DIRECTORS REPORT 

On 27 April 2023, the Company announced that it was expanding into 6 new Asia Pacific markets through an 
exclusive licence agreement with TALON Esports. Pursuant to the agreement, TALON Esports will white label,

Future developments 

Likely future developments in the operations of the Group are referred to in the Operations Report. Other than as 
referred to in this report, further information as to likely developments in the operations of the Group and expected 
results of those operations would, in the opinion of the Directors, be speculative and prejudicial to the interests of 
the Group and its shareholders. 

Subsequent events 

On 1 September 2023, the Company announced the execution of a new  three year revenue share agreement

In the Directors’ opinion there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will be able to pay its debts as 
and when they become due and payable. 

Proceedings on behalf of the Group 

No  person  has  applied  for  leave  of  court  to  bring  proceedings  on  behalf  of  the  Group  or  intervene  in  any

Details of Remuneration for the Year Ended 30 June 2023 

Details of the remuneration for each Director and the key management personnel of the Group during the year

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Directors and senior executives of

•  The  Board  reviews  executive  packages  annually  by  reference  to  the  Group’s  performance,  executive 

performance and comparable information from industry sectors.

Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology. 

•  Remuneration of non-executive Directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities.  

The Board determines payments to the non-executive Directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based 
on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought if required. 

During the financial year ended 30 June 2023, the consolidated entity did not engage any external parties for a 
review of remuneration practices.

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.   

The recipients of options or performance rights are responsible for growing the Group and increasing shareholder 
value. If they achieve this goal the value of the options or performance rights granted to them will also increase. 
Therefore,  the  options  or  performance  provide  an  incentive  to  the  recipients  to  remain  with  the  Group  and  to 
continue to work to enhance the Group’s value. 

Options granted for the Year Ended 30 June 2023 

During the year there were no options granted, converted, expired or lapsed (2022: Nil).

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.

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.

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.

ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2023 

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.

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

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

(s) 

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.

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.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

The potential deferred tax asset of US$2,280,850 (2022: US$2,816,306), arising from tax losses 
and temporary differences  (as disclosed above), has not been recognised as an asset because 
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 

related deduction for the losses.

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.

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.

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.
