FRONTIER DIGITAL VENTURES LIMITED ABN 25 609 183 959 AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 31 December 2020

Frontier Digital Ventures Limited and Controlled Entities Chairman’s Letter

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Fellow Shareholders,

Calendar year 2020 was a milestone year for Frontier Digital Ventures (FDV) as we advanced our strategy of becoming the leading global operator of online marketplace businesses in emerging markets. Our focus during the year has been on creating long-term shareholder value by ensuring the continuation of strong results from our portfolio companies, despite the once-ina-century global healthcare pandemic. We have also been opportunistically strengthening our long-term growth platform by targeting attractive new acquisition opportunities.

Pleasingly, FDV was in an enviable position at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our first priority was to make sure that our operating companies both weathered the various impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and emerged stronger once those impacts passed. It was clear we needed to prepare for the worst-case outcome by making sure our operating companies were operating as efficiently as possible. That strategy was effective and we witnessed a strong revenue recovery in most of our investee companies as the year advanced. We continue to closely monitor and assess the COVID-19 pandemic, which is still front-of-mind in certain jurisdictions in which our operating companies operate. In an economic sense in calendar year 2020 FDV’s percentage share of revenue of A$23.7m was the same as the 2019 result, although there was a maiden full year profit at a portfolio level.

We formed a strong view early in the COVID-19 pandemic that the challenging operating environment would lead to compelling acquisition opportunities. This became a reality during the second half of the year as we made a number of investments to position FDV for strong growth over the coming years. During 2020 FDV invested A$57.8m and acquired 100% of the issued capital of:

  • Fincaraíz.com, the leading real estate classifieds portal in Colombia;

  • Avito.ma, the leading general classifieds business in Morocco; and

  • Tayara.tn, the leading general classified business in Tunisia.

We have conducted extensive strategic reviews of each of these companies in the post completion period, and, where necessary, established new operational structures and implemented best-practice online classified strategies. These acquisitions provide an exciting opportunity to extend FDV’s market leadership across the LATAM and MENA regions and materially enhance FDV’s growth trajectory.

2020 was also a busy year in relation to corporate activity within our existing portfolio. A continuing optimisation of our portfolio during the year included the following activities completed or substantially completed during 2020:

  • the sale of 20% Propzy shareholding for A$7m;

  • an increased shareholding in iMyanmarhouse to over 50%;

  • an increased shareholding in LankaPropertyWeb to over 50%;

  • the combination of Encuentra24 and OLX group’s Central American platform under the Encuentra24 brand; and

  • a partnership between InfoCasas and AoCubo a digital real estate platform in Brazil.

I should also note the post-balance date increased shareholding in Moteur to 100%, and purchase for A$24.5m of 100% of the issued capital of Yapo.cl, the leading general classifieds business in Chile. Although the agreement to purchase the newest member of our portfolio was not signed until February 2021, negotiations commenced in 2020. This strategic acquisition further strengthens our market position in Latin America through entry into a new market, complementing existing market positions held by Fincaraíz, InfoCasas and Encuentra24.

Another post-balance date development relates to the February 2021 military coup in Myanmar which overthrew the elected civilian government and left the country’s military in charge. FDV-controlled entities iMyanmarhouse and CarsDB have been affected by the coup, with revenue for both companies materially lower than budget in the first quarter. More detailed information on the financial impact and potential impairment charges is provided in the following financial report, noting these companies represented less than 5% of FDV’s percentage share of revenue in 2020, and this number will fall further given the new acquisitions. Although there are plans by both companies to resume trading in the near future, the situation remains highly uncertain and FDV continues to assess and monitor the situation closely.

Frontier Digital Ventures Limited and Controlled Entities Chairman’s Letter

FDV’s balance sheet was strengthened considerably during the 2020 year by way of:

  • a strategic placement to institutional investors in North America of A$6.5m in July; and

  • a A$99m institutional placement and entitlement offer to fund our new acquisitions in October.

Your Board of Directors is pleased with FDV’s achievements during 2020, a milestone year, and the share price performance has been positive, with our shares almost doubling over the year. Inclusion in the All Ordinaries Index and S&P/ASX All Technology Index also reflects our growing profile and reputation in the investment community. We are excited about the contributions that Fincaraíz, Avito, Tayara and Yapo will make to our portfolio in the year ahead.

I would like to thank Shaun and his hard-working management team on behalf of the Board of Directors for all their efforts during what was a particularly challenging, and extremely busy, 2020. Finally, but perhaps most importantly, your Board of Directors would like to thank our shareholders for their continued support as we continue to successfully execute on our longterm vision.

Yours faithfully,

Review of Operations

A detailed review of operations and results of those operations will be set out in the Annual Report. A summary of the Group’s performance is below.

Due to the nature of Frontier’s portfolio, there is a difference between the “economic interest” in investments and the financial performance reported in the consolidated financial statements. At the year end, the portfolio consisted of twelve investments accounted for as Controlled Entities on a Consolidated basis and three investments reported as Associates under the equity method in accordance with AASB 128.

On a Consolidated basis, the revenues from continuing operations of Controlled Entities in the Group grew by $5,481,287 (36%) from $15,345,784 in FY2019 to $20,827,071 in FY2020.

Frontier Digital Ventures Limited and Controlled Entities Directors’ Report

Directors’ Report (cont’d)

Review of Operations (cont’d)

In February 2020, the Group disposed of its entire shareholdings in Propzy, an associate, for a cash consideration of US$4,660,000 (AUD equivalent $6,905,654). The sale price represents a ~300% return to FDV‘s shareholders in ~2.5 years and is the first material monetisation event in FDV‘s history.

During the year, the Group acquired 100% of the issued capital of Fincaraiz, Avito and Tayara from Adevinta (Note 24). Avito and Tayara, the leading general classifieds portals in Morocco and Tunisia respectively, were acquired for the total consideration of EUR 15,330,555 (AUD equivalent $25,017,252). Fincaraiz, the leading online property portal in Colombia, was acquired for US$23,653,010 (AUD equivalent $32,746,795). The acquisitions are expected to make a significant contribution to revenue on an FDV ownership basis and increase scale and diversification across key geographies and verticals.

The Group also increased its equity interest in two operating companies, iMyanmarhouse and LankaPropertyWeb to 52.6% and 53.0% respectively. These investments are consistent with FDV’s desire to increase its ownership of the best operating companies in its portfolio.

Additionally, there was a number of key operational achievements across the portfolio during the year:

  • In July 2020, Encuentra24 and OLX Group‘s Central American online classifieds platforms entered into an agreement to combine under the Encuentra24 brand. The combined business span 6 countries, with Encuentra24’s growth profile to benefit from a stronger brand position across more markets.

  • In September 2020, InfoCasas entered into a partnership agreement with AoCubo, a rapidly growing digital real estate brokerage platform in Brazil, to provide technology and services to facilitate expansion. In exchange, InfoCasas received an option to acquire up to 20% shareholding in AoCubo based on its current valuation. The partnership represents a compelling opportunity for InfoCasas to expand intro Brazil, through a structure that provides an attractive risk-return profile for its shareholders.

Accounting control over subsidiaries in which the Group holds a minority interest is achieved as a result of the Group’s absolute and unfettered discretion over operational matters, significant to the Group’s ability to direct the business activities of the investments.

The unrealised currency exchange loss of $10,274,167 is primarily due to the intercompany loan between FDV AU (functional currency in AUD) and FDV SG (functional currency in USD) extended to the intermediate holding company to make investments, noting this does not impact the trading performance of the company.

Most acquisitions are denominated in USD and USD is the functional currency of the intermediate holding company of the Group as well as a number of subsidiaries. The Group held 24% (2019: 48%) of its cash and Term Deposit balances in USD denominated accounts at the year end. Since the Group reports its financial results in AUD, it carries currency reporting risks. This is reflected in the unrealised currency exchange loss of $10,274,167 reported in the current period (2019: unrealised currency exchange gains of $100,570).

Portfolio of Operating Entities

Economic Share Basis

An alternativereflection of the Group’s performance and contribution to shareholder wealth is the cumulative sum of the Group’s proportionate share of the Operating Entities, measuring the performance of each investments on an economic share basis, regardless of control and the accounting treatment applied.

On an economic share basis, below is a summary of Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA since FY2016 for the full portfolio of Operating Entities:

100% Basis

While a review of performance on an economic share basis is the best indicator of shareholder wealth through a valuation of the sum of parts, the best measure of underlying performances of the Operating Entities is through a review of performances on a 100% basis.

Business Strategies & Future Developments (cont’d)

Since its IPO in 2016, Frontier has consistently executed on its goal to increase ownership levels of proven businesses.

COVID-19 Impact

Since March 2020 the Group’s performance has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily as a result of the economic disruption and government restrictions.

The Group has observed a high correlation between the timing and the duration of the temporary lockdowns and economic activity. These restrictions have diminished or even halted some form of economic activities and in response the Group responded rapidly by reviewing and reducing expenditure.

Despite the COVID-19 headwinds, the Group has demonstrated its resilience, underpinned by diligent cost management. Unfortunately, the impact of the pandemic over the countries where the Group operate has resulted in an unrealised foreign exchange loss of $10,274,167 (2019: $100,570). In turn, this has deteriorated the Group’s operating loss from continuing operations increasing to $19,688,065 (2019: $7,651,391).

The Group has reviewed the Expected Credit Loss (“ECL”) provisioning and assessed the need for impairment on trade receivables. Consequently, an increase in provision for ECL (also refer to Note 10 for reconciliation) amounting to $7,054,809 (2019: $379,985) is recognised in this financial period. No impairment of assets and goodwill are considered necessary.

Events subsequent to reporting date

Myanmar Political Situation

On 1 February 2021, Myanmar’s military staged a coup and overthrew the elected civilian government. The military is now in charge and has declared a year-long state of emergency with political power transferred to Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services. There has been numerous deadly street protests since and the military has imposed restrictions, including curfew and ban to gatherings. The Group’s operations in Myanmar impacted are the FDV controlled entities iMyanmarhouse and CarsDB.

iMyanmarhouse

Operations are located in the centre of the capital Yangon and have been substantially affected by the coup. There have been limited communications with the Group since February due to the military restrictions over phone lines and the internet. Management and staff have not been able to get back to work due to closure of roads leading to their office and other restrictions. The Group holds 52.63% of the entity’s share capital.

The Group lost control (as defined under Accounting Standards) of iMyanmarhouse on or about 1 February 2021 as a result of the military coup and the impact of that on the Group’s ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the Group’s returns. From that date the Group ceased to consolidate the results and the assets and liabilities of that entity. The Group’s loss on deconsolidation of this entity is $2,400,044 as set out in Note 33. The Group has not received any consideration in connection with the loss of control.

Management will continue to explore options to recommence control of iMyanmarhouse. If control is regained at a future point, consolidation of the entity will recommence.

CarsDB

Operations are outside the coup affected area however the future impacts, if any, remains unknown. CarsDB continues to submit financial information to the Group and channels of communication are open. The Group holds 64.81% of the entity’s share capital and despite this post year end event, Management believes that they continue to exercise control over this entity.

The impact of the coup may result in negative impacts on financial performance which may impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. At the date of this report it is not possible to quantify the effects of these possible changes.

If the current political situation does impact Management’s ability to control CarsDB, it is possible that the Group will also cease to consolidate this entity due to a loss of control (as defined under Accounting Standards).

The Group will continue to assess and monitor the situation closely.

COVID-19

The Group will continue to assess and monitor the COVID-19 situation closely as well as the measures imposed by the Governments of the respective countries where the Group operates. Although the duration and ultimate impact COVID-19 will have on world economies remain unknown, the Group’s and its operating businesses are well capitalised and are in a strong position to navigate the uncertainty 2020 has presented to businesses worldwide.

Indemnification of officers

The Company has indemnified each Director of the Group, the Company Secretary and previous Directors and Secretaries (Officers) against all liabilities or loss (other than to the Company or a related body corporate) that may arise from their position as Officers of the Company and its controlled entities, except where the liability arises out of conduct involving a breach of duties or negligence, or where indemnification is otherwise not permitted under the Corporations Act. The indemnity stipulates that the Company will meet the full amount of any such liabilities, including costs and expenses, and covers a period of seven years after ceasing to be an Officer of the Company.

The Company has also indemnified the current and previous Directors of its controlled entities and certain members of the Company’s senior management for all liabilities and loss (other than to the Company or a related body corporate) that may arise from their position, except where the liability arises out of conduct involving a breach of duties or negligence, or where indemnification is otherwise not permitted under the Corporations Act.

The Company has executed deeds of indemnity with each of the Non-Executive Directors.

Indemnification of auditors

To the extent permitted by law, the Company has agreed to indemnify its auditors, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, as part of the terms of its audit engagement agreement against claims by third parties arising from the audit (for an unspecified amount). No payment has been made to indemnify Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu during or since the financial year.

Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance

The Company has paid insurance premiums for one year’s cover in respect of Directors’ and Officers’ liability insurance contracts, for Officers of the Company and of its controlled entities. The insurance cover is on standard industry terms and provides cover for loss and liability for wrongful acts in relation to the relevant person’s role as an Officer, except that cover is not provided for loss in relation to Officers gaining any profit or advantage to which they were not legally entitled, or Officers committing any criminal, dishonest, fraudulent or malicious act or omission, or any knowing or wilful violation of any statute or regulation.

The insurance does not provide cover for the independent auditors of the Company or of a related body corporate of the Company.

In accordance with usual commercial practice, the insurance contract prohibits disclosure of details of the nature of the liabilities covered by the insurance, the limit of indemnity and the amount of the premium paid under the contract.

Advisers

External specialist remuneration advice is sought on an as-needs basis in respect of remuneration arrangements for NonExecutive Directors of the Board and key management personnel of the Group. General reward advice is sought on an ad hoc basis. No external reward advice was received during the financial year in respect of executive rights (2019: Nil).

Reward policy

The Company has an established policy for determining the nature and amount of emoluments of Board members and key management personnel of the Company to align remuneration with the performance of the Group. The remuneration structure for the key management personnel seeks to emphasise payment for results.

Reward philosophy

The Company’s overall philosophy is to manage the remuneration to:

  • create an environment that will attract top talent, and where people can be motivated with energy and passion to deliver superior performance;

  • recognise capabilities and promote opportunities for career and professional development;

  • provide rewards, benefits and conditions that are competitive within the markets in which the Group operates; and

  • provide fair and consistent rewards across the Group, which support corporate principles.

The Company has a policy of ensuring that at least part of the remuneration of key management personnel is based on the performance of the Company. Key management personnel are compensated with fixed remuneration and “at risk” remuneration based on revenue and earnings targets.

Statutory performance indicators and shareholder wealth

The Group’s remuneration includes an ‘at risk’ element of performance incentive with entitlement to incentives contingent upon the achievement of pre-determined revenue and operating expense targets by investments across the entire portfolio. This component of the remuneration structure will increase as a percentage of total executive remuneration as employee Share Rights diminish over time.

The consolidated financial statements report significant growth during the year with consolidated revenues from continuing operations increasing by 36% and corresponding EBITDA losses continuing to narrow, falling from 29% to 19%.

As noted in the Directors’ Report, due the combination of Controlled Entities and Associate companies in the Frontier portfolio, the most appropriate view of Group performance and the effect on shareholder wealth is an assessment of the Operating Entities on an economic share basis.

On an economic share basis, full portfolio revenues have grown by nil % with EBITDA losses improving from 10% loss to a EBITDA gain of 3% during the year.

Frontier Digital Ventures Limited and Controlled Entities Remuneration Report

Remuneration Report (cont’d)

Key Management Personnel and Executive Director Remuneration

The Company aims to reward key management personnel with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company and:

  • Reward key management personnel for achievement of pre-determined key performance indicators;

  • Link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Company; and

  • Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

The Remuneration for key management personnel and staff includes an annual review using a formal performance appraisal process. The Remuneration Committee recommends to the Board the level of fixed remuneration for the CEO each year based on his performance.

The remuneration structure is in two parts:

  • Fixed remuneration; and

  • Variable remuneration

Fixed remuneration

The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and is competitive in the market. Fixed remuneration comprises of payroll salary, superannuation and other benefits.

Variable Remuneration

Comprises a short term incentive plan and a long term incentive plan.

  • Short term incentive plan (STI)

Short term incentives are used to reward performance on a year by year basis. The principal performance indicator of the short term incentive plan will be the financial performance of the Operating Entities within the Group, including both controlled entities and associate companies, during the year. The percentage and threshold level can differ for each individual and will be reviewed each year. These financial performance targets must be met in order to trigger payments to key management personnel under the STI. Payments will be made in the form of cash and shares. Key employees of Frontier will be eligible to participate in the STI program by invitation from the Board.

  • Long term incentive plan (LTI)

Frontier established a long term incentive plan called the Frontier Digital Ventures Limited Rights Plan (“Rights Plan”) designed to align the interests of employees with the interests of Shareholders by providing an opportunity for employees to receive an equity interest in Frontier. The last vest and exercise of the Share Rights under this Rights Plan occurred on 2 July 2019. A new Long Term Incentive Plan has since been introduced, called the Frontier Digital Ventures Limited Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTI Plan”).

These long term incentive plans are part of the Company’s remuneration strategy and are designed to align the interests of management and shareholders and assist Frontier in the attraction, motivation and retention of executives. In particular, the plans are designed to provide relevant executives with an incentive for future performance, with conditions of vesting and exercise of performance rights under the respective plans, encouraging those executives to remain with the Company and contribute to the future performance of the Company. Employees will be eligible to participate in these plans by invitation from the Board.

The adoption of the LTI Plan was approved at the Annual General Meeting of the shareholders of the Company on 24 May 2019.

Frontier Digital Ventures Limited and Controlled Entities Notes to the Financial Statements

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)

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

a) Principles of consolidation and equity accounting

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Frontier Digital Ventures Limited, the Company, and its subsidiaries (referred to as the “Group” in these financial statements). Control is achieved where the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its investment with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through it through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if, and only if, the Group has:

  • Power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);

  • Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from the involvement with the investee; and

  • The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

  • (i) Subsidiaries

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

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the group (note 2(b)). Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and balance sheet respectively.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances, transactions, unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends have been eliminated in full. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.

  • (ii) Associates

Associates are all entities over which the group has significant influence but not control or joint control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, see Note 16, after initially being recognised at cost.

  • (iii) Equity method

Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the group’s share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint ventures are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.

30

Frontier Digital Ventures Limited and Controlled Entities Notes to the Financial Statements

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)

a) Principles of consolidation and equity accounting (cont’d)

  • (iii) Equity method (cont’d)

Goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment individually. Instead, the entire carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment as a single asset when there is objective evidence of impairment.

When the group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.

The carrying amount of equity-accounted investments is tested for impairment in accordance with the policy described in see Note 2(k).

  • (iv) Changes in ownership interests

The group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of the Company.

When the group ceases to consolidate or equity account for an investment because of a loss of control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as a joint venture, associate or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

b) Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values (at the date of exchange) of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisitionrelated costs are recognised in the income statement as incurred.

Where applicable, the consideration for the acquisition includes any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement are measured at the acquisition date fair value and any adjustments to the fair value are recognised in the income statement.

Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held interests in the acquired entity are remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date the Group attains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss, where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.

The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under AASB 3 are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see below), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date.

The measurement period is the period from the date of acquisition to the date the Group obtains complete information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date – and is subject to a maximum of one year.

c) Foreign currency translation

  • (i) Functional and presentation currency

  • Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

31

Frontier Digital Ventures Limited and Controlled Entities Notes to the Financial Statements

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)

c) Foreign currency translation (cont’d)

  • (ii) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss on a net basis within other income or other expenses.

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss.

(iii) Group companies

The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the reporting date;

  • income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and

  • all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.

d) Revenue recognition

The Group recognises revenue from the following major sources:

  • Classified subscription revenue; and

  • Transaction commission revenue.

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group is entitled in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control of a product or service to a customer.

Classified subscription revenue

The Group provides classified subscription services that provide customers the ability to publish advertisements for sale items on websites operated by the Group over a specific term. Such services are recognised as a performance obligation satisfied over time. Revenue is recognised for these subscription services is recognized uniformly over the term of the contract. Payment for classified subscription services are usually received upfront and deferred over the term of the contract. Amounts deferred are reported as “Billings in advance” in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Transaction commission revenue

The Group receives transaction revenue for services provided to customers in order to secure a sale of their asset. The performance obligation is recognized at the point in time that the transaction has been completed and the asset’s ownership has transferred from the customer to a third party. Completed transactions cannot be cancelled and are non-refundable. Payment is usually received after the services are completed.

Amounts received on transaction commission revenue is recognised on a net basis as the Group acts as an agent to these transactions.

The disaggregation of revenue is presented in the segment note (Note 4) which presents operations by website and geographic region (disclosed in Notes 16 and 17) which is considered to best reflect the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows affected by economic factors. Disaggregation by recognition over time or at a point in time has been considered immaterial based on the average term of the Group’s contracts.

32

Frontier Digital Ventures Limited and Controlled Entities Notes to the Financial Statements

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)

e) Employee benefits

A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will be required, and they are capable of being measured reliably. Amounts expected to be paid under short term incentive plans are recognised if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay the amount as a result of past service provided by employees.

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

Share-based payments

The fair value of share rights granted to employees is recognised as an employee benefit expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the rights granted, which excludes the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of rights that are expected to vest which are revised at the end of each reporting period. The impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and the expense recognised over the life of the plan.

f) Financial instruments

Recognition and Derecognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

Financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

Classification of Financial assets

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at amortised cost:

  • The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows

  • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI):

  • The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets

  • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The Group does not have any debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI).

By default, all other financial assets are measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

Despite the foregoing, the entity may make the following irrevocable election / designation at initial recognition of a financial asset:

  • The entity may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in fair value of an equity investment in other comprehensive income if certain criteria are met; and

  • The entity may irrevocably designate a debt investment that meets the amortised cost or FVTOCI criteria as measured at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch.

Initial measurement of financial assets

Financial assets are classified according to their business model and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows. Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs.

33

Frontier Digital Ventures Limited and Controlled Entities Notes to the Financial Statements

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)

f) Financial instruments (cont’d)

Subsequent measurement of financial assets

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the following four categories:

  • Financial assets at amortised cost

  • Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

  • Equity instruments at FVTOCI

  • Financial assets at FVTPL

  • (i) Amortised cost and effective interest method The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period.

  • (ii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any fair value gains or losses recognised in profit or loss to the extent they are not part of a designated hedging relationship. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss includes any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset.

Impairment of financial assets

The entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on investments in debt instruments that are measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI, lease receivables, trade receivables and contract assets, as well as on financial guarantee contracts. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.

Trade and other receivables and contract assets

The Company makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables as well as contract assets and records the loss allowance at the amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. In using this practical expedient, the Company uses its historical experience, external indicators and forwardlooking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss to the extent that they are not part of a designated hedging relationship. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability.

g) Disposal groups held for sale and discontinued operations

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, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets and investment property that are carried at fair value and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement.

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 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 a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet.

34

Frontier Digital Ventures Limited and Controlled Entities Notes to the Financial Statements

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)

g) Disposal groups held for sale and discontinued operations (cont’d)

  • A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of single coordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view of resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the statement of profit or loss.

h) Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item. In the event that settlement of all or part of the purchase consideration is deferred, cost is determined by discounting the amounts payable in the future to their present value as at the date of acquisition.

Depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment. Depreciation is calculated using either straight line or diminishing value based on the assessed appropriateness of each method for each entity within the Company. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the period of the lease or estimated useful life, whichever is the shorter. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes recognised on a prospective basis.

The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation on a straight line basis:

Buildings
Computer equipment
Leasehold improvements
Motor vehicles
Office equipment, furniture & fittings
Plant and machinery
Useful lives
38 years
3 years
Life of lease
5 years
5 years
5 years

i) Leases

The Group as lessee

The Group assess whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets (such as tablets and personal computers, small items of office furniture and telephones). For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:

  • Fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;

  • Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date;

  • The amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;

  • The exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and

  • • Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease.

The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.

35

Frontier Digital Ventures Limited and Controlled Entities Notes to the Financial Statements

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)

i) Leases (cont’d)

  • The Group remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever:

  • The lease term has changed or there is a significant event or change in circumstances resulting in a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.

  • The lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guarantee residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using an unchanged discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used).

  • A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.

The Group did not make any adjustments during the periods presented.

The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day, less any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Whenever the Group incurs an obligation for costs to dismantle and remove a leased asset, restore the site on which it is located or restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, a provision is recognised and measured under IAS 37. To the extent that the costs relate to a rightof-use asset, the costs are included in the related right-of-use asset, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects the Group expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease.

The right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The Group applies IAS 36 to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in the ‘Impairment of non-financial assets’ policy.

Variable rents that do not depend on index or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability and the right-of-use asset. The related payments are recognised as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs and are included in the line ‘Premises and infrastructure expenses’ in profit or loss.

As a practical expedient, IFRS 16 permits a lessee not to separate non-lease components, and instead of account for any lease and associated non-lease components as a single arrangement. The Group has not used this practical expedient. For a contract that contain a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.

j) Intangible assets Goodwill

Goodwill arising in a business combination is recognised as an asset at the date that control is acquired (the acquisition date). Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquire (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquire (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

Other intangible assets

Brands and other website development costs acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. They have a finite useful life and are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.

j) Intangible assets (cont’d)

Directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of software and website development include employee costs. Capitalised development costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortised on a straight line basis from the point at which the asset is ready for use.

k) Impairment of non-financial assets

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

l)

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.

m)

Provisions

Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make good obligations are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

n) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Chief Executive Officer of the Group, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the chief operating decision maker that makes strategic decisions.

The financial performances of each operating segment are disclosed in Note 4 Segment information and Note 16 Investments in associates.

o) Contributed equity

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.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)

p) Fair value measurements

Fair value of an asset or a liability, except for share-based payment and lease transactions, is determined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

For a non-financial asset, the fair value measurement takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair value is categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the input used in the valuation technique as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfers.

q) Income taxes

Current tax

Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or loss for the period in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable). Current income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and not in the income statement.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Temporary differences are differences between the tax base of an asset or liability and its carrying amount in the balance sheet at the reporting date. The tax base of an asset or liability is the amount attributed to that asset or liability for tax purposes.

In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not recognised in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates, and interests in joint ventures except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with these investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

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

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

3. Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances

(i) Determining the functional currency

Some subsidiaries of the Group operate in overseas jurisdictions but conduct transactions in multiple currencies. Judgement is applied in determining the functional currency.

The Group uses the currency of sales and purchases to determine functional currency for the Operating Companies. In most cases this is the same as the currency of the related jurisdiction.

There are a number of intermediary entities between the Parent and the Operating Companies and the Group uses, in a hierarchy, the currency in which consideration is payable for the investment holding as the primary basis, followed by purchase and operating expense indicators, and in the event that those indicators are not conclusive, the currency in which borrowings and other funds are raised for financing the operations.

  • (ii) Control over an investee

There are a number of factors considered in determining control over an investee and these are outlined at Note 2(a). A key component of the Company’s assessment of control over an investee is the Company’s power to direct the relevant activities of these companies. The Group achieves accounting control over these investees through Key Special Majority Matters which results in the Group’s absolute and unfettered discretion over operational matters, significant to the Group’s ability to direct the business activities of the investments. Accordingly, these companies are treated as subsidiaries and their results consolidated in the presentation of the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. Significant accounting estimates and assumptions (cont’d)

  • (iii) Joint control or significant influence over the investee

As disclosed in Note 16, the Group holds equity interest between 20% and 50% of certain companies. Although the Group is represented on the Board of Directors of these companies and actively participates in the strategic policy decisions in Executive Committee meetings, it is unable to direct the decisions arrived at in these meetings. On this basis, the Group concludes that it exercises significant influence over these companies and thus treats these companies as associates.

(iv) Valuation technique

The finance department of the Group performs the valuations of non-property items required for financial reporting purposes.

The main areas of significant accounting estimates used by the Group in relation to valuations are derived and evaluated as follows:

  • a) In present value calculations

    • Discount rates for financial assets and financial liabilities are determined using a capital asset pricing model to calculate a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

    • Specific risk adjustments are derived from credit risk gradings incorporating country risk premiums.

  • b) In purchase price allocation for business combinations

    • Valuation of brands

      • Relief from royalty method applied.

      • Revenue growth factor for unlisted equity securities are estimated based on the Group’s expectations from past experience of similar types of companies and specific knowledge of each investment.

    • Valuation of website and software development costs

      • Based on replacement cost derived from estimated man hours and cost per hour.
  • (v) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses impairment of non-financial assets whenever the events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable i.e. the carrying amount of the asset is more than the recoverable amount. This assessment of impairment is carried out on the carrying value of investments in associated companies as well as the carrying value of goodwill on acquisitions. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets (including goodwill) are grouped at the lowest level where there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).

Recoverable amount is measured at the higher of the fair value less cost of disposal for that asset and its value-in-use. Management has determined recoverable amounts by assessing fair value less cost of disposal based on management’s measured and reasonable expectation of selling price achievable in the open market. In doing so, a range of possible discounted cash flow scenarios are modelled over 5 years with a revenue multiple, appropriate for the markets the CGUs operate, applied to terminal year revenue.

The valuation is considered to be level 2 and level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to combination of observable and unobservable inputs used in the valuation.

(vi) Useful lives of other intangible assets

The Group estimates the useful lives to amortise other intangible assets based on the future performance of the assets acquired and management’s judgement of the period over which economic benefits will be derived from the assets. The estimated useful lives of other intangible assets are reviewed periodically, taking into consideration factors such as changes in technology. The amount and timing of recorded expenses for any period would be affected by changes in the estimates. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of the other intangible assets would increase the recorded expenses and decrease the non-current assets. The carrying amounts of the other intangible assets are disclosed Note 14.

4. Segment Information

AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.

Information reported to the Group’s Chief Executive Officer for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of performance is focused on each individual business combinations, essentially by brand. Due to the widespread geography and variety of types of classifieds portals (property, automotive and general classifieds) there is little commonality between each business combination and hence each business combination is reviewed separately.

The Company’s reportable segments under AASB 8 are as follows:

  • Autodeal.com.ph

  • Avito.ma

  • CarsDB.com

  • Encuentra24.com

  • Fincaraiz.com.co

  • Hoppler.com.ph

  • iMyanmarhouse.com

  • Infocasas (infocasas.com.uy; infocasas.com.py; infocasas.com.bo and casaseneleste.com)

  • LankaPropertyWeb.com

  • Meqasa.com

  • Tayara.tn

  • Propertypro.ng

  • Corporate (representing the cost of administrating the Company and the Group)

The performances of the operating segments are primarily assessed using a measure of adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA, see below). However, the segments’ revenue and assets are also assessed on a monthly basis.

Information regarding these segments is presented below. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies. The performance of associate companies is laid out in Note 16.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes the effects of significant items of income and expenditure which may have an impact on the quality of earnings such as restructuring costs, legal expenses, and other isolated, non-recurring events. It also excludes the effects of equity-settled share-based payments and unrealised gains or losses on financial instruments.

Interest income and finance costs are not allocated to segments, as this type of activity is driven by the central treasury function, which manages the cash position of the group.

All revenues are generated from external customers. No single customer contributes 10% or more to the Group’s revenue for 2020 or 2019.

For the purposes of monitoring segment performance and allocating resources between segments:

  • All assets are allocated to reportable segments other than interests in associates, ‘other financial assets’ and current and deferred tax assets. Assets used by reportable segments are allocated on the basis of the revenues earned by individual reportable segments; and

  • All liabilities are allocated to reportable segments other than borrowings, ‘other financial liabilities’, current and deferred tax liabilities. Liabilities for which reportable segments are jointly liable are allocated in proportion to segment assets.

Unrecognised deferred tax assets

Share issue costs

A deferred tax asset has not been recognised in relation to deferred share issue costs (which have been recognised directly into share capital) because, in the opinion of the Directors, it is not probable that sufficient taxable income will be generated to utilise the future deductions.

Carry forward losses

A deferred tax asset has not been recognised in relation to the carry forward taxation losses and temporary differences due to insufficient sources of taxable income to utilise the losses and/or future deductions.

Tax related contingencies

The Group anticipates that tax audits may occur in the future and the Group is subject to routine tax audits in certain overseas jurisdictions. The ultimate outcome of any future tax audits cannot be determined with an acceptable degree of reliability at this time. Nevertheless, the Group believes that it is making adequate provision for its taxation liabilities (including amounts shown as current tax liabilities) and is taking reasonable steps to address potentially contentious issues with tax authorities. However, there may be an impact to the Group if any of the tax authority investigations result in an adjustment that increases the Group’s taxation liabilities.

Expected credit loss (“ECL”)

The average credit period on services provided is ranging from 15 to 30 days. No interest is charged on outstanding trade receivables.

The Group always measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date.

The Group has recognised a loss allowance of 100% against all receivables over 365 days past due because historical experience has indicated that these receivables are generally not recoverable.

The Group has increased the expected loss rates for trade receivables from the prior year based on its judgement of the impact of current economic conditions including the impact of COVID-19 pandemic in the countries the Group operates. There has been no change in the estimation techniques during the current reporting period.

The following table shows the movements in lifetime ECL that has been recognised in trade receivables:

11. Other financial assets

Included in Other financial assets is US$745,123 (AUD equivalent $981,401) (2019: US$685,123 (AUD equivalent $983,484)) of convertible loan notes issued by Pakwheels Pte Ltd (“Pakwheels”), an associate company.

Interest at 10% per annum on a monthly rest basis will accrue six months from the date of issue of the convertible loan notes. The whole of the outstanding loan balance will be automatically converted into ordinary shares in Pakwheels should equity financing from the sale of new equity exceed a minimum amount stipulated in the agreement. If that minimum amount is not achieved by Pakwheels through equity financing, the majority of noteholders have the option to convert any part of their outstanding loan balances into equity at a prevailing fair value at the time of conversion. The financial asset is classified as fair value through profit or loss.

The convertible loan notes mature on 3 October 2022.

The recoverable amounts of each cash generating unit (CGU) is determined based on fair value less cost of disposal calculations, derived from management’s measured and reasonable expectation of selling price achievable in the open market at a revenue multiple and growth rate appropriate for the market the CGU operates. Management reviews the carrying amounts of CGUs, which include carrying amounts of goodwill and intangible assets, for indicators of impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently when there is any indication that the CGUs may be impaired.

The overall global impact of COVID-19 pandemic has slowed down activities around the world as well as introducing ongoing economic uncertainty.

Since the low of the pandemic in March 2020, traffic and revenues have returned for most CGUs, many now to preCOVID-19 levels.

Despite the positive signs of FDV’s investments recovery from the initial COVID-19 impact, should restrictions be reimposed in individual countries in future periods, those relevant investments will be exposed to a potential decline in revenue which will impact the recoverable amount as calculated by management’s impairment models.

Key assumptions used in fair value less cost of disposal calculations and sensitivity to changes in assumptions

The calculations of the carrying amounts for CarsDB, Meqasa, Pakwheels and iMyanmarhouse were most sensitive to the following assumptions:

  • Growth rates used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the forecast period.

Growth rate estimates – Revenue growth rates beyond FY20 are based on Management’s best estimate, historic results and external data in the industry. Management recognises that the speed of technological change and the possibility of changes in local market share may have significant impact on growth rate assumptions. The effect is not expected to have an adverse impact on the forecasts but could yield a reasonably possible alternative to the estimated growth rate of the below identified CGUs.

15. Goodwill (cont’d)

CarsDB CGU

The recoverable amount of CarsDB CGU of US$4.9m as at 31 December 2020 has been determined based on a fair value less cost to sell cash flow model using cash flow projections from FY20 financial projections, approved by the Directors covering a five-year period. The projected cash flows have been updated to reflect the effects of COVID-19. The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 27% (2019: 24%) and cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using an average 33% (2019: 30%) growth rate. A reduction by 4% in the annual growth rate for CarsDB would result in an impairment.

The recoverable amount of the CGU exceeded the carrying amount of the entity non-current assets by US$1.1m. As a result of this analysis, management has not recognised an impairment charge in the current year.

iMyanmarhouse CGU

The recoverable amount of iMyanmarhouse CGU of US$8.5m as at 31 December 2020 has been determined based on fair value less cost to sell cash flow model using cash flow projections from FY20 financial projections approved, by the Directors covering a five-year period. The projected cash flows have been updated to reflect the effects of COVID-19. The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 27% (2019: 24%) and cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using an average 37% (2019: 29%) growth rate. A reduction by 15% in the annual growth rate for iMyanmarhouse would result in an impairment.

The recoverable amount of the CGU exceeded the carrying amount of the entity non-current assets by US$5.4m. As a result of this analysis, management has not recognised an impairment charge in the current year.

Meqasa CGU

The recoverable amount of Meqasa CGU of US$2.2m as at 31 December 2020 has been determined based on a fair value less cost to sell cash flow model using cash flow projections from FY20 financial projections, approved by the Directors covering a five-year period. The projected cash flows have been updated to reflect the effects of COVID-19. The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 25% (2019: 24%) and cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using an average 33% (2019: 34%) growth rate. A reduction by 10% in the annual growth rate for Meqasa would result in impairment.

The recoverable amount of the CGU exceeded the carrying amount of the entity non-current assets by US$0.5m. As a result of this analysis, management has not recognised an impairment charge in the current year.

Pakwheels CGU

The recoverable amount of Pakwheels CGU of US$2.4m as at 31 December 2020 has been determined based on fair value less cost to sell cash flow model using cash flow projections from FY20 financial projections approved, by the Directors covering a five-year period. The projected cash flows have been updated to reflect the effects of COVID19. The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 25% (2019: 22%) and cash flows beyond the fiveyear period are extrapolated using an average 24% (2019: 19%) growth rate. A reduction by 9% in the annual growth rate for Pakwheels would result in an impairment.

The recoverable amount of the CGU exceeded the carrying amount of the entity non-current assets by US$1.2m. As a result of this analysis, management has not recognised an impairment charge in the current year.

Other considerations

Management has also considered the post balance sheet date political events in Myanmar. Refer to Note 34 – Subsequent events in relation to the GCUs iMyanmarhouse and CarsDB; which are located in this country.

The Group’s activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks arising from their operations and the use of financial instruments. The key financial risks include foreign currency risk, and liquidity risk. The Group’s corporate treasury function identifies and evaluates financial risks in close co-operation with the Group’s operating units.

The Group’s overall financial risk management objective is to optimise value for their shareholders. The Group does not trade in financial instruments. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees to policies and procedures for the management of these risks, which are executed by the Group’s senior management.

The following table analyses the fair value of the financial instruments in the statements of financial position by the classes of financial instruments to which they are assigned:

23. Financial risk management (cont’d)

(a) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk of fluctuation in fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Group’s net investments in foreign subsidiaries, which is predominantly denominated in United States Dollars (USD).

The Group carries a significant exposure to movements in the currency exchange rates between the United States Dollar (USD) and the Australian Dollar (AUD). Most acquisitions are denominated in USD and USD is the functional currency of the intermediate holding company of the Group as well as a number of significant subsidiaries.

There is no other material exposure to foreign currency risks within the financial assets and financial liabilities outside of each operating entity’s functional currency, and as such no foreign currency exposure arises. However, the translation of these foreign entities’ results from their respective non-Australian dollar functional currencies into the Australian dollar presentation currency of the Group represents a foreign currency reporting risk to the Group.

A 5% movement in the average exchange rate of the USD over the course of the year would have impacted earnings by $720,222 (2019: $183,439) and a 5% movement in the spot rate of the USD would have impacted cash and cash equivalents reported at the year end by $883,341 (2019: $317,345).

Management has set up a practise to monitor changes in foreign exchange rates on an ongoing basis. The Group also takes advantage of any natural effects of its foreign currencies revenues and expenses by maintaining current accounts in foreign currencies.

(b) Interest rate risk management

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk is limited to the movement in interest rate in terms of its cash held at bank.

Interest rate sensitivity

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s profit for the year ended 31 December 2020 would increase/decrease by $171,271 (2019: $72,129). This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its cash held at bank. The Group earned $218,287 (2019: $428,144) in interest income which is an average annual return of 0.23% (2019: 1.91%) on its average cash balance for the year.

(c) Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group adopted a policy of generally dealing with reputable counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.

Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers and ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the accounts regularly. The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowance for losses, represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

The Group measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position. However, due to the short trading history of the Group, the information available on past default experience is limited. The expected credit losses on trade receivables is further adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date.

There has been no change in the estimation techniques or significant assumptions made during the current reporting period.

(d) Capital risk management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders by maintaining an optimal capital structure. In order to do so, the Group may adjust the amount of dividend payment, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, buy back issued shares, obtain new borrowings or sell assets to reduce borrowings.

The Group had no borrowings as at the end of the financial year.

(e) Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Group’s liquidity risk management policy is to monitor and maintain a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate for the management to finance the Group’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, who have built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short, medium and longterm funding and liquidity management requirements.

24.1.1 Acquisition of companies

During the financial year, the Group gained accounting control of the following groups of companies (collectively referred to as “Operating Companies”) via new investments. The Group has up to twelve months from the date of acquisition to complete its initial acquisition accounting. Any adjustment to the fair values based on circumstances existing at acquisition date, including associated tax adjustments, within this twelve-month period will have an equal and opposite impact on the provisional intangible asset recorded on acquisition.

The Group recognises non-controlling interests in an acquired entity either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets. This decision is made on an acquisitionby-acquisition basis. For the non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries listed below, the group elected to recognise the non-controlling interests at its proportionate share of the acquired net identifiable assets. See note 2(b) for the group’s accounting policies for business combinations.

The following summarises the effect of the acquisition of subsidiaries as at the date of acquisitions during the year ended 31 December 2020:

34. Subsequent events

Myanmar Political Situation

On 1 February 2021, Myanmar’s military staged a coup and overthrew the elected civilian government. The military is now in charge and has declared a year-long state of emergency with political power transferred to the Commanderin-Chief of Defence Services. There have been numerous deadly street protests since and the military has imposed restrictions, including curfews and bans on public gatherings. The Group’s operations in Myanmar impacted are the FDV controlled entities iMyanmarhouse and CarsDB.

iMyanmarhouse

Operations are located in the centre of the capital Yangon and have been substantially affected by the coup. There have been limited communications with the Group since February due to the military restrictions over phone lines and the internet. Management and staff have not been able to get back to work due to closure of roads leading to their office and other restrictions. The Group holds 52.63% of the entity’s share capital.

The Group lost control (as defined under Accounting Standards) of iMyanmarhouse on or about 1 February 2021 as a result of the military coup and the impact of that on the Group’s ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the Group’s returns. From that date the Group ceased to consolidate the results and the assets and liabilities of that entity. The Group’s loss on deconsolidation of this entity is $2,400,044 as set out in Note 33. The Group has not received any consideration in connection with the loss of control.

Management will continue to explore options to recommence control of iMyanmarhouse. If control is regained at a future point, consolidation of the entity will recommence.

CarsDB

Operations are outside the coup affected area however the future impacts, if any, remains unknown. CarsDB continues to submit financial information to the Group and channels of communication are open. The Group holds 64.81% of the entity’s share capital and despite this post year end event, Management believes that they continue to exercise control over this entity.

The impact of the coup may result in negative impacts on financial performance which may impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. At the date of this report it is not possible to quantify the effects of these possible changes.

If the current political situation does impact Management’s ability to control CarsDB, it is possible that the Group will also cease to consolidate this entity due to a loss of control (as defined under Accounting Standards).

The Group will continue to assess and monitor the situation closely.

COVID-19

The Group will continue to assess and monitor the COVID-19 situation closely as well as the measures imposed by the Governments of the respective countries where the Group operates. Although the duration and ultimate impact COVID-19 will have on world economies remains unknown, the Group and its operating businesses are well capitalised and are in a strong position to navigate the uncertainty COVID-19 has presented to businesses worldwide.

Other subsequent events

On 20 January 2021, the Group entered into a sale and purchase agreement to acquire 306,614 ordinary shares from the other shareholder of Moteur with a total consideration of US$1,200,000 (AUD equivalent 1,551,840), increasing its equity interest by 43.69% from 56.31% to 100.00%. Consequently, the Group gain control of Moteur and will consolidate its results from the date of acquisition.

On 25 February 2021, the Group entered into the sale and purchase agreement to acquire from Adevinta ASA 100% of the issued capital of Yapo.cl (“Yapo”) with cash consideration of EUR15,998,901 (AUD equivalent $24,521,407). Yapo is the leading general classifieds business in Chile, with high value auto and real estate verticals.

There has been no other transactions or events of a material and unusual nature between the end of the reporting period and the date of the report likely, in the opinion of the Directors of the Company, to affect significantly the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or state of affairs of the consolidated entity in future years.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Frontier Digital Ventures Limited

Qualified opinion

We have audited the financial report of Frontier Digital Ventures Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and

  • (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards to the extent described in Note 1, and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for Qualified Opinion

The Group’s consolidated statement of profit and loss, consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of cash flows include amounts as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020, as set out in Note 33, in respect of the Group’s investment in iMyanmarhouse, a foreign subsidiary operating in Myanmar. Following the military coup in Myanmar on 1 February 2021, we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence in respect of the financial information of iMyanmarhouse as set out in note 33 because we were unable to access the financial information and management of this entity. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to the amounts relating to iMyanmarhouse included in Note 33 were necessary.

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards ) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

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

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

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

Key Audit Matters

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

In addition to the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter How the scope of our audit responded to
the Key Audit Matter
Carrying value of goodwill and other
intangible assets
The Group has recognised goodwill of $64.8
million and other intangible assets of $22.5
million as at 31 December 2020 as disclosed
in Notes 14 and 15.
AASB 136_Impairment of Assets_requires an
annual assessment of whether there should
be an impairment of such assets at the level
of the lowest identifiable cash generating
units
(CGU),
which,
for
the
Group,
represents the operating business which it
controls.
The
directors
prepared
a
discounted cashflow model to perform
impairment assessments for each CGU.
Within these models, key assumptions
included revenue growth over the short to
medium term, the revenue multiplier applied
as part of the terminal value cash flow
calculation and discount rates.
Significant judgements are required in the
impairment assessment by management
about the anticipated future results of the
operating
businesses,
and
the
wider
economies in which they operate. As the
majority of operating companies are in the
earlier stages of their lifecycle and operate in
a diverse range of economies world-wide,
there was a high degree of estimation,
complexity and uncertainty in developing
key assumptions for the cash flow models.
Our procedures included, but were not
limited to:
• Assessing the determination of the Group’s
CGUs based on our understanding of the
nature of the Group’s businesses and how
independent cash flows are derived.
• Testing relevant controls within
management’s impairment assessment
process, including the preparation, review
and board approval of cash flow forecasts
supporting this process.
• In conjunction with our valuation
specialists we evaluated the key
assumptions used in management’s
recoverable amount analysis including:
o
Assessing the basis for management’s
forecast revenue, cash flows and
terminal value growth assumptions
including consideration of historical
growth trends, business case analysis
and support for future forecast
revenue growth and cost savings.
o
Obtaining revenue valuation multiples
of comparable companies to establish
an independent range to compare
against those used in terminal value
cash flow calculations.
o
Assessing management’s historical
forecasting accuracy of the Group’s
operating results.
o
Recalculating an expected discount
rate and comparing this to the rate
calculated by management.
o
Performing sensitivity analysis on the
impairment model using varied
discount rates and growth projections
to simulate alternative market
conditions and outcomes.
• Assessing the appropriateness of the
treatment of the subsequent event relating
to the two entities based in Myanmar as a
non-adjusting subsequent event.
• Assessing the appropriateness of the

Key Audit Matter

Carrying value of associates

The Group has a carrying value of investments in associates of $5.7 million as at 31 December 2020 as disclosed in Note 16.

The directors prepared a discounted cashflow model to perform impairment assessments for each investment in an associate. Within these models, key assumptions included revenue growth over the short to medium term, the revenue multiplier applied as part of the terminal value cash flow calculation and discount rates.

How the scope of our audit responded to the Key Audit Matter

Our procedures included, but were not limited to:

  • Assessing the existence of impairment indicators by: o Evaluating the current business results against both prior periods and budgets, and potential events that could be an indicator of impairment.

  • o Inquiring with a selection of local operational managers to obtain an understanding of key forecast events.

  • • Assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures in Note 3(v) and Note 16 to the financial statements.

We identified impairment indicators for the
investments in Moteur, Pakwheels and
Zameen. For these investments our
procedures included, but were not limited to:
• Assessing the determination of the Group’s
CGUs based on our understanding of the
nature of the Group’s businesses and how
independent cash flows are derived.
• Testing relevant controls within
management’s impairment assessment
process, including the preparation, review
and board approval of cash flow forecasts
supporting this process.
• In conjunction with our valuation
specialists we evaluated the key
assumptions used in management’s
recoverable amount analysis including:
o
Assessing the basis for management’s
forecast revenue, cash flows and
terminal value growth assumptions
including consideration of historical
growth trends, business case analysis
and support for future forecast
revenue growth and cost savings.
o
Obtaining revenue valuation multiples
of comparable companies to establish
an independent range to compare
against those used in terminal value
cash flow calculations.
o
Assessing management’s historical
forecasting accuracy of the Group’s
operating results.
o
Recalculating an expected discount
rate and comparing this to the rate
calculated by management.
o
Performing sensitivity analysis on the
impairment model using varied
discount rates and growth projections
to simulate alternative market
conditions and outcomes.

or
Acquired
Controlled
Businesses
The Group acquired 100% of the share
capital of the following entities, as disclosed
in Notes 17 and 25.1.1:
• Avito SCM S.a.r.l (“Avito”)
• Editora Urbana Limitada (“Fincaraiz”)
• STE Adevinta Tunisia S.a.r.l (“Tayara”)
• Le Rouge AB
The total purchase price of these acquisitions
was $57.8 million with associated goodwill as
of acquisition date of $41.1 million.
There are complexities and judgement
inherent in determining the fair value of the
assets and liabilities acquired, particularly
relating to the identification and recognition
of identifiable intangible assets such as
brands.
Our procedures included, but were not limited
to:
• Reading key executed transaction
documents to understand the key terms
and conditions of the transaction including
the assets and liabilities acquired.
• Assessing how the Group estimated the
fair value of the assets and liabilities
identified in the acquisition.
• In relation to the valuation of the acquired
intangible assets, including brands,
websites and software:
o
Assessing, in conjunction with our
valuation specialists, the
reasonableness of revenue cashflow
forecasts used in the brand valuation
models by agreeing the forecasted
cash flow inputs of the model to the
latest approved budgets and
comparing revenue growth rates to
comparable companies in the
industry.
o
Comparing the royalty rates used in
the brand valuation models to the
royalty rates used on the Groups
previous acquisitions of similar size
and stage of development businesses.
o
Assessing the reasonableness of
internally developed estimates of
hours incurred and rates applied to
support the fair value of the websites
and software which is determined on a
replacement cost basis.
o
Evaluating the useful life of intangible
assets acquired by comparing to a
range of comparable companies with
intangible assets of a similar nature,
including the Group's previous
acquisitions.
• Recalculated management's calculations
and the formula applied to identify any
irregular or incorrect formula.
• Agreeing the goodwill recognised in the
consolidated balance sheet relating to the
acquired entities to the acquisition
accounting.
• Assessing the appropriateness of the
disclosures in Note 25 to the financial
statements.

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

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

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

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

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

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

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

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

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

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

83

==> picture [97 x 19] intentionally omitted <==

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

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

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

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

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

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

Voting rights for Ordinary Shares and Shares subject to escrow

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

Restriction on disposal of shares under voluntary escrow arrangements gives the Company a technical “relevant interest’ in its own shares under section 608(1)(c) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). However, the Company has no right to acquire these shares or to control the voting rights attaching to these shares.

Voting rights relating to shares subject to escrow are the same as for ordinary shares except that, during a breach of the ASX Listing Rules relating to Shares which are Restricted Securities, a breach of a restriction agreement, the holder of the relevant Restricted Securities is not entitled to any voting rights in respect of those Restricted Securities.
