CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 

Dear Fellow Shareholders, 

I am pleased to report that after years of heavy 
investment 
software 
in  our  enterprise 
products we are starting to see them achieve 
real traction in the market. 

Even  in  a  year  in  which  the  last  four  months 
were negatively affected by COVID-19, we saw 
an  85%  increase  in  total  contracted  software 
sales  over  the  previous  year.  Of  the  $34.5 
million  in  total  contracted  subscription  sales 
signed  during  the  year,  $6.1  million  was 
recognised in FY2020 with the balance of $28.4 
million to be reported in future financial years. 

licenses 

software 

The successful transition from selling once-off 
to  offering 
perpetual 
subscription  licenses  over  multiple  years  will 
continue  to  reduce  the  volatility 
in  the 
company’s annual financial results. At 30 June 
2020, the company had total annual recurring 
software  revenue  of  $33.2  million,  from  a 
combination of software subscriptions and the 
renewal  of  support  (maintenance)  revenue 
from  perpetual  product  sales  concluded  in 
previous years. 

The  strong  lift  in  software  sales  delivered  a 
corresponding increase in the company’s share 
price over the same period (from 59 cents to 
$1.05) which increased the company’s market 
capitalisation  by  over  $100  million  to  $235 
million.  

RPM  has  not  been  immune  to  the  global 
economic  impact  of  COVID-19  and,  while  we 
may  see  a  contraction  in  the  growth  of  new 
software  sales  in  FY2021,  we  do  expect  to 
increase  our  software  market  share  strongly 
over the next three to four years. The company 
will  also  benefit  from  having  $33.2  million  in 
pre-contracted  revenue  this  year  to  assist  in 
offsetting any impact from a slow-down in new 
contract commitments due to COVID-19 in the 
short to medium term. 

Although  we  remain  excited  by  the  market 
response  to  our  latest  software  offerings,  we 
have not lost focus on the value and strength 
of our Advisory and GeoGAS businesses which 

both  contributed  positively  to  the  FY2020 
financial result. 

International travel restrictions have impacted 
our Advisory business and will continue to do 
so until they are lifted. However, our GeoGAS 
business  has  felt  only  limited  impact  from 
COVID-19  as  coal  production  in  Australia  is 
regarded as an essential service.  

The software division had another strong year 
in  terms  of  new  customer’s  acquiring  our 
software  products  for  the  first  time.  The 
breadth  and  depth  of  our  software  offering, 
along  with  the 
innovative  nature  of  our 
solutions, resulted in 28 new customers signing 
on to start to use our new software for the first 
time during FY2020 (FY2019: 15).  

With  many  of  our  key  products  having  gone 
through  development  cycles  which  have  now 
been  mostly  completed,  we  will  continue  to 
see  our  software  development  spend  slowly 
decrease as a percentage of sales. Last year we 
made  strong  progress  on  our  new  design 
products where the beta versions are receiving 
excellent  feedback  from  the  customers  who 
are partnering with us to test these innovative 
solutions.  The  Board  firmly  believes  the  new 
parametric  design  nature  of  these  products 
will provide significant financial returns to their 
users who will be able to optimise the future 
value of their mine much earlier in the design 
process.

In  July  2020,  the  company  completed  the 
acquisition  of  Revolution  Mining  Software 
in  the 
(RMS)  which 
Managing  Directors’ 
initial 
consideration  of  $0.5  million  has  now  been

be paid over two years post completion based 
on new software sales. Total consideration to 
be paid for the acquisition is expected to be in 
the order of $1.3 million.

acquisition  opportunities  which  have  the

Australia,  are  based  in  COVID-19  hotspots 
around the world and have been in total lock 
down  since  COVID-19  started  spreading 
throughout their communities. We continue to 
do  everything  we  can  to  support  their  health 
and  wellbeing  and  appreciate  the  sacrifices 
they  are  making  to  enable  our  business  to 
operate to the best of its ability.  

The  Board  is  particularly  pleased  with  the 
ability of our management and staff to execute 
on  a  clearly  defined  strategy  that  we  believe 
will  continue  to  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 support the business in 2021 and 
beyond.

Interim Chairman 

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 

There have been  a  number  of  Board  changes 
during  FY2020  with  Stewart  Butel  leaving  in 
January 2020 and,  after 8 years  as Chairman, 
Allan Brackin departed on 30 June 2020. In July, 
the  Board  appointed  Stephen  Baldwin  as  a 
non-executive  director.  He  has  extensive 
Board  experience  across  multiple  industries, 
having  been  a  director  of  approximately  30 
companies  over  the  past  25  years.  Stephen 
holds a Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) from 
the University of Cape Town and is a qualified 
chartered accountant. 

RPM  maintains  a  strong  balance  sheet  with 
over $40 million of  cash  in  the  bank  as  at  30 
June  2020  and  no  debt.  During  FY2020,  the 
remaining  post 
company  paid  out 
completion payments for previous acquisitions 
of  iSolutions  ($1.8  million)  and  MinVu  ($0.8 
million). 

the 

The company’s share price started the year at 
$0.59 and increased by 78% to close the year 
at $1.05.  

At the beginning of FY2020 the company had 
19,140,831  options  on  issue  (8.85%  of  the 
shares on issue at that time). During the year 
7,869,487  options  were 
exercised  by 
employees (and 600,002 lapsed) and therefore 
by  the  end  of  the  financial  year  there  were 
10,671,342  options  on  issue  (4.76%  of  the 
issue).  No  share  options  were 
shares  on 
granted during FY2020.  

The company had 216,369,197 shares on issue 
as at 1 July 2019 and during the course of the 
year  through  the  exercise  of  options  the 
company  finished  the  year  with  224,238,684 
shares on issue.  

The share price increase and increase of shares 
issue  through  options  being  exercised

company’s  market 
capitalisation increasing by $108 million (85%) 
during the year.

FY2020 saw commodity prices drop to some of 
their  lowest  levels  in  a  decade  particularly  in 
energy and base metals sectors. Only precious 
Iron  Ore  bucked  the  trend, 
metals  and 
especially in the later part of the financial year, 
towards 
when 
started 
in 
USD$2,000/ounce.  This  general  drop 
commodity  price  was  driven  by  increasing 
levels of economic upheaval arising out of the 
China  and  USA  trade  war  which  resulted  in  a 
drop  in  consumer  confidence  in  the  world’s 
two largest economies.  

heading 

Globally the impact of COVID-19 on miners was 
sudden and sharp with some regions, such as 
Australia,  faring  better  than  the  rest  of  the 
world. The first three months of this calendar 
year  saw  the  closure  of  265  mines  globally, 
only  half  of  which  were  back  in  operation  by 
the end of June 2020. Exploration expenditure 
is forecast to drop by 29% in 2020 to a 15-year 
low, with M&A activity also reaching one of its 
lowest points in a decade.

Most 
for 
FY2021  show  a  moderately  positive  trend  as 
restart 
stimulus  packages  necessary 
economies post the COVID-19 lock downs are 
expected  to  result  in  increased  demands, 
especially  for  base  metals.  Bulk  commodities 
are  expected  to  remain  flat  with  iron  ore 
expected  to  drop  over  time  with  increased 
demand offset by increases in capacity as Brazil 
recent  Vale

shutdowns. 

the 

Precious  metals  are  forecast  to  continue  to 
remain  strong  with  the  long-term  consensus 
for  gold  of  USD$1,600  –  USD$1,700/  ounce 
forecast to continue beyond 2022. This strong 
price,  especially  in  AUD  terms,  will  allow 
precious metals miners to continue to invest in 
both  grass  root  project  development  and 
organic growth through M&A.  

Ongoing  pressure  from  public  sentiment  on 
thermal coal as a source of energy for power 
generation in mature regions will continue to 
increase, forcing countries to investigate lower 

greenhouse  emission  options 
for  power 
generation.  This  is  not  however  the  case  in 
central  and  south  east  Asian  countries  with 
large  scale  mine  to  mouth  power  projects 
continuing to be under study as they look for 
cheap domestic sources of power. 

Green financing of select battery minerals and 
fertilizer  projects  will  continue  to  increase. 
Larger  global  miners  are  anticipated  to 
continue  their  transition  away  from  carbon 
intensive assets. 

Mining Technology 

In previous Annual Reports I have commented 
that  “mining  companies  remain  slow  to 
embrace technology” and while that continued 
to  be  true  prior  to  COVID-19’s  emergence 
things  have  changed  dramatically  since  then. 
Mining  companies,  like  all  companies,  now 
fully  appreciate  how 
in 
uncertain  times  to  be  able  to  operate  their 
businesses  “remotely”  through  technology 
enablement. 

important 

is 

it 

Over the last seven years RPM has worked hard 
at building enterprise software solutions which 
by  their  very  nature  are  “remotely  enabled”. 
This gives us a huge advantage and head start 
over  a  number of  competitors  (especially  the 
smaller private companies) who have not had 
the strategic vision and resources to invest in 
moving their products off the desktop and into 
the enterprise let alone to the cloud. 

Because  of  the  advanced  architecture  within 
our  new  products,  we  can  (and  have  already 
begun) moving our products to the cloud. 

High Level Summary of Financial Results 

Total  revenue  for  the  year  increased  by  $0.6 
million to $80.7 million (2019: $80.1 million). 

During the 2020 financial year RPM sold $34.5 
million 
(TCV) 
in  Total  Contracted  Value 
subscription revenue up $24.2 million (235%) 
on the previous year (2019: $10.3 million). Of 
the  $34.5  million  sold  in  FY2020  only  $6.1 
million  was  accounted  for  in  the  FY2020

financial  accounts  and  as  such  the  remaining 
$28.4 million will be spread across the duration 
of the contracts, which in most cases is three 
years.  

The  company  started  FY2019  with  an  annual 
Research and Development expenses run rate 
of $13.1 million and finished the year with an 
annual run rate of $11.3 million.  

the 

the 

term  of 

Prior  to  the  spread  of  COVID-19  we  were 
seeing 
subscriptions 
lengthening  however when  the  spread of the 
virus  accelerated 
in  February/March,  the 
customer appetite for longer term committed 
contract  durations  shortened  significantly. 
Now four months on we are starting to see the 
duration  terms  stretch  out  again  as  our 
customers  realise  the  value  of  technological 
resilience and continuity to their operations.  

The  significant  increase  in  subscription  take- 
up,  as  expected,  resulted  in  our  perpetual 
license  sales  reducing  from  $12.1  million  in 
FY2019 down to $6.9 million in FY2020. 

This $5.2 million decrease in perpetual license 
sales  has  had  a  direct  impact  on  EBITDAR 
(Earnings  before  Interest,  Tax,  Depreciation, 
Amortisation  and  Rent)  which  fell  by  $1.8 
million  to  $7.3  million  (2019:  $9.1  million). 
However,  the  positive  impact  of  moving  to  a 
subscription  model  is  that  the  company  has 
future  contracted  subscription  revenue  of 
$34.7  million  at  the  start  of  FY2021  ($10.7 
million  at  1  July  2020)  to  be  received  and 
recognised in future years.

revenue 

software 

Total 
remained 
comparatively constant with the prior year at 
$48.8  million  even  though  there  was  a 
significant  shift  between  perpetual  and 
subscription licensing. 

Software  support  and  maintenance  revenue 
reduced by $1.2 million due to lower perpetual 
licenses sales and some customers electing to 
terminate their existing perpetual licenses and 
buy subscription licenses. 

Software  consulting  revenue  decreased  by 
$1.2  million  mainly  due  to  travel  restrictions 
coming  into  effect  in  the  second  half  of  the 
year.  

During the year, the company continued work 
on its new Design Products, two of which are 
now  in  beta  testing  at  customer  sites.  We 
expect to begin selling these products in Q2 of 
FY2021. 

These  new  design  products  apply  the  very 
latest  parametric  design  capabilities  and  use 
the  most  advanced  software  technology  and 
enterprise  architecture.  They  will  compete 
with  desktop  products  that  are  currently 
available  in  the  market  which  are  generally 
based  on  the  same  historical  principles  and 
underlying code base which has been adapted, 
reformed, tailored and customised over many, 
many years.  

The  breadth  and  depth  of  our  innovative 
software offering has seen 28 new customers 
sign up in FY2020. While all of these customers 
have purchased software to address a specific 
need,  our  expectation  is  that  over  time  they 
will purchase and roll out additional products 
from our integrated suite of products. 

In  July  2020  we  acquired  the  business  of 
Revolution  Mining  Software 
(RMS).  This 
purchase  was  driven  by  our  desire  to  own 
RMS’s  flagship  Schedule  Optimisation  Tool 
(SOT),  a 
scheduling 
cutting-edge  mine 
optimisation  software  solution  used  by  tier 
one miners around the globe.  

SOT is the industry’s only off-the-shelf strategic 
financial  optimisation  tool  for  underground 
mines  used  by  a  majority  of  the  major  mine 
planning  vendors  that  enables  mine  planners 
to  improve  productivity  and  profitability  by 
optimising the Net Present Value (NPV) of their 
mine schedules.  

This scheduling program adds value to mining 
operations in several ways, by generating life-
of-mine schedules that adhere to all specified 
precedence and operational constraints, while 
optimising  the  NPV  based  on  the  user’s 
financial model.

This  acquisition  also  included  the  following 
software solutions: 

complex  projects  when  they  come  back  to 
market. 

-  Attain,  which  ensures  operational  mine 
planning is systematically aligned with the 
long-range plan; and 

- 

SurfaceSOT,  which  works  for  all  types  of 
mining operations to maximise their NPV 
by  optimising  their  long-range  schedules 
including  management  of  stockpiles  and 
product blending while minimising the re-
handling of materials. 

The  benefit  of  SOT,  Attain  and  SurfaceSOT 
solutions is that they will extend the strategic 
capability  of  our  scheduling  solutions  and 
bolster our industry leading data optimisation 
capabilities which are  becoming more sought 
after by our customers.  

Advisory Division 

Demand for our mining advisory services was 
very  strong  for  the  first  three  quarters  of 
international 
FY2020.  Unfortunately,  once 
travel  restrictions  were  introduced  our  staff 
were not able to have physical “boots on the 
ground” which is important when performing 
resource  and  reserve  related  work  and 
valuations.  

While the division contributed positively to the 
FY2020  financial  result  we  currently  expect  it 
to breakeven in FY2021 assuming international 
travel  restrictions  remain  in  place  for  the  full 
financial year.  

We  will  again  resist  the  urge  to  compete  for 
low  value  and  high-risk  projects  during  this 
period and continue to focus on delivering high 
quality services. We will also look to utilise any 
available  advisory  capability  to  put  our  new 
beta  software  products  through  their  paces, 
given  that  our  advisory  professionals  will  use 
these products in their project engagements. 

for 
Our  advisory  division’s 
independent  assessment  and 
lender  due 
diligence roles remains second to none, which 
positions  us  well  for  the  larger  and  more 

reputation 

GeoGAS Division 

GeoGAS  had  another  solid  year.  While 
revenues  were  down  by  $0.5  million  to  $4.2 
million  (2019:  $4.7  million)  costs  were  also 
down  on  last  year  resulting  in  an  overall 
contribution  of  $2.5  million,  consistent  with 
FY2019. 

Company Expenses 

Operating  expenses  (excluding  rent)  finished 
the  full  year  at  $66.6  million,  $2.5  million 
(3.9%)  higher  than  last  year  (2019:  $64.1 
million).  

This increase was largely due to higher salary 
costs from commissions and incentives paid as 
a  result  of  the  235%  increase  in  subscription 
software sales during the year. 

As a result of COVID-19 the company incurred 
$0.4 million in once off restructuring costs and 
increased the provision for accounts receivable 
by $0.4m. 

Net  cash  inflows  from  operations  for  FY2020 
was $15.8 million (2019: $7.3 million) and at 30 
June 2020 the company had $40 million cash in 
the bank and no debt after paying out the last 
remaining  acquisition  earnouts  amounting  to 
$2.6 million during the year. 

Future Outlook 

RPM, 
like  most  companies  currently,  are 
striving to be flexible and adaptable given the 
continued spread of COVID-19. 

While we were very pleased with the growth in 
software  subscriptions 
in  FY2020,  we  are 
experiencing a slowdown in software sales as 
miners  re-prioritise  both  their  capital  and 
operating expenditure due to COVID-19. This is 
resulting  in  continued  delays  in  new  sales 
contracts being awarded.  

We believe that our commitment to investing 
heavily  in  our  new  software  products  during 

RPMGLOBAL HOLDINGS LIMITED // ANNUAL REPORT 2020 

     |5 

For personal use only 
MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT 

this  time  will  see  our  products  become  even 
more competitive given their ability to be used 
remotely.  

The  company  invested  another  $11.6  million 
on its software products during the year which 
has resulted in a more complete and richer set 
of products than we had this time last year.  

We  expect  the  Asset  Management  suite  to 
have another stellar year in FY2021 and it will 
be  interesting  to  see  the  progress  we  can 
achieve with the new Design suite of products.

they  will  be  the  exception  to  the  rule.  This

company  up  to  be  more  resilient  during  this

out the other side.

1 Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, Amortisation and Rent is a non-IFRS disclosure. In the opinion of the Directors, the Group’s 
EBITDAR 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. EBITDAR has not been audited or reviewed. EBITDAR, unlike 
operating profit and EBITDA is unaffected by the change in leasing standards, and therefore removes the volatility arising under IFRS 16. 

During FY2020 the Group continued the transition of its software revenue model from one-off perpetual licence 
sales  to  subscription  licences  which  run  over  multiple  years.  This  transition  has  impacted  reported  earnings  as 
subscription licence revenue is recognised over the term of the contract (typically 3 – 5 years) whereas perpetual 
licence sales are recognised when the software is delivered with annual maintenance revenue recognised over the 
12  month  maintenance  term.  Although  the  software  subscription  model  results  in  lower  revenue  during  the 
transition period, it has the benefit of securing committed contracted subscription revenue which will be reported 
in future financial years from sales made in the current year. 

From  a  management  viewpoint,  we  monitor  software  subscription  revenue  in  terms  of  Total  Contracted  Value 
(TCV) being the total revenue to be received over the committed term of each contract. While only a portion of the 
TCV  is  recognised  as  revenue  during  the  financial  year,  we  incentivise  our  sales  team  on  TCV  and  monitor  our 
financial performance on TCV. As such, we often refer to subscription sales during the year in terms of TCV rather 
than the amount of subscription revenue received or recognised as revenue during that financial year. 

Licence sales and subscription revenue recognised during the year was $16.9 million compared to $14.5 million in 
the previous year. However, more importantly, total contracted licence revenue was $41.4 million, comprising TCV 
subscription of $34.5 million and perpetual software licence sales of $6.9 million, compared to total contracted 
licence revenue of $22.4 million in the prior year.  

Other revenue included $1.7 million from government COVID-19 subsidies from around the world. As a result of 
COVID-19 the company incurred once-off restructuring costs of $0.4 million, which were offset by savings in travel 
and professional fees. 

Foreign exchange movement towards the end of the year resulted in $0.3 million loss (2019: $0.5 million gain).  

EBITDAR (Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, Amortisation, Rent) decreased by $1.8 million to $7.3 million 
(2019: $9.1 million).

Review and Results of Operations (Continued) 

The Group’s loss after tax of $0.7 million was a $5.2 million improvement over the prior year due to a significant 
reduction in tax expense which was impacted in the prior year by derecognising deferred tax assets. 

The Group delivered $15.8 million in net operating cash inflows and had cash reserves of $40.0 million (2019: $28.2 
million) and no bank debt at the end of the financial year. 

During the year, the Group paid out the last $2.6 million for software acquisitions and earn-out payments for prior 
acquisitions and received $4.6 million in payments from employees exercising employee share options granted in 
previous years. 

Software Division 

The Software division provides mine operations, 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. 

Software revenue was comparatively flat on last year; however, the revenue mix was very different as the Group 
moved ahead on its journey towards subscription licence sales.  

Subscription revenue increased by $7.6 million (317%) to $10.0 million (2019: $2.4 million) and perpetual licences 
reduced by $5.2 million (43%) to $6.9 million (2019: $12.1 million). Maintenance revenue decreased by $1.2 million 
to $20.6 million (2019: $21.8 million) as a number of customers decided to give up their perpetual licences and 
purchase subscription licences.  

The Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) run rate for subscription software licences as at year end was $12.7 million 
(June 2019: $4.3 million). 

Consulting revenue reduced by $1.2 million to $11.3 million (2019: $12.5 million) due to COVID-19 related travel 
restrictions in the last quarter of the year. 

The Group decreased its investment in R&D to $11.6 million (2019: $13.7 million).  

The  Company  concluded  agreements  during  the  financial  year  with  28  new  customers  who  purchased  RPM 
software for the first time.  

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  was  flat  at  $25.8  million  (2019:  $25.9  million).  The  division’s 
performance was growing strongly for the first three quarters until travel restrictions came into force in the last 
quarter. 

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 decreased by 11% to $4.2 million (2019: $4.7 million), however, the business 
still delivered $2.5 million EBITDAR contribution (2019: $2.7 million).

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

RPM,  like most  companies,  are  currently  being  flexible  and  adaptable  given  the  continued  spread of  COVID-19 
across  the  world.  The  Board  and  Management  firmly  believe  our  commitment  to  investing  heavily  in  our  new 
software products during this time will see our products become even more competitive given their ability to be 
used remotely. The Company invested another $11.6 million on its software products during the year which has 
resulted in a more complete and richer set of products than we had this time last year. As our software products 
become more competitive and integrated, we expect our market share to increase strongly over the next three to 
four years. 

We expect the Asset Management suite to have another stellar year in FY2021 and it will be interesting to see the 
progress we can make with the new Design suite of products. 

Our journey to a subscription-based pricing model is now complete and while there will still be some customers 
and countries where perpetual license will be sold, they will be the exception to the rule. This journey has been 
remarkably smooth over the last two years and has set the company up to be more resilient during this global 
pandemic and stronger when we come out the other side. 

The  near-term  outlook  for  our  Advisory  business  remains  cautiously  positive  however  the  Board  expects  the 
division to breakeven in FY2021 on the basis international travel restrictions remain in place for the full financial 
year.  Our  advisory  division’s  reputation  for  independent  assessment  and  financier  due  diligence  roles  remains 
second to none, which positions us well for the larger and more complex projects when they come back to market. 

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 2020 financial year.  

The Executive General Manager of the Advisory Division, whilst remaining employed by the Group, ceased authority 
and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling all activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, in April 
2020 resulting in the company reassessing his position as ceasing to be a KMP. 

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 2020 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.

20.   Remuneration Report - Audited (Continued) 

20A.  Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration (Continued) 

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 parking provided. 

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 
each 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 15 October 2019 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.

the financial report 

Short-term Incentive  

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.  

During  2019  the  business  began  transitioning  from  selling  once-off  perpetual  software  licenses  to  offering 
subscription licenses. In FY2020 as a reflection of the strategic importance of growing subscription revenue, the 
Board introduced a software sales Total Contracted Value (TCV) target as a significant part of the EIP. 

There is, and remains, a clear correlation between the growth in TCV from software subscription sales and the 
increase in shareholder value through the positive movement in the company’s share price.

20.   Remuneration Report - Audited (Continued) 

20A.  Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration (Continued) 

Because of this, the Board’s logic was if management could grow the company’s TCV which delivers committed 
revenue to the company over future years, then there should be a corresponding increase in the company’s share 
price and therefore financial return to shareholders. 

This logic proved to be correct. In 2020 the company’s software TCV from subscriptions increased by 235% and the 
company’s share price increased by 78% (from 59 cents to $1.05). This share price increase helped the company’s 
market capitalisation increase by $108 million (85%) during the 2020 financial year. 

The 235% increase in software subscription TCV effectively resulted in the management targets in the EIP being 
achieved and therefore 100% of the EIP was awarded. 

Cash bonuses are paid, provided for or forfeited in the year to which they relate.  

The Board assessed performance of the KMP for the 2020 Financial Year as shown in the table below:

Options were issued in the 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 2019 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 solely 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. 

There was no Long-Term incentive in the 2020 financial year. 

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.

20D.  Bonuses and Share-based Compensation Benefits 

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 below.

remaining life of the options.  

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.  

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.

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 24 August 2020. 

(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 2020 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(j)).  

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)

(c)

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.

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 26. 

(e) 

Foreign Currency Translation 

i) 

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.

(f) 

Revenue Recognition  

i) 

License Sales 

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 are 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’s 
performance  does  not  create  an  asset  with  an  alternative  use  to  the  Group  and  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, software support 
services and other services obligations. The provision of services and sale of licences is treated as a single 
performance obligation and recognised over time on a straight-line basis over the subscription term. 

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.

(f) 

Revenue Recognition (Continued) 

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. 

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.  

ix) 

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. 

(g) 

Investments and Other Financial Assets 

Classification  

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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 

(g) 

Investments and Other Financial Assets (Continued) 

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. A gain 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  

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.  

(h) 

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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 

(i) 

Leases 

As explained in note 2(a), the Group has changed its accounting policy for leases where the Group is the lessee. 
The new policy is described in note 2(a) and the impacts of the statement is detailed in note 10 and note 14.  

Until 30 June 2019, leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group, as lessee, had substantially all the 
risks and rewards of ownership were classified as finance leases. Finance leases were 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, were included in other short-term and long-term 
payables. Each lease payment was allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost was charged 
to  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 was 
depreciated over the asset’s useful life, or over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term if there is 
no reasonable certainty that the group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term. 

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership were not transferred to the group as 
lessee were classified as operating leases (note 19). Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives 
received from the lessor) were charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. 

(j) 

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.

(k) 

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. 

(l) 

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.  

(m) 

Intangible Assets 

i) 

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.

(m)  

Intangible Assets (Continued) 

iv) 

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 26). 

(n) 

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. 

(o) 

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. 

(p) 

Employee Benefits 

i) 

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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 

(p)   Employee Benefits (Continued) 

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. 

ii) 

Incentives 

The  Group  recognises  a  liability  and  an  expense  for  incentives  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 incentive 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. 

(q)  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. 

(r) 

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 

i)  

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. 

(t) 

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.  

(u) 

Rounding of Amounts 

The parent entity has applied the relief available to it under ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors 
Reports) Instrument 2016/191 and accordingly, amounts in the financial statements and directors’ report have 
been rounded off to the nearest $1,000, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

(w)  Critical Accounting Estimates and Significant Judgments 

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:  

• 

• 

• 

• 

intangible assets, including goodwill (note 11); 

impairment of receivables (note 7, 21(a),note 1(g) and note 1(f) (viii)));

(y)  New Accounting Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted 

The following new accounting standards and interpretations have been published and are not mandatory for 30 
June 2020 reporting periods. The Consolidated Group has decided against early adoption of these standards. The 
Consolidated Group has not finalised an assessment as to the impact of these new standards and interpretations: 

•  AASB 2018-6 (Issued December 2018): Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of a 

business 

•  AASB  2020-1  (Issued  March  2020):  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  –  Classification  of 

liabilities as current or non-current 

•  AASB 2019-5 (Issued November 2019): Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures of 

the effect of new IFRS standards not yet issued in Australia 

Other standards issued but not yet effective are not expected to have a material impact on the entity.  

(z)  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 as a result of adopting AASB 16 Leases. The impact of the adoption of the leasing 
standard 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. 

Early adoption of standards 

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

Changes in Accounting Policies 

This note explains the impact of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases on the group’s financial statements and discloses 
the new accounting policies that have been applied from 1 July 2019 in note 2(a) below.  

The group has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019 using the modified retrospective approach, as permitted under 
the specific transitional provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new 
leasing rules are therefore recognised in the opening balance sheet on 1 July 2019.

2 (a)   Adjustments recognised on adoption of AASB 16 

On adoption of AASB 16, the group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been 
classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of AASB117 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the 
present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of 1 
July 2019. The weighted average of lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 July 
2019 was 3.7%.

The  Group  has  elected  to  use  the  transition  practical  expedient  allowing  the  standard  to  be  applied  only  to 
contracts that were previously identified as leases, Applying AASB 117 at the date of initial application. Therefore, 
the definition of a lease in accordance with AASB 117 and interpretation 4 Determining whether an arrangement 
contains a Lease will continue to be applied for those leases entered into or modified before 1 July 2019. The 
Group did not apply other practical expedients on transition. 

Applying AASB 16 for all leases the Group: 

(i) 

(ii) 

(iii) 

Recognises right-of-use assets as if the Standard had been applied since the commencement date, 
but discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application; 

Recognises  depreciation  of  right-of-use  assets  and  interest  on  lease  liabilities  in  the  consolidated 
statement of comprehensive income; and  

Separates the total amount of cash paid into a principal portion and interest in the statement of cash 
flows. 

Lease incentives are recognised as part of the measurement of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities whereas 
under AASB 117 they resulted in the recognition of lease incentive liability, amortised as a reduction of rental 
expense on a straight-line basis.  

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, 
the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the 
funds necessary to obtain an  asset of  similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and 
conditions.

2.      Changes in Accounting Policies (continued) 

2 (a).  Adjustments recognised on adoption of AASB 16 (Continued) 

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:  

• the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability  

• any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received  

• any initial direct costs and restoration costs.  

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a 
straight-line  basis.  If  the  Group  is  reasonably  certain  to  exercise  a  purchase  option,  the  right-of-use  asset  is 
depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life. 

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis 
as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value 
assets comprise IT-equipment and small items of office furniture. 

When the group revises its estimate of the term of any lease (because, for example, it re-assesses the probability 
of a lessee extension or termination option being exercised), it adjusts the carrying amount of the lease liability 
to reflect the payments to make over the revised term, which are discounted using a revised discount rate. The 
carrying  value  of  lease  liabilities  is  similarly  revised  when  the  variable  element  of  future  lease  payments 
dependent on a rate or index is revised, except the discount rate remains unchanged. In both cases an equivalent 
adjustment  is  made  to  the  carrying  value  of  the  right-of-use  asset,  with  the  revised  carrying  amount  being 
amortised over the remaining (revised) lease term. If the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is adjusted to 
zero, any further reduction is recognised in profit or loss. 

The Group did not recognise any expenses relating to the leases of low-value assets or variable lease payments 
not included in the measurement of lease liabilities. The Group does not have any commitments relating to short 
term leases, as disclosed in note 20(a), and there are no future cash outflows that the Group believe they are 
potentially exposed to that are not reflected in the measurement of lease liabilities.

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. 

Significant Estimates – Deferred Tax Assets 

The recognition of the deferred tax asset of $2,693,000 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  $865,000  that  relate  to  the  Australian  tax  consolidated  group  which  has  incurred  a  tax  loss  in  the  2020 
financial year. The Group has completed an assessment of the recoverability of the net deferred tax assets. As 
at 30 June 2020 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.

3 In performing the value-in-use calculations for each CGU, the group has applied both pre-tax and post-tax discount rates to discount 
the forecast future attributable pre-tax and post-tax cash flows. The 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  including  current  economic  conditions. 
Management determined budgeted gross margin based on past performance and its expectations for the future. 
The weighted average growth rates used are consistent with forecasts included in industry reports. The discount 
rates used reflect specific risks relating to the relevant segments.

Impact of possible changes in key assumptions 

20% changes to any of the key assumptions do not indicate impairment for GeoGAS and Software Goodwill.

Trade payables are amounts due to suppliers for goods purchased or services provided in the ordinary course of 
business.  Trade  payables  are  generally  due  for  settlement  within  30  days  and  therefore  are  all  classified  as 
current. 

Other payables and accruals generally arise from normal transactions within the usual operating activities of the 
Group and comprise items such as employee taxes, incentives, employee on costs, GST and other recurring items.

Contract liabilities consist of unearned income for software maintenance, subscriptions, licences and consulting 
and advisory services. These have increased in line with revenue growth for these revenue lines compared to 
2019. The contract liabilities in 2020 have increased in line with the increase in revenue growth noted for each 
respective stream compared to 2019, as noted in note 26(a). 

From the opening contract liability balances of $17,052,000 the group has recognised $15,812,000 in the 
current reporting period. The group expects to recognise approximately all contract liabilities in its 2020 
revenues.

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 2020 and 30 June 2019 were not applicable: 

Total borrowings, trade and other payables 

Less: cash and cash equivalents 

Net (cash) / debt

The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: 

•

•

•

credit risk;

liquidity risk; and

market risk.

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.

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 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. The Group holds  its cash with AA and A-rated banks, except for the 
banks located in Brazil (B), Kazakhstan (B), Mongolia (BB), Turkey (BB) and South Africa (BB), Colombia (B), China 
(B) and Russia (B).

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.  

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.  

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 
2020 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 including COVID-19 that 
affect the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.

(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. 

The Group regularly reviews cashflow forecasts and maintains sufficient cash on demand.

Market Risk

Currency Risk 

The current policy is not to take any forward positions. At 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019, 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 2020 based on assets 
and liabilities at 30 June 2020 would have increased/(decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown 
in the table below 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 2019. 

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

2,425 

Contingent consideration has been recognised on the acquisition of iSolutions in the prior years. The fair value

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 2020 or 2019. 

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.

Share Based Payments (Continued)

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, 24 November 2016 and most recently following approval 
of shareholders at the Company’s 2019 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).  

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.

Share Based Payments (Continued)

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 options issued vest in tranches over a three year period from the date of grant, with vesting conditions 
solely 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.

1 Weighted average share price at the exercise date 

The weighted average remaining contractual life of share options outstanding at the end of the period was 2.5 
years (2019: 2.7 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:

Events occurring after the reporting period

On 31 July 2020, the Group acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Revolution Mining Software Inc (RMS), a 
mine  scheduling  optimisation  company  located  in  Sudbury,  Canada.  RMS  has  over  six  years’  experience  in 
developing  and  selling  its  Schedule  Optimisation  Tool  (SOT),  a  cutting-edge  mine  scheduling  optimisation 
software solution for tier one miners around the globe. The financial effects of this transaction have not been 
brought  to  account  at  30  June  2020.  The  operating  results,  assets  and  liabilities  of  the  company  will  be 
consolidated from 31 July 2020. 

The provisionally determined fair values of the assets and liabilities of RMS as at the date of acquisition are as 
follows: 

Purchase consideration 

Cash 

Contingent consideration 

$000 

522 

777 

1,299 

Contingent consideration comprises an adjustment for net monetary assets and ongoing retention and growth of 
annuity  revenues  by  RMS.  The  potential  undiscounted  value  of  future  retention  payments  was  estimated  at 
$400,000. The fair value was calculated as $385,000 by discounting this value of future payments by 3.5%. 

The amount of contingent consideration is subject to an independent valuation which was not completed by the 
date of this report.  

Acquisition related costs will be included in professional fees and other expenses in profit and loss in the reporting 
period ended 30 June 2020. The provisionally determined fair values of the assets and liabilities recognised as at 
the date of the acquisition are as follows: 

Purchase consideration 

Cash and cash equivalents 

Trade and other receivables 

Property, plant and equipment 

Intangible assets 

Contract liabilities 

Net identifiable assets acquired

At the time the financial statements were authorised for issue, the group had not yet completed the accounting 
for the acquisition of RMS. In particular, the fair values of the assets and liabilities disclosed above have only been 
determined  provisionally  as  the  independent valuations  have  not  been  finalised.  It  is  also  not  yet  possible  to 
provide  detailed  information  about  each  class  of  acquired  receivables  and  any  contingent  liabilities  of  the 
acquired entity. 

No other matter or circumstance other than COVID-19 related matters have arisen since 30 June 2020 that has 
significantly affected the Group’s operations, results or state of affairs, or may do so in the future years.

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.

The Company’s Corporate Governance Statement together with the ASX Appendix 4G and this Annual Report, 
were also lodged with the ASX on 24 August 2020.  

The Board of the Company strives to meet the highest standards of Corporate Governance and 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.
