Comments 
The profit for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax amounted to $1,573,000 (30 June 2019: $2,652,000). 

With the lockdowns in all significant markets due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a material fall in revenue from 
traditional  face  to  face  lessons. This  has  been  offset  by  increased  usage  of  the  online  tutoring  options  available  on  our 
software  platform.  Overall  it  is  estimated  COVID-19  has  impacted  revenue  by  $2,400,000  and  reduced  net  profit  for  the 
year by $1,400,000 before taking into account government grants. 

AASB  16  'Leases'  had  no  significant  impact  on  the  current  period.  The  current  profit  before  income  tax  expense  was 
reduced by $32,000. This included an increased depreciation and amortisation expense of $478,000 and increased finance 
costs of $77,000, offset by a reduction in other expenses (reclassification of lease expenses) of $523,000. As at 30 June 
2020, net current assets were reduced by $532,000 (attributable to current lease liabilities) and net assets were reduced by 
$150,000 (attributable to right-of-use assets, less lease liabilities). 

The consolidated  entity has  increased its  monitoring  of  debt  recovery as there  is  an increased probability  of  franchisees 
and customers delaying payment or being unable to pay in the current environment. As a result, we have increased our 
allowance of expected credit losses as at 30 June 2020. 

Refer to Chairman's letter and Chief Executive Officer's report for further commentary. 

The earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation ('EBITDA') amounted to $5,208,000 (2019: $5,207,000). 

The  following  table  summarises  key  reconciling  items  between statutory  profit  after  tax  attributable  to  the  owners  of  Kip 
McGrath Education Centres and EBITDA.

Chairman's letter 
30 June 2020 

Dear Shareholders, 

I am pleased to report the company’s revenue for the year increased 5.3% to $17.1M due to the successful response to the 
impact of COVID-19, with EBITDA holding steady at $5.2M.  

Online tuition was a major contributor to this result, thanks to it being a long-term feature of our strategic plan. Whilst the pre 
COVID-19 take-up to online had previously been slower than expected, online lessons moved quickly during the outbreak 
from 550 lessons per week to over 20,000 lessons per week. The beauty of online is margins are higher, and students are 
more likely to stay in the system, with travel eliminated and the flexibility to fit in lessons with their daily routines. 

The corporate centres and corporate direct strategy contributed $1.4M in revenue for its first full year and was break even. 
Corporate centres adjusted quickly from face to face to online, however there was still an initial weekly reduction in student 
numbers from 600 to 400. The corporate centres now have over 770 students a week and growing at 15 students per week, 
supported by a staff of 50 and annual wage expense of $1M. 

Profit after tax reduced by 41% to $1.6M, principally  due to increases in depreciation and amortisation,  as  a result of the 
acquisitions  of  Master  Franchise  territories,  accelerating  head  office  staffing  costs  for  online  development,  offset  by 
Government subsidies received. 

The online software now replicates the face to face experience for the student. The tutors have learnt how to manage small 
groups of students remotely, using a very different experience to incentre. Now we have a global online and face to face 
business with flexibility to choose what is the safest and easiest option for the student and the tutor. This is a very different 
business to six months ago.  

The  successful  institutional  placement  in  June  of  $5.9M  was  oversubscribed.  These  funds  will  support  the  accelerated 
growth of our online platform and corporate centre strategies. We will be able to drive online revenue faster for franchisees 
and corporate centres, with part of these funds being used to complete the latest iteration of our online software which is 
compatible with touch screens, tablets and iPads. We are currently testing the software and believe it will be ready for global 
release early in 2021. 

During the year we completed the purchase of the Belconnen centre in Canberra and the purchase of the Yorkshire and the 
Humber Area Developer territories in the United Kingdom. These acquisitions totalled $1.3M and were part financed through 
borrowings.  

The company continues to be a profitable, cash generative tutoring business with substantial growth since 2011, based on a 
tailored  education  method  developed  over  the  company’s  45-year  history.  Our  online  platform  has  strengthened  lead 
management  and  onboarding,  whilst  our  improved  lesson  planning  with  new  curriculum  material,  enhances  the  learning 
platform. All regions are expected to see improvements as the lockdown eases and we return to a sense of normality, with 
leads generated and assessment bookings at an all-time high in July. 

Today,  the  Board  determined  to  pay  a  fully  franked  final  dividend  of  2  cents  per  share  on  29  September  2020  to  those 
shareholders on the register at 7pm on 15 September 2020.  

This  year’s  success  would  not  have  been  achieved  without  the  tireless  commitment  of  our  executive  team  and  the 
dedication of our Master Franchisees, Area Developers, Franchisees and all our staff worldwide. Thank you to all.

Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited 
Managing Director and CEO's report 
30 June 2020 

This year has been one of the most challenging years in the history of the company. We have seen a major movement to 
online  tutoring  and  encouraging  progress  with  our  Corporate  centre  initiative.  After  the  initial  lockdown,  our  key  markets 
experienced a 76% reduction in revenue. We reacted quickly in reducing non-core expenses and staff numbers, as well as 
mobilising our team in training our franchisees with our fit for purpose online tutoring system.  The results were immediate, 
such that our revenue for the year grew 5.3% to $17.1M and EBITDA held its line at $5.2M.   

Fortunately,  our  well-developed  online  tutoring  tools  were  already  advanced.  However,  prior  to  COVID-19,  the  worldwide 
tuition  market  engagement  was  slower  than  expected.  COVID-19  changed  all  that!  Over  500  centres  worldwide  are  now 
actively tutoring online. Overall student lessons online surged from 550 per week to over 20,000 per week. Student lessons 
bounced back 55% within a few weeks. On top of this significant change, our marketing collateral was refined to show the 
benefits online tutoring is able to offer. This was competed in 6 weeks. We are now seeing major areas of our business in 
and  out  of  lockdown.  Centres  are  pivoting  back  and  forth  as  best  they  can.  Some  franchisees  are  finding  the  challenge 
difficult and we have had 20 centre closures in the past 4 months. We have not been able to train new franchisees in the 
past 5 months, so sales for new franchisees are down for the year to 14 globally which is about half the normal levels.  

As we shifted to online, global revenue is getting back to normal levels, even with the significant reduction in revenue for the 
last quarter of approximately $2M.  

The corporate centres continue to grow with revenue at $1.45M for the year which would have been $200K more without the 
last  quarter  reductions.  With  the  new  advertising  and  parents  concern  for  their  children’s  education,  we  continue  to  see 
increased leads and assessment bookings. 

Overview of our major initiatives: 

1.  Gold Partner Franchisees 

We  have  296  active  Gold  Partners  which  is  an  increase  of  14  from  last  year.  Total  active  centre  numbers  are 
currently  521,  which  peaked  at  551  centres  pre  COVID-19  but  after  closures,  is  just  below  last  year’s  524  active 
centres.  The  situation  with  active  centres  is  very  fluid  with  COVID-19  and  we  expect  a  number  of  centres  may 
reopen once the lock down situation in various countries settles.

2.  Online Tutoring 

Online  tutoring  is  now  the  major  revenue  earner  for  the  company.  Lockdowns,  parents  working  from  home  and 
schools closed  has  meant  not  only  do  parents know what  online  tutoring  is,  for  a  lot  of  them  it  is  the  only  choice 
available.  Online  tutoring  is  also  a  much  more  scalable  option  and  with  4  years  head  start  building  the  online 
platform we have a significant advantage over the great majority of our competitors. Our bespoke system has may 
tools which are only useful for tutoring with content built in, whiteboard, seeing the questions the child is working on 
in real time. 

The number of online lessons versus face to face lessons fluctuates on a weekly basis due to lockdowns. Online 
lessons  in  Australia  are  at  50%  of  total  lessons.  New  Zealand  is  30%  but  this  will  change  depending  on  the 
Auckland  lockdown duration.  A major indicator of the concern parents  have  with the education of their children is 
that  the  UK  is  sitting  at  5,000  online  lessons  a  week  during  the  summer  holidays,  a  significant  increase  over  the 
prior year. 

3.  National Marketing 

The  Campaigns  in  Australia,  UK  and  New  Zealand  were  refined  with  an  increased  emphasis  on  online  tutoring. 
Initially  and  as  expected,  global  leads  dropped  significantly  early  in  the  lockdown.  With  the  release  of  the  new 
campaigns and increased focus on digital marketing, global leads are now at all-time highs.

4.  Technology Development 

With the outbreak of COVID-19 our development team has made online tutoring the focus, rather than face to face 
tutoring. We have also made changes to the old system to cope with such a large increase in online lessons. This 
has  delayed  our  release,  but  all  the  delays  were  necessary.  We  are  currently  trialling  the  new  online  tutoring 
software. We are working towards a global release early in 2021. The new technology will make the platform much 
more accessible for our customers and usability is enhanced. We believe this will help drive global student numbers.

5.  Acquisition of Master Franchise territories and Area Developers. 

The  purchase  of  Yorkshire  and  the  Humber  in  the  United  Kingdom  was  concluded  last  September.  Scotland 
remains the last of these acquisitions, which we aim to complete in the second quarter, once revenue trends settle 
down. 

6.  Corporate Centres and Corporate online direct 

Student numbers across corporate in Australia reached 600 a week in early March after the usual summer holiday 
reduction. After the lockdowns we emphasised the benefits of online, and after a reduction in student lessons, they 
are currently sitting at 770 in early August and growing at 15 per week.  

Our  advertising  investment  has  been  increased  which  will  accelerate  the  growth  in  this  sector.  The  first  full  year 
revenue was $1.4M and breakeven. We have planned for corporate centre revenue to double over the next twelve 
months. We will commence Corporate Online in the UK in September, advertising only, in areas where we do not 
have  a  franchisee.  We  believe  corporate  centres  can  be  a  great  way  of  testing  and  implementing  new  ideas  and 
initiatives reducing franchisees stress and risk. We also believe a good mixture of franchisees and corporate centres 
is a solid strategy for all.  

Outlook 
Whilst global student numbers remain down from pre COVID-19 lockdowns, the business continues to grow. Centres which 
have embraced the new paradigm are getting back to normal trade. Corporate and Corporate Direct are growing well and 
showing  franchisees  –  ‘it’s  a  new  world  with  plenty  of  opportunities  to  grow  and  prosper’.  We  expect  revenue,  profit  and 
profit margins will continue to grow through a combination of the ongoing development and automation of the software as a 
service, our national advertising campaigns and the option for students to choose between face to face and online tuition. 

I would like to thank the Franchisees, Master Franchisees, Area Developers, and employees for their hard work and support 
throughout  what  has  been  a  tumultuous  year.  I  would  also  like  to  thank  our  dedicated  and  motivating  teachers  and  the 
parents who continue to bring their children to Kip McGrath.  

We are committed to our motto that ‘every child can learn, they just have to be taught well’, and we will continue to do this 
for our current 40,000 students and the thousands who will join Kip McGrath in the future.

was determined to be paid on 17 September 2020 to those shareholders on the register at 7p.m. on 3 September 2020. 
The total distribution will be $1,036,385. 

Review of operations 
The profit for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax amounted to $1,573,000 (30 June 2019: $2,652,000). 

With the lockdowns in all significant markets due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a material fall in revenue from 
traditional  face  to  face  lessons. This  has  been  offset  by  increased  usage  of  the  online  tutoring  options  available  on  our 
software  platform.  Overall  it  is  estimated  COVID-19  has  impacted  revenue  by  $2,400,000  and  reduced  net  profit  for  the 
year by $1,400,000 before taking into account government grants. 

In June 2020, the company completed an Institutional Placement of 6,585,000 shares at 90 cents per share to raise a net 
$5,581,000 (see note 19) to fund an accelerate growth of the Kip Online platform.   

Revenue has grown by 5.3% to $17,110,000, with growth in student lesson fees from corporate centres offsetting a fall in 
franchise  fees. Student  lesson  fees  from  corporate  centres  were  up  470%  to  $1,425,000  following  the  acquisition  of  the 
Belconnen centre in August 2019 and the focus on the online Direct centre in Australia and New Zealand. Franchise fees 
fell 2% to $12,095,000 with COVID-19 impacting all key markets from March 2020. 

The pandemic resulted in a 6% fall in global attended lesson numbers from 1,527,000 in the prior year to 1,425,000 in the 
current financial year. Corporate Centre lessons in the Australasian market jumped from 4,400 last financial year to 22,600 
in  the  current  financial  year,  including  10,300  online  lessons. Australasian  franchisees  taught  350,800  lessons,  including 
81,000  online  but  overall,  this  was  down  8%  on  the  prior  year.  In  the  UK  market  the  franchise  network  taught  723,000 
lessons, down from 775,000 in the prior year however online lessons jumped significantly from 21,000 to over 174,000 in 
the current year.

Directors' report 
30 June 2020 

Gold Partners for Australia increased to 129 just prior to the pandemic but have now fallen to 121 with a number of centres 
ceasing operations. Total centres in Australia stand at 144. In the New Zealand market, there were 58 active centres, down 
slightly from 62 in the prior year. In the UK market, Gold Partners have fallen to 166, down from 181 active centres in the 
prior year. Currently 247 centres remain active in the UK market.   

The South African and Middle East markets saw a significant shut down with the pandemic with revenues falling by 22% to 
$838,000. At this point there has been minimal return to normal in those markets. 

AASB  16  'Leases'  had  no  significant  impact  on  the  current  period.  The  current  profit  before  income  tax  expense  was 
reduced by $32,000. This included an increased depreciation and amortisation expense of $478,000 and increased finance 
costs of $77,000, offset by a reduction in other expenses (reclassification of lease expenses) of $523,000. As at 30 June 
2020, net current assets were reduced by $532,000 (attributable to current lease liabilities) and net assets were reduced by 
$150,000 (attributable to right-of-use assets, less lease liabilities). 

The consolidated  entity has  increased its  monitoring  of  debt  recovery as there  is  an increased probability  of  franchisees 
and customers delaying payment or being unable to pay in the current environment. As a result, we have increased our 
allowance of expected credit losses as at 30 June 2020. 

The earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation ('EBITDA') amounted to $5,208,000 (2019: $5,207,000). 

The following table summarises key reconciling items between statutory profit after tax attributable to the shareholders of 
Kip McGrath Education Centres and EBITDA.

Significant changes in the state of affairs 
Apart  from  the  impact  of  COVID-19  noted  earlier,  there  were  no  other  significant  changes  in  the  state  of  affairs  of  the 
consolidated entity during the financial year. 

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year 
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing for the consolidated entity up to 30 June 2020, With ongoing waves in a 
number of key markets, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. 
The  situation  is  rapidly  developing  and  is  dependent  on  measures  imposed  by  the  relevant  Governments,  such  as 
maintaining  social  distancing  requirements,  quarantine,  travel  restrictions  and  any  economic  stimulus  that  may  be 
provided. 

Apart  from  the  dividend  as  discussed  above,  no  other  matter  or  circumstance  has  arisen  since  30  June  2020  that  has 
significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the 
consolidated entity's state of affairs in future financial years. 

Likely developments and expected results of operations 
The  company  has  commenced  operating  a  number  of  corporately  owned  education  centres  in  the  Australian  market  as 
part of a strategy to drive growth and greater franchisee engagement. More details are set out in the CEO’s Report. It is 
expected that future growth will continue to be in line with recent experience.

Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited 
Directors' report 
30 June 2020 

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 
The objective of the consolidated entity's executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive 
and  appropriate  for  the  results  delivered.  The  framework  aligns  executive  reward  with  the  achievement  of  strategic 
objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to market best practice for delivery of 
reward. The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices: 
● 
● 
● 
● 

 competitiveness and reasonableness; 
 acceptability to shareholders; 
 performance linkage / alignment of KMP compensation; and 
 transparency. 

The Remuneration Committee ('RC') is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its KMP. 
The performance of the consolidated entity depends on the quality of its KMP. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, 
motivate and retain high performance and high quality personnel. 

The remuneration committee makes recommendations to the Board in relation to remuneration of non-executive directors, 
and  establishes,  reviews  and  approves  remuneration  terms  and  the  performance  of  the  chief  executive  officer.  The 
committee  also  assists  the  chief  executive  officer  in  the  remuneration  review  of  senior  executives  and  sets  the 
remuneration package of the chief executive officer for approval by the Board. 

In  accordance  with  best  practice  corporate  governance,  the  structure  of  non-executive  director  and  executive  director 
remuneration is separate. 

Non-executive directors' remuneration 
Fees  and  payments  to  non-executive  directors  reflect  the  demands  which  are  made  on,  and  the  responsibilities  of,  the 
directors.  Non-executive  directors'  fees  and  payments  are  reviewed  annually  by  the  RC.  The  committee  may  take  the 
advice of independent remuneration consultants to ensure non-executive directors' fees and payments are appropriate and 
in line with the market. The fees for the chair of the Board are determined independently to the fees of other non-executive 
directors based on comparative roles in the external market. Non-executive directors do not receive share options or other 
incentives. 

ASX listing rules requires that the aggregate non-executive directors' remuneration be determined periodically by a general 
meeting.  The  most  recent  determination  was  at  the  Annual  General  Meeting  held  on  20  November  2015,  where  the 
shareholders approved a maximum aggregate remuneration of $400,000. 

Executive remuneration 
The  consolidated  entity  aims  to  reward  KMP  based  on  their  position  and  responsibility,  with  a  level  and  mix  of 
remuneration, which has both fixed and variable components. 

The KMP remuneration and reward framework has four components: 
● 
● 
● 
● 

 base pay and non-monetary benefits; 
 short-term performance incentives; 
 share-based payments; and 
 other remuneration, such as superannuation and long service leave. 

The combination of these comprises the KMP's total remuneration. 

Fixed remuneration, consisting  of  base salary,  superannuation  and  non-monetary benefits, are  reviewed  annually by the 
RC, based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the consolidated entity and comparable 
market remuneration. 

KMPs can receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle benefits) 
where it does not create any additional costs to the consolidated entity and adds additional value to the KMP. 

The  short-term  incentives  ('STI')  program  is  designed  to  align  the  targets  of  the  business  units  with  the  performance 
hurdles  of  executives.  STI  payments  are  granted  to  executives  based  on  specific  annual  targets  and  key  performance 
indicators  ('KPI')  being  achieved.  KPI’s  for  the  chief  executive  officer  are  set  by  the  RC  and  currently  focus  on  the 
consolidated entity's financial performance measured by reference to annual after-tax profit. The KPI's of other executives 
are set by the chief executive officer and are reviewed in consultation with the chair of the Board.

Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited 
Directors' report 
30 June 2020 

Long-term incentives ('LTI') include share options and long service leave. An employee share option plan was approved by 
shareholders  in  2012,  the  objective  of  which  is  to  assist  in  the  recruitment,  reward,  retention  and  motivation  of  key 
employees  and  directors  by  facilitating  the  offering  of  options  over  ordinary  shares,  subject  to  performance  and  loyalty 
hurdles.  The  plan  aims  to  give  selected  employees  and  directors  the  opportunity  to  share  in  the  future  growth  and 
profitability of the company by better aligning their interests with those of shareholders and provides greater incentive for 
them to work towards achieving the longer term goals of the company.  

Under the plan, the board has discretion to decide which full or part-time employees or directors of the company (or related 
body  corporate)  will  be  invited  to  acquire  options,  the  number  of  options  to  be  offered,  any  vesting  conditions  such  as 
performance targets or minimum vesting periods, the applicable exercise price (which must be at least equal to the market 
value of shares at the time of the offer), and any other terms of issue.  

Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration 
KMP  remuneration  is  linked  to  the  performance  of  the  consolidated  entity.  Bonus  and  incentive  payments  are  at  the 
discretion of the Board. Refer to the section 'Additional information' below for details of the earnings and total shareholders 
return for the last five years. 

Use of remuneration consultants 
The consolidated entity did not engage the use of a remuneration consultant during the financial year ended 30 June 2020. 

Voting and comments made at the company's 2019 Annual General Meeting ('AGM') 
At the 2019 AGM, 99% of the shareholders voted to adopt the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2019. The 
company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

Directors' report 
30 June 2020

 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  (including  Independence  Standards)  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. 

● 

Officers of the company who are former partners of PKF Newcastle 
There are no officers of the company who are former partners of PKF Newcastle. 

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 instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar. 

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. 

Auditor 
PKF Newcastle continues in office in accordance with section 327 of the Corporations Act 2001. 

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

Annual Report 2020  |  Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited    ABN 73 003 415 889Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited 
Corporate Governance Statement 
30 June 2020 

This  Corporate  Governance  Statement  of  Kip  McGrath  Education  Centres  Limited  (the  ‘company’)  has  been  prepared  in 
accordance  with  the  3rd  Edition  of  the  Australian  Securities  Exchange’s  (‘ASX’)  Corporate  Governance  Principles  and 
Recommendations of the ASX Corporate Governance Council (‘ASX Principles and Recommendations’) and is included in 
the  company’s  Annual  Report  pursuant  to  ASX  Listing  Rule  4.10.3.  This  listing  rule  requires  the  company  to  disclose  the 
extent to which it has followed the recommendations during the financial year, including reasons where the company has not 
followed a recommendation and any related alternative governance practice adopted. 

Both this Corporate Governance Statement and the ASX Appendix 4G have been lodged with the ASX. This statement has 
been approved by the company’s Board of Directors (‘Board’) and is current as at 25 August 2020. 

The  ASX  Principles  and  Recommendations  and  the  company’s  response  as  to  how  and  whether  it  follows  those 
recommendations are set out below. 

Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight 

Recommendation  1.1  -  A  listed  entity  should  disclose:  (a)  the  respective  roles  and  responsibilities  of  its  board  and 
management; and (b) those matters expressly reserved to the board and those delegated to management.

The  Board  is  ultimately  accountable  for  the  performance  of  the  company  and  provides  leadership  and  sets  the  strategic 
objectives of the company. It appoints all senior executives and assesses their performance on at least an annual basis. It is 
responsible for overseeing all corporate reporting systems, remuneration frameworks, governance issues, and stakeholder 
communications. Decisions reserved for the Board relate to those that have a fundamental impact on the company, such as 
material  acquisitions  and  takeovers,  dividends  and  buy-backs,  material  profits  upgrades  and  downgrades,  and  significant 
closures. 

Management is responsible for implementing Board strategy, day-to-day operational aspects, and ensuring that all risks and 
performance issues are brought to the Boards attention. They must operate within the risk and authorisation parameters set 
by the Board. 

Recommendation  1.2  -  A  listed  entity  should:  (a)  undertake  appropriate  checks  before  appointing  a  person,  or  putting 
forward  to  security  holders  a  candidate  for  election,  as  a  director;  and  (b)  provide  security  holders  with  all  material 
information in its possession relevant to a decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect a director. 

The company undertakes comprehensive reference checks prior to appointing a director, or putting that person forward as a 
candidate,  to  ensure  that  person  is  competent,  experienced,  and  would  not  be  impaired  in  any  way  from  undertaking  the 
duties of director. The company provides relevant information to shareholders for their consideration about the attributes of 
candidates together with whether the Board supports the appointment or re-election. 

Recommendation 1.3 - A listed entity should have a written agreement with each director and senior executive setting out 
the terms of their appointment. 

The terms of the appointment of non-executive directors, executive directors and senior executives are agreed upon and set 
out in writing at the time of appointment.  

Recommendation  1.4  -  The  company  secretary  of  a  listed  entity  should  be  accountable  directly  to  the  board,  through  the 
chair, on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the board.

The Company Secretary reports directly to the Board through the Chairman on all matters to do with the proper functioning 
of the board and is accessible to all directors.  

Recommendation  1.5  -  A  listed  entity  should  (a)  have  a  diversity  policy  which  includes  requirements  for  the  board  or  a 
relevant committee of the board to set measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity and to assess annually both the 
objectives and the entity’s progress in achieving them; (b) disclose that policy or a summary of it; and (c) disclose as at the
end  of  each  reporting  period  the  measurable  objectives  for  achieving  gender  diversity  set  by  the  board  or  a  relevant 
committee of the board in accordance with the entity’s diversity policy and its progress towards achieving them, and either: 
(1)  the  respective  proportions  of  men  and  women  on  the  Board,  in  senior  executive  positions  and  across  the  whole 
organisation (including how the entity has  defined  “senior  executive” for  these  purposes); or  (2) if the  entity is a “relevant 
employer” under the Workplace Gender Equality Act, the entity’s most recent “Gender Equality Indicators”, as defined in and 
published under that Act.

Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited 
Corporate Governance Statement 
30 June 2020 

The company has a diversity policy approved by the Board, which includes requirements for the Board to set measurable 
objectives for achieving diversity, including gender, and to assess annually both the objectives and the entity’s progress in 
achieving them. 

The  company  is  committed  to  providing  an  inclusive  workplace  and  recognises  the  value  individuals  with  diverse  skills, 
values,  backgrounds  and  experiences  bring  to  the  company.  As  a  global  provider  of  education  services,  the  company  is 
committed to equality and respect in all locations it operates.  

Diversity  is  recognising  and  valuing  the  unique  contribution  people  can  make  because  of  their  individual  background  and 
different  skills,  experiences  and  perspectives.  People  differ  not  just  on  the  basis  of  race  and  gender,  but  also  other 
dimensions such as lifestyle, education, physical ability, age, and family responsibility. 

The  Board’s  measurable objective  about  gender  diversity  is  to  progressively  increase  the  portion  of  women  in  Board  and 
Senior Executive roles and this objective is being continually reviewed. As at the date of this report the proportion of women 
to men was as follows: 

Proportion of 
women 

Proportion of  
men 

On the board 
In senior executive positions 
Across the whole organisation 

25% 
33% 
67% 

75% 
67% 
33% 

For this purpose, the Board defines a senior executive as a person who makes, or participates in the making of, decisions 
that affect the whole or a substantial part of the business or has the capacity to affect significantly the company’s financial 
standing.  This  therefore  includes  all  senior  management  and  senior  executive  designated  positions  as  well  as  senior 
specialised professionals. 

No entity within the consolidated entity is a ‘relevant employer’ for the purposes of the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012 
and therefore there are no Gender Equality Indicators to be disclosed. 

Recommendation 1.6 - A listed entity should (a) have and disclose a process for periodically evaluating the performance of 
the  Board,  its  committees  and  individual  directors;  and  (b)  disclose,  in  relation  to  each  reporting  period,  whether  a 
performance evaluation was undertaken in the reporting period in accordance with that process. 

The  company  does  not  currently  have  a  formal  process  for  evaluating  the  performance  of  the  Board,  its  committees  or 
individual  directors.  The  Board  conducts  an  introspective  annual  discussion  of  its  performance  on  a  collective  basis  to 
identify general aspects of its performance that could be improved upon, and such analysis includes the roles played by 
each Board member. Such reviews therefore encapsulate collective discussion around the performance of individual Board 
members, their roles on specific projects during the financial year, and where relevant, how their role could be modified or 
suggestions for individual development or performance improvement for the future.  

Until such time as the company expands to justify an expansion of Board members, the Board is of the current opinion that 
such performance evaluation is suitable for the company. 

Recommendation 1.7 - A listed entity should (a) have and disclose a process for periodically evaluating the performance of 
its  senior  executives;  and  (b)  disclose,  in  relation  to  each  reporting  period,  whether  a  performance  evaluation  was 
undertaken in the reporting period in accordance with that process. 

The Board conducts an annual performance assessment of the CEO against agreed performance measures determined at 
the start of the year. The CEO undertakes the same assessments of senior executives. In assessing the performance of the 
individual,  the  review  includes  consideration  of  the  senior  executive’s  function,  individual  targets,  group  targets,  and  the 
overall performance of the company. The most recent review was completed in July 2020. 

Principle 2: Structure the board to add value 

Recommendation  2.1  -  The  board  of  a  listed  entity  should  (a)  have  a  nomination  committee  which:  (1)  has  at  least  three 
members, a majority of whom are independent directors; and (2) is chaired by an independent director, and disclose: (3) the 
charter of the committee; (4) the members of the committee; and (5) as at the end of each reporting period, the number of 
times the committee met throughout the period and the individual attendances of the members at those meetings; or (b) if it 
does not have a nomination committee, disclose that fact and the processes it employs to address Board succession issues 
and to ensure that the board has the appropriate balance of skills, knowledge, experience, independence and diversity to 
enable it to discharge its duties and responsibilities effectively.

Corporate Governance Statement 
30 June 2020 

The Board does not maintain a Nomination Committee as it is considered that the current size of the Board does not warrant 
the  formal  establishment  of  a  separate  committee.  The  Board  therefore  performs  the  function  of  such  a  committee  which 
includes the identification of skills and competencies required for the Board and related committees, as well as nomination, 
selection and performance evaluation of non-executive directors. The Board does not actively manage succession planning 
and  instead  relies  upon  the  Board’s  extensive  networking  capabilities  and/or  executive  recruitment  firms  to  identify 
appropriate candidates when a Board vacancy occurs or when a vacancy is otherwise envisaged. Attributes of candidates 
put forward will be considered for ‘best-fit’ to the needs of the Board which are assessed at the time of the vacancy. 

Recommendation 2.2 - A listed entity should have and disclose a board skills matrix setting out the mix of skills and diversity
that the board currently has or is looking to achieve in its membership. 

The  Board  does  not  maintain  a  formal  skills  matrix  that  sets  out  the  mix  of  skills  and  diversity  that  the  Board  aims  to 
achieve in its membership. The current Board members represent individuals that have extensive industry experience as 
well  as  professionals  that  bring  to  the  Board  their  specific  skills  in  order  for  the  company  to  achieve  its  strategic, 
operational and compliance objectives. Their suitability to the directorship has therefore been determined primarily on the 
basis of their ability to deliver outcomes in accordance with the company’s short and longer term objectives and therefore 
deliver value to shareholders. 

External consultants may be brought in with specialist knowledge to address areas where this is an attribute deficiency in 
the Board. 

All Board members are expected to be able to demonstrate the following attributes: 

Board member

Leadership 

Ethics and integrity

and  community  level;  ability  to  identify  independence  conflicts;  applies  sound

form; an effective communicator with executives.  

Negotiation  skills  which  engender  stakeholder  support  for  implementing  Board 
decisions. 

Experienced director that is familiar with the mechanisms, controls and channels 
to deliver effective governance and manage risks. 

Recommendation  2.3  -  A  listed  entity  should  disclose:  (a)  the  names  of  the  directors  considered  by  the  board  to  be 
independent directors; (b) if a director has an interest, position, association or relationship of the type described in Box 2.3
but  the  board  is  of  the  opinion  that  it  does  not  compromise  the  independence  of  the  director,  the  nature  of  the  interest, 
position, association or relationship in question and an explanation of why the board is of that opinion; and (c) the length of
service of each director.

Recommendation 2.4 - A majority of the board of a listed entity should be independent directors. 

Having  regard  to  the  response  to  Recommendation  2.3  above,  the  majority  of  the  Board  at  the  reporting  date  were 
independent. 

Recommendation 2.5 - The Chair of the board of a listed entity should be an independent director and, in particular, should 
not be the same person as the CEO of the entity. 

Ian Campbell is Chair of the Board from 5 August 2019 and does not hold the position of CEO of the company. The CEO is 
Storm McGrath. 

Recommendation  2.6  -  A  listed  entity  should  have  a  program  for  inducting  new  directors  and  provide  appropriate 
professional development opportunities for directors to develop and  maintain  the skills and  knowledge  needed to perform 
their role as directors effectively. 

New directors undertake an induction program coordinated by the Company Secretary that briefs and informs the director on 
all  relevant  aspects  of  the  company’s  operations  and  background.  A  director  development  program  is  also  available  to 
ensure that directors can enhance their skills and remain abreast of important developments. 

Principle 3: Act ethically and responsibly 

Recommendation 3.1 - A listed entity should: (a) have a code of conduct for its directors, senior executives and employees; 
and (b) disclose that code or a summary of it. 

The  company  maintains  a  code  of  conduct  for  its  directors,  senior  executives  and  employees.  In  summary,  the  code 
requires that each person act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the company; exercise a duty of care; use 
the powers of office in the best interests of the company and not for personal gain; declare any conflict of interest; safeguard 
company’s assets and information; and not undertake any action that may jeopardise the reputation of company.

During the year the Committee consisted entirely of non-executive directors, Ian Campbell, Diane Pass, and Trevor Folsom. 
The chairperson, Ian Campbell, is also the Board chair and is an independent director during the financial year ended 30 
June  2020.    Ian  Campbell has remained  Audit  Committee  Chair due  to  his  extensive  experience  and qualifications  in  the 
audit sector. 

The number of Committee meetings held and attended by each member is disclosed in the ‘Meetings of directors’ section of 
the Directors’  

Details  of  the  qualifications  and  experience  of  the  members  of  the  Committee  is  detailed  in  the  ‘Information  of  directors’ 
section of the Directors’ report. 

Recommendation 4.2 - The board of a listed entity should, before it approves the entity’s financial statements for a financial 
period,  receive  from  its  CEO  and  CFO  a  declaration  that,  in  their  opinion,  the  financial  records  of  the  entity  have  been 
properly maintained and that the financial statements comply with the appropriate accounting standards and give a true and 
fair view of the financial position and performance of the entity and that the opinion has been formed on the basis of a sound 
system of risk management and internal control which is operating effectively. 

For  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2020  and  the  half-year  ended  31  December  2019,  the  company’s  CEO  and  CFO 
provided the Board with the required declarations. 

Recommendation  4.3  -  A  listed  entity  that  has  an  AGM  should  ensure  that  its  external  auditor  attends  its  AGM  and  is 
available to answer questions from security holders relevant to the audit. 

The audit engagement partner attends the AGM and is available to answer shareholder questions relevant to the audit. 

Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure 

Recommendation 5.1 - A listed entity should (a) have a written policy for complying with its continuous disclosure obligations 
under the Listing Rules; and (b) disclose that policy or a summary of it. 

The company maintains a written policy that outlines the responsibilities relating to the directors, officers and employees in 
complying with the company’s disclosure obligations. Where any such person, is of any doubt, as to whether they possess 
information that could be classified as market sensitive, they are required to notify the Company Secretary immediately in 
the  first  instance.  The  Company  Secretary  is  required  to  consult  with  the  Chairman  in  relation  to  matters  brought  to  his 
attention for potential announcement. Generally, the Chairman is ultimately responsible for decisions relating to the making 
of market announcements. The Board is required to authorise announcements of significance to the company. No member 
of the company shall disclose market sensitive information to any person unless they have received acknowledgement from 
the ASX that the information has been released to the market.

Principle 6: Respect the rights of security holders 

Recommendation 6.1 - A listed entity should provide information about itself and its governance to investors via its website. 

The company  maintains  information  in  relation  to  the  board  of directors,  share  registry,  ASX  announcements and  contact 
details on the company’s website. 

Recommendations 6.2 and 6.3

Corporate Governance Statement 
30 June 2020 

The  company  does  not  have  a  formal  investor  relations  program.  The  Board,  CEO  and  Company  Secretary  engage  with 
investors at the AGM and respond to shareholder enquiry on an ad hoc basis. Material communications are dispatched to 
investors either via email, surface mail, and/or via market announcement. 

Recommendation  6.4  -  A  listed  entity  should  give  security  holders  the  option  to  receive  communications  from,  and  send 
communications to, the entity and its security registry electronically. 

The  company  engages  its  share  registry  to  manage  the  majority  of  communications  with  shareholders.  Shareholders  are 
encouraged to receive correspondence from the company electronically, thereby facilitating a more effective, efficient and 
environmentally  friendly  communication  mechanism  with  shareholders.  Shareholders  not  already  receiving  information 
electronically can elect to do so through the share registry, Computershare www-au.computershare.com.

Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk 

Recommendations 7.1 & 7.2 

The board of a listed entity should: (a) have a committee or committees to oversee risk, each of which: (1) has at least three 
members, a majority of whom are independent directors; and (2) is chaired by an independent director, and disclose: (3) the 
charter of the committee; (4) the members of the committee; and (5) as at the end of each reporting period, the number of 
times the committee met throughout the period and the individual attendances of the members at those meetings; or (b) if it 
does  not  have  a  risk  committee  or  committees  that  satisfy  (a)  above,  disclose  that  fact  and  the  processes  it  employs  for 
overseeing the entity’s risk management framework (7.1). 

The board or a committee of the board should: (a) review the entity’s risk management framework at least annually to satisfy 
itself that it continues to be sound; and (b) disclose, in relation to each reporting period, whether such a review has taken 
place (7.2). 

The company does not maintain a Risk Committee as it is considered that the current size of the Board does not warrant the 
formal establishment of a separate committee. The Board and Audit Committee therefore performs the function of such a 
committee  which  includes  setting  of  corporate  governance  policy  and  exercising  due  care  and  skill  in  assessing  risk, 
developing  strategies  to  mitigate  such  risk,  monitoring  the  risk  and  the  company’s  effectiveness  in  managing  it.  The 
company maintains internal controls which assist in managing enterprise risk, and these are reviewed as part of the scope 
of  the  external  audit,  with  the  auditor  providing  the  Board  with  commentary  on  their  effectiveness  and  the  need  for  any 
additional controls. The CEO and CFO are responsible for monitoring operational risk, ensuring all relevant insurances are 
in  place,  and  ensuring  that  all  regulatory  and  compliance  obligations  of  the  company  are  satisfied.  The  last  review  was 
completed in August 2020. 

Recommendation 7.3 - A listed entity should disclose: (a) if it has an internal audit function, how the function is structured 
and  what  role  it  performs;  or  (b)  if  it  does  not  have  an  internal  audit  function,  that  fact  and  the  processes  it  employs  for 
evaluating and continually improving the effectiveness of its risk management and internal control processes. 

The company did not have a dedicated internal audit function during the year ending 30 June 2020. The responsibility for 
risk management and internal controls lies with both the CEO and CFO who continually monitor the company’s internal and 
external  risk  environment.  Necessary  action  is  taken  to  protect  the  integrity  of  the  company’s  books  and  records  through 
design  and  implementation  of  internal  controls  and  operational  efficiencies,  mitigation  of  risks,  and  safeguard  of  the 
company assets. 

From 1 July 2020, an independent accounting firm has been appointed to establish an internal audit function. 

Recommendation 7.4 - A listed entity should disclose whether it has any material exposure to economic, environmental and 
social sustainability risks and, if it does, how it manages or intends to manage those risks. 

As at the date of reporting the company continues to be exposed to the significant operational and economic risks posed by 
the COVID-19 pandemic.  These risks are being managed through active engagement with franchisees and customers to 
mitigate the operational risks of the pandemic, as well as prudent management of the organisation to mitigate the economic 
risks.  The pivot to the online capability in the business has been a significant part of the company’s response to these risks. 

As  at  the  date  of  reporting  the  company  does  not  consider  it  has  any  material  exposures  to  any  other  economic, 
environmental  or  social  sustainability  risks.  Refer  to  commentary at  Recommendations  7.1  and  7.2  for  information  on  the 
company’s risk management framework.

Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly 

Recommendation 8.1 - The board of a listed entity should: (a) have a remuneration committee which: (1) has at least three 
members, a majority of whom are independent directors; and (2) is chaired by an independent director, and disclose: (3) the 
charter of the committee; (4) the members of the committee; and (5) as at the end of each reporting period, the number of 
times the committee met throughout the period and the individual attendances of the members at those meetings; or (b) if it 
does  not  have  a  remuneration  committee,  disclose  that  fact  and  the  processes  it  employs  for  setting  the  level  and 
composition of remuneration for directors and senior executives and ensuring that such remuneration is appropriate and not 
excessive. 

The Board maintains a Remuneration Committee, whose members during the financial year, were as follows:  

Director’s Name 

Executive Status 

Independence Status 

Diane Pass – Chair 
Ian Campbell  
Trevor Folsom 

Non-Executive Director 
Non-Executive Chairman 
Non-Executive Director 

Independent 
Independent

The Committee consists entirely of non-executive directors, Ian Campbell, Diane Pass and Trevor Folsom. The chairperson, 
Diane Pass is not Board chair and is an independent director.   The number of Committee meetings held and attended by 
each member is disclosed in the ‘Meetings of directors’ section of the Directors’ report. 

The Board has established the committee under formal Charter. 

Recommendation  8.2  -  A  listed  entity  should  separately  disclose  its  policies  and  practices  regarding  the  remuneration  of 
non-executive directors and the remuneration of executive directors and other senior executives. 

The Committee reviews remuneration packages and policies applicable to the CEO and senior executives. This may include 
share  schemes,  incentive  performance  packages,  superannuation  entitlements,  retirement  and  termination  entitlements, 
fringe benefit policies and professional indemnity and liability insurance policies. External advice is sought as appropriate.  

Further  details  of  directors’  and  executives’  remuneration,  superannuation  and  retirement  payments  are  set  out  in  the 
remuneration  report  which  forms  part  of  the  directors’  report.  The  CEO  is  invited  to  committee  meetings,  as  required,  to 
discuss management performance and remuneration packages. 

Non-executive  directors  do  not  receive  incentive  payments  or  retirement  benefits  (other  than  statutory  superannuation). 
Equity-based remuneration is not a standard component of executive remuneration agreements. Any future equity issued to 
executives or non-executives as remuneration will be approved at the annual general meeting of shareholders. 

No senior executive is involved directly in deciding their own remuneration. 

Recommendation 8.3 - A listed entity which has an equity-based remuneration scheme should: (a) have a policy on whether 
participants  are  permitted  to  enter  into  transactions  (whether  through  the  use  of  derivatives  or  otherwise)  which  limit  the 
economic risk of participating in the scheme; and (b) disclose that policy or a summary of it 

The  use  of  derivatives  or  other  hedging  arrangements  for  unvested  securities  of  the  company  or  vested  securities  of  the 
company  which  are  subject  to  escrow  arrangements  is  prohibited.  Where  a  director  or  other  senior  executive  uses 
derivatives or other hedging arrangements over vested securities of the company, this will be disclosed.

Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2020 

Note 1. Significant accounting policies 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies 
have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted 
The consolidated  entity 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. The adoption of these 
Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant  impact on the  financial  performance or position of 
the consolidated entity. 

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 consolidated entity: 

AASB 16 Leases 
The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees 
eliminates the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Except for short-term leases and leases of low-value 
assets, right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position. Straight-
line  operating  lease  expense  recognition  is  replaced  with  a  depreciation  charge  for  the  right-of-use  assets  (included  in 
operating  costs)  and  an  interest  expense  on  the  recognised  lease  liabilities  (included  in  finance  costs).  In  the  earlier 
periods  of  the  lease,  the  expenses  associated  with  the  lease  under  AASB  16  will  be  higher  when  compared  to  lease 
expenses  under  AASB  117.  However,  EBITDA  (Earnings  Before  Interest,  Tax,  Depreciation  and  Amortisation)  results 
improve as the operating expense is now replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss. For classification 
within the statement of cash flows, the interest portion is disclosed in operating activities and the principal portion of the 
lease payments are separately disclosed in financing activities. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially 
change how a lessor accounts for leases. 

Impact of adoption 
AASB 16 was adopted using the modified retrospective approach and as such the comparatives have not been restated. 
The impact of adoption on opening retained profits as at 1 July 2019 was nil as follows: 

Operating lease commitments as at 1 July 2019 (AASB 117) 
Operating lease commitments discount based on the weighted average incremental borrowing rate of 5% 
(AASB 16) 
Short-term leases not recognised as a right-of-use asset (AASB 16) 
Lease extensions recognised under AASB 16 
Leases not commencing until after 1 July 2019 
Right-of-use assets (AASB 16) 

Lease liabilities - current (AASB 16) 
Lease liabilities - non-current (AASB 16) 

Reduction in opening retained profits as at 1 July 2019

Practical expedients applied 
In adopting AASB 16, the consolidated entity has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard: 
● 
● 

 applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics; 
 accounted for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 July 2019 as short-term 
leases; 
 excluded initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application; and 
 used hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2020 

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

AASB 2020-4 Amendment to Australian Accounting Standards - COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions 
The  consolidated  entity  has  early  adopted  the  amendment  to  AASB  16  from  1  July  2019.  The  amendment  provides  a 
practical expedient  for lessees to account  for COVID-19-related  rent concessions that: result in  lease payments  that are 
substantially  the  same  as,  or  less  than,  the  consideration  for  the  lease  immediately  prior  to  the  change;  where  any 
reduction in the lease payments  affects  only payments originally  due on  or before 30 June  2021; and where there is no 
substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease. The practical expedient allows an entity not to assess rent 
concessions  meeting  the  criteria  as  a  lease  modification.  As  a  result,  to  the  extent  that  lease  concessions  represent  a 
forgiveness or waiver of lease payments, such concessions are treated as variable lease payments recognised in profit or 
loss with a corresponding adjustment to the lease liability. To the extent that the lease concession in substance represents 
a delay in lease repayments such that lease consideration is not changed, the lease liability is not extinguished. Interest 
continues to accrue for that period. The consolidated entity has applied the practical expedient to all rent concessions that 
meet the abovementioned criteria and the profit or loss impact from the adoption of this amendment is detailed in note 6. 

Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax 
The  consolidated  entity  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  consolidated  entity  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 consolidated 
entity  to  consider  whether  it  is  probable  that  a  taxation  authority  will  accept  an  uncertain  tax  treatment;  and  if  the 
consolidated entity 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. 

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 ('IASB'). 

Historical cost convention 
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

Critical accounting estimates 
The  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  requires  the  use  of  certain  critical  accounting  estimates.  It  also  requires 
management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas 
involving  a  higher  degree  of  judgement  or  complexity,  or  areas  where  assumptions  and  estimates  are  significant  to  the 
financial statements, are disclosed in note 2. 

Parent entity information 
In  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  these  financial  statements  present  the  results  of  the  consolidated  entity 
only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 29. 

Principles of consolidation 
The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  all  subsidiaries  of  Kip  McGrath  Education 
Centres Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. 
Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 
'consolidated entity'. 

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity 
when the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control 
ceases.

Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited 
Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2020 

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are 
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset 
transferred.  Accounting  policies  of  subsidiaries  have  been  changed  where  necessary  to  ensure  consistency  with  the 
policies adopted by the consolidated entity. 

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, 
without  the  loss  of  control,  is  accounted  for  as  an  equity  transaction,  where  the  difference  between  the  consideration 
transferred  and  the  book  value  of  the  share  of  the  non-controlling  interest  acquired  is  recognised  directly  in  equity 
attributable to the parent. 

Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and 
non-controlling  interest  in  the  subsidiary  together  with  any  cumulative  translation  differences  recognised  in  equity.  The 
consolidated  entity  recognises  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  received  and  the  fair  value  of  any  investment  retained 
together with any gain or loss in profit or loss. 

Operating segments 
Operating  segments  are  presented  using  the  'management  approach',  where  the  information  presented  is  on  the  same 
basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the 
allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance. 

Foreign currency translation 
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited's functional 
and presentation currency. 

Foreign currency transactions 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the entity’s functional currency 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. 

Foreign operations 
The  assets  and  liabilities  of  foreign  operations  are  translated  into  Australian  dollars  using  the  exchange  rates  at  the 
reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the 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. 

Revenue recognition 
The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows: 

Revenue from contracts with customers 
Revenue  is  recognised  at  an  amount  that  reflects  the  consideration  to  which  the  consolidated  entity  is  expected  to  be 
entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the consolidated 
entity:  identifies  the  contract  with  a  customer;  identifies  the  performance  obligations  in  the  contract;  determines  the 
transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the 
transaction  price  to  the  separate  performance  obligations  on  the  basis  of  the  relative  stand-alone  selling  price  of  each 
distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a 
manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised. 

Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, 
rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates 
are  determined  using  either  the  'expected  value'  or  'most  likely  amount'  method.  The  measurement  of  variable 
consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly 
probable  that  a  significant  reversal  in  the  amount  of  cumulative  revenue  recognised  will  not  occur.  The  measurement 
constraint  continues  until  the  uncertainty  associated  with  the  variable  consideration  is  subsequently  resolved.  Amounts 
received that are subject to the constraining principle are initially recognised as deferred revenue in the form of a separate 
refund liability.

Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2020 

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Franchise fees 
Revenue from franchise fees derived from franchise operations are recognised on a weekly or monthly basis, depending 
on the underlying contract with the franchisee. The contractual obligations primarily include providing access to software 
and franchisee systems on an ongoing basis through the life of the franchise contract as well as marketing, development 
and administrative support services. The consideration is variable in nature depending on the contract with the franchisee 
and the volume of lessons being provided. 

Sales of master territories and franchisee centres 
Revenue from contracts for the sale of master franchise  territories  are  recognised  over  time as services are provided to 
establish the master territory during the first term of the contract. Revenue from contracts for the sale of new centres are 
recognised over time as services are provided to establish the centre during the first term of the contract. Services to train 
new  franchisees  are recognised  at  the  time  of  satisfactory  completion  of  formal  induction  and  training  programmes.  The 
contractual obligations over time primarily relate to the development, support and training required to assist a franchisee in 
the establishment of a new centre in a territory and are typically discharged within the first period of the franchise contract 
(over no more than five or six years depending on the country of operation). Typically the payment is received upfront and 
the services are delivered over the contract term therefore giving rise to the recognition of a contract liability. 

National advertising contributions ('NAC') 
Revenue from national advertising contributions from franchisees is recognised on a weekly or monthly basis, depending 
on the underlying contract with the franchisee and whether the marketing services and activities relating to the contribution 
have been provided. The contractual obligations are to provide marketing activities through various channels in support of 
the franchise network. 

Direct sales 
Direct sales revenue includes fees for the provision of payment gateway and ancillary franchise software services as well 
as  the  sale  of  educational  materials  and  promotional  products.  Revenue  from  payment  gateway  and  ancillary  franchise 
software services  is recognised  on a  weekly basis as the services are provided to franchises. Revenue from  the sale of 
educational materials and promotional products is recognised at the time the control of the product passes to the customer. 
This control will pass when the customer orders the curriculum or other products are shipped. 

Student lesson fees 
Revenue from student lessons derived from tutoring operations are recognised when the services are provided pursuant to 
a student's enrolment agreement, which is typically on a weekly basis during a set lesson time. These lessons are provided 
directly by the consolidated entity and not through any franchised contract. 

Other revenue 
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. 

Interest 
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the 
amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest 
rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset 
to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. 

Government grants 
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them 
with the costs that they are intended to compensate. 

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.

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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, 
except for: 
● 

 when the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a
transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting
nor taxable profits; or 
 when the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures,  and
the  timing  of  the  reversal  can  be  controlled  and  it  is  probable  that  the  temporary  difference  will  not  reverse  in  the
foreseeable future. 

● 

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. 

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. 

Kip  McGrath  Education  Centres  Limited  (the  'head  entity')  and  its  wholly-owned  Australian  subsidiaries  have  formed  an 
income  tax  consolidated  group  under  the  tax  consolidation  regime.  The  head  entity  and  each  subsidiary  in  the  tax 
consolidated group  continue to  account for their own current  and  deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has 
applied  the  'separate  taxpayer  within  group'  approach  in  determining  the  appropriate  amount  of  taxes  to  allocate  to 
members of the tax consolidated group. 

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) 
and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary in the tax 
consolidated group. 

Assets  or  liabilities  arising  under  tax  funding  agreements  with  the  tax  consolidated  entities  are  recognised  as  amounts 
receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the 
intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a 
contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity. 

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 
consolidated  entity'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 consolidated entity'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. 

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. For the statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash 
and  cash  equivalents  also  includes  bank  overdrafts,  which  are  shown  within  borrowings  in  current  liabilities  on  the 
statement of financial position.

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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 allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 
30 days. 

The  consolidated  entity  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. 

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses. 

Plant and equipment 
Plant  and  equipment  is  stated  at  historical  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  impairment.  Historical  cost  includes 
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. 

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of plant and equipment over their 
expected useful lives of between 3 and 20 years.  

Right-of-use assets 
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 consolidated entity 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. 

The  consolidated  entity  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. 

Intangible assets 
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value 
at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible 
assets  are  not  amortised  and  are  subsequently  measured  at  cost  less  any  impairment.  Finite  life  intangible  assets  are 
subsequently  measured  at  cost  less  amortisation  and  any  impairment.  The  gains  or  losses  recognised  in  profit  or  loss 
arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the 
carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. 
Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation 
method or period. 

Intellectual property 
Intellectual property primarily consists of the acquisition costs for the system of tuition developed by the founders, Kip and 
Dug  McGrath.  Costs  in  relation  to  intellectual  property  are  capitalised  as  an  asset.  These  costs  are  not  subsequently 
amortised as they have an indefinite useful life. 

Product and overseas development costs 
Costs in relation to product and overseas development costs are capitalised as an asset. These costs are not subsequently 
amortised where they have an indefinite useful life. Definite life costs are written off over their finite useful life of up to ten 
years for curriculum items and up to five years for other items. 

Franchise and development territories 
Existing  franchise  and  development  territories  that  have  been  acquired  by  the  consolidated  entity  are  capitalised  as  an 
asset  and  are  not  amortised,  but  are  subject  to  annual  impairment  reviews  based  on  student  numbers  remaining  at  the 
acquisition level.

Other intangibles 
Other intangibles are capitalised as an asset and amortised, being their finite useful life of five years. 

Impairment of non-financial assets 
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 an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and 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. 

Trade and other payables 
These  amounts  represent  liabilities  for  goods  and  services  provided  to  the  consolidated  entity  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. 

Contract liabilities 
Contract  liabilities  represent  the  consolidated  entity's  obligation  to  transfer  goods  or  services  to  a  customer  and  are 
recognised  when  a  customer  pays  consideration,  or  when  the  consolidated  entity  recognises  a  receivable  to  reflect  its 
unconditional  right  to  consideration  (whichever  is  earlier)  before  the  consolidated  entity  has  transferred  the  goods  or 
services to the customer. 

Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They 
are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

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  consolidated  entity'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.  Variable  lease  payments  include  rent  concessions  in  the  form  of  rent  forgiveness  or  a  waiver  as  a  direct 
consequence of COVID-19 and which relate to payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021. 

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. 

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. 

Employee benefits 

Short-term employee benefits 
Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries  and  other  employee  benefits  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.

Other long-term employee benefits 
Employee benefits not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured as 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. 

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

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

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

The  cost  of  equity-settled  transactions  are  measured  at  fair  value on  grant  date.  Fair  value  is  independently  determined 
using Black-Scholes option 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 
consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other 
vesting conditions. 

The  cost  of  equity-settled  transactions  are  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. 

Market  conditions  are  taken  into  consideration  in  determining  fair  value.  Therefore,  any  awards  subject  to  market 
conditions  are  considered  to  vest  irrespective  of  whether  or  not  that  market  condition  has  been  met,  provided  all  other 
conditions are satisfied. 

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. 
An  additional  expense  is  recognised,  over  the  remaining  vesting period,  for  any  modification  that  increases  the  total  fair 
value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification. 

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is 
treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied 
during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the 
award is forfeited. 

If  equity-settled  awards  are  cancelled,  it  is  treated  as  if  it  has  vested  on  the  date  of  cancellation,  and  any  remaining 
expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and 
new award is treated as if they were a modification. 

Fair value measurement 
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the 
fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction 
between  market  participants  at  the  measurement  date;  and  assumes  that  the  transaction  will  take  place  either:  in  the 
principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. 

Fair  value  is  measured  using  the  assumptions  that  market  participants  would  use  when  pricing  the  asset  or  liability, 
assuming  they act in their economic best  interests. For non-financial  assets,  the fair value measurement is based  on its 
highest  and  best  use.  Valuation  techniques  that  are  appropriate  in  the  circumstances  and  for  which  sufficient  data  are 
available  to  measure  fair  value,  are  used,  maximising  the  use  of  relevant  observable  inputs  and  minimising  the  use  of 
unobservable inputs.

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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. 

Dividends 
Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the company. 

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

Where  the  business  combination  is  achieved  in  stages,  the  consolidated  entity  remeasures  its  previously  held  equity 
interest in the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying 
amount is recognised in profit or loss. 

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  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss. 
Contingent  consideration  classified  as  equity  is  not  remeasured  and  its  subsequent  settlement  is  accounted  for  within 
equity. 

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. 

Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Kip McGrath Education Centres 
Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary 
shares  outstanding  during  the  financial  year,  adjusted  for  bonus  elements  in  ordinary  shares  issued  during  the  financial 
year.

Diluted earnings per share 
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  for  no  consideration  in  relation  to  dilutive  potential 
ordinary shares. 

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes 
Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the  amount  of  associated  GST,  unless  the  GST  incurred  is  not 
recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part 
of the expense. 

Receivables  and  payables  are  stated  inclusive  of  the  amount  of  GST  receivable  or  payable.  The  net  amount  of  GST 
recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  tax  authority  is  included  in  other  receivables  or  other  payables  in  the  statement  of 
financial position. 

Cash  flows  are  presented  on  a  gross  basis.  The  GST  components  of  cash  flows  arising  from  investing  or  financing 
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows. 

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority. 

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 instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar. 

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 consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2020. 
The consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, 
most relevant to the consolidated entity, 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  consolidated  entity  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  consolidated  entity  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 consolidated entity's financial statements. 

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 

The  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  requires  management  to  make  judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  that 
affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in 
relation  to  assets,  liabilities,  contingent  liabilities,  revenue  and  expenses.  Management  bases  its  judgements,  estimates 
and  assumptions  on  historical  experience  and  on  other  various  factors,  including  expectations  of  future  events, 
management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will 
seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing 
a  material  adjustment  to  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  (refer  to  the  respective  notes)  within  the  next 
financial year are discussed below. 

COVID-19 
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that COVID-19 has had, or may have, on the consolidated entity 
based  on  known  information.  This  consideration  extends  to  the  nature  of  the  products  and  services  offered,  customers, 
supply  chain,  staffing  and  geographic  regions  in  which  the  consolidated  entity  operates.  Other  than  as  addressed  in 
specific  notes,  there  does  not  currently  appear  to  be  either  any  significant  impact  upon  the  financial  statements  or  any 
significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at 
the reporting date or subsequently as a result of COVID-19.

Intangible assets with indefinite life 
Intellectual property, franchise territories and certain product and overseas development costs are classified as having an 
indefinite useful life and not amortised as management considers that there is no foreseeable limit to the cash flows these 
assets  are  generating.  Such  assets  are  subject  to  annual  impairment  reviews  in  accordance  with  the  accounting  policy 
stated  in  note  1.  The  recoverable  amounts  of  cash-generating  units  to  which  such  assets  relate  have  been  determined 
based on value-in-use calculations which 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.  Estimates  that  management  has  made  with 
respect to such calculations are disclosed in note 11.  

Finite life intangible assets 
The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related amortisation charges for its finite life intangible 
assets.  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. The consolidated entity 
assesses impairment of such assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the consolidated entity, the 
cash generating unit to which the asset belongs, and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment 
trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves estimating the asset’s fair value less costs 
of  disposal  or  value-in-use  calculations  which  incorporate  a  number  of  key  estimates  and  assumptions.  Estimates  that 
management has made with respect to such calculations are disclosed in note 11.  

Share-based payment transactions 
The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of 
the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or 
Black-Scholes  model  taking  into  account  the  terms  and  conditions  upon  which  the  instruments  were  granted.  The 
accounting  estimates  and  assumptions  relating  to  equity-settled  share-based  payments  would  have  no  impact  on  the 
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity. 

Determination of variable consideration for services transferred over time 
Judgement  is  exercised  in  estimating  variable  consideration  which  is  determined  having  regard  to  past  experience  with 
respect  to  the  goods  returned  to  the  consolidated  entity  where  the  customer  maintains  a  right  of  return  pursuant  to  the 
customer contract or where services have a variable component. Revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is 
highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised under the contract will not occur 
when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. 

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 COVID-19 and forward-looking information that is available. The allowance for expected credit losses, as disclosed in 
note 9, is calculated based on the information available at the time of preparation. The actual credit losses in future years 
may be higher or lower. 

Income tax 
The consolidated entity 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. The  consolidated entity recognises  liabilities  for 
anticipated  tax  audit  issues  based  on  the  consolidated  entity's  current  understanding  of  the  tax  law.  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. 

Recovery of deferred tax assets 
Deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  for  deductible  temporary  differences  only  if  the  consolidated  entity  considers  it  is 
probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. The deferred tax 
assets are expected to be recovered through management’s forecast taxable profits over the next three years.

Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2020 

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)

Employee benefits provision 
As discussed in note 1, the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting 
date  are  recognised  and  measured  at  the  present  value  of  the  estimated  future  cash  flows  to  be  made  in  respect  of  all 
employees  at  the  reporting  date.  In  determining  the  present  value  of  the  liability,  estimates  of  attrition  rates  and  pay 
increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account. 

Lease make good provision 
A  provision  has  been  made  for  the  present  value  of  anticipated  costs  for  future  restoration  of  leased  premises.  The 
provision includes future cost estimates associated with closure of the premises. The calculation of this provision requires 
assumptions such as application of closure dates and cost estimates. The provision recognised for each site is periodically 
reviewed and updated based on the facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes to the estimated future costs 
for sites are recognised in the statement of financial position by adjusting the asset and the provision. Reductions in the 
provision that exceed the carrying amount of the asset will be recognised in profit or loss. 

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 consolidated entity'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 consolidated entity 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. 

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 consolidated entity 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. 

Management assumptions for lease extensions 
There  are  specific  estimates  and  judgements  that  were  used  as  part  of  the  calculation  of  right-of-use  assets  and  lease 
liabilities. These estimates include the lease terms, lease make good provisions and lease increases based on consumer 
price index. Management used the best available estimate of  these inputs in the calculations. In particular, management 
has relied on the assumption that an option to extend the lease terms of 2 leased properties in Newcastle will be exercised, 
thereby increasing the future lease payments and corresponding right of use asset by up to 3 years. 

Management assumptions for non-lease components 
Management  have  elected  not  to  apply  the  available  expedient  to  not  separately  account  for  non-lease components.  As 
such,  the  consolidated  entity  has  separated  any  non-lease  components  from  future  lease  payments  and  will  continue  to 
account for these components as an expense over time as the non-lease components are provided. As such, there are no 
future assets or obligations recognised in respect of non-lease components. For some leases, the identification of amounts 
related  to  non-lease  components  must  be  estimated  due  to  contracts  not  including  an  explicit  break-up.  In  these  cases, 
management estimates the value of the non-lease component by reference to available market data. Where the estimate is 
significant, management includes a note to detail the judgements made to arrive at the estimate. 

Note 3. Operating segments 

Identification of reportable operating segments 
The consolidated entity has only one operating segment based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the 
Chief  Executive  Officer  and  the  Board  of  Directors  (collectively  referred  to  as  the  Chief  Operating  Decision  Makers 
('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The operating segment information is 
disclosed throughout these financial statements. 

The information reported to the CODM is on at least a monthly basis.

Note 9. Trade and other receivables (continued)

The consolidated  entity has  increased its  monitoring  of  debt  recovery as there  is  an increased probability  of  franchisees 
and customers delaying payment or being unable to pay, due to COVID-19. As a result, the calculation of expected credit 
losses has been revised as at 30 June 2020 and rates have increased in each category up to 3 months overdue.

The  intellectual  property  and  product  and  overseas  development  costs  are  the  primary  elements  of  the  consolidated 
entity’s system of tutoring which has been developed and acquired over a period exceeding 30 years by the founders and 
the consolidated entity. The franchise territories asset consists of the buy-back of the right to operate the business in the 
United Kingdom and New Zealand. As there is no foreseeable limit to the cash flows these assets are generating, they are 
considered to have an indefinite useful life and not amortised. Instead they are subject to annual impairment reviews. Other 
intangibles  include  the  contractual  rights  for  certain  territories  where  the  consolidated  entity  has  terminated  an  area 
developers contract and the liability for these items are included in payables. 

Impairment tests for indefinite life intangibles 
Indefinite life intangibles are allocated to a single cash generating unit ('CGU'). 

The recoverable amount has been determined by a value-in-use calculation using a discounted cash flow model, based on 
a three-year projection period approved by management and extrapolated for a  further two years using a  growth rate of 
2.4% (2019: 2.4%). There are no terminal values in the calculation. 

Key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating units is most sensitive. 

The following key assumptions were used in the discounted cash flow model: 
a.   Pre-tax discount rate 14.7% (2019: 15.8%). The discount rate reflects management’s estimate of the time value of 

money and the consolidated entity’s weighted average cost of capital, the risk free rate and the volatility of the share 
price relative to market movements. 

b.   Student lesson revenue growth rate of 19% (2019: 16%) over the five year projection period, which reflects additional 
corporate centres, an expected move towards larger centres and a continued movement towards percentage of 
revenue contracts, which management believe is reasonable given the current trading performance of the consolidated 
entity. 

c.   Foreign exchange rates consistent with current market conditions. 

Based on the above, there was no impairment required for the year ended 30 June 2020 (2019: $nil). 

Sensitivity 
As disclosed in note 2, the directors have made judgements and estimates in respect of the impairment testing of indefinite 
life  intangibles.  Should  these  judgements  and  estimates  not  occur,  the  resulting  indefinite  life  intangibles  may  vary  in 
carrying amount.  

The key sensitivity is that student lesson revenue would need to fall by 24% (2019: fall by 18%) before the CGU would be 
impaired, with all other assumptions remaining constant.

Amounts not expected to be settled within the next 12 months 
The current provision for employee benefits includes all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the 
required period of service and also those where employees are entitled to pro-rata payments in certain circumstances. The 
entire  amount  is  presented  as  current,  since  the  consolidated  entity  does  not  have  an  unconditional  right  to  defer 
settlement.  However,  based  on  past  experience,  the  consolidated  entity  does  not  expect  all  employees  to  take  the  full 
amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months.

Note 19. Issued capital (continued)

Share buy-back 
There is no current on-market share buy-back. 

Capital risk management 
The consolidated entity's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so 
that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure 
to reduce the cost of capital. 

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated 
as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. 

In  order  to  maintain  or  adjust  the  capital  structure,  the  consolidated  entity  may  adjust  the  amount  of  dividends  paid  to 
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. 

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2019 Annual Report. 

The  capital  structure  of  the  consolidated  entity  consists  of  net  debt  (borrowings  offset  by  cash  and  bank  balances)  and 
equity of the consolidated entity (comprising issued capital, reserves and accumulated profits).

operations. 

Share-based payments reserve 
The  reserve  is  used  to  recognise  the  value  of  equity  benefits  provided  to  employees  and  directors  as  part  of  their 
remuneration, and other parties as part of their compensation for services. 

Other reserves 
This reserve is used to recognise the increments and decrements on changes in equity of the parent on acquisition of non-
controlling interests.

Note 22. Financial instruments 

Financial risk management objectives 
The consolidated entity'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. The consolidated entity's overall risk management program focuses on the 
unpredictability  of  financial  markets  and  seeks  to  minimise  potential  adverse  effects  on  the  financial  performance  of  the 
consolidated entity and to ensure that the consolidated entity is able to finance its business plans. The consolidated entity 
uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis 
in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks and ageing analysis for credit risk. 

Risk  management  is  carried  out  by  senior  executives  ('finance')  under  policies  approved  by  the  Board  of  Directors 
('Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the consolidated entity and appropriate 
procedures, controls and risk limits. The consolidated entity does not enter into or trade in financial instruments, including 
derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis.

Note 22. Financial instruments (continued)

Market risk 

Foreign currency risk 
The  consolidated  entity  undertakes  certain  transactions  denominated  in  foreign  currency  and  is  exposed  to  foreign 
currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The consolidated entity operates internationally and is exposed to 
foreign  exchange  risk  arising  primarily  from  the  Pound  Sterling,  Singapore  dollar,  South  African  Rand  and  New  Zealand 
dollar. 

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities 
denominated  in  a  currency  that  is  not  the  entity's  functional  currency.  The  consolidated  entity  presently  does  not  hedge 
foreign exchange risks, focusing on matching income and expenditure by currency where possible to reduce risk. 

The carrying amount of the consolidated  entity's foreign currency denominated financial assets  and financial liabilities at 
the reporting date were as follows:

The  consolidated  entity  had  net  assets  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  of  $1,626,000  as  at  30  June  2020  (assets 
$4,229,000 less liabilities $2,603,000) (2019: $2,564,000 (assets $5,386,000 less liabilities $2,822,000)). Based on this net 
position, a 10% strengthening in the Australian dollar from 30 June 2020 levels may expose the consolidated entity to a 
$163,000 foreign currency loss. 

Price risk 
The consolidated entity is not exposed to any significant price risk. 

Interest rate risk 
The  consolidated  entity's  main  interest  rate  risk  arises  from  short-term  and  long-term  borrowings.  Borrowings  issued  at 
variable rates expose the consolidated entity to interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the consolidated 
entity to fair value interest rate risk.  

The consolidated entity's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of 
bank loans, related party loans and financial leases. 

As at the reporting date, the consolidated entity had the following variable rate borrowings.

principal  and  interest  payment  loans. Quarterly  cash  outlays  of  approximately  $129,000  (2019:  $38,000  per  quarter)  are 
required to service the debt. An official increase/decrease in interest rates of 100 (2019: 100) basis points would have an 
adverse/favourable effect on profit before tax of $14,300 (2019: $4,500) per annum. The percentage change is based on 
the expected volatility of interest rates using market data and analysis.  

Credit risk 
Credit  risk  refers  to  the  risk  that  a  counterparty  will  default  on  its contractual  obligations  resulting  in  financial  loss  to  the 
consolidated entity. The consolidated entity has adopted a policy of dealing with only recognised, creditworthy third parties. 
All franchisees are subject to legal and credit checks prior to contracting with the consolidated entity. Policies have been 
put  in  place  to  ensure  that  receivable  balances  are  monitored  on  an  ongoing  basis  with  the  result  that  the  consolidated 
entity's  exposure  to  credit  default  is  not  significant.  The  consolidated  entity  does  not  hold  any  collateral.  However,  the 
consolidated  entity's  policy  for  non-payment  of  debt  by  contracted  partners  within  the  maximum  30-day  terms  is 
deactivation of access to student curriculum resources. 

The  consolidated  entity  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  consolidated  entity  based  on  recent  sales  experience,  historical 
collection rates and forward-looking information that is available. As disclosed in note 9, 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 up to 3 months 
overdue. 

Before accepting any new customers, the consolidated entity assesses the potential customer's credit quality.  

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,  no  active  enforcement  activity  and  a  failure  to  make  contractual 
payments for a period greater than 1 year. 

In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the consolidated entity considers any change in the credit quality of 
the trade receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date. The concentration of credit risk is 
limited due to the customer base being large and unrelated. 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.  

Liquidity risk 
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the consolidated entity to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash 
equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable. 

The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by 
continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Remaining contractual maturities 
The following tables detail the consolidated entity's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The 
tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which 
the  financial  liabilities  are  required  to  be  paid.  The  tables  include  both  interest  and  principal  cash  flows  disclosed  as 
remaining  contractual  maturities  and  therefore  these  totals  may  differ  from  their  carrying  amount  in  the  statement  of

above. 

Note 23. Fair value measurement 

Unless  otherwise  stated,  the  carrying  amounts  of  financial  instruments  reflect  their  fair  value.  The  carrying  amounts  of 
trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-
term nature.  The fair value of the  consolidated entity’s non-current financial  liabilities  has been estimated as  $1,426,000 
(2019:  $450,000)  by discounting  the  remaining  contractual maturities  at current  market  interest  rates  for  similar  financial 
instruments.

On 9 March 2012, shareholders approved the terms and conditions of the Kip McGrath Employee Share Option Plan ('the 
Plan'). The Plan is designed to provide long-term incentives for employees to deliver long-term shareholder returns. Under 
the Plan the consolidated entity may, at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee, grant options over ordinary shares 
in the parent entity to certain KMP. The options are issued for nil consideration and only vest if certain conditions are met. 

Options granted under the plan carry no dividend or voting rights. Shares issued under exercised options will rank equally 
with ordinary shares. 

On exercise each option converts to one share, except in certain circumstances such as rights issues or bonus issues. 

Set out below are summaries of options granted under the plan:

Note 35. Events after the reporting period 

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing for the consolidated entity up to 30 June 2020, With ongoing waves in a 
number of key markets, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. 
The  situation  is  rapidly  developing  and  is  dependent  on  measures  imposed  by  the  relevant  Governments,  such  as 
maintaining  social  distancing  requirements,  quarantine,  travel  restrictions  and  any  economic  stimulus  that  may  be 
provided. 

Apart from the dividend as disclosed in note 21, no other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has 
significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the 
consolidated entity's state of affairs in future financial years.

Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited    ABN 73 003 415 889  |  Annual Report 2020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 of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit 
of  the  financial  report  as  a  whole,  and  in  forming  our  opinion  thereon,  and  we  do  not  provide  a  separate 
opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is 
provided in that context. 

1. 

Impairment testing of intangible assets 

Why significant 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

As  disclosed  in  note  11,  the  Company 
and its subsidiaries has intangible assets 
of $13.482m as at 30 June 2020.

The  Company  has  reviewed  the  disposition  of  how  cash  flows  are

2. 

Adoption of new accounting standard – AASB 16 Leases 

Why significant 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Our  procedures  included,  but  were  not  limited  to,  the 
following:  
(cid:121)  obtained  an  understanding  of  the  Company’s 
adoption  of  AASB  16  and  assessed  the  design 
and implementation of the key controls relating to 
the  determination  of  the  AASB  16  transition 
impact disclosure;  

(cid:121)  we  assessed 

the  discount  rates  applied 

in 

determining the lease liabilities; 

(cid:121)  we  assessed  the  accuracy  of  the  Right-of-use 
Asset  and  Lease  Liabilities  by  testing  the  lease 
data  captured  by  management  for  a  sample  of 
leases 
lease 
documentation  both  on  the  date  of  adoption  as 
well as the reporting date; 

inspection  of 

through 

the 

(cid:121)  we assessed the lease term used and whether it 

is enforceable in accordance with AASB 16; 

(cid:121)  considered the completeness of the lease data by 
testing  the  reconciliation  of  the  Company’s  lease 
liability to operating lease commitments disclosed 
in  the  2019  financial  report  and  by  considering  if 
we  had  knowledge  of  any  other  contracts  which 
may contain a lease;  
the  key 

judgements  applied  and 

(cid:121)  assessed 

estimates made by management; and 

(cid:121)  determined if the disclosures made in the financial 
report  pertaining  to  leases,  including  disclosures 
relating  to  the  transition  to  AASB  16,  were  in 
compliance with AASBs.(cid:3)

The Company adopted AASB 16 Leases with effect from 
1 July 2019, which resulted in changes to the accounting 
policies.  The Company has elected to use the modified 
retrospective  approach  and  as  such  not  to  restate 
comparative  information  as  permitted by the  transitional 
provisions contained within AASB 16. 

The impact of AASB 16 is a change in accounting policy 
for  operating  leases.    This  change  in  accounting  policy 
results  in  Right-of-use  Assets  of  $1.649mil  and  Lease 
Liabilities  of  the  same  amount  being  recognized  in  the 
Statement of Financial Position at adoption date.   

The  net  present  value  of  the  Right-of-use  Assets  and 
Lease Liabilities could vary depending on the estimates 
used in determining the lease make good provision, the 
lease  term  and  the  incremental  borrowing  rate.  As  a 
result, the judgements which have been applied and the 
estimates  made  in  determining  the  impact  of  AASB  16, 
this area is considered a Key Audit Matter.

Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited    ABN 73 003 415 889  |  Annual Report 2020Other Information 

Those charged with governance are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises 
the  information  included  in  the  consolidated  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, accordingly, the auditor does 
not and will not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of 
the Remuneration Report. 

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. 

Directors’ Responsibilities 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 consolidated entity’s ability 
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 consolidated entity or to 
cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 
(cid:3)
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  and  auditor’s  report  that  includes  our 
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted 
in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. 
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individual or in 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  Australian Auditing  Standards, we exercise professional judgement 
and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.  We also:  

(cid:121) 

(cid:3)

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  fraud  may  involve 
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Annual Report 2020  |  Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited    ABN 73 003 415 889Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report (cont’d)

(cid:121)  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 consolidated entity’s internal control. 

(cid:121)  Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of  accounting 

estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors. 

(cid:121)  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  consolidated  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  consolidated 
entity to cease to continue as a going concern. 

(cid:121)  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. 

(cid:121)  Obtain  sufficient  appropriate  audit  evidence  regarding  the  financial  information  of  the  entities  or 
business activities within the consolidated entity to express an opinion on the group financial report. 
We  are  responsible  for  the  direction,  supervision  and  performance  of  the  group  audit.  We  remain 
solely responsible for our audit opinion.  

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.
