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.

PRODUCT PORTFOLIO

Refreshed product portfolio in July 2020

World-leading intranet software 
for companies of all sizes to 
centralise their news, 
communications, policies and 
procedures. LiveTiles Intranet 
for enterprise, is what Wix & 
Squarespace are for customer 
websites – the product that lets 
you build what the users 
interact with.

A dynamic app which is a 
persistent menu that allows a 
user to consume information 
from any source or system, 
without the need to leave the 
current application they work 
from the most. Significantly 
reduces wasted time and 
workplace complexity, improves 
productivity, and maximises the 
employee experience.

Employee mobile 
communications app. 
Perfect for dispersed 
workforces, such as retail, 
healthcare and government. 
Quick to implement and 
easy to deploy.

The intelligent workplace 
toolkit – a suite of modules 
that enables customers to 
collect & analyse data from 
multiple applications for 
powerful business insights 
and AI empowered 
processes. The data from 
Quantum drives importance 
business decision making.

Since our first paying customer in 2015 our team has been working hard 

to progress towards our vision and purpose with increasingly personalised 

experiences for people at work. Recent COVID events have redefined for 

many of us what work entails, providing additional meaning to our vision 

and purpose. Our team is hugely energised with the opportunity to help 

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  

into 4 key categories along with services and solutions.

Letter from  
the CEO and Chair 

LiveTiles Annual Report 20208

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 

and strengthening brand awareness.

Customer numbers continued to grow strongly, with 1,092 paying customers as at 30 June 2020, up from 919 

customers as at 30 June 2019. Excluding the impact of the CYCL acquisition, paying customers grew by 34 from

portfolio of products, its ongoing sales and marketing investments and co-marketing initiatives with Microsoft 

and other partners.

Notes: 

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.

2.  Acquired ARR is defined as the ARR of the acquired businesses on the date of acquisition. Any ARR growth generated by acquired businesses post-acquisition date is considered to be organic growth.

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  

sets out the key terms and conditions of the employment contracts of the CEO and senior executives.

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.

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.

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 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.

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding 

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

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.

Defined contribution pension benefits

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.

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  

of the amount of GST or VAT, except where the 

amount of GST or VAT incurred is not recoverable 

from the local tax office. 

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive

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  

in which the benefits are expected to be obtained.

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 

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.

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:

Research and development grant receivable related to 2017 expenditure

Research and development grant receivable related to 2018 expenditure

Research and development grant receivable related to 2019 expenditure

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:

The following table details the Group’s trade and other receivables exposed to credit with ageing analysis and 

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.

•  Restrictions on early withdrawals of benefits.

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,  

the LOB Guarantee Fund, by which pension funds  

may be entitled to subsidies to enable equalisation.  

The fund may act to provide subsidies in the  

following circumstances:

•  benefit schemes with an unfavourable  

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

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.

NOTE 24: SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS EXPENSE (CONTINUED)

Fair value is independently determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account 

the effective exercise price, the term of the non-recourse loans, the share price at grant date and expected 

price volatility of the underlying share. An adjustment has also been made to the valuation to reflect the time 

and price based vesting conditions. The volatility is based on the volatility in the Company’s share price since 

the date of the reverse acquisition. The assumptions used to value the Management Incentive Plan shares

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.

NOTE 27: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables and cash.

The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks, including interest rate, foreign currency, credit risk 

and liquidity risk, with the objective of providing support to the delivery of the Group’s financial target while 

protecting financial security.

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk 

and foreign currency risk. The Group uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risk to 

which it is exposed. These include analysis of aging reports to monitor and manage credit risk, analysis of future 

rolling cash flow forecasts to monitor and manage liquidity risk, monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate 

and foreign currency risk, and assessments of market forecasts for interest rate and foreign currency exchange 

rate movement.

The Board reviews and agrees risk management strategies for managing each of the risk identified above.

LiveTiles Annual Report 2020Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 27: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

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:

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.

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.

To the members of LiveTiles Limited 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion  

We have audited the financial report of LiveTiles Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the 
Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the 
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement 
of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes 
to the financial report, 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 2020 and of its 
financial performance for the year ended on that date; 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 (including Independence Standards) (the Code) 
that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia.  We have also fulfilled our other 
ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 

We 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.
