Letter from the Chairman 

The last 12 months witnessed a considerable 
improvement in the company’s operating result 
with a $17.6 million turnaround in our Statutory 
Profit, from a $11.7 million loss in FY2022 to a 
$5.9 million profit in FY2023. Taking into 
consideration non-cash items for the year, the 
underlying EBITDAI increased by $2.9 million 
led by higher sales, better gross margins, and 
tighter expense control.

This result was achieved on the back of the 
first full year trading without any Covid 
restrictions, and closure of eight loss-making 
stores throughout 2022. The exit from the 
leases of the six Victorian stores, in September 
2022, lead to a substantial write-back of lease 
liabilities.

In December 2022, the smooth handover of 
the CEO role to Natalie Sharpe from Tammie 
Phillips occurred. Natalie’s management skills 
and background as a nutritionist complement 
her passion for the business and the Board 
looks forward to working with her and her team 
to deliver profitable growth. The restructure of 
the business, one of the fundamentals that 
underpinned the profit improvement, was 
started by Tammie and continued by Natalie. 
The Board acknowledges that the sustained 
and focussed effort on this restructure by the 
CEOs has been a major contributor to the 
profit turnaround.

In December 2022, Ben Williams was 
appointed to the Board. Ben’s broad 
experience in QSR is welcomed and his 
significant contribution to date appreciated. As 
Oliver’s plans its medium and long-term 
growth, which is likely to include some city-
based stores, Ben’s expertise will be further 
applied.

After four years of changes, the last 12 months 
has seen boardroom stability, The Board is 
now working closely with Natalie and her team 
to deliver on our strategies to drive better 
outcomes for all shareholders, and I thank all 
Directors for their contribution and support.

It was pleasing that we were able to work with 
the ASX through the latter half of 2022 and to 
have our shares reinstated on 27 February 
2023. This was a significant achievement and 
a testament to the perseverance and diligence 
required to resolve the issues that led to our 
suspension in February 2021.

Martin Green 
CHAIRMAN 

FY2024 should see further improvement in 
our operating results. While we are conscious 
of the potential softer economic conditions, 
we are confident in our strategy and pleased 
with the results achieved in the first two 
months. The two new stores at Pheasants 
Nest are major investments and, once 
operational, should deliver a meaningful uplift 
in profitability. So too will the substantial store 
upgrades at both Wyong stores.

The last 12 months have delivered significant 
operational and financial progress, and this 
could not have been achieved without our 
employees’ hard work and their commitment 
to Oliver’s. I thank each employee for their 
effort and dedication.

Acknowledging the improvement in our 
FY2023 results, the Board understands and 
accepts that a lot more work is needed to 
achieve consistent profits that match our 
competitors in the QSR industry. We are 
focussed on working with Natalie to build on 
the gains made to date, delivering on our 
strategy, and creating value for shareholders.

Martin Green 

Chairman 

Letter from the CEO 

FY23 was a year of milestones for Oliver’s as 
we returned the business to profitability and 
relisted on the ASX. Our strong performance 
operationally and financially was the result of a 
successful restructure and strategic 
repositioning as a business. The focus 
remained on improving the performance of our 
existing store network and building a solid 
foundation for sustainable growth and 
profitability. We prioritised the implementation 
of robust systems and processes to underpin 
our ambitious growth vision for 2023 and 
beyond. 

Below I summarise our key priorities, the 
positive outcomes, and some insight into our 
plans for the road ahead. 

The Oliver’s Difference 

Oliver’s is the leader in providing a quality, 
‘real food’ offering in the Quick Service 
Restaurant (QSR) space. This is our unique 
point of difference and reflects the core values 
of our business. 

Our focus this year has been on further 
building a strong brand that aligns with this 
vision. New product packaging, signage, and 
billboards have been rolled out and we are 
working towards revised uniforms and a 
refreshed store look and feel.  

In 2023 our new tagline was also developed: 
‘Fast food you can feel good about.’ This will 
form a significant part of our vision moving 
forward. 

We want the ‘feel-good’ aspect to reflect all 
areas of the business from our teams, 
including staff training and support, to the store 
experience, including product quality and 
customer service. 

Natalie Sharpe 
CEO 

The Breakfast Egg Wrap was introduced mid 
last year and quickly became our highest 
selling menu item. Building on its success, we 
introduced the Haloumi Nourish Bowl in March 
2023. Since its launch, the Nourish Bowl has 
remained within our top 10 selling lines. 

We also introduced All Day Breakfast in May. 
This provides additional options during lunch 
and dinner time for those with special dietary 
needs and offers more price variation across 
our menu which has been well received by 
customers.  

Delivering quality product consistently is of 
high importance to us and is a key component 
of our feel-good fast food offering. For this 
reason, we decided to return the preparation of 
sandwiches into store, discontinuing the use of 
3rd party supply. We are also aiming to 
expand our organic menu options. A trial of 
organic chicken nuggets began in June - 
feedback has been very positive, and we will 
roll this out across the network in the coming 
months.  

With our core menu revamp nearing 
completion, our leadership team has turned its 
focus to operational improvements including 
new equipment and workflows to enhance 
product consistency and improve speed of 
service.  

Menu Enhancement and Expansion 

Investing in our People 

True to our core values, premium quality ‘real 
food’ that is fresh and natural has remained at 
the forefront of all menu development over the 
last 18 months.  

Along with providing a healthier take on the 
classics, we have also focused on offering 
innovative and nutritious menu items to our 
customers.  

At Oliver’s, we value our people and are 
committed to offering growth opportunities 
within the company. Many of our staff have 
been with Oliver’s for some time and we want 
to recognise and reward their passion, 
dedication, and commitment. 

In January, we partnered with Employment 
Innovations to implement our new employee 
framework. Along with offering more structure 

at store level, we now have Business Support 
Managers (BSMs) throughout the store 
network. The appointed BSMs have been 
internal promotions within the company, and 
each support a cluster of Oliver’s stores. The 
career development track to BSM enables staff 
growth and provides more visibility and 
support across the network to enhance store 
presentation, product consistency and 
customer experience. To further our 
commitment to our people, we also 
implemented an Employee Support Program 
(Me&Work) this year.  

We now work towards staff training and 
development with a strong focus on delivering 
exceptional customer service. This will be 
implemented both in person and digitally, and 
will also support the revamped menu, new 
equipment, and systems. 

Tech Foundations and Innovations 

A review and changes to our IT ecosystem 
during FY23 has been an important part of 
strengthening the foundations of the business. 
Adopting the right software and hardware 
solutions, and integrations, are critical to 
support our growth moving forward. We have 
also been eager to adopt tech innovations 
aimed at enhancing the customer experience. 

Our in-store Nutrition QR code gives us a 
unique point of difference, emphasises our 
commitment to providing nutritious options for 
special dietary needs, and gives our 
customers real time nutrition information about 
our products. 

Our two new sites, due to launch late 2023, 
will be the first with Drive Thru in NSW and we 
have been working with new-to-market AI 
technology to support our drive-thru and kiosk 
applications. This technology will streamline 
the ordering process, assist with upselling, and 
enable customers to ask specific questions 
related to their dietary requirements, 
preferences, and allergens. 

The Financial Highlights 

We ended FY23 with net profit after tax of $5.9 
million vs. a loss of $11.7 million in FY22. Net 
impairments were Nil vs. $9.7 million in FY22. 
The lease terminations at Geelong North and 
South, Peninsula Inbound and Outbound, and 
Eastlink Inbound and Outbound, resulted in a 
write back of lease liabilities of $6.4 million vs. 
$2.5 million in FY22. 

Overall EBITDAI, removing the effect of the 
writebacks, was a profit of $2.8 million vs. 
a loss of 31K in FY22. This is a significant 
result as it directly reflects the positive impact 
of the restructure and the efforts of both the 
Board and management. 

Improvements in procurement, supply chain 
efficiencies, and implementing our revised 
menu have increased gross margin from 54% 
in FY22 to 63% in FY23. This is a great 
achievement by the management team as it is 
very challenging to increase margins in the 
QSR space and, at the same time, improve the 
quality of our food offering.  

Now that we have stabilised the business and 
it has returned to profitability, we turn our 
attention to identifying strategic growth 
opportunities, while ensuring the positive gains 
from the last two years are protected and 
maximised. 

We still see great potential in furthering our 
success in select highway locations, but we 
are equally enthusiastic about the Inner-City 
model. This will be a slightly adapted business 
model with a stronger emphasis on grab-and-
go rather than restaurant menu. Locations will 
likely be high density business districts and 
transport hubs. I look forward to sharing more 
on this in FY24 as our plans are further 
developed.  

In the December quarter, we will welcome two 
new sites in Pheasants Nest. As mentioned, 
these will be our first sites in NSW with drive-
thru. The Hume Highway south of Sydney is 
one of the busiest in the country, and we have 
high expectations for revenue and contribution 
to the Company’s future profitability. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank 
Martin Green and the Board for their support 
as I have transitioned into the CEO role. I 
would also like to thank my leadership team 
who have worked very hard to implement a 
strong foundation for our next chapter.  

I am looking forward to building on Oliver’s 
success this year and driving growth in FY24.

Directors' report

Lease liability writeback
During the financial year, the consolidated entity completed negotiations with one of its Victorian landlords and has 
been released from the following six leases: 

 - Geelong North and South 
 - Peninsula Inbound and Outbound
 - Eastlink Inbound and Outbound

This was a significant and positive outcome for the consolidated entity, resulting in a writeback of the remaining 
lease liabilities in relation to these stores of $6,416,115. 

Significant changes in the state of affairs
On 18 November 2022, the company announced that it had entered into an agreement with two major shareholders 
and  its  funders  Michael  and  Suzanne  Gregg  and  Gelba  Pty.  Limited  ('principal  lenders')  to  restructure  the 
consolidated  entity's  debt  facility  ('Debt  Restructure').  This  Debt  Restructure  was  approved  at  the  Extraordinary 
General Meeting on 8 February 2023, as follows:
●
●

extend the terms of the General Security Deed ('GSD') to secure a further $1,000,000 of the Revolving Facility;
convert  $2,000,000  of  the  unsecured  component  of  the  Revolving  Facility  to  equity  via  the  placement  of 
80,000,000 of the Company's fully paid ordinary shares at a deemed issue price of $0.025 per share;
increase the unsecured Revolving Facility by $500,000;
extend the terms and repayment dates of the Revolving Facility as follows:
- the maturity date to be extended to 30 September 2028;
- in relation to the $1,500,000 owing under the Revolving Facility, repayments of $75,000 per quarter begin
  from 1 October 2023, with the first repayment due 31 December 2023; and
- in relation to the $1,000,000 owing under the Revolving Facility, repayments of $50,000 per quarter begin
  from 1 October 2023, with the first repayment due 31 December 2023.

●
●

Refer to note 16 to the financial statements for further details on the consolidated entity's borrowings.

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
On 27 July 2023 a new sub-lease was executed with Ampol Petroleum Australia Limited which secures the Wyong 
Northbound lease for five years and two 5-year options. The store will change location of the site and will operate 
from a new facility from late September 2023.

A further $500,000 in committed funding has been provided by Gelba Pty Ltd on 28 August 2023.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2023 that has significantly affected, or may significantly 
affect the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs 
in future financial years.

Likely developments and expected results of operations

FY2024 outlook
The recent interest rate rises, utility price increases as well as the general cost of living pressures, have impacted 
customer  sentiments  and  discretionary  spending  which  have  impacted  sales.  Management  have  put  into  place 
additional  measures  to  improve  sales  and  reduce  costs,  such  as  ending  the  use  of  third-party  suppliers  for 
sandwiches and returning to making fresh sandwiches in store. The consolidated entity has taken steps to increase 
its  gross  margins  by  introducing  new  nutritious  menu  items,  improving  in-store  displays  and  a  raft  of  marketing 
initiatives including social media campaigns. In addition, the consolidated entity has launched its new dinner menu 
this month and in FY 2024 we will be further developing its very successful breakfast menu.

The consolidated entity expects to finalise two new stores at Pheasant Nest, both of which will become flagship 
stores and which will drive additional revenues and profits.

Oliver's Real Food Limited
Directors' report
30 June 2023

Statements made by the auditor regarding going concern
The directors have prepared the financial statements on the basis that the consolidated entity is a going concern. 
Refer to note 2 to the financial statements for further information. The auditor has obtained sufficient appropriate 
audit evidence regarding the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting but 
has drawn attention to a material uncertainty in relation to going concern as disclosed within note 2 of the financial 
statements and accordingly within the audit report.

Material business risks
The following is a summary of material business risks that could adversely affect the consolidated entity's financial 
performance and growth potential in future years and how it may mitigate such risks.

Macroeconomic risks
As  purchases  of  food  from  Quick  Service  Restaurants  are  discretionary  for  many  customers,  the  consolidated 
entity’s financial performance can be impacted by reduced customer spending due to current and future economic 
conditions which it cannot control, such as increases in interest rates and inflation.

Further, there is a risk that the consolidated entity may be unable to deliver returns in accordance with its capital 
expenditure programme as a result of: underperformance of stores; changes to landlord approvals or rental terms; 
an inability to locate suitable sites for new stores; insufficient availability of professional builders to construct and 
develop new stores; or management demands reducing ability to execute defined strategies.

Identification of new sites and renewal of existing sites
The  consolidated  entity  envisages  an  aggressive  growth  strategy.  Unsuitable  new  sites,  delays  in  opening  new 
sites, reduced availability or excessive cost of real estate capable for use as new sites may impede the speed at 
which  the consolidated  entity ’s  growth  strategy  can  be  implemented.  For  existing  stores,  the consolidated 
entity cannot  guarantee  that  the  lease  will  be  renewed  at  the  end  of  the  term  resulting  in  the consolidated 
entity exiting a particular site.

Supply chain security
There is a risk of material disruption to the supply of fresh food and other packaged goods due to a natural disaster 
such  as  flooding  or  widespread  disease  to  crops  or  livestock.  Such  an  event  could  potentially  have  significant 
consequences for all stores, including loss of revenue, potential brand damage and increased costs from alternative 
arrangements.

Regulatory compliance, food safety and sanitation
The consolidated entity is subject to a number of Australian laws and regulations such as food hygiene laws, privacy 
laws and those relating to workplace health and safety. The consolidated entity maintains sufficient internal controls 
to ensure continued compliance. However, there is a risk that a serious food safety incident could occur at one of 
our  sites,  as  a  result  of  operational  lapse  in  procedures  or  malicious  tampering,  which  may  result  in:  a  loss  of 
revenue and brand reputation; closure of site where the incident occurred; and the payment to affected individuals 
of compensation and to the food authorities of a penalty or fine.

Environmental risks 
The consolidated entity is subject to a number of environmental risks, including climate change, water scarcity and 
waste  management.  The consolidated  entity's  operations  are  exposed  to  the  risks  of  climate  change,  including 
changes  in  weather  patterns,  sea  level  rise,  and  extreme  weather  events.  These  risks  could  have  a  significant 
impact on its operations, supply chain, and financial performance. The  consolidated entity's operations are also 
exposed to the risks of water scarcity. This could lead to increased costs for water and disruptions to operations. 
Finally the  consolidated entity's operations generate a significant amount of waste. This could lead to environmental 
damage, regulatory fines, and reputational risks.

Environmental regulation

Oliver's Real Food Limited
Directors' report
30 June 2023

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
The  objective  of  the  consolidated  entity's  executive  reward  framework  is  to  ensure  reward  for  performance  is 
competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement 
of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best 
practice for the delivery of reward. The Board of Directors ('the Board') ensures that executive reward satisfies the 
following key criteria for good reward governance practices:
●
●
●
●

competitiveness and reasonableness;
acceptability to shareholders;
performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation; and
transparency.

The  Nomination  and  Remuneration  Committee  is  responsible  for  determining  and  reviewing  remuneration 
arrangements for its directors and executives. The performance of the consolidated entity depends on the quality 
of its directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and 
high quality personnel.

The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders' interests. The Board has considered 
that it should seek to enhance shareholders' interests by:
●
●

having economic profit as a core component of plan design;
focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and 
delivering constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers 
of value; and
attracting and retaining high calibre executives.

●

Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance executives' interests by:
●
●
●

rewarding capability and experience;
reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth; and
providing a clear structure for earning rewards.

In  accordance  with  best  practice  corporate  governance,  the  structure  of  non-executive  director  and  executive 
director remuneration is separate.

Non-executive directors' remuneration
Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-executive 
directors'  fees  and  payments  are  reviewed  annually  by  the  Nomination  and  Remuneration  Committee.  The 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee may, from time to time, receive advice from independent remuneration 
consultants to ensure non-executive directors' fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market. The 
chairman's fees are determined independently to the fees of other non-executive directors based on comparative 
roles in the external market. The chairman is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of his own 
remuneration.

ASX  listing  rules  require  the  aggregate  non-executive  directors'  remuneration  be  determined  periodically  by  a 
general meeting. The most recent determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 29 November 2019, 
where the shareholders approved a maximum annual aggregate remuneration of $500,000.

Executive remuneration
The consolidated entity aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of 
remuneration which has both fixed and variable components.

The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components:
●
●
●
●

base pay and non-monetary benefits;
short-term performance incentives;
share-based payments; and
other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave.

The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration.

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually 
by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee based on individual and business unit performance, the overall 
performance of the consolidated entity and comparable market remunerations.

10

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Oliver's Real Food Limited
Directors' report
30 June 2023

Executives  may  receive  their  fixed  remuneration  in  the  form  of  cash  or  other  fringe  benefits  (for  example  motor 
vehicle benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the consolidated entity and provides additional 
value to the executive.

The short-term incentives ('STI') program is designed to align the targets of the business units with the performance 
hurdles  of  executives.  STI  payments  are  granted  to  executives  based  on  specific  annual  targets  and  key 
performance indicators ('KPI's') being achieved. KPI's include profit contribution, customer satisfaction, leadership 
contribution and product management.

The  long-term  incentives  ('LTI')  include  long  service  leave  and  share-based  payments.  Shares  are  awarded  to 
executives  over  a  period  of  three  years  based  on  long-term  incentive  measures.  These  include  increase  in 
shareholders'  value  relative  to  the  entire  market  and  the  increase  compared  to  the  consolidated  entity's  direct 
competitors.  The  Nomination  and  Remuneration  Committee  reviewed  the  long-term  equity-linked  performance 
incentives specifically for executives during the year ended 30 June 2023.

No STI's or LTI's have been paid or issued during the current or previous financial years.

Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration
Remuneration for certain individuals is directly linked to the performance of the consolidated entity. A portion of 
cash bonus and incentive payments are dependent on defined earnings per share targets being met. The remaining 
portion  of  the  cash  bonus  and  incentive  payments  are  at  the  discretion  of  the  Nomination  and  Remuneration 
Committee.

Details of the earnings and profitability for the last five years are as follows:

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is of the opinion that the continued improved results can be attributed 
in part to the adoption of performance based compensation and is satisfied that this improvement will continue to 
increase shareholder wealth, if it can be maintained over the coming years.

Share-based remuneration
The  consolidated  entity  operates  an  LTI  plan  for  eligible  senior  executives  (the  Oliver  Employee  Incentive  Plan 
('OEIP')) as a means of encouraging employees to share in the ownership of the company and promote its long-
term success as a common goal. The Board will make offers to persons to participate in the OEIP based on their 
contribution  to  the  consolidated  entity.  Under  the  terms  of  the  OEIP  the  Board  may  make  awards  of  options, 
performance rights, service rights, deferred share awards, exempt share awards, cash rights or stock appreciation 
rights.  No  offer  of  an  award  may  be  made  to  the  extent  it  breaches  the  Constitution,  the  Listing  Rules,  the 
Corporations Act or any other applicable law.

Indemnity and insurance of officers
The company has indemnified the directors and executives of the company for costs incurred, in their capacity as 
a director or executive, for which they may be held personally liable, except where there is a lack of good faith.

During the financial year, the company paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the directors and executives 
of the company against a liability to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance 
prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium.

Indemnity and insurance of auditor
The company has not, during or since the end of the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the auditor 
of the company or any related entity against a liability incurred by the auditor.

During the financial year, the company has not paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the auditor of the 
company or any related entity.

Proceedings on behalf of the company
No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings 
on behalf of the company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the company is a party for the purpose of 
taking responsibility on behalf of the company for all or part of those proceedings.

Non-audit services
Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the 
auditor are outlined in note 26 to the financial statements.

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by 
another person or firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors 
imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

The  directors  are  of  the  opinion  that  the  services  as  disclosed  in  note  26  to  the  financial  statements  do  not 
compromise  the  external  auditor's  independence  requirements  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001  for  the  following 
reasons:
●

all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and 
objectivity of the auditor; and
none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 
'Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants' issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards 
Board,  including  reviewing  or  auditing  the  auditor's  own  work,  acting  in  a  management  or  decision-making 
capacity for the company, acting as advocate for the company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2023

Note 1. General information

The financial statements cover Oliver's Real Food Limited (the 'company' or 'parent entity') as a consolidated entity 
consisting of Oliver's Real Food Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year (collectively 
referred to as the 'consolidated entity'). The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Oliver's 
Real Food Limited's functional and presentation currency.

Oliver's Real Food Limited (ABN: 33 166 495 441) is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and 
domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business is:

Level 1, 5 Lenton Place, North Rocks, NSW 2151

A  description  of  the  nature  of  the  consolidated  entity's  operations  and  its  principal  activities  are  included  in  the 
directors' report, which is not part of the financial statements.

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 30 August 2023. 
The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These 
policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued 
by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The 
adoption  of  these  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  did  not  have  any  significant  impact  on  the  financial 
performance or position of the consolidated entity. 

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

Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal 
business activities and the realisation of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The consolidated entity made a profit after tax of $5,891,237 (2022: loss of $11,669,877) and net cash inflows from 
operating activities of $1,172,225 (cash outflow 2022: $1,863,720) for the year ended 30 June 2023. As at 30 June 
2023, the statement of financial position reflected an excess of current liabilities over current assets of $5,749,006 
(2022: $6,701,385).

The directors believe that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation as the detailed 
cash  flow  forecast  prepared  by  management,  using  their  best  estimate  assumptions,  indicated  the  consolidated 
entity will meet its ongoing compliance with its financial undertakings in the 12 month period to August 2024. This 
is highly dependent on the ability of the business to operate in line with the detailed cash flow forecasts, the ongoing 
support of key lenders and future market conditions which are out of the control of the consolidated entity and, as a 
result, may be subject to change.

These factors indicate a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt as to whether the consolidated entity 
will continue as a going concern, and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the 
normal course of business and at the amounts in these financial statements.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

However,  the  directors  believe  that  the  consolidated  entity  will  be  able  to  continue  as  a  going  concern,  after 
consideration of the following factors:
●

the consolidated entity has support from two major shareholders and its funders Michael and Suzanne Gregg 
and Gelba Pty. Limited ('principal lenders') with undrawn facilities of $862,665 as of the date of this report which 
enables the consolidated entity to meet its financial obligations and capital requirements, should it be required;
the Board requested management prepare plans to further improve sales and profit, on what has already been 
achieved  and  continue  to  ensure  the  business  is  cash  flow  positive.  The  lease  for  Wyong  North  has  been 
renewed with Ampol Petroleum Australia Limited for 5 years with two 5-year options. Wyong North will be in a 
new fit out which opens in September 2023. This will be the first of a new look for the consolidated entity, which 
will be rolled across the network in coming years. Wyong South lease is in its final stages of being renewed, 
with terms of 5 year lease with two 5-year options. Wyong South will remain in current premises and will be 
refitted in the FY2025  financial year;
Part of that plan includes two new stores at Pheasants Nest which will open in November 2023 which will also 
include  drive-thru.  The  additional  capital  required  for  the  new  stores  has  been  agreed  to  be  funded  by  the 
lenders, $50,000 of which was drawn down at year end and $230,000 at the date of this report. In addition, a 
continuation  of  the  upgrade  to  existing  stores  and  equipment  to  enable  quick  and  efficient  service  in  the 
consolidated entity's current 16 QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) stores to drive additional revenue, will also 
be pursued.

●

●

Provided the consolidated entity achieves the commitments in the forecast and meet its legal obligations under the 
terms of the loans, the lenders will continue to support the consolidated entity. It is expected as per the FY2024 
forecast that accrued interest at year end and future interest will be paid by 31 December 2023, however interest 
and payment of principal will only occur if the consolidated entity has the financial capacity to do so.

Should  the  above  strategies  and  assumptions  not  materialise,  there  will  be  a  material  uncertainty  whether  the 
consolidated entity can continue as a going concern.

Based on the above, the directors are confident that the consolidated entity will meet its obligations and accordingly 
have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Accordingly,  no  adjustments  have  been  made  to  the  financial  statements  relating  to  the  recoverability  and 
classification of the asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary 
should the consolidated entity not continue as a going concern. At this time, the directors are of the opinion that no 
asset is likely to be realised for an amount less than the amount at which it is recorded in the financial statements 
as at the reporting date.

Basis of preparation
These  general  purpose  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting 
Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations 
Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International 
Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').

Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for derivative financial 
instruments.

Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires 
management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The 
areas  involving  a  higher  degree  of  judgement  or  complexity,  or  areas  where  assumptions  and  estimates  are 
significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3.

Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated 
entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 31.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2023

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Oliver's Real Food 
Limited as at 30 June 2023 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls 
an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the 
entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries 
are  fully  consolidated  from  the  date  on  which  control  is  transferred  to  the  consolidated  entity.  They  are  de-
consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany  transactions,  balances  and  unrealised  gains  on  transactions  between  entities  in  the  consolidated 
entity  are  eliminated.  Unrealised  losses  are  also  eliminated  unless  the  transaction  provides  evidence  of  the 
impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to 
ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership 
interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the 
consideration  transferred  and  the  book  value  of  the  share  of  the  non-controlling  interest  acquired  is  recognised 
directly in equity attributable to the parent.

Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities 
and  non-controlling  interest  in  the  subsidiary  together  with  any  cumulative  translation  differences  recognised  in 
equity.  The  consolidated  entity  recognises  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  received  and  the  fair  value  of  any 
investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.

Operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the 
same  basis  as  the  internal  reports  provided  to  the  Chief  Operating  Decision  Makers  ('CODM').  The  CODM  is 
responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

Revenue recognition
The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows:

Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the consolidated entity is expected to 
be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the 
consolidated entity: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; 
determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of 
money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-
alone  selling  price  of  each  distinct  good  or  service  to  be  delivered;  and  recognises  revenue  when  or  as  each 
performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services 
promised.

Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as 
discounts,  rebates  and  refunds,  any  potential  bonuses  receivable  from  the  customer  and  any  other  contingent 
events.  Such  estimates  are  determined  using  either  the  'expected  value'  or  'most  likely  amount'  method.  The 
measurement  of  variable  consideration  is  subject  to  a  constraining  principle  whereby  revenue  will  only  be 
recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue 
recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable 
consideration  is  subsequently  resolved.  Amounts  received  that  are  subject  to  the  constraining  principle  are 
recognised as a refund liability.

Sale of goods - retail
Revenue associated with the sale of goods is recognised when the performance obligation has been fulfilled and 
control of the goods has been transferred to the customer, which occurs at the point of sale when the goods are 
collected.

Oliver's Real Food Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2023

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Royalty revenue
Revenue associated with continuing licensees is recognised at a point in time as sales with the licensee occur. 
Revenue  associated  with  these  sales  are  invoiced  on  a  monthly  basis  and  payment  is  due  in  accordance  with 
contract due dates.

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

Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

Government grants
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match 
them  with  the  costs  that  they  are  intended  to  compensate.  Government  grants  are  recognised  when  there  is  a 
reasonable  assurance  that  the  grant  will  be  received,  and  all  attached  conditions  complied  with.  These  grants 
include BAC and CAC Training Grants from the New South Wales, Queensland and Victorian Governments and 
are disclosed as other income in profit or loss.

Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the 
applicable  income  tax  rate  for  each  jurisdiction,  adjusted  by  the  changes  in  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities 
attributable to temporary differences,  unused  tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where 
applicable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied 
when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively 
enacted, except for:
● when  the  deferred  income  tax  asset  or  liability  arises  from  the  initial  recognition  of  goodwill  or  an  asset  or 
liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither 
the accounting nor taxable profits; or

● when the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, 
and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse 
in the foreseeable future.

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

The  carrying  amount  of  recognised  and  unrecognised  deferred  tax  assets  are  reviewed  at  each  reporting  date. 
Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will 
be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised 
to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets 
against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same 
taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

Current and non-current classification
Assets  and  liabilities  are  presented  in  the  statement  of  financial  position  based  on  current  and  non-current 
classification.

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the 
consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised 
within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being 
exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified 
as non-current.

Oliver's Real Food Limited
Notes to the financial statements

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating 
cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; 
or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting 
period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, 
highly  liquid  investments  with  original  maturities  of  three  months  or  less  that  are  readily  convertible  to  known 
amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

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

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

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

Inventories
Finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a 'first in first out' basis. Cost comprises 
of purchase and delivery costs, net of rebates and discounts received or receivable.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of 
completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Derivative financial instruments
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently 
remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. 

Derivatives are classified as current or non-current depending on the expected period of realisation.

Investments and other financial assets
Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of 
the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently 
measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based 
on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the 
financial asset unless an accounting mismatch is being avoided.

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

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

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

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

For financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is 
recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding expense through profit or loss. In all other cases, 
the loss allowance reduces the asset's carrying value with a corresponding expense through profit or loss.

Property, plant and equipment
Plant  and  equipment  are  stated  at  historical  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  impairment.  Historical  cost 
includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Land is not depreciated.

Depreciation  is  calculated  on  a  straight-line  basis  to  write  off  the  net  cost  of  each  item  of  property,  plant  and 
equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:

Leasehold improvements
Plant and equipment
Motor vehicles

3-25 years
3-20 years
2-5 years

The  residual  values,  useful  lives  and  depreciation  methods  are  reviewed,  and  adjusted  if  appropriate,  at  each 
reporting date.

Leasehold  improvements  are  depreciated  over  the  term  of  the  lease  or  the  estimated  useful  life  of  the  assets, 
whichever is shorter.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit 
to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to 
profit or loss.

Right-of-use assets
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at 
cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made 
at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, 
except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and 
removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated 
useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain ownership of the 
leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are 
subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-
term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are 
expensed to profit or loss as incurred.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair 
value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite 
life  intangible  assets  are  not  amortised  and  are  subsequently  measured  at  cost  less  any  impairment.  Finite  life 
intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses 
recognised  in  profit  or  loss  arising  from  the  derecognition  of  intangible  assets  are  measured  as  the  difference 
between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of 
finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are 
accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.

Software
Significant costs associated with software are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of 
their expected benefit, being their finite useful life of between three to five years.

Reacquired rights
Reacquired rights represents the buyback of franchise territories are deferred and amortised over the period of the 
remaining lease term.

Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the 
carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's 
carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use 
is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to 
the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are 
grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.

Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the 
financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are 
not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

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

Lease liabilities
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the 
present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit 
in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated entity's incremental borrowing rate. Lease 
payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend 
on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase 
option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The 
variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are 
incurred.

The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are 
incurred. The  consolidated entity has used the optional practical expedient to treat rent concessions in the form of 
rent forgiveness or a waiver as a direct consequence of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and which relate to 
payments originally due on or before 30 June 2022 as variable lease payments. COVID-19 related rent concessions 
are recognised as other income in profit or loss.

Lease  liabilities  are  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  method.  The  carrying  amounts  are 
remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate 
used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability 
is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying 
amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

Finance costs
Finance  costs  attributable  to  qualifying  assets  are  capitalised  as  part  of  the  asset.  All  other  finance  costs  are 
expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result 
of a past event, it is probable the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate 
can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the 
consideration  required  to  settle  the  present  obligation  at  the  reporting  date,  taking  into  account  the  risks  and 
uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a 
current  pre-tax  rate  specific  to  the  liability.  The  increase  in  the  provision  resulting  from  the  passage  of  time  is 
recognised as a finance cost.

Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected 
to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when 
the liabilities are settled.

Other long-term employee benefits
The liabilities for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting 
date are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by 
employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience 
of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at 
the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as 
possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Defined contribution superannuation expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Share-based payments
Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees under the Oliver Employee Incentive 
Plan.

Equity-settled  transactions  are  awards  of  shares,  or  options  over  shares,  that  are  provided  to  employees  in 
exchange for the rendering of services.

The  cost  of  equity-settled  transactions  are  measured  at  fair  value  on  grant  date.  Fair  value  is  independently 
determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the 
option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the 
expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions 
that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive 
payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over 
the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the 
award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. 
The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date 
less amounts already recognised in previous periods.

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore, any awards subject to market 
conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all 
other conditions are satisfied.

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been 
made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases 
the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

If the non-vesting  condition is within the  control of  the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the 
condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee 
and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining 
vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining 
expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled 
and new award is treated as if they were a modification.

Fair value measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, 
the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly 
transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place 
either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, 
assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based 
on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value are those that are appropriate in the 
circumstances, and which maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable 
inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects 
the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date 
and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant 
to the fair value measurement.

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is 
either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market 
knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period 
to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation 
and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Oliver's Real Food Limited, 
excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary 
shares  outstanding  during  the  financial  year,  adjusted  for  bonus  elements  in  ordinary  shares  issued  during  the 
financial year.

Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into 
account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary 
shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation 
to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is 
not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset 
or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST 
recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other 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 tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax 
authority.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet 
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 
2023.  The  consolidated  entity's  assessment  of  the  impact  of  these  new  or  amended  Accounting  Standards  and 
Interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below.

Amending accounting standards
Amending accounting standards issued are not considered to have a significant impact on the financial statements 
of  the  consolidated  entity  as  their  amendments  provide  either  clarification  of  existing  accounting  treatment  or 
editorial amendments.

AASB 2020-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-
current
AASB 2020-1 is applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The 
amendments to AASB 101 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ clarify the requirements for the presentation of 
liabilities in the statement of financial position as current or non-current. The amendments require a liability to be 
classified as non-current if an entity has the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability 
for at least 12 months after the reporting period. If the deferral right is conditional, the right only exists if, at the end 
of  the  reporting  period,  those  conditions  have  been  complied  with.  Classification  of  a  liability  as  non-current  is 
unaffected by the likelihood that the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 
months after the reporting date or even if the entity settles the liability prior to issue of the financial statements. The 
meaning of settlement of a liability is also clarified.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions 
that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and 
estimates  in  relation  to  assets,  liabilities,  contingent  liabilities,  revenue  and  expenses.  Management  bases  its 
judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  on  historical  experience  and  on  other  various  factors,  including 
expectations  of  future  events,  management  believes  to  be  reasonable  under  the  circumstances.  The  resulting 
accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and 
assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and 
liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.

Conversion of debt into shares
With regard to the restructure of the consolidated entity's borrowings approved by shareholders on 8 February 
2023, the consolidated entity exercises judgement in determining whether the lenders of the consolidated entity 
are acting in their capacity as direct or indirect shareholders or as creditors. 

Fair value measurement hierarchy
The consolidated entity is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using a three level 
hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: Level 1: 
Quoted  prices  (unadjusted)  in  active  markets  for  identical  assets  or  liabilities  that  the  entity  can  access  at  the 
measurement  date;  Level  2:  Inputs  other  than  quoted  prices  included  within  Level  1  that  are  observable  for  the 
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Considerable 
judgement is required to determine what is significant to fair value and therefore which category the asset or liability 
is placed in can be subjective.

The fair value of assets and liabilities classified as level 3 is determined by the use of valuation models. These 
include discounted cash flow analysis or the use of observable inputs that require significant adjustments based on 
unobservable inputs.

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

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
The consolidated entity assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life 
intangible  assets  at  each  reporting  date  by  evaluating  conditions  specific  to  the  consolidated  entity  and  to  the 
particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is 
determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number 
of key estimates and assumptions. Refer to note 23 for further details.

Lease term
The  lease  term  is  a  significant  component  in  the  measurement  of  both  the  right-of-use  asset  and  lease  liability. 
Judgement is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease or 
purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when 
ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances 
that create an economical incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, are 
considered at the lease commencement date. Factors considered may include the importance of the asset to the 
consolidated  entity's  operations;  comparison  of  terms  and  conditions  to  prevailing  market  rates;  incurrence  of 
significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and disruption to replace the 
asset. The consolidated entity reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not 
exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances.

Derivative financial instruments
Forward foreign exchange contracts, designated as cash flow hedges, are measured at fair value. Reliance is placed 
on  future  cash  flows  and  judgement  is  made  on  a  regular  basis,  through  prospective  and  retrospective  testing, 
including at the reporting date, that the hedges are still highly effective.

Employee benefits provision
As discussed in note 2, the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the 
reporting date are recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in 
respect of all employees at the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition 
rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account.

Lease make good provision
A provision has been made for the present value of anticipated costs for future restoration of leased premises. The 
provision includes future cost estimates associated with closure of the premises. The calculation of this provision 
requires assumptions such as application of closure dates and cost estimates. The provision recognised for each 
site is periodically reviewed and updated based on the facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes to 
the estimated future costs for sites are recognised in the statement of financial position by adjusting the asset and 
the provision. Reductions in the provision that exceed the carrying amount of the asset will be recognised in profit 
or loss.

Note 4. Operating segments

Identification of reportable operating segments
The  consolidated  entity  is  organised  into  one  operating  segment  being  Quick  Service  Restaurants  in  Australia. 
These operating segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors 
(who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining 
the allocation of resources. There is no aggregation of operating segments.

The  CODM  reviews  earnings  before  interest,  tax,  depreciation,  amortisation  and  impairment  ('EBITDAI').  The 
accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial 
statements.

The information reported to the CODM is on a monthly basis.

Note 13. Right-of-use assets (continued)

The consolidated entity leases land and buildings for its offices, warehouses and retail outlets under agreements of 
between 1 to 20 years with, in some cases, options to extend. The leases have various escalation clauses. On 
renewal, the terms of the leases are renegotiated. 

The consolidated entity leases office equipment under agreements of less than 12 months. These leases are either 
short-term or low-value, so have been expensed as incurred and not capitalised as right-of-use assets.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 19. Issued capital (continued)

Capital risk management
The consolidated entity's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, 
so  that  it  can  provide  returns  for  shareholders  and  benefits  for  other  stakeholders  and  to  maintain  an  optimum 
capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is 
calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the consolidated entity may adjust the amount of dividends paid 
to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was 
seen as value adding relative to the current company's share price at the time of the investment. The consolidated 
entity is not actively pursuing additional investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing 
businesses in order to maximise synergies.

The consolidated entity is subject to certain financing arrangements covenants and meeting these is given priority 
in  all  capital  risk  management  decisions.  There  have  been  no  events  of  default  on  the  financing  arrangements 
during the financial year.

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 2022 Annual Report.

Note 23. Impairment testing

The consolidated entity assesses impairment of non-financial assets, except indefinite life intangible assets, at each 
reporting period by evaluating conditions specific to the consolidated entity and to the particular asset that may lead 
to impairment. If an impairment indicator exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. An impairment 
exists when the carrying amount of the CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.

cash flows independent of each other stores. Similarly, the financial results of the consolidated entity are reported 
on a store-by-store basis and decisions to continue or dispose of assets are made at this same level.

The  recoverable  amount  of  the  CGU  has  been  determined  by  using  value-in-use  ('VIU')  calculations.  The  VIU 
calculations  use  cash  flow  projections  based  on  financial  budgets  approved  by  management  and  the  Board  of 
Directors covering the remaining lease period of each CGU.

Impairment testing results
The  consolidated  entity  assessed  impairment  indicators  across  its  16  CGU's  and  identified  4  CGU's  that  had 
indicators of impairment. The CGU's identified to have impairment indicators were:

 - Hexham
 - Lithgow
 - Maryborough
 - Port Macquarie

The recoverable amount of these CGU's have been determined by using value-in-use ('VIU') calculations. The VIU 
calculations  use  cash  flow  projections  based  on  financial  budgets  approved  by  management  and  the  Board  of 
Directors covering the remaining lease period of each identified CGU.

As at 30 June 2023, no impairment charge was recognised in relation to these CGU's. The results were as follows:

Sensitivity
In  order  to  assess  any  estimation  uncertainty,  the  consolidated  entity  performed  sensitivity  analysis  on  the 
impairment calculations presented in these financial statements for the 4 CGU's. In the event that that the stores 
trading revenue improved by 10%, the existing headroom would be further extended. In the event the stores trading 
revenue declined by 10%, the consolidated entity would need to recognise an impairment of $36,960 which would 
be distributed proportionally between property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets of these stores.

Notwithstanding the above, the carrying values in respect of the CGU against which an impairment loss has been 
recognised  continue  to  be  sensitive  to  a  range  of  assumptions,  in  particular  the  growth  rates  in  the  cash  flow 
forecasts.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2023

Note 24. Financial instruments

Financial risk management objectives
The consolidated entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency 
risk, price risk and interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated entity's overall risk management 
program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the 
financial performance of the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity uses different methods to measure different 
types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate and other 
price risks and ageing analysis for credit risk.

Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of 
Directors ('the Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the consolidated 
entity and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and manages financial risks 
within the consolidated entity. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis.

Market risk

The consolidated entity is not exposed to any significant foreign currency risk.

Price risk
The consolidated entity is not exposed to any significant price risk.

Interest rate risk
The consolidated entity's main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings obtained at variable 
rates expose the consolidated entity to interest rate risk. Borrowings obtained at fixed rates expose the consolidated 
entity to fair value interest rate risk.

The consolidated entity had loans from related parties outstanding were $8,712,335 (2022: $8,500,000) with fixed 
interest rate of 7.3% (2022: 5.25%). The consolidated entity did not have any variable rate interest borrowings.

Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to 
the  consolidated  entity.  The  consolidated  entity  has  a  strict  code  of  credit,  including  obtaining  agency  credit 
information, confirming references and setting appropriate credit limits. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the 
reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those 
assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The consolidated 
entity does not hold any collateral.

The consolidated entity has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade 
receivables through the use of a provisions matrix using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are 
considered  representative  across  all  customers  of  the  consolidated  entity  based  on  recent  sales  experience, 
historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is available.

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

Liquidity risk
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the consolidated entity to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash 
and cash equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and 
payable.

The  consolidated  entity  manages  liquidity  risk  by  maintaining  adequate  cash  reserves  and  available  borrowing 
facilities by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial 
assets and liabilities.

Note 25. Fair value measurement

Fair value hierarchy
The following tables detail the consolidated entity's assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using 
a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, 
being:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at 
the measurement date
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either 
directly or indirectly
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

There were no transfers between levels during the financial year.

The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate 
their fair values due to their short-term nature.

The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual maturities at the current 
market interest rate that is available for similar financial liabilities.

Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within level 2 and level 3
Derivative financial instruments have been valued using quoted market rates. This valuation technique maximises 
the use of observable market data where it is available and relies as little as possible on entity specific estimates.

T +61 2 8297 2400 

We have audited the financial report of Oliver’s Real Food Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the 
Consolidated Entity), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023, 
the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of 
changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the 
consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the Directors’ 
declaration.  

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Consolidated Entity is in accordance with the 
Corporations Act 2001, including: 

a  giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2023 and of its 

performance for the year ended on that date; and 

b  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 (including Independence 
Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled 
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

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

Material uncertainty related to going concern 

We draw attention to Note 2 in the financial statements, which indicates that as at 30 June 2023 the 
Consolidated Entity’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $5,749,007, and has a net deficiency in 
assets of $15,320,555. As stated in Note 2, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in 
Note 2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the Consolidated Entity’s ability to 
continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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.  

In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have 
determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. 

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Impairment assessment of property, plant and, 
equipment and right of use assets – note 23 
AASB 136 Impairment of Assets requires entities to 
assess at the end of each reporting period whether 
there is any indication that an asset or CGU may be 
impaired. The entity shall estimate the asset’s or 
CGU’s recoverable amount if any indication exists. 

The carrying amounts of the CGUs being the individual 
stores that had impairment indicators were assessed 
by management for impairment by estimating their 
recoverable amount using a value-in-use method per 
AASB 136.  

Significant judgements and estimates are involved in 
determining the recoverable amount. These include, 
but are not limited to, forecasting future cash flows and 
applying an appropriate discount rate. Due to the 
required judgements and estimates, we have 
considered this a key audit matter. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

• Obtaining management's assessment of impairment

indicators under AASB 136 and reviewing for
reasonableness;

• Assessing management's assessment of the
Consolidated Entity's Cash Generating Units
(CGUs);

• Reviewing the impairment model for compliance

with AASB 136;

• Verifying the mathematical accuracy of the

underlying model calculations and assessing the
appropriateness of the methodologies applied;

• Reviewing the key inputs of the model and

corroborating key assumptions against supporting
documentation;

• Considering the appropriateness of revenue growth
assumptions in management's forecast of cash
flows in the current and future operating
environments based on historical ability to forecast;

• Performing sensitivity analysis on the significant

inputs and assumptions made by management in
preparing the value-in-use calculation; and

• Assessing the adequacy of disclosures in the

financial report.

Partial conversion of debt with related parties to 
equity – note 16 and 19 
Oliver’s Real Food Limited completed the restructuring 
of its debt facilities, by extending the facilities available, 
converting a component of the debt to equity and 
extending the terms and repayment dates. 

AASB 9 Financial Instruments provides guidance 
regarding whether an exchange between a borrower 
and lender of debt instruments should be accounted for 
as a modification or an extinguishment of the original 
facility and recognition of a new financial liability. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

• Reviewed management’s expert’s accounting

memorandum in respect of the debt modification
during the period, we specifically assessed the
following:

- Whether the creditors were acting in their

capacity as a direct or indirect shareholder;

-

The appropriateness of the accounting policy
developed and applied;

#10417878v3 

55

Grant Thornton Australia Limited 

Extinguishment accounting is required if the terms of 
the existing and modified instruments are considered 
‘substantially different’, which is a qualitative 
assessment, or if there is at least a 10% change in the 
net present value of future cash flows, which is a 
quantitative assessment.  

However, the application of the AASB 9 guidance is 
more complex in scenarios where the creditor is also a 
shareholder and acting in its capacity as a shareholder. 
Neither AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation 
nor AASB 9 specifically addresses the accounting 
treatment to be adopted where an entity issues non-
convertible debt but subsequently enters into an 
agreement to discharge all or part of the liability in 
exchange for an issue of equity, which has occurred in 
this instance.  

Due to the significance of the debt facilities to the 
Consolidated Entity’s balance sheet and the significant 
judgement involved in the application of accounting 
standards in this transaction, we have considered this 
a key audit matter. 

- Whether the modification of terms for the debt

should be accounted for as a modification or an
extinguishment; and

-

Assuming the debt should be accounted for as
an extinguishment, assessed the fair value of
the new debt undertaken for appropriateness,
which involved management assessing what
market rate interest can be obtained on the
modified debt.

•

In consultation with our technical accounting team,
review the accounting memorandum prepared by
management’s expert to assess the accounting
treatment and market interest rate used to
determine the appropriateness of the position taken;

• Evaluated the competence, capability and objectivity

of management’s expert for the accounting
treatment and market interest rate assessment;

• Reviewed the calculations prepared by

management’s expert to ensure they were
appropriate;

• Obtained direct confirmation from the lenders to
confirm the principal debt amounts and interest
outstanding; and

• Assessed the adequacy of disclosures in the

financial statements, including the disclosure of
significant judgements and policies adopted.

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 Consolidated Entity’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2023, 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 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 Consolidated Entity’s ability to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going 
concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Consolidated Entity or to cease 
operations, or have 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/auditors_responsibilities/ar1_2020.pdf.This 
description forms part of our auditor’s report.
