Directors’ Report 

The Board of Directors presents the following report on Rent.com.au Limited and its controlled entities 
(referred to hereafter as ‘the Group’) for the year ended 30 June 2017. 

Directors 

The names of the Directors in office during the whole of the financial year and until the date of this 
report are as follows.  All directors were in office for the entire period unless otherwise stated: 

Dr. Garry Garside 
Mr. Philip Warren 
Mr. John Wood 
Mr. Sam McDonagh 
Mr. Mark Woschnak 

Non-Executive Chairman 
Non-Executive Director

Non-Executive Director 
Managing Director (Resigned 22 July 2016) 

Principal Activities 

The Group operates real estate websites focusing on the rental property market. The primary website 
operated by the Group is www.rent.com.au.  

Review of Operations 

The Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income shows a net operating 
loss  after  tax  of  $8,513,631  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2017  (for  year  ended  30  June 
2016: $12,820,585).  The  net  operating  loss  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2017  included  a  non-cash 
share  based  payments  expense  of  $2,243,418  (30  June  2016:  $5,447,424)  associated  with 
performance based convertible securities issued to advisors, shareholders and employees.  Earnings 
Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortisation (and excluding non-cash share based payments) 
for the year ended 30 June 2017 was a loss of $5,822,425 (30 June 2016: $7,216,670). 

During the year ended 30 June 2017 the Group took great strides towards its commercialisation goals, 
growing revenue by 121% over the previous year. Key to this growth has been the launch of Renter 
Resume, an industry leading feature which the Group launched in October 2016. Since launch on 21st 
October  2016,  resume  creation  has  averaged  a  consistent  500  resumes  per  day,  totalling  almost 
130,000 Renter Resumes by 30 June 2017.  

Renter Resume allows a renter to create a detailed profile which can be enhanced using some of the 
Group’s  renter  products  such  as  RentCheck  and  RentBond.  The  Group  has  repositioned  these 
products,  changing  providers  where  necessary,  and  the  process  now  also  allows  the  Group  to 
introduce other products such as RentConnect in a non-intrusive way. These changes set up future 
growth for the Group but have also had immediate results, with revenue from renter products growing 
by 160% over the prior year. 

The Group has also improved its offering to third party advertisers, growing advertising revenue by 
122% over the prior year despite maintaining consistent levels of unique visitors (growth of only 17%) 
relative to the prior year. 

The Group has maintained an efficient cost base, taking opportunities to realise savings where they 
do not harm revenue growth. Overhead costs have been halved (fourth quarter relative to the same 
quarter in 2016) and marketing has also been made more efficient, with quarterly expenditure reducing 
by 39% while visitor numbers have remained stable. 

Dividends 

No dividend has been paid or recommended by the Directors since the commencement of the financial 
period.

Directors’ Report (continued) 

Significant Changes in State of Affairs 

On  26  October  2016,  the  Group  successfully  completed  the  placement  (“the  Placement”)  of 
13,000,000 shares with institutional and sophisticated investors under its Listing Rule 7.1 placement 
capacity.  The  placement  was  completed  at  an  issue  price  of  $0.10  per  share,  raising  $1,300,000 
(before costs). 

renounceable 
On 16 November 2016, the Group successfully completed the fully underwritten, non
pro rata offer (“the Rights Issue”) of 37,197,542 shares at an issue price of $0.10 per share to raise 
$3,719,754 (before costs), bringing the total capital raised for the year to $5,019,754 (before costs). 

‐

The  capital  raised  via  the  Placement  and  the  Rights  Issue  will  be  used  to  help  accelerate 
commercialisation and the development of further key customer products and innovations similar to 
Renter Resume and Walk Score. 

Matters Subsequent to the end of the Financial Year 

No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial period which significantly 
affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations or the 
state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years. 

Likely Developments and Expected Results 

The Group remains focussed on its short term goal of cashflow break even, which it aims to achieve 
by  continuing  to  grow  its  Renter  Resume  online  rental  application  system  and  associated  revenue 
streams whilst maintaining as lean a cost structure as is practicable.  

Financial Position 

The  net  assets  of  the  Group  have  decreased  from  $5,217,209  at  30  June  2016  to  $3,592,578  at 
30 June 2017.  Cash  reserves  decreased  from  $6,080,209  at  30  June  2016  to  $3,254,380  at 
30 June 2017.

Directors’ Report (continued) 

Non-Audit Services 

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided by the auditor 
are outlined in Note 7 to the financial statements. 

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

The Board is of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 7 to the financial statements do not 
compromise the external auditor’s independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the 
following reasons:  
 

all non-audit services are subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Group 
and review of the audit committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of 
the auditor; and 
all  non-audit  services  provided  do  not  undermine  the  general  principles  relating  to  auditor 
independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did 
not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision 
making capacity for the Group, acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing risks and 
rewards.

Governance Policy. 

The  following  items  are  considered  and  discussed  as  deemed  necessary  at  the  remuneration 
committee meetings: 
 
 
 

make specific recommendations to the board on remuneration of directors and senior officers; 
recommend the terms and conditions of employment for any Executive Directors; 
undertake a review of any Executive Director’s performance, at least annually, including setting 
any  Executive  Director  goals  for  the  coming  year  and  reviewing  progress  in  achieving  those 
goals; 
consider and report on the recommendations and remuneration of any Executive Directors; and 
develop and facilitate a process for Board and Director evaluation. 

 
 

Non-Executive Directors 

Fees  and  payments  to  non-executive  directors  reflect  the  demands  which  are  made  on,  and  the 
responsibilities of, the directors. Non-executive directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually 
by the remuneration committee.  

Directors’ Fees 

Non-executive directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate directors’ fee pool limit, which is 
periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The maximum currently stands at $350,000 
per annum and was approved at a previous annual general meeting.   

The following fees were paid since 1 July 2016: 
Non-executive directors1: 
Managing director2: 
1Total fee paid to Garry Garside, John Wood, Sam McDonagh and Philip Warren.  
2Fee paid to Mark Woschnak on his resignation.  This included payout of accrued long service leave and accrued annual 
leave.

A. 

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (cont’d) 

Additional fees 

A director may also be paid fees or other amounts as the directors determine if a director performs 
special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a director. A 
director may also be reimbursed for out of pocket expenses incurred as a result of their directorship 
or any special duties. 

Retirement allowances for directors 

Superannuation  contributions  required  under  the  Australian  Superannuation  Guarantee  Legislation 
continue to be made and are deducted from the directors’ overall fee entitlements. 

Executive pay 

The executive pay and reward framework has the following components: 

 
 
 
 

base pay and benefits, including superannuation;  
car allowance;  
short-term incentives; and 
long-term incentives through participation in the Long Term Incentive Plan. 

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

Base pay 

The employment cost package which may be delivered as a combination of cash and prescribed non-
financial benefits at the executives’ discretion. 

Executives are offered a competitive base pay that comprises the fixed component of pay and rewards. 
Base pay for executives is reviewed annually to ensure the  executives’  pay is competitive with the 
market. An executive’s pay is also reviewed every 12 months and may increase every 12 months. 

Benefits 

No benefits other than noted above are paid to directors or management except as incurred in normal 
operations of the business.  

Long term incentives 

Long  term  incentives  have  been  provided  to  directors  and  employees  through  the  issue  of 
performance shares, employee options and performance rights. 

At the annual general meeting of the Group, the Long Term Incentive Plan (‘LTIP’) was approved by 
shareholders.  The  LTIP  allows  the  Group  to  provide  incentives  which  promote  the  long  term 
performance, growth and support of the Group. 

The LTIP provides for the issuance of: 

 

Performance Rights which, upon a determination by the Board that the performance conditions 
attached to the Performance Rights have been met, will result in the issue of one ordinary Share 
in the Group for each Performance Right; and

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (cont’d) 

 

Plan Options which, upon a determination by the Board that the vesting conditions attached to 
the Plan  Options have been  met, will result in  the Plan Options vesting  and being able to be 
exercised into Shares by payment of the exercise price. 

To achieve its corporate objectives, the Group needs to attract and retain its key staff.   The Board 
believes that grants made to eligible participants under the Plan will provide a powerful tool to underpin 
the Group's employment and engagement strategy, and that the implementation of the Plan will: 

(a) 

(b) 

(c) 

(d) 

enable the Group to recruit, incentivise and retain Key Management Personnel and other eligible 
Employees needed to achieve the Group's business objectives; 

link  the  reward  of  key  staff  with  the  achievements  of  strategic  goals  and  the  long  term 
performance of the Group; 

align the financial interest of participants of the Plan with those of Shareholders; and 

provide  incentives  to  participants  of  the  Plan  to  focus  on  superior  performance  that  creates 
Shareholder value. 

The key features of the Plan are as follows:  

(a) 

The Board will determine the number of Performance Rights and Plan Options (Plan Securities) 
to be granted to Eligible Employees (or their Affiliates) and the vesting conditions, expiry date of 
the Plan Securities and the exercise price of the Plan Options in its sole discretion. 

(b) 

The Plan Securities are not transferable unless the Board determines otherwise or the transfer 
is required by law and provided that the transfer complies with the Corporations Act. 

(c)  Subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules and restrictions on reducing the rights of 
a holder of Plan Securities, the Board will have the power to amend the Plan as it sees fit.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 
TO THE MEMBERS OF  
RENT.COM.AU LIMITED 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Rent.com.au Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), 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, 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  2017  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 

Recognition of Revenue 
Refer to Note 1 and 3 in the financial statements 
The  Group  earns  revenue  through  its  role  as  an 
operator of a real estate website focusing on the rental 
property market. The major revenue streams are: 

-  Agent fees; 
-  Private listing fees; 
-  Product and service fees; and 
-  Advertising and referral fees. 

Revenue was considered a key audit matter because 
it  is  the  most  significant  account  balance  in  the 
consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other 
comprehensive  income  and  the  process  of  revenue 
recognition  is  complex  due  to  multiple  revenue 
streams  for  services  rendered.  Furthermore,  the 
revenue  transactions  are  high  volume  and  of  low 
value.  The  revenue  recognition  of  each  revenue 
stream is subject to management judgements. These 
include: 
  Determination of the Group’s accounting policy in 

relation to each revenue stream; and 

  Determining the amount of revenue that can be 
measured reliably and whether it is probable that 
the 
the  economic  benefits  associated  with 
transaction will flow to the Group. 

Other Information  

 

the  Group’s 

Our audit procedures in relation to revenue recognition 
included: 
  Obtained a detailed understanding of each of the 
revenue streams and the process for calculating 
and recording revenue; 
revenue 
Assessing  whether 
recognition  policies  were  in  compliance  with 
Australian Accounting Standards; 
Performing substantive testing on each revenue 
stream  on  a  sample  basis.  The  substantive 
testing 
to 
approved  pricing  used  by  the  Group,  agreeing 
the  receipt  of  cash  to  bank  statements  and 
agreeing  the  delivery  of  services  to  source 
documentation;  

included  agreeing 

transactions 

 

  Reviewing  the  deferred  revenue  calculation  for 
agent  listing  fees  received  in  advance  by  the 
Group; and 

  Review  of  sales  transactions  before  and  after 
year-end to ensure that revenue is recognised in 
the correct period. 

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 2017, 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:  http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar2.pdf.  This 
description forms part of our auditor's report.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

This financial report of Rent.com.au Limited (‘the Company’) and its controlled entities (‘the Group’) 
for  the  year  ended  30  June  2017  was  authorised  for  issue  in  accordance  with  a  resolution  of  the 
Directors on 22 August 2017.   

Rent.com.au  Limited  is  a  company  limited  by  shares  incorporated  in  Australia  whose  shares  are 
publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.  

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

New, 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  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  ('AASB')  that  are  mandatory  for  the  current 
reporting period. 

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

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

Historical cost convention 
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where 
applicable, the revaluation of available-for-sale  financial assets, financial assets and  liabilities at  fair 
value through profit or loss, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment 
and derivative financial instruments. 

Critical accounting estimates 
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It 
also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting 
policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions 
and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2. 

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

The presentation currency is Australian dollars.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d) 

Principles of consolidation 
The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  all  subsidiaries  of 
Rent.com.au Limited as at 30 June 2017 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. 

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. 

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

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

Foreign currency translation 
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Rent.com.au 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d) 

Revenue Recognition 
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the Group and the 
revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received 
or receivable. 

Subscription services 
Subscription revenues are recognised on a straight-line basis over the contract period. 

Listing fees 
Listing fees are recognised when the Group has an enforceable claim against the customer arising 
from a property listing advertisement. Listing fees arise either from the completion of the online rental 
application  process  (renter  placement/SmartPlan),  or  from  the  customer  purchasing  one  of  the 
Group’s paid for advertising products. 

Products and services revenue 
Products and services revenue is recognised at the point of sale. Amounts disclosed are net of returns 
and discounts. 

Advertising revenue 
Revenues from site display advertising are recognised when the advertisements are displayed. Where 
the Group has utilised the services of an external sales agency to sell advertising services on behalf 
of  the  Group,  the  revenues  and  the  sales  commissions  paid  to  the  sales  agency  are  recorded 
separately.  Revenues  from  referrals  and  database  advertising  are  recognised  when  the  obligations 
under the relevant contract are fulfilled. 

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. 

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

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

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

Income Tax (cont’d) 
•  When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or 
joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary 
difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 

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

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

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

Rent.com.au Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax Group 
under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax Group continue 
to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax Group has applied the 'separate 
taxpayer  within  group'  approach  in  determining  the  appropriate  amount  of  taxes  to  allocate  to 
members of the tax Group. 

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

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

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

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

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

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d) 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, 
other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are 
readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes 
in  value.  For  the  statement  of  cash  flows  presentation  purposes,  cash  and  cash  equivalents  also 
includes bank overdrafts, which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement 
of financial position. 

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  provision  for  impairment.  Trade  receivables  are 
generally due for settlement within 30 days. 

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be 
uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for impairment of 
trade receivables is raised when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect 
all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of 
the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation and default or 
delinquency  in  payments  (more  than  90  days  overdue)  are  considered  indicators  that  the  trade 
receivable may be impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the 
asset's  carrying  amount  and  the  present  value  of  estimated  future  cash  flows,  discounted  at  the 
original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the 
effect of discounting is immaterial. 

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment. 

Associates 
Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control. 
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the 
share  of  the  profits  or  losses  of  the  associate  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  and  the  share  of  the 
movements in equity is recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in associates are 
carried  in  the  statement  of  financial  position  at  cost  plus  post-acquisition  changes  in  the  Group's 
share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill  relating to  the associate is included in the carrying 
amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. Dividends 
received or receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment. 

When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or  exceeds its  interest in the associate, 
including any unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless 
it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. 

The Group discontinues the use of the equity method upon the loss of significant influence over the 
associate  and  recognises  any  retained  investment  at  its  fair  value.  Any  difference  between  the 
associate's  carrying  amount,  fair  value  of  the  retained  investment  and  proceeds  from  disposal  is 
recognised in profit or loss. 

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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d) 

Plant and equipment (cont’d) 
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of plant and 
equipment over their expected useful lives as follows: 

Computer equipment 
Furniture and fittings 

 2-4 years 
 4 years 

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

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

An item of 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. 

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

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

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

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

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

Intangible assets 
IT development and software 
Costs  incurred  in  developing  products  or  systems  and  costs  incurred  in  acquiring  software  and 
licenses that will contribute to future period financial benefits through revenue generation and/or cost 
reduction are capitalised to software and systems. 

These intangible assets have finite lives and are subject to amortisation on a straight line basis. The 
useful lives for these assets are as follows: 

Software

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d) 

Intangible assets (cont’d) 
Research and development 
Research  expenditure  is  recognised  as  an  expense  as  incurred.  Costs  incurred  on  development 
projects (relating to the design and testing of new or improved services) are recognised as intangible 
assets when it is probable that the project will, after considering its commercial and technical feasibility, 
be  completed  and  generate  future  economic  benefits  and  its  costs  can  be  measured  reliably.  The 
expenditure capitalised comprises all directly attributable costs, including costs of materials, services, 
direct labour and an appropriate proportion of direct overheads. Other development expenditures that 
do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously 
recognised  as  an  expense  are  not  recognised  as  an  asset  in  a  subsequent  period.  Capitalised 
development  costs  are  recorded  as  an  intangible  asset  and  amortised  from  the  point  at  which  the 
asset is ready for use on a straight line basis over its useful life of 4 years. 

Impairment of non-financial assets 
Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation 
and  are  tested  annually  for  impairment,  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in  circumstances 
indicate that they might be impaired. Other non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever 
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An 
impairment  loss  is  recognised  for  the  amount  by  which  the  asset's  carrying  amount  exceeds  its 
recoverable amount. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

Other long-term employee benefits 
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the 
reporting date are measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect 
of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method.  

Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures 
and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting 
date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the 
estimated future cash outflows. 

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

Share-based payments 
Equity-settled  and  cash-settled  share-based  compensation  benefits  are  provided  to  employees. 
Equity-settled  transactions  are  awards  of  shares,  or  options  over  shares,  that  are  provided  to 
employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash 
for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price. 

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

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

The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by 
applying either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms 
and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement 
of the liability is calculated as follows: 
• 

during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that 
date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period. 
from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of 
the liability at the reporting date.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d) 

Employee benefits (cont’d) 
Share-based payments – continued  
All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions 
is the cash paid to settle the liability. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Issued capital 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d) 

Issued capital (cont’d) 
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. 

Dividends 
Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of 
the Group. 

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

The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, 
equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and 
the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree.  

For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair 
value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are 
expensed as incurred to profit or loss. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Goods and Services Tax (GST) 
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount 
of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Tax 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. The net amount of GST 
recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in 
the statement of financial position.  

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing 
or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as 
operating cash flows. 

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

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted  
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but 
are  not  yet  mandatory,  have  not  been  early  adopted  by  the  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 yet to be assessed by the Group.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted (cont’d) 
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  judgments 
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 yet to be assessed by 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. 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 there is no material impact to the Group.

2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions  

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

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

Ordinary shares 
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of 
the Group in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary 
shares have no par value and the Group does not have a limited amount of authorised capital. 

On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote 
and upon a poll each share shall have one vote. 

Share buy-back 
There is no current on-market share buy-back.  

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

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

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

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

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

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2016 Annual Report.

25.  Share Based Payments (cont’d) 

The LTIP provides for the issuance of: 

(a) 

(b) 

Performance  Rights  which,  upon  a  determination  by  the  Board  that  the  performance 
conditions attached to the Performance Rights have been met, will result in the issue of 
one ordinary Share in the Company for each Performance Right; and 

Plan  Options  which,  upon  a  determination  by  the  Board  that  the  vesting  conditions 
attached to the Plan Options have been met, will result in the Plan Options vesting and 
being able to be exercised into Shares by payment of the exercise price. 

To achieve its corporate objectives, the Group needs to attract and retain its key staff.   The Board 
believes that grants made to eligible participants under the Plan will provide a powerful tool to underpin 
the Group’s employment and engagement strategy, and that the implementation of the Plan will: 

(a) 

(b) 

(c) 

(d) 

enable the Group to recruit, incentive and retain Key Management Personnel and other 
eligible Employees needed to achieve the Group’s business objectives; 

link  the  reward  of  key  staff  with  the  achievements  of  strategic  goals  and  the  long  term 
performance of the Group; 

align the financial interest of participants of the Plan with those of shareholders; and 

provide incentives to participants of the Plan to focus on superior performance that creates 
shareholder value. 

The key features of the Plan are as follows:  

(a) 

(b) 

(c) 

The  Board  will  determine  the  number  of  Performance  Rights  and  Plan  Options  (Plan 
Securities)  to  be  granted  to  Eligible  Employees  (or  their  Affiliates)  and  the  vesting 
conditions, expiry date of the Plan Securities and the exercise price of the Plan Options in 
its sole discretion. 

The  Plan  Securities  are  not  transferable  unless  the  Board  determines  otherwise  or  the 
transfer is required by law and provided that the transfer complies with the Corporations 
Act. 

Subject  to  the  Corporations  Act  and  the  Listing  Rules  and  restrictions  on  reducing  the 
rights of a holder of Plan Securities, the Board will have the power to amend the Plan as it 
sees fit.

The  Board  of  Directors  is  responsible  for  monitoring  and  managing  financial  risk  exposures  of  the 
Group.  The  Board  monitors  the  Group’s  financial  risk  management  policies  and  approves  financial 
transactions. It also reviews the effectiveness of internal controls relating to counterparty credit risk, 
financing risk and interest rate risk.   

The Board’s overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Group in meeting its financial targets, 
while minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. Its functions include the review of 
the credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements. 

Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management 

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

28.   Financial Risk Management (cont’d) 

a)  Credit risk 

Exposure  to  credit  risk  relating  to  financial  assets  arises  from  the  potential  non-performance  by 
counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group. 

Credit  risk  is  managed  through  the  maintenance  of  procedures  (such  procedures  include  the 
utilisation  of  systems  for  the  approval,  granting  and  renewal  of  credit  limits,  regular  monitoring  of 
exposures  against  such  limits  and  monitoring  of  the  financial  stability  of  significant  customers  and 
counterparties), ensuring to the extent possible, that customers and counterparties to transactions are 
of sound credit worthiness. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for impairment. Credit 
terms are generally 30 days from the invoice date. 

Risk  is  also  minimised  through  investing  surplus  funds  in  financial  institutions  that  maintain  a  high 
credit rating. 

Credit Risk Exposures 

The  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk  by  class  of  recognised  financial  assets  at  reporting  date  is 
equivalent to the carrying value and classification of those financial assets (net of any provisions) as 
presented in the statement of financial position.   

The  Group  has  no  significant  concentration  of  credit  risk  with  any  single  counterparty  or  group  of 
counterparties, except the Australian Taxation Office.   

Trade and other receivables that are neither past due or impaired are considered to be of high credit 
quality.   

Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the board in 
accordance with approved board policy.  The following table provides information regarding the credit 
risk relating to cash and money  market securities based on Standard  & Poor’s counterparty credit 
ratings.

Financial Risk Management (cont’d) 

b) 

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or 
otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities.  The Group manages this risk through 
the following mechanisms: 

 

preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing 
activities; 
obtaining funding from a variety of sources; 

 
  maintaining a reputable credit profile; 
  managing credit risk related to financial assets; 
 
 

only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and 
comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets. 

The tables below reflect an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities.   

Cash  flows  realised  from  financial  assets  reflect  management’s  expectation  as  to  the  timing  of 
realisation. Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented 
in the table to settle financial liabilities reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates and does not 
reflect management’s expectations that banking facilities will be rolled forward.

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

to interest rate risk at reporting date.  

Price risk 
The Group’s currently has no exposure to equity securities price risk arising from investments 
held by the Group and classified in the statement of financial position as fair value through profit 
or loss. 

Foreign Currency Risk

liabilities  denominated  in  a  currency  that  is  not  the  entity’s  functional  currency  and  net 
investments in foreign operations.   

The Group does not have any foreign currency exposure.
