Chairman’s Report
Dear Shareholder
Adept Solution Limited’s (Adept or Company) first year as a financial services company brought with it large amount of activity bedding down the acquisition of Emerchants Limited ( emerchants ). As a very young and rapidly growing leader in the prepaid card industry in Australia, the focus was on tightening the organisation’s sales strategy, augmenting the sales and management team, and tightening business processes.
Mr Tom Cregan joined Adept in January 2012 and was appointed Chief Executive Officer in April and, given his depth of experience in the prepaid card industry, was able to lead the refinement of emerchants ’ sales strategy. With our greater strategic focus on commercial prepaid (reloadable) debit cards, we expect to be able to take advantage of a large and more profitable market segment, with fewer competitors possessing the card functionality that emerchants has to offer.
Adept was quite pleased to extend its close working relationship with a leading issuer of prepaid gift cards, Edge Loyalty Systems Pty Ltd, via the execution of a multi-year agreement. Edge has been a primary contributor of emerchants ’ revenue growth and this new agreement will underpin revenue levels, allowing our new focus on commercial prepaid to augment future revenue growth.
The effective execution of any strategy is dependent upon a strong stable of talent. We started at the very top, by right-sizing our Board of Directors and appointed three very seasoned business professionals, Mr Tony Adcock, a former PricewaterhouseCoopers partner, Mr David Liddy, former CEO of Bank of Queensland and Mr Peter Martin, former CEO of Rothschild Asset Management in Australia. A new Chief Information Officer, a new Chief Commercial Officer, additional business development personnel and business analysts have put your Company in a position to ensure the action plans in place are effectively executed.
rate bodes well for the future of the Company and is an important driver to our turning profitable in the future.
The Board has considered a number of legacy items on the statement of financial position. As a result, the remaining mining tenements from Australasia Consolidated were written off, given the change of business that was undertaken following the acquisition of emerchants . As required by accounting standards, the Board reviewed the value of goodwill, currently $10.8m. The Board considers the strategies and initiatives outlined in this report demonstrate the robust future of the Company and support the current value of goodwill.
Adept finished its first year with a successful capital raising, thereby strengthening its balance sheet for the foreseeable future, with a rights offering raising $1,412,364 and the placement of an additional $1,251,750.
Your Board and Management team thanks you for your continuing support in the prior year and we look forward to keeping you apprised of accomplishments and milestone achievements in the coming year.

Robert Browning Non-executive Chairman
24 September 2012
The most encouraging aspect of the past fiscal year was the consistent, strong growth in all key performance measures that underpin the ultimate profitability of the Company. Revenue generating transactions, stored value, new card activations and general revenue all grew at double or triple digit rates over the prior year. This sort of growth

Managing Director’s Report
The 2012 financial year has been one of transition for Adept, as it evolved from a mining company to a financial services company through the acquisition of emerchants .
Further to that, the original strategy was for Adept to act as a non-operating public holding company and to grow via the acquisition of other complementary businesses.
As part of a strategic review of the business undertaken in the middle of the year, the Board has endorsed a highly focused strategy of turning emerchants into the leading provider of re-loadable prepaid debit payment solutions into the commercial, government and not-forprofit segments. Prepaid products differentiate themselves from traditional payment products because funds are pre-loaded ahead of usage and the customer can control how, when and on what the funds can be used for, which is reflected in our mission statement:
==> picture [140 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
and in our Vision, which is to transform the commercial payment solutions landscape by inspiring enterprises to demand more control, more transparency and more flexibility over their funds, and to deliver our stakeholders sustainable financial success.
Non-reloadable (gift) revenues will remain an important part of our financials in the medium term, and we were pleased to announce in April a renewal of our exclusive agreement with Edge Loyalty Systems. The existing products we provide through this relationship, and new products that are in development, provide us with a solid financial foundation.
Whilst the majority of our revenues today are generated from non-reloadable (gift) cards, the
market opportunity for re-loadable products in Australia has been estimated at $16.2bn per annum. Importantly, re-loadable prepaid programs generate recurring revenues over multi-year contracts and provide the scale in our business model and to position ourselves for a leadership position in this segment, we have made significant investments in the second half of the year. Those investments included the recruitment of a new Executive team and other key employees, and increased investment in Information Technology, Sales and Marketing and Product Development.
The Executive team was enhanced with the recruitment of Mr James Ingham as our Chief Technology Officer. James has over 19 years’ experience in Information Systems and was formerly head of Information Technology for the Group Investment Division of QBE. In addition, Mr Richard Anderson joined the Company in May as Chief Commercial Officer, with responsibility for sales, marketing and client services, and brings with him several years of experience in the prepaid financial services market in the United States. Mr Bruce Stewart was promoted from Financial Controller of Emerchants Ltd to the Chief Financial Officer role in February 2012 and together with additional hires in Business Analytics, Business Development and Product Development, make up a strong and talented team.
While we have been “re-tooling” the Company with a focused strategy and a new team, the key metrics of the business have continued to perform well. As we generate revenues from a range of areas including transaction fees, monthly fees, set-up fees, interest and breakage, the four key metrics include:
6 ADEPT SOLUTIONS AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | 2012 ANNUAL REPORT
-
New Dollar Loads Total dollars loaded onto our prepaid platform (+113% on prior year)
-
Total Cards Issued How many cards are issued through the platform (+102% on prior year)
-
Transactions How many transactions are generated by those cards (+99% on prior year) and
-
Funds Under Management The dollars on
-
our platform that generate interest income (+83% on prior year)
That performance translated into revenue of $3.8m, up 80% on the prior year on a pro-forma basis assuming emerchants had been part of the Company for the entire period. Despite that performance, as a result of investments made during the year, the company generated negative EBITDA of $6.5m, which is clearly unacceptable and has reflected itself in our historical share price performance over the course of the year. As focused as we are on driving revenue growth and margin expansion, we will continue to look for opportunities to reduce expenses, conserve cash and bring forward our transition into positive cash flow and profitability.
Following a successful shareholder rights issue and private placement, both of which were fully subscribed, we have the strategy, team and funding in place, and we look forward to executing on the strategy and providing shareholders with updates of our progress during the year.
Yours sincerely,
Tom Cregan

Directors' Report
Dividends
No dividends were declared since the start of the financial year and the directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend in respect of the financial year.
Principal Activities
The principal activity of the entities within Adept Group during the year was the provision of payment services.
Review of operations
The full review of operations immediately precedes this Report.
Operating results for the year
The net result of operations for the year was a loss after income tax of $10,027,335 (2010: $5,156,286).
The loss incorporated a number of non-cash items (33% of the total expense base and 50% of the total loss), including the vesting expense of share-based payment expenses amounting to $1.1m on options awarded to executives and management in the FY11 year and $0.2m for options awarded in the current year.
Other factors contributing to the loss include certain significant one-off charges, namely:
-
The recruitment of a new leadership team ($0.45m);
-
The write down of mining tenements to nil book value as the Company is not undertaking significant operations regarding its remaining mining tenements, reflecting the fact that the focus and strategy of the Company is centred on payments solutions ($1.63m). The directors will continue to seek to achieve a suitable outcome in relation to these tenements. This charge included an amount of $0.4m relating to the sale of the Northern Territory mining tenement that the Company may receive in the FY14 year conditional upon a production decision being entered into by the acquirer, but was required to write off as it did not meet the recognition criteria as a contingent asset (refer Note 9);
-
The amortisation of finite life intangibles over a one-year period that arose on the acquisition of Emerchants ($1.09m);
-
Termination payment for outsourced administration services ($0.35m); and
Significant events after balance date
Pursuant to a Prospectus dated 18 June 2012, the Company undertook a renounceable rights issue entitlement offer of up to 15,693,083 new shares at an issue price of $0.09 each on the basis of 1 new share for every 4 shares held as at 27 June 2012 to raise approximately $1,412,377 (Rights Issue) and a placement of up to 16,666,666 new shares to investors at an issue price of $0.09 per new share to raise approximately $1,100,000 with the ability to accept an additional $400,000 in oversubscriptions (Placement) .
The Rights Issue was partially underwritten by some of the Directors and, together with this underwriting, the Rights Issue was fully subscribed and 15,692,942 fully paid shares were issued on 26 July 2012 at an issue price of $0.09 to raise a total of $1,412,364.
The Placement was fully subscribed with 13,908,328 fully paid ordinary shares issued at a price of $0.09 on 3 August 2012 based on the total proceeds received of $1,251,750 which comprised a placement of $1,100,000 and additional oversubscriptions of $151,750.
On 21 August 2012 the Board approved the issue to Executives and other staff members of 12,000,000 performance-based options to take up fully paid ordinary postconsolidation shares of the Company and the implementation of a short term incentive plan (STIP) available to all employees of the Company in order to incentivise and retain existing employees and to attract new employees to the business. The STIP is funded from a bonus pool calculated by any surplus achievement of the Board approved FY13 EBITDA Budget and is paid to employees as a maximum tiered percentage of their annual remuneration.
Except for the above there has not been any matter or circumstance that has arisen after balance date that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in future financial periods.
Likely developments and expected results
Disclosure of information regarding likely developments in the operations of the consolidated entity in future financial years and the expected results of those operations is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the consolidated entity. Therefore, this information has not been presented in this Report.

14 Adept Solutions Limited and Controlled Entities | For the year ended 30 June 2012
Directors' Report
Remuneration structure
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive remuneration is separate and distinct.
Non-executive Director remuneration
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.
The ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The latest determination was at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 22 July 2010 when shareholders approved an aggregate remuneration of $500,000 per year.
The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst directors is reviewed annually. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee considers advice from external shareholders, as well as the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process.
Each Non-executive Director receives a fee for being a Director of the Company. An additional fee is also paid to the chairman of each of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the Audit and Risk Management Committee. The payment of additional fees for serving as chairman on a Board committee recognises the additional time commitment required by the chairman of each committee.
Variable Remuneration
The Group had no performance-based remuneration component built into Director and executive remuneration packages in the current financial year.
On 21 August 2012 the Board approved the issue to Executives and other staff members of 12,000,000 performance-based options to take up fully paid ordinary postconsolidation shares of the Company and the implementation of a short term incentive plan (STIP) available to all employees of the Company in order to incentivise and retain existing employees and to attract new employees to the business.
The performance-based options will vest subject to the achievement of the Board approved FY15 Company EBITDA target and other administrative conditions. The FY15 targets were approved by the Board on 29 June 2012.
The STIP is funded from a bonus pool calculated by any surplus achievement of the Board approved FY13 EBITDA Budget and is paid to employees as a maximum tiered percentage of their annual remuneration. The FY13 Budget was approved by the Board on 29 June 2012.
Employment Contracts
Robert Browning (Non-executive Chairman)
Mr Robert Browning was asked to assume the role of Executive Chairman of the Company on 2 April 2012, following the appointment of Mr Tom Cregan as Chief Executive Officer.
Upon assuming the role of Executive Chairman, Mr Browning reduced his annual salary from $400,000 per annum to $200,000 per annum plus the statutory superannuation rate of 9%.
Senior manager and Executive Director remuneration
Remuneration consists of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration (comprising short-term and long-term incentive schemes).
Fixed Remuneration
Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

Directors' Report
Corporate Governance Statement
The Company is committed to implementing standards of corporate governance consistent with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s second edition Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (Recommendations). Where the Company’s corporate governance practices do not correlate with the Recommendations, the Company does not currently regard it as appropriate due to the nature and size of the Company’s operations and the Board’s reasoning for any departure is explained.
Set out below are the fundamental corporate governance practices of the Company.
Principle 1 – Lay Solid Foundations for Management and Oversight
Role of the Board
The Board’s role is to govern the Company and it has thereby established the functions reserved to the Board. The Board delegates to executive directors and senior executives the day-to-day management of the operations of the Company’s business. In governing the Company, the Directors must act in the best interests of the Company as a whole. Each member of the Board is committed to spending sufficient time to enable them to carry out their duties as a director of the Company.
delegations of the Board and the responsibility of the Board to oversee the activities of management in carrying out these delegated duties.
Performance Review/Evaluation
The process for reviewing the performance of senior executives is undertaken by the CEO/MD. The performance of senior executives is assessed by way of formal discussion. The performance of Executive Directors is reviewed annually against agreed performance criteria by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee together with external consultants as required.
The process for evaluating the performance of senior executives is set out in the Performance Evaluation Process which is available on the Company’s website (www.adeptsolutions.com.au) under “Corporate Governance”.
Responsibilities of the Board
In general, the Board is ultimately responsible for, and has the authority to determine, all matters relating to the policies, practices, management and operations of the Company. It is required to do all things that may be necessary to be done in order to carry out the objectives of the Company. The Board delegates authority to executive directors, senior executives and management to carry out delegated duties in support of the objectives of the Company.
The Board’s functions and the functions delegated to executive directors and senior executives are set out in the Board Charter which is available on the Company’s website (www. adeptsolutions.com.au) under “Corporate Governance”.
The Board holds regular meetings and meets periodically throughout the year as required. Directors’ attendance at meetings for the 2011-2012 financial year is set out in the Directors’ Report.
The Board appoints person(s) to perform the functions of a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and/or Managing Director (MD) with responsibility for the management of the Company in accordance with the directions and delegations of the Board. Senior executives may also be appointed to conduct these activities.
Principle 2 – Structure the Board to Add Value
The Board currently comprises 6 directors, the majority are independent Non-executive Directors. Mr Tom Cregan is an Executive Director and performs the role of Managing Director. Mr Robert Browning is currently a Non-executive Director, however he was an Executive Director for the year ended 30 June 2012.
Further details about the Directors including their skills, experience and terms in office at the date of this statement are set out in the Directors’ Report.
The Company recognises the importance of Non-executive and independent Directors and the external perspective and advice that they can offer. The Board is committed to recruiting such Directors when warranted by the scale and advancement of its operations. Determination of independence is made with reference to factors set out in the Board Charter available on the Company’s website (www.adeptsolutions.com.au) under “Corporate Governance”.
Given the size and nature of the Company’s operations, the Board feels the composition of the Board is appropriate at this stage.
It is the role of those appointed in management roles to manage the Company in accordance with the direction and

28 Adept Solutions Limited and Controlled Entities | For the year ended 30 June 2012
Notes
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Reporting entity
Adept Solutions Limited ( Company ), formerly known as Australasia Consolidated Limited until 29 June 2011 and Australasia Gold Limited until 27 July 2010, is a company incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The consolidated financial report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2012 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group or consolidated entity).
(b) Basis of preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations and complies with other requirements of the law.
The accounting policies detailed below have been consistently applied to all of the years presented unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Adept Solutions Limited and its subsidiaries.
The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis except where otherwise stated. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.
The Company is a listed public company, incorporated in Australia and operating in Australia. The entity’s principal activities are the provision of payment services.
(c) Adoption of new and revised standards and Changes in accounting policies on initial application of Accounting Standards
In the year ended 30 June 2012, the Group has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.
The following new and revised Standards and Interpretations have been adopted in the current year.
| Standards affecting presentation and disclosure | Standards affecting presentation and disclosure | |
|---|---|---|
| Amendments | The amendments (part of AASB 2010- | |
| to AASB 7 | 4 ‘Further Amendments to Australian | |
| ‘Financial | Accounting Standards arising from the | |
| Instruments: | Annual Improvements Project’) clarify the | |
| Disclosure’ | required level of disclosures about credit risk | |
| and collateral held and provide relief from | ||
| disclosures previously required regarding | ||
| negotiated loans. | ||
| Amendments | The amendments arising under AASB | |
| to AASB 101 | 2010-4 clarify that an entity may choose | |
| ‘Presentation | to present the required analysis of items of | |
| of Financial | other comprehensive income either in the | |
| Statements’ | statement of changes in equity or in the | |
| notes to the financial statements. | ||
| AASB 1054 ‘Australian |
AASB 1054 sets out the Australian-specific disclosures for entities that have adopted |
|
| Additional | Australian Accounting Standards. This | |
| Disclosures’ | Standard contains disclosure requirements | |
| that are in addition to IFRSs in areas such | ||
| as compliance with Australian Accounting | ||
| Standards, the nature of financial statements | ||
| (general purpose or special purpose), audit | ||
| fees, imputation (franking) credits and the | ||
| reconciliation of net operating cash flow to | ||
| profit (loss). | ||
| AASB 124 | AASB 124 (revised December 2009) has | |
| ‘Related Party | been revised on the following two aspects: | |
| Disclosures’ | a) AASB 124 (revised December 2009) has | |
| (revised | changed the definition of a related party | |
| December | and b) AASB 124 (revised December 2009) | |
| 2009) | introduces a partial exemption from the | |
| disclosure requirements for | ||
| government-related entities. |
Standards and Interpretations affecting the reported results or financial position
There are no new and revised Standards and Interpretations adopted in these financial statements affecting the reported results or financial position.
Standards and Interpretations adopted with no effect on the financial statements
It has been determined by the Group that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of any other new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.
29
Notes to Financial Statements
Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted
The Group has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2012. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change necessary to Group accounting policies.
(d) Statement of compliance
The financial report was authorised for issue on the date the Directors’ Report and Directors’ Declaration were signed.
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
(e) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Adept Solutions Limited (‘Company’ or ‘Parent Entity’) as at 30 June 2012 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Adept Solutions Limited and its subsidiaries are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the consolidated entity.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent accounting policies.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on
which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Control exists where the company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing when the Group controls another entity.
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.
(f) Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are
considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Impairment of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives
The Group determines whether goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are impaired on at least an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash generating units to which the goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are allocated. The assumptions used in this estimation of recoverable amount and the carrying amount of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are discussed in Note 27.
Share-based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black and Scholes model, using the assumptions detailed in Note 22.
Exploration and evaluation costs carried forward
In accordance with accounting policy Note 1 (ae), management determines when an area of interest should be abandoned. When a decision is made that an area of interest is not commercially viable, all costs that have been capitalised in respect of that area of interest are written off. In determining this, assumptions including the maintenance of title, ongoing expenditure and prospectivity are made. See Note 12 for disclosure of carrying values.
Breakage income
Breakage income or Termination fees are recognised over the life of non-reloadable cardholder accounts based on agreed terms and the residual percentage of the initial load amount that is expected to be left on a card upon expiry.
Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are currently not recognised in the financial statements but will be subject to ongoing review.
(g) Going Concern
Notwithstanding the fact that the Company incurred a Net Loss for the year of $10,027,335 and has Cash and cash equivalents on hand of $2,289,472 at the reporting date, the directors are of the opinion that the Company is a going concern for the following reasons:
The net loss for the year incorporates a significant amount of non-cash items such as share-based payments ($1,329,351),
30 Adept Solutions Limited and Controlled Entities | For the year ended 30 June 2012
Notes to Financial Statements
depreciation and amortisation expense ($2,032,355) and impairment of assets ($1,629,511) which comprises a substantial proportion of total expenses. The directors consider the company is able to raise additional capital if considered necessary such as occured subsequent to year end where the Company raised $2,664,114 of equity capital via an issue of ordinary shares at $0.09. The funds raised will be used to meet the ongoing working capital requirements of the Company.
The directors also anticipate that the Company will continue to grow its revenues strongly in FY13 and that the growth in revenues will significantly exceed the growth in costs in FY13. The directors believe the Company has sufficient funds to continue to operate as a going concern for the foreseeable future.
(h) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of Adept Solutions Limited.
(i) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
- (i) Sale of goods
Revenue is recognised when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied:
-
the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
-
the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
-
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
-
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and
-
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
(ii) Rendering of services
Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised by
reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of the contract is determined as follows:
-
Contract income and termination fees are recognised by reference to the expired service period of the contract at the end of the reporting period relative to the total service period of the contract;
-
Servicing and transaction fees are recognised by reference to the proportion of the total cost of providing the service for the product sold; and
-
Revenue from time and material contracts are recognised at the contractual rates as labour hours are delivered and direct expenses are incurred.
(iii) Interest income
- Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that assets’ net carrying amount on initial recognition.
(j) Government grants
Government grants are assistance by government in the form of transfers of resources to the Group in return for past or future compliance with certain conditions relating to the operating activities of the entity.
Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attached to them and the grant will be received. Government grants whose primary condition is to assist with exploration activities are recognised as deferred income in the Statement of Financial Position and recognised as income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a systematic basis when the related exploration and evaluation is written off.
Other government grants are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate on a systematic basis.
Government grants receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised as income in the period in which it becomes receivable.
(k) Leases
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in
31
Notes to Financial Statements
which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.
In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed
(l) Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary difference and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:
unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
-
when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
-
when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Tax consolidation legislation
-
when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of 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 profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
-
when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and
Adept Solutions Limited and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. Current and deferred tax amounts are accounted for in each individual entity as if each entity continued to act as a taxpayer on its own.
Adept Solutions Limited recognises both its own current and deferred tax amounts and those current tax liabilities, current tax assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax credits and unused tax losses which it has assumed from its controlled entities within the tax consolidated group.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts payable or receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group. Any difference between the amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.
32 Adept Solutions Limited and Controlled Entities | For the year ended 30 June 2012
Notes to Financial Statements
(m) Other taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
-
when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
-
receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. Contingent consideration is classified as either equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
(o) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cashgenerating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
(n) Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, including business combinations involving entities or business under common control, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the group. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisitiondate fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the group’s share of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).
An assessment is also made at each balance date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
(p) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject
33
Notes to Financial Statements
to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
(q) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any allowance for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within periods ranging from 15 days to 30 days.
Impairment of trade receivables is continually reviewed and those that are considered to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account is used when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms. Factors considered by the Group in making this determination include known significant financial difficulties of the debtor, review of financial information and significant delinquency in making contractual payments to the Group. The impairment allowance is set equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the receivable and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Where receivables are short-term discounting is not applied in determining the allowance.
The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account.
Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.
(r) Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale
disposal group) are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of the disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the statement of financial position. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the statement of financial position.
(s) Financial assets
Financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or availablefor-sale investments, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the Group commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in profit or loss.
(ii) Held-to-maturity investments
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of derecognition.
Non-current assets (including those that are part of a
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity when the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments intended to be held for an undefined period are not included in this classification. Investments that are intended to be held-to-maturity, such as bonds, are subsequently measured at amortised cost. This cost is computed as the amount initially recognised minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between the initially recognised amount and the maturity amount. This calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums and discounts. For investments carried at amortised cost, gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the
34 Adept Solutions Limited and Controlled Entities | For the year ended 30 June 2012
Notes to Financial Statements
investments are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.
If the Group were to sell other than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity financial assets, the whole category would be tainted and reclassified as available-for-sale.
(iii) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.
(iv) Available-for-sale investments
Available-for-sale investments are those
non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as any of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition available-forsale investments are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is recognised in profit or loss.
The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance date. For investments with no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions, reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models.
(t) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities
(i) Financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:
-
the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
-
the Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; or
-
the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either:
-
(a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
-
(b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration received that the Group could be required to repay.
When continuing involvement takes the form of a written and/ or purchased option (including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on the transferred asset, the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement is the amount of the transferred asset that the Group may repurchase, except that in the case of a written put option (including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on an asset measured at fair value, the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement is limited to the lower of the fair value of the transferred asset and the option exercise price.
(ii) Financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.
(u) Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses at each balance date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.
(i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced either directly or through use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss.
The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant
35
Notes to Financial Statements
or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment.
Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date.
(ii) Financial assets carried at cost
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value (because its fair value cannot be reliably measured), or on a derivative asset that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.
(iii) Available-for-sale investments
If there is objective evidence that an available-for-sale investment is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from equity to the statement of comprehensive income. Reversals of impairment losses for equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not recognised in profit. Reversals of impairment losses for debt instruments are reversed through profit or loss if the increase in an instrument's fair value can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss.
(v) Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. Similarly, when each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalisation.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:
methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.
(i) Impairment
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each balance date, with recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, recoverable amount is determined for the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset's value in use can be estimated to approximate fair value.
An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating units exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount.
For plant and equipment, impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the cost of sales line item.
(ii) Derecognition and disposal
An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.
(w) Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities.
Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation
36 Adept Solutions Limited and Controlled Entities | For the year ended 30 June 2012
Notes to Financial Statements
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units.
Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is so allocated:
-
represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes; and
-
is not larger than a segment based on either the Group’s primary or the Group’s secondary reporting format determined in accordance with AASB 8 Operating Segments.
Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable
amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units), to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. When goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) and an operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this manner is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not subsequently reversed.
(x) Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately
Intangible assets acquired separately are recorded at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. Amortisation is charged on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method is reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with any changes in these accounting estimates being accounted for on a prospective basis.
Internally generated intangible assets – research and development expenditure
Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period as incurred.
An intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated: The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
-
The intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
-
The ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
-
How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
-
The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete 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.
Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately.
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination.
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are identified and recognised separately from goodwill where they satisfy the definition of an intangible asset and their fair values can be measured reliably.
Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately.
The following useful lives are used in the calculation of amortisation:
| Restraint of trade | 12 months |
|---|---|
| Edge Contract | 12 months |
| Capitalised development | 5 years |
(y) Trade and other payables
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months.
(z) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
37
Notes to Financial Statements
When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.
Provisions are measured at the present value or management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability.
When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as an interest expense.
(aa) Employee leave benefits
(i) Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the balance date, They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.
(ii) Long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the balance date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and period of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the balance date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
(ab) Share-based payment transactions
Black-Scholes model, further details of which are given in Note 22.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Adept Solutions Limited (market conditions) if applicable.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant director or employee becomes fully entitled to the award (the vesting period).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each balance date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The statement of comprehensive income charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition.
If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the sharebased payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the director or employee, as measured at the date of modification.
If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.
Equity settled transactions:
The Group provides benefits to directors and employees (including senior executives) of the Group in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).
There are currently two plans in place to provide these benefits:
-
the Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP 1)
-
the Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP 2)
The cost of these equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a
The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.
(ac) 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. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a new business are not included in the cost of acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.
38 Adept Solutions Limited and Controlled Entities | For the year ended 30 June 2012
Notes to Financial Statements
(ad) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends), divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:
-
costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;
-
the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and
-
other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
(ae) Exploration and evaluation
Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied:
-
(i) the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and
-
(ii) at least one of the following conditions is also met:
-
(a) the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or
-
(b) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the balance date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.
Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified to development.
(af) Joint ventures
Interests in jointly controlled assets and operations are reported in the financial statements by including the Group’s share of assets employed in the joint ventures, the share of liabilities incurred in relation to the joint ventures and the share of any expenses incurred in relation to the joint ventures in their respective classification categories.
(ag) Parent entity financial information
The financial information for the parent entity, Adept Solutions Limited, disclosed in Note 33 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below.
(i) Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries and entities are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Adept Solutions Limited.
(ii) Share-based payments
The grant by the Company of options over its equity instruments to the employees of subsidiary undertakings in the Group is treated as a capital contribution to that subsidiary undertaking. The fair value of employee services received, measured by reference to the grant date fair value, is recognised over the vesting period as an increase to investment in subsidiary undertakings, with a corresponding credit to equity.
Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortisation of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated being no larger than the

Litigation
Claim by Globetrotter Group
Globetrotter Group has commenced legal proceedings in the District Court of Western Australia against emerchants for the amount of $378,406.87 (incorporating interest on the principal) in respect of management services fees provided to the Company by Globetrotter Group and a loan from Globetrotter Group to the Company. The dispute is related to the expected timing of payment to Globetrotter Group and whether such payment should be offset against the Company’s claims against Globetrotter Group in respect of warranties given by it to the Company under the Share Purchase Deed for the acquisition by the Company of shares in emerchants . Globetrotter Group’s claim is disputed by emerchants and interest has not been accounted for, as the principle was non-interest bearing.
Claim against Globetrotter Group and the Vendors
The Company has commenced legal proceedings in the Supreme Court of Western Australia against Globetrotter Group Pty Ltd, Emerchants Holdings Limited, John Richard Battley, Richard Thomas Ferguson and Anthony Thomas Ferguson, in

The option reserve arises on the grant and/or issue of share options. Amounts are transferred out of the reserve to accumulated losses when the options lapse or expire. When options are exercised, amounts carried in the reserve related to those particular options are dealt with based on their origination. If cash-related those amounts may be transferred out of the reserve to issued capital. If not cash-related the amounts are transferred out of the reserve to accumulated losses.
NOTE 21 SHARE OPTION PLANS

The Group has an equity-based compensation plan for employees which has been in existence since December 2006. In accordance with the provisions of ESOP 1, as approved by shareholders at an Annual General Meeting, directors may issue options to purchase shares in the Company to employees at an issue price determined by the market price of ordinary shares at the time the option is granted. No directors participate in ESOP 1.

The share options are not listed, carry no rights to dividends and no voting rights.
(b) Employee Share Option Plan (2) (“ESOP 2”)

ESOP 2 is open to any person who is a full-time or permanent part-time employee or Director of the Company or a related body corporate of the Company. Options may not be granted to a Director or his or her associates under ESOP 2 unless approval of the grant is given by shareholders in general meeting in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules.
The Board has broad discretion under ESOP 2, including (without limitation) as to:
-

NOTE 22 SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
The fair value of equity-settled share options is estimated as at the date of grant using the Black and Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted.
| Dividend yield (%) Expected volatility (%) Risk-free interest rate (%) Expected life of option (years) Exercise price Grant date share price |

The expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. No other features of options granted were incorporated into the measurement of fair value.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the financial year ended 30 June 2012, the acquired business contributed $3,560,728 of revenue and $2,758,952 of the net loss before tax to the group.
The accounting for the acquisition of emerchants has been finalised at the end of the reporting period and all the necessary market valuations and other calculations have been finalised and the fair value of the intangibles, associated deferred tax liabilities and goodwill above reflect the directors’ assessment of the fair value of the intangibles.
Acquisition related costs of $137,647 (30 June 2011: $1,667,034) are included in other expenses in the statement of comprehensive income. Directly attributable costs of raising equity have been included as a deduction from equity.
Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Group must issue the former owners of emerchants additional shares based upon the achievement of:
-
a level of at least $1,500,000 in net assets at 30 June 2011. A further 1,000,000 Shares in Adept Solutions Limited may have been issued to the emerchants vendors subject to the successful achievement of the net assets. This was not achieved and consequently no value has been ascribed to this in the purchase price allocation;
-
annual gross sales revenue of $7,000,000 for the 12 month period ending 30 June 2012. Adept Solutions Limited will issue a further 3,000,000 Deferred Consideration Shares to the emerchants vendors in their Respective Proportions. In the event emerchants does not achieve the revenue levels, the Shares may still be issued to the emerchants vendors at Adept Solutions Limited’s absolute discretion. The achievement of these targets has not been acheived and consequently no value is ascribed to this in the purchase price allocation above; and
-
specified net profit before tax targets over the three financial years commencing on 1 July 2011 as set out in the tables below, may entitle the emerchants vendors to a further 15,000,000 Shares. The achievement of these targets is not considered probable and consequently no value is ascribed to this in the purchase price allocation above.

No impairment loss was recognised for continuing operations in the 2012 financial year.
Goodwill acquired through business combinations have been allocated to an individual cash generating unit, emerchants , for impairment testing.
The recoverable amount of the emerchants cash generating unit has been determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections based on financial forecasts approved by senior management and the Directors covering a 5 year period.
The discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 14.4%.

Notes to Financial Statements
Key assumptions used in value in use calculations for emerchants for 30 June 2012
The following describes each key assumption on which management has based its cash flow projections when determining the value in use of emerchants.
-
Forecast revenues – the basis used to determine the value assigned to the forecast revenues is the volume growth in emerchants four key metrics and the forecasted sales price of each unit.
-
The volume growth in the key metrics is determined by a combination of historical growth rates and the expected mix of products that will be offered each year. The key growth assumptions are as follows:
-
New funds loaded onto accounts compound annual growth rate FY13 – FY17: 43% (FY09 – FY12: 142%).
-
New accounts activated compound annual growth rate FY13 – FY17: 42% (FY09 – FY12: 142%).
-
Funds under management compound annual growth rate FY13 – FY17: 45% (FY09 – FY12: 103%).
-
Revenue generating transactions compound annual growth rate FY13 – FY17: 52% (FY09 – FY12: 105%).
• Values assigned to the sale price of each unit reflect past experience with relevant amendments for new product offerings. Interest rates are based on the yield less 50 basis points on the Reserve Bank of Australia overnight lending rate at the beginning of the budgeted year and less 100 basis points from 1 July 2013 onwards.
-
Senior management believes the growth rate and unit prices are justified based on historical performance and the introduction of new product offerings.
-
Forecast gross margins – the basis used to determine the value assigned to the forecasted gross margins is the average gross margins achieved in FY12, decreased for expected margin erosion. Thus, values assigned to gross margins reflect past experience, with some provision for margin erosion based on increased sales volumes. This has been estimated as a 4% decline in FY13 and 1% decline thereafter.
Impact of possible changes in key assumptions
If the compound annual growth rate from FY13 – FY17 of the four key metrics used in the value in use calculation for emerchants had been 50% lower than management’s estimates at 30 June 2012, the group would still not be required to recognise an impairment charge.
If the estimated cost of capital used in determining the pre-tax discount rate for emerchants had been 50% higher than management’s estimates, the group would still not be required to recognise an impairment charge.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 32 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Overview
This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to credit, liquidity and market risks, its objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital.
The Group does not use any form of derivatives as it is not at a level of exposure that requires the use of derivatives to hedge its exposure. Exposure limits are reviewed by management on a continuous basis. The Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. Management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through regular reviews of the risks.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and investment securities. At the balance date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by only investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have an acceptable credit rating.
Trade and other receivables
The Group where necessary establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of other receivables and investments. Management does not expect any counter party to fail to meet its obligations.
Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:
| Cash and cash equivalents Other receivables |
Consolidated |
|---|---|
| Company Carrying amount | |
| 2012 2011 |
|
| 2,289,637 10,317,609 |
|
| 680,187 572,551 |
Impairment Losses
None of the Group’s other receivables are past due (2011: nil).
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves from funds raised in the market and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. The Group does not have any external borrowings.

Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
Currency Risk
The Company is not exposed to currency risk and at balance date the Group holds no financial assets or liabilities which are exposed to foreign currency risk.
Interest Rate Risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk (primarily on its cash and cash equivalents), which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in the market interest rates on interest-bearing financial instruments. The Company does not use derivatives to mitigate these exposures.
The Group adopts a policy of ensuring that as far as possible it maintains excess cash and cash equivalents in short term deposit at interest rates maturing over 90 day rolling periods.
Profile
At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments was:
| Variable rate instruments Financial assets – cash and cash equivalents |
Consolidated |
|---|---|
| Carrying amount | |
| 2012 2011 |
|
| 2,289,472 10,317,609 |
Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments
The Group does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or through equity, therefore a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss or equity.
Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments
A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased/(decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2011.

Capital Management
Capital is defined as the equity of the Group.
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, so as to maintain a strong capital base sufficient to maintain future working capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Group’s focus has been to raise sufficient funds through equity to continue its operations. The Group monitors capital on an ongoing basis. The Group encourages employees to be shareholders through share option plans.
There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the year. Risk management policies and procedures are established with regular monitoring and reporting.
The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

NOTE 34 EVENTS AFTER BALANCE DATE
Pursuant to a Prospectus dated 18 June 2012, the Company undertook a renounceable rights issue entitlement offer of up to 15,693,083 new shares at an issue price of $0.09 each on the basis of 1 new share for every 4 shares held as at 27 June 2012 to raise approximately $1,412,377 (Rights Issue) and a placement of up to 12,222,222 new shares to investors at an issue price of $0.09 per new share to raise approximately $1,100,000 with the ability to accept an additional $400,000 in oversubscriptions (Placement).
The Rights Issue was partially underwritten by some of the Directors and, together with this underwriting, the Rights Issue was fully subscribed and 15,692,942 fully paid shares were issued on 26 July 2012 at an issue price of $0.09 to raise a total of $1,412,364.
