Executive Chairman’s Report  

Dear shareholders, 

Financial Overview 

On  behalf  of  the  Board  of  Kyckr  Limited  (Kyckr  or  the 
Company), it is our pleasure to present the annual report 
for the year ended 30 June 2018. 

The  annual  report  includes  the  revenue  contribution  of 
Kyckr  Ireland  Limited  in  the  prior  year  for  the  period  of 
September  2017  to  the  end  of  June  2018  (10-month 
period).  To  simplify  statements  below,  references  to 
performance are based on 12 months revenue contribution 
from  Kyckr  Ireland  for  comparative  information  where 
provided. 

NEW ENTERPRISE REVENUE  

23%  

OF TOTAL REVENUE FOR FY18 

POST BILLED ONLINE SALES GROWTH 

16% 

YEAR ON YEAR 

Kyckr’s full revenue result of $1.8m was an increase of 3% 
on the previous full year, with growth represented across 
our online and enterprise solutions. This includes:  

•  B2C online sales revenue grew 58% to $283k in FY18 

whilst post-billed online revenue grew 16% to $737k. 

•  New  enterprise  revenue  grew  by  $400k  compared  to 
the  previous  year,  representing  23%  of  total  revenue 
for FY18.  

Following  a  period  of  solid  growth,  revenue  has  now 
reduced to a normalised level for Bank of Ireland in FY18. 
We expect to secure the renewal of this contract in the near 
future  as  a  result  of  the  success  and  support  from  this 
cornerstone client. 

The  management  team  was  pleased  with  the  strong 
growth achieved in FY18 for online and post billed revenue 
and continues to focus on growing revenue organically.  

We  remain  optimistic 
in  revenue  growth  from  new 
enterprise  client  signings  and  prospects.  We  are pleased 
with  the  significant 
in  managing 
complex  and  prolonged  procurement  onboarding  with 
several clients and we look to reap the rewards from these 
accounts in FY19.  

investments  made 

The  loss  before  income  tax  for  the  year  ended  30  June 
2018 of $3.5 million has been impacted by non-cash share-
based  payment  expenses  of  $338k.  The  management 
team  continue  to  carefully  manage  the  expenses  of  the 
Company  to  ensure  costs  are  targeted  appropriately 
towards  revenue  generating  activities  and  continued 
technological improvements.  

Increased Capabilities 

Operationally,  we  expanded  our  global  footprint,  with 
significant  new  clients  and  partnerships,  new  offices 
established,  new  resources  appointed,  and  additional 
- 
registry  capabilities  acquired  during 
strengthening our position as a leading global provider for 
company  intelligence.  We  are  grateful  to  our  continued 
support from investors to support our growth plans.

Growth Through Blue-Chip Clients  

This  past  financial  year  saw  the  acquisition  of  key  blue-
chip  clients  such  as  Kyckr’s  first  Australian  Financial 
Institution,  Bloomberg,  IBM,  a  global  payments  provider 
and  global  US  based  bank.  Increasing  adoption  of  our 
services globally reflects strong commercial validation of 
Kyckr’s technology, people and solutions.

Collaboration with Norton Rose Fulbright 

Continuing to work with companies across a wide range of 
sectors,  Kyckr  commenced  a  collaborative  relationship 
with  Norton  Rose  Fulbright  Australia  (NRF),  as  legal 
advisors to market services across Australia.  

The  collaboration  focusses  on  providing  clients  with 
specialised  end-to-end  solutions  to  meet  AML  and 
Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF) obligations.  

“Kyckr continues 

to attract quality 

investors”  

Continued Validation From Investors  

Kyckr continued to attract quality investors throughout the 
financial year, reinforcing our global positioning within Anti 
Money  Laundering  and  Know  your  Customer  (KYC) 
sectors.  

In October last year, Kyckr announced that it had raised $2 
million  via  an  institutional  share  placement,  providing 
additional  funds  to  capitalise  on  the  significant  revenue 
opportunity presented by the signing of US based clients 
including Bloomberg and IBM.  

The  offer received  strong support from  new and  existing 
institutional, sophisticated and professional investors and 
closed  oversubscribed.  It  also  included  the  addition  of  3 
very  high-quality  fund  managers  experienced  in  tech 
investments. 

In June this year, we announced a successful Placement 
to  institution  and  sophisticated  investors  to  raise  A$5 
million (after costs). 

The  proceeds  from  the  Placement  will  be  used  towards 
additional resources (Business Development and Account 
Management),  the  continued 
investment  of  Kyckr’s 
products (including the development of Machine Learning 
Intelligence  applications)  and  general 
and  Artificial 
working capital purposes.  

multi-year  collaboration  agreement,  signalling 
commencement of revenue and cash generation. 

IBM  

Kyckr  signed  a  global  content  agreement  with 
multinational  technology  company  IBM,  which  will  use 
Kyckr’s  services  in  its  customer projects  worldwide.  This 
agreement  includes  integration  with  the  IBM  Watson 
platform  used  for  Artificial  Intelligence  and  performance 
analytics.  Kyckr  will  earn  project-based  revenues  as  IBM 
utilises  the  Company’s  primary  source  registry  data  to 
assist with customer data cleansing, on-boarding and on-
going  company  monitoring  processes.  IBM  has  already 
identified several of its customers that require Kyckr’s data 
remediation services. 

Australian Financial Services Client 

Kyckr  was  pleased  to  sign  its  first  Australian  Financial 
Institution 
in  September,  working  closely  to  provide 
solutions for decreasing risk and saving costs.  

Global US Bank  

Kyckr announced that it had signed a 5-year data license 
agreement  with  a  global  US  based  bank.  The  agreement 
provides automated access of Kyckr’s data (API) to their 
global  division  in  commercial  and  consumer  banking 
products  and  services.  The  bank  will  now  become  an 
enterprise grade client through the new agreement. 

Global Payments Provider 

In  January,  Kyckr  signed  an  agreement  to  provide  KYC 
onboarding  services  to  a  global  payments  provider. 
Revenue commenced earlier this year under an agreement 
with a fixed subscription value.  We will be working with the 
client  to  help  improve  KYC  compliance  obligations  and 
further maximise revenue opportunities.  

Improved Coverage and New Relationships 

Data  capabilities  extended  to  include  Russia,  CIS  and 
China 

Kyckr  was  able  to  extend  its  data  capabilities,  adding 
improved  access  to  Russia,  the  Commonwealth  of 
Independent  States  (CIS)  and  China  to  its  current  global 
coverage.  A  4-year  agreement  with  Russian  corporate 
information supplier Seldon 2 LLC (Seldon), enabled Kyckr 
to  access  high  quality  intelligence  on  Russian  and  CIS 
companies and individuals.  

In addition, Kyckr also added a credible source of Chinese 
company  registry  data  to  its  capabilities  covering  all  30 
provinces.

GDPR: Working Towards Compliance 

In  May,  Kyckr  made  changes  to  its  policies  in  alignment 
with its commitment to data privacy. With the General Data 
Protection  Regulation  (GDPR)  coming  into  enforcement, 
we were able to bring increased transparency and honesty 
around the handling of information and the strict security 
measures in place to protect our customers.  

As always, Kyckr remains committed in only ever offering 
solutions  and  services  that  demonstrate  compliance 
within GDPR.  

Investment in Expertise  

Kyckr  continued  its  pursuit  of  strengthening  its  global 
team,  people  and  culture.  This  financial  year,  we  hired 
expertise to help support our strategic global growth plans: 

Benny Higgins joins as Executive Chairman  

In March, I stepped into the role of Executive Chairman of 
Kyckr. Formerly CEO of Tesco Bank and with over 30 years 
of financial services and global banking experience, I have 
been responsible for the strategic guidance and growth of 
the  business.  I  will  remain  as  Executive  Chairman  of  the 
Company until the appointment of a European-based CEO 
and  remain  on  the  Board  as  Non-Executive  Chair  once  a 
new CEO is appointed.  

In  the  short  time  since  commencing,  I  am  pleased  to  be 
playing an active role in the management  and leadership 
of  Kyckr.  Earlier  in  April,  I  visited  Australia  conducting  a 
range  of  shareholder  briefings  in  Perth,  Melbourne  and 
Sydney and will continue to be actively involved in building 
client relationships with existing and potential clients.  

David Reid appointed Chief Technology Officer 

Kyckr  appointed  David  Reid  as  Chief  Technology  Officer. 
David’s  career  has  been  focused  on  growing  technology 
businesses, leading companies from early stage start-ups 
to highly scalable global businesses that meet the highest 
demands  of  customers.  David  is  an  entrepreneurial  and 
driven  Chief  Technology  Officer  and  was  a  founder  of 
several companies. He is a facilitator and builder of world-
class technology management and product development 
teams, with speciality in both start-up and scaled growth 
stages.  

David’s background and experience will be instrumental to 
the  continued  development  of  Kyckr’s  solutions  and 
services.   

plans. This will assist with greater focus in the UK, the US 
and a redesign and relaunch of the Kyckr website.  

New Website Experience 

Earlier  this  year,  Kyckr  commenced  the  process  of 
redesigning its website to provide an improved, richer user 
experience.  

Supported by extensive research on our customer journey, 
the  new  website  will  debut  an  all-new  design  centred 
around  our  client  needs  and  behaviours,  helping  users 
navigate  our  global  registry  access  quickly  and  easily.  
Improved functionality allows users and teams to manage 
their  compliance  obligations  with  more  confidence  than 
ever before.  

The  new  website  will  also 
include  comprehensive 
information  and  content  for  our  customers,  prospects, 
investors and partners to better understand Kyckr’s global 
positioning in the KYC/AML space.  

The new Kyckr website will look to provide an informative 
experience for our users as we continue to grow our brand 
and market presence.  

Outlook 

Kyckr  remains  focussed  on  providing  its  customers  with 
solutions that support their ever-increasing challenges to 
adhere  to  their  KYC/AML  obligations.  The  regulatory 
industry 
increasingly  complex 
regulatory  requirements,  Kyckr  will  continue  to  deliver 
costs  savings  and  risk  mitigating  solutions  through 
primary  source  intelligence  and  Perpetual  KYC  solutions, 
streamlining compliance and onboarding obligations.  

is  changing  and  with 

In a global market where regulatory technology continues 
to  evolve  rapidly,  Kyckr’s  range  of  solutions  continue  to 
resonate  strongly as  our  coverage  increases  to  over  200 
company registries, 120 countries and over 80 million legal 
entities.  

On  behalf  of  the  Board,  I  would  like  to  thank  all  its 
shareholders, staff and clients for their ongoing loyalty and 
support.  We  look  forward  to  another  year  of  exciting 
innovation, strong results and world-class solutions for our 
clients and shareholders.

Directors' report
30 June 2018

Competition
The  Group’s  intellectual  property  rights  are  not  protected  by  any  registered  patents  in  any  jurisdiction.  This  may  allow 
competitors  to  develop  products  functionally  similar  to  the  Group’s  existing  products.  The  existence  of  competitors  with 
products that are functionally similar to the Group’s existing products could result in loss of customers and falls of revenue, 
each of which could adversely affect the Group’s business and operating results.

Key Personnel Risk
The successful execution of the Group’s business model depends on a management team with the necessary talent and 
experience  to  integrate  and  manage  the  Group’s  growth  plans.  The  loss  of  key  management  personnel  could  adversely 
affect the Group’s business, results of operations or financial conditions and performance.

Current and Exchange Rate Fluctuations
The financial contribution of the Group will depend on the movement in exchange rates between the Australian Dollar and 
a number of other foreign currencies. The exchange rate between various currencies may fluctuate substantially and the 
result of these fluctuations may have an adverse impact on the Group’s operating results and financial position. The Group 
does not enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge its anticipated purchase and sale commitments denominated in 
foreign currencies.

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

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
The objective of the consolidated entity's executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive 
and  appropriate  for  the  results  delivered.  The  framework  aligns  executive  reward  with  the  achievement  of  strategic 
objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best practice for the 
delivery of reward. 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  Nomination  and  Remuneration  Committee  is  responsible  for  determining  and  reviewing  remuneration  arrangements 
for  its  directors  and  executives.  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 reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders' interests. The Board have considered that it 
should seek to enhance shareholders' interests by:
●
●

having economic profit as a core component of plan design
focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and delivering 
constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value
attracting and retaining high calibre executives

●

Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance executives' interests by:
●
●
●

rewarding capability and experience
reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth
providing a clear structure for earning rewards

Directors' report
30 June 2018

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

Non-executive directors remuneration
Fees  and  payments  to  non-executive  directors  reflect  the  demands  and  responsibilities  of  their  role.  Non-executive 
directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Nomination and 
Remuneration  Committee  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.  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.  Non-executive 
directors are entitled to receive share options and performance rights.

ASX  listing  rules  require  the  aggregate  non-executive  directors'  remuneration  be  determined  periodically  by  a  general 
meeting. As set out in the IPO Prospectus, total aggregate remuneration available to Non-executive directors was set at 
$500,000  per  annum.  Non-executive  director  fees  (Directors'  fees  and  committee  fees,  inclusive  of  superannuation) 
proposed for the year ending 30 June 2019 are summarised as follows:

Name

John Van Der Wielen
Albert Wong 
Robert Leslie

Fees

$50,000

$50,000

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

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

base pay and non-monetary benefits
short-term performance incentives
share-based payments
other remuneration such as superannuation and 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 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee based on individual and business unit performance, 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  units  with  the  performance 
hurdles  of  executives.  STI  payments  are  granted  to  executives  based  on  specific  annual  targets  and  key  performance 
indicators  ('KPI's')  being  achieved.  KPI's  include  profit  contribution,  customer  satisfaction,  leadership  contribution  and 
product management.

Kyckr Limited
Directors' report
30 June 2018

The long-term incentives ('LTI') include long service leave and share-based payments.

On 1 September 2016, 4,000,000 unlisted options were granted to Key Management Personnel. The exercise price of the 
options of $0.30 was 50% higher than the Initial Public Offering price. The options are exercisable upon meeting certain 
revenue targets within four years from the date of grant. The contractual life of each option is four years.

On 1 September 2016, 20,000,000 performance rights were granted to certain Directors and Key Management Personnel. 
The performance rights are exercisable at Nil value. The performance rights vest upon meeting the following conditions:
● 50% of the performance rights automatically convert upon the Company achieving a turnover of $5 million or more as 
 set out in the full year or half-yearly financial statements released to the ASX; and
● 50% of the Performance rights automatically convert upon the Company achieving a turnover of $10 million or more as 
 set out in its yearly or half-yearly financial statements released to the ASX.

On 30 November 2016, 2,000,000 unlisted options exercisable at $0.30 were granted to senior executives under the Long 
Term Incentive Plan approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 30 November 2016. The exercise 
price of the options of $0.30 was 22.45% higher than market price of the shares on the date of grant. The vesting of these 
options is conditional on continued employment until the vesting date, being two years from grant date. The contractual life 
of each option is four years. 

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee reviewed the long-term equity-linked performance incentives specifically for 
executives during the year ended 30 June 2018.

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 earnings per share targets being met. The remaining portion of the cash 
bonus and incentive payments are at the discretion of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. 

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is of the opinion that the adoption of performance based compensation will 
contribute to future improvements in performance and will increase shareholder wealth over the coming years.

Use of remuneration consultants
During the financial year ended 30 June 2018, the company did not engage remuneration consultants to review its existing 
remuneration policies and provide recommendations on how to improve both the STI and LTI programs.

Voting and comments made at the company's 2017 Annual General Meeting ('AGM')
At the 2017 AGM, 84.28% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 30 
June 2017. The company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

Directors' report
30 June 2018

Shares issued on the exercise of performance rights
There  were  no  ordinary  shares  of  Kyckr  Limited  issued  on  the  exercise  of  performance  rights  during  the  year  ended  30 
June 2018 and up to the date of this report.

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.

Indemnity and insurance of auditor
The company has not, during or since the end of the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify 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 auditor of the company 
or any related entity.

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
Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor 
are outlined in note 24 to the financial statements.

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another 
person or firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by 
the Corporations Act 2001.

The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 24 to the financial statements do not compromise the 
external auditor's independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
●

all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity 
of the auditor; and
none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code 
of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including 
reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the company, 
acting as advocate for the company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

●

Officers of the company who are former partners of Nexia Sydney Partnership
There are no officers of the company who are former partners of Nexia Sydney Partnership.

Auditor's independence declaration
A copy of the auditor's independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out 
immediately after this directors' report.

Auditor
Nexia Sydney Partnership continues in office in accordance with section 327 of the Corporations Act 2001.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2018

Note 1. General information

The  financial  statements  cover  Kyckr  Limited  as  a  consolidated  entity  consisting  of  Kyckr  Limited  and  the  entities  it 
controlled at the end of, or during, the year. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Kyckr 
Limited's functional and presentation currency.

Kyckr Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and 
principal place of business is:

Level 6, 36 Grosvenor Street
Sydney
NSW 2000

A description of the nature of the consolidated entity's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' 
report, which is not part of the financial statements.

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 31 August 2018. The 
directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies

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

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The  consolidated  entity  has  adopted  all  of  the  new  or  amended  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the 
Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

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

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  ('AASB')  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  as 
appropriate  for  for-profit  oriented  entities.  These  financial  statements  also  comply  with  International  Financial  Reporting 
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').

Historical cost convention
The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  under  the  historical  cost  convention,  except  for,  where  applicable,  the 
revaluation  of  available-for-sale  financial  assets,  financial  assets  and  liabilities  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss, 
investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.

Critical accounting estimates
The  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  requires  the  use  of  certain  critical  accounting  estimates.  It  also  requires 
management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas 
involving  a  higher  degree  of  judgement  or  complexity,  or  areas  where  assumptions  and  estimates  are  significant  to  the 
financial statements, are disclosed in note 3.

Parent entity information
In  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  these  financial  statements  present  the  results  of  the  consolidated  entity 
only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 26.

Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Kyckr Limited ('company' or 
'parent  entity')  as  at  30  June  2018  and  the  results  of  all  subsidiaries  for  the  year  then  ended.  Kyckr  Limited  and  its 
subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.

Kyckr Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2018

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity 
when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has 
the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated 
from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control 
ceases.

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

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

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

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

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

Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the 
transactions.  Foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  resulting  from  the  settlement  of  such  transactions  and  from  the 
translation  at  financial  year-end  exchange  rates  of  monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  are 
recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign operations
The  assets  and  liabilities  of  foreign  operations  are  translated  into  Australian  dollars  using  the  exchange  rates  at  the 
reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average 
exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange 
differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.

Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the consolidated entity and the revenue 
can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Rendering of services
Revenue  from  long  term  contracts  is  recognised  in  accordance  with  the  stage  of  completion  of  the  contract  with  the 
revenue and portion of profit recognised in each accounting period being the amounts which reflects the work performed in 
that period.

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.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2018

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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

Income tax
The  income  tax  expense  or  benefit  for  the  period  is  the  tax  payable  on  that  period's  taxable  income  based  on  the 
applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to 
temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when 
the  assets  are  recovered  or  liabilities  are  settled,  based  on  those  tax  rates  that  are  enacted  or  substantively  enacted, 
except for:
● When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a 
transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting 
nor taxable profits; or

● When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and 
the  timing  of  the  reversal  can  be  controlled  and  it  is  probable  that  the  temporary  difference  will  not  reverse  in  the 
foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that 
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred 
tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for 
the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is 
probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  only  where  there  is  a  legally  enforceable  right  to  offset  current  tax  assets 
against  current  tax  liabilities  and  deferred  tax  assets  against  deferred  tax  liabilities;  and  they  relate  to  the  same  taxable 
authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.

An  asset  is  classified  as  current  when:  it  is  either  expected  to  be  realised  or  intended  to  be  sold  or  consumed  in  the 
consolidated  entity's  normal  operating  cycle;  it  is  held  primarily  for  the  purpose  of  trading;  it  is  expected  to  be  realised 
within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged 
or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; 
it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no 
unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities 
are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly 
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and 
which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Trade and other receivables
Trade  receivables  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value  and  subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective 
interest method, less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written 
off  by  reducing  the  carrying  amount  directly.  A  provision  for  impairment  of  trade  receivables  is  raised  when  there  is 
objective evidence that the consolidated entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of 
the  receivables.  Significant  financial  difficulties  of  the  debtor,  probability  that  the  debtor  will  enter  bankruptcy  or  financial 
reorganisation  and  default  or  delinquency  in  payments  (more  than  60  days  overdue)  are  considered  indicators  that  the 
trade receivable may be impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset's carrying 
amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows 
relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment.

Investments and other financial assets
Investments  and  other  financial  assets  are  initially  measured  at  fair  value.  Transaction  costs  are  included  as  part  of  the 
initial  measurement,  except  for  financial  assets  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss.  They  are  subsequently  measured  at 
either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on the purpose of 
the acquisition and subsequent reclassification to other categories is restricted.

Financial  assets  are  derecognised  when  the  rights  to  receive  cash  flows  from  the  financial  assets  have  expired  or  have 
been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an 
active market. They are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised 
in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.

Impairment of financial assets
The  consolidated  entity  assesses  at  the  end  of  each  reporting  period  whether  there  is  any  objective  evidence  that  a 
financial  asset  or  group  of  financial  assets  is  impaired.  Objective  evidence  includes  significant  financial  difficulty  of  the 
issuer  or  obligor;  a  breach  of  contract  such  as  default  or  delinquency  in  payments;  the  lender  granting  to  a  borrower 
concessions  due  to  economic  or  legal  reasons  that  the  lender  would  not  otherwise  do;  it  becomes  probable  that  the 
borrower  will  enter  bankruptcy  or  other  financial  reorganisation;  the  disappearance  of  an  active  market  for  the  financial 
asset; or observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in estimated future cash flows.

The amount of the impairment allowance for loans and receivables carried at amortised cost is the difference between the 
asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest 
rate. If there is a reversal of impairment, the reversal cannot exceed the amortised cost that would have been recognised 
had the impairment not been made and is reversed to profit or loss.

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

Depreciation  is  calculated  on  a  straight-line  basis  to  write  off  the  net  cost  of  each  item  of  property,  plant  and  equipment 
(excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:

Computer equipment

2-5 years

The  residual  values,  useful  lives  and  depreciation  methods  are  reviewed,  and  adjusted  if  appropriate,  at  each  reporting 
date.

Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or 
the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the 
consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. 
Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater 
than its estimated recoverable amount. 

Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and 
requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets 
and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the 
risks  and  benefits  incidental  to  the  ownership  of  leased  assets,  and  operating  leases,  under  which  the  lessor  effectively 
retains substantially all such risks and benefits.

Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the fair value of the leased assets, or if lower, 
the  present  value  of  minimum  lease  payments.  Lease  payments  are  allocated  between  the  principal  component  of  the 
lease liability and the finance costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the asset's useful life or over the shorter of the asset's 
useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the consolidated entity will obtain ownership at the end 
of the lease term.

Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line 
basis over the term of the lease.

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  and  is  carried  at  cost  less  accumulated  impairment  losses.  Impairment 
losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed.

Computer software and development 
Significant costs associated with computer software and development are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis 
over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 5 years.

Impairment of non-financial assets
Goodwill  and  other  intangible  assets  that  have  an  indefinite  useful  life  are  not  subject  to  amortisation  and  are  tested 
annually  for  impairment,  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  they  might  be  impaired. 
Other  non-financial  assets  are  reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the 
carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying 
amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the 
present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or 
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to 
form a cash-generating unit.

Trade and other payables
These  amounts  represent  liabilities  for  goods  and  services  provided  to  the  consolidated  entity  prior  to  the  end  of  the 
financial  year  and  which  are  unpaid.  Due  to  their  short-term  nature  they  are  measured  at  amortised  cost  and  are  not 
discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

Finance costs
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in 
the period in which they are incurred.

Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-monetary  benefits,  annual  leave  and  long  service  leave  expected  to  be 
settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities 
are settled.

Other long-term employee benefits
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are 
measured at 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  corporate  bonds  with  terms  to  maturity  and  currency  that  match,  as  closely  as  possible,  the 
estimated future cash outflows.

Liabilities  for  employee  entitlements  which  have  vested  in  the  employee  at  reporting  date  are  recognised  as  current 
liabilities notwithstanding that they are not expected to be settled within 12 months of reporting date as the consolidated 
entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement.

Share-based payments
Equity-settled and cash-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 that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the 
impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend 
yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine 
whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of 
any other vesting conditions.

The  cost  of  equity-settled  transactions  are  recognised  as  an  expense  with  a  corresponding  increase  in  equity  over  the 
vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the 
best  estimate  of  the  number  of  awards  that  are  likely  to  vest  and  the  expired  portion  of  the  vesting  period.  The  amount 
recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already 
recognised in previous periods.

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.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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

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

Assets  and  liabilities  measured  at  fair  value  are  classified,  into  three  levels,  using  a  fair  value  hierarchy  that  reflects  the 
significance  of  the  inputs  used  in  making  the  measurements.  Classifications  are  reviewed  at  each  reporting  date  and 
transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair 
value measurement.

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either 
not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge 
and  reputation.  Where  there  is  a  significant  change  in  fair  value  of  an  asset  or  liability  from  one  period  to  another,  an 
analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, 
where applicable, with external sources of data.

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.

Business combinations
The  acquisition  method  of  accounting  is  used  to  account  for  business  combinations  regardless  of  whether  equity 
instruments or other assets are acquired.

The  consideration  transferred  is  the  sum  of  the  acquisition-date  fair  values  of  the  assets  transferred,  equity  instruments 
issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest 
in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value 
or  at  the  proportionate  share  of  the  acquiree's  identifiable  net  assets.  All  acquisition  costs  are  expensed  as  incurred  to 
profit or loss.

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

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

Contingent  consideration  to  be  transferred  by  the  acquirer  is  recognised  at  the  acquisition-date  fair  value.  Subsequent 
changes  in  the  fair  value  of  the  contingent  consideration  classified  as  an  asset  or  liability  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss. 
Contingent  consideration  classified  as  equity  is  not  remeasured  and  its  subsequent  settlement  is  accounted  for  within 
equity.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

The  difference  between  the  acquisition-date  fair  value  of  assets  acquired,  liabilities  assumed  and  any  non-controlling 
interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment 
in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair 
value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a 
gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and 
measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred 
and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquirer.

Business  combinations  are  initially  accounted  for  on  a  provisional  basis.  The  acquirer  retrospectively  adjusts  the 
provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based 
on  new  information  obtained  about  the  facts  and  circumstances  that  existed  at  the  acquisition-date.  The  measurement 
period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the 
information possible to determine fair value.

Earnings per share

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

Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account 
the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the 
weighted  average  number  of  shares  assumed  to  have  been  issued  for  no  consideration  in  relation  to  dilutive  potential 
ordinary shares.

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

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

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

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

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  that  have  recently  been  issued  or  amended  but  are  not  yet 
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2018. 
The consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, 
most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments
This  standard  is  applicable  to  annual  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2018.  The  standard  replaces  all 
previous  versions  of  AASB  9  and  completes  the  project  to  replace  IAS  39  'Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and 
Measurement'. AASB 9 introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall 
be measured at amortised cost, if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect 
contractual  cash  flows,  which  arise  on  specified  dates  and  solely  comprise  principal  and  interest.  All  other  financial 
instrument  assets  are  to  be  classified  and  measured  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  unless  the  entity  makes  an 
irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) in 
other  comprehensive  income  ('OCI').  For  financial liabilities,  the  standard  requires the  portion  of  the change  in  fair value 
that  relates  to  the  entity's  own  credit  risk  to  be  presented  in  OCI  (unless  it  would  create  an  accounting  mismatch).  New 
simpler  hedge  accounting  requirements  are  intended  to  more  closely  align  the  accounting  treatment  with  the  risk 
management  activities  of  the  entity.  New  impairment  requirements  will  use  an  'expected  credit  loss'  ('ECL')  model  to 
recognise an allowance. Impairment will be measured under a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial 
instrument  has  increased  significantly  since  initial  recognition  in  which  case  the  lifetime  ECL  method  is  adopted.  The 
standard introduces additional new disclosures. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018. It is not 
expected to significantly impact the financial statements.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
This  standard  is  applicable  to  annual  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2018.  The  standard  provides  a 
single standard for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict 
the  transfer  of  promised  goods  or  services  to  customers  in  an  amount  that  reflects  the  consideration  to  which  the  entity 
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will require: contracts (either written, verbal or 
implied) to be identified, together with the separate performance obligations within the contract; determine the transaction 
price,  adjusted  for  the  time  value  of  money  excluding  credit  risk;  allocation  of  the  transaction  price  to  the  separate 
performance  obligations  on  a  basis  of  relative  stand-alone  selling  price  of  each  distinct  good  or  service,  or  estimation 
approach if no distinct observable prices exist; and recognition of revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. 
Credit  risk  will  be  presented  separately  as  an  expense  rather  than  adjusted  to  revenue.  For  goods,  the  performance 
obligation would be satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods. For services, the performance obligation is 
satisfied  when  the  service  has  been  provided,  typically  for  promises  to  transfer  services  to  customers.  For  performance 
obligations satisfied over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of progress to determine how much revenue 
should be recognised as the performance obligation is satisfied. Contracts with customers will be presented in an entity's 
statement  of  financial  position  as  a  contract  liability,  a  contract  asset,  or  a  receivable,  depending  on  the  relationship 
between the entity's performance and the customer's payment. Sufficient quantitative and qualitative disclosure is required 
to enable users to understand the contracts with customers; the significant judgements made in applying the guidance to 
those contracts; and any assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer. The consolidated 
entity  will  adopt  this  standard  from  1  July  2018.  It  is  not  expected  to  significantly  impact  the  financial  statements  on  the 
basis that most of the consolidated entity's revenue is recognised as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes 
the benefits provided as the entity performs, and this is consistent with AASB 15 requirements.

AASB 16 Leases
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB 
117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, 
a  'right-of-use'  asset  will  be  capitalised  in  the  statement  of  financial  position,  measured  at  the  present  value  of  the 
unavoidable  future  lease  payments  to  be  made  over  the  lease  term.  The  exceptions  relate  to  short-term  leases  of  12 
months  or  less  and  leases  of  low-value  assets  (such  as  personal  computers  and  small  office  furniture)  where  an 
accounting policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit 
or  loss  as  incurred.  A  liability  corresponding  to  the  capitalised  lease  will  also  be  recognised,  adjusted  for  lease 
prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or 
dismantling  costs.  Straight-line  operating  lease  expense  recognition  will  be  replaced  with  a  depreciation  charge  for  the 
leased  asset  (included  in  operating  costs)  and  an  interest  expense  on  the  recognised  lease  liability  (included  in  finance 
costs).  In  the  earlier  periods  of  the  lease,  the  expenses  associated  with  the  lease  under  AASB  16  will  be  higher  when 
compared  to  lease  expenses  under  AASB  117.  However  EBITDA  (Earnings  Before  Interest,  Tax,  Depreciation  and 
Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit 
or  loss  under  AASB  16.  For  classification  within  the  statement  of  cash  flows,  the  lease  payments  will  be  separated  into 
both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, 
the  standard  does  not  substantially  change  how  a  lessor  accounts  for  leases.  The  consolidated  entity  will  adopt  this 
standard from 1 July 2019 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the consolidated entity.

IASB revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting
The  revised  Conceptual  Framework  has  been  issued  by  the  International  Accounting  Standards  Board  ('IASB'),  but  the 
Australian equivalent has yet to be published. The revised framework is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning 
on  or  after  1  January  2020  and  the  application  of  the  new  definition  and  recognition  criteria  may  result  in  future 
amendments to several accounting standards. Furthermore, entities who rely on the conceptual framework in determining 
their accounting policies for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with under Australian Accounting 
Standards may need to revisit such policies. The  consolidated entity will apply the revised conceptual framework from 1 
July 2020 and is yet to assess its impact.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

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

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

Fair value measurement hierarchy
The consolidated entity is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, 
based  on  the  lowest  level  of  input  that  is  significant  to  the  entire  fair  value  measurement,  being:  Level  1:  Quoted  prices 
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2: 
Inputs  other  than  quoted  prices  included  within  Level  1  that  are  observable  for  the  asset  or  liability,  either  directly  or 
indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Considerable judgement is required to determine what 
is significant to fair value and therefore which category the asset or liability is placed in can be subjective.

The  fair  value  of  assets  and  liabilities  classified  as  level  3  is  determined  by  the  use  of  valuation  models.  These  include 
discounted cash flow analysis or the use of observable inputs that require significant adjustments based on unobservable 
inputs.

Estimation of useful lives of assets
The  consolidated  entity  determines  the  estimated  useful  lives  and  related  depreciation  and  amortisation  charges  for  its 
property,  plant  and  equipment  and  finite  life  intangible  assets.  The  useful  lives  could  change  significantly  as  a  result  of 
technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives 
are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold 
will be written off or written down.

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  2.  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.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
The consolidated entity assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible 
assets  at  each  reporting  date  by  evaluating  conditions  specific  to  the  consolidated  entity  and  to  the  particular  asset  that 
may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves 
fair  value  less  costs  of  disposal  or  value-in-use  calculations,  which  incorporate  a  number  of  key  estimates  and 
assumptions.

Income tax
The consolidated entity is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required 
in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary 
course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The consolidated entity recognises liabilities for 
anticipated  tax  audit  issues  based  on  the  consolidated  entity's  current  understanding  of  the  tax  law.  Where  the  final  tax 
outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax 
provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  for  deductible  temporary  differences  only  if  the  consolidated  entity  considers  it  is 
probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Employee benefits provision
As discussed in note 2, the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting 
date  are  recognised  and  measured  at  the  present  value  of  the  estimated  future  cash  flows  to  be  made  in  respect  of  all 
employees  at  the  reporting  date.  In  determining  the  present  value  of  the  liability,  estimates  of  attrition  rates  and  pay 
increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account.

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

Note 4. Operating segments

The Group operates in one operating segment, being the provision of Know Your Business customer ('KYB') services. The 
operating segment identified is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Directors of the Board (who 
are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (‘CODM’) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation 
of resources. There is no aggregation of operating segments. 

The CODM reviews earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation ('EBITDA'). EBITDA is a financial measure 
which is not prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards (‘AAS’) and represents the profit under AAS adjusted for non-
specific non-cash and significant items. The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent 
with those adopted in the financial statements.

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

Major customers
During  the  year  ended  30  June  2018  approximately  29%  (2017:  49%)  of  the  consolidated  entity's  external  revenue  was 
derived from sales to 2 customers (2017: 1 customer).

Note 13. Non-current assets - intangibles (continued)

Impairment testing
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the one cash generating unit ('CGU'), Kyckr Ireland Limited.

Key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations: 
The Group tests whether goodwill has suffered any impairment on at least an annual basis. The recoverable amount of a 
CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations which require the use of assumptions. The calculations use cash 
flow  projections  based  on  financial  budgets  approved  by  the  Board  of  Directors  covering  a  two  year  period.  Estimated 
growth rates and other reasonable assumptions are utilised to further calculate cash flows out to five years from balance 
date. Cash flows beyond the five year period are extrapolated into perpetuity using estimated terminal growth rates shown 
below. The following table sets out the key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations:
● Two to five year growth rates 30% (2017: 30%)
● Long term growth rate 5% (2017: 5%)
● Weighted average cost of capital 15% (2017: 15%)

No impairment charge: 
Based  on  the  value-in-use  calculation  methodology  and  assumptions  stated  above,  the  carrying  amount  the  CGU  at 
balance date does not exceed its recoverable amount.

Impact of possible changes in assumptions:
A reasonable possible change in the key assumptions above would not cause the carrying value of the CGU to exceed its 
recoverable amount.

Note 16. Current liabilities - contingent consideration (continued)

Contingent consideration
Contingent  consideration  relates  to  the  acquisition  of  Kyckr  Ireland  Limited  on  1  September  2016  and  represents 
13,000,000 Performance Shares that were issued which will convert to fully paid ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis 
upon meeting the following vesting conditions:

●

●

50% of the Performance Shares automatically convert upon the Company achieving a turnover of $5 million or more 
as set out in the full year or half-yearly financial statements released to the ASX; and
50% of the Performance Shares automatically convert upon the Company achieving a turnover of $10 million or more 
as set out in its yearly or half-yearly financial statements released to the ASX.

The Performance Shares expire four years from the date of acquisition in the event that the above vesting conditions are 
not met. 

As the contingent consideration vests no earlier than two years from the date of issue, the amount has been discounted by 
the  two-year  government  bond  rate  of  1.46%  p.a.  The  finance  costs  incurred  during  the  period  with  respect  to  the 
unwinding of the discount was $37,322 (2017: $30,611) and is included in finance costs, which in addition to a fair value 
movement of $513,644 (2017: $nil) gives a balance at 30 June 2018 of $2,080,000 (2017: $2,556,322).

Note 21. Financial instruments

Financial risk management objectives
The consolidated entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, price 
risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated entity's overall risk management program focuses 
on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of 
the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity may use derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange 
contracts  to  hedge  certain  risk  exposures,  however  as  at  30  June  2018  and  30  June  2017  there  were  no  derivative 
financial instruments in place. The consolidated entity uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it 
is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks 
and ageing analysis for credit risk.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 21. Financial instruments (continued)

Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors 
('the  Board').  These  policies  include  identification  and  analysis  of  the  risk  exposure  of  the  consolidated  entity  and 
appropriate  procedures,  controls  and  risk  limits.  Finance  identifies  and  evaluates  financial  risks  within  the  consolidated 
entity's operating units. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis.

Market risk

Foreign currency risk
The  consolidated  entity  undertakes  certain  transactions  denominated  in  foreign  currency  and  is  exposed  to  foreign 
currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities 
denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and 
cash flow forecasting.

The  consolidated  entity's  foreign  exchange  risk  is  managed  to  ensure  sufficient  funds  are  available  to  meet  foreign 
denominated financial commitments in a timely and cost-effective manner. The consolidated entity will continually monitor 
this risk and consider entering into forward foreign exchange, foreign currency swap and foreign currency option contracts 
if appropriate.

Creditors and debtors as at 30 June 2018 were reviewed to assess currency risk at year end. The value of transactions 
denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective subsidiary was insignificant and therefore 
the risk was determined as not being significant.

At 30 June 2018, the carrying value of foreign currency denominated cash and cash equivalents are as follows:

The  consolidated  entity  had  cash  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  of  $241,486  as  at  30  June  2018  (30  June  2017: 
$1,474,753).  Based  on  this  exposure,  had  the  Australian  dollar  weakened  by  10%/strengthened  by  10%  (30  June  2017: 
weakened  by  10%/strengthened  by  10%)  against  these  foreign  currencies  with  all  other  variables  held  constant,  the 
consolidated entity's profit after tax for the year would have been $24,149 higher/$24,149 lower (30 June 2017: $147,475 
higher/$147,475  lower).  The  percentage  change  is  the  expected  overall  volatility  of  the  significant  currencies,  based  on 
management's assessment of reasonable possible fluctuations. 

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

Interest rate risk
The consolidated entity is not exposed to any interest rate 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  strict  code  of  credit,  including  obtaining  agency  credit  information, 
confirming references and setting appropriate credit limits.   

The  consolidated  entity  has  no  significant  credit  risk  exposure  and  the  maximum  exposure  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.

Note 21. Financial instruments (continued)

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.

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.

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

The following tables detail the consolidated entity's assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three 
level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being:
Level  1:  Quoted  prices  (unadjusted)  in  active  markets  for  identical  assets  or  liabilities  that  the  entity  can  access  at  the 
measurement date
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly 
or indirectly

There were no transfers between levels during the financial year.

The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate their fair 
values due to their short-term nature.

The  fair  value  of  the  contingent  consideration  is  estimated  using  a  discounted  cash  flow  model  and  is  based  on  the 
probability of meeting all of the vesting conditions under the terms of the Kyckr (Ireland) Share Purchase Agreement.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Kyckr Limited 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Kyckr Limited (the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group)), 
which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018, the consolidated 
statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated 
statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a 
summary of significant accounting policies, 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 2018 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 Corporations Act 2001 and the 
ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of 
Ethics for Professional Accountants (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 confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been 
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time 
of this auditor’s report. 

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 judgement, were of most significance in our 
audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our 
audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a 
separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Recoverability of goodwill  

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

Refer to note 13 

  We evaluated management’s process for developing the cash 

The carrying value of the Group’s 
intangible assets included goodwill 
of $12,250,079 arising from the 
acquisition of Kyckr Ireland  in the 
prior year. 

The assessment of recoverability 
of the goodwill required a 
significant degree of management 
judgement given the short trading 
history of the Group and the 
inherent uncertainties in the key 
assumptions used in the 
assessment of future cash flows in 
particular revenues, earnings 
before interest and the discount 
rate. 

flow forecasts; 

  We tested the mathematical accuracy of the underlying ‘value-

in-use’ calculations; 

  We assessed and challenged the appropriateness of the inputs 

into management’s calculations as follows: 
-  Comparing and calculating revenue and expense cash flows 
with historical performance and new business avenues 
announced to the market; 

-  Comparing the forecasted cash flows estimated in prior 

periods to financial performance during the current financial 
year; 

-  Comparing growth rates with the performance of other IT 

start-ups; 

-  Recalculating the discount rate using the most current risk 
free rates, market alpha, beta and risk premium estimates; 

  We performed sensitivity calculations for changes to the key 

inputs to management’s model; 

  We compared the net assets of the Group to the Group’s market 

capitalisation at year-end. 

Other information 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information 
in Kyckr Limited’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, 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 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 the other 
information we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Directors’ responsibility 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.  

58 

 
 
 
 
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue 
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going 
concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease 
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s responsibility 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 the financial report is located at The Australian 
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_files/ar1.pdf. This 
description forms part of our auditor’s report. 

Report on the Remuneration Report 

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 11 to 18 of the directors’ Report for the year 
ended 30 June 2018.  

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Kyckr Limited for the year ended 30 June 2018, complies with 
section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.  

Responsibilities  

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration 
Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an 
opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing 
Standards.
