CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 

Dear Fellow Shareholder, 

I am pleased to be writing to you following a year of diversification and importantly, rapid growth. 

Our company has seen year on year growth of 31% in revenue, driving a 168% uplift in underlying (non IFRS) earnings before 
interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) in the year ended 30 June 2018 (FY18). 

We have achieved this whilst behind the scenes, we integrated the newly acquired VOD business, we released new functionality 
to keep our offering fresh and current, reinvigorated our digital media presence, and initiated projects to improve internal 
efficiency such as the deployment of NetSuite’s ERP system. 

Our performance and achievements are a credit to the passion and dedication of Xavier and his team. 

Increasing our market reach 

In FY18, Swift devoted much effort to extending its market reach by developing relationships with notable resellers to give us 
global presence. This saw us cement relationships with the likes of Telstra, AST, DXC and Tripleplay, which brought customer 
wins such as the 3,000 international rooms with AST and the significant oil and gas deployment via DXC. 

Increasing our market opportunity 

We have maintained our market leading position in the mining and resources sector, but have made significant gains in 
hospitality, aged care and lifestyle, and other sectors including hospitals and government establishments. The net result is that 
from a starting point of mining and resources operators comprising some 70% of our customer base last year, non-resources 
clients now account for 36% of our expanding customer base. This is in line with diversifying our customer base as we said we 
would do in last year’s Annual Report. 

In FY19, we will embark upon a trial to include hostels and backpacker establishments with a view to capturing a share of the 2 
million plus nights spent by backpackers each year across Australia. 

Increasing our customer attractiveness 

Increasing our market share and the size of our target market goes hand in hand with our maintaining an outstanding library of 
content. Our Hollywood content, our global content partnerships and our premium channels are second to none.  

A further feather in our cap is the recently announced partnership with Future TV, a subsidiary of CCTV, China Central Television. 
This is a first in Australia, allowing us to provide high-quality content to the increasingly mobile and important Chinese outbound 
tourist market. 

Financial discipline 

It is worthwhile noting that in July 2017, the company assumed a debt facility of $3 million from Bankwest to go towards the 
funding of the VOD acquisition which took place in September 2017. 

In May 2018, the company repaid the outstanding debt ahead of schedule, leaving it entirely debt free. 
Swift finished the financial year with an underlying (non IFRS) EBITDA margin of 12%, a 168% uplift on the previous year, cash in 
hand of $3.2 million, an uplift of 43% on the previous year, and annualised contracted (recurring) revenues of $15.7 million, an 
uplift of 44% on last year.

Looking forward 

We are strongly positive about Swift as we look to the future. The initiatives undertaken, the relationships forged, and the talent 
recruited make us highly confident of and excited about Swift’s long-term prospects. 

As I said at the beginning of this statement, what we achieve is down to our exceptional colleagues, as well as a supportive 
board, our increasingly valuable partners, our encouraging customers and of course, our loyal shareholders.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW 

Review of Operations 

The Company has delivered another year of stellar operational and financial performance through the continued execution of its 
strategic growth plan articulated at the time of listing in June 2016. Through a combination of organic and inorganic growth 
initiatives Swift has continued to deliver exceptional financial and operational growth. At reporting date Swift had over 63,000 
contracted subscribers, an increase of 84% from 30 June 2017, with its system now installed in 334 sites in Australia and across 
the globe. 

Acquisition of Video On Demand (VOD) 

In September 2017, Swift completed its acquisition of digital entertainment provider VOD which boosted Swift’s footprint by 
more than 20,000 new rooms and 114 new sites, at the time of acquisition, representing 75% growth in the number of sites with 
Swift services installed. VOD had a network of multinational clients and system integrators across Swift’s target markets of 
hospitality, resources, student accommodation, hospitals and aged care. 

Technology  

In 2018 the Company continued to invest in its core product with the addition of several new technologies aimed at maintaining 
Swift’s competitive advantage and adding new and exciting product offerings to its growing customer base. Swift has developed 
smart television and hotel property management system integration capabilities, as well as Bring Your Own Device (“BYOD”) 
capabilities allowing users to access the Swift Entertainment app via Android and IOS smart phones and tablets. These new 
technology advancements have allowed Swift to offer its services to a growing number of different market verticals.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (Continued) 

Reselling agreements 

During FY 2018, Swift signed several reseller agreements with strategic partners to provide Swift with a sizeable pipeline of new 
business opportunities in several of its identified target markets both in Australia and across the globe. 

Swift signed a reseller agreement with DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC), a leading independent, end-to-end IT services company, via 
its subsidiary DXC Connect. DXC Technology is a major international provider of IT solutions with 6,000 clients in private and 
public sectors across 70 countries. Under the agreement, Swift became DXC Connect’s preferred vendor for the provision of 
digital entertainment systems, content and services to complement DXC Connect’s system integration solutions and add further 
value to their existing client base. Swift’s reselling agreement with DXC saw the Company sign its largest revenue deal since 
listing – a five-year deal to provide services to between 2,500 and 4,600 rooms annually in onshore and offshore locations 
through Australia’s Northwest.  

Swift also signed a reseller agreement with global satellite communications provider AST Australia to offer Swift’s full suite of 
services to AST clients over three years. AST Australia provides satellite services and equipment to a global base of more than 
2,000 clients in the maritime (commercial and cruise), resources, government, energy and utilities sectors. 

Swift’s reseller agreement with Telstra has also delivered several key contracts in the resources and aged care markets which are 
detailed below. 

Resources 

In 2018 Swift further enshrined its position as the dominant market leader in the provision of fully integrated digital 
entertainment solutions in the resources sector, with new client wins during the year including the following:   

OZ Minerals Ltd (ASX: OZL). OZ signed a three-year contract for Swift to provide its services at the 550-bed Carrapateena camp in 
South Australia, providing entertainment on demand and online connectivity, with movies on demand, free-to-air TV, 24x7 
support and capability for wireless internet as well as information, messaging and alerting direct to workers in-room. 

In WA, Swift won multi-year contracts to provide telecommunications services and entertainment content to new clients Pilbara 
Minerals Ltd (ASX: PLS), Talison Lithium and Altura Mining Ltd (ASX: AJM).  

At Pilbara Minerals, Swift upgraded the digital entertainment and connectivity services at its 300-room Pilgangoora Camp in 
WA’s Pilbara region. Under the contract, Swift designed, rolled out and provided a range of services to Pilbara Minerals for an 
initial period of three years. In addition to scheduled movies from Swift’s extensive content library, Swift recommissioned the 
optical network at Pilgangoora and enhanced the camp’s free-to-air TV service. Swift also provided Wi-Fi capability and internet 
user management services, all supported 24x7 across the contract term.  

Talison Lithium chose Swift to provide content and services to its new North Greenbushes camp, south of Perth in WA. 
Contracting via MSP Engineering, Swift designed, constructed and supported a world-class in-room entertainment service for the

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (Continued) 

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Through its partnership with Telstra, Swift won a contract with St Barbara to upgrade its digital entertainment and connectivity 
services at its 329-man camp in Leonora, WA. Swift and Telstra worked together to install network infrastructure to deliver 
wireless internet to each room and upgrade the existing internet link to a fibre-based solution, and following this, commenced 
provision of ongoing telecommunication services for an initial period of 36 months. Swift is also directly providing its 
entertainment and crew welfare system, including pay TV, wireless internet, free-to-air TV and 24x7 support, across the contract 
term. 

Post-year end, Swift announced contract wins with NT Link, Iluka Resources Ltd (ASX: ILU), Tronox Management Pty Ltd, 
AngloGold Ashanti (ASX: AGG) and Ausco, representing both new and returning clients in the resources sector. 

In its first contract with Iluka, and second with Tronox, Swift is completing onsite infrastructure works and deploying its market 
leading communications and digital entertainment solution to a total of 416 rooms across two camps at Cataby, WA. 

Swift won a 12-month contract extension to provide services to 662 rooms at AngloGold Ashanti’s Tropicana facility in WA. The 
contract was expanded to include 160 additional rooms. 

Ausco engaged Swift to refit a 200-room fly camp adjacent to the 500-room Amrun Village camp at Weipa, Queensland where 
Swift is already under contract. 

Aged Care and Lifestyle Villages 

Swift continues to make significant inroads into the high growth aged care market, with Swift clients currently representing 18% 
of the total residential Aged Care rooms in Australia. With this number set to grow in the coming years as Australia’s population 
continues to age, Swift has a growing pipeline of opportunities to deploy its services. These new client wins have already seen 
Swift’s revenue from the Aged Care sector grow by 62% year on year. 

In October 2017, Swift announced a three-year contract to provide its services to not-for-profit aged care and retirement living 
provider Baptcare. Swift deployed its services at The Orchards, Baptcare’s facility in Doncaster, Victoria, and is the planned 
provider for Baptcare’s three greenfield sites set for development during the contract. Swift is also Baptcare’s preferred supplier 
of digital entertainment and connectivity services as it standardises its offering across its 13 sites that comprise 1,800 rooms. 

Swift further extended its reach in the retirement lifestyle sector, signing a contract with IRT (Illawarra Retirement Trust), one of 
Australia’s largest community-owned seniors’ lifestyle and care providers. Swift is deploying its digital entertainment services to 
IRT’s new lifestyle community facilities over three years, initially to a facility with 75 apartments. It also became the preferred 
supplier of services to existing IRT Lifestyle Communities, which total more than 30 sites. IRT has more than 8,000 clients in 
lifestyle communities, care centres and receiving in-home care through NSW, Queensland and the ACT.  

Through its partnership with Telstra, Swift won a three-year contract with residential aged care provider Craigcare. Swift and 
Telstra jointly installed the Swift system at three Craigcare sites totalling 315 rooms, with the intent to deploy the solution to all 
other Craigcare sites over the next 24 months. Craigcare residents benefit from Swift’s My Family and My Community 
applications as well as a range of bespoke aged care content, movies and pay TV.  

Hospitality 

Swift services are now deployed into over 18,000 hotel rooms in Australia and abroad through its reseller partners with its 
services installed at tier one hotel groups such as the Hilton (Sydney), Westin (Perth) and across several of the QT hotels in the 
Rydges group.

Government & Defence 

Under its agreement with AST, Swift won a contract to provide its content and communication system to support 3,000 defence 
personnel located in multiple international locations. The contract has an initial term of two years with the option to extend for 
a further two years.  

Maritime 

Under an existing reseller agreement with Tripleplay, Swift won a material contract to provide Swift’s premium content services 
to approximately 1,000 rooms across 10 oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico and the Persian Gulf via a leading global satellite 
communication provider. The contract has an initial period of five years with potential for significant expansion. 

Content 

During FY 2018 Swift continued to expand its library of high quality, tailored content securing a content agreement with Future 
TV Co. Ltd, owned by CCTV.com, which was launched by China Central Television - a national media institution owned by the 
Government of the People’s Republic of China. Swift is the first company to obtain the rights to provide Chinese entertainment 
content from Future TV to the Australian market. Future TV has a library of more than 2.6 million hours of high-quality content, 
including news, sport, documentaries, kids’ entertainment, education, variety shows and exclusive series, and from 1 April 2018, 
Swift commenced curating this content for its clients in the hospitality and student accommodation sectors. This enabled Swift 
to execute on its strategy to address the needs of Chinese residents and travellers abroad.  

Share Registry 

Responsibility for the maintenance of the SW1 share register transferred to Link Market Services effective from 18 June 2018.  

Financial overview

The Company’s cash balance at 30 June 2018 was $3,201,819 with the Company recorded cash receipts of $20,803,518, a 29% 
increase year on year.  Cash receipts have now grown every quarter since listing on the ASX in June 2016. 

The record cash generation allowed the Company to fully repaid ahead of schedule its Commercial Advance Facility held with 
Bankwest from existing cash reserves. Swift had taken out this facility in July 2017 to part-fund its acquisition of Video on 
Demand. Having repaid this, Swift is debt free and well-funded to support immediate growth plans.  

In addition, Bankwest increased an existing multi-option working capital facility from $865,000 to $3,000,000. This undrawn 
facility will allow Swift to accelerate growth as opportunities arise.  

OUTLOOK 

The Company will continue to draw upon its leading technology and strategic relationships it has created with content suppliers 
and resellers to deploy its fully integrated digital entertainment solutions service across multiple sectors and geographies 
operating in an ever-growing number of closed loop environments.  

Additionally, the Company has recently signalled its intention to utilise intelligent analytics technologies to create new revenue 
streams in advertising. The Company currently has pilots underway and hopes to achieve first revenues before the end of the 
2018 calendar year.  

Based on the  Directors’ growth expectations it has been assumed that certain performance milestones attached to 
performance shares issued to the former owners of Swift Networks Pty Ltd may vest within twelve months of the date of this 
report. The associated financial liabilities, which are 100% equity settled, have been disclosed in the Company’s Consolidated 
Statement of Financial Position as a Current Liability.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS 

During the financial year, Swift Networks Group Limited paid a premium of $20,515 to insure the Directors and Officers of the 
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. 

The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against 
the officers in their capacity as officers of any entity in the Group, and any other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the 
officers in connection with such proceedings, other than where such liabilities arise out of conduct involving a wilful breach of the 
duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of their position or of information to gain an advantage for themselves or 
someone else to cause detriment to the Company. It is not possible to apportion the premium between amounts relating to the 
insurance against legal costs and those relating to other liabilities.  

NON-AUDIT SERVICES 

BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd is the Group’s auditor. During the year, BDO Tax services were performed for other services in addition to 
their statutory duties. In the future the Group may decide to employ the auditor on assignments additional to their statutory audit 
duties where the auditor’s expertise and experience with the Company is important.  

Details of the amount paid to the auditors are disclosed in Note 22 to the financial statements.

ABN 54 006 222 395 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 

1. 

Reporting entity 

Swift Networks Group Limited (the ‘Company’) is a Company domiciled in Australia and a for-profit entity for 
the  purpose  of  preparing  financial  statements.  The  consolidated  financial  statements  and  notes  represent 
those of the Swift Networks Group Limited and controlled entities (the “consolidated Group” or “Group”). 

The separate financial statements of the parent entity, Swift Networks Group Limited, have not been presented 
within this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001 

2. 

Statement of Significant accounting policies  

Basis of Preparation 

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with 
Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements 
of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. 

Australian  Accounting  Standards  set  out  accounting  policies  that  the  AASB  has  concluded  would  result  in 
financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. 
Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply 
with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB.  Material accounting policies adopted 
in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless 
otherwise stated. 

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, 
where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial 
liabilities. 

Going Concern 

As at 30 June 2018, the Group had a working capital deficiency of $7,601,957 with cash and cash equivalents 
of  $3,201,819  and  a  net  loss  of  $7,728,812  with  cash  inflows  from  operating  activities  for  the  year  of 
$2,642,659.  

The Group’s net current liability position at year end is due to financial liabilities of $9.35M relating to issue of 
performance shares as partial deferred consideration for the acquisition of the respective business which is 
expected to be converted to equity pursuant to the respective acquisition agreement. 

Therefore, the Directors are satisfied the Group is a going concern and therefore have prepared the financial 
statements on the basis the Group will continue to meet its commitments and can therefore continue normal 
business activities and realise its assets and settle liabilities in the normal course of the business. 

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on the 31st of August 2018. 

(a) Principles of Consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by 
Swift Networks Group Limited at the end of the reporting period.  A controlled entity is any entity over which 
Swift Networks Group Limited has the ability and right to govern the financial and operating policies so as to 
obtain  benefits  from  the  entity’s  activities.  Control  will  generally  exist  when  the  parent  owns,  directly  or 
indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the  voting power of an entity.  In assessing the power to 
govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also considered. 

Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those 
entities are included only for the period of the year that they were controlled.  A list of controlled entities is 
contained in Note 27 to the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 

2. 

Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(a) Principles of Consolidation (continued) 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-Group balances and transactions between entities 
in the consolidated Group have been eliminated in full on consolidation.  Accounting policies of subsidiaries 
have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity. 

Non-controlling interests, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent, 
are  reported  separately  within  the  Equity  section  of  the  Consolidated  Statement  of  Financial  Position  and 
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. The non-controlling interests in the net assets 
comprise their interests at the date of the original business combination and their share of changes in equity 
since that date. 

Subsidiaries 

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly 
or  indirectly,  to  govern  the  financial  and  operating  policies  of  an  entity  so  as  to  obtain  benefits  from  its 
activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable or convertible are taken 
into  account.  The  financial  statements  of  subsidiaries  are  included  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements 
from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. 

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at amortised cost in the Company’s financial statements. 

Transactions eliminated on consolidation 

Intra-Group balances, and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intra-Group 
transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. 

(b) Income Tax 

The income tax expense / (benefit) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred 
tax expense / (benefit). 

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 / (benefit) 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 

2. 

Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(b) Income Tax (continued) 

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. 

(c) Leases 

Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but 
not the legal ownership that is transferred to entities in the consolidated Group, are classified as finance leases.  

Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair 
value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed 
residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest 
expense for the period. 

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the 
lease term.  

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are 
charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.  

Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over 
the life of the lease term.

(d) Financial Instruments 

Recognition and Initial measurement 

Financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  recognised  when  the  entity  becomes  a  party  to  the  contractual 
provisions to the instrument.  For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Company commits 
itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).  

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is 
classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’, in which case transaction costs are  expensed to profit or loss 
immediately. 

Classification and subsequent measurement 

Finance  instruments  are  subsequently  measured  at  either  of  fair  value,  amortised  cost  using  the  effective 
interest rate method, or cost.  Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a 
liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties.  Where available, quoted prices in an active market 
are used to determine fair value.  In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. 

Amortised cost is calculated as:  

(a)  the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition; 

(b)  less principal repayments; 

(c)  plus  or  minus  the  cumulative  amortisation  of  the  difference,  if  any,  between  the  amount  initially 

recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method; and 

(d)  less any reduction for impairment. 

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period 
and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, 
transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably 
predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or 
financial liability.  Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying 
value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss. 

The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject 
to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.   

i. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 

Financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ when they are either held for trading for the 
purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as 
such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a Group of financial assets 
is  managed  by  key  management  personnel  on  a  fair  value  basis  in  accordance  with  a  documented  risk 
management  or  investment  strategy.  Such  assets  are  subsequently  measured  at  fair  value  with  changes  in 
carrying value being included in profit or loss.

(d) Financial Instruments (continued) 

Classification and subsequent measurement (continued) 

ii. Loans and receivables 

Loans and receivables are non-derivative  financial assets  with fixed or  determinable payments that are not 
quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 
12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other loans and receivables are classified as non-current 
assets.) 

iii. Available-for-sale financial assets 

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not suitable to be classified 
into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. 
They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or 
determinable payments. 

Available-for-sale financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to 
mature  within  12  months  after  the  end  of  the  reporting  period.  (All  other  financial  assets  are  classified  as 
current assets.) 

Fair value  

Fair  value  is  determined  based  on  current  bid  prices  for  all  quoted  investments.    Valuation  techniques  are 
applied  to  determine  the  fair  value  for  all  unlisted  securities,  including  recent  arm’s  length  transactions, 
reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.  

Impairment  

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial 
instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in 
the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are 
recognised  in  the  Consolidated  Statement  of  Profit  or  Loss  and  Other  Comprehensive  Income.  Also,  any 
cumulative decline in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is classified to profit or 
loss at this point. 

De-recognition 

Financial assets are de-recognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is 
transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the 
risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are de-recognised where the related obligations 
are  discharged,  cancelled  or  expired.  The  difference  between  the  carrying  value  of  the  financial  liability 
extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of 
non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(e) Impairment of Assets  

At each the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may 
be impaired.  The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information 
including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of 
pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing 
the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, 
to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed 
to the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income unless the asset is carried at 
a relevant amount in accordance with another standard (e.g. in accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 
116). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other 
standard. 

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the 
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. 

(f) Functional and presentation currency 

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional 
currency and the functional currency of the majority of the Group.  

(g) Employee Benefits 

Wages, salaries and annual leave 

Liabilities for wages and salaries and annual leave are recognised and are measured as the amount unpaid at 
the reporting date at current pay rates in respect of employees’ services up to that date. 

Superannuation 

Contributions to employee superannuation plans are charged as an expense as the contributions are paid or 
become payable. 

(h) Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for 
which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result, and that outflow can be reliably measured. 
Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of 
the reporting period. 

(i) Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on 
demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and 
cash  equivalents  for  the  purpose  of  the  statement  of  cash  flows.  Cash  held  on  reserve  to  meet  collateral 
requirements,  lease  bonds  and  for  regulatory  purposes  are  not  included  in  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  but 
classified as cash deposits not available for use by the Group.

2. 

Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(j) Trade and Other Receivables 

Trade receivables, which generally have 30-60 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount 
less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. 

An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able 
to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified. 

(k) Revenue Recognition 

Revenues are recognised at fair value of the consideration received net of the amount of goods and services 
tax  (GST)  payable  to  the  taxation  authority.  Exchanges  of  goods  or  services  of  the  same  nature  and  value 
without any cash consideration are not recognised as revenues. Revenue is recognised on an accruals basis in 
accordance with the timing in which services are rendered. 

The gross proceeds of non-current asset sales are recognised as revenue at the date control of the asset passes 
to the buyer, usually when an unconditional contract of sale is signed. 

The gain or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset at the 
time of disposal and the net proceeds on disposal (including incidental costs). 

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method. 

Management fees are recognised once all conditions have been satisfied to recognise the services provided.   

Where  uncertainty  exists  as  to  the  recoverability  of  the  management  fees  that  have  been  earned  an 
impairment  of  the  amount  due  will  be  taken  to  Consolidated  Statement  of  Profit  or  Loss  and  Other 
Comprehensive Income. 

(l) Inventories 

Inventories are measured at the lower of coast and net realisable value. The cost of manufactured products 
includes direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overheads. Overheads 
are applied on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average 
costs.  

(m) Property, Plant & Equipment 

Each  class  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  is  carried  at  cost  or  fair  value  less,  where  applicable,  any 
accumulated depreciation. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to 
ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets.  

Depreciation 

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a diminishing value basis over their useful lives to 
the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for each class 
of depreciable assets are: 

Motor Vehicles 

Software 

Office Equipment, Fit Out & Furniture 

Test Equipment & Tools 

Rental Equipment – DES

2.  Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(n) Business combinations 

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether 
equity  instruments  or  other  assets  are  acquired.  The  consideration  transferred  for  the  acquisition  of  a 
subsidiary comprises the 

 

 

 

 

 

fair values of the assets transferred 

liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business 

equity interests issued by the group 

fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, and  

fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary 

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, 
with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The group recognises 
any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or 
at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets.  

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.  

The excess of the  

 

 

 

consideration transferred, 

amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity, and 

acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity 

over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than 
the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in 
profit or loss as a bargain purchase. 

(o) Intangibles 

Goodwill 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable net assets 
at the time of acquisition of a combination. When the excess is negative (bargain purchase), it is recognised 
immediately in profit or loss.  

Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, Goodwill is tested for impairment at each reporting date or more 
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less 
accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of 
Goodwill relating to the entity sold.  

Goodwill is allocated to each of the cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. Impairment 
is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash- generating unit to which the goodwill relates 
(refer note 10). Impairment losses on goodwill cannot be reversed.  

Identifiable intangible assets 

Intangible assets acquired separately or in a business combination are initially measured at the lower of cost 
or fair value cost at the time of acquisition when it is probable that the future economic benefits arising as a 
result of the costs incurred will flow to the Group. The Group assesses identifiable intangible assets as having 
either finite or indefinite useful lives.

2.  

Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued) 

 (o) Intangibles (continued) 

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful life and assessed for impairment at least twice 
a year or whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period 
and amortisation method are reviewed at least each financial year end. Changes in the expected useful life or 
flow of economic benefits intrinsic in the asset are an accounting estimate. The amortisation charge on 
intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income.  

Customer contracts 

Customer contracts acquired as part of a business combination are recognised separately from goodwill. The 
customer contracts are carried at their fair value at the date of acquisition less accumulated amortisation and 
any impairment losses. Where customer contracts useful lives are assessed as finite, the customer contracts 
are amortised over their estimated useful lives of 1 to 2 years 

Subscriber acquisition costs 

Subscriber acquisition costs in relation to customer contracts are recognised as an asset when it is probable 
that the future economic benefits arising as a result of the costs incurred will flow to the Group. Other 
subscriber acquisition costs that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. 
Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of intangible over its estimated 
useful life (contract life) commencing when the intangible is available for use. The carrying value of an 
intangible asset arising from subscriber acquisition costs is tested for impairment when an indication of 
impairment arises during the period. 

Note: historically all expenses relating to activities undertaken to acquire new subscribers have been 
expensed as incurred, however no adjustment has been made to prior year comparatives as at the time of 
the acquisition organisational structure in place prior to the date of acquisition whereby fixed resources were 
allocated to the business as a whole, therefore the costs incurred to win new subscribers could not be easily 
separately identified nor measured reliably and accordingly no adjustment has been made in the prior year 
comparatives to recognise an Intangible for deferred subscriber acquisition costs 

Research and development costs 

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects are recognised as 
intangible assets when it is probable that the project will, after considering its commercial and technical 
feasibility, be completed and generate future economic benefits and its costs can be reliably measured. 
Expenditure capitalised comprises all directly attributable costs including costs of materials, services and 
direct labour. Other development expenditure that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense 
as incurred. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of intangible over its 
estimated useful life (1-5 years) commencing when the intangible is available for use. The carrying value of an 
intangible asset arising from development expenditure is tested for impairment when an indication of 
impairment arises during the period.

2.  Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(p) Trade and Other Payables 

Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and 
services received by the Group during the reporting period which remains unpaid.  The balance is recognised 
as a current liability with the amount being normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability. 

(q) Borrowing Costs 

Borrowing costs are recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. 

(r) Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST 
incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the 
cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement 
of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.  

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of 
investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. 

(s) Borrowings 

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently 
measured  at  amortised  cost.  Any  difference  between  the  proceeds  (net  of  transaction  costs)  and  the 
redemption amount is recognised in the profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective 
interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities, which are not incremental costs relating to 
the actual draw-down of the facility, are recognised as prepayments and amortised on a straight-line basis over 
the term of the facility. 

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement 
of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.  

(t) Fair value of assets and liabilities 

The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, 
depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard. 

Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an 
orderly (i.e. unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at 
the measurement date. 

As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used 
to determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of 
the specific asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are 
determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent 
possible, the use of observable market data.  

To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or 
liability (i.e. the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the 
absence of such a market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting 
period (i.e. the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments 
made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs).

2.  

Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(t) Fair value of assets and liabilities (continued) 

For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant's ability to 
use the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in 
its highest and best use. 

The fair value of liabilities and the entity's own equity instruments (excluding those related to share- based 
payment arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer 
of such financial instruments, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are 
held as assets. Where this information is not available. other valuation techniques are adopted and, where 
significant, are detailed in the respective note to the financial statements.  

(u) Contributed Equity 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares  or 
options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. 

(v) Earnings Per Share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated as a net profit attributable to members, 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, adjusted for: 

 

 

 

costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share 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. 

(w) Comparative Figures 

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in 
presentation for the current financial year.  

When the Group applies an accounting policy retrospectively, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies 
items  in  its  financial  statements,  a  statement  of  financial  position  as  at  the  beginning  of  the  earliest 
comparative period will be disclosed.  

 (x) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments 

The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical 
knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events 
and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

Key Estimates 

Share based payment transactions 

Employees and Directors 

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of 
the  equity  instruments  at  the  date  at  which  they  are  granted.  The  fair  value  is  determined  by  an  internal 
valuation using Black-Scholes option pricing model, Monte Carlo performance rights model and Hybrid ESO, 
taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. 

External Consultants 

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with external consultants through the issuance of 
Options which could not be valued due to the fact that they represented consideration for past and future 
services provided by the broker to the Company. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using the 
up and in share price barrier model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments 
were granted. 

Significant Judgement 

Deferred tax assets 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities have been brought to account in 2018 after considering the level of tax losses 
carried  forward  and  available  to  the  Company  against  future  taxable  profits  and  the  probability  within  the 
future that taxable profits will be available against which the benefits of the deductible temporary difference 
can be claimed. The Company believes that it is probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be available 
against which unused tax losses can be utilised. 

Goodwill – impairment testing 

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually. The Board has determined the most appropriate method for 
determining the recoverable amount of the goodwill by assessing the carrying value through a value in use 
model. Refer Note 10 for details of the assumptions used in these calculations.  

Sensitivity to possible changes in key assumptions 

Management have made judgements and estimates in respect of impairment testing of goodwill which 
management deem to be best estimates. Should the judgements and estimates not occur, the resulting 
goodwill may vary in carrying amount. The key assumptions are as follows (refer note 10 for further detail): 

-  Growth rate 

-  Discount rate 

- 

- 

Terminal value long term growth rate 

Capital spend  

No impairment has been recognised in respect of goodwill at the end of the reporting period. 

Contingent consideration 

The Directors have assessed the likelihood of reaching various performance share milestones at reporting date 
(refer  to  Note  14)  based  on  internal  budgeting  and  information  regarding  contracts  related  to  rooms  and 
revenues.

Business combinations 

As discussed in note (n), business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The fair value 
of assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed are initially estimated by the consolidated entity 
taking  into  consideration  all  available  information  at  the  reporting  date.  Fair  value  adjustments  on  the 
finalisation  of  the  business  combination  accounting  is  retrospective,  where  applicable,  to  the  period  the 
combination  occurred  and  may  have  an  impact  on  the  assets  and  liabilities,  depreciation  and  amortisation 
reported. 

(y)  Segment Information 

Operating  segments  are  reported  in  a  manner  consistent  with  the  internal  reporting  provided  to  the  chief 
operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and 
assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer. 

(z)  Government Grants 

Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the 
grant will be received and the Group satisfies all attached conditions. 

When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the 
grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate. 

When the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is credited against the asset and is released to the Statement 
of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal 
annual instalments. 

Where a grant is received in relation to the tax benefit of research and development costs, the grant shall be 
credited to income tax expense in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the year 
of receipt. 

(aa) New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet adopted 

The Group has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by 
the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. 

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not 
been early adopted.

Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(aa) New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet adopted (continued) 

AASB 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. 

 

Financial assets that are debt instruments will be classified based on (i) the objective of the entity’s 
business model for managing the financial assets; and (ii) the characteristics of the contractual cash 
flows. 

  Allows  an  irrevocable  election  on  initial  recognition  to  present  gains  and  losses  on  investments  in 
equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income (instead of in profit 
or loss). Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised 
in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument. 

 

Financial  assets  can  be  designated  and  measured  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  at  initial 
recognition if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency 
that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains and losses on them, on 
different bases. 

  Where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities the change in fair value is to be accounted 

for as follows: 

-  The change attributable to changes in credit risk are presented in other comprehensive income 

(OCI); 

-  The remaining change is presented in profit or loss.  

Otherwise, the following requirements have generally been carried forward unchanged from AASB 139 into 
AASB 9:  

-  Classification and measurement of financial liabilities; and 

-  De-recognition requirements for financial assets and liabilities. 

AASB 9 requirements regarding hedge accounting represent a substantial overhaul of hedge accounting that 
will enable entities to better reflect their risk management activities in the financial statements. 

Consequential  amendments  arising  from  AASB  9  are  contained  in  AASB  2010-7  Amendments  to  Australian 
Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010), AASB 2010-10 Further Amendments to Australian 
Accounting  Standards  –  Removal  of  Fixed  Dates  for  First-time  Adopters,  AASB  2012-6  Amendments  to 
Australian Accounting Standards – Mandatory Effective Date of AASB 9 and Transition Disclosures, AASB 2013-
9  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  –  Conceptual  Framework,  Materiality  and  Financial 
Instruments and AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards. 

From 1 July 2018, the Group will assess expected credit losses associated on a forward looking basis.   

For  trade  receivables,  the  Group  will  apply  the  simplified  approach  permitted  by  AASB  9,  which  requires 
expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. 

The introduction of AASB 9 is not expected to have a significant impact on the operations of the Group when 
implemented.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Effective 1 January 2018) 

This  standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1  January 2018. The standard 
provides  a  single  standard  for  revenue  recognition.  The  core  principle  of  the  standard  is  that  an  entity  will 
recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects 
the  consideration  to  which  the  entity  expects  to  be  entitled  in  exchange  for  those  goods  or  services.  The 
standard will require: contracts (either written, verbal or implied) to be identified, together with the separate 
performance obligations within the contract; determine the transaction price, adjusted for the time value of 
money excluding credit risk; allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on a 
basis of relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service, or estimation approach if no distinct 
observable prices exist; and recognition of revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Credit risk 
will  be  presented  separately  as  an  expense  rather  than  adjusted  to  revenue.  For  goods,  the  performance 
obligation would be satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods. For services, the performance 
obligation  is  satisfied  when  the  service  has  been  provided,  typically  for  promises  to  transfer  services  to 
customers. For performance obligations satisfied over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of 
progress  to  determine  how  much  revenue  should  be  recognised  as  the  performance  obligation  is  satisfied. 
Contracts with customers will be presented in an entity's statement of financial position as a contract liability, 
a  contract  asset,  or  a  receivable,  depending  on  the  relationship  between  the  entity's  performance  and  the 
customer's  payment.  Sufficient  quantitative  and  qualitative  disclosure  is  required  to  enable  users  to 
understand the contracts with customers; the significant judgments made in applying the guidance to those 
contracts; and any assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer.  The impact 
of this adoption is currently in the process of being assessed by the Group, however the impact has yet to be 
quantified. The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018. 

AASB 16 Leases (Effective 1 January 2019) 

This  standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1  January 2019. The standard 
replaces AASB  117  'Leases' and for lessees  will  eliminate  the classifications of operating leases and finance 
leases. Subject  to exceptions, a  'right-of-use' asset  will be capitalised in the statement  of financial position, 
measured as the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The 
exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal 
computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' 
asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the 
capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct 
costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating 
lease  expense  recognition  will  be  replaced  with  a  depreciation  charge  for  the  leased  asset  (included  in 
operating costs) and an interest  expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the 
earlier  periods  of  the  lease,  the  expenses  associated  with  the  lease  under  AASB  16  will  be  higher  when 
compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation 
and  Amortisation)  results  will  be  improved  as  the  operating  expense  is  replaced  by  interest  expense  and 
depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease 
payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing 
activities) component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts 
for leases. The impact of this adoption is currently in the process of being assessed by the Group, however the impact has 
yet to be quantified. The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 

Note 10. Intangible Assets (continued) 

In 31 August 2017 the Group acquired VOD Pty Ltd and Goodwill of $4,975,354 and identifiable Customer Contracts 
of $1,271,523, Supplier Contracts of $123,610 and Product Development of $650,000 were recognised on 
acquisition. Goodwill is recognised initially as the excess over the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the fair 
value of any non-controlling interests, and the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity 
interests, less than fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities consumed.  

Development costs consists of amounts spent developing product enhancements to the Group's "On Demand" 
digital entertainment system to allow smart television and hotel property management system integration 
capabilities, as well as Bring Your Own Device (“BYOD”) capabilities allowing user to access the Swift Entertainment 
app via Android and IOS smart phones and tablets. These new technology advancements will allow Swift to derive 
additional revenue streams from a growing number of different market verticals. Development costs are amortised 
over five years.  

Subscriber acquisition costs consists of amounts spent obtaining and retaining new contracts. Subscriber acquisition 
costs are amortised over the life of the individual contract.  

Customer Contracts consists of existing fixed term customer contracts inherited as part of acquisition. Customer 
Contracts are amortised over three years from date of acquisition.  

Other intangible assets include costs incurred in order to establish content agreements with suppliers, which the 
company will offer to customers as part of its entertainment content offering. These costs are amortised over the 
average term of the supplier content agreements.  

Assessment of carrying value

(CGU) is

For the purpose of impairment testing, intangibles are allocated to one (2017: three) consolidated cash-generating 
unit (CGU).  Due to the change in business view after the successful integration of the businesses acquired, the 
focus is now solely on consolidated profit rather than business unit profit, effective 30 June 2018, the four existing 
segments were integrated under one consolidated reporting segment. The CGU and aggregate carrying amounts 
are structured to fall in line with the Group operations and cash flows.  The VOD Pty Ltd operations became part of 
the Group from 31 August 2017, please refer to note 29 Business Combinations for further details. 

During the year ending 30 June 2018, there is no impairment of the CGU (2017: nil). The recoverable amount of 
the  CGU  is  determined  based  on  value-in-use  calculations.  Value-in-use  calculations  use  cash  flow  projections 
based on financial budgets covering a projected five-year period and then estimating a terminal value. The cash 
flow for 2019 is based on the 2019 budget adopted by the Board. The cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax 
discount rate of 13.04%.

Significant estimate: key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations 

The following table sets out the key assumptions for CGU value-in-use calculations:

Pre-tax discount rate 
Growth rate 
Terminal value long term growth rate 
Capital spend1 

Swift 
Networks 

13.04% 
2.5% 
0% 
1% 

1FY 19 spend is in line with FY 19 Budget (5% of revenue) whilst FY20 to FY23 has been estimated as 1% of revenue. 

Management has determined the values assigned to each of the above key estimates as follows: 

Assumption 

Approach used to determine values 

Growth rate 

Capital spend 

Growth  rates  have  been  determined  with  reference  to  external  sources  including 
industry  specific  forecasts,  adjusted  for  management’s  best  estimate  of  growth 
achievable in the current economic and competitive environment. 
at Expected costs to maintain assets in current condition. 

Sensitivity to change in assumptions 

The Directors and management have considered and assessed reasonably possible changes to key assumptions that 
result  in  a 
change  to  the  recoverable  amount  for  each  CGU.  With  regard  to  the  assessment,  management 
recognises that the actual time  value of money may vary from the estimated and the discount rate used. 

Estimated  reasonably  possible  changes  in  the  key  assumptions  would  have  the  following  approximate  impact  on 
impairment of the CGU as at 30 June 2018: 

Pre-tax discount rate 
Growth rate 
Terminal growth rate

Capital risk management  

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it 
can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure 
to reduce the cost of capital. 

In  order  to  maintain  or  adjust  the  capital  structure,  the  Group  may  adjust  the  amount  of  dividends  paid  to 
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell to reduce debt. 

The Group will look to raise capital when an opportunity to make investments is seen as value adding relative to the 
current parent entity’s share price at the time of the investment. 

The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. 

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 2017 Annual Financial Statement.

Note 20. Segment information 

Activities  in  the  operating  segments  are  identified  by  management  based  on  the  manner  in  which  resources  are 
allocated,  the  nature  of  the  resources  provided  and  the  identity  of  service  line  manager  and  area  of  income  and 
expenditure. Discrete financial information about each of these areas is reported to the executive management team 
on a monthly basis.  Up to 31 December 2017, Board of Directors (Board) monitored the operating results of  the 
Group distinct business segments, being Swift Pty Ltd, VOD Pty Ltd, Living Networks and Web2TV separately for the 
purposes of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Due to the change in business 
view,  with  focus  solely  on  consolidated  profit  rather  than  business  unit  profit,  the  four  existing  segments  were 
integrated  under  one  consolidated  reporting  segment,  being  the  provision  of  digital  entertainment  services  in 
Australia. This internal reporting framework is the most relevant to assist the Board with making decisions regarding 
the company and its ongoing activities.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 

Note 21. Financial risk management  

Introduction and overview 

The Group activities expose it to various types of risk that are associated with the financial instruments and markets 
in which it invests. The most important types of financial risk to which the Group is exposed are market risk, credit risk 
and liquidity risk. 

Risk management framework 

(a)  Market risk 

Market risk is analysed as market price risk, interest rate risk and currency risk. 

(i)  Market price risk 

Market price risk is the risk that changes in market prices (other than changes due to currency or interest rate 
risk) will affect the Group’s income or value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk 
management is to manage and control market risk exposures. 

As at balance date the exposure to market price risk  related to financial instruments was considered to be 
immaterial. 

(ii) 

Interest rate risk 

Interest rate risk consists of cash flow interest rate risk (the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument 
will vary due to changes in market interest rates) and fair value interest rate risk (the risk that the value of a 
financial instrument will vary due to changes in market interest rates). 

Management of interest rate risk 

Interest rate risk is the risk of financial loss and / or increased costs due to adverse movements in the values of 
the financial assets and liabilities as a result of changes in interest rates.   

Exposure to interest rate risk 

As at the reporting date the interest rate risk was considered to be immaterial. 

(iii)  Currency risk 

Currency risk is the risk that the value of assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency will fluctuate 
due to adverse movements in exchange rates. 

As at 30 June  2018, the Group has exposure to  currency risk relating to an operating lease and contractual 
commitments denominated in $US. A 10% movement in exchange rate would not have a material impact for 
the Group. 

(c) 

Credit Risk 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails 
to meet its contractual obligations.    

Management of credit risk 

Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018 

Note 21. Financial risk management (continued) 

Exposure to credit risk 

The carrying amount  of the  Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit  exposure. The Group’s 
maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

Trade and other receivables

4,527,643 

2,189,478 

7,729,462 

4,427,384 

Trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are considered to be of high credit quality. 

Credit  risk  related  to  balances  with  banks  and  other  financial  institutions  is  managed  in  accordance  with 
approved board policy. Such policy requires that surplus funds are only invested with counterparties with a 
Standard & Poor’s rating of at least A-. 

(d) 

Liquidity Risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.  

Management of liquidity risk 

The Group’s policy is to ensure that, as far as possible, it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its financial 
liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions.  

Exposure to liquidity risk 

As at reporting date the Group had sufficient cash reserves to meet its requirements. The Group has no access 
to credit standby facilities or arrangements for further funding or borrowings in place.  

The financial liabilities the Group had at reporting date were trade payables incurred in the normal course of 
the business. These were non-interest bearing and were due within the normal 30-60 days terms of creditor 
payments.  

The following table sets out the carrying amounts, by maturity, of the financial instruments including exposure 
to interest rate risk:

Note 21. Financial risk management (continued) 

The Group maintains cash flow forecasts for the next 12 months on a rolling basis. This takes into consideration all 
projected debt payments. 

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities 

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and non-interest bearing monetary financial assets and financial liabilities 
of the Group approximates their carrying amounts. 

The fair value of other monetary financial assets and financial liabilities is based upon market prices where a market 
exists or by discounting the  expected  future cash flows by the current  interest  rates  for assets and liabilities with 
similar risk profiles. Non-interest bearing related party receivables and loans are repayable on demand, thus face value 
equates to fair value. 

Equity investments traded on organised markets have been valued by reference to market prices prevailing at balance 
date. For non-traded equity investments, the fair value is an assessment by the Directors based on the underlying net 
assets, future maintainable earnings and any special circumstances pertaining to a particular investment. 

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities equates to their fair values at balance date.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of Swift Networks Group Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Swift Networks Group Limited (the Company) and its
subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30
June 2018, 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 report, 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 2018 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; 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 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.

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.

BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN
77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd and BDO Australia Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK
company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under
Professional Standards Legislation, other than for the acts or omissions of financial services licensees.

Recoverability of intangible assets

Key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Note 10 to the financial report discloses the
individual intangible assets and the
assumptions used by the Group in testing
these assets for impairment.

This was determined to be a key audit matter
as management’s assessment of the
recoverability of the intangible assets is
supported by a value in use cash flow forecast
which requires estimates and judgements
about future performance. These include
judgements and estimates over the
expectation of future revenues, anticipated
gross profit margin, growth rates expected
and the discount rate applied.

Our procedures included, but were not limited to
the following:

·

·

·

Assessing the appropriateness of the
Group’s categorisation of Cash Generating
Units (CGUs)and the allocation of assets to
the carrying value of CGUs based on our
understanding of the Group’s business and
the Group’s internal reporting;

Evaluating management’s ability to
accurately forecast cash flows by assessing
the precision of the prior year forecasts
against actual outcomes;

Challenging key inputs used in the
discounted cash flows calculations
including the following:

o In conjunction with our valuation
specialist, comparing the discount
rate utilised by management to an
independently calculated discount
rate;

o Comparing growth rates with

historical data and economic and
industry growth forecast;

o Comparing the Group’s forecast

cash flows to the board approved
budget;

o Performing sensitivity analysis on the
revenue, growth rates and gross
profit margins and discount rates;
and

·

Evaluating the adequacy of related
disclosures in the financial report.

Accounting for business combinations (Movie Source Pty Ltd and VOD Pty Ltd)

Key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

On 31 August 2017, the Group acquired 100%
of the issued share capital of Movie Source
Pty Ltd and VOD Pty Ltd. The Group had
provisionally recognised the fair value of the
assets and liabilities based on the best
available information available at the
reporting date.

The accounting for business combinations was
a key audit matter given the acquisition was
material to the Group and involved significant
judgements made by the Group, including:

(cid:127)  Determination of the amount of the
purchase consideration for the
acquisition; and

(cid:127)  Estimation of the fair value of assets and

liabilities acquired.

Our procedures included, but were not limited to
the following:

· Reviewing the acquisition agreement to

understand the key terms and conditions,
and confirming our understanding of the
transaction with management;

· Obtaining an understanding of the

transaction including an assessment of the
accounting acquirer and whether the
transaction constituted a business or an
asset acquisition;

· Comparing the assets and liabilities

recognised on acquisition against the
executed agreements and the historical
financial information of the acquired
businesses;

· Evaluating the assumptions and
methodology in management's
determination of the fair value assets and
liabilities acquired; and

· Assessing the appropriateness of the Group's
disclosures in respect of the acquisitions
(Refer Note 29).

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the
information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, 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 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 has 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 (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:

http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_files/ar2.pdf

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
