TALi Digital Limited
Annual Report 2023

Plain-text annual report

Annual Report 2023 TALi Digital Limited Chairman’s Report 30 June 2023 Dear Shareholders, On behalf of the Board of TALi Digital Limited (“TALi”), I am pleased to present the Company’s 2023 Annual Report. The financial year 2023 was in many ways a year of progress for TALi. Throughout the year TALi successfully raised $4.1m before costs through a placement and rights issue, executed a partnership agreement with Genius Learning Pty Ltd (“Genius”) and completed the development of healthcare focused product Ready Attention Go (“RAGo”) and the education focused product AttentionTime!. However, the year was not without its challenges. Penetrating the healthcare market with the resources available proved lengthier than anticipated and the education market entry was hampered by the Government delaying the opening of the School Readiness Funding Menu in Victoria. We were pleased that throughout the year the TALi team were able to complete the development of ReadyAttentionGo (RAGo), have the product registered in Australia as a class 1 medical device with the Therapeutics Goods Administration (TGA) and launch into the Australian and Singapore healthcare markets in early calendar year 2023. The results from the testing phase, the controlled market release and the early adopting customers were extremely satisfying for TALi as the product was proven to deliver positive outcomes that it was developed to achieve. This was further validated when the Company received the Red Dot Design award in July 2023, and simultaneously the team completed the development of AttentionTime! which broadened the TALi product range. The education focused product would position the TALi to be able to enter the early childcare sector, a move strengthened by the TALi’s partnership with Genius announced in December 2023. However, we have learnt that the lead times and capital requirements to convert sales of the RAGo product in the healthcare space could not be supported by TALi’s cost base. Further there was no firm indication from the Government as to when the School Readiness Funding Menu in Victoria might reopen. These factors lead the Board to undertake a strategic review which resulted in an expansion in the partnership agreement with Genius which will see Genius assume the operational, product development, maintenance, sales and marketing functions in return for a greater share of the revenue generated by the strategic partnership. This expansion to the partnership has allowed TALi to significantly reduce its cost base, dramatically extending its cash runway. The strategic review also saw TALi announce that following a transition period with Genius it would be parting ways with CEO Dr Mary Beth Brinson. The Board would like to thank the Dr Brinson for guiding the company through the last twelve months and assisting in the transition to Genius. Her leadership and passion is inspiring and we wish her well with her future endeavours. The Board remains focused on maximising value for its shareholders and will continue to seek aligned opportunities to grow and expand the business to deliver that value throughout financial year 2024. The Board would like to thank shareholders for their continued support. Yours sincerely, Mark Simari Chair 1 TALi Digital Limited Contents 30 June 2023 Corporate directory Directors' report Auditor's independence declaration Consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income Consolidated statement of financial position Consolidated statement of changes in equity Consolidated statement of cash flows Notes to the consolidated financial statements Directors' declaration Independent auditor's review report to the members of TALi Digital Limited Shareholder information 3 4 20 21 22 23 24 25 49 50 54 2 TALi Digital Limited Corporate directory 30 June 2023 Directors Mr Mark Simari (Appointed 6 October 2022) Mr Stephen Munday (Appointed 18 October 2022) Mr David William Dr David Brookes Company secretary Mr Tim Luscombe (appointed 5 December 2022) Registered office Principal place of business Share register Auditor Solicitor Suite 201 697 Burke Road Camberwell, Victoria 3124 Suite 201 697 Burke Road Camberwell, Victoria 3124 Automic Registry Services Level 5, 126 Phillip Street Sydney, New South Wales 2000 Australia Telephone: 1300 288 64 Website: automic.com.au Email: hello@automic.com.au RSM Australia Partners Level 21, 55 Collins Street Melbourne VIC 3000 Bakers McKenzie Level 19 181 William St Melbourne VIC 3000 Australia Stock exchange listing TALi Digital Limited shares are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.

Principal activities TALi Digital Limited (ASX: TD1) is a digital health company delivering diagnostic and therapeutic solutions to enhance attention cognitive function. The Company has built a patented platform technology with our first programs targeting cognitive attention skills during early childhood via an evidence based screening tool (DETECT®) and training modules (TRAIN® and ReadyAttentionGo!). These programs are designed to be play-based interactions and can be complementary to existing therapy, placing TALi at the forefront of improving early intervention for childhood attention and concentration performance, which supports our vision to deliver a personalised digital experience to enhance cognitive care. A continuous innovation focus will see the Company deliver a series of product developments relevant to ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). ‐ TALi is incorporated and domiciled in Australia, and with a registered office and principal place of business located at Suite 201, 697 Burke Road, Camberwell Vic 3121. Except as disclosed elsewhere in this Report, there have been no significant changes in the nature of these activities during the year. Operating and financial review Implementing the Strategy During the financial year TALi completed many of its strategic goals including: ● ● ● ● ● Finalising and launching a new medical sales channel product Ready, Attention, Go! Creating a new education channel product AttentionTime! Red Dot Design Award for Ready,Attention,Go! Developing new strategic partnerships to speed up the commercialisation of products Generating initial sales revenue on new products While the attainment of these strategic goals improved revenue generation, including small sales in Australia and Singapore, the revenues in the medical channel were slower than required and the delays in the Educate revenue channel led the Board to announce a strategic review of the Company’s operations. The review addressed the potential pathways for the commercialisation of TALi’s current products and to identify corresponding opportunities in order to maximise value for its shareholders. The strategic review resulted in: ● ● An expansion of the partnership between TALi and Genius Learning Pty Ltd (“Genius”) announced on 4 August 2023 The transition of the CEO of TALi, Dr Mary-Beth Brinson, to a consulting role during the review and then out of the business at the end of the review, announced on 16 August 2023 Annualised costs have been reduced by $1.9 million associated with the expansion of the Genius partnership, announced on 4 August 2023 ● 7 TALi Digital Limited Directors' report 30 June 2023 New Board Members On the 6th October 2022, TALi announced significant changes to the TALi Board. Mark Simari rejoined the Board as Chair having previously served as a director between 2016 and 2020. Sue MacLeman and Jefferson Harcourt resigned as non- executive Chair and non-executive director, respectively. On the 18th October 2022, Stephen Munday was also appointed to the TALi Board as a non-executive director. These changes complemented the changes at the Executive level, supported the new strategy, and focused corporate activity on maximising value for its shareholders. As a part of the strategic review undertaken by the Board in June 2023 to August 2023, Mr Mark Simari has been appointed Executive Chairman and the CEO, Dr Mary-Beth Brinson, has transitioned out of the business during the review process. Capital Raise In December 2022, TALi Digital Limited (ASX: TD1) successfully placed the Entitlement Offer Shortfall and received commitments for a Conditional Placement which, when combined with the Company’s Placement announced to the ASX on Monday, 21 November 2022, took the total capital raise to $4.1m before costs. Proceeds from this placement was used to support the continued commercialisation of TALi’s products and the advancement of global and domestic partnership initiatives. This included completion of the new product, Ready, Attention, GO! and sales in Australia and Singapore, along with the development of AttentionTime! for the Education market. Genius Childcare partners with TALi TALi and Genius reached agreement that allowed Genius Childcare Centres to exclusively distribute TALi products into their Australian Childcare Sector of over 300,000 children. Genius has over 30 centres open with a strong pipeline of new centres across Australia. With the assistance of Genius, TALi sought to have its products and services listed on the appropriate Government Funding Menus. TALi developed a product for the early education market, AttentionTime!. Genius and TALi ran a pilot in one of Genius’ centers in Melbourne to verify that the program was able to be implemented in childcare centres. The pilot was completed with positive feedback about AttentionTime! and valuable learnings from the participants. The information from this pilot was intended to be used to support the approval and listing of AttentionTime! On the Victorian Government Funding menu. Unfortunately, the Victorian Government did not open the funding menu to new applicants as anticipated and instead is conducting a review of programs. Therefore, the expected revenues from this alliance were not available in the anticipated time frame. As a result of the strategic review the partnership between TALi and Genius Learning Pty Ltd (“Genius”) was expanded, including an amendment to the original Strategic Alliance Agreement between the parties which was first announced on 23 December 2022 and covers activities in Australia and New Zealand. Under the newly amended Strategic Alliance Agreement, Genius agrees to: ● Act as exclusive distributor of TALi’s products across the education sector and non-exclusively across the healthcare sector Develop TALi’s products in consultation with TALi Assume the conduct of TALi’s product development and maintenance activities as well as its sales and marketing functions Assume relationships with TALi’s customers and partners (including assuming any obligations with current contracted TALi partners), subject to the terms of those existing arrangements ● ● ● TALi will continue to provide support for the products, and will work closely with Genius to achieve the goals of the strategic alliance. TALi will continue to own all intellectual property rights in the existing TALi products during the term of the revised agreement including rights in: ● ● ● ● ● TALi Train TALi Detect Ready Attention Go AttentionTime! All technology and software subsisting in those products. 8 TALi Digital Limited Directors' report 30 June 2023 Genius will assume all costs associated with the conduct of the outsourced activities and functions, in return for a greater share of the revenue generated by the strategic partnership. Genius will also remit to TALi 20% of all TALi product revenues as part of a revenue sharing arrangement agreed between the parties. This revised strategic partnership arrangement will be in effect for 3 years with an automatic 2 year extension (unless a party provides at least six months’ notice that they do not wish to renew). If during the term of the revised agreement, TALi receive an offer to acquire all or substantially all of its assets, Genius has a right of first of refusal to acquire the relevant assets on the same terms offered by the third party, subject to any necessary regulatory or other approvals being obtained. The revised agreement contains customary termination events for an arrangement of this nature. Ready, Attention, GO! Product Launch and Red Dot Design Award Ready, Attention, GO!, TALi’s new medical product, received Therapeutics Goods Authority (TGA) approval and listing early in calendar year 2023. A successful controlled market release (CMR) was conducted across five Allied Health therapy centres in Australia. Following a successful CMR, Ready, Attention, GO! entered full market release in March generating sales in Australia and Singapore. To promote the new product, TALi exhibited at the SourceKids Disability Expo in Sydney at the end of March. Parents, providers and NDIS Managers attended the TALi booth where Ready, Attention, GO! was exhibited. Attendance at the conference generated sales leads that were followed up in the next months. Additionally, Ready, Attention, GO! received a Red Dot Design Award in July 2023. The Red Dot Design Award is one of the world’s largest design competitions. The Red Dot Label has become established internationally as one of the most sought- after marks of quality for good design. USA Business The digital therapeutics business in the United Sates is quite complex due to how medical devices are reimbursed. These headwinds affected the ability to progress the Akili and TALi partnership. These types of issue are common in new categories in United States. While these challenges are likely to be overcome, progress in the relationship will be slower than expected. Outlook The Board has completed its strategic review of its operations to address the potential pathways for the commercialisation of TALi’s current products and to identify aligned opportunities in order to maximise value for its shareholders. The strategic review resulted in: ● An expansion of the partnership between TALi and Genius Learning Pty Ltd (“Genius”) resulting in annual costs savings of around $1.9 million, announced on 4 August 2023 The transition of the CEO of TALi, Dr Mary-Beth Brinson, from her position as CEO after assisting with the Genuis partnership expansion ● TALi has a strong balance sheet and reduced operating expenditure. It is therefore well positioned to implement the outcomes of the strategic review which include driving sales and marketing efforts of its products through the Genius partnership whilst remains focused on maximising value for its shareholders by seeking aligned opportunities to grow and expand the business to deliver that value. 9 TALi Digital Limited Directors' report 30 June 2023 Material Business risks The material business risks faced by the company that are likely to have an effect on the financial prospects of the company, disclosed above, and how the company manages these risks include: ● ● ● Technological obsolescence - given the rapidly changing environment in which the company operates, this could have a significant impact on our financial results. We address this risk through investment in product development by Genius our strategic partner (details of the partnership are included above under “Genius Childcare partners with TALi”) and by constantly monitoring the market. With the expansion of EdTech and other digital offerings in all sectors of the education and healthcare markets, we see this risk increasing in the future Changes in government policy - given the sizable impact of government funding in education and our strategic partnership with Genius in early childhood education, this could have a significant impact on our financial results. Based on the views of prominent economic commentators, we do not anticipate any significant slowdown in government funding for education in the next few years, but are currently investigating the option with Genius for sales models which do not rely on government funding and expanding our sales into other emerging economies, such as Indonesia and Singapore Distributor viability - given that our current development, sales and marketing operating are being provided by Genius (details of the partnership are included above under “Genius Childcare partners with TALi”), their future viability could have a significant impact on our financial results. We consider this is unlikely to have any significant impact on our financial results in the next year, but could potentially be significant in future years if they are unable to provide these services. Genius are currently expanding the number of childcare centres they operate, are well funded by Sprint Capital and have strategic relationships with other large players in early childhood education. There is no reason to believe that Genius will be unable to perform under the strategic partnership; however, we continue to monitor the company, its relationships and the sector Financial review The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income shows a loss of $2,258,623 (2022: $6,936,129) for the year. As at 30 June 2023 the Group had a cash position of $2,986,733 (2022: $1,845,128). Operating, financing and investing activities incurred a net cash outflow for the year of $1,138,310 (2022: $882,709). The Company continues to pursue non-dilutive funding including government funded incentive programs such as the R&D Tax Incentive (RDTI) and the Export Market Development Grant (EMDG). At 30 June 2023 the Company has a receivable for the estimated RDTI refund for the year ended 30 June 2023 of $666,813 and during the year the Company received an EMDG of $73,200 (2022: $113,032). During the prior year the Company executed a funding facility (Facility) with Treasury Corporation of Victoria (TCV) as part of the Victorian Government’s R&D Cash Flow Loan Initiative (Initiative) of $503,744. The loan is repayable by 31 October 2023, aligned to the expected receipt of the FY23 R&D tax incentive. In FY23, TALi received strong support from new and existing shareholders raising $4.2 million (before costs). Capital and corporate structure On 24 November 2022 the Company announced a Placement to raise $4.2m before costs and a proposed issuance of options to Placement participants and to the Sole Lead Manager. The Placement comprised of 2,062,525,101 fully paid ordinary shares issued at a price of $0.002 per new share to institutional and sophisticated investors. 10 TALi Digital Limited Directors' report 30 June 2023 Unissued shares Details of unissued Ordinary Shares, interests under options as at the date of this report are as follows: Number of options on issue at the date of this report Exercise price when granted Expiry date Director options: Vendor, broker & consultant options: Employee options: Total 30,000,000 30,000,000 30,000,000 15,000,000 5,000,000 85,051,506 300,000 1,200,000 600,000 197,151,506 $0.004 15 March 2028 $0.008 15 March 2028 $0.015 15 March 2028 $0.030 3 August 2025 $0.020 25 November 2025 $0.004 15 March 2027 $0.015 31 October 2023 $0.090 20 July 2026 $0.060 20 July 2026 Dividends The directors do not recommend a dividend be paid or declared by the Company for the year. No dividend has been paid by the Company since its incorporation on 7 April 2004. Significant changes in the state of affairs There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year. Environmental regulation The Group’s operations are not subject to any significant environmental regulations under either Commonwealth or State legislation. The directors believe that the Group has adequate systems in place for the management of its environmental requirements and are not aware of any breach of those environmental requirements as they apply to the Group. Events subsequent to reporting date On 4 August 2023 the Company announced the outcomes of a strategic review that had been announced in June 2023. Outcomes included: ● ● ● The Company expanding its existing strategic partnership with Genius Childcare (Genius) by outsourcing product development and maintenance to Genius. It would also outsource the sales and marketing function to Genius exclusively across the education sector and nonexclusively across the healthcare sector. Assumption of the cost of product development, maintenance, sales and marketing functions by Genius was in return for a greater share of the revenue generated by the strategic partnership to Genius. TALi is expected to achieve an annualised cost reduction of over $1.9 million from July 2023, and will retain 20% of all revenue achieved by TALi products generated through the strategic partnership. On 16 August 2023 the Company announced the completion of the strategic review that included the following further outcomes: ● ● Mr Simari was appointed as Executive Chairman. Mr Simari’s current remuneration arrangements as Non-Executive Dr Brinson’s consulting CEO arrangements would finish on 11 September 2023. Chair did not change with this appointment. No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2023 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs in future financial years. 11 TALi Digital Limited Directors' report 30 June 2023 Indemnification and insurance of officers Indemnification The Company has agreed to indemnify the directors of the Company against liability arising as a result of a director acting as a director or other officer of the Company. The indemnity includes a right to require the Company to maintain Directors’ and Officers’ Liability insurance that extends to former directors. The indemnity provided by the Company is an unlimited and continuing indemnity irrespective of whether a director ceases to hold any position in the Company. Insurance Premiums Since the end of the financial year, the Company has paid a premium for Directors’ and Officers’ Liability insurance for current and former directors and officers, including executive officers of the Company. The directors have not contributed to the payment of the policy premium. The Directors’ and Officers’ Liability insurance policy covers the directors and officers of the Company against loss arising from any claims made against them during the period of insurance (including company reimbursement) by reason of any wrongful act committed or alleged to have been committed by them in their capacity as directors or officers of the Company and reported to the insurers during the policy period or if exercised, the extended reporting period. Risk management The Group takes a proactive approach to risk management. The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks, and also opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that the Group’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks and opportunities identified by the Board. The Group believes that it is crucial for all Board members to be a part of this process, and as such the Board has not established a separate risk management committee. Instead sub-committees are convened as appropriate in response to issues and risks identified by the Board as a whole, and each respective subcommittee further examines the issue and reports back to the Board. The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks identified by the Board. These include the following: ● ● Implementation of Board approved strategic and operating plans and budgets and Board monitoring of progress against these plans, budgets, including the establishment and monitoring of KPIs of both a financial and non-financial nature. The establishment of committees to report on specific business risks. The Audit Committee assists in discharging the Board’s responsibility to manage the organisation’s risks, and monitors Management’s actions to ensure they are in line with Group policy. Rounding off The Group is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Report) Instrument 2016/191 issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), relating to the rounding off of amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been rounded off in accordance with that legislative instrument to the nearest dollar, unless specifically stated to be otherwise. Lead Auditor’s Independence Declaration under Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 The lead auditor’s independence declaration forms part of the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 and is set out after the Directors' report. Non-audit services Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor are outlined in note 24 to the financial statements. In the event non-audit services are provided by the auditor, the Board has established procedures to ensure that the provision of non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors. These include: ● ● All non-audit services are reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and Non-audit services do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 ‘Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants’ issued by the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Group, acting as advocate for the Group or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards. 12 TALi Digital Limited Directors' report 30 June 2023 Remuneration report (audited) This report outlines the compensation arrangements in place for Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) and senior executives of the Group being the Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the Group – being those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, including any director and includes all the executives in the Group. For the purposes of this report, the term “executive” includes the senior executives but does not include the NEDs or the secretary of the Company. All sections contained herein have been subject to audit as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act. Remuneration is referred to as compensation in this report. Details of KMP including remunerated executives of the Group are set out in the Directors’ and Executive Officers’ compensation tables below. Unless otherwise indicated, the individuals were KMP for the entire financial year. There have been no changes to KMP after the reporting date and before the date of this report. Principles of compensation and strategy The full Board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of NEDs and senior executives on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions, with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high performing director and executive team and aligning the interests of the executives with those of the shareholders. TALi Digital Limited’s remuneration strategy is designed to attract, motivate and retain employees and NEDs by identifying and rewarding high performers and recognising the contribution of each employee to the continued growth and success of the Group. To this end, key objectives of the Group’s reward framework are to ensure that remuneration practices are aligned to the Group’s business strategy, offer competitive remuneration benchmarked against the external market, provide strong linkage between individual and Group performance and rewards and align the interests of executives with shareholders. Where relevant, the remuneration framework incorporates at risk components through Short-term Incentives (STI) and Long- term Incentives (LTI) arrangements tailored to the particular executive by reference to both financial and other metrics which generate value for shareholders. The Board also sets the aggregate fee pool for NEDs (which is subject to shareholder approval) and NED fee levels. In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of NED and executive remuneration is separate and distinct. The Board assumes full responsibility for compensation policies and packages applicable to directors and senior executives of the Group. The broad compensation policy is to ensure the compensation package appropriately reflects the person’s duties and responsibilities, and that compensation levels are competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people who possess the requisite level of skill and experience. Employees may receive at-risk incentive payments remunerated as cash and/or securities (performance rights or options) based on the achievement of specific goals related to the performance of the individual and the Group as a whole as determined by the directors. Incentives are provided to senior executives and employees for the achievement of individual and strategic objectives with the broader view of creating value for shareholders. Fixed compensation Fixed compensation consists of a base salary package, which includes Fringe Benefits Tax calculated on any salary packaging arrangements and employer superannuation contributions. Fixed compensation levels for KMPs and senior members of staff are reviewed by the Board and comprising the Group’s KMP, through a process that considers the employee’s personal development, achievement of key performance objectives for the year, industry benchmarks wherever possible and CPI data. The Board’s policy is to ensure that fixed remuneration is market competitive having regard to industry peers and companies of similar financial size. Given the Group’s size it is not considered necessary to engage remuneration consultants for this purpose and accordingly the Group undertakes its own informal review, which it does on an ongoing basis. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are individually tailored by the Board in advance for each employee each year, and reflect an assessment of how that employee can fulfil his or her particular responsibilities in a way that best contributes to Group performance and shareholder wealth in that year with close alignment to the role and responsibility within the organisation and in conjunction with the strategic objectives of the Group. 13 TALi Digital Limited Directors' report 30 June 2023 Performance linked compensation All employees are potentially eligible to receive at-risk incentive payments and/or securities (shares or options) based on the achievement of specific goals related to (i) performance against individual key performance indicators and/or (ii) the performance of the Group as a whole as determined by the Board based on a range of factors. These factors include traditional financial considerations such as operating performance, cash consumption and deals concluded and also industry specific factors. The purpose of these payments is to reward employees for their contribution to the Group. Employment contracts for staff other than the KMPs do not generally provide for at-risk or short-term incentive compensation arrangements having regard to the above factors although the Board always retains the right to agree or otherwise provide payments on a discretionary basis in special circumstances or where individual performance merits a payment being made. The Board is responsible for the determination of incentive compensation for employees and executives and for any decisions to award performance incentives. The Board at its sole discretion determines the total amount of performance-linked compensation payable as a percentage of the total annualised salaries for all employees employed as at the end of the financial year (with pro rata reductions to the annualised salary made for any employee not employed for the entire financial year). The Directors have the discretion to recommend the offer of performance rights to acquire ordinary shares, options or the direct issue of shares to any member of staff in recognition of exemplary performance. Such securities may be fully vested upon issue given that they are issued as a reward for past performance rather than as an LTI. Any issue of such securities proposed as incentive compensation requires approval by the Board and is subject to any limitations imposed by the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules. As at the date of this report, no such securities have been issued. At, or as soon as practicable after, the beginning of the financial year, individual and team performance for the previous year is assessed for every employee by their manager and new objectives set for the forthcoming year. These objectives include department and project specific objectives together with individual stretch objectives, challenging, realistic and personal development objectives tailored to the employee’s role within the organisation. Measurement, management support, target dates and training course requirements are all set. Progress against the objectives is reviewed during the year and percentage achievement concluded at the end of the year, whereupon the cycle recommences. The outputs of this process form the basis of the assessment of the individual’s personal incentive compensation. The Board has discretion to reduce, cancel or clawback any unvested performance-based remuneration in the event of serious misconduct or a material misstatement in the Group’s financial statements. All Performance Rights are also subject to an overriding condition that the financial performance of the Group, in the absolute discretion of the Board, has been satisfactory. Chief Executive Officer - Mary Beth Brinson The Company had previously entered into an Executive Services Agreement (ESA) with Mary Beth Brinson (Brinson). Under the ESA, Brinson was employed by the Company to provide services to the Company as Chief Executive Officer on a full-time basis. The Company will remunerate Brinson for her services with a base remuneration of $310,000 per annum, exclusive of superannuation and subject to annual review by the Company. The ESA could be terminated by either the Company or Brinson for any reason on 4 weeks’ written notice, in which case the Company can elect for Brinson to serve out all or part of that notice period and/or to pay Brinson an amount in lieu of continuing her employment during all or part of that notice period. The ESA may also be terminated by the Company summarily at any time if Brinson breaches a material term of the ESA, or engages in any act or omission constituting serious misconduct, in which case the Company need not make any payment to Brinson other than accrued entitlements. Any discoveries and inventions made or discovered by Brinson during the term of the ESA which relate to the Company's business must be disclosed to the Company and will remain the sole property of the Company. 14 TALi Digital Limited Directors' report 30 June 2023 Dr Brinson is also subject to restrictions in relation to: ● the use of confidential information during and after her employment with the Company; and ● being directly or indirectly involved in a competing business during and after her employment with the Company, on terms which are considered standard for agreements of this nature. Otherwise, the ESA was on terms considered standard for agreements of this nature. On 16 June 2023 the company announced that Dr Brinson's employment arrangements would be modified with the below terms effective 15 July 2023: ● ● ● Dr Brinson will be paid a consultancy fee of $10,000 (excluding GST) per month Dr Brinson may also receive an incentive payment should the strategic review result in the immediate commercial realisation of TALi’s current products. If a realisation does occur, then an incentive would be payable to Dr Brinson equal to 2.5% of any up-front cash payment received by the Company The consultancy agreement is otherwise on standard terms and can be terminated by either party by giving one months' notice On 16 August 2023 the Company announced the completion of the strategic review and that Dr Brinson’s consulting arrangements will finish on 11 September 2023. Long Term Incentive (LTI) From time to time Board approval may be sought for the issue of securities (performance rights or options) to staff and executives as a means of providing a medium to long term incentive for performance and loyalty. Any such performance rights are issued under the TALi Digital Performance Rights Plan. An amount of $40,663 (2022: $171,485) has been recognised in the 2023 financial year by way of shared based payment expense. In order to give the incentive medium to long term impact, the options have an approximate three-year life and a vesting profile. Director compensation The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate compensation of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount approved by shareholders is then divided between the directors as agreed by the Board. An amount of $350,000 was approved at the Company’s inaugural Annual General Meeting held on 4 October 2005. The Board does not intend to seek any increase for the Non-Executive Director (NED) maximum aggregate fee pool at the 2023AGM. The Board seeks to set NED fees at a level which provides the Group with the ability to attract and retain NEDs of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders. The maximum aggregate fee pool and the fee structure is reviewed annually against fees paid to NEDs of comparable companies in similar industries. Non-executive directors do not receive performance related compensation and the structure of non-executive director and senior management compensation is separate and distinct. Non-executive directors do not have contracts of employment but are required to evidence their understanding and compliance with the Board policies of TALi Digital Limited. These Board policies do not prescribe how compensation levels for non-executive directors are modified from year to year. Compensation levels are to be reviewed by the Board each year taking into account cost of living, changes to the scope of the roles of the directors, and any changes required to meet the principles of the overall Board policies. Details of arrangements with Directors are found below: Position Annual salary (inclusive of superannuation) to 31 January 2023 Annual salary (inclusive of superannuation) from 1 February 2023 Annual salary (inclusive of superannuation) from 16 August 2023 Non-Executive Chair Non-Executive Directors Executive Chair $60,000 $35,000 N/A $90,000 $52,500 N/A 15 N/A N/A $90,000 TALi Digital Limited Directors' report 30 June 2023 NEDs may be reimbursed for expenses reasonably incurred in attending to the Group’s affairs. NEDs do not receive retirement benefits, nor do they participate in any incentive programs.

It does not utilise earnings per share as a performance measure and does not contemplate consideration of any dividends in the short to medium term given that all efforts are currently being devoted to obtaining value for the Group’s assets and where possible building the business and partnerships to establish self-sustaining revenue streams and total shareholder value. The Group is of the view that any short term, adverse movements in the Company’s share price should not necessarily be taken into account in assessing the performance of KMP’s. This concludes the remuneration report, which has been audited. This report is made with a resolution of the directors. ___________________________ Mark Simari Chair 31 August 2023 19 RSM Australia Partners Level 21, 55 Collins Street Melbourne VIC 3000 PO Box 248 Collins Street West 3007 T +61 (0) 3 9286 8000 F +61 (0) 3 9286 8199 www.rsm.com.au AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION As lead auditor for the audit of the financial report of TALi Digital Limited and its controlled entities for the year ended 30 June 2023, I declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, there have been no contraventions of: (i) the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 in relation to the audit; and (ii) any applicable code of professional conduct in relation to the audit.

Reporting entity TALi Digital Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at 2023 comprise the Company and its subsidiary entities (together referred to as the “Group” and individually as “Group entities”). The Group primarily is involved in research and development, for commercialisation, of medical technology projects. The Company is a public company listed on the ASX, incorporated and domiciled in Australia, and with a registered office and principal place of business located at Suite 201, 697 Burke Road, Camberwell Vic 3124. Except as disclosed elsewhere in this Report, there have been no significant changes in the nature of these activities during the year. 2. Basis of preparation (a) Statement of compliance The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) (including Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), relating to the rounding off of amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been rounded off in accordance with that legislative instrument to the nearest dollar, unless specifically stated to be otherwise. (b) Going concern The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the year ended 30 June 2023, the Group incurred a loss of $2,258,623 (2022: $6,936,129), had negative operating cash flows of $2,000,142 (2022: $4,328,145) and had cash reserves of $2,986,733 (2022: $1,845,128). The Group’s main activity is developing and commercialising the TALi products and various service lines which will require further funding and investment. The Company announced a strategic review in June 2023 where it later advised that $1.7m of annualised expenditure had been removed. Following this the Directors have considered a cash flow forecast, which indicates that the Company has sufficient cash flows to meet all commitments and working capital requirements for the 12 month period from the date of signing this financial report. Based on the cash flow forecasts referred to above, the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate and the directors are confident of the Company’s ability to raise additional funds as and when they are required. (c) Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of consolidated financial statements conforms with Australian Accounting Standards which requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision only affects that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The key estimates and judgments made in preparing the financial statements are: • Assessing the carrying amount and estimated useful life of identifiable intangible assets (refer to note 12); and • Assessing the carrying amount of investments (refer to note 10). 3. Significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 26 TALi Digital Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2023 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Boards (‘AASB’) that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not mandatory have not yet been adopted. The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the Group: (a) Revenue and other income Sale of goods The Group follows AASB15 which is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer. To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Group follows a 5-step process: 1. Identifying the contract with a customer 2. Identifying the performance obligations 3. Determining the transaction price 4. Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations 5. Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied. Revenue from sale of goods is for a one-off fixed fee. In accordance with the 5-step approach, revenues are generally recognised at the time of delivery of the goods to the customer. Invoices for goods or services transferred are generally due upon receipt of the goods. Government grants Conditional government grants are recognised initially as deferred income when there is a reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions associated with the grant. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are recognised. An unconditional grant is recognised in profit or loss as other income when the grant becomes receivable. (b) Financial Instruments 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 Group intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial recognition. For financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss is recognised within other comprehensive income. In all other cases, the loss allowance is recognised in profit and loss. 27 TALi Digital Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2023 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call or term deposits. Accounting for finance income and costs are discussed in (c). (c) Finance income and costs Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested, dividend income, and changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, gains on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss and reclassifications of amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method. Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, impairment losses recognised on financial assets, and losses on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss and reclassifications of amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income. (d) Goods and services tax Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST excluded. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows. (e) Foreign currency Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to Australian dollars at the foreign exchange rate at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the income statement. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are retranslated to Australian dollars using the foreign exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to Australian dollars at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. (f) Income tax Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. 28 TALi Digital Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2023 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) (g) Property, plant and equipment (i) Owned assets The Group holds no property. Items of plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The costs of day to day servicing of plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. The cost of replacing part of an item of plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the asset if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its costs can be measured reliably. (ii) Depreciation Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straightline basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of plant and equipment. The estimated useful lives in the current and comparative periods are as follows: • Plant and equipment 2.5 – 10 years • Leasehold improvements 3 years Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed annually at the reporting date. (h) Intangible assets Intangible assets acquired by the Group which satisfy the asset recognition criteria set out in AASB 138 Intangible Assets, are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets which are considered to have a finite life are amortised over their estimated useful life. In respect of acquired licences / marketing rights, amortisation commences upon the asset becoming available for use, based on commercialisation of the licensed or marketed product. The estimated useful life of acquired intellectual property is 5-20 years (2022: 5-20 years). Research and development Research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred; development costs are capitalised when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility; the Group is able to use or sell the asset; the Group has sufficient resources; and intent to complete the development and its costs can be measured reliably. Capitalised development costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit being their finite life. Management assessed the finite life in 2021 to be 14.5 years (previously 7 years) in line with the Group's major patent expiry dates. (i) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. (j) Impairment A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets are reviewed at each balance date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. An impairment loss in respect of an asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective original interest rate. Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics. All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Aside from impairment of goodwill, an impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the reversal is recognised in profit or loss. 29 TALi Digital Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2023 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) The carrying amounts for non-financial assets are reviewed each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment loss recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is determined as the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is assessed using discounted cash flow analysis. When determining fair value less costs to sell, the Group takes into account information from recent market transactions and other available market-based information. (k) Employee benefits (i) Long-term service benefits The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods plus related on-costs. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on corporate bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations. (ii) Share-based payment transactions The Group provides benefits to its employees in the form of share-based payments, via options over shares (equity-settled transaction). There is currently an Employee Share Option Plan in place as part of the LTI, for the issue of share based payments to staff and KMP to incentivise performance and loyalty. The options over shares will vest over a period of three years subject to the employee remaining employed by the Group. For KMP there may also be performance measures built into the vesting criteria. The cost of the equity-settled transaction is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled (vesting period), ending on the date the relevant employees benefit become fully entitled to the award (the vesting date). The fair value of the performance rights is based on the Monte Carlo pricing model to test the likelihood of attaining the vesting criteria. (iii) Wages, salaries, annual leave and at-risk performance incentives Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries, annual leave and performance incentives represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided up to reporting date and are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on compensation wage and salary rates that the Group expects to pay as at reporting date including related on-costs, such as workers’ compensation insurance and payroll tax. Government stimulus payments such as PAYGW cash boost and JobKeeper are recorded as a reimbursement of expenditure. (iv) Superannuation Obligations for contributions to defined contribution superannuation funds are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they are due. The Group has no defined benefit pension fund obligations. (l) Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be measured reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Lease make good provision A provision has been made for the present value of anticipated costs for future restoration of leased premises. The provision includes future cost estimates associated with closure of the premises. The calculation of this provision requires assumptions such as application of closure dates and cost estimates. The provision recognised for each site is periodically reviewed and updated based on the facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes to the estimated future costs for sites are recognised in the statement of financial position by adjusting the asset and the provision. Reductions in the provision that exceed the carrying amount of the asset will be recognised in profit or loss. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. 30 TALi Digital Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2023 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) (m) Research and development Research expenditure undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge or understanding is expensed in profit or loss as incurred. Development expenditure is capitalised only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and completion of development is intended. (n) Segment reporting A segment is a distinguishable component of a Group engaged in providing products or services within a particular business sector or geographical environment. The Group determines and presents operating segments based on information that internally is provided to and used by the Managing Director, who is the Group’s chief operating decision maker. From 1 July 2020 the Group deems to only operate within one business segment. (o) Earnings per share The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, including share options granted to employees and to third parties. (p) Share capital Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any associated tax benefit. (q) Fair value reserve The fair value reserve comprises the cumulative net change in the fair value of financial assets with changes in their fair value recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. (r) Foreign currency Translation The financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars, which is TALi Digital Limited's functional and presentation currency. (s) Borrowings All loans and 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 profit or loss over the year of the loans and borrowings using the effective interest method. Borrowings are derecognised from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract has been discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of the borrowing derecognised and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs. All 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 end of the reporting year. 31 TALi Digital Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2023 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) Land and buildings are shown at fair value, based on periodic, at least every 3 years, valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation and impairment for buildings. The valuations are undertaken more frequently if there is a material change in the fair value relative to the carrying amount. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. Increases in the carrying amounts arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited in other comprehensive income through to the revaluation surplus reserve in equity. Any revaluation decrements are initially taken in other comprehensive income through to the revaluation surplus reserve to the extent of any previous revaluation surplus of the same asset. Thereafter the decrements are taken to profit or loss. 4. Revenue from continuing operations Sale of licenses 5.

Income tax expense (continued) The deductible temporary differences and any tax losses do not expire under current tax legislation. Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these items because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available from which the Group can utilise the benefits. There was no deferred tax recognised directly in equity. As at 30 June 2023 the Group has revenue losses of approximately $165 million (2022: $164 million). 7.

In June 2020 patents and other intellectual property were acquired in relation to TALi products at a fair value of $428,000. Intangibles are initially recognised at cost and amortised on a straight- line basis over the period of expected benefit, less any adjustments for impairment losses. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period. (ii) Internally developed assets Internally developed assets include the applied development activities conducted on the TALi Technology in respect of the development stage of the products. On 1 April 2021, the estimated useful life of the internally developed assets was reassessed to align the useful life of the assets to the expiry of the assets' main issued patents. The estimated useful life was reassessed to be at that time 14.5 years (previously 7 years). The date of reassessment occurred on 1 April 2021 in line with the assets roll out to the Indian market. Both TALi TRAIN and TALi DETECT assets were assessed as available and ready for use for customers from the date of reassessment and have been amortised accordingly. ReadyAttentionGo! and AttentionTime were available and ready for use from 1 March 2023 and 1 May 2023 respectively and have been amortised accordingly with the useful life tied to the expiry of the patents in 2035. 35 TALi Digital Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2023 12. Intangible assets (continued) An assessment was made by management to determine whether any indicators of impairment exist. Indicators assessed included but were not limited to; the Group’s market capitalisation, technology obsolescence, changes in laws and regulations and COVID-19. In accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 136 Impairment of assets, the Group reviews intangible assets for impairment twice a year (in conjunction with the Interim Financial Report and the Annual Report). If an impairment charge is warranted, it is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its recoverable amount based on a discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals. The assessment of recoverable amount for the Licences, intellectual property and the Internally developed assets a single cash generating unit (CGU) was created representing all of the forecast income and expenditure associated with these assets and an allocation of 10% of corporate overheads. The discounted cash flow analysis was largely based on the expected results of the strategic partnership with Genius Learning Pty Ltd over the five-year life of the related agreement and a terminal value calculated at one times the expected net cashflow the final year. As a result of the value-in-use calculation using a discounted cash flow model, the recoverable amount of these assets exceeds their carrying amounts by $1.5 million and no impairment was identified. The key assumptions included in the preparation of the discounted cash flow model that was prepared using a five-year forecast with a small terminal value were: ● ● Pre-tax discount rate of 29.73% Revenue projections based on: FY24 FY25 FY26 FY27 FY28 % % % % % Market Share 0.01% 0.75% 1.50% 3.00% 5.00% ● ● Operating cost and overheads growth rate of 5% per year Terminal value based on one times the year five net cash flow The pre-tax discount rate of 29.7% reflects management’s estimate of the time value of money and the consolidated entity’s weighted average cost of capital, the risk-free rate and the volatility of the share price relative to market movements. If the pre-tax discount rate was increased to 47.0%, the carrying amount of the asset group would equal its recoverable amount. Forecasted revenue, based on market share growth is based comparable product market share growth in similar markets. If forecasted market share growth were reduced by 35% resulting in only 3.27% market share by year five, the carrying amount of the asset group would equal its recoverable amount. If there were any negative changes beyond those described above in these two key assumptions on which the recoverable amount of the Licences, intellectual property and the Internally developed assets is based, this would result in an impairment charge of this asset group. 13.

The Company received $503,744 in FY22. Interest on Facility advances is variable at the “TCV 11am” loan interest rate (as at 30 June 2023 was 4.265% and repaid monthly. Repayment of the Facility is timed to coincide with receipt of Tali Digital's FY2023 RDTI refund, expected by 31 October 2023, but may be repaid earlier. The Facility is secured by the FY2022 and FY2023 R&D Tax Incentive (RDTI) refunds. As part of the agreement the Company must maintain a Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) of 80%. At 30 June 2022 the Company's estimated FY2022 RDTI fell below the requirement to meet the LVR, a repayment of $42,063 to reduce the LVR to 80% may have been required by October 2022 and was therefore classified as current, however due to changes in the program this was not required. 38 TALi Digital Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2023 16.

Under the LTIP, selected executives may be offered several performance rights (Right) and share options. Each Right provides the entitlement to acquire one TALi share at nil cost to the satisfaction of performance hurdles. The fair value of performance rights granted is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured by an independent third party at grant date and recognised over the three-year vesting period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the performance rights. 41 TALi Digital Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2023 20.

Financial instruments disclosure and financial risk management The Group has exposure to market, credit and liquidity risks from the use of financial instruments. This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of these risks, its objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. The Group has adopted a Strategic Risk Management Framework through which it manages risks and aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment and action plans for risks that cannot be effectively managed through the use of controls. The Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s Strategic Risk Management Framework in relation to the changing risks faced by the Group. (a) Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices, will affect the Group’s income or value of its holdings in financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the financial return. (i) Foreign currency risk The Group has contracts denominated in foreign currencies, predominantly in US dollars, and may enter into forward exchange contracts where appropriate in light of anticipated future purchases and sales, conditions in foreign markets, commitments from customers and past experience and in accordance with Board-approved limits. Note 3(e) sets out the accounting treatments for such contracts. There were no hedged amounts payable or receivable in foreign currencies at reporting date (2022: nil). At reporting date, the Group had the following exposures to foreign currency, converted to AUD: 42 TALi Digital Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2023 21.

For financial assets, the credit risk exposure of the Group is the carrying amount of the asset net of any provision for expected credit losses. (i) Receivables The Group undertakes due diligence prior to entering any collaboration, co-development or licensing agreement with a counterparty that exposes the Group to credit risk. The Group’s exposure to credit risk from receivables is shown below. No amounts are past due and impaired at balance date.
