Peppermint Innovation Limited is an Australian company focused on the commercialisation, deployment and 
development of the proprietary Peppermint Platform, a white label mobile App banking platform and mobile 
App micro enterprise platform that offers payments, remittance, delivery and logistics and ecommerce services 
to the Philippines market with the aim of creating financial inclusion for the Filipino people who otherwise 
might not have access to these services. Peppermint currently operates the commercially proven and deployed 
Peppermint Platform by providing white label mobile App banking platforms to the Philippines banking sector, 
and by providing mobile App micro enterprise services via its own “bizmoto” agent network as well as through 
other third-party non-bank networks (“bizmoto” meaning “my business” in Filipino). 

The  bizmoto  brand  is  emerging  and  Peppermint  is  firmly  focused  on  its  growth  through  the  ongoing 
development and deployment across four fundamental business sectors covered by the Peppermint Platform 
namely: 

•  Payments; 
•  Delivery & Logistics; 
•  E-Commerce; and  
•  Financial Services 

The Philippines is an attractive market for Peppermint where 70% of its 108 million people are unbanked and 
the average age is 24.  90% of the population do not have a credit score and there are approximately 118 mobile 
phones  for  every  100  people.    In  this  market  the  predominant  way  of  doing  business  is  with  cash  with  an 
estimated US$920 Billion in annual payment value across the four business sectors Peppermint is focused on.  
Unfortunately, cash is an aging payment form which results in significant cash leakage and locks the cash 
buyer out of the rapidly expanding and convenient world of ecommerce and services (which is even more 
important in today’s Covid 19 affected world). 

The Groups’s mission is to give members of this unsupported Filipino community a “hand up by: 
•  providing access to financial tools on a digital platform via App on their mobile phone; 
• 

enabling them to make payments and access services online without use of a bank or credit card;

Directors’ Report 

Peppermint Innovation Limited 

•  providing them with a platform to conduct business on a scale they can deal with and earn from; and 
•  building an alternative path to finance to be accessed and repaid automatically through the App. 
The Group has developed and deployed the App and Platform under the brand name “Bizmoto” (meaning “my 
business” in Filipino) via which a local Filipino agent or his customer can access eCommerce, delivery and 
logistics (where accredited riders are available on-demand), make bill payments, make cash transfers, e-load 
mobile  phones,  or  make  QR  code  payments  to  purchase  products,  all  via  the  Bizmoto  App  and  connected 
Bizmoto wallet on the registered agents mobile phone.  In addition, The Group is now working to add micro-
enterprise lending and non-bank financial services to its expanding network of agents and riders which will 
provide  further  impetus  for  Bizmoto  (an  ecosystem  of  services  readily  scalable  and  targeted  at  developing 
world countries in the ASEAN region). 
Accomplishments and Awards:  

•  The  Group  is  an  established  mobile  banking  app  technology  provider  in  the  Philippines,  already 

providing a white-label mobile banking and payments app with a tier-1 major Filipino bank. 

•  The Group has a long-standing, respected and continuing engagement with the Central Bank of the 

Philippines and major regulatory bodies. 

•  The  Group  is  the  chosen  technology  partner  and  mobile  banking  platform  provider  for  the  largest 
interbank network and single ATM switch operator in the Philippines – Banknet to whose members 
The Group is now starting to provide a mobile banking solution. 
In  2019  The  Group  was  chosen  by  a  panel  of  experts  in  Washington  DC  as  one  of  the  inaugural 
“Inclusive  Fintech  50”  (early-stage  Fintech  companies  that  demonstrated  the  power  of  financial 
technology  to  expand  access,  usage  and  quality  of  financial  services  in  advanced  and  emerging 
markets) from 600 eligible worldwide (www.inclusivefintech50.com). 

• 

No significant change in the nature of these activities occurred during the year. 

5.  Operating and financial review

COVID-19 

Beginning in February 2020, governments worldwide issued increasingly stringent orders to contain the spread 
of COVID-19, including shelter-in-place orders and travel bans. In response to this travel was ceased for all 
employees. The Group however continued to operate at full capacity including enacting necessary precautions 
for  essential  staff  attending  offices  in  accordance  with  local  restrictions,  which  also  included  some  staff 
working from home at times.  

The COVID-19 pandemic is a new risk to human health and is a concern the Company’s Board takes seriously 
and is confident appropriate procedures are in place to navigate the Group through this period.

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 

Remuneration philosophy 

The performance of the Group depends upon the quality of its directors and executives. To prosper, the Group 
must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled directors and executives. 

To this end, the Group embodies the following principles in its compensation framework: 

•  Provide competitive rewards to attract high calibre executives;  

•  Link executive rewards to shareholder value; and 

•  Establish appropriate, demanding performance hurdles in relation to variable executive compensation 

Remuneration consists of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration. 

Fixed Remuneration 

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board of Directors. The process consists of a review of relevant 
comparative remuneration in the market and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and 
practices.

Peppermint Innovation Limited 

Variable Remuneration 

The Group does not currently have a variable component to the remuneration of the board and management, 
however, the Group intends to introduce a variable remuneration plan in the near future. 

Remuneration Reviews 

The  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Company  is  responsible  for  determining  and  reviewing  compensation 
arrangements for the directors, the Managing Director and all other key management personnel. 

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

Remuneration structure 

In accordance with best practice Corporate Governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive 
remuneration is separate and distinct. 

Non-executive Director Remuneration 

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

The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors 
shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to 
be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst directors is reviewed annually.  
The Board considers advice from external shareholders as well as the fees paid to non-executive directors of 
comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process.   

Non-executive directors receive a fee for being a director of the Company. The compensation of non-executive 
directors for the year ended 30 June 2022 is detailed below. 

The total maximum remuneration of non-executive directors is initially set by the Constitution and subsequent 
variation is by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting in accordance with the Constitution, the 
Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, as applicable.  The determination of non-executive directors’ 
remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value to the 
Company  of  the  respective  contributions  of  each  non-executive  Director.    This  amount  has  been  set  at  an 
amount not to exceed $300,000 per annum.  

In addition, a director may be paid fees or other amounts and non-cash performance incentive such as options, 
subject  to  necessary  shareholder  approval,  where  a  director  performs  special  duties  or  otherwise  performs 
services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a director. 

Directors are also entitled to be reimbursed reasonable travelling, hotel and other expenses incurred by them 
respectively in or about the performance of their duties as directors. 

Senior Manager and Executive Director remuneration 

Objective 

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

• 

• 

• 

• 

reward  executives  for  company,  business  unit  and  individual  performance  against  targets  set  to 
appropriate benchmarks;  

align the interests of executives with those of shareholders;  

link rewards with the strategic goals and performance of the Group; and  

ensure total compensation is competitive by market standards.  

Compensation consists of the following key elements:  

• 

Fixed Compensation; and 

2022 Annual Financial Report 

11 

 
 
 
 
Directors’ Report - Remuneration report (audited) 

Peppermint Innovation Limited 

• 

Variable Compensation. 

The  proportion  of  fixed  compensation  and  variable  compensation  (potential  short  term  and  long  term 
incentives) is established for each key management person by the Directors. 

Fixed Compensation 

Objective 

Fixed  compensation  is  reviewed  annually  by  the  Directors.  The  process  consists  of  a  review  of  individual 
performance, relevant comparative compensation in the market and internally and, where appropriate, external 
advice on policies and practices. 

Structure  

Executives are given the opportunity to receive their fixed remuneration in a variety of forms including cash 
and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles and expense payment plans. 

Variable Compensation 

Objective  

The objective of the Variable Compensation is to reward executives in a manner that aligns this element of 
compensation with the creation of shareholder wealth.  

Structure  

The Company and Group do not currently have a Variable Compensation plan, however, it is intended that 
one be established in the near future. 

Use of remuneration consultants 

The Group did not use the services of remuneration consultants. 

Objective of the remuneration committee 

The Company did not have a remuneration committee during the year. 

Voting and comments made at 2021 Annual General Meeting 

All resolutions at the 2021 Annual General Meeting were passed by poll. 

Overview of Group performance 

The performance of the Group is detailed in the Directors’ Report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 

Peppermint Innovation Limited 

1. 

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Peppermint Innovation Limited (the Company) is an Australian company incorporated on 24 July 2014. On 4 
December 2015, the Company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. 

The  principal  activities  of  the  Group  (the  Company  and  its  controlled  entities)  were  the  development  and 
commercialisation of its mobile banking, payment and remittance platform. 

(a) 

Basis of Preparation 

Statement of compliance 
The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the 
requirements  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations,  and  as 
appropriate for profit oriented entities.  

Accounting  Standards  include  Australian  Accounting  Standards  (AASBs).  Compliance  with  Australian 
Accounting  Standards  ensures  that  the  financial  statements  and  notes  comply  with  International  Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 30 September 2022. 

Basis of measurement 
The financial report has also been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

Functional and presentation currency 
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. 

Principles of consolidation 
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Peppermint 
Innovation Limited ('Company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2022 and the results of all subsidiaries for the 
year then ended. Peppermint Innovation Limited 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  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. 

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit 
or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of 
the Group. Losses incurred by the Group are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results 
in a deficit balance.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 

Peppermint Innovation Limited 

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. 

(b) 

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted 

New standards and interpretations adopted 

The Group has 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.  

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 consolidated entity: 

(c) 

Statement of Compliance 

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to 
International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (AIFRS).  Compliance  with  AIFRS  ensures  that  the  financial 
report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting 
Standards (IFRS). 

(d) 

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty 

The  application  of  accounting  policies  requires  the  use  of  judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  about 
carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and 
associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. 
Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

Share-based payment transactions: 
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled share-based payments at fair value at the grant date using an 
option pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. 
The fair value is determined by a valuation using a Black Scholes or Trinomial Option Pricing Model. 

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  Group  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. 

(e) 

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

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 

Peppermint Innovation Limited 

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 initially recognised as deferred revenue in the form of a separate refund liability. 

Sale of goods 
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the 
goods, which is generally at the time of delivery. 

Rendering of services 
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over time as the services are rendered based on 
either a fixed price or an hourly rate. 

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. 

(f) 

Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are 
readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.   
For  the  purposes  of  the  Statement  of  Cash  Flows,  cash  and  cash  equivalents  consist  of  cash  and  cash 
equivalents as defined above. 

(g) 

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. 

(h) 

Investments and other financial assets 

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

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 

Peppermint Innovation Limited 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 
Financial  assets  not  measured  at  amortised  cost  or  at  fair  value  through  other  comprehensive  income  are 
classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: 
(i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of 
making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value 
movements are recognised in profit or loss. 

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income 
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the Group 
intends  to  hold  for  the  foreseeable  future  and  has  irrevocably  elected  to  classify  them  as  such  upon  initial 
recognition. 

Derivatives 
A derivative embedded in a hybrid contract, with a financial liability or non-financial host, is separated from 
the host and accounted for as a separate derivative if: the economic characteristics and risks are not closely 
related  to  the  host;  a  separate  instrument  with  the  same  terms  as  the  embedded  derivative  would  meet  the 
definition of a derivative; and the hybrid contract is not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Embedded 
derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Reassessment 
only occurs if there is either a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows 
that would otherwise be required or a reclassification of a financial asset out of the fair value through profit or 
loss category. 

A  derivative  embedded  within  a  hybrid  contract  containing  a  financial  asset  host  is  not  accounted  for 
separately. The financial asset host together with the embedded derivative is required to be classified in its 
entirety as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss. 

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

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

For  financial  assets  measured  at  fair  value  through  other  comprehensive  income,  the  loss  allowance  is 
recognised within other comprehensive income. In all other cases, the loss allowance is recognised in profit or 
loss. 

(i) 

Intangible assets 

Research and development costs 

Research  costs  are  expensed  as  incurred.  An  intangible  asset  arising  from  development  expenditure  on  an 
internal project is recognised only when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the 
intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell 
the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the 
development and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its 
development.  Following  the  initial  recognition  of  the  development  expenditure,  the  cost  model  is  applied 
requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 

Peppermint Innovation Limited 

Any expenditure so capitalised is amortised over the period of expected benefit from the related project on a 
straight line basis. 

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

Licences 

Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any 
accumulated  impairment  losses.  Internally  generated  intangible  assets,  excluding  capitalised  development 
costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is charged against profit or loss in the year in which the expenditure 
is incurred. 

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite 
lives are amortised over the useful life on a straight line basis and assessed for impairment whenever there is 
an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method 
for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at each financial year-end. Changes in the 
expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset 
are  accounted  for  by  changing  the  amortisation  period  or  method,  as  appropriate,  which  is  a  change  in 
accounting estimate. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in profit or 
loss in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset. 

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the 
cash-generating unit level. Such intangibles are not amortised. The useful life of an intangible asset with an 
indefinite life is reviewed each reporting period to determine whether indefinite life assessment continues to 
be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is accounted for as a 
change in an accounting estimate and is thus accounted for on a prospective basis. 

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

(j) 

Income tax 

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

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

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

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

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

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 

Peppermint Innovation Limited 

which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses 
can be utilised, except: 

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

•  when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or 
interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is 
probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be 
available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. 

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent 
that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred 
income tax asset to be utilised. 

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent 
that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. 

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

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss. 

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

(k) 

Other taxes 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) except: 

•  when  the  GST  incurred  on  a  purchase  of  goods  and  services  is  not  recoverable  from  the  taxation 
authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part 
of the expense item as applicable; and 
receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included. 

• 

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables 
or payables in the Statement of Financial Position. 

Cash flows are included in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component 
of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the 
taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows. 

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

(l) 

Impairment of assets 

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any 
such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate 
of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell 
and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows 
that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset's value in use cannot 
be estimated to be close to its fair value.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 

Peppermint Innovation Limited 

An  assessment  is  also  made  at  each  reporting  date  as  to  whether  there  is  any  indication  that  previously 
recognised  impairment  losses  may  no  longer  exist  or  may  have  decreased.  If  such  indication  exists,  the 
recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a 
change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was 
recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That 
increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, 
had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.  

Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the 
reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future 
periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its 
remaining useful life. 

(m)  Contract liabilities 

Contract  liabilities  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. The liability is the Group's obligation to transfer goods or 
services to a customer from which it has received consideration. 

(n) 

Interest-bearing loans and borrowings 

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly 
attributable transaction costs.  After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently 
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.  Gains and losses are recognised in profit or 
loss when the liabilities are de-recognised. 

Borrowings 
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently 
measured at amortised cost or fair value. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and 
the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective 
interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan 
to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is 
deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of 
the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over 
the period of the facility to which it relates. 

General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production 
of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to prepare the asset for its intended 
use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period to get ready for their intended 
use or sale. Borrowing costs cease to be capitalised upon the earlier of extinguishment of the liability or the 
commencement of commercial production from the qualifying asset. 

Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract 
is discharged, cancelled or expired. Where the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and the entity 
issues equity instruments to a creditor to extinguish all or part of the liability (debt for equity swap), a gain or 
loss is recognised in profit or loss, which is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the 
financial liability and the fair value of the equity instruments issued. 

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement 
of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

(o) 

Provisions 

Peppermint Innovation Limited 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past 
event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the 
obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. 

When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, 
the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The 
expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of  profit and loss and other comprehensive 
income net of any reimbursement.  

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that 
reflects the risks specific to the liability. 

When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance 
cost. 

Employee Benefits 

Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-monetary  benefits,  annual  leave  and  accumulating  long 
service leave are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They 
are  measured  at  the  amounts  expected  to  be  paid  when  the  liabilities  are  settled.  Liabilities  for  non-
accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable. 

(p) 

Share-based payment transactions 

The Group provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) and consultants of the Group in the 
form of share-based payments, whereby employees and consultants render services in exchange for shares or 
rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).  

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees and consultants are measured by reference to the 
fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an 
internal valuation using an option pricing model. 

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions 
linked to the price of the shares of the Group (market conditions) if applicable. 

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the 
period  in  which  the  performance  and/or  service  conditions  are  fulfilled,  ending  on  the  date  on  which  the 
relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period). 

The  cumulative  expense  recognised  for  equity-settled  transactions  at  each  reporting  date  until  vesting  date 
reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Group’s best estimate of the number 
of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance 
conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant 
date.  The  statement  of  comprehensive  income  charge  or  credit  for  a  period  represents  the  movement  in 
cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.   

No  expense  is  recognised  for  awards  that  do  not  ultimately  vest,  except  for  awards  where  vesting  is  only 
conditional upon a market condition.  If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an 
expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any 
modification  that  increases  the  total  fair  value  of  the  share-based  payment  arrangement,  or  is  otherwise 
beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification. 

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any 
expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted 
for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and

paragraph. 

(q) 

Issued capital 

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

(r) 

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. 

(s) 

Foreign currency translation 

The  financial  statements  are  presented  in  Australian  dollars,  which  is  Peppermint  Innovation  Limited's 
functional and presentation currency. 

Foreign currency transactions 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars 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. 

(t) 

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. 

(u) 

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.

Inventories 

Peppermint Innovation Limited 

Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value on 
a 'first in first out' basis. Cost comprises of direct materials and delivery costs, direct labour, import duties and 
other taxes, an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure based on normal operating 
capacity,  and,  where  applicable,  transfers  from  cash  flow  hedging  reserves  in  equity.  Costs  of  purchased 
inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts received or receivable. 

Stock in transit is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises of purchase and delivery 
costs, net of rebates and discounts received or receivable. 

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

(w) 

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 (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows: 

Plant and equipment: 

3-7 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. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained 
profits. 

(x) 

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. 

(y) 

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 days of recognition.

(z) 

Lease liabilities 

Peppermint Innovation Limited 

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. 

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. 

(aa) 

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. 

(bb)  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. 

(cc) 

Employee benefits 

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

(dd)  Fair value of assets and liabilities 

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

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

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

These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. 

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 

Peppermint Innovation Limited 

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

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

Valuation techniques 
In the absence of an active market for an identical asset or liability, the Group selects and uses one or more 
valuation techniques to measure the fair value of the asset or liability, The Group selects a valuation technique 
that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The 
availability  of  sufficient  and  relevant  data  primarily  depends  on  the  specific  characteristics  of  the  asset  or 
liability being measured.  

(ee) 

Earnings per share 

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

2. 

SEGMENT REPORTING 

The Group operates predominantly in the mobile banking, payment and remittance industry.  For management 
purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on its services and has three reportable segments, 
as follows: 

•  mobile banking and payment services, presently operating in the Philippines; 
• 
• 

international remittances, recently established from Australia; and  
corporate and head office. 

No operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable operating segments. 

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions 
about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or 
loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements.  

Also, the Group’s financing (including finance costs and finance income) and income taxes are managed on a 
Group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.  

Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm’s length basis in a manner similar to transactions 
with third parties.

The convertible notes have a face value of $1,673,358 maturity of 30 April 2022, bear interest of 12% interest 
per  annum  from  the  date  of  receipt  of  funds  unless  redeemed  or  converted  earlier, are  unsecured,  and  are 
convertible into fully paid ordinary shares at $0.01 per share. The facility has been fully drawn. 

The value of conversion rights on convertible notes of $262,538 was recognised in the convertible note reserve 
(see Note 13) and is amortised as notional interest over the term of the convertible notes. 

Original convertible note: 

The convertible notes originally had a maturity date of 30 April 2020, or as the parties otherwise agree in 
writing, bear 12% interest per annum from the date of receipt of funds unless redeemed or converted earlier, 
and are convertible into fully paid ordinary shares at 2.5 cps ($0.025). 

The  convertible  notes  provided  the  holder  with  20  unlisted  options  with  an  exercise  price  of  $0.014  on  or 
before 20 May 2021 for every dollar drawn under the convertible note facility.  

The  convertible  notes  were  secured  by  the  Company’s  100%  owned  subsidiary  Zambian  Copper  Pty  Ltd, 
which held the Company’s mineral exploration project in Zambia. 

The $1,500,000 convertible note facility replaced an earlier facility of $250,000 maturing on 21 December 
2019  (see  Note  11(b)(ii))  by  increasing  the  convertible  note  face  value  to  $1,500,000  and  extending  the 
maturity date to 30 April 2020.

Peppermint Innovation Limited 

35,000,000 unlisted options with a $0.01 exercise price on or before 30 May 2021 were issued as consideration 
for extending the maturity of a $1,500,000 convertible note from 30 April 2020 to 30 April 2021 (see Note 
11(b)(i)). 

39,000,000  unlisted  options  with  a  $0.01  exercise  price  on  or  before  31  March  2021  were  issued  as  free 
attaching options to placements of shares (see Note 12). 

13. 

CONVERTIBLE NOTE RESERVE 

The convertible note reserve arises from bifurcating the derivatives embedded in the convertible notes (see 
Note 11 for further details). This includes the right of the holders to convert their notes into ordinary shares 
and any attaching options.  

Upon  the  restructuring  of  the  convertible  note  originally  maturing  on  20  April  2020,  the  value  in  the 
Convertible Note Reserve was transferred to Accumulated Losses.  Accordingly, the value in the Convertible 
Note Reserve is the ascribed value of the right of the holders of the replacement convertible note to convert 
their notes to ordinary shares.

The Group’s financial situation is not complex. Its activities may expose it to a variety of financial risks in the 
future: market risk (including currency risk and fair value interest rate risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash

performance of the Group.   

Risk management is carried out under an approved framework covering a risk management policy and internal 
compliance and control by management.  The Board identifies, evaluates and approves measures to address 
financial risks.

Financial risk management policies 

Peppermint Innovation Limited 

The  Board  of  Directors  has  overall  responsibility  for  the  establishment  of  the  Group’s  financial  risk 
management framework. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in 
market conditions and the Group’s activities. Mitigation strategies for specific risks faced are described below. 

Specific financial risk exposures and management 

The  main  risk  the  Group  is  exposed  to  through  its  financial  instruments  are  interest  rate  risk,  credit  risk, 
liquidity and foreign currency risk. 

Interest rate risk 

The Group is not exposed to any material interest rate risk. 

Credit risk 

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial 
loss to the Group. 

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and 
financial  institutions,  as  well  as  credit  exposure  to  wholesale  and  retail  customers,  including  outstanding 
receivables and committed transactions. 

The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable under financial instruments 
entered into by the Group. 

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk arises from the Group’s management of working capital and the finance charges and principal 
repayments on its debt instruments. It is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial 
obligations as and when they fall due. 

The  Group  manages  its  liquidity  needs  by  carefully  monitoring  scheduled  debt  servicing  payments  for 
liabilities as well as cash outflows for day-to-day operations.  

The Group’s liabilities have contractual maturities which are summarised below:

The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising 
the return to shareholders.  The capital structure of the Group consists of equity attributable to equity holders, 
comprising issued capital and retained earnings as disclosed in Note 12. 

The  Board  reviews  the  capital  structure  on  a  regular  basis  and  considers  the  cost  of  capital  and  the  risks 
associated with each class of capital. The Group will balance its overall capital structure through new share 
issues as well as the issue of debt, if the need arises. 

Sensitivity analysis 

The sensitivity effect of possible interest rate and foreign exchange rate movements have not been disclosed 
as they are not material. 

Fair value of financial instruments 

The  carrying  amount  of  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  recorded  in  the  financial  statements 
approximates  their  respective  net  fair  values,  determined  in  accordance  with  the  Company’s  accounting 
policies. All financial instruments for which fair value is recognised or disclosed are categorised within the 
fair value hierarchy, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole, 
is described as follows: 

•  Level 1 Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities 
•  Level  2  Valuation  techniques  for  which  the  lowest  level  input  that  is  significant  to  the  fair  value 

measurement is directly or indirectly observable 

•  Level  3  Valuation  techniques  for  which  the  lowest  level  input  that  is  significant  to  the  fair  value 

measurement is unobservable.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 
TO THE MEMBERS OF  
PEPPERMINT INNOVATION LIMITED 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Peppermint Innovation Limited (the  Company) and its subsidiaries (the 
Group), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022, the statement of profit or loss 
and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year 
then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the 
directors' declaration.  

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

(i)  giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2022 and of its financial 

performance for the year then ended; and  

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

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

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

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

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

Key Audit Matter 

How our audit addressed this matter 

Revenue 
Refer to Note 4 in the financial statements 

Revenue  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2022  was 
$1,312,760.  The  primary  revenue  source  is  the 
provision of mobile banking and payment services. 

Revenue  was  considered  a  key  audit  matter 
because  it  is  a  significant  account  balance  in  the 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income  and  the  process  of  revenue  recognition 
involves  multiple  revenue  streams  for  services  or 
products rendered.

How our audit addressed this matter 

Share-based payment 

Refer to Note 5 and 12 in the financial statements 

During the financial year, the Group issued options 
and performance rights in accordance with AASB 2 
Share-based  Payment,  recognising  capital  raising 
costs  of  $207,000  and  share  based  payment 
expenses of $218,131 from the issue of options and 
recognising  share  based  payment  expenses  of 
$100,217 from the issue of performance rights:

We determined this to be a key audit matter due to 
the  material  amount  of  the  share-based  payment 
and the significant judgement involved in assessing 
the fair value of the transactions in accordance with 
AASB 2 Share-based Payment.

Other Information  
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included 
in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022, but does not include the financial report and the 
auditor's report thereon.  

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

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

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

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

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as 
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of 
accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or 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_responsibilities/ar1.pdf.  
This description forms part of our auditor's report.
