Group Performance, Shareholder Wealth and Director and Executive Remuneration
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders, Directors and
executives. The achievement of this aim has been through the issue of options or performance rights to Directors
and executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests.
Executive and non-executive Directors and other key management personnel may be granted options or
performance rights over ordinary shares.

SPORTSHERO LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2023
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
The financial report of SportsHero Limited and its controlled entities (the “Group” or “consolidated entity”)
for the year ended 30 June 2023 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Director’s
on 29 September 2023.
SportsHero Limited (“SportsHero” or the “Company”) is a company limited by shares, incorporated in
Australia, and whose securities are publicly traded on the Australia Securities Exchange.
The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Director’s Report.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.
The directors of the Group do not anticipate that the application of the new or amended Accounting
Standards and Interpretations in the future will have an impact on the Group’s financial statements.
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 2023.
(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, 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.
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.
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 2(z).
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 18.
The report is presented in US dollars, unless otherwise stated.
22
SPORTSHERO LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2023
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(b) Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity
of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course
of business.
As disclosed in the financial statements, the Group incurred a loss of US$2,182,894 and had net cash
outflows from operating activities of US$1,998,282 for the year ended 30 June 2023. As at that date the
Group had net current liabilities of US$488,620 and net liabilities of US$477,155, including cash balance
of US$135,461.
Since year end, the Group has continued to incur losses and requires immediate fund raisings in order to
meet current liabilities and fund working capital needs.
These factors indicate a material uncertainty as to whether the Group will continue as a going concern
and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business
and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
The Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will be able to continue
as a going concern, after consideration of the following factors:
• The ability to issue additional securities under the Corporations Act 2001 to raise further working
capital and is currently in advanced negotiations for a capital raise of approximately
AU$2.5million;
• The Directors expect to retain the continued support from shareholders and other financiers that
have supported the Company’s previous capital raisings to assist with meeting future funding
needs. Since 30 June 2023, the Group has a short term shareholder loan of AU$100,000 with
AU$53,000 received in late September 2023 and has extended the loan set out in Note 14 until
funds are available for repayment; and
• The Company has the ability to scale down its operations in order to curtail expenditure, in the
event insufficient cash is available to meet projected expenditure.
Accordingly, the Directors believe that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern and that
it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report.
The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the amounts or classification of recorded
assets or liabilities that might be necessary if the Group does not continue as a going concern.
(c)
Statement of Compliance
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting
Standards.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of
SportsHero as at 30 June 2023 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended.
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.
23
SPORTSHERO LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2023
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Associates and joint venture entities are consolidated using the equity method. The initial recognition of
the investment in the joint venture has been recognised at cost, with the carrying amount increased or
decreased to recognise SportsHero’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of
acquisition. The share of the investee’s profit or loss is recognised in the investor’s profit or loss.
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.
Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of
changes in equity of the consolidated entity. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed to
the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.
(d) 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 current when: it is expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal
operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within twelve
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 twelve months after the reporting period. All other
assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when: it is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the
purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or there is no
unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting
period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
(e)
Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief
operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker is responsible for allocating resources and
assessing performance of any operating segments.
(f)
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be
entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer,
the Group: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract;
determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the
time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis
of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises
revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the
customer of the goods or services promised.
Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer
such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any
other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the 'expected value' or 'most likely
amount' method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle
whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal
in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues
until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts
received that are subject to the constraining principle are initially recognised as deferred revenue in the
form of a separate refund liability.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Advertising revenue
Advertising revenue is recognised over the term of the advertising contract as services are rendered over
time.
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.
(g) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and short-term
deposits with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts
of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash
equivalents as defined above. The Group does not have any bank overdraft facilities.
(h)
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 allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are
generally due for settlement within 90 days. The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring
expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit
losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue. Other receivables are recognised
at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.
(i)
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of these items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the
Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the
financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful
lives. The expected useful lives are.
- Equipment – 3 years
The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if
appropriate, at each financial year end.
(j)
Joint venture
Joint ventures are entities over which the consolidated entity has joint control. Investments in joint
ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or
25
SPORTSHERO LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2023
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
losses of the joint venture is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the movements in equity is
recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in joint ventures are carried in the statement of
financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the consolidated entity's share of net assets of
the joint venture. Dividends received or receivable from joint ventures reduce the carrying amount of the
investment.
When the consolidated entity's share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the joint
venture, including any unsecured long-term receivables, the consolidated entity does not recognise
further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture.
The consolidated entity discontinues the use of the equity method upon the loss of joint control and
significant influence over the joint venture and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any
difference between the joint venture's carrying amount, fair value of the retained investment and proceeds
from disposal is recognised in profit or loss.
(k)
Impairment of assets
At each reporting date, the consolidated entity reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible
assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an
indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs
to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying
value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of comprehensive income.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the consolidated entity
estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
(l)
Investments and other financial assets
Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included
as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such
assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification.
Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the
contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless, an accounting mismatch is being
avoided.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been
transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, it's
carrying value is written off.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are
classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be
either: (i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an
intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where
permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the
consolidated entity intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them
as such upon initial recognition.
Impairment of financial assets
The consolidated entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which
are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The
26
SPORTSHERO LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2023
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the consolidated entity's assessment at the end of
each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since
initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost
or effort to obtain.
Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-
month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime
expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months.
Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased
significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of
expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of
anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.
For financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is
recognised within other comprehensive income. In all other cases, the loss allowance is recognised in
profit or loss.
(m) Trade and other payables
Trade payables and other payables are carried at the transaction price minus principal repayments. They
represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that
are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the
purchase of these goods and services.
(n) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as
a result of a past event, it is probable the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and
a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision
is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date,
taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is
material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the
provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
(o) Employee entitlements
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave
expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in current liabilities in
respect of employees' services up to the reporting date and 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 recognised in non-current liabilities, provided there is an unconditional right to defer
settlement of the liability. The liability is measured as the present value of expected future payments to
be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit
credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee
departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the
reporting date on 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.
27
SPORTSHERO LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2023
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Share-based payments
Equity-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 an appropriate 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.
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.
(p)
Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the
arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on
the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
(q)
Income tax
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and
deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated
using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting period.
Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered
from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances
during the year as well unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the
profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax
assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No
deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a
business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period
when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted
at the end of the reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management
expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the
extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred
tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and
joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the
28
SPORTSHERO LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2023
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable
future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is
intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability
will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists,
the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either
the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous
realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which
significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
Tax consolidation
SportsHero Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have not formed an income tax consolidated
group under tax consolidation legislation.
(r)
Equity based payments
The Group provides benefits to its Directors and employees in the form of share-based payments,
whereby Directors and employees render services in exchange for share, options to acquire shares or
rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).
The cost of these equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value to the Group of
the equity instruments at the date at which they were granted. The fair value of options is determined
using the Black-Scholes model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were
granted.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised as an expense, together with a corresponding
increase in equity, on a straight-line basis, over the period in which the vesting and/or service conditions
are fulfilled (the vesting period), ending on the date on which the relevant Directors and employees
become fully entitled to the options (the vesting date).
At each subsequent reporting date until vesting, the cumulative charge to the statement of comprehensive
income reflects:
a.
b.
c.
the grant date fair value of the options;
the current best estimate of the number of options that will ultimately vest, taking into account
such factors as the likelihood of employee turnover during the vesting period and the likelihood
of vesting conditions being met, based on best available information at balance date; and
the extent to which the vesting period has expired.
The charge to the statement of comprehensive income for the period is the cumulative amount as
calculated above less the amounts already charged in previous periods. There is a corresponding entry
to equity.
If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the
terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the
total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as
measured at the date of modification.
If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any
expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is
substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted,
the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described
in the previous paragraph.
The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation
of diluted earnings per share.

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.
(t)
Dividends
Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the
Group.
(u) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to
exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by
the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:
-
-
-
costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);
the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares
that have been recognised as expenses; and
other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result
from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
(v) Goods and services tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
-
-
where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the
taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the
asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of
receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash
flows arising from investing and financial activities, which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation
authority, are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable
to, the taxation authority.
(w) Foreign currency transactions and balances
The financial statements are presented in US dollars, which is SportsHero's functional and presentation
currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into US 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.
30
SPORTSHERO LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2023
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into US dollars using the exchange rates
at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into US dollars
using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rate at the date of the transaction, 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.
(x) Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of
transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method.
The component of the convertible notes that exhibits characteristics of a liability is recognised as a
liability in the statement of financial position, net of transaction costs.
On the issue of the convertible notes the fair value of the liability component is determined using a
market rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond and this amount is carried as a current liability until
extinguished on conversion or redemption as the maturity date is within 12 months. The corresponding
interest on convertible notes is expensed to profit or loss.
(y) Right to use assets
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is
measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable,
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received,
any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of
costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site
or asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the
estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to
obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated
useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease
liabilities.
The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability
for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments
on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.
Lease liabilities
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially
recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted
using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated
entity's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease
incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to
be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the
option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease
payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
31
SPORTSHERO LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2023
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying
amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a
change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and
termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding
right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.
(z) Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management take 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 and suppliers 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. Probabilities have been assigned to non-market
vesting conditions for the performance rights issued. 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.

recovery of tax losses and temporary differences is not considered probable given the development
stage of the Company’s apps.
The potential deferred tax asset will only be obtained if:
•
•
the Group derives future assessable income of a nature and an amount sufficient to enable
the benefit to be realised;
the Group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation;
and
• no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the benefit from the

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
23. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits.
The main purpose of these financial instruments is to finance the Group’s operations. The Group has
various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise
directly from its operations. It is, and has been throughout the entire year under review, the Group’s policy
that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are cash flow interest rate risk and equity
price risk. Other minor risks are either summarised below or disclosed at note 9 in the case of credit risk
and note 15 in the case of capital risk management. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing
each of these risks.
Cash Flow Interest Rate Risk
The Group’s exposure to the risks of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s
short-term deposits with a floating interest rate. These financial assets with variable rates expose the
Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The Group’s borrowings which are fixed rate convertible notes
expose the Group to fair value risk. All other financial assets and liabilities in the form of receivables and
payables are non-interest bearing. The Group does not engage in any hedging or derivative transactions
to manage interest rate risk.
The following tables set out the carrying amount by maturity of the Group’s exposure to interest rate risk
and the effective weighted average interest rate for each class of these financial instruments.
The Group has not entered into any hedging activities to cover interest rate risk. In regard to its interest
rate risk, the Group does not have a formal policy in place to mitigate such risks.

At 30 June 2023, if interest rates had changed by 15% during the entire year with all other variables held
constant, income for the year and equity would have been nil lower/higher (30 June 2022: Nil), as a result
of lower/higher interest income from cash and cash equivalents.
At 30 June 2023, if interest rates had changed by 15% during the entire year with all other variables held
constant, income for the year and equity would have been nil lower/higher (30 June 2022: Nil), as a result
of lower/higher interest income from borrowings.
A sensitivity of 15% (15%: 2022) has been selected as this is considered reasonable given the current
level of both short term and long term Australian interest rates. A 15% sensitivity would move short term
interest rates at 30 June 2022 from around 0.25% to 0.287% representing a 0.0375 basis point increase.
Market expectations are that interest rates in Australia are more likely to move up than down in
subsequent periods.
Based on the sensitivity analysis only interest revenue from variable rate deposits and cash balances are
impacted resulting in a decrease or increase in overall income.
Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash reserves and marketable securities, and
through the continuous monitoring of budgeted and actual cash flows.

The Group has cash and cash equivalents denominated in AU$ of US$69,112 (2022: US$1,719,194). At
30 June 2023, if USD/AUD rates had changed by 15% with all other variables held constant, loss for the

SPORTSHERO LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
year and equity would have been US$10,367 lower/higher (30 June 2022: US$257,879), as a result of
with change in fair value of cash and cash equivalents.
A sensitivity of 15% (15%: 2022) has been selected as this is considered reasonable given the current
level of volatility in the USD/AUD rate.
Net fair values
For financial assets and liabilities, the net fair value approximates their carrying value. No financial assets
and financial liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form, other than listed
investments. The consolidated entity has no financial assets where carrying amount exceeds net fair
values at balance date.
24. Segment Information
For management purposes the Group is organised into four strategic units:
- corporate head office in Australia
- technology development and marketing based in Singapore and China; and
- operations in Indonesia
Such structural organisation is determined by the nature of risks and returns associated with each business
segment and define the management structure as well as the internal reporting system. It represents the
basis on which the Group reports its primary segment information to the Board.
The operating segment analysis presented in these financial statements reflects operations analysis by
business. It best describes the way the Group is managed and provides a meaningful insight into the
business activities of the Group.
The following table presents details of revenue and operating loss by business segment as well as
reconciliation between the information disclosed for reportable segments and the aggregated information
in the financial statements. The information disclosed in the table below is derived directly from the internal
financial reporting system used by the Board of Directors to monitor and evaluate the performance of our
operating segments separately.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF SPORTSHERO LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of SportsHero Ltd (Company) and its subsidiaries (Group), which comprises
the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of
changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements,
including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001,
including:
(i)
Giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2023 and of its financial
performance for the year then ended; and
(ii)
Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial report section of our
report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the
Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report
in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to
the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's
report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates that the Group has incurred a net loss of
US$2,182,894 during the year ended 30 June 2023 and, as of that date, the Group's current liabilities exceeded
its current assets by US$488,620. As stated in Note 1, this condition, along with other matters as set forth in Note
1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as
a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of
the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial
report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have
determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed this matter
Share-based payments
Refer to Note 20 in the financial statements
In accordance with AASB 2 Share-based Payment, the
Group recognised share based payment expenses
from the issue of 28,000,000 options as consideration
for services rendered, and the recognition of non-market
performance rights issued in prior periods.
We determined this to be a key audit matter due to the
material amount of the share-based payment and the
significant judgement involved in assessing the fair
value of the transactions in accordance with AASB 2
Share-based Payment.
Our audit procedures included:
• Assessing the Group’s accounting policy for
Accounting
Australian
compliance with
Standards;
• Reading the key terms and conditions of the
options issued;
• Obtaining the valuation models prepared by
management and assessing whether the models
were appropriate for valuing the options;
• Assessing management’s determination of the
the non-market
the
probability of achieving
performance conditions attached
to
performance rights issued in prior periods;
• Assessing the mathematical accuracy of the
computation and the apportioned expense over
the vesting period;
• Challenging
the
reasonableness of key
assumptions used by management to value the
options; and
• Assessing
the relevant disclosures
in
the
financial statements.
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included
in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2023 but does not include the financial report and the
auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair
view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal
control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true
and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and
Assurance Standards Board website at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. This
description forms part of our auditor's report.
Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included within the directors' report for the year ended 30 June 2023.
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of SportsHero Limited, for the year ended 30 June 2023, complies with
section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report
in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
