Chairman’s letter to shareholders
30 June 2018
Dear Shareholders,
I have pleasure in presenting to you the 2018 Annual Report of Knosys Limited.
I am very pleased to report that the Company has had a successful year during 2018. The initiatives and changes effected
by our CEO Mr John Thompson, following his comprehensive review of all aspects of the Company’s business during the
prior year, have enabled the Company to progress well in 2018.
Under the leadership of the Board and John Thompson, the Company has transformed into a sales-focused technology
business. The establishment of a national sales team and the refinement of our sales proposition has resulted in strong
sales growth in 2018. This more focused sales strategy, targeting Tier 1 and Tier 2 customers in the Banking,
Legal/Government and Telecommunication sectors has resulted in increased use of the Knosys technology by existing
customers and has delivered customers of similar scale to the ANZ Bank and in the 200-500 user range during the year. We
believe that Knosys is well placed to continue this sales success.
The Knosys product offering, Knowledge IQ, has been further refined and developed in 2018 by the Company’s in-house
development team to ensure it is a relevant, easy to use and marketable product. This is another key strategic response to
feedback from customers and prospective customers that has enabled sales growth and the retention of major customers.
The Board is confident that John Thompson and his team will deliver further success for Knosys and its shareholders as we
continue to grow and evolve the Company in the years ahead.
In May 2018 the Company announced a $4 million capital raising. Knosys completed an oversubscribed share placement to
sophisticated investors in May 2018, raising $1.37m (before costs), and followed this with a 7 for 19 Rights Issue, which
completed subsequent to year end, on 2 August 2018, raising $2.65m (before costs). The raising of these funds enabled the
company to repay the holders of convertible notes maturing on 31 May 2018 and has ensured the Company is well funded to
progressively increase investment in the Company’s sales, marketing, product development and customer success teams in
order to drive APAC customer and revenue growth.
On behalf of the Directors I would like to thank all investors who supported this fund raising initiative and I thank all stakeholders
who have taken an interest in the Company and that have continued to support us. The Board also congratulates and thanks
John Thompson, Stephen Kerr and Nic Passmore and their team of committed employees on a successful 2018 and looks
forward to further success ahead
I present to you the report on the Company and its controlled entities for the financial period ended 30 June 2018.
Hon. Alan Stockdale AO

Directors' report
30 June 2018
The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as
the 'consolidated entity') consisting of Knosys Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'company' or 'parent entity') and the entities
it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2018.
Directors
The following persons were directors of Knosys Limited during the period from 1 July 2017 to the date of this report, unless
otherwise stated:
Hon. Alan Stockdale (Non-executive Chairman)
Richard Levy (Non-executive Director)
Peter Pawlowitsch (Non-executive Director)
Principal activities
During the financial year the principal continuing activities of the consolidated entity consisted of:
● Computer software sales, licencing and development.
Dividends
No dividends were paid or declared during the financial year.
Review of operations
The 2018 financial year has been a very positive year for Knosys. Key financial metrics have been significantly improved in
line with the Board’s plans:
• Operating revenue for the consolidated entity increased by 225% to $2,625,906 (2017 revenue: $808,744);
• The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax reduced by 61% to a loss of $806,067 (2017 loss:
$2,085,018);
• The licensed user base of the Knosys product had increased by over 80% to over 29,900 by the end of 2018; and
• The consolidated entity had net assets of $1,614,550 at 30 June 2018 and cash on hand of $1,065,266.
Subsequent to year end, cash on hand was over $3.0million on 15 August 2018 upon the completion of the non-
renounceable rights issue and payment of associated costs (refer to “Matters subsequent to the end of the
financial year” on page 2 of this report).
The consolidated entity is adequately funded and has the resources to pursue its business objectives and its sales and
marketing initiatives and to continue the development of its product. The addition of several high value customer projects
coming online toward the end of the 2018 financial year improved overall performance and will help to further drive
increased revenue for FY19.
Overview of Knosys
Knosys is a leading provider of knowledge management software that enables companies through a machine learning
approach to discover and deliver personalised information to staff and customers to transform business productivity and
engagement. Knosys software helps our users save money and drive the productivity of staff across many areas of their
business from contact centres, distributed frontline offices, sales teams, communications and marketing and many more.
The solution is designed to be the #1 used app in the life of an information worker being available on their desktop, tablet
or smartphone. It drives productivity and optimizes processes by incorporating process wizards, decision guidance,
collaboration & feedback while at the same time learning based on user behaviours, patterns and profiles. It also acts as
the single knowledge hub from which all digital engagement solutions such as chatbots, web sites, self-service kiosks can
consume relevant information interact with end customers in a consistent manner. Our vision is simple but clear, to be a
leading knowledge management and business process platform, supporting our end customers transformation and
engagement initiatives.
Established Growth Platform
Knosys has established a strong platform to capitalise on growth in the knowledge management and business process
guidance markets. Towards the end of FY17 the consolidated entity commenced a program to expand its Australian based
sales teams and delivery teams to support the expected increase in number of customers going forward. The consolidated
entity has commenced its expansion into Singapore with its first local customer and once the system is deployed will
provide an incredible opportunity to promote further sales in the region.
The consolidated entity continues to have a significant sales pipeline in Australia and New Zealand markets, and is actively
working to prioritise these opportunities to convert them into subscription based contracts. The SaaS based delivery model
is resonating well with the customer base and so is our ability to deploy on-premise which many competitors no longer
support.

Directors' report
30 June 2018
Outlook
As we continue to see the expansion of the market and the adoption of knowledge management and business process
technology, Knosys is well placed to expand its customer base and add to our offerings through internal developments and
acquisition of technologies. Whilst our efforts are focused on direct initiatives, Knosys is also planning further
developments that will allow greater partnership opportunities with global software vendors to address local and
international opportunities going forward.
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, other than those
discussed already in the review of operations.
Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
The following matters occurred subsequent to the end of the financial year:
• On 31 July 2018 the consolidated entity announced that ANZ Bank had signed a three (3) year contract extension
for the continued use of Knosys’ knowledge management platform. ANZ also has the option to extend the contract
further via two one-year extensions. The potential value of the contract over the entire 5-year life is expected to
exceed $6.5 million; and
• On 2 August 2018 the consolidated entity announced the completion of a 7 for 19 non-renounceable rights issue,
raising $2.65m (before costs of $0.16m).
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2018 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
Following the successful capital raising concluded in early August, the consolidated entity intends to progressively increase
investment in the Company’s sales, marketing, product development and customer success teams in order to drive APAC
customer and revenue growth. The consolidated entity intends to exploit its successful contract announcements with Singtel
and Optus by recruiting additional business development and marketing employees. These additional employees will focus
primarily on making sales of the Company’s leading software platform, KnowledgeIQ. The Company also intends to
commence a broader digital marketing campaign and sponsorship of industry conferences to build brand awareness of
Knosys. Growth aspirations include the intention to expand further into Singapore with the opening of a local office to facilitate
better engagement with customers, prospects and partners, with a view to growing Company’s sales footprint in the APAC
region. The Company also intends to continue to invest in ongoing product development and innovation, focusing on
integrations and enhancements to simplify usage and drive adoption of KnowledgeIQ.
Further information on likely developments in the operations of the consolidated entity and the expected results of operations
have not been included in this report because the directors believe it would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to
the consolidated entity.
Environmental regulation
The consolidated entity is not subject to any significant environmental regulation under Australian Commonwealth or State
law.

Remuneration Report (audited)
The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the consolidated entity, in
accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.
Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the
activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors.
The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:
● Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
● Details of remuneration
● Service agreements
● Share-based compensation
● Additional information
● Additional disclosures relating to key management personnel
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. The Board of Directors ('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 executive compensation
● transparency
The performance of the consolidated entity depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The remuneration
philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high-quality personnel. The executive remuneration
framework is structured to be market competitive and complementary to the strategy of the consolidated entity.
Non-executive directors’ remuneration
Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-executive directors'
fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. The Board may, from time to time, receive advice from independent
remuneration consultants to ensure non-executive directors' fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market.
No such advice was sought for the financial year ended 30 June 2018. The chairman's fees are determined independently
to the fees of other non-executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The chairman is not present
at any discussions relating to the determination of his own remuneration.
ASX listing rules require the aggregate non-executive directors’ remuneration be determined periodically by a general
meeting. The current maximum aggregate remuneration payable to non-executive directors of the consolidated entity in any
financial year is $500,000.
Executive remuneration
The consolidated entity aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration based on their position and
responsibility, which has both fixed and variable components.
The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components:
● base pay, superannuation and non-monetary benefits
● short-term performance incentives
● share-based payments
● other remuneration such as long service leave
The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration.
Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the
Board, based on individual performance and the overall performance of the consolidated entity and comparable market
remunerations.

Knosys Limited
Directors' report
30 June 2018
Executives may 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 provides additional value to the
executive.
The short-term incentives ('STI') program is designed to align the targets of the business with the targets of those executives
responsible for meeting those targets. STI payments are granted to executives based on specific targets and/or key
performance indicators ('KPI's') being achieved. These targets are discussed in further detail in the description of service
agreements which forms part of this Remuneration Report.
The long-term incentives ('LTI') include long service leave and share-based payments. Options are awarded to executives,
vesting over a period of three years based on elapsed time and/or achievement of long-term incentive measures.
Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration
Remuneration for certain individuals is directly linked to the performance of the consolidated entity. A portion of cash bonus
and incentive payments are dependent on defined revenue and earnings targets being met. The remaining portion of the
cash bonus and incentive payments are at the discretion of the Board.
In considering the performance of the consolidated entity and benefits for shareholder wealth, the remuneration committee
have regard to the following indices in respect of the current financial year and the previous financial years.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2018
Note 1. Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies
have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued
by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial
performance or position of the consolidated entity.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early
adopted.
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate
for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires
management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas
involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the
financial statements, are disclosed in note 2.
Legal 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 legal parent entity is disclosed in note 16.
Principles of consolidation
A controlled entity is any entity controlled by an accounting acquirer. Control exists where an entity has the capacity and
power to govern the decision-making in relation to the financial and operating policies of an investee and also participate in
the variable returns of that investee.
All inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the Consolidated Entity, including any unrealised profits or
losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of controlled entities have been changed where
necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies adopted by the parent entity.
Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Knosys Limited's functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation
at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in
profit or loss.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the consolidated entity and the revenue can
be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Licence fees and rendering of services
Licence fee revenue and rendering of services revenue from implementation and consulting fees is recognised by reference
to the stage of completion of the contracts.
19
Knosys Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2018
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Stage of completion is measured by reference to the licence fee period and to labour hours incurred to date as a percentage
of total estimated labour hours for each contract. Where the contract outcome cannot be reliably estimated, revenue is only
recognised to the extent of the recoverable costs incurred to date.
Research and development tax refund income
Research and development tax refund income is measured on an accruals basis when the refund can be reliably
determined.
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.
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, 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 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.
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 provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written
off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is raised when there is objective
evidence that the consolidated entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the
receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial
reorganisation and default or delinquency in payments (more than 60 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade
receivable may be impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset's carrying amount
and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to
short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment.
Property, plant and equipment
Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment
loss. If significant parts of an item of property plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as
separate items of property, plant and equipment. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property plant and equipment is
recognised in profit or loss.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated to write off the costs of the items of property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives
and is generally recognised in profit and loss. Depreciation methods and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting period
and adjusted if appropriate.
The estimated useful life of property, plant and equipment for current and comparative periods is as follows:
- Plant and equipment 3 years.
20
Knosys Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2018
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services
received by the Group during the reporting period, which remains unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability
with the amount being normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past
event, it is probable the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of
the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to
settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The
increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be wholly
settled 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
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be wholly 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 using the projected unit credit method. 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 national 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
either the Black-Scholes option pricing model or the Binomial Option Valuation model each of which takes into account the
exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the
underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-
vesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to
receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting
period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate
of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit
or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous
periods.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions
are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are
satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An
additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value
of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2018
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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.
Compound financial instruments – Convertible notes
Compound financial instruments issued by the consolidated entity comprise convertible notes and attaching options, as
disclosed in Note 23, that can be converted to ordinary shares at the election of the holder by a certain date and where the
number of shares to be issued is fixed and does not vary with changes in fair value.
The liability component of compound financial instruments is initially recognised at the fair value of a similar liability that does
not have an equity conversion option. The equity component of the financial instrument is initially recognised as the difference
between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the fair value of the liability component is remeasured at each relevant balance date. The
equity component is not remeasured.
Interest calculated on the liability component of the compound financial instrument is recognised in the statement of profit
and loss. On conversion, the financial liability is reclassified to equity and no gain or loss is recognised.
Revenue billed in advance
Revenue billed in advance is recognised as a current liability in the statement of financial position. The balance of revenue
billed in advance represents the unearned revenue portion of amounts invoiced to customers, in accordance with the terms
of customer contracts, and paid or payable by the customer at reporting date. As the revenue billed in advance is earned by
the consolidated entity, the relevant portion of revenue is relieved from the balance of revenue billed in advance and taken
to the profit and loss in accordance with the consolidated entity’s revenue recognition policy.
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.
Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and
requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets
and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the
risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of leased assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor effectively
retains substantially all such risks and benefits.
Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the fair value of the leased assets, or if lower,
the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are allocated between the principal component of the lease
liability and the finance costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the asset's useful life or over the shorter of the asset's
useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the consolidated entity will obtain ownership at the end
of the lease term.
Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis
over the term of the lease.

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit/loss attributable to members of the Company, adjusted to exclude any
costs of servicing equity (other than dividends), divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue during
the relevant period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit/loss attributable to members of the Company, adjusted for:
• costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);
• the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as
expenses;
• and other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of
potential ordinary shares;
• divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus
element, during the relevant period.
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 2017. 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.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard provides a single
standard for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the
transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects
to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will require: contracts (either written, verbal or implied)
to be identified, together with the separate performance obligations within the contract; determine the transaction price,
adjusted for the time value of money excluding credit risk; allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance
obligations on a basis of relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service, or estimation approach if no
distinct observable prices exist; and recognition of revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Credit risk will be
presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted to revenue. For goods, the performance obligation would be
satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods. For services, the performance obligation is satisfied when the
service has been provided, typically for promises to transfer services to customers. For performance obligations satisfied
over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of progress to determine how much revenue should be recognised
as the performance obligation is satisfied. Contracts with customers will be presented in an entity's statement of financial
position as a contract liability, a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity's
performance and the customer's payment. Sufficient quantitative and qualitative disclosure is required to enable users to
understand the contracts with customers; the significant judgments made in applying the guidance to those contracts; and
any assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer.
Management has considered the impact of AASB 15 and note, based on the analysis performed, that the impact on the
consolidated entity would not be material. Under AASB 15 the consolidated entity plans to adopt the modified retrospective
approach. The consolidated entity does not anticipate that there will be significant implications of this change in respect of
current contracts. The consolidated entity will consider the application of AASB 15 with respect to new contracts as they are
entered into. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018.
23
Knosys Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2018
Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
AASB 16 Leases
AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities, on a net
present value basis, for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. A lessee
is required to recognise a right of use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a lease liability
representing its obligations to make lease payments. A lessee recognises depreciation of the right of use asset and interest
on the lease liability, and also classifies cash repayments of the lease liability into a principal portion and an interest portion
and presents them in the statement of cash flows.
Management has considered the impact of AASB 16 and note, based on the analysis performed, that there would be a
material impact on the consolidated entity. It is expected that the operating lease commitments identified in Note 14 to the
financial statements will be required to be included in the consolidated statement of financial position when AASB 16
becomes effective.

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in
relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and
assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management
believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal
the related actual results. The following key judgements are relevant to these financial statements:
Estimation of accrued research and development tax refund
As at 30 June 2017 the consolidated entity had accrued $228,071 in accrued research and development tax refund credits
in-respect of the 2017 tax return. The directors of the consolidated entity engaged an industry expert to prepare and lodge
this return. This amount plus an additional $113,547 was receipted into the bank in May 2018 in regard to the 2017 tax return
and R&D claim. Based upon the methodology adopted by the industry expert, the consolidated entity has accrued a research
and development tax refund receivable of $361,073 for the 2018 financial year. Key matters considered by the directors in
calculating this accrual included the following:
- The historical success of lodging and receipting such claims;
- The quantum of eligible research and development spend made during the period; and
- A consideration of any potential change in the assessment of eligibility criteria as gazetted by the Federal
government.
Convertible notes
As stated in Note 23, under Australian accounting standards AASB 132, the convertible note is classified as a compound
financial instrument. When the initial carrying amount of a compound financial instrument is allocated to its equity and liability
components, the equity component is assigned the residual amount after deducting from the fair value of the instrument as
a whole the amount separately determined for the liability component. The issuer must first determine the carrying amount
of the instrument’s liability component by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated equity
component. The carrying amount of the equity instrument represented by the option to convert the instrument into ordinary
shares is then determined by deducting the fair value of the financial liability from the fair value of the compound financial
instrument as a whole. Management judgements and estimates are required in referencing market interest rates for such
instruments and in determining the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated equity component.
Management has determined that a discount rate of 24% is appropriate, this being derived by referencing required rates of
return for private capital markets.
Share based payments
As stated in Note 1, the consolidated entity has issued options and loans shares to directors, executives and staff as part of
their remuneration arrangements and has issued options and shares to third parties in consideration for consultancy services
received. Management judgements and estimates are required in determining the cost of these equity-settled transactions
which have been measured by taking 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.
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.

Note 9. Equity - issued capital (continued)
Capital risk management
The consolidated entity's objectives when managing capital is 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.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the consolidated entity may issue new shares or return capital to
shareholders.
Note 10. Financial instruments
Financial risk management objectives
The consolidated entity's activities expose it to two financial risks: credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated entity's
overall risk management program, which is managed at Board level, focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and
seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity
uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include ageing analysis for
credit risk and cash flow forecasting for liquidity risk.
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 a code of credit, including obtaining agency credit information, confirming
references and setting appropriate credit limits. The consolidated entity obtains guarantees where appropriate to mitigate
credit risk. 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. The consolidated entity does not hold any collateral.
Liquidity risk
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the consolidated entity to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash
equivalents) to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable. All amounts payable are within agreed
terms. All third party payment terms are less than 60 days (2017: less than 60 days).
The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves by continuously monitoring actual and
forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Fair value of financial instruments
Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reasonably approximate their fair value.

Note 20. Share-based payments
Loan funded share plan and loan funded shares
A loan funded share plan (LFSP) has been established by the consolidated entity, whereby the consolidated entity may, at
the discretion of the Board, issue loan funded fully paid ordinary shares in the company to personnel of the consolidated
entity. Participants acquire loan funded shares using a loan provided by the consolidated entity. The loan is interest-free and
limited recourse in accordance with the loan terms and the LFSP rules. The LFSP rules require the loan to be repaid before
a participant can receive any proceeds from the sale of their shares. The Board has the discretion to impose such vesting
conditions in relation to the loan funded shares as it deems appropriate. These may include conditions relating to continued
employment or service, performance (of the participant or the consolidated entity) and the occurrence of specific events.
The consolidated entity has also issued loan funded fully paid ordinary shares in the company to executives on the same
terms as the LFSP,
The issuing of these loan funded shares gives rise to an ongoing employment benefit expense each financial period and this
is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy on employee benefits, as detailed in Note 1. The expense is
included in the share based payment expense amount listed in Note 4.
As at 30 June 2018 the following loan funded shares had been granted under the LFSP:

Employee share option plan
An employee share option plan (ESOP) has been established by the consolidated entity, whereby the consolidated entity
may, at the discretion of the Board, grant options over ordinary shares in the company to personnel of the consolidated entity.
The options are issued for nil consideration and are granted in accordance with time based and/or performance targets
established by the Board. The granting of these options gives rise to an ongoing employment benefit expense each financial
period and this is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy on employee benefits, as detailed in Note 1. The
expense is included in the share based payment expense amount listed in Note 4.

year (but who still held their options during 2017) and were included in the 2017 table.
Vesting and Entitlement
For the options issued on 9 May 2015, the Options vested over time, in equal amounts (except for slight adjustments to avoid
fractions) every three months, commencing 1 July 2015 with the final vesting date being 1 April 2018. For the Options issued
on 29 June 2015, 20,000 Options vested on the first two vesting dates, and 38,500 Options vested on subsequent vesting
dates. If the relevant holder is no longer employed or engaged, as the case may be, by the Group on a vesting date, the
Options will not vest to that holder. Options that have previously vested in the holder shall be retained by the holder. The
Options will entitle the holder to subscribe for one Share upon the exercise of each Option that has vested in the holder.
The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding at the end of the financial year was 1 year.

Note 23 Convertible Note
During the previous financial period the Company raised $1,650,040 through the issue of 13,750,337 convertible notes on
the following terms:
• Face value per note: 12 cents
• Conversion ratio: 1 note = 1 ordinary share
• Attaching option: 1:1 attaching option received on note conversion.
• Maturity date of convertible note: 31 May 2018.
• Conversion date of convertible note: Maturity date or earlier at the option of the noteholder
•
•
• Exercise price of an attaching option: 15 cents
• Expiry date of an attaching option: 31 May 2018
Interest payment date: At the earlier of maturity date or conversion date
Interest rate: 10% per annum
Under Australian accounting standards AASB 132, the Company has classified the convertible note as a compound financial
instrument. The initial carrying amount of the convertible note has been allocated to its equity and liability components. The
equity component is assigned the residual amount after deducting from the fair value of the instrument as a whole the
amount separately determined for the liability component.
The Company determined the carrying amount of the liability component by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that
does not have an associated equity component. The carrying amount of the convertible note represented by the option to
convert the instrument into ordinary shares was then determined by deducting the fair value of the financial liability from the
fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole.
During the year 2,000,000 convertible notes were converted to fully paid ordinary shares, with an issue price of 12 cents per
share. The balance of 11,750,337 convertible notes matured on 31 May 2018 and were repaid in full and accrued interest
was also paid at that time.
