Connecting People and InformationKNOSYS ANNUAL REPORT 2022 Chairman’s letter
to shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board of Knosys Limited, I have pleasure in presenting to you the 2022
Annual Report.
Over the past year, Knosys has matured into a multi-solution SaaS technology company with a
global footprint, low volatility revenue streams and a steadily increasing annualised recurring
revenue. We successfully integrated two acquisitions, and we also delivered organic growth
through up-selling to our expanded customer base.
Following the acquisition of Libero in August 2021, the Board decided to invest in a targeted
growth strategy in order to accelerate customer acquisition, brand awareness and revenue
growth across our expanded portfolio of solutions. We released our growth strategy to the
market in November 2021 and I am pleased to report that the execution is progressing well.
Total operating revenue increased by 94% to $8.9m in the 2022 financial year, reflecting
organic growth, the full year contribution of the GreenOrbit acquisition and the ten-month
contribution from the Libero acquisition. Our consolidated loss of $3.1m includes the increased
investment in sales & marketing and product development, and $1.95m of charges for
transaction costs, amortisation of intangibles, non-cash share based remuneration expense.
Importantly, the operating cash out-flow of $220K demonstrates the sustainability of our
business model in self-funding our investment in growth.
Organic growth and our acquisitions have increased the size and spread of the Knosys
business and helped achieve our growth objectives. The Company now has 340+ customers
in 25+ countries and is well-positioned to increase recurring revenue and lay the base for
future profitability.
At our AGM last December, Peter Pawlowitsch retired from the Board. Peter played a major role
through the establishment, listing, capital raisings and growth of Knosys and I would like to
thank Peter for his significant contribution to the company over many years.
Looking ahead, we expect to see the continuation of trends driving demand for our solutions
with the growth in remote workers, customer expectations of consistent information across
channels and the need for high quality governance and compliance on ever increasing volumes
of information. We are confident that Knosys remains well positioned to continue growing its
recurring revenue through its portfolio of market-leading SaaS solutions, over the months and
years ahead.
On behalf of the Directors, I would like to thank our Managing Director, John Thompson for his
excellent leadership, our other senior executives, including Stephen Kerr and Nic Passmore and
all our staff for their resilience and flexibility in navigating the disrupted business environment
over the past few years. I would also like to thank our shareholders for their continuing support
as we implement our growth strategy to drive sustainable earnings over the longer term.

Knosys remains well positioned to benefit from the structural change in working arrangements

Industry trends driving demand for the Knosys product suite
An organisation’s ability to engage, inform, automate, modernise, and deliver the ultimate customer/employee
experience from wherever customers engage from and employees work from, is crucial to maintaining a competitive
position and sustained business success.
The Knosys solutions are extremely well positioned to fulfill that need, providing organisations with the security of
business continuity and functional productivity improvement, in an increasingly demanding environment.
The four key drivers of demand across all our solutions are:
1
2
3
4
The growth in number of remote workers, which started before covid and accelerated over
the past few years during covid and is now moving to a hybrid office/home work-model.
Increased customer expectations of consistent information across all channels, including
at the physical office, a contact centre, a mobile phone, website or chat bot.
The need for high quality governance and compliance processes, which are especially
important for organisations that operate in a highly regulated environment, as these
organisations need to be able to track and trace all interactions with their customers.
The content explosion and information overload, driving demand for our solutions which
simplify and prioritise information to ensure that workers only see the information they
need to perform their role with increasing efficiency and effectiveness.
12 CEO & Operations Report
CEO & Operations Report 13
Connecting People and InformationKNOSYS ANNUAL REPORT 2022 Growth strategy
In order to achieve these strategic goals,
Knosys has outlined a five pillar growth strategy.
In November 2021, Knosys released its Growth Strategy to the market and we are currently one year
into our three year growth plan. Knosys is focussed on revenue growth across all product lines, but tight
control on costs is designed to balance returns with growth.
The Knosys vision is to empower organisations to make smarter connections with their information. The
market demand for the Knosys portfolio of SaaS solutions is driven by the remote workforce, customer
expectations of consistency, content explosion & siloes as well as information governance & compliance.
Knosys estimates the total market opportunity across Employee Experience, Knowledge Management
and Library Management solutions to be around $30B per annum globally.
Knosys strategic goals for 2024 are to:
Be recognised as a leading SaaS vendor in each of its
solution spaces;
Grow its global customer base to over 1,000
customers; and
Have over one million contracted users.

Connecting People and InformationKNOSYS ANNUAL REPORT 2022 Knosys is a global
organisation bringing
people and technology
solutions together
Executing on the strategy
In FY22, Knosys focused on increasing the annual revenue per user (ARPU) of the GreenOrbit
customer base, and this translated to a material uplift on subscription fees upon renewal. Over
68% of the GreenOrbit customer base has now transitioned to the latest product release. The
legacy Intranet ID product will reach end of life in December 2022, as the final group of customers
transition to the latest GreenOrbit product release. This transition has resulted in an increase in total
annual recurring revenue for the GreenOrbit business and short to medium term increases in service
and implementation fees. This program will be completed by December 2022, at which time the
focus of resources will be on new customer opportunities.
In FY22, Knosys commenced a program to consolidate its global customer base into a single cloud
service provider to improve operating margins and minimise the need for additional cloud resources
going forward. This work is scheduled for completion in FY23.
Key contract wins in FY22 include:
New customer wins in Knowledge Management and a 3,500
user expansion from a major banking customer.
Signed a two-year contract extension with Optus for
the continued use of Knosys’ market leading Knowledge
Management platform, Knowledge IQ , with a total
contract value of over $2m.
Signed major contract extensions for our GreenOrbit intranet
solution with enterprise customers including Harvey Norman,
Healthscope and GPC.
A major contract with Healthdirect Australia for Knowledge IQ , with
an expected total contract value of over $650K over four years.
Further wins in Australia and the United States for
KnowledgeIQ , Libero and GreenOrbit solutions, signing new
customers Services TAS, Services SA, The Australian Club,
National Film and Sound Archive of Australia, Snowy Monaro
Library and Heritage Bank.

Outlook
Knosys enters FY23 with industry trends driving a healthy pipeline of opportunities for
our portfolio of solutions to empower customers to make smarter connections with their
information. Our annualised recurring revenue continues to grow and we are well funded to
execute our growth strategy. Net operating cash flow is expected to improve in FY23, through
increased operating leverage as revenues increase faster than operating expenditure and
investment in growth.
I would like to thank our dedicated team for their hard work over the past year. And thanks
also to our shareholders, for your ongoing support as we look forward to another strong year
of growth ahead.

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

and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors.

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 2022. 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 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.

Indemnity and insurance of officers
The company has indemnified the directors and executives of the company for costs incurred, in their
capacity as a director or executive, for which they may be held personally liable, except where there is
a lack of good faith.
During the financial year, the company paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the directors
and executives of the company against a liability to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act
2001. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the
premium.

the auditor of the company or any related entity against a liability incurred by the auditor.
During the financial year, the company has not paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the

Proceedings on behalf of the company
No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring
proceedings on behalf of the company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the company
is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the company for all or part of those
proceedings.
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.
Auditor’s independence declaration
A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations
Act 2001 is set out on the following page.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2022
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.
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 profit or loss.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the
exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are
translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates
at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are
recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.
The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net
investment is disposed of.
Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of
whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired.
The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets
transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of
the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business
combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the
proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as
incurred to profit or loss.
On the acquisition of a business, the 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.

Connecting People and InformationKNOSYS ANNUAL REPORT 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022
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.
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 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 settlement within 30 days.
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 non are expected in future 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.
Plant and equipment
Recognition and measurement
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
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 adjusted if appropriate.
The estimated useful life of plant and equipment for current and comparative periods is 3 years.
Right-of-use assets
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset
is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as
applicable; any lease 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 or adjusted for any
remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding
lease liability for short-term leases with a term of 12 months or leases of low-value assets. Lease
payments on these assets are expenses to profit or loss as incurred.

Connecting People and InformationKNOSYS ANNUAL REPORT 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022
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.
Contract liabilities
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.
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.

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
Diluted Loss per share is calculated as net profit/loss attributable to members of the Company, adjusted for:
judgements are relevant to these financial statements:
•
•
•
•
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 and
that have not been adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June
2022 are listed below. The consolidated entity has assessed that these new or amended Accounting
Standards and Interpretations will not have a material effect on the financial statements of the company
for the reporting period commencing 1 July 2022.
Estimation of accrued research and development tax refund
As at 30 June 2021 the consolidated entity had accrued $500,000 in accrued research and
development tax refund credits in-respect of the 2021 tax return. The directors of the consolidated
entity engaged an industry expert to prepare and lodge this return. An amount of $489,643 was
receipted into the bank in June 2022 in regard to the 2021 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 $550,000 for the 2022 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.

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.
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 Note 1, 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.
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.
Allowance for expected credit losses
The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It
is based on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes assumptions
to allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include recent and
future sales experience and historical collection rates.
Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the consolidated
entity considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary
differences and losses.

The opening balance of intangibles arose in respect to the acquisition of Greenorbit Pty Ltd (GO) in
March 2021. At 30 June 2021 the consolidated entity was in the process of conducting a valuation of the
split of this intangible balance between identifiable and unidentifiable intangible assets. Under Australian
Accounting Standards the consolidated entity has a period of up to 12 months from acquisition date
to complete this exercise. For the purpose of the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2021 the
entire balance was recognised as Goodwill. The valuation of intangibles in respect of GO was completed
by an independent expert in this financial period and identifiable intangibles were reclassified
to Customer Contracts and Marketing Assets and are disclosed above as at 30 June 2022.
In accordance with relevant accounting standards, the completion of the provisional accounting
resulted in measurement period adjustments related to matters concerned where the facts
and circumstances existed at the acquisition date. If the matters had been known at the time,
the information would have affected the acquisition accounting. As a result, the current annual
financial report has disclosed a revision to the acquisition accounting previously disclosed for the
following account balances:
1.
An external valuation and allocation of the purchase price resulting in the recognition of a
number of specific identifiable intangible assets as outlined above which has impacted the
previously stated balance of goodwill. This resulted in a reallocation of goodwill to specific
identifiable intangible assets of Customer contracts of $3,033,000 and Marketing assets of
$290,000.
During the financial period additional intangible balances arose in respect of the acquisition of the
LIBERO business in August 2021. A valuation of intangibles in respect of LIBERO was completed
by an independent expert in this financial period and identifiable intangibles were classified as
disclosed above and as per Note 28.
The Customer Contracts and Marketing Assets are identifiable intangible assets and are subject to
amortisation, at annual rates of 10% and 20% respectively, as determined by the company, with
effect from acquisition date.
Impairment of intangibles
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 pre-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 year 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 and
Libero businesses. A revenue growth rate of 10% has been estimated for years 2 to 5 of the
model. This is a conservative estimate on the future growth of the business.
b.
c.
Projected cash flows have been discounted using a pre-tax discount rate of 13.7% (2021: 15%).
An annual growth rate of 2.5% (2021: 2.5%) 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 2022 and accordingly, no impairment loss
has been recognised.

The consolidated entity leases its Melbourne based head office under an agreement of four years
duration. The lease has an annual 3.75% escalation clause. The consolidated entity leased two

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.

Connecting People and InformationKNOSYS ANNUAL REPORT 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022
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 (2021:
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:
Within 6 months
6 to 12 months
1 to 5 years

The consolidated entity undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is
exposed to foreign currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The consolidated entity
monitors the materiality of foreign exchange transactions and balances and manages any material
exposures to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. At balance date there were no material foreign
currency risks.
Fair value of financial instruments
Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reasonably approximate their fair value.

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.

No contingent assets or liabilities were assumed by the Group as a result of the acquisition of Libero.
Revenue and profit contribution
Since the date of acquisition estimated revenue contributed by Libero for the ten months to 30
June 2022 was $2,090,000, with a net profit contribution of $1,100,000, before amortisation of
identifiable intangible assets. Based on pre and post-acquisition analysis of Libero, the full year
revenue contribution to the consolidated entity from Libero was estimated to be $2.4m if the
acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2021. Based on the nature of the business combination from
which Libero was acquired, it was not possible to determine the profit impact to the Group if the
acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2021.

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 2022, 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 2022 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.
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 receipt of payment; and
— Reviewing 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
the 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.
ACQUISITION OF THE LIBERO GROUP OF ENTITIES
Area of focus
Refer also to notes 1 and 28
The Group acquired the Libero group of entities
(“Libero”) on 31 August 2021 for a total
consideration of $3.85 million.
Accounting for this transaction is complex and
required significant judgements and estimates by
management in respect of the initial entries
recorded, specifically to determine the fair value of
assets and liabilities acquired in the context of
Australian Accounting Standards.
As such this matter has been determined as a key
area of focus for our audit.
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;
ACQUISITION OF THE LIBERO GROUP OF ENTITIES (continued)
Area of focus
Refer also to notes 1 and 28
How our audit addressed it
— Reviewing the Purchase Price Allocation
Valuation Report prepared by management’s
expert for the identifiable intangible assets of
the business and subsequent goodwill including
the evaluation of management’s expert; 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.
ASSESSMENT OF CARRYING VALUE OF GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Area of focus
Refer also to notes 1 and 8
During the financial years ended 30 June 2021 &
30 June 2022, the group expanded its activities
through the acquisition of the GreenOrbit group and
Libero group respectively. As a result, the
acquisitions created goodwill and intangible assets
on the Group’s consolidated statement of financial
position of $8.9 million.
There is a risk that the carrying amount of goodwill
and intangible assets exceed its recoverable
amount and may be impaired.
The Group continues to operate as a single Cash
Generating Unit (“CGU”) being a developer and
licensor of computer software. Management has
assessed that the activities of the acquired groups
operate within this core activity segment.
The recoverable amount of the CGU has been
calculated based on a value-in-use discounted
cashflow model, that examines the expected
discounted cashflows of its sole CGU over a five-
year period extending from reporting date, plus a
terminal value.
Overall due to the high level of judgement involved,
and the significant carrying amounts involved, we
have determined that this is a key judgemental area
that our audit concentrated on.
er carrying amounts involved, we
How our audit addressed it
Our audit procedures included:
— A detailed analysis of any changes to the
business to determine the continued
appropriateness of a single segment and CGU;
— Reviewing the Purchase Price Allocation
Reports for both Libero Group and GreenOrbit
Group prepared by management’s expert to
determine the split of the identifiable intangible
assets and goodwill components including the
evaluation of management’s expert;
— An examination of the discounted cashflow
model, testing for
a) its arithmetical accuracy;
b) the reasonableness of the future cashflows,
comparing to historical trends of the business
and its pipeline of future sales transactions and
the overall industry climate affecting the
economics of the business model;
c) the reasonableness of key inputs into the
model, including growth rates, the discount rate
and the working capital levels associated with
the derivation of those growth rates;
— An examination of key sensitivities of the
Group’s future discounted cash flows to
changes in key inputs; and
— Cross-checking the overall net present value
derived by the model to the current enterprise
value of the business, embodied in its market
capitalisation.
We also considered the adequacy of the Group’s
disclosures in relation to the impairment testing in
the financial report.

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
Area of focus
Refer also to notes 1, 25 and the Remuneration
Report
During the financial year, the Group issued options
over common shares to employees of the entity, of
which includes key management personnel, in
order to provide them with long term incentives.
This is a key audit matter as the valuation of share-
based payments is complex and subject to
significant management estimates & judgements.
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.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Shareholder information as at 15 August 2022
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:
