does not occur without an 
underlying effective business 
organisation. The Nearmap team 
is the foundation upon which we 
can achieve our goals. We now 
have over 120 employees in two 
countries who are working tirelessly 
to position us for continued growth. 
I would like to take this opportunity 
to thank them for their efforts 
during the year.

I would also like to thank my 
Executive team for the leadership 
and direction which they have 
provided. Since I commenced in the 
role as Managing Director & CEO, 
we have strengthened the executive 
team with key hires and promotions. 
It is a team that can scale with the 
growth of Nearmap.

Supporting all of this is a keen focus 
across the company on building 
shareholder value. Nearmap has 
a strong balance sheet, a track 
record of growth and demonstrated 
the operational leverage of our 
business model. We invest in 
initiatives that deliver top line 
growth, that enhance our industry

disciplined in cost management.

Niagara Falls, New York, United States – April 2016.The fi nancial year 2016 has been 
a transformational year for Nearmap. 
We have demonstrated the success 
of our business model and shown 
that we are a growth company with 
a long runway. We are already the 
leader in the Australian market 
and now a disruptor in the US 
market. We have built our team 
to allow us to scale and continued 
our investment in technology 
to extend our lead. In addition, 
we have started to build our fi rst 
strategic partnerships which will 
broaden our customer reach and 
add value to location content that 
we provide.

As we look forward we see the 
continued growth of Nearmap.
Our business model and leadership 
in Australia is well established. 
We understand how our product 
is used and the value it provides 
and we see that we are early in 
the penetraton of our addressable 
market. A similar opportunity exists 
in the US. The market dynamics 
are different in the US, but we are 
a disruptor and based on our early 
successes we plan to drive strong 
growth in the US. 

Looking to the long term we 
see the value of Nearmap’s 
offering increasing as we serve 
a number of rapidly emerging 
industries. Automation of tasks 
like driving, quoting, planning 
and auditing will rely on the 
accurate, up to date location 
data that Nearmap provides.

Corporate structure
Nearmap Ltd is a company limited 
by shares incorporated and domiciled 
in Australia. 

Nature of operations 
and principal activities
The principal activity of the 
consolidated entity during the course 
of the fi nancial year was online aerial 
photomapping via its 100% owned 
subsidiaries Nearmap Australia 
Pty Ltd and Nearmap US Inc. 

Business model
Nearmap is an innovative online 
PhotoMap content provider that 
creates high quality current and 
changing maps. The Company 
generates revenues through 
licensing its content to a broad range 
of customers such as government 
agencies, the commercial sector 
and small to medium enterprises. 

Nearmap’s breakthrough technology 
has been designed to fully automate 
the process of creating a high 
defi nition PhotoMap of large areas 
such as cities quickly and in a cost 
effective fashion. The technology 
enables PhotoMaps to be updated 
more frequently than other providers, 
which can be months, if not years out 
of date.

Nearmap’s strategy is to effectively 
monetise all of its content by providing 
convenient access to the content 
via desktop and mobile platforms, 
and through subscription models 
and value add products supported 
by e-commerce facilities.

The pivotal features underpinning the 
success of the Nearmap business 
model are:

– the frequency with which this 

data is updated;

– the clarity (resolution) of the 

PhotoMaps; and

– the availability of previous surveys on 
the same platform, allowing users to 
track changes at locations over time.

Nearmap’s balance sheet remains 
strong with no debt and a strong 
cash balance. During the year ended 
30 June 2016, Nearmap invested in 
sales and marketing in the Australian 
business, the US expansion, and the 
HyperCamera2 system. Our cash 
balance remains strong at $12.2m 
at 30 June 2016.

Cash receipts from customers for 
the year were $37.3m compared 
to $26.9m for the previous year, 
an increase of $10.4m (39%).

Dividends
No dividends have been paid or 
proposed in respect of the current 
year (2015: nil).

Consolidated result
The consolidated entity’s result after 
provision for income tax was a loss 
of $7.1m (2015: loss of $0.8m).

Review and results of operations
For the year ended 30 June 2016, 
Nearmap reported total revenue of 
$31.3m, up 20% on corresponding 
prior year revenue of $26.1m, 
underpinned by continued customer
retention and growth in the customer 
base.

Environmental regulation 
and performance
The current activities of Nearmap 
are not subject to any signifi cant 
environmental regulation. However, 
the Board believes that Nearmap has 
adequate systems in place to manage 
its environmental obligations and is 
not aware of any breach of those 
environmental requirements as they 
apply to Nearmap.

Signifi cant changes 
in the state of affairs
a) In August 2015, two US patents 
for next-generation aerial camera 
systems were granted, with 
several more US patents pending. 
Progress continues to be made 
on the HyperCamera2 aerial 
camera system, which is designed 
to capture multi-directional 
oblique views at very high capture 
effi ciencies. 

b) On 15 October 2015, Dr Rob 

Newman was appointed Managing 
Director and Chief Executive 
Offi cer of Nearmap while Mr 
Gerhard Beukes was promoted 
to Chief Operating Offi cer. 
Mr Beukes continues in his role 
of Chief Financial Offi cer. 

c) On 18 December 2015, the 

Company appointed Mr Peter 
James as Deputy Chair and Non-
Executive Director of the Company. 
Peter is an independent director 
under the Company’s defi nition of 
independence and is a member of 
the Nomination and Remuneration 
Committee and the Audit and Risk 
Management Committee.

d) On 7 December 2015, Nearmap 

announced the signing of a 
major contract with an existing 
customer, which increased its 
annual contract value to $1.47m. 
This contract demonstrated 
Nearmap’s successful business 
model of working in partnership 
with customers to grow wider and 
deeper adoption of Nearmap’s 
product, adding more value to its 
customers’ business. 

Prospects for future years
The Directors believe that the 
business strategies put in place will 
ensure that the Group continues on 
its growth trajectory in the foreseeable 
future. Nearmap is primed to continue 
generating value to its shareholders in 
future years, subject to a stable macro-
economic environment. The Group will 
continue to seek new opportunities 
to build scale and to broaden its 
customer base.

The Group faces a number of risks, 
including availability and cost of funds, 
which may impact on its ability to 
achieve its revenue targets.

Indemnifi cation and 
insurance of Directors
During the fi nancial year, the Group 
paid a premium to insure the Directors 
and offi cers of the Group. The 
liabilities insured are legal costs that 
may be incurred in defending civil 
or criminal proceedings that may be 
brought against the offi cers in their 
capacity as offi cers of entities in the 
Group, and any other payments arising 
from liabilities incurred by the offi cers 
in connection with such proceedings. 
This does not include such liabilities 
that arise from conduct involving a 
wilful breach of duty by the offi cers 
or the improper use by the offi cers 
of their position or of information to 
gain advantage for themselves or 
someone else or to cause detriment 
to the Company. It is not possible 
to apportion the premium between 
amounts relating to the insurance 
against legal costs and those relating 
to other liabilities.

e) On 28 January 2016, Nearmap 

appointed Mr Ian Morris as a Non-
Executive Director of the Company. 
Ian is an independent director 
under the Company’s defi nition of 
independence and is a member of 
the Nomination and Remuneration 
Committee.

f)  On 18 March 2016, Nearmap 

appointed Mr Peter James as the 
new Chair of the Company. The 
previous Chair, Mr Ross Norgard, 
remains on the Board as a Non-
Executive Director.

g) On 31 May 2016, Nearmap 
announced that it had signed 
a signifi cant new one year 
subscription contract with an 
existing customer, one of Australia’s 
largest digital infrastructure 
companies. The new contract has 
an annual value of $1.1m and is the 
second in excess of $1m executed 
by Nearmap in FY16. 

h) On 23 June 2016, Nearmap 
announced a new strategic 
partnership with OmniEarth, 
the US based leader in the Earth

circumstances specifi c to the Group 
that have arisen since 30 June 2016 
that have signifi cantly affected or may

fi nancial years; or

– the results of those operations 

in future fi nancial years; or

– the Group’s state of affairs 
in future fi nancial years.

Remuneration Report (Audited)

This report outlines the remuneration 
arrangements in place for Directors 
and key management personnel of 
Nearmap Ltd (the Company) and the 
consolidated entity (the Group).

The Remuneration Report is set out 
under the following main headings:

A. Principles used to determine the 

nature and amount of remuneration;

B. Details of remuneration;

C. Employment contracts;

D. Share based compensation;

E. Transactions of key management 

personnel;

F.  Additional information; and

G. Shares under option.

The information provided in this 
Remuneration Report has been audited 
as required by section 308(3C) of the 
Corporations Act 2001.

A. Principles used to 
determine the nature and 
amount of remuneration
Remuneration philosophy
The performance of the Company 
depends upon the quality of its 
Directors and executives. To prosper, 
the Company must attract, motivate 
and retain highly skilled Directors and 
executives.

To this end, the Company embodies 
the following principles in its 
remuneration framework:

– Provide competitive rewards to 
attract high calibre executives;

– Link executive rewards to 
shareholder value; and

– Establish appropriate, demanding 
performance hurdles in relation to 
variable executive remuneration.

Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee
The Nomination and Remuneration 
Committee of the Board of Directors 
of the Company is responsible 
for determining and reviewing 
compensation arrangements for the 
Directors, the Managing Director (MD) 
and the senior management team and 
ensuring that the Board continues 
to operate within the established 
guidelines, including when necessary, 
selecting candidates for the position 
of Director.

The Nomination and Remuneration 
Committee assesses the 
appropriateness of the nature and 
amount of remuneration of Directors 
and key management personnel on a 
periodic basis by reference to relevant 
employment market conditions with 
the overall objective of ensuring 
maximum stakeholder benefi t from 
the retention of a high quality Board 
and executive team.

The amount of aggregate 
remuneration sought to be approved 
by shareholders and the manner 
in which it is apportioned amongst 
Directors is reviewed annually. 

i) Services from remuneration 
consultants

The Board periodically reviews the 
level of fees paid to Non-Executive 
Directors, including seeking external 
advice. A review was undertaken 
during FY15 with the assistance of 
PwC. No change was made to fees, 
as the current level of fees is deemed 
appropriate. 

Remuneration structure
In accordance with best practice 
corporate governance, the structure 
of Non-Executive Director and key 
management personnel remuneration 
is separate and distinct.

Non-Executive Director remuneration

Objective The Board seeks to set 
aggregate remuneration at a level 
which provides the Company with the 
ability to attract and retain Directors 
of the highest calibre, whilst incurring 
a cost which is acceptable to 
shareholders.

Structure The Constitution and 
the ASX Listing Rules specify that 
the aggregate remuneration of 
Non-Executive Directors shall be 
determined from time to time by a 
general meeting. An amount not 
exceeding the amount determined is 
then divided between the Directors as 
agreed. The latest determination was 
at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) 
held on 30 November 2015 when 
shareholders approved an aggregate 
remuneration of $500,000 per year.

Voting and comments made 
at the Company’s 2015 Annual 
General Meeting

The Company received 16.69% “no” 
votes on its Remuneration Report for 
the 2015 fi nancial year. The Company 
did not receive any specifi c feedback 
at the AGM or throughout the year on 
its remuneration practices.

Each Director receives a fee for 
being a Director of the Company. 
A further fee is paid where additional 
time commitment is required like that 
being required by the Chairman of 
the Company. 

Key management personnel and 
Executive Director remuneration

Objective The Company aims to 
reward executives with a level and 
mix of remuneration commensurate 
with their position and responsibilities 
within the Company and so as to:

– reward executives and individual 

performance against key 
performance indicators;

– align the interests of executives 
with those of shareholders;

– link reward with the strategic goals 
and performance of the Group; and

– ensure total remuneration is 

competitive by market standards.

Structure Remuneration typically 
consists of the following key elements:

Variable Remuneration — 
Short Term Incentive (STI)

Objective The objective of the STI 
program is to link the achievement of 
the Company’s operational targets 
with the remuneration received by 
the employees charged with meeting 
those targets. The total potential STI 
where available is set at a level so 
as to provide suffi cient incentive to 
employees to achieve the operational 
targets and such that the cost to 
the Company is reasonable in the 
circumstances.

Structure Actual STI payments 
granted to each employee depend on 
the extent to which specifi c operating 
targets set are met. The operational 
targets consist of a number of Key 
Performance Indicators (KPIs) 
covering both fi nancial and non-
fi nancial measures of performance. 
Typically included are measures 
such as contribution to net profi t 
after tax, customer management 
and leadership/team contribution.

– Fixed Remuneration
– Variable Remuneration
– Short Term Incentive (STI); and
– Long Term Incentive (LTI).

The proportion of fi xed remuneration 
and variable remuneration (potential 
short term and long term incentives) is 
established for each key management 
personnel by the Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee. 

Fixed Remuneration
Objective The level of fi xed 
remuneration is set so as to provide 
a base level of remuneration which 
is both appropriate to the position 
and is competitive in the market.

Fixed remuneration is reviewed 
annually by the Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee and the 
process consists of a review of 
individual performance, relevant 
comparative remuneration in the 
market and internal and, where 
appropriate, external advice on 
policies and practices. 

The Board determined that no 
increase would be made to the 
fi xed remuneration for the Managing 
Director and all other key management 
Personnel in the 2016 fi nancial year as 
the current level of remuneration was 
considered appropriate.

Structure Senior executives are given 
the opportunity to receive their fi xed 
(primary) remuneration in a variety 
of forms including cash and fringe 
benefi ts such as motor vehicles and 
expense payment plans. It is intended 
that the manner of payment chosen 
will be optimal for the recipient without 
creating undue cost for the Company.

Remuneration Report (Audited)

A. Principles used to 
determine the nature and 
amount of remuneration 
(cont.)

Remuneration structure (cont.)

On an annual basis, after 
consideration of performance against 
KPIs, an overall performance rating 
for the Group and each individual’s 
performance is made and is taken 
into account when determining the 
amount, if any, of the short term 
incentive pool to be allocated to each 
employee. The aggregate of annual 
STI payments available for employees 
across the Group is subject to the 
approval of the Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee. Payments 
made are usually delivered as a cash 
bonus. However, STI payments are 
subject to discretion by the Board 
based on performance at the end 
of the year. 

Variable Remuneration – 
Long Term Incentive (LTI)

Objective The objective of the 
LTI plan is to reward employees in 
a manner which aligns this element 
of remuneration with the creation 
of shareholder wealth. 

Australian employees
Options are granted with a strike price 
of at least 143% of the share price 
prevailing at the time of the grant. 
Executives are therefore required to 
achieve a fi xed increase in share price 
of more than 43% before any value 
attracts to the individual. 

The options have a 4 year term 
with the following service condition 
structures:

– service vesting condition of 1 year 
for 50% of each tranche granted 
and 2 years for the second 50% 
tranche, or;

– service vesting condition of 1 year 
for 33% of each tranche granted, 
2 years for 33% of the next tranche 
and 3 years for the remaining 34%.

There are no performance related 
vesting conditions. The Board believes 
that this is a challenging fi xed target in 
share price over the option term and is 
therefore an appropriate mechanism to 
align company performance with that 
of the individual.

An employee loan scheme 
arrangement exists should an 
employee elect to apply for a loan on 
exercise of options, which may be 
granted subject to Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee discretion. 

Structure LTI grants to employees 
are delivered in the form of options 
and the amount is determined by 
the Nomination and Remuneration 
Committee having regard to:

– the seniority of the relevant 

Eligible Person and the position 
the Eligible Person occupies within 
the Company;

– the length of service of the 

Eligible Person with the Group;

– the record of employment of the 
Eligible Person with the Group;

– the potential contribution of the 
Eligible Person to the growth of 
the Group;

– the extent (if any) of the existing 

participation of the Eligible Person 
(or any Permitted Nominee in 
relation to that Eligible Person) 
in the Plan; and 

– any other matters which the 
Board considers relevant.

United States employees
Options are granted with a strike price 
of the share price prevailing at the time 
of the grant. 

.

The options have a 5 year term and 
a service vesting condition of 1 year 
for 25% of each tranche granted and 
then in equal tranches at 3 monthly 
intervals to 4 years for the remaining 
75%. There are no performance 
related vesting conditions. The 
Board believes that this structure 
is necessary to attract and retain 
high calibre executives to deliver 
the Group’s strategy in the United 
States market. The Board ensures the 
alignment of company performance 
with that of the individual through the 
STI program as documented above.

Group performance
The overall level of executive reward takes into account the nature of the technology commercialisation business and realistic 
timeframes for generating profi ts. In particular, executive rewards recognise the commercialisation of the Nearmap business 
and future shareholder wealth contained therein and progress in unlocking the value created to date. Executive performance 
of the Group has been reviewed over the past 5 years taking into account future shareholder wealth and profi t performance. 

In considering the Group’s performance and benefi ts for shareholder wealth, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee

C. Employment contracts 
All executive employees and key management personnel are employed under contract. All executives have ongoing 
contracts and as such only have commencement dates and no expiry dates. Details of key management personnel and 
executives contracts as at 30 June are:

– On resignation any unvested options are forfeited. Limited recourse loans (LRLs) are only granted to key management 

personnel in respect of vested options, therefore the loans are not subject to cancellation on resignation. 

– The Company may terminate an employment agreement by providing the respective written notice period or provide 
payment in lieu of the notice period (based on the fi xed component of remuneration). On such termination by the 
Company, any LTI options that have vested, or will vest during the notice period will be required to be exercised within 
180 days from termination date (unless agreed otherwise by the Company) or their options expiry date if earlier. 
LTI options that have not yet vested will be forfeited.

– The Company may terminate an employment contract at any time without notice if serious misconduct has occurred. 
Where termination with cause occurs, the employee is only entitled to that portion of remuneration which is fi xed, and 
only up to the date of termination. On termination with cause any unvested options will immediately be forfeited. 

– If an employee ceases to be employed by the Company (including by way of resignation, retirement, dismissal, etc) and 
has an outstanding LRL, the employee may elect to have the Company sell the loan shares and apply the net proceeds 
of the sale in repayment of the loan or repay the outstanding amount on the loan. This determination must generally be 
made within 1 month of the date of ceased employment. 

– There are no formal contracts between the Company and Non-Executive Directors in relation to remuneration other than 

the letter of appointment that stipulates the remuneration as at the commencement date.

D. Share based compensation
Options
A share option incentive scheme has been established whereby Directors and certain employees of the Group may be 
issued with options over the ordinary shares of the Company. The options, which are usually issued for nil consideration 
at an exercise price calculated with reference to prevailing market prices and a 43% premium thereon are issued in 
accordance with performance guidelines established by the Directors of the Company. The options are issued for terms 
of up to 4 years and are exercisable on various dates (usually in 2 or 3 equal annual tranches when vested) within 4 years 
from the issue date. 

The options only vest under certain conditions, principally centred on the employee still being employed, or the Director 
still engaged, at the time of vesting (that is, once the service has been satisfi ed). The options cannot be transferred without 
the approval of the Company’s Board and are not quoted on the ASX. As a result plan participants may not enter into any 
transaction designed to remove the “at risk” aspect of an option before it is exercised.

Options were issued to Directors and key management personnel during the year ended 30 June 2016, refer to the table 
below and note 6 per the fi nancial statements for details. 

Limited recourse loans (LRL)
Nearmap’s Employee Share Option Plan includes an Employee Loan Scheme that permits Nearmap to grant fi nancial 
assistance to employees by way of LRLs to enable them to exercise options and acquire shares. Interest on the loans is 
payable by key management personnel at loan maturity and accrues daily. During the year the shareholders resolved to 
allow the Company to determine the rate of interest applicable to LRLs (currently the cash rate set by the Reserve Bank of 
Australia). Previously this was set at a statutory interest rate. Loans are repayable three years after the issue date subject to 
the total share value being greater that the loan’s principal plus accrued interest. The date of alteration was 30 November 
2015, and the market price of the underlying equity on that date was $0.37. There were no other changes to the terms of the 
grant prior to and after the modifi cation.

2 Mr Crowther ceased his employment on 15 October 2015. As at the date of cessation of employment, Mr Crowther held 10,000,000 LRLs 
 over 10,000,000 Nearmap shares.

Financial assistance under the Employee Share Option Plan
LRLs advanced to key management personnel during the year ended 30 June 2016 amounted to $2,317,500 (30 June 
2015: $3,067,500). Interest on the loans during the period has been accrued at rates of between 1.75% and 5.65%.

F. Additional information
The Company has applied fair value measurement provisions of AASB 2 Share-based Payment for all options and 
LRLs granted to Directors and employees. The fair value of such grants is being amortised and disclosed as part of 
Director and employee remuneration on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Options granted as part of Director and 
employee remuneration have been valued using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, which takes account of factors 
including the option exercise price, the current level and volatility of the underlying share price, the risk-free interest rate, 
expected dividends on the underlying share, current market price of the underlying share and the expected life of the option. 
LRLs have also been valued using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. 

Refer to note 6(i) per the fi nancial statements for details of share based payments and all new options granted 
to all employees during the year ended 30 June 2016.

A. Basis of preparation

In this section: This section sets out the basis upon which the Group’s fi nancial statements are prepared as a whole. 
Specifi c accounting policies are described in their respective notes to the fi nancial statements. This section also shows 
information on new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations, and whether they are effective in 2016 or later 
years. We explain how these changes are expected to impact the fi nancial position and performance of the Group. 

The Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets as at 30 June 2016 by $4,870,000 including a current liability 
for unearned income of $18,908,000. Unearned income includes income received in advance which has been deferred 
in the statement of fi nancial position until service is performed. The preliminary fi nal report has been prepared on a going 
concern basis, based on the Group’s cash fl ows for the current year and estimated profi ts and cash fl ows for future year. 

1. Reporting entity
Nearmap Ltd (the ‘Company’) 
is a company limited by shares 
incorporated in Australia whose 
shares are publicly traded on the 
Australian Securities Exchange.

The Company’s registered offi ce 
is at Level 6, 6–8 Underwood 
Street Sydney NSW 2000. These 
consolidated fi nancial statements 
as at 30 June 2016 comprise the 
Company and its subsidiaries 
(collectively referred as the ‘Group’ 
and individually ‘Group entities’).

The Group is a for-profi t entity and the 
nature of the operations and principal 
activities of the Group are described 
in the Directors’ Report. The Group 
is primarily involved in the provision of 
online PhotoMap content via its 100% 
owned subsidiaries Nearmap Australia 
Pty Ltd and Nearmap US Inc.

b) Changes in accounting 
policies and new standards and 
interpretations not yet adopted

A number of new standards, 
amendments to standards and 
interpretations are effective for 
annual periods beginning after 
1 July 2016, and have not been 
applied in preparing these 
consolidated fi nancial statements. 
None of these are expected to have a 
signifi cant effect on the consolidated 
fi nancial statements of the Group, 
except for AASB 9 Financial 
Instruments, AASB15 Revenue 
from Contracts with Customers, 
and AASB 16 Leases, which 
become mandatory for the Group’s 
2019, 2019 and 2020 consolidated 
fi nancial statements respectively and 
could change the classifi cation and 
measurement of fi nancial instruments, 
revenue recognition and lease 
recognition. The Group does not 
plan to adopt these standards early 
and the extent of the impact has not 
been determined.

A. Basis of preparation

2. Signifi cant 
accounting policies (cont.)

a) Basis of accounting

The consolidated fi nancial 
statements are general purpose 
fi nancial statements which have 
been prepared in accordance with 
Australian Accounting Standards 
(AASBs) adopted by the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board 
(AASB) and the Corporations Act 
2001. The consolidated fi nancial 
statements also comply with 
International Financial Reporting 
Standards (IFRS) as issued by the 
International Accounting Standards 
Board (IASB). The consolidated 
fi nancial statements have been 
prepared on a historical cost basis, 
except for the revaluation of certain 
fi nancial instruments. Cost is based 
on the fair values of the consideration 
given in exchange for assets. 

All amounts are presented in Australian 
dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The Group is of a kind referred to 
in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in 
fi nancial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 
2016/191 and in accordance with 
that instrument, amounts in the 
consolidated fi nancial report and 
Directors’ Report have been rounded 
off to the nearest thousand dollars, 
unless otherwise stated.

Certain comparative amounts 
have been reclassifi ed to conform 
with current year presentation.

c) Basis of consolidation

The fi nancial statements of subsidiaries 
are prepared for the same reporting 
period as the parent company, using 
consistent accounting policies.

In preparing the consolidated 
fi nancial statements, all intercompany 
balances and transactions, income 
and expenses and profi t and losses 
resulting from intra-group transactions 
have been eliminated.

Subsidiaries are entities controlled 
by the Company. 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. The fi nancial statements of 
subsidiaries are included in the 
consolidated fi nancial statements 
from the date that control commences 
until the date that control ceases. 

When the Company ceases to have 
control, joint control or signifi cant 
infl uence, any retained interest in the 
entity is remeasured to its fair value 
with the change in carrying amount 
recognised in profi t or loss. The fair 
value is the initial carrying amount 
for the purposes of subsequently 
accounting for the retained interest 
as an associate, jointly controlled 
entity or fi nancial asset. In addition, 
any amounts previously recognised 
in other comprehensive income in 
respect of that entity are accounted 
for as if the Company had directly 
disposed of the related assets 
or liabilities. This may mean that 
amounts previously recognised in 
other comprehensive income are 
reclassifi ed to profi t or loss.

A. Basis of preparation

2. Signifi cant 
accounting policies (cont.)
d) Signifi cant accounting 
judgements, estimates and 
assumptions

The carrying amount of certain assets 
and liabilities are often determined 
based on estimates and assumptions 
of future events. The key judgments 
and estimates which are material to 
the fi nancial report are found in the 
following notes:

– Note 6(i): Share-based payments
– Note 7: Income tax
– Note 11: Intangibles

Non-monetary items measured at 
fair value in a foreign currency are 
translated using the exchange rates 
at the date when the fair value was 
determined. Non-monetary items that 
are measured in terms of historical 
cost in a foreign currency are 
translated using the exchange rate as 
at the date of the initial transaction.

Foreign currency differences are 
generally recognised in profi t or loss. 
However, foreign currency differences 
arising from the translation of the 
following item is recognised in OCI:

– qualifying cash fl ow hedges to the 
extent that the hedges are effective. 

ii) Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign 
operations are translated into 
Australian dollars at the exchange 
rates at the reporting date. The income 
and expenses of foreign operations 
are translated into Australian dollars 
at the exchange rates at the dates 
of the transactions. Foreign currency 
differences are recognised in OCI and 
accumulated in the translation reserve. 

e) Foreign currencies

i) Foreign currency transactions
Both the functional and presentation 
currency of the Company and its 
Australian subsidiaries is Australian 
dollars (A$). Each entity in the 
Group determines its own functional 
currency and items included in the 
fi nancial statements of each entity 
are measured using that functional 
currency.

Transactions in foreign currencies 
are initially recorded in the functional 
currency at the exchange rates ruling at 
the date of the transaction. Monetary 
assets and liabilities denominated 
in foreign currencies are translated 
into the functional currency at the 
exchange rate at the reporting date. 

3. Other confi rmations
Contingent liabilities
As at 30 June 2016, the Directors are 
not aware of any contingent liabilities in 
relation to the Company or the Group. 

Subsequent events
There were no matters or 
circumstances specifi c to the 
Company or the Group that have 
arisen since 30 June 2016 that 
have signifi cantly affected or may 
signifi cantly affect:

– the Company or Group’s 
operations in future years; 

– the results of those operations 

in future fi nancial years; or

– the Company or Group’s state 

of affairs in future fi nancial years. 

Related parties
Other than the loans granted under 
the employee loan scheme as 
disclosed in note 6 per the fi nancial 
statements, there have been no sales, 
purchases or other transactions with 
related parties during the year ended 
30 June 2016 (year ended 30 June 
2015: nil).

Accounting policy – revenue recognition and measurement

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefi ts will fl ow to the Group and the revenue can 
be reliably measured. The following specifi c revenue recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Subscription revenue
Subscription revenue is recognised over the life of the contract in line with when the signifi cant risks and rewards of 
ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, and the amount of revenue 
can be measured reliably. The timing of the transfer of risks and rewards varies depending on the individual terms of the 
subscription agreement.

On-demand revenue
On-demand revenue is recognised in accordance with the percentage of completion method. The stage of completion is 
measured by reference to percentage area captured to date as a percentage of the total estimated capture area for each contract.

Royalty income
Royalty income is earned through third parties who sell Nearmap imagery on behalf of the Group. It is recognised when 
the contract of sale between the parties have been signed.

Grant income
Grant income is the New South Wales payroll grant of $134,000 received from Offi ce of State Revenue. It is recognised 
when incremental headcounts are hired for new jobs created.

Interest income
Interest income is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. 

Unearned revenue
Prepaid amounts received from customers in advance are deferred to the relevant future subscription agreement periods. 
Unearned revenue comprises photo mapping subscription license service fees charged, the revenue for which is primarily 
recognised in the profi t or loss over the subscription period. Unearned revenue at 30 June 2016 was $18,908,000 
(2015: $15,726,000).

6. Personnel expenses 
Personnel disclosures include information on i) share-based payments, ii) employee benefi ts expense and 
iii) key management personnel. 

i) Share-based payments
An Employee Share Option Plan has been established whereby Directors and certain employees of the consolidated 
entity may be issued with options over the ordinary shares of the Company. The options, which are usually issued for nil 
consideration at an exercise price calculated with reference to prevailing market prices, are issued in accordance with terms 
established by the Directors of the Company.

The options are generally issued for 4 years and are exercisable on various dates (usually in 2 or 3 equal annual tranches 
when vested) within 4 years from the issue date. The options cannot be transferred without the approval of the Company’s 
Board and are not quoted on the ASX. 

Nearmap’s Employee Share Option Plan also includes an Employee Loan Scheme that permits Nearmap to grant fi nancial 
assistance to employees by way of LRLs to enable them to exercise options and acquire shares.

Key estimates
and judgments
The Group estimates the fair value 
of equity-settled transactions (share 
options and LRLs at the date at which 
they are granted. The fair value is 
determined using the Black-Scholes 
model and includes assumptions 
in the following areas: risk free rate, 
volatility and estimated service periods. 
The expected life of the options is 
based on historical data and not 
necessarily indicative of exercise 
patters than may occur. The expected 
volatility refl ects the assumption that 
the historical volatility is indicative 
of future trends, which may also not 
necessarily be actual outcome. No 
other features of options granted were 
incorporated into the measurement 
of fair value. There are no voting or 
dividend rights attached to the options. 

Accounting policy -
recognition and measurement
of share-based payments 
In valuing equity-settled transactions, 
no account is taken of any 
performance conditions, other than 
conditions linked to the price of the 
shares of the Company (‘market 
conditions’) if applicable. 

The fair value of equity-settled 
transactions is recognised, together 
with the corresponding increase in 
equity, over the period in which the 
performance conditions are fulfi lled, 
ending on the date on which the 
relevant employees become fully 
entitled to the award (‘vesting period’). 

The cumulative expense recognised 
for equity-settled transactions at each 
reporting date until vesting date refl ects 
(i) the extent to which the vesting 
period has expired and (ii) the Group’s 
best estimate of the number of equity 
instruments that will ultimately vest. 

The profi t or loss charge or credit for 
a period represents the movement in 
cumulative expense recognised at the 
beginning and end of that period. 

No expense is recognised for awards 
that do not ultimately vest, except 
for awards where vesting is only 
conditional upon a market condition. 

A modifi cation of terms of share-based 
payment transactions occurs when 
the Board accepts a loan request 
submitted by an employee of the 
Group to exercise fully vested options 
under the Employee Loan Scheme 
through a LRL in lieu of cash payment 
of the exercise price. Since the 
terms of an equity-settled award are 
modifi ed, as a minimum an expense 
is recognised as if the terms had not 
been modifi ed. In addition, an expense 
is recognised for any modifi cation that 
increases the total fair value of the 
share-based payment arrangement, 
or is otherwise benefi cial to the 
employee, as measured at the date 
of modifi cation. 

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, 
it is treated as if it had vested on the 
date of cancellation, and any expense 
not yet recognised for the award is 
recognised immediately. However, if 
a new award is substituted for the 
cancelled award and designated as 
a replacement award on the date that 
it is granted, the cancelled and new 
award are treated as if they were a 
modifi cation of the original award, as 
described in the previous paragraph. 

The dilutive effect, if any, of 
outstanding options is refl ected 
as additional share dilution in the 
computation of earnings per share.

7. Income tax

Key estimates and judgments

Deferred tax
Pursuant to AASB 112 Income Taxes, 
the Company has assessed its best 
estimate of the probability that future 
taxable profi ts will be available against 
which the Group can utilise its unused 
tax losses and deductible temporary 
differences in future periods. 

Accounting policy -
recognition and measurement
of income tax
Research and development 
tax incentive
The Group accounts for the benefi t 
of refundable research and 
development tax incentives as 
government grant income, which is 
recognised when there is reasonable 
assurance that the Group will comply 
with the conditions that attach to the 
incentive and that it will be received. 
The income is recognised in Other 
Income on a systematic basis over 
the periods in which the Group 
recognises the related research and 
development expense. The Group 
accounts for any non-refundable 
research and development tax credits 
as an income tax benefi t. 

Deferred income tax assets are 
recognised for all deductible 
temporary differences, carry-forward 
of unused tax assets and unused 
tax losses, to the extent that it is 
probable that taxable profi t will be 
available against which the deductible 
temporary differences, and the carry-
forward of unused tax assets and 
unused tax losses can be utilised:

– except where the deferred income 
tax asset relating to the deductible 
temporary difference arises from 
the initial recognition of an asset or 
liability in a transaction that is not 
a business combination and, at 
the time of the transaction, affects 
neither the accounting profi t nor 
taxable profi t or loss; and

– in respect of deductible temporary 

differences associated with 
investments in subsidiaries, 
associates and interests in joint 
ventures, deferred tax assets are 
only recognised to the extent that 
it is probable that the temporary 
differences will reverse in the 
foreseeable future and taxable 
profi t will be available against 
which the temporary differences 
can be utilised.

Income tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for 
the current and prior periods are 
measured at the amount expected 
to be recovered from or paid to the 
taxation authorities. The tax rates 
and tax laws used to compute the 
amount are those that are enacted 
or substantively enacted at the 
reporting date.

Deferred income tax is provided on 
all temporary differences at the 
reporting date between the tax 
bases of assets and liabilities and 
their carrying amounts for fi nancial 
reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are 
recognised for all taxable temporary 
differences:

– except where the deferred income 
tax liability arises from the initial 
recognition of goodwill or of an 
asset or liability in a transaction that 
is not a business combination and, 
at the time of the transaction, affects 
neither the accounting profi t nor 
taxable profi t or loss; and

– in respect of taxable temporary 
differences associated with 
investments in subsidiaries, 
associates and interests in joint 
ventures, except where the timing 
of the reversal of the temporary 
differences can be controlled and 
it is probable that the temporary 
differences will not reverse in the 
foreseeable future.

of income tax (cont.)

Income tax (cont.)

The carrying amount of deferred 
income tax assets is reviewed at each 
reporting date and reduced to the 
extent that it is no longer probable that 
suffi cient taxable profi t will be available 
to allow all or part of the deferred 
income tax asset to be utilised. 
Unrecognised deferred income 
tax assets are reassessed at each 
reporting date and are recognised to 
the extent that it has become probable 
that future taxable profi t will allow the 
deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Tax consolidation
The Company and its wholly-owned 
Australian controlled entities have 
implemented the tax consolidation 
legislation. The head entity, Nearmap 
Ltd, and the controlled entities in the 
tax consolidated Group account for 
their own current and deferred tax 
amounts. These tax amounts are 
measured as if each entity in the tax 
consolidated Group continues to be 
a standalone taxpayer in its own right. 
In addition to its own current and 
deferred tax amounts, the Company 
also recognises the current tax 
liabilities (or assets) and the deferred 
tax assets arising from unused 
tax losses and unused tax credits 
assumed from controlled entities 
in the tax consolidated Group. 

Deferred income tax assets and 
liabilities are measured at the tax 
rates that are expected to apply to 
the year when the asset is realised 
or the liability is settled, based on tax 
rates (and tax laws) that have been 
enacted or substantively enacted at 
the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and deferred 
tax liabilities are offset only if a legally 
enforceable right exists to set off 
current tax assets against current 
tax liabilities and the deferred tax 
assets and liabilities relate to the 
same taxable entity and the same 
taxation authority.

Income taxes relating to items 
recognised directly in equity are 
recognised in equity and not in the 
profi t and loss.

C. Capital structure and fi nancial risk management 

In this section: This section outlines how Nearmap manages its capital structure and discusses the Group’s exposure 
to various fi nancial risks and how the Group manages these risks.

Capital Risk Management
The Group’s objective in managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so it can continue 
to commercialise intellectual property with the ultimate objective of providing returns to shareholders whilst maintaining 
an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure the Company 
may issue new shares, sell assets, consider joint ventures and may return capital in some form to shareholders.

8. Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classifi ed as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are 
shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Details in relation to share option movements and the share 
incentive scheme are contained in note 6.

C. Capital structure and fi nancial risk management 

Accounting policy – 
derivative fi nancial instruments
and hedge accounting
The Group holds derivative fi nancial 
instruments to hedge its foreign 
currency risk exposures. These 
derivative instruments are designated 
as cash fl ow hedging instruments. 
The effective portion of changes 
in the fair value of the derivative is 
recognised in OCI and accumulated 
in the hedging reserve. Any ineffective 
portion of changes in the fair value 
of the derivatives is immediately 
recognised in profi t or loss. 
The amount accumulated in equity 
is retained in OCI and reclassifi ed 
to profi t or loss in the same period 
or periods during which the hedged 
item affects profi t or loss. 

9. Financial instruments – 
fair value and 
risk management

Accounting policy – fi nancial
instruments carried at fair value

The fair value of fi nancial assets and 
fi nancial liabilities must be estimated 
for recognition and measurement or 
for disclosure purposes. The fair value 
of these instruments is categorised 
into different levels of the fair value 
hierarchy based on the inputs used 
in the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) 
in active markets for identical assets 
or liabilities that the Group can assess 
at the measurement date. 

Level 2: inputs other than quoted 
prices included within Level 1 that are 
observable for the asset or liability, 
either directly (as prices) or indirectly 
(derived from prices).

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability 
that are not based on observable 
market data (unobservable inputs). 

The Group recognises transfers 
between levels of the fair value 
hierarchy as of the end of the 
reporting period which the transfer 
has occurred. 

The Group’s principal fi nancial 
instruments comprise cash, short-term 
deposits and derivatives. The Group is 
primarily exposed to the following risks 
arising from fi nancial instruments:

– Market risk, particularly in relation 
to foreign currencies (see 9(ii));

– Credit risk (see 9(iii)). 

This note provides information about 
the Group’s exposure to the above 
risks and its objectives, policies 
and processes for measuring and 
managing those risks. 

i) Risk management framework
The Company’s Board of Directors 
has overall responsibility for the 
establishment and oversight of 
the Group’s risk management 
framework. The Board of Directors 
have established the Audit and 
Risk Management Committee 
which is responsible for developing 
and monitoring the Group’s risk 
management policies.  

The Group’s risk management 
policies are established to identify 
and analyse the risks faced by the 
Group, to set appropriate risk limits 
and controls and to monitor risks and 
adherence to limits. Risk management 
policies are reviewed regularly 
to refl ect changes in the market 
and the Group’s activities.

9. Financial instruments – fair value and risk management (cont.)
ii) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices – such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates – will affect the 
Group’s income or the value of its holdings of fi nancial instruments. The Group uses derivatives to manage market risk related 
to foreign currencies. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines of the Group’s risk management policies. 

Currency risk
The Group’s functional currency is the Australian dollar (AUD) and it is exposed to currency risk on payments denominated 
in the United States dollar (USD). The Group uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its currency risk, all of which 
have a maturity of less than six months from the reporting date. The currency risk relating to payments denominated in USD 
have been fully hedged, with the forward exchange contracts maturing on the same dates that the forecast payments are 
expected to occur. These contracts are designated as cash fl ow hedges. 

In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Group’s policy is to ensure the net 
exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary. 

Exposure to foreign currency risk

Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to changes in interest rates as it relates to the Company’s short-term deposits. The Company 
monitors changes in interest rates regularly to ensure the best possible return on deposits. Changes to interest rates in this 
context are not considered a signifi cant fi nancial risk. 

iii) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of fi nancial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a fi nancial instrument fails to meet its 
contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and forward exchange contracts. 
The Group trades primarily with recognised, creditworthy third parties.

Trade and other receivables
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is infl uenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. Receivable 
balances are monitored on an ongoing basis, with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not signifi cant.

Accounting policy – trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 7–60 days. 
The Group has no reliance on any major customers. 

Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account 
for impairment is used when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according 
to the original terms (such as signifi cant fi nancial diffi culties of the debtor, probability of bankruptcy, etc). The amount of the 
impairment loss is recognised in profi t or loss within other expenses. 

When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance has been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent 
period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited 
against other expenses in the income statement.

Liquidity Risk 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter diffi culty in meeting the obligations associated with its fi nancial 
liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another fi nancial asset. The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance 
between continuity of funding and fl exibility through the use of its cash and funding requirements. The Group continually 
monitors forecast and actual cash fl ows and the maturity profi les of assets and liabilities to manage its liquidity risk.

The fair values of other fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities, together with the carrying amounts in the Consolidated 
Statement of Financial Position, at 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015 is detailed below.

1 The forward exchange contracts are not quoted in active markets as they are not traded on a recognised exchange. Instead, the Group uses valuation techniques 

(present value techniques) which use both observable and unobservable market inputs. As these fi nancial instruments use valuation techniques with unobservable 
inputs that are not signifi cant to the overall valuation, these instruments are included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between levels 
of the fair value hierarchy during the year-ended 30 June 2016. The Group has not disclosed the fair values for fi nancial instruments such as short-term trade 
receivables and payables because their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of fair values.

10. Dividends paid on ordinary shares

No dividends were paid or proposed for the year ending 30 June 2016 (2015: nil). 
Franking credit balance 
The amount of franking credits available for the subsequent fi nancial year are: 
Franking account balance as at the beginning of the fi nancial year at 30% (2015: 30%) 
Franking credits utilised through the receipt of R&D credits as at the end of the fi nancial year

11. Intangibles

Key estimates and judgments

Capture costs
Pursuant to AASB 138 Intangible 
Assets, the Company has assessed 
its best estimate of the probability 
that the expected future economic 
benefi ts attributable to the Group’s 
digital imagery will fl ow to the entity. 
As a result, capture costs directly 
attributable and necessary to create 
and upload digital imagery online have 
been recognised as an intangible 
asset. Capture costs capitalised are 
being amortised over a period 
of 5 years. Amortisation of capture 
costs has been included within 
‘depreciation and amortisation 
expenses’ in the Consolidated 
Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

Impairment of assets
The Group assesses impairment at 
each reporting date by evaluation of 
conditions specifi c to the Group that 
may lead to impairment of assets. 
Where an impairment trigger exists, 
the recoverable amount of the asset is 
determined. Value-in-use calculations 
performed in assessing recoverable 
amounts incorporate a number of key 
estimates, including forecasting of 
profi ts, cash fl ows, and discount rates.

Accounting policy -
impairment of assets

The Group assesses at each reporting 
period whether there is an indication 
that an asset (other than goodwill or 
intangibles with indefi nite useful life) 
may be impaired. If any such indication 
exists, or when annual impairment 
testing for an asset is required, the 
Group makes an estimate of the 
asset’s recoverable amount. An 
asset’s recoverable amount is the 
higher of its fair value less costs to sell 
and its value in use and is determined 
for an individual asset, unless the 
asset does not generate cash infl ows 
that are largely independent of those 
from other assets or groups of assets 
and the assets value in use cannot be 
estimated to be close to its fair value. 
In such cases the asset is tested 
for impairment as part of the cash 
generating unit to which it belongs. 
When the carrying amount of an 
asset or cash generating unit exceeds 
its recoverable amount, the asset or 
cash generating unit is considered 
impaired and is written down to its 
recoverable amount. 

In assessing value in use, the 
estimated future cash fl ows are 
discounted to their present value using 
a pre-tax discount rate that refl ects 
current market assessments of the 
time value of money and the risks 
specifi c to the asset. 

Impairment losses relating to 
continuing operations are recognised 
in those expense categories 
consistent with the function of the 
impaired asset unless the asset is 
carried at revalued amount (in which 
case the impairment loss is treated as 
a revaluation decrease). 

An assessment is also made at each 
reporting date as to whether there 
is any indication that previously 
recognised impairment losses 
may no longer exist or may have 
decreased. If such indication exists, 
the recoverable amount is estimated. 
A previously recognised impairment 
loss is reversed only if there has 
been a change in estimate used to 
determine the asset’s recoverable 
amount since the last impairment loss 
was recognised. If that is the case, 
the carrying amount of the asset is 
increased to its recoverable amount. 

That increased amount cannot exceed 
the carrying amount that would have 
been determined, net of depreciation, 
had no impairment loss been 
recognised in the asset in prior years. 
Such reversal is recognised in profi t 
or loss unless the asset is carried 
at revalued amount, in which case 
the reversal is treated as revaluation 
increase. After such a reversal the 
depreciation charge is adjusted in 
future periods to allocate the asset’s 
revised carrying amount, less any 
residual value, on a systematic basis 
over its remaining useful life.

11. Intangibles (cont.)

Accounting policy -
recognition and measurement
of intangibles

Research and development costs
Intangible assets acquired separately 
are capitalised at cost and those 
arising from a business combination 
are capitalised at fair value as at the 
date of acquisition. Following initial 
recognition, the cost model is applied 
to the class of intangible assets.

The amortisation period and method 
for intangible assets are reviewed 
at least annually to determine if the 
useful lives should be changed. 
Where there is an expectation that the 
period or method does not match the 
consumption of the economic benefi ts 
embedded within the asset, the useful 
life of the asset will be amended to 
refl ect this change.

Intangible assets are tested for 
impairment where an indicator of 
impairment exists, and in the case 
of intangibles under development 
impairment is tested annually 
or at each reporting period where 
an indicator exists, at the cash-
generating unit level.

A summary of the amortisation 
applied to the Group's intangible 
assets is as follows:

Development costs, patents, 
capture costs and licences

Useful lives Finite (generally for 
a period of 5–20 years).

Amortisation method used Amortised 
over the period of expected future 
benefi t. The expected useful life is 
reviewed annually.

Internally generated or acquired and 
internally generated.

Impairment testing Annually as at 
30 June for assets not yet available 
for use and more frequently when an 
indication of impairment exists.

The patents and licences have been 
granted or are expected to be granted 
for a minimum of 20 years by the 
relevant government agency with the 
option of renewal without signifi cant 
cost at the end of this period provided 
that the Group meets certain 
predetermined targets. Accordingly, 
the patents and licences have been 
determined to have fi nite useful lives.

Gains or losses arising from de-
recognition of an intangible asset are 
measured as the difference between 
the net disposal proceeds and the 
carrying amount of the asset and are 
recognised in the profi t or loss when 
the asset is derecognised.

Research costs and costs that 
do not meet the defi nition of 
development costs for the purpose 
of the standard are expensed as 
incurred. An intangible asset arising 
from development expenditure on 
an internal project is recognised only 
when the Group can demonstrate 
the technical feasibility of completing 
the intangible asset so that it will be 
available for use or sale, its intention to 
complete and its ability to use or sell 
the asset, how the asset will generate 
future economic benefi ts, the 
availability of resources to complete 
the development and the ability to 
measure reliably the expenditure 
attributable to the intangible asset 
during its development. Following the 
initial recognition of the development 
expenditure, the cost model is 
applied requiring the asset to be 
carried at cost less any accumulated 
amortisation and accumulated 
impairment losses. Any expenditure 
so capitalised is amortised over the 
period of expected benefi t from the 
related project.

The carrying value of an intangible 
asset arising from development 
expenditure is tested for impairment 
annually when the asset is not yet 
available for use or more frequently 
when an indication of impairment rises 
during the reporting period.

11. Intangibles (cont.)

Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business 
combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifi able assets, liabilities and contingent 
liabilities. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate 
the carrying value may be impaired. 

All goodwill acquired through business combinations has been allocated to the nearmap.com cash generating unit. 
The recoverable amount of the nearmap.com cash generating unit has been determined based on a value-in-use 
calculation using cash fl ow projections based on Board approved budgets and a 4 year forecast period approved 
by senior management. No impairment was recognised at 30 June 2016 (2015: nil).

12. Plant and equipment

Accounting policy – plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost 
includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. 

Depreciation is calculated over the estimated useful life of the assets, between 2 and 10 years, on a straight line basis. 

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each 
fi nancial year end. 

i) De-recognition and disposal
An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefi ts are expected from 
its use or disposal. 

Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds 
and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profi t or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profi t attributable to shareholders, adjusted for:

– costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);

– the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised 

as expenses; and

– other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential 

ordinary shares, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares,

15. Expenditure commitments

Accounting policy – leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and 
requires an assessment of whether the fulfi lment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specifi c asset or assets 
and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. 

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the profi t or loss on a straight line basis over the lease term. 
Lease incentives are recognised in the income statement as an integral part of the total lease expense. 

Expenditure commitments 
There are no capital expenditure commitments or hire purchase commitments contracted at 30 June 2016 (2015: nil).

Independent Auditor’s Report to the members of Nearmap Ltd

Report on the fi nancial report

We have audited the accompanying fi nancial report of Nearmap Ltd (the Company), which comprises the consolidated 
statement of fi nancial position as at 30 June 2016, and consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated 
statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash fl ows for the year ended on that date, notes 1 to 
18 comprising a summary of signifi cant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the Directors’ 
declaration of the Group comprising the Company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time 
during the fi nancial year.

Directors’ responsibility for the fi nancial report 

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the fi nancial 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 fi nancial report that is free from material 
misstatement whether due to fraud or error. In note 2(a), the Directors also state, in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the fi nancial statements of the Group 
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the fi nancial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in 
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical 
requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the 
fi nancial report is free from material misstatement. 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the fi nancial 
report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material 
misstatement of the fi nancial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor 
considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the fi nancial report that gives a true and fair view in 
order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an 
opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of 
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating 
the overall presentation of the fi nancial report. 

We performed the procedures to assess whether in all material respects the fi nancial report presents fairly, in 
accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards, a true and fair view which is 
consistent with our understanding of the Group’s fi nancial position and of its performance. 

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

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. 

KPMG, an Australian partnership and a member fi rm of the KPMG 
network of independent member fi rms affi  liated with KPMG 
International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity.
