Company Secretary

The company secretary is P Torre CA, AGIA, MAICD. Mr Torre was appointed to the position of company secretary in March 2017. Mr Torre is the principal of Torre Corporate, a specialist corporate advisory firm providing corporate secretarial services to a range of listed companies.

Principal Activities

The entity's principal activities are focussed on the sale and deployment of its patent-pending artificial intelligence system.

Review of Operations

The 2018/19 year was transformational for OpenDNA with the Company commercialising applications for its Artificial Intelligence System ("AIS") and Machine Learning platform, while growing revenue and its customer base.

The Company completed the acquisition of RooLife Limited ("RooLife"), CHOOSE Digital Pty Ltd ("CHOOSE Digital") in December 2018 and most recently (in April 2019) Blackglass Pty Ltd ("Blackglass") and incorporated OpenDNA's AIS into the products and services provided by these companies.

The OpenDNA group now provides fully integrated digital marketing and customer acquisition services focused on driving online sales of products and services by better understanding the customer and provides these services to a growing list of companies and brands.

The Company's fully integrated digital marketing capabilities focus on the development and implementation of customer acquisition strategies, helping businesses make the most of their online positioning.

The Company has expanded its digital services and capability to work with businesses to market their products online and grow brand awareness and sales in Australia and China.

Through personalised, real-time, targeted marketing focussed on driving sales in Australia and also in China via the Company's Roolife online e-Commerce marketplace, OpenDNA assists businesses to sell directly to Chinese consumers, processing payment via the WeChat and Alipay mobile payments platforms.

Commencing in December 2018 OpenDNA has been able to rapidly build a diverse, high-quality customer base with multiple revenue streams which are expected to contribute to the growth and reach of the Company's operations in both Australia and China.

The Company provides Australian businesses with access to Mandarin-language mobile shopping platforms with integrated Chinaspecific mobile payment processing via WeChat or AliPay with enhanced customer intelligence provided by OpenDNA's AIS and machinelearning platform.

Review of Operations (continued)

OpenDNA is able to seamlessly process the purchase of products and services from WeChat and Alipay made by Chinese in Australia in AUD or CNY, optimising the Company's position with foreign exchange transactions.

The service optimises transactions between RooLife's merchants and customers in Australia, delivering fast settlement, via an Australian domestic funds transfer to the merchant's Australian account in AUD from WeChat and Alipay payment transactions made by Chinese when in Australia.

Utilising OpenDNA's AIS, RooLife's e-Commerce platforms are able to continuously assess and refine the products offered to customers and gather intelligence about customers' preferences and buying habits.

With the integration of OpenDNA's AIS the Company is positioned to build unrivalled customer intelligence and access to new customer opportunities across multiple industry sectors to drive further revenue growth.

In April 2019, the Company announced the acquisition of digital marketing company, Blackglass, extending the Group's digital marketing expertise and capability to service the online marketing, customer acquisition and profiling requirements of its customers and the Company's own RooLife business.

The Company rationalised the Group's operations and geographic footprint and has now established offices in Sydney, Perth, Singapore and China focussed on servicing its clients' requirements in these jurisdictions.

In the last six months of the financial year OpenDNA entered into agreements with a number of pharmaceutical and skincare product providers to sell well- known and widely distributed products from Australian manufacturers into China. These products are sold widely through pharmacies in Australia and are expected to have strong market appeal in China through the RooLife platforms.

OpenDNA's RooLife provides all requirements for brands to sell their products in China including licencing, marketing, logistics, payment collection, processing and is able to provide valuable intelligent insights into customer buying behaviour.

In May, the Company appointed a distributor in China for the sale and distribution of its Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technology targeting e-Commerce applications.

During the year the Company developed its e-Commerce Artificial Intelligence Recommendation Engine, Daishu, which is used in its RooLife e-Commerce platform. Daishu is designed to optimise sales by making the most appropriate recommendations to online shoppers while providing valuable insights for its customers into consumer preferences and behaviours. This is invaluable to help profile the brand segments and products most suitable and in demand with online consumers and generate ongoing and recurring purchases.

The platform is expected to have wide application in China where consumers are early and eager tech adopters, which is reflected by smartphone penetration rates across China and the high percentage of sales which occur on mobile devices in China.

In the 2019/20 financial year OpenDNA is aiming to develop and grow its customer base across multiple industry verticals, expanding the application of its digital marketing, AI and e-Commerce capabilities both in Australia and China.

The Company is aiming to continue to:

  • Grow the high-quality customer base for its digital services in Australia;
  • Expand its digital services in China;
  • Assist Australian businesses and brands to successfully enter the China market; and

• Develop strategic sales partnerships in key verticals including Tourism & Airports, Diagou and Student channels and Online and Retail sales.

Operating results for the year

The Group has recorded a net loss after tax of $3,309,485 (30 June 2018: net loss after tax of $3,967,854).

Review of financial position

The net assets of the Group as at 30 June 2019 were $5,250,974 (30 June 2018: $2,666,368), comprised of the following key items:

  • Cash and cash equivalents $2,093,478 (30 June 2018: $669,840); and
  • Intangible assets of $3,616,597 (30 June 2018: $2,302,351).

Dividends

Significant events after balance date

There has not been any matter or circumstance that has arisen after balance date that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial periods.

Remuneration report

The Remuneration Report, which forms part of the Directors' report, outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for the Key Management Personnel of the Group for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 and is included on page 9.

Environmental legislation

The Group is not subject to any significant environmental legislation.

Indemnification and insurance of Directors and Officers

The Company has agreed to indemnify all the directors of the Company for any liabilities to another person (other than the Company or related body corporate) that may arise from their position as directors of the Company and its controlled entities, except where the liability arises out of conduct involving a lack of good faith.

During the financial year the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring the directors and officers of the Company and its controlled entities against any liability incurred in the course of their duties to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium.

Non-Audit Services

Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor are outlined in Note 22 to the financial statements. The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services 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 auditor's independence as all non-audit services have been reviewed to ensure that they do not impact the impartiality and objectivity of the auditor and none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in Code of Conduct APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board.

Auditor Independence and Non-Audit Services

Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 requires our auditors, HLB Mann Judd, to provide the directors of the Company with an Independence Declaration in relation to the audit of the annual report.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the directors.

Bryan Carr Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Perth, 5 September 2019

Remuneration report

This report, which forms part of the directors' report, outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for the key management personnel ("KMP") of OpenDNA Limited for the financial year ended 30 June 2019. The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by Section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001.

The remuneration report details the remuneration arrangements for KMP who are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Group.

Key Management Personnel

The directors and other key management personnel of the Group during or since the end of the financial year were:

Directors
G Pestell Non-Executive Chairman
E Cross Non-Executive Director
W Barry Executive Sales Director (appointed 20 December 2018)
B Carr Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (appointed 2 April 2019)
Jay Shah Non-Executive Director (ceased employment 2 April 2019)
Executives
G Irwin Chief Technical Officer
R Jarvis Chief Financial Officer (ceased employment 31 March 2019)
J Gray Chief Financial Officer (appointed 7 March 2019)

Except as noted, the named persons held their current positions for the whole of the financial year and since the financial year.

Remuneration philosophy

The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of the directors and executives. The philosophy of the Company in determining remuneration levels is to:

  • set competitive remuneration packages to attract and retain high calibre employees;
  • link executive rewards to shareholder value creation; and
  • establish appropriate, demanding performance hurdles for variable executive remuneration.

Other than the performance bonus scheme applicable to certain employees, remuneration is not linked to Group performance.

Remuneration Committee

The Company does not have a separate remuneration committee until such time as the board is of a sufficient size and structure, and the Company's operations are of a sufficient magnitude for a separate committee to be of benefit to the Company.

The full board carries out the duties that would ordinarily be assigned to that committee, ensuring that the level and composition of remuneration provided to attract and retain high quality directors and employees is commercially appropriate and targeted to align with the interests of the Company whilst not resulting in a conflict with the objectivity of its independent directors.

The board of directors of the Company is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors, the CEO and the executive team.

The board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of directors and executives on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with an overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high-quality Board and executive team.

Remuneration structure

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

Use of remuneration consultants

No external remuneration consultants were used in the year. However, the board is satisfied that remuneration levels are made free from undue influence from any members of key management personnel.

Non-executive director remuneration

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.

The Constitution of the Company provides that the directors may determine the remuneration of directors prior to the first annual general meeting of the Company. The fees determined by the directors are set out below. The ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The Company will seek the approval of shareholders in the event the directors' fees are increased beyond the levels stated.

The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst directors will be reviewed annually. The Board may consider advice from external shareholders as well as the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process.

Each Director receives a fee for being a director of the Company. An additional fee will also be paid for each board committee on which a director sits when such board committees are established. The payment of additional fees for serving on a committee recognises the additional time commitment required by directors who serve on one or more sub committees.

The Company has entered into non-executive director contracts for services with each of Messrs Pestell and Cross. Each such contract is on broadly similar terms, which include the following:

  • Term: Continuation of appointment is subject to and contingent upon the fulfilment of the obligations of a non-executive director under the ASX Listing Rules, the Constitution of the Company and the Corporations Act, and the successful re-election by the Company shareholders.
  • Fixed fee:
    • Mr Pestell: A$65,000 per annum plus superannuation;
    • Mr Cross: A$45,000 per annum plus superannuation; and
    • Mr Shah: A$45,000 per annum (from 20 December 2018 and ceased employment 2 April 2019)

The non-executive directors may be entitled to such additional fees or other amounts as the board determines (in its absolute discretion) where performing special duties or otherwise performing services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a director.

The non-executive directors may also be reimbursed for out of pocket expenses incurred as a result of their respective directorships or any special duties upon production of the relevant receipts, provided however that any individual expense exceeding $2,000 must not be incurred without the prior written consent of the board.

Role: The non-executive directors are expected to attend regular board meetings involving a minimum commitment of 10 hours per month, as well as attending the annual general meeting of the Company and informal meetings, and consider general correspondence from time to time.

Executive director and senior manager remuneration

Remuneration consists of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration (comprising short-term and long-term incentive schemes).

Fixed Remuneration

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the board. The process consists of a review of relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices. The board has access to external, independent advice where necessary.

Senior managers are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles and expense payment plans. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Group. The fixed remuneration component is detailed in the Key Management Personnel remuneration table for the year ended 30 June 2019.

Variable Remuneration

The objective of the short-term incentive program is to link the achievement of the Group's operational targets with the remuneration received by the executives charged with meeting those targets. The total potential short-term incentive available is set at a level so as to provide sufficient incentive to the senior manager to achieve the operational targets and such that the cost to the Group is reasonable in the circumstances.

The aggregate of annual payments available for executives across the Group is subject to the approval of the board. The Company also makes long term incentive payments to reward senior executives in a manner that aligns this element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth.

These financial statements are general purpose financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations and comply with other requirements of the law.

The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements for the Group. For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity.

The accounting policies detailed below have been consistently applied to all of the years presented unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the Group consisting of OpenDNA Limited and its subsidiaries.

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for available-for-sale investments which have been measured at fair value. Historical cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars.

The Company is a listed public Company, incorporated in Australia and operating in Australia, Singapore and South Africa. The entity's principal activities are focussed on the sale and deployment of its patent-pending artificial intelligence system.

(b) Adoption of new and revised standards

Standards and Interpretations applicable to 30 June 2019

In the year ended 30 June 2019, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group and effective for the current annual reporting period. Those which have a material impact on the Group are set out below

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

AASB 9 replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and makes changes to a number of areas including classification of financial instruments, measurements, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting model. The Group has adopted AASB 9 from 1 July 2018.

The standard introduced new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified dates and that are solely principal and interest.

A debt investment shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is to both hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified dates that are solely principal and interest as well as selling the asset on the basis of its fair value.

All other financial assets are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading or contingent consideration recognised in a business combination) in other comprehensive income ('OCI').

Despite these requirements, a financial asset may be irrevocably designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss to reduce the effect of, or eliminate, an accounting mismatch.

For financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity's own credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch).

New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management activities of the entity.

New impairment requirements use an 'expected credit loss' ('ECL') model to recognise an allowance. Impairment is measured using a 12 month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. For receivables, a simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected loss allowance is available.

Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(b) Adoption of new and revised standards (continued)

The Group has applied AASB 9 retrospectively with the effect of initially applying this standard recognised at the date of initial application, being 1 July 2018 and has elected not to restate comparative information accordingly, the information presented for 30 June 2018 has not been restated.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

AASB 15 replaces AASB 118 Revenue and AASB 111 Construction Contracts and related interpretations and it applies to all revenue arising from contracts with customers, unless those contracts are in the scope of other standards.

The Group has adopted AASB 9 from 1 July 2018.

AASB 15 establishes a single comprehensive income for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers.

AASB 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised, including in respect of multiple element arrangements. The core principle of AASB 15 is that it requires identification of distinct performance obligations within a transaction and associated transaction price allocation to these obligations. Revenue is recognised upon satisfaction of these performance obligations, which occur when control of goods or services is transferred, rather than on transfer of risks or rewards. Revenue received for a contract that includes a variable amount is subject to revised conditions for recognition, whereby it must be highly probable that no significant reversal of the variable component may occur when the uncertainties around its measurement are removed.

The core principle of AASB 15 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the Standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:

  • Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.
  • Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
  • Step 3: Determine the transaction price.
  • Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
  • Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The Group has adopted AASB 15 using the modified retrospective method of adoption (without practical expedients) with the effect of initially applying this standard recognised at the date of initial application, being 1 July 2018. Accordingly, the information presented for 30 June 2018 has not been restated. The application of AASB 15 had no effect as at 1 July 2018 as the Group had no contracts in place at that date. The acquisitions during the year of CHOOSE Digital, RooLife and Blackglass have required the Group to adopt this new accounting policy from the dates of acquisition..

Other than the above, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Company and, therefore, no material change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted

The Directors have also reviewed all Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted for the year ended 30 June 2019. Those which may have a material impact on the Group are set out below.

AASB 16 Leases

AASB 16 replaces AASB 117 Leases. AASB 16 removes the classification of leases as either operating leases of finance leases- for the lessee – effectively treating all leases as finance leases.

AASB 16 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2019.

Impact on operating leases

AASB 16 will change how the Group accounts for leases previously classified as operating leases under AASB 117, which were off-balance sheet. On initial application of AASB 16, for all leases (except as noted below), the Group will:

  • Recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position, initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments.
  • Recognise depreciation of right-of-use assets and interest on lease liabilities in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(b) Adoption of new and revised standards (continued)

• Separate the total amount of cash paid into a principal portion (presented within financing activities) and interest (presented within operating activities) in the consolidated cash flow statement.

Lease incentives (e.g. rent-free period) will be recognised as part of the measurement of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities whereas under AASB 117 they resulted in the recognition of a lease liability incentive, amortised as a reduction of rental expenses on a straight-line basis.

Under AASB 16, right-of-use assets will be tested for impairment in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets. This will replace the previous requirement to recognise a provision for onerous lease contracts.

For short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and office furniture), the Group will opt to recognise a lease expense on a straight-line basis as permitted by AASB 16.

The Group has elected not to early adopt AASB 16 but has conducted an assessment of the impact of the new standard and have determined that there is no material impact.

Other than the above, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted on the Company and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

(c) Statement of compliance

The financial report was authorised for issue on 5 September 2019.

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

(d) Significant accounting estimates and judgements

The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Impairment of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives:

The Group determines whether goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash generating units to which the goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are allocated. The assumptions used in this estimation of recoverable amount and the carrying amount of goodwill are discussed in Note 11.

Share-based payment transactions:

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and third parties by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black and Scholes model, using the assumptions detailed in Note 15.

Business combinations

Management uses valuation techniques when determining the fair values of certain assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination. In particular, the fair value of contingent consideration is dependent on the outcome of many variables including the acquirees' future profitability. For the business combinations during the current year as set out in Note 17, the initial accounting is incomplete as the Company is currently finalising the allocation of the initial excess consideration. This allocation will be finalised when the 31 December 2019 half yearly financial report is produced and the provisional amounts noted above will be adjusted accordingly.

Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(e) Going concern

Directors are of the opinion that the Group is a going concern for the following reasons:

  • As at the reporting date the Group had cash on hand amounting to $2.09m and net assets amounting to $5.25m; and
  • The Directors anticipate that a further equity raising may be required in the future, with funds raised being used to meet the ongoing working capital requirements of the Group, and the Directors are confident that the Company will be successful in raising the required equity.

Should this equity raising not be completed successfully, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt as to whether the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and whether it will be able to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the financial report.

(f) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company.

Control is achieved when the Company:

  • has power over the investee;
  • is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement in with the investee; and
  • has the ability to its power to affect its returns.

The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements listed above.

When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights if an investee, it has the power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company's voting rights are sufficient to give it power, including,

  • the size of the Company's holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;
  • potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties; rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
  • any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholder meetings.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

Changes in the Group's ownership interest in existing subsidiaries

Changes in the Group's ownership interest in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group's interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in subsidiaries.

Any difference between the amount paid by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between:

  • The aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest; and
  • The previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests.

All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified/permitted by the applicable AASBs). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under AASB 139, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)

For the year ended 30 June 2019

Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(g) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the board of directors of OpenDNA Limited.

(h) Foreign currency translation

Both the functional and presentation currency of OpenDNA Limited is Australian dollars. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance date.

All exchange differences in the consolidated financial report are taken to profit or loss with the exception of differences on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity. These are taken directly to equity until the disposal of the net investment, at which time they are recognised in profit or loss.

Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those borrowings are also recognised in equity.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction.

Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.

The functional currencies of the foreign operations are:

  • OpenDNA (UK) Limited: Wholly owned UK subsidiary. Currency: GBP
  • OpenDNA (UK) Limited: South African branch office. Currency: ZAR
  • OpenDNA (Singapore) Pte Ltd: Wholly owned Singaporean subsidiary. Currency: SGD
  • RooLife (HK) Limited: Wholly owned Hong Kong subsidiary. Currency: HKD

As at the balance date the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into the presentation currency of OpenDNA Limited at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance date and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used.

The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken directly to a separate component of equity, being recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve.

On disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Group's entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, or a partial disposal of an interest in a joint arrangement or an associate that includes a foreign operation of which the retained interest becomes a financial asset), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.

In addition, in relation to the partial disposal of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation that does not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange rate differences are re-attributed to non-controlling interests and are not recognised in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals (i.e. partial disposals of associates or jointly arrangements that do not result in the Group losing significant influence or joint control), the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed through acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(i) Revenue recognition

Applicable to 30 June 2019

Revenue arises mainly from the provision of services in the areas of digital marketing, website services, application development and subscription, and marketing consulting. The Group generates revenue largely in Australia.

To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Group follows a 5-step process:

  • 1 Identifying the contract with a customer
  • 2 Identifying the performance obligations
  • 3 Determining the transaction price
  • 4 Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations
  • 5 Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.

The revenue and profits recognised in any period are based on the delivery of performance obligations and an assessment of when control is transferred to the customer.

In determining the amount of revenue and profits to record, and related balance sheet items (such as contract fulfilment assets, capitalisation of costs to obtain a contract, trade receivables, accrued income and deferred income) to recognise in the period, management is required to form a number of key judgements and assumptions. This includes an assessment of the costs the Group incurs to deliver the contractual commitments and whether such costs should be expensed as incurred or capitalised.

Revenue is recognised either when the performance obligation in the contract has been performed, so 'point in time' recognition or 'over time' as control of the performance obligation is transferred to the customer.

For contracts with multiple components to be delivered such as Web Development management applies judgement to consider whether those promised goods and services are (i) distinct - to be accounted for as separate performance obligations; (ii) not distinct - to be combined with other promised goods or services until a bundle is identified that is distinct or (iii) part of a series of distinct goods and services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer.

Transaction price

At contract inception the total transaction price is estimated, being the amount to which the Group expects to be entitled and has rights to under the present contract.

The transaction price does not include estimates of consideration resulting from change orders for additional goods and services unless these are agreed.

Once the total transaction price is determined, the Group allocates this to the identified performance obligations in proportion to their relative stand-alone selling prices and recognises revenue when (or as) those performance obligations are satisfied.

For each performance obligation, the Group determines if revenue will be recognised over time or at a point in time. Where the Group recognises revenue over time for long term contracts, this is in general due to the Group performing and the customer simultaneously receiving and consuming the benefits provided over the life of the contract.

For each performance obligation to be recognised over time, the Group applies a revenue recognition method that faithfully depicts the Group's performance in transferring control of the goods or services to the customer. This decision requires assessment of the real nature of the goods or services that the Group has promised to transfer to the customer. The Group applies the relevant output or input method consistently to similar performance obligations in other contracts.

When using the output method, the Group recognises revenue on the basis of direct measurements of the value to the customer of the goods and services transferred to date relative to the remaining goods and services under the contract. Where the output method is used, in particular for long term service contracts where the series guidance is applied, the Group often uses a method of time elapsed which requires minimal estimation. Certain long term contracts use output methods based upon estimation of number of users, level of service activity or fees collected.

Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(i) Revenue recognition (continued)

If performance obligations in a contract do not meet the over time criteria, the Group recognises revenue at a point in time. This may be at the point of physical delivery of goods and acceptance by a customer or when the customer obtains control of an asset or service in a contract with customer-specified acceptance criteria.

Disaggregation of revenue

The Group disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by contract type, which includes (i) Digital Marketing, (ii) Marketing Consulting (iii) Application Development and Subscription and (iv) Website Services as management believe this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the Group's revenue and cash flows.

Performance obligations

The nature of contracts or performance obligations categorised within these revenue types include the following:

a) Digital marketing

This category includes SEO services and media management with performance obligations linked to the completion of the contracts, namely point in time revenue recognition.

b) Marketing consulting

Consulting revenue is invoiced as the service is being performed with the performance obligations satisfied during the delivery of the service, namely over time recognition.

c) Application development and subscription

This category includes content fees, page view fees and user subscription fees linked to the activity of subscribers. Revenue is recognised over time.

a) Website services

This category includes bespoke website builds, hosting fees and creative and design services. Performance obligations are linked to milestone events and for hosting, on an ongoing delivery basis. Revenue is recognised over time.

Contract assets and contract liabilities

The Group recognises contract liabilities for consideration received in respect of unsatisfied performance obligations and reports these amounts as other liabilities in the statement of financial position. Similarly, if the Group satisfies a performance obligation before it receives the consideration, the Group recognises either a contract asset or a receivable in its statement of financial position, depending on whether something other than the passage of time is required before the consideration is due.

Applicable to 30 June 2018

Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Sale of goods

Revenue is recognised when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied:

  • the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
  • the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
  • the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
  • it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and
  • the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(i) Revenue recognition (continued)

Rendering of services

Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of the contract is determined as follows:

  • Contract income is recognised by reference to the total actual costs incurred at the end of the reporting period relative to the proportion of the total costs expected to be incurred over the life of the contract;
  • Servicing fees are recognised by reference to the proportion of the total cost of providing the service for the product sold; and
  • Revenue from time and material contracts are recognised at the contractual rates as labour hours are delivered and direct expenses are incurred.

Interest income

Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that assets' net carrying amount on initial recognition.

(j) Government grants

Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.

Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.

Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets.

(k) Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised at their fair value or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation.

Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the general policy on borrowing costs, refer Note 1(k).

Finance lease assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

(l) Income tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary difference and to unused tax losses.

Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(l) Income Tax (continued)

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company's subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance date.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:

  • when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
  • when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:

  • when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
  • when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

(m) Other taxes

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

  • when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
  • receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the 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 are classified as operating cash flows.

Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(m) Other taxes (continued)

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:

  • when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
  • when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

(n) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill

The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cashgenerating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).

An assessment is also made at each balance date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised.

If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

(o) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

(p) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any allowance for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within periods ranging from 30 – 90 days.

Impairment of trade receivables is continually reviewed and those that are considered to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account is used when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms. Factors considered by the Group in making this determination include known significant financial difficulties of the debtor, review of financial information and significant delinquency in making contractual payments to the Group. The impairment allowance is set equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the receivable and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Where receivables are short-term discounting is not applied in determining the allowance.

Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(p) Trade and other receivables (continued)

The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.

(q) Financial instruments

Applicable 30 June 2019

Recognition and derecognition

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

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred.

A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

Classification and initial measurement of financial assets

Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).

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

  • amortised cost
  • fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
  • equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
  • debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses. The classification is determined by both:

  • the entity's business model for managing the financial asset
  • the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses.

Subsequent measurement of financial assets

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVTPL):

  • they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets to collect its contractual cash flows
  • the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments as well as listed bonds that were previously classified as held- to-maturity under IAS 39.

Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(q) Financial instruments (continued)

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

Financial assets that are held within a different business model other than 'hold to collect' or 'hold to collect and sell' are categorised at fair value through profit and loss. Further, irrespective of business model financial assets whose contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest are accounted for at FVTPL. All derivative financial instruments fall into this category, except for those designated and effective as hedging instruments, for which the hedge accounting requirements apply.

The category also contains an equity investment. The Group accounts for the investment at FVTPL and did not make the irrevocable election to account for the investment in unlisted and listed equity securities at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The fair value was determined in line with the requirements of AASB 9, which does not allow for measurement at cost.

Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss.

The fair values of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists.

Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (Equity FVOCI)

Investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading are eligible for an irrevocable election at inception to be measured at FVOCI.

Under Equity FVOCI, subsequent movements in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividend from these investments continue to be recorded as other income within the profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents return of capital.

This category includes unlisted equity securities that were previously classified as 'available-for-sale' under AASB 139. Any gains or losses recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI) are not recycled upon derecognition of the asset.

Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (Debt FVOCI)

Financial assets with contractual cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest and held within a business model of collecting the contractual cash flows and selling the assets are accounted for at debt FVOCI.

The Group accounts for financial assets at FVOCI if the assets meet the following conditions:

  • they are held under a business model whose objective it is to "hold to collect" the associated cash flows and sell financial assts; and
  • the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Any gains or losses recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI) will be recycled upon derecognition of the asset.

Impairment of financial assets

AASB 9's impairment requirements use more forward-looking information to recognise expected credit losses – the 'expected credit loss (ECL) model'. This replaced AASB 139's 'incurred loss model'.

Instruments within the scope of the new requirements included loans and other debt-type financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI, trade receivables, contract assets recognised and measured under AASB 15 and loan commitments and some financial guarantee contracts (for the issuer) that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Recognition of credit losses is no longer dependent on the Group first identifying a credit loss event. Instead the Group considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument.

Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(q) Financial instruments (continued)

In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:

  • financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk ('Level 1') and
  • financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low ('Level 2').
  • 'Level 3' would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date.

12-month expected credit losses' are recognised for the first category while 'lifetime expected credit losses' are recognised for the second category.

Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument.

Trade and other receivables and contract assets

The Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables as well as contract assets and records the loss allowance as lifetime expected credit losses. These are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows, considering the potential for default at any point during the life of the financial instrument. In calculating, the Group uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix.

The Group assess impairment of trade receivables on a collective basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics they have been grouped based on the days past due.

Classification and measurement of financial liabilities

The Group's financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables and derivative financial instruments.

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Group designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.

Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVTPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss (other than derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective as hedging instruments).

All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument's fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included within finance costs or finance income.

Applicable 30 June 2018

Financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale investments, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the Group commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss'. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in profit or loss.

Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(q) Financial instruments (continued)

Held-to-maturity investments

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity when the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments intended to be held for an undefined period are not included in this classification. Investments that are intended to be held-to-maturity, such as bonds, are subsequently measured at amortised cost. This cost is computed as the amount initially recognised minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between the initially recognised amount and the maturity amount. This calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums and discounts. For investments carried at amortised cost, gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the investments are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

If the Group were to sell other than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity financial assets, the whole category would be tainted and reclassified as available-for-sale.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

Available-for-sale investments

Available-for-sale investments are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as any of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition available-for sale investments are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance date. For investments with no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm's length market transactions, reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models.

Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:

  • the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
  • the Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; or
  • the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either:
    • has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
      • has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Group's continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration received that the Group could be required to repay.

When continuing involvement takes the form of a written and/or purchased option (including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on the transferred asset, the extent of the Group's continuing involvement is the amount of the transferred asset that the Group may repurchase, except that in the case of a written put option (including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on an asset measured at fair value, the extent of the Group's continuing involvement is limited to the lower of the fair value of the transferred asset and the option exercise price.

Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(q) Financial instruments (continued)

Financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses at each balance date whether a financial asset or Group of financial assets is impaired.

Financial assets carried at amortised cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced either directly or through use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss.

The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a Group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that Group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date.

Financial assets carried at cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value (because its fair value cannot be reliably measured), or on a derivative asset that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss shall not be reversed in subsequent periods.

Available-for-sale investments

If there is objective evidence that an available-for-sale investment is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from equity to the statement of comprehensive income. Reversals of impairment losses for equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not recognised in profit. Reversals of impairment losses for debt instruments are reversed through profit or loss if the increase in an instrument's fair value can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss.

(r) Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. Similarly, when each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalisation.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. The assets' residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.

Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(r) Property, plant and equipment

Impairment

The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each balance date, with recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset's value in use can be estimated to approximate fair value.

An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount.

For plant and equipment, impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the cost of sales line item. However, because land and buildings are measured at revalued amounts, impairment losses on land and buildings are treated as a revaluation decrement.

Revaluations

Following initial recognition at cost, land and buildings are carried at a revalued amount which is the fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation on buildings and any subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Fair value is determined by reference to market-based evidence, which is the amount for which the assets could be exchanged between a knowledgeable willing buyer and a knowledgeable willing seller in an arm's length transaction as at the valuation date.

Any revaluation increment is credited to the asset revaluation reserve included in the equity section of the statement of financial position, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss, in which case the increase is recognised in profit or loss.

Any revaluation decrease is recognised in profit or loss, except that a decrease offsetting a previous revaluation increase for the same asset is debited directly to the asset revaluation reserve to the extent of the credit balance existing in the revaluation reserve for that asset.

An annual transfer from the asset revaluation reserve to retained earnings is made for the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amounts of the assets and depreciation based on the assets' original costs. Additionally, any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amounts of the assets and the net amounts are restated to the revalued amounts of the assets.

Upon disposal, any revaluation reserve relating to the particular asset being sold is transferred to retained earnings. Independent valuations are performed with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amounts do not differ materially from the assets' fair values at the balance date.

Derecognition and disposal

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.

Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(s) Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group's interest in the net fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities.

Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the group's cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units.

Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is so allocated:

  • represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes; and
  • is not larger than a segment based on either the Group's primary or the Group's secondary reporting format determined in accordance with AASB 8 Operating Segments.

Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units), to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. When goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) and an operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this manner is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not subsequently reversed.

(t) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets acquired separately are recorded at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. Amortisation is charged on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method is reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with any changes in these accounting estimates being accounted for on a prospective basis.

Internally generated intangible assets – research and development expenditure

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period as incurred.

An intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:

  • The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
  • The intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
  • The ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
  • How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
  • The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
  • The ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above.

Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately.

The following useful lives are used in the calculation of amortisation:

Technology 10 years

Notes to the financial statements (continued)

For the year ended 30 June 2019

Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(t) Intangible assets (continued)

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are identified and recognised separately from goodwill where they satisfy the definition of an intangible asset and their fair values can be measured reliably.

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately.

(u) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months.

(v) Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

The fair value of the liability portion of a convertible note is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible note. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the note. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option. This is recognised and included in shareholders' equity, net of income tax effects.

Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

(w) Employee leave benefits

Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave and sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees' services up to the balance date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.

Liabilities accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave and sick leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance date are recognised in non-current other payables in respect of employees' services up to the balance date. They are measured as the present value of the estimated future outflows to be made by the Group.

Long service leave

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the balance date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and period of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the balance date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(x) Share based payments

The Group provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) of the Group in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees 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 by using a Black-Scholes model, further details of which are given in Note 15.

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of OpenDNA Limited (market conditions) if applicable.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period).

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each balance date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The statement of comprehensive income charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition.

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share, refer Note 5.

(y) Earnings/loss per share

Basic earnings/loss per share is calculated as net profit/loss attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Diluted earnings/loss per share is calculated as net profit/loss attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:

  • costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;
  • the after-tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and
  • other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

(z) Parent entity financial information

The financial information for the parent entity, OpenDNA Limited, disclosed in Note 21 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below.

Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the parent entity's financial statements. Dividends received from associates are recognised in the parent entity's profit or loss, rather than being deducted from the carrying amount of these investments.

Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(z) Parent entity financial information (continued)

Share-based payments

The grant by the Company of options over its equity instruments to the employees of subsidiary undertakings in the Group is treated as a capital contribution to that subsidiary undertaking. The fair value of employee services received, measured by reference to the grant date fair value, is recognised over the vesting period as an increase to investment in subsidiary undertakings, with a corresponding credit to equity.

Note 4: Segment reporting

Description of segments

AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the Board of directors in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance. For management purposes, the Group manages its operations as a single business unit. All of the Group's activities are interrelated, and discrete financial information is reported to the Board of Directors as a single segment. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based on an analysis of the Group as one segment. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the consolidated financial information of the Group as a whole.

Segment information

The following tables present revenue and profit/loss information and certain asset and liability information regarding geographical segments for the year ended 30 June 2019. Revenue is attributed to geographical location based on the location of customers.

(i) the average credit period on sales of goods and rendering of services is 30 days.

In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Group considers any changes in the credit quality of the trade receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the balance date. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the customer base being large and unrelated. The above allowance for impairment relates to one specific debtor which management has deemed to be non-recoverable. Accordingly, the Directors believe that there is no further credit provisions required in excess of the allowance for impairment.

Note 15: Share-based payment plans

The following share-based payment arrangements were approved at the Company's 2018 Annual General Meeting:

(a) Options:

  • 1.5 million Options were issued to the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Richard Jarvis, in connection with the Company's cash preservation strategy (as announced by the Company on 31 July 2018);
  • 20 million Options were issued to Triple Consulting Pty Ltd ("Triple C") in connection with its role as lead manager to the Placement and in consideration for the provision of ongoing corporate advisory services;
  • 3.5 million Options were issued to Storm Enterprises Pty Ltd ("Storm") in consideration for services provided to the Company; and
  • 3 million Options were issued to Triple C in connection with its role as lead manager to the placement on 28 June 2019 and in consideration for the provision of ongoing corporate advisory services.

The Options were issued on the same terms in all respects as those issued under the Placement.

Note 15: Share-based payment plans (continued)

The fair value of the Options are estimated as at the date of grant using the Black and Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted.

No other features of options granted were incorporated into the measurement of fair value.

The value brought to account in the share-based payment reserve in the year ended 30 June 2019 as a result of the above was $456,076 of which $26,766 relating to the fair value of Listed Options granted to Richard Jarvis was expensed to the Profit and Loss. The fair value of Options granted to Triple C and Storm amounting to $374,523 and $54,786 respectively (total of $429,309), has been capitalised and included in the transaction costs arising on share issue within equity.

(b) Performance shares related to acquisition of RooLife Limit and CHOOSE Digital

As announced by the Company on 12 September 2018, the Company entered into a binding Heads of Agreement ("HOA") to acquire two Australian-based businesses, CHOOSE Digital and RooLife. Under the HOA, OpenDNA agreed to purchase all of the issued shares in each of CHOOSE Digital and RooLife as a single transaction, which was subsequently approved at the Company's AGM. The consideration for the Acquisition consists of both upfront and "at risk" components, with the majority of that consideration being non-cash and based on the achievement of revenue milestones. Details of the consideration are as follows:

  • On completion of the Acquisition ("Completion"), which occurred on 24 December 2018, OpenDNA paid the Acquisition vendors a total aggregate cash amount of $150,000. A total of approximately 15.24 million OpenDNA shares were also issued to the Acquisition vendors, based on an agreed price of $0.035 per share, which will be subject to voluntary escrow for a period of 12 months.
  • At Completion, the Acquisition vendors were also issued with approximately 30.5 million performance shares, which will be split equally into two tranches and will be subject to conversion into fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of OpenDNA upon achievement of the following milestones:
    • the Tranche 1 performance shares will convert into shares in OpenDNA on a one-to-one basis upon the CHOOSE Digital and RooLife businesses first achieving aggregate revenue of $1.8 million in a rolling 12-month period (as confirmed by audited financial statements); and
    • the Tranche 2 performance shares will convert into shares in OpenDNA on a one-to-one basis upon the CHOOSE Digital and RooLife businesses first achieving aggregate revenue of $3 million in a rolling 12-month period (as confirmed by audited financial statements),

provided that, should either of the above revenue milestones not be achieved within 5 years of Completion, the corresponding tranche of performance shares to which that milestone relates will lapse automatically.

The Directors are of the opinion that at balance date, it is probable that the Tranche 1 milestone will be achieved. As a result, the value of the 15,238,095 Tranche 1 performance shares, being $533,334, has been recorded as part of the acquisition consideration, with a corresponding amount recorded in the Share Based Payment Reserve. This value is based on a share price of $0.035, being the value of the Company's shares at the date of Completion.

Note 15: Share-based payment plans (continued)

Full terms of the performance shares proposed to be issued to the Acquisition vendors are set out in the Company's Notice of Annual General Meeting, dated 23 October 2018.

Plan 1: Special Purpose Share Option Plan

The purpose of the Special Purpose Share Option Plan ('SPP') is to:

  • assist in the reward, retention and motivation of eligible participants;
  • link the reward of eligible participants and the creation of shareholder value;
  • align interests of eligible participants more closely with the interest of shareholders by providing an opportunity for eligible participants to receive shares;
  • provide eligible participants with the opportunity to share in any future growth in value of the Company; and
  • provide greater incentive for eligible participants to focus on the Company's longer-term goals.

The following share-based payment arrangements were in place during the current and prior period, under the SPP:

30 June 2019

No options granted under the SPP have been forfeited, exercised or have expired during the year.

30 June 2018

3,000,000 options were granted to the Chief Operating Officer, Mr Loia, which were approved at the Company's 2017 Annual General Meeting. These options were to vest at various dates from 1 January 2018, were to expire at various dates from 30 June 2020 and were exercisable at various prices from $0.30 to $0.40.

The options issued to Mr Loia above were cancelled on Mr Loia's cessation of employment with the Company during the year. As the options had not yet vested, no expense for these share-based payments has been recorded in this financial year.

In addition, 2,500,000 options previously issued to a Director, Mr Lonnie Sciambi, were cancelled on Mr Sciambi's retirement as a Director on 30 November 2017. The share-based payment expense previously recorded relating to a portion of these options that had not yet vested, has been reversed in the current financial year.

The following table illustrates the movement (number) in share options issued under the SPP:

2019Number 2018Number
Outstanding at the beginning of year 10,500,000 13,000,000
Granted during the year - 3,000,000

Outstanding at the end of year 10,500,000 10,500,000
Exercisable at the end of year 10,500,000 10,500,000

The weighted average exercise price for all options noted above was $0.35.

Note 15: Share-based payment plans (continued)

The fair value of the equity-settled share options granted under the SPP is estimated as at the date of grant using the Black and Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted.

The value brought to account as a share-based payment expense in the year ended 30 June 2019 was $0 (30 June 2018: $84,825).

Plan 2: Incentive Share Option Plan

The purpose of the Incentive Share Option Plan ('ISOP') is to:

  • assist in the reward, retention and motivation of eligible participants;
  • link the reward of eligible participants and the creation of shareholder value;
  • align interests of eligible participants more closely with the interest of shareholders by providing an opportunity for eligible participants to receive shares;
  • provide eligible participants with the opportunity to share in any future growth in value of the Company; and
  • provide greater incentive for eligible participants to focus on the Company's longer-term goals.

30 June 2019

1,500,000 options were granted to the Chief Financial Officer, Mr Jarvis, in connection with the Company's cash preservation strategy and approved at the Company's 2018 Annual General Meeting. These options have no vesting conditions and expiry date of 31 October 2021 and exercisable at $0.05 and fair value at grant date of $26,766.

No options granted under the ISOP have been forfeited, exercised or have expired during the year.

Note 16: Financial instruments

Capital risk management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.

The capital structure of the Group consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings.

None of the Group's entities are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Operating cash flows are used to maintain and expand operations, as well as to make routine expenditures such as tax and general administrative outgoings.

Note 16: Financial instruments (continued)

Gearing levels are reviewed by the Board on a regular basis in line with its target gearing ratio, the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital.

Financial risk management objectives

The Group is exposed to market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk.

Market risk

The Group's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Foreign currency risk management

The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies, hence exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise.

The carrying amounts of the Group's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the balance date expressed in Australian dollars are as follows:

Liabilities Assets
2019 2018 2019 2018
$ $ $ $
Great British Pounds (GBP or £) 4,717 110,946 11,662 425,394
Singapore Dollars (SGD or S$) 28,765 220,542 97,184 214,051

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The Group is exposed to both GBP and SGD currency fluctuations.

The following table details the Group's sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the Australian dollar against the relevant foreign currencies. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. The sensitivity analysis includes external loans as well as loans to foreign operations within the Group where the denomination of the loan is in a currency other than the currency of the lender or the borrower. A positive number indicates an increase in profit or loss and other equity where the Australian Dollar strengthens against the respective currency. For a weakening of the Australian Dollar against the respective currency there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit and other equity and the balances below would be negative.

GBP Impact SGD Impacts
2019 2018 2019 2018
$ $ $ $
Profit or loss (i) 631 28,586 6,220 (590)
Other equity (ii) (264,505) (269,256) (342,537) (254,890)

(i) This is mainly attributable to the exposure outstanding on GBP and SGD net assets at year-end in the Group.

Note 16: Financial instruments (continued)

(ii) This is mainly as a result of the restating of the intercompany loans between the Company and its UK and Singaporean subsidiaries, where on consolidation the exchange rate difference on restating loans into their AUD equivalent is transferred to the foreign exchange translation reserve in equity.

Interest rate risk management

The Group is limited in its exposure to interest rate risk as entities in the Group do not borrow any funds. The only exposure to interest rate risk is on the Group's exposures on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note.

Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group's exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.

The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any Group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.

The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowance for losses, represents the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral obtained.

Liquidity risk management

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, who have built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements.

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The Group has no non-derivative financial liabilities.

Fair value of financial instruments

This note provides information about how the Group determines fair values of various financial assets and liabilities.

Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis (but fair value disclosures are required)

The directors consider that the carrying value of the financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values.

Note 17: Business combinations

On 12 September 2018, the Company entered into a binding HOA to acquire two Australian-based businesses, CHOOSE Digital and RooLife.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of OpenDNA Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of OpenDNA Limited ("the Company") and its controlled entities ("the Group"), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, 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 statements, 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:

  • a) giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
  • b) 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 auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants ("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 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 1(e) in the financial report, which indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key auditmatter
Acquisition AccountingNote 17 of the financial report
During the year the Group acquired 100% ofthe issued capital of RooLife Limited, CHOOSEDigital Pty Ltd and Blackglass Pty Ltd. Thesewere considered significant acquisitions by theGroup.All acquisitions have been provisionallyaccounted for in line with the provisions ofAASB 3 Business Combinations.We focused on this area as a key audit matteras accounting for these transactions is acomplex and judgemental exercise, requiringmanagement to determine the fair value ofacquired assets and liabilities, in particulardetermining the allocation of purchaseconsideration to goodwill and separatelyidentifiable intangible assets. Our procedures included, but were notlimited to the following:We read the acquisition agreements-giving effect to the acquisitions tounderstand their key terms andconditions;We agreed the fair value of the-consideration paid to supportinginformation;We obtained audit evidence that the-acquisition-date assets and liabilities ofeach business were fairly stated;We considered the accounting for the-excess of the consideration paid over theidentifiable net assets acquired, havingregard to the Group's application ofprovisional accounting concepts inaccordance with AASB 3; andWe assessed the adequacy of the-Group's disclosures in the financial report
Carrying value of Intangible TechnologyAsset in respect of the acquisitions.
Note 11 of the financial reportIn accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Our procedures included, but were not
Assets, the Group was required to assess atbalance date whether there was any indicationthat the Technology Asset may have beenimpaired and if any such indication existed, theGroup was required to estimate therecoverable amount of the asset. limited to the following:We reviewed management's assessment-of whether any impairment indicatorsexisted that would require theTechnology Asset to be tested forimpairment; and
The result of the Group's assessment was thatit did not consider that there was any indicationthat this asset may have been impaired atbalance date. We considered the indicators of-impairment set out in AASB 136 todetermine whether any indicators existedthat would require the Group to test itsTechnology Asset for impairment.

Our audit focussed on the Group's assessment as to whether there was any indication that this asset may have been impaired, as the asset is one of the most significant assets of the Group. We planned our work to address the audit risk that the asset may have been impaired.

Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key auditmatter
Revenue recognitionNote 2 of the financial report
The Group has two distinct categories ofrevenue being revenue with performanceobligations recognised at a point in time andrevenue with performance obligationsrecognised over time.We focused on this area as a key audit matterdue to the number and type of estimationevents that may occur over the course of acontract life, leading to complex andjudgemental revenue recognition and the directimpact on profit. Our procedures included, but were notlimited to the following:We evaluated the appropriateness of the-Group's revenue recognition policiesagainst the requirements of AASB 15Revenue from Contracts with Customers;For a sample of revenue transactions we-assessed the performance obligations,the transaction price and any contractliabilities that may arise, the allocation ofthe transaction price, and when torecognise revenue, either at a point intime, or over time;For a sample of revenue designated for-over time recognition, we assessed themethodology and accuracy ofrecognising profit at the stage ofcompletion at balance date;We substantiated revenue transactions-on a sample basis by agreeing thetransaction to the sales invoice and bankreceipt, where relevant; andWe assessed the adequacy of the-Group's disclosures in the financialreport.

Information other than the financial report and auditor's report thereon

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not include the financial report and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly 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 have 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 Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

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

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

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

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

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