2021 Highlights

Cettire experienced a continuation of its rapid growth in FY21 as it increased its share of the global personal luxury goods market. Growth has been achieved through adding new customers and increasing revenue per customer. Cettire’s rapid scaling has been enabled by its proprietary technology, which enables a high degree of automation, and its deep and diverse supply relationships.

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholders, On behalf of the Board, I am delighted to present Cettire’s first Annual Report as a listed company for the financial year ended 30 June 2021.

It has been an incredible year for Cettire, with the obvious highlight being our successful IPO on the ASX in December 2020. The IPO has increased the profile of the business and provided the Group with the opportunity to begin to realise its growth potential.

2021 Highlights

The Group achieved sales revenue of $92.4m, exceeding the prospectus forecast by 32%, and reflecting a year‑on‑year increase of 304%. The Group also achieved significant increases in key operating metrics attributable to this growth in sales revenue. This has been achieved by a focus on growing the customer base, improving rates of conversion, retaining customers and driving average order value by:

  • Building on its supplier network and expanding the number of products accessible on its site to more than 78,000 at period end

  • Securing partnerships with global buy now pay later operators, Afterpay and Klarna, providing customers with flexible payment options and maintaining market competitiveness

  • Bolstering marketing and brand initiatives and efforts

  • Enhancing our customer proposition, for example, by introducing and embedding a free returns policy

  • Ongoing investment in technology, which enhances efficiency and improves customer experience.

FY22 Growth and Outlook

In line with the Group’s strategy, the business will continue to invest in key initiatives aimed at growth in sales revenue.

In July 2021, the Group announced a natural extension of its luxury product offering with the launch of a children’s wear range. This is expected to increase sales in our existing customer base in addition to attracting new customers.

To facilitate an acceleration in the rate of customer growth, additional resources will be allocated to key roles in operations and technology.

Technological advancements are key to maintaining and improving our online customer experience. Our customers expect a convenient, flexible and efficient experience and these features secure and retain our customers in a competitive market. The business will continue to invest in technology adding features to its online platform to ensure the edge over our competitors. Features such as a greater localisation capability and a mobile application are some of the enhancements that are focus areas for engineering effort in the near term. In a highly mobile and global market, these features provide our existing and new customers with additional flexibility and convenience.

As outlined in the Prospectus, Cettire’s marketing capabilities continue to be essential to the success of the platform. Investment in marketing and brand initiatives to cost effectively acquire new and retain existing customers will continue in FY22.

Capitalising on its extensive supplier relationships and process automation, the business expects to significantly grow the number of products accessible on its platform in FY22. As Cettire grows, its technology platform, reach and ability to sell large volumes at attractive margins continues to be attractive to its supplier network.

In FY21, the management team has positioned the business for ongoing growth into FY22 and beyond. The Group’s management capability, insights, focus and commitment will continue to deliver ongoing growth and shareholder value.

I thank the Board, CEO Dean Mintz and the Management team for their contribution over the past year and look forward to building on the significant successes in the year ahead.

Thank you to our shareholders who have invested in the growth potential of Cettire.

I look forward to building long term value as the Group executes on its growth ambitions ■

6 Cettire Annual Report 2021

CEO’s Letter

Dear Shareholders, It gives me great honour to be able to share Cettire’s inaugural full‑year financial results as an ASX‑listed company.

It has been a phenomenal year of growth and transformation for Cettire, highlighted by the IPO of our company on the ASX in December 2020. Our momentum across key metrics has accelerated, notwithstanding a backdrop of global uncertainty through COVID‑19. This is a testament to the attractiveness of the global luxury market in which we operate, the strength, resilience and traction of our business model and the dedication of our exceptional team.

We want Cettire to be a leading global platform for all members in the luxury value chain and I passionately believe we are just getting started. We are relentlessly focused on maximising the potential of our business.

Our strategic priorities are as follows: rapidly drive scale in the core business, enhance our technology platform, expand our product offering and supplier network and grow our addressable market via adjacencies.

A key objective in pursuing our IPO was to unlock new and incremental growth opportunities. Growth is our number one priority. During the year, we significantly stepped up our investment in customer acquisition and grew active customers by 285% to 114,830. New customer additions were a key driver of our sales revenue, which grew 304% to $92.4 million. We continue to see very strong growth rates across key markets and will be further investing in customer acquisition to capitalise on our momentum.

Our ability to serve and rapidly grow penetration of a global market is made possible by our proprietary core technology, which enables a high degree of automation and efficiency in our core processes. During the year, we made significant enhancements to our technology platform, with an increasing focus on customer‑facing features including search and filtering. Further, in August 2021, we announced the launch of our proprietary e‑commerce storefront software, which

represented the culmination of significant engineering effort. This will provide Cettire with new capabilities to support its global expansion. Further technology investment will be a critical driver of customer experience and conversion over time.

This year, we continued to diversify our supply chain, adding depth and breadth to our product database. We significantly grew the number of products available on our platform, with accessible products increasing to more than 78,000 at financial year end. Recently, we also commenced direct partnerships with brand owners which we see as a natural progression of our business and complements our existing supplier network.

Adjacent markets represent a significant opportunity for us to expand our addressable market and scale our investments in technology and marketing. During the financial year, we entered the children’s wear segment via a new website vertical. As well as growing our addressable market, this category expansion provides scope to grow share of spend with existing customers and introduce new potential customers to our platform.

Importantly, our customer feedback, as measured by Trustpilot reviews, remained overwhelmingly positive, despite growing orders by 4.5x year on year to more than 170,000. This is particularly pleasing and highlights the scalability of our platform.

A high‑performance culture is one of the keys to our success and our progress and performance during FY21 can be attributed to our small and elite team. On behalf of the Board and the executive team, I wish to acknowledge and thank the team for their dedication and focus.

I would like to sincerely thank our customers, our suppliers our shareholders and all of our other partners for their support through the year. I am immensely proud of our progress to date, but even more excited by the market opportunity ahead of us and the potential of Cettire’s platform. ■

Directors’ Report

30 June 2021

Your Directors present their report on the consolidated entity (the “Group” or “Cettire”) consisting of Cettire Limited (the “Parent” or ‘Parent Entity’) and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2021.

Directors

The following persons were Directors of Cettire Limited since the date of incorporation of the Parent and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:

Kerry (Bob) East, Chairman and Non‑Executive Director (appointed 29 October 2020)

Dean Mintz, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer (appointed 29 October 2020)[1] Bruce Rathie, Non‑Executive Director (appointed 29 October 2020) Richard (Rick) Dennis, Non‑Executive Director (appointed 29 October 2020)

Company Secretary

Fiona van Wyk was Company Secretary from 29 October 2020 and up to the date of this report.

Principal activities

During the year the principal continuing activities of the Group consisted of online retail sales.

Review of operations

During the year ended 30 June 2021, Cettire achieved several important milestones and delivered strong business results including:

  • Sales revenue of $92.4 million, up 304% on the prior corresponding period (“pcp”);

  • Active customers growing to 114,830 (285% growth vs pcp);

  • 170,389 orders processed, up 353% on the pcp;

  • 40% of gross revenue from returning customers (26% in the pcp); and

  • Successful IPO and listing on the ASX on 18 December 2020.

Financial performance

Sales revenue for the year was $92.4 million (2020: $22.9 million), an increase of 304% on the pcp. Growth was driven by a combination of customer growth and sales revenue per active customer which increased by 5% to $805 (2020: $766).

Statutory gross margin increased in the year to $22.0 million (2020: $6.4 million), predominantly driven by the growth in revenue.

Statutory net profit/(loss) after tax for the year was $(0.3) million, (2020: $1.5 million), as the Group invested for further growth. The statutory results were impacted by one‑off costs of $0.8 million relating to the IPO of Cettire shares on the ASX.

Financial position

The Group ended the period with a cash balance of $47.1 million and zero debt.

The cash balance includes the proceeds from the IPO. The Group generated positive cash flows from operations of $12.7 million.

Strategy

Cettire’s strategic focus is to grow its core business and to continue to drive the significant growth trajectory the Group has achieved to date. Cettire believes there is an opportunity to significantly increase its share of, and to benefit from further growth in, the personal luxury goods market and the transition to online shopping by building on Cettire’s own brand awareness and customer proposition and improving core infrastructure to generate stronger customer and unit economics.

The Group intends to invest across four key channels:

  • Increase marketing to enhance brand awareness, increase site traffic and revenue;

  • Technical and operational enhancements;

  • Expand product offering and supplier network; and

  • Other adjacencies.

1 Dean Mintz was the sole Director and CEO of Ark Technologies Pty Ltd prior to the corporate re‑organisation in which Cettire became the legal parent of Ark Technologies Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries.

10 Cettire Annual Report 2021

Significant changes in the state of affairs

During the year ended 30 June 2021, the following significant affairs occurred:

  • Cettire Limited was incorporated on 29 October 2020 and became the parent entity of Ark Technologies Pty Ltd (the “Pre‑Existing Group”) on 27 November 2020 in anticipation of listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”).

  • Cettire raised $40 million (80 million shares at $0.50 each) via an initial public offering (“IPO”) under a prospectus (“Prospectus”) lodged with ASIC on 27 November 2020. The primary objectives of the IPO were to:

  • provide the Group with access to capital markets to fund growth;

  • provide the Group with the benefits of an increased profile that comes with being a publicly listed company;

  • provide the Group with the benefits of a liquid market for its shares and an opportunity for others to invest in the Group; and

  • help accelerate the growth of the Cettire business;

  • Successful listing on the ASX on 18 December 2020.

On 27 November 2020, a corporate re‑organisation in which Cettire Limited became the legal parent of Ark Technologies Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries (the ‘Pre‑Existing Group’), was effected.

Dividends

During the year, dividends totalling $3,305,000 were paid to the shareholder prior to the re‑organisation and IPO.

Events occurring after balance sheet date

The impact of the COVID‑19 pandemic is ongoing and it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is continually developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

No other item, transaction or event has arisen since 30 June 2021 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group’s operations, the results of those operations, or the Group’s state of affairs in future financial periods.

Likely developments and expected results of operations

Information on likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of operations have not been included in this report because the Directors believe it would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

Environmental regulation

The Group is not subject to any significant environmental regulation under Australian Commonwealth or State law.

The Directors have accounted for the re‑organisation as a capital re‑organisation. Accordingly, the Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a continuation basis as if Cettire Limited has always controlled the businesses comprising the Pre‑Existing Group. The comparative financial information presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements represents that of the Pre‑Existing Group. This ensures consistency of presentation with historical and forecast financial information contained in the Prospectus.

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial period.

Remuneration report (audited)

A. Introduction

The Directors of Cettire are pleased to present the Remuneration Report (“Report”) for the Key Management Personnel (“KMP”) for the financial year ended 30 June 2021.

The Group’s remuneration practices aim to:

  • Align with the business needs, goals and financial and operational objectives of the Group with long‑term sustainable growth in shareholder value; and

  • Motivate, retain, and attract key Executives.

In FY21, the Remuneration and Nominations Committee engaged independent remuneration consultants to conduct a benchmarking exercise incorporating companies with similar market capitalisation and, to reward performance against achieving agreed annual objectives, the Board introduced a short‑term incentive (STI) framework for its Executive KMP. The STI framework, effective from FY22, is outlined in section C of this Report.

Considering the significant efforts of the Executive KMP during the year, the overall performance of the business in FY21 and the sales revenue achieved versus the forecast for FY21 outlined in the IPO Prospectus, the Board awarded the Executive KMP a discretionary STI for FY21, details of which are outlined in section D of this Report.

The Employee Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a summary of which was included in the IPO Prospectus lodged with ASIC on 27 November 2020 is designed with flexibility to award key employees with options, service rights and performance rights aimed at delivery of the long‑term success of the Group in line with the interests of shareholders.

During FY21, the Board:

  • Granted options to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Cettire, subject to long‑term retention and share price growth; and

  • Granted service rights to key employees aimed at long‑term talent retention.

This Report is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its regulations. Information has been audited as required by Section 308 (3C) of the Corporations Act 2001 .

30 Cettire Annual Report 2021

Notes to the Financial Statements

30 June 2021

Note 1. General information

The financial statements cover Cettire Limited (the “Group” or “Cettire”) as a group consisting of Cettire Limited (the “Parent” or “Parent Entity”) and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the period. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency.

Cettire Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia, with a listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Its registered office and principal place of business is:

Level 40

140 William Street Melbourne Vic 3000

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.

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of the Directors, on 30 August 2021.

Configuration or Customisation Costs in a Cloud Computing Arrangement (IAS 38 Intangible Assets )

During the financial year the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee IFRIC identified that various approaches to customisation and configuration costs for cloud computing arrangements were utilised by companies depending on internal policy. These policies varied from expensing all costs in full to capitalisation of all costs in full, with most entities taking a more nuanced approach in their capitalisation policy and differentiating between expenditure with different underlying fact patterns.

The Agenda Decision requires that management capitalise those elements of expenditure that meet the definition of an “Intangible Asset” as defined by AASB 138 Intangible Assets and recognise any additional amounts as an expense as the entity benefits from the expenditure – either by applying AASB 138 or applying another accounting standard.

The impact of this decision has not had a material impact on the consolidated entity’s financial statements.

Basis of preparation

Note 2. Significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out either in the respective notes or below. These policies have been consistently applied to all of the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. There are no standards that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the Group:

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework)

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

Historical cost convention

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

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3.

The consolidated entity has adopted the revised Conceptual Framework from 1 July 2020. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards, but it has not had a material impact on the Group’s financial statements.

Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , these financial statements present the results of the Group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 35.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Cettire Limited (‘Parent’ or ‘Parent Entity’) as at 30 June 2021 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Cettire Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the ‘Group’ or ‘Cettire’.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de‑consolidated from the date that control ceases.

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

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

Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non‑controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.

Operating segments

Operating segments are presented using the ‘management approach’, where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’). The CODM is responsible for

the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

Refer to note 5 for further information.

Foreign currency translation

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year‑end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.

Revenue recognition

The Group recognises revenue as follows:

Principal versus agent

The Group is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise (performance obligation) to provide the specified good to the Group’s customers. The Group also bears the risk for the acceptance of the good and is responsible for any good in transit. Therefore, the Group is the principal in these transactions and revenue is recognised as the gross selling price net of rebates, discounts and refunds.

Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the

32 Cettire Annual Report 2021

transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand‑alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.

Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the ‘expected value’ or ‘most likely amount’ method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability.

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is generally at the time of delivery.

Interest

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

Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised when the promised performance obligation is satisfied.

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 Group’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 Group’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.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non‑current.

Impairment of non‑financial assets

Non‑financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value‑in‑use. The value‑in‑use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre‑tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash‑generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash‑generating unit.

Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) and other similar taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.

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 tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results.

The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.

Public listing and corporate re‑organisation

Cettire Limited was incorporated on 29 October 2020. During the period, the Group undertook an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and corporate re‑organisation. On 27 November 2020, the corporate re‑organisation, in which Cettire Limited became the legal parent of Ark Technologies Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries (‘Pre‑Existing Group’), was effected.

The Directors have accounted for the re‑organisation as a corporate restructure. Accordingly, the Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared as a continuation of the Pre‑Existing Group. In the Directors’ judgement, the continuation of existing accounting values is consistent with the accounting which would have occurred if the assets and liabilities had already been in a structure suitable to IPO and most appropriately reflects the substance of the internal restructure.

Accordingly, the financial statements reflect a continuation of the Pre‑Existing Group and, as a result:

  • The assets and liabilities of the Group include the carrying values of the assets and liabilities of the Pre‑Existing Group rather than fair value;

  • The retained earnings and other shareholders equity balances recognised in the Consolidated Financial Statements include the existing retained earnings and other equity balances of the Pre‑Existing Group;

  • No goodwill has been recognised as a result of the re‑organisation;

• The Consolidated Financial Statements include financial results for the Group from re‑organisation to 30 June 2021 and the Pre‑Existing Group for the period of 1 July 2020 to the date of re‑organisation;

  • The comparatives presented are those of the Pre‑Existing Group;

  • The amounts recognised as issued capital in the Consolidated Financial Statements of Cettire Ltd reflect the impact of the restructure and the market capitalisation of Cettire at the date of the IPO (less costs that are offset against issued capital); and

  • An offsetting entry to a re‑organisation reserve has been recognised to align total equity with the net asset position of the Group.

Initial Public Offering (IPO) costs

On 17 December 2020, the Group undertook an IPO to list on the ASX. Costs incurred that are directly attributable and incremental to the issuance of new equity (net of tax) have been recognised in equity as an offset to the value of capital raised. The Directors exercised judgement in determining an allocation methodology (between equity and expense) for costs which relate to both the issuance of new equity and other activities. The Group’s methodology was determined with reference to the number of new shares issued in raising capital, and the nature and purpose of services rendered in incurring costs. All other costs were taken directly to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the period.

Share‑based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity‑settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. In respect of options, the fair value is determined by using either the Binomial, Black‑Scholes or Monte Carlo model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity‑settled share‑based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

Estimation of useful lives of intangible assets

The Group determines the estimated useful lives and related amortisation charges for its finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non‑strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.

34 Cettire Annual Report 2021

Recovery of deferred tax assets

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

Employee benefits provision

As discussed in note 17, the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date.

In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account.

Contract liabilities and Stock‑in‑transit

In determining the level of the contract liabilities (refer to note 15) and stock‑in‑transit (refer to note 10), the Group has made judgements in respect of the expected time to complete its performance obligations for delivery of goods to the customer. Historical experience has been taken into account in determining the contract liabilities and stock‑in‑transit.

Note 4. Restatement of comparatives

Reclassification

During the year, the Group determined that some costs included as General and administrative expense in the prior year are more accurately classified as Merchant fees. These costs have been reclassified to Merchant fees in the current year and comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in the presentation in the current year. The impact on the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the prior year has been shown in the extract below. The reclassification had no impact on total comprehensive income.

Note 5. Operating segments

Identification of reportable operating segments

The Group is organised into one (1) operating segment: online retail sales. The determination of this operating segment is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the CEO (who is identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (‘CODM’)) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

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.

Major customers

During the reporting period and the comparative period, no individual customer contributed more than 10 per cent of the Group’s revenue.

Disaggregation of revenue and non‑current assets by Geographical regions

The Group operates in Australia and internationally. Revenue is attributed to the country where the customer payment is registered i.e. billing address.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Continued

Note 7. Income tax continued

Accounting policy for income tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

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

  • When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or

  • When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

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

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

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

Accounting policy for derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.

Derivatives are classified as current or non‑current depending on the expected period of realisation.

42 Cettire Annual Report 2021

Accounting policy for intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.

Website and software development

Website and software research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Website and software development costs are capitalised when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility; the Group is able to use or sell the asset; the Group has sufficient resources and intent to complete the development; and its costs can be measured reliably. Capitalised website and software development costs are amortised on a straight‑line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 5 years commencing one year from the date of capitalisation, or when the asset becomes ready for use, whichever is later.

Trademarks

Significant costs associated with trademarks are deferred and amortised on a straight‑line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 10 years.

Accounting policy for trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short‑term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within the agreed credit terms.

Accounting policy for refunds payable

These amounts represent the goods expected to be returned by customers as a result of ‘change of mind’ or defective goods. The expected value of refunds payable is estimated based on historical data and a review of sales for the year and refunds issued post year‑end applicable to those sales.

Accounting policy for employee benefits

Short‑term employee benefits

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

Other long‑term employee benefits

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

Defined contribution superannuation expense

Notes to the Financial Statements Continued

Note 18. Deferred income continued

Accounting policy for deferred research and development incentive

The Group receives a tax offset from the government for some of the cost of doing eligible research and development activities. The Group has claimed a non‑refundable tax offset of 38.5% of eligible research and development spend. For the year ended 30 June 2019, the Group claimed a refundable tax offset of 43.5% of eligible research and development spend, which is paid in cash after submission of a valid claim.

The incentive should be recognised in profit or loss over the periods necessary to match the benefit of the credit with the costs for which it is intended to compensate. Where the research and development has been in whole or in part capitalised, the Group has accounted for the tax benefit as deferred income that is recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis matching the useful life of the asset.

e. Capital risk management

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

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

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

Note 22. Financial instruments

Financial risk management objectives

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate certain risk exposures. Derivatives are exclusively used for hedging purposes, i.e. not as trading or other speculative instruments. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, ageing analysis for credit risk and beta analysis in respect of investment portfolios to determine market risk.

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

48 Cettire Annual Report 2021

Market risk

Foreign currency risk

The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.

The maturity, settlement amounts and the average contractual exchange rates of the Group’s outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts at the reporting date were as follows:

The Group is exposed to foreign currency sensitivity from its existing financial liabilities, however this is mitigated through the use of forward foreign exchange contracts.

Price risk

The Group is not exposed to any significant price risk.

Interest rate risk

The Group is not exposed to any significant interest rate risk.

Credit risk

The Group has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to other receivables through the use of a provisions matrix using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative across all customers of the Group based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward‑looking information that is available.

Generally, other receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than 1 year.

The Group is not exposed to any significant credit risk.

Liquidity risk

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

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

Remaining contractual maturities

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

Fair value of financial instruments

Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognised when the holder’s contractual rights to its cash flows expires, or the asset is transferred in such a way that all the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred.

All of the following criteria need to be satisfied for derecognition of financial asset:

  • the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired or been transferred;

  • all risk and rewards of ownership of the asset have been substantially transferred; and

  • the Group no longer controls the asset (i.e. the Group has no practical ability to make a unilateral decision to sell the asset to a third party).

51

Notes to the Financial Statements Continued

Note 22. Financial instruments continued

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A liability is derecognised when it is extinguished (i.e. when the obligation in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires). An exchange of an existing financial liability for a new one with substantially modified terms, or a substantial modification to the terms of a financial liability is treated as an extinguishment of the existing liability and recognition of a new financial liability.

Note 23. Fair value measurement

Fair value hierarchy

The following tables detail the Group’s assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three‑level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being:

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date

  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

Consolidated – 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
$ $ $ $
Liabilities
Forward foreign exchange
contracts 259,713 259,713
Total assets 259,713 259,713
Consolidated – 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
$ $ $ $
Assets
Forward foreign exchange
contracts 6,787 6,787
Total assets 6,787 6,787

There were no transfers between levels during the period.

The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short‑term nature.

The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual maturities at the current market interest rate that is available for similar financial liabilities.

Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within level 2 and level 3

Derivative financial instruments have been valued using quoted market rates. This valuation technique maximises the use of observable market data where it is available and relies as little as possible on entity specific estimates.

52 Cettire Annual Report 2021

Accounting policy for fair value measurement

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

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

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

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

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 32. Earnings per share continued

Accounting policy for earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

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

Diluted earnings 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.

Note 33. Share‑based payments

Share‑based payments for the Group relate to securities issued under the Employee Incentive Plan (“EIP”). The EIP was implemented in November 2020 prior to the IPO of the Parent, to provide for equity‑based remuneration of employees in the listed environment. Granting of share rights is facilitated by the EIP. As at 30 June 2021, a total of 2,500,000 options over fully paid ordinary shares and 402,544 service rights to fully paid ordinary shares have been issued under the EIP.

Set out below are summaries of the options granted under the EIP. The options are subject to:

  • Achievement of the applicable share price condition for the relevant tranche over the relevant performance period; and

  • Continued employment with the Group until the vesting date of the relevant tranche.

1 Options vest on the day after the release of the financial statements for the half year ended 31 December 2023, estimated to be 28 February 2024.

2 Each tranche expires if not exercised 2 years after the vesting date for that tranche.

The valuation has been performed using a Binomial and a Monte Carlo model. Expected volatility was determined with reference to historical volatility of publicly traded peer companies.

Set out below are the summaries of the service rights granted under the EIP. The service rights are subject to:

  • Continued employment with the Group until the vesting date of the relevant tranche.
Grant date Share rights issued Fair value per unit at Fair value at

1/6/2021 296,612 $2.45 $726,699
3/6/2021 105,932 $2.35 $248,940

The fair value for rights was the share price on the grant date.

In the financial year, a total share‑based payment expense of $12,852 (2020: nil) was recognised in relation to issuance of service rights under the EIP.

Accounting policy for share‑based payments

Equity‑settled share‑based compensation benefits are provided to employees.

Equity‑settled transactions are awards of shares, rights to shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services.

The cost of equity‑settled transactions is measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is determined using either the Binomial or Black‑Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non‑vesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.

The cost of equity‑settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore, any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Continued

Note 33. Share‑based payments continued

If equity‑settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share‑based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.

If the non‑vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.

If equity‑settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.

Note 34. Interests in subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of the following subsidiaries in accordance with the accounting policy described in note 2:

Key audit matters

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

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Revenue recognition – Note 2 As disclosed in Note 2 to the financial report, revenue is recognised Our procedures included, amongst others: at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is • Reviewing revenue recognition policies and ensuring the expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods to a appropriate recognition of revenue under AASB 15; customer. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point • Performing analytical review for revenue disaggregated by month, in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is and where movements were outside expectations, obtaining generally at the time of delivery and the performance obligation is satisfied in accordance with AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with explanations along with corroborating documentation; Customers . • Selecting a sample of sales transactions recorded throughout the year and obtaining supporting documentation to validate the The majority of the Group’s sales transactions are completed through occurrence of the transaction and accuracy of amounts recorded; the “drop-ship” model whereby suppliers deliver goods directly to the Group’s customers. The Group is the principal in these transactions • Reviewing management’s cut-off assessment and calculation of and therefore revenue is recognised as the gross selling price net of contract liabilities to evaluate whether revenue was recorded in the returns and discounts. correct period; Revenue is only be recognised when delivery is made to the customer • Reviewing management’s refund provision calculation to ensure which requires an assessment at the end of the reporting period for all post-year end refunds have been appropriately provided for; and orders shipped but not yet delivered. • Assessing the adequacy of associated disclosures. Auditing standard ASA 240 The Auditor's Responsibilities Relating to Fraud in an Audit of a Financial Report , states that there is a presumed fraud risk that revenue may be misstated due to improper revenue recognition. This area is a key audit matter due to the judgement involved in this assessment, and the volume of online retail transactions processed on a daily basis. Capitalised development costs – Note 13

Note 13 of the financial statements includes capitalised development cost additions of $2.7 million to the Group’s intangible assets. These intangible assets are being amortised over a five year period, and an amortisation expense of $663k has been included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

AASB 138 Intangible Assets sets out the specific requirements to be met in order to capitalise development costs. Intangible assets should be amortised over their useful economic lives in accordance with AASB 138.

This area is a key audit matter due to subjectivity and management judgement applied in the assessment of whether costs meet the development phase criteria described in AASB 138, the estimate of the assets’ useful lives and consideration of impairment involving projected future cash flows under accounting standard AASB 136.

Our procedures included, amongst others:

  • Reviewing the reconciliation of intangible assets to the general ledger, and investigating any material variances;

  • Selecting a sample of additions to the asset during the period to evaluate whether they have been appropriately capitalised under the criteria of AASB 138;

  • Performing inquiries of management in regards to amortisation rates used throughout the period and any changes from the prior period;

  • Recalculating amortisation expense for the period;

  • Reviewing management’s assessment of impairment indicators and evaluating the reasonableness of assumptions applied in the assessment; and

  • Assessing the adequacy of associated disclosures in line with the requirements of AASB 138.

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Accounting for Research and Development (R&D) tax

incentive - Note 18

Under the research and development (R&D) tax incentive scheme, the Group receives a 38.5% tax offset of eligible expenditure as its turnover is greater than $20 million per annum, provided it is not controlled by income tax exempt entities. A registration of R&D Activities Application is filed with AusIndustry in the following financial year and, based on this filing, the Group receives the incentive as an offset against its current tax payable.

Management have performed a detailed review of the Group’s total R&D expenditure to determine the potential claim under the R&D tax incentive legislation. The R&D offset for the period ended June 30, 2021 was $1.2 million. This represents an estimated claim for the period from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021.

The Group accounts for the R&D offset under AASB 120 Accounting for Government Grants , whereby where R&D expenditure has been capitalised, the Group has recognised the tax benefit as deferred income that is recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis matching the useful life of the asset. Where R&D expenditure has not been capitalised, the benefit is recognised in the period it is received. This is a key audit matter due to the size of the receivable and because there is a degree of judgment and interpretation of the R&D tax legislation required to assess eligibility of the R&D expenditure under the scheme.

Our procedures included, amongst others:

  • Obtaining an understanding the process undertaken to calculate the R&D tax incentive;

  • Evaluating the competence, capabilities and objectivity of the specialist engaged by the Group to review the R&D expenditure;

  • Utilising an internal R&D tax specialist in:

  • Reviewing the methodology used by the Group for consistency with the R&D tax offset rules; and

  • Considering the nature of the expenses against the eligibility criteria of the R&D tax incentive scheme to assess whether the expenses included in the estimate were likely to meet the eligibility criteria;

  • Inspecting supporting documentation for a sample of expenses claimed to assess validity of the claimed amount and eligibility against the R&D tax incentive scheme criteria;

  • Comparing the nature of R&D expenditure included in the current year estimate to the prior year claim;

  • Considering the Group’s history of successful claims;

  • Inspecting copies of relevant correspondence with AusIndustry and the Australian Taxation Office related to the claims; and

  • Assessing the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures in relation to the R&D tax incentive.

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.
