Review of Operations 

The  Consolidated  Statement  of  Profit  or  Loss  and  Other  Comprehensive  Income  shows  a  net 
operating loss after tax of $1,294,013 for the year ended 30 June 2021 (for year ended 30 June 
2020: $1,665,215). The net operating loss for the year ended 30 June 2021 included non-cash 
share-based  payments  of  $279,649  (30  June  2020  share-based  payment  reversal:  $4,372) 
associated with the issue of performance based convertible securities to employees and options 
issued  to  directors  as  outlined  in  Note  17.    Earnings  Before  Interest,  Tax,  Depreciation,  and 
Amortisation (and excluding non-cash share-based payments) (“EBITDA”) for the year ended 30 
June 2021 was a loss of $689,055 (30 June 2020: $1,133,541) an improvement of 39%. 

The  Group  achieved  overall  revenue  of  $3,094,402  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2021  which 
represents  growth  of  26%  compared  with  the  previous  year  ($2,452,239).    Both  of  its  key 
revenue streams grew strongly. Renter Products grew 40% to $1,552,237 and Advertising Sales 
grew by 28% to $1,263,450.

Director’s Report 
30 June 2021 

Review of Operations (continued) 

During the year the Group’s original rent.com.au business (defined as Group results less RentPay 
impact) achieved its goal of EBITDA profitability off the back of strong revenue growth, earning 
an EBITDA profit of $117,468. The new RentPay business incurred an EBITDA loss of $806,524 
as  resources  were  allocated  to  building  a  new  rental  payments  system  which  is  the  primary 
product via which the Group seeks to gain market share within the tenancy period.  

Operationally, the Groups renter app on the Apple and Android platforms continues to achieve 
higher customer ratings than other leading real estate sector apps. While all three existing Renter 
Products grew, especially the RentConnect utility connection service offered under an exclusive 
arrangement with AGL. The Group’s research indicates that this now accounts for greater than 
10% of AGL’s net new utility service connections nationally. Advertising Sales also grew strongly 
off the back of the Group’s efforts to drive greater repeat business. During the year ended 30 
June 2021, greater than 50% of advertising campaigns ran continuously for 6 months or longer. 

The Group also completed the first iteration (beta release) of the development of RentPay, its 
first product aimed at renters during their tenancy. $1,230,862 of labour costs and $440,697 of 
external costs were incurred in this development during the year. 

Significant changes in the state of affairs 

On 15 September 2020, the Group announced that it had completed the placement under ASX 
Listing  Rule  7.1  of  33,333,333  new  fully  paid  ordinary  shares  at  an  issue  price  of  $0.045  per 
share with existing shareholders to raise $1.5 million (before costs).  

On 5 February 2021, the Group issued 55 million new fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price 
of $0.05 per share to sophisticated, professional and other exempt investors pursuant to section 
708 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) to raise $2,750,000 (before costs).  The funds will be 
applied  towards  the  upcoming  RentPay  launch  and  to  provide  additional  working  capital  for 
marketing and product development.  

Dividends 

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

Matters Subsequent to the end of the Financial Year 

On  30  July  2021,  the  Group  issued  538,461  ordinary  shares  on  conversion  of  538,461 
performance rights.  

Apart from the performance rights conversion above, no other matter or circumstance has been 
arisen  since  30  June  2021  that  has  significantly  affected,  or  maybe  significantly  affect  the 
Group’s  operations,  the  results  of  those  operations,  or  the  Group’s  state  of  affairs  in  future 
financial years.  

Likely Developments and Expected Results 

The  Group  is  currently  optimising  the  RentPay  rental  payments  platform  prior  to  full  market 
launch.  RentPay  is  the  platform  via  which  the  Group  seeks  to  gain  market  share  within  the 
tenancy period. The Group’s addressable market in Australia is estimated at more than 2.5 million 
rental  households  which,  in  the  director’s  opinion,  provides  ample  scope  for  further 
commercialisation of the group’s products and for the Group to achieve profitability.  

Environmental regulation 

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

During the financial period, the Group entered into a policy to indemnify directors and officers 
against  certain  liabilities  incurred  as  a  director  or  officer,  including  costs  and  expenses 
associated  in  successfully  defending  legal  proceedings.    The  contract  of  insurance  prohibits 
disclosure  of  the  nature  of  the  liability  and  the  amount  of  the  premium.    The  Group  has  not 
otherwise, during or since the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or an

or auditor. 

Proceedings on behalf of the Group 

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

Auditor 

RSM Australia Partners continues in office in accordance with section 327 of the Corporations 
Act 2001. 

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 20 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 20 to the financial statements 
do not compromise the external auditor’s independence requirements of the Corporations Act 
2001 for the following reasons:  

•  all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact 

the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and  

•  none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor  independence as 
set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting 
Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor's own 
work,  acting  in  a  management  or  decision-making  capacity  for  the  company,  acting  as 
advocate for the Group or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards. 

Auditor's independence declaration 

A  copy  of  the  auditor's  independence  declaration  as  required  under  section  307C  of  the 
Corporations Act 2001 is set out immediately after this directors' report.  

Audited Remuneration Report 

The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for 
the Group, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. 
Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, 
directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors. 

The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings: 
A.  Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 
B.  Details of remuneration 
C.  Share-based compensation 
D.  Additional information 

A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 

The objective of the Group's executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance 
is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered.  The Board has  elected  to establish a 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee in accordance with its Corporate Governance Policy. 

The  Nomination  and  Remuneration  Committee  is  responsible  for  determining  and  reviewing 
remuneration arrangements for its directors and executives and for developing and facilitating a 
process for Board and Director evaluation.

Rent.com.au Limited 
Director’s Report 
30 June 2021 

A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (continued) 

The key management personnel of the Group consisted of the following directors: 

•  Dr. Garry Garside (Non-Executive Chairman) 
•  Mr. John Wood (Non-Executive Director) 
•  Mr. Sam McDonagh (Non-Executive Director) 
•  Mr. Philip Warren (Non-Executive Director) 

And the following executives: 

•  Mr Greg Bader (Chief Executive Officer) 
•  Mr. Jan Ferreira (Chief Financial Officer / Chief Operating Officer) 

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

Non-Executive Director Remuneration 

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 Nomination and Remuneration Committee. 

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.   

Executive Remuneration 

The executive remuneration framework has the following components: 

•  base pay and benefits, including superannuation.  
• 
• 

short-term performance incentives; and 
long-term incentives provided as share-based payments. 

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

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

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

The short-term incentives ('STI') program is designed to align the targets of the Group with the 
performance hurdles of executives. STI payments are granted to executives based on specific 
annual targets and key performance indicators ('KPI's') being achieved.  

Long term incentives have been provided to directors through the issue of director options as 
approved by shareholders at the November 2020 Annual General Meeting. Long term incentives 
have  been  provided  to  employees  through  the  issue  of  performance  rights  pursuant  to  the 
Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan (‘LTIP’) approved by  shareholders at the  November  2019 
Annual General Meeting. 

Voting and comments made at the Group's 2020 Annual General Meeting ('AGM') 

At  the  2020  AGM,  99.5%  of  the  eligible  votes  received  supported  the  adoption  of  the 
remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2020. The Group did not receive any specific 
feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

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 2021, 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  2021  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 

Our audit procedures included: 
• 

Obtaining a detailed understanding of each of the 
revenue streams and the process for calculating 
and recording revenue; 
Assessing  whether 
the  revenue  recognition 
policies  comply  with  Australian  Accounting 
Standards; 
Performing substantive testing on each revenue 
stream on a sample basis;  
Reviewing  the  deferred  revenue  calculation  for 
revenue received in advance;  
Reviewing revenue transactions before and after 
year-end to ensure that revenue is recognised in 
the correct financial period; and 
Reviewing  the  appropriateness  of  disclosure  in 
the financial statements. 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Revenue Recognition 
Refer to Note 1 and 3 in the financial statements 
The Group generates revenue through its role as an 
operator of a real estate website focusing on the rental 
property market. The major revenue streams are: 
•  Fees from agents and landlords; 
•  Rental products revenue; and 
•  Advertising sales. 

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 
rendered. 
for  services  or  products 
Furthermore, 
transactions  are  high 
volume and of low value. The revenue recognition of 
each  revenue  stream  is  subject  to  management 
judgements. These include: 
•  Determining the appropriate accounting policy in 

the  revenue 

relation to each revenue stream; and 

•  Determining  the  revenue  recognised  is  for  an 
amount  that  reflects  the  consideration  to  which 
the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange 
for transferring goods or services to a customer. 

Other Information  

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included 
in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021, but does not include the financial report and the 
auditor's report thereon.  

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

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

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

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

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

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

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Our  objectives  are  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  report  as  a  whole  is  free  from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. 
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance 
with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements 
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably 
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.  

A  further  description  of  our  responsibilities  for  the  audit  of  the  financial  report  is  located  at  the  Auditing  and 
Assurance  Standards  Board  website  at:  https://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar2.pdf.  This 
description forms part of our auditor's report.  

Report on the Remuneration Report 

Opinion on the Remuneration Report

section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.  

Responsibilities

Notes to the Financial Statements 
30 June 2021 

This  financial  report  of  Rent.com.au  Limited  (‘the  Company’)  and  its  controlled  entities  (‘the 
Group’) for the year ended 30 June 2021 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution 
of the Directors on 27 August 2021.   

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

Note 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. 

Going concern 

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

As disclosed in the  financial statements, the Group incurred a loss of $1,294,013 and had net 
cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $51,093 and $1,667,837 respectively for 
the year ended 30 June 2021. As at that date the Group had net current assets of $2,430,732 
including cash and cash equivalents of $2,918,306. 

The Directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that the Group will continue as a going 
concern  and  that  it  is  appropriate  to  adopt  the  going  concern  basis  in  the  preparation  of  the 
financial report after consideration of the following factors:   
•  The ability to issue additional shares under the Corporations Act 2001 to raise further working 

capital; and 

•  The Group has the ability to scale down its operations in order to curtail expenditure, in the 

event cash available is insufficient to meet projected expenditure. 

New or amended 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. 

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

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework) 

The Group has adopted the revised Conceptual Framework from 1 July 2020. The Conceptual 
Framework  contains  new  definition  and  recognition  criteria  as  well  as  new  guidance  on 
measurement that affects several Accounting Standards, but it has not had a material impact on 
the Group’s financial statements. 

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').

Notes to the Financial Statements 
30 June 2021 

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Basis of Preparation (continued) 

Historical cost convention 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost  convention, except for, 
where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or 
loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment properties, 
certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivatives 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. 

Principles of consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of 
Rent.com.au  Limited  as  at  30  June  2021  and  the  results  of  all  subsidiaries  for  the  year  then 
ended.  Rent.com.au  Limited  and  its  subsidiaries  together  are  referred  to  in  these  financial 
statements as the “Group”. 

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

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

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

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

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements 
30 June 2021 

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

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 Board (the Chief Operating 
Decision  Makers  ('CODM')  of  the  business).  The  Board  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. 

Revenue Recognition 

The Group recognises revenue as follows:  

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

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

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

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

Interest 
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method.   

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

Notes to the Financial Statements 
30 June 2021 

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Government Grants 

Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the 
period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. 

Income Tax 

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

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  recognised  for  temporary  differences  at  the  tax  rates 
expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those 
tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for: 

•  When  the  deferred  income  tax  asset  or  liability  arises  from  the  initial  recognition  of 
goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and 
that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or 
•  When  the  taxable  temporary  difference  is  associated  with  interests  in  subsidiaries, 
associates  or  joint  ventures,  and  the  timing  of  the  reversal  can  be  controlled  and  it  is 
probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 

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

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

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

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements 
30 June 2021 

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Current and non-current classification 

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

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

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

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

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

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

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

Plant and equipment 

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 

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. 

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.

Rent.com.au Limited 
Notes to the Financial Statements 
30 June 2021 

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Right-of-use assets 

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

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

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

Intangible assets 

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 

4 years 

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. 

Lease liabilities 

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

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

Finance costs 

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

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 at 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

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Employee benefits (continued) 

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

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

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. 

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.

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Employee benefits (continued) 

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.  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 Combinations 

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

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

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

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Business Combinations (continued) 

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.

Investments and other financial assets 

Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are 
included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit 
or loss. They are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their 
classification.  Classification  is  determined  based  on  the  purpose  of  the  acquisition  and 
subsequent reclassification to other categories is restricted. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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  2021.  The  Group's  has  not  yet  assessed  the  impact  of  these  new  or 
amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

Note 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 
various other factors, including expectations of future events which 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. 

Revenue from contracts with customers involving sale of products 
When recognising revenue in relation to the sale of products to customers, the key performance 
obligation of the Group is considered to be the point of delivery of the products to the customer, 
as this is deemed to be the time that the customer obtains control of the promised products and 
therefore the benefits of the unimpeded access. 

Allowance for expected credit losses 
The  allowance  for  expected  credit  losses  assessment  requires  a  degree  of  estimation  and 
judgement. It is based on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and 
makes  assumptions  to  allocate  an  overall  expected  credit  loss  rate  for  each  group.  These 
assumptions  include  recent  sales  experience,  historical  collection  rates,  the  impact  of 
Coronavirus  (COVID-19)  pandemic  and  forward-looking  information  that  is  available.    The 
allowance  for  expected  credit  losses,  as  disclosed  in  note  10,  is  calculated  based  on  the 
information available at the time of preparation.  The actual credit losses in future years may be 
higher or lower. 

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

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.

participate in the LTIP. 

The LTIP provides for the issue 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 

•  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. 

The key features of the Plan are as follows:  

•  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

Note 22. Dividends Paid or Proposed 

The directors do not recommend the payment of  a dividend and no amount has been paid or 
declared by way of a dividend to the date of this report. 

Note 23. Operating Segments 

Identification of reportable operating segments 
The Group operates as two operating segments with different revenue streams. The Board (the 
Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM') of the business) reviews performance of the Group 
both as a whole and as separate operating segments. 

The Board evaluates Group performance by reference to revenue which is measured consistently 
with these consolidated financial statements, as well as measuring performance by evaluating 
EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation). The accounting policies 
adopted  for  internal  reporting  to  the  Board  are  consistent  with  those  adopted  in  the  financial 
statements. 

The information is reported to the Board monthly.

Financial Risk Management Policies 

The Board of Directors are 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. 

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements 
30 June 2021 

Note 32. Financial Risk Management (continued) 

a) Credit Risk (continued) 

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 nor 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.

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.

c) Market Risk 

(i)  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 Group does not have material exposure 
to interest rate risk at reporting date.  

(ii)  Price risk 
The Group 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. 

(iii)  Foreign Currency Risk 
Foreign  exchange  risk  arises  from  future  commercial  transactions  and  recognised  assets  and 
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. 

(iv)  Fair value measurement 
Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value. 

Note 33. Contingent Liabilities 

There are no contingent liabilities for the year ended 30 June 2021 (30 June 2020: nil).
