Dear Fellow Shareholders, 

The past twelve months has seen our business 
its  strategy  of 
continue  to  execute  on 
developing  and  delivering  world 
class 
technology solutions for the mining industry.  

At the same time, we have not lost focus on the 
value  and  strength  of  our  Advisory  and 
GeoGAS  businesses  which  both  continue  to 
perform strongly.  

Revenue from our Advisory division grew again 
in  2019.  Whilst  pricing  remained  competitive 
in  the  low  to  medium  sized  projects,  clients 
continue to recognise the value we can add in 
complex  multi-asset 
transactional 
projects. 

and 

The GeoGAS division had another strong year 
with an increased contribution – a good result 
considering  the  number  of  coal  gas  tests  for 
exploration reduced 19% year on year. 

The  Software  division  had  a  strong  year  in 
terms  of  new  customer’s  acquiring  RPM 
software  products  for  the  first  time.    The 
breadth  and  depth  of  our  software  offering, 
innovative  nature  of  our 
along  with  the 
solutions, resulted in 15 new customers signing 
on to start to use our software for the first time 
during 2019.  

Financial Year 2019 was the first full year that 
the  Company  offered  a  subscription  licensing 
alternative to our customers. We  believe this 
strategy will deliver great benefits to both our 
customers and shareholders.  

investment 

Financial Year 2019 was again a year of above 
industry  average 
in  software 
development as the Company rounded out its 
scheduling  product  suite  and  completed  the 
development program for its financial product 
suite.  We  expect  to  see  our  new  software 
development  investment  decrease  to  a  level 
more consistent with industry norms over the 
next two years. 

Whilst  the  management  team 
looked  at 
several  potential  acquisition  opportunities 
during  the  year,  after  careful  consideration  it 
was  determined 
these 
opportunities  delivered  the  exposure  to  the 
market we are looking for and on that basis the 
potential acquisitions did not proceed beyond 
the initial diligence stage.

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 

I  would  again  like  to  acknowledge  the  effort 
and commitment of our staff who continue to 
perform  especially  well.  The  Board 
is 
particularly  pleased  with  the  ability  of  our 
management and staff to execute on a clearly 
defined strategy that we believe will result in 
increased value for our shareholders.  

The  Board  thanks  its  shareholders  for  their 
ongoing  support  of  the  Company’s  software 
strategy and remains firmly of the opinion that 
the  software 
investments  made  by  the 
Company  will  provide  the  growth  engine  for 
the business in 2020 and beyond.

Market Commentary 

High Level Summary of Financial Results 

Pleasingly for the industry, with the exception 
of 
Iron  Ore,  commodity  prices  remained 
relatively stable during the 2019 Financial Year.  

Total  revenue  for  the  year  increased  by  $6.4 
million  (8.7%)  to  $80.1  million  (2018:  $73.7 
million). 

The  Iron  Ore  price  spiked  markedly  following 
the Vale Brumadinho tailings dam disaster and 
has remained at inflated levels since. 

With  commodity  prices  remaining  strong, 
mining  companies  are  making  healthy  profits 
and  as  a  result  have,  generally  speaking, 
continued 
to 
shareholders  through 
impressive  dividend 
payouts rather than undertaking mergers and 
acquisitions  or  investing  heavily  in  Greenfield 
projects or Brownfield expansions. 

return  excess 

cash 

to 

Just  recently,  the  major  mining  companies 
have  unsurprisingly  started  to  talk  about  the 
lost decade of exploration which has occurred 
because 
juniors  who  have 
traditionally invested  in  exploration  have had 
little access to capital. 

the  mining 

The cost of mining rose again during the year 
as labour shortages combined with increasing 
service  provider  costs  flowed  through  to 
operational costs. For yet another year capital 
expenditure 
constrained  with 
miners continuing to “sweat their assets”.  

remained 

Whilst we expect mining companies to remain 
focused on keeping their operational costs as 
low as possible, at some stage we expect they 
will have to increase their capital expenditure 
in  order  to  maintain  and  replace  production 
capacity. 

My comments in last year’s Annual Report that 
“mining  companies  remain  slow  to  embrace 
technology” continues to ring true. There has 
been  little  change  in  their  “fast  followers” 
approach  which  means  that  in  many  cases, 
miners  want  to  effectively  test  drive  new 
innovative  products  before  committing  to 
them which results in a higher cost of sale for 
the technology vendors.  

Financial Year 2019 was the first full year the 
Company  offered  a  subscription 
licensing 
alternative to our customers. During the year 
we  sold  $10.3  million  in  total  subscription 
revenue up $8.6 million from the previous year 
(2018:  $1.7  million).  Revenue  from  these 
subscription licenses will be spread across the 
committed 
for  each 
contract  duration 
transaction which in most cases is three years. 

in  subscription 
increase 
This  significant 
licensing  has,  as  expected,  impacted  on  our 
perpetual 
license  sales  which  decreased 
slightly to $12.1 million down $1.5 million from 
last year’s number of $13.6 million. 

software 

On  a  consolidated  basis  the  total  value  of 
contracted 
and 
perpetual  licenses  sold  in  2019  was  $22.4 
million up $7.1 million (46%) over the previous 
year (2018: $15.3 million). 

subscriptions 

Given  $9.4  million  of  $10.3  million  in  total 
subscription revenue sold during the year will 
be  spread  across  future  years,  we  were 
pleased  to  report  a  full  year  EBITDA  of  $5.9 
million up $1.5 million on the previous year’s 
result (2018: $4.4 million). 

in 

inherently  results 

Given  the  move  to  the  subscription  license 
model,  which 
lower 
revenue  and  earnings  over  the  initial  years 
whilst the Company grows its total committed 
annual recurring revenue, the Board has taken 
a  conservative  approach  to  projections  on 
future taxable income to calculate deferred tax 
assets relating to the Group’s tax losses in prior 
years. 

The  write  down  of  the  deferred  tax  asset  in 
2019 by $6.4 million has resulted in a Loss after 
Tax  of  $5.9  million  (2018:  Profit  after  Tax  of 
$0.2 million).

Software Division 

Total  software  revenue  increased  9.2%  to 
$48.8 million (2018: $44.7 million). 

The  Company  sold  $22.4  million  of  software 
licences  in  2019  of  which  $12.1  million  were 
perpetual licences (and are recognised as one-
off  revenue  during  the  financial  year)  and 
$10.3  million  in  subscription  licences  (which 
will  be 
the 
committed  term  of  each  contract  across 
multiple financial reporting periods). 

recognised  monthly  over 

Of  the  $10.3  million  in  subscription  licenses 
sold, $0.9 million,  was  recognised  as  revenue 
in  the  2019  financial  statements.  The  total 
revenue from subscription licences reported in 
2019 was $2.4 million a 200% increase on the 
previous year (2018: $0.8 million).  

The Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) run rate 
for  subscription  software  licences  (as  at  the 
date of this report) is $7.1 million per annum. 

The Company has already sold $6.1 million in 
total contracted subscription revenue in 2020 
financial year. 

Annual  recurring  revenue 
from  software 
maintenance finished the year at $21.8 million 
(2018:  $19.6  million)  an  11%  year  on  year 
increase. 

The 46% growth in perpetual and subscription 
software  licence  sales  has  driven  demand  for 
software consulting services which finished the 
year  at  $12.5  million  a  $1.8  million  (17%) 
increase over 2018 ($10.7 million). 

The  Company  started  the  2019  financial  year 
with  an  annual  Research  and  Development 
expenses run rate of $14.4 million and finished 
the  year  with  an  annual  run  rate  of  $13.1 
million. The last quarters of the financial year 
saw the completion of two six-year accelerated 
development 
next 
programmes. 

evolution 

software 

The resultant launch following the completion 
of the development programmes of the mining 
industry’s leading financial modelling software 
— XERAS Enterprise 3.0 (XE3) and the second 
instalment  of  XPAC  Solutions  Underground 
Coal Solution marks two major milestones. 

These  important  product  releases  not  only 
build upon the Company’s strong foundations 
as  the  pre-eminent  supplier  of  technical 
software to the mining industry but also enable 
RPM to kick off the 2020 financial year having 
cleared a considerable backlog of complicated 
new software development.  

The highly anticipated release of XE3 marks the 
completion  of  a  work  program  that  included 
rebuilding  the  entire  underlying  architecture 
within the product. As a result, RPM has taken 
XERAS from a respected desktop product to a 
that  provides 
true  enterprise  offering 
complete  standardisation  and 
integration 
across mining operations and departments. 

RPM’s advanced mine planning and scheduling 
software is used extensively around the world. 
The  objective  of 
the  XPAC  Solutions 
programme,  when  we 
development 
commenced the undertaking back in 2013, was 
to  deliver  to  the  market  mine  planning 
products that were built to be used for specific 
types  of  commodities  and  mining  methods. 
The  intention  was  to  remove  the  need  for 
bespoke  development  at  each  mining 
operation  and 
introduce  a  best  practice 
process driven application. 

Since  the  programme  commenced  RPM  has 
released  a  total  of  ten  commodity-based 
solutions 
(Open  Pit  Metals,  Stratigraphic 
Metals, Underground Metals, Oil Sands, Open 
Pit  Diamonds,  Open  Cut  Coal,  Steep  Coal, 
Quarry, Open Cut Phosphate and Underground 
Coal). This financial year saw a 77% increase in 
sales  of  these  scheduling  products  over  the 
previous year. 

During  the  year  we  announced  that  the 
Company  would  release  a  new  Intelligent

year. 

Advisory Division 

This  product  will  apply  the  very 
latest 
parametric  design  capabilities  and  use  the 
most  advanced  software  technology  and 
enterprise  architecture.  It  will  compete  with 
the currently available products in the market

and the same underlying code base which has 
been  adapted, 
tailored  and 
reformed, 
customised over the years.  

and 

across 

applications 

We had previously elected not to develop our 
own mine design software and instead focused 
on  ‘open  integration’  with  other  third-party 
design  applications.    This  approach  was  built 
on  the  assumption  that  third  party  vendors 
would embrace and allow the free flow of data 
between 
the 
enterprise.  The catalyst for building our own 
design  solution  has  been  driven  by  the 
realisation that other suppliers to the industry 
have  inherent  limitations  around  enterprise 
interoperability. 
the 
engineering  process  ‘starts  with  design’  a

suite  of  planning 
products  needs  to  include  Intelligent  Design

areas of Mine Scheduling, Simulation, Finance,

Furthermore,  as 

in  order 

The  breadth  and  depth  of  our  innovative 
software offering has seen 15 new customers 
sign up during 2019. While all these customers 
have purchased software modules to address a 
specific need, our hope is that over time they 
will purchase and roll out more of our suite of 
integrated products. 

The  move  to  subscription 
licensing  has 
necessitated  RPM  establishing  a  dedicated 
Cloud  delivery  team  who  are  responsible  for 
installing and monitoring our customers’ Cloud 
implementations.  Over  time  we  expect  this 
team to be cost neutral. 

Demand  for  our  mining  advisory  services 
increased  8.4%  during  2019  to  $25.9  million 
(2018: $23.9 million). This division continues to 
positively contribute to the financial results of 
the business.  

There  is  no  doubt  that  resisting  the  urge  to 
compete  for  lower  and  risker  projects  during

the  downturn  and

Our  advisory  division’s

The Advisory team continues to provide advice

North Asian clients for assets right across the

Richard Mathews 

Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer 

The  drop-off  in  testing  volumes  associated 
with coal exploration was offset by an increase 
in compliance testing. 

Company Expenses 

Operating expenses for the full year came in at 
$67.3  million,  $4.1  million  more  than  2018 
($63.2 million).  

This increase was mainly attributable to a 17% 
increase  in  software  consulting  headcount 
along  with  the  resumption  of  annual  salary 
increases due to the market demand for skilled 
employees.  The  Company  also  incurred  $1.0 
million  in  once  off  Merger  and  Acquisition 
($0.1  million), 
Litigation 
($0.1  million), 
Restructuring  ($0.4  million)  and  Recruitment 
($0.4 million) costs which were reported above 
the line. 

The Company was also required to increase its 
provision  for  doubtful  debts  by  $0.8  million 
due to its growth in revenue. 

Net cash inflows from operations for 2019 was 
$7.3 million (2018: $7.0 million) and at 30 June  
2019  the  Company  had  $28.2  million  cash  in 
the bank and no debt after paying $2.6 million 
in acquisition earnouts. 

Future Outlook 

We  expect  to  see  continued  growth  in  our 
Advisory and Software divisions.

We  anticipate  that  with  the  right  economic 
incentives  customers  will  continue  to  move 
from  perpetual 
to 
subscription licensing. It feels to me like we are 
one year through a two-to-three-year journey. 
Having  said  that  there  are  many  customers 
who will always  prefer  to purchase  perpetual 
licenses  for  many  reasons  (e.g.  size,  location, 
capital  structure  etc.)  and  hence  there  will 
always be a level of perpetual licenses sold.

1 Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, Amortisation and Litigation is a non-IFRS disclosure. In the opinion of the 
Directors, the Group’s EBITDA reflects the results generated from ongoing operating activities and is calculated in accordance 
with AICD/Finsia principles. The non-operating adjustments outlined above are considered to be non-cash and/or non-
recurring in nature. These items are included in the Group’s consolidated statutory result but excluded from the underlying 
result. EBITDA has not been audited or reviewed. 

Other  operating  costs  increased  by  $4.1m  of  which  $3.5m  related  to  employment  costs  including  additional 
software sales representatives ($0.7 million), software consulting headcount ($1.9 million), once-off restructuring 
costs ($0.4 million). The Company also increased its provision for doubtful debts ($0.8 million) and spent more on 
professional fees ($0.6 million) following commencement of litigation in China and South Africa to recover debts 
owed to the Company. 

As  a  result  of  this  investment  EBITDA  (Earnings  before  Interest,  Tax,  Depreciation,  Amortisation,  Litigation) 
increased by $1.5 million to $5.9 million (2018: $4.4 million). 

The Group produced $7.3 million in net operating cashflow and had cash reserves of $28.2 million (2017: $23.3 
million) and no bank debt at the end of the financial year. 

During  the  year  the  Group  paid  out  $2.6  million  for  software  acquisitions  and  earn-out  payments  for  prior 
acquisitions. 

Software Division 

The Software division provides mine scheduling, financial costing/budgeting, simulation and asset management 
software  solutions  to  the  mining  industry.  It  also  provides  software  consulting,  implementation,  training  and 
support for these products. 

Net  Software  revenue  increased  by  9.2%.  In  2019,  the  Company  offered  subscription  licence  alternative  to  its 
perpetual licence offering. During the year the Group sold $10.3 million in subscription licences (2018: $1.7 million). 
However, as the subscription revenue is recognised over the term of the subscription, the revenue recognised in 
2019 from these subscription licenses was $0.9 million resulting in a total subscription revenue for the financial 
year of $2.4 million (2018: $0.8 million).  

With the increase in subscription license sales, revenue from perpetual licence sales decreased to $12.1 million 
(2018: $13.6 million).

Review and Results of Operations (Continued) 

The Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) run rate for subscription software licences (as at the date of this report) is 
$7.1 million per annum and the Company has sold $6.1 million in total subscription revenue already in the 2020 
financial year. 

The  Group  decreased  its  investment  in  R&D  to  $13.7  million  following  completion  of  its  scheduling  solutions 
development programme of work.  

The  Company  welcomed  15  new  customers  who  purchased  RPM  software  for  the  first  time.  We  expect  these 
customers to expand their use of our software as they become more familiar with our suite of integrated products. 

Advisory Division 

The Advisory division provides independent consulting and advisory services which cover technical and economic 
analysis and assessment of mining activities and resources on behalf of mining companies, financial institutions, 
government  agencies  and  suppliers  to  mining  projects.    The  market  for  Advisory  services  is  heavily  reliant  on 
expansion, development, financing and transacting of mining assets and projects.  

Revenue from Advisory services for the year grew by 8.4% to $25.9 million (2018: $23.9 million).  

GeoGAS 

The GeoGAS business provides mine gas consulting and laboratory testing services primarily to the coal industry on 
the East Coast of Australia.  

Revenue from the GeoGAS business increased by 2.2% to $4.7 million (2018: $4.6 million). 

Operating Expenses 

Total Operating expenses increased by 6.8% ($4.1 million) to $67.3 million during the year (2018: $63.2 million).  

This increase was mainly attributable to an increase in employee benefits expenses as a result of an increase in 
software consulting and sales headcount and annual salary increases  for the  Company’s  advisory and technical 
consulting divisions. 

There was also $1.2 million in once-off costs incurred during the year. 

Provision of doubtful debts increased by $0.8 million as a result of an increase in revenue.

Likely Future Developments - Business Strategies and Prospects for Future Financial Years 

As a Board and management team we remain fully invested in growing our suite of software products.  

In  2019  we  completed  the  last  of  our  dedicated  scheduling  solutions.    This  brings  to  an  end  an  eight  year 
development  programme  during  which  we  will  have  developed  and  released  10  commodity  based  scheduling 
solutions each one addressing a different mining method. 

We also completed the final key functional requirement for XERAS Enterprise which also concludes a seven year 
development programme. 

It has now been  twenty months  since  we started to offer subscription style agreements to customers who are 
looking to purchase our software and we are really starting to see some traction in this area. We have already sold 
$6.1 million of total software subscription license in 2020 financial year and expect to see that number continue to 
grow.

Likely Future Developments - Business Strategies and Prospects for Future Financial Years (Continued) 

The near term outlook for our Advisory business remains positive. We remain confident that our internationally 
respected Advisory team is well placed to benefit from its increased market share and to continue to assist mining 
companies as they focus on productivity improvements and any associated acquisition and divestiture activity.  The 
division  continues  to  expand  its  service  offerings  to  leverage  the  value  provided  by  our  existing  and  recently 
acquired software products in order to assist its clients with operational advisory demand. We continue to see the 
value of advisory as a great introducer to RPM’s software offerings. 

With respect to our GeoGAS business, if coal prices remain firm, we are confident this division will have another 
solid year.

Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration 

Remuneration and compensation have the same meaning in this report. 

This report discusses the Group’s policies in regard to compensation of key management personnel (KMP).  The 
identified KMP have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group.   

In addition to the Directors, the Company assessed the Chief Financial Officer, Group General Counsel & Company 
Secretary and the Executive General Manager of the Advisory Division as having authority and responsibility for 
planning, directing and controlling all activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, during the 2019 financial year. 

The Board has established a HR and Remuneration Committee to assist with remuneration and incentive policies 
enabling the Group to attract and retain KMP and Directors who will create value for shareholders and support the 
Group’s  mission.    The  HR  and  Remuneration  Committee  obtains  independent  advice  if  required  on  the 
appropriateness of compensation packages given trends in comparative companies.  In the 2019 financial year the 
Committee did not use a remuneration consultant.  The Group’s Corporate Governance Statement provides further 
information on the role of this Committee. 

The compensation structures explained below are designed to attract suitably qualified candidates, reward the 
achievement  of  strategic,  operational  objectives  and  achieve  the  broader  outcome  of  creation  of  value  for 
shareholders. 

Executive Director and other Key Management Personnel 

The compensation structures take into account: 

•  The capability and experience of the KMP; 
•  Their ability to control the relevant segment’s performance; and 
•  The segment or Group earnings. 

Compensation  packages  include  a  mix  of  fixed,  short-term  and  long-term  performance-based  incentives.  In 
addition  to  their  salaries,  the  Group  also  provides  non-cash  benefits  to  its  KMP  and  contributes  to  a  defined 
contribution superannuation plan (or equivalent pension plan) on their behalf. 

Fixed Compensation 

Fixed compensation is calculated on a total cost basis and includes salary, allowances, non-cash benefits, employer 
contributions to superannuation funds and any fringe benefits tax charges related to employee benefits, including 
motor vehicles. 

Compensation  levels  are  reviewed  using  an  individual  approach,  based  on  evaluation  of  the  individual,  and  a 
comparison to the market. A KMP’s compensation is also reviewed on promotion.

Performance Linked Compensation 

Performance linked compensation includes both short-term and long-term incentives and is designed to reward 
KMP for meeting and exceeding their Key Performance Objectives (KPOs).  The Short-Term Incentive (STI) is an ‘at 
risk’ incentive provided in the form of cash, while the Long-Term Incentive (LTI) is provided as options over ordinary 
shares of the Company under the rules of the Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) (see note 23 to the financial 
statements).  The current long-term performance incentive structure was first implemented in the 2013 year and 
was most recently approved by shareholders at the 24 November 2016 Annual General Meeting. 

The table below sets out the performance-based compensation paid to KMP together with earnings for the same 
period. Performance based compensation consists of STI cash bonus and LTI share-based payments.

Short-term Incentive Bonus 

Effective 1 July 2012, the Group implemented a variable pay structure, referred to as the Executive Incentive Plan 
(EIP). Each of the identified KMP has a portion of their remuneration linked to the EIP. The key objective of the EIP 
is  to  create  clear  alignment  between  individual  and  business  performance  and  remuneration  by  providing  a 
performance-based reward to participants in line with their relative contribution to the Group. The EIP achieves 
the alignment by focusing participants on achieving goals which contribute to sustainable shareholder value and 
providing a clear link between performance and the Group financial result.  

In 2019 R Mathews, M Kochanowski and J O’Neill had 100% of their STI based on the Company’s adjusted EBITDA 
performance. P Baudry (Advisory) had 50% of his STI based on the Company’s adjusted EBITDA performance and 
50% based on the adjusted EBITDA contribution of the Advisory division.  Cash bonuses are paid, provided for or 
forfeited in the year to which they relate.  

The Board assessed performance of the KMP for the 2019 Financial Year as shown in the table below:

Remuneration Report - Audited (Continued) 

20A. 

Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration (Continued) 

Long-term Incentive 

Options were issued in the 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 financial years under the Company’s Employee 
Share Option Plan (ESOP) to KMP at the discretion of the Board. Consistent with the current ESOP plan terms last 
approved by shareholders at the Company’s 2016 Annual General Meeting, the rules of the ESOP Plan enable the 
Board  to  determine  the  applicable  vesting  criteria  and  to  set  a  timetable  for  vesting  of  options  in  the  Offer 
Document, including vesting in tranches over a defined period. The Board has the discretion on whether or not to 
set performance hurdles for vesting or to link vesting solely to a defined service period in order to drive key staff 
retention and reward longevity of service. The options issued since November 2013 vest in tranches over a three 
year period from the date of grant, have vesting conditions linked to the holder maintaining employment with the 
Group over that period and are issued at an exercise price based on the volume weighted average price of the 
Company’s shares in the five days prior to each grant.   

The Board has a Margin Loan policy that restricts Directors and Executives of the Group from entering into financial 
contracts secured by shares and other securities of the Company. This policy requires the approval of the Chairman 
of  the  Board  for  any  financial  arrangements  or  facilities  related  to  Company  shares  held  by  the  Directors  and 
Executives. 

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  periodically  by  the  Board  and  are 
determined  within  an  aggregate  Directors’  fee  pool  limit,  which  is  periodically  recommended  for  approval  by 
shareholders. The pool currently stands at $500,000, unchanged since it was approved in the 2009 Annual General 
Meeting. 

20B. 

Service Agreements 

Non-executive Directors’ base remuneration was last reviewed with effect from 1 July 2018. Both the Chairman’s

The  KMP are  also  entitled  to  receive  upon  termination  of  employment  their  statutory  entitlements  of  accrued

All options refer to options over ordinary shares of RPMGlobal Holdings Limited, which are exercised on a one-for-
one basis under the ESOP Plan. 

The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted to the individuals is allocated equally over the period from 
grant date to vesting date, based on an estimate of the number of options likely to vest, and the amount is included 
in the remuneration tables above.  Fair values at grant date are determined using Trinominal Lattice model that 
take  into  account  the  exercise  price,  the  term  of  the  option,  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.  Model inputs for options granted during the year are disclosed in note 23 in the financial report. 

Details of options over ordinary shares in the Company provided as remuneration to each Director and each of the 
KMP and the Group are set out below. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share of 
RPMGlobal Holdings Limited. Further information on the options is set out in note 23 to the financial statements. 

Options granted under the ESOP plan carry no dividend or voting rights until the options vest, are exercised and 
converted to ordinary shares whereupon those ordinary shares carry dividend and voting rights consistent with all 
other ordinary shares of the Company.  

The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted to the individuals is allocated equally over the period from 
grant date to vesting date, and the amount is included in the remuneration tables above.

NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

1. 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

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

RPMGlobal Holdings Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. 

The financial report comprises the consolidated entity (“Group”) consisting of RPMGlobal Holdings Limited and 
its subsidiaries.  

The financial report was authorised for issue on 23 August 2019. 

(a) 

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  and  the  Corporations  Act 
2001  (Cth).  RPMGlobal  Holdings  Limited  is  a  for-profit  entity  for  the  purposes  of  preparing  the  financial 
statements. 

Compliance with IFRS 

The consolidated financial statements of RPMGlobal Holdings Limited also comply with International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

Historical cost convention 

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

(b) 

Principles of Consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by RPMGlobal 
Holdings Limited as at 30 June 2019 and the results of all controlled entities for the year then ended.  RPMGlobal 
Holdings Limited and its controlled entities together are referred to in this financial report as the “consolidated 
entity” or the “Group”.  

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured 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. 

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group (refer to 
note 1(l)).  

Intercompany  transactions,  balances  and  unrealised  gains  on  transactions  between  Group  companies  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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 

Income Tax 

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based 
on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities 
attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. 

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the 
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements.  However, 
the  deferred  income  tax  is  not  accounted  for  if  it  arises  from  initial  recognition  of  an  asset  or  liability  in  a 
transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor 
taxable profit or loss.  Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or 
substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset 
is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. 

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 in the tax 
jurisdiction in which they arose. 

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and 
tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal 
of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets 
and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.  Current tax assets and 
tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a 
net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in 
other comprehensive income or directly in equity.  In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive 
income or directly in equity, respectively. 

Tax consolidation legislation 

RPMGlobal  Holdings  Limited  and  its  wholly  owned  Australian  controlled  entities  have  implemented  the  tax 
consolidation legislation. 

The head entity, RPMGlobal Holdings Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group account 
for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax 
consolidated group continues to be a standalone taxpayer in its own right. 

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, RPMGlobal Holdings Limited also recognises the current 
tax  liabilities  or  assets  and  the  deferred  tax  assets  arising  from  the  unused  tax  losses  and  unused  tax  credits 
assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group. 

Assets  or  liabilities  arising  under  tax  funding  agreements  with  the  tax  consolidated  entities  are  recognised  as 
amounts  receivable  or  payable  to  other  entities  in  the  Group.    Details  about  the  tax  funding  agreements  are 
disclosed in note 4. 

Any  difference  between  the  amounts  assumed  and  amounts  receivable  or  payable  under  the  tax  funding 
agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-owned tax consolidated entities.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 

Segment Reporting 

Operating  segments  are  reported  in  a  manner  consistent  with  the  internal  reporting  provided  to  the  chief 
operational decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and 
assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Managing Director. 

The  assets  and  liabilities  of  the  Group  are  regularly  reviewed  on  a  consolidated  basis  but  are  not  regularly 
reported to the chief operating decision maker at a segment level. As such this information has not been included 
in the Operating Segment note 3. 

(e) 

i) 

Foreign Currency Translation 

Functional and presentation currency  

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency 
of  the  primary  economic  environment  in  which  the  entity  operates  (‘the  functional  currency’).    The 
consolidated  financial  statements  are  presented  in  Australian  dollars,  which  is  RPMGlobal  Holdings 
Limited’s functional and presentation currency. 

ii) 

Transactions and balances 

Foreign  currency  transactions  are  initially  translated  into  the  functional  currency  using  the  exchange 
rates  prevailing  at  the  date  of  the  transaction.  Foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  resulting  from  the 
settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets 
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss, except when they are 
deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable 
to part of the net investment in a foreign operation. 

Non-monetary  items  that  are  measured  at  fair  value  in  a  foreign  currency  are  translated  using  the 
exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and 
liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation 
differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss 
are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and translation differences on non-
monetary assets such as equities whose changes in the fair value are presented in other comprehensive 
income are recognized in other comprehensive income. 

iii) 

Group entities 

The  results  and  financial  position  of  all  the  Group  entities  (none  of  which  has  the  currency  of  a 
hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are 
translated into the presentation currency as follows: 

• 

• 

• 

assets and liabilities on consolidation are translated at the closing rate at the reporting date; 

income  and  expenses  are  translated  at  the  exchange  rates  prevailing  at  the  dates  of  the 
transaction; and 

all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. 

In  disposal  of  a  foreign  operation,  the  component  of  other  comprehensive  income  relating  to  that 
particular foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss. 

Fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of 
the foreign entities and translated at the closing rate.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 

Revenue Recognition from 1 July 2018 

Sale of licences 

Revenue from the sale of perpetual licences is recognised at a point in time when the customer gains 
access and thus control of the software and where the licences are considered distinct from other services 
provided to the customer. 

ii) 

Software subscription 

Revenue from the sale of term (subscription) licences is recognised over time on a straight line basis over 
the subscription term. 

iii) 

Consulting 

Revenue from the provision of consulting services is recognised typically over time as the Group has an 
enforceable right to payment for its performance completed to date. 

iv) 

Software maintenance 

Revenue for software maintenance is recognised over time on a straight line basis over the service period 
as performance obligations require the Company to respond to requests made by customers to provide 
technical product support and  unspecified updates, upgrades and enhancements on a when-available 
and if-available basis. 

v) 

Laboratory testing revenue 

Revenue from sample testing is recognised at a point in time when the laboratory completes testing and 
the customer receives testing results for their samples. 

vi) 

Customer contract with multiple performance obligations 

The Group frequently enters into multiple contracts with the same customer and where that occurs the 
Company treats those arrangements as one contract if the contracts are entered into at or near the same 
time and are commercially interrelated. The Group does not consider contracts closed more than three 
months apart as a single contract. 

The Group’s subscription contracts are combining an obligation to receive a licence and software support 
services  obligations.  The  provision  of  services  and  sale  of  licences  is  treated  as  a  single  performance 
obligation. 

In all other cases, the total transaction price for a customer contract is allocated amongst the distinct 
performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. Where the stand-alone prices 
are highly variable the Group applies a residual approach. 

vii) 

Incremental Costs of obtaining Customer Contracts 

Commissions on software subscriptions are capitalised and amortised over the term, where the term is 
greater than 12 months. 

viii) 

Trade Receivables and Contract Assets  

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary 
course of business. They are generally due for settlement within 30 days and therefore are all classified 
as current. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional 
unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognised at fair value. The Group 
holds  the  trade  receivables  with  the  objective  to  collect  the  contractual  cash  flows  and  therefore 
measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 

Revenue Recognition (Continued) 

A  contract  asset  is  the  right  to  consideration  in  exchange  for  goods  or  services  transferred  to  the 
customer. If the Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer 
pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration 
that is conditional.

Contract liability 

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has 
received  consideration  (or  an  amount of consideration is due) from  the  customer. If a customer pays 
consideration  before  the  Group  transfers  goods  or  services  to  the  customer,  a  contract  liability  is 
recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities 
are recognised as revenue when the Group performs under the contract.  

x) 

Financing components 

The Group does not recognise adjustments to transition prices or Contract balances where the period 
between the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer and payment by customer does not 
exceed one year. 

The  Group  reviewed  its  prior  year  contracts  and  did  not  identify  material  adjustments  in  timing  and 
amounts recognised as revenue in prior years. 

xi) 

Interest income 

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. 

xii) 

Significant Estimates 

In 2017 the Group completed a transaction for the sale of $6,295,000 of perpetual licenses to a customer. 
The transaction included multiple elements and required management judgement on allocation of the 
value to the different revenue components as well as assessing whether the Group has transferred to the 
buyer  the  significant  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  due  to  the  inclusion  of  a  reconfiguration  right 
(between licences and maintenance) that was then only exercisable in limited specified circumstances. 
The  Group  was  confident  that  these  rights  could  be  reliably  estimated  and  the  significant  risks  and 
rewards had transferred to the customer as at 30 June 2017. As a result, in 2017 the Group deferred 
revenue of $2,833,000 against the rights to future upgrades and reliably measured reconfiguration and 
recognized  revenue  of  $3,462,000.  The  price  allocation  to  these  contract  components  or  timing  of 
revenue recognition under the AASB15 did not change.   

During year ended 30 June 2019 the customer agreed to amend and remove the reconfiguration right 
and as a result the Group has recognised a further $1,856,000 from this deferred revenue leaving the 
balance unrecognised at $230,000. The remaining deferred revenue will be recognised as revenue when 
it satisfies the Group’s revenue recognition policies.

Trade Receivables – up to 30 June 2018 

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the 
effective  interest  method,  less  provision  for  impairment.    Trade  receivables  are  generally  due  for  settlement 
within 30 days. They are presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months 
after the reporting date. 

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis.  Debts which are known to be uncollectible 
are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly.  An allowance for impairment of trade receivables is 
established 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  are  considered 
indicators that the trade receivable may be impaired.   

The  amount of  the  provision  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.   

The amount of the allowance is recognised in other expenses in profit or loss. Subsequent recoveries of amounts 
previously written off are credited against other expenses in profit or loss.   

(h)  Work in Progress – up to 30 June 2018 

Work in progress represents costs incurred and profit recognised on client assignments and services that are in 
progress at balance date.  Work in progress is valued at net realisable value after providing for any foreseeable 
losses. 

(i) 

Investments and Other Financial Assets 

Classification  

From 1 July 2018, the Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:  

• 
• 

those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI, or through profit or loss); and  
those to be measured at amortised cost. 

The classification depends on the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual 
terms of the cash flows.  

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments 
in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable 
election  at  the  time  of  initial  recognition  to  account  for  the  equity  investment  at  fair  value  through  other 
comprehensive income (FVOCI).  

The  Group  reclassifies  debt  investments  when  and  only  when  its  business  model  for  managing  those  assets 
changes. 

Measurement  

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not 
at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the 
financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.  

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash 
flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

Debt instruments  

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset 
and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Group 
classifies its debt instruments:  

•  Amortised  cost:  Assets  that  are  held  for  collection  of  contractual  cash  flows  where  those  cash  flows 
represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from 
these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or 
loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses), 
together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item 
in the statement of profit or loss.  

•  FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, 
where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. 
Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains 
or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit or loss. 
When  the  financial  asset  is  derecognised,  the  cumulative  gain  or  loss  previously  recognised  in  OCI  is 
reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/(losses). Interest income from these 
financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange 
gains  and  losses  are  presented  in  other  gains/(losses)  and  impairment  expenses  are  presented  as 
separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.  

•  FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. Again or 
loss  on  a  debt  investment  that  is  subsequently  measured  at  FVPL  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  and 
presented net within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises.  

Impairment  

From 1 July 2018, the Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its 
debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether 
there has been a significant increase in credit risk.  

For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected 
lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.  

(j) 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

For statement of cashflows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents include 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 converted to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk 
of changes in value and bank overdrafts.  Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on 
the consolidated statement of financial position.

Leases 

Leases of property, plant and equipment, where the Group as lessee has substantially all the risks and rewards of 
ownership, are classified as finance leases.  Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the fair value 
of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments.  The corresponding rental 
obligations,  net  of  finance  charges,  are  included  in  other  short-term  and  long-term  borrowings.    Each  lease 
payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost.   

The finance cost is charged to the profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of 
interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.  The property, plant and equipment acquired 
under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term. 

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group as 
lessee are classified as operating leases.  Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received 
from the lessor) are charged to the profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. 

Lease income from operating leases where the Group is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight line basis 
over the lease term. 

(l) 

Business Combinations 

The  acquisition  method  of  accounting  is  used  to  account  for  all  business  combinations,  including  business 
combinations involving entities or businesses under common control, regardless of whether equity instruments 
or other assets are acquired.  The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the fair 
values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group.   

The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration arrangement and the 
fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. 

Acquisition-related  costs  are  expensed  as  incurred.    Identifiable  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  and  contingent 
liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values 
at the acquisition date.  On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest 
in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net 
identifiable assets. 

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the 
acquisition date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the Group’s share 
of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.  If those amounts are less than the fair value of the 
net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, the 
difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase. 

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted 
to their present value as at the date of exchange.  The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing 
rate,  being  the  rate  at  which  a  similar  borrowing  could  be  obtained  from  an  independent  financier  under 
comparable terms and conditions.  

Contingent consideration  is  classified either as equity or a financial liability.  Amounts classified as a financial 
liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

(m) 

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets 

Goodwill and 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 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.  The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair 
value less costs of disposal and value in use.  

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately 
identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets 
(cash generating units).  Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for 
possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. 

(n) 

Property, Plant and Equipment 

Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure 
that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis to 
write  off  the  net  cost  of  each  item  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  over  its  estimated  useful  life  to  the 
consolidated entity, or in case of lease hold improvements, the shorter lease term.  Estimates of remaining useful 
lives are made on a regular basis for all assets.   

The  estimated  useful  lives  for  plant  and  equipment  is  ranging  between  2  and  20  years.  Gains  and  losses  on 
disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount of the assets. These are included in 
profit or loss.  

(o) 

i) 

Intangible Assets 

Software developed or acquired for sales and licensing 

Research expenditure is recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects 
(relating to the design and testing of new areas of products) 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 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  and 
acquired software are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the point at which the asset is 
ready for use on a straight line basis over its useful life, which varies from three to five years. 

ii) 

Software – internal management systems 

Software licences used in internal management systems, whether acquired or internally developed are 
stated at cost less amortisation.  They are amortised on a straight line basis over the useful life from 2.5 
to 5 years.  

iii) 

Patents and trademarks 

Costs associated with patents and trademarks are expensed as incurred.

Intangible Assets (Continued) 

Customer Contracts and Relationships 

The net assets acquired as a result of a business combination may include intangible assets other than 
goodwill. Any such intangible assets are amortised in a straight line over their expected future lives. The 
estimated useful lives of customer contracts is 5 years. 

v) 

Goodwill 

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of 
the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary/business at the date of acquisition.  Goodwill on 
acquisition is included in intangible assets.  Goodwill is not amortised.  Instead, goodwill is tested for 
impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that it might be impaired and 
is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. 

Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units for the purposes of impairment testing. The allocation is 
made to those cash generating units or groups of cash generating units that are expected to benefit from 
business  combination  in  which  goodwill  arose,  identified  according  to  operating  segments  or 
components of operating assets (note 3). 

(p) 

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.  The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 

(q) 

Borrowing Costs 

Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that 
is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale.  Other borrowing costs are expensed. 

(r) 

i) 

Employee Benefits 

Short term obligations 

Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-monetary  benefits,  annual  leave  and  long  service  leave 
expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the 
related service are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and 
are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.  The liability for annual 
leave and long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits.   

Other long-term employee benefit obligations 

The liability for long service leave and other benefits which is not expected to be settled within 12 months 
after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service is recognised in the provision 
for employee benefits  and  measured as the  present value  of  expected future payments to be made in 
respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period 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 
end of the reporting period on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, 
as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. 

The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position if the 
entity  does  not  have  an  unconditional  right  to  defer  settlement  for  at  least  twelve  months  after  the 
reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

Employee Benefits (Continued) 

Bonus plans 

The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit-sharing based on a formula that 
takes into consideration the profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders after certain adjustments.  
The Group recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has 
created a constructive obligation. 

Liabilities for bonus plans are expected to be settled within 12 months and are measured at the amounts 
expected to be paid when they are settled. 

iii) 

Superannuation 

The Group has a defined contribution superannuation plan for its eligible employees.  Contributions to the 
defined contribution fund are recognised as an expense as they become payable.  Prepaid contributions 
are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available. 

iv) 

Share-based payments 

Share-based  compensation  benefits  are  provided  to  employees  via  the  RPMGlobal  Holdings  Limited 
employee share option plan (ESOP) and an employee share purchase plan. Information relating to these 
schemes is set out in note 23. 

The fair value of options granted under the ESOP is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a 
corresponding increase in equity.  The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair 
value of the options granted, which includes any market performance conditions, but excludes the impact 
of  any  service  and  non-market  performance  vesting  conditions.    Non-market  vesting  conditions  are 
included  in  assumptions  about  the  number  of  options  that  are  expected  to  vest.    The  total  expense  is 
recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions 
are to be satisfied.  At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that 
are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions.   It recognises the impact of the revision 
to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. 

(s) 

Value Added Taxes (Including Goods and Services Tax) 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of Value Added Tax (VAT), except where the 
amount of VAT is not recoverable from the relevant tax authority.  In these circumstances the VAT is recognised 
as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the item as expense. 

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of VAT included.  The net amount of VAT recoverable from, 
or payable to, the relevant tax authority is included as a current asset or liability in the consolidated statement of 
financial position. 

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

(t) 

Contributed Equity 

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.

Earnings per Share 

Basic earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing: 

•

the profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than 
ordinary shares 
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.  

ii)  

Diluted earnings per share 

Dilutive earnings per share adjusts the figures used in 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 
the  weighted  average  number  of  additional  ordinary  shares  that  would  have  been  outstanding 
assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. 

(v) 

Financial Guarantee Contracts  

Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time the guarantee is issued.  The liability 
is initially measured at fair value and subsequently at the higher of the loss allowance and the amount initially 
recognised less cumulative amortisation, where appropriate.  

(w) 

Rounding of Amounts 

The parent entity has applied the relief available to it under ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors

The preparation of the financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires the use of 
certain critical accounting estimates.  It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying 
the accounting policies.  The notes in the financial statements set out areas involving a higher degree of judgment 
or complexity, or areas where assumptions are significant to the financial report such as:  

•

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted 

As at 30 June 2019, certain new relevant accounting standards and interpretations that will become mandatory 
in future periods have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective and have not been adopted 
for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2019.  These are as follows: 

(i) 

AASB16 Leases 

This standard and its consequential amendments are currently applicable to annual reporting period of the Group 
beginning  on  1  July  2019.  When  effective,  this  standard  will  replace  the  current  accounting  requirements 
applicable to leases in AASB117 Leases and related interpretations. AASB16 introduces a single lessee accounting 
model that eliminates the requirement for leases to be classified as operating or finance leases. This means that 
for all leases, a right-of-use asset and a liability will be recognised, with the right-to-use asset being depreciated 
and the liability being unwound in principal and interest components over the life of the lease.   

Under the standard key non-IFRS metrics of earnings before tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) will be 
affected as well as lease payments will be represented in the financing activities of the cash flow statement. As 
at the reporting date, the Group has non-cancellable operating lease commitments of $5,457,000. 

The Group will apply the standard from its mandatory adoption date of 1 July 2019. The Group intends to apply 
the simplified transition approach and will not restate comparative amounts for the year prior to first adoption. 
Right-of-use assets for property leases will be measured on transition as if the new rules had always been applied. 
All other right-of-use assets will be measured at the amount of the lease liability on adoption (adjusted for any 
prepaid or accrued lease expenses). 

At this stage the Group has substantially completed its assessment of impact of the new standard, which will 
result in recognition of Right-of-use asset of $4.1 million and liability of $4.6 million on 1 July 2019 and $0.5 million 
in accumulated losses. 

The impact of the new standard for 2019 year if the new standard was applied from 1 July 2018 is as follows: 

Decrease of Rent expense by $2.8 million, Increase of deprecation by $2.5 million and increase of interest by $0.2 
million.

New and amended standards adopted by the Group 

A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period and the group had 
to  change  its  accounting  policies  and  make  retrospective  adjustments  as  a  result  of  adopting  the  following 
standards:  

•  AASB 9 Financial Instruments, and  
•  AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  

The impact of the adoption of these standards and the new accounting policies are disclosed in note 2 below. The 
other standards did not have any impact on the group’s accounting policies and did not require retrospective 
adjustments. The effect of adoption of these standards are disclosed in note 2. 

Early adoption of standards 

The Group has not elected to apply any pronouncements before their operative date.

Changes in Accounting Policies 

2 (a). 

 AASB 9 Financial instruments  

AASB 9 replaces the  provisions of AASB 139 that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement of 
financial assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets and 
hedge accounting.  

The adoption of AASB 9 Financial Instruments from 1 July 2018 resulted in changes in accounting policies and 
adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements as detailed below.  

 (i) Impairment of financial assets 

The group has two types of financial assets that are subject to AASB 9’s new expected credit loss model:  

•  Trade receivables; and 
•  Contract assets. 

The group was required to revise its impairment methodology under AASB 9 for each of these classes of assets.  

While  cash  and  cash  equivalents  are  also  subject  to  the  impairment  requirements  of  AASB  9,  there  was  no 
material impairment loss identified. 

The impact of the change in impairment methodology on the group’s retained earnings and equity is disclosed 
below. 

Impairment of Trade receivables and Contract assets 

The Group applies simplified impairment approach using a provision matrix for all trade receivables and contract 
assets to recognise lifetime expected credit losses. In this credit loss matrix all customers are segregated into 
different  risk  classes  mainly  based  on  their  country  of  origin  and  days  past  due.  Determining  credit  losses 
allowance involves significant judgement, where the Group considers historical experience with credit losses in a 
particular country, success of recovery as well as current and historical data on overdue receivables. 

Receivables balances are written off either partially or in full where the Group estimates the likelihood of recovery 
to be remote. 

In accordance with the transitional provisions in AASB 9 (7.2.15) and (7.2.26), comparative figures have not been 
restated.  The  adjustments  arising  from  the  new  impairment  rules  are  therefore  recognised  in  the  opening 
accumulated losses on 1 July 2018.

As a result trade receivables and contract assets and opened accumulated losses are lower by $496,000, which 
resulted from the application of the expected credit loss model, based on historical collection results mainly from 
the Advisory Division. 

3. 

Operating Segments 

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the CEO in order 
to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess performance of the Group.  The reports are split into 
functional divisions: Software Division, Advisory Division and GeoGAS.  

Software Division provides all of the Group’s Software offerings, including support (maintenance), training and 
implementation services to mining companies.  

Advisory Division provides consulting and advisory services which cover technical and economic analysis and 
assessment of mining activities and resources on behalf of mining companies, financial institutions, customers 
of mining companies (e.g. coal fired electricity generators), lessors and potential lessors of mineral rights to 
mining companies, government departments and agencies and suppliers to mining companies and projects. 

GeoGAS provides services to coal mining clients in respect of gas content testing and relevant consulting 
services.  

Segment revenue, expenses and results include transfers between segments. Such transfers are priced on an 
“arms-length” basis and are eliminated on consolidation.

RPMGlobal  Holdings  Limited  and  its  wholly-owned  Australian  controlled  entities  implemented  the  tax 
consolidation regime. Under the tax consolidation legislation, the entities in the tax consolidated Group entered 
into a tax sharing agreement which, in the opinion of the Directors, limits the joint and several liabilities of the 
wholly-owned entities in the case of a default by the head entity, RPMGlobal Holdings Limited. The entities have 
also entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly-owned entities fully compensate RPMGlobal 
Holdings Limited for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated for any current tax receivable and 
deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to RPMGlobal Holdings 
Limited under the tax consolidated legislation.  The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts 
recognised in the wholly-owned entities’ financial statements.

The group has not recognised deferred tax assets for a portion of tax losses in the parent entity and its subsidiaries 
located in China, Russia, Chile, Brazil, and USA because it is not probable that sufficient future taxable profit will be 
available. Capital losses do not expire, however, it is not probable that the Group would generate capital gains to utilise 
the benefit. Deductible temporary differences in subsidiaries located in China, Russia, Chile, Brazil, Kazakhstan, Turkey 
and USA have not been recognised because it is not probable that sufficient future taxable profit will be available.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities (Continued) 

Significant Estimates – Deferred Tax Assets 

The recognition of the deferred tax asset of $2,729,000 is dependent on future taxable profits in excess of the 
profits arising from the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences. Included in this value are tax losses 
of $2,335,000 that  relate to the  Australian tax consolidated group which has incurred a tax loss in the 2019 
financial year. The Group has completed an assessment of the recoverability of the net deferred tax assets. As 
at 30 June 2019 the Group is forecasting that the tax losses recognised in the deferred tax assets will be utilised 
within three years from balance date. At each reporting period, the recoverability of the net deferred tax assets 
will be reassessed. This may lead to the recognition of this unrecognized tax benefit in future reporting periods 
or  the  derecognition  of  deferred  tax  assets  that  are  currently  recognised  on  the  consolidated  statement  of 
financial position.

Other Assets (Continued)  

Asset recognised from costs incurred to fulfil a contract 

In adopting AASB 15, the group recognised an asset in relation to sales commissions and 3rd party royalty costs. 
These costs had been expensed as incurred in 2018. The asset is amortised on a straight-line basis over the term 
of the specific subscription  contract  it  relates to, consistent with the pattern of recognition of the associated 
revenue.

1 Budgeted gross margin 
2 Weighted average growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the budget period 
3 In performing the value-in-use calculations for each CGU, the group has applied post-tax discount rates to discount the 
forecast future attributable post-tax cash flows. The equivalent pre-tax discount rates are disclosed above 

These assumptions have been used for the analysis of each CGU. Cash flows were projected based on financial 
budgets and management projections over a five year period. Management determined budgeted gross margin 
based  on  past  performance  and  its  expectations  for  the  future.  The  weighted  average  growth  rates  used  are

Ordinary Shares 

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in 
proportion  to  the  number  of  and  amounts  paid  on  the  shares  held.    On  a  showing  of  hands  every  holder  of 
ordinary shares present at a meeting, in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote and upon a poll each share is 
entitled to one vote. Ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of 
authorised capital. 

Options 

Information relating to the RPMGlobal Holdings Limited Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP), including details of 
options issued, exercised and lapsed during the financial year and options outstanding at the end of financial year, 
is set out in note 23. 

Capital Risk Management 

The Group’s objectives when managing capital include safeguarding the ability to continue as a going concern, so 
they continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal 
capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. 

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 does not 
have any externally imposed capital requirements.  

Consistent with the industry practice, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is 
calculated as net debt divided by total capital.  Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including ‘borrowings’ 
and ‘trade and other payables’ as shown in the consolidated statement of financial position) less cash and cash 
equivalents.  Total capital is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the statement of financial position plus net debt. 

As the Group does not have any debt, the gearing ratios at 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2018 were not applicable: 

Total borrowings, trade and other payables 

Less: cash and cash equivalents 

Net (cash) / debt

Financial Risk Management (Continued) 

This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, the objectives, policies 
and processes for measuring and managing risk. 

The  Board  of  Directors  is  ultimately  responsible  for  reviewing,  ratifying  and  monitoring  systems  of  internal 
controls and risk management.  The Board has established an Audit and Risk Committee, which is responsible for 
overseeing  risk  management  systems.    The  Group’s  overall  risk  management  program  focuses  on  the 
unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance 
of the Group.  The Group’s finance division is responsible for development and maintenance of policies which 
deal with each type of risk related to use of financial instruments. 

The Group holds the following financial instruments: 

Financial assets 
Cash and cash equivalents  
Trade and other receivables 1 

Financial liabilities 
Trade and other payables 1 
Contingent consideration 2

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or a counter party to a financial instrument fails 
to  meet  its  contractual  obligations  and  arises  principally  from  the  Group’s  cash  and  cash  equivalents  and  its 
receivables from customers.  

The Group does not require guarantees or collateral of its trade and other receivables.  In some foreign regions 
the Group works on a prepayment basis to avoid credit risk. 

The Group has established an allowance for impairment that represents an estimate of incurred losses in respect 
of trade receivables.  This allowance is determined based on the specific information regarding conditions of a 
particular individual debt.  The information regarding the receivables ageing is monitored by both finance and 
operations management. 

The maximum credit risk exposure of financial assets of the Group is represented by the carrying amounts of 
financial  assets  set  out  above.    The  Group  had  no  significant  concentrations  of  credit  risk  with  any  single 
counterparty or group of counterparties, other than banks or financial institutions.  The Group holds its cash with 
AA and A-rated banks, except for the banks located in Brazil (B), Kazakhstan (B), Mongolia (B), Turkey (BB) and 
South Africa (BB). 

The  group  applies  the  AASB  9  simplified  approach  to  measuring  expected  credit  losses  which  uses  a  lifetime 
expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets (work in progress).  

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables and contract assets have been grouped based on shared 
credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The contract assets relate to unbilled work in progress and have 
substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade receivables for the same types of contracts.

Financial Risk Management (Continued) 

Credit Risk (Continued) 

The  group  has  therefore  concluded  that  the  expected  loss  rates  for  trade  receivables  are  a  reasonable 
approximation of the loss rates for the contract assets. 

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 60 months before 30 June 
2019 and 1 July 2018 and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical 
loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting 
the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. 

On  that  basis  the  loss  allowance  as  at  30  June  2019  and  1  July  2018  on  adoption  of  AASB9  (Note  2a)  was 
determined as follows:

customers.  

 (b)  

Liquidity Risk 

Liquidity risk is the  risk  that  the  Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.  The 
Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity 
to meet its liabilities when due without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

 (c)   Market Risk 
Currency Risk 

The current policy is not to take any forward positions.  At 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2018 the Group had not 
entered into any derivative contracts to hedge these exposures.  The Group does not engage in any significant 
transactions which are speculative in nature.  

As  a  multinational  corporation,  the  Group  maintains  operations  in  foreign  countries  and  as  a  result  of  these 
activities, the Group is exposed to changes in exchange rates which affect its results of operations and cash flows.   

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at reporting date expressed in Australian Dollars was as follows:

A 10 percent strengthening of the Australian dollar against the above currencies at 30 June 2019 based on assets 
and liabilities at 30 June 2019 would have increased/(decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown 
in the table on the next page.  This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain 
constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2018. 

The Group manages its exposure to interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations through a policy approved by 
the Board of Directors.  There are no other significant market risks affecting the Group.

Fair Value of financial instruments 

Fair value hierarchy 

AASB  13  Fair  Value  Measurement  requires  disclosure  of  fair  value  measurements  by  level  in  the  fair  value 
measurement hierarchy as follows: 

- Level 1 - the instrument has quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities 

-  Level  2  -  a  valuation  technique  is  used  using  inputs  other  than  quoted  prices  within  level  1  that  are 
observable for the financial instrument, either directly (i.e. as prices), or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) 

- Level 3 - a valuation technique is used using inputs that are not observable based on observable market 
data (unobservable inputs). 

Recurring fair value measurements 

The following financial instruments are subject to recurring fair value measurements: 

Contingent consideration – level 3 

2019

2,425 

4,826 

Contingent  consideration  has  been  recognised  on  the  acquisition  of  the  MinVu  Group  and  the  acquisition  of 
iSolutions in the prior year. The fair value of the contingent consideration of $2,425,000 has been estimated by 
calculating  the  present  value  of  the  future  expected  cash  outflows  for  the  annuity  of  $2,453,000  based  on  a 
discount rate of 4%. Should the businesses exceed the forecast results the liability may increase.

Share Based Payments 

Tax Exempt Share Plan 

The  Employee  Share  Scheme  enables  the  Board to issue up to $1,000 of shares tax free per employee of the 
Group each year.  There were no shares issued under the $1,000 Share Purchase Plan in 2019 or 2018. 

Eligibility for the tax exempt share plan is approved by the board having regard to individual circumstances and 
performance.  No directors or key management personnel are eligible for the Tax Exempt Share Plan. 

Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) 

The Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) was approved by the Board of Directors on 5 February 2008, amended 
on  7  October  2009,  28  October  2011,  29  October  2013  and  most  recently  on  24  November  2016  following 
approval of shareholders at the Company’s 2016 Annual General Meeting. 

Eligible participants of the ESOP include any person who is employed by, or is a director, officer or executive (or 
their approved permitted nominee), of the Group and whom the Board or its nominee determines is eligible to 
participate in the Option Plan.  A permitted nominee includes a company controlled by the employee, a trust in 
which the employee has, or may have entitlements or such other entity as approved by the Board. Options are 
granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors.   

All options under the ESOP are to be offered to eligible employees for no consideration. The offer to the eligible 
participant must be in writing and specify amongst other things, the number of options for which the eligible 
employee may apply, the period within which the options may be exercised, any conditions to be satisfied before 
exercise, the option expiry date and the exercise price of the options, as determined by the Board. The Board can 
impose any restrictions on the exercise of options as it considers fit.  

The rules of the ESOP plan enable the Board to determine the applicable vesting criteria and to set a timetable 
for vesting of options in the offer document, including vesting in tranches over a defined period. The Board has 
the discretion on whether  or  not  to  set performance hurdles for vesting or to link vesting solely to a defined 
service period in order to drive key staff retention and reward longevity of service.  

The options may be exercised, in part or full, subject to the employee continuing to be employed at the relevant 
vesting dates, by the participant giving a signed notice to the Company and paying the exercise price in full. The 
Company will apply for official quotation of any Shares issued on exercise of any options. 

The rules of the plan allow the Board to set the exercise price per Option in the offer document. 

Subject to the accelerated expiry terms set out in the ESOP plan (explained further below), options will expire five 
years after the date of grant subject to the option holder remaining employed by the Group.  Unexercised options 
will automatically lapse upon expiry. Unless determined otherwise by the Board, in the event of stated events 
detailed in the plan, including termination of employment or resignation, redundancy, death or disablement or 
in the event of a change of control of an employee’s permitted nominee, unvested options shall lapse and the 
expiry date of any vested options will be adjusted in accordance with the accelerated timetables set out in the 
ESOP plan rules (subject to the Board’s discretion to extend the term of exercise in restricted cases).

Share Based Payments (Continued) 

Once shares are allotted upon exercise of the options the participant will hold the shares free of restrictions. The 
shares will rank equally for dividends declared on or after the date of issue but will carry no right to receive any 
dividend before the date of issue. Should the Company undergo a reorganisation or reconstruction of capital or 
any  other  such  change,  the  terms  of  the  options  (including  number  or  exercise  price  or  both)  will  be 
correspondingly changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules. With this exception, the terms 
for the exercise of each Option remains unchanged. In the event of a change of control of the Company, all options 
will vest immediately and may be exercised by the employee (regardless of whether the vesting conditions have 
been satisfied). A holder of options is not entitled to participate in dividends, a new or bonus issue of Shares or 
other securities made by the Company to Shareholders merely because he or she holds options.  

The Options are not transferable, assignable or able to be encumbered, without Board consent and the options 
will immediately lapse upon any assignment, transfer or encumbrance, with the exception of certain dealings in 
the event of death of the option holder. 

The  ESOP  plan  will  be  administered  by  the  Board  which  has  an  absolute  discretion  to  determine  appropriate 
procedures  for  its  administration  and  resolve  questions  of  fact  or  interpretation  and  formulate  terms  and 
conditions (subject to the Listing Rules) in addition to those set out in the ESOP plan.  

The ESOP plan may be terminated or suspended at any time by the Board. The ESOP plan may be amended or 
modified at any time by the Board except where the amendment reduces the rights of the holders of options, 
unless required by the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules, to correct any manifest error or mistake or for which 
the option holder consents. The Board may waive or vary the application of the ESOP plan rules in relation to any 
eligible employee at any time.

The weighted average remaining contractual life of share options outstanding at the end of the period was 2.7 
years (2018: 2.8 years). 

The fair values at grant date for the options were estimated using a Trinomial Lattice model which defines the 
conditions under which employees are expected to exercise their options after vesting in terms of the stock 
price reaching a specified multiple of the exercise price.  

The model inputs for options granted during the 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014 financial years included:

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

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 has 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 (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:

Corporate Governance Statement – Year Ended 30 June 2019 

The Board and Management consider that it is crucial to the Group’s long term performance and sustainability 
and to protect and enhance the interests of the Company’s shareholders and other stakeholders, that it adopts 
an  appropriate  corporate  governance  framework  pursuant  to  which  the  Company  and  its  related  companies 
globally  will  conduct  its  operations  in  Australia  and  internationally  with  integrity,  accountability  and  in  a 
transparent and open manner. 

The  Company  regularly  reviews  its  governance  arrangements  as  well  as  developments  in  market  practice, 
expectations and regulation. 

The  Company’s  Corporate  Governance  Statement  has  been  approved  by  the  Board  of  RPMGlobal  Holdings 
Limited and explains how the Group addresses the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, the ASX Listing 
‘Corporate  Governance  Principles  and 
Rules  2001  and  the  ASX  Corporate  Governance  Council’s 
Recommendations - 3rd Edition’ (the ‘ASX Principles and Recommendations’) and is current as at 30 June 2019.  

Whilst  the  Board  has  elected  not  to  formally  early-adopt  the  4th  Edition  of  the  ASX  Principles  and 
Recommendations, the Board has reviewed and updated a number of its governance policies and procedures and 
has made a number of updates in readiness of full alignment with the 4th Edition from 1 July 2020, including: 

•

•

•

•
•

updating the RPM Board Charter to reflect the Board’s involvement in ‘defining, approving and then
instilling and continually reinforcing RPM’s culture, values of acting lawfully’ and to oversee that on an
ongoing basis;
adopting and implementing a new standalone Whistleblower Policy including an express requirement that
material incidents be reported to the Board should they arise;
adopting and implementing a new standalone Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy including an express
requirement that material incidents be reported to the Board should they arise;
adopting and implementing a new  Anti-Modern Slavery Policy;
updating RPM’s existing Code of Conduct to include RPM’s existing Core Values and referencing the
updated Whistleblower, Anti-Bribery and Corruption and Anti-Modern Slavery Policies and implement a
new Code of Conduct specifically applying to suppliers to RPM.

The Company’s ASX Appendix 4G, which is a checklist cross-referencing the ASX Principles and Recommendations 
to  the  relevant  disclosures  in  the  statement  Corporate  Governance  Statement,  the  Company’s  2019  Annual 
Report and other relevance governance documents and materials on the Company’s website, are provided in the 
corporate governance section of the Company’s website at https://www.rpmglobal.com/investor-centre/. The 
Company’s Corporate Governance Statement together with the ASX Appendix 4G and this Annual Report, were 
also lodged with the ASX on 23 August 2019.  

The Board of the Company strives to meet the highest standards of Corporate Governance, but recognises that it 
is also crucial that the Company’s governance framework appropriately reflects the current size, operations and 
industry in which the Company operates. 

The Company has complied with the majority of recommendations of the ASX Principles and Recommendations 
with  the  exception  of  a  few.  The  Board  believes  the  areas  of  non-conformance,  which  are  explained  in  the 
Corporate Governance Statement and the ASX Appendix 4G do not materially impact on the Company’s ability to 
achieve the highest standards of Corporate Governance, whilst at the same time ensuring the Company is able to 
achieve the expectations of its shareholders and other stakeholders.
