Victory Offices Limited    Annual Report 2020

Chairman and Managing Director's Review

As the economy adjusts to working with COVID-19, so too will 
Victory Offices also adjust. International and domestic studies 
completed during the COVID era support the view that flexible 
workspaces will become more strategically significant.  The 
service offering from Victory Offices will become a more 
attractive and efficient model as businesses decide their future 
workplace options.

We are committed to the challenge of navigating through the 
remainder of the 2021 financial year with a view to returning to 
profitability in the 2022 financial year. 

Hon Steve Bracks AC 
Chairman

Dan Baxter 
Managing Director / CEO

30 September 2020

Dear shareholders,

We are pleased to present the Victory Offices Limited Annual 
Report for the year ended 30 June 2020.

It is no surprise that the 2020 financial year has been a 
challenging one for the Company. Victory Offices performed 
well up until early March 2020 and was then significantly 
impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In spite of the COVID 
impact, the strong results up until March 2020 meant the 
Company only recorded an underlying loss after tax of $0.4 
million for the 2020 financial year. 

Victory Offices has witnessed a similar impact to what is being 
seen across the economy. The pandemic has been particularly 
challenging for our team and clients. Although office buildings 
remained open in March 2020 when the pandemic first hit, the 
government directive to work from home wherever possible, 
impacted heavily. This resulted in revenue falling immediately 
to approximately 20% of pre-COVID levels. 

Pleasingly, the Victory Offices team has managed to adapt 
quickly to the changing circumstances that vary across 
Australia, according to each state government restrictions. 
Since March 2020, COVID-safe practices have been a 
high priority in each location. Safe practices have been 
implemented across the portfolio effectively and in-line with 
regulations. All Victory Offices employees, regardless of 
position from top to bottom, have been working for reduced 
pay (with most on reduced hours) and we are very grateful for 
their support of the business during this period.

In response to the pandemic impact, we ensured that there 
was a strong focus on capital management and were pleased 
to close a well supported entitlement offer in early July 2020. 
The entitlement offer raised $14.6 million (net of costs) and has 
strengthened the balance sheet and will fund working capital 
requirements as we navigate through continued pandemic 
restrictions. 

We remain cautiously optimistic of a steady increase in 
occupancy during the 2021 financial year. We are cognisant 
that this might be a ‘two speed’ increase. States less affected 
by the pandemic are witnessing encouraging steady growth as 
they slowly return towards normal business. Victorian locations 
will most likely open in a meaningful way post-Christmas 2020. 
We are anticipating a gradual increase in occupancy in line 
with industry studies that draw attention to modified work 
environments and flexible employment attitudes.

REPORT 

For the Year Ended 30 June 2020

Directors' Report

MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE 
FINANCIAL YEAR
On 10 July 2020, the Company settled an entitlement offer to 
raise $15,337,500 by issuing 40,900,000 ordinary shares at 
37.5 cents per share. Net of costs the entitlement offer raised 
$14,558,213.

Since the end of the financial year and up until the date of 
this report the consolidated entity has negotiated further 
rent relief in relation to its leases.  As a result of these 
negotiations the following will be impacted within the 2021 
financial year pursuant to ‘AASB 2020-4 Covid-19-Related Rent 
Concessions’: rent concession income of $413,202 will be 
recognised; and lease modifications resulting in an increase to 
right-of-use assets of $1,666,258 and corresponding increase 
to lease liabilities of $1,253,056 will be recognised.

In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Victorian 
Government introduced stage 4 lockdowns in August 2020 
forcing the closure of the consolidated entities’ Victorian 
locations. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains 
ongoing and it is not practicable to estimate and quantify the 
potential impact after the reporting date as it is dependent on 
many factors outside of the control of the consolidated entity 
including the length of the Victorian restrictions.

No other matters or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 
2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect 
the consolidated entity’s operations, the results of those 
operations, or the consolidated entity’s state of affairs in future 
financial years.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS 
OF OPERATIONS
The consolidated entity intends to continue its programme 
of offering serviced offices, coworking, hot desks and virtual 
offices and facilities for businesses to contract to use on 
flexible licence arrangements. Given the impact of COVID-19 
there have been delays in the roll-out of new locations, as 
noted in the Operating and Financial Review.

The directors present their report, together with the financial 
statements, on Victory Offices Limited and its Controlled 
Entities (referred to hereafter as the ‘consolidated entity’ or 
‘entity’) at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2020.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Details of the Company’s corporate governance procedures, 
policies and practices are at:  
https://victoryofficeslimited.com/corporate-governance

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
Revenue from suite services was $42.3 million in the 2020 
financial year (2019: $47.0 million). The impact of COVID-19 
had a significant impact on revenues in the fourth quarter of 
the 2020 financial year. Over 90% of revenues for the 2020 
financial year were incurred prior to 31 March 2020.

Net loss after tax for the 2020 financial year was $8.1 million 
(2019: $9.6 million profit).

Underlying net loss after tax for the 2020 financial year was 
$0.4 million (2019: $9.6 million profit). Underlying net loss 
after tax excludes the impact of impairment of receivables 
and impairment of assets as well as adjusting for Jobkeeper 
subsidy and rent concession income.

A provision for impairment of assets has been identified for 
$8.5 million ($6.0 million after tax) across the portfolio after 
performing value-in-use calculations. The impairment provision 
is non-cash and will result in a reduced depreciation charge 
going forward. The impairment provision was required, in part, 
due to having reflected a significant right of use asset pursuant 
to the requirements of AASB 16 Leases and AASB 136 
Impairment. All locations are providing a positive value-in-use 
however a very small number of locations have a value not in 
excess of the carrying value of the cash generating unit due to, 
in part, the current and forecast short-term trading conditions.

Cash balances were $0.7 million as at 30 June 2020. On 10 
July 2020, the Company settled an entitlement offer to raise 
$15.34 million by issuing 40.9 million ordinary shares at 37.5 
cents per share. Net of costs the entitlement offer raised 
$14.56 million to strengthen the balance sheet and provide 
working capital for the 2021 financial year.

The Board was pleased with the support provided by existing 

and new shareholders in the recent entitlement offer. The 
entitlement offer has strengthened the balance sheet and 
will fund working capital requirements throughout the 2021 
financial year.

COVID-19
COVID-19 has had a significant and unprecedented impact on 
the flexible workspace industry. While the first three quarters of 
the 2020 financial year were profitable the impact of COVID-19 
was felt from late March. Since late March occupancy and 
revenues have been severely impacted. 

The Company has been proactive in managing the impact of 
COVID-19 by implementing various measures:

•  The Company completed a capital raising providing 

funds, net of costs, of $14.56 million on 10 July 2020 to 
strengthen the balance sheet and provide working capital;

•  The Company took immediate steps to introduce a number 
of cost saving measures, including reducing the workforce, 
introduction of salary reduction (from the CEO down) of 
approximately 40%, reduction in discretionary spending 
and a focus on cost control;

•  Utilisation of various government legislative support 

measures such as Jobkeeper subsidy and waiver and / or 
deferrals of lease rentals. Negotiations are continuing with 
landlords, with approximately 60% of locations resolved 
favorably to date; and

•  The Company has delayed any planned capital 

expenditure until economic and trading conditions show an 
appropriate level of improvement.

The Company has been working closely with our customers 
and providing them with the necessary support to manage 
through the impacts of COVID-19. Despite the ongoing 
challenges of COVID-19 the Company is cautiously optimistic 
of a steady increase in occupancy during the remainder of the 
2021 financial year.

Victory Offices Limited    Annual Report 2020

Directors' Report

The Company currently has 23 locations that are (or have 
been) open for business. Of these 15 are Victorian locations 
that are currently in hibernation due to lockdown measures. 
There are two locations yet to be opened where fit-out works 
have been substantially completed. A further five locations are 
leased with minimal or no fit-out works yet to be completed. 
The Company has been successful in negotiating some rent 
deferrals in relation to these locations however is considering 
whether any rationalisation of any of these locations is 
appropriate. The Company will take a cautious approach 
in commencing any fit-out capital expenditure in the 2021 
financial year.

OUTLOOK AND RISKS

OUTLOOK
The 2021 financial year is expected to be challenging. 
The current lockdown restrictions in Victoria are having an 
adverse effect on short-term revenue both in Victoria and 
the rest of Australia as all Australians assess the ‘second 
wave’ of COVID-19. Previously, the board was optimistic that 
the business will begin to see a recovery (Australia wide) 
commencing from October 2020. Recent announcements in 
Victoria suggest that there may not be a meaningful return 
of workers to office buildings for the remainder of 2020. The 
board remains cautiously optimistic that non-Victorian locations 
will begin to see a recovery from October 2020. The timing 
of the re-opening of Victorian locations remains uncertain 
although we are expected to be open prior to December 
based on current guidelines.

The board is cognisant that there is likely to be resistance from 
some employers and employees to return to ‘the office’ as well 
as the impact of social distancing restrictions. The Company 
is forecasting a gradual recovery in trading during the 2021 
financial year (particularly in the second-half) and is anticipating 
that the 2022 financial year will see a return to profitability.

As COVID-19 becomes more manageable and better 
controlled, the Directors of Victory Offices Limited are of the 
view that flexible workspaces will become more strategically 
important to the way the world does business. Victory’s 
service offering will become more attractive to businesses 
when they decide how to establish a more efficient workplace 
environment as workers return from working from home. 

KEY RISKS
The Company’s key risks include:

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on 
Victory Offices business and the serviced offices industry. 
The Government’s measures to limit the transmission of the 
virus (including social distancing, quarantine and self-isolation 
policies and the prohibition on non-essential services) have 
had a material adverse impact on Victory Offices’ operations 
and will continue to do so in the near future, in that businesses 
are unable to utilise Victory Offices services while the 
restrictions remain in place.

While the board considers that demand for serviced offices 
may increase after the restrictions are lifted and the spread 
of the virus is eliminated or contained, on the basis that 
businesses may look for more flexible and shorter term rental 
options to limited their exposure in future crises, it is also 
possible that businesses may seek to promote and utilise 
working from home options which could result in decreased 
demand for commercial office space.

FUTURE CAPITAL NEEDS

Victory Offices cannot be certain how long the impact of 
COVID-19 will continue to limit its ability to operate. Victory 
Offices Office’s ability to raise further capital (equity or debt) 
within an acceptable time, of a sufficient amount and on terms 
acceptable to Victory Offices, will vary according to a number 
of factors including the stock market, industry conditions, 
government measures to limit the transmission of COVID-19, 
Victory Offices’ relationship with customers and the financial 
position of Victory Offices’ customers. A consequence of the 
current economic downturn is that it is more difficult to access 
capital (equity and debt). No assurance can be given that 
future funding will be available to Victory Offices on favourable 
terms (or at all). 

COMPETITION

The Company is subject to competition from well-established 
organisations, including but not limited to Servcorp, Regus and 
WeWork. Some of the competitors have a long track record of 
sustained growth. As well as competing for customers, Victory 
Offices also competes for office space from landlords.

Certain market conditions may cause an increase in 
competition. For instance, an increase in demand may present 
the opportunity for competitors to expand their operations 
and markets. The industry is also subject to new entrants 
from overseas markets. Increased competition may reduce 
the volume and price of the services that the Company 
provides, which may have a material and adverse effect on 
the Company’s revenue and profitability and, in particular, its 
growth.

PERSONNEL RISK

Victory Offices relies upon the performance and expertise of 
its key management personnel and employees. Any loss or 
changes to the quantity or quality of the operational services 
provided by these key personnel, or an inability to attract 
qualified and motivated personnel to provide these services, 
could adversely affect Victory Offices financial performance.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a large proportion 
of the global workforce working remotely, including Victory 
Offices’ employees and executives. In many jurisdictions 
in which Victory Offices operates, employees working in 
non-essential services have already been mandated to 
work from home by government authorities. It is difficult to 
determine how long this shift towards working from home 
will continue, as this will depend to a large extent on factors 
beyond the Company’s control, including the incidence and 
spread of COVID-19, government policy, health authority 
recommendations and community sentiment. While having 
its employee work from home allows Victory Offices to 
continue operations during the global pandemic, it can have 

Victory Offices Limited    Annual Report 2020

9

Directors' Report

implications on productivity, morale, collaboration and ability to 
retain and hire staff. The shift to working from home can also 
impact Victory Offices’ relationships with its customers.

Any breakout of COVID-19 within the workforce of Victory 
Offices or its customers or disruption caused to operations 
as a result of the Company’s remote working arrangements 
could have an adverse effect on the operating and financial 
performance of the Company.

INABILITY TO SECURE NEW LOCATIONS

Victory Offices ability to achieve future growth will depend on 
the ability to secure new site locations. There can be various 
reasons as to why it may become difficult to secure new 
locations such as: increased competition; reputational damage; 
onerous lease agreements due to market conditions; and 
financial position of Victory Offices.

If the Company is unsuccessful in securing new locations, the 
Company’s operating and financial performance could be 
adversely affected. 

LEASE TERM ASYMMETRY AND EXPOSURE

Victory Offices does not own freehold land, Rather, Victory 
Offices through its subsidiaries enters into long term leases 
with landlords for office space that the subsidiary then 
converts into serviced offices. The subsidiary then licences 
the serviced offices on shorter and flexible terms. This 
business model gives rise to a potential asymmetry between 
the timing and coverage of the obligations under the short-
term licences relative to the overhead long-term lease under 
which the subsidiary leases the office space from a landlord. 
The subsidiary bears the risk of having to meet its obligations 
under the leases regardless of its ability to licence some or 
all of the space under licence arrangements. This risk has 
materialised as a result of COVID 19 outbreak and could 
materialise again in the future as a result of other events or 
factors.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
The remuneration report details the key management 
personnel remuneration arrangements for the consolidated 
entity, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations 
Act 2001 and its Regulations.

Key management personnel are those persons having 
authority and responsibility for planning, directing and 
controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, 
including all directors.

The remuneration report is set out under the following main 
headings:

•  Principles used to determine the nature and amount of 

remuneration;

•  Details of remuneration;

•  Service agreements;

•  Share-based compensation;

•  Additional information; and

•  Additional disclosures relating to key management 

personnel.

PRINCIPLES USED TO DETERMINE THE NATURE 
AND AMOUNT OF REMUNERATION
The objective of the consolidated entity’s executive reward 
framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive 
and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns 
executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives 
and the creation of value for shareholders, and it is considered 
to conform to the market best practice for the delivery of 
reward. The Board of Directors (‘the Board’) ensures that 
executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good 
reward governance practices:

•  competitiveness and reasonableness;

•  acceptability to shareholders;

•  performance linkage / alignment of executive 

compensation; and

• 

transparency

The Human Resources and Remuneration Committee is 
responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration 
arrangements for its directors and executives. The 
performance of the consolidated entity depends on the quality 
of its directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy 
is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high 
quality personnel.

The Human Resources and Remuneration Committee has 
structured an executive remuneration framework that is market 
competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the 
consolidated entity.

The reward framework is designed to align executive reward 
to shareholders’ interests. The Board have considered that it 
should seek to enhance shareholders’ interests by:

•  having economic profit as a core component of plan 

design;

• 

focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, 
consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and 
delivering constant or increasing return on assets as well 
as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of 
value; and

•  attracting and retaining high calibre executives.

Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance 
executives’ interests by:

• 

• 

rewarding capability and experience;

reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in 
shareholder wealth; and

•  providing a clear structure for earning rewards.

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the 
structure of non-executive director and executive director 
remuneration is separate.

Directors' Report

NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS REMUNERATION
Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the 
demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-executive 
directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by 
the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee. The 
Human Resources and Remuneration Committee may, from 
time to time, receive advice from independent remuneration 
consultants to ensure non-executive directors’ fees and 
payments are appropriate and in line with the market. The 
chairman’s fees are determined independently to the fees 
of other non-executive directors based on comparative 
roles in the external market. The chairman is not present 
at any discussions relating to the determination of his own 
remuneration. Non-executive directors do not receive share 
options or other incentives.   

Under the Constitution, subject to the ASX Listing Rules, the 
Directors as a whole (other than Executive Directors) may be 
paid or remunerated for their services a total amount or value 
not exceeding $400,000 per annum or such other maximum 
fixed by the Company in a general meeting. Non-Executive 
Directors may not be paid a commission on or a percentage 
of profits or operating revenue. All Director’s fees include 
superannuation at statutory amounts (currently 9.5%).

EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION
The consolidated entity aims to reward executives based on 
their position and responsibility.

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary and 
superannuation, are reviewed annually by the Human 
Resources and Remuneration Committee based on individual 
and business unit performance, the overall performance of the 
consolidated entity and comparable market remunerations.

CONSOLIDATED ENTITY PERFORMANCE AND LINK 
TO REMUNERATION
Whilst there are incentives in place for wider employees, 
remuneration for executives is not currently linked to 
the performance of the consolidated entity. The HR and 
Remuneration Committee has commenced a review of 
industry standards and the potential to implement an incentive 
plan consistent with practices amongst other ASX companies 
of a similar size.

DETAILS OF REMUNERATION

AMOUNTS OF REMUNERATION

Directors' Report

SHARES UNDER OPTION
There are no unissued ordinary shares of Victory Offices 
Limited under option at the date of this report.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
The consolidated entity is not subject to any significant 
environmental regulations in respect to its activities.

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE 
CONSOLIDATED ENTITY
No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of 
the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings 
on behalf of the consolidated entity or to intervene in any 
proceedings to which the consolidated entity is a party, for the 
purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the consolidated 
entity for all or any part of those proceedings.

INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE OF OFFICERS
The Company has entered into a deed of access, insurance 
and indemnity (Deed) with each Director. Under the 
Constitution, to the extent permitted by law and subject to the 
Corporations Act, the Company indemnifies current and past 
directors and secretaries of the Company against a liability 
incurred in their position (or as a director or secretary of a 
subsidiary of the Company where the Company requested the 
person to accept that appointment) and reasonable legal costs 
in defending an action for liability incurred against them in that 
capacity. The Constitution provides that the Company may 
enter into a deed to give effect to these rights.

The Deed provides that, to the extent permitted by the 
Corporations Act, the Company indemnifies the Director 
against liabilities, costs and expenses (including legal costs 
incurred in defending proceedings brought against the 
Director) incurred in the Director’s capacity as a director of the 
Company or its subsidiaries.

In addition, the Deed requires the Company to take out and 
maintain (and pay the premium of) Directors’ and Officers’ 
insurance during Director’s period of office and for a period 
of seven years after a Director ceases to hold office (Access 
Period). During the Access Period, the Director also has rights 
to access papers, documents and other information relating 
to the affairs of the Company for specified purposes during 
the period the Director is an officer of the Company and for a 
period of seven years after the Director ceases to hold office.

During the financial year the Company has paid insurance 
premiums in respect of Directors’ and officers’ liability and 
legal expenses insurance contracts, for current and former 
Directors, secretaries and officers of the Company and its 
controlled entities. The insurance policies prohibit disclosure of 
the nature of the liability insured against and the amount of the 
premiums. 

INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE OF AUDITOR
The consolidated entity has not, during or since the end of the 
financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the auditor 
of the consolidated entity or any related entity against a liability 
incurred by the auditor.

During the financial year, the consolidated entity has not paid 
a premium in respect of a contract to insure the auditor of the 
consolidated entity or any related entity.

ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS
The consolidated entity is of a kind referred to in Corporations 
Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and 
Investments Commission, relating to ‘rounding-off’. Amounts 
in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that 
Corporations Instrument to the nearest dollars.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES
Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-
audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor 
were $7,000 (2019: $ 81,500) and are outlined in note 23 to the 
financial statements.

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit 
services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another 
person or firm on the auditor’s behalf), is compatible with the 
general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the 
Corporations Act 2001.

The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed 
in note 23 to the financial statements do not compromise 
the external auditor’s independence requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

•  all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to 

ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity 
of the auditor; and

•  none of the services undermine the general principles 
relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by 
the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, 
including reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, 
acting in a management or decision-making capacity 
for the company, acting as advocate for the company or 
jointly sharing economic risks and rewards. Officers of the 
company who are former partners of RSM Australia Partners

There are no officers of the company who are former partners 
of RSM Australia Partners.

AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION
A copy of the Auditor’s Independence Declaration as required 
under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on 
page 15 and forms part of this Director’s Report.

This report is made in accordance with a resolution of directors, 
pursuant to section 298(2)(a) of the Corporations Act 2001.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2020

1   GENERAL INFORMATION 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the 
preparation of the financial statements are set out below. 
These policies have been consistently applied to all the 
yearspresented, unless otherwise stated.

The financial statements of Victory Offices Limited & 
Controlled Entities (the “consolidated entity”) for 30 June 
2020 were authorised for issue by the Directors on  
30 September 2020.

A)  BASIS OF PREPARATION 

These general purpose financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting 
Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations 
Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. 
These financial statements also comply with International 
Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the 
International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’).

(i)  Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared under 
the historical cost convention, except for, where 
applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and 
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, investment 
properties, certain classes of property, plant and 
equipment and derivative financial instruments.

(ii)  Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires 
the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It 
also requires management to exercise its judgement 
in the process of applying the consolidated entity’s 
accounting policies. The areas involving a higher 
degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where 
assumptions and estimates are significant to the 
financial statements, are disclosed in note 2.

(iii) Comparatives

Comparative figures for the prior year have been re-
classified where appropriate to align with current year 
disclosures.

Financial Statements

B)  GOING CONCERN
The financial statements have been prepared on the going 
concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal 
business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge 
of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The impact of COVID-19 has resulted in significant restrictions 
and impacts on economic activity and the ability for workers to 
access offices.  There has been a fall in demand for serviced 
offices with uncertainty surrounding the timing of the rebound 
which has and is continuing to impact the consolidated entity’s 
operations.

As disclosed in the financial statements, the consolidated 
entity incurred a loss of $8,069,375 for the year ended 30 
June 2020.  As at that date the consolidated entity had net 
current liabilities of $15,562,442.

Whilst the economic impacts of COVID-19 have been 
significant and are still uncertain, the Directors remain 
confident that the consolidated entity will be able to continue 
as a going concern.  This assumes that the consolidated entity 
will be able to meet its debt as and when they fall due for 
a period of 12 months from the date of signing the financial 
statements.  

The Directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that 
the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern and 
that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the 
preparation of the financial report after consideration of the 
following factors:  

• 

• 

• 

• 

the consolidated entity completed a capital  raising 
providing funds, net of costs, of $14,598,213 on 10 July 
2020;      

the consolidated entity has delayed any planned capital 
expenditure until economic and trading conditions show an 
appropriate level of improvement;

the consolidated entity took immediate steps to introduce 
a number of cost saving measures, including reducing the 
workforce; introduction of salary reductions in the form of 
unpaid leave days; reduction in discretionary spending and 
a focus on cost control; and

there have been various government legislative support 
measures such as Jobkeeper subsidy and waiver and/
or deferrals of lease liabilities to further assist with their 
cashflow management. 

C)  NEW OR AMENDED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND 

INTERPRETATIONS ADOPTED
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or 
amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued 
by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that 
are mandatory for the current reporting period. For other 
standards not adopted early and the impact of these on 
the consolidated entity refer to note 26 for managements 
interpretations of the new or amended standards.

Financial Statements

 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

D)  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements incorporate 
the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Victory 
Offices Limited as at 30 June 2020 and the results of 
all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Victory Offices 
Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in 
these financial statements as the ‘consolidated entity’.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the 
consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity 
controls an entity when the consolidated entity 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 to direct the activities of the entity. 
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which 
control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are 
de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Interconsolidated entity transactions, balances and 
unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the 
consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are 
also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence 
of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting 
policies of subsidiaries have been changed where 
necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted 
by the consolidated entity.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the 
acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership 
interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as 
an equity transaction, where the difference between the 
consideration transferred and the book value of the share 
of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised 
directly in equity attributable to the parent.

E)  GOODS AND SERVICES TAX

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

Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a 
gross basis, except for the GST component of investing.

F)  CURRENT AND NON-CURRENT CLASSIFICATION
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement 
of financial position based on current and non-current 
classification.

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected 
to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the 
consolidated entity’s normal operating cycle; it is held 
primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be 
realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or 
the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from 
being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 
12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are 
classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected 
to be settled in the consolidated entity’s normal operating 
cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due 
to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; 
or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of 
the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. 
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

G)  IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

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

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

H)  OPERATING SEGMENTS

Identification of reportable operating segments

Identification of reportable operating segments 
The consolidated entity is organised into one operating 
segment providing comprehensive office serviced 
packages and other services to customers in Australia. 
One operating segment is consistent with the internal 
reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of 
Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating 
Decision Makers (‘CODM’)) in assessing performance and 
in determining the allocation of resources.

I)  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is 
measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure 
purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would 
be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in 
an orderly transaction between market participants at the 
measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will 
take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence 
of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market 
participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, 
assuming they act in their economic best interests. 
For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is 
based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques 
that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which 
sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, 
maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and 
minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified 
into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that 
reflects the significance of the inputs used in making 
the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at 
each reporting date and transfers between levels are 
determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of 
input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, 
external valuers may be used when internal expertise 
is either not available or when the valuation is deemed 
to be significant. External valuers are selected based 
on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a 
significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from 
one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which 
includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the 
latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with 
external sources of data.

No assets are held at fair value.

2  CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES,  
  ASSUMPTIONS 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.

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 (refer to 
the respective notes) within the next financial year are 
discussed below.

(i)  Income tax

The consolidated entity is subject to income taxes in the 
jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is 
required in determining the provision for income tax. There 
are many transactions and calculations undertaken during 
the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate 
tax determination is uncertain. The consolidated entity 
recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based 
on the consolidated entity’s current understanding of the 
tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters 
is different from the carrying amounts, such differences 
will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the 
period in which such determination is made.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible 
temporary differences only if the consolidated entity 
considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be 
available to utilise those temporary differences and losses

(ii)  Make good provisions

A provision has been made for the present value of 
anticipated costs for future restoration of leased premises. 
The provision includes future cost estimates associated 
with closure of the premises. The calculation of this 
provision requires assumptions such as application 
of closure dates and cost estimates. The provision 
recognised for each site is periodically reviewed and 
updated based on the facts and circumstances available 
at the time. Changes to the estimated future costs for sites 
are recognised in the statement of financial position by 
adjusting the asset and the provision. Reductions in the 
provision that exceed the carrying amount of the asset will 
be recognised in the profit or loss statement.

(iii)  Useful lives of plant and equipment

(vii)  Employee benefits provision

The liability for employee benefits expected to be 
settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are 
recognised and measured at the present value of the 
estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of 
all employees at the reporting date. In determining the 
present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and 
pay increases through promotion and inflation have been 
taken into account.

(viii)  Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts 
that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or 
may have, on the consolidated entity based on known 
information. This consideration extends to the nature of the 
products and services offered, customers, supply chain, 
staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated 
entity operates. 

(ix)  Allowance for expected credit losses

The allowance for expected credit losses assessment 
requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based 
on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on 
days overdue, and makes assumptions to allocate an 
overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These 
assumptions include recent sales experience, historical 
collection rates, the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) 
pandemic and forward-looking information that is available. 
The allowance for expected credit losses, as disclosed in 
note 6, is calculated based on the information available at 
the time of preparation. The actual credit losses in future 
years may be higher or lower.

The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful 
lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges 
for its 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. 

(iv)  Interest rate implicit in lease arrangements

A lessor uses the interest rate implicit in the lease for the 
purposes of lease classification and to measure the net 
investments in a finance lease. The interest rate ‘implicit’ 
in the lease is the discount rate at which, the sum of 
the present value of (i) the lease payments and (ii) the 
unguaranteed residual value equals the sum of (i) the fair 
value of the underlying asset and (ii) any initial direct costs 
of the lessor.

(v)  Lease term

The lease term is a significant component in the 
measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease 
liability. Judgement is exercised in determining whether 
there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend 
the lease or purchase the underlying asset will be 
exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not 
be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be 
included in the lease term. In determining the lease term, 
all facts and circumstances that create an economical 
incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to 
exercise a termination option, are considered at the 
lease commencement date. Factors considered may 
include the importance of the asset to the consolidated 
entity’s operations; comparison of terms and conditions to 
prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; 
existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the 
costs and disruption to replace the asset. The consolidated 
entity reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to 
exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination 
option, if there is a significant event or significant change in 
circumstances.

(vi)  Impairment of non-financial assets

In assessing impairment an estimate is made of the 
recoverable amount of each asset or cash-generating 
unit based on a discounted cashflow analysis of expected 
cashflows over the life of the asset. Estimation uncertainty 
relates to assumptions about future operating results and 
the determination of an appropriate discount rate.

As a consequence of COVID-19 significant judgement 
has been exercised in determining key assumptions for 
impairment testing.

Refer to Note 9 for further discussion and assumptions 
relating to impairment of assets.

ACCOUNTING POLICY - REVENUE
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excluded amounts 
collected on behalf of third parties. The consolidated entity recognises revenue when it transfers control over a product 
or service to a customer.

In the comparative period, revenue was measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue 
from the sale of goods was recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership and been transferred to 
the customer, recovery of the consideration was probably, the associated costs and possible return of goods could be 
estimated reliably, there was no continuing management involvement with the goods and the amount of revenue could 
be measured reliably. Revenue from rendering of services was recognised in proportion to the stage of completion of the 
work performed at the reporting date.

The following is a description of the principal activities from which the consolidated entity generates its revenue.

 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

ACCOUNTING POLICY - REVENUE (CONTINUED)

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the consolidated entity is expected to be 
entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the consolidated 
entity: 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 refund liability.

SUITE SERVICE INCOME

Revenue in relation to the rendering of suite services is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the lease 
agreement. 

JOBKEEPER SUBSIDY

Jobkeeper subsidy revenue is recognised when it is received.

RENT CONCESSION INCOME

Rent concession income is recorded pursuant to ‘AASB 2020-4 Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions’, which has been 
early adopted. The practical expedient in paragraph 46A has been applied to each relevant lease where a rental 
concession was agreed prior to 30 June 2020.

OTHER REVENUE

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right relevant performance obligations have been met.

INTEREST INCOME 

Interest income is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the 
amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest 
rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset 
to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

The consolidated entity has increased its monitoring of debt recovery as there is an increased probability of customers 
delaying payment or being unable to pay, due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. There have been no debts written off 
in the current of previous financial year.

ACCOUNTING POLICY - TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses (impairment). Trade receivables are generally due for 
settlement within 30 days.

The consolidated entity has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime 
expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days 
overdue. 

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

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

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

ACCOUNTING POLICY - INCOME TAX RECONCILIATION
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based 
on the national income tax rate adjusted by changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary 
differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to 
unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when 
the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the 
assets are recovered or liabilities settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each 
jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences 
to measure the deferred tax asset or liability.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that 
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred 
tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for 
the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is 
probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets 
against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable 
authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

9  PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (CONTINUED)

IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
The total written down value for right-of-use assets (pre-
impairment) is $136.8 million. The total written down value 
for all other plant and equipment (pre-impairment) is  
$52.3 million. 

Cash-generating-units have been identified for the 
purposes of impairment testing representing the location 
of a lease or a combination of leases (if at the same 
address). 

Value-in-use calculations have been used as the basis for 
the assessment of impairment.  Value-in-use calculations 
are based on a discounted cashflow analysis of expected 
cash inflows and cash outflows over the remaining 
expected use of the cash-generating-units (remaining 
lease terms with an assessment as to the likelihood of 
exercising an option if applicable).  No terminal values have 
been used.

The key assumptions used in the value-in-use calculations 
are: 

•  no growth in revenue rates in FY2021 and FY2022;

•  gradual increase in occupancy in FY2021 growing to 

between 55-75% (depending on location) by June 2021 
(below pre-COVID levels); 

•  occupancy between 60% and 85% (depending on 
location) in FY2022 (below pre-COVID levels); 

•  occupancy between 60% and 95% (depending on 
location) from FY2023 onwards (pre-COVID levels); 

• 

revenue growth of 3% per annum from FY2023 
onwards; 

•  growth in lease costs as per lease agreements 

(between 3-4% per annum), growth in other costs at  
3% per annum; and 

•  pre-tax discount rates between 4.5% and 6.3% 

depending on location. 

An impairment loss of $8.5 million (in relation to plant and 
equipment) has been recognised in profit or loss during the 
year. This is the first reporting period where an impairment 
of assets has been evident.

Financial Statements

The impairment loss recognised of $8.5 million relates to 
two cash-generating-units being: 

• 

• 

180 St Kilda Road, St Kilda (impairment of $7.6 million); 
and

100 Mount St, North Sydney (impairment of  
$1.0 million).

The recognition of an impairment loss as both cash-
generating-units is mainly due to the impact on short-term 
cash flows of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The recoverable amounts of each cash-generating- 
units are: 180 St Kilda Road, St Kilda (recoverable  
amount of $9.6 million) and 100 Mount St, North Sydney 
($25.3 million).

The discount rates used to determine the value in use 
were 4.8% (180 St Kilda Rd, St Kilda) and 4.5% (100 Mount 
St, North Sydney).

SENSITIVITIES

Based on the assumptions above the total value-in-use 
calculations has a positive (net) amount of $193.3 million.  
Impairment in this scenario was $8.5 million relating to the 
two locations referred to above.  The key input into the 
value-in-use models is revenue and sensitivites have been 
presented below.

Revenue +10%

If revenues year-on-year were 10% higher (whether due 
to occupancy or price increases) the total value-in-use 
calculations has a positive (net) amount of $240.6 million.  
Impairment in this scenario would be $5.1 million and 
confined to the St Kilda location only.

Revenue -10%

If revenues year-on-year were 10% lower (whether due 
to occupancy or price decreases) the total value-in-use 
calculations has a positive (net) amount of $139.0 million.  
Impairment in this scenario would be $14.7 million relating 
to the two locations as per above.

Revenue -20%

If revenues year-on-year were 20% lower (whether due 
to occupancy or price decreases) the total value-in-
use calculations has a positive (net) amount of $88.2 
million.  Impairment in this scenario would be $20.9 
million.  Impairment would be across three locations in this 
scenario.

9  PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (CONTINUED)

ACCOUNTING POLICY - PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes 
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of plant and equipment (excluding 
land) over their expected useful lives as follows:

Useful Life (in years) 

Useful Life (prior year)

Fixed asset class 

Office furniture 

Office equipment 

Computer equipment

Life of lease 

Artwork 

Right-of-use asset 

100 

Life of lease 

10

5

Life of lease

40

Life of lease

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting 
date. The useful lives were amended during the financial year to better reflect the expected use of the plant and 
equipment and to provide more consistency within the fixed asset classes. This results in a lower depreciation charge in 
the 2020 financial year.

Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease 
or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter.

An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit. Gains and 
losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.

RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS

A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, 
which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or 
before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where 
included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the 
underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated 
useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased 
asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to 
impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term 
leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to 
profit or loss as incurred.

ACCOUNTING POLICY - PROVISIONS

PROVISIONS  

The provision for make good on leased premises represents the present value of the estimated costs to make good the 
premises leased by the consolidated entity at the end of the respective lease terms. 

Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a 
past event, it is probable the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be 
made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration 
required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding 
the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the 
liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to 
be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the 
liabilities are settled.

Other long-term employee benefits

The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are 
measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees 
up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and 
salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using 
market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as 
possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

-

ACCOUNTING POLICY - BORROWINGS
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They 
are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Non-current borrowings are unsecured loans and have been provided to a director related entity and subsidiaries on 
an arm’s length basis. The loan has a coupon of 5% p.a. accruing monthly and capitalising until repayment commence. 
Quarterly repayments will commence on 1 July 2021 amortising over 24 months. Interest of $42,326 was capitalised 
against this loan in FY2020. Loans are unsecured and repayable in cash. The loan of $2,523,759 was provided in March 
2020 to fund capital expenditure commitments.

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

Borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs include:

• 

interest on bank overdrafts and short-term and long-term borrowings; and

•  finance lease charges.

ACCOUNTING POLICY - CONTRIBUTED EQUITY

ORDINARY SHARES

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

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the company in 
proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and 
the company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.

On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each 
share shall have one vote.

DIVIDENDS  

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared on or before the end of the financial year but not distributed at 
balance date.

CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

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

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is 
calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

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

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2019 Annual Report.

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Victory Offices Limited, 
excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares 
outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.

DILUTED EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Diluted earnings (loss) per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings (loss) 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.

The consolidated entity has numerous commercial office leases include leases of shared office spaces. 

The non-cancellable period of the leases varies between 1 and 11 years and the consolidated entity has an option to 
extend the leases up to an additional term of the lease and in many cases it is up to the discretion of the lessor. The lease 
payments are adjusted every year, based on either a fixed annual rate increase or a change in the consumer price index 
in the preceding year.  If the consolidated entity exercises the renewal option, then the lease payments in the renewal 
period will reflect the then market rate or an equivalent index dependent on the terms of the lease agreement.

At inception of a contract, the consolidated entity assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, 
or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in 
exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the 
consolidated entity assess whether:

• 

• 

• 

the contract involves the use of an identified asset - this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be 
physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a 
substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;

the consolidated entity has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset 
throughout the period of use;

the consolidated entity has the right to direct the use of the asset. The consolidated entity has this right when it has 
the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare 
cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the consolidated entity 
has the right to direct the use of the asset if either:

• 

• 

the consolidated entity has the right to operate the asset; or

the consolidated entity designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the consolidated entity allocate the 
consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for 
the lease of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the consolidated entity has elected not to separate non-lease 
components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

16 LEASE LIABILITIES (CONTINUED) 

ACCOUNTING POLICY - LEASE LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)

AS A LESSEE 

The consolidated entity recognise a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-
of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which compromises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease 
payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to 
dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any 
lease incentives received. 

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the 
earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-
of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is 
periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. 

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement 
date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be easily determined, the consolidated 
entity incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the consolidated entity use its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

LEASE PAYMENTS INCLUDED IN THE MEASUREMENT OF THE LEASE LIABILITY COMPROMISE THE FOLLOWING:
•  fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;

•  variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or a rate as at the 

commencement date;

•  amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

• 

the exercise price under a purchase option that the consolidated entity is reasonably certain to exercise, lease 
payments in an optional renewal period if the consolidated entity is reasonably to exercise an extension option, and 
penalties for early termination of a lease unless the consolidated is reasonably certain to terminate early.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a 
change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the consolidated entity 
estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the consolidated entity changes its 
assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the 
right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss in the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to 
zero. 

•  fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;

•  variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using an index or a rate as at the 

commencement date;

•  amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

• 

the exercise price under a purchase option that the consolidated entity is reasonably certain to exercise, lease pay-
ments in an optional renewal period if the consolidated entity is reasonably certain to exercise and extension option, 
and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the consolidated entity is reasonably certain to terminate early.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a 
change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate, if there is a change in the consolidated 
entity’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the consolidated entity 
changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability 
is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is 
recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

SHORT-TERM LEASES AND LEASES OF LOW-VALUE ASSETS

The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of 
machinery that has a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets, including IT equipment. The 
consolidated entity recognise the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis 
over the lease term.

18 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will 
default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial 
loss to the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity 
has a strict code of credit, including obtaining agency 
credit information, confirming references and setting 
appropriate credit limits. The consolidated entity obtains 
guarantees where appropriate to mitigate credit risk. The 
maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to 
recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of 
any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed 
in the statement of financial position and notes to the 
financial statements. The consolidated entity does hold a 
security deposit (refer to note 13) which acts as a form of 
collateral.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the 
consolidated entity to maintain sufficient liquid assets 
(mainly cash and cash equivalents) and available borrowing 
facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become 
due and payable.

The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by 
maintaining adequate cash reserves and available 
borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring actual and 
forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of 
financial assets and liabilities.

REMAINING CONTRACTUAL MATURITIES

The following tables detail the consolidated entity’s 
remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument 
liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the 
undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the 
earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to 
be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash 
flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and 
therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount 
in the statement of financial position.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES
The consolidated entity’s activities expose it to a variety of 
financial risks: market risk (including price risk and interest 
rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated 
entity’s overall risk management program focuses on the 
unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise 
potential adverse effects on the financial performance 
of the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity uses 
different methods to measure different types of risk to 
which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity 
analysis in the case of interest rate and price risks 
andageing analysisforcreditrisk.

Risk management is carried out by senior finance 
executives (‘finance’) under policies approved by the 
Board of Directors (‘the Board’). These policies include 
identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the 
consolidated entity and appropriate procedures, controls 
and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges 
financial risks within the consolidated entity’s operating 
units. Finance reports to the Board on a monthlybasis.

  MARKET RISK

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

The consolidated entity’s exposure to currency risk is 
minimal at this stage of the operations.

INTEREST RATE RISK

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial 
instrument or cash flows associated with the instrument 
will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. 
Interest rate risk arises from fluctuations in interest bearing 
financial assets and liabilities that the consolidated entity 
uses. Interest bearing assets comprise cash and cash 
equivalents which are considered to be short-term liquid 
assets and investment decisions are governed by the 
monetary policy. Interest bearing liabilities comprise hire 
purchase and lease liabilities.

The consolidated entity’s cash and cash equivalents 
and term deposits were $2,712,566 as at 30 June 2020 
(2019: $25,074,483). Borrowings and lease liabilities were 
$165,194,686 as at 30 June 2020 (2019: $116,521,987). An 
official increase/decrease in interest rates of 100 (2019: 
100) basis points would have an (adverse)/favourable effect 
on profit before tax of $(1,624,821) (2019: ($914,475)) per 
annum. The percentage change is based on the expected 
volatility of interest rates using market data and analysts 
forecasts.

It is the consolidated entity’s policy to settle trade payables 
within the credit terms allowed and therefore not incur 
interest on overdue balances.

19 CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

  GROUP ACCOUNTING POLICY

The Group consolidation comprises all subsidiaries 
controlled by the consolidated entity. Control exists when 
the consolidated entity:

•  Has the power to direct the relevant activities such as 

key operating, financial and investing decisions;

•  Has exposure or rights to variable returns from its 

involvement with the investee such as dividends, loans 
and fees; and

In assessing control, potential voting rights that are 
presently exercisable or convertible are taken into account. 
Management uses accounting judgement in determining 
whether the consolidated entity controls an entity by 
applying the above control criteria and reviewing the 
substance of its relationship with the entity.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in 
the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date that 
control commences until the date that control ceases. 
The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared 
for the same reporting period as the parent entity, using 
consistent accounting policies with adjustments made to 
bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may 
exist.

External non controlling interests are allocated their share 
of total comprehensive income and are presented within 
equity in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position, 
separately from the equity of securityholders.

27 EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
On 10 July 2020, the consolidated entity settled an 
entitlement offer to raise $15,337,500 by issuing 
40,900,000 ordinary shares at 37.5 cents per share. Net of 
costs the entitlement offer raised $14,598,213.

Since the end of the financial year and up until the date of 
this report the consolidated entity has negotiated further 
rent relief in relation to its leases.  As a result of these 
negotiations the following will be impacted within the 2021 
financial year pursuant to ‘AASB 2020-4 Covid-19-Related 
Rent Concessions’: rent concession income of $413,202 
will be recognised; and lease modifications resulting 
in an increase to right-of-use assets of $1,666,258 and 
corresponding increase to lease liabilities of $1,253,056 
will be recognised.

In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 
Victorian Government introduced stage 4 lockdowns 
in August 2020 forcing the closure of the consolidated 
entities’ Victorian locations.  The impact of the COVID-19 
pandemic remains ongoing and it is not practicable 
to estimate and quantify the potential impact after the 
reporting date as it is dependent on many factors outside 
of the control of the consolidated entity including the 
length of the Victorian restrictions.

No other matters or circumstance has arisen since 30 June

26 NEW OR AMENDED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS  
  AND INTERPRETATIONS ADOPTED

AASB 2018-7 AMENDMENTS TO AUSTRALIAN 
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - DEFINITION OF 
MATERIAL 
The amendments refine the definition of material in AASB 
101 to clarify the definition of material and its application by 
improving the wording and aligning the definition across 
AASB standards and other publications.  The amendment 
also includes some supporting requirements in AASB 101 
in the definition to give it more prominence and clarifies 
the explanation accompanying the definition of material.  
The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2020.  This amendment is 
unlikely to impact the financial statements.

AASB 2019-1 AMENDMENTS TO AUSTRALIAN 
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - REFERENCES TO THE 
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
The revised conceptual framework: reintroduces the 
terms stewardship and prudence; introduces a new 
asset definition that focuses on rights and a new liability 
definition that is likely to be broader than the definition 
it replaces but does not change the distinction between 
a liability and an equity instrument; removes from the 
asset and liability definitions references to the expected 
flow of economic benefits - this lowers the hurdle for 
identifying the existence of an asset or liability and puts 
more emphasis on reflecting uncertainty in measurement; 
discussed historical cost and current value measures 
and provides some guidance on how the IASB would go 
about selecting a measurement basis for a particular asset 
or liability; states that the primary measure for financial 
performance is profit or loss, and that only in exceptional 
circumstances will the IASB use other comprehensive 
income and only for income or expenses that arise from 
a change in the current value of an asset or liability; and 
discussed uncertainty, derecognition, unit of account, the 
reporting entity and combined financial statements.  The 
amendments are effective for annual reporting periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2020.  The consolidated 
entity has not yet assessed the impact of the amendments.

AASB 2020-4 AMENDMENTS TO AUSTRALIAN 
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - COVID-19 RELATED 
RENT CONCESSIONS
This standard amends AASB 16 to provide a practical 
expedient that permits lessees not to assess whether 
rent concessions that occur as a direct consequence of 
the Covid-19 pandemic and meet specified conditions 
are lease modifications and, instead, to account for those 
rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications.  
The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods 
beginning on or after 1 June 2020.  The consolidated 
entity has adopted this amendment early within the 2020 
financial year.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Members of Victory Offices Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Victory Offices Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the
Consolidated entity), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes
in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial
statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Consolidated entity is in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001, including:

I.

giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated entity's financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its
financial performance for the year then ended; and

II.

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of
the Consolidated entity in accordance with the auditor independence
our report. We are independent of
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and
Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to
our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to
the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's
report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 27 of the financial report, which describes the effect on the operations of the company
of the COVID-19 virus and the actions taken by governments and others to contain its spread. Our opinion is not
modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of
the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial
report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matter

How our audit addressed this matter

the revenue contracts include rent

Recognition of Revenue
Refer to Note 3 in the financial statements
The Consolidated entity generates income from
providing a range of services with the main revenue
driver being the licencing of serviced and coworking
offices with a typical licence term of 12 to 18 months.
Some of
free
periods.
There is a risk that inappropriate revenue recognition
will lead to a material misstatement of income and
related receivables. The risk is heightened due to the
timing of
invoicing and contracts having several
complexities attached to them.
Furthermore, there is a fraud risk as management
has an incentive or is under pressure to engage in
financial reporting to meet board and
fraudulent
shareholder expectations.

Our audit procedures in relation to the recognition of
revenue included:

•  Reviewing the Group’s terms and conditions of

sales;

•  Ensuring that revenue has been recognised over

the correct financial period;
substantive

•  Performing

procedures on suite revenue;

analytical

review

•  Assessing the recognition and measurement of
the requirements of AASB 15

revenue against
Revenue from Contracts with Customers; and
•  Reviewing any large or unusual transactions near
if cut-off has been applied

year-end to test
appropriately.

Key Audit Matters (continued)

Valuation of Lease Liability and Right-of-Use Asset
Refer to Note 16 in the financial statements

Victory Offices Limited currently hold 23 material
leases for each of their leased office spaces across
Australia. As a result,
the relevant accounting
standard AASB 16 Leases, has a material impact on 
the Consolidated entity.

Whilst the Consolidated entity adopted this standard 
early, applying it from the year ended 30 June 2017, 
the complexity of the standard, and the extent of
judgements and estimates involved means that the
application of AASB 16, and the valuation of both the
lease liability and right-of-use asset are considered a
significant risk.

The International Accounting Standards Board
(Board) on 28 May 2020 issued an amendment to
IFRS 16 Leases to make it easier for lessees to
account for COVID-19 related rent concessions such
as rent holidays and temporary rent reductions.

Management have negotiated rent concessions for
the Group’s leased properties in response to COVID-
19. These rent concessions needed to be assessed
to determine if they are considered to be a lease
modification under AASB 16, as either a change in
the scope of the lease or change in the consideration
for a lease, and ensure the rent concessions are
appropriately treated in accordance with AASB 16 as
at 30 June 2020.

There is a complex process involved inensuring that
each lease amendment has been applied correctly by
management as at 30 June 2020.

The current economic environment, and the
restrictions imposed (particularly in Victoria) has had
a detrimental effect on Victory’s operations in the
latter part of the financial year. As a result, this has
triggered indicators of impairment in relation to value
of the right- of-use assets for each of the individual
leases.

Consequently, management have prepared value-in-
use calculations for each of the leases, representing 
the smallest cash generating unit
the
values held in the statement of financial position as
at 30 June 2020.

Our audit procedures in relation to the leases included:

Key Audit Matters (continued)

Recoverability of Accounts receivable as a Result of COVID-19
Refer to note 6 of the financial statements

Given the scale of the impact of COVID-19 and the
resulting financial crisis, there is a hightened risk that
suite revenue will decrease significantly and a risk
that customers may not be able to pay their debts to 
Victory as and when they fall due.

Management have assessed the recoverability of the
receivable balances and recognised a provision for
expected credit losses as at 30 June 2020.

There is a risk that the expected credit loss provision 
calculated by management is not in compliance with 
AASB 9 Financial Instruments.

Our audit procedures in relation to trade receivables
included:

•  Reviewing management’s expected credit

loss

to ensure compliance against AASB 9

model
including all relevant disclosures;

•  Reviewing the accuracy of management’s
well

calculations
reasonableness
assumptions applied within the model; and

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included
in the Consolidated entity's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 but does not include the financial report
and the auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of 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 Consolidated entity
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 Consolidated entity or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and
Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar2.pdf.
This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Report on the Remuneration Report

Opinion on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors' report for the year ended 30 June 2020.

with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

Responsibilities

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report
in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
