MESSAGE FROM  
THE CHAIRMAN

JOHN CONOLEY
CHAIRMAN

Today, the sole business of Wameja 
(formerly eServGlobal), is to work with its 
partner Mastercard, to maximize the value 
of the HomeSend cross-border payments 
JV, of which we hold 35.68%. There are no 
operational activities outside of that. 

During 2019, we were pleased to deliver on our strategy to sell the legacy software 

business. Following completion of the sale on 25 July 2019, the Company changed 

its name to Wameja Limited. We had reshaped the business around a cluster of 

high-value, long-term customers, while drastically lowering the cost base, creating 

a robust entity capable of attracting a buyer. The Board was satisfied with the sale 

result as it allowed Wameja to focus its resources on the HomeSend JV.

The HomeSend JV reported excellent growth during the first half of 2019, with 

gross value flows up 20% in Q1 2019 (over previous quarter), and then a further 

28% increase on that figure over Q2 2019. We also saw encouraging growth in 

the average transaction value. 

The growth rate flattened somewhat to 6% in Q4 2019, however we were pleased 

that  the  growth  curve  remained  on  an  upward  trend  throughout  the  year. The 

slightly  slower  growth  in  H2  was  largely  attributed  to  notable  implementations 

taking  longer  than  expected. The  significant  increase  in  gross  value  flows  and 

average  transaction  value  in  Q1  2020  is  proof  that  the  HomeSend  strategy  is 

working. 

ANNUAL REPORT | 2019

By the end of 2019 HomeSend had established and validated 

reach  in  68  key  destination  markets.  These  are  markets 

representing more than 50% of global trade flows and greater 

than  70%  of  global  remittances. 

The Board of Wameja is pleased with the number of banks that 

went live during the year. The percentage of gross value flows 

across the HomeSend platform terminating to a bank account, 

grew  from  32%  in  December  2018,  to  55%  in  December 

2019, representing a 72% increase over 12 months.

The disposal of the legacy software business resulted in some 

Board  changes  during  the  year. The  Board  welcomed  James 

Hume  as  a  Non-Executive  Director  on  23  October  2019. 

James is also a Director of HomeSend, he previously held the 

executive  roles  of  COO  and  CTO  at  eServGlobal.  Andrew 

Hayward stepped down as CFO and Finance Director on 25 

July 2019, following the successful sale of the legacy business. 

The Company exited last year with AU$11.6M in cash. In order 

to maximize the effectiveness of our cash, we have lowered the 

ongoing Board costs and operating expenses for the business 

and are continually pursuing cost-saving measures. 

The Board notes a very strong start to 2020 by HomeSend in 

terms  of  growth  in  volumes  and  average  transaction  values. 

We  will  continue  to  track  and  report  HomeSend  KPIs.  The 

Board  of Wameja  continues  to  have  confidence  in  the  long-

term  future  of  HomeSend. 

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank our 

shareholders for their continued support.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT 

The  Directors  of  Wameja  Limited  (the  Company)  submit  herewith  the  financial  report  of  Wameja  Limited  and  its 
controlled entities (the Group) for the year ended 31 December 2019. In order to comply with the provisions of the 
Corporations Act 2001, the Directors report as follows:

The names of the Directors of the Company during or since the end of the year are: 

John Conoley 

Non-Executive Chairman

Stephen Baldwin 

Non-executive Director

Andrew Hayward 

Executive Director (resigned 25 July 2019) 

Company Secretary 

Thomas Rowe has served as Company Secretary of Wameja Limited (formerly eServGlobal) since 6 April 2011. 

Principle activities 

Prior to the sale of its core operating business to Seamless Distribution Systems in 2019, Wameja Limited (formerly 
eServGlobal)  was  a  pioneering  digital  financial  transactions  technology  company,  enabling  financial  and 
telecommunications service providers to create smoother transactions for their customers through deep technical 
expertise and rapid implementation. 

Together with Mastercard, Wameja Limited is a joint venture partner of the HomeSend global payment hub, enabling 
cross-border transfer between bank accounts, cards, mobile wallets, or cash outlets from anywhere in the world. 

Review of Operations 

This report is to be read in conjunction with other reports issued contemporaneously. 

Wameja Limited is a public company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: WJA) and the London Stock 
Exchange (AIM) (LSE: WJA). 

The Company is partnering with Mastercard to build the HomeSend global payments hub. HomeSend enables cross- 
border  transfer  between  bank  accounts,  cards,  mobile  wallets,  or  cash  outlets  from  anywhere  in  the  world.  As  a 
founding partner in the HomeSend hub, Wameja helped conceive and bring the opportunity to market. HomeSend is 
a joint venture of Wameja (35.68%) and Mastercard (64.32%). 

The Group entered into a conditional share purchase agreement on 4 June 2019 to sell the core operating business 
to Seamless Distribution Systems. This agreement was conditional upon shareholder approval which was obtained 
on  22  July  2019.  Effective  25  July  2019,  the  sale  was  completed,  and  the  Group  disposed  its  core  business 
eServGlobal SAS and its controlled entities. As such, as at 31 December 2019, part of the Group was considered as 
a discontinued operation. The remaining part of the Group (namely the HomeSend Joint Venture and all UK and 
Australian operations) remains intact and is presented as continuing operations. 

The net result of the consolidated entity for the year ended 31 December 2019 was a loss after tax and minority 
interest for the period of $13.2 million (2018: loss after tax and non-controlling interest of $19.7 million). Loss per 
share was 

1.09 cents (2018: loss per share 2.1 cents). 

The operating cash flow for the period was a net outflow of $4.8 million (2018: net outflow $9.9 million). Cash balance 
as at 31 December 2019 was $11.6 million. 

Changes in state of affairs 

Effective 25 July 2019, the Group disposed its core business eServGlobal SAS and its controlled entities.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT 

Subsequent events 

(a)  Extension of HomeSend Liquidity Facility 

HomeSend  has  requested  that  the  current  loan  facility  agreement  (“the  Facility”)  provided  by  the  Company  to 
HomeSend be extended from 31 March 2020 to 15 August 2020. The Company has indicated that it will agree to the 
extension  on  the  proviso  that  no  further  draw-downs  will  be  made  on  the  Facility  and  HomeSend  uses  best 
endeavours to procure alternative funding of the Facility. At the date of this report, final agreement has not been 
reached between the parties but negotiations are continuing. Accordingly, the Company does not expect the Facility 
to be repaid on 31 March 2020. 

(b)  COVID-19 

The  outbreak  of  COVID-19  and  the  subsequent  quarantine  measures  imposed  by  the  Australian  and  other 
governments as well as the travel and trade restrictions imposed by Australia and other countries in early 2020 have 
caused disruption to businesses and global economic activity. The Group considers this to be a non-adjusting post 
balance date event and accordingly the financial effects of COVID-19 have not been reflected in the Group’s financial 
statements at 31 December 2019. 

As the situation remains fluid (due to evolving changes in government policy and evolving business and customer 
reactions thereto) as at the date these financial statements are authorised for issue, the directors of the Company 
considered  that  the  financial  effects  of  COVID-19  on  the  Group's  consolidated  financial  statements  cannot  be 
reasonably estimated for future financial periods. This includes the Group’s investment in the HomeSend associate. 

Based  on  the  information  available  to  the  directors  as  at  the  date  of  this  report,  there  are  no  significant  factors 
identified which would impact on the carrying value of the Group’s investment in associate due to COVID-19. 

However,  the  Director’s  consider  that  prolonged  general  economic  impacts  arising  from  COVID-19  may  have  a 
negative impact on the operations of the Group's associate. This in turn may impact the recoverability of the Group's 
carrying value of the investment in associate going forward. 

No  other  matter  or  circumstance  has  occurred  subsequent  to  year  end  that  has  significantly  affected,  or  may 
significantly affect, the operations of the Company, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the entity 
in subsequent financial years. 

Future developments 

To the extent that the disclosure of information regarding likely developments in the operations of the Group in future 
financial  years,  and  the  expected  results  of  those  operations  is  likely  to  result  in  unreasonable  prejudice  to  the 
consolidated entity, such information has not been disclosed in this report. 

Environmental regulations 

The  consolidated  entity  operates  primarily  within  the  technology  and  telecommunication  sector  and  conducts  its 
business  activities  with  respect  for  the  environment  while  continuing  to  meet  the  expectations  of  shareholders, 
customers, employees and suppliers. 

During the year under review, the Directors are not aware of any particular or significant environmental issues which 
have been raised in relation to the consolidated entity's operations. 

Dividends 

No dividends were declared or paid during the financial year (2018: nil).

to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. 

The Company has not otherwise, during or since the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Non-audit services 

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  Audit  Committee  assesses  the  provision  of  non-audit  services  by  the  auditors  to  ensure  that  the  auditor 
independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 in relation to the audit are met. 

Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the 
auditor are outlined in Note 7 to the financial statements. 

The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in Note 7 to the financial statements do not compromise 
the external auditor's independence, based on advice received from the Audit Committee, 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 & 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. 

Auditor’s independence declaration 

The auditor’s independence declaration is included on page 13 of the financial report. 

Rounding off of amounts 

The Company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial / Directors’ Reports) 
Instrument  2016/191  dated  24  March  2016,  and  in  accordance  with  this  Corporations  Instrument  amounts  in  the 
directors’  report  and  the  financial  statements  are  rounded  off  to  the  nearest  thousand  dollars,  unless  otherwise 
indicated.

Remuneration Report (Audited) 

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Determining remuneration policy for directors and key management personnel, and its relationship to 
Wameja’s performance 

The Company is listed on both the Australian Securities Exchange and the London Stock Exchange (AIM). It is an 
international group which is faced with all of the market pressures that flow in such circumstances. It must compete 
successfully with other international organisations that are substantially larger and which have the ability to draw on 
enormous resources. Our employees are based in diverse parts of the globe and regularly must travel to work in 
remote locations. The remuneration policies must be appropriate to these circumstances. 

In determining the appropriate remuneration policies for the Group, the Board believes that the salary packages must 
be sufficient, in the international marketplace in which the Group operates, to attract, retain and motivate high calibre, 
hard-working, dedicated employees, who have the knowledge and skills appropriate for the business. In this regard, 
a component of the salary package for employees may be paid after the results of a financial year are completed, 
and the entitlement is based primarily on the results achieved by the Group. The Board’s broad policy is implemented 
through its Remuneration and Nominations Committee. 

The Board has significantly reduced its cost base since July 2019 and had no executive management by 29 January 
2020 (with all directors being non-executive from that date). 

Director and other key management personnel  details 

The following persons acted as key management personnel of the Company and the Group during or since the end 
of the financial year: 

Jamie Brooke (Non-executive director) 

John Conoley (Executive Chairman until 29 January 2020; now non-executive Chairman) 

• 
•  Stephen Baldwin (Non-executive director) 
• 
•  Tom Rowe (Company Secretary and non-executive  director) 
•  Andrew Hayward (Chief Finance Officer until 30 June 2019 and Executive director until 25 July 2019)  – 
• 

James Hume (Chief Operational Officer until 29 January 2020; now non-executive director) – appointed 
as a director on 23 October 2019 

Except as noted, the named persons held their current positions for the whole of the financial year and since the end 
of the financial year. 

Elements of key management personnel remuneration 

Non-executive  directors  are  paid  directors’  fees.  The  Board  reviews  the  level  of  fees  from  time  to  time  and  sets 
individual non-executive directors fees based on the levels of fees for comparable listed companies in the appropriate 
parts of the world. 

The non-executive directors are appointed by either the Board or shareholder vote and any appointment is subject 
to re-election on retirement required at Annual General Meetings. 

Executive directors and other key management personnel remuneration comprise both Short Term Incentive (STI) 
and Long-Term Incentive (LTI) components. The STI takes the form of a cash bonus and the LTI comprises the issue 
of share options under the Wameja Limited Employee Share Option Plan. 

a)  No STI payments were made in 2019 or up to the date of this report. 

b)  The LTI (share option) component contains an element of reward to incentivise loyalty  and continuity  of  
service to the Company through the vesting of options over  a defined period  with eligibility  being dependent  
on continued employment and performance of the Group.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Elements of remuneration which are dependent on Company performance 

The  performance  options  granted  to  the  key  management  personnel  are  subject  to  the  achievement  of  certain 
performance  hurdles  linked  to  the  company’s  volume  weighted  average  share  price.  These  performance  options 
have been granted to the Non-Executive Chairman and certain other management personnel and is in accordance 
with the Group’s remuneration policy

Key management personnel are remunerated on a salary package basis that includes an appropriate portion that is a variable component which is dependent on Group’s performance. Variable pay components are 
confirmed based on achievement of sales performance plan or corporate performance plan (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation targets) established during the financial year. For A Hayward and J Hume, the 
variable component-based performance was 22% and 23% of the total benefit respectively. For J Conoley, the variable component is based on 100% of his fixed remuneration less the value of his LTI benefit for FY2018.    The 
corporate performance plan was not met and accordingly no bonus was payable in respect of this variable pay component. The payment of sales commission to S Ben Lassoued is based on achievement of sales performance plan 
target. 
Paid in GBP and subject to foreign exchange fluctuations at Group  level. 
The amount paid is for services provided by Tom Rowe in his capacity as company secretary and Non-executive Director and for legal services. All services are invoiced on a time spent basis and on normal commercial terms. 
Paid in AED and subject to foreign exchange fluctuations at Group level, resignation received on 21 Nov 2018.

Options issued to directors and key management personnel 

Key  management  personnel  receiving  options  are  entitled  to  the  beneficial  interest  under  the  option  only  if  they 
continue to be employed with the Group at the time the option vests. Any exposure in relation to the risk associated 
with the movement in the underlying share price rests with the key management personnel. 

During the financial year no options were forfeited as a result of a condition required for vesting (other than continuing 
employment with the Company) not being satisfied. 

No options granted to key management personnel expired or lapsed during the year (2018: 1,050,000). A total of 
8,500,000 options vested during the year (2018: 6,650,000).

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of 
Wameja Limited (formerly eServGlobal Limited) 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion  

We  have  audited  the  financial  report  of  Wameja  Limited  (the  “Entity”),  and  its  subsidiaries  (the 
“Group”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019, 
the  consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income,  the  consolidated 
statement of changes in equity and 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 Group, is in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001, including:  

(i)

giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2019 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  our  report.  We  are  independent  of  the  Group  in  accordance  with  the  auditor 
independence  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 Entity, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at 
the time of this auditor’s report. 

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

Key Audit Matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance 
in  our  audit  of  the  financial  report  for  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.  We have determined the matters described 
below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.  

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation. 

Member of Deloitte Asia Pacific Limited and the Deloitte Network.  

 Key Audit Matter 

How the Key Audit Matter was addressed in the audit 

Carrying value of equity accounted investment 
in HomeSend SCRL 

Our audit procedures included, but were not limited 
to: 

As at 31 December 2019, the carrying value of the 
Group’s equity accounted investment HomeSend 
SCRL (“the associate”) totalled $25.463 million as 
disclosed in Note 21.  

For the year ended 31 December 2019, the Group 
has recognised an equity accounted share of the 
associate’s loss of $6.596 million. 

Significant judgment is required in determining 
whether facts and circumstances indicate that the 
equity accounted investment should be tested for 
impairment in accordance with the relevant 
accounting standards. 

•

assessing whether there were indicators of
impairment by:
o making enquiries of the directors as to the

current performance of the associate and the
projected revenue growth and profitability;

o reviewing the actual performance of the
associate compared to the budget;
o reviewing the financial position of the

associate as at balance date;

o reviewing the business plan of the associate

for the financial years 2020 to 2024;

o reviewing the value in use model presented

by the directors and assessing the
reasonableness of key inputs including
forecast performance and discount rate; and

o determining the implied fair value of the

equity accounted investment based on the
latest capital raising by the associate.

•

assessing the appropriateness of disclosures
made in Note 1(n), (o) and Note 21 to the
financial statements.

Other Information 

The  directors  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises  the 
information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2019, but does 
not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we will 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 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 Group’s ability 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. 

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional 
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.  

We also:  

•

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due
to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain
audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk
of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting
intentional  omissions,
involve  collusion, 
fraud  may 
from  error,  as 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

forgery, 

• Obtain  an  understanding  of  internal  control  relevant  to  the  audit  in  order  to  design  audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

•

•

•

Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

Conclude  on  the  appropriateness  of  the  directors’  use  of  the  going  concern  basis  of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related  to  events  or  conditions  that  may  cast  significant  doubt  on  the  Group’s  ability  to
continue  as  a  going  concern.  If  we  conclude  that  a  material  uncertainty  exists,  we  are
required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial
report  or,  if  such  disclosures  are  inadequate,  to  modify  our  opinion.  Our  conclusions  are
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future
events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the
disclosures,  and  whether  the  financial  report  represents  the  underlying  transactions  and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

• Obtain  sufficient  appropriate  audit  evidence  regarding  the  financial  information  of  the
entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report.
We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group’s audit. We
remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing 
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control 
that we identify during our audit.  

We  also  provide  the  directors  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical 
requirements  regarding independence,  and  to  communicate  with them  all  relationships  and  other 
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related 
safeguards.  

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit 
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public 
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter 
should  not  be  communicated  in  our  report  because  the  adverse  consequences  of  doing  so  would 
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

Statement of compliance 

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the 
Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and comply with other requirements of 
the law. 

The financial statements include the consolidated financial statements of the Group, comprising Wameja Limited (the 
Company/ Parent) and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year. For the purposes  of  preparing  the 
consolidated  financial  statements  the  Company  is  a  for-profit  entity.  A  description  of  the  nature  of  the  Group’s 
operations and its principal activities are included in the directors’ report, which is not part of the financial statements. 

Compliance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  ensures  that  the  financial  statements  and  notes  of  the  Group 
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) as issued by the International Accounting Standards 
Board (“IASB”). 

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 31st March 2020. 

Basis of preparation 

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, unless otherwise stated below. Historical 
cost  is  based  on  the  fair  values  of  the  consideration  given  in  exchange  for  goods  and  services.  All  amounts  are 
presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. 

The Company is a Company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial / Directors’ Reports) 
Instrument  2016/191  dated  24  March  2016,  and  in  accordance  with  this  Corporations  Instrument  amounts in the 
directors’  report  and  the  financial  statements  are  rounded  off  to  the  nearest  thousand  dollars,  unless  otherwise 
indicated. 

The following significant accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation and presentation of the financial 
statements: 

(a) 

Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  include  cash  on  hand  and  in  banks,  deposits  held  at  call  with  banks  and  financial 
institutions and investments in money market instruments with original maturities of three months or less from the 
date of acquisition. 

(b) 

Employee benefits 

Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service 
leave  and  retirement  benefits  when  it  is  probable  that  settlement  will  be  required,  and  they  are  capable  of  being 
measured reliably. 

Provisions made in respect of employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months, are measured at their 
nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. Provisions made in respect of 
employee benefits which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are measured as the present value of the 
estimated future cash outflows  to be made by the Group in respect of services provided  by  employees  up  to  the 
reporting date. 

For defined benefit retirement plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined by way of actuarial valuations being 
carried  out  at  the  end  of  each  annual  reporting  period.  Remeasurement  is  reflected  in  the  statement  of  financial 
position with the charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(c) 

Financial assets 

All recognised financial assets that are within the scope of AASB 9 are required to be measured subsequently at 
amortised cost or fair value on the basis of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the 
contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. 

Financial  assets  classified  as  held-to-maturity  and  loans  and  receivables  under  AASB  9  that  were  measured  at 
amortised cost continue to be measured at amortised cost under AASB 9 as they are held within a business model 
to collect contractual cash flows and these cash flows consist solely of payments of principal and interest on the 
principal amount outstanding. 

Trade and other receivables 

Trade  and  other  receivables  are  recognised  initially  at  fair  value  including  transaction  costs  and  subsequently 
measured at amortised cost, less any Expected Credit Losses (“ECL”). Trade receivables are due for settlement no 
more than 30 days from the date of recognition. 

The credit loss allowance in accordance with the simplified approach adopted by the Group is recognised. 

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables and contract assets have been grouped based on shared 
credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The contract assets relate to unbilled work in progress and have 
substantially the same characteristics as the trade receivables for the same types of contracts. A provision matrix is 
determined  based  on  historic  credit  loss  rate  for  each  group  of  customers,  adjusted  for  any  material  expected 
changes to the customers’ future credit risk. 

Trade receivables and contract assets are written-off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators 
that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a 
repayment  plan  with  the  Group.  The  total  credit  loss  allowance  on  trade  receivables  and  contract  assets  include 
certain specific customers which the Group assessed as non-recoverable in the prior periods. 

(d) 

Financial instruments issued by the Group 

Debt and equity instruments 
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the 
contractual arrangement. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an 
entity  after  deducting  all  of  its  liabilities.  Equity  instruments  issued  by  the  Group  are  recorded  at  the  proceeds 
received, net of direct issue costs. 

Transaction costs on the issue of equity instruments 
Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the 
proceeds of the equity instruments to which the costs relate. Transaction costs are the costs that are incurred directly 
in  connection  with  the  issue  of  those  equity  instruments  and  which  would  not  have  been  incurred  had  those 
instruments not been issued. 

Other financial liabilities 
Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are 
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, recognising interest expense on an 
effective yield basis. 

Derecognition of financial liabilities 
A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled, or expires. When 
an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms 
of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of 
the  original  liability  and  the  recognition  of  a  new  liability.  The  difference  in  the  respective  carrying  amounts  is 
recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 

Trade payables 
Trade payables are initially measured at fair value including transaction costs and are subsequently measured at 
amortised cost.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(e) 
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (“GST”), except: 

Goods and services tax 

(i)  where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part 

of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or 

(ii)  for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST. 

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or 
payables. 

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising 
from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as 
operating cash flows. 

Foreign currencies 

(f) 
The  individual  financial  statements  of  each  group  entity  are  presented  in  the  currency  of  the  primary  economic 
environment  in  which  the  entity  operates  (its  functional  currency).  For  the  purpose  of  the  consolidated  financial 
statements, the results and financial position of each group entity are expressed in Australian dollars, which is the 
functional currency of the Company and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements. 

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity's 
functional  currency  (foreign  currencies)  are  recognised  at  the  rates  of  exchange  prevailing  on  the  dates  of  the 
transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items that are denominated in foreign currencies are 
retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in 
foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary 
items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. 

Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for 
exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is 
neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign 
operation), which are recognised initially in other comprehensive income/(loss) and reclassified from equity to profit 
or loss on repayment of the monetary items. 

For the purpose of presenting these consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group's foreign 
operations are translated into Australian dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. 
Income  and  expense  items  are  translated  at  the  average  exchange  rates  for  the  period,  unless  exchange  rates 
fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. 
Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income/(loss) and accumulated in equity 
(and attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate). 

Goodwill and fair value adjustments to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed through acquisition of a 
foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the rate of exchange 
prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Exchange differences arising are recognised in other comprehensive 
income/(loss).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

Impairment of assets 

(g) 
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine 
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the 
recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where 
the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable 
amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the cash-generating units expected to benefit from the 
synergies of the business combination. 

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in  use. In assessing value in use,  the 
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects  current 
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future 
cash flows have not been adjusted. 

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the 
carrying  amount  of  the  asset  (cash-generating  unit)  is  reduced  to  its  recoverable  amount.  An  impairment  loss  is 
recognised in profit or loss immediately. 

With the exception of goodwill, where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset 
(cash-generating unit) 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 (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss 
is recognised in profit or loss immediately. 

Income tax 

(h) 
Current tax 
Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable 
profit or tax loss for the year. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively 
enacted by the reporting date. Current tax for current and prior year is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent 
that it is unpaid (or refundable). 

Deferred tax 
Deferred  tax  is  accounted  for  in  respect  of  temporary  differences  arising  from  differences  between  the  carrying 
amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items. 

In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are only 
recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available against which deductible 
temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. 

However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them  arise 
from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects 
neither  taxable  income  nor  accounting  profit.  Furthermore,  a  deferred  tax  liability  is  not  recognised  in  relation  to 
taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year(s) when the 
asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted 
or substantively enacted by the reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax 
consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or 
settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority 
and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent 
that  it  is  no  longer  probable  that  sufficient  taxable  profits  will  be  available  to  allow  all  or  part  of  the  asset  to  be 
recovered.

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(h) 

Income tax (continued) 

Current and deferred tax for the year 
Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when it relates to items 
credited or debited to other comprehensive income (loss) or directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also 
recognised in other comprehensive income (loss) or directly in equity. Where it arises from the initial accounting for a 
business combination it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill. 

(i) 
All intangible assets acquired in a business combination are identified and recognised separately from goodwill where 
they satisfy the definition of an intangible asset and their fair value can be measured reliably. 

Intangible assets 

Internally-generated intangible assets – research and development expenditure 
Expenditure  on  research  activities  is  recognised  as  an  expense  in  the  period  in  which  it  is  incurred.  Where  no 
internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised as an expense in 
the period as incurred. 

An intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, 
and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated: 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; 
the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; 
the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; 
how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits; 
the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use 
or sell the intangible asset; and 
the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. 

• 

The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from 
the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. 

The  expenditure  capitalised  includes  cost  of  materials,  direct  labour  and  a  proportion  of  directly  attributable 
overheads. Other development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss as an expense as and when incurred. 

Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  internally-generated  intangible  assets  are  reported  at  cost  less  accumulated 
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately. 

Basis of consolidation 

(j) 
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by 
the Company (its subsidiaries) (referred to as ‘the Group’ in these financial statements). Control is achieved when the 
Company: 

• 
• 
• 

has the power over the investee; 
is exposed, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and 
has the ability to use its power to affect the returns. 

The  Group  reassesses  whether  or  not  it  controls  an  investee  if  facts  and  circumstances  indicate  that  there  are 
changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above. 

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in consolidated profit or loss from the 
effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(j) 

Basis of consolidation (continued) 

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies 
into line with those used by other members of the Group. 

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. 

Non-controlling interest in the net assets (excluding goodwill) of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately 
from the Group’s equity therein. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the 
original  business  combination  and  the  non-controlling  interest’s  share  of  changes  in  equity  since the date of the 
combination. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even  if  this  results  in  the  non-
controlling interests having a deficit balance. 

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the gain or loss on disposal recognised in profit or loss is calculated 
as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any 
retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), less liabilities of the subsidiary 
and any non-controlling interests. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to 
that  subsidiary  are  accounted  for  as  if  the  Group  had  directly  disposed  of  the  related  assets  or  liabilities  of  the 
subsidiary  (i.e.  reclassified  to  profit  or  loss  or  transferred  to  another  category  of  equity  as  required/permitted  by 
applicable AASB Standards).

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(k) 
Provisions  are  recognised  when  the  Group  has  a  present  obligation,  the  future  sacrifice  of  economic  benefits  is 
probable, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably. 

Provisions 

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation 
at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where  a  provision  is 
measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of 
those cash flows. 

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third 
party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that recovery will be received and the amount 
of the receivable can be measured reliably. 

(l) 
The Group applies the following 5-step model for revenue recognition related to contracts with customers: 

Revenue recognition Sale of goods and services 

a. 
b. 
c. 
d. 
e. 

Identify the contract(s) with customer 
Identify the performance obligation in the contract 
Determine the transaction price 
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract 
Recognise revenue when or as the entity satisfied its performance obligations. 

The  Group  recognises  sales  revenue  related  to  the  transfer  of  promised  goods  or  services  when  a  performance 
obligation is satisfied and when control of the goods or services passes to the customer, which is when the customer 
receives the product upon delivery. The amount of revenue recognised reflects the consideration to which the Group 
is or expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. If the consideration promised includes a variable 
amount, the Group estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled and only to the extent that it is 
highly probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. 

Revenue is recognised over time if: 

- 
- 
- 
- 

the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the entity performs; 
the customer controls the asset as the entity creates or enhances it; or 
the seller’s performance does not create an asset for which the seller has an alternative use and – 
there is a right to payment for performance to date. 

Where  the  above  criteria  is  not  met,  revenue  is  recognised  at  a  point  in  time.  The  Group  recognises  revenue 

predominantly from the following services: 

Rendering of Software Solution Services 
The Group is generally responsible for the overall management of the contract and to provide services to integrate 
the License into the customer’s network. These processes and activities tend to be highly inter- related and the Group 
provides a significant service of integration for these assets under the contract and as such is treated as a single 
performance  obligation.  The  performance  obligation  is  fulfilled  over  time  because  the  customer  simultaneously 
receives and consumes the benefits and as such revenue is recognised over time.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

Revenue from Support and Maintenance Services 
Revenue from support and maintenance contracts is recognised over time. This is due to the fact that the customer 
simultaneously  receives  and  consumes  the  benefits  provided  by  the  Group’s  performance  of  the  support  and 
maintenance services. The services are made available to the customer throughout the term of the contract. 

Customers are typically invoiced on a monthly basis for an amount that is calculated on a schedule of rates that is 
aligned with the stand-alone selling prices for each performance obligation. Payment is received following invoice on 
normal commercial terms. 

Revenue from Hardware 
Revenue from hardware is recognised when the control of the underlying goods is transferred to the customer at a 
point in time. 

Share-based payments 

(m) 
Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant. Fair value is measured by use 
of  either  a  Black-Scholes  or  binomial  model.  The  expected  life  used  in  the  model  has  been  adjusted,  based  on 
management’s  best  estimate,  for  the  effects  of  non-transferability,  exercise  restrictions,  and  behavioural 
considerations. 

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-
line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest. 

Investments in associates 

(n) 
An associate is an entity over which the group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest 
in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the 
investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. 

The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity 
method of accounting, except when the investment is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in 
accordance with AASB 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Under the equity method, 
investments in associates are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted for post-
acquisition  changes  in  the  Group’s  share  of  the  net  assets  of  the  associate,  less  any  impairment  in  the  value  of 
individual investments. 

Losses of an associate in excess of the group’s interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests 
that, in substance, form part of the group’s net investment in the associate) are recognised only to the extent that the 
group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. 

An investment in an associate is accounted for using the equity method from the date on which the investee becomes 
an associate. On acquisition of the investment in an associate, any excess of the cost of the investment over the 
Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee is recognised as goodwill, 
which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group's share of the net fair value 
of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the investment, after reassessment, is recognised immediately 
in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired. 

The requirements of AASB 9 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are applied to determine whether 
it  is  necessary  to  recognise  any  impairment  loss  with  respect  to  the  Group’s  investment  in  an  associate.  When 
necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance 
with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use 
and fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying amount, any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying 
amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in accordance with AASB 136 to the 
extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(o) 

Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty 

The  directors  evaluate  estimates  and  judgments  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 Group. 

The following is the key assumption concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the 
reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and 
liabilities within the next financial year: 

Carrying value of equity accounted investment in HomeSend SCRL 

The Group assesses impairment of investment in associate whenever the events or changes in circumstances indicate 
that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable.  Recoverable amount is measured at the higher of 
the fair value less cost of disposal or value in use. 

Significant judgment is required in determining whether facts and circumstances indicate that the equity accounted 
investment in associate should be tested for impairment in accordance with the relevant accounting standards. 

In assessing the carrying value, the directors have considered the performance of HomeSend SCRL compared to the 
budget  for  the  current  financial  year,  the  current  financial  position,  and  the  forecast  future  performance  of  the 
associate. 

Based  on  the  directors’  assessment  there  were  no  indication  of  impairment  in  the  carrying  value  of  the  Group’s 
investment in associate as at 31 December 2019. 

The directors have also considered the impact of COVID-19 on the associate. Refer Note 27 ‘Subsequent Events’. 

(p) 

New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted: 

Initial application of AASB 16 
The Group has adopted AASB 16: Leases retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying AASB 16 
recognised at 1 January 2019. In accordance with AASB 16, the comparatives for the 2018 reporting period have not 
been restated. 

Applying AASB 16, for all leases (except as noted below), the Group: 

•  Recognises right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the statement of financial position, initially 

measured at the present value of the future lease payments 

•  Recognises depreciation of right-of-use assets and interest on lease liabilities in profit or loss 
•  Separates the total amount of cash paid into a principal portion (presented within financing activities) and 

interest (presented within financing activities) in the statement of cash flows. 

The adoption of AASB 16 did not result in recognition of any material right-of-use asset or lease liability for the Group. 

The adoption of AASB 16 did not result in recognition of any material right-of-use asset or lease liability for the Group.

Going Concern 

The  consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income  for  the  financial  year  ended  31 
December 2019 reflects a loss after tax of $13.19 million (2018: $19.75 million), and the consolidated statement of 
cash flows reflects net cash outflows from operations of $4.823 million (2018: $9.938 million). The cash and cash 
equivalents balance of $11.636 million (2018: $27.451). 

The Directors have prepared the cash flow forecast for the period through to 31 March 2021. The cash flow forecast 
indicates that the Group will have sufficient funding to operate as a going concern during the forecast period, and on 
this basis the Directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis.

Tax consolidation 

Relevance of tax consolidation to the consolidated entity 

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities have formed a tax-consolidated group and are 
therefore taxed as a single entity. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is Wameja Limited. The 
other member of the tax-consolidated group is Wameja Investments Pty Limited. 

Nature of tax funding arrangements and tax sharing agreements 

Entities  within  the  tax-consolidated  group  have  entered  into  a  tax  funding  arrangement  and  a  tax-sharing 
agreement with the head entity. Under the terms of the tax funding arrangement, Wameja Limited and each 
of the entities in the tax-consolidated group has agreed to pay a tax equivalent payment to or from the head 
entity,  based  on  the  current  tax  liability  or  current  tax  asset  of  the  entity.  Such  amounts  are  reflected  in 
amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax-consolidated group. 

The tax sharing agreement entered into between members of the tax-consolidated group provides for the 
determination of the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on 
its tax payment obligations. No amounts have been recognized in the financial statements in respect of this 
agreement as payment of any amounts under the tax sharing agreement is considered remote.

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS 

Discontinued operations 

The Group signed a share purchase agreement on 4 June 2019 to sell its core operating business, eServGlobal 
Holdings SAS and its controlled entities, to Seamless Distribution Systems. This agreement was conditional upon 
shareholder approval to be sought at an EGM. On 25 July 2019, the Group completed the sale of the core business 
following the EGM held on 22 July 2019. Total cash consideration of $1.485 million (net of cash  disposed) was 
received by the Company on the completion date. There was no material gain/(loss) on disposal of the core business. 

Financial Information relating to the discontinued operation to date of sale is set out below. 

The financial performance of the discontinued operation to the date of sale, which is included in profit/(loss) from 
discontinued operations per the statement of comprehensive income, is as follows:

6. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS 

Executive and Employee Equity-Settled Share Based Payments 

The  Group  has  an  ownership-based  remuneration  scheme  for  executive  directors,  key  management 
personnel  and  employees  of  the  Group.  In  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the  scheme,  directors  and 
employees may be granted options to acquire ordinary shares in the Company. The vesting of any share 
options  is  dependent  on a period of service relative to the vesting dates, and in the case of performance 
options, it is also dependent on performance criteria. 

Under the Wameja Limited Employee Share Option Plan which was established 4 August 2000 to assist in 
the attraction, retention and motivation of employees and Directors of the Company and its related corporate 
bodies, as at 31 December 2019, certain key management personnel and employees (past and present) are 
entitled to purchase an aggregate of 37,575,000 (2018: 32,575,000) ordinary shares of the entity at an average 
exercise price of $0.19 (2018: $0.219) per ordinary share. During the current year, total of 9,350,000 options 
had vested. The options may be exercised at various times up until 31 October 2022. The holders of such

past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted 
for factors that are specific to the debtors and the general economic conditions of the industry in which 
the debtors operate. 

There has been no change in the estimation techniques or significant assumptions made during the

(i) 

During the year, the Company entered into a loan facility agreement with HomeSend SCRL for 
the sole permitted purpose of funding the pre- payment timing gaps in HomeSend’s settlement 
model  (the  “Facility”).  Mastercard  has  entered  into  a  similar  loan  facility  agreement  with 
HomeSend SCRL. The Facility is for a total of $31.16 million (€20 million) between the Company 
and  Mastercard  with  the  Company  providing  approximately  $11.57  million  (€7.1  million)  in 
proportion to its shareholding in HomeSend SCRL. 

The Facility is a revolving credit line providing HomeSend the ability to draw and re-draw the funds as required, with 
an obligation to return amounts drawn if not required, based on HomeSend’s forecasts. The Facility is unsecured, 
and  interest  is  payable  quarterly  at  1.916%  per  annum  on  the  amount  drawn.  There  is  no  establishment  or 
commitment fee. The facility expires on 15 August 2020. 

As at balance date, the company has provided its proportionate share in total drawdowns with Mastercard amounting 
to $4.2 million.

(i) The retirement benefit provision is a provision for statutory termination obligations due to eligible 
employees in France who remain employed with the French entity until their statutory retirement date. 
The amount of the statutory lump sum retirement payment is dependent on the employee’s length of 
service with the Company and their salary on retirement. No entitlement accrues to employees who 
terminate  their  employment  prior  to  retirement  date.  The  Group’s  obligations  are  unfunded  and 
covered by the recorded provision. The cost of providing the benefit is determined by way of actuarial 
valuation carried out at the end of each annual reporting period (Refer to Note 1(b)).

Fully paid ordinary shares carry one vote per share and carry the right to dividends. 

Changes to the then Corporations Law abolished the authorised capital and par value concept in relation 
to share capital from 1 July 1998. Therefore, the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised 
capital and issued shares do not have a par value. 

Share Options 
In accordance with the terms of the executive and employee share option plan as at 31 December 2019, 
employees are entitled to exercise options granted and thus acquire shares in the Company. Details of 
the executive and employee share option plan are contained in Note 6 to the financial statements.

On 11 May 2017, the Group agreed to guarantee a €5 million ($8 million) credit facility to be provided by KBC Bank 
SA to HomeSend SCRL (the Guarantee). The loan facility has been obtained by the associate to support the growth 
of its business by supplementing the working capital reserves, as and when required, to facilitate transfer settlements. 

The  Guarantee  is  provided  by  all  the  shareholders  of  the  associate.  Based  on  the  pro-rata  proportion  to  its 
shareholding in HomeSend SCRL, the Group’s share of the Guarantee is €1.8 million ($2.8 million). The Guarantee 
is unsecured and may be withdrawn, in respect to future credit, on three months’ notice. 

HomeSend SCRL has agreed to reimburse the guarantors for any payment made under the Guarantee. If HomeSend 
SCRL issues share capital either to reimburse a Guarantor or to satisfy monies owing under the credit facility following 
a Guarantor failing to meet a demand made against them under the Guarantee, it has been agreed that the capital 
in HomeSend SCRL will be issued at fair market value and a defaulting Guarantor will not participate in the capital 
raising.

25. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

a) Significant Accounting Policies 
Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, 
the basis of measurement and the basis on which revenues and expenses are recognised, in respect of 
each  class  of  financial  asset,  financial  liability  and  equity  instrument  are  disclosed  in  Note  1  to  the 
financial statements. 

b) Capital Risk Management 
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going 
concern  while  maximising  the  return  to  stakeholders  through  the  optimisation  of  the  debt  and  equity 
balance. 

The capital structure of the Group includes cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity 
holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings. Operating cash flows 
is used to maintain and expand the Group’s assets as well as to pay for operating expenses, tax liabilities 
and software development activities (until the date of disposal of the Group’s subsidiary, eServGlobal 
SAS). 

c) Financial Risk Management Objectives 
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency and interest 
rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the 
unpredictability of financial and exchange rate markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects 
on  the  Group’s  performance.  A  risk  management  framework,  including  the  policy  on  use  of  financial 
derivatives  is  governed  by  the  Board  of  Directors.  The  Group  does  not  enter  into  or  trade  financial 
instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. 

d) Market Risk 
The Group’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange 
rates and changes in market interest rates. There has been no change to the Group’s exposure to 
market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risks from the previous period. 

e) Foreign Currency Risk Management 
The  Group  undertakes  certain  transactions  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  that  are  different  to  the 
functional currency of the respective entities undertaking the transactions, hence exposures to exchange 
rate fluctuations arise which are recorded in profit or loss. The group may use foreign currency exchange 
contracts to hedge these risks. No such contracts were entered into during the current year (2018: nil). 

The  material  carrying  amount  of  the  Group’s  foreign  currency  denominated  monetary  assets  and 
monetary  liabilities  at  the  reporting  date  that  are  denominated  in  a  currency  that  is  different  to  the 
functional currency of the respective entities holding the monetary assets and liabilities are as follows:

25. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued.)  

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis 

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the functional currency against 
the  relevant  foreign  currencies,  which  represents  management’s  assessment  of  the  possible  change  in  foreign 
exchange  rates.  The  sensitivity  analysis  includes  only  outstanding  foreign  currency  denominated  monetary  items 
(arising from monetary assets and liabilities held at balance date in a currency different to the functional currency of 
the respective entities holding the assets or liabilities) and adjusts their translation at year end for a 10% change in 
foreign currency rates.

The sensitivity includes external receivables and payables as well as inter-company balances with foreign operations 
within the Group where the denomination of the receivable or payable is in a currency other than the functional currency 
of the respective entity and the balance is expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future. 

For  assets,  a  positive  number  indicates  an  increase  in  profit  with  the  functional  currency  weakening  against  the 
respective currency. For a strengthening of the functional currency against the respective currency there would be an 
equal and opposite impact on the profit, and the amounts above would be negative. For liabilities, the opposite would 
apply. 

In management’s opinion, the above sensitivity analysis reflects the foreign currency risk changes as at reporting date. 

In addition, the Group includes certain subsidiaries whose functional currencies are different to the Group’s presentation 
currency. As stated in the Group’s Accounting Policies Note 1(f), on consolidation the assets and liabilities of these entities 
are translated into Australian dollars at exchange rates prevailing on the balance date. The income and expenses of 
these entities are translated at the average exchange rates for the year. Exchange differences arising are classified as 
equity and are transferred to a foreign exchange translation reserve. The main operating entity outside of Australia is 
based  in France. The Group’s future reported  profits  could  therefore  be  impacted  by  changes  in  rates  of  exchange 
between the Australian Dollar and the Euro. 

f) Interest Rate Risk Management 
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk at 31 December 2019 is in respect of interest generated on deposits balances 
invested during the course of the year and interest incurred on variable rate external borrowings. Cash deposits yielded 
a weighted average interest rate of 0.001% for the financial year (2018: 0.001%). 

Interest rate sensitivity analysis 
The Group’s sensitivity to interest rates is on surplus cash placed on short-term deposit or drawings on variable  rate 
borrowing facilities. The Group’s net sensitivity to interest rate movements is not considered to be material to the Group. 

g) Liquidity Risk Management 
Ultimate  responsibility  for  liquidity  risk  management  rests  with  the  board  of  directors,  who  have  built  an  appropriate 
liquidity risk management framework for the management  of the Group’s short, medium and long-  term  funding  and 
liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and by 
continuously  monitoring  forecast  and  actual  cash  flows  and  matching  the  maturity  profiles  of  financial  assets  and 
liabilities. 

Liquidity and interest risk tables 
The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. The tables 
have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which 
the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both principal and interest cash flows.

25. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued) 

h) Credit Risk Management 

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss 
to  the  Group.  The  Group  has  adopted  the  policy  of  dealing  with  creditworthy  counterparties,  as  a  means  of 
mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. Trade receivables have consisted of a relatively small number 
of  closely  managed  customers,  spread  across  diverse  geographical  areas.  Ongoing  credit  evaluation  is 
performed on the financial condition of accounts receivable as part of the overall client management process. The 
carrying amount  of the financial assets  recorded  in the financial statements, net  of any  allowance  for  losses, 
represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk. 

The Group assesses the expected credit loss on receivables using a provision matrix to measure the Group’s 
estimated impairment losses. 

(i) 

Fair value of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value 
on a recurring basis 

None of the Group's other financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value as at 31 December 
2019 (31 December 2018: nil). 

(ii) 

Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value 
on a recurring basis (but fair value disclosures are required) 

The directors consider that the carrying amounts of the financial assets and financial liabilities recognised in the 
consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values.

27. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

a)  Extension of HomeSend Liquidity Facility 

HomeSend  has  requested  that  the  current  loan  facility  agreement  (“the  Facility”)  provided  by  the  Company  to 
HomeSend be extended from 31 March 2020 to 15 August 2020. The Company has indicated that it will agree to the 
extension  on  the  proviso  that  no  further  draw-downs  will  be  made  on  the  Facility  and  HomeSend  uses  best 
endeavours to procure alternative funding of the Facility. At the date of this report, final agreement has not been 
reached between the parties but negotiations are continuing. Accordingly, the Company does not expect the Facility 
to be repaid on 31 March 2020. 

b)  COVID-19 

The  outbreak  of  COVID-19  and  the  subsequent  quarantine  measures  imposed  by  the  Australian  and  other 
governments as well as the travel and trade restrictions imposed by Australia and other countries in early 2020 have 
caused disruption to businesses and global economic activity. The Group considers this to be a non-adjusting post 
balance date event and accordingly the financial effects of COVID-19 have not been reflected in the Group’s financial 
statements at 31 December 2019. 

As the situation remains fluid (due to evolving changes in government policy and evolving business and customer 
reactions thereto) as at the date these financial statements are authorised for issue, the directors of the Company 
considered  that  the  financial  effects  of  COVID-19  on  the  Group's  consolidated  financial  statements  cannot  be 
reasonably estimated for future financial periods. This includes the Group’s investment in the HomeSend associate. 

Based  on  the  information  available  to  the  directors  as  at  the  date  of  this  report,  there  are  no  significant  factors 
identified which would impact on the carrying value of the Group’s investment in associate due to COVID-19. 

However,  the  Director’s  consider  that  prolonged  general  economic  impacts  arising  from  COVID-19  may  have  a 
negative impact on the operations of the Group's associate. This in turn may impact the recoverability of the Group's 
carrying value of the investment in associate going forward. 

No  other  matter  or  circumstance  has  occurred  subsequent  to  year  end  that  has  significantly  affected,  or  may 
significantly affect, the operations of the Company, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the entity 
in subsequent financial years.
