Principal Activities 
Pointerra is a Perth, Western Australia-based company, focused on building a powerful on-line Data as a Service (DaaS) solution 

for mapping the earth from massive 3D point clouds. Pointerra’s cloud-based service is based on compression and visualisation 

algorithms which index massive point cloud data sets into a unified model, for which Pointerra has a Provisional Patent Application. 

The processed point cloud data has the capacity to be dynamically searched and visualised by anyone, anywhere.  

Review of Operations  

First cash receipts from paying customers 

Highlights 
• 
•  Key sales team hires in enterprise and surveyor channels 
•  Material growth in enterprise customer and surveyor channel sales pipelines 
•  Continued development of important enterprise level Tier-1 reseller and integration opportunities 
•  Continued technical R&D enhancements and IP protection milestones 

Sales, Partnerships and Software Licensing 

During  the  year  the  Company  focussed  on  signing  up  trial  customers  to  its  world-first  DaaS  solution  for  3D  data  in  both  the 

“surveyor & data capture professional” and “enterprise” channels. Pointerra grew this pipeline of trial customers across a range of 

sectors  in  these  channels  culminating  in  first  DaaS  sales  from  recurring  monthly  subscriptions  by  paying  customers  in  the 

“surveyor & data capture professional” channel during Q4. 

Growth in the sales pipeline provided the impetus to commence a recruitment process to provide additional resources for the 

sales team, which commenced in June and resulted in the addition to two experienced individuals who come to Pointerra from 

roles with global geospatial giants Hexagon and Trimble.

Directors’ Report 

The  new  recruits  have  made  an  immediate  impact  with  material  incremental  growth  in  the  sales  pipeline,  particularly  in  the 

enterprise customer channel where higher DaaS subscription price points are generated. Highlights of growth in the enterprise 

customer sales channel through the new sales recruits include the addition of government utilities (domestic and international) 

and global AEC (Architecture-Engineering-Construction) groups as trial licence customers. 

Pointerra also continued to work with several regional and global tier-1 partners from the geospatial, engineering, aerospace and 

technology sectors towards the goals of securing strategic partnerships (revenue generating enterprise reseller agreements) and 

technology integration (software licensing and royalty income) outcomes for the Company. 

ADVISIAN MOU 

Pointerra signed an MOU with Advisian Digital Enterprise, part of WorleyParsons Limited. Through the MOU, Pointerra will seek 

markets for its 3D data management and visualisation technology in conjunction with Advisian Digital Enterprise. Advisian is a 

global  consulting  firm  built  from  the  merger  of  Evans  &  Peck,  MTG  Ltd.  and  EcoNomics™  as  well  as  the  integration  of 

WorleyParsons Technical Consulting and INTECSEA. 

Pointerra is working with Advisian’s global Digital Enterprise team to provide the 3D data management and visualisation element 

of Advisian’s ASSURE  asset  management  solution  for  a  range  of  customer  applications  in  the  hydrocarbons,  infrastructure, 

minerals and metals and chemicals sectors. 

AAM MOU 

Pointerra signed an MOU with AAM, the largest geospatial company in our region.  AAM provides access to its valuable geospatial 

data  through  various channels, including  its  GEOCIRRUS  cloud-based  GIS solution  via a  DaaS  model  and the  GEOCIRRUS 

Discovery Portal (the AAM shopfront for data/content). 

As  part  of  expanding  and  improving  its  GEOCIRRUS  strategy, AAM  has  agreed  to  licence,  under  a  commercial  agreement, 

Pointerra’s  unique  3D  geospatial  technology.  Both  parties  are  currently  working  to  integrate  Pointerra’s  technology  into 

GEOCIRRUS, enabling AAM to more effectively sell access to its 3D data library. 

Under the MOU Pointerra will also be licenced by AAM to sell access to AAM’s 3D data (and derivative products) through its own 

3D data marketplace. 

The full commercial terms of the relationship are being documented in a formal technology licence and partnership agreement, 

which was initially envisaged to be concluded by the end of July and has been delayed by operational priorities but is still on track 

for completion in the near-term. 

Under the terms of the MOU, AAM will pay Pointerra a one-off licence fee for the use of Pointerra’s technology in GEOCIRRUS; 

AAM will pay Pointerra a royalty based on data usage through the GEOCIRRUS Discovery Portal; and Pointerra will pay AAM a 

royalty based on data sales made through Pointerra’s 3D data marketplace. 

RESELLER & PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENTS 

Pointerra also signed a number of reseller and partnership agreements during the year with NGIS, Curtin University, Esri, CR 

Kennedy and Blue Marble Geographics. These relationships have provided important technology UI and integration evaluation 

counterparties and continue to be developed and supported as they also provide important leveraged access to globally distributed 

revenue generating opportunities. 

The Company has a highly scalable, low cost business model to commercialise its technology and generate near-term revenue 

and earnings. A diversity of customer size, nature and geographic location, provides a growing sales and earnings pipeline to fund 

Pointerra’s ultimate vision of leading the global market for 3D data.

Directors’ Report 

R&D and Software Development 

During the year Pointerra’s technical team continued to enhance the deployment of the Company’s innovative 3D data solution in 

the Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) cloud environment and make our technology available for 3rd party integration evaluation 

through custom-API’s. 

The  Company  also  achieved  a  significant  commercial  and  technical  milestone,  being  the  release  of  a  commercially  saleable 

solution containing at least 100 billion points of 3D data, providing confirmation that the Company’s world-first technology had 

successfully passed the Class A Performance Share milestone hurdle. 

Through  a  combination  of  Pointerra’s  proprietary  storage  and  visualisation  technology  and  the massively  scalable AWS  cloud 

computing environment, the achievement of this milestone has allowed the Company to begin scaling its DaaS offering to trial 

and paying customers, as well as attracting technology licensing opportunities with leading regional and global geospatial sector 

players. 

Other development activities included: 

2nd generation technology stack functionally complete and now in final integration testing phases prior to deployment. 

• 
•  Cost optimisation through extensive use of Amazon spot pricing for all R&D work.  Resulted in cost reduction of around 
80% for R&D compute resources. Next phase will be to move as much of the production technology stack as possible to 

spot pricing. 

•  Progression of second patent to International Type Search stage. We have been advised that "it appears likely that a 

patent is able to be granted on the invention". 

•  Ongoing development of APIs for 3rd party developers to integrate our technology. 
•  Enabled AWS CloudFront distribution, providing 90 points of presence around the globe for fast response times for users 

outside of Australia. 

•  Many new product features, including; opened signups - anyone can sign up for a Pointerra account without needing an 

invitation; added Stripe payment system integration so that customers can select an area of points and purchase them 

instantly using their credit card; added guest token system so that paying customers can share their data with external 

users; development of new functionality to allow users to view individual scans or layers - this will greatly enhance the 

user experience for terrestrial laser scanning data. 

Corporate 

During the year several corporate events occurred including the change of roles for Non-Executive Director Graham Griffiths who 

assumed the role of Non-Executive Chairman, effective 1 July. 

Pointerra’s evolution from a technology development stage to a globally focused sales business sales-focussed outlook leverages 

the decades of international technology sales experience that Graham brings to the Company. Retiring Chairman Rob Newman 

continues to support the Company as a Non-Executive Director, providing the Company with continuity during the transition and 

ongoing industry skills relevant to Pointerra's global ambitions. 

During the year the Company in conjunction with corporate advisers, undertook a number of investor relations roadshows to the 

East Coast and also retained the services of a comprehensive research report by TMT Analytics. 

The Company also secured voluntary escrow extension for a further 12-months commencing 30 June 2017 by the holders of 

nearly  52  million  (previously  12-month  escrowed)  Vendor  Ordinary  Shares  and  just  over  120  million  (previously  12-month 

escrowed) Vendor Class A, B and C Performance Shares. 

Financial review 
During the year operating cash outflows were in line with management expectations. During Q4 the Company also commenced 

documentation of relevant R&D activities for the FY17 year in preparation for lodging a claim for a refundable tax offset under the 

federal government’s R&D tax incentive program. The relevant documentation was lodged and $496K was received subsequent 

to year end. The Company continues to operate a lean, agile, low-cost operating model as it begins to scale customer sales.

model  as  well as  by  seeking technology  licensing and  partnership  opportunities  with Tier-1  companies  across  the geospatial, 

technology, engineering and construction sectors to generate a mix of license fees and royalties. Pointerra’s ultimate vision is to 

create  an  online  marketplace  for  the  massive  amounts  of  3D  point  cloud  data  currently  captured  by  governments  and  the 

commercial sector globally.

Directors’ Report 

Remuneration Philosophy 

The performance of the company depends upon the quality of its Directors and Executives. To prosper, the company must attract, 
motivate and retain highly skilled Directors and Executives. 

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

‘The Board as a whole is responsible for considering remuneration policies and packages applicable both to board members and 
senior executives of the company. The Board remuneration policy is to ensure the remuneration package, which is not linked to 
the performance of the company, properly reflects the person’s duties and responsibilities and that remuneration is competitive in 
attracting, retaining and motivating people of the highest quality.’ 

Remuneration Structure 

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and senior manager remuneration 
is separate and distinct. The company does not engage remuneration consultants. 

Non-executive Director Remuneration 

Objective 

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

Structure 

The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined 
from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the Directors 
as agreed. The current aggregate remuneration pool is $500,000 per year. 

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 may consider advice from external consultants as well as the fees paid to non-executive 
Directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process. Each director receives a fee for being a Director 
of the company. 

Non-executive  Directors  are  encouraged  by  the  Board  to  hold  shares  in  the  company.  It  is  considered  good  governance  for 
directors to have a stake in the Company on whose board he or she sits. 

Voting on the Remuneration Report 

At the Company’s 2016 Annual General Meeting a resolution to adopt the 2016 Remuneration Report was put to vote and passed 
unanimously  on  a  show  of  hands,  with  the  proxy  received  also  indicating  majority  (90%)  support  in  favour  of  adopting  the 
Remuneration Report. 

Managing Director and Executive Remuneration Structure 

Based on the current stage in the company’s development, its size, structure and strategies, the Board considers that the key 
performance indicator in assessing the performance of Executives and their contribution towards increasing shareholder value is 
commercially based, inclusive of share price performance over the review period. 

Individual and company operating targets associated with traditional financial and non-financial measures are difficult to set given 
the small number of Executives and their need to be flexible and multi-tasked, as the company responds to a continually changing 
business environment. Consequently, a formal process of defining Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) and setting targets against 
the KPI’s has not been adopted at the present time. 

The proportion of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration is established for each Executive by the Board. 

Fixed Remuneration 

The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration, which is both appropriate to the position and 
is competitive in the market. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board; having regard to the Company and individual 
performance, relevant comparable remuneration in the industry sector and, where appropriate, external advice. Executives receive 
their fixed remuneration in cash.

Directors’ Report 

Variable Remuneration – Short-Term Incentive (STI) 

The objective of the STI is to link the achievement of corporate and operational objectives over the year with the remuneration 
received by the Executives charged with achieving that increase. The total potential STI available is set at a level so as to provide 
sufficient incentive to the Executives to achieve the performance goals and such that the cost to the company is reasonable in the 
circumstances. 

Annual  STI  payments  granted  to  each  Executive  depend  on  their  performance  over  the  preceding  year  and  are  based  on 
recommendations from the Managing Director and/or the Chairman following collaboration with the Board. Typically included are 
measures such as contribution to strategic initiatives, risk management and leadership/team contribution. 

The  aggregate of  annual  STI payments  available  for  Executives  across  the company  is subject  to  the  approval  of  the Board. 
Payments are usually delivered as a cash bonus. There were no STI payments made during the financial year. 

Variable Remuneration – Long-Term Incentive (LTI) 

The objective of the LTI plan is to reward Executives in a manner, which aligns the element of remuneration with the creation of 
shareholder wealth. As such LTI’s are made to Executives who are able to influence the generation of shareholder wealth and 
thus have an impact on the company’s performance. 

The  level  of  LTI  granted  is,  in  turn,  dependent  on  a  number  of  factors  including,  the  seniority  of  the  Executive  and  the 
responsibilities the Executive assumes in the company. 

LTI grants to Executives are delivered in the form of options. These options are issued at an exercise price determined by the 
Board at the time of issue.  

Typically, the grant of LTIs occurs at the commencement of employment or in the event that the individual receives a promotion 
and, as such, is not subsequently affected by the individual’s performance over time. 

However, under certain circumstances, including breach of employment conditions, the Directors may cause the options to expire 
prior to their vesting date. In addition, individual performance is more commonly rewarded over time by STIs. 

No LTI options were issued during the financial year. 

Company performance, shareholder wealth and Director and executive remuneration 
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders, Directors and executives. Options 

issued to Directors have an exercise price higher than the current share price of the Company.

The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with 
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the 
Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards 
(IFRS) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Pointerra Limited and its subsidiaries at the reporting 
date (the “Group”).  

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are measured at historical cost, except for 
assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations, which are initially measured at fair value. All amounts are presented in 
Australian dollars.  

Accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. 

Acquisition of Pointerra Pty Ltd 
On 30 June 2016, Pointerra Limited (formerly Soil Sub Technologies Limited) acquired 100% of the ordinary share capital of 
Pointerra Pty Ltd. In accordance with reverse asset acquisition accounting principles under AASB 3 Business Combinations, 
Pointerra Pty Ltd is the deemed acquirer of Soil Sub Technologies Limited. 

Basis of consolidation 
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date the Group obtains control until such time as control ceases. 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.   

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent 
accounting policies. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and 
expenses and profit and losses arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full.  

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method involves 
recognising at acquisition date, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-
controlling interest in the acquiree. The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are measured at their acquisition 
date fair values.  The difference between the above items and the fair value of the consideration (including the fair value of any 
pre-existing investment in the acquiree) is goodwill or a discount on acquisition.   

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the separate financial statements of Pointerra Limited. 

Income tax 

The income tax expense / (benefit) for the year comprises current income tax expense / (income) and deferred tax expense / 
(income). 

Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income 
tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date.  Current tax liabilities / (assets) are therefore measured at the 
amounts expected to be paid to / (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

NOTE 2.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year and 
unused tax losses. 

Current and deferred income tax expense / (benefit) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of profit or loss when the tax 
relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and 
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully 
expensed but future tax deductions are available.  No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an 
asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is 
realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date.  Their measurement also 
reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. 

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable 
that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. 

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred 
tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it 
is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future. 

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement 
or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are 
offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by 
the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement 
or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant 
amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. 

Tax consolidation legislation 
Pointerra Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiary have not implemented tax consolidation legislation. 

Plant and equipment 
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any 
accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable 
amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are 
recognised either in the profit and loss or as a revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate to a revalued asset. A formal 
assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present. 

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by the Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the 
recoverable amount from these assets.  The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that 
will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal.  The expected net cash flows have been discounted to 
their present values in determining recoverable amounts. 

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is 
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be 
measured reliably.  All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are 
incurred. 

Intangibles 

Other intangible assets, including customer relationships, patents and trademarks, that are acquired by the Group and have 
finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. 

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to 
which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in profit 
or loss as incurred. 

Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values using the straight-line 
method over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognised in profit or loss. Goodwill is not amortised.  

The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows: 

–  patents and trademarks:  

5–20 years

NOTE 2.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

Financial Instruments 
Recognition and initial measurement 
Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the Company becomes a party 
to the contractual provisions of the instrument.  Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within 
timeframes established by marketplace convention. 

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair 
value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are 
expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below. 

Classification and subsequent measurement 
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either of fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, 
or cost.  Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, 
willing parties.  Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value.  In other circumstances, 
valuation techniques are adopted. 

Amortised cost is calculated as: 

the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition; 
less principal repayments; 

a) 
b) 
c)  plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity 

amount calculated using the effective interest method;  
less any reduction for impairment. 

d) 

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to 
the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums 
or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial 
instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will 
necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss. 

Impairment of assets 
At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The 
assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from 
subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an 
impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair 
value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its 
recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of comprehensive income. 

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable 
amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.  

Employee Benefits 
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave expected to be settled within twelve 
months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ 
services up to the end of the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are 
settled. The liability for annual leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. No liabilities are recognised for non-
accumulating sick leave.  

The liability for long service leave and other employee entitlements expected to be settled more than 12 months from the 
reporting date is recognised and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services 
provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future 
wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and years of service. Expected future payments are discounted 
using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as 
possible, the estimated future cash outflows.    

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation funds are recognised as an expense as they become payable.

NOTE 2.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

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

Transactions and balances 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the 
transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at 
historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair 
value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined. 

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except where deferred in 
equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge. 

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other comprehensive income to 
the extent that the underlying gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income; otherwise the exchange difference is 
recognised in profit or loss. 

Share-based payment transactions 
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with Directors and 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 an internal valuation using a Black-
Scholes option pricing model.  

For equity transactions with consultants and other employees, the fair value reflects the value attributable to services where 
applicable. Where there is no quantifiable value of services, the value of options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option 
pricing model, or the quoted bid price where applicable. 

Cash and cash equivalents 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments 
with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in 
current liabilities on the balance sheet. 

Trade and other payables 
Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial 
year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within thirty days of recognition. Trade and other 
payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within twelve months from the reporting date.  They are 
recognised at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.  

Issued capital 
Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company.  Any transaction costs 
arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction net of tax of the share proceeds received. 

Earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to 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 any bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the 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-tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares; and  
the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of 
all dilutive potential ordinary shares. 

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

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.  

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.  

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

for the year ended 30 June 2017 (continued) 

NOTE 2.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

Goods and Services Tax (GST) 
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not 
recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition 
of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown 
inclusive of GST.  

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and 
financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. 

Comparatives 

When required by accounting standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the 
current financial year. 

Critical accounting estimates and judgments 
The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best 
available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and 
economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company. 

Key Estimate – Share-based payments 

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with Directors and employees by reference to the fair value of 
the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes model using 
the assumptions disclosed in Note 20. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity settled share-based 
payments used would have no impact on assets and liabilities within the next reporting period but may impact expenses and 
equity. 

New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted 
The Group has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by AASB that are 
mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any 
significant impact on the financial performance or position of the group during the financial year. 

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

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 2017. 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. 

AASB 9 Financial Instruments 
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard replaces all previous 
versions of AASB 9 and completes the project to replace IAS 39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'. AASB 9 
introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised 
cost, if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, which arise 
on specified dates and solely principal and interest. All other financial instrument assets are to be classified and measured at fair 
value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on 
equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive income ('OCI'). For financial liabilities, the standard 
requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity's own credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would 
create an accounting mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting 
treatment with the risk management activities of the entity. New impairment requirements will use an 'expected credit loss' 
('ECL') model to recognise an allowance. Impairment will be measured under a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on 
a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. The 
standard introduces additional new disclosures. The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 but the impact of its 
adoption is unlikely to have a material effect based on the current position of the Group.

NOTE 2.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard provides a single 
standard for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer 
of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be 
entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will require: contracts (either written, verbal or implied) to be 
identified, together with the separate performance obligations within the contract; determine the transaction price, adjusted for 
the time value of money excluding credit risk; allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on a 
basis of relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service, or estimation approach if no distinct observable prices 
exist; and recognition of revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Credit risk will be presented separately as an 
expense rather than adjusted to revenue. For goods, the performance obligation would be satisfied when the customer obtains 
control of the goods. For services, the performance obligation is satisfied when the service has been provided, typically for 
promises to transfer services to customers. For performance obligations satisfied over time, an entity would select an 
appropriate measure of progress to determine how much revenue should be recognised as the performance obligation is 
satisfied. Contracts with customers will be presented in an entity's statement of financial position as a contract liability, a contract 
asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity's performance and the customer's payment. Sufficient 
quantitative and qualitative disclosure is required to enable users to understand the contracts with customers; the significant 
judgements made in applying the guidance to those contracts; and any assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a 
contract with a customer. The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 but the impact of its adoption is unlikely to have a 
material effect based on the current position of the Group. 

AASB 16 Leases 
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 
‘Leases’ and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a ‘right-
of-use’ asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured as the present value of the unavoidable future 
lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of 
low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby 
either a ‘right-of-use’ asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding 
to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs 
incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense 
recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest 
expense on the recognised lease liability (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 will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest 
expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease 
payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) 
component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The Group will 
adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 but the impact of its adoption is unlikely to have a material effect based on the current 
position of the Group. 

AASB 2016-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment 
Transactions 
The amendments clarify the following: 
1. 

In estimating the fair value of a cash-settled share-based payment, the accounting for the effects of vesting and non-vesting 
conditions should follow the same approach as for equity settled share based payments 

2.  Where tax law or regulation requires an entity to withhold a specified number of equity instruments equal to the monetary 

value of the employee’s tax obligation to meet the employee’s tax liability which is then remitted to the tax authority, i.e. the 
share-based payment arrangement has a ‘net settlement feature’, such an arrangement should be classified as equity 
settled in its entirety, provided that the share-based payment would have been classified as equity-settled had it not 
included the net settlement feature 

3.  A modification of a share-based payment that changes the transaction from cash settled to equity settled should be 

accounted for as follows:  
- 
- 

The original liability is derecognised  
The equity-settled share based payment is recognised at the modification date fair value of the equity instrument 
granted to the extent that services have been rendered up to the modification date 
Any difference between the carrying amount of the liability at the modification date and the amount recognised in equity 
should be recognised in profit or loss immediately.  

- 

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 with earlier application 
permitted. Specific transition provisions apply. The directors of the Company do not anticipate that the application of the 
amendments in the future will have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements as the Group does not 
have any cash settled share based payment arrangements or any withholding tax arrangements with tax authorities in relation to 
share based payments.

NOTE 3.  Business Combinations 

On 30 June 2016, Pointerra Limited (formerly Soil Sub Technologies Limited) acquired 100% of the ordinary share capital of 
Pointerra Pty Ltd as detailed in the prospectus lodged with the ASX on 29 April 2016. 

In accordance with reverse asset acquisition accounting principles, Pointerra Pty Ltd is the deemed acquirer of Soil Sub 
Technologies Limited, as Pointerra Pty Ltd gained control of the Board and voting power by virtue of shareholdings.  The 
consideration is deemed to have been incurred by Pointerra Pty Ltd in the form of equity instruments issued to Soil Sub 
Technologies Limited shareholders.  The consolidation of these two companies is on the basis of the continuation of Pointerra 
Pty Ltd with no fair value adjustments, whereby Pointerra Pty Ltd is the accounting parent.  Therefore, the most appropriate 
treatment for the transaction is to account for it under AASB 2 Share Based Payments, whereby Pointerra Pty Ltd is deemed to 
have issued shares to Soil Sub Technologies Limited shareholders in exchange for the net assets held by Soil Sub Technologies 
Limited. 

In this instance, the value of the Soil Sub Technologies Ltd shares provided has been determined as the notional number of 
equity instruments that the shareholders of Pointerra Pty Ltd would have had to issue to Soil Sub Technologies Ltd to give the 
owners of Pointerra Pty Ltd the same percentage ownership in the combined entity. 

The acquisition date fair value of this consideration has been determined with reference to the fair value of the issued shares of 
Soil Sub Technologies Limited immediately prior to the acquisition and has been determined to be $1,050,514 based on 35,017,127 
shares  based  on  a  value  of  $0.03  per  share,  being  the  issue  price  under  the  Prospectus.  As  a  result,  transaction  costs  of 
$1,891,727 have been determined being the difference between the consideration and the fair value of net assets of Soil Sub 
Technologies Limited as at the acquisition date. 

Below is a summary of the consideration transferred and fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired at acquisition date.

On 28 June 2017 45,000,000 Class A performance shares were converted as a result of achieving the performance milestone 

of releasing a commercially saleable product based on a 3D dynamic points database containing at least 100 billion points. 

Upon conversion, the shares into which performance shares convert will rank equally with other ordinary shares. 

If the relevant milestone is not achieved by the required date, each performance share in that class will be automatically 

redeemed by the Company for $0.00001 within 10 business days of non-satisfaction of the milestone. 

Options 
At the end of the year, the following options over unissued ordinary shares were outstanding: 

- 

107,000,000 options expiring 30 June 2019 at an exercise price of $0.05. 

Capital Management 
The Directors' objectives when managing capital are to ensure that the Company can fund its operations and continue as a 

going concern, so that they may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. 

Due to the nature of the Company's activities, the Company does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary 

source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Company's capital risk management is the current working 

capital position against the requirements of the Company to meet business development and corporate overheads. The 

Company's strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to 

initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.

NOTE 26. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

(a)  Financial Risk Management 

The Company's financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks and accounts payable. The main purpose of 

non-derivative financial instruments are to raise finance for company operations. The Company does not have any 

derivative instruments at 30 June 2017. 

i. 

Liquidity Risk 

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the company might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise 

meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. 

The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient 

cash and marketable securities are available to meet the current and future commitments of the Company. Due to the 

nature of the Company's activities, the Company does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of 

funding being equity raisings. The Board of Directors constantly monitor the state of equity markets in conjunction with the 

Company's current and future funding requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. Any 

surplus funds are invested with major financial institutions. 

The financial liabilities of the Company are confined to trade and other payables and current borrowings, as disclosed in 

the statement of financial position. All trade and other payables are non-interest bearing and due within 12 months of the 

reporting date. Current borrowings are non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment. 

ii.  Market Risk 

The Board meets on a regular basis to analyse currency and interest rate exposure and to evaluate treasury management 

strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts. 

iii. 

Interest rate risk 

Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period 

whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments. 

The Company is also exposed to earnings volatility on floating rate instruments. Interest rate risk is not material to the 

Company as no debt arrangements have been entered into. 

iv.  Foreign exchange risk 

The company is not exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies. 

v.  Credit Risk 

Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the Directors in accordance with 

approved Board policy. Such policy requires that surplus funds are only invested with counterparties with a Standard & 

Poor's rating of at least AA-. The following table provides information regarding the credit risk relating to cash and money 

market securities based on Standard & Poor's counterparty credit ratings.

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined on the exposure to interest rates at the reporting date and on the 

basis of the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the year and held constant throughout the reporting 

period. A sensitivity of 0.5% has been selected, as this is considered reasonable considering the current market 

conditions (2016: 0.5%). 

At 30 June 2017, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant,

Independent Auditor's Report 

To the Members of Pointerra Limited 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Pointerra Limited (“the Company”) and its 
subsidiaries (“the Consolidated Entity”), which comprises the consolidated statement of 
financial position as at 30 June 2017, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and 

other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the 
consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial 
statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ 
declaration. 

In our opinion: 

a. 

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

(i) 

giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as 
at 30 June 2017 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; 

and 

(ii) 

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations 
Regulations 2001. 

b. 

the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards 
as disclosed in Note 2. 

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.  Those 
standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit 
engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 

whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. 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 Consolidated Entity 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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to 
provide a basis for our opinion. 

 
 
 
 
 
Independent Auditor’s Report 
To the Members of Pointerra Limited (Continued) 

Key Audit Matters 

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

Key Audit Matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Recognition of Research & Development Tax 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

Incentive  

(Refer to note 7) 

  obtaining an understanding of the objectives and 

activities in the R&D program; 

Under the Research and Development (“R&D”) tax 

reviewing the lodgment documents and related 

incentive scheme, the Consolidated Entity receives 

working papers utilised by the expert engaged by 

a 43.5% refundable tax offset of eligible expenditure.  

the Consolidated Entity; 

An R&D submission has been filed with AusIndustry, 

and a receivable of $496,376 has been recorded at 

year end representing the claim to be received for 

the year ended 30 June 2017. 

This area is a key audit matter due to the inherent 

subjectivity that is involved in the Consolidated 

Entity making judgements in relation to estimation 

  assessing the scope of services and capabilities 

of the expert engaged by the Consolidated 

Entity; 

  comparing the eligible expenditure used in the 

receivable calculation to the expenditure 

recorded in the general ledger;  

and recognition of the R&D tax incentive income and 

  agreeing the receipt of the refund to the bank 

receivable.  

statement subsequent to year end; and 

  assessing the adequacy of the disclosures in the 

financial report. 

Other Information  

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

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

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

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

 
 
 
 
 
 
Independent Auditor’s Report 
To the Members of Pointerra Limited (Continued) 

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 Note 2, the 
directors also state in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial 

Statements, that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.  

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

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. 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. 

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement 
and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or 
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is 

sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material 
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve 
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that 
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the 
effectiveness of the Consolidated Entity’s internal control. 

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. 

Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, 

based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or 
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Consolidated Entity’s ability to continue as a going 
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our 
auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to 
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our 
auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Consolidated Entity to cease to 
continue as a going concern. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Independent Auditor’s Report 
To the Members of Pointerra Limited (Continued) 

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, 
and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that 
achieves fair presentation. 

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or 
business activities within the Consolidated Entity to express an opinion on the financial report. We are 
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Consolidated Entity audit. We remain 

solely responsible for our audit opinion. 

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit 
and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our 
audit. 

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements 
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may 
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. 

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance 

in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe 
these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or 
when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report 
because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest 
benefits of such communication. 

Report on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2017.  
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report 
in accordance with s 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the 

remuneration report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. 

Auditor’s Opinion 

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of the Company, for the year ended 30 June 2017, complies with 
section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
