Changes in state of affairs 

New business and acquisitions 

The  company  launched  N1  Realty  business in July  2016  and  acquired  Sydney  Boutique  Property  Pty  Ltd  ACN 
105 656 442, a Sydney based real estate agency business, on 21 October 2016 for consideration of $1,940,000. 
The  Company  borrowed  $1,000,000  to  fund  this  acquisition.  The  Company  subsequently  acquired  3  additional 
property management rent rolls for a total consideration of $191,645 excluding GST.   

On 17 August 2016, N1 Loans Pty Ltd acquired loan trail book from Aura Private Wealth Pty Ltd ACN 158 184 
000 for a total consideration of $336,661.50 excluding GST. 

New capital raise and borrowings 

On  12  May  2017,  the  Company  issued  1.85  million  unlisted  unsecured  convertible  notes  with  total  value  of 
$370,000. Each convertible note had a face value of $0.20 with 7% pa interest and 2-year term.  The convertible 
notes  can  be  converted  at  any  time  prior  to  the  date  of  maturity  at  the  request  of  the  noteholder,  or  they  will 
automatically be redeemed on the maturity. If the noteholders convert the maximum number of convertible notes, 
then 1,850,000 new shares would be issued. This is based on a conversion price of $0.20 and does not account 
for any accrued interest. 

In May 2017, the Company borrowed $180,000 at 10% pa interest for a 2-year term. In June 2017, the Company 
borrowed $200,000 at 7% pa interest for a 2-year term. Both amounts are borrowed from non-related parties.

capital.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 
30 JUNE 2017 

Principal activities 

During the FY2017, the continuing principal activities of the consolidated group consisted of: 

•

•

•

•

mortgage broking services;

financial planning services;

migration services; and

real estate property sale and management services.

Review of operations 

Review of operating results 

During  FY17,  the  Group  generated  revenue  of  $4.30m  (FY16:  $3.39m)  delivering  a  net  loss  of  $1.20m  (FY16: 
loss $1.30m). 

Increased group revenue is mainly from the newly established N1 Realty business as well as increased loan trail 
commission.   

During FY17, N1 Loans (the Group’s mortgage broking business) continued to be the major revenue generator, 
accounting  for  78.22%  of  the  total  revenue  of  the  group.  N1  Realty  started  its  first-year  operation  in  FY17  and 
Sydney Boutique Property was acquired during the year. N1 Realty generated $740,799 in revenue during FY17 
representing  17.21%  of  the  Group’s  total  revenue.  N1  Migration  generated  $174,407  in  revenue  representing 
4.05% of the group’s total revenue. Diversification Revenue (“DR”), being revenue that is not related to residential 
mortgage  broking,  is  growing  in  line  with  the  Company’s  strategic  plan.  Total  DR  during  FY17  was  $1,107,155 
(FY16: $121,056) representing an increase of 815%. 

FY17 has seen the positive results of the N1 Loans PAYG consultant model initiated during FY16 with improved 
client  retention  rates  and  profitability  for  the  business.  As  at  30  June  2017,  87%  of  trail  commissions  were 
retained by N1 Loans compared to 84% for the same period last year.  

Company’s  loan  trail  book  valuation  as  at  30  June  2017  was  $2.20m  (FY2016:  $1.53m).  The  Company 
anticipates increased estimated future trail commissions as a result of the growth of its loan book of $238m from 
$561m  to  $799m,  which  represents  an  increase  of  42.42%  during  FY17.  Among  the  $238m  increase,  $62.6 
million  was  from loan  book acquisition from  Aura  Private Wealth  Pty  Ltd  ACN  158  184  000  and  the  balance of 
175.4 million is from the Company’s organic growth.  

Key features of underlying operating result are summarised below: 

•

•

•

•

Increase in revenue by 27.04% to $4,303,727 (FY16: $3,387,683)

Reduction  in  direct  cost  to  commission-based  brokers  and  referrers,  FY17  $1,090,146  (FY16:
$1,463,949)

Increase in operational expenses which are predominantly expansion expenditures

o

o

Employee cost in FY17 is $3,031,056 (FY16: $1,834,280)

Professional fee in FY17 is $388,319 (FY16: $184,782)

o Rent and Office expenses in FY17 is $672,812 (FY16: $394,871)
o Depreciation and amortisation expenses has increased to $371,106 (FY16: $80,887)

Reduction in finance cost to $68,343 (FY16: $282,873)

During  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2017,  the  Company  used  cash  and  its  assets  in  a  form  readily 
convertible to cash that it received under its initial public offering in a way consistent with its business objectives.  

Review of financial position 

The net assets of the Group have decreased from $5,216,244 as at 30 June 2016 to $4,097,423 as at 30 June 
2017.  Current  financial  liabilities  increased  slightly  by  $4,858  from  $993,352  to  $998,210  during  FY17.  The 
Group’s  working  capital,  being  current  assets  less  current  liabilities,  has  reduced  from  $4,018,691  in  2016  to 
$1,242,468  in  2017,  which  is mainly  due  to  the  various  acquisitions  undertaken  during  FY17  and  growth  of  the 
Company’s  infrastructure  base  in  anticipation  of  business  expansion.  The  Directors  believe  the  Group  is  in  a 
stable financial position to expand and grow its operations. 

Prospects for future financial years 

The Group will continue its successful diversification strategy  initiated during FY17. Being an integrated financial 
and  property  services  firm,  N1  will  ensure  its  consistent  approach  of  growth  via  acquisitions  and  to  continue 
acquiring positive cash flow asset such as rent roll and loan trail book to achieve significant economies of scale.

N1 HOLDINGS LIMITED 
DIRECTORS’ REPORT 
30 JUNE 2017 

The  Company  has  gained  sufficient  capacity  both  in  terms  of  team  capacity  and  infrastructure  capacity  to 
continue growing rent roll cash flow with minimal cost increment to strong marginal product.  

In addition, the Company will keep diversifying into commercial lending, car and equipment finance and financial 
planning via N1 Loans in the coming financial year, and currently have extensive pipeline in commercial lending 
revenue. The Company intends to leverage its vast network of business connections and deepen its engagement 
with the B2B market via various business services.  

with a quarter of revenue being deriving from businesses other than traditional residential mortgage broking, the 
Company expects to continue this momentum via commercial lending, property sales and management as well as 
expansion of its migration business.  The Company possesses the unique strength of creating synergies between 
its complimentary business units - N1 Loans, N1 Realty, N1 Migration and N1 Venture. 

Events after the reporting period 

On 21 July 2017, TACQ International Pty Ltd, a fully owned subsidiary of N1 Holdings Limited was established 
focusing on recruitment business.   

On 15 August 2017, Company entered into an unsecured loan agreement with an individual  lender for $200,000 
at 10% interest only repayment for 2 years. Loan was settled on 1 September 2017. Purpose of the loan is to fund 
potential acquisitions.  

On 7 September 2017, Company received application from an individual investor to acquire $1,000,000 worth of 
Convertible Notes with face value of $0.20 each and 7% pa interest and 2 years term. The Company expects to 
issue the Convertible Notes after releasing its Annual Report. The resultant Convertible Notes will be convertible 
at any time prior to the date of maturity at the request of the Noteholder, or they will automatically be redeemed 
on  the  Maturity.  If  the  Noteholders  convert  the  maximum  number  of  Convertible  Notes,  then  5,000,000  new 
Shares  would  be  issued.  This  is  based  on  a  price  of  $0.20  and  does  not  account  for  any  accrued  interest. 
Expected issue date of the Convertible Notes is 27 September 2017. 

Other  than  events  mentioned  above,  there  has  been  no  matters  or  events  since  the  end  of  the  financial  year 
which may significantly affect the operation of the Group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of 
the Group in the future financial years.

named above) against liabilities for costs and expenses incurred by the defending legal proceedings  arising from 
their conduct while acting in the capacity of directors of the group, other than conduct involving a wilful breach of 
duty  in  relation  to  the  group.  The  premiums  for  the  directors  amounted  to  $17,651.90.  The  group  has  not 
indemnified the auditors.

Remuneration policy 

Remuneration report 

Remuneration policy 

The  remuneration  policy  of  the  Company  has  been  designed  to  align  key  management  personnel  (KMP) 
objectives  with  shareholder  and  business  objectives  by  providing  a  fixed  remuneration  component  and  offering 
specific  long-term  incentives  based  on  key  performance  in  areas  affecting  the  Group’s  financial  results.  The 
Board believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the high-
quality KMP to run and manage the Group, as well as create goal congruence between Directors, executives and 
Shareholders. 

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for KMP of the Group is as follows: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

The remuneration policy is to be developed by the  Board and the Board may seek advice on the policy 
from independent external consultants at its discretion. 

All  KMP  receive  a  base  salary  (which  is  based  on  factors  such  as  length  of  service  and  experience), 
superannuation, fringe benefits options and performance incentives. 

Performance  incentives  are  generally  only  paid  once  and  conditional  on  key  performance  indicators 
(KPIs) having been met. 

Incentives paid in the form of Options or rights are intended to align the interests of the Directors and the 
Company  with  those  of  the  Shareholders.  In  this  regard,  KMP  are  prohibited  from  limiting  the  risk 
attached to those instruments by use of derivatives or other means. 

The  Board  reviews  KMP  packages  annually  by  reference  to  the  Group’s  performance,  executive 
performance and comparable information from industry sectors. 

The  performance  of  KMP  is  measured  against  criteria  agreed  annually  with  each  executive  and  is  based 
predominantly on the forecast growth of the Group’s profits and Shareholders’ value. All bonuses and incentives 
must be linked to predetermined performance criteria. The Board may, however, exercise its discretion in relation 
to  approving  incentives,  bonuses  and  options,  and  can  recommend  changes.  Any  change  must  be  justified  by 
reference to measurable performance criteria. The policy is designed to attract the highest calibre of executives 
and reward them for performance results leading to long-term growth in Shareholder wealth.

N1 HOLDINGS LIMITED 
DIRECTORS’ REPORT 
30 JUNE 2017 

KMP receives, at a minimum, the superannuation guarantee contribution required by law, which is currently 9.5% 
of the individual's ordinary earnings. Superannuation guarantee contribution is capped at maximum concessional 
contribution limit of each financial year. Some individuals, however, may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to 
increase payments towards superannuation.  

The  Board's  policy  is  to  remunerate  non-executive  Directors  at  market  rates  for  time,  commitment  and 
responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the non-executive Directors and reviews their remuneration 
annually,  based  on  market  practice,  duties  and  accountability.  Independent  external  advice  is  sought  when 
required.  Fees  that  can  be  paid  to  a  non-executive  Director  is  contained  in  that  Directors’  consultancy  service 
agreement. 

Remuneration structure 

There  have  been  no  significant  changes  after  the  Company’s  listing  on  ASX.  The  table  below  summarises  the

Revenue of the Group 

Vesting of the awards is 
dependent on absolute 
total Shareholder return 
in addition to continuous 
service vesting 
conditions.  

Performance-based Remuneration 

The KPIs are set annually, with a certain level of consultation with KMP. The measures are specifically tailored to 
the  area  each  individual  involved  is  in  and  has  a  level  of  control  over.  The  KPIs  target  areas  that  the  Board 
believes hold greater potential for Group expansion and profit covering financial and non-financial as well as short 
and  long-term  goals.  The  level  set  for  each  KPI  is  based  on  budgeted  figures  for  the  Group  and  respective 
industry standards. 

Performance in relation to the KPIs is assessed annually, with bonuses being awarded depending on the number 
and  deemed  difficulty  of  the  KPIs  achieved.  Following  the  assessment,  the  KPIs  are  reviewed  by  the 
remuneration committee in light of the desired and actual outcomes, and their efficiency is assessed in relation to 
achieving the Group’s goals and shareholder value, before the KPIs are set for the following year. 

In determining whether or not a KPI has been achieved, the Company bases the assessment on audited figures, 
however,  where  the  KPI  involves  comparison  of  the  Group  or  a  division  within  the  Group  to  the  market, 
independent reports are obtained from other research organisations. 

Relationship between remuneration policy and Company performance 

The  remuneration  policy  has  been  tailored  to  increase  goal  congruence  between  Shareholders,  Directors  and 
executives. Two methods have been applied to achieve this aim, the first being a performance-based bonus (i.e. 
based on KPI), and the second being the issue of options to the majority of Directors and executives to encourage 
the  alignment  of  personal  and  Shareholder  interests.  The  Company  believes  this  policy  has  been  effective  in 
increasing shareholder value over the past years. 

Performance conditions linked to remuneration 

The Group seeks to emphasise reward incentives for results and continued commitment to the Group through the 
provision of various cash bonus reward schemes, specifically the incorporation of incentive payments based on 
the achievement of revenue targets, return on equity ratios, and continued employment with the Group.

N1 HOLDINGS LIMITED 
DIRECTORS’ REPORT 
30 JUNE 2017 

The performance-related proportions of remuneration (based on KPI targets) are included in the following table. 
The objective of the reward schemes is to both reinforce the short and long-term goals of the Group and provide a 
common  interest  between  Management  and  Shareholders.  There  has  been  no  alteration  to  the  terms  of  the 
bonuses paid since the grant date. 

The  satisfaction  of  the  performance  conditions  is  based  on  a  review  of  the  audited  financial  statements  of  the 
Group and publicly available market indices and as such these figures reduce any risk of contention relating to 
payment eligibility. The Board does not believe that performance conditions should include a comparison with any 
other measures or factors external to the Group at this time.  

The performance-based bonus schedule is detailed below, which has only available to executive Directors since 1 
July 2016. No bonuses were paid to executive Directors during FY2017.

N1 HOLDINGS LIMITED 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
SECTION 1: KEY PERFORMANCE METRICS 
30 JUNE 2017 

Revenue recognition and measurement 
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any 
trade  discounts  and  volume  rebates  allowed.  When  the  inflow  of  consideration  is  deferred  it  is  treated  as  the 
provision  of  financing and is discounted at  a  rate of  interest  that  is  generally  accepted in  the market  for  similar 
arrangements.  The  difference  between  the  amount  initially  recognised  and  the  amount  ultimately  received  is 
interest revenue。 

Origination commission 

(i) 
The  Group  provides  loan  origination  services  and  receives  origination  commission  on  the  settlement  of  loans. 
Origination commission is recognised upon the loan being settled and measured at fair value of the commission 
to be received.  

Trailing commissions 

(ii) 
The  Group  receives  trailing  commissions  from  lenders  on  loans  they  have  settled  that  were  originated  by  the 
Group.  The  trailing  commissions  are  received  over  the  life  of  the  loans  based  on  the  individual  loan  balance 
outstanding. On initial recognition, trailing commission revenue and receivables are recognised at fair value, being 
the expected future trailing commission receivables discounted to their net present value.  

Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  the  trailing  commission  assets  are  measured  at  amortised  cost.  The  carrying 
amount of the trailing commission asset is adjusted to reflect net present value of revised estimated future cash 
flows  at  the  original  effective  interest  rate.  The  resulting  adjustment is  recognised  as  income  or expense  in  the 
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 

(iii)  Real estate service 

The  Group  receives  commissions  and  fees  derived  from  real  estate  sales.  They  are  recognised  at  the  time  of 
unconditional  exchange  of  contracts  between  vendors  and  purchasers.  The  Group  also  receive  property 
management  fees  which  are  based  on  a  percentage  of  rental  collected  on  behalf  the  landlords.  Income  is 
recognised in the period the service has been rendered. 

(iv)  Render of other service (including migration service) 
Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. 
For fixed-price services, revenue is recognised based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting 
period as a proportion of the total services to be provided. 
Estimates of revenues, costs or extent of progress toward completion are revised if circumstances change. Any 
resulting  increases  or  decreases  in  estimated  revenues  or  costs  are  reflected  in  profit  or  loss  in  the  period  in 
which the circumstances that give rise to the revision become known by management. 

Critical accounting estimates and judgements – NPV of trailing commission receivable  

The Group receives trailing commissions from lenders on settled loans over the life of the loan based 
on the loan book balance outstanding. The Group is entitled to the trailing commissions without having 
to perform further services. The Group also makes trailing commission payments to commission based 
consultants  when  trailing  commission  is  received  from  lenders.  The  fair  value  of  trailing  commission 
receivable from lenders and the corresponding payable to commission based consultants is determined 
by using a discounted cash flow valuation. These calculations require the use of assumptions which are 
determined  by  management  with  the  assistance  of  external  valuation  specialist.  The  overall  loan 
balance run off rate of the Group is assessed at 18.7% in FY17 (FY16: 27%). 

New accounting standards for application in future periods  

AASB 15: revenue from Contracts with customers (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on 
or after 1 January 2018, as deferred by AASB 2015-8: Amendments to Australian accounting standards 
– effective Date of AASB 15).  

When  effective,  this  standard  will  replace  the  current  accounting  requirements  applicable  to  revenue 
with a single, principles-based model. Except for a limited number of exceptions, including leases, the 
new  revenue  model  in  AASB  15  will  apply  to  all  contracts  with  customers  as  well  as  non-monetary 
exchanges between entities in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers and potential 
customers.  The  core  principle  of  the  standard  is  that  an  entity  will  recognise  revenue  to  depict  the 
transfer  of  promised  goods  or  services  to  customers  in  an  amount  that  reflects  the  consideration  to

N1 HOLDINGS LIMITED 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
SECTION 1: KEY PERFORMANCE METRICS 
30 JUNE 2017 

which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. To achieve this objective, 
AASB 15 provided the following five-step process: 

● 

● 

Identify the contract(s) with a customer; 

Identify the performance obligations in the contract(s); 

●  Determine the transaction price; 

●  Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and  

●  Recognise revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied.  

The transitional provisions of this standard permit an entity to either: restate the contracts that existed in 
each prior period presented per AASB 108: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and 
Errors  (subject  to  certain  practical  expedients  in  AASB  15);  or  recognise  the  cumulative  effect  of 
retrospective  application  to  incomplete  contracts  on  the  date  of  initial  application.  there  are  also 
enhanced disclosure requirements regarding revenue. The Group is still in the process of assessing the 
impact of the changes.

Plant and equipment is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment. In the 
event  that  the  carrying  amount  of  plant  and  equipment  is  greater  than  the  estimated  recoverable  amount,  the 
carrying  amount  is  written  down  immediately  to  the  estimated  recoverable  amount.  Impairment  losses  are 
recognised in profit or loss. 

Depreciation 
The  depreciable  amount  of  all  plant  and  equipment  and  is  depreciated  on  a  diminishing  basis  over  the  asset’s 
useful life commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated 
over  the  shorter  of  either  the  unexpired  period  of  the  lease  or  the  estimated  useful  lives  of  the  improvements. 
Currently the depreciation rate is in the range of 10% to 20%. 

Movements in Carrying amounts

The  goodwill  resulted  from  the  Group’s  acquisition  of  Sydney  Boutique  Property  Pty  Ltd.  The  details  of  the 
transaction and related calculation is disclosed in note 4.1. The excess of the consideration transferred, amount of 
any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity, and acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in 
the  acquired  entity  over  the  fair  value  of  the  net  identifiable  assets  acquired  is  recorded  as  goodwill.  If  those 
amounts  are  less  than  the  fair  value  of  the  net  identifiable  assets  of  the  subsidiary  acquired,  the  difference  is 
recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.  

Goodwill  is  not  amortised  but  it  is  tested  for  impairment  annually,  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in 
circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.  

Goodwill  is  allocated  to  cash-generating  units  for  the  purpose  of  impairment  testing.  The  allocation  is  made  to 
those  cash-generating  units  or  groups  of  cash-generating  units  that  are  expected  to  benefit  from  the  business 
combination  in  which  the  goodwill  arose.  The  units  or  groups of  units  are identified at the  lowest  level  at  which 
goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, being the operating segments (note 1.2). 

Critical accounting estimates and Judgements – Key assumptions used for value-in-use 
calculations 

The  Group  tests  whether  goodwill  has  suffered  any  impairment  on  an  annual  basis.  The  recoverable 
amount of a cash generating unit (CGU) is determined based on value-in-use calculations which require 
the  use  of  assumptions.  The  calculations  use  cash  flow  projections  based  on  financial  budgets 
approved  by  management  covering  a  three-year  period  and  extrapolated  to  five  years.  The  following 
table  sets  out  the  key  assumptions  for  the  impairment  test  of  the  goodwill.  The  goodwill  balance  at 
reporting date only relates real estate service segment.  

Growth rate: 3% 

Growth rate is based on management estimated inflation rate.  

Pre-tax discount rate: 10% 

Terminal value:  

Pre-tax discount rate reflects the specific risks relating to the real 
estate agency industry in Australia. 
Terminal value is based on third year budgeted net cash flow, pre-
tax discount rate of 10% and growth rate at 3%.

Clawback 
Provision for clawback represents the estimate of commission to be clawed back by the lenders after loans are 
terminated before 24 months.  

Critical accounting estimates and Judgements - Clawback Receivable and Provision 

There is potential for origination commissions to be clawed back by lenders after loans have settled.  In 
the  event  a  lender  claws  back  the  commission,  a  corresponding  clawback  will  be  deducted  from  the 
authorised brokers contracted by the Group where the clawback relates to a broker derived borrower. 
As  a  result,  the  Group  assess  the  probability  of  the  clawbacks  and  determines  both  provision  for 
clawbacks and clawback receivable from agents at each reporting date. The provision is based on the 
historical record of actual clawback and recovery. The probability used in estimate of the clawbacks is 
11.35% (2016: 16.70%). 

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.  

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.  The 
probability of long service leave being taken is based on historical data.

On  30  June  2017,  the  Company  issued  511,823  ordinary  shares  at  $0.20  per  share  (face  value)  to  two  senior 
managers  at  N1  Realty  Pty  Ltd  in  lieu  of  their  service  remuneration.  The  market  value  of  the  shares  issued  is 
$63,977 in accordance with the share price on the grant date 30 June 2017. 
Ordinary Shareholders participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding-up of the parent entity in proportion 
to the number of shares held. At the  shareholders'  meeting, each ordinary  share is entitled to one vote when a 
poll is called; otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.  

Capital management 
Management  controls  the  capital  of  the  Group  in  order  to  maintain  a  sustainable  debt  to  equity  ratio,  generate 
long-term shareholder value and ensure that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.  
The  Group’s  debt  and  capital  include  ordinary  share  capital,  convertible  notes  and  other  financial  liabilities, 
supported by financial assets.  
The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. 
Management  effectively  manages  the  Group’s capital  by  assessing  the  Group’s  financial risks  and  adjusting its 
capital  structure  in  response  to  changes  in  these  risks  and  in  the  market.  These  responses  include  the 
management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues.  
There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Group since the 
prior year. No debt has been retired during the current year.

3.2  Share-based payments 
The group operates an employee share and option plan. 
Share-based payments to employees are remeasured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortised 
over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are remeasured at the fair value of goods or 
services  received  or  the  fair  value  of  the  equity  instruments  issued,  if  it  is  determined  that  the  fair  value  of  the 
goods  or  services  cannot  be  reliably  measured,  and  are  recorded  at  the  date  that  the  goods  or  services  are 
received.  The  corresponding  amount  is  recorded  to  the  option  reserve.  The  fair  value  of  options  is  determined 
using the binomial approximation and Black Scholes valuation methodology. The number of  shares and options 
expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for 
services  received  as  consideration  for  the  equity  instruments  granted  is  based  on  the  number  of  equity 
instruments that eventually vest.

Employee Option Plan 

(a) 
The establishment of the Employee Option Plan was approved by the board of directors in February 2017. The 
Employee Option Plan is designed to provide long-term incentives for employees (including executive directors) to 
deliver long-term shareholder returns. Under the plan, participants are granted Options which only vest if certain 
performance  standards  are  met.  Participation  in  the  plan  is  at  the  board’s  discretion  and  no  individual  has  a 
contractual  right  to  participate  in  the  plan  or  to  receive  any  guaranteed  benefits.  Once  Options  are  vested,  the 
Options remain exercisable for a period of two years. 
Options are granted under the plan for no consideration and carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable, 
each Option is convertible into one ordinary Share.

Net debt 
Financial instruments – accounting principles

3.3 
(a)
Recognition and initial measurement 
Financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  recognised  when  the  entity  becomes  a  party  to  the  contractual 
provisions  to  the  instrument.  For  financial  assets,  this  is  equivalent  to  the  date  that  the  entity  commits  itself  to 
either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted). 
Financial instruments  are initially  measured  at  fair  value plus  transactions costs  except where  the instrument  is 
classified  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  in  which  case  transaction  costs  are  expensed  to  profit  or  loss 
immediately. 

Classification and subsequent measurement 
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest method, 
or cost. 
Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial 
recognition  less  principal  repayments  and  any  reduction  for  impairment,  and  adjusted  for  any  cumulative 
amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective 
interest method. 
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and 
is  equivalent  to  the  rate  that  discounts  estimated  future  cash  payments  or  receipts  (including  fees,  transaction 
costs  and  other  premiums  or  discounts)  over  the  expected  life  (or  when  this  cannot  be  reliably  predicted,  the 
contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. 
Revisions  to  expected  future  net  cash  flows  will  necessitate  an  adjustment  to  the  carrying  amount  with  a 
consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss. 

Impairment 
A  financial  asset  (or  a  group  of  financial  assets)  is  deemed  to  be  impaired  if,  and  only  if,  there  is  objective 
evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events (a loss event) having occurred, which has an impact on 
the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset(s).  
In  the  case  of  available-for-sale  financial  assets,  a  significant  or  prolonged  decline  in  the  market  value  of  the 
instrument is considered to constitute a loss event. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss immediately. 
Also, any cumulative decline in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified into 
profit or loss at this point.  
In the case of financial assets carried at amortised cost, loss events may include: indications that the debtors or a 
group  of  debtors  are  experiencing  significant  financial  difficulty,  default  or  delinquency  in  interest  or  principal 
payments; indications that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; and changes in arrears or 
economic conditions that correlate with defaults.  
For financial assets carried at amortised cost (including loans and receivables), a separate allowance account is 
used to reduce the carrying amount of financial assets impaired by credit losses. After having taken all possible 
measures of recovery, if Management establishes that the carrying amount cannot be recovered by any means, 
at  that  point  the  written-off  amounts  are  charged  to  the  allowance  account  or  the  carrying  amount  of  impaired 
financial assets is reduced directly if no impairment amount was previously recognised in the allowance account.  
When the terms of financial assets that would otherwise have been past due or impaired have been renegotiated, 
the Group recognises the impairment for such financial assets by taking into account the original terms as if the 
terms have not been renegotiated so that the loss events that have occurred are duly considered.  

Derecognition 
Financial  assets  are  derecognised  when  the  contractual  rights  to  receipt  of  cash  flows  expire  or  the  asset  is 
transferred to another party where by the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks 
and  benefits  associated  with  the  asset.  Financial  liabilities  are  derecognised  when  the  related  obligations  are 
discharged,  cancelled  or  have  expired.  The  difference  between  the  carrying  amount  of  the  financial  liability 
extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-
cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

Loans and receivables 
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted 
in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 
Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial asset is 
derecognised. 

Available-for-sale investments 
Available-for-sale  investments  are  non-derivative  financial  assets  that  are  either  not  capable  of  being  classified 
into other categories of financial assets due to their nature or they are designated as such by management. They 
comprise  investments  in  the  equity  of  other  entities  where  there  is  neither  a  fixed  maturity  nor  fixed  or 
determinable payments. 
They  are  subsequently  measured  at  fair  value  with  any  re-measurements  other  than  impairment  losses  and 
foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income. When  the  financial  asset  is  de 
recognised,  the  cumulative  gain  or  loss  pertaining  to  that  asset  previously  recognised  in  other  comprehensive 
income is reclassified into profit or loss.

SECTION 3: GROUP’S CAPITAL AND RISKS 
30 JUNE 2017 

During the year, N1 Holding Limited issued 1.85 million unlisted convertible notes in exchange of a cost fund of 
$370,000.  The  holders  of  the  convertible  notes  may  choose  to  convert  the  notes  to  shares  in  the  Company  at 
$0.20 per share at any time before the maturity date (12 May 2019). 
The convertible debt in the prior year was originally due to be repaid in April 2016. As a result of successful IPO of 
the  Group,  the  convertible  notes  were  converted  through  issuance  of  6,043,750  shares  of  N1  Holdings  Limited 
according to the Secured Convertible Note Deed Poll dated 14 April 2015.  

iii) The bank loan was drawn down from National Australia Bank in Oct 2016. The repayment term of the loan is 5 
years  and  the  interest  is  5.415%  per  annum  with  principal  and  interest  repayment  in  accordance  with  the  loan 
agreement.  The  loan  is  secured  by  the  Sydney  Boutique  Property  rent  roll.  Outstanding  loan  balance  as  at  30 
June 2017 is $866,664.

Specific financial risk exposures and management 
The main risks the Group are exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market 
risk  consisting  of  interest  rate  risk  and  foreign  exchange  risk.  Financial  risks  are  identified,  measured  and 
managed  in  accordance  with  the  Group’s  policies  and  risk  objectives.  The  Company  has  a  risk  governance 
framework which is reviewed and updated by the Board constantly. There have been no substantive changes in 
the  types  of  risks  the  Group  is  exposed  to,  how  these  risks  arise,  or  the  Board’s  objectives,  policies  and 
processes for managing or measuring the risks from the previous period. 

a. 

Credit risk 

Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of 
contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group. 
Credit  risk  is  managed  through  the  maintenance  of  procedures  (such  as  the  utilisation  of  systems  for  the 
approval, granting and renewal of credit limits, regular monitoring of exposures against such limits and monitoring 
of the financial stability of significant customers and counterparties), ensuring to the maximum extent possible that 
customers  and  counter  parties  to  transactions  are  of  sound  credit  worthiness.  Such  monitoring  is  used  in

assessing receivables for impairment. Credit terms are generally not more than 60 days from the invoice date.  

Credit risk exposures 
The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at the end of the reporting period, is 
the  carrying  amount  and  classification  of  those  financial  assets  (net  of  any  provisions)  as  presented  in  the 
statement of financial position.  
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with any single counterparty or Group of counterparties. 
However, on a geographic basis, the Group has significant credit risk exposures to Australia given the substantial 
operations in those regions. Details with respect to credit risk of trade and other receivables is provided in Note 2.  
Trade  and  other  receivables  that  are  neither  past  due  or  impaired  are  considered  to  be  of  high  credit  quality. 
Aggregates of such amounts are as detailed at Note 2.2.  
Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the Board. All the Group’s 
cash assets are deposited with Australian major banks and their credit ratings are between BBB+  to AA- based 
on Standard & Poor.   
The majority of outstanding receivables are commissions (including fair value of future trailing commissions) owed 
from Finsure Finance and Insurance Pty Ltd ABN 72 068 153 926 (Finsure), Accountable Financial Solutions Pty 
Ltd  ABN  36  146  520  390  (Accountable  Financial  Solutions)  and  lenders  who  make  commission  payments 
directly  to  the  Group.  Finsure  is  an aggregator  of  retailing  loan  brokers and  acts as  an  intermedia  between  the 
Group and the lenders (financial institutions) to pass through the commission paid by those lenders to the Group. 
Accountable  Financial  Solutions  is  a  dealer  group  who  pays  financial  planning  commissions  to  the  Group  on 
behalf  of  financial  institutions.  The  financial  institutions  which  are  owing  commissions  to  the  Group  through 
Finsure and Accountable Financial Solutions are rated between B and AA+. 

b. 

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise 
meeting its obligations related  to financial liabilities.  The Group managed this risk through maintaining sufficient 
liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents and borrowing facilities). 
The table below reflects an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities.  Cash flows realised 
from financial assets reflect Management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may therefore 
differ from that disclosed.

Interest rate risk 
Exposure  to  interest  rate  risk  arises  on  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  recognised  at  the  end  of  the 
reporting period where by a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed 
rate financial instruments. The financial instruments that primarily expose the Group to interest rate risk to cash 
and cash equivalents.

Sensitivity Analysis: On the reporting date, the change in interest rate has no impact due to the deposit is nil. 

Foreign currency risk 
The Group held cash assets dominated in foreign currency from time to time. At the reporting date, the company 
held RMB 18,111 (2016: US$738,000). The movement in the exchange rate is not expected to have significant 
impact on the value of foreign currency cash assets. 

Fair value measurement  

3.5 
AASB  13:  Fair  value  measurement  requires  the  disclosure  of  fair  value  information  by  level  of  the  fair  value 
hierarchy, which categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level 
that an input which is significant to the measurement can be categorised into as follows: 

Level 1 

Level 2 

Level 3 

Measurements based on quoted prices 
(unadjusted) in active markets for 
identical assets or liabilities that the 
entity can access at the measurement 
date. 

Measurements based on inputs 
other than quoted prices included 
in Level 1 that are observable for 
the asset or liability, either directly 
or indirectly. 

Measurements based on 
unobservable inputs for the 
asset or liability. 

Fair value of assets and liabilities 

The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, 
depending on the requirements of the applicable accounting standard. 

Fair value is the price the  Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an 
orderly  (i.e.  Unforced)  transaction  between  independent,  knowledgeable  and  willing  market  participants  at  the 
measurement date. 

As fair value is a market- based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to 
determine  fair  value.  Adjustments  to  market  values  may  be  made  having  regard  to  the  characteristics  of  the 
specific  asset  or  liability.  The  fair  values  of  assets  and  liabilities  that  are  not  traded  in  an  active  market  are 
determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, 
the use of observable market data. 

To    the  extent possible,  market  information  is  extracted  from  either  the principal  market for  the asset  or  liability 
(i.e. the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a 
market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (i.e. the market 
that  maximises  the  receipts  from the  sale  of  the  asset or minimises  the  payments made to  transfer  the  liability, 
after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs). 

For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant’s ability to use 
the  asset  in  its  highest  and  best  use  or  to  sell  it  to  another  market  participant  that  would  use  the  asset  in  its 
highest and best use. 

The  fair  value  of  liabilities  and  the  entity’s  own  equity  instruments  (excluding  those  related  to  share-based 
payment  arrangements)  maybe  valued,  where  there  is  no  observable  market  price  in  relation  to  the  transfer  of 
such  financial  instruments,  by  reference  to  observable  market  information  where  such  instruments  are  held  as 
assets. Where this information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, are 
detailed in the respective note to the financial statements. 

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  
The  Group  does  not  have  any  assets  or  liabilities  recognised  and  subsequently  measured  at  fair  value  on  a 
recurring basis.  

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value (but fair value disclosures 
are required) 
Future trailing commission receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised 
cost.  The  carrying  amount  of  the  trailing  commission  asset  is  adjusted  to  reflect  net  present  value  of  revised 
estimated  future  cash  flows  at  the  original  effective  interest  rate.  The  resulting  adjustment  is  recognised  as 
income or expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The overall 
loan balance run off rate of the Group is assessed at 18.7% in FY17 (FY16: 27%).

Business combinations 
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses.  
A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving 
entities or businesses under common control. The business combination will be accounted for from the date that 
control  is  obtained,  at  which  point  the  fair  value  of  the  identifiable  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  (including 
contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to certain limited exemptions).  
When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a 
contingent consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration 
classified  as equity  is  not  remeasured  and  its  subsequent  settlement is accounted  for  within  equity.  Contingent 
consideration  is  classified  as  an  asset  or  liability  and  is  remeasured  each  reporting  period  to  fair  value, 
recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the change in value can be identified as existing at 
the acquisition date.  
All transaction costs incurred in relation to business combinations, other than those associated with the issue of a 
financial instrument, are recognised as expenses in profit or loss when incurred.  
The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
SECTION 5: OTHER DISCLOSURES 
30 JUNE 2017 

Section 5: Other disclosures 

5.1 Basis of preparation and compliance 

Basis of preparation 
These  general  purpose  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act,  the 
Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  of  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  and  the 
International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  as  issued  by  the  International  Accounting  Standards  Board.  The 
Group  is  a  for-profit  entity  for  financial  reporting  purposes  under  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards.  Material 
accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been 
consistently applied unless stated otherwise. The functional presentation currency is Australian dollars rounded to 
the nearest dollar. 
Except  for  cash  flow  information,  the  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on  an  accruals  basis  and  are 
based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current 
assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.  

Principles of consolidation

(a)
The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the Company and all 
of the subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities that the Company controls. The Company controls an entity when it is 
exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those 
returns through its power over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 4.2.  
The  assets,  liabilities  and  results  of  all  subsidiaries  are  fully  consolidated  into  the  financial  statements  of  the 
Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued 
from  the  date  that  control  ceases.  Inter-company  transactions,  balances  and  unrealised  gains  or  losses  on 
transactions between Group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have 
been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by 
the Group.  

Impairment of assets

(b)
At  the  end  of  each  reporting  period,  the  Group  assesses  whether  there  is  any  indication  that  an  asset  may  be 
impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information. If such an 
indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, 
being the higher of the asset’ s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use, to the asset’ s carrying amount. 
Any  excess  of  the  asset’  s  carrying  amount  over  its  recoverable  amount  is  recognised  immediately  in  profit  or 
loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another standard (e.g. in accordance 
with the revaluation model in AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment). Any impairment loss of revalued asset 
is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other standard.  
Where  it  is  not  possible  to  estimate  the  recoverable  amount  of  an  individual  asset,  the  Group  estimates  the 
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.  
Impairment  testing is performed  annually  for intangible assets  with  indefinite  lives  and intangible assets  not  yet 
available for use.  

(c)

Foreign currency transactions and balances

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 Company’s functional currency.  

Transaction 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, except where 
deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.  
Exchange  differences  arising  on  the  translation  of  non-monetary  items  are  recognised  directly  in  other 
comprehensive  income  to  the  maximum  extent  that  the  underlying  gain  or  loss  can  be  recognised  in  other 
comprehensive income, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the profit or loss.

Goods and services tax (GST) 

(d) 
Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the  amount  of  GST,  except  where  the  amount  of  GST 
incurred is not recoverable from the ATO.  Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST 
receivable  or  payable.  The  net  amount  of  GST  recoverable from,  or payable  to,  the  ATO  is included  with other 
receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. 
Cash  flows  are  presented  on  a  gross  basis.  The  GST  components  of  cash  flows  arising  from  investing  or 
financing  activities  which  are  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  ATO  are  presented  as  operating  cash  flows 
included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.  

Retirement benefit obligations  

(e) 
All employees of the Group other than those that receive defined benefit entitlements receive defined contribution 
superannuation entitlements, for which the Group pays the fixed superannuation guarantee contribution (currently 
9.5%  of  the  employee’s  average  ordinary  salary)  to  the  employee’s  superannuation  fund  of  choice.  All 
contributions in respect of employees’ defined contribution entitlements are recognised as an expense when they 
become payable. The Group’ s obligation with respect to employees’ defined contribution entitlements is limited to 
its  obligations  for  any  unpaid  superannuation  guarantee  contributions  at  the  end  of  the  reporting  period.  All 
obligations  for  unpaid  superannuation  guarantee  contributions  are  remeasured  at  the  (undiscounted)  amounts 
expected  to  be  paid  when  the  obligation  is  settled  and  are  presented  as  current  liabilities  in  the  Group’  s 
statement of financial position. 

Comparative figures  

(f) 
When required by accounting standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in 
presentation for the current financial year.  
Where the Group retrospectively applies an accounting policy, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies 
items  in  its  financial  statements,  an  additional  (third)  statement  of  financial  position  as  at  the  beginning  of  the 
preceding period in addition to the minimum comparative financial statement is presented.  

New and amended accounting policies adopted by the Group  

(g) 
The  Group has  adopted  all  of  the  new  and  revised  standards and  interpretations,  including  amendments  to  the 
existing  standards  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  (the  AASB)  that  are  relevant  to  their 
operation and effective for the current reporting period. The adoption of these amendments and new standards 
has  not  resulted  in  any  significant  changes  to  the  Group’s  accounting  policies  or  any  significant  effect  on  the 
measurement or disclosure of the amounts reported for the current or prior reporting period.  
The impact of other new accounting standards for application in future periods has been disclosed in the relevant 
section. 

Financial instruments – New accounting standards for application in future periods  

AASB  9:  Financial  instruments  and  associated  amending  standards  (applicable  to  annual  reporting 
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018).  

The standard will be applicable retrospectively (subject to the provisions on hedge accounting outlined 
below)  and  includes  revised  requirements  for  the  classification  and  measurement  of  financial 
instruments,  revised  recognition  and  de  recognition  requirements  for  financial  instruments  and 
simplified requirements for hedge accounting.  

The  key  changes  that  may  affect  the  Group  on  initial  application  include  certain  simplifications  to  the 
classification  of  financial  assets,  simplifications  to  the  accounting  of  embedded  derivatives,  upfront 
accounting  for  expected  credit  loss,  and  their  revocable  election  to  recognise  gains  and  losses  on 
investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. AASB 9 
also introduces a new model for hedge accounting that will allow greater flexibility in the ability to hedge 
risk, particularly with respect to hedges of non-financial items.  

Should the entity elect to change its hedge policies in line with the new hedge accounting requirements 
of the standard, the application of such accounting would be largely prospective.  

The  directors  anticipate  that  the  adoption  of  AASB  9  will  have  no  significant  impact  on  the  Group’s 
financial instruments.

When  effective,  this  standard will  replace  the current  accounting  requirements  applicable  to  leases in 
AASB 117: Leases and related interpretations. AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model 
that eliminates the requirement for leases to be classified as operating or finance leases.  

The main changes introduced by the new standard include:  

● 

● 

● 

● 

● 

recognition  of  a  right-to-use  asset  and  liability  for  all  leases  (excluding  short-term  leases  with 
less than 12 months of tenure and leases relating to low-value assets); 
depreciation of right-to-use assets in line with AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment in profit 
or loss and unwinding of the liability in principal and interest components; 
 variable  lease  payments  that  depend  on  an  index  or  a  rate  are  included  in  the  initial 
measurement of the lease liability using the index or rate at the commencement date; 
by  applying  a  practical  expedient,  a  lessee  is  permitted  to  elect  not  to  separate  non-  lease 
components and instead account for all components as a lease; and  
Additional disclosure requirements.

Taxation 

Income Tax

(a)
The income tax expense (income) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax 
expense (income).  
Current income tax expense (income) charged to profit or loss is the tax payable (recoverable) on taxable income 
(loss).  Current tax  liabilities  (assets) are measured  at  the  amounts expected to  be  paid  to  (recovered  from)  the 
relevant taxation authority.  
Deferred  income  tax  expense  (income)  reflects  movements  in  deferred  tax  asset  and  deferred  tax  liability 
balances during the year as well as unused tax losses.  
Current  and  deferred  income  tax  expense  (income)  is  charged  or  credited  outside  profit  or  loss  when  the  tax 
relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss.  
Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or 
liability, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.  
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the 
asset is realized or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which Management 
expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.  
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that 
it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be 
utilised.   
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, deferred tax assets and liabilities are 
not  recognised  where  the  timing  of  the  reversal  of  the  temporary  difference  can  be  controlled  and  it  is  not 
probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.  

Tax expense 

(i)

The components of tax expense (income) comprise:

Current tax

Deferred tax
Deferred tax for tax losses under-recognised in prior year

(ii)

The prima facie tax on profit from ordinary activities before
income tax is reconciled to income tax as follows:

Profit/(loss) before income tax

At 27.5% (2016:30%)

Tax effect of:

Permanent differences

Net deferred tax as a result of IPO impact

Tax to equity

Effect of change in income tax rate

N1 HOLDINGS LIMITED 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
SECTION 5: OTHER DISCLOSURES 
30 JUNE 2017 

Critical accounting estimates and Judgements - Taxation 

The  income  tax  expense  or  credit  for  the  period  is  the  tax  payable  on  the  current  period’s  taxable 
income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred 
tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.  

The  current  income  tax  charge  is  calculated  on  the  basis  of  the  tax  laws  enacted  or  substantively 
enacted  at  the  end  of  the  reporting  period.  Management  periodically  evaluates  positions  taken  in  tax 
returns  with  respect  to  situations  in  which  applicable  tax  regulation  is  subject  to  interpretation.  It 
establishes  provisions  where  appropriate  on  the  basis  of  amounts  expected  to  be  paid  to  the  tax 
authorities. 

Deferred  income  tax  is  provided  in  full,  using  the  liability  method,  on  temporary  differences  arising 
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial 
statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition 
of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset 
or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects 
neither  accounting  nor  taxable  profit  or  loss.  Deferred  income  tax  is  determined  using  tax  rates  (and 
laws)  that  have  been  enacted  or  substantially  enacted  by  the  end  of  the  reporting  period  and  are 
expected  to  apply  when  the  related  deferred  income  tax  asset  is  realised  or  the  deferred  income  tax 
liability is settled. 

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

5.6 

Events after the reporting period 

On 21 July 2017, TACQ International Pty Ltd, a fully owned subsidiary  of N1 Holdings Limited was established 
focusing on recruitment business.   

On 15 August 2017, Company entered into an unsecured loan agreement with an  individual lender for $200,000 
at 10% interest only repayment for 2 years. Loan was settled on 1 September 2017. Purpose of the loan is to fund 
potential acquisitions.  

On 7 September 2017, Company received application from an individual investor to acquire $1,000,000 worth of 
Convertible Notes with face value of $0.20 each and 7% pa interest and 2 years term. The Company expects to 
issue the Convertible Notes after releasing its Annual Report. The resultant Convertible Notes will be convertible 
at any time prior to the date of maturity at the request of the Noteholder, or they will automatically be redeemed 
on  the  Maturity.  If  the  Noteholders  convert  the  maximum  number  of  Convertible  Notes,  then  5,000,000  new 
Shares  would  be  issued.  This  is  based  on  a  price  of  $0.20  and  does  not  account  for  any  accrued  interest. 
Expected issue date of the Convertible Notes is 27 September 2017. 

Other  than  above  mentioned  events,  there  has  been  no  matters  or  events  since  the  end  of  the  financial  year 
which may significantly affect the operation of the Group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of 
the Group in the future financial years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT N1 HOLDINGS LIMITED

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of N1 Holdings Limited. (the Company and its subsidiaries (the 
Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2017, the 
consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity 
and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial 
statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and 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 2017 and of its financial
performance for the year then ended; and

(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under 
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial 
Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor 
independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the 
Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional 
Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also 
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been 
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the 
time of this auditor’s report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters 

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

Key Audit Matter

How our Audit Addressed the Key Audit 
Matter

Valuation of Trail Commission – Refer to Note 2.2

The Group has significant trail commission assets
that are calculated using modelling techniques 
that involve the use of forward-looking 
assumptions and risk adjustments. 

Management have used judgement to establish 
the methodology, assumptions and adjustments
used in the model, as described in Notes 2.6 and 
3.5.  

This matter is a key audit matter because of the 
complexity and subjectivity involved in performing 
the valuation.

We involved our technical specialists to assess 
the appropriateness of the model used for the
valuation.

We performed a retrospective analysis of the 
Group’s past estimates against actual 
performance and challenged the current period 
forecasts in areas where previous forecasts were 
not achieved and/or where future uncertainty is 
greater or volatility is expected.

We challenged the key assumptions that support
the valuation of the trail commission assets, using 
professional scepticism, as follows: 



The discount rate was assessed for
consistency within the context of the valuation
and based on our knowledge of the Group
and the industry. The lapse rate was
compared to industry data and historical data
for the Group;

Valuation of Clawback Provision – Refer to Note 2.6

Clawbacks arise when loans are cancelled in the 
first two years, the value being dependent on the 
timing of cancellation. Management have raised a 
provision for these clawbacks, using judgement to
estimate the timing and number of cancellations
expected, as described in Note 2.6. 

This matter is a key audit matter because of the 
risk that the provision could be misstated due to a 
change in volume and timing of clawbacks.

We evaluated the assumptions used by 
management when calculating the provision by:

 Comparing to historical data for the Group;
 Understanding trends in the industry and
challenging management where the
assumptions appeared to be inconsistent; and
Performing sensitivity analysis



We performed a retrospective analysis of the 
Group’s past estimates against actual 
performance and challenged the current period 
forecasts in areas where previous forecasts were 
not achieved and/or where future uncertainty is 
greater or volatility is expected.

We involved our technical specialists for 
assessing the appropriateness of the model used 
in the calculation.

Key Audit Matter

How our Audit Addressed the Key Audit 
Matter

Business Acquisitions – Refer to Note 4.1

Management were required to assess the fair 
value of the assets and liabilities acquired for the 
new business acquired. The intangible assets 
then need to be assessed for useful life.

This matter is a key audit matter because of the 
complexity and subjectivity involved in performing 
the fair value, and assessing useful lives of the 
assets.

We assessed the key assumptions used by 
management for determining fair value against 
industry known data.

In addition we have ensured that the useful life is 
consistent with current activity.  

Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the 
information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017, but does not 
include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not 
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this 
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a 
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the 
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to 
fraud or error.

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

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is 
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that 
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that 
an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material 
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material

if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic 
decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing 
and Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx. This description 
forms part of our auditor’s report.
