR

On 24 August 2020, the Board declared a final 70% franked dividend of 2.15 cents per share.

The impact of COVID-19 is ongoing and while it has not had a significant detrimental effect on the Group up to 30 June 2020, it is 
not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly changing 
and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social 
distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the 
Group’s operations, the results of those operations, or the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years.

INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE OF OFFICERS

To the extent permitted by law, the Company has indemnified the Directors and executives of the Company for liability, 
damages and expenses incurred, in their capacity as a Director or an executive, for which they may be held personally liable, 
except where there is a lack of good faith.

During the financial year, the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the Directors and executives of the 
Company against a liability to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure 
of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

The Group is not subject to any significant environmental regulation under Australian Commonwealth or State law.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Infomedia strives to achieve compliance with the governance recommendations set out in the Fourth Edition of the Corporate 
Governance Principles and Recommendations, published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council (the ASX Principles). The 
Company addresses the ASX Principles in a manner consistent with its relative size and resourcing capabilities. Infomedia’s 
latest Corporate Governance Statement was lodged with the ASX on the same date as this report and is available on the 
Company’s website at: http://www.infomedia.com.au/governance

SHARES ISSUED ON THE EXERCISE OF PERFORMANCE OPTIONS

During the period, 5,546,280 new fully paid ordinary shares were issued upon exercise of performance options with a strike 
price of 92.2 cents per option.  No other options have been exercised between 30 June 2020 and the date of this report. 

SHARES ISSUED ON THE EXERCISE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS

During the period, 372,466 new fully paid ordinary shares were issued upon exercise of performance rights. No strike price was 
payable in respect of the performance rights.   No other performance rights have been exercised between 30 June 2020 and the 
date of this report. 

PERFORMANCE OPTIONS

There are no outstanding share options issued in respect of ordinary shares of Infomedia Ltd.

PERFORMANCE RIGHTS

As at the date of this report, 1,820,647 performance rights remain on issue in respect of ordinary shares of Infomedia Ltd.  
Further information about the performance rights is set out in note 17 to the financial statements. 

SHARE APPRECIATION RIGHTS

As at the date of this report, 2,418,182 Share Appreciation Rights (SARs) remain on issue in respect of ordinary shares of 
Infomedia Ltd.  Further information about the SARs is set out in note 17 to the financial statements.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor 
are outlined in note 21 to the financial statements.

The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another 
person or firm on the auditor’s behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the 
Corporations Act 2001.

The Directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 21 to the financial statements do not compromise the 
external auditor’s independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

•  all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the 

auditor; and

•  none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics 
for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or 
auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate 
for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION

A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out 
immediately after this Directors’ Report.

ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS

The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, issued 
by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to ‘rounding-off’. Amounts in this report have been rounded off 
in accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

This report is made in accordance with a resolution of Directors, pursuant to section 298(2)(a) of the Corporations Act 2001.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Note 1. Operating segments 

Identification of reportable segments 

The Group is organised into three reportable segments: 

●
●
●

Asia Pacific;
Europe, Middle East and Africa ('EMEA'); and
Americas, representing the combined North, Central and South America.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020

These reportable segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Chief Executive Officer & Managing 
Director (who is identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the 
allocation of resources. There is no aggregation of reportable segments. 

The reportable segments are identified by management based on the region in which products are sold. Discrete financial information 
about each of these operating segments is reported to the Board of Directors regularly. 

The CODM reviews earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (‘EBITDA’). The accounting policies adopted for 
internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements. 

Major customers 

The Group has many customers to which it provides products. There is no significant reliance on any single customer contract.

Australia and the United States of America are the only individual countries from which the Group derives material revenues. In the 
current year, the Group derived revenue of $18.385 million from the United States of America (2019: $18.973 million) and $18.060 
million from Australia (2019: $16.325 million). $67.110 million (2019: $57.817 million) of the Group’s non-current assets are 
located in Australia.

The Group has adopted Accounting Standard AASB 16 Leases for the year ended 30 June 2020 using the modified retrospective 
approach and as such the comparatives have not been restated.

Infomedia Ltd 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
30 June 2020 

Note 2. Earnings per share (continued) 

ANNUAL REPORT 2020

(a)

(b)

Infomedia operates share-based payments arrangements in the form of a long term incentive plan. Eligible employees receive
long  term  incentives  in  the  form  of  performance  rights,  performance  options  and/or  share  appreciation  rights.  The  long-term
incentives  vest  subject  to  attainment  of  specified  performance  conditions  being  met  over  the  performance  period.    Vested
entitlements  may  be  exercised  and  are  generally  settled  by  share  based  payment  in  the  form  of  ordinary  fully  paid  Infomedia
shares, unless otherwise determined by the Board. Further details of the long-term incentives currently on issue are set out in
note  17  below.  Additional  details  about  long-term  incentives  issued  to  Executive  KMP  are  set  out  in  the  Company’s
remuneration report.

Infomedia  acquired  Microcat  CRM™  and  Nidasu  Pty  Limited  during  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2018  and  2019,
respectively.  Any  potential  contingent  consideration  to  be  settled  in  the  future  will  be  partly  in  the  form  of  Infomedia  ordinary
shares.  As  at  both  30  June  2019  and  2020,  the  contingent  consideration  liability  recognised  on  the  statement  of  financial
position has not been included as dilutive potential ordinary shares in the diluted earnings per share calculation. The contingent
consideration liability as at 30 June 2020 only relates to Nidasu Pty Limited.

Accounting policy for earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Infomedia by the weighted average number 
of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for any bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the 
financial year and excluding treasury shares. 

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after 
income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average 
number of shares assumed to have been issued at no consideration received in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares. 

Note 3. Equity - dividends 

Dividends paid during the financial year were as follows: 

Interim dividend for the year ended 30 June 2020 of 2.15 cents of which 1.505 cents was franked 
(2019: 1.75 cents fully franked) per ordinary share 

Final dividend for the year ended 30 June 2019 of 2.15 cents unfranked (2018: 1.70 cents fully 
franked) per ordinary share

On 24 August 2020, the directors declared a final dividend of 2.15 cents per share, 70% franked, to be paid on 17 September 2020. 
As this occurred after the reporting date, the dividends declared have not been recognised in these financial statements and will be 
recognised in future financial statements. 

The Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan ('DRP') was suspended on 31 October 2019.

Revenue recognition 

ANNUAL REPORT 2020

The Group derives the majority of its revenue from recurring ‘software as a service’ subscriptions, where customers are licensed to 
access and use software and associated support services. 

The Group generates revenue through the following streams of revenue: 

●
●

●

subscriptions to the Group’s software products, comprising over 95% of total revenue;
software  development  services  to  tailor  off-the-shelf  software  solutions  for  specific  use  or  functionality  requirements  or
integration with customers’ systems; and
ancillary services in the form of software installation and training.

Each of the above services delivered to customers are considered separate performance obligations even though, in practice, they 
may be governed by a single legal contract with the customer. 

Revenue recognition for each of the above revenue streams are as follows: 

●

Subscriptions revenue:

˃  Customers are typically invoiced monthly, quarterly or yearly based on the terms in the contract with customers, and
    consideration is payable when invoiced. The consideration received for quarterly or yearly invoices is recognised as 
    contract liabilities. 
˃  Revenue is then recognised ratably over the life of the subscription agreement beginning when the customer first has access 
    to the software. 
˃  Revenue is calculated based on the number of subscriptions used and fee per subscription, or as a negotiated package for 
    large customers. 

●

Software development services:

˃  The software development services are typically invoiced as defined in the contract with the customers. Revenue is 

recognised over time as services are delivered or in accordance with the terms of the service arrangement.

˃  Revenue is calculated based on time and/or external supplier costs.

●

Ancillary services:

˃  The ancillary services are software installation and training and are invoiced as defined in the contract with the

customers.

˃  Revenue is recognised either at a point in time or over time depending on how the terms of the service arrangements are 

satisfied.

Foreign currency translation 

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Infomedia's functional and presentation currency. 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the 
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at 
financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss. 

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. 
The revenue and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the monthly average exchange rates, 
which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised 
in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity. 

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of. 

Finance costs 

Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in 
which they are incurred.

Short-term employee benefits 

ANNUAL REPORT 2020

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly 
within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. 

Defined contribution superannuation expense  

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. 

Other long-term employee benefits  

The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date is measured at 
the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. 

Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. 
Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds with terms to 
maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

The Group is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in determining the 
provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which 
the ultimate tax determination is uncertain, for example, research and development claims. The Group recognises liabilities for 
anticipated tax based on the Group's current understanding of the relevant tax regulations. Where the final tax outcome of these 
matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in 
which such determination is made.  

The Company has made claims under the research and development tax incentive provided by the Australian Government (R&D 
incentive). The R&D incentive is claimed by way of self-assessment by the Company.  

In recent times there has been a heightened level of audit activity on claims previously submitted under the R&D incentive. The 
Company’s 2016 R&D claim has been under review with AusIndustry since July 2019. In March 2020, the Company received formal 
notification from AusIndustry that in their opinion certain R&D activities were ineligible R&D activities and, therefore, would not qualify 
for the R&D tax offset for the 2016 income year. 

The potential exposure to the Group for the 2016 income year is tax of $0.780 million and interest of approximately $0.300 million to 
30 June 2020. The Company and its tax advisors are of the opinion that the R&D tax incentive claims with respect to the 2016 year 
can be substantiated and, therefore, have not provided for the potential exposure. The Company requested an Internal Review by 
AusIndustry of the negative finding and this process is underway. The Company submitted additional information to AusIndustry on 17 
August 2020 to address the concerns raised.

Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax 

The Group has adopted Interpretation 23 from 1 July 2019. The interpretation clarifies how to apply the recognition and measurement 
requirements of AASB 112 ‘Income Taxes’ in circumstances where uncertain tax treatments exists. The interpretation requires: the 
Group to determine whether each uncertain tax treatment should be treated separately or together, based on which approach better 
predicts the resolution of the uncertainty; the Group to consider whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain 
tax treatment; and if the Group concludes that it is not probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, it 
shall reflect the effect of uncertainty in determining the related taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax 
credits or tax rates, measuring the tax uncertainty based on either the most likely amount or the expected value. 

In making the assessment it is assumed that a taxation authority will examine amounts it has a right to examine and have full 
knowledge of all related information when making those examinations. Interpretation 23 was adopted using the modified retrospective 
approach and as such comparatives have not been restated. There was no impact of adoption on opening retained profits as at 1 July 
2019. 

Accounting policy for income tax 

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income 
tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, 
unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets 
are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted. 

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable 
amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Note 5. Income tax (continued) 

ANNUAL REPORT 2020

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets 
recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to 
be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable 
profits available to recover the asset. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current 
tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same 
taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

Impairment testing 

ANNUAL REPORT 2020

The Group performed impairment testing for goodwill on an annual basis and other intangibles where there are indicators of 
impairment.  

Goodwill acquired through business combinations or territory acquisition has been allocated to a reportable segment (refer note 1) for 
impairment testing as follows:  

Asia Pacific 
EMEA 
Americas

The methodology used in the impairment testing is value in use, a discounted cash flow model, based on a five year projection from 
the approved plan for the year ending 30 June 2021 (‘FY21’). Key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount of each 
reportable segment are most sensitive.   

The following key assumptions were used in the discounted cash flow model for the different reportable segments: 

●

●
●

●

growth rates applied based on the FY21 plan applied were 6% to 14% (2019: 6% to 22%) for Asia Pacific, 3% to 8% (2019: 3% to
11%) for EMEA, 3% to 6% (2019: 3% to 5%) for Americas and CRM (2019: 0%);
terminal growth rate applied for all reportable segments was 1.5% (2019: 1.5%);
post-tax weighted average cost of capital applied was 11% (2019: 11.0%) for Asia Pacific, 10.5% (2019: 10.5%) for EMEA, 10.5%
(2019: 10.5%) for Americas and CRM (2019: 18.0%); and
exchange rates used in the cash flow projections for foreign operations were: AUD/USD exchange rate $0.67 (2019: $0.70) and
AUD/EUR exchange rate $0.61 (2019: $0.62).

As at 30 June 2020, the value in use of net assets of the Group was greater than the carrying value of the assets and therefore 
goodwill was not considered to be impaired for all reportable segments. All goodwill associated with CRM was impaired in FY19 by 
$3.367 million. CRM is being monitored within the Asia Pacific reportable segment in FY20. 

Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions - COVID-19

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the COVID-19 has had, or may have, on the Group and FY21 
outlook. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, the inherent uncertainty in the 
timing of new incremental revenue, the global workforce and the lockdown restrictions and economic conditions of the geographic 
regions in which the Group operates. 

The following describes each key assumption on which management had based its cash flow projections when determining the 
value-in-use of its cash generating units: 

●
●
●
●

the Group will continue to have access to the data supply from automakers over the projection period;
the Group will not experience any substantial adverse movements in currency exchange rates;
the Group’s research and development program will ensure that the current suite of products remains competitive; and
the Group is able to maintain its current gross margins.

Sensitivity – Asia Pacific, EMEA and Americas 

No reasonable change in assumptions would result in the recoverable amount being materially less than the carrying value for any 
reportable segments. 

Intangible assets other than goodwill 

There were no indicators of impairment during the year ended 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019.

Note 6. Non-current assets - intangibles (continued) 

Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions - goodwill 

The recoverable amounts of goodwill of the relevant reportable segments have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. 
These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth 
rates of the estimated future cash flows. 

Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions - research and development 

Research and development expenses incurred relate to works provided by third parties and internal salaries and on-costs of 
employees. 

Research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. 

Development costs are capitalised when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical 
feasibility, and the costs can be measured reliably. 

The key judgements relate to: 

●

●

determining the portion of the internal salary and on-costs that are directly attributable to development of the Group’s product
suite and software; and
identifying and assessing the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset and generating future economic benefits.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of the development asset exceeds its recoverable amount. 

The Group determines the estimated useful lives for the capitalised development costs. The useful lives could change significantly as 
a result of technical innovations or some other event. The amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than 
previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or items no longer in use will be written off or written down. 

Accounting policy for intangible assets 

Goodwill 

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or 
more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated 
impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed if the related asset 
subsequently increases in value. 

Capitalised development costs 

Research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Capitalised development costs represent the up-front costs of 
developing new products or enhancing existing products to meet customer needs. Development costs are capitalised when it is 
probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility; the Group is able to use or sell the 
asset; the Group has sufficient resources and intent to complete the development; and its costs can be measured reliably. 

Capitalised development costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their estimated 
finite useful life of four to five years. 

Software systems 

Software systems acquired in a business combination are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, 
being their estimated finite useful life of four to five years. 

Customer relationships 

Customer relationships acquired in a business combination are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected 
benefit, being their estimated finite useful life of three to nine years. 

Brand names 

Brand names acquired in a business combination are capitalised as an asset. The brand is recognised as having an infinite useful life 
as there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the brand is expected to generate cash flows. The brand names are carried at 
cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Note 6. Non-current assets - intangibles (continued) 

Impairment of non-financial assets 

Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for 
impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other non-financial assets 
are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. 
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. 

Recoverable amount is the higher of (a) an asset's fair value less costs of disposal; and (b) value-in-use. The value-in-use is the 
present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-
generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-
generating unit.

Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions - allowance for expected credit losses 

The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the lifetime 
expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes assumptions to allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for 
each group. These assumptions include recent sales experience, historical collection rates, the impact of the COVID-19 and forward-
looking information that is available. The allowance for expected credit losses is calculated based on the information available at the 
time of preparation. The actual credit losses in future years may be higher or lower. 

Accounting policy for trade and other receivables 

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest 
method, less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 to 60 days. 

The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. 
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue. 

Note 8. Leases 

The Group adopted AASB 16 Leases on 1 July 2019 using the ‘modified retrospective’ approach with no restatement of comparatives 
for the 2019 reporting period, as permitted under the specific transitional provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and 
adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are, therefore, recognised in the opening balance sheet on 1 July 2019. There was no 
impact on opening retained profits at 1 July 2019 following the adoption of AASB 16. 

On adoption of AASB 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to property leases which had previously been classified as 
‘operating leases’ under the principles of AASB 117 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining 
lease payments, discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rates as of 1 July 2019. The weighted average incremental 
borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 3.05%. 

The associated right-of-use assets were measured at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any deferred 
incentives relating to that lease as at the transition date. 

The Group has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases (with terms of 12 
months or less) and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.  

When adopting AASB 16 from 1 July 2019, the Group has applied the following practical expedients: 

●
●
●
●

accounting for leases with a remaining lease term of 12 months as at 1 July 2019 as short-term leases;
excluding any initial direct costs from the measurement of right-of-use assets;
using hindsight in determining the lease term when the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease; and
not apply AASB 16 to contracts that were not previously identified as containing a lease.

On 12 February 2020, the Company signed a new lease agreement to replace its existing office premises in Melbourne. The lease is

after the June 2020 year-end. 

Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions - Lease term 

The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Judgement is 
exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease or purchase the underlying asset will 
be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease term. 
In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise an extension option, or not 
to exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease commencement date. Factors considered may include the importance of 
the asset to the Group's operations; comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; 
existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. The Group reassesses whether it 
is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant 
change in circumstances.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020

Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions - Incremental borrowing rate 

Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to discount future 
lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is based on what the 
Group estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of- 
use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment. 

Accounting policy for lease liabilities 

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of 
the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot 
be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives 
receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, 
exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination 
penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are 
incurred. 

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is 
a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; 
certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the 
corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises 
the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net 
of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of 
costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset. 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the 
asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the 
depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of 
lease liabilities.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020

The promissory note matures on 1 June 2025 and the Group is liable to repay the principal amount in equal instalments (commencing 
6 months from the funding date) together with interest at a rate of 1% per annum. 

The proceeds are being used toward permitted payroll, rent and other utility costs and, therefore, may be eligible for forgiveness (i.e. 
not repayable) under the terms of the CARES Act should an application be submitted and approved.

 Note 11. Equity - issued capital and treasury shares held in trust (continued) 

Ordinary shares 

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the Company in proportion to the 
number of shares held, taking into account amounts paid on those shares. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the 
Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital. Each member represented at a general meeting, whether in person or 
by proxy, shall have one vote on a show of hands. Each share carries one vote upon a poll.  

Treasury shares held in trust 

Treasury shares are ordinary shares of the Company purchased on market by the trustee of the Infomedia Employee Share Scheme 
Trust. The treasury shares are held on trust for the purpose of meeting future obligations in connection with the Company’s long term 
employee incentive scheme. Trust shares are allocated or transferred to recipients upon vesting and exercise of long-term 
incentives. Further details about the Company’s long term incentives are set out in note 17 to these financial statements.  

Capital risk management 

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue its 
listing on the Australian Securities Exchange, provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. 

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital 
to shareholders, issue new shares and take on borrowings. 

Accounting policy for issued capital 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the 
proceeds. 

Note 12. Financial instruments 

Financial risk management objectives 

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), credit 
risk and liquidity risk. 

Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors ('the 
Board'). These policies include the identification and analysis of both the risk exposure of the Group as well as the appropriate 
procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks where appropriate. Finance reports to the 
Board on a regular basis. 

The Group uses derivative financial instruments, zero cost collar contracts to hedge certain risk exposures. Derivatives are 
exclusively used for hedging purposes, i.e. not as trading or other speculative instruments. The Group uses different methods to 
measure different types of risks to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of foreign exchange and 
aging analysis for credit risk. 

Market risk 

Foreign currency risk 

The Group operates and trades in three major economic currency regions (Asia Pacific; Europe, Middle East and Africa; and 
Americas, including North, Central and South America); and as a result, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. These 
exposures mainly arise from the subscriptions for the Group’s products and to a lesser extent the associated costs relating to these 
products. As the Group’s product offerings are typically made on a recurring monthly subscription basis, there is a relatively high 
degree of reliability in estimating a proportion of future net cash flow exposures. The Group seeks to mitigate exposure to movements 
in these currencies in extreme situations by entering into zero cost collar contracts under an approved hedging policy. 

In addition to the transactional sale of products, the Group’s investment in both its European and United States subsidiaries, the 
Group’s statement of financial position can be affected by movements in both the Euro ('EUR') and United States dollar ('USD') 
against the Australian dollar ('AUD'), with a corresponding impact to the foreign currency reserve in equity. 

As at 30 June 2020, there are no outstanding derivative financial instruments.

The Group had cash denominated in foreign currencies of $16.667 million as at 30 June 2020 (2019: 10.838 million). Based on this 
exposure, had the Australian dollar weakened by 15%/strengthened by 10% (2019: weakened by 15%/strengthened by 10%) against 
these foreign currencies with all other variables held constant, the Group's profit after tax for the year would have been $1.750 million 
higher/$1.167 million lower (2019: $1.138 million higher/$0.759 million lower) and equity would have been $1.750 million 
higher/$1.167 million lower (2019: $1.138 million higher/$0.759 million lower).  

The percentage change is the expected overall volatility of the significant currencies, based on management's assessment of 
reasonable possible fluctuations. The actual foreign exchange gain for the year ended 30 June 2020 was $0.919 million (30 June

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The 
maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for 
impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. 

Credit risk of the Group mainly arises from cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. 

The cash and cash equivalents are placed with major banks in those countries where the Group operates and therefore the credit risk 
is minimal. 

The Group’s credit risk with regard to trade receivables is spread broadly across three automotive groups - manufacturers, distributors 
and dealerships. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not 
significant. As the products typically have a monthly life cycle and are priced on a relatively low subscription price, the concentration 
of credit risk is relatively low with automotive manufacturers being the exception.  

Since the Group trades only with recognised third parties, collateral is not requested nor is it the Group’s policy to securitise its trade 
and other receivables. The ageing analysis as disclosed in note 7 shows that majority of the Group’s trade receivables are within the 
normal credit term and the receivables impairment loss is immaterial.

 Note 12. Financial instruments (continued) 

ANNUAL REPORT 2020

The Group has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables through the use 
of a provisions matrix using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative across all 
customers of the Group based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is available. 
As disclosed in note 7, due to COVID-19, the calculation of expected credit losses has been revised as at 30 June 2020 and rates 
have increased in each category of overdue receivables. 

Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the failure 
of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than 1 year even with 
active debt collection activities. 

Liquidity risk 

The Group’s exposure to liquidity risk is minimal given the relative strength of the statement of financial position and cash flows from 
operations. 

Given the nature of the Group’s operations with no borrowings other than the promissory note (refer note 10), the Group does not 
have fixed or contractual payments at the reporting date other than leases and contingent consideration.  

Contingent consideration may be payable over the next 1.5 years with 70% in cash and 30% in Infomedia's ordinary shares. The 
amount to be paid are determined by: 

●

the revenue and profit before tax of Nidasu Pty Limited over the three year period from date of acquisition.

The remaining contractual maturity of the Group’s other financial liabilities are as stated in the statement of financial position and are 
less than 60 days.  

The Group’s financial instruments exposed to interest rate and liquidity risk are: 

●
●

●
●

cash and cash equivalents, minimal exposure to interest rate risk;
lease liabilities are interest bearing, there is no exposure to interest rate risk on the basis that the interest rate is fixed and the
remaining contractual maturities of leases including principal and interest payments are: within 1 year $1.889 million; between 1
and 2 years $1.924 million; between 2 and 3 years $1.212 million; between 3 and 4 years $Nil; between 4 and 5 years $Nil; and
greater than 5 years $Nil;
trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are non-interest bearing and with credit terms of 30 to 60 days; and
as at 30 June 2020, the Group has a total of cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables of $115.974 million
(2019: $24.874 million) to meet its future cash outflows of trade and other payables of $7.540 million (2019: $7.934 million) when
due for payment.

Note 13. Contingencies and commitments 

Operating lease commitments were disclosed under the requirements of AASB 117 Leases. AASB 117 was superseded by AASB 16 
Leases effective 1 July 2019. Operating leases commitments are no longer disclosed under AASB 16. 

The Company has provided the following bank performance guarantees: 

●
●

In respect of its corporate headquarters lease - a maximum value of $0.722 million (2019: $0.722 million).
In respect its Melbourne office lease - a maximum value of $0.186 million (2019: Nil). This is a new lease agreement to replace its
existing office space in Melbourne. The Company only expects to occupy the premises in the 2021 financial year.

Note 14. Events after the reporting period 

On 24 August 2020, the Board declared a final 70% franked dividend of 2.15 cents per share.

The impact of COVID-19 is ongoing and while it has not had a significant detrimental effect on the Group up to 30 June 2020, it is not 
practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly changing and is 
dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing 
requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group's 
operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs in future financial years.

Acquisition of Nidasu Pty Limited - For the year ended 30 June 2019 

On 13 December 2018, the Group acquired 100% of the ordinary shares of Nidasu Pty Limited. Nidasu is the leading provider of data 
analytics to automakers and dealerships throughout Australia. The monthly subscription business model is highly complementary to 
Infomedia’s software as a service (‘SaaS’) recurring revenue business. It represents a key step in building Infomedia’s data strategy 
and presents a significant opportunity to access new customers and leverage Infomedia’s data business globally. As at 30 June 2019,

Pursuant  to  the  Share  Purchase  Agreement,  some  of  the  consideration  will  be  settled  based  on  future  years’  actual  financial
performance of the acquired business determined on contractual terms and thus was recognised as contingent consideration by
the Group. Refer to fair value measurement section below for further details of fair value of the contingent consideration.

Accounting policy for business combinations 

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other 
assets are acquired. 

The consideration is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities 
incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each 
business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the 
acquiree's identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss. 

On the acquisition of a business, the Group assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate 
classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group's operating or accounting 
policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date. 

Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in the 
fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability are recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration 
classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

Note 15. Business combinations (continued) 

ANNUAL REPORT 2020

The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the 
acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree is 
recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net 
assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the 
acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the 
non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the 
acquirer. 

Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts 
recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained 
about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 
months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value. 

Fair value measurement - contingent consideration 

Fair value hierarchy 

The following tables detail the Group's assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based 
on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement 
date; 
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; 
and 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. 

The Group's only financial instrument measured at fair value as at 30 June 2020 is contingent consideration (2019: contingent 
consideration).

Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within level 2 and level 3 

The contingent consideration arose on business combinations (refer to earlier sections within this note). The fair value was 
determined using an independent expert and is estimated based on a multiple of forecast profit before tax or net profit after tax of the 
acquired business over a three year period, subject to clawback. Any settlement of contingent consideration will be in the form of cash 
and Infomedia’s ordinary shares split in accordance with the corresponding Agreements. Any variation at the time of settlement will be 
recognised as income or expense in profit or loss.

Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions - fair value of financial instruments 

The Group’s contingent consideration liability is measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The information provided 
below is about how the fair value of this financial liability is determined, including the valuation technique and inputs used.  

●
●

●
●

Fair value hierarchy: level 3;
Valuation technique: the fair value is calculated based on a multiple of forecast net profit before tax or net profit after tax of the
business over a three year period, subject to clawback;
Significant unobservable inputs: forecast net profit of the business and the discount rate; and
Relationship of unobservable  inputs to fair value: the estimated fair value would increase/decrease if the forecast net profit or
discount rate were higher/lower.

Sensitivity analysis on fair value of contingent consideration 

The carrying value of contingent consideration at 30 June 2020 might be impacted by the changes in discount rate or the forecast net 
profit before tax of Nidasu Pty Limited. The impact to the carrying value for the following unobservable inputs is as follows: 

●

●

Discount rate - a 100 basis points increase/decrease in the discount rate would decrease/increase the contingent consideration
by $0.033 million (2019: $0.056 million and $0.057 million respectively).
Profitability, adjustments on profit before tax - a 5% increase/decrease in the profitability would increase/decrease the contingent
consideration by $0.352 million (2019: $0.420 million).

Note 17. Share-based remuneration 

The ultimate objective of share-based remuneration is to incentivise and align executives with delivery of long-term shareholder 
value. Long term incentives, with appropriate performance hurdles, align participants to the longer-term strategies, goals and 
objectives of the Group, and provide greater incentive for senior employees to have broader involvement and participation in the 
Group beyond their immediate role. Equity participation also assists the Group to attract and retain skilled and experienced senior 
employees. 

The obligations under share-based payment arrangements are settled by either issuing new ordinary shares in the Company or 
acquiring ordinary shares of the Company on market. Alternatively, the Board retains a discretion to settle the arrangements by cash 
in appropriate circumstances. The arrangements are governed by the terms of the Company’s Equity Plan Rules.  

Trading in the Company’s ordinary shares awarded under the share-based remuneration arrangements is governed by the 
Company’s Securities Trading Policy. The policy restricts employees from trading in the Company’s shares when they are in a 
position to be aware, or are aware, of price sensitive information. Certain employees designated by the Company are restricted from 
trading shares outside a defined set of three trading windows per annum which coincide with the Company’s half and full year 
reporting, and the Annual General Meeting. Trading outside these specified windows is prohibited unless Board express approval is 
obtained. 

Executive incentive plan 

The Executive Incentive Plan ('the Plan') forms an integral part of the Group’s remuneration policy. 

The Group provides eligible employees (including the key management personnel but excluding non-executive directors) with the 
opportunity to receive short-term incentives in the form of annual cash bonuses and long-term incentives in the form of performance 
rights ('Rights'),share options ('Options') and/or share appreciation rights (‘SARs’). The Board, based on recommendations from the 
Remuneration, People and Culture Committee, approves the participation of each individual ('participant') in the Plan. All Rights, 
Options and SARs are issued by Infomedia.  

Long term incentive – Performance rights 

The Board approves the issue of Rights to eligible employees. The following general terms relate to Rights currently on issue: 

●
●

●

●

●
●
●
●

Rights are granted for nil consideration;
The vesting conditions of the Rights are not market related and are conditional on meeting the performance hurdles described 
below;
Participants must remain employed at any relevant vesting and/or exercise date, subject to limited exceptions contained in the 
Equity Plan Rules;
For Rights issued prior to 2019, participants do not receive dividends until the Rights are exercised and converted into shares.
Rights issued from 2019 onward do not receive dividends, however they carry a right to receive additional shares upon vesting, 
equivalent to the value of dividends paid between the grant date and vesting date;
No voting rights are attached to the Rights until the Rights are exercised and converted into fully paid ordinary shares;
Before vesting, the Board will determine the number of Rights to vest based on the outcome of the performance hurdles;
Upon vesting, each Right converts into one Infomedia ordinary share for nil consideration upon exercise by the participants; and
If the vesting conditions are not met then the Rights automatically lapse.

Long term incentive – Share Appreciation Rights (SARs) 

The Board approves the issue of SARs to eligible employees. The following general terms relate to SARs currently on issue: 

●
●
●

●

●

●

●

SARs reward executives for the growth in Infomedia’s share price between the date of grant and the date of exercise;
SARs are granted for nil issue consideration;
SARs are tested over a three-year performance period and vest proportionally based on the relevant vesting and performance
criteria for each grant;
SARs which do not vest on the relevant testing date automatically lapse.  Vested SARs may be exercised up to six years after
the grant date;
Upon  exercise,  the  recipient  is  entitled  to  receive,  for  nil  consideration,  fully  paid  ordinary  shares  in  Infomedia  which  are
equivalent to the growth in Infomedia’s share price over the ‘Reference Price’ calculated for that particular grant, multiplied by
the number of vested SARs. The share price must exceed the Reference Price at the time of exercise;
The ‘Reference Price’ is determined by calculating the variable weighted average share price of Infomedia shares over a Board
specified  period,  following  the  release  of  the  Company’s  Annual  Results  (as  applicable  in  the  relevant  year  the  SARs  are
issued); and
Participants must remain employed at any relevant vesting date, subject to limited exceptions contained in the Plan rules.

Each  vested  SAR  entitles  the  Executive  KMP  to  receive  the  benefit  of  share  price  growth  over  the  period  between  grant  and
exercise. Upon exercise Executive KMP receive such number of Shares as determined by the following calculation:

 Where: 

SAR End Price means the 5-day Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company’s shares up to the day of exercise; and
●
● Reference Price means the 10-day VWAP calculation on the Company’s share price following release of the FY19 results.

The Reference Price in relation to SARs issued in 2019 was $2.1415.

methodology taking into account the term and conditions upon which the SARs were granted. 

The estimated value inputs and assumptions used are listed in the table below:

The risk-free rate of interest represents the 5.83-year zero-coupon interest rate yield at the grant date. Expected volatility was 
determined by calculating the annualised standard deviation of the log change in the daily close price of Infomedia's shares over 6 
years.

Accounting policy for share-based payments 

Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees. 

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, options over shares or rights that are provided to employees in exchange for the 
rendering of services.  

The cost of equity-settled transactions is measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using a pricing 
model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and 
expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, 
together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Group receives the services that entitle the employees to 
receive payment. No other vesting conditions have been taken into account. 

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. 
The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number 
of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is 
the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods. 

The total expense for the period arising from equity settled share-based payment transactions is included in note 4.

FY20 Financial Report

Infomedia Ltd 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
 30 June 2020 

ANNUAL REPORT 2020

 Note 22. Basis of preparation and other accounting policies (continued) 

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 24 August 2020. The directors 
have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. 

Basis of preparation 

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-
profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the 
International Accounting Standards Board. 

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements have been consistently applied to all the years 
presented, unless otherwise stated. 

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Infomedia Ltd's functional and presentation currency. 

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted 

The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting 
Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. 

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. 

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the Group: 

Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax 

Refer to note 5 for detailed analysis on the adoption of Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax. 

AASB 16 Leases 

Refer to note 8 for detailed analysis on the adoption of AASB 16 Leases. 

Historical cost convention 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, financial assets and 
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. 

Principles of consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Infomedia as at 30 June 2019 and the 
results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. 

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or 
has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct 
the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-
consolidated from the date that control ceases. 

Rounding of amounts 

The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, issued by 
the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in 
accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar. 

Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid 
investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are 
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Infomedia Ltd 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
30 June 2020 

ANNUAL REPORT 2020

Note 22. Basis of preparation and other accounting policies (continued) 

Trade and other payables 

Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and 
which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are 
unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 

Current and non-current classification 

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. 

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Group's normal 
operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; 
or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after 
the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. 

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Group's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for 
the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the 
settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current. 

Investments and other financial assets 

Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial 
measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either 
amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within 
which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless an accounting mismatch is 
being avoided. 

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the Group has 
transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a 
financial asset, it's carrying value is written off. 

Financial assets at amortised cost 

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost only if both of the following conditions are met: (i) it is held within a business model 
whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and (ii) the contractual terms of the financial asset 
represent contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest. 

Impairment of financial assets 

The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised cost or 
fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the Group's assessment at 
the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, 
based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain. 

Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected credit loss 
allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event 
that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit 
risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected 
credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of 
the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate. 

For financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised in 
other comprehensive income with a corresponding expense through profit or loss. In all other cases, the loss allowance reduces the 
asset's carrying value with a corresponding expense through profit or loss. 

Financial costs 

Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in 
which they are incurred.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted 

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not 
been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2020. The Group's assessment of the impact of these 
new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Group, are set out below. 

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework) 

The revised Conceptual Framework is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and early adoption 
is permitted. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement 
that affects several Accounting Standards. Where the Group has relied on the existing framework in determining its accounting 
policies for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with under the Australian Accounting Standards, the Group 
may need to review such policies under the revised framework. At this time, the application of the Conceptual Framework is not 
expected to have a material impact on the Group's financial statements.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the members of 
Infomedia Ltd. 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We  have  audited  the  financial  report  of  Infomedia  Ltd  (the  “Company”)  and  its  subsidiaries  (the 
“Entity”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the 
consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income,  the  consolidated 
statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, 
and notes to the  financial statements,  including  a summary of significant accounting  policies  and 
other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration. 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Entity is in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001, including:  

(i)  

giving a true and fair view of the  Entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its 
financial performance for the year then ended; and   

(ii)  

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. 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  Entity  in  accordance  with  the  auditor 
independence  requirements  of  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  also  fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance 
with the Code.  

We  confirm that the  independence  declaration  required by  the  Corporations Act  2001, which has 
been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as 
at the time of this auditor’s report. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our opinion. 

Key Audit Matters  

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance 
in  our  audit  of  the  financial  report  for  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.

Key Audit Matter 

Capitalised labour development costs  
As at 30 June 2020, the Entity’s carrying 
value of the product and software 
development costs capitalised as 
intangibles totalled $44.6m of which 
$21.9m is attributable to capitalisation in 
the current financial year as disclosed in 
Note 6. 

Judgement  is  involved  in  determining  the 
quantum of labour costs directly attributable 
to  develop  the  Entity’s  product  suite  and 
software. 

Contingent Consideration  
As at 30 June 2020, the Entity has an 
contingent consideration liability of $3.7m 
which relates to its acquisition of Nidasu in 
FY19.  

Payments will be made to the seller if agreed 
net profit hurdles are met in future periods. 
Judgment  is  involved  in  forecasting  these 
cash flows and the discount rate applied in 
calculating the best estimate of the amount 
expected to settle the obligation.   

How the scope of our audit responded to the 
Key Audit Matter 
Our procedures included, but were not limited to: 
•  Holding discussions with department 

heads involved in product development to 
understand the basis and rationale for 
capitalising labour costs associated with 
key projects; 

• 

Testing on a sample basis, capitalised 
labour costs through reviewing timesheets 
and holding discussions with staff 
members outside the finance department;   

•  Assessing whether that all eligible 

employees are included and ineligible 
employees are excluded in the 
calculations, where appropriate; 

•  Challenging management’s key 

assumptions in the labour capitalisation 
calculation and estimated useful life; and 

• 

Testing the mathematical accuracy of 
management’s labour capitalisation 
schedule.  

We  also  assessed  the  appropriateness  of  the 
disclosure in Note 6 to the financial statements. 
Our procedures included, but were not limited to:  

•  Assessing management's contingent 

consideration calculations against the net 
profit hurdle stipulated in the signed share 
purchase agreement; 

•  Challenging the reasonableness of key 

assumptions included in the forecast cash 
flows including: 

o  Comparing historical budget 

forecasts against actual results; 

o  Comparing forecast growth to 

business plans approved by the 
Board; and 

o  Performing sensitivity analysis on 
the revenue growth assumptions 
to assess the impact on the 
forecasted cash flow.  

•  Recalculating the interest expense related 
to the net present value of contingent 
consideration; 

• 

Testing the mathematical accuracy of 
management’s contingent consideration 
calculation; and 

•  Assessing the accuracy of the 

classification of current and non-current 
contingent consideration liability disclosed. 
We  also  assessed  the  appropriateness  of  the 
disclosure in Note 15 to the financial statements.

AusIndustry is of the opinion that a portion 
the  Entity’s  2016  R&D  claims  related  to 
activities that were ‘ineligible R&D activities’ 
which  would  not  be  eligible  for  R&D  tax 
incentive.  The  potential  exposure  to  the 
Company for the 2016 income year is is tax 
of  $0.78m  and  interest  of  approximately 
$0.3m to 30 June 2020. 

The  Company  has  appointed  an  external 
tax expert and  on  the  17th  of  August 2020

information included in the Entity’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not 
include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.  

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

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, 
based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this 
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.  

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a 
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of 
the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether 
due to fraud or error.  

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Entity 
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using 
the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Entity or to 
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.  

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Our objectives are 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 the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material 
misstatement  when  it  exists.  Misstatements  can  arise  from  fraud  or  error  and  are  considered 
material  if,  individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  they  could  reasonably  be  expected  to  influence  the 
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. 

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional 
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:   

•

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due
to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain
audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk
of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting
from  error,  as 
intentional  omissions,
involve  collusion, 
fraud  may 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

forgery, 

• Obtain  an understanding  of  internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Entity’s internal control.

•

•

•

Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

Conclude  on  the  appropriateness  of  the  directors’  use  of  the  going  concern  basis  of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related  to  events  or  conditions  that  may  cast  significant  doubt  on  the  Entity’s  ability  to
continue  as  a  going  concern.  If  we  conclude  that  a  material  uncertainty  exists,  we  are
required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial
report  or,  if  such  disclosures  are  inadequate,  to  modify  our  opinion.  Our  conclusions  are
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future
events or conditions may cause the Entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the
disclosures,  and  whether  the  financial  report  represents  the  underlying  transactions  and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing 
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control 
that we identify during our audit.  

We  also  provide  the  directors  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical 
requirements regarding independence,  and to communicate with them  all relationships and other 
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions 
taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.  

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit 
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public 
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter 
should not  be  communicated  in  our  report because  the  adverse  consequences  of  doing  so  would 
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. 

Report on the Remuneration Report
