We are LiveTiles
LiveTiles is a workplace technology company,
creating digital workplace solutions that
revolutionise the modern workplace. We deliver
ground-breaking enterprise technology products
that are modular and highly configurable and
are supported by professional expertise. This
combination of technology and expertise improves
people’s productivity, creativity and connectivity
in the workplace. At this very moment, millions of
people are doing their best work thanks to LiveTiles.
Our vision is to revolutionise the way humans interact with
technology, and the way in which technology interacts with humans.
To progress towards that vision, our purpose at LiveTiles is to
focus on simplifying the complex, by designing solutions that focus
on the human experience that gives everyone the ability to thrive.
We believe that the world is a better place when people are free
to do their best work.
With that vision and purpose in mind, we founded LiveTiles and started
with a seemingly simple proposition to develop intranet software,
and turn a critical but under-developed, under-appreciated and under-
invested hub in the technology stack of companies around the world,
into something more beautiful and fun to engage with.

to progress towards our vision and purpose with increasingly personalised

customers, supporting their employees to communicate and collaborate
in the new world of remote work and work from home.
Since launching LiveTiles with our Page Designer product some five
years ago, we have come a long way. The product portfolio has changed
significantly since then, through a combination of internal product
development and software support services and the acquisitions of
Hyperfish in 2018, Wizdom in February 2019 and CYCL in December 2019.
As a result, we moved to simplify and realign our products and branding

Letter from

LiveTiles Annual Report 20208
Dear shareholder,
On behalf of your Board and the Company,
we are pleased to present the annual report
for your company for the financial year
ended 30 June 2020 (FY20).
LiveTiles continues to remain excited about
its significant market and growth potential
notwithstanding continued challenging
operating conditions due to COVID-19.
FY20 provided significant challenges due to the global
pandemic, but we believe our timely and measured cost
controls, product consolidation and other responses
have put LiveTiles in a strong position to withstand
challenges and capture opportunities in both a COVID
and post-COVID environment. In June, we wrote to all
shareholders providing an update on our strategy and
COVID response. This saw us pivot to pursue a clear
objective of continuing to grow, but from a position
of neutral operating cash burn as soon as practicably
possible. We have outlined an objective of reaching
this point during calendar 2020, subject to
operating conditions.
In FY20 total revenue and other income was
$44.5 million, growth of 98% on the prior year,
whilst customer cash receipts rose 114%
to $41 million.
NPAT losses improved by 26% to ($31.6m).
Excluding non-cash expenses, the loss before
tax was $16.3 million (FY19: $32.1 million).
Cash on hand grew 154% to $37.8m aided by our
$55m capital raising, with lower operating cash
burn particularly in the fourth quarter.
In addition to our financial growth, the number
of LiveTiles reseller partners that have transacted
at least once grew to over 220, up from 178 in
the prior year, broadening this valuable growth
channel for the Company. Further, the December
2019 acquisition of CYCL provided a highly technically
skilled team, fantastic products and new organic
growth opportunities.
Global market opportunity
Our strategy continues to align with Microsoft,
and we extended our global market leadership
FY20 financial and operating results
in intranet software during FY20. We have a clear
It has been another year of significant growth in
revenue and customers for LiveTiles, which saw
annualised recurring revenue (ARR1) reach $53.8
million for the year ended 30 June 2020, a 34%
increase (or $13.7 million) on the prior corresponding
period. The number of paying customers grew to
1092, a 19% increase on the previous year, with
average ARR2 per customer rising by 22% in FY19,
as our team focused on the enterprise segment,
where organisations with larger numbers of
employees are increasingly discovering the
value of our digital workplace software.
strategy to target the ~400,000 organisations that
use the Microsoft Office 365 platform. We estimate
this market remains only 1% penetrated in respect
to “low-code” intranet software, a category created
by LiveTiles only a few years ago. Assuming broad
market adoption of low code intranet software,
as opposed to the traditional method of custom
development, a more expensive and time consuming
proposition, we believe this total market to be ~$17
billion annually. In addition to this substantial market
adoption opportunity, there are also opportunities to
grow recurring revenue through increasing both the
proportion of customer employees under subscription
and the number of products offered to customers.
Notes:
1. LiveTiles defines Annualised Recurring Revenue (ARR) as revenue, normalised on an annual basis, that LiveTiles has a reasonable expectation it will continue to receive from its customers for providing them
with products and services. This definition includes committed recurring Subscriptions for products and services and includes service types where there is a demonstrable track record of repeat revenues such
as support. It excludes revenue deemed unlikely to be recurring in nature.
2. Average ARR measured in constant currency terms.

Highlights
Annualised Recurring Revenue1 (ARR) grew by 34% in the 2020 financial year to $53.8m (2019: $40.1m),
with $13.7m of ARR added in the 2020 financial year. Excluding the impact of the CYCL acquisition during
the 2020 financial year, whereby the Group acquired $4.7m in ARR, significant organic ARR growth of 22%
was achieved in the year. On a constant currency basis when compared with 31 March 2020 rates, ARR
reached $58.2m as at 30 June 2020. ARR growth was driven by the Group’s internal sales and marketing
channels, development of the Group’s partner channel, strategic partnerships, ongoing product innovation

3 Executive remuneration arrangements
Remuneration principles
The Group’s approach to executive remuneration is based on the following objectives:
• Ensuring the Company’s remuneration structures are equitable and aligned with long-term interests
of the Company and its shareholders;
• Attracting and retaining skilled executives; and
• Structuring short and long-term incentives that are challenging and linked to the creation of sustainable
shareholder returns.

Company performance
A key underlying principle of the Group’s executive remuneration framework is that remuneration levels
should be linked to Group performance. Due to the Group’s strategy of investing in growth to drive recurring
revenues and future profitability, it has not been appropriate, to date, to assess the Group’s performance
on the basis of profitability.
The Group’s key financial measures of performance are summarised in the table below:

1. LiveTiles defines ARR as revenue, normalised on an annual basis, that LiveTiles has a reasonable expectation it will continue to receive from its customers for providing them with products and services.
This definition includes committed recurring subscriptions for products and services, and includes service types where there is a demonstrable track record of repeat revenues such as support. It excludes
revenue deemed unlikely to be recurring in nature.
The Group’s key financial measure of performance over the longer term is the increase in annualised
recurring revenue and share price appreciation. Annualised recurring revenue has increased to $53.8m
at 30 June 2020 from $40.1 million at 30 June 2019. Since re-listing on the ASX on 17 September 2015,
the Company’s share price has appreciated from the re-listing price of $0.15 to $0.23 as at 30 June 2020.
Shareholder alignment is driven by the structure of the Management Incentive Plan, where share price
appreciation drives value for executives through the Plan (refer to section 7 of the Remuneration Report).
4 Executive contracts
Remuneration arrangements for executives are formalised in employment agreements. The table below

5 Executive remuneration details
Details of the remuneration paid to KMP executives for the year are set out below.
COVID-19 impact
During the 2020 financial year, the Group temporarily reduced director, executive and employee salaries
by 20% as a result of expected impact of COVID-19 on the business and the wider economic environment.
The reduction was in effect from 10 April to 26 June 2020 and was applied to salaries only.
Fixed remuneration and Long-Term Incentive (LTI)
The Board sought an independent review of executive director remuneration, which was reviewed during
financial year 2019 with salary increases for executive directors implemented effective 1 July 2019 and laid
out in the 2019 remuneration report.
Since the date of the 2019 remuneration report the Executive Directors have not received an increase
to their base salary. Further, no KMP were awarded additional LTI in financial year 2020. The CEO and
CXO, respectively, remain the single largest shareholders in the Group, providing strong alignment with
shareholder interests.
LiveTiles Annual Report 2020Remuneration Report
35
Short-Term Incentive (STI)
In respect of Executive Director STI paid for financial year 2020, targets related to ARR growth, consistent
with prior financial years. ARR has been selected by the Board as a primary measure for performance since
LiveTiles listed on ASX in 2015, as this is a broadly accepted measure of revenue and growth performance
for pre-profitability Software as a Service (SaaS) comparable companies in light of their recurring nature
and intrinsic recurring cash flow value to shareholders.
STI payments to KMP fell by 57% from $1.6m in FY19 to $0.7m in financial year 2020. The Group achieved
90% of the Group’s FY20 ARR target, however the Executive Directors received approximately 50% of
remuneration ‘at target’ in financial year 2020. The lower payment is a result of the Board adding additional
metrics to Executive Director STI scorecards during the financial year. The Company’s annual performance
management cycle is due to complete during September. The Board is in the process of finalising its updated
KMP remuneration framework as the Group’s strategic objectives evolved during the financial year as
a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These changes are also being implemented as a result of investor
and proxy firm feedback to add additional performance metrics beyond ARR to the Company’s
remuneration framework.
These objectives now encompass cash burn efficiency, growth in recurring revenues and other qualitative
metrics aligned to strategy. The Board will update investors on these metrics at the Company’s Annual
General Meeting in November 2020.
CFO targets relate to the external audit, global taxation framework, implementation of supporting business
systems, strategic planning, transformation and operations support.

6 Non-executive director fee arrangements
The Board seeks to set the fees for non-executive directors at a level which provides the Company
with the ability to attract and retain directors of a high calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable
to shareholders.
Under the Company’s constitution and the ASX listing rules, the maximum aggregate amount of fees that can
be paid to non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting
of shareholders. The current aggregate fee pool for the non-executive directors is $500,000.
Each non-executive director receives a fee for being a director of the Company. In addition, a non-executive
director may be paid fees or other amounts as the Board determines where a non-executive director
performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a director.
Non-executive directors are also entitled to be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in performing
their duties as directors.
Non-executive letters of appointment are in place with Dana Rasmussen, Andrew McKeon and David Lemphers.
For the year ended 30 June 2020, Mr McKeon was entitled to remuneration of $100,000 per annum
(including superannuation) (2019: $100,000).
For the year ended 30 June 2020, Mr Lemphers was entitled to remuneration of $100,000 per annum
(including superannuation) (2019: $100,000).
For the period from 27 September 2019 to 30 June 2020, Ms Rasmussen was entitled to remuneration
of $100,000 per annum (including superannuation).
For the period from 1 July 2019 to 27 September 2019, Ms Kelly was entitled to remuneration of $135,000
per annum (including superannuation) (2018: $135,000). Ms Kelly resigned as Non-Executive Director on
27 September 2019.
Deferred directors’ fees have been accrued in the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020.
The table below outlines remuneration paid to non-executive directors for the year. During the 2020 financial
year, the Board of Directors, along with executives and employees, temporarily reduced their salaries by 20%
as a result of the impact of COVID-19. The reduction was in effect from 10 April to 26 June 2020.

7 Equity instruments held by key management personnel
Options held by key management personnel during the year
There were no options held by key management personnel at 30 June 2020 (2019: nil).
Management Incentive Plan
The purpose of the Management Incentive Plan (MIP) is to assist in the reward, retention and motivation of
eligible directors and management and to align the interests of these persons more closely with the interests of
the Company’s shareholders. Shares issued under the MIP to executives who are key management personnel
have been structured such that executives are remunerated only when the Company’s share price exceeds
the vesting price.
The issue price of shares issued under the MIP is funded by a non-recourse interest free loan from the
Company. The issue price and loan value is set with reference to the closing share price on the date prior to
issue. Vesting of shares issued under the MIP is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of vesting conditions
determined by the Board. Subject to the MIP rules, any unvested shares lapse immediately and are forfeited
if the relevant vesting conditions are not satisfied within the applicable vesting period. Once vested, shares
issued under the MIP are treated in the same way as all other ordinary shares, subject to the full repayment
of any outstanding loan by the relevant executive.
LiveTiles Annual Report 2020Remuneration Report
38
The Board has the sole discretion to determine the directors and employees who are eligible to participate
in the MIP and the terms upon which shares are issued under the MIP, including the issue price, loan amount
and vesting conditions.
The following tranches of shares have been issued to key management personnel under the MIP:

The following non-recourse loans have been provided by the Company to key management personnel
under the MIP (as approved by shareholders at a general meeting on 3 July 2015). The non-recourse loans
are interest-free and the proceeds are used to subscribe for shares in the Company under the MIP.
The non-recourse loans are treated as off-balance sheet due to the inherent uncertainty that they will
crystallise. Under the terms of the MIP, there is no obligation to settle the loan, which is dependent on the
satisfaction of the vesting conditions and the recipient’s option to exercise. The shares remain restricted
until funds are received in settlement of the prescribed loan balance, providing the Company security over
the receivable.

The loans in the above table, first raised in April 2019, have been provided to the co-founders to assist with their
defence of litigation brought against them, as advised to ASX on 1 June 2018. While the Group has engaged its
own lawyers to represent the four Group entities named in the litigation, instructed by the independent
non-executive directors, the loans above solely relate to legal advice sought by co-founders.
The loans have been provided at arm’s length with a total capped amount of $475,000 per person. Interest
charged at 15% per annum and is capitalised annually. There have been no write-downs of balances owed
during the period. No provision is held in relation to the collection of these balances.
The loan is repayable, including interest, 180 days after the later of 1) the case is settled, 2) findings
determined against the defendants or 3) receipt of cost assessors certificate but no later than 31 December
2022. The independent non-executive directors, supported by legal counsel, continue to monitor the case
on behalf of the Group and the governance of these loans.

h. Research and development
agreements with the tax consolidated entities are
recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to
other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax
funding arrangement ensures that the intercompany
charge equals the current tax liability or benefit
of each tax consolidated group member, resulting
in neither a contribution by the head entity to the
subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries
to the head entity.
g. Business combinations
Business combinations occur where an acquirer
obtains control over one or more businesses.
Research costs are expensed in the period
in which they are incurred.
Development costs are only capitalised when it is
probable that the project will be a success, the Group
will use or sell the asset, the Group has sufficient
resources and intent to complete the asset and the
development costs can be measured reliably. If one or
more of these criteria are not met, development costs
are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Capitalised development costs are amortised on a
straight-line basis over the period of their expected
pattern of consumption, up to 5 years.
A business combination will be accounted for from
i. Foreign currency transactions
the date that control is attained whereby fair value
and balances
of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed is recognised (with limited exceptions).
The consideration transferred the acquisition
including any contingent consideration is generally
measured at fair value. Where the fair value of
the consideration is greater than the fair value
of the identifiable assets and liabilities, goodwill
is recognised. Goodwill is tested annually for
impairment. Where fair value of the consideration
is less than fair value of the identifiable assets and
liabilities, a gain on a bargain purchase is recognised
in the Income Statement.
Transaction costs are expensed as incurred
unless except if they relate to the issue of debt
or equity securities.
Contingent consideration is classified as a financial
liability. Subsequent changes in the fair value of
the contingent consideration are recognised in
the Income Statement.
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the Group’s
entities is measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which that entity operates.
The consolidated financial statements are presented
in Australian dollars, which is the parent entity’s
functional currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated
into functional currency using the exchange rates
prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign
currency monetary items are translated at the year-
end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured
at historical cost continue to be carried at the
exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value are
reported at the exchange rate at the date when
fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation
of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
o. Revenue and other income
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that
the economic benefit will flow to the Group and
the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue
is measured at the fair value of the consideration
received or receivable.
Software subscription revenue
Subscription revenue is recognised when the Group’s
performance obligations are satisfied. For annual
subscription licences, revenue is recognised evenly
over the subscription period for which the customer
has paid. For perpetual licences, where an upfront
payment is made in addition to annual support
fees, revenue related to the up front payment is
recognised evenly over the estimated lifetime of
the customer contract.
Where a customer pays their subscription in
advance, that amount is recorded as a liability on
the balance sheet until the Group provides the
purchased software for that period.
Services revenue
Revenue from services are recognised by reference
to the stage of completion. Stage of completion is
measured by reference to labour hours incurred to
date as a percentage of total estimated labour hours
for each contract.
Research and development grant income
Research and development grant income is recognised
when the Group is entitled to the research and
development grant. The amount is treated as other
income in the period in which the research and
development costs were incurred.
Grant income
Government grants are recognised at fair value where
there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be
received and all grant conditions will be met. Grants
relating to expense items are recognised as income
over the periods necessary to match the grant to
the costs it is compensating. Grants relating to assets
are credited to deferred income at fair value and are
credited to income over the expected useful life of
the asset on a straight-line basis.
Interest income
Interest income 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.
p. Financial instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised
when the Group becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and
financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value.
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial
liabilities (other than financial assets and financial
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added
to or deducted from the fair value of the financial
assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial
recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to
the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities
at fair value through profit or loss are recognised
immediately in profit or loss.
LiveTiles Annual Report 2020Consolidated Financial Statements 55
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial assets that meet the following conditions
Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, the Group
are measured subsequently at amortised cost:
assesses whether there is objective evidence that
• Held within a business model whose objective
is to hold financial assets in order to collect
contractual cash flows;
• The contractual terms of the financial asset give
rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal
amount outstanding.
Financial assets that meet the following conditions
are measured subsequently at fair value through
other comprehensive income (FVTOCI):
• The financial asset is held within a business
model whose objective is achieved by both
collecting contractual cash flows and selling
the financial assets;
a financial instrument has been impaired. The
impairment methodology applied depends on
whether there has been a significant increase in
credit risk. The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified
approach to measuring expected credit losses which
uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade
receivables and contract assets.
q. Goods and Services Tax (GST),
Value Added Tax (VAT) and other
consumption taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
r. 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 normal operating cycle; it is held
primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected
to be realised within 12 months after the reporting
Customer contracts and relationships
Customer contracts and relationships acquired
as part of a business combination is recognised
separately from goodwill. The customer contracts
and relationships are carried at fair value at the
date of acquisition less accumulated amortisation
and impairment losses. Customer contracts and
relationship assets are amortised over the period

period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless
t. Earnings per share
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 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.
s. Intangible assets
Goodwill
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is
measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
The Group tests goodwill annually or more frequently
if events or changes in circumstances indicate that
goodwill may be impaired.
Intellectual property
Intellectual property acquired as part of a business
combination is recognised separately from goodwill.
The intellectual property assets are carried at fair
value at the date of acquisition less accumulated
amortisation and impairment losses. Intellectual
property assets are amortised over the period in
which the benefits are expected to be obtained.
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the
profit or loss attributable to the owners of LiveTiles
Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other
than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number
of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial
period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary
shares issued during the financial period.
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.
u. Critical accounting estimates
and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements requires

x. New accounting standards and
interpretations not yet adopted
The Directors have reviewed all of the new and
revised accounting standards and interpretations
issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board
for annual reporting periods beginning or after 1 July
2019. It has been determined that there is no impact,
material or otherwise, of any other new or revised
accounting standards and interpretations other than
those outlined in the new and amended standards
adopted by the group outlined above.
y. Going concern
For the year ended 30 June 2020, the Group made a
loss of $31,604,441 (2019: $42,765,589) and had net
cash flows used in operating activities of $9,250,456
(2019: $33,074,429).
Operating cash outflows during the current financial
year include non-recurring restructuring costs and
redundancy payments. Operating cash outflows
include professional fees incurred in connection with
the acquisition of CYCL AG. Further cost savings are
expected to realised in future periods as a result of
reduced headcount and other cost synergies realised
from restructuring completed during the period. A
$50,000,000 share placement announced by the
Group on 19 September 2019. Net proceeds from the
share placement of $46,370,983 were received on 23
September 2019. With a further $4,999,999 raised
on 18 October 2019 through a Share Purchase Plan.
At 30 June 2020, the Group had a cash balance of
$37,791,314 (2019: $14,880,920).
The Directors are of the opinion that the Group
will be able to continue as a going concern taking
into account, cash on hand, reduced operating cash
outflows, expected growth in customer receipts and
the ongoing management of cash operating expenses.

Provision for doubtful debts
The Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for the impairment of trade and other receivables
as well as other current assets and records the loss allowance at the amount equal to the lifetime expected
credit loss (ECL). In using this practical expedient, the Group uses its historical experience, external indicators,
and forward-looking information to calculate the ECL using a provision matrix. From this calculation, it was
determined that the ECL in trade and other receivables was immaterial to be disclosed separately.
During the period, the Group recognised a doubtful debt expense of $205,797 (2019: $371,379).
This is shown within Other Expenses of $4,425,711 (2019: $2,258,233).

NOTE 9: TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (CONTINUED)
Research and development grant receivable
The Group is entitled to claim eligible research and development expenditure (grant income) with the Australian
Federal Government.
The Group has taken a prudent view of only accruing estimated grant income on Australian expenditure.
Grant income on eligible overseas expenditure is recognised when certain.
In August 2019, LiveTiles received $0.9m and $2.9m for the 2017 and 2018 financial years, respectively,
in relation to eligible expenditure claimed under the research and development tax incentive scheme.
The amounts received represent eligible expenditure incurred in Australia and the USA.
In April 2020, the Group received $5.6m for eligible expenditure incurred in the 2019 financial year.
Of the total received, $4.5m was not accrued as at 30 June 2019 as follows:
1. Eligible overseas expenditure not recognised as income in the 2019 financial year of $3.5m,
in line with the Company’s accounting policy; and
2. Additional eligible Australian R&D expenditure of $1.0m.
The Group has not recognised an accrual for grant income relating to the 2020 financial year. As a result
of the Group’s turnover exceeding $20m during the 2020 financial year, the Group is no longer entitled
to receive a refund under the research and development tax incentive scheme, instead, the Group is entitled
to receive a tax offset on eligible expenditure. In line with the Group’s accounting policy for deferred tax
assets, no balance has been recorded.
A breakdown of research and development grant receivable is as follows:

Credit risk
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counterparty or group
of counterparties. The class of assets described as “trade and other receivables” is considered to be the main
source of credit risk related to the Group.
On a geographical basis, the Group has credit risk exposures in Australia, Asia, North America, Europe and
the Middle East. The Group’s exposure to credit risk for trade receivables at the end of the reporting period
in those regions is as follows:

impairment provided for thereon. Amounts are considered as “past due” when the debt has not been settled,
with the terms and conditions agreed between the Group and the customer or counterparty to the transaction.
Receivables that are past due are assessed for impairment by ascertaining solvency of the debtors and are
provided for where there are specific circumstances indicating that the debt may not be fully repaid to the Group.
The balances of receivables that remain within initial trade terms (as detailed in the table) are considered
to be of high credit quality.

NOTE 12: INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED)
The estimated useful life of capitalised development costs is determined to be in line with the frequency at
which our software is updated and replaced. During the 2020 financial year, development costs were fully
amortised in the same financial year given the iterative nature and frequency of updates in the Group’s
product life cycle.
Other intangible assets have a finite life and are amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.
The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. The useful
life software intellectual property is 10 years. The useful life of customer contracts and relationships is 2 years.
Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
The Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment. For the 2020 and 2019 reporting
periods, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units (CGUs) was determined based on value-in-use
calculations, using cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a
five-year period.
The assumptions used for the current reporting period may differ from the assumptions in the next reporting
period as internal and external circumstances and expectations change. The Group has used the following
assumptions in the 30 June 2020 calculation of value-in-use, based on past performance and management’s
expectations for the future:
• Annual sales growth rates of between 10%-20% over the five-year forecast period,
representing compound annual growth rates of 12.57%-15.92% over the same period;
• Terminal growth rate of 2.0%; and
• Post-tax discount rate of 20.0%.
Assumptions for gross margin, other operating costs and annual capital expenditure are based on past
performance and management’s expectations for the future.
Management has performed sensitivity analysis and assessed reasonable changes for key assumptions and has
not identified any instances that could cause the carrying amount of the group of CGUs, over which goodwill is
monitored, to exceed its recoverable amount.

The Group leases various offices and equipment. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of
2 to 5 years but may have extension options. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain
a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants,
but leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.

Unearned income is carried at amortised cost and represents amounts billed to customers in advance of the
revenue being recognised in accordance with the revenue recognition policy outlined in note 1. Unearned
income is presented as a current liability unless the performance obligations associated with the revenue
will be satisfied in greater than 12 months.
US government program repayable relates to amounts owed to the United States (US) Federal Government
for monies loaned to the Group on a 1% annual interest loan under the US Small Business Administration
(SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) (the program). Monies under this program were distributed by
US commercial banks in accordance with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act)
enacted on 27 March 2020.
Under the program, the Group applied for, and received, an amount of $1,866,204 (USD $1,279,800). Under
the terms of the program this was calculated to enable to Group to draw funds to the value of eight weeks
payroll, employee related on costs and rental expenses. To the extent that the borrowed funds were used for
these purposes, under the terms of the program, loan monies would be forgiven, adjusted for any reduction
of headcount. The Group has estimated that the value of the loan which will be forgiven as $1,343,356, to
reflect the reduction in headcount in the US as a result of restructuring during the period. This will be assessed
during FY21. Government grant income has been recorded for the value of this estimated forgiveness, with the
remaining balance of the loan remaining a payable. The unforgiven balance of the loan is not due and payable
within the next twelve months.

Provision for employee benefits
Provision for employee benefits represents amounts accrued for annual leave and long service leave.
The current portion for this provision includes the total amount accrued for annual leave entitlements and the
amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have vested due to employees having completed the
required period of service. Based on past experience, the Group does not expect the full amount of annual leave
or long service leave balances classified as current liabilities to be settled within the next 12 months. However,
these amounts must be classified as current liabilities since the Group does not have an unconditional right to
defer the settlement of these amounts in the event employees wish to use their leave entitlement. It is expected
that $453,827 will not be taken in the next 12 months.
The non-current portion for this provision includes amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that
have not yet vested in relation to those employees who have not yet completed the required period of service.
In calculating the present value of future cash flows in respect of long service leave, the probability of long
service leave being taken is based on historical data. Refer to note 1 for the measurement and recognition
criteria relating to employee benefits.

The plans are exposed to a number of risks, including:
• Investment risk: movement of discount rate

• Restrictions on early withdrawals of benefits.
2. If a shortfall persists, for the duration of the

employers or pensioners.
In the event that a funding shortfall does occur,
separately to the pension plan regulations,
the Swiss Government has established a scheme,

may be entitled to subsidies to enable equalisation.
The fund may act to provide subsidies in the
following circumstances:

age structure; or
• where a pension fund has become insolvent.

NOTE 18: NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES – PENSION LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)
AASB 119 requires that the assets and obligations of the fund are valued in accordance with an actuarial
valuation, using the projected unit credit method. Under this method, where the fair value of plan assets
differs from the projected benefit obligation of a pension plan must be recorded on the Consolidated
Balance Sheet as an asset, in the case of an overfunded plan, or as a liability, in the case of an underfunded plan.
The gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise but are not recognised as components of
pension cost are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. The service costs related to
defined benefits are included in operating income. The other components of net benefit cost are presented in
the consolidated profit and loss separately from the service cost component and outside operating income.
The following tables summarise the components of net benefit expense recognised in profit and loss,

NOTE 18: NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES – PENSION LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)
The projected unit credit method, requires management make certain assumptions relating to the long-term
rate of return on plan assets, discount rates used to determine the present value of future obligations and
expenses, salary inflation rates, mortality rates and other assumptions. The accounting estimates related to
our pension plans are highly susceptible to change from period to period based on the performance of plan
assets, actuarial valuations, market conditions and contracted benefit changes.
The selection of assumptions is based on historical trends and known economic and market conditions
at the time of valuation, as well as independent studies of trends performed by our actuarial advisors.
However, actual results may differ substantially from the estimates that were based on the critical assumptions.
The reconciliation to the fair value of plan assets and projected benefit obligation under the projected unit
method are shown over page.

The Group reviews annually the discount rate used to calculate the present value of pension plan liabilities.
The discount rate used at each measurement date is set based on a high-quality corporate bond yield curve,
derived based on bond universe information sourced from reputable third-party indexes, data providers, and
rating agencies. Additionally, the expected long term rate of return on plan assets is derived for each benefit
plan by considering the expected future long-term return assumption for each individual asset class. A single
long-term return assumption is then derived for each plan based upon the plan’s target asset allocation.

c. Contingent payment on acquisition of Hyperfish, Inc
On 8 June 2018, LiveTiles acquired Hyperfish, Inc from Orange Fish Holdings LLC. Because part of the total
amount payable to Orange Fish Holdings LLC is contingent on the continued employment of key Hyperfish
staff, such amount is deemed to be a share based payment for post combination services. The fair value has
been determined using the market price of LiveTiles shares, probability of contingencies being met and an
appropriate discount rate to reflect payment periods.
d. Contingent payment on acquisition of Wizdom A/S
On 13 February 2019, LiveTiles acquired Wizdom A/S from Webtop Holding ApS. Because part of the total
amount payable to Webtop Holding ApS is contingent on the continued employment of key Wizdom staff,
such amount is deemed to be a share based payment for post combination services. The fair value has
been determined using the market price of LiveTiles shares, probability of contingencies being met and an
appropriate discount rate to reflect payment periods.

Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with Management under authority
of the Board.
Risks exposures and responses
i. Interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk is minimal given the Group has no borrowings.
The Group does not enter into any interest rate swaps, interest rate options or similar derivatives.
At the balance date, the Group had the following mix of financial assets and liabilities exposed to Australian
variable interest rate risk that are not designated in cash flow hedges:
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents

ii. Foreign currency risk
The Group’s functional currency is Australian dollars (AUD) and the Group is exposed to transactional currency
exposures. Such exposures arise primarily as a result of sales and expenses of LiveTiles Corporation being
made in foreign currencies in addition to bank accounts being held in foreign entities. Foreign currency risk is
managed by holding the Group’s cash in a combination of USD, DKK, EUR, CHF and AUD. Management also
reviews the foreign currency product pricing structure on a quarterly basis.

NOTE 27: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
iv. Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial
loss to the Group. The Group assesses the credit worthiness of the counterparty before entering into a sales
contract. Further mitigating this risk is the ability to turn off the customer’s software if a customer begins
to default on their contractual obligations. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to
recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment to those assets,
as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.
v. Fair value of financial instruments
Unless otherwise stated, the carrying value of financial instruments reflect their fair value. The carrying
amounts of trade receivables and trade payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their
short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual
maturities at their current market interest rate that is available for similar financial instruments.
NOTE 28: OPERATING SEGMENTS
The consolidated entity has identified three operating segments based on the internal reports that
are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors & Chief Executive Officer (who is identified as the
Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources
to operating segments and assessing their performance.
The operating results of the consolidated entity are currently reviewed by the CODM and decisions
are based on three operating segments which also represent the three reporting segments, as follows:
Americas
APAC
EMEA
Represents the revenue and operating expenses attributable to activities conducted
in United States of America, Canada, Central America & South America.
Represents the revenue and operating expenses attributable to activities conducted
in Australia, New Zealand & Asia.
Represents the revenue and operating expenses attributable to activities conducted
in Europe, Middle East & Africa.

The CODM uses adjusted EBITDA as a measure to assess the performance of the segments. This excludes
the effects of significant items of income and expenditure which may have an impact on the quality of
earnings such as acquisition costs, legal expenses and impairments when the impairment is the result
of an isolated, non–recurring event. It also excludes the effects of equity-settled share-based payments,
unrealised gains/losses on financial instruments and amortisation of intangibles.
Interest income and expenditure are not allocated to segments, as this type of activity is driven
by the central treasury function, which manages the cash position of the Group.

NOTE 29: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
As per ASX announcements of 2 May 2018 and 1 June 2018, four subsidiaries of LiveTiles have been added
to proceedings (among a total of 12 defendants) concerning a shareholder dispute involving the co-founders
of LiveTiles, Mr Karl Redenbach (CEO) and Mr Peter Nguyen-Brown (CXO). Proceedings have been brought
by Mr Karl Redenbach’s brother, Mr Keith Redenbach. The proceedings have been referred to mediation to
take place on 18 September 2020 before Mr McDougall QC, and set down for a hearing to occur later this
year. The assessment of the directors is that the outcome remains too uncertain to recognise a liability.
