concern. 2SG Wholesale is a telecommunications and
data wholesaler based in Brisbane, Queensland which
provides Australian Managed Service Providers, ISPs and
System Integrators with access to the latest in hardware
and connectivity solutions from leading brands.
2SG Wholesale’s mobile broadband capability
provides Australian ISPs the opportunity to sell
a wireless broadband solution via the Optus 4G
Network. Integration with Australia’s premier carriers
facilitates the delivery of the latest fixed line, mobile
connectivity and hardware solutions country-wide.
In FY19, 2SG Wholesale achieved revenue of circa
$7 million, with revenue from mobile broadband a
key growth driver. 2SG Wholesale also brings a highly
capable and experienced team that is well positioned
to drive further growth from immediate cross sell
opportunities, and a dedicated technical support team.

provides Australian ISPs the opportunity to sell

Following completion of the acquisition, co-founder
of 2SG Wholesale, Jason Gomersall, has joined
the Vonex board as a Non-Executive Director. Mr
Gomersall is a former Director of 2SG Wholesale and
is the Founder, CEO and Managing Director of iseek
iseek Communications. Mr Gommersall has long been
at the forefront of the telecommunications industry
and the mobile phone market since being one of the
foundation franchisees of the Optus World chain of
retail stores in the 1990s.
Completion of the due diligence of 2SG Wholesale
was announced 12 February 2020, with completion of
the acquisition taking place in March 2020.
Wholesale Operations
2SG Wholesale is a telecommunications and data
wholesaling business which provides Australian
Managed Service Providers, ISPs and System
Integrators with access to the latest in hardware
and connectivity solutions from leading brands. Its
provision of fast, secure, business-grade wireless
broadband has met strong customer demand amid
the rise of working from home across Australia during
recent months – a trend that is set to continue.
2SG Wholesale has brought a new dimension to
the Company’s business and has allowed Vonex to
expand its offering to small and medium enterprise
(SME) customers with new products. These new
products include fleet mobile, mobile broadband and
NBN with 4G backup. 2SG’s multi-year investment in a
sophisticated network environment is now contributing
to a meaningful relationship with Optus Wholesale,
helping to build traffic on the Optus network by
quickly deploying complex solutions for a broad base
of customers.
Vonex plans to expand its network through direct
integration to NBN points of interconnect in strategic
national locations via 2SG Wholesale. Building upon its
existing points of interconnect and those it activated
during the June quarter, Vonex will further improve its
network quality by adding more direct interconnects
with the NBN throughout FY21.
Through 2SG, Vonex is responding to strong interest
in the market by enabling a direct NBN relationship
for key existing and new wholesale partners. This
streamlined supply chain allows customers to enjoy
reduced lead times and enhanced assurance while
positioning the Company with the best possible
commercial structure to leverage future wholesale
NBN growth.
New Wholesale Customer Wins
This model is yielding new customer wins by
partnering with organisations of national scale. 2SG
Wholesale recently signed an agreement to supply
business grade layer 2 mobile broadband to Discovery
Technology, a subsidiary of business technology
solutions leader and ASX300 company, Data#3 Ltd
(ASX: DTL). Discovery Technology delivers bespoke
public Wi-Fi solutions to a broad range of industries
including shopping centres, airports, universities,
councils, smart cities, hotels, transport, retailers,
supermarkets and stadiums. 2SG is partnering with
Discovery to enable the delivery of 4G and 5G
network services, powered by Vonex, through to
Discovery and wider Data#3 customers.
The Company’s smooth integration of 2SG Wholesale
has been accompanied by growth in new customers
and order value. Vonex added 5 five new wholesale
customers in May and June 2020, followed by others,
including Discovery Technologies, in July 2020.
The Company also achieved an increase of 75% in
mobile broadband orders in Q4 FY20 compared to
the same period in FY19. This promising growth reflects
achievement of the cross-selling opportunities which
Vonex identified prior to acquiring 2SG Wholesale.
The Company has also scoped and commenced its
plans to integrate 2SG Wholesale’s billing with Vonex’s
existing platform, with completion expected in Q2
FY21. Vonex will continue to pursue both organic and

acquisition-led opportunities to grow its Wholesale
business in FY21.
Retail Growth and Strong Customer Satisfaction
Vonex’s Retail operations continue to expand, with
new customer additions running at elevated levels
through the depths of the COVID-19 crisis. The
Company achieved Total Contract Value of new
customer sales in the six months from January to June
2020 of $3.7 million, an increase of 65% on the PcP, with
growth accelerating in the June quarter. Vonex’s value
proposition is resonating with its target market of
Australian SMEs, many of which have been attracted
by Vonex’s ability to rapidly provision scalable cloud-
based business phone systems.
Vonex passed the 35,000 active customer mark for
its cloud-based phone system platform in December
2019 and by financial year end, it was nearing 40,000
active users, representing another strong year of
growth. This was despite a slight decline during
the year due to call centres being closed amid the
COVID-19 pandemic. Registered users of these Private
Branch Exchange (“PBX”) connections are a key
indicator of business development progress as Vonex
penetrates the multibillion-dollar Australian market for
telco services to SMEs.
Vonex focuses on providing a great customer
experience as a core component of its differentiated
service offering. The Company is delivering strong
customer satisfaction, achieving a Net Promoter Score
(NPS) of 54 in April 2020. This measure of customer
loyalty is assessed on a scale from -100 to +100,
with a score of >30 viewed as an exceptional result,
particularly during a month in which COVID-19 caused
global disruptions and prompted Vonex’s Philippine-
based support desk to work from home.
Vonex plans to continue to improve its customer
experience through upcoming service updates to
LINK, the Company’s Private Branch Exchange (PBX)
management platform. Updates will enable hands on
access to make live changes to user information, call
handling and after hours options all available from a
mobile device. The LINK platform also communicates
user information changes live to the billing platform to
reflect on the customer’s monthly telephone bill.
In early July 2020, Vonex expanded upon the Qantas
Business Rewards offering, adding mobile plans to
the suite of services on which Qantas Points can be
earned, with a view to gaining further market share
with Australian SME customers.
Oper8tor Development
Oper8tor is a disruptive aggregated communications
platform which targets the inclusion of Conference,
Voice, Message and Video functionality, facilitating
user communication across a broad swathe of
channels. The mobile app aims to seamlessly link
all voice calls as well as messaging across multiple
platforms and devices.
Vonex completed major development works required
after third-party testing identified opportunities to
strengthen Version 1. Following technical challenges
during Q1 and Q2 of FY20, Vonex completed a rebuild
of Oper8tor’s Skype connector, the inclusion of group
SMS capability on a single thread (previously only
peer-to-peer), and significant coding requirements
that stemmed from Google’s revision of Two Factor
Authentication (“TFA”), which culminated in Vonex
developing a solution to continuously monitor and
comply with the dynamic TFA environment.
Further third-party testing followed this period of
development. Vonex successfully released 216 beta
test builds of Oper8tor to Apple’s mobile app testing
service, TestFlight, and Google Play’s mobile app
testing service. The Company moved Oper8tor’s
development into final stages of testing in the March
quarter with a closed user group.
In March 2020, Vonex announced the successful
completion of third-party testing of its Oper8tor App,
including testing of cross-platform message and call
blast functionality. The third-party testing verified
Oper8tor’s cross-platform message functionality
across multiple social media platforms as well as
SMS and its ability to call blast landline and mobile
numbers. Vonex commenced controlled group testing
with up to 500 users to review the user experience and
to test the stability and scalability of Oper8tor V1.0.
During the March quarter, Vonex was granted a
patent from the US Patents Office for the unique
Oper8tor platform. The patent protects Vonex’s unique
system and method for establishing communications
over a plurality of communications platforms.
Following closed user group testing, Vonex made
v1.1 of the Oper8tor app available to test from the
Apple and Google app stores, allowing investors and
other interested parties to participate and provide
feedback by downloading the app. Using valuable
feedback from early users, the Company advanced
the app to version 1.6, with a greatly improved user
experience which aligns with the newly revamped
Oper8tor website, www.oper8tor.com.
5
While Vonex intends to pursue its strategy to roll
out the Oper8tor app through a consumer value
proposition, the Company has identified attractive
shorter-term commercial applications and has
focused its recent product development to address
this potential market.
The Company expanded Oper8tor’s functionality
further during the June quarter, developing and
launching artificial intelligence-driven call recording
within the app, providing a highly requested feature
among enterprise and SME customers. Vonex
complemented this feature with the launch of real-
time call transcription, with accuracy continuously
improving and email transcriptions delivered to users
within seconds of a call ending.
These features, along with the inclusion of Conference,
Voice, Message and Video functionality across
multiple communications platforms and devices,
underpin a focused B2B growth strategy for Oper8tor
which facilitates growth in users and recurring revenue
through a software as a service (SaaS) model, with
cross-platform calling for the mobile worker as its key
value proposition.
The Company developed a marketing plan and
product roadmap which aligns with this vision, and
in conjunction with Ragnar Capital Partners LLP in
London, is actively engaging with potential strategic
investors and technical partners who can help
Oper8tor to execute these goals faster.
PBX User Growth
On 7 November 2019, the Company advised that it
continues to deliver consistent user growth, reaching
a record 35,000 registered Private Branch Exchange
(PBX) users. In March 2020, the Company exceeded
the 37,500 active user mark, with growth driven
by direct marketing to Qantas Business Rewards
members. Growth in registered PBX users indicates
business development progress as Vonex penetrates
the multibillion-dollar Australian market for telco
services to SMEs.
Despite a temporary decline due to call centres
being closed amid COVID-19 lockdown, Vonex has
demonstrates strong growth in the last 12 months with
close to 40,000 active users on the platform.
Qantas Business Rewards (QBR) Partnership
On 19 June 2019, Vonex announced that it had entered
a partnership as the exclusive VoIP and Hosted Phone
System telecommunications provider to Australia’s
largest business to business loyalty program, Qantas
Directors’ Report
Business Rewards (QBR). The official launch of the
partnership was announced 16 August, 2019.
Through this partnership, businesses of any size can
now earn unlimited QBR points for every purchase
made with Vonex’s monthly ONdesk cloud-based
phone plans – including its Traveller app, or its
Commercial, Business, or Executive advanced plans
which come with the most advanced IP desktop phone
with built-in Bluetooth and WiFi, the Yealink T5 series.
The partnership will provide valuable marketing
support to Vonex over the next 24 months, presenting
significant growth opportunities for Vonex.
COVID-19
In light of the global COVID-19 pandemic, Vonex
implemented a range of initiatives in March 2020 to
minimise impact of the virus on its operations. These
included:
> The Company’s call centre in Cebu in the Philippines
remains open as normal with a remote working
strategy in place if Cebu staff are placed in lock
down and cannot attend work.
> Handset stock sourced from China has been
stockpiled and Vonex has several months of
inventory to continue to fulfil new and existing orders
without new stock arriving.
> Adapting nimbly to the current climate, the
Company rapidly rolled out ‘work from home’
marketing campaigns to existing and potential SME
customers which highlight how Vonex’s Hosted PBX
technology enables a seamless transition for staff
to work from home. These campaigns contributed
towards Vonex achieving the strongest month of
new customer sales in its history in March 2020.
Corporate
Capital Raising
On 25 June 2020, Vonex announced it had received
binding commitments to raise $1.4 million (before costs)
through a placement of 14,736,843 new shares at an
issue price of $0.095 per share. The Placement price
of $0.095 represented a 13.6% discount to the closing
price on 22 June 2020 of $0.11 and a 15.5% discount to
the 15-day VWAP of $0.1125.
The Company received the support of a strong
mix of institutional investors across Australia and
New Zealand who were introduced by PAC Partners
Securities Pty Ltd, who acted as Lead Manager to
the Placement. Vonex will apply the proceeds of
the Placement to provide balance sheet support to
fund growth initiatives. These initiatives encompass

Senior Leadership Changes
Vonex made several internal appointments to
strengthen management capabilities across its
business. Christo Da Silva was appointed as Vonex’s
Chief Technology Officer through an internal
promotion. Mr Da Silva has been with the Company
since 2010, and designed and developed processes
which have enhanced the reliability, robustness and
scalability of Vonex’s voice services.
The Company’s existing Chief Technology Officer, Angus
Parker, has transitioned to CEO of Oper8tor and will
assume responsibility for Oper8tor’s commercialisation
efforts.
Vonex also appointed 2SG Wholesale employee,
Reza Lohrasb, to the newly created role of Executive
General Manager of Wholesale.
Engagement of Advisor
In March 2020, Vonex engaged London-based
investment advisory firm Ragnar Capital Partners LLP to
target potential partners who could help take Oper8tor
through its rollout and commercialisation phases now
that testing of the platform is largely complete.
Cash Position
The Company ended the financial year with a strong
cash balance of $4.81 million.
Outlook
The Company’s focus continues to be on the
recruitment of new Channel Partners across Australia
to support the anticipated growth driven by the NBN
rollout. National marketing programs in Australia’s
capital cities remain underway to gain traction
with SME customers and facilitate strong growth in
registered PBX users.
With the latest Communications Report from the
Australian Communications and Media Authority
(ACMA) forecasting Australian telecommunications
industry revenue to grow from $44 billion in 2018 to
$47 billion by 2022, Vonex continues to see a positive
outlook for growth in sales as the Company’s customer
base expands.
Directors’ Report
both expanded marketing and continued growth by
acquisition, building out cross-selling opportunities and
supplementing the Company’s organic growth profile.
R&D Tax Rebate
On 28 October 2019, the Company announced that
it had received a Research and Development Tax
Incentive rebate of $0.63 million for FY19 (FY18: $0.31
million) from the Australian Government’s Research
and Development Tax Incentive Program for eligible
R&D activities conducted by the Company. The
refund was in respect of eligible R&D activities
across Vonex’s portfolio, including the Oper8tor App,
Sign On Glass (Channel Partner Portal), and AMPT
Software (Automated Management and Provisioning
Tool). Proceeds from the incentive are in line with the
Company’s expectations and will support Vonex’s R&D
initiatives in FY20.
Iron Ore Royalty Sale
On 3 February 2020 the Company announced it
has entered into a preliminary purchase and sale
agreement to dispose of its entitlements to iron ore
production royalties derived from the Koolyanobbing
Iron Ore Project to SilverStream SEZC, a Canadian
mining-focused royalty and streaming company, for
total consideration of up to A$2,500,000 (“Royalty
Disposal”).
The Company received its first tranche payment
of $1.75m in May 2020, and is entitled to additional
consideration from the Royalty Disposal of up to
A$750,000, tranched according to the following
milestones:
> A$250,000 cash payable upon three million dry
metric tonnes of iron ore being produced and
accounted for in royalty invoices from Koolyanobbing
> A$500,000 cash payable upon five million dry metric
tonnes of iron ore being produced and accounted
for in royalty invoices from Koolyanobbing.
Board Changes
Co-founder of 2SG Wholesale, Jason Gomersall, was
appointed to the Vonex board as a Non-executive
Director in February 2020. Mr Gomersall is a former
Director of 2SG Wholesale and is the Founder, CEO
and Managing Director of iseek Communications.
He has long been at the forefront of the
telecommunications industry and the mobile phone
market since being one of the foundation franchisees
of the Optus World chain of retail stores in the 1990s.

Directors’ Report
Significant Changes in the State of Affairs
There have been no other significant changes in the
state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the
financial year.
Events after the reporting period
Subsequent to the reporting period on 1 July 2020
Vonex raised $1,400,000 in a share placement via the
issue of 14,736,843 ordinary fully-paid shares (at $0.095
per share).
COVID-19
On 31 January 2020, the World Health Organisation
(‘WHO’) announced a global health emergency
because of a new strain of coronavirus originating
in Wuhan, China (COVID-19 outbreak) and the risks
to the international community as the virus spreads
globally beyond its point of origin. Because of the
rapid increase in exposure globally, on 11 March 2020,
the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a
pandemic.
The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues
to evolve at the date of this report. The company
is therefore uncertain as to the full impact that the
pandemic will have on its financial condition, liquidity,
and future results of operation during future years.
Management is actively monitoring the global situation
and its impact on the Company’s financial condition,
liquidity, operations, supplier, industry, and workforce.
Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and
the global responses to curb the spread, the Company
is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19
outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition,
or liquidity in future years.
Although the Company cannot estimate the length
or gravity of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak at
this time, if the pandemic continues, it may have a
material adverse effect on the Company’s results of
future operations, financial position, and liquidity in
future years.
Apart from the disclosures made within this report, no
other matter 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.

Consolidated Notes
to the Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements and notes
represent those of Vonex Limited and the entities it
controlled during the year (“the consolidated entity”).
Vonex Limited is a public company, incorporated and
domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s
registered office and principal place of business is
Level 8, 99 St Georges Terrace, Perth, WA, 6000.
The separate financial statements of the parent
entity, Vonex Limited, have not been presented within
this financial report as permitted by the Corporations
Act 2001.
The financial statements were authorised for issue by
the Board on 31 August 2020.
Note 1 / Statement of Significant
Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the
preparation of the financial statements are set out
below. These policies have been consistently applied
to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
New, revised or amending Accounting Standards
and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new,
revised or amending Accounting Standards and
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting
Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are mandatory for the
current reporting period.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations
are most relevant to the consolidated entity:
AASB 16 Leases
This standard is applicable to annual reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The
standard replaces AASB 117 ‘Leases’ and for lessees
will eliminate the classifications of operating leases
and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a ‘right-
of-use’ asset will be capitalised in the statement of
financial position, measured as the present value
of the unavoidable future lease payments to be
made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to
short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of
low-value assets (such as personal computers and
small office furniture) where an accounting policy
choice exists whereby either a ‘right-of-use’ asset is
recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit
or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the
capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for
lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial
direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future
restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-
23
line operating lease expense recognition will be
replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased
asset (included in operating costs) and an interest
expense on the recognised lease liability (included in
finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the
expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will
be higher when compared to lease expenses under
AASB 117. However EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest,
Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be
improved as the operating expense is replaced by
interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss
under AASB 16. For classification within the statement
of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated
into both a principal (financing activities) and interest
(either operating or financing activities) component.
For lessor accounting, the standard does not
substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases.
Adjustments recognised on adoption of AASB 16
On adoption of AASB 16, the Group recognised lease
liabilities in relation to leases which had previously
been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the
principles of AASB 117. These liabilities were measured
at the present value of the remaining lease payments,
discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing
rate as of 1 July 2019. The weighted average lessee’s
incremental borrowing rate applied to these lease
liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 6%
Right-of-use assets were measured on a retrospective
basis as if AASB 16 had been applied since the
commencement date, but discounted using the
lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of
initial application.
The impact of the new standard that was recognised
at 1 July reflected a reported increase in assets (right-
of-use assets) by $728,812 and liabilities increase by
$778,687 (lease liability and make good provision). The
total impact on retained earnings was $49,875.
Impact of adoption on the current reporting period:
The impact on the Group’s profit or loss and other
comprehensive income statement, compared with the
amount that would have been reflected under AASB
117, for the year ended 30 June 2020 is:
Decrease in operating lease expense - $213,375
Increase in finance cost expense - $52,393
Increase in right-of-use asset depreciation - $242,538
Impact on profit - $81,556
Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements
a) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate
the assets, liabilities and result of entities controlled
by Vonex Limited at the end of the reporting period.
A controlled entity is an entity over which Vonex
Limited has the ability or right to govern the financial
and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from
the entity’s activities. In preparing the consolidated
financial statements, all inter-group balances and
transactions between entities in the consolidated
entity have been eliminated in full on consolidation.
Where controlled entities have entered or left the
consolidated entity during the year, the financial
performance of those entities is included only for the
period of the year that they were controlled.
b) Business Combinations
Business combinations occur where an acquirer
obtains control over one or more businesses and
results in the consolidation of its assets and liabilities.
A business combination is accounted for by applying
the acquisition method, unless it is a combination
involving entities or businesses under common control.
The acquisition method requires that for each business
combination one of the combining entities must be
identified as the acquirer (i.e. parent entity). The
business combination will be accounted for as at the
acquisition date, which is the date that control over
the acquiree is obtained by the parent entity. At this
date, the parent shall recognise, in the consolidated
financial statements, and subject to certain limited
exceptions, the fair value of the identifiable assets
acquired and liabilities assumed. In addition,
contingent liabilities of the acquiree will be recognised
where a present obligation has been incurred and its
fair value can be reliably measured.
The acquisition may result in the recognition of
goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The
method adopted for the measurement of goodwill will
impact on the measurement of any non-controlling
interest to be recognised in the acquiree where less
than 100% ownership interest is held in the acquiree.
The acquisition date fair value of the consideration
transferred for a business combination plus the
acquisition date fair value of any previously held
equity interest shall form the cost of the investment
in the separate financial statements. Consideration
may comprise the sum of the assets transferred by
the acquirer, liabilities incurred by the acquirer to
the former owners of the acquiree and the equity
interests issued by the acquirer. Fair value uplifts in the
value of pre-existing equity holdings are taken to the
statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive
income. Where changes in the value of such equity
holdings had previously been recognised in other
comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to
profit or loss.
Included in the measurement of consideration
transferred is any asset or liability resulting from
a contingent consideration arrangement. Any
obligation incurred relating to contingent
consideration is classified as either a financial liability
or equity instrument, depending upon the nature of
the arrangement. Rights to refunds of consideration
previously paid are recognised as a receivable.
Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent
consideration classified as equity is not remeasured
and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within
equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset
or a liability is remeasured each reporting period to
fair value through the statement of profit and loss and
other comprehensive income unless the change in
value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.
All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business
combination are expensed to the statement of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income.
c) Income Tax
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year
comprises current income tax expense (income) and
deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or
loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated
using applicable income tax rates enacted, or
substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting
period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore
measured at the amounts expected to be paid to
(recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in
deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances
during the year as well unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (revenue)
is charged or credited outside profit or loss when
the tax related to items that are recognised outside
profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained
based on temporary differences arising between the
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax
assets also result where amounts have been fully
expensed but future tax deductions are available. No
deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial
recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business
combination, where there is no effect on accounting
or taxable profit or loss.
Vonex Limited / for the year ended 30 June 2020
24
Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated
at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the
period when the asset is realised or the liability is
settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively
enacted at the end of the reporting period. Their
measurement also reflects the manner in which
management expects to recover or settle the carrying
amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences
and unused tax losses are recognised only to the
extent that it is probable that future taxable profit
will be available against which the benefits of the
deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to
investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates,
and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are not recognised where the timing of the reversal
of the temporary difference can be controlled and
it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the
foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where
a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it
is intended that net settlement or simultaneous
realisation and settlement of the respective asset and
liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off
exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to
income taxes levied by the same taxation authority
on either the same taxable entity or different taxable
entities where it is intended that net settlement
or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the
respective asset and liability will occur in future periods
in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or
liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
d) Plant and Equipment
Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost
or fair value, less, where applicable, any accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses. The carrying
amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually
by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the
recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable
amount is assessed on the basis of the expected
net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s
employment and subsequent disposal. The expected
net cash flows have been discounted to their present
values in determining recoverable amounts.
The cost of fixed assets constructed included the cost
of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an
appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying
amount or recognised as a separate asset, as
appropriate, only when it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the item will flow
to the company and the cost of the item can be
measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance
are charged to profit or loss.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of plant and equipment is depreciated on the straight line method over their useful lives
commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the
shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
Class Fixed Asset
Furniture and Fixtures
Plant and Equipment
Leasehold Improvements
Motor Vehicles
Computer Equipment
Depreciation Rate
15% - 25%
15% - 33.3%
12%
20%
50%
The asset’s residual values and useful lives are reviewed
and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each
reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written
down immediately to its recoverable amount if the
asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated
recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by
comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These
gains and losses are included in the statement of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income.
25
Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements
(i) Plant and Equipment
The asset’s residual values and useful lives are reviewed
and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each
reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written
down immediately to its recoverable amount if the
asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated
recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by
comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These
gains and losses are included in the statement of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income.
(ii) Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the consolidated entity reviews
the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets
to determine whether there is any indication that those
assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists,
the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher
of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in
use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any
excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable
amount is expensed to the statement of profit or loss
and other comprehensive income.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to
be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount
of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An
impairment loss is recognised in the statement of profit
and loss and other comprehensive income immediately,
unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which
case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation
decrease. Where an impairment loss subsequently
reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased
to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but
only to the extent that the increased carrying amount
does not exceed the carrying amount that would
have been determined had no impairment loss been
recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an
impairment loss is recognised in the statement of profit
and loss and other comprehensive income immediately,
unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which
case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a
revaluation increase.
Impairment testing is performed annually for intangible
assets with indefinite useful lives.
e) Employee Entitlements
Provision is made for the consolidated entity’s obligation
for short-term employee benefits. Short-term employee
benefits are benefits that are expected to be settled
wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual
reporting period in which the employees render the
related service, including wages, salaries and sick leave.
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the
(undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the
obligation is settled.
The consolidated entity’s obligations for short-term
employee benefits such as wages and salaries are
recognised as a part of current trade and other
payables in the statement of financial position. The
consolidated entity’s obligations for employees’ annual
leave entitlements are recognised as provisions in the
statement of financial position.
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 as 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.
Defined contribution superannuation expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation
plans are expensed in the period in which they are
incurred.
f) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity
has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of
past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of
economic benefits will result and that outflow can be
reliably measured.
g) Investments and Other Financial Assets
Investments and other financial assets are initially
measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included
as part of the initial measurement, except for financial
assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets
are subsequently measured at either amortised
cost or fair value depending on their classification.
Classification is determined based on both the business
model within which such assets are held and the
contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial
asset unless an accounting mismatch is being avoided.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights
to receive cash flows have expired or have been
transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When
there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or
all of a financial asset, it’s carrying value is written off.
Vonex Limited / for the year ended 30 June 2020
26
Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or
at fair value through other comprehensive income are
classified as financial assets at fair value through profit
or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either:
(i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the
purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention
of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as
such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value
movements are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income
Financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income include equity investments
which the consolidated entity intends to hold for the
foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to
classify them as such upon initial recognition.
Impairment of financial assets
The consolidated entity recognises a loss allowance
for expected credit losses on financial assets which are
either measured at amortised cost or fair value through
other comprehensive income. The measurement of
the loss allowance depends upon the consolidated
entity’s assessment at the end of each reporting period
as to whether the financial instrument’s credit risk has
increased significantly since initial recognition, based
on reasonable and supportable information that is
available, without undue cost or effort to obtain.
Where there has not been a significant increase
in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition,
a 12-month expected credit loss allowance is
estimated. This represents a portion of the asset’s
lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable
to a default event that is possible within the next 12
months. Where a financial asset has become credit
impaired or where it is determined that credit risk
has increased significantly, the loss allowance is
based on the asset’s lifetime expected credit losses.
The amount of expected credit loss recognised is
measured on the basis of the probability weighted
present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over
the life of the instrument discounted at the original
effective interest rate.
For financial assets mandatorily measured at fair
value through other comprehensive income, the loss
allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income
with a corresponding expense through profit or loss. In
all other cases, the loss allowance reduces the asset’s
carrying value with a corresponding expense through
profit or loss.
h) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and equivalents include cash on hand, deposits
held at call with banks and other short term highly
liquid investments. For the purpose of the statement
of cash flows, cash includes deposits at call, which are
readily convertible to cash on hand and subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value.
i) Revenue and Other Income
Revenue from contracts with customers
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 initially
recognised as deferred revenue in the form of a
separate refund liability.
Rendering of telecommunications services
Revenue from the rendering of retail
telecommunications services includes the provision
of data, internet, voice and other services. Revenue
from the rendering of data and internet services to
consumers and corporate customers is recognised
on a straight-line basis over the period the service is
provided. Revenue for voice services is recognised at
completion of the call. Revenue from wholesale hosted
PBX service customers is charged based on the
number of PBX registrations recorded on a daily basis
and invoiced monthly in arrears.
Where revenue for services is invoiced to customers
and/or received in advance, the amount that is
unearned at a reporting date is recognised in the
statement of financial position as deferred income,
and its recognition in the profit or loss is deferred until
the period to which the invoiced amount relates.
27
Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements
Sale of goods
shown inclusive of GST.
Revenue from the sale of goods represents sales of
customer equipment to consumer and corporate
customers. Revenue from the sale of goods is
recognised at the point in time when the customer
obtains control of the goods or service.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST
components of cash flows arising from investing or
financing activities, which are recoverable from or
payable to the ATO, are presented as operating
cash flows.
m) Trade and Other Payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods, services
and other commitments provided to the consolidated
entity at the end of the reporting period that remain
unpaid.
Trade payables are recognised at their transaction
price. Trade payables are obligations on the
basis of normal credit terms. Trade payables are
predominately unsecured.
n) Trade and Other Receivables
All trade receivables are recognised initially at the
transaction price (i.e. cost) less any provision for
impairment and allowance for any uncollectable
amounts. Receivable terms for the consolidated entity
are due for settlement within 4-30 days from the
date of the invoice. Collect ability of trade debtors is
reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months
of the end of the reporting period are classified as
current assets. All other receivables are classified as
non-current assets.
At the end of each reporting period, the carrying
amount of trade and other receivables are reviewed to
determine whether there is any objective evidence that
the amounts are not recoverable. If so, an impairment
loss is recognised immediately in the statement of
profit or loss and other comprehensive income. When
identified, debts which are known to be uncollectible
are written off.
Revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables
Where two or more revenue-generating activities or
deliverables are sold under a single arrangement,
each deliverable is considered to be a separate unit
of accounting and is accounted for separately.
Interest
Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues using the
effective interest rate method, which for floating rate
financial assets is the rate inherent in the instrument.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or
when the right to receive payment is established.
j) Contract Assets
Contract assets are recognised when the
consolidated entity has satisfied the performance
obligations in the contract and either has not
recognised a receivable to reflect its unconditional
right to consideration or the consideration is not due.
Contract assets are treated as financial assets for
impairment purposes.
k) Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction or production of assets that necessarily
take a substantial period of time to prepare for their
intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those
assets, until such time as they assets are substantially
ready for their intended use of sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised as an
expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Borrowing costs predominately consist of interest and
other costs that the company incurs in connection
with the borrowing of funds
l) Goods and Services Tax (“GST”)
The company is registered for GST. Revenues,
expenses and assets and liabilities are recognised
net of the amount of GST, except where the amount
of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian
Taxation Office (“ATO”). In these circumstances the
GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of
the asset or as part of the item of the expense. The
net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to,
the ATO is included with other receivables or payables
in the statement of financial position. Receivables and
payables in the statement of financial position are

associated with closure of the premises. The
calculation of this provision requires assumptions such
as application of closure dates and cost estimates.
The provision recognised for each site is periodically
reviewed and updated based on the facts and
circumstances available at the time. Changes to
the estimated future costs for sites are recognised in
the statement of financial position by adjusting the
asset and the provision. Reductions in the provision
that exceed the carrying amount of the asset will be
recognised in profit or loss.
q) 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.
Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements
o) Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative
figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in
presentation for the current financial year.
Expenses in relation Dealer Royalty commissions have
been reclassified in the comparative year from cost
of goods sold to operating expenses. Management
determined during the year that these expenses have
no direct correlation to sales revenue and therefore
should be classified and operating expenses. This
reclassification has resulted in an increase in gross profit
of $570,908 and a corresponding increase in operating
expenses in 2019.
p) Critical Accounting Estimates & Judgements
The directors evaluate estimates and judgements
incorporated into the financial statements based
on historical knowledge and best available current
information. Estimates assume a reasonable
expectation of future events and are based on current
trends and economic data, obtained both externally
and within the consolidated entity.
There have been no judgements, apart from those
involving estimation, in applying accounting policies
that have a significant effect on the amounts
recognised in these financial statements. Following
is a summary of the key assumptions concerning the
future and other key sources of estimation at reporting
date that have not been disclosed elsewhere in these
financial statements.
Share based payment transactions
The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-
settled transactions by reference to the fair value of
the equity instruments at the date at which they are
granted. The fair value is determined by management
using an appropriate valuation model that use
estimates and assumptions. Management exercises
judgement in preparing the valuations and these
may affect the value of any share-based payments
recorded in the financial statements (refer to notes 30
for further details).
Impairment
The consolidated entity assesses impairment at the
end of each reporting period by evaluation conditions
and events specific to the consolidated entity that
may be indicative of impairment triggers. Validity for
future operations are all elements that are considered.
Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed
using value-in-use calculations which incorporate
various key assumptions.
Lease make good provision
A provision has been made for the present value
of anticipated costs for future restoration of leased
premises. The provision includes future cost estimates
29
r) Segment Reporting
Identification of reportable operating segments
The consolidated entity is organised into three
operating segments based on differences in products
and services provided: computer manufacturing,
computer retailing and computer distribution. These
operating segments are based on 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. There is no
aggregation of operating segments.
Other segments represent the investment property
holdings and rental income of the consolidated entity.
The CODM reviews EBITDA (earnings before interest,
tax, depreciation and amortisation). The accounting
policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM
are consistent with those adopted in the financial
statements.
The information reported to the CODM is on a
monthly basis.
Types of products and services
The principal products and services of each of these
operating segments are as follows:
Retail Telecommunications: engaged in the sale of
hardware and the full suite of telecommunication
services including the provision of data, internet, voice
(including IP voice) and billing services within Australia.
Wholesale Telecommunications: provides wholesale
customers access to the core Vonex PBX, call
termination services, NBN and 4G mobile broadband
at wholesale rates via a “white label” model.
Corporate: engaged in managing the corporate affairs
of the Group, including capital-raising its headquarters
central functions as well as its risk management
and self-insurance activities along with special
development projects such as the Oper8tor App.
s) Intangibles
Customer List
Customer List is amortised on a straight line basis over
the period of 10 years from May 2013. The residual
values and useful lives are reviewed annually at each
balance date and adjusted, if appropriate.
Trademarks
Trademark is amortised on a straight line basis over the
period of 10 years from April 2013. The residual values
and useful lives are reviewed annually at each balance
date and adjusted, if appropriate.
Patents
Patent is amortised on a straight line basis over the
period of 10 years from April 2013. The residual values
Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements
and useful lives are reviewed annually at each balance
date and adjusted, if appropriate. The patent is
covering the “Oper8tor” development as outlined in the
Directors’ Report.
t) 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.
u) Issued Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue
of new shares or options are shown in equity as a
deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
v) Earnings Per Share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the
profit attributable to equity holders of the company,
excluding any costs of servicing equity other than
ordinary shares, by weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year,
adjusted for the bonus elements in ordinary shares
issued during the year.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in
the determination of basic earnings per share to take
into account the after income tax effect of interest
and other financing costs associated with dilutive
potential ordinary shares and the weighted average
number of shares assumed to have been issued
for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential
ordinary shares.

Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements
w) New, revised or amending Accounting
Standards and Interpretations adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations
that have recently been issued or amended but are
not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted
by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting
period ended 30 June 2020. The consolidated entity’s
assessment of the impact of these new or amended
Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most
relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below.
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting
(Conceptual Framework)
The revised Conceptual Framework is applicable
to annual reporting periods beginning on or after
1 January 2020 and early adoption is permitted.
The Conceptual Framework contains new definition
and recognition criteria as well as new guidance
on measurement that affects several Accounting
Standards. Where the consolidated entity has
relied on the existing framework in determining
its accounting policies for transactions, events
or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with
under the Australian Accounting Standards, the
consolidated entity may need to review such
policies under the revised framework. At this time,
the application of the Conceptual Framework is
not expected to have a material impact on the
consolidated entity’s financial statements.

This asset has not been recognised as an asset in the
statement of financial position as its realisation is not
considered probable. The asset will only be obtained if:
a) the company derives future assessable income of
a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable
the asset from the deductions for the loss to be
realised;
b) the company continues to comply with the
conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; and
c) no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the

Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements
The current portion for this provision includes the
total amount accrued for annual leave entitlements
and the amounts accrued for long service leave
entitlements that have vested due to employees
having completed the required period of service.
Based on past experience, the consolidated entity
does not expect the full amount of annual leave
or long service leave balances classified as current
liabilities to be settled within the next 12 months.
However, these amounts must be classified as current
liabilities since the consolidated entity does not have
an unconditional right to defer the settlement of these
amounts in the event employees wish to use their
leave entitlement.
The non-current portion for this provision pertains to
amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements
that have not yet vested in relation to those
employees who have not yet completed the required
period of service.

Note 27 / Events after the Reporting Period
Subsequent to the reporting period on 1 July 2020
Vonex raised $1,400,000 in a share placement via the
issue of 14,736,843 ordinary fully-paid shares (at $0.095
per share).
COVID-19
On 31 January 2020, the World Health Organisation
(‘WHO’) announced a global health emergency
because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in
Wuhan, China (COVID-19 outbreak) and the risks to the
international community as the virus spreads globally
beyond its point of origin. Because of the rapid increase
in exposure globally, on 11 March 2020, the WHO
classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic.
The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues
to evolve at the date of this report. The company
is therefore uncertain as to the full impact that the
pandemic will have on its financial condition, liquidity,
and future results of operation during future years.
Management is actively monitoring the global
situation and its impact on the Company’s financial
condition, liquidity, operations, supplier, industry, and
workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19
outbreak and the global responses to curb the spread,
the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the
COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial
condition, or liquidity in future years.
Although the Company cannot estimate the length
or gravity of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak at
this time, if the pandemic continues, it may have a
material adverse effect on the Company’s results of
future operations, financial position, and liquidity in
future years.
Apart from the disclosures made within this report, no
other matter 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.

Note 29 / Financial Instruments
The consolidated entity’s financial instruments consist
mainly of deposits with banks, short term investments
and accounts receivable and payable, loans to and
from related parties and commercial loans. The main
risks the consolidated entity is exposed to through its
financial instruments are interest rate risk, credit risk,
liquidity risk, price risk and foreign exchange risk.
The majority of cash at bank held by the consolidated
entity is in deposit accounts with one of the four large
Australian Banks. Considering the amount of surplus
working capital cash held by the consolidated entity
during the last 12 months in these deposit accounts, the
Board believes this was the most appropriate to ensure
an adequate return being received on funds held.
(a) Interest Rate Risk
The consolidated entity’s exposure to interest rate
risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument will
fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest
rates and effective average interest rates on those
financial assets and liabilities.
There are inter-company loans in place within the
consolidated entity and these facilities currently
attract no exposure to interest rate risk.
The consolidated entity continues to manage its
interest rate risk through a constant monitoring of
interest rates, budgets and cash flows.

financial institutions is managed by the board of
directors in accordance with approved Board policy.
Such policy requires that surplus funds are only
invested with counterparties with a Standard & Poor’s
rating of at least AA-. The following table provides
information regarding the credit risk relating to cash
and money market securities based on Standard &

amount. The consolidated entity has no financial assets and liabilities where the carrying amount exceeds the
net fair value at reporting date. The aggregate net fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and
financial liabilities are disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.
(d) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the consolidated entity might encounter difficulty in settling its debts
or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The consolidated entity manages this risk
through the following mechanisms:
> preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities
> obtaining funding from a variety of sources
> maintaining a reputable credit profile
> managing credit risk related to financial assets
> investing only in surplus cash with major financial institutions
> comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets
The consolidated entity does not have a significant exposure in terms of financial liabilities or illiquid financial
assets and is able to settle its debts or otherwise meet its obligations related to financial liabilities.
The financial asset and financial liability maturity analysis are as follows:

(e) Foreign Exchange Risk
The consolidated entity does have a minor exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies between the US and
Australian dollar. Some wholesale customers are based in the United States of America and monthly invoices are
rendered in US dollars. When invoices are paid the proceeds are converted into Australian dollars. Depending
on exchange rate fluctuations from the time the invoice is rendered and subsequently paid, the consolidated
entity may have an associated exchange rate gain or loss. Management will continue to conduct monitoring
reviews on an ongoing basis of its USA based customers.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001,

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
Intangible assets
Refer to Note 13 in the financial statements
The Group has intangible assets of $3,585,039 at
the reporting date.
to
Intangible assets of $600,000 relating
the
Oper8tor communication platform which at the
reporting date was not yet available for use, is
required to be tested annually for impairment by
comparing its carrying amount with its recoverable
amount. Management’s assessment determined
that the recoverable amount of this asset exceeded
its carrying value at the reporting date.
For the remaining intangible assets of $2,985,039
management is required to assess at the reporting
date whether there is any indication that these
assets may be impaired. Management did not
identify any indicators of impairment, and therefore
no impairment test was required to be performed.
We determined this area to be a key audit matter due
to the significant management judgements involved
in assessing the recoverable amount of the Oper8tor
communication platform and whether indicators of
impairment are present in relation to the Group’s
other intangible assets.
Acquisition of 2SG Wholesale business
Refer to Note 31 in the financial statements
The Group acquired the 2SG Wholesale business

accounting for the transaction is complex and
involves significant judgments. These include the
recognition and valuation of consideration paid and
the determination of the fair value of the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed.
How our audit addressed this matter
Our audit procedures in relation to the Oper8tor

Our audit procedures included:
Obtaining
the purchase agreement and other
associated documents to obtain an understanding
of the transaction and the related accounting
considerations;
Determination that the acquisition met the definition
of a business in accordance with Accounting
Standards;
Assessing management’s determination of
the
acquisition date, fair value of consideration paid,
assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and
Reviewing

financial
statements.
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the directors’ report 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 Group to continue as
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or 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: https://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar2.pdf. This
description forms part of our auditor's report.

in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
