INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 
TO THE MEMBERS OF SPORTSHERO LIMITED 
 
Opinion 
 
We have audited the financial report of SportsHero Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which 
comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2024, the consolidated statement of profit 
or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated 
statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including material 
accounting policy information, the consolidated entity disclosure statement 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 2024 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 (the 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 2 in the financial report, which indicates that the Group has incurred a net loss of 
US$621,411 during the year ended 30 June 2024 and, as of that date, the Group's current liabilities exceeded 
its current assets by US$564,221. As stated in Note 2, this condition, along with other matters as set forth in 
Note 2, 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 
Expenses 
Refer to Note 4 and Note 5 in the financial statements 
With respect to continuing operations, the Group has 
recognised administration expenses of $US505,465 
and employee and consulting expenses of $US504,999 
for the year ended 30 June 2024.  
 
We considered expenses to be a key audit matter as it 
is the most significant account balance in the 
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income.  
 
  
Our audit procedures included: 
 
• 
Assessing whether administration expenses 
and employee and consulting expenses have 
been recognised in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards; 
• 
Vouching, on a sample basis, administration 
expenses and employee and consulting 
expenses transactions to supporting 
documentation to ascertain the occurrence and 
accuracy of expenses recognised; 
• 
Testing the accuracy of administration 
expenses and employee and consulting 
expenses relating to discontinued operations 
and checking that these have been correctly 
excluded from administration expenses and 
employee and consulting expenses relating to 
continuing operations in both the current and 
comparative period; 
• 
Testing on a sample basis, expense 
transactions before and after reporting date to 
supporting documentation to ascertain that 
expenses have been recognised in the correct 
financial year 
• 
Assessing the work performed by component 
auditors with respect to administration 
expenses and employee and consulting 
expenses recognised by the respective Group’s 
component entities; and 
• 
Assessing the appropriateness of 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 2024 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: 
 
a.  
the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view 
in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001; and 
 
b.  
the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001, and 
 
for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of: 
 
i.  
the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view 
and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and 
 
ii.  
the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free of 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/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf. This 
description forms part of our auditor's report.
