CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Shareholder

The Year in Review

It is pleasing to report to shareholders that for the year ended 30 June 2013, AdEffective Limited (the Company ) and its controlled entities (the Group ) recorded a maiden profit of $45,471. This result marks the best full year financial result since the Company’s relisting on the ASX in 2010 and is a significant turnaround on FY2012 results (where the Group recorded a loss of $1,649,942) and was achieved through a combination of increased revenue, an increase in overall average gross profit margin, and the results of the Company’s stabilisation process undertaken in FY2012. Specifically, the profit was driven by AdFeed’s continuing steady revenues, and bolstered by revenues achieved by the Company’s Footar product for the first time during FY2013. In addition, the Group reaped the benefits of the recapitalisation program undertaken in FY2012, following which the Group was able to avoid costs associated with the maintenance of debt. A further factor which assisted in the Group in returning a profitable result was the continued reduction of overheads and corporate costs achieved by management.

In order to streamline the Company’s businesses, a decision has been made to merge the AdFeed and Footar businesses into one business unit, the Online Advertising division, which took effect from 1 July 2013. In April 2013 the Company announced that it had commenced the creation of an e- commerce division. The new e-commerce division will sit alongside the Online Advertising division. The Company’s creation of an e-commerce division is an extension of its existing businesses and is being initially developed with minimal capital expenditure and resources. The Company executed letters of intent for the purchase of the business assets of Ohki.com.au and Ezydirect.com.au, subject to certain completion milestones being achieved.

Ohki is an online e-commerce store established in 2010, specialising in electronics products, and EzyDirect is an online e-commerce store established in 2006, specialising in electronics and office supply products. The acquisition of Ohki by the Company will complete in early FY2014 and the Company will re-establish operations of the Ohki website and commence trading.

At an operating level, the Company successfully completed the reconstruction of its business around Online Advertising and e-commerce, ceased work on non-performing products and undertook initiatives to ensure the business was capable of further expansion in FY2014.

The Group’s results for FY2013 reflect revenues predominantly generated from the AdFeed and Footar businesses (which now comprise the new Online Advertising division), with the e-commerce division yet to generate any revenue. Revenue for the year was $2,778,518 as compared to the prior year of $2,620,459.

FORWARD STRATEGY

The Company’s results of a maiden net profit for the year of $45,471 (2012: net loss $1,649,942) were below the board approved budget. A full summary of the results is included in the segment disclosures of the notes to the financial statements in this Annual Report. The AdFeed and Footar businesses (which now comprise the new Online Advertising division) provided steady revenues for the Group and in FY2013 delivered a segment result of net profit $609,153 (2012: $22,418) before finance costs and other corporate expenses. Due to a number of challenges within this industry however, the Company does not expect growth from this channel in the short to medium term, and accordingly the Company has an increased focus on further developing its newly established e-commerce division.

The acquisitions of EzyDirect.com.au and Ohki.com.au will form the base of the e-commerce division and the Company will continue to search for strategic acquisitions associated with e-commerce in

AdEffective Limited and Controlled Entities FY13 Annual Report

3 | P a g e

FY2014. The Company is also looking at other opportunities to diversify its business content including additional online revenue streams.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of my fellow Directors, to welcome Mr Simon Crean to the Company who will assume the role of Chief Executive Officer with effect from 9 September 2013. This change is occurring as a natural development of the Company’s shift of focus from Online Advertising to e-commerce. Accordingly, Mr Damian London, who has been the Company’s CEO since May 2011, resigned from this role in August 2013. Mr. London has a successful proven track record in the Online Advertising sector. As the Company’s e-commerce division is building, it was agreed that a CEO with experience in the e-commerce sector would be beneficial in taking the Company forward. Mr Crean has extensive internet experience including positions with Looksmart, Ericsson, destra, Mercury Mobility and Effective Measure. His extensive internet experience together with his broad commercial background and technical experience make him an ideal candidate for the role of the Company’s CEO and we look forward to his contribution.

While Mr London is resigning as CEO, he continues to be a substantial shareholder of the Company, and will remain as a Non-Executive Director on the Company’s Board. We are grateful that we retain the benefit of his knowledge and experience at the Board level.

We thank Mr London for his outstanding contribution to the Company as both CEO and director. His expertise in Online Advertising and his continued efforts in managing the business have been first class and he has steered the Company through some challenging times. Mr London hands over to Mr Crean a Company that is now trading profitably. Likewise we look forward to receiving the benefit of Mr Crean’s skills and expertise in the e-commerce sector as he develops the business over the coming years.

OUTLOOK

With a solid FY2013 result, the Company is committed to revenue growth in FY2014 and intends to focus on generating additional revenues for the business through its e-commerce division.

The Company will continue to explore options for strategic growth, either through acquisition or partnership, in particular focusing on expansion of the e-commerce division to improve sales revenue in FY2014.

The Company also remains committed to organic growth of its Online Advertising division by focusing its attention on signing up additional partners and clients to its range of online advertising offerings.

The Directors believe the Group is well placed to leverage a number of opportunities and look forward to being in a position to provide shareholders with further updates on the Group’s progress as it develops.

The Group had no employees as at 30 June 2013 (2012: nil). The Group had consulting agreements with 3 contractors as at 30 June 2013 (2012: 4 contractors) who performed the primary activities of the Group at 30 June 2013.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

Review of Operations

In FY2013 AdEffective committed to focusing on further development of the Footar division and continued operations of the AdFeed division. Footar division revenues in FY2013 were not in line with expectations and it was decided to merge the AdFeed and Footar divisions into a new Online Advertising division effective 1 July 2013.

The Company is pleased to announce a profit of $45,471 for the year ended 30 June 2013. Sales for the year were $2,778,518, slightly higher than FY2012 of $2,620,459. FY2013 saw the gross profit margin increase significantly to 43% (FY2012 gross profit margin: 36%) resulting from increases in earnings across Footar and Adfeed.

All revenues were generated from online advertising in FY2013. Revenues generated from the AdFeed division remained steady throughout the year whilst Footar display revenues declined quarter-on-quarter throughout FY2013 (Q1 FY2013 - $376,316, Q4 FY2013 - $160,279). The decrease in Footar display revenues resulted from a decrease in CPM (Cost per 1000 Page Impressions) payments being received. Overall revenues increased by $158,059 to $2,778,518 in 2013 (2012: $2,620,459) which can be attributed to better performance in the Footar division in Q1 and Q2. Whilst revenues from the Footar division improved in FY2013 in comparison to revenues generated from this division in FY2012, they failed to meet budgeted expectations. This performance ultimately led to the cessation of the Rubicon Agreement during May 2013.

In April 2013 the Company announced that it had commenced the creation of an e-commerce division. The new e-commerce division will sit alongside the Online Advertising division. The Company’s creation of an e-commerce division is a natural extension of its existing businesses and is being developed with minimal additional capital expenditure and resources. The Company executed letters of intent for the purchase of the business assets of Ohki.com.au and Ezydirect.com.au, subject to certain completion milestones being achieved.

Results

Revenue for the year ended 30 June 2013 was $2,778,518 (2012: $2,620,459). Net profit from operations was $45,471 (2012: Net loss $1,649,942). The Group generated a profit of $45,471 (2012: net loss of $1,649,942) and net cash inflows from operations of $210,234 (2012: outflows of $424,440) for the year ended 30 June 2013. This year is the first year the Group is making net profits from operations.

Business model

Subsequent to the creation of an e-commerce division and the merger of the Group’s AdFeed and Footar divisions into a single business unit, being the online advertising division, the Group’s business is now conducted through those two key business divisions from 1 July 2013.

The online advertising division has two online advertising products, AdFeed and Footar. The newly created e-commerce division has two online retail stores, EzyDirect.com.au and OHKI.com.au , subject to completion of acquisition activities.

AdEffective Limited and Controlled Entities FY13 Annual Report

9 | P a g e

Online advertising division

The online advertising business leverages an extensive network of advertisers and publishers in conjunction with its proprietary technology platform to provide advertising placement and advertising syndication services across the world. The division generates revenue from AdFeed, a search and text advertising product where online advertising feeds are sourced, aggregated and syndicated and displayed on over 15 advertising networks in 15 countries. The division also generates revenue through Footar, an advertising display space located at the bottom of over 200 websites that provides a customisable ‘digital’ search, content and advertising delivery platform to increase revenue for our online publishing customers.

Strategies and plans – Online advertising division

  • Expand into new markets to augment existing organic growth

  • Increase our publisher network inline with the increasing supply of advertising inventory

  • Assess opportunities to leverage our technology, network, publisher and advertising partnerships to extend our offering to mobile devices

E-commerce division

The e-commerce division will leverage a consolidated, store management, inventory, supplier, sales and service platform to efficiently provide consumers and small-to-medium businesses products purchased through our online retail stores, EzyDirect.com.au which services the office supplies market and OHKI.com.au which services the consumer electronics market.

Strategies and plans – E-commerce division

  • Complete acquisition activities and re-launch the respective online operations

  • Increase revenue across our online stores through customer acquisition and retention activities, sales optimisation and cross-selling to customers across online retail stores

  • Enhance the e-commerce platform to support new online stores and create cost efficiencies across the division

  • Enter new retail categories attractive to the division, organically or via acquisition

  • Pursue further e-commerce acquisitions funded through cash reserves or the issue of ordinary shares

Future Prospects

The Directors are confident that the combination of careful management of overheads, continued sustained revenue from AdFeed, successful completion of the e-commerce asset purchases, and the potential to raise capital should circumstances require, provides sufficient funds to meet ongoing capital requirements of the Group and the Company for the foreseeable future.

Whilst there is significant uncertainty, the Directors consider it appropriate to prepare the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2013 on a going concern basis as they are satisfied that based on the factors outlined above, the Group will be able to meet its debts as and when they become due and payable for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this report.

However without funding from positive operating cash flows and if the Company were unable to raise capital if required, there would be a material uncertainty as to whether the consolidated entity would be able to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it would be able to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business, and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

There was a cash balance at 30 June 2013 of $564,223 (2012: $353,999).

Likely developments and expected results

The Company is pleased with the 2013 financial result and the Directors are cautiously optimistic that, despite the challenges in the global advertising environment, the Group is positioned to achieve its objective of continued profitability in the 2014 financial year.

Key business risks

A number of specific risk factors that may impact the future performance of the Group are described below. Shareholders should note that this list is not exhaustive.

(a) Risks related to the Group’s online advertising business division

  • Relationships with clients – The Group has a number of key clients to which it supplies and for whom it sells advertising. The Company is reliant on these clients and advertisers. Any changes in the Company's relationship with one or more clients or advertisers would be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.

  • Ability to retain key clients – The online advertising business division of the Group is dependent on securing of contracts to license and supply advertising products and services to consumers. The Group has no control over the timing of these opportunities or in respect of the awarding of such contracts. The Company's relationship with its key customers is principally governed by formal and informal contractual arrangements. Generally, there is no guaranteed minimum level of revenue for AdEffective under these arrangements. Because there are relatively few customers and contracts can be relatively large, revenue is not expected to be spread evenly throughout the year. If the Company fails to maintain or secure future contracts, revenue could be significantly affected. Whilst the Company adopts a number of measures to address risks in this respect (such as through a focus on developing its relationships with key customers), such measures cannot guarantee the Company’s ability to maintain or secure its contracts. For instance, as a result of revenues from the Footar division failing to meet budgeted expectations during the year (despite an improvement from FY2012 revenues), the Company’s contract with Rubicon was terminated in May 2013.

(b) Risks related to the Group’s e-commerce business division

  • New division – The Group’s e-commerce division is a new business offering. Whilst the new division is an extension of the Group’s existing business and is being developed with

AdEffective Limited and Controlled Entities FY13 Annual Report

11 | P a g e

minimal capital expenditure and resources, there is no guarantee that this division will generate profits in the near to medium term, particularly at this early stage of its development. In addition, the development of the Group’s e-commerce division is dependent on growth through strategic acquisitions. Whilst the Directors continue to source reliable acquisition opportunities that will provide appropriate additions to the Group’s e-commerce division, the Company cannot guarantee the success or indeed completion of any proposed acquisitions of new businesses. Accordingly, there is a risk that the Group will not, in the short to medium term, realise any value from its capital investments in these businesses.

  • E-commerce risks – There are a number of inherent risks associated with operating in the e-commerce sector, including but not limited to security breaches (particularly in relation to credit card security), fraud exposure, customer disputes and chargebacks. For instance, security risks arising from intrusions from viruses and hackers could disrupt the Group’s business operations and may lead to loss in customer confidence and sales revenue.

(c) General risks

  • Reliance on technology – The successful operation of the Group’s business is dependent on various technologies including the internet and co-located dedicated servers. Any significant disruption to these systems could have a materially detrimental effect on the Group’s business. Further, there is no guarantee that the technology utilised by the Group will not, in the future, be superseded by other technologies.

  • Intellectual property – One of the Group’s significant assets is its intellectual property rights in products and services, which it has developed. The Company relies on a combination of copyright and trademark laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect these assets. Unauthorised use of the Company's intellectual property could have a materially adverse effect on the Company and there can be no assurance that the Company's legal remedies would adequately compensate it for the damage to its business caused by such use.

  • Competition – The Group is not unique in developing and marketing many of its products and services. There is a risk that its products and services may not, in the future, be able to compete with competitors' products and services on cost or technical grounds.

Risk Management

The Board takes a proactive approach to risk management. The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks, and also opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that the Company’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks and opportunities identified by the Board. The Company believes that it is crucial for all Board members to be a part of this process and, as such, the Board has not established a separate risk management committee.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

The following significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group occurred during the financial year:

  • On 22 April 2013, the Company announced the creation of the e-commerce division and its intention in reviewing acquisition opportunities of a number of e-commerce websites.

  • In May 2013, the Company terminated its key Footer Partner contract with Rubicon.

After balance date events

Since 30 June 2013, the Company announced that as part of its ongoing strategy to augment its current business with the establishment of an e-commerce division, Mr Damian London resigned as Chief Executive Officer effective 2 August 2013, and Mr Simon Crean will assume this role, with effect from 9 September 2013.

Environmental regulation

The Group’s operations are not subject to any significant Commonwealth or State environmental regulations or laws.

Share options (listed & unlisted)

The Company granted 6,000,000 Performance Rights to Directors as an incentive to provide dedicated and ongoing commitment and effort to the Company. The performance rights were granted under the Notice of 2012 Annual General Meeting of the Company on 28 November 2012. The exercise price of the rights was zero cents.

The rights were to vest if the relevant Director was continuously employed until 30 June 2013 and the Company achieved its budgeted revenue of $4.4 million and profit after tax of $96,000 for the year ended 30 June 2013. The Company did not meet its Board approved budgeted revenue and profit targets for FY2013 and accordingly the rights have now lapsed.

The Company expensed the grant-date fair value of the rights over the vesting period from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2013. In view of the performance rights only vesting upon the achievement of the above-said performance conditions, management took into account the probability of achievement the performance conditions in determining the expense.

The fair value of the performance rights granted at grant date was $0.011 per the ASX daily closing price on the date of the AGM.

As at 30 June 2013, the Company reversed the performance rights expense of $12,857 recognised in half year ended 31 December 2012 due to the fact that the vesting conditions were not met as at 30 June 2013.

No listed share options or unlisted share options were issued and exercised during the financial year ended 30 June 2013. As at the date of this report, there were 147,248,490 listed share options and 2,600,000 unlisted share options outstanding. Refer to note 25 of the financial statements and the Remuneration Report for further details of share options outstanding to directors and key management personnel.

Indemnification and insurance of directors and officers

The Company agreed to indemnify all directors and executive officers for losses which they may become legally obligated to pay on account of any claim first made against them during the policy period for a wrongful act committed before or during the policy.

Total amount of insurance contract premium paid was $4,800.

Proceedings on behalf of the Consolidated Entity

No person has applied for leave of Court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Group.

Remuneration Report (Audited)

This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for Directors and executives of the Group.

Remuneration policy

The performance of the Group depends upon the quality of its Directors and executives. To be successful, the Group must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled Directors and executives. To this end, the Group seeks to provide competitive rewards to attract high calibre executives. The Board of Directors is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for the Directors, the Chief Executive Officer and the executive team. The Board of Directors assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of such officers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and executive team.

Hedging of equity awards

The Group has a policy in place to prohibit Directors and executives from entering into equity hedging arrangements to protect the value of unvested options.

Remuneration committee

In view of the size of the Group, the Group does not have a separately established remuneration committee.

Remuneration structure

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive Director and executive remuneration is separate and distinct.

Executive Director and senior manager remuneration

Objective

The Group aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Group so as to:

  • Reward executives for the Group and individual performance;

  • Align the interests of executives with those of shareholders;

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

  • Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

Structure

Currently remuneration is paid in the form of cash remuneration, superannuation contributions and share options where applicable. For the financial year ended 30 June 2013, the Directors have put in place remuneration packages with key executives that are dependent on performance conditions being met. Further details of the remuneration of the Directors and Key Management Personnel is provided belowand in note 25 to the consolidated financial statements.

Share options

The Company granted 6,000,000 Performance Rights to Directors as an incentive to provide dedicated and ongoing commitment and effort to the Company. The performance rights were granted under the Notice of 2012 Annual General Meeting of the Company on 28 November 2012. The exercise price of the rights was zero cents.

The Performance Rights were to vest if the relevant Director was continuously employed until 30 June 2013 and the Company achieved its budgeted revenue of $4.4mil and profit after tax of $96k for the year ended 30 June 2013. The Company did not meet its Board approved budget revenue and profit targets for FY2013 and accordingly the Performance Rights have now lapsed.

No options or performance rights were issued to executives or staff during the year ended 30 June 2013 (2012: nil).

Employment contracts

The CEO has a formal service agreement with the Group.

The incentive is subject to a specific annual agreement between the parties so as to reflect relevant circumstances at the time. No bonus was payable to the CEO for the 2013 financial year.

Contractors are employed on contracts which are generally terminable on either party giving one month’s written notice.

  • The Board has determined that subject to approval by its shareholders and any other approvals that may be required, for the purposes of an LTI, Mr Crean will be issued with:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR

THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The consolidated financial report of AdEffective Limited (the Company or AdEffective ) and controlled entities (the Group ) for the year ended 30 June 2013 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 30 September 2013.

AdEffective is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 . For the purposes of preparing the financial statements, AdEffective Limited is a for profit entity.

The financial report covers AdEffective and controlled entities as a consolidated entity. AdEffective is a listed public company, limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The financial report has been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention and, except where stated, does not take into account changing money values or current valuations of non-current assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.

The following is a summary of material accounting policies adopted by the consolidated entity in the preparation and presentation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

Comparatives have been restated where appropriate to ensure consistency and comparability with the current year.

(c) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are those of the consolidated entity, comprising the financial statements of the parent entity and of all entities, which AdEffective Limited controlled from time to time during the year and at balance date.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies, which may exist. All inter-company balances and transactions, including any unrealised profits or losses have been eliminated on consolidation.

(d) Going concern basis of accounting

The Group generated a profit of $45,471 (2012: net loss of $1,649,942) and net cash inflows from operations of $210,234 (2012: outflows of $424,440) for the year ended 30 June 2013.

The Directors are confident that the combination of careful management of overheads, continued sustained revenue from AdFeed, successful completion of the e-commerce asset purchases, and the potential to raise capital should circumstances require, provides sufficient funds to meet ongoing capital requirements of the Group and the Company for the foreseeable future.

Whilst there is significant uncertainty, the Directors consider it appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis as they are satisfied that based on the factors outlined above, the Group will be able to meet its debts as and when they become due and payable for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this report.

However without funding from positive operating cash flows and if the Company were unable to raise capital if required, there would be a material uncertainty as to whether the consolidated entity would be able to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it would be able to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business, and at the amounts stated in the financial report. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets amounts or to the amounts or classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

(e) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of the payment and excluding taxes or duty. The Group assesses its revenue from the provision of services to customers is recognised upon delivery of the service to the customer. Revenue from internet advertising is recognised on the basis of underlying performance of key contracted metrics, for which revenue is contracted.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at banks, short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less held at call with financial institutions and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

AdEffective Limited and Controlled Entities FY13 Annual Report

32 | P a g e

(g) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and/or any accumulated impairment losses, if any.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment annually by the Directors for events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists and where the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the assets are written down to their recoverable amount

Depreciation

The depreciable amounts of fixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis or diminishing balance basis as appropriate over their estimated useful lives commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

(h) Goodwill and intangibles

Goodwill

Goodwill on consolidation represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of net identifiable assets of the acquired entities at the date of acquisition.

Goodwill is not amortised but is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are initially measured at cost. The cost of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over their useful life and tested for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at each financial year end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, which is a change in accounting estimate. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in profit or loss in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset.

(i) Impairment of property, plant, equipment, goodwill and intangible assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information, If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of comprehensive income, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

(j) Income tax and other taxes

Current income tax expense is the tax payable on the current year’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.

AdEffective Limited and Controlled Entities FY13 Annual Report

33 | P a g e

(j) Income tax and other taxes (cont’d)

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

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognized directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

Tax Consolidation

AdEffective Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiary have formed an income tax consolidated group under tax consolidation legislation.

The head entity, AdEffective Limited and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The Group has applied the Group allocation approach in determining the appropriate amount of current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, AdEffective Limited also recognizes the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group.

Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-owned tax consolidated entities.

Other taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

When the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable.

Receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as part of operating cash flows.

(k) Financial instruments

Classification

The group classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: loans and receivables and financial liabilities. The classification of investments depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition.

Loans and Receivables

Loan and receivables are measured at fair value at inception and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities include trade payables, other creditors and loans from third parties including intercompany balances and loans from or other amounts due to director-related entities.

Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised fair value and carried at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.

AdEffective Limited and Controlled Entities FY13 Annual Report

34 | P a g e

(l) Foreign Currencies

Functional and Presentation Currency

The financial statements of each group entity are measured using its functional currency, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, as this is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.

Transactions and Balances

Transactions in foreign currencies of entities within the consolidated entity are translated into functional currency at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction.

Foreign currency monetary items that are outstanding at the reporting date (other than monetary items arising under foreign currency contracts where the exchange rate for that monetary item is fixed in the contract) are translated using the spot rate at the end of the financial year.

Resulting exchange differences arising on settlement or re-statement are recognised as revenues and expenses for the financial year.

Group Companies

The financial statements of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:

  • Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;

  • Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and

  • All resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the group’s foreign currency translation reserve as a separate component of equity in the balance sheet.

(m) Comparatives

Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures.

(n) Convertible notes

The component of convertible notes that exhibits characteristics of a liability is recognised as a liability in the balance sheet, net of transaction costs.

On issuance of the convertible note, the fair value of the liability component is determined using a market rate for an equivalent convertible bond and this amount is carried as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or redemption. The increase in the liability due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option that is recognised and included in shareholder’s equity, net of transaction costs. The carrying amount of the conversion option is not remeasured in subsequent years.

Interest on the liability component of the instrument is recognised as an expense in profit and loss.

Transaction costs are apportioned between the liability and equity components of the convertible note based on the allocation of proceeds to the liability and equity component when the instruments are first recognised.

(o) Share based payments

Equity settled transactions

The Group provides benefits to the directors in the form of share options under the AdEffective Share Option Plan. These are equity settled transactions under Australian Accounting Standards.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with directors is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using the binomial option model, further details of which are given in note 17.

AdEffective Limited and Controlled Entities FY13 Annual Report

35 | P a g e

(o) Share based payments (cont’d)

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any non-market vesting conditions.

The charge to the statement of comprehensive income for the period is the cumulative amount as calculated less the amounts already charged in previous periods. There is a corresponding entry to equity.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share (see note 9).

(p) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash, receivables and other receivables, payables and other payables.

The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks, including interest rate risk in accordance with the Group’s financial risk management policy. The objective of the policy is to support the delivery of the Group’s financial targets whilst protecting future financial security.

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate risk and assessments of market forecasts for interest rates. Ageing analyses and monitoring of specific credit allowances are undertaken to manage credit risk. Liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future rolling cash flow forecasts.

The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below.

Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified below, including the setting of limits for interest rate risk, credit allowances and future cash flow forecast projections.

Risk exposures and responses

Interest rate risk

At balance date, the Group had the following financial asset exposed to Australian variable interest rate risk. The Group has no floating interest rate exposure on financial liabilities as the Group has no floating rate debt.

The Group constantly analyses its interest rate exposure. Within this analysis consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions, alternative financing and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates.

AdEffective Limited and Controlled Entities FY13 Annual Report

36 | P a g e

Interest rate risk (cont’d)

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the balance sheet date:

At 30 June 2013, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit/(loss) and other comprehensive income would have been affected as follows:

Post Tax Profit/(Loss) Post Tax Profit/(Loss) Other Comprehensive Other Comprehensive
Income
Higher/ (Lower) Higher/ (Lower)
2013 2012 2013 2012
$ $ $ $
Consolidated
+1% (100 basis points) 5,642 3,540 - -
-0.5% (50 basis points) (2,821) (1,770) - -

The movements in post-tax profit/(loss) and other comprehensive income are due to higher cash balances on hand as at 30 June 2013. The sensitivity is higher in 2013 than in 2012 as a result of higher cash holdings at 30 June 2103,

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Exposure at balance date is addressed in each applicable note.

The Group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties and as such collateral is not requested nor is it the Group’s policy to securitise its trade and other receivables.

It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are assessed as to creditworthiness, including an assessment of their independent credit rating, financial position, past experience and industry reputation. Risk limits are set for individual customers.

There were two customers with $417,767 making up 95% of the trade receivables balance at 30 June 2013.

In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.

Foreign currency risk

The Group generates its revenue and major purchases denominated in United States dollars. Hence, the Group’s statement of financial position can be affected significantly by movements in the US$/A$ exchange rates. The Group do not have a hedge policy in place.

Approximately 49.6% of the Group’s sales and 55.3% of costs are denominated in US$ whilst 44.7% of costs are denominated in the functional currencies.

At balance date, the Group had the following exposure to US$ foreign currency that is not designated in cash flow hedges:

Foreign currency risk (cont’d)

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the foreign currency risk exposures in existence at the balance sheet date:

At 30 June 2013, if Australian Dollar had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post tax profit/(loss) and other comprehensive income would have been affected as follows:

Post Tax Profit/(Loss) Post Tax Profit/(Loss) Other Comprehensive Other Comprehensive
Income
Higher/ (Lower) Higher/ (Lower)
2013 2012 2013 2012

AUD to US Dollar -15% (2012: -15%) 8,997 (39,550) - -

The movements in post-tax profit/(loss) and other comprehensive income are due to lower net exposure balance as at 30 June 2013. The sensitivity is lower in 2013 than in 2012 because net exposure balance for 2013 is lower.

Liquidity risk

The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank facilities, a convertible note facility and equity raisings.

At 30 June 2013, 100% of the Group’s financial liabilities will mature in less than one year (2012:

100%).

The table below reflects all contractually fixed payables and receivables for settlement, repayments and interest resulting from recognised financial assets and liabilities. The respective undiscounted cash flows for the respective upcoming fiscal periods are presented. Cash flows for financial assets and liabilities without fixed amount or timing are based on the conditions existing at 30 June 2013.

The remaining contractual maturities of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities are:

Maturity analysis of financial assets and liabilities based on management’s expectation.

Management’s expectation reflects a balanced view of cash inflows and outflows. The Group’s assets mainly consist of cash and trade receivables with the liabilities consisting of trade payables from the ongoing operations of the service business. To monitor existing financial assets and liabilities as well as to enable an effective controlling of funding for the business, the Group has established risk reporting covering its business that reflect expectations of management of expected settlement of financial assets and liabilities.

All financial assets and liabilities are payable within six months of balance date. Accordingly, the book value of each liability is equivalent to its fair value.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Estimates and judgements are based on past performance and management’s expectations for the future.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

(a) Tax losses

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

The Group has $1,528,364 (2012: $1,479,938) of tax losses carried forward. The tax losses pre 2011 may not be used to offset future taxable income because they may not meet the continuity of ownership or same business tests. However, tax losses from FY2011 to FY2013 of $1,528,364 may be used to offset future taxable income as it meets the continuity of ownership and same business test.

39 | P a g e

The Group has made a maiden profit this financial year but due to the uncertainty of future taxable profits, the Group has determined that it cannot recognise deferred tax assets on the tax losses of 2012.

(b) Share-based payment transactions (performance rights)

The Company expensed the grant-date fair value of the performance rights over the vesting period from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2013. The performance rights only vested upon the achievement of the performance conditions and management took into account the probability of achievement of the performance conditions in determining the expense. The rights were to vest only if the relevant Director was continuously employed until 30 June 2013 and the Company achieved its Board approved budget revenue of $4.4mil and profit after tax of $96k for the year ended 30 June 2013.

The fair value of the performance rights granted at grant date was $0.011 per the ASX daily closing price on the date of the AGM.

As at 30 June 2013, the Company reversed the performance rights expense of $12,857 recognised in half year ended 31 December 2012 due to the fact that the vesting conditions were not met and the rights have lapsed as at 30 June 2013. Refer note 18.

Tax Loss Deferred Tax Asset recognition

Deferred tax assets will only be recognised if:

  • a) future assessable income is derived of a nature and amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions to be realised;

  • b) the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation are complied with; and

  • c) no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the consolidated entity in realising the benefit.

Unused tax losses for which no deferred tax asset has been recognised comprise current year estimated tax losses only and are not yet confirmed.

Tax losses pre 2011 are not recognised because they are not expected to meet the continuity of ownership and same business tests.

Unrecognised temporary differences

At 30 June 2013 there are no temporary differences recognised in the balance sheet, on the basis of an assessment that recovery through future taxable income of those amounts is not probable at 30 June 2013 (2012: nil).

Tax consolidation

AdEffective and its 100% owned subsidiaries are part of an income tax consolidated group.

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing net profit/(loss) for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net profit/(loss) for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

The following reflects the income and share data used in the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Consolidated Consolidated
2013 2012
Basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share 0.02 cents (1.35) cents
Net profit/(loss) for the year 45,471 ($1,649,942)
Weighted average number of ordinary shares used in
calculating basic earnings per share 207,901,921 121,825,174
Weighted average number of ordinary shares used in
calculating diluted earnings per share 207,901,921 121,825,174

In 2012 potential ordinary shares were considered anti-dilutive as they reduced the loss per share.

Independent auditor's report to the members of AdEffective Limited

Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of AdEffective Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2013, 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, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year's end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors' responsibility for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards .

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial report 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 entity's internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

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

Independence

In conducting our audit we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the directors’ report

Opinion

In our opinion:

  • a. the financial report of Adeffective Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • i giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 30 June 2013 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • ii complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and

  • b. the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 2.

Material uncertainty regarding continuation as a going concern

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2 (d) in the financial report which indicates the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the consolidated entity being successful in generating continued positive operating cashflows, and if required, its capacity to raise capital to fund the Company’s operations and growth plans.

Accordingly without funding from positive operating cashflows and if the Company were unable to raise capital if required, there would be material uncertainty as to whether the consolidated entity would be able to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it would be able to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business, and at the amounts stated in the financial report. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets amounts or to the amounts or classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

Report on the remuneration report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 14 to 17 of the directors' report for the year ended 30 June 2013. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of AdEffective Limited for the year ended 30 June 2013 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
