OMT Annual Report 2016
Chairman’s Letter and Review
1 Chairman’s Letter
Dear Shareholders
On behalf of Omni Market Tide Ltd ( OMT ), we present our second annual report.
There were a number of developments throughout the period from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016, all designed and implemented to advance the interest of all stakeholders of the Company. The most significant of those developments was OMT’s own annual general meeting on 30 May 2016. OMT’s AGM was a watershed moment not just for OMT, but also corporate Australia, as it was the very first virtual real-time AGM for any listed company in Australia. OMT remains more confident than ever that the future model and method of shareholder meetings will be the model and method adopted by OMT for its AGM on 30 May 2016. In OMT’s opinion, it is no longer a question of whether or not listed companies will move to this format, but rather a question of when.
Accordingly, OMT remains focused on commercialising a vision that every listed company, every organisation, every voting body, will one day engage their stakeholders using mobile device technologies. Through the commercialisation of that vision, we intend to deliver sustainable value to our investors.
Despite the success of OMT’s AGM, the company has experienced a number of challengers and changes, including changes at the leadership level. Moving forward, OMT will relocate its business from Melbourne to Brisbane, and continue to build its business so that it can become the leader in digital engagement for Australian listed and unlisted companies. In the meantime, should any corporate events or opportunities accelerate OMT’s ability to achieve this objective, those events or opportunities will be pursued with vigour.
On behalf of the rest of our Board of Directors, thank you for your continued support.
Kind regards

Year in review
There were a number of changes throughout the period from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016, all designed and implemented to advance the interest of all stakeholders of the Company. In particular, OMT became the first ASX listed company to hold a realtime virtual annual shareholders meeting on 30 May 2016. This was a significant development for the Company. The Company remains committed to working with other listed and unlisted companies as they move closer to real-time virtual meetings.
On 5 July 2016, the Company replaced its leadership team and appointed a new Chief Executive Officer. The Company wanted to drive revenue through more sales, but felt that the sales capability within the Company wasn’t at the level it needed to be. The Company invested in developing this sales capability, and at the same time, broadened its product offering by developing new products that it could also sell to potential OMT clients.
Accordingly, on 28 September 2016, the Company released to the market four (4) new products called OmniCorp, OmniPeople, OmniMember and OmniComm, whilst continuing its development of another new product called OmniStock.
OmniCorp – was developed for unlisted companies and allows them to meet regulatory, governance and compliance requirements.
OmniPeople – was developed for employee engagement and management. Features of this product include on boarding new employees, training, compliance, occupational health and safety, leave, payroll and surveys.
OmniMember – was developed for membership based organisations that allows digital stakeholder engagement for clubs and loyalty organisations, providing push notification on changes, emergencies and member news.
OmniComm – was developed for community groups, and is a product designed to help local government and large community groups to connect, communicate and engage with their stakeholders. On 10 October 2016, the Company delivered its first employee application to the Townsville City Council ( TCC ). The Company successfully completed its contract with TCC and will seek an on-going relationship with TCC that is commercially viable for both TCC and the Company.
On 5 October 2016, the Company successfully completed a capital raising of $250,000 by way of a convertible note(s), noting that the terms of which were announced to the market on that day. Then on 19 October 2016, the Company announced the terms of its potential acquisition of RightCrowd ( RightCrowd Transaction ), and because of this transaction, was suspended from official quotation of the ASX. The RightCrowd Transaction provided all the stakeholders of OMT with a significant opportunity to be a part of a combined asset base that would ultimately underpin the global operations of one of the highest-quality technology companies to originate from Australia.
Accordingly, from 19 October 2016, the Company was very focused on completing the RightCrowd Transaction (Transaction), and worked closely with RightCrowd to successfully complete the Transaction. Again, this transaction was a unique and significant opportunity for all OMT shareholders. On 25 November 2016, the Company provided an update to the market on the Transaction, and in this announcement, explained that in order to successfully complete the Transaction, a change in the leadership post completion of the Transaction was required, in particular, that the Chief Executive Officer of the combined entities (post completion of the RightCrowd Transaction) needed to be RightCrowd’s Chief Executive, so the Company’s Chief Executive Officer finished with the Company on 25 November 2016.
OMT, RightCrowd and Morgans Corporate Limited all worked closely together to successfully close the RightCrowd Transaction, including RightCrowd contracting with OMT to build out the mobile suite of the RightCrowd products prior to completion of the deal. These arrangements were put in place to commence the seamless integration of the two (2) businesses post completion, and this arrangement worked well for both companies.

Chairman’s Letter and Review
Year in Review (Continued)
From 25 November 2016 onwards, the Company worked hard to complete the Transaction, but on 13 February 2017, the Company had to announce that the Transaction had to be mutually terminated.
As announced to the market on 1 March 2017, the Company held its extra-ordinary general meeting and passed two (2) resolutions which were unrelated to the RightCrowd Transaction.
OMT remains focused on commercialising a vision that every listed company, every organisation, every voting body, will one day engage their stakeholders using mobile device technologies. Through the commercialisation of that vision, we intend to deliver sustainable value to our investors. But in the meantime, the Company continues with its process to relocate the business from Melbourne to Brisbane, whilst at the same time, completing a review of its product(s) line and assessing various funding options.

Events after the reporting date
On 13 February 2017, the Company announced the mutual termination of the proposed acquisition of the RightCrowd business (Business) (via the purchase of 100% of the shares in Sentrii Pty Ltd) first announced to the market on 19 October 2016 (Transaction). This was because on 10 February 2017, the ASX confirmed that it will not grant their approval to the structure of the Transaction on the basis that the Business is a Classified Asset (as defined in the ASX Listing Rules), and consequently the proposed cash consideration cannot be paid for the Business at completion of the Transaction. The Transaction could therefore not proceed.
On 17 February 2017, the Company announced that with respect to the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) to be held on 1 March 2017, the Company confirms that the meeting will proceed, but resolutions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9 will not be put to the meeting, only resolutions 7 and 8. That is, all resolutions linked to the RightCrowd Transaction will not be considered at the meeting (including 2 resolutions regarding the consolidation of capital), and those resolutions not linked to the RightCrowd Transaction are to be considered by shareholders at the EGM (being only resolutions 7 and 8).
On 28 February 2017, the Company released its unaudited preliminary final results for the year ended 31 December 2016.
Other than the above matters, and the commentary on Going Concern in Note 2, there has not been any matter or circumstance occurring subsequent to the end of the financial year that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operation of the entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the entity in future financial years.

17 Non-audit services
The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services provided during the financial period, by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor’s behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.
The Directors are of the opinion that the services do not compromise the external auditor’s independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
-
All non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
-
None of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.
The following fees for non-audit services were paid to the external auditors during the year ended 31 December 2016:

Directors’ Report
There were no other changes after the reporting date and before the date the financial report was authorised for issue.
19.3 Remuneration Framework
Due to the size of the Company, the role of remuneration committee is performed by the Board. It is primarily responsible for:
-
The over-arching executive remuneration framework;
-
Remuneration levels of executives; and
-
Non-executive director fees.
The remuneration packages of directors and key management personnel of Omni Market Tide Ltd have been designed to align director and other key management personnel objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific performance pay incentives based on key performance areas affecting the entity’s financial results where the Board deems such incentives to be appropriate. The Board of Omni Market Tide Ltd believes this remuneration methodology to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best key management personnel and directors to run and manage the business, as well as create goal congruence between directors, other key management personnel and shareholders.
The Board determines the nature and the amount of remuneration for Board members and key management personnel of the entity as detailed below.
The non-executive directors and executives based in Australia receive the superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9.5%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits.
All remuneration paid to directors and other key management personnel is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed.
19.4 Executive Remuneration Arrangements
All key management personnel may receive a base salary, superannuation, fringe benefits (if applicable) and performance pay incentives (if applicable).
The performance pay plan is reviewed by the Board. Objectives for the key management personnel are set by the Board. Key management personnel packages are reviewed annually by reference to the entity’s performance, key management personnel performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.
The performance of key management personnel is measured against criteria agreed annually with each key management personnel, and is in part based on the forecast growth of the entity’s profits and shareholders’ value. All bonuses and incentives must be linked to predetermined performance criteria. The Board may, however, exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives and bonuses. Any changes must be justified by reference to measurable performance criteria. The remuneration practices are designed to attract the highest calibre of key management personnel and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.

19.5 Executive Contractual Arrangements
Remuneration and other terms of employment for the Managing Director and all other key management positions held have been formalised in service agreements. The main provisions of the agreements in relation to directors holding management roles (only Mr Steve Terry, Managing Director) are set out below.
Mr. Steve Terry, Managing Director (Appointed 1 August 2016, resigned 25 November 2016)
Base terms
-
Mr Terry received a salary of AUD 400,000 per annum for his role as Managing Director of the Company.
-
Mr Terry was to be granted 10,000,000 Class B Performance Shares under the terms of the Agreement subject to shareholder approval. As Mr Terry subsequently resigned in November 2016 the Performance Shares lapsed.

19.6 Non-executive Director Remuneration Arrangements
The Board’s policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at a rate that reflects the Company’s current stage of development, remaining cognisant of market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities.
Remuneration of the non-executive directors is made on this basis and is reviewed annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought where required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to nonexecutive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at general meeting. For the financial period ended 31 December 2016, and in respect of each financial year thereafter and until otherwise determined by a resolution of shareholders, the maximum aggregate remuneration payable by the Company to all Non-Executive Directors of the Company for their services as Directors including their services on a Board committee or sub-committee and including superannuation is limited to $250,000 per annum.
The total remuneration packages inclusive of superannuation benefits for the NonExecutive Directors are as follows:

| Board fees | $ per annum |
|---|---|
| Chairman | 25,000 |
| Other Non-Executive Directors | 25,000 |
| Committee fees | $ per annum |
|---|---|
| Committee Chairman | No additional fees |
| Other Committee Members | No additional fees |
All Non-Executive Directors enter into a service agreement with the Company in the form of a letter of appointment. The letter summarises the Board policies and terms, including remuneration, relevant to the office of Director.
19.7 Relationship of Reward and Performance
Steve Terry was issued Performance Shares (Class B) as a component of his remuneration as Managing Director. The ultimate value to Mr Terry of the Performance Shares depends on the share price of Omni Market Tide Ltd. Mrs Boston’s Performance Shares will convert into fully-paid ordinary shares in the Company as and when the Company’s volume weighted average share price ( VWAP ) reaches and periodically maintains certain value thresholds.
As is detailed in the below sections of this Directors Report, certain Non-Executive Directors also hold, indirectly, Performance Shares (Class A). The Performance Shares were issued to Non-Executive Directors as a component of the consideration paid as part of the Acquisition of GRT App. Mr Glenn Vassallo, Mr Kenneth Pickard, and Mr Ross BlairHolt were all also GRT App Vendors. The terms of these Performance Shares are dealt with below.
19.8 Company performance, shareholder wealth, and director and executive remuneration
There is no link between the gross revenue, profits and dividends for the last four years for the Company as well as the share price at the end of the respective financial years, due to the change in the nature of operations of the business in 2015.
19.9 Share-based remuneration
There were nil options issued during the period to key management personnel in connection with remuneration. Options may be issued to key management personnel as part of their remuneration. The options are issued to key management personnel of Omni Market Tide Limited and its subsidiaries to increase goal congruence between key management personnel and shareholders, and are partly based on performance criteria.
Steve Terry received share-based payment in the form of Performance Shares (Class B). The terms of issue of the Class B Performance Shares are dealt with below.
For Class B Performance Shares, the Company’s volume weighted average share price ( VWAP ) is the key performance criteria. The Class B Performance Shares will convert into fully-paid ordinary shares as VWAP thresholds are reached and periodically maintained by the Company (detailed further below). Class B Performance Shares were issued to Steve Terry (Managing Director) in the amounts specified in the table below.
20
OMT Annual Report 2016

Steve Terry was the only Director to receive Performance Shares as a component of remuneration. The grant of the 10,000,000 Performance shares was subject to shareholder approval and was not proceeded with following the resignation of Mr Terry in November 2016.
No Class B Performance Shares were converted during the period ended 31 December 2016.
All Class B Performance Share hurdles must be met on or before 31 December 2018. No value has been allocated to the Class B Performance Shares due to the significant uncertainty of meeting the two performance milestones which are based on future events.

21.2 Class A Performance Shares
There were no Class A Performance Shares issued during the period ended 31 December 2016.
Class A Performance Shares are tied to audited revenue as the key performance criteria.

Given the Company’s long-term growth is largely determined by commercialisation of the Company’s stakeholder engagement platform and associated technologies, the Class A Performance Shares are subject to performance hurdles measured against audited revenue of the business.
The quantum of distribution of the Class A Performance Shares on issue is detailed in the table below.
None of the Performance Shares were converted into fully-paid ordinary shares during the reporting Period or prior to the release of this annual report.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016
1. REPORTING ENTITY
Omni Market Tide Ltd (formerly SWW Energy Ltd) is a listed public company incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 December 2016 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “consolidated entity” or “Group”).
The consolidated financial statements were authorised by the Board of Directors on the date of signing of the Directors’ Declaration.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
Omni Market Tide Ltd is a company limited by shares. The financial report is presented in Australian currency. Omni Market Tide Ltd is a for-profit entity.
Historical Cost Convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Significant Judgements and Key Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with AASBs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are included in the following notes:
Note 15: Issued Capital
No value has been allocated to the Class A Performance Shares due to the significant uncertainty of meeting the two performance milestones.
New or revised Standards and Interpretations that are first effective in the current reporting period
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current reporting period.
The adoption of all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in any changes to the consolidated entity’s accounting policies and has had no effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior periods.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONTINUED)
Impact of standards issued but not yet applied by the entity
There were no new standards issued since the beginning of the period that have been applied by Omni Market Tide Limited. The previous annual report disclosed that Omni Market Tide Limited anticipated no material impacts (amounts recognised and/or disclosed) arising from initial application of those standards issued but not yet applied at that date, and this remains the assessment as at 31 December 2016.
Going Concern
For the year ended 31 December 2016, the Group generated a consolidated loss of $4,490,934 and incurred operating cash outflows of $3,651,460. As at 31 December 2016, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of $187,739, a deficit of net current assets of $223,776 and deficit of net assets of $326,100.
The ability of the entity to continue as a going concern is dependent on securing additional funds through equity to continue to fund development of their current applications. After the company announced the termination of the RightCrowd Transaction on 13 February 2017, the company has received a number of commercial/funding proposals from various parties. The board is currently considering the terms of those proposals and is likely to pursue the one that is in the best interests of all stakeholders of OMT. The board has a reasonable basis to conclude that OMT will be able to secure additional funding to continue as a going concern.
Current conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the entity is a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business for the following reasons:
-
The entity has obtained a signed conditional mandate providing an external party with the right to raise up to $1,220,000 (net of issue costs) in funding through equity, for which verbal bids from sophisticated investors has been received for the full amount;
-
The majority of creditors have provided confirmation that they will extend payment terms until such time that the entity has the ability to pay;
-
Non-Executive Directors have resolved to delay collection of fees payable until such time that the entity has the ability to pay;
-
The company has access to up to $150,000 in further funding through a hybrid facility with a member of the board; and
-
In the interim, the company can reduce its expenditure below current levels to conserve cash.
Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Company in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
49
OMT ANNUAL REPORT 2016
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Basis of Preparation
(a) Reporting Basis and Conventions
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, and financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied. All amounts are in Australian dollars, unless otherwise stated.
(b) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Omni Market Tide Ltd and its subsidiary (the Group) as at 31 December 2016 or for any time during the year.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.
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.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset.
(c) Revenue Recognition
Sales revenue comprises revenue earned (net of returns, discounts and allowances) from the sale of goods or provision of services to entities outside the Company. Rendering of services - Rendering of services revenue from App development charges is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contracts. Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method. It includes the amortisation of any discount or premium. The revenue is recognised over the time the interest is earned.
(d) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(e) Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the Company determines whether there is any indication that assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(f) Income Tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither account nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that they probably will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Omni Market Tide Ltd and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiary have not formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime.
(g) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits held at call with banks.
(h) Financial Instruments
Recognition
Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.
Impairment
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. Any impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(i) Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
(j) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company.
(k) Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, cash and short-term deposits.
The Company manages its exposure to key financial risks, including interest rate and currency risk in accordance with the Company’s financial risk management policy. The objective of the policy is to support the delivery of the Company’s financial targets whilst protecting future financial security.
The main risks arising from the company financial instruments are interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. The Company 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 and foreign exchange risk and assessments of market forecasts for interest rate, foreign exchange and commodity prices. 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 Audit, Compliance and Risk Management Committee under authority of the Board. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified, including the setting of limits for credit allowances and future cash flow forecast projections.
(l) Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which has been identified by the Company as the Managing Director and other members of the Board of directors.
(m) Employee Entitlements
The Company’s liability for employee entitlements arising from services rendered by employees to reporting date is recognised in provisions. Employee entitlements expected to be settled within one year together with entitlements arising from wages and salaries, and annual leave which will be settled within one year, have been measured at their nominal amount and include related on-costs.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(n) Earnings Per Share
(i) Basic Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the net loss attributable to the equity holder of the Company after income tax by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.
(ii) Diluted Earnings Per Share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in determination of basic earnings per share by taking into account amounts unpaid on ordinary shares and any reduction in earnings per share that will arise from the exercise of options outstanding during the year.
(o) Trade and Other Receivables
Receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for doubtful debts. Current receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. Cash on deposit is not due for settlement until rights of tenure are forfeited or performance obligations are met.
(p) Trade and Other Payables
Trade payables and other payables are carried at cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial period that are unpaid and arise when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(q) Contributed Equity
Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.
(r) Contingent Liabilities
A contingent loss is recognised as an expense and a liability if it is probable that future events will confirm that after taking into account any related probable recovery, an asset has been impaired or a liability incurred and, a reasonable estimate of the amount of the resulting loss can be made.
(s) Issued Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax from the proceeds.
(t) Research and Development
The Company expenses all research costs as incurred. The amounts incurred in respect of development costs are only recognised as a development asset when there is a high probability that the Company will have the ability to generate sales with respect to that asset.
Following initial recognition of development expenditure as a development asset, the asset is carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Consideration of amortisation of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. Currently development has not yet been finalised. Amortisation is recorded in other expenses. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(u) Share-Based Payment Arrangements
Goods or services received or acquired in share-based payment transactions are recognised as an increase in equity if the goods or services were received in an equity-settled share-based payment transaction or as a liability if the goods and services were acquired in a cash settled share-based payment transaction.
For equity-settled share-based transactions, goods or services received are measured directly at the fair value of the goods or services received provided this can be estimated reliably. If a reliable estimate cannot be made the value of the goods or services is determined indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity instrument granted using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.
Transactions with employees and others providing similar services are measured by reference to the fair value at grant date of the equity instrument granted using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
(v) Plant and Equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists and where the carrying amount values exceeds the estimated recoverable amount the assets are written down to the recoverable amounts.
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight line basis or diminishing value (whichever is more appropriate) over their useful lives to the entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
The effective lives used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Receivables past due but not considered impaired are $nil (2015: $nil).
Other balances within trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due.
Due to the short-term nature of the current receivables, their carrying amount is assumed to be the same as their fair value.
Information about the impairment of trade and other receivables, their credit quality and the group's exposure to credit risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk can be found in Note 24.

Impairment testing
During the year the Directors determined to impair the capitalised development expenditure relating to the Company’s stakeholder engagement applications. Whilst there has been considerable interest in the applications from a wide range of potential customers, conversion of sales leads into revenue generating contracts has been slower than anticipated and the Company did not record any revenue from sale or licencing of its applications in the first half of the year. Taking these factors into consideration it was determined by the Company’s directors, in accordance with the applicable Australian accounting standards, to impair the previously capitalised intangible assets relating to capitalised development costs resulting in an impairment charge of $520,816 being recorded in the Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive income for the year.

23. EVENTS OCCURING AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
On 13 February 2017, the Company announced the mutual termination of the proposed acquisition of the RightCrowd business (Business) (via the purchase of 100% of the shares in Sentrii Pty Ltd) first announced to the market on 19 October 2016 (Transaction).
This was because on 10 February 2017, the ASX confirmed that it will not grant their approval to the structure of the Transaction on the basis that the Business is a Classified Asset (as defined in the ASX Listing Rules), and consequently the proposed cash consideration cannot be paid for the Business at completion of the Transaction. The Transaction could therefore not proceed.
On 17 February 2017, the Company announced that with respect to the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) to be held on 1 March 2017, the Company confirms that the meeting will proceed, but resolutions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9 will not be put to the meeting, only resolutions 7 and 8. That is, all resolutions linked to the RightCrowd Transaction will not be considered at the meeting (including 2 resolution regarding the consolidation of capital), and those resolutions not linked to the RightCrowd Transaction are to be considered by shareholders at the EGM (being only resolutions 7 and 8).
Other than the above matters, and the commentary on Going Concern in Note 2, there has not been any matter or circumstance occurring subsequent to the end of the financial year that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operation of the entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the entity in future financial years.
24. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The entity’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivables and payable.
1. Treasury Risk Management
An Audit, Compliance and Risk Committee consist of board members who meet to analyse financial risk exposure, and to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts.
The board’s overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the entity in meeting its financial targets, whilst minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance.
Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the board. These include the use of credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements.
2. Financial Risk Exposures and Management
The main risks the entity is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk and foreign exchange rate risk.
The entity is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies arising from the purchase of services in currencies other than the entity’s measurement currency.
(a) Interest rate risk
The entity is exposed to interest rate risk at the date of this report via its cash holdings.
The entity does not currently have any formal policies in place regarding interest rate risk as it is not considered significant.

OMT ANNUAL REPORT 2016
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016
24. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
(b) Liquidity risk
The entity manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring sufficient cash reserves are on hand to meet obligations.
(c) Credit risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at reporting date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.
The entity does not currently have any formal policies in place regarding credit risk as it is not considered significant.
The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available).

(e) Fair Value Measurement
For all assets and liabilities net fair value approximates their carrying value. No financial assets and financial liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form other than listed investments of which the entity has no holdings in. Financial assets where the carrying amount exceeds net fair values have not been written down as the Company intends to hold these assets to maturity. The aggregate net fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed in the statement of financial position and in the notes to the financial statements.
There are no financial assets or liabilities that are carried at fair value in the financial statements therefore no additional disclosures have been made with respect to fair value measurement.

No deferred tax assets have been recognised as it is not probable within the immediate future that tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
The benefit for tax losses will only be obtained if:
-
the Company derives future assessable income in Australia of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from deductions for the losses to be realised;
-
the Company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation in Australia; and
-
there are no changes in tax legislation in Australia which will adversely affect the Company in realising the benefit from deductions for the losses.
27. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The consolidated entity is organised into one main operating segment. All of the consolidated entity’s activities are interrelated and discrete financial information is reported to the Board (Chief Operating Decision Maker) as a single segment. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the consolidated entity as one segment. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the consolidated entity as a whole.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the members of Omni Market Tide Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Omni Market Tide Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion 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 2016 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 2 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd and BDO Australia Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation, other than for the acts or omissions of financial services licensees.
==> picture [78 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
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 of the current period. Except for the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our report.
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2016, but does not include the financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
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.
