About Cluey

We are an education technology company that provides personalised online tutoring and educational support to school students in Australia.

We enrol students into learning programs that align to their individual academic level, needs and school curriculum. These learning programs form the basis of ongoing engagement with our services; specifically live, fully interactive 1‑to‑1 or small group tutoring sessions with sequenced independent practice, which all take place in our secure, online learning environment.

Our comprehensive platforms, content and services are used by tutors to support students. We actively monitor all student learning and tuition quality, including measuring student coverage and mastery of the skills and concepts covered in their learning program. Tutors provide students and their parents with feedback after every live learning session.

Schools, a promising new frontier

Our core business establishes and manages relationships with families and students directly (a direct‑to‑consumer business model). In FY21, we extended our operations to include a division that works with schools (a business‑to‑business model) for the online delivery of tutoring and learning support services. Following the completion of a pilot across six public schools in Term 4 2020, we were endorsed by the NSW Department of Education as a provider under the $337 million COVID‑19 Intensive Learning Support Program.

In August 2021, we announced the acquisition of Code Camp Holdings Pty Ltd (“Code Camp”), which will complete in October 2021. Code Camp is a leading provider of K‑12 coding and digital skills. Code Camp delivers its services via in‑person school holiday camps, after school programs and online.

Our first move offshore

We’ve worked really hard to optimise our existing services. After a three‑year period of consistent growth in Australia, we’re now ready to make our first move offshore. In FY21, we laid the foundations for expanding our services to New Zealand in FY22. This requires re‑mapping of our content and developing multi‑curriculum, multi‑currency, international payment processing and tutor recruitment capabilities. This will stand us in good stead for further and larger international expansion down the line.

Cluey is on a mission to transform K-12 targeted learning

We support the learning of school‑aged students, augmenting the education they receive at school.

Our goal is to support the learning growth of students by bringing together expert educators, cutting edge technology and proprietary learning data to offer students a range of targeted learning services.

Cluey’s learning infrastructure underpins high-quality services at scale

Augmenting learning outside the classroom - the new normal

Parents are increasingly seeking more targeted and individualised support as part of their children’s education, and they often express an interest in greater transparency regarding their children’s learning progress[1] .

When considering further learning support outside of school, students, parents and other stakeholders usually seek one or more of the following:

We’re gaining market share in a large and fragmented market

School Students in Australia[2]

300k students[3 ]

not likely to consider any educational support

2 million students[3] use or are considering using paid (10%) or unpaid (42%) educational support (e.g., learning apps, test preparation materials)

~1.6 million students[3 ]

used tutoring in the past 12 months or are considering using in the next 12 months

  • ~4 million school students in Australia[2] ;

  • ~92% of those surveyed use or consider using online or offline academic support outside the school classroom; and

  • ~50% have paid, or are considering paying, for services such as tutoring[3] .

Until now, we’ve focused on the curriculum‑based learning support segment of the market. The acquisition of Code Camp marks our entry into the large co/extra‑curricula segment of the market. Over time, we intend to expand our reach in both segments. The key to unlocking value for each customer is owning the common customer data layer – so we can serve the right learning support to the right learner at the right point in their learning journey.

The tutoring industry is highly fragmented with a small number of large franchise brands and a large number of small operations. Tutoring is largely conducted from traditional learning centres or students’ or tutors’ homes. In response to customer demand for online learning, combined with the restrictions imposed by COVID‑19, tutoring services are increasingly being offered online. We are now the largest pure online K‑12 provider of tutoring and test preparation services in Australia.

Our learning analytics and AI keep getting smarter and are becoming our key differentiator

  • Over 100,000 data points collected in every hour of live learning

  • We’ve accumulated a data lake in excess of 17 billion data points

  • Data is transformed into a series of insights relating to the engagement and quality of service for both students and tutors via our proprietary learning analytics capabilities

  • All sessions are recorded for revision by students, analysis and quality assurance by us

  • Data and AI are used to evaluate tutor performance and optimise tutor‑student matching

  • Detailed reporting and feedback are provided to parents and students after every session

How Cluey turns data into insights

We summarise session quality from the tutor perspective by using a range of data points to evaluate tutor performance, guiding further development and improvements[4] .

We map all session activity data to its context, capturing over 100,000 data points per hour of learning, including video, audio, content coverage, whiteboard activity and duration. This is mapped to specific topics, concepts, and content[4] .

COVID-19 – the shake-up driving take-up

COVID‑19 has had a profound impact on the K‑12 education landscape. In 2020, the vast majority of school‑aged children were no longer attending classrooms[6] . With almost no warning, parents, teachers and children found themselves in a massive experiment – trying to discover new ways to teach and learn, and new ways of distributing responsibilities across home, school and work. More school closures in 2021 have reinforced the need to rethink how, where and when learning takes place. COVID‑19 has disrupted education on a scale never seen before.

Parents are now far more involved in their children’s learning. For the first time, many parents are experiencing first‑hand how their children are coping, where their difficulties are, and looking for ways to support them. This is changing the relationships between students, teachers and parents. The COVID‑19 crisis has forced students, parents and schools to embrace learning technology. This mass adoption of digital learning has now occurred at scale, accelerating the take‑up of Cluey’s comprehensive online offering, and we expect this trend to continue in the post COVID‑19 environment.

Message from the Chairman

This 2021 Annual Report for Cluey Ltd (Cluey) is our first since listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) last December. While the ongoing pandemic has overshadowed our everyday lives, Cluey has experienced outstanding growth and development.

Cluey is an innovative Australian online tutoring and learning support company that combines education, technology and data to deliver an optimal learner experience. In Australia, our goal is to help close the growing education gap by offering face‑to‑ face online one‑to‑one and small group tutoring via an adaptive learning platform. We offer programs mapped to the local curriculum which support each student’s needs and individual learning progression.

The outside‑of‑school learning support market is large and growing worldwide. In Australia’s market of ~4.0 million kindergarten to Year 12 students, ~2 million students used or are considering the use of educational support and in addition, ~1.6 million students used tutoring in the last 12 months or are considering using tutoring in the next 12 months[1] . Cluey’s online pedagogical learning support model is well‑placed to meet this growing need, as online learning is being embraced in earnest, particularly in light of COVID‑19. Furthermore, the market is highly fragmented, creating organic and acquisition opportunities across technologies, products, services and distribution.

In December 2020, we completed an IPO which raised $30 million as part of our listing on the ASX. These funds are being used to execute our core growth strategy. Our IPO received strong support from new and existing investors across the institutional and retail sectors, with applications for shares well exceeding the offer size.

Importantly, it has been inspiring to see our company continue to grow over the past 12 months, attaining key performance metrics and delivering over 250,000 student sessions – an exceptional achievement.

We reported several other significant achievements during the past 12 months. These included our selection as one of four providers for a $337 million NSW Department of Education Intensive Learning Support Program. The program aims to support students whose education has been detrimentally impacted by ongoing disruptions due to COVID‑19. The program will roll out to high priority NSW public schools commencing in the current school term.

We will be making our first step into offshore markets with an expansion into New Zealand. We expect to soft‑launch services in Q2FY22 with full roll‑out in Q3FY22. New Zealand represents an exciting opportunity to expand Cluey’s addressable market and validate its capabilities to extend its operations across multiple geographies, time zones and currencies, and with different curricula.

In addition, the EAB’s inaugural Chair, Professor Ian Young AO, has transitioned to Cluey’s Board of Directors and we welcome his input and insight.

As we look to the future, we see opportunities for Cluey to continue to scale through the use of data and learning analytics as key drivers of growth and optimisation of operations. The use of our data is critical for customer and learner insights and understanding the customer life cycle. We also see much potential in augmenting the core curriculum services with adjacent co/ extra‑curricula learning.

Our first acquisition, Code Camp, which offers coding and digital skills, broadens our product mix, smooths out the cyclicality of our core business and is an enabler for increasing active customers and lifetime value.

In August 2021, Cluey undertook a successful equity capital raising of $12m via an Institutional Placement and followed this with a Share Purchase Plan to raise $2m. This additional funding has strengthened our ability to pursue growth through strategic M&A activity. I welcome our new shareholders who have supported this capital raising.

In early September 2021, we were announced as the winner of the Technology Scale‑up Edtech of the Year Award. It celebrates disruptive Australian technology businesses that demonstrate high rates of growth, as well as innovation, integrity, contribution to community and sustainable growth. This award is a real tribute to Cluey!

I take this opportunity to thank our management team, led by one of our founders and tireless CEO, Mark Rohald, staff and tutors, for their commitment and dedication to our business during such a busy period and under operating conditions that were at times challenging. I also thank my fellow Directors and EAB members for their support and guidance throughout FY21. Finally, I would like to express our gratitude to our loyal institutional and retail shareholders who place their trust and confidence in Cluey.

I believe the year ahead will be just as crucial in delivering our vision for long‑term growth in both the core and adjacencies. FY22 has started strongly with the acquisition of Code Camp, a successful capital raise and record new students in August.

I hope you will continue to share the journey with us.

Cluey Ltd | Annual Report

CEO's Letter

I am incredibly proud of what Cluey has achieved over the past 12 months. Our business is continuing to scale rapidly, validating our service, market‑fit and business model. While Cluey was already experiencing significant growth before COVID‑19, the pandemic has accelerated the global shift to online learning by school‑age children. This transformation and momentum is driving unprecedented change and long term structural shifts in the traditional school‑based learning model. With little warning, parents, teachers and students found themselves in a massive experiment to teach and learn effectively online at home. For Cluey, the online learning environment is not new, and we are ideally positioned to benefit from this structural shift – we have been optimising our online learning model since 2018, and have already delivered more than 380,000 online learning sessions.

Even before COVID‑19, the demand for high quality learning support outside the classroom was very strong. With widespread disruptions to schooling and greater parental involvement in the day‑to‑day of learning, this demand is rapidly becoming the new normal.

Cluey was envisioned, designed and built to provide a fully digital learning experience ‑ we have strong conviction in the value and use of technology to enhance the education of school‑age students. For us, technology is much more than just a digital tool to connect learners and educators; we measure more than 100,000 data points in each session and analyse every learning interaction. Our data lake of more than 17 billion data points enables us to continuously optimise, improve and quality assure our service at scale. Most importantly, the use of data facilitates high quality, targeted and personalised online learning, augmenting what students are studying at school.

Having completed our IPO and ASX listing in December 2020, coupled with the significant and ongoing growth of the core business, I’m excited about pursuing opportunities to expand our products and services, including to new geographies, and scaling our business even faster.

Our results for FY21 are inspiring, as our growth and momentum place us in good stead to deliver on our medium‑term goals outlined in our Prospectus. In the past 12‑month period, we achieved revenue of $15.9m, up 226% on FY20, and gross profit of $8.6m, up 270% on FY20, both of which were ahead of our Prospectus forecast.

We had more than 15,500 active students during the second half of FY21, an increase of 131% on the same period in FY20. In FY21, we delivered more than 250,000 student sessions, an increase of 198% on FY20. Pleasingly, we are experiencing exponential scaling, with 88,000 student sessions delivered in Q4 FY21 alone, exceeding the total number of student sessions delivered in the entire previous financial year.

Notwithstanding the significant growth in revenues and sessions, we managed to reduce our variable customer acquisition costs (CAC) in FY21 to $563 per student, down 28% from $787 in FY20. We finished the year with a strong cash position of $28m, providing headroom to continue to fund our investments in growing the business.

In FY22, Cluey is well placed to continue to meet the growing demand for our core online learning support services in Australia. We will also commence offshore expansion as we move into New Zealand, with a full roll‑out scheduled for Q3 FY22. It is anticipated that the New Zealand market will contribute between 10‑15% incremental revenue to Cluey over time. While we have already started working with some schools, once schools re‑open, we should see a scaling of our services to high priority schools as part of the $337 million New South Wales Department of Education COVID Intensive Learning Support Program. Additionally, we are excited by the opportunity to continue growing Cluey both organically and via our M&A strategy. We are delighted to announce the acquisition of well‑established coding and digital skills provider, Code Camp. The acquisition of Code Camp is the first part of our broader M&A strategy, allowing us to further accelerate growth and smooth out cyclicality.

Code Camp delivers face‑to‑face and online school holiday camps and after‑school programs. This acquisition allows us to significantly grow our customer base and share of wallet, as we interact with the same students, parents and schools. We see extensive benefits associated with an integrated approach to customer acquisition, both B2C and B2B, as well as an expanded online product offering. On a pro‑forma basis, Cluey and Code Camp would have generated revenues of $20.4 million in FY21. This excludes an additional $2.4m in revenues which Code Camp lost due to COVID‑19 disruptions.

We are confident of achieving continued growth in key metrics including revenue, gross profit, new students, active students and student sessions in FY22 and are focused on improving our unit economics and reducing variable CAC.

We will continue to focus on ensuring our platforms, organisational capabilities and quality assurance frameworks are effectively managed to sustain our current growth trajectory and, at the same time, improve student retention, operational efficiencies and automation in our operations. We expect to innovate our offering with expanded academic subjects, and we will use our rollout in New Zealand as a test case for further geographic expansion into regions with similar school curricula to Australia. We continue to consider potential acquisition opportunities which complement our existing business operations.

With such a busy and productive year behind us in FY21, I’m looking forward to what we can achieve over the next 12 months.

Director’s report

30 June 2021

The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the ‘Group’) consisting of Cluey Ltd (referred to hereafter as the ‘Company’ or ‘parent entity’) and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the period ended 30 June 2021.

The Company was incorporated on 28 September 2020 and was inactive until 3 December 2020, when it acquired Quartet Education Holdings Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries. Therefore, the Group’s financial results reflect the period from 3 December 2020 to 30 June 2021. The trading results of the subsidiaries before that date are not included in the results as the acquisition of the subsidiaries was classed as a Group Reorganisation. There is no previous corresponding reporting period. Refer to ‘Significant changes in the state of affairs’ below for further details.

Directors

The following persons were directors of Cluey Ltd during the whole of the financial period (commencing on 28 September 2020, the date the Company was incorporated) and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:

Robert Gavshon ‑ Chairman*

Mark Rohald ‑ Chief Executive Officer*

Professor Ian Young *

Michael Stibbard (appointed 9 December 2020)

Louise McElvogue (appointed 9 December 2020)

  • Appointed at date of incorporation

Principal activities

During the financial period the principal continuing activity of the Group was educational technology providing the development of online tutoring and educational support.

Dividends

There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current financial period.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

Group reorganisation

On 3 December 2020, Cluey Ltd acquired Quartet Education Holdings Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries. The acquisition did not meet the definition of a business combination in accordance with AASB 3 ‘Business Combinations’.

Instead, the combination has been treated as a group reorganisation, through an accounting policy choice using the common control method, as follows:

  • The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts. No adjustments have been made to reflect their fair values, or recognise any new assets or liabilities, that would otherwise be required under AASB 3.

  • No goodwill has been recognised as a result of the combination.

  • A common control reserve is created for the difference between the fair value of the purchase consideration of $110,955,249 and the carrying value of the assets and liabilities acquired.

  • The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income reflects the results of the combined entities from 3 December 2020 to 30 June 2021.

Admission to the Australian Securities Exchange (‘ASX’)

The Company completed an Initial Public Offering (‘IPO’) and was admitted to the ASX on 9 December 2020. $30 million was raised in December 2020 from the issue of 25.1 million new shares. The cash raised will be used to fund Cluey’s growth strategy, including investment in sales and marketing, product development and operations.

Coronavirus (COVID‑19)

The closure and disruption to school‑based education during COVID‑19 has generally resulted in an increase in demand for Cluey’s online tutoring services. The Group did not claim JobKeeper subsidies from the Australian Government as the eligibility criteria were not met. Prior to the group reorganisation, Cluey Learning Pty Ltd received a total of $100,000 cash flow boost from the Australian Tax Office.

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

Review of operations

Overview of operations

Cluey is an educational technology company, providing personalised online tutoring and educational support to school students in Australia. Cluey’s integrated technology platform offers students in K‑12 access to:

The consolidated statement of profit or loss includes the results of the Group from the date the Company acquired the operating subsidiaries, being 3 December 2020, to 30 June 2021. During this period there has been significant growth in the Cluey business. The key financial metrics include:

  • Revenue from services rendered of $10.1 million, driven by significant growth in new students and student sessions

  • Gross Profit (revenue less tutor costs) of $5.5 million, and Gross Profit Margin of 55%

  • Marketing spend of $5.7 million including increased investment in media and brand activity to accelerate future growth

  • Employee benefits expense of $8.1 million including increased headcount to support growth

Revenue and Key Performance Indicators (‘KPIs’)

In the second half of the 2021 financial year (‘H2FY21’) revenue increased by 167% to $9.4 million, compared to the prior corresponding period (‘H2FY20’) (‘PCP’). The KPIs which impacted revenue were:

  • 123% increase in New Students (with a session) compared to PCP, to 11,605

  • 157% increase in student sessions compared to the PCP, to 149,340

  • 4% increase in average revenue per session, noting that over the same period, small group student sessions, which are 38% lower priced than one‑to‑one sessions, increased by 352% to 18,687.

Other highlights

Cluey selected for NSW Government school tutoring program

In June 2021, the Company announced it was one of four providers chosen to deliver the New South Wales Government’s COVID intensive learning support program (COVID ILSP). The four approved providers were subject to a rigorous procurement process to provide services.

Cluey’s participation in the $337 million program is expected to commence in high priority schools in 2021.

Cluey expects to deliver this program to a range of schools and has invested in school‑specific customer acquisition capabilities to support this initiative. This includes the appointments of a Head of School Partnerships to focus on sales and marketing, and staff to support schools, facilitate onboarding and program management.

Cluey Ltd | Annual Report

New Zealand launch

Since year end, the Company also announced its first launch in offshore markets, with Cluey’s expansion into New Zealand. The services will soft launch in the second quarter of FY2022 (‘Q2FY2022’), with a full rollout planned for Q3FY2022. New Zealand represents an opportunity to expand Cluey’s addressable market and validate the Company’s capabilities to extend its operations across multiple geographies, time zones and currencies, and with different curricula.

Cluey anticipates the New Zealand market could contribute between 10‑15% incremental revenue to Cluey over time. Customer acquisition, activation and retention will primarily be driven via Cluey’s existing sales and marketing resources, capabilities, and strat‑ egies. Cluey will augment its existing inbound Call Centre personnel with some New Zealand based operators to assist with higher volume of leads. Cluey will utilise all its existing technology and platforms to deliver the service, using localised learning programs and content aligned to the New Zealand curriculum and delivered by New Zealand tutors.

Cluey Ltd | Annual Report

Revenue from services rendered

Revenue has grown significantly by 226% from $4.9 million in FY20 to $15.9 million in FY21. Revenue growth has been driven by:

  • New students[(5)] in FY21 of 17,832, an increase of 134% on FY20

  • Student sessions in FY21 of 250,613, an increase of 198% on FY20

  • Average revenue per session in FY21 of $63.32, an increase of 9% on FY20

  • Active students[(6)] in H2 FY21 of 15,543, an increase of 131% on 6,722 Active students in H2 FY20

Cost of sales

Cost of sales includes payments to tutors for their services in the provision of online tutoring. Tutor costs increased by 186% to $7.3 million in FY21 compared to FY20. Revenue growth (226%) exceeded the growth in tutor costs primarily due to the increase in small group sessions. Small group sessions, launched in January 2020, including up to four students in the same session with one tutor, increased to 12% of total student sessions in the year to 30 June 2021. This contributed to an increase in Gross Profit Margin, which increased to 54% in FY21 from 48% in FY20.

Operating expenses

  • Direct marketing expenses increased 81% from $4.4 million in FY20 to $8.0 million in FY21, of which $0.9 million of this was invested in brand spend to develop Cluey’s long‑term brand equity.

  • Administration expenses increased 54%, mostly due to IT costs associated with the investment in remote working capability, new product development and increased public company, audit, and compliance costs post listing.

  • Employee benefits expense, excluding share‑based payments issued in conjunction with the IPO, increased 28% from $10.3 million in FY20 to $13.2 million in FY21. Full time equivalent (‘FTE’) increased 21% from 97.5 in June 2020 to 118.4 in June 2021. 10.0 FTE were added to the sales team and 10.3 FTE were added to the customer support team to manage and support the increase in forecast student enrolments and student sessions. These increases were partially offset by $0.8 million of employee benefit expenses capitalised as intangible assets (refer note 13 of the financial report for further details).

Variable acquisition expenditure[(4)]

  • Total variable acquisition expenditure, which includes direct marketing expenses, Learning Advisor (sales) employment costs and commissions, increased by 67% from $6.0 million in FY20 to $10.0 million in FY21 delivering an increase of 134% in new students.

  • Variable acquisition expenditure per new student decreased by 28% from $787 in FY20 to $563 for FY21 due to ongoing optimisation of online and media channels, process and performance improvements in the sales team and increasing benefits associated with brand activities.

IPO and related costs

  • IPO and capital raise costs of $1.7 million were incurred in FY21 upon listing on the ASX. $1.3 million relate directly to the IPO. In addition to the $1.7 million of expensed costs, the Group also capitalised equity raising costs of $1.9 million related to the issue of 25.1 million new shares.

  • Share‑based payment expense of $0.9 million relates to the issue of shares to employees prior to the Group reorganisation in anticipation of the IPO.

  • Prior to the IPO, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Quartet Education Holdings Pty Ltd, converted $20.5 million of convertible loan notes (‘CLNs’) to equity. On conversion, interest of $6.2 million was due and paid to CLN holders in November 2020.

  • $14.3 million of fair value loss relates to the accounting revaluation which occurred immediately prior to the conversion of CLNs on 30 November 2020. 10,751,977 CLNs issued at a price of $1.9102, converted into 10,751,977 ordinary shares in Quartet Education Holdings Pty Ltd, prior to converting into 29,052,917 ordinary shares in Cluey Ltd following a share split of 2.7021 for each ordinary share held. At the IPO issue price of $1.20 per share, the value of these shares was $34.9 million. The net fair value loss was calculated as the difference between the value of these shares on IPO and the value of the underlying CLNs of $20.5 million.

Revenue, Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

  • FY21 actual revenue of $15.9 million exceeded forecast by 3% ($0.4 million) as a direct result of a 4% increase in student sessions to 250,613 compared to forecast of 241,348.

  • Actual cost of sales increased in line with revenue, achieving the forecast gross margin of 54%.

  • Gross Profit of $8.6 million exceeded forecast by 4% ($0.3 million)

Operating expenses

  • Marketing expenses of $8.0 million were $1.4 million (21%) above forecast and represented additional investments of: » $0.9 million in Brand, the majority spent in H2FY21 to develop Cluey’s long‑term brand equity, and

  • » $0.5 million in Media and direct response marketing focused on short term customer acquisition, which took advantage of additional media inventory available at or below forecast Variable CAC per new student

  • Notwithstanding the increase in total marketing expenses, Variable CAC per new student of $563 was 1% better than forecast Variable CAC per student of $571.

  • Administration expenses of $3.5 million exceed forecast by $0.6 million (20%) due to IT spend, including increased investment in remote working capabilities and investment in new product development and technology to roll out new services (including Schools and New Zealand).

  • Employee benefits expense of $13.2 million exceeded forecast by $1.0 million (8%) primarily due to additional Sales and Customer Support resources in anticipation of a step‑change in students and sessions in FY2022, and $0.5 million FY21 short‑term incentive bonuses and $0.3 million of share‑based payment expense, both of which were not included in the forecast as the amounts could not be accurately measured at the time of preparing the forecast. This was partially offset by $0.8 million of employee benefit expenses capitalised as intangible assets (refer note 13 of the financial report for further details).

IPO and related costs

  • IPO and capital raise costs of $1.7 million were below forecast by $0.2 million (10%) due to lower than forecast advisor fees ($0.1 million) and the forecast contingency of $0.1 million not being required.

  • Share based payment expense (issued in conjunction with the IPO) and interest on CLNs were marginally below forecast due to differences between the forecast calculation and actual expense calculated.

The net fair value loss on financial instruments of $14.3 million exceeded the forecast loss of $10.2 million by $4.1 million (40%) due to the final accounting valuations applied to the Cluey shares issued on conversion. The forecast assumption was based on the IPO shares being issued at the mid‑point of the valuation range, whereas the final valuation was set at the top of the valuation range.

Balance sheet

Actual cash at 30 June 2021 was $28.0 million, below forecast cash per the Prospectus of $30.9 million. The difference of $2.9 million was a result of:

  • $1.4 million additional investment in media and brand (marketing) as explained above.

  • $0.6 million additional investment in technology as explained above.

  • $0.4 million additional spend on Sales and Customer Support resources in anticipation of step‑change in students and sessions in FY22

Remuneration report (audited)

The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the Group, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. The remuneration report has been prepared for the period from when the Group was formed on 3 December 2020 to 30 June 2021.

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

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

  • Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

  • Details of remuneration

  • Service agreements

  • Share‑based compensation

  • Additional information

  • Additional disclosures relating to key management personnel

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

The objective of the Group’s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered noting that Cluey is in the start‑up phase and has a corporate objective to achieve positive operational cashflow. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best practice for the delivery of reward. The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

  • competitiveness and reasonableness

  • acceptability to shareholders

  • performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation

  • transparency

A Remuneration Committee was formed in the period and is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its directors and executives. The performance of the Group depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high‑quality personnel whilst achieving the strategic and corporate objectives.

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

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

  • having economic profit as a core component of plan design

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

  • attracting and retaining high calibre executives

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

  • balancing start‑up risk and the need to preserve cash

  • rewarding capability and experience

  • reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth

  • providing a clear structure for earning rewards

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

Cluey Ltd | Annual Report

Non-executive directors’ remuneration

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

ASX listing rules require the aggregate non‑executive directors’ remuneration be determined periodically by a general meeting. The most recent determination was made prior to listing and detailed in the Prospectus dated 23 October 2020. The shareholder (pre‑ listing) approved a maximum annual aggregate remuneration of $500,000 for non‑executive directors.

Executive remuneration

The Group aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of remuneration which has both fixed and variable components.

The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components:

  • base pay and non‑monetary benefits

  • short‑term performance incentives

  • share‑based payments

  • other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave

The combination of these comprises the executive’s total remuneration.

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non‑monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the Group and comparable market remunerations.

The short‑term incentives (‘STI’) program is designed to align the targets of the business with the performance hurdles of executives. STI payments are granted to executives based on specific annual targets and key performance indicators (‘KPI’s’) being achieved. KPI’s include growth, monetisation, engagement and business sustainability.

The long‑term incentives (‘LTI’) include long service leave and share‑based payments. Options and Performance Rights are awarded to executives as part of the Omnibus Incentive Scheme. Options granted vest over a period of three years based on service conditions. Performance rights granted vest on the achievement of long‑term incentive measures. These include achieving positive operational cashflow. The Remuneration Committee reviewed the long‑term equity‑linked performance incentives specifically for executives during the period ended 30 June 2021. While the Company remains in a net operating cash outflow position, the Remuneration Committee has agreed that Executive remuneration should be weighted more toward non‑cash LTI.

Group performance and link to remuneration

Remuneration for certain individuals is directly linked to the performance of the Group through the STI program. A portion of cash bonus and incentive payments are dependent on defined revenue and gross profit measures being met. The Remuneration Committee also has the discretion to settle bonus and incentive payments through the issue of equity instruments (such as shares or options) and / or the repayment of existing loans associated with Treasury shares. Refer to the section ‘Additional information’ below for details of the earnings.

Use of remuneration consultants

The Group has not engaged any remuneration consultants during the period, although the Remuneration Committee purchased an independent consultants’ report on Executive remuneration benchmarking as part of the remuneration review process.

Non-audit services

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non‑audit services provided during the financial period by the auditor are outlined in note 23 to the financial statements.

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

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

  • all non‑audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and

  • none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision‑making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Note 1. General information

The financial statements cover Cluey Ltd as a consolidated entity consisting of Cluey Ltd (‘Company’ or ‘parent entity’) and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the period (collectively referred to as the ‘Group’). The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency.

Cluey Ltd is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business is:

Level 8 51 Pitt Street Sydney NSW 2000

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.

Cluey Ltd was incorporated on 28 September 2020 and acquired the operating subsidiaries (refer note 28) on 3 December 2020. Accordingly, the Group’s financial results reflect the period from 3 December 2020 to 30 June 2021. The trading results of the subsidiaries before that date are not included in the results as the acquisition of the subsidiaries was classed as a Group Reorganisation. There is no previous corresponding reporting period.

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 30 August 2021. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.

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.

Basis of preparation

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

Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

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.

Cluey Ltd | Annual Report

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

30 June 2021

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Group reorganisation - Quartet Education Holdings Pty Ltd

When Cluey Ltd acquired Quartet Education Holdings Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries, the acquisition did not meet the definition of a business combination in accordance with AASB 3 ‘Business Combinations’.

Instead, the combination has been treated as a group reorganisation, through an accounting policy choice using the common control method, as follows:

  • The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts. No adjustments have been made to reflect their fair values, or recognise any new assets or liabilities, that would otherwise be required under AASB 3;

  • No goodwill has been recognised as a result of the combination.

  • A common control reserve is created for the difference between the fair value of the purchase consideration of $110,955,249 and the carrying value of the assets and liabilities acquired (refer to note 18); and

  • The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income reflects the results of the combined entities from 3 December 2020 to 30 June 2021.

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 27.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of the Company as at 30 June 2021 and the results of the Group for the period then ended.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is ex‑posed 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 common control subsidiaries is accounted for using the common control method, which are scoped out of AASB 3 ‘Business Combinations’ and therefore a suitable accounting policy needs to be adopted in accordance with the hierarchy in AASB 108 ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’. This hierarchy requires the adoption of a policy that provides users of the financial statements with relevant and reliable information about the finan‑cial position and performance of the reporting entity. The policy adopted for common control business combinations is the pooling of interest method. This method requires the combination to be recorded at carrying value at the date of ac‑quisition, no goodwill to be recognised and the excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration over the carrying value of the assets and liabilities to be recorded as a group reorganisation reserve.

The acquisition of other 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 considera‑tion 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.

Cluey Ltd | Annual Report

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

30 June 2021

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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.

Foreign currency translation

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

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the Company’s functional currency 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 period‑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:

Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand‑alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.

Rendering of services

Revenue for tuition services is recognised at a point in time, being the date the service (i.e., the session) is provided. Payments from customers are received prior to services being delivered. Fees received in advance are recognised as contract liabilities.

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.

30 June 2021

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Research and development claim income

The Group has adopted the income approach to accounting for research and development tax offsets pursuant to AASB 120 ‘Accounting for Government Grant and Disclosure of Government Assistance’ whereby the incentive is recognised in profit or loss as other income on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises the eligible expenses.

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.

An income tax benefit will arise for the financial year where an income tax loss is incurred and, where permitted to do so, is carried‑back

against a qualifying prior period’s tax payable to generate a refundable tax offset.

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.

Cluey Ltd (the ‘head entity’) and its wholly‑owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has applied the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group.

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity.

30 June 2021

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short‑term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Trade and other receivables

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

Property, plant and equipment

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

Depreciation is calculated on a straight‑line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment over their expected useful lives as follows:

Ofce equipment 3 to 5 years
Computer equipment 3 to 5 years

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

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

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.

Platform

Significant costs associated with the development of the platform are deferred and amortised on a straight‑line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being 3 to 5 years.

Cluey Ltd | Annual Report

30 June 2021

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Content

Content costs are capitalised on worked hours in development of writing content for lessons and are amortised on a straight‑line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being 5 years.

Capitalisation of Platform and Content development costs

An internally generated intangible asset arising from development of Platform and Content is recognised if, and only if, all of the following conditions 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. This includes internal labour costs. Where no internally generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is 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 that are acquired separately.

The amortisation period for development costs incurred on the Group’s content development is 5 years, and for the Group’s platform

development is 3 years.

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

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.

Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial period 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 30 days of recognition.

Contract liabilities

Contract liabilities represent the Group’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer and are recognised when a customer pays consideration, or when the Group recognises a receivable to reflect its unconditional right to consideration (whichever is earlier) before the Group has transferred the goods or services to the customer.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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. 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

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Share‑based payments

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

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

The cost of equity‑settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using the Black‑Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option or performance right, 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 or performance right, together with non‑vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Group 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 or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.

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 Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Group 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.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Issued capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

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

Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

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

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

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.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2021. The Group has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

30 June 2021

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.

Coronavirus (COVID‑19) pandemic

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID‑19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the Group based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers and staffing. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the Group unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID‑19) pandemic.

Estimation of useful lives of assets

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

Accounting for the internal restructure at Initial Public Offering (‘IPO’)

During the financial period, an internal restructure took place in preparation of the listing of the Group on the Australian Securities Exchange. This resulted in a newly incorporated company, Cluey Ltd, becoming the legal parent of the Group.

The directors elected to account for the restructure as a group reorganisation rather than a business combination. In the directors’ judgement, the continuation of the existing accounting values is consistent with the accounting that 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 restructure. As such, the consolidated financial statements of the new Cluey Ltd Group have been presented as a continuation of the pre‑existing accounting values of assets and liabilities in Quartet Education Holdings Pty Ltd financial statements. The Group’s financial results reflect the period from 3 December 2020, being the date of the Group Reorganisation, to 30 June 2021. The trading results of the subsidiaries before that date are not included in the results as the acquisition of the subsidiaries was classed as a Group Reorganisation.

In adopting this approach, the directors’ note that there is an alternative view that such a restructure should be accounted for as a business combination under AASB 3 ‘Business Combinations’. If this view had been taken, the net assets of the Group would have been accounted for at fair value.

Note 4. Operating segments

Identification of reportable operating segments

The Group is organised into one operating segment as the Group operated in Australia and in one industry being the development of an online tutoring platform and the provision of online tutoring. This assessment is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’)) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. Accordingly the information provided in this report reflects the one operating segment.

Note 5. Revenue

Disaggregation of revenue

Revenue of $10,072,911 for the period relates to online tutoring within Australia and the services are transferred at a point in time.

Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in any dividends declared and any proceeds attributable to shareholders should the Company be wound up, in proportions that consider both the number of shares held and the extent to which those shares are paid up. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.

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

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Note 17. Issued capital (continued)

Capital risk management

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

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

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital

to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The Group would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to the current Company’s share price at the time of the investment.

Note 18. Reserves

The Company was incorporated on 28 September 2020 and was inactive until 3 December 2020, when it acquired Quartet Education Holdings Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries (refer note 2).

Note 20. Financial instruments

Financial risk management objectives

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, but none are considered significant. These are described below. Any risk management required is carried out by the senior finance executives under policies approved by the Board of 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 hedges financial risks within the Group’s operating units. Finance reports to the Board on a regular basis.

Market risk

Interest rate risk

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

Credit risk

The Group invests its cash with highly reputable financial institutions and has, therefore, no significant risk in this regard. As all payments from customers are required before services are rendered, the Group has no other credit risk.

Liquidity risk

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

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

The Company has approved an Employee Incentive Plan which will enable the Board, from time to time and in its absolute discretion, to make an offer to any employee, contractor or director (including any prospective employee, contractor or director) (‘Eligible Employee’) to participate.

The Employee Incentive Plan is an omnibus plan which allows the Board complete discretion in determining the most appropriate incentive to be offered upon the terms set out in the Employee Incentive Plan and upon such additional terms and conditions as the Board determines. In particular, the Board may determine at any time up until the exercise of an Award under the Employee Incentive Plan that a restriction period may apply to some or all of the Awards issued to Eligible Employees.

The Employee Incentive Plan provides for the issue to a Participant of:

  • Options, which may be subject to vesting conditions as determined by the Board, including Good Leaver and Bad Leaver conditions;

  • Shares, either at a discount to market value or at market value with an ability for a loan to be provided by the Company to the employee, repayable from dividends and/or the sale of shares once vesting conditions have been lifted;

  • Shares, in lieu of any wages, salary, director’s fees or other remuneration, or by the Company in its discretion, in addition to their wages, salary and remuneration, or in lieu of any discretionary cash bonus or other incentive payment;

  • Performance Rights which will be issued for nil consideration and subject to vesting conditions as determined by the Board; and

  • Free or discounted shares to employees being subject to the concessional tax treatment in Division 83A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, as determined by the Board from time to time.

The Company must have reasonable grounds to believe, when making an offer under the Employee Incentive Plan, that the number of Shares to be received on exercise of Awards offered under an offer, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made in reliance on the Class Order at any time during the previous 3 year period under an employee incentive scheme covered by the Class Order or an ASIC exempt arrangement of a similar kind to an employee incentive scheme, will not exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the offer.

The directors are entitled to participate in the Employee Incentive Plan, subject to Shareholder approval.

Employee Share Option Plan - historic

Prior to the Group reorganisation on 3 December 2020, an Employee Share Option Plan (‘ESOP’) had been established by Quartet Education Holdings Pty Ltd (‘QEH Group’), whereby the QEH Group may, at the discretion of the Board, grant options to acquire ordinary shares in the Quartet Education Holdings Pty Ltd to certain key personnel of the QEH Group. The options were issued for nil consideration and granted in accordance with performance guidelines established by the Board.

Participation in the ESOP was by invitation by the Board. Options have a 10 year expiry from date of grant and are issued with an exercise price of the most recent capital raise. Vesting of options is 25% per annum over the initial 4 year period after grant date.

At 30 June 2020, a total of 1,495,797 options were outstanding under this plan. Immediately prior to the Group reorganisation, a total of 1,516,003 options were outstanding. As part of the Group reorganisation, and prior to the IPO, the options were converted to Cluey Ltd shares with a share split of 2.7021, resulting in 4,096,411 Cluey Ltd shares being issued. These shares are included in the issued capital of Cluey Ltd, however are held by an Employee Share Trust and subject to vesting conditions as outlined above being achieved. Quartet Education Holdings provided loans to option holders equal to the option exercise (strike) price applicable for each grant. Once vesting conditions are met, employees are required to repay all loan balances before share ownership is transferred. As the shares are held in Trust, in the Group accounts they are treated as Treasury Shares and reduce the number of shares on issue for disclosure purposes. The value of loans receivable by the Group is also deducted from equity and not recognised as an asset.

The total shares classified as Treasury Shares at 30 June 2021 under this ESOP is 4,008,170, and the loan amount associated with these shares is $1,551,973. During the period from 3 December 2020 to 30 June 2021, 88,241 vested shares were released from the Trust and $34,355 of loans were repaid to the Group.

Note 32. Events after the reporting period

On 30 August 2021, the Company announced that it has entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of Codecamp Holdings Pty Ltd (‘Code Camp’), a business located in Sydney, NSW and operating throughout Australia. The acquisition is subject to customary conditions precedent including no material adverse change by the completion date and is expected to complete on 1 October 2021. Consideration for the transaction will include payment of $1.3 million in cash, the issue of $6.7 million in ordinary shares of the Company, due on completion.

On 30 August 2021, the Company also announced a $12 million share placement for the issue of ordinary shares in the Company to institutional and sophisticated investors. The placement will be used to support the acquisition and growth of Code Camp and assist in funding additional growth opportunities. A further $2 million Share Purchase Plan available to Eligible shareholders has also been announced on 30 August 2021 and is expected to be completed by early October 2021.

No other matter or circumstance 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 years.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the directors of Cluey Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Cluey Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

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

  • Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and

  • 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 & Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

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

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

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation. Member of Deloitte Asia Pacific Limited and the Deloitte organisation.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Cluey Ltd

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.

Key Audit Matter How the scope of our audit responded to the Key Audit Matter
Valuation of unearned revenue (revenue
cut-off)
As at 30 June 2021, the Group recognised
unearned revenue of $706,826 classified
as contract liabilities in the consolidated
statement of financial position as disclosed
in Note 2.
The Group’s calculation of unearned
revenue in respect of tuition sessions
purchased but not yet delivered requires
the analysis and matching of volumes of
data to assess whether a tuition session
(which must be paid for in advance) has
been delivered.
Our procedures included, but were not limited to:

Assessing the accounting policies adopted by the
Group in relation to revenue recognition;

Obtaining a detailed understanding of the terms and
conditions of the customer contracts;

Assessing the design and implementation of controls
over the process for calculating and recognising
unearned revenue.

Testing the calculation of unearned revenue, which is
based on undelivered pre-paid tuition sessions, by
assessing whether a sample of pre-paid tuition
sessions have been recorded (recognition criteria met)
as delivered or as not delivered appropriately.
We have also assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures in
the notes 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 30 June 2021 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 do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Cluey Ltd | Annual Report

Independent auditor's report to the members of Cluey Ltd

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 from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • 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.

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, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

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.

  • 2.6.

EXPLANATION

Robert Gavshon is the Chairman of the Board and as such the Company does not satisfy this Recommendation (that is, because he is not considered by the other Directors to be “independent”). Nonetheless, the Directors other than Robert Gavshon, consider that Robert Gavshon is the most the appropriate person to act as the Chairman of the Board given his experience and expertise.

As set out in the Nomination Committee Charter, the Nomination Committee is responsible for developing, implementing and reviewing director induction programs and to update and enhance directors’ continuing education measures to enhance and maintain the knowledge and skills necessary to perform their roles as directors effectively. As the Company has not yet established a Nomination Committee, the full Board undertakes the role of the nomination committee and considers all the matters as set out in the Company’s Nomination Committee Charter.
