This financial year we continued to drive growth through strategic investments in technology, corporate centres and

remained agile in our response to an ever increasing demand for high-quality, small group tutoring throughout the UK, US,
and Australasia.

Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited
Chairman's letter
30 June 2023
Dear Shareholders,
FY23 marked sturdy growth through strategic investments in line with our corporate plan. Cashflow was very strong at $6.4M
as we concentrated on software rollout and corporate profitability. Whilst the board was disappointed in the performance of
Tutorfly in the USA, we remain confident it is strategically sound. This is justified with $2.6M of work already contracted for
FY24. We continue to focus on our four- lever strategy, to provide world- wide high-quality tutoring, and bringing strong results
in the short to medium term.
Despite the challenges posed by the post-COVID-19 landscape, our commitment to excellence and targeted innovation has
fueled our consistent progress, demonstrating our business’s resilience and adaptability. FY23 continued to deliver growth in
revenue, EBITDA, NPAT and distributions to shareholders.
Our achievement in delivering a record two million lessons in FY23 stands as a testament to the outcomes driven by our
technology investments, particularly our Kip Learn product. Leading indicators such as bookings, confirm acceptance of this
new innovative method of engaging students in the purchase of lessons. By the close of FY23, 15% of our franchise centres
had adopted these advancements, with an increase in lesson numbers attributed to year-round learning, with blended and
independent learning solutions.
Outside Australasia and the United Kingdom, our global business continues to build. With government support to improve
poor educational outcomes, the UAE business remains strong and Tutorfly's US focused foundation-building phase, supported
by leveraging KMEC technology and enhanced sales capabilities, saw strategic investment in direct-to-school solutions. This
comprehensive product range, spanning tutoring, administration reporting tools, and faculty development, is now provided to
seven states.
This year’s achievements were made possible by the dedication of the Kip McGrath team. Their commitment to delivering
personalized, small group tutoring and enhancing shareholder value is commendable and I extend my sincere gratitude to our
staff and management for their exceptional efforts.
Today, the Board has declared a final dividend of 1.5 cents per share to be paid on 21 September 2023 for those shareholders
on the register at 7pm on 7 September 2023, taking the total dividends for the financial year to 2.5 cents per share. We remind
shareholders the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) is available on https://www.kipmcgrath.com/global/shareholder-
information
Delivering shareholder value remains central to our purpose, and we deeply appreciate your continued support. We are
dedicated to fostering growth across all channels and service offerings, strengthening our market position, while we continue
to optimise operational efficiencies for margin expansion.
We look forward to updating you on our progress throughout FY24.

Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer's report
30 June 2023
Throughout the year we remained committed to strategic investments, driving growth in response to the rising demand for
high-quality tutoring on a global scale. Our focus on corporate centres and offshore expansion has yielded consistent growth,
supported by strong demand for small-group tutoring in the UK, US, and Australasia, even in the post-COVID-19 era.
Notably, we achieved solid results in FY23, with revenue of $26.8 million, an 8.7% increase from FY22. EBITDA grew by
8.1%, and NPAT by 2.4% to $6.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively.
We have seen a strong rise in franchise operations, with total revenue from franchising up 6.3% to $17.8 million. The
implementation of advanced KipLearn technology, coupled with a concentrated effort on centre placement to optimise revenue
potential among our franchisees, has been the driving force behind our growth.
Another key driver of our growth has been our corporate centres, which have increased to 29 centres worldwide in just four
years. Revenue from Corporate Centres has grown 22.5% to $7.7 million. We are particularly proud of our achievement in
securing positive cash flows for this business unit, laying the foundation for further expansion and market penetration.
Tutorfly is emerging as a pivotal contributor to our global growth. In FY23 we invested heavily in both technology and building
a sales pipeline to drive growth in the US market. Despite experiencing a $0.9 million loss in FY23 on revenue of $1.2 million,
we are poised to capitalise on these enhancements and ongoing US government focus on post-COVID funding, with
contracted works already secured for $2.6 million in FY24.
The demand for our services remains strong, driven by the growing recognition of the benefits of high-quality, small-group
tutoring among parents and education professionals.
Despite cost-of-living pressures and other economic challenges, parents continue to prioritise tutoring, underscoring the value
they see in our offerings, especially around our blended learning options, combining in-person and online tutoring.
•
• Governments worldwide have shown robust support for our approach, providing opportunities for fully funded tutoring
services. In NSW and New Zealand state schools we are proud to be listed as an approved provider for Indigenous
students.
In the UK many of our franchisees are working with their local schools to provide tuition under the funding available
from the UK government.
In the Middle East, our master franchisee has secured tutoring for five schools, benefiting over 5,000 students.
The Biden administration and state governments in the USA have been actively supporting students' recovery from
the pandemic, allowing Tutorfly to expand relationships with preferred supplier status in seven states and eleven
School Districts.
•
•
Government initiatives remain a driving force behind our global growth opportunities.
Driving growth via our four strategic levers.
Lever 1: Increase Students per Centre
Our commitment to high-quality, small group tutoring and blended learning options has resonated strongly with parents and
students, driving the success of our lesson growth. We are proud to report that over two million lessons were delivered this
year, highlighting the strong demand for our services.
We have achieved an 11% increase in average student numbers for corporate centres, now reaching an average 80 students
per centre. This achievement is a testament to the value our centres bring to the education journey of our students.
To enhance our reach and impact, we have commenced rollout of our revolutionary KipLearn tutoring platform. With adoption
already by 15% of franchise centres, this will offer substantial growth potential throughout FY24. KipLearn offers an engaging
and interactive learning experience, combining in-person and online tutoring. The flexibility is driving all-year-round learning
and empowering our tutors to dedicate more time to assessing and teaching – ultimately building more profitable businesses
for both franchisees and the franchisor.
The positive impact of KipLearn is evident in the financial performance of our adopting franchisees. In Australia, we have seen
average revenue growth of 15.6% for franchisees in Q4 FY23 compared to Q4 FY22. Similarly, in New Zealand, the rollout of
KipLearn has resulted in a 30.2% increase in lesson volume for franchisees who have converted from a silver contract to a
gold contract.

Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer's report
30 June 2023
Lever 2: Increase Number of Centres in Existing Markets
Our centre growth pipeline remains solid, with our focus on underpenetrated major and large secondary cities in Australia and
the UK. Kip franchises are increasingly seen as an attractive option for teachers transitioning from the school system. With a
consolidated centre base totalling 505, our concentration is on expansion into locations with significant revenue potential.
Further, our strategic Corporate Centre buyback approach is securing ownership of franchisees in high-potential locations,
ensuring consistency of revenue potential. Negotiations are underway for a number of additional centres at this time, with a
targeted goal of securing up to 15 strategic locations annually going forward.
To support this expansion, our management team is streamlining operations and building development pathways to ensure a
strong pipeline of capable centre managers to realise continued growth.
Lever 3: Increase Global Market Footprint
With strong bases in the Australian, New Zealand and United Kingdom markets, we are now looking to the US and Asian
markets to tap considerable potential centre growth. We are active in the Singapore market, where we previously had 30
centres, with the intention to grow from this base into other key markets in South East Asia. We are also actively exploring
greenfield and acquisition pathways in the southern states in the US, with a view to commencing Centre operations shortly.
Lever 4: Increase Lifetime Value of Customer
With a technology investment of over $2.9M during the financial year, we have continued to expand our offerings, benefiting
our direct-to-consumer market with year-round learning solutions and enhanced reporting through our do-it-yourself learning
solution and Parent Portal.
These strategic initiatives have seen an improvement in the lifetime value of our customers by 6% to $3.550. Our lighthouse
approach of working with influential franchisees is assisting to accelerate adoption of new services and drive network-wide
return on investment.
Tutorfly
We have made significant progress in expanding Tutorfly's reach and services during FY23. Leveraging KMEC’s technology
base, we now offer a comprehensive school program, including drop-in, high dosage, independent learning, custom
curriculum, in-person/virtual tutoring, and faculty professional development. This expansion has allowed us to respond more
effectively to Government and State-based requests for proposals.
Tutorfly is now active in seven states: Texas, Alabama, Arizona, New Mexico, Ohio, Kansas, and Mississippi, with working
partnerships established in 11 School districts. As a preferred supplier, we have secured contracted works worth
approximately $2.6M for FY24. Moreover, we are extending our reach to over two million school students through state
programs in Ohio (Ace Program) and Kansas (Keep Program) - focusing on remedial and supplemental learning.
Building on the strong foundations laid in FY23, we are actively expanding our sales pipeline and driving scalability. Our
continued investment in Tutorfly allows us to conduct real-time research and market testing, enabling faster market entry for
new solutions.
The ongoing government support for students post-COVID-19 in the US provides a favourable environment for Tutorfly's
growth. With a focus on capitalising on enhancements and opportunities in Tutorfly, we are committed to accelerating our
growth in the US market.

Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer's report
30 June 2023
In summary
In summary, the growing recognition of our offerings and commitment from governments have created significant opportunities
for global expansion. As we look ahead, we remain dedicated to growing all areas of our business, with an emphasis on
expanding the franchise network, corporate centres and Tutorfly. Advanced technology drives franchise network growth, while
strategic centre placement optimises revenue potential.
Our ongoing commitment to our four strategic levers remains central to increasing revenue and driving margin expansion.
The outlook for Kip McGrath Education Centres is bright, and we are poised for continued success in FY24 and beyond. We
extend our heartfelt appreciation to our teachers, children, parents and franchisees for their unwavering commitment to
improving learning worldwide.

Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited
Directors' report
30 June 2023
Franchise operations
Franchise operations saw overall revenue growth up 6.3% to $17.8 million, including revenue from franchisee fees,
advertising contributions, direct fees and sales of master territories.
Franchise fees continue to make up the majority of the company’s revenue, with a healthy 12.3% year-on-year increase.
Franchise fees of $14.553m (or 54% of total revenue) were recorded in FY23 compared to $12.960m in FY22 (or 53% of
total revenue). The increase in franchise fees was offset by a drop in direct sales to $1.090m in FY23 from $1.494m in FY22
which is primarily due to a reduction in online fees (as parents pivot back to in-Centre lessons) and payment gateway fees
(as the transition from Silver Partner to Gold Partner contracts continues, as payment gateway is included as part of the Gold
package).
UK franchise fees increased 11% to $8.203m (FY22: $7.365m) and now represent 56% of total franchise revenues. In APAC
franchise fees saw modest growth of 4% to $4.929m (FY22: $4.736m) representing 34% of total franchise fee revenue (FY22:
37%). The balance is made up of MENA and South Africa with $1.421m of revenue, a 66% increase compared to $0.859m
in the prior year reflecting good tailwinds from government school work in the Abu Dhabi market.
We are now active in 476 franchise locations worldwide with eight new Centres opened in APAC and five in the UK offset by
the closure of several Centres, particularly in South Africa where the economic outlook continues to worsen. There were also
4 Centres acquired as Corporate Centres from existing franchisees during the year. The increase in franchise fees reflects
a steady improvement in the average earnings per franchise Centre, rising from $25.7k per franchise Centre in FY22 to
$30.6k in FY23.
While the overall number of scheduled lesson numbers grew by 7% to 2.1 million in FY23, the proportion of online lessons
decreased to 16% of total scheduled lesson numbers.
The franchise network has 317 Gold partners globally, an increase from 296 in FY22 with Silver partners contracting from
205 last year to 159 in FY23 following the closure of a number of unviable Centres across all markets, particularly New
Zealand and South Africa.
Corporate Centres
FY23 saw an increase in revenue and profitability for the corporate Centre amidst new technology implementation, improving
the call Centre experience, and completing the integration of the corporate Centres purchased in the prior year whilst
acquiring new Centres in Australia and the UK.
Corporate Centre revenues contributed $7.719m or 29% to the consolidated group (FY22: $6.302m or 26%). Australia saw
a 23% rise in revenues to $5.715m (FY22: $4.631m), while the single Centre in New Zealand contributed a strong $1.433m
of revenue (FY22: $1.235m), a 16% increase. The acquisition of a second Centre in the UK in May assisted increasing
revenues by 31% to $0.571m (FY22: $0.435m). The contribution mix changed slightly year-on year with the UK now
contributing 7% of total corporate Centre revenues.
We are currently operating 29 corporate Centres across APAC and UK, with five additional Centres opened this year (four
in Australia and one in the UK). Lesson numbers have increased by 12% from 119,000 in FY22 to 134,000 in the current
year.
Importantly the revenue and margin focus help to significantly improve the profitability of Corporate Centres, with the division
moving back into profitability following the acquisitions during the COVID-19 period.
Tutorfly
During FY23 we made significant inroads in expanding Tutorfly’s service offering and geographical reach across the US
territories. In addition to the traditional revenue streams, investment in pioneering KMEC technologies made it possible for
us to expand our offering to a number of high-margin generating activities such as drop-in tutoring, high-dosage, independent
learning, custom curriculum, in-person/virtual tutoring, and faculty professional development. Additionally, investment in
sales capabilities saw Tutorfly expand into seven new US states and 11 School districts. Despite the fact that this investment
has not immediately translated into revenues for FY23, Tutorfly is well placed to grow its pipeline and drive growth in FY24,
with contracted work of approximately $2.6m already secured by the US management team.
Tutorfly’s revenues accounted for 4% of total revenue numbers, a slight decline from 6% in the prior year. Revenue for FY23
was $1.169m, 28% lower compared to the prior year (FY22: $1.620m), however of note is that 51% of revenue was derived
from new territories (New Mexico), reflecting the focus on diversification of locations as part of working with the US
government school support programs.

The directors consider EBITDA to reflect the core earnings of the consolidated entity. EBITDA is a financial measure not
prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards ('AAS') and represents the profit under AAS adjusted for depreciation,
amortisation and interest expense. This financial measure has not been subject to specific audit or review procedures by the
company’s auditor, but has been extracted from the accompanying financial statements.
Significant changes in the state of affairs
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year.
Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
Apart from the dividend declared as disclosed in the 'Review of operations' above, no other matter or circumstance has
arisen since 30 June 2023 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 continues to operate 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.
Business risks
The following is a summary of material business risks that could adversely affect the consolidated entity's ('KMEC') financial
performance and growth potential in future years.
Information technology systems
KMEC’s business is dependent upon the development and maintenance of infrastructure to support the Information
Technology (IT) systems, which along with the internet, has experienced and is expected to continue to experience significant
growth and development. There can be no assurance that the IT systems or the internet's infrastructure will continue to be
able to support the demands placed upon it by the community or that the performance or reliability of the IT systems or
internet will not diminish. In particular, the reliability and performance of IT systems and the internet may be affected by
computer viruses and/or other deliberate acts of terrorism and sabotage. The introduction of new technologies for delivering
services, changes in perceptions of the industry, cultural shifts and changes in the demographic, all have the capability to
adversely impact the operating conditions of KMEC.
Competition
KMEC operates in a competitive market with competitors who may have greater resources, superior products and/or a lower
cost of capital and the ability to borrow money at lower rates than those at which KMEC can borrow money. There is no
assurance that competitors will not succeed in developing and offering services that are more effective, economically or
otherwise, or more attractive to the market than those being developed by KMEC, or which would render KMEC’s services
obsolete and/or otherwise uncompetitive. In addition, KMEC may not be able to compete successfully against current or
future competitors where aggressive pricing policies are employed to capture market share, which could materially and
adversely affect KMEC’s future business, operating results and financial position.
8
Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited
Directors' report
30 June 2023
Acts of terrorism, pandemics or outbreak of international hostilities
An act of terrorism, significant pandemic or an outbreak of international hostilities could adversely affect consumer
confidence, customer spending and investment performance, which in turn could have an adverse impact on KMEC's
operating, financial and share value performance.
Reliance on key personnel
KMEC’s performance is significantly dependent on the talents and efforts of skilled individuals able to manage the business.
KMEC’s continued ability to operate effectively depends on its ability to retain and motivate existing employees as well as to
attract new employees. KMEC’s financial performance may be adversely affected if it is unable to recruit, retain and motivate
quality employees.
Funding risks
Depending on KMEC's ability to generate revenue from operations, KMEC may require further financing to support its
activities. Any additional equity financing could dilute share holdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions
on financing and operating activities. The unavailability of such funding, or the unavailability of such funding on commercially
favourable terms, may limit the extent and size of activity undertaken by KMEC, and adversely affect the financial
performance of KMEC as a consequence. In addition, debt funding will expose KMEC to the risk of movements in interest
rates.
Dependence on third party service providers
KMEC depends on a number of key arrangements (both contractual and non-contractual) with its business partners, that,
should they be lost or significantly compromised, could potentially adversely affect KMEC’s financial and operational
viability. In particular, KMEC is currently reliant on an ongoing key supplier relationship with Amazon, Microsoft and Google
and is likely to be reliant on these for some time. As a consequence of this reliance, there will be little scope to mitigate the
adverse effects on KMEC from either a poor performance of either one of these or a change in the relationship.
Foreign exchange risk
KMEC’s business currently sells services and purchases product in several currencies including $USD (United States of
America), £GBP (United Kingdom), $NZD (New Zealand) and ZAR (South Africa). Accordingly, KMEC is exposed to foreign
currency exchange risk. KMEC does not have an active hedging policy in place, instead relying on natural hedges, and
accordingly movements in exchange rates may impact KMEC’s profitability.
Litigation and dispute risk
There are currently no outstanding claims against KMEC. However KMEC is potentially exposed to the general risk of
disputes and litigation, which may arise from time to time in the course of KMEC’s business activities. There is a risk that
material or costly disputes or litigation could adversely affect financial performance. KMEC takes out insurance to cover
certain risks where it appears appropriate to do so. To the extent that any such claims are not covered by insurance, the
costs of responding to the claim and any adverse outcome from any claim may materially adversely affect KMEC financial
position.
Changes in legislation and government regulation
Regulatory changes, including changes to the laws impacting KMEC's operations, the taxation system or associated
government policy, may affect future earnings and the relative attractiveness of investing in KMEC.
Potential acquisitions
As part of its business strategy, KMEC may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, complementary companies,
services, products or technologies, although no such acquisitions or investments are assured. Any such future transactions
would be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies, products and
technologies. No assurance can be made that any such investments would be profitable.
Intellectual property rights and brand names
KMEC regards brand names, trademarks, domain names, trade secrets and similar intellectual property as important to its

Remuneration report (audited)
The remuneration report, which has been audited, outlines the director and other key management personnel ('KMP')

Regulations.
KMP are defined as those who have the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities
of the consolidated entity.
The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:

Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited
Directors' report

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 RC 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 22 November 2022, where the
shareholders approved a maximum aggregate remuneration of $600,000.
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;
long-term incentives; 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 Board.
12
Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited
Directors' report
30 June 2023
Long-term incentives ('LTI') include share-based payments in the form of share options. The objective of the employee share
option plan 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.
During the financial year ended 30 June 2023, the consolidated entity, through the Remuneration Committee, engaged Ernst
& Young, remuneration consultants, to review its existing remuneration policies and provide recommendations on how to
improve the LTI program. Ernst & Young were paid $63,300 for these services.
Voting and comments made at the company's 2022 Annual General Meeting ('AGM')
At the 2022 AGM, 98% of the shareholders voted to adopt the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2022. The
company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

Non-audit services
Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor
are outlined in note 25 to the financial statements.
The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another
person or firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the
Corporations Act 2001.
The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 25 to the financial statements do not compromise the
external auditor's independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
●
all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity
of the auditor; and
none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code
of Ethics for Professional Accountants (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 and Sydney
There are no officers of the company who are former partners of PKF Newcastle and Sydney.
Rounding of amounts

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

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2023
Note 1. General information
The financial statements cover Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited as a consolidated entity consisting of Kip McGrath
Education Centres Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year. The financial statements are
presented in Australian dollars, which is Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited's functional and presentation currency.
Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
Its registered office and principal place of business is:
7 Bond Street
Newcastle NSW 2300
A description of the nature of the consolidated entity's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors'
report, which is not part of the financial statements.
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 22 August 2023. The
directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.
Note 2. 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 during the financial year.
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 2020-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements 2018-2020 and Other
Amendments
AASB 2020-3 was issued in June 2020 and is applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. Early
adoption is permitted.
●
●
●
●
●
AASB 1 ‘First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards’ to simplify the application of AASB 1 by a subsidiary
that becomes a first-time adopter after its parent in relation to the measurement of cumulative translation differences;
AASB 3 ‘Business Combinations’ to update a reference to the Conceptual Framework (see below) without changing the
accounting requirements for business combinations;
AASB 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ to clarify the fees an entity includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or
modified financial liability are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability;
AASB 116 ‘Property, Plant and Equipment’ to require an entity to recognise the sales proceeds from selling items
produced while preparing property, plant and equipment for its intended use and the related cost in profit or loss, instead
of deducting the amounts received from the cost of the asset; and
AASB 137 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’ to specify the costs that an entity includes when
assessing whether a contract will be loss-making.
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.

Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2023
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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 3.
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 28.
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 2023 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.
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 company’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.

Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2023
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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.
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.
27
Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2023
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be
received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. 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.
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.
28
Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2023
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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.
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.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2023
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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.
Goodwill
Goodwill from acquisition primarily consists of the goodwill arising from the acquisition of operating franchises to be converted
to corporately managed centres. These costs are not subsequently amortised where they are deemed to have an indefinite
useful life and are subject to annual impairment reviews based on assessment of centre profitability.
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
Trade and other payables 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.
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.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2023
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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.
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.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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 additional shares that would have been outstanding assuming conversion of all 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 2023. 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.
Amending accounting standards issued are not considered to have a significant impact on the financial statements of the
consolidated entity as their amendments provide either clarification of existing accounting treatment or editorial amendments.
AASB 2020-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current
and AASB 2022-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Non-current Liabilities with Covenants
AASB 2020-1 was issued in March 2020 and is applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024, as
extended by AASB 2020-6. Early adoption is permitted. AASB 2022-6 was issued in December 2022 and is applicable to
annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. Early adoption is permitted where AASB 2020-1 is also early adopted.

Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2023
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
These standards amend AASB 101 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ to clarify requirements for the presentation of
liabilities in the statement of financial position as current or non-current. The amendments clarify that a liability is classified
as non-current if an entity has the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12
months after the reporting period. If the deferral right is subject to the entity complying with covenants in the loan arrangement
based on information up to and including reporting date, the deferral right will exist where the entity is able to comply with
the covenant on or before the end of the reporting date even if compliance is assessed after the reporting date. The deferral
right will be deemed to exist at reporting date if the entity is required to comply with the covenant only after the reporting date
based on post-reporting date information. Additional disclosure is required about loan arrangements classified as non-current
liabilities in such circumstances which enables users of financial statements to understand the risk that the liabilities could
become repayable within twelve months after the reporting period. Classification of a liability as non-current is unaffected by
the likelihood that the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting
date or even if the entity settles the liability prior to issue of the financial statements. The meaning of settlement of a liability
is also clarified.
Note 3. 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.
Intangible assets with indefinite life
Goodwill, 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 generate. Such assets are subject to annual impairment reviews in accordance with the accounting policy
stated in note 2. 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.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)
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, 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.
Employee benefits provision
As discussed in note 2, 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.
Business combinations
As discussed in note 2, business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The fair value of assets
acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed are initially estimated by the consolidated entity taking into
consideration all available information at the reporting date. Fair value adjustments on the finalisation of the business
combination accounting is retrospective, where applicable, to the period the combination occurred and may have an impact
on the assets and liabilities, depreciation and amortisation reported.
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.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2023
Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)
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 to apply the available expedient to 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 4. 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.
Major customers
The consolidated entity does not have any major customers that contribute more than 10% of revenue (2022: none).

The above potential tax benefit for tax losses has not been recognised in the statement of financial position. These tax losses
are capital in nature and can only be utilised in the future to offset capital gains if the continuity of ownership test is passed,
or failing that, the same business test is passed.
The corporate tax rate applicable to base rate entities was reduced to 25% for the 2021-22 income year onwards. The
company qualifies as a base rate entity as it has a turnover of less than $50 million and less than 80% of its assessable
income is derived from base rate entity passive income. The company has remeasured its deferred tax balances, and any
unrecognised potential tax benefits arising from carried forward tax losses, based on this effective tax rate

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, New Zealand and South Africa. As there is no foreseeable limit to the cash flows these assets generate, 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 is included in payables.
Impairment tests for indefinite life intangibles and goodwill
Indefinite life intangibles and goodwill are allocated to a single cash generating unit ('CGU').

Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2023
Note 11. Intangibles (continued)
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%
(2022: 2.5%). 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 17.1% (2022: 15.2%). 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 15% (2022: 15%) 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 2023 (2022: $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 grow by less than 3% (2022: grow by less than 3%) before
the CGU would be impaired, with all other assumptions remaining constant.
Management believes that other reasonable changes in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount is based
would not cause the cash generating unit’s carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount.

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 2022 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).

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.
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, US Dollar, South African Rand and New Zealand Dollar.
49
Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2023
Note 22. Financial instruments (continued)
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 a number of foreign currencies of $1,954,000 as at 30 June 2023
(assets $8,431,000 less liabilities $6,477,000) (2022: $2,437,000 (assets $7,302,000 less liabilities $4,865,000)). Based on
this net position, a 10% strengthening in the Australian dollar from 30 June 2023 levels may expose the consolidated entity
to a $195,000 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.

The consolidated entity has net bank loans and borrowings outstanding, totalling $1,840,000 (2022: $1,300,000), which are
principal and interest payment loans. Quarterly cash outlays of approximately $113,000 (2022: $111,000 per quarter) are
required to service the debt as of July 2023. An official increase/decrease in interest rates of 100 (2022: 100) basis points
would have an adverse/favourable effect on profit before tax of $18,000 (2022: $13,000) per annum. The percentage change
is based on the expected volatility of interest rates using market data and analysis.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2023
Note 22. Financial instruments (continued)
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.
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.

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 $1,351,000 (2022:
$1,186,000) by discounting the remaining contractual maturities at current market interest rates for similar financial
instruments.

In 2022, the Board approved the terms and conditions of the current 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. Further
information is set out on the Notice of Meeting to the 2022 Annual General Meeting. 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 performance and/or service-related conditions as
determined by the Board 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.

or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the

significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the Directors’ Declaration of the

In our opinion, the financial report of Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited is in accordance with the
Corporations Act 2001, including:
a) Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2023
and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and

those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Report section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis

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.

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 2023, 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.
62
Other Information (cont’d)
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.
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:
•
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.
• 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.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors.
63
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report (cont’d)
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30
June 2023. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Kip McGrath Education Centres Limited for
the year ended 30 June 2023, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
64
Responsibilities
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the
Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
