Report 

BENNY HIGGINS 
Non-Executive  
Chairman of the Board 

IAN HENDERSON 
Chief Executive Officer 

Dear shareholders, 

On behalf of the Board of Kyckr Limited (Kyckr or the 
Company), it is my pleasure to present the annual 
report for the year ended 30 June 2019. 

This past year has been a year of evolution for Kyckr 
with the appointment of Mr Ian Henderson as new 
CEO and with the launch of the new Kyckr.com 
platform, in conjunction with the Company’s 
expansion across several key areas to strengthen its 
customer value proposition. 

This past year 
has been a 
year of 
evolution for 
Kyckr. 

Building on the rapid growth of KYC in the 
global RegTech Industry 

This is an exciting time for Kyckr as Know-Your-
Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money-Laundering (AML) 
efforts are rapidly increasing, with a twenty-fold 
surge in suspicious activity reporting between 2012 
and 2017.

Regulators are encouraging the industry to 
embrace emerging technologies and analytics 
to improve KYC and AML policies, recognising 
the necessity of automation for an adequate 
compliance regime, including automated 
identity verification during the customer 
onboarding process.  

Kyckr’s Know-Your-Customer technology helps 
solve this, providing companies with real time 
access to data to verify the identity of their 
customers and enable users to instantly find 
company profiles, credit reports and fillings to 
meet regulatory requirements and prevent 
financial crime. 

Kyckr is confident growth will accelerate on the 
back of increased compliance requiring legally 
authoritative information direct from registries, 
which can be found through its single source 
platform for customer identification, accessing 
real time data from over 200 registries in 120 
countries. 

Financial Overview  

Kyckr delivered revenue of $2.14 million for 
FY19 across our range of B2C online, post-
billed online sales and enterprise solutions. 
This represents an increase of more than 25% 
over the full prior year. 

Online sales revenue grew 45% to $1.49 million 
in FY19 across B2C and post-billed Kyckr 
platforms. Enterprise revenue for the year is 
$0.65m, a decrease of 7% on the previous 
corresponding period.  

To improve enterprise revenue growth in FY20, 
Kyckr is focussing on collaborating with firms 
across the financial, data and technology 
space, to leverage on its expertise and unique 
access to real-time registry data.  

Together with our online strategy, we look to 
continue our forward momentum and 
collaborate exclusively with firms looking to 
transform the quality of their data and 
accelerate the development of automation onto 
their clients and suppliers.

Our Achievements 

$5.2 million raised via a share placement 

Kyckr announced the successful completion of 
a Placement from new and existing institutional 
and private investors to raise A$5.2 million 
(before costs). The Placement occurred via a 
two tranche Placement, with the second 
tranche approved at the extraordinary general 
meeting (EGM) held in September 2019. 

As Kyckr continues to scale up, the proceeds 
from the Placement will be used to accelerate 
the Company’s global commercialisation 
activities and will be applied towards additional 
resources (Business Development and Account 
Management), continued investment of Kyckr’s 
products and general working capital purposes.   

Kyckr signs agreement with global data 
platform provider DemystData 

Kyckr announced that it has signed a 2-year 
data provider agreement with global data 
platform DemystData. 

DemystData are a leading provider and 
platform for integrating data, providing financial 
institutions with API access to discover, access 
and test corporate data in combatting fraud, 
strengthening compliance and reducing data 
managements costs. 

Founded in 2010 and with offices in New York, 
Singapore, Hong-Kong and Melbourne, Demyst 
has over 30 clients, including tier-one banks, 
insurers, and lenders across the US and Asia 
Pacific. 

This agreement will allow the Kyckr API to be 
accessible by existing and future Demyst API 
customers. 

The addition of Kyckr’s API will help Demyst 
customers seamlessly evaluate, test and use 

the Kyckr network of real-time registry 
information via the Demyst platform. The 
platform allows customers to test the data in a 
secure sandbox environment and helps reduce 
both onboarding times and cost. 

Additionally, Demyst will market the addition of 
the Kyckr API to their existing customer base, 
promoting Kyckr’s automation expertise to 
further financial institutions globally. 

Strengthened executive team to drive the 
business  

The management team was strengthened 
during the year with senior hires including Ian 
Henderson joining as Chief Executive Officer 
(CEO) of Kyckr from 1 January 2019. Ian brings 
more than 30 years of financial services and 
banking experience, having held the roles of 
former CEO of RBS International and of UK-
based Shawbrook Bank where he drove both 
companies’ profitability during his tenure.  

The Board and I are confident that Ian’s proven 
track record in growing businesses will be 
integral to leading the commercialisation of 
Kyckr’s Know-Your-Customer solutions. Ian is 
based in London in proximity to the Company’s 
key markets in the main global financial hubs.  

Launch of improved digital platform to 
accelerate online growth  

In May, we announced the much anticipated 
launch of our new digital platform 
www.kyckr.com to provide an improved user 
experience and functionality for customers. 
The Kyckr online platform is one of the largest 
KYC platforms for customer identification 
worldwide.  

The platform has experienced rapid growth in 
new registrations in the last twelve months 

4 

 
 
 
 
 
with online revenue increasing consistently 
year on year, up 41% in FY19 compared to 
FY18.

IN FY19 COMPARED TO FY18 

Powered by Microsoft Azure technology, the 
Kyckr.com platform debuts an all-new mobile 
responsive design centred around client needs 
and behaviours, with quick search dropdowns, 
improved administration features, dashboard 
functionality and increased information on our 
range of compliance solutions. The launch of 
the new platform has already been well 
received by users, capturing positive feedback 
and showing strong subscriber growth.  

The platform plays a key role in supporting our 
plans to increase leads, users and sales and we 
expect strong revenue growth from this 
channel. 

The Kyckr online 
platform is one of 
the largest KYC 
platforms for 
customer 
identification 
worldwide. 

Focus on establishing strategic partnerships 
with global data providers  

Under the new leadership team, Kyckr’s 
strategy is to grow strategic partnerships with 
firms across the financial, data and technology 
sectors who are looking to accelerate the 
development of automation for their clients and 
suppliers and embed Kyckr’s unique registry 
network. We see strategic partnerships as a 
natural, progressive step in capitalising on 
Kyckr’s breadth of technologies and real-time 
global data. As a result, the Company has been 
in discussions with a number of global data 
providers to collaborate together and create 
new revenue streams. illion to resell Kyckr’s 
real-time, global registry data solutions to new 
and existing clients in Australian and New 
Zealand. We will continue to explore additional 
opportunities to forge these partnerships in the 
future. 

New agreement to provide data to ESC  

Discussions with strategic partners have 
resulted in a collaboration agreement with ESC 
Corporate Services Ltd (ESC). ESC is a leading 
facilitator of corporate legal and public records 
search/registration services to over 8,000 
banks, law firms, fin-techs, and institutions 
across Canada. ESC delivers solutions uniting 
public record data, customer authentication 
and collateral management services to support 
the lending practices of clients with businesses 
across Canada. 

The three-year agreement enables ESC to 
access US data from the Kyckr global registry 
network. Kyckr will commence services 
immediately and we will work with ESC to 
identify opportunities to generate uptake of our 
range of solutions for ESC and its client base.

Enterprise client Bank of Ireland extends 
service for three years 

legal, compliance and corporate governance in 
Europe and Asia-Pacific.  

We continue to commercialise our 
relationships with key customers and during 
the period we announced the extension of 
services to leading Irish bank, Bank of Ireland, 
for a period of three years to September 2021. 
The agreement is for a minimum contractual 
commitment of A$660k (€405k) over the period 
to provide Corporate Know-Your-Customer Due 
Diligence Services. 

Bank of Ireland has been an early adopter and 
enterprise client of Kyckr since 2015 and the 
new agreement is a validation of Kyckr’s 
technology by a blue-chip client.  

Kyckr’s offering continues to be used by a 
diversified range of blue-chip clients including 
Bloomberg, Citigroup, IBM and Bank of Ireland.  

Expertise grows with appointment of Non-
Executive Directors 

During the year we also strengthened our Board 
with the appointment of senior compliance 
executives Ms Jacqueline Kilgour and Ms 
Karina Kwan as Non-Executive Directors. 

Ms Kilgour brings more than 30 years’ financial 
services experience in regulatory compliance, 
risk management, anti-money laundering (AML) 
and corporate governance matters. She has 
successfully dealt with companies and 
regulators across the UK, Europe and the US.  

Ms Kilgour previously held the role of Managing 
Director in Citigroup's Corporate and 
Investment Banking division in New York where 
she had responsibility globally for anti-money 
laundering, and compliance for Global 
Transaction Services in over 100 countries. Ms 
Kilgour also held the role of European General 
Counsel and Company Secretary for Instinet, 
the institutional agency-only broker segment of 
Nomura Group, where she was responsible for 

Ms Kwan brings more than 30 years’ 
experience in the financial services industry, 
most recently as General Manager of Group 
Support Services Finance at the 
Commonwealth Bank of Australia. She also 
held the roles of Chief Financial Officer at 
Citigroup Australia and New Zealand. Ms 
Kwan’s exceptional expertise in risk and 
corporate governance, in-depth exposure to 
international regulation and her established 
relationships with C-suite compliance 
personnel, will be a valuable asset to the 
Company. 

As part of the Board changes, Albert Wong 
stepped down as Non-Executive Director, and 
Benny Higgins moved into a Non-Executive 
Chairman role, commencing 1 January 2019.  

Outlook 

Looking ahead, our forward strategy is shaped 
by our commitment to innovate and evolve our 
solutions and services. As regulatory 
requirements and anti-money laundering 
obligations only increase, we remain alert to 
how we continue to support our clients in the 
AML and KYC space.  

We expect to build continued growth from the 
recent launch of our web-based platform, and 
we are also looking to engage strategic 
partners, targeting collaborations that 
complement and help drive opportunities for 
further expansion.  

Whilst our year has not been without its 
challenges, we have made significant progress 
and we will continue to lay a solid foundation to 
create sustainable value for our clients, 
shareholders and investors. The Company has 
a clear strategy to deliver strong technology

and data to help clients with compliance 
requirements, and the appointment of Ian 
Henderson as the new CEO will play a vital role 
in the operations and delivery across Kyckr’s 
key markets.  

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all 
our shareholders, staff and clients for their 
ongoing loyalty and support.

Likely developments and expected results of operations

The Directors have identified the following business risks which may impact on the future performance of the Group:

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  decline  in 
revenue, each of which could adversely affect the Group’s business and operating results.

Kyckr Limited
Directors' report
30 June 2019

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
Details of remuneration
Service agreements
Share-based compensation
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, 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

●

Kyckr Limited
Directors' report
30 June 2019

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

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 2020 are summarised as follows:

Name

Benny Higgins

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.

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.

of each option is four years. 

On 10 August 2018, 1,000,000 unlisted options were granted to Benny Higgins, a Director of the company. The exercise 
price of the options of $0.20 was 48% higher than the market price of the shares on the date of grant. The options vested

On 10 August 2018, 1,000,000 unlisted options were granted to Benny Higgins, a Director of the Company. The exercise 
price of the options of $0.26 was 93% higher than the market price of the shares on the date of grant. The options vest on 
1 March 2019 and the contractual life of each option is four years.

On  1  January  2019,  3,000,000  unlisted  options  were  granted  to  Ian  Henderson.  The  exercise  price  of  the  options  of 
$0.1005  was  50%  higher  than  the  market  price  of  the  shares  at  the  date  of  grant.  The  vesting  of  these  options  is 
conditional  on  continued  employment  until  the  vesting  date,  being  3  years  from  grant  date.  The  contractual  life  of  each 
option is 4 years. 

On 1 January 2019, 5,391,063 unlisted performance rights were granted to Ian Henderson in lieu of the first year’s cash 
salary  of  £210,000.  The  performance  rights  have  service-based  vesting  conditions  only.  The  vesting  date  is  1  January 
2020, expiring 1 April 2020. Once the vesting conditions are met, the performance rights will be exercisable at nil cost.

The Board of Directors reviewed the long-term equity-linked performance incentives specifically for executives during the 
year ended 30 June 2019.

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 2019, 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 2018 Annual General Meeting ('AGM')
At the 2018 AGM, 99.46% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 30 
June 2018. The company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2019

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 27 September 2019. 
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.

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

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity:

AASB 9 Financial Instruments
The  consolidated  entity  has  adopted  AASB  9  from  1  July  2018.  The  standard  introduced  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 that are solely principal and interest. A debt investment shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive 
income if it is held within a business model whose objective is to both hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows 
which arise on specified dates that are solely principal and interest as well as selling the asset on the basis of its fair value. 
All  other  financial  assets  are  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 or 
contingent  consideration  recognised  in  a  business  combination)  in  other  comprehensive  income  ('OCI').  Despite  these 
requirements, a financial asset may be irrevocably designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss to reduce the 
effect of,  or  eliminate,  an accounting  mismatch.  For  financial liabilities designated  at  fair  value  through profit  or  loss,  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 use 
an 'expected credit loss' ('ECL') model to recognise an allowance. Impairment is measured using 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.  For  receivables,  a  simplified  approach  to  measuring  expected  credit  losses  using  a  lifetime 
expected loss allowance is available.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2019

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 15 from 1 July 2018. The standard provides a single comprehensive model for 
revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity shall recognise revenue to depict the transfer of 
promised  goods  or  services  to  customers  at  an  amount  that  reflects  the  consideration  to  which  the  entity  expects  to  be 
entitled  in  exchange  for  those  goods  or  services.  The  standard  introduced  a  new  contract-based  revenue  recognition 
model with a measurement approach that is based on an allocation of the transaction price. This is described further in the 
accounting  policies  below.  Credit  risk  is  presented  separately  as  an  expense  rather  than  adjusted  against  revenue. 
Contracts with customers are 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.  Customer 
acquisition costs and costs to fulfil a contract can, subject to certain criteria, be capitalised as an asset and amortised over 
the contract period.

Impact of adoption
The adoption of AASB 9 and AASB 15 resulted in the following adjustments:
interest receivable is now shown on the face of the profit or loss;
●
provision for impairment of receivables is now reclassified as allowance for expected credit losses; and
●
deferred revenue is now reclassified as contract liability.
●

There  were  no  material  changes  in  the  carrying  amounts  on  adoption  of  AASB  9  and  AASB  15  standards  as  at  1  July 
2018.

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 financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other 
comprehensive  income,  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 29.

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  2019  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'.

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.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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
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
Online revenue is recognised at a point in time when an online document search and purchase service is provided to the 
customer.  Enterprise  revenue  is  recognised  over  a  period  of  time  as  services  are  provided  including  automation  and 
perpetual  validation  of  customer  ‘Know  your  client’  data,  timing  differences  in  invoicing  for  services  and  completion  of 
performance obligations are recognised as contract liabilities.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the 
amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest 
rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset 
to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

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.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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

The  consolidated  entity  has  applied  the  simplified  approach  to  measuring  expected  credit  losses,  which  uses  a  lifetime 
expected  loss  allowance.  To  measure  the  expected  credit  losses,  trade  receivables  have  been  grouped  based  on  days 
overdue.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

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. Such assets are subsequently measured 
at  either  amortised  cost  or  fair  value  depending  on  their  classification.  Classification  is  determined  based  on  both  the 
business  model  within  which  such  assets  are  held  and  the  contractual  cash  flow  characteristics  of  the  financial  asset 
unless, an accounting mismatch is being avoided.

Financial  assets are  derecognised  when  the  rights  to  receive  cash  flows  have  expired  or  have  been  transferred  and  the 
consolidated  entity  has  transferred  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership.  When  there  is  no  reasonable 
expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, it's carrying value is written off.

Financial assets at amortised cost
A  financial  asset  is  measured  at  amortised  cost  only  if  both  of  the  following  conditions  are  met:  (i)  it  is  held  within  a 
business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and (ii) the contractual terms of 
the financial asset represent contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest.

Impairment of financial assets
The  consolidated  entity  recognises  a  loss  allowance  for  expected  credit  losses  on  financial  assets  which  are  either 
measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance 
depends  upon  the  consolidated  entity's  assessment  at  the  end  of  each  reporting  period  as  to  whether  the  financial 
instrument's  credit  risk  has  increased  significantly  since  initial  recognition,  based  on  reasonable  and  supportable 
information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain.

Where  there  has  not  been  a  significant  increase  in  exposure  to  credit  risk  since  initial  recognition,  a  12-month  expected 
credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable 
to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where 
it  is  determined  that  credit  risk  has  increased  significantly,  the  loss  allowance  is  based  on  the  asset's  lifetime  expected 
credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present 
value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised within 
other comprehensive income. In all other cases, the loss allowance is recognised in 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.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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.

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 and once the asset has been brought into use, 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.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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.

Contract liabilities
Contract  liabilities  represent  the  consolidated  entity's  obligation  to  transfer  goods  or  services  to  a  customer  and  are 
recognised  when  a  customer  pays  consideration,  or  when  the  consolidated  entity  recognises  a  receivable  to  reflect  its 
unconditional  right  to  consideration  (whichever  is  earlier)  before  the  consolidated  entity  has  transferred  the  goods  or 
services to the customer.

Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They 
are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, the 
loans or borrowings are classified as non-current.

Loans and borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is 
discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount and any consideration paid is recognised in 
profit or loss.

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.

Kyckr Limited
Notes to the financial statements

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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.

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.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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

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

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

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

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

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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 2019. 
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 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.  The  opening  balances  at  1  July  2019  for  the  lease  assets  will  be  in  line  with  the  lease 
commitments disclosed in note 27. 

New Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting
A  revised  Conceptual  Framework  for  Financial  Reporting  has  been  issued  by  the  AASB  and  is  applicable  for  annual 
reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2020.  This  release  impacts  for-profit  private  sector  entities  that  have 
public  accountability  that  are  required  by  legislation  to  comply  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  other  for-profit 
entities that voluntarily elect to apply the Conceptual Framework. Phase 2 of the framework is yet to be released which will 
impact for-profit private sector entities. The application of new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on 
measurement  will  result  in  amendments  to  several  accounting  standards.  The  issue  of  AASB  2019-1  Amendments  to 
Australian  Accounting  Standards  –  References  to  the  Conceptual  Framework,  also  applicable  from  1  January  2020, 
includes  such  amendments.  Where  the  consolidated  entity  has  relied  on  the  conceptual  framework  in  determining  its 
accounting  policies  for  transactions,  events  or  conditions  that  are  not  otherwise  dealt  with  under  Australian  Accounting 
Standards,  the  consolidated  entity  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  the  Black-Scholes 
model  which  takes  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.

Notes to the financial statements

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

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.

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  2019  approximately  36%  (2018:  29%)  of  the  consolidated  entity's  external  revenue  was 
derived from sales to 3 customers (2018: 1 customers).

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% (2018: 30%)
● Long term growth rate 5% (2018: 5%)
● Weighted average cost of capital 15% (2018: 15%)

Impairment charge: 
Based on the value-in-use calculation methodology and assumptions stated above, the carrying amount the CGU exceeds 
its recoverable amount and an impairment of $3,801,663 has been recognised.

Impact of possible changes in assumptions:
A reasonable possible change in the key assumptions would not result in any additional impairment to the CGU.

Note 17. 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  $6,355  (2018:  $37,322)  and  is  included  in  finance  costs,  which  in  addition  to  a  fair  value 
movement of $1,871,855 (2018: $513,644) gives a balance at 30 June 2019 of $214,500 (2018: $2,080,000).

Note 22. Financial instruments

Financial risk management objectives
The consolidated entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, 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  2019  and  30  June  2018  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.

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.

Note 22. Financial instruments (continued)

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 2019 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 2019, the carrying value of foreign currency denominated cash and cash equivalents are as follows:

The  consolidated  entity  had  cash  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  of  $112,795  as  at  30  June  2019  (30  June  2018: 
$241,486).  Based  on  this  exposure,  had  the  Australian  dollar  weakened  by  10%/strengthened  by  10%  (30  June  2018: 
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 $11,280 higher/$11,280 lower (30 June 2018: $24,149 
higher/$24,149  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
The  consolidated  entity  has  adopted  a  lifetime  expected  loss  allowance  in  estimating  expected  credit  losses  to  trade 
receivables  through  the  use  of  a  provisions  matrix  using  fixed  rates  of  credit  loss  provisioning.  These  provisions  are 
considered  representative  across  all  customers  of  the  consolidated  entity  based  on  recent  sales  experience,  historical 
collection rates and forward-looking information that is available.

Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include 
the  failure  of  a  debtor  to  engage  in  a  repayment  plan,  no  active  enforcement  activity  and  a  failure  to  make  contractual 
payments for a period greater than 1 year.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2019

Note 22. Financial instruments (continued)

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.

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 
financial position.

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 2019, 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 2019 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. 

61 

 
 
 
 
 
 
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 $8,448,416 arising from the 
acquisition of Kyckr Ireland during 
the 2017 financial year. 

The assessment of recoverability 
of the goodwill required a 
significant degree of management 
judgement given the short trading 
history of the Group, the early 
lifecycle stage, 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 during the 3 months post year-end, including 
consideration of the factors impacting the share price and 
activities undertaken by the group. 

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 2019, 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.  

62 

 
 
 
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 14 to 22 of the directors’ Report for the year 
ended 30 June 2019.  

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Kyckr Limited for the year ended 30 June 2019, 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.
