29 October 2021
Dear Shareholders,
I have pleasure in presenting to you the 2021 Annual Report on behalf of the Board of Knosys Limited.
The 2021 financial year was a busy year for Knosys, and I am pleased to report that the Company has taken
significant early steps in building a global technology company with a multi-SaaS offering.
Over the past year, our revenue growth was driven by both acquisitions and underlying organic growth.
Revenue increased by 46% to $4.6m in the 2021 financial year, including 22% organic revenue growth from
the KIQ Knowledge Management business and 24% acquisition revenue growth, reflecting a three-month
contribution from GreenOrbit.
In the 2021 financial year, we successfully deployed a standalone Knowledge IQ system with ANZ Bank New
Zealand, and we re-signed several large Enterprise customers throughout the year.
We were very pleased to report that our underlying operations were profitable in the 2021 financial year,
generating net profit before transaction costs and income tax of $16K. Acquisition costs of $559K were
incurred throughout the year, and the consolidated net loss after income tax was $543K. This was a
significant improvement on the net loss of $908K in the 2020 financial year.
In the 2021 financial year, we welcomed Kathrin Mutinelli and Neil Wilson to the Knosys Board to expand the
Board’s capabilities to oversee the next phase of growth. Neil Wilson has extensive business experience in
the IT and software sectors and Kathrin Mutinelli brings additional capabilities in corporate strategy.
We expanded our capital base in the 2021 financial year, with a placement in December 2020, raising $3m
(before costs) resulting in the issue of 21,428,571 shares. In March 2021, 36,978,000 shares were issued as
purchase consideration to the vendors on completion of the $5m GreenOrbit acquisition. We appreciate the
support received from existing and new shareholders in these capital initiatives.
With the acquisition of GreenOrbit in March 2021, we have significantly expanded our customer base,
broadened the mix of enterprise and mid-market customers and we have diversified our geography from
APAC into key global markets, including the US and Europe.
The acquisition of LIBERO, which was completed in August 2021, will further diversify our customer base into
tertiary institutions and public libraries, as well as expand our presence in Germany and other European
markets.

Annual Report 2020-2021Chairman’s letter to shareholders
Once again, our business model and SaaS product offering have proven to be resilient throughout the COVID-
19 pandemic. We continue to benefit from global industry trends driving digital transformation and the push
towards superior online engagement with both employees and customers.
During the year, partly as a result of the changes brought about by our acquisitions, the Board and senior
management brought an even sharper focus to bear on corporate strategy. Whilst strong cost control and
working for both organic growth and via acquisitions the Knosys business strategy, is now deliberately
emphasizing growth as the core objective. The suite of products we can now offer the market is opening up
new opportunities for cross-selling, upselling and geographic expansion for our offerings as a whole.
In the 2022 financial year, we will accelerate investment in customer acquisition and cross-selling to drive
future growth and we continue to assess complementary acquisitions to support our market positioning as a
SaaS solution provider helping businesses manage information and knowledge.
We have a solid base of recurring revenue, a sound cash balance and we are well positioned to continue
growing in the years ahead.
On behalf of the Directors, I would like to thank all shareholders for their continuing support and wish them all
the best in these challenging times.

29 October 2021
Dear Shareholders,
It is my pleasure to present the Knosys Annual Report for the 12 months ended 30 June 2021 (FY21).
The year was successful and transformational for Knosys through the effective execution of our growth
strategy to become one of the largest Australian-based providers of information management and
knowledge-based solutions across the globe.
Today, with over 60 IT professionals, Knosys is the partner of choice for over 380 enterprise and mid-market
clients across a diverse range of industries including banking, health, telecommunications and retail to
name a few.
In FY21, the Company hit several key financial objectives including increasing income and annualised revenue
to deliver a positive EBITDA and NPAT (before transaction costs).
In March 2021, Knosys completed the acquisition of GreenOrbit and in August 2021, the acquisition of LIBERO
was completed. This delivered on Knosys’ strategic objectives of expanding its solution portfolio, scaling its
operations internationally and diversifying its customer base.
FY21 also saw the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated economic and business
uncertainty. Knosys continued its focused response, supporting our people as they worked from home whilst
continuing to deliver uninterrupted services to our customers across the globe. I would like to take the
opportunity to thank all of our people who have performed incredibly well under extraordinary conditions.
Knosys enters the 2022 financial year with optimism of an exciting and successful year ahead. Knosys now has
a solid foundation in place, with over 380 customers across 14 countries and an annualised recurring revenue
(ARR) of over $8m. In addition, we remain focused on continued organic growth, exploiting acquisition
synergies and exploring potential opportunities for expansion into adjacent and new markets.

Annual Report 2020-2021CEO’s Letter to Shareholders
Knosys achieved growth in all key financial metrics in the 2021 financial year:
In FY21, Knosys generated revenue of $4.6m, up 46% from $3.1m in FY20. This significant revenue growth was
driven by organic growth of 22% and acquisition growth of 24%. The organic growth included the
professional services contract with ANZ Bank New Zealand to deploy a standalone KnowledgeIQ system in
country. The acquisition revenue of $757K, reflected a three-month contribution from the GreenOrbit
acquisition, which was completed on 30 March 2021.
Issued capital increased to $16.1m in FY21, up from $8.3m in FY20. The company issued 21,428,571 shares, at
an issue price of $0.14, via a placement in December 2020 and February 2021 to a microcap fund and to
sophisticated and professional investors, raising $3m (before costs) for working capital and investment in

purchase consideration to the vendors on completion of the $5m GreenOrbit acquisition.

Review of Operations
Overview
In the digital world, businesses are facing three common challenges: information overload, information silos
and compliance. Knosys develops software to empower organisations, providing them with new ways to
find, use and share information and knowledge, allowing them to better deliver such to their customers,
employees and stakeholders.
Our range of software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions boost productivity, collaboration and connectivity in the
digital workplace, delivering information that is easy to access and secure, but more importantly with
relevance and clarity.
Board Expansion
Knosys made changes to its Board of Directors during the year to reflect its focus on accelerating the
expansion of its business. In the 1st half of FY20, Kathrin Mutinelii and Neil Wilson were appointed as Non-
Executive Directors. Both have contributed significantly to the development of the next three year business
strategy and will play an important role, with the rest of the Board, in overseeing the growth plans and
execution going forward.
Our Solutions
Our focus is on developing solutions that enable businesses to make the most of information and knowledge
assets that sit within their organisation. This currently includes knowledge management, intranet and library
management solutions.
Knowledge Management
Knosys has a market leading, Enterprise solution, KnowledgeIQ, which is designed to provide customers
and their staff with personalised information that will transform business productivity and engagement. The
Knosys solution is also available to mid-market customers through KIQ Cloud, which is a cloud-based service
offering mid-market customers an easier onboarding process, lower total cost of ownership and faster
implementation compared to our Enterprise solution.
KIQ Cloud is an omni-channel knowledge management solution designed to simplify and centralise the
organising and sharing of knowledge. KIQ Cloud makes it easy for teams and individuals to find the right
information, exactly when they need it, and provides direction for work-flows, processes and compliance.
The cloud service is perfect for businesses that operate customer contact centres, service desks, frontline
offices or online self-service channels.
Employee Experience
Knosys provides Employee Experience solutions, under the GreenOrbit brand, which is all about empowering
employees in the digital workplace by providing the best employee tools to communicate, collaborate and
engage through an intelligent intranet. These intranet solutions facilitate efficient and secure internal
communications and information sharing. Clients include both SMEs and blue-chip organisations.
Library Management
Knosys provides Library Management solutions, following the acquisition of LIBERO. This solution delivers a
new digital experience to employees and in managing library asset collections and interactions with library
customers and members. The software solution allows multiple sites to share collections of items, allows
employees and customers to better search for items, analyses usage patterns and automates processes to
streamline engagement with digital users. Clients are predominately public libraries or tertiary
education institutions.

Marketing Activities
In FY21, Knosys engaged a marketing agency to assist in its re-branding strategy and to further refine the
customer value propositions. A new VP of Global Sales and Marketing and a new Digital Marketing Manager
started in January 2021, as well as three new sales representatives who started in March 2021 – two in the US
and one in Singapore.
The new Company website was launched in May 2021, with an updated brand tagline ‘Connecting People
and Information’ and an updated vision to ‘empower organisations to make smart connections with
their information’.
Future Focus
Knosys is now accelerating its growth strategy, focused on continuing to build out its product portfolio in
order to provide a complete set of proprietary information and knowledge related solutions for its clients.
The primary objective is to maximise shareholder value by increasing the growth of high-margin annuity-
based income. Knosys’ growth strategy is based on the following key pillars:
1. Expand usage by existing customers – new features driving uplift in more users, more sites and more
geographies plus cross sell
2. New customer growth in global markets – focus on increased penetration in existing markets
3. Expand proprietary intellectual property – invest in client driven advanced product development
programs targeting high-demand modules
4. Merger & Acquisition - continue to drive the Company’s acquisition strategy to expand on capabilities
and increase shareholder value through annual recurring revenue growth
In FY22, Knosys will accelerate investment in customer acquisition and cross-selling to drive future revenue
growth. This increased investment in sales and marketing will be funded by existing cash resources and is
expected to accelerate revenue growth in FY22.
Over the past year, we have built the foundations of our global multi-SaaS offering and we commence the
new financial year with a healthy cash balance and a strong recurring revenue base. We enter FY22 with
optimism and a strong sales pipeline, as we focus on further accelerating revenue growth and integrating our
acquisitions. We will continue to assess further complementary acquisitions which support our market
positioning as a SaaS solution provider, helping businesses manage information and knowledge.
Thanks for your support over the past year and we look forward to an exciting year of growth ahead.

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year, other than those
The 2021 financial year has been one of stepped change, with the acquisition of Greenorbit Pty Ltd (“GreenOrbit” or “GO”)
on 30 March 2021, and continued revenue growth in Knosys business revenues.
Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
• Total operating revenue for the consolidated entity increased by 46% to $4,594,082 (2020 revenue: $3,137,317);
o 22% of this growth was generated organically from the existing KIQ knowledge management business
o 24% of this growth was due to the 3 month contribution from the GO business from acquisition date
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and, while the impact has not been financially negative for the
consolidated entity up to 30 June 2021, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the
reporting date. The situation continues to be challenging and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian
Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing, lockdowns, quarantine measures, travel restrictions
• Profit before transaction costs and income tax was $15,525 (2020 loss: $908,391)
and any economic stimulus that may be provided.
• The consolidated entity incurred transaction costs related to the acquisition of businesses of $559,363 (2020: Nil)
• The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax was $543,838 (2020 loss: $908,391);
• Net cash inflow from operating activities was $580,114 (2020 outflow: $477,607); and
• The consolidated entity had net assets of $10,017,838 at 30 June 2021 (2020: $2,591,180)
• The consolidated entity held cash and cash equivalents of $6,532,415 (2020: $2,335,909). Subsequent to year-
end, total cash balances were $7.8 million at 31 July 2021, after the collection of certain annual licence fees and
other June 2021 receivables.
The consolidated entity is the owner of KnowledgeIQ (“KIQ”) knowledge management solution and GreenOrbit intranet
solution. It is a global information technology company offering a range of software solutions designed to boost
productivity, collaboration and connectivity in the digital workplace. The consolidated entity’s business model is software-
as-a-service (“SaaS”), with a recurring subscription fee payable by clients on a per User basis, complemented by
implementation fees and customer support services.
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and, while the impact has not been financially negative for
the consolidated entity for the year to June 2021, it is not practicable to estimate the impact of the pandemic, positive or
negative, for this period or after the reporting date. The situation continues to develop and is dependent on a variety of
measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, including the rollout of vaccines. The consolidated
entity has noted that some prospective new customers have been deferring decisions to contract Knosys products because
of concerns about the pandemic and its economic and business effects. This trend is still evident to some extent. Against
this background, Knosys’ Board and management consider that the results for the year and the success in the company’s
M&A plans are encouraging in respect of the business outlook when, eventually, the pandemic is under control around the
world.
Principal activities
During the financial period the principal continuing activities of the consolidated entity were computer software development
and licencing.
On 1 July 2021, the Company announced to ASX that the consolidated entity had executed a conditional asset and share-
sale agreement to acquire the LIBERO business from Libero Software Pty Ltd and Insight Informatics Pty Ltd for a $5m
purchase price, comprising $4m Cash and $1m in Knosys shares. Acquisition completion, subject to the satisfaction of certain
agreed conditions, is expected to be no later than 31 August 2021.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 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
Knosys expects a continued expansion of the market and the adoption of its range of software solutions designed to boost
productivity, collaboration and connectivity in the digital workplace. The Company is again well placed to expand its
customer base and add to its offerings through internal developments and further acquisition of technologies.
The Company will receive the benefit of a full year contribution to revenues and net results from the GO business in the
year to 30 June 2022. The Company also expects, conditional on transaction completion, to receive the benefit of a part
year contribution to revenue and net results from the Libero business.
The consolidated entity has a significant sales pipeline in its global markets. The Company will continue to invest in sales
and marketing capability in the year to June 2022 in order to enable the Company to pursue the multiple enterprise and
mid-market opportunities in its sales pipeline, with the aim of converting them into subscription based contracts.
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.

solution. It is a global information technology company offering a range of software solutions designed to boost
productivity, collaboration and connectivity in the digital workplace. The consolidated entity’s business model is software-
as-a-service (“SaaS”), with a recurring subscription fee payable by clients on a per User basis, complemented by
implementation fees and customer support services.
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and, while the impact has not been financially negative for
the consolidated entity for the year to June 2021, it is not practicable to estimate the impact of the pandemic, positive or
negative, for this period or after the reporting date. The situation continues to develop and is dependent on a variety of
measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, including the rollout of vaccines. The consolidated
entity has noted that some prospective new customers have been deferring decisions to contract Knosys products because
of concerns about the pandemic and its economic and business effects. This trend is still evident to some extent. Against
this background, Knosys’ Board and management consider that the results for the year and the success in the company’s
M&A plans are encouraging in respect of the business outlook when, eventually, the pandemic is under control around the
world.
Principal activities
and licencing.
During the financial period the principal continuing activities of the consolidated entity were computer software development
On 1 July 2021, the Company announced to ASX that the consolidated entity had executed a conditional asset and share-
sale agreement to acquire the LIBERO business from Libero Software Pty Ltd and Insight Informatics Pty Ltd for a $5m
purchase price, comprising $4m Cash and $1m in Knosys shares. Acquisition completion, subject to the satisfaction of certain
agreed conditions, is expected to be no later than 31 August 2021.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 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
Knosys expects a continued expansion of the market and the adoption of its range of software solutions designed to boost
productivity, collaboration and connectivity in the digital workplace. The Company is again well placed to expand its
customer base and add to its offerings through internal developments and further acquisition of technologies.
The Company will receive the benefit of a full year contribution to revenues and net results from the GO business in the
year to 30 June 2022. The Company also expects, conditional on transaction completion, to receive the benefit of a part
year contribution to revenue and net results from the Libero business.
The consolidated entity has a significant sales pipeline in its global markets. The Company will continue to invest in sales
and marketing capability in the year to June 2022 in order to enable the Company to pursue the multiple enterprise and
mid-market opportunities in its sales pipeline, with the aim of converting them into subscription based contracts.
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 2021. 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.
Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle

executive.

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

Non-audit services
The Board is responsible for the maintenance of audit independence. Specifically, the Board Charter ensures the
independence of the auditor is maintained by:
•
•
limiting the scope and nature of non-audit services that may be provided; and
requiring that permitted non-audit services must be pre-approved by the Chairman of the Board.
During the year William Buck, the Group’s auditor, has performed certain other services in addition to the audit and review
of the financial statements. The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and in
accordance with the advice provided by the Board, is satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services during the year
by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act
2001 for the following reasons:
• All non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Group and have been
reviewed by the Board to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
• The non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set
out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) as they did not
involve reviewing or auditing the auditors own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the
consolidated entity, acting as an advocate for the consolidated entity or jointly sharing risks and rewards.
Details of the amounts paid to the auditor of the consolidated entity, William Buck, for audit and non-audit services
provided during the year are set out in note 18.

Note 1. Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies
have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued
by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
From 1 July 2020 the following new accounting standards have been adopted by the consolidated entity:
profit or loss.
Foreign operations
The revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting
AASB 2018-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of a Business
AASB 2018-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of Material
The consolidated entity has assessed that these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations will not have
any material effect on the financial statements of the company for this reporting period.
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 21.
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 presentation currency. The
consolidated entity operates in functional currencies relative to the specific geographical location of the entity within the
consolidated entity.

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
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.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments
Business combinations
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 Group assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate
classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group's operating or
accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date.
Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the Group remeasures its previously held equity interest in the
acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is
recognised in profit or loss.
Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent
changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss.
Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest
in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the
acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value
of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly
in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement
of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer's
previously held equity interest in the acquirer.
Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the
provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based
on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement
period ends on either the earlier of
(i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or
(ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value.

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
Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over time as the services are rendered based on either a fixed
price or an hourly rate.
The consolidated entity earns revenues from its software services. Of these, a portion relates to licensing and support of its
software, which is performed over a period of time and for which revenue is recognised over a period of time due to the
customer only having a right of access over the software throughout the contract period. For software implementation
services provided to the customer, which is specified in the customer contract, revenue is recognised over time as that
implementation is performed.
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.
Refer to Note 26 segment note for a disaggregation of revenue per geographical location.
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.
or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
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 receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method, less provisions for impairment, doubtful debts and rebates. Trade receivables are generally due for
In relation to the financial assets carried at amortised cost, AASB 9 requires an expected credit loss model to be applied.
The expected credit loss model requires the Group to account for expected credit losses and changes in those expected
credit losses at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the financial asset. AASB 9
requires the Group to measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss (“ECL”) if the credit
risk on the instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk on the financial instrument has not
increased significantly since initial recognition the Group is required to measure the loss allowance for that financial
instrument at an amount equal to the ECL within the next 12 months. The Group has adopted the simplified approach to
recognizing an ECL for trade and other receivables. Based on the nature of the Groups’ business there have been no credit
losses recorded in the previous financial periods and thus no ECL has been recorded.
The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive
Income within other expenses.
When a trade receivable, for which an impairment allowance had been recognised, becomes uncollectible in a subsequent
period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited
against other expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

Right-of-use assets
Items of plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss. If
significant parts of an item of plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items
of plant and equipment. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the costs of the items of 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
The estimated useful life of plant and equipment for current and comparative periods is 3 years.
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 payment 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. When 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
The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term
leases with a term of 12 months or leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expenses to profit or
loss as incurred.

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.
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 arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment,
or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired and is carried at cost less
accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed.
Research and development
Research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are expensed as they have not
satisfied the requirement for capitalisation under AASB 138 – Intangible assets.
Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the consolidated entity’s Directors review the carrying values of the consolidated entity’s tangible and
intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less cost to sell and value in use, is
compared to the assets carrying value. Any excess of the assets carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to
the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
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.
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.
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.
Revenue billed in advance
Revenue billed in advance represents contract liabilities that the consolidated entity is obliged to transfer 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.
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.

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 payment to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or,
if that rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated entity’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of
fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts
expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is
reasonably certain to occur and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on
an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
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
guarantees, lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an
adjustment is made to the following right-of-use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is
fully written down.
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.
Share based payments
Loss per share
Basic loss 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 Loss 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.

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 2020 the consolidated entity had accrued $495,958 in accrued research and development tax refund credits
in-respect of the 2020 tax return. The directors of the consolidated entity engaged an industry expert to prepare and lodge
this return. This amount plus an additional $119,094 was receipted into the bank in April 2021 in regard to the 2020 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 $500,000 for the 2021 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.
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.
Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
The consolidated entity tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether
goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy
stated in Note 1. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use
calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current
cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows.
Business combinations
As discussed in Note1, 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 Group 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

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

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)
Determination of lease term
In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive
to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination
options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated). Potential
future cash outflows have not been included in the lease liability because it is not reasonably certain that the leases will be
extended (or not terminated). The assessment is reviewed if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances
occurs which affects this assessment and that is within the control of the lessee.

All intangible assets are assessed at each reporting period for indicators of impairment. The consolidated entity operates
as a single operating segment and cash generating unit being a developer and licensor of computer software. Intangible
assets with an indefinite useful life are assessed for impairment under this cash generating unit.
The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is determined based on value-in-use calculations. Value-in-use is
calculated based on the present value of cash flow projections for the next five years. The cash flows are discounted using
estimated discount rate based on Capital Asset Pricing Model adjusted to incorporate risks associated with the software
development sector.
Management has based the value-in-use calculations on five-year budget forecasts of the software developer and licencing
business. Revenue has been projected on the below mentioned assumptions. Costs are calculated taking into account
historical gross margins as well as estimated weighted inflation rates over the period which is consistent with inflation rates
applicable to the locations in which the unit operates. Discount rates are post-tax and reflect risks associated with the
software development business.
The following assumptions were used in the value-in-use-calculations:
a. Revenue growth for years 1 is based on the Board approved budget of the consolidated entity, which includes the
impact of a full 12 months of revenue generation from the GreenOrbit business. A revenue growth rate of 10% has been
estimated for years 2 to 5 of the model. This is a conservative estimate in the future growth of the business.
b. Projected cash flows have been discounted using a post-tax discount rate of 15% (2020: N/A).
c. An annual growth rate of 2.5% (2020: N/A) has been estimated in the calculation of terminal value.
Based on the above assumptions, the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit has been determined to exceed its
carrying amount as at 30 June 2021 and accordingly, no impairment loss has been recognised.
Sensitivity to changes in assumptions
The impairment model is most sensitive to the following assumptions:
- Revenue forecasts assumption;
- Employment costs; and
- Discount rate.
No reasonable possible change in assumptions would result in an impairment charge being recognised.

Note 16. 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 (2020: 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. All liabilities are to be settled within
12 months except for lease liabilities which are to be settled as per the following categories:
Lease liabilities
Payable at the reporting date:

Note 23. Events after the reporting period
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and, while the impact has not been financially negative for
the consolidated entity up to 30 June 2021, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after
the reporting date. The situation continues to be challenging and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian
Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing, lockdowns, quarantine measures, travel restrictions
and any economic stimulus that may be provided.
On 1 July 2021, the Company announced to ASX that the consolidated entity had executed a conditional asset and share-
sale agreement to acquire the LIBERO business from Libero Software Pty Ltd and Insight Informatics Pty Ltd for a $5m
purchase price, comprising $4m Cash and $1m in Knosys shares. Acquisition completion, subject to the satisfaction of certain
agreed conditions, is expected to be no later than 31 August 2021.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 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.

Note 25. 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, the consolidated entity or the share price) and the occurrence of
specific events. The consolidated entity has also issued loan funded fully paid ordinary shares in the company to directors
and 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.

Independent auditor’s report to members
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Knosys Limited (the Company) and its controlled
entities (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at
30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement
of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the
directors’ declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the
Corporations Act 2001, including:
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its
financial performance for the year then ended; and
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations
2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are
independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of
the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional
and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants
(including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the
financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion.

Annual Report 2020-2021Independent auditor’s report to members
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, 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.
RECOGNITION OF REVENUE UNDER SERVICE CONTRACTS
How our audit addressed it
Our audit procedures included:
• Examining management’s revenue
recognition model to ensure compliance with
AASB 15;
• Testing of customer invoicing under the
contract; and
• Tracing through to new service contracts to
understand material terms and conditions,
including any particular seller warranties or
indemnities given and their potential impact
upon the revenue recognition model.
We have also assessed the adequacy of
disclosures in the notes to the financial report.
Area of focus
Refer also to notes 1, 3 and 14
The Group has service contracts with Its customers.
These service contracts have invoicing and payment
milestones included within their terms, which may or
may not be directly aligned with the performance of
services under the contract in accordance with AASB
15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
In order to accrue revenue appropriately in the
correct accounting period, management has
developed a model to recognise revenue when the
performance obligation is satisfied in each contract.
This includes identifying the specific performance
obligations within each customer agreement on
commencement.
There is a requirement for judgement in determining
which period to which the revenue should be
attributed. In designing the model management has
considered:
• Compliance with AASB 15 – Revenue from
contracts with customers;
• When the performance obligation is identified
and satisfied in respect to each component of
each contract; and
• The potential for any post-contract servicing work
to be performed at the conclusion of the contract
and whether an additional performance obligation
exists.
Based on the above revenue recognition was a key
area of focus for our audit.
64
Annual Report 2020-2021Independent auditor’s report to members
ACQUISITION OF THE GREENORBIT GROUP OF ENTITIES
Area of focus
Refer also to notes 1 and 28
The Group acquired the GreenOrbit group of
entities (“GreenOrbit”) on 30 March 2021 for a total
consideration of $5.0 million.
Accounting for this transaction is complex and
required significant judgements and estimates by
management on the initial entries recorded,
specifically to determine the fair value of assets and
liabilities acquired in the context of Australian
Accounting Standards, noting that they have been
described as provisional in the financial report.
As such this matter has been determined as a key
area of focus for our audit.
SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
Area of focus
Refer also to notes 1 and 25 and the Remuneration Report
The Group has issued loan funded shares for its
key management personnel and employees. The
plan includes a service-based vesting period for
shares issued to employees.
The loan funded shares arrangement, which form
part of the plan required significant judgements and
estimations by management, including the
following:
• Determination of the grant date of each
arrangement, and the evaluation of the fair
value of the underlying share price of the
company as at that grant date;
• The evaluation of the vesting charge taken to
the profit and loss in-respect of the accrual of
service conditions attached to those share-
based payment arrangements; and
• The evaluation of key inputs into the binomial
model, including the significant judgement of
the forecast volatility of the loan funded shares
over its exercise period.
The results of these share-based payment
arrangements materially affect the disclosures of
these financial statements, including the vesting
charge that affects disclosures of key management
personnel remuneration.
How our audit addressed it
Our audit procedures included:
• Assessing that the acquired entity meets the
definition of a business under AASB 3 –
Business Combinations;
• Reviewing the sale and purchase agreement
to understand the key terms and conditions of
the acquisition, including the date that control
passed to the Group; and
• Assessing the Group’s determination of fair
values of assets acquired by performing
specific audit procedures on opening
balances at acquisition date.
We have also assessed the adequacy of the
Group’s disclosures in respect of the acquisition in
the financial report.
How our audit addressed it
Our audit procedures included:
• Determining the grant dates and evaluating
what were the most appropriate dates based
on the terms and conditions of the share-
based payment arrangements;
• Evaluating the fair values of share-based
payment arrangements by agreeing
assumptions to third party evidence;
• Evaluating the progress of the vesting of
share-based payments within the service
period; and
• For the specific application of the binomial
model, we assessed the experience of the
expert used to advise the value of the
arrangements. We also assessed the
reasonableness of the assumptions detailed
in their report.
We have also assessed the adequacy of
disclosures in the notes to the financial report.

Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021 but does not include the financial
report and the auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express
any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in
doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true
and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group 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 Group or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted
in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of these financial statements is located at the
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:
