REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS  

Operational review  

Mining and Resources 

Swift’s new premium entertainment and engagement platform, Swift Access  with Swift’s secure casting, launched 18 
months  ago,  has  proven  to  address  the  needs  of  individuals  living  within  managed  communities  and  the  companies 
responsible for the community's overall well-being. Demand for Swift Access has been strong and has already achieved 
8,000 subscribers in the 18 months following release.  

Mining and Resource clients that have upgraded or been introduced to Swift Access include Roy Hill, Inpex, Oz Minerals 
(recently acquired by BHP) and across 12 sites for Mineral Resources. Each of these customers has minimum three-year 
subscription contract terms. 

Swift  recently  completed  its  largest  rollout  of  Swift  Access  to  date  with  2,700  rooms  at  Roy  Hill’s  MPV  site.  This  has 
allowed  Swift’s  operational  team  to  streamline  the  installation  process  of  this  new  product  to  enable  more  efficient 
rollouts to future customers.  

FY23  has  seen  the  continued  investment  to  the  Swift  Access  and  Swift  Broadcast  products.  Consultation  with  our 
customers  has  seen  advances  in  the  product  interface  and  functionality  to  ensure  the  highest  level  of  user  and 
management engagement. This consultation has also led to the development of Swift’s product roadmap for FY24 and 
beyond, ensuring that Swift Access addresses the needs of both customers and users of the system well into the future. 

The Mining and Resources sector continues to see growth in new site construction and upgrading of legacy sites. With a 
focus on customer support and satisfaction with the best product in market, Swift is well placed to win future work with 
existing and new customers alike.  

Retention of key staff remains a critical issue within the sector. The Swift Access platform provides users at these remote 
sites with the best engagement and entertainment solution in market and helps users feel connected to home, their work 
site and to their employer, assisting customers with the retention of their staff.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Operational review (continued) 

Aged Care 

Swift has recently announced a new partnership with Checked In Care (CIC), an award-winning care experience App which 
has access to over 25,000 rooms with major providers such as Bupa Aged Care, IRT and Australian Unity. Swift’s strategy 
is to grow its market share and the partnership with CIC, which is focused on integrating both Swift and CIC products to 
enhance customer experiences, simplify operations and improve profitability for Aged Care providers. The partnership 
will  leverage  Swift’s  existing  products  including,  the  My  Family,  My  Community  App,  to  streamline  all  provider  and 
resident  information  and  notices  across  the  TV  and  other  app  supported  devices.  This  partnership  aims  for  Swift  to 
become a need-to-have product in the market for all providers whether they are a large national provider through to 
single site providers. 

Swift  has  welcomed  multiple  new  Aged  Care  providers  during  FY23  including  Barunga  Village,  Goondee  Aged  Care, 
Eldercare and Bethanie. Swift has also deployed to 13 sites under its partnership agreement with Hubify during the year. 

The  Aged  Care  sector  has  seen  the  introduction  of  regulatory  requirements  such  as  well-being  quality  indicators, 
compliance monitoring and customer ratings for resident experience. Swift is well placed to assist providers in meeting a 
number  of  these  regulatory  requirements  and  is  investing  in  the  product  and  our  partnership  with  CIC  to  become  a 
product  that  is  a  must  have  for  providers  in  the  industry  through  increasing  efficiency  and  streamlining  reporting 
requirements. 

Financial Review  

In FY23 the group achieved operating revenue of $19.1m (FY22: $18.5m), a 3% increase year on year, as it focussed on 
its core verticals of Mining and Resources, Aged Care and Government. During FY23 Swift secured a further $2.5m in 
project installation revenue to be delivered and recognised in FY24. During the period Swift increased its subscription 
revenue to $14.0m (FY22: $13.5m) which represents 73% of revenue in FY23. Subscription revenue only commences once 
project installation has been finalised and will therefore increase over time once all projects have been completed with 
revenue recognised for the full financial year. 

Swift commenced repaying its debt facility during the period with a first repayment of $0.5m being made towards the 
Pure loan, reducing the balance to $7.7m. The opportunity to pay back legacy COVID PAYG debt was also completed 
during the period. Swift focussed on working capital throughout the year and the cash balance remained stable from 
$1.6m at the end of Q1, to a closing balance of $2.1m at 30 June 2023. 

Swift announced the extension of its loan facility with Pure Asset Management Pty Ltd during the period. The loan period 
has been extended to 30 September 2025 with covenants aligned to a discounted rate to the business’ forecast. Swift 
has met all covenant financial obligations during the period.  

Swift’s Financial Asset of 19.4 million shares in Motio (ASX:MXO) were removed from escrow in October 2022. 0.57m 
shares were sold on market during the period and the directors continue to explore avenues of realising this asset within 
the next 12 months. 

Underpinned by the efforts mentioned above, in 2023, the group recorded an Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation 
Amortisation  (“EBITDA”)  of  $1.1m  (FY22:  $1.4m).  A  reconciliation  of  EBITDA  to  NPAT  has  been  outlined  in  the 
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss with reference to Notes 2 and 3.

experienced Directors and executives.   

The  compensation  structures  explained  below  are  designed  to  attract  suitably  qualified  candidates,  reward  the

considers individual, business unit and overall performance of the Group.   

Variable compensation 

Variable compensation rewards are based upon achievement of targets aligned to the Company’s business plans and 
longer-term strategy. Variable components (short and long term) are driven by challenging targets focused on external 
and internal measures of financial and non- financial performance to align with Company success.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS 

During the reporting period, the Company paid a premium 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 Corporate Tax provided 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.  

The total amount paid to the auditors were $33k (FY22: $26k). Details of the amount paid to the auditors are disclosed 
in note 22 to the financial statements.

1. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 30-60-day terms. The Company has utilised $113k 
provision for loss allowance to offset Pindan Contracting Pty Ltd’s receivable balance as a result of Pindan’s liquidation. 
The Company has assessed the receivables and did not expect any other credit loss. Due to short term nature of the 
current receivables, their carrying amount is considered to be the same as their fair value.  

At 30 June 2023, a total of $487k was past due of which $160k has been received. The remaining overdue balance is 
$327k (FY2022: $334k).  These relate to a number of independent customers for whom there is no recent history of 
default. Swift is confident that these receivables are collectable and are active in the management and reduction of 
these overdue amounts. 

2. The restricted cash of $239k secured for issuance of bank guarantees is included in other receivables. 

Refer to Note 21 Financial Risk Management for risk exposure analysis for Trade and other receivables.

1.  Current trade payables are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. The carrying amounts 

are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature. 

2.  a)  Provisions  for  financial  liabilities  of  $1.4m  included  in  other  payables  and  accruals  include  payroll  tax, 
provisional costs and potential penalties for contraventions of the Competition and Consumer Act in relation to 
Federal Court proceedings commenced on 17 February 2023 for historical project bids in 2019. The parties have 
filed a statement of agreed facts and admissions, joint submissions and proposed orders in relation to relief with 
the Federal Court with a hearing date in September 2023. 

Present  value  calculations  have  been  performed  on  these  provisional  costs  on  the  basis  of  an  implied  12% 
discount rate as determined by the Directors to reflect the costs fair value as 30 June 2023. This rate reflects the 
market rate of interest for similar facilities.  

b)  Other non-current payables and accruals include $0.8m in relation to the portion of discounted provisional 
costs as referred in 2a), based on management expectation of payment dates and  $0.2m deferred income 
arising from R&D claims to be released in future periods.

Pure loan was classified as current borrowings as at 30 June 2022 and subsequently reclassified as non-current 
borrowings. 

The  Company  and  Pure  Asset  Management  have  amended  the  loan  facility  in  August  2022.  As  part  of  the 
Amendment, the Company has repaid $0.5m to reduce the loan principal to $7.7m and extended the maturity 
to 30 September 2025. The interest rate remains at 9.5 per cent, interest payable every three months. 

Transaction costs are costs that are directly attributable to the loan and include loan originating fees, legal fees 
and  the  aggregated  valuation  of  110.7m  warrants.  In  this  reporting  period,  60m  warrants  were  issued  and 
valued at $542k by using the Black-Scholes option pricing. The transaction costs also included $70k amended 
facility work fees. Total capitalised transaction costs relating to the facility agreement and amendments are 
$2.5m. The balance of unamortised transaction costs of $1.3m is offset against the borrowing of $7.7m.The 
security of the facility is a first-ranking general security over all assets of the Group and its subsidiaries. 

A total of 110.7m detached warrants have been issued to Pure Asset Management and valued by using Black-
Scholes option pricing model (refer to note 16) 

The facility is subject to quarterly EBITDA and cash covenant of minimum cash balance of $1m. The Company 
has complied with all the loan covenants during the reporting period and a Waiver and Amendment letter was 
obtained for covenants up until 1 July 2024.

Note 16. Issued capital (continued) 

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 subject to certain financial arrangement covenants and meeting these is given priority in all capital risk 
management decisions. 

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 2022 Annual Financial Statement.

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 

Market risk 

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

SWIFT NETWORKS GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 

Note 21. Financial risk management (continued) 

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. 

The Motio share price fluctuations would affect the holding value of the listed shares.  The loss on the valuation of 
Motio shares have been accounted for in this reporting period. Therefore, as at balance date the exposure to market 
price risk related to financial instruments was considered to be immaterial. 

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 because the group borrowings were 
fixed rate instruments. 

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 2023, the Group has no 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. 

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 

The group limits its exposure to credit risk from trade receivables through regular review. At the reporting date there 
were no significant concentrations of credit risk. 

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:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 21. Financial risk management (continued) 

The Group makes use of a simplified approach, under AASB 9, in accounting for short term trade and other receivables 
as well as contract assets and records the loss allowance at the amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. 
In  using  this  practical  expedient,  the  Group  uses  its  historical  experience,  external  indicators  and  forward-looking 
information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix.  

The Group has used a general approach, under AASB 9, in accounting for long term trade receivables. Loss allowance 
for lifetime expected credit losses is recorded, if there is a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition of 
the financial asset. At 30 June 2023, the Group has assessed that the long term debts are recoverable in full amount.

For the loss provision, the management has segmented receivables into “Retention monies” and “Capex and monthly 
enterprise  sales”.  As  a  result  of  assessment,  the  Company  has  utilised  $113k  loss  allowance  in  relation  to  Pindan 
retention monies.  

The management also assessed the history of other debtors and concluded that there is little to nil likelihood of default 
and as such has not provided additional loss allowance in this reporting period.  

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-. 

Liquidity Risk 

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

Exposure to liquidity risk 

As at reporting date the Group had sufficient cash reserves and access to facilities or arrangements for further funding 
or borrowings in place to meet its requirements (refer to note 28 Going concern for further details).  

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 Group also has borrowings (refer to note 13) and lease liabilities (refer to note 14).

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.  

Equity investments traded on organised markets have been valued by reference to market prices prevailing at balance 
date.  

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

The following tables detail the consolidated entity’s assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a 
three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being:  

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the 
measurement date. 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either 
directly or indirectly. 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset and liability

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 

Note 28. 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 

The annual report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business 
activity and the realisation of assets after tax for the year ended 30 June 2023 of a loss of $4.0m (2022: loss of $3.7m) 
and net cash inflows from operating activities of $0.4m (2022: cash inflow of $1m). 

These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue 
as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal 
course of business. 

The Board and Management believe there are sufficient funds to meet the Group’s working capital requirements as 
at the date of the financial statements. 

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Group is a going concern which contemplates the 
continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business 
for the following reasons: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

The Directors have assessed the cash flow requirements for the 12 month period from the date of approval 
of the financial statements and its impact on the Group and believe there will be sufficient funds to meet the 
Group’s working capital requirement. 
The Group entered into an amended facility agreement with Pure Asset Management Pty Ltd in August 2022 
extending the term until 30 September 2025. New covenants have been aligned as a discount to the Group’s 
forecasts. All covenant testing points were met in FY23 and the Directors also expect to comply with all future 
covenant requirements. 
The Group received a Waiver and Amendment letter from Pure Asset Management Pty Ltd regarding the 
contraventions  of  the  Competition  and  Consumer  Act  in  Federal  Court  proceedings  commenced  on  17 
February 2023 in relation to historical project bids in 2019. This waiver is contingent upon the Federal Court 
decision being in line with the statement of agreed facts and admissions, joint submissions and proposed 
orders that have been submitted to court by both parties in the matter. The Group has provided for potential 
penalties and associated legal costs in FY23. Please see Note 11. 
The  Directors  of  the  Group  have  reason  to  believe  that  in  addition  to  the  cash  flow  currently  available, 
additional funds from receipts are expected through commercialisation of the Group’s products and services. 
The Group currently has $2.5m in forward booked project revenue on top of its recurring revenue receipts. 
$0.62m financial asset in listed entity MXO has been removed from escrow and the Group will explore its 
options to realise this asset within the next 12 months. 

•  Based on prior years, the Directors of the Group have reason to believe that the Group is eligible for the R&D 

Tax Incentive, which will provide additional cash flow to the business in the next 12 months.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 

Note 28. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Whilst the Directors are confident in the outlook of the Group, the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern 
is dependent upon executing the strategy that has been put in place. As a result of these matters, there is a material 
uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Group’s ability as a going concern and whether the Group will 
realise its assets and settle it liabilities in the ordinary course of business at the amounts recorded in the financial 
statements. 

The Directors have assessed the likely cash flow for the 12 months period from the date of signing this annual report 
and  its  impact  on  the  Group  and  believe  there  will  be  sufficient  funds  to  meet  the  Group’s  working  capital 
requirements  as  at  the  date  of  this  report,  based  on  the belief  that  additional  funds  can  be  raised  to  finance  the 
Group’s activity. 

The Group has historically demonstrated its ability to raise funds to satisfy its immediate cash requirements and will 
consider all funding options as required, for future capital requirements. The Directors of the Group have reason to 
believe  that  in  addition  to  the  cash  flow  currently  available,  additional  funds  from  receipts  are  expected  through 
commercialisation of the Group’s products and services. Should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern, 
it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at 
amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements and that the financial report does not include any 
adjustments  relating  to  the  recoverability  and  classification  of  recorded  asset  amounts  or  liabilities  that  might  be 
necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern. 

Noting all of the above, and in conjunction with the Group’s historical ability to raise funds to satisfy its immediate 
cash requirements 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. 

(a) Principles of Consolidation 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the  assets,  liabilities  and  results  of  entities  controlled  by  the 
Company at the end of the reporting period.  A controlled entity is any entity over which the Company 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 
25 to the financial statements. 

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. 

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.

Note 28. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued) 

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. 

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.

Note 28. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(c) Financial Instruments 

Accounting Policy 

Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of 
the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently 
measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based 
on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the 
financial asset unless an accounting mismatch is being avoided. 

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the 
consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable 
expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, it's carrying value is written off. 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 
Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as 
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, 
where  they  are  acquired  for  the  purpose  of  selling  in  the  short-term  with  an  intention  of  making  a  profit,  or  a 
derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised 
in profit or loss. 

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income 
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the consolidated 
entity  intends  to  hold  for  the  foreseeable  future  and  has  irrevocably  elected  to  classify  them  as  such  upon  initial 
recognition. 

Impairment of financial assets 
The consolidated entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either 
measured  at  amortised  cost  or  fair  value  through  other  comprehensive  income.  The  measurement  of  the  loss 
allowance depends upon the consolidated entity's assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the 
financial  instrument's  credit  risk  has  increased  significantly  since  initial  recognition,  based  on  reasonable  and 
supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain. 

Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected 
credit  loss  allowance  is  estimated.  This  represents  a  portion  of  the  asset's  lifetime  expected  credit  losses  that  is 
attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit 
impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's 
lifetime  expected  credit  losses.  The  amount  of  expected  credit  loss  recognised  is  measured  on  the  basis  of  the 
probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the 
original effective interest rate. 

For financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is 
recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding expense through profit or loss. In all other cases, 
the loss allowance reduces the asset's carrying value with a corresponding expense through profit or loss. 

(d) Financing elements 

The Group from time to time enter into contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods to 
the customer exceeds one year. Should the transactions price include the effect of time value of money as the timing 
of payment provides the customer with a significant financing benefit, the financing element will be recognised as 
finance income over time.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 

Note 28. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(e) Impairment of Assets 

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses the internal and external indicators that an asset may be 
impaired. If such an indicator 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 statement. 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 which the asset belongs. 

Impairment testing is performed annually for 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) Share based payments 

The Group measures the cost of equity settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at 
the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using Black Scholes valuation model after taking 
into  account  the  terms  and  conditions  upon  which  the  instruments  were  granted.  The  accounting  estimates  and 
assumptions relating to equity settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of the 
assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity. 

The fair value of options at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes that takes into account the exercise price, 
term of option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying 
share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.  

Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become 
exercisable.  At  each  reporting  date,  the  entity  revises  its estimate  of  the  number  of  options  that  are  expected  to 
become  exercisable.  The  employee  benefit  expense  recognised  each  period  takes  into  account  the  most  recent 
estimate. 

Upon exercise of the options, the balance of the share-based payments reserve relating to those options is transferred 
to share capital and the proceeds received are credited to share capital. 

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 with the recognition of the expense accounted for over the vesting 
period. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using Black-Scholes option pricing model considering the 
terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. 

The key inputs to the Black-Scholes options pricing model include the expected price volatility and risk-free interest 
rate. The expected price volatility is based on the historical volatility adjusted for any expected  changes to future 
volatility due to publicly available information. The risk interest is the risk-free of securities with comparable terms to 
maturity.

Note 28. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued) 

 (h) Employee Benefits 

Wages, salaries and leave entitlements 

Liabilities  for  wages,  salaries  and  leave  entitlements  are  recognised  and  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. 

(i) 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. 

(j) Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances only.   

(k) Trade and Other Receivables 

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement 
within 30-60-days. 

The consolidated entity has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime 
expected loss allowance. For long term trade receivables, the expected credit loss is based on either the 12 month or 
lifetime expected credit loss. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on 
days overdue. Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit loss. 

 (l) Inventories 

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost 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 straight-line 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 
• 
•  Rental Equipment – Digital Entertainment System

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 

Note 28. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(n) Intangibles 

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 reporting period 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 amortization 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. At the reporting date, the customer contracts have been fully amortised. 

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 expenditures 
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. 

(o) Contract Assets 

Subscriber acquisition costs directly attributable to obtaining customer contracts, generating or enhancing resources 
and are expected to be on-charged to the customer, 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.  

 (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) Financing Costs 

Finance costs attribute to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in 
the profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 

Note 28. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(r) Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

Revenue, 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 non-current liabilities at the reporting date.  

(t) Contract Liabilities 

Contract  Liabilities  represent  the  fair  value  of  consideration  received  from  its  customer  in  advance  of  the  Group 
meeting its performance obligations to deliver goods or services. 

(u) 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).  

For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also considers 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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 

Note 28. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(v) Current and non-current classification 

Both assets and liabilities are classified as current if the Group expects to realise them within 12 months. 

(w) 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. 

(x) 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. 

(y) Comparative Figures 

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

(z) Leases 

The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets are measured 
at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of right-of-use asses includes the amount 
of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payment made on or before the commencement 
date less any lease incentives received. 

Right-of-assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. 

At the commencement date of lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease 
payments  to  be  made  over  the  lease  term.  The  lease  payments  include  fixed  payments  less  any  lease  incentives 
receivable. 

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease 
commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.  Such a rate is based 
on what the Company estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset 
of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment. 

The lease transaction details are disclosed in note 14.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 

Note 28. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(aa) Revenue 

The Company recognises revenue when it transfers control of a product or service to a customer and the cost incurred 
or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.  

The Company’s revenue consists of sale of equipment and providing digital content and services.  

•  Revenue from sale of equipment is recognised at a point in time when the goods have been provided and 

the amount can be reliably estimated and is considered recoverable.  

•  Revenue from digital content is recognised over time as the customer is provided with the service. 
•  Revenue from licencing is recognised at a point in time on the transfer of the licence to the user. 

(ab)  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. 

Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match 
them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. 

 (ac) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments 

Revenue from contracts with customer 

The Group applied the following judgements that significantly affect the determination of the amount and timing of 
revenue from contracts with customers: 

Identifying performance obligations 

The Group provides software licences and equipment which are either sold separately or bundled together with the 
provision  of  ongoing  content.  The  Group  determined  that  the  licence  and  equipment  are  distinct  performance 
obligations to the provision of content as other content can be used on the Company’s software and equipment and 
there is no significant service of integration or interdependency. The fact that the Company regularly sells both the 
licence and/or equipment and the content on a standalone basis indicates that the customer can benefit from both 
products on their own.   

Revenue  in  relation  to  sale  of  equipment  is  recognised  at  a  point  in  time,  whilst  revenue  in  relation  to  providing 
services and content is recognised over time. 

Allocating the transaction price 

Where contracts include multiple deliverables that are separate performance obligations, judgement is required in 
determining the allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the stand-alone selling 
prices. Where these are not directly observable, they are estimated based on expected cost-plus margin.  

Consideration of significant financing component in a contract  

Certain  contracts  allow  for  deferred  payment  terms.  The  Group  concluded  that  there  is  a  significant  financing 
component for these contracts in accordance with AASB 15. In determining the financing component to be applied to 
the amount of consideration, the Group has made judgements with respect to the interest rate used in this calculation 
and concluded that the interest rate implicit in the contract is appropriate because this is commensurate with the rate 
that would be reflected in a separate financing transaction between the entity and its customer at contract inception.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023 

Note 28. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Assessing the reversal constraint 

Certain contracts with deferred payments terms have a risk of payment forfeiture if the contract is terminated. The 
Directors have determined that it is highly improbable that these contracts would be terminated, or that the parties 
to these contracts would become insolvent, and accordingly have rebutted this possibility in recognising revenue. 

Fair value measurement hierarchy 

The consolidated entity is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using 
a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, 
being: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access 
at the measurement date; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for 
the  asset  or  liability,  either  directly  or  indirectly;  and  Level  3:  Unobservable  inputs  for  the  asset  or  liability. 
Considerable judgement is required to determine what is significant to fair value and therefore which category the 
asset or liability is placed in can be subjective. 

Share based payment transactions 

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 external valuation using a Black-
Scholes performance rights model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were 
granted. Refer to note 19 on Share based expenses for the reporting period. 

 Impairment of intangible assets 

The consolidated Group assesses impairment intangible assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific 
to the consolidated entity and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the 
recoverable  amount  of  the  asset  is  determined.  This  involves  fair  value  less  costs  of  disposal  or  value-in-use 
calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions. 

Capitalised product development costs 

Product development costs have been capitalised as intangible assets in accordance with the accounting policy as 
detailed  in  note  28(o).  Management  has  assessed  that  all  capitalised  development  expenditure  carried  forward, 
comprises all directly attributable costs, including costs of materials, services and direct labour. 

Estimation of useful lives of assets 

The Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, 
plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical 
innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are 
less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold 
will be written off or written down.

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 2023, 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 2023 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 (including Independence Standards) (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 28 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions 
which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the 
group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its 
assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in 
respect of this matter.  

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. 

 
 
 
 
 
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. 

Revenue Recognition 

Key audit matter  

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

Revenue recognition was determined to be a key audit 

Our procedures included, but were not limited to the 

matter as this area involves judgements and estimates 

following: 

made by management including whether contracts may 

contain multiple performance obligations which should 

be accounted for separately and determining the most 

appropriate methods of recognition of revenue for the 

identified performance obligations.  

This comprises allocation of consideration to the 

individual performance obligations based on standalone 

pricing and whether the performance obligation is 

satisfied at a point in time or overtime. 

• 

Understanding and documenting the 

processes and controls used by the group in 

recording revenue;  

• 

Selecting a sample of contracts, considering 

the terms and conditions, performance 

obligations of these arrangements, their 

stand-alone pricing and assessing the 

accounting treatment under AASB 15 

Revenue from Contracts with Customers 

Refer to Note 2 and Note 28 in the financial report for 

(‘AASB 15’); 

disclosures relating to the Group’s revenue accounting 

policy and judgements applied in revenue recognition. 

• 

Checking a sample of revenue transactions to 

evaluate whether they were appropriately 

recorded as revenue and agreeing amounts 

recorded to supporting evidence; 

• 

Testing a sample of outstanding customer 

contracts at year end and agreeing to 

supporting records to confirm that contract 

assets and contract liabilities have been 

recognised in accordance with AASB 15; 

• 

Performing analytical procedures to 

understand movements and trends in 

revenue in comparison to expectations; 

• 

Performing cut-off procedures to evaluate 

that revenue was captured in the 

appropriate financial year; and 

• 

Assessing the adequacy of the related 

disclosures in the financial report. 

 
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 2023, but does not include the 
financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and 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 at:
