Highlights
• Successfully completed the sale of 90% of Clearpay Finance Ltd (“Clearpay”) to Afterpay Touch Group Ltd
(“APT” or “Afterpay”) on 23 August 2018, delivering £7.73 million profit after tax on the sale.
• ThinkSmart’s remaining 10%(1) holding in Clearpay provides shareholders with further upside potential given
Afterpay’s 5 year call option, exercisable at any time after 23 August 2023, and ThinkSmart’s reciprocal put
option 6 months later to be able to sell the remaining holding to Afterpay at a price calculated on agreed principles
based on market valuations at the time of option exercise.
• Continuing to trade as Clearpay post acquisition by Afterpay, the Clearpay UK business onboarded more than
200,000 active customers in the first 15 weeks of trading - higher than the Afterpay US operation achieved at the
same time post-launch which has since grown to over 2.1 million active US customers in just over a year.
• Group cash of £11 million at 31 August 2019 reflecting cash of £7.10 million at 30 June 2019, after the A$8
million (£4.40 million) special dividend/capital return, and cash received post 30 June 2019 of AU$6.93 million
(£3.82 million) from the sale of the second tranche of 250,000 shares in Afterpay from the Clearpay sale.
• Leasing originations from continuing operations at £4.3 million, significantly lower than the same period last year
(FY18: £13.4 million) with majority of reduction from the lower margin Flexible Leasing product.
• Operating costs reduced by 26% to £4.8 million and remain controlled, aligned to current volume performance,
with further cost reductions made in July and August 2019.
• Net profit after tax of £8.67 million (FY18 restated(2): loss of £4.56 million), reflecting net profit after tax from
continuing operations of £0.94 million (FY18 restated: loss of £3.96 million), together with profit on the sale of
90% of Clearpay.
• Net Assets of £16.6 million at 30 June 2019, equivalent to 15.56 pence per share.
(1) A proportion of the 10% retained shareholding (up to 3.5% of the total share capital of Clearpay) will be made available to employees of
Clearpay under an employee share ownership plan.
(2) Restated for the adoption of IFRS 15 in the current year applying the full retrospective transition approach with the date of initial
application being 1 July 2018.
Commenting on the results, Ned Montarello, Executive Chairman of ThinkSmart, said:
“The sale of 90% of ThinkSmart’s Clearpay business to Afterpay has been a significant positive point for the Group and
its shareholders.
“Our shareholders will be encouraged with the early growth of the Clearpay business in the UK, as announced by
Afterpay in August 2019, given the stake we hold in the business. Continuing to trade as Clearpay post acquisition by
Afterpay, the Clearpay UK business onboarded more than 200,000 active customers in the first 15 weeks of trading -
higher than the Afterpay US operation achieved at the same time post-launch, which has since grown to over 2.1 million
active US customers in just over a year. As well, Clearpay announced that it had established important new UK retail
partnerships, including with PrettyLittleThing, boohoo, JD Sports and Missy Empire.
“ThinkSmart’s remaining holding in Clearpay provides shareholders with future upside profit potential through the 5 year
call option for Afterpay to purchase ThinkSmart’s remaining holding in Clearpay any time after August 2023 at a price
calculated on agreed principles based on market valuations at the time of option exercise. ThinkSmart has a reciprocal
put option 6 months later to sell its remaining holding in Clearpay to Afterpay. Clearly, ongoing growth in Clearpay is
beneficial for ThinkSmart shareholders.
We continue to look at options to leverage ThinkSmart’s established technology platform across the core leasing
business.”

Chairman’s Statement
Chairman’s Statement
Introduction
This year saw the successful completion of the Group’s sale of 90% of Clearpay to ASX listed Afterpay, a global leader
in online payments, with the transaction realising profit after tax of £7.7m. As well as generating a significant return on
investment for Shareholders, the transaction also offers further significant upside potential from the retained 10% stake
in Afterpay’s UK business. A proportion of the 10% retained shareholding (up to 3.5% of the total share capital of
Clearpay) will be made available to employees of Clearpay under an employee share ownership plan. Any such options
will only be exercisable on an ultimate exit event or at such time as the Group no longer holds shares in Clearpay.
ThinkSmart is pleased to note the Afterpay 2019 results announcement on 29 August 2019 which stated that the launch
into the UK, trading as Clearpay, had been successful. It stated Clearpay gained over 200,000 active customers in the first
15 weeks of trading, which is higher than Afterpay’s US operation at the same time post launch which has since grown
to over 2.1 million active US customers in just over a year (US now accounts for more than 10% of Afterpay group’s
underlying merchant sales).
The Group continues to align its cost base with its volumes and review the ongoing strategy of its leasing arm together
with providing an outsourced customer contact centre for Clearpay in the UK.
The Group has a robust financing position, with cash of £11m at 31 August 2019 reflecting cash of £7.10 million at 30
June 2019, after the A$8 million (£4.40 million) special dividend/capital return, and cash received post 30 June 2019 of
AU$6.93 million (£3.82 million) from the sale of the second tranche of 250,000 shares in Afterpay from the Clearpay
sale, together with available headroom on its funding facilities of £58m.
Performance
Leasing volumes fell 68% to £4.3m (FY18: £13.4m) over the period, with the majority of this reduction experienced
within our lower margin Flexible Leasing product. We are in ongoing discussions with our retail partner, Dixons
Carphone, with regard to this performance.
Revenues were 15% lower for the period at £8.1m (FY18 restated: £9.6m) as the lower volumes in the period are partially
offset by the majority of revenue for the period being derived from higher volumes in previous years.
Net profit after tax increased to £8.7 million (FY18 restated: loss of £4.6 million), reflecting net profit after tax from
continuing operations of £0.9 million (FY18 restated: loss of £4.0 million), together with £7.7 million profit on the sale
of 90% of Clearpay. Operating costs reduced by 26% to £4.8m for the period and remain controlled, aligned to current
volume performance, with further cost reductions made in July and August 2019.
Statutory earnings per share of 8.21 pence (FY18 restated: loss of 4.34 pence per share) is largely due to the sale of 90%
Clearpay.
The Group continues to have a good mix of consumer and business customers, in addition to being diversified by region
and demography. The quality of the Group’s underwriting procedures, as well as the small value of debt per customer
and its high-quality credit customer portfolio continues to mitigate the risk to any adverse impact on its existing
customers’ financial position.
Position
As at 30 June 2019, lease receivables under management were £13.2m, with approximately 29,600 active customer
contracts.
The Group held cash and cash equivalents of £7.1m at 30 June 2019, after the AU$8m (£4.4m) special dividend/capital
return and prior to the AU$6.9m (£3.8m) cash received post 30 June 2019 from the sale of the remaining 250,000
Afterpay shares which increased group cash at 31 August 2019 to £11 million.
The Group has sufficient headroom available on its funding facilities totalling £70m (including £60m STB Operating
agreement and £10m STB credit facility) in place of which less than 25% has been drawn leaving £58m available.

Disposal of Shares in Clearpay
As announced on 23 August 2018, the Company’s subsidiary, ThinkSmart Europe Limited (“TSE”), completed the sale
of 90% of the issued shares in Clearpay to Afterpay for 1,000,000 shares in the capital of Afterpay. On 24 August 2018,
the Company sold its initial tranche of 750,000 shares in the capital of Afterpay at a price of A$20 per share.
The Group received the second tranche of 250,000 shares in Afterpay, from the sale of Clearpay, on 25 February 2019.
These shares have now been sold in two tranches of 125,000 (on 27 June and 28 August 2019) with cash received post
30 June 2019 of AU$6.93 million (£3.82 million).
Dividend/Capital Return
As previously announced, the Group returned AU$8m to its shareholders/depositary interest holders during the year in
two payments, one for A$3,999,875.72 being a capital return and the other for A$3,999,875.72 being a special dividend
with a record date of 15 March 2019 and payment date of 29 March 2019 for both payments.
Current Trading Update
Post the period end, leasing volumes have stabilised and remain broadly in line with the last two months of FY19 at
c.£0.2m monthly settled value, whilst operating costs remain controlled aligned to current volume performance.
Looking ahead, the business will continue to align its cost base with its volumes and review the ongoing strategy of its
leasing arm together with continuing to look at options to leverage its established technology platform across its core
leasing business.

Summary of results

(Afterpay) on 23 August 2018, delivering £7.73 million profit after tax on the sale.
• Net profit after tax of £8.67 million in the year, with £0.94 million from continuing operations, up 290% on the
restated prior financial year.
• Basic Earnings Per Share of 8.21 pence at 30 June 2019 up 289% from restated Loss Per Share of (4.34) pence at
30 June 2018.
• Available cash assets of £7.1 million at 30 June 2019, up 181% on prior financial year end position.
• Second Tranche of 250,000 Afterpay shares, from the sale of ClearPay, received on 25 February 2019. The sale
of 125,000 of those shares on 27 June 2019 at AUD $27.69 per share raised GBP £1.9 million. The remaining
125,000 Afterpay shares held at 30 June 2019 valued at £1.7 million.
Review of operations
Continuing operations – UK
The UK business incurred a loss (before intercompany recharge of corporate costs) of £0.5m (2018 restated: £3.2m loss)
which was driven by lower than expected business volumes achieved through longstanding partner Dixons Carphone.
Inertia income performed well throughout the year as did insurance commission income which combined to mitigate the
impact of the reduced volumes of new business.
Overall UK volumes at £4.6m for the year were down 66% on prior year of £13.7m driven by the sale of ClearPay and
reduced volumes of established products due to business change within Dixons Carphone. SmartPlan volumes decreased
from £4.8m to £2.7m, Upgrade Anytime volumes decreased from £2.0m to £0.8m and Flexible Leasing volumes
decreased from £6.5m to £0.8m for the year. Due to the reduced business volumes being generated through established
products the Group diversified its product range in FY2018 with the launch of ClearPay, a new and innovative consumer
credit product. Despite being discontinued following the sale of the company in August 2018, ClearPay generated £0.3m
of new business in the first two months of the financial year.

GROUP STRATEGY
The sale of 90% of ClearPay Finance Ltd (“ClearPay”) to Afterpay Touch Group Ltd (“Afterpay”) on 23 August 2018,
delivering £7.73 million profit after tax on the sale, has been a significant pivot point for the Group.
ThinkSmart’s remaining 10%* holding in ClearPay provides the Group with further upside potential given Afterpay’s
5 year call option and ThinkSmart’s reciprocal put option 6 months later to be able to sell the remaining holding to
Afterpay at a price calculated on agreed principles based on market valuations at the time of option exercise.
Continuing to trade as ClearPay post acquisition by Afterpay, the ClearPay UK business onboarded more than
200,000 active customers in the first 15 weeks of trading – higher than the Afterpay US operation achieved at the same
time post-launch which has since grown to over 2.1 million active US customers in just over a year. Ongoing growth in
ClearPay is beneficial to ThinkSmart.
The Group is in ongoing discussions with its sole retail distribution partner, Dixons Carphone, with regard to leasing
volume performance.
The Group will continue to align its cost base with its volumes and review the ongoing strategy of its leasing arm together
with continuing to look at options to leverage its established technology platform across its core leasing business.
* A proportion of the 10% retained shareholding (up to 3.5% of the total share capital of ClearPay) will be made available to employees
of ClearPay under an employee share ownership plan.

ThinkSmart Limited
Directors’ Report (continued)
RISKS
The Directors of ThinkSmart accept that risk is an inherent part of doing business and actively identify, monitor and
manage material risks. Key material risks faced by the Group are:
The Group is exposed to the risk of default or fraud by its customers
The credit quality of accepted customers and the Group’s policies and procedures to mitigate payment defaults has an
impact on the Group’s financial performance either directly through impairment losses or indirectly through funding
costs. Robust credit checking and collection processes combined with continual development of our IP capability in this
area assist in managing and mitigating this risk.
The Group is subject to inherent risks from general macro-economic conditions in the UK, the Eurozone and
globally
The Group’s business is subject to general macro-economic conditions in the UK and volatility in the global economic
and financial markets, both generally and as they specifically affect finance providers. The outlook for the UK economy
remains somewhat uncertain (especially so in the light of Brexit which may take place on 31 October 2019). Adverse
economic conditions in the UK, such as unemployment, could also have a negative impact on the financial circumstances
of the customers to whom the Group has financial exposure to.
The Group faces risks associated with interest rate levels and volatility
Interest rates affect the cost and availability of the principal sources of the Group’s funding, which is provided by
Santander (under the terms of the Santander Facility Agreement) and Secure Trust Bank (“STB” through the
STB Operating Agreement and through the STB Invoice Discounting Agreement). The interest rate risk is carried by STB
under the STB Operating Agreement, but by the Group under the Santander Facility Agreement and the STB Invoice
Discounting Agreement. A sustained low interest rate environment keeps the Group’s costs of funding low by reducing
the amount of interest the Group pays to Santander and STB and also, the cost for STB to finance the leases which it
funds.
In August 2018, the Bank of England base rate was increased by 0.25% to 0.75%. If interest rates are increased, the
ability of the Group to pass, and the speed in which it passes, the increased cost of funding to its customers will impact
the Group’s results and profitability. Additionally, if the Group passes the increased cost of funding to its customers, there
is a risk that, in doing so, the Group’s products will become more expensive and the Group will experience decreased
demand for its products. A significant increase in the base rate could have a material adverse impact on the Group’s
results, profitability and consequently the return on capital.
The Group’s business is dependent on its access to funding
The availability and cost of funds impacts the Group’s product pricing decisions, its ability to accept volume growth
delivered by its partners and the ultimate profitability of its products. The historic credit quality of ThinkSmart’s lending,
market competition for debt and other macro-economic factors also impact this risk.
The Group is reliant on its relationships with Dixons Retail and Carphone Warehouse
The vast majority of the Group’s new business volumes are from its retail partners, Dixons Retail and Carphone
Warehouse, one of Europe’s leading specialist electrical and telecommunications retailers. The Group has a long term
exclusive contract with Dixons which has been extended to 2020 which is conditional on the group continuing to perform
and develop the financial products it provides to Dixons just as it has done since 2003.
The Group is exposed to changes in Government policies
Government policies (of both the UK and Australia) are subject to review and change on a periodic basis. Such changes
are likely to be beyond the control of the Group and may adversely affect its operating and financial performance. At
present, the Group is not aware of any reviews or changes that would materially affect its business.

ThinkSmart Limited
Directors’ Report (continued)
The consumer credit industry is subject to extensive regulation, and companies operating in this sector are
generally required to obtain authorisation from the FCA
The industry in which the Group operates is subject to a range of legislation and regulations. The Financial Conduct
Authority (“FCA”) is the regulatory body responsible for the consumer credit industry in the UK. The Group’s activities
are regulated by a regulatory framework based on a combination of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and its
secondary legislation, the provisions of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 and the FCA Rules. The volume and demands of
regulation, and the regulatory scrutiny have increased since the transfer of regulatory powers from the Office of Fair
Trading to the FCA in 2014.
The Group operates in a competitive landscape
The industry in which the Group operates is competitive. Due to the price point of equipment at which the Group’s
Products are sold, there is a risk that ‘’competition’’ could arise for the Group from customers using their own cash, or
use of their credit cards to fund an outright purchase. The Group’s competitors include traditional finance providers, such
as banks, and other commercial finance companies (including ‘disruptive’ innovative finance companies) that provide, or
may seek to provide, retail point-of-sale finance. The price at which the Group’s competitors make finance available
(whether or not such competitors’ business models are sustainable) could result in a reduction in the number of lease
contracts the Group enters as well as reducing its margins.
The Group is dependent on information technology
The Group relies on information technology to process new lease contracts and the Group benefits from software
developed for this purpose. The successful operation of the Group’s business depends upon maintaining the integrity of
its computer, communication and information technology systems. These systems and operations are vulnerable to
damage, breakdown or interruption from events which are beyond the Group’s control, such as fire, flood and other
natural disasters; power loss or telecommunications or data network failures; improper or negligent operation of the
Group’s systems by employees, or unauthorised physical or electronic access; and interruptions to internet system
integrity. Any such damage or interruption could cause significant disruption to the operations of the Group, its ability to
trade and its reputation.
The Group’s growth strategy is reliant on third parties
A key aspect of the Group’s growth strategy is the expansion of its existing products into new equipment ranges and
partnerships with new retailers. While the Group will investigate the areas into which it intends to expand, there can be
no guarantee that it will be possible to successfully launch products in respect of new equipment ranges. Additionally, if
the Group forms relationships with new retail partners, there is a risk that any adverse change in the Group’s relationships
with these retail partners, or its inability to establish alternatives to these relationships in a timely and effective manner,
could adversely affect the Group’s business and results.
The Group is dependent on key personnel and an effective Board
The Group’s continued success depends on its ability to retain current key members of the senior management team, with
their experience and knowledge of the business. While the Group endeavours to retain key management personnel, there
can be no guarantee that its key management personnel will continue in their employment with the Group. Any loss of
key members of the senior management team would disrupt the Group’s operations and may also have a material adverse
effect on the Group’s operating and financial performance and prospects.
DIVIDENDS
At the AGM on 14 November 2018 shareholders approved a return of capital of up to AUD $8.0m with the final amount

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Principles of Corporate Governance
As a Board we recognise the importance of high standards of corporate governance and their importance and support to
our strategic goals and long-term success. The Company is listed on AIM and is therefore required to provide details of
a recognised corporate governance code that the Board of directors have decided to apply. We have, since listing,
acknowledged the importance of the principles set out in the Quoted Companies Alliance corporate governance code for
small and mid-sized companies 2013 (the QCA Code). This QCA Code was updated in April 2018 we believe that, with
the exception of principle 7, we apply the principles of the current QCA Code.
Deliver Growth
The Board has collective responsibility for setting the strategic aims and objectives of the Group. This strategy is set out
in the Group Strategy section of the Directors’ Report.
The Board also has responsibility for the Group’s internal control and risk management systems and structures. Our risk
management process is embedded into the business and starts at Board level but is delivered through the Group.
Dynamic Management Framework
As Chairman, I consider the operation of the Board as a whole and the performance of the directors individually regularly.
We have not, so far however, carried out a board performance evaluation so we have not complied with principle 7 of the
QCA Code which requires the Company to carry out a board performance evaluation.
Responsibility for the overall leadership of the Group and setting the Group’s values and standards sits with the Board.
We understand that these values influence and shape our business. Our Company values of being Accountable,
Straightforward, Challenging and operating with Dignity and Respect are taught to all employees and ensure the
customer is at the centre of everything we do. These values also ensure a unified culture and consistent behaviours across
our business.
Build Trust
During the year ThinkSmart has undertaken a number of investor relations activities. These include investor roadshows,
participation at investor conferences and attending other events where investors have the opportunity to meet and talk to
the Directors and senior management. During the year the Board has continued to review governance and the Group’s
corporate governance framework. We review our governance against the QCA Code annually as required by AIM
Rule 26.
Ned Montarello
Executive Chairman, 26 September 2019

ThinkSmart Limited
Directors’ Report (continued)
BOARD STRUCTURE AND OPERATION
The Board comprises two Executive Directors being Ned Montarello (Chairman) and Gary Halton (CFO), and three
Non-Executive Directors, being David Adams, Peter Gammell and Roger McDowell, whom the Board believe are
independent. It is considered that this gives the necessary mix of industry specific and broad business experience
necessary for the effective governance of the Group.
There are certain matters specifically reserved to the Board for its decision which includes approvals of the annual
budget, major expenditure and investments and key policies. Board meetings are held on a regular basis and effectively
no decision of any consequence is made other than by the Board. Directors also have ongoing contact on a variety of
issues between formal meetings. All Directors participate in the key areas of decision making, including the appointment
of new Directors. The agenda for the board meetings is prepared by the Company Secretary in consultation with the
Chairman and the Board.
The Board is responsible to shareholders for the proper management of the Group. The Non-Executive Directors have a
particular responsibility to ensure that the strategies proposed by the Executive Directors are fully considered. To enable
the Board to discharge its duties, all Directors have full and timely access to all relevant information. All Directors have
access to the Company Secretary. The Directors who served during the year, and a brief biography of each, is set out
on pages 4 and 5. The Board is supported in its work by Board Committees which are responsible for a variety of tasks
delegated by the Board.
Training and Development
Directors are encouraged to attend training and continuing professional development courses as required. The Company
Secretary provides updates at each Board meeting on governance and regulatory matters.
Time Commitment
The nature of the role of Non-Executive Directors makes it difficult to place a specific time commitment however, a
minimum of two days per month is what the Company anticipates as reasonable for the proper performance of duties.
Directors are expected to attend all Board and Committee meetings.
External Advisers
The Board seeks advice on various matters from its Nominated Adviser (Canaccord Genuity) and lawyers (Shoosmiths).
The Board also uses the services of an external company secretarial provider, Prism Cosec.
Board Evaluation
The Company does not currently comply with principle 7 of the QCA Code, which requires the Company to carry out a
formal Board performance evaluation. Given the changes to the Board during the year it has not been felt appropriate to
carry out an evaluation over this time. The Board will keep this under review and work towards compliance with this
principle.
Succession Planning
The Company through its Remuneration and Nomination Committee has a formal process in place for succession on the
Board and for Board appointments. When vacancies arise the Remuneration and Nomination Committee assesses the
skills and expertise already on the Board and any additional skills and expertise required. External head hunters are
appointed to search for appropriate candidates.

1 Resigned 27 June 2019
During the financial year, in addition to the official board meetings, the board has implemented a number of corporate
decisions by virtue of Circular Resolutions as required.
The Board has established an Audit Committee and a Nomination and Remuneration Committee, which each have
written terms of reference, to deal with specific aspects of the Group’s affairs. The terms of reference for each of these
committees is available on the Company’s website.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Audit Committee consists entirely of Non-Executive Directors. The Chairman, David Adams, has extensive financial
experience and is a Chartered Accountant. Other Members are Peter Gammell and Roger McDowell. The Audit
Committee meets as often as it deems necessary but in any case at least three times a year, with meetings scheduled at
appropriate intervals in the reporting and audit cycle. Although only members of the Committee have the right to attend
meetings, standing invitations are extended to the Executive Chairman and the Chief Financial Officer who attend
meetings as a matter of practice. Other non-members generally attend all or part of any meeting as and when appropriate.
The external auditors attend all meetings and also have the opportunity to meet in private with the Committee on each
occasion. In addition, the Chairman of the Audit Committee has regular contact with the external auditors throughout the
year.
Duties
The main duties of the Audit Committee are set out in its Terms of Reference and include the following:
• To engage in the pro-active oversight of the Company’s financial reporting and disclosure processes and
overseeing and reviewing the outputs of the process
• To monitor the integrity of the consolidated financial statements of the Company, including its annual and half-
year reports
• To review and challenge where necessary the consistency of and any changes to significant accounting policies,
whether the Company has followed appropriate accounting standards and made appropriate estimates and
judgements, the going concern assumption and all material information presented with the consolidated financial
statements
• Ensure procedures are in place which are designed to verify the existence and effectiveness of accounting and
financial systems and other systems of internal control which relate to financial risk management
• Establish procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding
accounting, internal controls and auditing matters and the procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission
of concerns by employees
• To consider and make recommendations to the Board, to be put to shareholders for approval at the Annual General
Meeting, in relation to the appointment, reappointment and removal of the Company’s external auditor
• To oversee the relationship with the external auditor including approval of their remuneration, approval of their
terms of engagement, annual assessment of their independence and objectivity taking into account relevant
13
ThinkSmart Limited
Directors’ Report (continued)
professional and regulatory requirements and the relationship with the auditor as a whole, including the provision
of any non-audit services
• To meet regularly with the external auditor and at least once a year, without any Executive Director or other
member of management present to discuss any issues arising from the audit
• To review and approve the Audit Plan and review the findings of the audit
The main activities of the Audit Committee during the year
The principal areas of focus for the Committee included the following items:
• Review of the audit plan, process and scope
• Review of significant risks
• Review of significant issues from the audit report
• Going concern review
• Review of the Annual and half year Reports
• Approval of management representation letter
• Review of the independence of the Auditor, review of Auditor fees and engagement letter
Role of the external auditor
The Audit Committee monitors the relationship with the external auditor, BDO (2018: KPMG), to ensure that auditor
independence and objectivity are maintained. As part of its review the Committee monitors the provision of non-audit
services by the external auditor. The breakdown of fees between audit and non-audit services is provided on page 24. The
Audit Committee also assess the auditor’s performance. Following the completion of a competitive tender process, the
Group has appointed BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd (“BDO”) as the Group’s new external auditor. BDO will conduct the audit
of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2019. Any proposal to re-appoint
BDO in respect of the financial year beginning 1 July 2019 will be subject to shareholder approval at the 2019 AGM.
Internal audit
At present the Company does not have an internal audit function. Given the current size of the Company and control
systems that are in place the Committee believes that there is sufficient management oversight to highlight any areas of
weaknesses in the financial reporting systems. The Committee will review the need for an internal function at least
annually.
INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROL
The Board acknowledges its responsibility for establishing and monitoring the Group’s systems of internal control.
Although no system of internal control can provide absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss, the Group’s
systems are designed to provide the Directors with reasonable assurance that problems are identified on a timely basis
and dealt with appropriately. The Group maintains a comprehensive process of financial reporting. The annual budget is
reviewed and approved before being formally adopted. Other key procedures that have been established and which are
designed to provide effective control are as follows:
Management structure – The Board meets regularly to discuss all issues affecting the Group.
Investment appraisal – The Group has a clearly defined framework for investment appraisal and approval is required by
the Board where appropriate.
The Board regularly reviews the effectiveness of the systems of internal control and considers the major business risks
and the control environment. No significant deficiencies have come to light during the year and no weakness in internal
financial control have resulted in any material losses, contingencies which would require disclosure as recommended by
the guidance for Directors on reporting on internal financial control.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is comprised of Peter Gammell (Chairman of the committee with effect
from 27 June 2019), David Adams and Roger McDowell. Keith Jones was Chairman of the committee during the year
ended 30 June 2019 until his resignation from the Board on 27 June 2019. The Committee is responsible for making
recommendations to the Board on the Group’s framework of Executive remuneration and its cost, and recommendations
on Board recruitment and succession planning. The Committee determines the contract terms, remuneration and other
benefits for each of the Executive Directors. The Board itself determines the remuneration of the Non-Executive

• The authority to appoint remuneration consultants and commission any reports or surveys required to fulfil its
remit;
• Approve the design of and determine the targets for any schemes of performance-related remuneration;

and that failure is not rewarded and that the duty to mitigate loss is fully recognised;
• Review the structure, size and composition (including the skills, knowledge, experience and diversity);
• Consider succession planning for directors and other senior executives in the course of its work, taking into
account the challenges and opportunities facing the Company, and what skills and expertise are therefore needed
on the Board in the future; and
15
ThinkSmart Limited
Directors’ Report (continued)
• Be responsible for identifying and nominating for the approval of the Board, candidates to fill board vacancies as
and when they arise.
ThinkSmart Limited is an Australian registered company and is not required to prepare a remuneration report that
complies with the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (the Act). However, in the interests of maintaining the high standards
of corporate governance to which the directors of ThinkSmart have committed, the following remuneration report has
been prepared voluntarily.
This Report details the remuneration arrangements for Key Management Personnel. Key Management Personnel
encompass all Directors and those Executives that have specific responsibility for planning, directing and controlling
material activities of the Group. In this report, “Executives” refers to the Key Management Personnel excluding the Non-
Executive Directors. This Report contains the following sections:
A: Principles of remuneration
B: Key Management Personnel remuneration
C: Service agreements
D: Share Plans
E. Share-Based Compensation
F: Bonus remuneration
G: Key Management Personnel transactions
A. Principles of Remuneration
Key Management Personnel have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the
Company and the Group and, for the year ended 30 June 2019, comprise:
Executive Directors
N Montarello – Executive Chairman & Interim Chief Executive Officer
G Halton – Chief Financial Officer
Non-Executive Directors
P Gammell
D Adams
R McDowell
K Jones (Deputy Chairman, resigned 27 June 2019)
The Board recognises that the Company’s performance depends upon the quality of its staff. To achieve its financial and
operating objectives, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled Directors and Executives. To this end,
the remuneration structure seeks to:
• Provide competitive rewards to attract, retain and motivate talented Directors and Executives;
• Align incentive rewards with the Company’s short term and long-term objectives by including a portion of
Executive remuneration “at risk” as short term and long-term incentives;
• Set demanding performance hurdles which are clearly linked to an Executive’s remuneration; and
• Structure remuneration at a level that reflects the Executive’s duties and responsibilities and is competitive within
the sector.
The remuneration structures take into account:
• the capability and experience of the individual;
• the individual’s ability to control the relevant segment’s performance; and
• the performance of the Group.
16
ThinkSmart Limited
Directors’ Report (continued)
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee may obtain independent advice on the appropriateness of remuneration
packages, trends in comparative companies and markets, both locally and internationally, and the objectives of the
Company’s remuneration strategy.
Remuneration packages include a mix of fixed and variable remuneration with a blend of short-term and long-term
performance- based incentives. The variable remuneration components are directly linked to both the performance of the
Group and the performance of the Company’s share price. This ensures close alignment of remuneration of Key
Management Personnel and the creation of shareholder value.
Non-Executive Directors
Fees and payments to Non-Executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on and the responsibilities of the
Non-Executive Directors. Non-Executive Directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board.
Non-Executive Directors do not receive share options or loan-funded shares.
Non-Executive Directors’ Fees
Non-Executive Directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate Directors’ fee pool of $600,000 per annum and were
approved by shareholders at a previous general meeting. The total fees paid in the financial year were £167,835. In
addition to these fees, Directors also receive superannuation contributions as required under government legislation. The
Company also pays all reasonable expenses incurred by Directors attending meetings and carrying out their duties.
Executive Pay
The Group’s executive remuneration structure has four components which comprise the Executive’s total remuneration:
• base pay and benefits;
• short-term performance incentives (STIs);
• long-term incentives through participation in the ThinkSmart Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIPs); and
• other remuneration such as superannuation.
Fixed Short-term Long-term
remuneration incentive incentive
CEO 68% 32% –
Other executives 57% 43% –
At risk
Base Pay – Fixed Compensation
Executives are offered a competitive salary that comprises the components of base pay and benefits. Base pay for
Executives is reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee or the Executive Chairman to ensure
the Executive’s pay is competitive with the market and appropriate to the Executive’s experience, responsibilities and
contribution. An Executive’s pay is also reviewed on promotion. Base pay for the Executive Chairman is reviewed
periodically by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
Short-Term Performance Incentive
Short-term performance incentives (STIs) vary according to individual contracts, however, for Executives they are
broadly based as follows:
• a component of the STI is linked to the individual performance of the Executive (this is based on a number of
factors, including performance against budgets, achievement of key performance indicators (KPIs) and other
personal objectives); and
• a component of the STI is linked to the financial performance of the Group determined at the beginning of each
financial year.
Using various performance targets and personal performance objectives the Group ensures variable reward is only paid
when value has been created for shareholders. The performance measures include financial, such as Profit before Tax and
the value of new originations, and non-financial, including KPIs targeting high levels of customer service and new retail
partner acquisition. The STI bonus is delivered in the form of cash.
17
ThinkSmart Limited
Directors’ Report (continued)
The short-term bonus payments may be adjusted up or down in line with under or over achievement against the target
performance levels. This is at the discretion of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee or the Executive Chairman.
The STI targets are reviewed annually. Information on the STI is detailed in section F of the Remuneration Report.
Long-Term Performance Incentive
Long-term performance incentives are awarded to Key Management Personnel and other Executives. In May 2012,
shareholders approved a Long Term Incentive Plan designed to increase the motivation of staff and to create a stronger
link between increasing shareholder value and employee award. This Long Term Incentive Plan was then updated in
December 2016 following admission to AIM to be measured against Group EPS. The details of these schemes are set out
in the Remuneration Report.
Consequences of Performance on Shareholder Wealth
In considering the Group’s performance and benefits for shareholder wealth, the Nomination and Remuneration
committee have regard to the following indices in respect of the current financial year and the previous three financial
years.

ThinkSmart Limited
Directors’ Report (continued)
C. Service Agreements
A service agreement can be used for the provision of short-term performance incentives, eligibility for the ThinkSmart
LTI and other benefits, including the use of a Company motor vehicle, tax advisory fees, payment of benefits forgone at
a previous employer and relocation expenses.
Remuneration and other terms of employment for the Chief Executive Officer are formalised in a service agreement. All
employment agreements are unlimited in term but capable of termination with one to six months’ notice by either the
Company or the Executive. The Company can make a payment in lieu of notice of an amount equal to the monthly
instalment of basic salary for any unexpired period of notice.
In the event of retrenchment, the Executives listed on page 16 are entitled to the payment provided for in the service
agreement, where applicable. The employment of the Executives may be terminated by the Company without notice by
payment in lieu of notice. The service agreements also contain confidentiality and restraint of trade clauses.
D. Share Plans
Long Term Incentive Plan
In May 2012 the Company adopted a Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) for executives and key staff. The LTIP is a loan-
funded share plan under which, broadly, the Board can invite participants to take up the opportunity to be issued Ordinary
Shares (“Plan Shares”).
No consideration is payable by participants in the LTIP at the time Plan Shares are issued. Instead, the purchase price for
the Plan Shares is 100% funded by a loan provided by the Company. The Plan Shares are issued to and held by a trustee
on trust for the participants until the Plan Shares vest and the loan is repaid, or beyond that point at the election of the
participants.
Loans under the LTIP are limited recourse, in that participants’ liability is limited to the lesser of the outstanding loan
value and the value of the Ordinary Shares. The loans are interest free. They are repayable in full on the earlier of 5 years
after the date of issue, or the date on which the participant disposes of their Plan Shares.
The Plan Shares vest subject to the continued employment of participants for 3 years from the date of issue and subject
to the satisfaction of any performance conditions attached to the Plan Shares by the Board at the time of issue. Under the
rules of the LTIP, the Board also has the discretion to determine that unvested Plan Shares vest where a participant’s
employment ceases in certain circumstances before the expiry of the 3 year period.
The LTIP was intended for participation by Australian-based executives only. Accordingly, there are no Plan Shares
currently on issue. The last 250,000 plan shares were held by Ned Montarello and were exercised on 03 July 2018. It is
not currently intended that further Plan Shares will be issued given that, from Admission, all of the Company’s executives
(except for Ned Montarello) will be UK-based. The vesting of the Plan Shares held by Ned Montarello is conditional on
the performance of the Ordinary Shares during the relevant performance period. If at any time during the relevant
performance period the 30 day volume-weighted average price of the Company’s shares exceeds the relevant target price,
a percentage of the Plan Shares as set out below will vest at the end of the relevant performance period.
Loan funded shares held by Ned Montarello
Number Target price for vesting Exercise Last date
of shares Performance period 25% 25% 50% price for exercise
– Vested – – – £0.1559 03/07/18*
*
The loan has been repaid by Ned Montarello prior to 3 July 2018 and therefore the 250,000 shares have been exercised.
Executive Option Plan
The Company has had in place since 2007 an Employee Share Option Plan (“ESO Plan”) under which it may issue
options (“Plan Options”) to eligible participants. Eligible participants in the ESO Plan are employees or executive
directors of the Group.
Plan Options may be issued with a corresponding exercise price and/or a fee for grant of the Plan Options. The Board
determines the expiry date, conditions of exercise of the Plan Options and other terms and conditions at the time the Plan
Options are granted. Plan Options may carry any conditions precedent to their exercise as may be determined by the
20
ThinkSmart Limited
Directors’ Report (continued)
Board, and, unless any such conditions are satisfied, the Company is not obliged to issue any shares in respect of the Plan
Options to their holder. Plan Options expire on the earliest of:
• their expiry date;
• their holder purporting to transfer them in a manner not in accordance with the ESO Plan;
• the Board determining that the participant has acted fraudulently, dishonestly or in breach of their obligations to
the Company;
• the participant ceasing to be an eligible participant, except in the case of:
• the death of the participant, in which case their legal personal representatives may exercise the Plan Options at
any time until they otherwise lapse (where no conditions were placed on the exercise of the Plan Options or the
conditions had been met) or within one month of the date of death (where any condition placed on the exercise of
the Plan Options had not been met); or
• the cessation of employment of the participant, in which case the Plan Options may be exercised within
one month;
• the Company becoming the target of a successful takeover bid of a kind specified in the ESO Plan, in which case
the Plan Options will lapse after 30 days from the date of a notice given for this purpose by the Board;
• any failure to meet a condition placed by the Board on the exercise of the Plan Options in the prescribed period;
or
• the date 10 years after the Plan Options were granted.
Plan Options do not give their holders any right to participate in the issue of new securities by the Company, including
as part of a bonus or rights issue, subject to the Board’s discretion.
There are no Plan Options currently on issue, as set out in the table below. The vesting conditions of the Plan Options on
issue in the prior year were not met and therefore the options have lapsed.
Number of Target price for vesting Exercise Last date
plan options Performance period 25% 25% 50% price for exercise
– Vested – – – £0.1559 03/07/18*
* The 125,000 options were not exercised and therefore have lapsed in the year.
Non-Executive Director Share Plan
In April 2009, the Company adopted a Non-Executive Director Share Plan (“NED Plan”). The NED Plan allows
Non-Executive Directors of the Company to elect to sacrifice part of their directors’ fees to acquire Ordinary Shares
rather than receiving all of their fees in cash.
New Long Term Incentive Plan
The Company adopted a new long term incentive plan from December 2016 to align the interests of senior management
with those of the Shareholders. The New LTIP allows the Company to either grant options over Ordinary Shares or make
conditional awards over Ordinary Shares to selected employees of the Group.
The options are subject to the performance condition set out below and will normally be exercisable on or after the
Vesting Date to the extent that the performance condition has been satisfied. The options will normally lapse and cease
to be exercisable on the 10th anniversary of the Date of Grant.
It is a condition of exercise of the Award that the Participant agrees to pay the Company or any person nominated for this
purpose an amount equal to the Tax Liability. In addition there is a condition of exercise of the Award for the Participant
to enter into a NIC Agreement to pay Employers’ NIC on gains in excess of 100% of the award value at the date of grant.
Vesting of 75% of the Shares over which the Award has been granted (rounded down to the nearest whole number) will
be subject to the satisfaction of EPS Condition 1 (these Shares are referred to as the “Shares subject to EPS Condition 1”)
and Vesting of the balance of the Shares over which the Award has been granted will be subject to the satisfaction of EPS
Condition 21 (these Shares are referred to as the “Shares subject to EPS Condition 2”).

ThinkSmart Limited
Directors’ Report (continued)
Earnings per share condition 1
• If the growth in EPS over the Performance Period is less than 15% the Award shall lapse in respect of all of the
Shares subject to EPS Condition 1.
• If the growth in EPS over the Performance Period is equal to 15% (“Lower Target 1”) the Award shall Vest in
respect of 25% of the Shares subject to EPS Condition (rounded down to the nearest whole number).
• If the growth in EPS over the Performance Period is equal to or greater than 50% (“Upper Target 1”) the award
shall Vest in respect of 100% of the Shares subject to EPS Condition 1.
• If the growth in EPS over the Performance Period falls between Lower Target 1 and Upper Target 1 the award
shall Vest on a straight line basis between 25% and 100% of the Shares subject to EPS Condition 1 (rounded down
to the nearest whole number).
Earnings per share condition 2
• If the growth in Non Dixons EPS over the Performance Period is less than 15% the Award shall lapse in respect
of all of the Shares subject to EPS Condition 2.
• If the growth in Non Dixons EPS over the Performance Period is equal to 15% (“Lower Target 2”) the Award shall
Vest in respect of 25% of the Shares subject to EPS Condition 2 (rounded down to the nearest whole number).
• If the growth in Non Dixons EPS over the Performance Period is equal to or greater than 50% (“Upper Target 2”)
the award shall Vest in respect of 100% of the Shares subject to EPS Condition 2.
• If the growth in Non Dixons EPS over the Performance Period falls between Lower Target 2 and Upper Target 2
the award shall Vest on a straight line basis between 25% and 100% of the Shares subject to EPS Condition 2
(rounded down to the nearest whole number).
There are currently 1,757,352 of the above Plan Options currently on issue, as set out in the table below.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

NON-AUDIT SERVICES
As of 1 July 2019 KPMG LLP resigned as company auditor by notice to the Company under 329(5) of the Corporations
Act 2001 (Cth) following consent from the ASIC. Following the completion of a competitive tender process, ThinkSmart
has appointed BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd (“BDO”) as the Company’s new external auditor. BDO will conduct the audit
of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2019.
During the year BDO have not provided any services to ThinkSmart prior to conducting the audit of the financial
statements for the year ended 30 June 2019, this includes any non-audit services.
During the year KPMG, the outgoing Company auditor, has performed certain other services in addition to their statutory
duties.
The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by KPMG and is satisfied that the provision
of those non-audit services during the year is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
• All non-audit services are subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Company and have been
reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the
auditor; and
• The non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set
out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the
auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Company, acting as an advocate
for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards.
Details of the amounts paid or payable and expensed to KPMG and its related practices or BDO in respect of audit and
non-audit services provided during or in respect of the year are set out below.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1. General Information
ThinkSmart Limited (the “Company” or “ThinkSmart”) is a limited liability company incorporated in Australia.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”).
The Group is a for profit entity and its principal activity during the year was the provision of lease and rental
financing services in the UK. The address of the Company’s registered office is Suite 5, 531 Hay Street Subiaco,
WA 6008, Australia and further information can be found at www.thinksmartworld.com.
2. Basis of Preparation
(a) Statement of compliance
The Company is listed on the Alternative Investment Market (“AIM”), a sub-market of the London Stock
Exchange. The financial information has been prepared in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies and in
accordance with this basis of preparation, including the significant accounting policies set out below.
The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared and
approved by the Directors in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the
Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporation Act 2001. The consolidated financial
statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (AASB) adopted by the International
Accounting Standards Board (AASB) as well as International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the
EU (“Adopted AASBs”). The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of
Directors on 26 September 2019.
(b) Basis of measurement
The financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for derivative financial instruments
measured at fair value. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All
amounts are presented in British Pounds (“GBP”) unless otherwise noted.
(c) Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in British Pounds, which is the Group’s functional currency.
The Group is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument
2016/191b and in accordance with that instrument, amounts in the consolidated financial statements and directors’
report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand pounds, unless otherwise stated.
(d) Going Concern
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, as the Directors are satisfied that the
Group has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future (which has been taken as 12 months
from the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements). In making this assessment, the Directors
have considered a wide range of information relating to present and future conditions, including the current state
of the statement of financial position, future projections of profitability, cash flows and resources and the longer
term strategy of the business.
(e) Accounting policies available for early adoption not yet adopted
AASB 16 is the only new standard for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2019 and has not been applied in
preparing this financial report. The Group has not adopted this standard early with the first implementation
effective for the next financial year.

Impact on Group financial report
The Group currently only leases its
office and one company vehicle
due for return in September 2019.
The office lease is shown in
note 21. At the time of preparing
this report the Group has assessed
that there will be no significant
impact due to the adoption of
AASB 16 in future periods.

Title
Summary
AASB 16
Leases
Replaces AASB17, the
standard
introduces a
single lessee accounting
model and requires a
lessee to recognise assets
and liabilities for all leases
with a term of more than
12 months, unless the
underlying asset is of low
value. A lessee is required
to recognise a right-of-use
asset representing its right
to use the underlying
leased asset and a lease
liability representing its
obligation to make lease
payments.
3. Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated
financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Group has adopted all of the new or amended International Financial Reporting Standards that are mandatory
for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early
adopted.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the Group:
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
The Group has adopted AASB 9 in the current year applying the full retrospective transition approach with the date
of initial application being 1 July 2018. The standard introduced new classification and measurement models for
financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose
objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified dates and that are solely
principal and interest. A debt investment shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is
held within a business model whose objective is to both hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which
arise on specified dates that are solely principal and interest as well as selling the asset on the basis of its fair value.
All other financial assets are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an
irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-
trading or contingent consideration recognised in a business combination) in other comprehensive income (‘OCI’).
Despite these requirements, a financial asset may be irrevocably designated as measured at fair value through profit
or loss to reduce the effect of, or eliminate, an accounting mismatch. For financial liabilities designated at fair value
through profit or loss, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity’s own
credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting
requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management activities of the
entity. New impairment requirements use an ‘expected credit loss’ (‘ECL’) model to recognise an allowance.
Impairment is measured using a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased
significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. For receivables, a simplified
approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected loss allowance is available.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Group has adopted AASB 15 in the current year applying the full retrospective transition approach with the
date of initial application being 1 July 2018. The standard provides a single comprehensive model for revenue
recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity shall recognise revenue to depict the transfer of
promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects
to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard introduced a new contract-based revenue
recognition model with a measurement approach that is based on an allocation of the transaction price. This is
described further in the accounting policies below. Credit risk is presented separately as an expense rather than
adjusted against revenue. Contracts with customers are presented in an entity’s statement of financial position as
a contract liability, a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity’s
performance and the customer’s payment. Customer acquisition costs and costs to fulfil a contract can, subject to
certain criteria, be capitalised as an asset and amortised over the contract period.
The impact on the financial performance and position of the Group from the adoption of these Accounting
Standards is detailed in note 32.
(a) Basis of consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities
controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has
rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns
through its power over the entity. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are
included in the consolidated statement of profit and loss from the effective date of acquisition or up to the
effective date of disposal, as appropriate. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when
necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group.
(ii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting
policies in line with those applied by other members of the Group. All intra-group balances, transactions,
income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.
(b) Business combinations
For every business combination, the Group identifies the acquirer, which is the combining entity that obtains
control of the other combining entities or businesses. The acquisition date is the date on which control is
transferred to the acquirer. Judgement is applied in determining the acquisition date and determining whether
control is transferred from one party to another.
Measuring goodwill
The Group measures goodwill as the fair value of consideration transferred including the recognised amount of
any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, less the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured as of the acquisition date. Consideration
transferred includes the fair values of the asset transferred, liabilities incurred by the Group to the previous owners
of the acquiree, and equity interests issued by the Group. Consideration transferred also includes the fair value of
any contingent consideration and share-based payment awards of the acquiree that are replaced mandatorily in the
business combination.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(c) Revenue recognition
The Group recognises revenue as follows:
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled
in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group:
identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the
transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money;
allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone
selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance
obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.
Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as
discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events.
Such estimates are determined using either the ‘expected value’ or ‘most likely amount’ method. The measurement of
variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that
it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The
measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently
resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are recognised as a contract liability.
Some forms of revenue fall outside the scope of AASB 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers, of relevance
to ThinkSmart this includes revenue under AASB 117 Leases (AASB 16 for year ended 30 June 2020) and
AASB 9 Financial Instruments (previously AASB 139).
The Group has relationships with retail partners to act as a facilitator and arranger of financing arrangements to
allow those retailers to provide technological products to consumers under short/medium term finance contracts.
The financing is obtained by the Group from third party funding partners.
Depending on the nature of the agreements with those funders, these contracts result in the Group acting as a
lessor or as the agent of the funder (who is then the lessor).
Where the Group is acting as the lessor it follows the treatment outlined in AASB 117. In accordance with
AASB 117 nearly all the contracts are considered to be finance leases and the only source of revenue is Finance
Lease Income. This Finance Lease Income is recognised on the effective interest rate method at the constant rate
of return. This method amortises the lease asset over its economic life down to the estimate of any unguaranteed
residual value that is expected to be accrued to the Group at the end of the lease.
Where the Group is acting as the agent it receives the following revenue streams:
Commission income
This includes the upfront cash transaction fee receivable from the funder together with the non-cash consideration
between the funder and the end customer (for the contract or inertia asset) which is allocated under AASB 15
between the inception/brokerage of the lease arrangement, a financial guarantee contract premium over the lease
term, a contract liability reflecting the reversal constraint for the potential refund of the transaction fee, and the
non-cash consideration contract asset accruing over the lease term.
Extended rental income
Once the contract between the funder and the end customer expires the asset becomes the property of the Group
and any extended rental income is payable to the Group, being recognised when receivable.
Income earned from sale of inertia assets
At the end of the extended rental period any proceeds on disposal of the asset are recognised at the point of disposal.
Services revenue – insurance
Lease customers of hire agreements originated by the Group are required to have suitable insurance in respect of
the leased equipment. If these customers do not make independent insurance arrangements the Group arrange
insurance and collect the premiums on their behalf, receiving a commission from the insurer for doing so.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(d) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with an original maturity of less than 3 months. Cash
equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily converted to known amounts of cash which
are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Restricted cash comprises amounts held in trust in relation
to dividends paid on employee loan funded shares.
(e) Plant and equipment
Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Purchased
software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. When
parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives they are accounted for as separate
items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property,
plant and equipment is determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the
property, plant and equipment, and is recognised net within other income/other expenses in profit or loss.
Depreciation
Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual assets
are assessed and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of the asset, that component
is depreciated separately. Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated
useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment. The following estimated useful lives
are used in the calculation of depreciation:
•
•
Office furniture, fittings, equipment and computers
3 to 5 years
Leasehold improvements
the lease term
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date.
(f) Customer acquisition costs
Customer acquisition costs are capitalised as an asset where such costs are incremental to obtaining a contract
between the funder and the end customer, for which the Group receives commission under the funder contract,
and are expected to be recovered. Customer acquisition costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the term
of the contract.
Costs to obtain a contract that would have been incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained or which
are not otherwise recoverable from a customer are expensed as incurred to profit or loss. Incremental costs of
obtaining a contract where the contract term is less than one year is immediately expensed to profit or loss.
(g) Trade and other payables
Trade payables are recognised when the consolidated entity becomes obliged to make future payments resulting
from the purchase of goods and services and measured at fair value.
(h) Financial instruments
In the year ended 30 June 2019 the Group has adopted the new accounting standard AASB 9 – Financial
Instruments replaces AASB 139. The objective of AASB 9 is to provide users of the financial statements with
relevant information on future cash flows generated by financial assets or liabilities. The three areas of focus for
AASB 9 are: Classification and Measurement, Credit Losses, and Hedge Accounting. The financial instruments
that the group holds are primarily lease contracts which are accounted for under AASB 117 (AASB 16 from 2019)
and financial instruments held at fair value through profit or loss. The financial instruments held at FVTPL include
the Financial Guarantee Contract with STB, 125,000 shares in Afterpay Touch Group and the 10% holding in
ClearPay Finance Limited. It is the assessment of the management that there has been no material impact of the
change in standard.
36
ThinkSmart Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(h) Financial instruments (continued)
(i) Non-derivative financial assets
The Group initially recognises loans and receivables and deposits on the date that they are originated. All
other financial assets (including assets designated at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised
initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument.
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset
expire, or it transfers the right to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction
in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any
interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate
asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of
financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either
to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and
allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly
discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or, where
appropriate, a shorter period.
Lease receivables
The Group has entered into financing transactions with customers and has classified nearly all of its leases
as finance leases for accounting purposes. Under a finance lease, substantially all the risks and benefits
incidental to the ownership of the leased asset are transferred by the lessor to the lessee. The Group
recognises at the beginning of the lease minimum term an asset at an amount equal to the aggregate of the
present value (discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease) of the minimum lease payments and an
estimate of the value of any unguaranteed residual value expected to accrue to the benefit of the Group at
the end of the minimum lease term. This asset represents the Group’s net investment in the lease.
Unearned finance lease income
Unearned finance lease income on leases and other receivables is brought to account over the life of the
lease contract based on the interest rate implicit in the lease using the effective interest rate method.
Initial direct transaction income and costs
Initial direct income/costs or directly attributable, incremental transaction income/costs incurred in the
origination of leases are included as part of receivables on the balance sheet and are amortised in the
calculation of lease income and interest income.
Allowance for expected credit losses
The collectability of lease receivables is assessed on an ongoing basis. A provision is made for expected
credit losses using the simplified approach of measuring expected credit losses on a lifetime expected credit
loss basis (refer note 3(g)(iii)).
Insurance prepayment
In relation to business customers who do not already have insurance, a policy is set up through a third party
insurance provider. The Group pays for the insurance cover upfront and also recognises its income upfront
which creates an insurance prepayment on the statement of financial position. The Group subsequently
collects the insurance premium from the customer on a monthly basis over the life of the rental agreement,
which reduces the prepayment. Where a policy is cancelled, the unexpired premiums are refunded to the
Group.
37
ThinkSmart Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(h) Financial instruments (continued)
Other financial assets
Other financial assets are initially valued 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 assets are held and the contractual cash flow
characteristics of the financial asset.
(ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities
The Group initially recognises financial liabilities on the date they are originated. The Group derecognises
a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.
Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate method.
Transaction costs consist of legal and other costs that are incurred in connection with the borrowing of
funds. These costs are capitalised and then amortised over the life of the loan.
Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantees issued by the Group are recognised as financial liabilities at the date the guarantee is
issued. Liabilities arising from financial guarantee contracts, are initially recognised at fair value and
subsequently at the higher of the amount of expected credit losses determined under AASB 9 and the
amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation.
The fair value of the financial guarantee is determined by way of calculating the present value of the
difference in net cash flows between the contractual payments under the debt instrument and the payments
that would be required without the guarantee, or the estimated amount that would be payable to a third
party for assuming the obligation. Any increase in the liability relating to financial guarantees is
recognised. Any liability remaining is derecognised in profit or loss when the guarantee is discharged,
cancelled or expires.
(iii) Impairment of assets
Financial assets, including finance lease receivables and loan receivables
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either
measured at amortised cost or fair value through profit or loss. The measurement of the loss allowance
depends upon the Group’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 lease receivables the Group applies the simplified approach as such the loss allowance is based on the
asset’s lifetime expected credit losses.
For financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is
recognised within other comprehensive income. In all other cases, the loss allowance in excess of amounts
previously recognised is recognised in profit or loss.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(h) Financial instruments (continued)
Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets,
are reviewed at 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. For goodwill and intangible assets that
have indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated at each
reporting date.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value
less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present
value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks
specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest
group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash
inflows of other assets or Group of assets (the “cash-generating unit”). The goodwill acquired in a business
combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected
to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its
recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in
respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the
unit (Group of units) on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses
recognised in the prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has
decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates
used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s
carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation
or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
(i) Intangible assets
Intellectual property
Intellectual property is recorded at the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired,
and is amortised on a straight line basis over 20 years.
Contract Rights
The contractual rights obtained by the Group under financing agreements entered into with its funding partners
and operating agreements with its retail partners constitute intangible assets with finite useful lives. These contract
rights are recognised initially at cost and amortised over their expected useful lives. In relation to funder contract
rights, the expected useful life is the earlier of the initial contract minimum term or expected period until facility
limit is reached. At each reporting date a review for indicators of impairment is conducted.
Software development
Software development costs are capitalised only up to the point when the software has been tested and is ready
for use in the manner intended by management. Software development expenditure is capitalised only if the
development costs can be measured reliably, the product process is technically and commercially feasible, future
economic benefits are probable, and the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development
and to use or sell the asset. The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of direct labour and overhead costs that
are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. The intangible asset is amortised on a straight
line basis over its estimated useful life, which is between 3 and 5 years. Capitalised software development
expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
(j) Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at its cost, being the excess of the cost of the
business combination over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and
contingent liabilities recognised. Goodwill is subsequently measured at its cost less any impairment losses.

or Group’s of CGUs, expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. CGUs (or Group’s of
CGUs) to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or
changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired.
If the recoverable amount of the CGU (or group of CGUs) is less than the carrying amount of the CGU (or group
of CGUs), the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the
CGU (or group of CGUs) and then to the other assets of the CGU (or group of CGUs) pro-rata on the basis of the
carrying amount of each asset in the CGU (or CGUs). The impairment loss recognised for goodwill is recognised
immediately in profit or loss and is not reversed in the subsequent period.
On disposal of an operation within a CGU, the attributable goodwill is included in the determination of profit or
loss on disposal of the operation.
(k) Employee benefits
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries and annual leave when
it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.
The Group pays defined contributions for post-employment benefit into a separate entity. Obligations for
contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss
in the period during which services are rendered by employees. Termination benefits are recognised as an expense
when the Group is committed, it is probable that settlement will be required, and they are capable of being reliably
measured.
Share-based payments
The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as an employee
expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become
entitled to the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which
the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately
recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that do meet the related service and non-market
performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the
grant date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for
differences between expected and actual outcomes.
(l) Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to issue of ordinary shares and
share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
(m) Income tax
Current tax
Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the
taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax payable for current and prior periods is recognised as a
liability to the extent that it is unpaid. Carried forward tax recoverable on tax losses is recognised as a deferred
tax asset where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available to offset in future periods.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet method in respect of temporary differences arising from
differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the
corresponding tax base of those items.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(m) Income tax (continued)
In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are
recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available against which
deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax assets
and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them arise from the initial recognition
of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither taxable income nor
accounting profit. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not recognised in relation to taxable temporary
differences arising from goodwill.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and
joint ventures except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable
that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with these investments and interests
are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to
utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) when
the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects
the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Consolidated Entity expects, at the reporting
date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority
and the Company/Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when it relates to items
credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or where
it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is taken into account in the
determination of goodwill or excess purchase consideration.
(n) Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (VAT/GST) except:
(i) where the amount of VAT/GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as
part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; and
(ii) receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of VAT/GST.
The net amount of VAT/GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of
receivables or payables. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The VAT/GST
component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to,
the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows.
(o) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at
exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The
foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional
currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the
amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the period.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are
retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined.
Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange
rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are presented in profit or
loss on a net basis, except for differences arising on the retranslation of a financial liability designated as a hedge
of the net investment in a foreign operation that is effective, which are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(p) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company,
excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into
account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary
shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to
dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(q) 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 estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligations. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a rate that reflects current
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
(r) Lease payments
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the minimum
term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the
minimum term of the lease. Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the
finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period
during the minimum lease term so as to produce a constant period rate of interest on the remaining balance of the
liability.
(s) Measurement of fair values
A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both
financial and non- financial assets and liabilities. When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the
Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value
hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised in different levels of the
fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value
hierarchy as the highest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during
which the change has occurred.
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the following notes:
Note 21(b)(i) – share based payment transactions; and
Note 27(b) – financial instruments.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
4. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and
estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its
judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including
expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting
accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results.
The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Revenue from contracts with customers
When recognising revenue in relation to the provision of services to customers, the key performance obligation of
the consolidated entity is considered to be the point of delivery of the service to the customer, as this is deemed
to be the time that the customer obtains the benefits and control of the service.
Principal vs agent
Judgement is exercised in relation to certain services that the group is providing in relation to leases entered in to
by an end customer with the lessor (STB) as to whether the group is acting as principal in the arrangement or as
agent. Management have determined that having regard to the contractual conditions with STB and the rights
attaching to consumer contracts for the leases entered in to by the end customer with STB that the group is acting
as agent and records commission income from STB.
Financial guarantee contract
Financial guarantee contracts are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently at the higher of the amount of
expected credit losses determined under AASB 9 and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation.
The fair value of the financial guarantee is a key estimate and is determined by way of calculating the present
value of the difference in net cash flows between the contractual payments under the debt instrument and the
payments that would be required without the guarantee, or the estimated amount that would be payable to a third
party for assuming the obligation. This has been determined from historic data and forward looking estimates to
determine expected default rates. This fair value determines a financial guarantee premium which is recognised
as revenue over the term of the lease between the end customer and STB.
Determination of variable consideration
Judgement is exercised in estimating variable consideration which is determined having regard to past experience
with respect to the expected default rates where the customer (STB) has the right to clawback from the group’s
commission income any amount of default on lease payments due from the end customer under the financial
guarantee contract. Revenue in respect of this amount of commission income will only be recognised to the extent
that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised under the
contract will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
Contract right income
A contract asset is recognised where the Group act as agent for the lessor (STB) during an end customer’s
minimum lease term with STB and the Group have a contractual right to an inertia asset at the end of this
minimum lease term. Contract assets are recognised as revenue accruing over the minimum lease term up to the
fair value of the inertia asset at the end of that minimum lease term. The fair value is determined based on available
market data regarding expected returns for a similar risk asset and discounted using a credit risk rate.
Estimation of useful lives of assets
The consolidated entity 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.

A. Judgements
Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the
amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements is included in the following notes:
Note 6 – commission income: whether the Group acts as an agent in the transaction rather than as principal; and
Note 9 – leases: whether an arrangement contains a finance lease.
B. Assumptions and estimation uncertainties
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount
of assets and liabilities within the next financial period are discussed below:
Note 12 – measurement of contract asset non-cash consideration

Note 17 – measurement of the recoverable amount of cash generating units containing goodwill; and
Note 21(b)(i) – measurement of share-based payments.

5. Financial Risk Management
Overview
The Group has exposure to the following risks from the use of financial instruments:
• Credit risk
• Liquidity risk
• Market risk
• Operational risk
This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, the objectives, policies and
processes for measuring and managing financial risks, and the management of capital. Further quantitative
disclosures are included throughout this financial report.
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management
framework. The Board has established the Audit and Risk Committee, which is responsible for developing and
monitoring risk management policies. The Committee reports to the Board of Directors on its activities.
Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate
limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are
reviewed to reflect the changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Audit and Risk Committee
oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s risk management policies and procedures and
reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group.
Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty or customer will default on its contractual obligations resulting in
financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties as
a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Chief Financial Officer and Financial Controller
have day to day responsibility for managing credit risk within the risk appetite of the Board. Appropriate oversight
occurs via monthly credit performance reporting to management and the Board.
The trading subsidiaries have an obligation to meet the cost of future bad debts incurred by its funders. The funder
deposits discussed below represent security for that credit exposure. Further information is provided in Note 27(c).

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
5. Financial Risk Management (continued)
Credit Risk (continued)
To manage credit risk in relation to its customers, there is a credit assessment and fraud minimisation process
delivered through its patented SmartCheck system. The credit underwriting system uses a combination of credit
scoring and credit bureau reports as well as electronic identity verification and a review of an applicant’s details
against a fraud database. The credit policy is developed by the Head of Credit Risk and applied by the Credit Risk
Committee with Board approval. The Head of Credit Risk monitors ongoing credit performance on different
cohorts of customer contracts. In addition there exists a specialist collections function to manage any delinquent
accounts.
Credit risk exposure to the funder deposit with Secure Trust Bank is more concentrated, however the counterparty
is a regulated banking institution and the credit risk exposure is assessed as low. The Group monitors the credit
risk associated with the funder deposit counterparty.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The
Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity
to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses
or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining
adequate reserve facilities by continuously reviewing its facilities and cash flows. The Group ensures that it has
sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses and financing subordination requirements. In
addition, the Group maintains the operational facilities which are shown in note 20.
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 the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk
management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising
return.
Currency risk
The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk is limited to the cash balances held by the Australian parent
ThinkSmart Limited denominated in Australian Dollars.
Interest rate risk
As at 30 June 2019 the Group has drawn down £0.1m on its Santander loan facility of £10m which is in run off
until September 2019. The Group has also drawn down £2.4m on its STB loan facility of £10m. Exposure to
interest rate risk on any corporate borrowings will be assessed by the Board and, where appropriate, the exposure
to movement in interest rates may be hedged by entering into interest rate swaps, when considered appropriate by
management and the Board.
Operational risk
Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss arising from a wide variety of causes associated with the
Group’s processes, personnel, technology and infrastructure, and from external factors other than credit, market
and liquidity risks such as those arising from legal and regulatory requirements and generally accepted standards
of corporate behaviour. Operational risks arise from all of the Group’s operations.
The primary responsibility for the development and implementation of controls to address operational risk is
assigned to senior management within each business unit. This responsibility is supported by the development of
overall group standards for the management of operational risk in the following areas:
• Requirements for appropriate segregation of duties, including the independent authorisation of
transactions;
• Requirements for the reconciliation and monitoring of transactions;
• Compliance with regulatory and other legal requirements;
45
ThinkSmart Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
5. Financial Risk Management (continued)
Operational risk (continued)
• Documentation of controls and procedures;
• Requirements for the periodic assessment of operational risks faced, and the adequacy of controls and
procedures to address the risks identified;
• Ethical and business standards; and
• Risk mitigation, including insurance where this is effective.
Concentration risk
The Company’s main retail distribution partner in the UK is Dixons Carphone plc and contracts for both business
sales and consumer sales are in place until at least 2020, with the consumer “Flexible Leasing” contract being
exclusive. Should Dixons cease trading or terminate the contracts, turnover would be reduced until alternative
distribution partners were found.
Capital management
The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence
and to sustain future development of the business. Management aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures
the lowest cost of capital available to the Group. Management constantly reviews the capital structure to ensure it
achieves this objective. The Group’s debt-to-adjusted capital ratio at the end of the reporting period was as
follows:
Restated
30 June 2019 30 June 2018
£,000 £,000

Net (cash)/debt (1,079) 7,346
Total capital 16,574 12,244
Debt-to-adjusted capital ratio (0.07) 0.60
For the purposes of capital management, capital consists of share capital, reserves and retained earnings.
The Board assesses the Group’s ability to pay dividends on a periodic basis. At the AGM on 14 November 2018
shareholders approved a return of capital of up to AUD $8.0m with the final amount and timing to be determined
by the directors of the company. On 5 March 2019 the Group announced that the Company would distribute
AUD $7,999,751.44 to shareholders (the “Distribution”) in two parts:
1. a capital reduction, pursuant to which the Company will return 3.772 cents per share (or depositary
interest) to shareholders (or depositary interest holders) (“Return of Capital”); and
2. a special dividend of 3.772 cents per ordinary share (or depositary interest) – 0.440 cents of which will be
fully franked, with the remaining 3.332 cents declared as attaching conduit foreign income (“Dividend”).
The return of capital and dividend have a record date of 15 March 2019 and were paid on 29 March 2019.

Impairment testing for cash-generating (CGU) units containing goodwill
The goodwill of £2.33 million arose on the acquisition of the UK business, RentSmart Limited from Bank of
Scotland plc in 2007 (taking ThinkSmart’s holding to 100%). Further financial information relating to the UK
business is shown within the segment information (note 24).
The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit, being ThinkSmart’s UK leasing business, was based on its
value in use using business plan assumptions and a market discount rate and hence includes inherent estimation
uncertainty. Having been historically profitable, and in the absence of an active market, value in use was deemed
to be the appropriate method for measurement of the value of the CGU. However, in the year to 30 June 2018
ThinkSmart’s UK leasing business incurred operating losses of £1.2 million (being UK losses of £4.1m less £0.6m
relating to ClearPay and £2.3m goodwill impairment). In addition, the Group received an indicative proposal from
a third party in May 2018 which valued the ThinkSmart leasing business below its net assets (including £2.33m
goodwill). These indicators implied that the carrying value of the goodwill in the ThinkSmart UK leasing business
was impaired and as such a £2.33m impairment of the goodwill was made at 30 June 2018.

21. Issued Capital (continued)
(b)(i) Share options – employee options and loan-funded shares
The Company has an ownership-based remuneration scheme for Executives and senior employees. Each employee
share option converts to one ordinary share of ThinkSmart Limited on exercise and payment of the exercise price.
Each employee loan-funded share converts to one ordinary share of ThinkSmart Limited on exercise and
repayment of the loan. The options carry neither rights or dividends nor voting rights. The loan-funded shares
carry voting and rights to dividends.
Options and loan-funded shares issued in previous years and not yet vested or exercised as at 30 June 2019:
• 1,757,352 options over ordinary shares were issued 21 December 2016 and exercisable at £0.22, vesting
and exercisable on 21 December 2019 until 21 December 2026. The fair value of these options at grant date
was £0.0371. Vesting of the options is subject to achievement of the following performance conditions:
Earnings per Share Condition 1 (EPS1) - Vesting of 75% of the share options will be subject to meeting
EPS1. The metric for EPS1 is growth in earnings per share over the performance period being the 3 years
from 1 July 2016. Share options will vest as follows;
Metric <15%
Metric = 15% (Lower Target 1)
15% < Metric < 50%
Metric = 50% (Upper Target 1)
Nil EPS1 options will vest
25% of EPS1 options will vest
Straight line vesting between Lower Target 1 and Upper Target 1
100% of EPS1 options will vest
Earnings per Share Condition 2 (EPS2) – Vesting of 25% of the share options will be subject to meeting
EPS2. The metric for EPS2 is growth in earnings per share over the performance period, being the 3 years
from 1 July 2016, adjusted to exclude profit generated from any business transacted with any member of
the Dixons Carphone plc Group. Share options will vest as follows;
Metric <15%
Metric = 15% (Lower Target 2)
15% < Metric < 50%
Metric = 50% (Upper Target 2)
Nil EPS2 options will vest
25% of EPS2 options will vest
Straight line vesting between Lower Target 2 and Upper Target 2
100% of EPS2 options will vest
The value of these options and loan-funded shares will be expensed over the vesting period in accordance
with AASB 2.
Measurement of fair values
The fair value of employee share options is measured using a binomial model and loan-funded shares are
measured using a Monte-Carlo simulation model.
Other measurement inputs include share price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, weighted
average expected life of the instruments (based on historical experience and general option holder behaviour),
expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). Service and non-market
performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value. Below
are the inputs used to measure the fair value of the options and loan-funded shares:

Sensitivity analysis
A change in 1% in interest rates would have increased or decreased the Group’s profit for continuing operations
by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other factors remain constant including foreign
currency rates.

(b) Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements are not
materially different to their fair values.
Fair value hierarchy
The financial instruments carried at fair value have been classified by valuation method.
The different levels have been defined as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:
inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Key assumptions in the valuation of the instruments were limited to interpolating interest rates for certain future
periods where there was no observable market data. The majority of financial assets and liabilities are measured
at amortised cost. At 30 June 2019 the Group held the following financial instruments measured at fair value
through profit or loss:
• 125,000 shares in Afterpay Touch Group Limited with a fair value of £1,734,531 (2018: nil). The Afterpay
shares are a Level 1 financial instrument, traded on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) under the ticker
APT.
• 10% holding in ClearPay Finance Limited with a fair value of £60,000 (2018: nil). The holding in ClearPay
is a Level 3 financial instrument.

(c) Credit risk management (continued)
The ageing of the Group’s trade and lease receivables at the reporting date was:
Gross Impairment Gross Impairment
June 2019 June 2019 June 2018 June 2018
£,000 £,000 £,000 £,000

Past due 121-365 days 150 121 59 56
3,884 253 7,325 314
Impairment is measured using a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has
increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. For receivables,
a simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected loss allowance is available.
The Group applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses (ECLs) under AASB 9, which
permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for trade and lease receivables. The Group makes specific
provisions for lifetime expected credit losses against these receivables where additional information is known
regarding the recoverability of those balances. For the remaining trade and lease receivables balances, the Group
has established an ECL model using provision matrices for recognising ECLs on its trade receivables, based on
its historical credit loss experience over a two year period, adjusted (where appropriate) for forward-looking
factors.
The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade and lease receivables during the year was as
follows:
June 2019 June 2018
£,000 £,000
Balance at 1 July 314 61
Impairment loss recognised 272 410
Bad debt written off (333) (157)
Balance at 30 June 253 314
Trade and lease receivables are reviewed and considered for impairment on a periodic basis, based on the number
of days outstanding and number of payments in arrears, adjusted (where appropriate) for forwards looking factors.

Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies of the parent entity are consistent with those of the consolidated entity, as disclosed in
note 1, except for the following:
• Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost, less any impairment, in the parent entity.
• Investments in associates are accounted for at cost, less any impairment, in the parent entity.
• Dividends received from subsidiaries are recognised as other income by the parent entity and its receipt
may be an indicator of an impairment of the investment.
32. Effects of changes in accounting policies
The Group has adopted AASB 15 in the current year applying the full retrospective transition approach with the
date of initial adoption being 1 July 2018. The main changes have arisen in respect of the accounting for the
revenue, and related assets and liabilities, under the operating agreement and related financial guarantee contract
with STB Leasing Ltd (STBL) where the Group act as agent for STBL in the brokering and servicing of lease
agreements where STBL is the lessor. In return, the Group receives an upfront cash transaction fee from STBL
together with the non-cash consideration between STB and the end customer (for the contract or inertia asset)
which is allocated under AASB 15 between the inception/brokerage of the lease arrangement, a financial
guarantee contract premium over the lease term, a contract liability reflecting the reversal constraint for the
potential refund of the transaction fee, and the non-cash consideration contract asset accruing over the lease term.
This has the following impact:
1. The recognition of the contract asset non-cash consideration means that it is no longer appropriate to
recognise an inertia intangible asset and related deferred service income together with inventory of inertia
stock.
2. The recognition of the financial guarantee contract premium eliminates the need for an additional loss pool
provision.
3. A contract liability is recognised reflecting the reversal constraint for the potential refund of the transaction
fee in the event that an end customer lessee defaults on their lease.
4. The cost of acquiring new end customer lease contracts is capitalised and spread over the term of the end
customer lease.
5. At the end of the minimum term of the end customer lease, the Group becomes the lessor of an operating
lease and at which point the contract asset is transferred to plant & machinery and depreciated over the
expected secondary term. Once the lessee terminates the lease the equipment is transferred to inventory at
book value and expensed as a cost of inertia asset sold against the income earned from the sale of the inertia
equipment.
This has resulted in the following restatement of comparatives for the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income for the year ended 30 June 2018, and the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018:
• Restatement of the 30 June 2017 financial position, which is the restated opening position for the year to
30 June 2018, results in a reduction to net assets and accumulated profit at 30 June 2017 of £1,470,000.
• The restatement of the profit or loss for the year ended 30 June 2018 results in a £348,000 lower loss for
that year resulting in a cumulative reduction to net assets and accumulated profit at 30 June 2018 of
£1,122,000 as follows:
– Inertia intangible assets of £3,219,000, inventories of inertia stock of £321,000, deferred service
income liabilities of £1,484,000 and accrued inertia rental income of £104,000 were derecognised
resulting in a reduced FY18 loss of £238,000 (after allowing for the 30 June 2017 restatement of
financial position impact of £2,398,000 reduction).
– Loss pool bad debt provisions of £726,000 were derecognised resulting in an increased FY18 loss
of £45,000 (after allowing for the 30 June 2017 restatement of financial position impact of £771,000
increase).

FY18 loss £237,000 (after allowing for the 30 June 2017 restatement of financial position impact
of £2,976,000 increase).
– Contract liabilities in respect of the financial guarantee and refundable transaction fee reversal
constraint of £2,667,000 were recognised resulting in a reduced FY18 loss of £579,000 (after
allowing for the 30 June 2017 restatement of financial position impact of £3,246,000 reduction).
– Plant and equipment in respect of operating leased equipment has been recognised with an NBV of
£240,000 resulting in an increased FY18 loss of £187,000 (after allowing for the 30 June 2017
restatement of financial position impact of £427,000 increase).

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the members of ThinkSmart Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of ThinkSmart
Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group),
which comprises the consolidated statement of financial
position as at 30 June 2019, 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 2019 and of its financial
performance for the year ended on that date; and
(ii) Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and
the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards
are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are
independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting
Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are
relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the
directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the
financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as
a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Revenue Recognition
The key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
As disclosed in Notes 3(c) and 6 of the financial report,
the Group has several significant revenue streams,
including commission income, insurance commission
and inertia service income.
Following the first time adoption of the new revenue
recognition standard, AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts
with Customers (“AASB 15”), the Group adopted its
accounting policies and applied the retrospective method
with restatement of the comparative period.
Our procedures included, but were not limited to the
following:
•
Evaluating
the key controls and processes
management have in place to determine the
transaction price of each revenue transaction;
• Assessing the appropriateness of management’s
revenue recognition policies in accordance with the
requirements of AASB 15;
Under AASB 15 revenue, based on the determined
transaction price, is recognised when a performance
obligation is satisfied by transferring control over a
promised good or service.
Each stream of the Group has different revenue
recognition timings and is recognised to the extent that it
is not highly probable that a significant reversal will
subsequently occur.
As disclosed in Note 4 of the financial report, the
application of AASB 15 involves significant management
estimates and judgments, particularly in relation to
determining the transaction price, and accordingly
revenue recognition is a key audit matter.
•
Reviewing a sample of contracts and agreeing the
underlying terms to ensure that relevant performance
obligations have been appropriately assessed and that
the transaction price for each contract has been
appropriately allocated to the various performance
obligations;
• Assessing whether commission income, insurance
commission and inertia service income has been
recognised only to the extent that it is highly
probable that a significant reversal will not occur.
This assessment includes assessing the impact of:
– The Group’s historical experience with similar
products.
• Assessing the appropriateness of management’s
transitional impact on the application of AASB 15,
including reviewing
transition adjustment
the
recognised; and
• Assessing the adequacy of the related disclosures in
Notes 3(c), 4, 6 and 32 of 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 2019, 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.
Other matter

Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view
in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the
directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting
unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian
Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or
error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance
Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:
