BidEnergy offers a complete energy spend management solution that combines intelligent automation and industry expertise to help multi-site businesses minimise cost while maximising their control over the complex energy spend category . 2 BidEnergy Limited | ANNUAL REPORT 2018 CHAIRMAN’S LETTER Dear Shareholders, It is a pleasure to present to BidEnergy shareholders the Company’s full year annual report covering the 12 months ended 30 June 2018 (FY 2018), my first since being appointed your Chairman. FY 2018 was a defining year for our Company . BidEnergy significantly expanded its presence in the global energy management market and started to turn its aspirational dreams into reality, providing a service at the forefront of machine learning and robotic process automation (RPA) that adds real value to customers by putting them back in control of their energy bills . In addition to successfully entering the UK, BidEnergy dramatically increased its enterprise subscription-based customers in the US, Australia and New Zealand . This expansion of our global footprint is occurring during a time that rising global energy prices are impacting business profits and increased price volatility makes it more difficult to manage those costs over the full energy spend lifecycle – especially if customers have multiple sites in different jurisdictions . Over FY 2018, BidEnergy’s revenue increased 55% to $4 .1 million . At 30 June 2018, we had 53 bid subscription customers across 4 markets, and our meters under management stood at 21,518 . The Managing Director’s report outlines additional key metrics and operational highlights . Your Board has ensured that BidEnergy is well placed at the forefront of innovation as the ‘fourth revolution’ sweeping the world in machine learning as RPA gains pace . We believe we’re the only company globally offering an RPA solution in energy spend . As a result, we are pioneering the ‘frictionless’ market by removing pain points for customers and retailers alike and reducing market costs and restraints . BidEnergy’s cloud-based platform simplifies the complex energy spend management process by using automation, enabling organisations to have complete control over their energy spend . BidEnergy RPA automates the energy spend management process for multi-site companies – from automatically capturing and validating invoices and meter data to streamlining account and payment services . BidEnergy finds the cheapest plan for each business using sophisticated analytics, machine learning and reporting . This is pertinent because the recent Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) inquiry into electricity supply and prices highlighted a lack of transparency in the energy market, particularly with discounts and tariffs . It believes: one in two businesses are paying more for their electricity than they should; local energy prices increased 55% in a decade; and Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne are all in the top 10 most expensive cities in the world for electricity . co-founder Stuart Allinson stepped down from the Board . I would like to thank Bob, Phil and Stuart for their expertise in helping get BidEnergy to where it is today, which included the acquisition and turnaround of rebate capture business RealWinWin . As part of the business’ decision to refocus on the Australian and New Zealand markets, former Executive Director of Foxtel, Guy Maine, was appointed Managing Director in January . Guy brings extensive experience building businesses and developing products in challenger markets with lengthy stints at Singtel Optus and Virgin Mobile . Australian co-founder Anthony Du Preez returned to the business as Executive Director and Chief Technology Officer . I would also like to thank the entire BidEnergy team for their tireless dedication and commitment over FY 2018, and thank you, our shareholders, for your support over the past 12 months . We are entering an exciting period for our Company . BidEnergy will continue to build momentum in existing markets and segments as well as launch an offer into the SME and residential sectors, where we bring the learnings from our leading Enterprise product to the main street, offering everyone the opportunity to gain better control of and reduce their energy costs . Mr James Baillieu Chairman The ACCC inquiry has added to consumer awareness of rising energy costs . Your Board believes BidEnergy is uniquely placed to offer an innovative solution for large and small business, as well as residential customers . FY 2018 saw changes to BidEnergy’s Board and Management team . In November, BidEnergy’s Chairman Robert Browning retired from the Board, Phil Adams resigned as managing director and BidEnergy “Over FY 2018, BidEnergy’s revenue increased 55% to $4.1 million. At 30 June 2018, we had 53 bid subscription customers across 4 markets, and our meters under management stood at 21,518.” BidEnergy Limited | ANNUAL REPORT 2018 3 MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT Dear Shareholder, I’m delighted to present my first Annual Report review to you in my role as Managing Director of BidEnergy. A lot has happened in a short space of time, and I’m very excited by the opportunities we see for our Company. REFINEMENTS REALISING IMMEDIATE BENEFITS Since joining BidEnergy in January 2018, the Company has undergone significant developments across all operations . We are now more effectively leveraging our technical expertise, we have refined our sales approach to introduce more proactive lead generation, and, as result, substantially increased customers across all markets in which we operate . BidEnergy platform subscription fee revenue increased by 52% per cent during the 2018 financial year to $1 .9M million . At 30 June BidEnergy platform Annualised Subscription Fee Revenue* was $2 .5M – an increase of 57% on prior year . RealWinWin Rebate capture revenue was $2 .1 million for the 2018 financial year, an increase of 62% in part due to the first full year of RealWinWin results since it’s acquisition in November 2016 . RealWinWin performed strongly contributing $0 .3million of underlying EBITDA for the FY18 year . The Company as a whole has achieved a compound annual revenue growth rate (CAGR) of 120% over the last two years . The company achieved this growth while simultaneously demonstrating fiscal discipline in all operations, particularly in the second half of the year, significantly reducing the “cash burn” by more than 50% from $600,000 to under $300,000 per month . Based on current plans and rate of growth, BidEnergy is on track to be cash flow positive by December quarter 2019 . KEY BUSINESS METRICS (30th June) (definitions page 6) ANNUALISED GROUP REVENUE (BID & RWW) $4.6M ANNUALISED RWW REVENUE $2.1M ANNUALISED BID SUBSCRIPTION REVENUE $2.5M BID SUBSCRIPTIONS BID US/UK SUBSCRIPTIONS 53 5 METERS 21,518 FTE 35 2 YEAR REV CAGR 120% NET UPSELL 5% CHURN 3% 4 BidEnergy Limited | ANNUAL REPORT 2018 MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT CONTINUED REACHING SCALE WITH SUBSCRIPTIONS AND CONTRACTS US – EXPANSION BidEnergy continues to build traction in its main markets with more than 53 enterprise customers of significant size and stature . As the only Robotics Process Automation (RPA) player in energy spend management, our cloud-based platform delivers information faster, more accurately and at a fraction of the cost of traditional competitors . Over the past year, we successfully won multiple contracts to provide end-to-end energy spend lifecycle management for enterprise customers in the USA, UK, New Zealand and Australia . We are well-positioned to continue this growth by capitalising on a strong pipeline of opportunities . AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND – BUILDING MOMENTUM BidEnergy has refocused its attention on the local market, successfully building sales momentum to secure new subscription customers including the Salvation Army, Singtel Optus, Property NSW, the Australian Venue Company and the REA Group, and a large transportation and logistics company with more than 200 sites . The Australian energy market has been the subject of increased scrutiny . The ACCC inquiry raising consumer and media awareness of the complexities of the energy sector, by attributing rising energy prices to reduced transparency, regulation and competition . The review of sales and marketing operations locally has already started to harness this interest delivering increased sales reach through the development of agency relationships with key individuals in Victoria, NSW and South Australia . The US represents a significant growth opportunity for BidEnergy’s energy spend management platform . We were recently awarded a major contract by a large American retailer with a national presence of more than 850 stores in 49 states . Leading global brand Berkshire Hathaway has also been added to BidEnergy’s global portfolio in the past year . In addition, existing Australian customers Toll and Cotton On are extending their local use of BidEnergy’s RPA platform and procurement expertise to include their US sites from September this year . These recent contract wins provide BidEnergy with national coverage in the US, allowing us to expand our RPA platform footprint with a total market focus . To do this in the US, we will leverage the expertise of the RealWinWin sales team in Philadelphia to target multi-site enterprises as a natural extension to their energy saving initiatives delivered through rebate capture . UK – NEW MARKET ENTRY BidEnergy is capitalising on international expansion opportunities with a successful entry into the UK with existing RPA subscription customer BP . The UK represents a large, sophisticated and concentrated energy market five times larger than Australia’s, while being structurally similar to Australia . The UK has a digitised energy supply chain with electronic bills, readily available interval data and more than 50 active energy retailers . BidEnergy recently appointed a UK and Europe country manager, who has extensive experience and contacts in the UK market and will be tasked with growing our subscription customer base both in the UK and the larger but more fragmented European market . Map of USA – BidEnergy Active Data collection points July 1st 2018 BidEnergy Limited | ANNUAL REPORT 2018 5 BID BILLY – DEVELOPING A NEW PRODUCT FOR SMALL BUSINESS AND CONSUMERS In the second half of FY 2018, we worked on development of a product based on BidEnergy RPA to broaden our customer target market beyond multi-site and major corporate business to include the vast SME and residential sectors . A ‘BID Billy’ pilot was launched in August 2018 with the South Australian Tourism Council (SATIC), offering South Australian tourism businesses the ability to better manage their energy bills and consumption . During FY19 the company will look to extend the ‘Bid Billy’ solution offering to the more than two million Australian small businesses operating in some of the highest energy cost markets in the world . The BID Billy retail solution has multiple applications for the SME industry and has already received global interest . Further, existing customers of ours with extensive global franchise networks have already indicated interest in pursuing Billy in other markets, as Billy provides the first opportunity for them to assist their constituents with professional energy spend management services . Looking forward, BidEnergy will look to partner with high-profile consumer brands to offer BID Billy to the residential market both in Australia and internationally . OUR PEOPLE Since I joined in January, we have worked hard to create a culture at BidEnergy that allows employees to more fully participate in the Company’s journey and success . In addition to refining and revitalising our approach to market, we have implemented a reward and recognition program for employees . This program has been an effective retention tool for the company, particularly at a time of skill shortages in the RPA sector . I am very proud of the way our team has refined processes and taken on the challenges of preparing the company for the next stage of its growth trajectory . The substantial progress BidEnergy has achieved over financial year 2018 are a direct testament to the great team we have and their focus on delivering truly transformative and disruptive technology platform . We are now in good shape to deliver real value to our staff, customers and shareholders, and I am excited by the opportunities we see for our Company in financial year 2019 and beyond .

RealWinWin contributed $0 .3M of underlying EBITDA, whilst BID US contributed a loss of $0 .6M driven by BID dedicated resources that were in place for the first half of FY18 .

Statutory net profit after tax FINANCIAL POSITION REVIEW OF OPERATIONS During year end 30 June 2018 BidEnergy completed a management and organisational restructure including the appointment of Managing Director Mr Guy Maine on 17 January 2018 . Mr Maine has extensive experience developing markets for new technology and has been instrumental in new product development and improved sales velocity of the BidEnergy platform . Under Mr Maine’s leadership the company has achieved its improved sales momentum whilst demonstrating fiscal discipline, achieving its January 17 announced target average cash burn of under $300,000 per month in the last half of the 2018 financial year . BidEnergy operating revenue grew to $4 .1M in FY18 (FY17: $2 .6M) – a 55% increase on the prior year . Driving this result was an increase in BidEnergy energy spend management platform subscription fee revenue to $1 .9M (52% increase) as well as a full year of rebate capture revenue from US energy rebate management business RealWinWin amounting to $2 .1M (FY:17 $1 .3M) .

The increase in net assets was mostly due to completion of the aforementioned rights issue during the year, offset by capital raising, restructure, Ameresco asset purchase agreement related costs and the operating net loss for the period . * Underlying EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure calculated as profit before income tax, and before depreciation and amortisation, capitalised salaries, share based payments, reorganisation costs, Ameresco transaction costs, net finance costs and foreign exchange as detailed in note 4 of the financial report .

BidEnergy Limited | ANNUAL REPORT 2018 11 REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the Consolidated Entity, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations . Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors . The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings: • Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration • Details of remuneration • Service agreements • Share-based compensation • Additional information • Additional disclosures relating to key management personnel Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration The objective of the Consolidated Entity’s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered . The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best practice for the delivery of reward . The Board of Directors (‘the Board’) ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices: • competitiveness and reasonableness • acceptability to shareholders • performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation • transparency The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its directors and executives . The performance of the Consolidated Entity depends on the quality of its directors and executives . The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high quality personnel . The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders’ interests . The Board have considered that it should seek to enhance shareholders’ interests by: • having economic profit as a core component of plan design • focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and delivering constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value • attracting and retaining high calibre executives Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance executives’ interests by: • rewarding capability and experience • reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth • providing a clear structure for earning rewards In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive director remuneration is separate . Non-executive directors remuneration Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role . Non-executive directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board . The Board may, from time to time, receive advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure non-executive directors’ fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market . The chairman’s fees are determined independently to the fees of other non-executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market . The chairman is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of his own remuneration . Shareholders approve the maximum aggregate remuneration for non-executive directors . The Board recommends the actual payments to directors and the Board is responsible for ratifying any recommendations, if appropriate . ASX listing rules require the aggregate non-executive directors remuneration be determined periodically by a general meeting . The aggregate approved remuneration for non-executive directors is $500,000 . Executive remuneration The Consolidated Entity aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of remuneration which has both fixed and variable components . The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components: • base pay and non-monetary benefits • short-term performance incentives • share-based payments • other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave The combination of these comprises the executive’s total remuneration . Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the Board based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the Consolidated Entity and comparable market remunerations . Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the Consolidated Entity and provides additional value to the executive . The short-term incentives (‘STI’) program is designed to align the targets of the business units with the performance hurdles of executives . STI payments are granted to executives based on specific annual targets and key performance indicators (‘KPI’s’) being achieved . KPI’s include profit contribution, customer satisfaction, leadership contribution and product management . 12 BidEnergy Limited | ANNUAL REPORT 2018 DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONTINUED The long-term incentives (‘LTI’) include long service leave and share-based payments . The Board reviewed the long-term equity-linked performance incentives specifically for executives during the year ended 30 June 2018 . Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration Remuneration for certain individuals is directly linked to the performance of the Consolidated Entity . A portion of cash bonus and incentive payments are dependent on defined financial targets being met . The remaining portion of the cash bonus and incentive payments are at the discretion of the Board . The Board is of the opinion that the continued improved results can be attributed in part to the adoption of performance based compensation and is satisfied that this improvement will continue to increase shareholder wealth if maintained over the coming years . An agreed set of protocols were put in place to ensure that the remuneration recommendations would be free from undue influence from key management personnel . These protocols include requiring that any engaged remuneration consultant not communicate with affected key management personnel without a member of the Board being present, and that the consultant not provide any information relating to the outcome of the engagement with the affected key management personnel . The Board is also required to make inquiries of the consultant’s processes at the conclusion of the engagement to ensure that they are satisfied that any recommendations made have been free from undue influence . The Board is satisfied that these protocols were followed and as such there was no undue influence . Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2017 Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’) At the 2017 Annual General Meeting of shareholders held on 20 November 2017, 90 .24% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2017 .

BidEnergy Limited | ANNUAL REPORT 2018 25 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2018 NOTE 1. GENERAL INFORMATION The financial statements cover BidEnergy Limited as a Consolidated Entity consisting of BidEnergy Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year . The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is BidEnergy Limited’s functional and presentation currency . BidEnergy Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia . Its registered office is: Suite 5, CPC 145 Stirling Highway Nedlands, Western Australia, 6009 Its principal place of business is: Floor 7, Suite 9, 530 Little Collins Street Melbourne, Victoria 3000 A description of the nature of the Consolidated Entity’s operations and its principal activities are included in the Directors’ report, which does not form part of the financial statements . The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of Directors, on 29 August 2018 . NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below . These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated . New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The Consolidated Entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are mandatory for the current reporting period . Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted . Basis of preparation These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities . These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’) . Historical cost convention The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments . Critical accounting estimates The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates . It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Consolidated Entity’s accounting policies . The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3 . Parent entity information In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Consolidated Entity only . Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 28 . Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of BidEnergy Limited (‘Company’ or ‘parent entity’) as at 30 June 2018 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended . BidEnergy Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the ‘Consolidated Entity’ . Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Consolidated Entity has control . The Consolidated Entity controls an entity when the Consolidated Entity 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 Consolidated Entity . They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases . Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Consolidated Entity 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 Consolidated Entity . The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting . A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent . Where the Consolidated Entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non- controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity . The Consolidated Entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss . 26 BidEnergy Limited | ANNUAL REPORT 2018 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued Operating segments Operating segments are presented using the ‘management approach’, where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’) . The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance . Foreign currency translation The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is BidEnergy Limited’s functional and presentation currency . Foreign currency transactions Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions . Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss . Foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date . The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period . All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity . The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of . Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the Consolidated Entity and the revenue can be reliably measured . Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable . Platform subscription fees Platform subscription fee revenue is recognised over the period to which the customer receives services, once the risks and rewards are transferred to the customer and there is a valid sales contract . Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of sales returns and trade discounts . RWW rebate revenue RWW rebate revenue is recognised at the point where cash rebates are received from utility providers, the risks and rewards are transferred to the customer and there is a valid sales contract . Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of sales returns and trade discounts . Non-subscription revenue Non-subscription revenue from energy spend review services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contracts . Stage of completion is measured by reference to labour hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated labour hours for each contract . Where the contract outcome cannot be reliably estimated, revenue is only recognised to the extent of the recoverable costs incurred to date . Interest Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method . This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset . Other revenue Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established . Income tax The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable . Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for: • When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or • When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future . Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses . The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date . Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered . Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset . Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously . BidEnergy Limited | ANNUAL REPORT 2018 27 Current and non-current classification Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification . An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Consolidated Entity’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period . All other assets are classified as non-current . A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Consolidated Entity’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period . All other liabilities are classified as non-current . Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current . Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value . Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment . Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days . Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis . Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly . A provision for impairment of trade receivables is raised when there is objective evidence that the Consolidated Entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables . Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation and default or delinquency in payments (more than 60 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable may be impaired . The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate . Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial . Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment . Plant and equipment Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment . Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items . Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows: Buildings Leasehold improvements Plant and equipment Plant and equipment under lease Computer equipment Office equipment 40 years 3–10 years 2–5 years 2–5 years 2–5 years 2–5 years The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date . Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter . An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the Consolidated Entity . Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss . Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits . Intangible assets Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisition . Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost . Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment . Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment . The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset . The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually . Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period . Goodwill Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business . Goodwill is not amortised . Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses . Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed . 28 BidEnergy Limited | ANNUAL REPORT 2018 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued Customer lists Customer lists acquired in a business combination are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 7 .5 years . Software Significant costs associated with software are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 2 – 5 years . Capitalised development costs Software development costs are capitalised at the direct costs incurred and amortised on a straight line basis over the period of their expected benefit being their finite life of 2-3 years . Amortisation starts at the time that the technology is activated and issued by both internal and external customers . The capitalised costs include the direct costs of internal staff and any supporting software acquired from a third party . Brand The brand of an entity arises on the acquisition of a business . The brand is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 7 .5 years . Impairment of non-financial assets Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired . Other non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable . An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount . Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use . The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs . Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit . Trade and other payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Consolidated Entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid . Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted . The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition . Employee benefits Short-term employee benefits Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled . Other long-term employee benefits The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method . Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service . Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows . Defined contribution superannuation expense Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred . Share-based payments Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees . Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services . Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price . The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date . Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Consolidated Entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment . No account is taken of any other vesting conditions . The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period . The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period . The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods . The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted . The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows: • during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period . • from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date . BidEnergy Limited | ANNUAL REPORT 2018 29 All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss . The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability . Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value . Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied . If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made . An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification . If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Consolidated Entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation . If the condition is not within the control of the Consolidated Entity or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited . If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately . If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification . Fair value measurement When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market . Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests . For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use . Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs . Issued capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity . Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds . Business combinations The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired . The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree . For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets . All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss . On the acquisition of a business, the Consolidated Entity assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Consolidated Entity’s operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date . Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the Consolidated Entity remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss . Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value . Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss . Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity . The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill . If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquirer . Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis . The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date . The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value . 30 BidEnergy Limited | ANNUAL REPORT 2018 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued Earnings per share Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of BidEnergy Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year . Diluted earnings per share Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares . Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) and other similar taxes Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority . In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense . Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable . The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position . Cash flows are presented on a gross basis . The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows . Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority . Funds held in trust The Company holds funds and pays utility bills on behalf of its clients . These funds do not meet the definition of an asset, therefore it is not recognised in the statement of financial position . New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Consolidated Entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2018 . The Consolidated Entity’s assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Consolidated Entity, are set out below . AASB 9 Financial Instruments This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 . The standard replaces all previous versions of AASB 9 and completes the project to replace IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ . AASB 9 introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets . A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost, if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, which arise on specified dates and solely principal and interest . All other financial instrument assets are to be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive income (‘OCI’) . For financial liabilities, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity’s own credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch) . New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management activities of the entity . New impairment requirements will use an ‘expected credit loss’ (‘ECL’) model to recognise an allowance . Impairment will be measured under a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted . The standard introduces additional new disclosures . The Consolidated Entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 and it is not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Entity’s financial performance . AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 . The standard provides a single standard for revenue recognition . The core principle of the standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services . The standard will require: contracts (either written, verbal or implied) to be identified, together with the separate performance obligations within the contract; determine the transaction price, adjusted for the time value of money excluding credit risk; allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on a basis of relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service, or estimation approach if no distinct observable prices exist; and recognition of revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied . Credit risk will be presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted to revenue . For goods, the performance obligation would be satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods . For services, the performance obligation is satisfied when the service has been provided, typically for promises to transfer services to customers . For performance obligations satisfied over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of progress to determine how much revenue should be recognised as the performance obligation is satisfied . Contracts with customers will be presented in an entity’s statement of financial position as a contract liability, a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity’s performance and the customer’s payment . Sufficient quantitative and qualitative disclosure is required to enable users to understand the contracts with customers; the significant judgements made in applying the guidance to those contracts; and any assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer . The Consolidated Entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 and it is not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Entity’s financial performance . BidEnergy Limited | ANNUAL REPORT 2018 31 AASB 16 Leases This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 . The standard replaces AASB 117 ‘Leases’ and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases . Subject to exceptions, a ‘right-of-use’ asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured at the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term . The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a ‘right-of-use’ asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred . A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs . Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs) . In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117 . However EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16 . For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component . For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases . The Consolidated Entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 and it is not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Entity’s financial performance . NOTE 3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements . Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses . Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances . The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results . The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below . Share-based payment transactions The Consolidated Entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted . The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted . The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity . Provision for impairment of receivables The provision for impairment of receivables assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement . The level of provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of receivables, historical collection rates and specific knowledge of the individual debtor’s financial position . Fair value measurement hierarchy The Consolidated Entity is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability . Considerable judgement is required to determine what is significant to fair value and therefore which category the asset or liability is placed in can be subjective . The fair value of assets and liabilities classified as level 3 is determined by the use of valuation models . These include discounted cash flow analysis or the use of observable inputs that require significant adjustments based on unobservable inputs . Estimation of useful lives of assets The Consolidated Entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets . The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event . The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down . Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets The Consolidated Entity tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 2 . The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations . These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows . 32 BidEnergy Limited | ANNUAL REPORT 2018 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 4. OPERATING SEGMENTS Identification of reportable operating segments The Consolidated Entity is organised into operating segments: based on the business activities in Australia and UK, Bid US and RealWinWin (RWW) . These operating segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’)) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources . There is no aggregation of operating segments . Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments Accounting policies adopted Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief decision maker with respect to operating segments are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent with those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Combined entity . The principal business of the group is to provide cloud based software for energy management, procurement and rebate capture in Australia, UK and USA . Due to the significance of RWW, the USA segments split into Bid US and RWW . NOTE 3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS continued Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets The Consolidated Entity assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Consolidated Entity and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment . If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined . This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in- use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions . Income tax The Consolidated Entity is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates . Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax . There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain . The Consolidated Entity recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Consolidated Entity’s current understanding of the tax law . Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made . Recovery of deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the Consolidated Entity considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses . Employee benefits provision As discussed in note 2, the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date . In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account . Business combinations As discussed in note 2, business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis . The fair value of assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed are initially estimated by the Consolidated Entity taking into consideration all available information at the reporting date . Fair value adjustments on the finalisation of the business combination accounting is retrospective, where applicable, to the period the combination occurred and may have an impact on the assets and liabilities, depreciation and amortisation reported .

The recoverable amount of these intangibles has been determined based on a value in use calculation using separate cash flow projections for the RealWinWin and BidEnergy cash generating units (CGU’s) over a five-year period respectively . Cash flow beyond the five year forecast are extrapolated using estimated terminal growth rates . Key assumptions used for value in use calculations The following key assumptions were used in the discounted cashflow model for RealWinWin goodwill and intangible asset assessment of $1,184,970: (a) 21 .6% pre-tax discount rate; (b) 9% per annum average projected revenue growth rate; (c) 5% per annum increase in operating costs and overheads; (d) Terminal growth rate of 2% at the end of the forecast period . The discount rate of 21 .6% pre-tax reflects management’s estimate of the time value of money and the consolidated entity’s weighted average cost of capital adjusted for RealWinWin, the risk-free rate and the volatility of the share price relative to market movements . Management believes the projected 9% revenue growth rate is reasonable and justified, based on known contracts and market conditions . Results of impairment testing and sensitivity to changes in assumptions. Based on the impairment testing of RealWinWin goodwill and intangible assets for 2018, there was no requirement to impair intangibles as the recoverable amounts exceed the intangible carrying amounts . The Group has considered changes in key assumptions that it believes to be reasonably possible . For the RealWinWin CGU, the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount when testing for reasonably possible changes in key assumptions and there is no reasonable possible change in a key assumption that would result in impairment . BidEnergy Limited | ANNUAL REPORT 2018 41 The following key assumptions were used in the discounted cashflow model for BidEnergy capitalised software assessment of $848,789: (a) 21 .6% pre-tax discount rate; (b) 61% per annum average projected revenue growth rate; (c) 21% per annum increase in operating costs and overheads; (d) Terminal growth rate of 2 .0% at the end of the forecast period . The discount rate of 21 .6% pre-tax reflects management’s estimate of the time value of money and the consolidated entity’s weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the BidEnergy software platform, the risk-free rate and the volatility of the share price relative to market movements . Management believes the projected 61% revenue growth rate is reasonable and justified, based on known contracts and market conditions . Results of impairment testing and sensitivity to changes in assumptions. Based on the impairment testing of BidEnergy capitalised software for 2018, there was no requirement to impair the intangible asset as the recoverable amounts exceed the intangible carrying amounts . As disclosed in note 2, the directors have made judgements and estimates in respect of impairment testing of intangibles . Should these judgements and estimates not occur the resulting intangible carrying amount may decrease . The sensitivities for the BidEnergy capitalised software is as follows: (a) Forecast revenue would need to decrease by more than 23% over the five-year forecast period before the associated capitalised software would need to be impaired, with all other assumptions remaining constant Management believes that other reasonable changes in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount of BidEnergy’s capitalised software is based would not cause the CGU’s intangible carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount .

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial risk management objectives The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk . The Consolidated Entity’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 uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed . These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, ageing analysis for credit risk and beta analysis in respect of investment portfolios to determine market risk . Derivatives are not currently used by the Group for hedging purposes . The Group does not speculate in the trading of derivative instruments . Market risk Foreign currency risk The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations, in particular United States dollars . Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency . The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting . The carrying amount of the Group’s foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities at the reporting date were as follows (holdings are shown in AUD equivalent): Consolidated US dollars GBP Assets Liabilities 2018 $ 285,840 13,428 299,268 2017 $ 284,504 11,906 296,410 2018 $ 2017 $ (53,339) (205,977) – – (53,339) (205,977) Price risk The Group is not exposed to any significant price risk . Interest rate risk The Group does not have any debt that may be affected by interest rate risk . Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group . The Group has a strict code of credit, including obtaining agency credit information, confirming references and setting appropriate credit limits . The Group obtains guarantees where appropriate to mitigate credit risk . The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements . The Group does not hold any collateral . The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the economic entity . 46 BidEnergy Limited | ANNUAL REPORT 2018 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 22. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS continued Liquidity risk Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities . The Group manages this risk by preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities and monitoring its cash assets and assets readily convertible to cash in the context of its forecast future cash flows . The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities . Remaining contractual maturities The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities . The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid .

Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed this matter Revenue Recognition Refer to Note 5 in the financial statements Revenue recognition was considered a key audit matter, as it is complex and involves significant management judgements. The Group’s revenue is primarily derived from the provision of platform subscription fees, rebate revenue and energy spend review services. Revenue determined for some of the service contracts is based on stage of completion, calculated on the proportion of total costs incurred at the reporting date compared to management’s estimation of the total costs of the contract. Capitalisation of Software Development Costs Refer to Note 13 in the financial statements At 30 June 2018, the Group’s balance sheet includes capitalised software development costs of $1.5 million, of which $0.9 million has been capitalised during the financial year. The calculation of the software development costs involves significant judgement in respect of factors such as, probability of future economic benefits and accuracy of inputs such as wage rate and overhead calculations. We identified this as a key audit matter due to the judgement in capitalising software development costs, in particular when capitalising wages and overheads. involved We have completed the following: • • • • Assessing whether the Group’s revenue recognition policies were in compliance with Australian Accounting Standards; Evaluating and testing the operating effectiveness of management’s revenue recognition; controls related to sample of For a transactions, to substantiating supporting documentation, including contracts with customers; revenue transactions by agreeing rebate For revenue substantive analytical procedures were performed to ensure revenue was complete; • Reviewing sales transactions before and after year- end to ensure that revenue was recognised in the correct period; and • Reviewing large or unusual transactions during the financial year. Our audit procedures in relation to capitalised research and development included: • • Assessing whether for capitalisation of software development costs is in accordance with the accounting standards. the group policy For a sample of projects that had been capitalised during the year; o Challenging management’s assumptions regarding capitalisation and expected future benefits; o Substantiating wage in capitalisation to payroll details of employees in the development team; and rates used o Agreeing overhead allocation of fixed costs; • Reviewing projects for any indicators of impairment; • • For a sample of projects previously capitalised, reviewing sales of products during the year to ensure no indicators of impairment; and the mathematical accuracy of Testing the amortisation of previously capitalised amounts in line with the Group Policy. 55 BidEnergy Limited | ANNUAL REPORT 2018 59 Key Audit Matters (continued.) Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed this matter Our audit procedures in relation to management’s impairment assessment involved the assistance of our Corporate Finance team where required, and included: • Assessing management’s determination that the goodwill and intangible assets should be allocated to two CGU’s based on the nature of the Group’s business and the manner in which results are monitored and reported; • Assessing the valuation methodology used; • Challenging of key assumptions, including the cash flow projections, exchange rates, discount rates, and sensitivities used; and reasonableness the • Checking the mathematical accuracy of the cash flow model, and to supporting evidence, such as approved budgets and considering the reasonableness of these budgets. input data reconciling Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets Refer to Note 13 in the financial statements The Group has net book value goodwill of $0.7 million in respect of the acquisitions of subsidiaries and $1.3 million of other intangible assets as at 30 June 2018. We identified this area as a Key Audit Matter due to the size of the balance, and because the directors’ assessment of the ‘value in use’ of the cash generating unit’s (“CGU’s”) involves significant judgements about the future underlying cash flows of the business, discount rates and terminal growth applied. For the year ended 30 June 2018 management the performed an goodwill and intangible assets balance by: impairment assessment of • • calculating the value in use for the CGU’s using a discounted cash flow model. The model used cash flows (revenues, expenses and capital expenditure) for the CGU’s for 5 years, with a terminal growth rate applied to the 5th year. The cash flows were then discounted to net present value using the Company’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC); and comparing the resulting value in use of the CGU to its respective book value. Management also performed a sensitivity analysis of the value in use calculations, by varying the WACC and other assumptions.
