Chairman and CEO’s Letter

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS,

Before we reflect on the financial year ending 30 June 2020, it is 
important to take a step back and look at where this business 
has come from, where it stands today and where we are going 
in the future. 

In 2018, Pureprofile set upon a turnaround strategy that is 
today substantially complete. Most importantly, we’ve defined 
and focused the business on data acquisition, analytics 
and insights. Without distractions and legacy issues, we’ve 
significantly reduced operating costs, whilst embracing 
innovative technologies that have allowed us to automate and 
give us the momentum to scale globally and profitably. 

As a focused ResTech (Research Technology) offering, it was 
important that we structure the business as a global operation, 
and today, we’re pleased to say that Pureprofile is enjoying 
tremendous growth in both the Northern and
Southern hemispheres.

Since year-end FY20 two critical aspects of the business and 
the turnaround strategy have been completed.

First, we have appointed a new CEO and I’m delighted to 
be writing this shareholder letter together with Martin Filz. 
Martin is an industry expert and one of the most respected 
professionals in our industry. With Martin leading the team and 
joining the board we have further focused the company as a 
data business, we have significantly refreshed the executive 
team and continued to invest in technology and a business 
model that allows us to grow simultaneously in many markets.

The second, post year-end activity has been to recapitalise 
the business. Earlier this month (October 2020), Pureprofile 
announced that Lucerne, a long-term lender and supporter 
of the business, would convert the majority of the business’ 
debt into equity, forgive a portion of that debt and provide a 
new loan facility for the business’ growth. The business also 
undertook to raise fresh capital from shareholders through a 
Rights Issue.

The recapitalisation of Pureprofile is the final step in a 
turnaround strategy that leaves the company substantially 
unencumbered by debt, with cash in the bank and positioned 
for growth and expansion.

Operationally, Pureprofile has already been performing strongly 
the past year. EBITDA grew from -1.7 million FY19 to  $1.6 
million in FY20, and all forecasts suggest this momentum will 
accelerate further.

There are also two significant global “mega trends” that are 
shaping the world we live in today, both central to Pureprofile’s 
world of data acquisition, analytics and insights.

The first is the digital economy, which has been growing fast 
over many decades, and has received a boost in 2020 with 
COVID-19 effectively forcing large sectors of the global economy 
into online and digital-only consumer engagement. 

The scale and long-term effect of this seismic shift in the flow of 
money through the economy and how brands reach consumers 
cannot be underestimated. 

Second, is the rise of privacy as a central consumer right. 
Google’s decision to move away from cookies is the most 
obvious example of how our digital world will fundamentally 
change, not sometime in the future but today. The flow of data 
is and will increasingly be monitored and ensuring basic privacy 
rights has become a major global challenge.

Pureprofile is now strategically positioned with first party data 
acquisition, analysis and insights allowing us to grow revenue, 
margins, and profits. Importantly, we have a well-resourced and 
focused team with a clear and defined business model where 
we are capable of significantly increasing our market share in an 
industry that itself is growing dramatically. 

PUREPROFILE IS NOW STRATEGICALLY POSITIONED WITH FIRST PARTY DATA 
ACQUISITION, ANALYSIS AND INSIGHTS ALLOWING US TO GROW REVENUE, 
MARGINS, AND PROFITS.

With the team that is open to change and understands 
where the insights and media industry is heading it has been 
collective work to outline the strategy for the next 3 years. We’re 
delighted to be leading Pureprofile with tremendous upside 
and we believe investors should be similarly excited about the 
company’s future.

As always, we’d like to thank the board for their commitment 
and contribution over the year. And we’d also like to thank our 
talented and hard-working staff across the globe for all their 
efforts. To our shareholders, thank you for your continued 
support, we believe that FY2021 will be a year in which 
Pureprofile will grow from a position of strength and begin to 
unlock shareholder value.

The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as 
the  'group')  consisting  of  Pureprofile  Ltd  (referred  to  hereafter  as  the  'company'  or  'parent  entity')  and  the  entities  it 
controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2020.

Directors
The  following  persons  were  directors  of  Pureprofile  Ltd  during  the  whole  of  the  financial  year  and  up  to  the  date  of  this 
report, unless otherwise stated:

Andrew Edwards - Non-Executive Chairman (formerly Non-Executive, appointed Executive on 28 August 2019 and re-
appointed Non-Executive on 2 September 2020)  
Sue Klose - Non-Executive Director 
Martin Filz - Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director (appointed Chief Executive Officer on 3 August 2020 and 
appointed Managing Director on 2 September 2020)
Aaryn Nania - Non-Executive Director (appointed on 28 August 2019 and resigned on 2 September 2020)
Nic Jones - Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (resigned on 28 August 2019)

Principal activities
During the financial year the principal continuing activities of the group consisted of the provision of profile marketing and 
insights technology services.

Dividends
There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year.

Review of operations
The loss for the group after providing for income tax amounted to $9,829,481 (30 June 2019: $14,460,042).

Earnings  before  interest,  tax,  depreciation  and  amortisation  (‘EBITDA’)  for  the  financial  year  amounted  to  a  profit  of 
$1,401,152 (30 June 2019: loss of $713,742).

EBITDA  is  a  financial  measure  which  is  not  prescribed  by  Australian  Accounting  Standards  (‘AAS’)  and  represents  the 
profit under AAS adjusted for non-specific non-cash and significant items.

The following table summarises key reconciling items between statutory loss after income tax and EBITDA:

Loss after income tax
Add: Depreciation and amortisation
Add: Impairment of assets
Add: Loss on disposal of intangible assets
Add: Derecognition of goodwill on disposal of businesses
Less: Interest income
Add: Finance costs

The  group  has  adopted  Accounting  Standard  AASB  16  'Leases'  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2020  using  the  modified 
retrospective approach and as such the comparatives have not been restated. As a result of adopting AASB 16, EBITDA 
has  improved  in  the  current  period.  Operating  expenses  are  now  replaced  by  depreciation  and  finance  costs  in  profit  or 
loss.

Total statutory revenue for FY2020 was $24.2m, a decline of 36% on prior comparable period ('pcp') (FY2019: $37.8m). 
However,  the  decline  was  largely  due  to  the  group  not  having  the  benefit  of  full-year  results  of  the  Media  Trading  and 
Performance  (ANZ)  businesses,  which  were  sold  in  October  2018  and  March  2019  respectively.  Additionally,  COVID-19 
negatively impacted all business units in Q4 of FY2020.

On  a  continuing  business  basis,  total  revenue  was  $25.1m,  a  7%  decrease  on  pcp  (FY2019:  $27m).  Revenue  was 
impacted by COVID19 in Q4 FY2020 This resulted in the continued Media and Performance business declining on pcp and 
growth in the core Data and Insights business improving slightly with a 3% increase on pcp.  

Gross margin remained stable at 58%. Other operating expenses were $13m, a 25% decrease on pcp (FY2019: $17.4m). 
This was achieved due to the success of the cost restructuring program implemented in prior years. During FY2020, the 
Executive team was restructured and other savings were realised through automation of business processes, technology 
rationalisation and occupancy.

The  reduction  in  operating  expenses  during  FY2020  had  a  positive  impact  on  EBITDA  on  continuing  businesses,  which 
improved by 197%, up from ($1.7m) in FY2019 to $1.6m in FY2020. Statutory net profit (loss) after tax was also improved 
by 32% (FY2020: ($9.8m); FY2019: ($14.5m)), largely due to the sale of loss making business units and any associated 
non-cash write-downs of intangibles that were recognised in FY2019.

Significant changes in the state of affairs
The following significant changes in the state of affairs occurred during the year:

Board  resignations:  Mr  Nic  Jones,  Managing  Director  and  Chief  Executive  Officer,  resigned  from  the  Board  on  28 
August 2019.
Debt facilities: the group agreed amended terms on its existing debt facility with Lucerne Finance Pty Ltd ('Lucerne)'. 
Under the revised terms, the group extended the maturity date to 1 April 2021 and secured an increase in the line of 
credit  for  Facility  C  to  $7,000,000.  Additionally,  all  facility  covenants  were  removed.  There  are  no  other  financial 
covenants  under  the  Facility.  The  Facility  was  further  amended  on  19  October  2020  (for  further  information,  see 
below).

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

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
On 19 October 2020, the group announced to the ASX that it was undertaking a fully underwritten renounceable pro-rata 
entitlement offer of 8 shares for every 1 share held by eligible shareholders to raise up to $18,804,170 (before expenses 
and  subject  to  rounding)  (the  Entitlement  Offer) and  the  group  intended  to  use  the  proceeds  of  the  Entitlement  Offer  as 
follows:

significantly restructure its balance sheet by converting a large proportion of the group’s debt to equity;
partially pay down the group’s existing debt to $3,000,000;
inject further funds into the sales team and global panel partnership;
commercialisation of the group’s technology;
provide working capital for the group; and
pay the costs of the Entitlement Offer.

On 19 October 2020, the group and its existing lender, Lucerne, entered into a new agreement in respect of its debt facility 
(the New Facility), which is conditional on the completion of the Entitlement Offer outlined above.

Key terms of the agreement:

●      Debt forgiveness - following completion of the Entitlement Offer and allocation of funds under that offer against the
        existing debt, the remaining balance of the facilities (~ $7,300,000 of debt as at 30 September 2020) will be forgiven;
●      New $3,000,000 Facility - replacing the previous facilities will be a new, fully-drawn $3,000,000 loan facility;
●      Interest on New Facility - interest rate of 8.5% per annum (payable quarterly);
●      Maturity of New Facility - 3 years from the date of completion of the Entitlement Offer and payable in advance at the
        group’s discretion;
●      No performance covenants - the New Facility does not contain business performance covenants; and
●      Performance rights cancelled - the performance rights that were previously issued to Lucerne have been cancelled.

The New Facility is subject to warranties, indemnities, fees and default fees and terms, which the group considers usual for 
a transaction of this size and scope.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect 
the group's operations, the results of those operations, or the group's state of affairs in future financial years.

Likely developments and expected results of operations
Information  on  likely  developments  in  the  operations  of  the  group  and  the  expected  results  of  operations  have  not  been 
included in this report because the directors believe it would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the group.

The  group  will  continue  to  build  on  its  core  Data  and  Analytics  assets  while  leveraging  them  through  commercial 
applications such as its self-service platform. The group’s corporate strategy is three-fold:

(1) Focus on building a stronger and more diverse global panel and add complementary data sources through acquisition 

and partnerships.

(2) Begin distribution of our Saas self-service insights platform.
(3) Leverage Pureprofile’s proprietary data.

Although the economic outlook for the year ahead is uncertain, we will focus on the execution of our corporate strategy and 
investment to drive earnings growth and positive cash flows from operating activities. 

Environmental regulation
The group is not subject to any significant environmental regulation under Australian Commonwealth or State law.

activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors.

The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
The  objective  of  the  group'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 reviewing and making recommendations to the Board on 
remuneration packages and policies relating to the directors and executives and to ensure that the remuneration policies 
and practices are consistent with the group's strategic goals and human resource objectives.

In consultation with external remuneration consultants who were engaged in previous financial years, the Nomination and 
Remuneration  Committee  has  structured  an  executive  remuneration  framework  that  is  market  competitive  and 
complementary to the reward strategy of the group.

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.

Directors' report
30 June 2020

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.  Non-executive 
directors do not receive short-term incentives and their remuneration must not include a commission on, or a percentage 
of, operating revenue.

ASX  listing  rules  require  the  aggregate  non-executive  directors  remuneration  be  determined  periodically  by  a  general 
meeting. Under the company’s constitution and as set out in the IPO Prospectus, total aggregate remuneration available to 
non-executive directors is set currently at $600,000 per annum. Non-executive director fees (directors' fees and committee 
fees, inclusive of superannuation) proposed for the year ending 30 June 2021 are summarised as follows:

Sue Klose
Andrew Edwards*

Reverted to Non-Executive Chairman on 2 September 2020.

FY 2021 Fees

$64,167
$120,450

All directors are also eligible for additional long term incentives under the company's Long Term Incentive plan ('LTI'). The 
company from time to time grant director share options under the LTI. Refer to Long Term Incentives section below for key 
terms and conditions of the LTI.

Executive remuneration
The group 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.  The  remuneration  packages  for  executives  are 
considered by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board. At the absolute discretion of the 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the company may seek external advice on the appropriate level and structure 
of remuneration packages from time to time.

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

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 group 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. Under the STI, eligible executives may be offered cash incentives ('rewards') which may be subject 
to vesting conditions set by the Board. Each offer of rewards under the STI is, or will be, on the terms generally described 
as follows:
●
●

the Board will determine the total dollar amount of the STI, calculated as a percentage of their salary package;
the payment (or part payment) of the STI will be subject to fulfilment (or part fulfilment) of performance conditions set 
by the Board;
any STI that becomes payable will be paid in cash and, at the discretion of the Board, by the grant of rights to receive 
shares ('service rights') of equivalent value (as determined by the Board at the time of grant);
if granted, the service rights will vest 13 months from grant date provided that the eligible employee is still employed 
by the company at the vesting date;
on vesting employees  will receive the shares  that are  subject to the service rights without payment of any exercise 
price;
service right holders are not entitled to participate in new issues of shares or other securities made by the company to 
holders  of  shares  without  receiving  the  shares  that  are  subject  to  the  service  rights  before  the  record  date  for  the 
relevant issue;
if, prior to the receipt of shares that are subject to the service right, the company makes a pro rata bonus issue to the 
holders  of  its  shares,  and  the  shares  that  are  subject  to  the  service  right  are  not  issued  prior  to  the  record  date  in 
respect  of  that  bonus  issue,  the  service  right  will,  when  vested,  entitle  the  holder  to  one  share  plus  the  number  of 
bonus shares which would have been issued to the holder if the shares that are subject to the service right had been 
issued prior to the record date; and
if, prior to the receipt of shares that are subject to the service right, the company undergoes a reorganisation of capital 
(other than by way of a bonus issue for cash), the terms of the service rights will be changed to the extent necessary 
to comply with the ASX Listing Rules as they apply at the relevant time.

●

●

The  long-term  incentives  include  long  service  leave  and  share-based  payments.  The  company  has  adopted  a  long  term 
incentive plan ('LTI') in order to assist in the motivation and retention of key staff. The LTI is designed to align the interest 
of  eligible  executives  and  employees  more  closely  with  the  interests  of  the  shareholders  by  providing  an  opportunity  for 
eligible executives and employees to receive an equity interest in the company.

Under the LTI, eligible executives and employees may be given options to acquire shares which may be subject to vesting 
conditions set by the Board. Each grant of options under the LTI is, or will be, on the terms generally described as follows:
●
●
●
●
●

the Board will determine the number of options to be granted to each eligible employee;
options will vest progressively over the periods which were determined by the Board at the time of the grant;
the expiration date will be determined by the Board at the time of the grant;
the exercise price is set by the Board at the time of the grant;
options  holders  are  not  entitled  to  participate  in  new  issues  of  shares  or  other  securities  made  by  the  company  to 
holders of shares without exercising the options before the record date for the relevant issue;
if, prior to the exercise of an option, the company makes a pro rata bonus issue to the holders of its shares, and the 
option is not exercised prior to the record date in respect of that bonus issue, the option will, when vested, entitle the 
holder to one share plus the number of bonus shares which would have been issued to the holder if the option had 
been exercised prior to the record date; and
if, prior to the exercise of an option, the company undergoes a reorganisation of capital (other than by way of a bonus 
issue for cash), the terms of the options will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules 
as they apply at the relevant time.

Group performance and link to remuneration
Remuneration  for  certain  individuals  is  directly  linked  to  the  performance  of  the  group.  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. 

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is of the opinion that the adoption of performance based compensation will 
have  a  positive  impact  on  its  earnings,  which  in  turn  will  have  a  positive  impact  on  its  share  price.  This  is  expected  to 
increase shareholder wealth if maintained over the coming years.

Consequences of performance on shareholder wealth
In considering the group's performance and benefits to shareholder wealth, the remuneration committee has had regard to 
the share price in respect of the current financial year and the previous three financial years.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2020

Note 1. General information

The financial statements cover Pureprofile Ltd as a group consisting of Pureprofile Ltd and the entities it controlled at the 
end of, or during, the year. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Pureprofile Ltd's functional 
and presentation currency.

Pureprofile Ltd is a listed public company limited  by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office 
and principal place of business are:

Registered office

Level 5
126 Phillip Street
Sydney NSW 2000
Australia

Principal place of business

Level 3
223 Liverpool Street
Darlinghurst NSW 2010
Australia

A description of the nature of the group'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 27 October 2020. 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  group  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.

With  the  exception  of  AASB  2020-4  Amendment  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  -  Covid-19  -  Related  Rent 
Concessions,  any  new  or  amended  Accounting  Standards  or  Interpretations  that  are  not  yet  mandatory  have  not  been 
early adopted.

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the group:

Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax
The  group  has  adopted  Interpretation  23  from  1  July  2019.  The  interpretation  clarifies  how  to  apply  the  recognition  and 
measurement  requirements  of  AASB  112  ‘Income  Taxes’  in  circumstances  where  uncertain  tax  treatments  exists.  The 
interpretation  requires:  the  group  to  determine  whether  each  uncertain  tax  treatment  should  be  treated  separately  or 
together,  based  on  which  approach  better  predicts  the  resolution  of  the  uncertainty;  the  group  to  consider  whether  it  is 
probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment; and if the group concludes that it is not probable 
that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, it shall reflect the effect of uncertainty in determining the 
related taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits or tax rates, measuring the tax uncertainty 
based  on  either  the  most  likely  amount  or  the  expected  value.  In  making  the  assessment  it  is  assumed  that  a  taxation 
authority will examine amounts it has a right to examine and have full knowledge of all related information when making 
those  examinations. Interpretation  23  was  adopted  using  the  modified  retrospective approach  and  as  such  comparatives 
have not been restated. There was no impact of adoption on opening accumulated losses as at 1 July 2019.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

AASB 16 Leases
The group has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees eliminates 
the  classifications  of  operating  leases  and  finance  leases.  Except  for  short-term  leases  and  leases  of  low-value  assets, 
right-of-use  assets  and  corresponding  lease  liabilities  are  recognised  in  the  statement  of  financial  position.  Straight-line 
operating  lease  expense  recognition  is  replaced  with  a  depreciation  charge  for  the  right-of-use  assets  (included  in 
operating  costs)  and  an  interest  expense  on  the  recognised  lease  liabilities  (included  in  finance  costs).  In  the  earlier 
periods  of  the  lease,  the  expenses  associated  with  the  lease  under  AASB  16  will  be  higher  when  compared  to  lease 
expenses  under  AASB  117.  However,  EBITDA  (Earnings  Before  Interest,  Tax,  Depreciation  and  Amortisation)  results 
improve as the operating expense is now replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss. For classification 
within the statement of cash flows, the interest portion is disclosed in operating activities and the principal portion of the 
lease payments are separately disclosed in financing activities. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially 
change how a lessor accounts for leases.

When adopting AASB 16 from 1 July 2019, the group has applied the following practical expedients:

applying a single discount rate to the portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics;
accounting for leases with a remaining lease term of 12 months as at 1 July 2019 as short-term leases;
excluding any initial direct costs from the measurement of right-of-use assets;
using hindsight in determining the lease term when the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease; and
not apply AASB 16 to contracts that were not previously identified as containing a lease.

Impact of adoption
AASB 16 was adopted using the modified retrospective approach and as such the comparatives have not been restated. 
The impact of adoption on the statement of financial position as at 1 July 2019 was as follows (increase/(decrease)):

Right-of-use assets (AASB 16)

Notes to the financial statements

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

AASB 2020-4 Amendment to Australian Accounting Standards - Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions
The  group  has  early  adopted  the  amendment  to  AASB  16  from  1  July  2019.  The  amendment  provides  a  practical 
expedient  for  lessees  to  account  for  COVID-19-related  rent  concessions  that:  result  in  lease  payments  that  are 
substantially  the  same  as,  or  less  than,  the  consideration  for  the  lease  immediately  prior  to  the  change;  where  any 
reduction  in  the  lease  payments  affects  only  payments  originally  due  on  or  before  30  June  2021;  and  where  there  is  no 
substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease. The practical expedient allows an entity not to assess rent 
concessions  meeting  the  criteria  as  a  lease  modification.  As  a  result,  to  the  extent  that  lease  concessions  represent  a 
forgiveness or waiver of lease payments, such concessions are treated as variable lease payments recognised in profit or 
loss with a corresponding adjustment to the lease liability. To the extent that the lease concession in substance represents 
a delay in lease repayments such that lease consideration is not changed, the lease liability is not extinguished. Interest 
continues  to  accrue  for  that  period.  The  group  has  applied  the  practical  expedient  to  all  rent  concessions  that  meet  the 
abovementioned criteria.

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

The group incurred a loss after income tax of $9,829,481 (2019: loss after income tax of $14,460,042) and was in a net 
current liability position of $26,585,968 (2019: $20,139,244). The group generated positive cash flows from operations of 
$1,422,369 (2019: negative cash flows from operations of $370,782).

●
●
●

The directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to conclude that the group will continue as a going concern, after 
consideration of the following factors:

the  group  has  executed  on  a  number  of  strategic  decisions  during  FY2020,  including  a  restructure  of  the  executive 
team.  This  included  the  hire  of  a  new  CEO  with  a  research  industry  background  and  knowledge  of  data  and 
technology, who is also sales-focused;
the group has invested in greater sales capability and new products and tools to reach new customers during FY2020;
the group has realised further savings through automation, technology rationalisation and occupancy during FY2020;
the group is undertaking a fully underwritten renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer of 8 shares for every 1 share held 
by eligible shareholders to raise up to $18,804,170 (before expenses and subject to rounding) (the Entitlement Offer); 
and
the group intends to use the proceeds of the Entitlement Offer as follows:
(i)    significantly restructure its balance sheet by converting a large proportion of the group’s debt to equity;
(ii)   partially pay down the group’s existing debt to $3,000,000;
(iii)  inject further funds into the sales team and global panel partnership;
(iv)  commercialisation of the group’s technology;
(v)   provide working capital for the group; 
(vi)  pay the costs of the Entitlement Offer; and
(vii) grow the business in order to generate profits and positive cash flows in the future.

Accordingly, the directors believe the group will be able to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt 
the going concern basis in the preparation of the consolidated financial report. Should the group be unable to continue as a 
going  concern  it  may  be  required  to  release  its  assets  and  discharge  its  liabilities  other  than  in  the  normal  course  of 
business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any 
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying value amounts of the amounts of liabilities that 
might result should the group be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.

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.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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 group'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.

Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Pureprofile Ltd ('company' 
or  'parent  entity')  as  at  30  June  2020  and  the  results  of  all  subsidiaries  for  the  year  then  ended.  Pureprofile  Ltd  and  its 
subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'group'.

Subsidiaries  are  all  those  entities  over  which  the  group  has  control.  The  group  controls  an  entity  when  the  group  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 group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany  transactions,  balances  and  unrealised  gains  on  transactions  between  entities  in  the  group  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 group.

The  acquisition  of  common  control  subsidiaries  is  accounted  for  at  book  value.  The  acquisition  of  other  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  group  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  group 
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.

Foreign currency translation
The  financial  statements  are  presented  in  Australian  dollars,  which  is  Pureprofile  Ltd's  functional  and  presentation 
currency.

Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the company's functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at 
the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and 
from  the  translation  at  financial  year-end  exchange  rates  of  monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign 
currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign operations
The  assets  and  liabilities  of  foreign  operations  are  translated  into  Australian  dollars  using  the  exchange  rates  at  the 
reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average 
exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange 
differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Revenue recognition
The group recognises revenue as follows:

Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue  is  recognised  at  an  amount  that  reflects  the  consideration  to  which  the  group  is  expected  to  be  entitled  in 
exchange  for  transferring  goods  or  services  to  a  customer.  For  each  contract  with  a  customer,  the  group:  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.

Sales revenue - Data and Insights
Revenue relating to the provision of services for Data & Insights encapsulates online market research services which helps 
businesses  connect  to,  and  receive  feedback  from,  consumers  who  are  registered  to  www.pureprofile.com.  The  group 
generates  sales  revenue  by  charging  clients  for  access  to  its  online  panel  for  survey  responses  and  may  additionally 
charge for set-up and support services. Contracts with clients generally comprise a single distinct performance obligation, 
being the provision of market research services and the transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. 
Some contracts contain multiple deliverables – such as set-up and support services. In such circumstances, these multiple 
deliverables  are  considered  to  represent  a  single  distinct  performance  obligation,  given  there  is  a  significant  integration 
performed by the group in delivering the services. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognised over time and is based 
on  the  actual  service  provided  to  the  end  of  the  reporting  period  as  a  proportion  of  the  total  services  to  be  provided 
because  the  customer  receives  and  uses  the  benefits  simultaneously.  This  is  determined  based  on  the  actual  surveys 
completed relative to the total expected surveys. 

Sales revenue - Media
Revenue relating to the provision of services for Media sales including programmatic buying and selling of ad inventory, 
online  marketing  solutions  for  advertisers  and  advertising  yield  optimisation  solutions  for  online  publishers.  The  group 
generates  sales  revenue  for  managed  campaign  (programmatic  trading)  services  by  charging  clients  for  purchasing  ad 
inventory and managing the placement of ads on their behalf (at a marked-up price to the ad inventory purchased or as a 
service fee). The group also generates sales revenue for Media Trading service by buying and reselling ad inventory. The 
group  also  generates  sales  revenue  by  helping  publishers  to  increase  yield  through  programmatically  selling  their  ad 
inventory. Contracts with clients generally comprise a single distinct performance obligation, being the provision of Media 
services described above and the transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Fees for the provision 
of services are recognised as revenue as the services are rendered, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 
service agreement. 

Sales revenue - Performance
Revenue  relating  to  the  provision  of  services  for  digital  marketing  by  providing  lead  generation  and  email  marketing 
services.  The  group  generates  sales  revenue  for  lead  generation  services  by  charging  clients  on  a  price  per  lead  basis. 
The group generates sales revenue from email marketing by various revenue models including cost per thousand (CPM), 
cost per click (CPC) and cost per acquisition (CPA). Contracts with clients generally comprise a single distinct performance 
obligation, being the provision of Lead Generation and Email marketing services described above and the transaction price 
is  allocated  to  the  single  performance  obligation.  For  fixed-price  contracts,  revenue  is  recognised  based  on  the  actual 
service  provided  to  the  end  of  the  reporting  period  as  a  proportion  of  the  total  services  to  be  provided  because  the 
customer receives and uses the benefits simultaneously. This is determined based on the actual leads obtained relative to 
the total expected leads.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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 received which do not relate to any specific costs are recognised as income received in the period in 
which they are received.

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.

Pureprofile  Ltd.  (the  'head  entity')  and  its  wholly-owned  Australian  subsidiaries  have  formed  an  income  tax  consolidated 
group with tax funding agreements, under the tax consolidation regime, effective 7 November 2014. The head entity and 
each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax 
consolidated  group  has  applied  the  'separate  taxpayer  within  group'  approach  in  determining  the  appropriate  amount  of 
taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) 
and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary in the tax 
consolidated group.

Assets  or  liabilities  arising  under  tax  funding  agreements  with  the  tax  consolidated  entities  are  recognised  as  amounts 
receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the 
intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a 
contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of the group that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that 
represents  a  separate  major  line  of  business  or  geographical  area  of  operations,  is  part  of  a  single  co-ordinated  plan  to 
dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The 
results  of  discontinued  operations  are  presented  separately  on  the  face  of  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other 
comprehensive income.

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 group'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.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the group'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 group 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.

Contract assets
Contract assets are recognised when the group has transferred goods or services to the customer but where the group is 
yet  to  establish  an  unconditional  right  to  consideration.  Contract  assets  are  treated  as  financial  assets  for  impairment 
purposes.

Property, plant and equipment
Plant  and  equipment  is  stated  at  historical  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  impairment.  Historical  cost  includes 
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

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

Office and computer equipment

3 to 9 years

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

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

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Leases (AASB 117 - prior year)
The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and 
requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets 
and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the 
risks  and  benefits  incidental  to  the  ownership  of  leased  assets,  and  operating  leases,  under  which  the  lessor  effectively 
retains substantially all such risks and benefits.

Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the fair value of the leased assets, or if lower, 
the  present  value  of  minimum  lease  payments.  Lease  payments  are  allocated  between  the  principal  component  of  the 
lease liability and the finance costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the asset's useful life or over the shorter of the asset's 
useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the consolidated entity will obtain ownership at the end 
of the lease term.

Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line 
basis over the term of the lease.

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 group 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  group  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.

Goodwill
Goodwill  arises  on  the  acquisition  of  a  business.  Goodwill  is  not  amortised.  Instead,  goodwill  is  tested  annually  for 
impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at 
cost  less  accumulated  impairment  losses.  Impairment  losses  on  goodwill  are  taken  to  profit  or  loss  and  are  not 
subsequently reversed.

Software
Costs incurred in developing products or systems and costs incurred in acquiring software and licenses that will contribute 
to  future  period  financial  benefits  through  revenue  generation  and/or  cost  reductions  are  capitalised.  Costs  capitalised 
include external direct costs of materials and service and employee costs. Software development costs include only those 
costs  directly  attributable  to  the  development  phase  and  are  only  recognised  following  completion  of  technical  feasibility 
and  where  the  group  has  an  intention  and  ability  to  use  the  asset.  Software  costs  are  amortised  on  a  straight-line  basis 
over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of between four and five years.

Customer and partnership network relationships
Acquired membership database is amortised over 7 years, on a straight line basis.

Membership base
In November 2016, Pureprofile, with the acquisition of the Cohort Group, acquired a membership database which will be 
amortised over its useful economic life of 7 years, on a straight line basis. The Membership base was not disposed as part 
of sale of the Performance ANZ business. 

Brand names
Acquired brand names are not amortised. Instead, brand names are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if 
events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  they  might  be  impaired,  and  is  carried  at  cost  less  accumulated 
impairment losses.

Impairment of non-financial assets
Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, 
or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other 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 group 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 30-45 days of recognition.

Contract liabilities
Contract liabilities represent the group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer and are recognised when a 
customer pays consideration, or when the group recognises a receivable to reflect its unconditional right to consideration 
(whichever is earlier) before the group has transferred the goods or services to the customer.

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  group'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.  Variable  lease  payments  include  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 
2021.

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.

Group as a lessor
Leases  in  which  the  group  transfers  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  of  an  asset  are  classified  as 
finance leases held by the customer. Lease receivables are recognised at an amount equal to the net investment in the 
lease  which  represents  the  gross  investment  discounted  at  the  implicit  interest  rate.  Lease  payments  received  are 
accounted  for  as  a  repayment  of  principal  and  receipt  of  income.  Interest  income  is  calculated  on  the  principal  balance 
outstanding and is brought to account to produce a constant rate of return over the lease term.

Leases in which the group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are 
classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and is 
included in revenue in the statement of profit or loss due to its operating nature. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating 
and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term 
on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.

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.

Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the group has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is 
probable  the  group  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.

Reward redemption
The group invites its internet panel members to complete surveys in exchange for a cash or points-based incentive. These 
amounts are not paid until a predetermined target value has accrued on a members account. An assessment of incentives 
likely  to  be  paid  (present  obligation)  is  made  taking  into  account  past  behaviour  and  activity. This  is  recognised  as  an 
expense in the period in which the service is provided.

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 liability for employee benefits not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured as 
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.  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  is  measured  at  fair  value  on  grant  date.  Fair  value  is  independently  determined 
using either the Binomial or 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 group 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  is  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.

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a 
cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the group 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, they are treated as if they had 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 are 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  that  are  appropriate  in  the  circumstances  and  for  which  sufficient  data  are 
available  to  measure  fair  value,  are  used,  maximising  the  use  of  relevant  observable  inputs  and  minimising  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.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, 
from the proceeds.

Business combinations
The  acquisition  method  of  accounting  is  used  to  account  for  business  combinations  regardless  of  whether  equity 
instruments or other assets are acquired.

The  consideration  transferred  is  the  sum  of  the  acquisition-date  fair  values  of  the  assets  transferred,  equity  instruments 
issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest 
in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value 
or  at  the  proportionate  share  of  the  acquiree's  identifiable  net  assets.  All  acquisition  costs  are  expensed  as  incurred  to 
profit or loss.

On the acquisition of a business, the group assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate 
classification  and  designation  in  accordance  with  the  contractual  terms,  economic  conditions,  the  group's  operating  or 
accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date.

Where  the  business  combination  is  achieved  in  stages,  the  group  remeasures  its  previously  held  equity  interest  in  the 
acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is 
recognised in profit or loss.

Contingent  consideration  to  be  transferred  by  the  acquirer  is  recognised  at  the  acquisition-date  fair  value.  Subsequent 
changes  in  the  fair  value  of  the  contingent  consideration  classified  as  an  asset  or  liability  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss. 
Contingent  consideration  classified  as  equity  is  not  remeasured  and  its  subsequent  settlement  is  accounted  for  within 
equity.

The  difference  between  the  acquisition-date  fair  value  of  assets  acquired,  liabilities  assumed  and  any  non-controlling 
interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment 
in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair 
value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a 
gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and 
measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred 
and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquirer.

Business  combinations  are  initially  accounted  for  on  a  provisional  basis.  The  acquirer  retrospectively  adjusts  the 
provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based 
on  new  information  obtained  about  the  facts  and  circumstances  that  existed  at  the  acquisition-date.  The  measurement 
period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the 
information possible to determine fair value.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share
Basic  earnings  per  share  is  calculated  by  dividing  the  profit  attributable  to  the  owners  of  Pureprofile  Ltd,  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.

Rounding of amounts
The company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, 
issued  by  the  Australian  Securities  and  Investments  Commission,  relating  to  'rounding-off'.  Amounts  in  this  Report  have 
been rounded to the nearest dollar. 

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 group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2020. The group's 
assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the group, 
are set out below.

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework)
The  revised  Conceptual  Framework  is  applicable  to  annual  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2020  and 
early  adoption  is  permitted.  The  Conceptual  Framework  contains  new  definition  and  recognition  criteria  as  well  as  new 
guidance  on  measurement  that  affects  several  Accounting  Standards.  Where  the  group  has  relied  on  the  existing 
framework  in  determining  its  accounting  policies  for  transactions,  events  or  conditions  that  are  not  otherwise  dealt  with 
under the Australian Accounting Standards, the group may need to review such policies under the revised framework. At 
this time, the application of the Conceptual Framework is not expected to have a material impact on the group's financial 
statements.

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.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement  has  been  exercised  in  considering  the  impacts  that  the  Coronavirus  (COVID-19)  pandemic  has  had,  or  may 
have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and 
services  offered,  customers,  supply  chain,  staffing  and  geographic  regions  in  which  the  group  operates.  Other  than  as 
addressed  in  specific  notes,  there  does  not  currently  appear  to  be  either  any  significant  impact  upon  the  financial 
statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the group unfavourably 
as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Share-based payment transactions
The  group  measures  the  cost  of  equity-settled  transactions  with  employees  by  reference  to  the  fair  value  of  the  equity 
instruments  at  the  date  at  which  they  are  granted.  The  fair  value  is  determined  by  using  either  the  Binomial  or  Black-
Scholes  model  taking  into  account  the  terms  and  conditions  upon  which  the  instruments  were  granted.  The  accounting 
estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts 
of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

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

Allowance for expected credit losses
The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the 
lifetime  expected  credit  loss,  grouped  based  on  days  overdue,  and  makes  assumptions  to  allocate  an  overall  expected 
credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include recent sales experience, historical collection rates, the impact 
of  the  Coronavirus  (COVID-19)  pandemic  and  forward-looking  information  that  is  available.  The  allowance  for  expected 
credit  losses,  as  disclosed  in  note  11,  is  calculated  based  on  the  information  available  at  the  time  of  preparation.  The 
actual credit losses in future years may be higher or lower.

Capitalised software development costs
Distinguishing the research and development phases of a new customised software project and determining whether the 
recognition  requirements  for  the  capitalisation  of  development  costs  are  met  requires  judgement.  After  capitalisation, 
management monitors whether the recognition requirement continue to be met and whether there are any indicators that 
capitalised costs may be impaired.

Estimation of useful lives of assets
The group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant 
and  equipment  and  finite  life  intangible  assets.  The  useful  lives  could  change  significantly  as  a  result  of  technical 
innovations  or  some  other  event.  The  depreciation  and  amortisation  charge  will  increase  where  the  useful  lives  are  less 
than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be 
written off or written down.

Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
The group tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill 
and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in 
note  2.  The  recoverable  amounts  of  cash-generating  units  have  been  determined  based  on  value-in-use  calculations. 
These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital 
and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows.

Following the disposal of the business units during the year ended 30 June 2019, goodwill has been apportioned between 
continuing operations and goodwill disposed of through the discontinued operations. Considerable judgement is required in 
determining the amounts to be apportioned between the continuing and discontinued operations.

Impairment of non-financial assets other than indefinite life intangible assets
The group assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than indefinite life intangible assets at each reporting date by 
evaluating conditions specific to the group 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.

Income tax
The  group  is  subject  to  income  taxes  in  the  jurisdictions  in  which  it  operates.  Significant  judgement  is  required  in 
determining  the  provision  for  income  tax.  There  are  many  transactions  and  calculations  undertaken  during  the  ordinary 
course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain.

Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  for  deductible  temporary  differences  only  if  the  group  considers  it  is  probable  that 
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

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 group'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 group 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.

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

Incremental borrowing rate
Where  the  interest  rate  implicit  in  a  lease  cannot  be  readily  determined,  an  incremental  borrowing  rate  is  estimated  to 
discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such 
a rate is based on what the group estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an 
asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment.

Reward redemption provision
In  determining  the  level  of  provision  required  for  reward  redemptions  the  group  has  made  judgements  in  respect  of  the 
expected  outflows  necessary  to  settle  the  redemptions.  The  provision  represents  the  maximum  amount  that  the  group 
estimates  is  likely  to  be  claimed  by  panel  members  and  is  based  on  estimates  made  from  historical  data  and  likely 
redemption patterns. Balances accrued by panel members that have been inactive (i.e. not completed any transaction) for 
more than one year are written back to profit or loss. 

Note 4. Operating segments

Identification of reportable operating segments
The Group is organised into three operating segments:
● Data & Insights;
● Media; and
● Performance

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.

Other segments represent the corporate headquarters of the group.

The  CODM  reviews  EBITDA  (earnings  before  interest,  tax,  depreciation  and  amortisation,  adjusted  for  non-cash  and 
significant items). The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in 
the financial statements.

Types of products and services
The principal products and services are as follows:
Data & Insights
Media
Performance

Conducting market research and providing research technology platforms
Buying and selling online advertising inventory on behalf of advertisers and publishers
Generates leads for clients through its consumer database and proprietary and partner 
digital assets

During the financial year ended 30 June 2019, on 4 October 2018, the group entered into a binding agreement to sell its 
media trading business unit (which acquired as part of the acquisition of Sparcmedia in 2015). On 1 March 2019 the group 
also sold 100% of its interest in Cohort Holdings Australia Pty Ltd and its controlled entities. Both business units were part 
of the media segment. Refer note 9 for further information.

Major customers
During  the  years  ended  30  June  2020  and  30  June  2019  no  single  customer  contributed  more  than  10%  to  the  group's 
external revenue.

Business'), which was acquired as part of the acquisition of Sparcmedia in 2015. The Media Trading Business was sold for

During  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2020,  the  discontinued  operations  represented  additional  expenses  incurred  by

The  group  has  increased  its  monitoring  of  debt  recovery  as  there  is  an  increased  probability  of  customers  delaying 
payment  or  being  unable  to  pay,  due  to  the  Coronavirus  (COVID-19)  pandemic.  As  a  result,  the  calculation  of  expected 
credit losses has been revised as at 30 June 2020 and rates have increased in each category up to 6 months overdue.

Note 16. Non-current assets - intangibles (continued)

At the reporting date for the half-year ended 31 December 2019, the Media CGU generated a loss for the half-year to 31 
December  2019,  which  gave  rise  to  an  indicator  of  potential  impairment  and  the  CGU  was  subsequently  tested  for 
impairment at 31 December 2019.

Other definite life intangible assets
Definite life intangible assets are tested for impairment at each reporting date if an indicator of impairment exists. COVID-
19  has  had  a  significant  impact  on  the  Australian  and  global  economy.  The  current  and  prospective  deterioration  in  the 
economy  due  to  COVID-19  has  triggered  an  indicator  of  impairment.  The  remaining  definite  life  intangible  assets  not 
allocated to the Media CGU have been tested for impairment at 30 June 2020. All remaining definite life intangible assets 
are allocated to the Data & Insights CGU.

Impairment testing methodology
The recoverable amount of the CGU has been determined based on a value in use calculation. This calculation uses a 5 
year cash flow projection based upon financial budgets approved by management. Cash flows beyond the five year period 
are  extrapolated  using  the  long  term  growth  rate  stated  below.  The  growth  rate  does  not  exceed  the  long  term  average 
growth rate for the business.

Key assumptions used in the value in use calculations

Forecast growth in revenue

Discount rate (post-tax)

Impairment test results - Media CGU 
Based  on  the  testing  performed  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  CGU  did  not  exceed  its  carrying  value  and  the  group 
recognised an impairment to goodwill of $2,107,127 (2019: $nil), reducing its carrying value to nil.

Impact of possible changes in assumptions - Media CGU
Management believes that reasonable changes in the  key assumptions on which the recoverable amount of the CGU is 
based would not result in any additional impairment.

Impairment test results - Data & Insights CGU 
Based on the testing performed no impairment was recognised for this CGU, for the year ended 30 June 2020.

Impact of possible changes in assumptions -  Data & Insights CGU
The directors have considered three scenarios (the Base case; Lower case; and Upper case) when making judgments and 
estimates  in  respect  of  impairment  testing  of  the  CGU’s  non-current  assets.  Should  these  judgments  and  estimates  not 
occur  the  resulting  recoverable  amount  of  the  CGU’s  non-current  assets  may  differ.  The  sensitivities  specific  to  the  D&I 
CGU are as follows:

Note 16. Non-current assets - intangibles (continued)

the probability weighting applied to the lower case scenario would be required to increase to 34% and the probability 
weighting  applied  to  the  base  case  scenario  reduced  to  56%  before  it  gives  rise  to  an  impairment,  with  all  other 
assumptions remaining constant;
budgeted revenue growth in the year 1 (FY21) in the base case would be required to reduce to 9.3% before it gives 
rise to an impairment, with all other assumptions remaining constant;
budgeted  revenue  growth  in  the  year  2  ~  5  (FY22  ~  FY25)  in  the  base  case  would  be  required  to  reduce  to  6.5% 
before it gives rise to an impairment, with all other assumptions remaining constant; and
the  discount  rate  would  be  required  to  increase  to  24.30%  before  it  gives  rise  to  an  impairment,  with  all  other 
assumptions remaining constant.

Management  believes  that  other  reasonable  changes  in  the  key  assumptions  on  which  the  recoverable  amount  of 
intangibles is based would not cause the cash-generating unit's carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount.

The group has unused tax losses of $5,469,681 (2019: $4,212,824) for which no tax benefit has been recognised. Based 
on  management's  assessment,  taking  into  consideration  the  group's  future  forecasts,  deferred  tax  assets  on  tax  losses 
have only been recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be taxable future income from which to offset the 
tax losses.

Note 25. Equity - issued capital (continued)

Capital risk management
The  group'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  group  may  adjust  the  amount  of  dividends  paid  to  shareholders, 
return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The group 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 group 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  group  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 previous period.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 27. Equity - dividends

Note 28. Financial instruments

There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year.

Financial risk management objectives
The  group'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 group'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 group. The group 
may  use  derivative  financial  instruments  such  as  forward  foreign  exchange  contracts  to  hedge  certain  risk  exposures. 
Derivatives are exclusively used for hedging purposes, i.e. not as trading or other speculative instruments. The group 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, foreign exchange and other price risks and ageing analysis for credit risk.

Market risk

Foreign currency risk
The group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign currency risk from various currency exposures, primarily with 
respect to the US dollar and GB Pound.

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities 
denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and 
cash flow forecasting.

The carrying amount of the group's foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities at the reporting 
date were not significant.

Price risk
The group is not exposed to any significant price risk.

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

An analysis by remaining contractual maturities is shown in the liquidity section below.

As at the 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019, the group's borrowings were subject to a fixed interest rate, hence the group 
was not susceptible to interest rate risk arising from fluctuation in the variable interest rate.

Credit risk
Credit  risk  refers  to  the  risk  that  a  counterparty  will  default  on  its  contractual  obligations  resulting  in  financial  loss  to  the 
group.  The  group  has  a  strict  code  of  credit,  including  obtaining  agency  credit  information,  confirming  references  and 
setting  appropriate  credit  limits.  The  group  obtains  guarantees  where  appropriate  to  mitigate  credit  risk.  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 
group  does  not  have  any  material  credit  risk  exposure  to  any  single  debtor  or  group  of  debtors  and  does  not  hold  any 
collateral.

The  group  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 group based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-
looking information that is available. As disclosed in note 11, due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the calculation 
of expected credit losses has been revised as at 30 June 2020 and rates have increased in each category up to 6 months 
overdue.

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 1 year.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 28. Financial instruments (continued)

The group had a concentration of credit risk exposure with its debtors financing facility as at 30 June 2019, however the 
facility expired during the year ended 30 June 2020 and the group is no longer exposed to a concentration of credit risk at 
30 June 2020. As at 30 June 2019, the finance provider was owed $2,069,339 from the group's trade receivables. In the 
event that the group's trade receivables were not collected the group was liable for amounts owed to the finance provider. 
Amounts owed represented 31.5% of trade receivables at 30 June 2019. The group recognised a provision for impairment 
of receivables of $94,422 at 30 June 2019. There were no guarantees against these receivables but management closely 
monitored the receivable balance on a monthly basis and is in regular contact with this customer to mitigate risk.

Liquidity risk
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the group 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 group 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.

Financing arrangements
Unused borrowing facilities at the reporting date:

Note 29. Fair value measurement

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.

Share options and service rights
A  long  term  incentive  plan  ('LTI')  and  short  term  incentive  plan  ('STI')  have  been  established  by  the  group,  whereby  the 
group may, at the discretion of the Board, grant options or performance rights (in the case of an LTI) or service rights (in 
the  case  of  an  STI)  over  ordinary  shares  in  the  company  to  certain  key  management  personnel  and  employees  of  the 
group. The existing options are issued for consideration and are granted in accordance with guidelines established by the 
Board.  The  existing  service  rights  are  issued  for  nil  consideration  and  are  granted  in  accordance  with  performance 
guidelines established by the Board.

The  general  terms  under  which  the  share  options  and  service  rights  are  granted  are  summarised  in  the  Remuneration 
report section of the Directors' report.

Performance rights
On  12  December  2017,  the  company  issued  2,100,000  performance  rights  to  its  finance  facility  provider,  as  part 
consideration for the financing facility obtained in November 2017. 950,000 performance rights, which will convert to fully 
paid-up  ordinary  shares  upon  the  60-day  volume  weighted  average  price  ('VWAP')  of  Pureprofile  shares  reaching  $0.40 
per share; and 1,150,000 performance rights, which will convert to fully paid-up ordinary shares upon the 60-day VWAP of 
Pureprofile shares reaching $0.60 per share. These performance rights expired in November 2019.

Share-based payments expense for the financial year was $nil (2019: $nil).

On 19 October 2020, the group announced to the ASX that it was undertaking a fully underwritten renounceable pro-rata 
entitlement offer of 8 shares for every 1 share held by eligible shareholders to raise up to $18,804,170 (before expenses 
and  subject  to  rounding)  (the  Entitlement  Offer) and  the  group  intended  to  use  the  proceeds  of  the  Entitlement  Offer  as 
follows:

significantly restructure its balance sheet by converting a large proportion of the group’s debt to equity;
partially pay down the group’s existing debt to $3,000,000;
inject further funds into the sales team and global panel partnership;
commercialisation of the group’s technology;
provide working capital for the group; and
pay the costs of the Entitlement Offer.

On 19 October 2020, the group and its existing lender, Lucerne, entered into a new agreement in respect of its debt facility 
(the New Facility), which is conditional on the completion of the Entitlement Offer outlined above.

Key terms of the agreement:

●      Debt forgiveness - following completion of the Entitlement Offer and allocation of funds under that offer against the
        existing debt, the remaining balance of the facilities (~ $7,300,000 of debt as at 30 September 2020) will be forgiven;
●      New $3,000,000 Facility - replacing the previous facilities will be a new, fully-drawn $3,000,000 loan facility;
●      Interest on New Facility - interest rate of 8.5% per annum (payable quarterly);
●      Maturity of New Facility - 3 years from the date of completion of the Entitlement Offer and payable in advance at the
        group’s discretion;
●      No performance covenants - the New Facility does not contain business performance covenants; and
●      Performance rights cancelled - the performance rights that were previously issued to Lucerne have been cancelled.

The New Facility is subject to warranties, indemnities, fees and default fees and terms, which the group considers usual for 
a transaction of this size and scope.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect 
the group's operations, the results of those operations, or the group's state of affairs in future financial years.

Independent Auditor’s Report 
To the Members of Pureprofile Limited  

Report on the audit of the financial report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Pureprofile Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which 
comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss 
and other comprehensive income, 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 Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: 

a  giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 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, where it is disclosed that subsequent to balance date the Group is 
undertaking a fully underwritten renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer (the entitlement offer) to raise up to $18,804,170, the 
proceeds of which will be used, among other things, to convert a large proportion of the Group’s debt to equity, partially pay 
down the Group’s existing debt to $3,000,000 and provide working capital for the Group. At the date of this audit report the 
entitlement offer is in progress and therefore the proceeds of the offer have not yet been received by the Group. As disclosed 
in note 2, the Group incurred a net loss of $9,829,481 during the year ended 30 June 2020, and as of that date, the Group’s 
current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $26,585,968.  

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 Group’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 

Carrying value of non-current assets, Notes 14, 15 and 16   

At 30 June 2020, the Group’s consolidated statement of 
financial position included intangible assets of $7,434,547, 
right-of-use assets of $2,374,210, and property, plant and 
equipment of $187,540. 

AASB136 Impairment of Assets requires management to 
perform impairment testing when there are indicators of 
impairment at each reporting date to ensure that the 
recoverable amount of non-current assets is greater than the 
carrying value.  

There were several indicators of impairment present, including 
the current period loss, the loss of key contracts within the 
Media business and the economic environment due to the 
COVID-19 pandemic. 

We considered this to be a key audit matter given the value of 
these assets relative to total assets and the significant 
judgements and assumptions involved in the application of the 
value-in-use model used by management in testing non-
current assets for impairment. 

Capitalisation of development costs, Note 16 

During the year ended 30 June 2020, the Group capitalised 
$2,742,880 of costs related to the development of its software 
assets. 

AASB 138 Intangible Assets sets out the criteria that are 
required to be met in order to record intangible assets arising 
from the development phase of a project. 

Judgement is required by management in determining if the 
internal labour and external supplier costs incurred are directly 
attributable to the developmental projects and the 
appropriateness of these costs to be capitalised under AASB 
138. 

We considered this to be a key audit matter given the 
magnitude of amounts capitalised and the significant 
judgements and estimates involved in determining which costs 
may be capitalised throughout the life of the project and 
determining the useful life of the asset. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

  Assessing the impairment testing model used by 
management for compliance with AASB 136, with 
involvement from our valuation specialists; 

  Testing the mathematical accuracy of the model and 

assessing the discount rates, with involvement from our 
valuation specialists; 

  Assessing the reasonableness of the underlying 

assumptions regarding future cash flows used in the model 
by comparing these with approved budgets, historical 
performance, business plans, industry forecasts and other 
supporting information; 

  Performing sensitivity analysis on the key assumptions, 

focusing on areas where a reasonably possible change in 
assumptions could cause the carrying amount to exceed its 
recoverable amount and therefore indicate impairment; and 

  Assessing the adequacy of the disclosures relating to 
intangible assets in the financial statements, including 
those made with respect to judgements and estimates. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

  Assessing management’s assumptions and estimates 

made in capitalising development costs; 

  Testing, on a sample basis, costs capitalised to the 

underlying evidence including employment contracts, 
payroll reports, and invoices from external suppliers to 
assess the nature and eligibility of development costs for 
capitalisation as an intangible asset under AASB 138; 

  Assessing the reasonableness of the useful lives attributed 
to capitalised development costs and evaluating whether 
amortisation expense was recorded based upon the 
assigned useful lives; and 

  Assessing the adequacy of the disclosures relating to 
intangible assets in the financial statements, including 
those made with respect to judgements and estimates.

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 
Company’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, 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 Group’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 Company 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: https://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilites/ar1_2020.pdf. This description forms part of 
our auditor’s report. 

Report on the remuneration report 

Opinion on the remuneration report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 14 to 21 of the Directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 
2020.  

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Pureprofile Limited, for the year ended 30 June 2020 complies with section 
300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
