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 31 December 2020.
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 was not met.
There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial period.

Revenue from services rendered
Revenue has grown significantly by 385% from $1.3 million in HY2020 to $6.4 million in HY2021. Revenue growth has been driven by:
-
An increase of 159% in New students[1] to 6,223
-
An increase of 225% in Active students with a session to 10,311
-
An increase of 290% in Student sessions to 101,268
Revenue of $6.4 million in HY2021 exceeded HY2021 forecast[2] by $0.2 million (3%), primarily the result of exceeding the forecast session target by more than 3,700 (4%) sessions. Student sessions and total revenue for the half year are 42% of the full year forecast, whilst only 39% of the FY21 forecast variable acquisition expenditure has been incurred.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales includes payments to tutors for their services in the provision of online tutoring. Tutor costs increased by 282% to $3.0 million in HY2021 compared to HY2020. Revenue growth has significantly exceeded the growth in tutor costs due to the success of small group sessions. Small group sessions, launched in January 2020, have increased to 11.2% of total student sessions in the six months to 31 December 2020.
Gross profit and gross profit margin
Gross profit increased 539% from $0.5 million in HY2020 to $3.4 million in HY2021. Gross profit margin increased 32% from 40% in HY2020 to 53% in HY2021 and is in line with forecast.

Operating expenses
-
Direct marketing expenses (excluding employee benefits expense for the marketing department) increased 29% from $2.0 million in HY2020 to $2.6 million in HY2021.
-
Administration expenses increased 7%, primarily due to IT costs and audit and compliance costs post listing.
-
Employee benefits expense, excluding share-based payments, increased 22% from $5.1 million in HY2020 to $6.2 million in HY2021. FTE increased 20% from 77.3 in December 2019 to 92.8 in December 2020. 11.0 FTE were added to the sales team and 2.2 FTE to the customer support team in order to manage and support the increase in forecast student enrolments.
Variable acquisition expenditure[1]
-
Total variable acquisition expenditure, which includes direct marketing expenses, Learning Advisor (sales) employment costs and commissions, increased by 42% from $2.5 million in HY2020 to $3.5 million in HY2021. This increased investment in acquisition expenditure delivered an increase of 159% in new students, from 2,407 in HY2020 to 6,223 in HY2021.
-
Variable CAC per student per new student decreased by 45% from $1,039 in HY2020 to $570 for HY2021 due to ongoing optimisation of media and online channels, process and performance improvements in the sales team and increased market awareness from brand activities.
Non-recurring items
-
Prior to the Group reorganisation on 3 December 2020, one of the subsidiaries received $50,000 in Covid related ATO cashflow boosts.
-
IPO costs of $1.2 million were incurred in HY2021 which are non-recurring. In addition to the $1.2 million of expensed costs, the Group also capitalised equity raising costs of $1.8 million related to the issue of 25.1 million new shares.
-
Share-based payment expense of $1.0 million relates to the issue of shares on IPO.
-
Prior to the IPO, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Quartet Education Holdings Pty Ltd, converted $20.5 million of CLNs to equity. On conversion, interest of $6.0 million was due and paid to CLN holders in November 2020.
-
$14.3 million of fair value loss relates to the accounting remeasurement at the date of 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.
Seasonality of operations
At the end of the first half (HY2021), the Group has delivered 42% of the annual forecast revenues, whilst only incurring 39% of the annual variable acquisition expenditure. Historically, the second half of the financial year generates a greater proportion of revenues than the first half, due to seasonality and the timing of the summer school holidays. For comparative purposes, in HY2020, first half revenues were 27% of total revenues for FY2020.

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 15); and
-
The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income reflects the results of the combined entities from 3 December 2020 to 31 December 2020.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of the Company as at 31 December 2020 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 exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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 financial 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 acquisition, 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 consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.
Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and noncontrolling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.
Operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.
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 is provided. Payments from customers are received prior to services being delivered. Fees received in advance are recognised as contract liabilities.
Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss as other income over the periods necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.
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.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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.
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.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.
The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.
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:
Office 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 their finite life of 5 years.
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 their finite life of 10 years.
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.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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.
Financial liabilities and equity
Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
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.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss ('FVTPL')
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss to the extent that they are not part of a designated hedging relationship. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability and is included in the ‘other gains and losses’ line item in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities measured subsequently at amortised cost
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs can include interest expense, finance charged in respect of finance leases, amortisation of discounts or premiums, ancillary costs relating to borrowings, and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.
Borrowing costs are expenses in the period in which they are incurred, except for borrowing costs incurred as part of the cost of the construction of a qualifying asset which are capitalised until the asset is ready for its intended use or sale.
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.
Defined contribution superannuation expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Share-based payments
Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options 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 either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the 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.
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.
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 shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to 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.
17
Cluey Ltd Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2020
==> picture [63 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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.
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, supply chain 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.
Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits, together with future tax planning strategies.
At 31 December 2020 no potential tax losses available to the Group have been recognised in the statement of financial position as the Group does not expect to be in a position to utilise these losses in the foreseeable future.
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.
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 First Interim Report reflects the one operating segment.

Note 14. Issued capital (continued)
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.
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.
Note 15. Group reorganisation reserve
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).
| Group reorganisation reserve | Group 31 Dec 2020 $ (101,915,032) |
|---|---|
Group reorganisation reserve
The reserve is used to account for historical capital reorganisations of the Group whereby the assets and liabilities of the acquired party are recorded at their previous book values and no goodwill is recognised (note 2). Any difference between the cost of the transaction, being ordinary shares issued at fair value, and the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities are recorded directly in this reserve.
Movements in reserves
Movements in the reserve during the current financial period are set out below:

Employee Incentive Plan
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.
As at 31 December 2020 no options had been granted under the Employee Incentive Plan.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report to the Members of Cluey Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Cluey Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprises the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, and the condensed consolidated interim income statement, the condensed consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated interim statement of cash flows and the condensed consolidated interim statement of changes in equity for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of the Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Half-year Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and 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 annual 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 review report.
Directors’ Responsibilities for the Half-year Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year 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 half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Half-year Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
