Money3 Corporation Limited
29 September 2017
On behalf of the board of directors of Money3 Corporation Limited (Money3), it is our pleasure to present the Annual Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2017 (FY17).
Pleasingly, Money3 continued to execute our strategy of expanding our footprint in the secured automotive lending sector through the year while continuing to consolidate our branch network.
We continue to be delighted with the ongoing commitment our people show serving our customers, which is demonstrated through our continued growth in all our loan products in FY17.

Financial Results
We delivered another strong year of growth, and an outstanding financial result. Revenues were up 13.4% from $96.7 million to $109.6 million, with all divisions contributing to top line growth. Expenses have been controlled and sustainable cost savings programs have been implemented across the business which have contributed to the material Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation ("EBITDA") improvements. This, combined with continued strong growth in secured automotive loans delivered an exceptional EBITDA increase of 43.4% to $50.6 million, up from $35.3 million, and NPAT increased 44.5% to $29.1 million, up from $20.1 million.
Within the Gross Loan Book, secured automotive loans have grown 40.9% to $213.9 million and now represent 78.3% of the total Gross Loans Receivable, compared to 76.3% at the end of FY16, larger amount longer term unsecured loans represents 11.0% of total Gross Loans Receivable, compared to 9.2% at the end of FY16, and
Small Amount Credit Contract ("SACC") loans represent 13.0% of total Gross Loans Receivable, compared to 14.5% at the end of FY16. We expect to see SACC's continue to decline as a percentage of the overall Gross Loans Receivable.
Regulations
Money3 is aware the government has proposed regulatory changes for Small Amount Credit Contracts and the commissions payable to finance brokers that may influence operations. We have considered the relevant regulations and reviews and find many have little to impact on the operations of Money3. We have, where necessary made adjustments to the operations to ensure these changes if introduced have immaterial impact to our financial results.

Dividends
The Directors of the company have declared a final dividend of 3.15 cents per share fully franked, payable on the 27 October 2017 to those shareholders on the register at the close of business on the 6 October 2017. The final dividend payable of 3.15 cents per share brings the full year dividend to 5.65 cents per share, fully franked, an increase of 7.6% on the prior year.
Outlook
We will continue to drive further growth in the secured automotive loan book with further penetration into broker relationships and leveraging repeat customers, whilst diligently maintaining cost savings that have been identified and implemented across the business. Training, compliance and collections activity will continue to be a focus to reinforce Money3's market leading position.
The Directors are pleased to provide FY18 full year guidance for NPAT of $29-30 million, resulting from the early adoption of new accounting standards AASB 9 and AASB 15.
Conclusion
On behalf of the Board of Money3, we would like to thank our staff and management for their outstanding customer service and commitment to our vision.
Finally, we would like to thank you, our shareholders, for your continued support as we execute the company's growth strategy. We are excited by the outlook for the business and look forward to continuing to grow shareholder value.

Principal Activities
The principal activities of the Group during the financial year were the provision of financial services specialising in the delivery of secured and unsecured personal loans.

Results of Operations
Money3 is delighted to announce full year results for the year ended 30 June 2017 and confirms its record Net Profit After Tax ("NPAT") of $29.1 million exceeded its prior profit guidance of $27.5 million.
Money3's transformational journey from a short term unsecured lender to a scalable diversified financial services company focusing on short and medium term loans, both secured and unsecured, has continued throughout the year.
Money3 is now a key provider of vehicle finance to consumers looking to fund the purchase of a preowned car in Australia and with the continual growth in the market and Money3's small relative share it is expected there is still significant growth opportunity in this sector along with the provision of larger amount longer term unsecured personal loans.

In FY17, Money3 delivered a solid financial result. Revenues were up 13.4% from $96.7 million to $109.6 million, with all divisions contributing to top line growth.

Directors' Report

Broker Division
The Broker Division of Money3 consists of unsecured and secured asset (mainly automotive) financing between $2,000 and $35,000 over periods up to 60 months. All financing under the Broker Division is provided under a Medium Amount Credit Contract ("MACC") or an All Other Credit ("AOC") Contract, in accordance with the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009.
Money3 has over 150 accredited independent broker relationships across Australia, which provides approximately 75% of settled loans, in addition to receiving leads from the Branch Division, Online enquires and repeat customers.
The key financial operating results for the Broker division are outlined in the table below:
| | 30 Jun 17
$'000 | 30 Jun 16
$'000 | % Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Total revenue | 56,022 | 46,099 | 21.5 |
| EBITDA (pre Corporate overheads) | 34,650 | 31,448 | 10.2 |
| Gross loans receivable | 213,861 | 151,808 | 40.9 |
| Net loans receivable | 195,234 | 139,062 | 40.4 |
The Broker Division continued to deliver sound revenue and EBITDA growth. Revenue for the year increased 21.5% to $56.0 million, driven by a 31.5% increase in number of loans written during the year. This growth in loans written provides a strong platform for future financial periods underwriting future revenue streams. Gross Loans Receivable has increased to $213.9 million, up 40.9% from $151.8 million.
EBITDA increased by 10.2% to $34.7 million, and as a percentage of revenue EBITDA continues to improve, leveraging scale.
Throughout FY17 there was a thorough review of corporate expenditure which saw many corporate overheads moved under the Broker division to better align costs with their revenue generation units. This in part explains greater revenue growth over EBITDA in FY17.
Branch Division
The Branch Division consists of 53 physical branches located across Australia and provides cash loans to customers ranging from $100 to $8,000, mainly on an unsecured basis. Financing under the Branch Division is provided under either a Small Amount Credit Contract ("SACC"), Medium Amount Credit Contract ("MACC") or an All Other Credit ("AOC") Contract, in accordance with the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009.
The key financial operating results for the Branch division are outlined in the table below:
| | 30 Jun 17
$'000 | 30 Jun 16
$'000 | % Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Total revenue | 35,127 | 31,121 | 12.9 |
| EBITDA (pre Corporate overheads) | 14,832 | 10,386 | 42.8 |
| Gross loans receivable | 41,447 | 33,352 | 24.3 |
| Net loans receivable | 32,239 | 25,781 | 25.1 |
It has been a year of consolidation for the Branch Division. Revenue grew 12.9% to $35.1 million, which is a pleasing result in a competitive, mature market.
We are seeing the benefits of consolidation of branches and continued focus on costs reductions, EBITDA materially improved by 42.8% on the prior year. The Branch network has continued to work tirelessly to ensure a smooth transition for customers and to encourage as many customers as possible to transition to new branch locations and remain a customer of Money3. All branches made positive EBITDA contributions in FY17.
The Branch Division continues to diversify its product mix and as at 30 June 2017 the Gross Loans Receivable now comprise 58.0% of larger amount longer term loans, compared to 53.1% at 30 June 2016.
Money3 Corporation Limited | Annual Report 2017
Money3 Corporation Limited | Annual Report 2017
Online Division
Cash Train provides cash loans to customers ranging from $200 to $8,000, mainly on an unsecured basis. Financing under the Online Division is provided under either a Small Amount Credit Contract ("SACC"), Medium Amount Credit Contract ("MACC") or an All Other Credit ("AOC") Contract, in accordance with the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009.
The key financial operating results for the Online division are outlined in the table below:
| | 30 Jun 17
$'000 | 30 Jun 16
$'000 | % Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Total revenue | 18,655 | 17,309 | 7.8 |
| EBITDA (pre Corporate overheads) | 5,286 | 3,327 | 58.9 |
| Gross loans receivable | 17,824 | 13,682 | 30.3 |
| Net loans receivable | 14,208 | 11,230 | 26.5 |
FY17 saw continued growth in the Online division with the growth driven out of the Cash Train business in Perth, but more importantly the focus on cost controls throughout the business saw material EBITDA growth. This included relocation to a smaller office during the year. The division delivered revenue growth of 7.8% and EBITDA growth of 58.9% to $5.3 million.
Advertising costs have been the biggest focus on the cost program and the results demonstrate the business has identified a number of ways to increase repeat customers, brand loyalty and reduce search costs which flowed directly to the Online business EBITDA.
The transition from Cash Train's legacy loan system to the Money3 lending platform, was completed in the first quarter of FY17 and this allows Cash Train to offer a more expansive product offering and for debt servicing to be completed as part of the broader Money3 collections process.
Financial Position
In March 2017, Money3 renewed and increased its debts facility to $50 million to accelerate the growth of the secured loan book. Cash reserves at 30 June 2017 were $21.1 million, gross debt was $79.5 million, and net debt was $58.4 million, compared to 30 June 2016 where cash reserves were $27.1 million, gross debt was $48.6 million and net debt was $21.5 million. The business remains conservatively geared and it is expected that future growth of the receivables book will come from debt and not equity funding.
Strategic Update
The Broker Division will continue to drive further penetration into broker relationships and leverage greater levels of repeat customers to improve EBITDA performance. Diversification of lead source will also continue to be a focus.
The Branch Division has introduced new product offerings to continue to meet customer needs, whilst focussing on cost control. Training, compliance and collections activity will be ramped up to further reinforce Money3's position as a market leader.
The Online Division will introduce new product offerings after transitioning to the new lending platform. Advertising and marketing activities are being reinvigorated to encourage repeat customers, brand loyalty and diversification of leads.
Material Risks
Key strategic risks facing the business include the following:
Risk that the business cannot refinance debt facilities when they expire
Money3 to date has been conservatively geared and has been using a mixture of debt and equity to fund growth. In the event that debt facilities could not be refinanced, lending could be reduced to allow cash receipts to repay debt facilities, a capital raising could be undertaken, or the dividend reduced or eliminated.
Risk that part of the business is subject to an adverse regulatory change or regulatory review
With increased attention from the media, advocate groups and Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) policies, all financiers including Money3 are coming under increased scrutiny from the regulators. Money3 has a diversified range of product offerings that means that it is not reliant on any one product. Lending practices are continually monitored and reviewed, and the business has adopted a Lending Charter that goes beyond existing regulatory requirements.
Directors' Report
continued
Risk that there is a downturn in the economy and collections reduce
There is a risk that the economic cycle may result in cash collections slowing and an increase in bad debts. As the business is dealing with customers that are credit impaired, the business is adept at helping customers to manage their repayment obligations around life's challenges. Money3 knows that it is important to help customers on their journey to financial and social inclusion, and that means being flexible when the customer needs it. Money3's collection practices are built around this premise.
A downturn in the economy could also provide further lending opportunities to Money3 as credit practices of larger financial institutions tighten.
Dividends
| Type | Cents per Share | Total Amount | Date of Payment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Final 2016 Ordinary | 2.50 | $3,880,227 | 28 October 2016 |
| Interim 2017 Ordinary | 2.50 | $3,881,830 | 15 May 2017 |
Since the end of the financial year the Directors have declared the payment of a final 2017 ordinary dividend of 3.15 cents per fully paid share. Based on the current number of shares on issue, the dividend payment is expected to be $4.9 million. This dividend will be paid on 27 October 2017 by the Company.
The Board advises that the dividend payout ratio guidance will continue to be 30-50% of underlying NPAT to balance shareholder returns in the form of dividends versus capital growth through reinvestment of profit into the loan book.

Remuneration Philosophy
The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its Directors and Executives. To prosper, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled directors and executives.
To that end, the Company embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework:
- Provide competitive rewards to attract high calibre executives;
- Focus on creating sustained shareholder value;
- Significant portion of executive remuneration at risk, dependent upon meeting predetermined performance benchmarks; and
- Differentiation of individual rewards commensurate with contribution to overall results and according to individual accountability, performance and potential.
The Remuneration Committee is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors, Managing Director (MD) and the senior management team. The Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of Directors and senior managers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high-quality board and executive team.
Remuneration Structure
In line with best practice corporate governance, the structure of NED, MD and senior management remuneration is separate and distinct.

NED Remuneration
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre.
The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of NED's shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the NED as agreed. The current approved aggregate remuneration is $500,000 (2016: $500,000).
Senior Management and MD Remuneration
The Company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities so as to:
- Reward executives for company and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks;
- Align the interests of executives with those of shareholders;
- Link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the company; and
- Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.
The executive remuneration program is designed to support the Company's reward philosophies and to underpin the Company's growth strategy. The program comprises the following components:
- Fixed remuneration component; and
- Variable remuneration component including short term incentive ("STI") and long term incentive ("LTI").
Fixed Remuneration
The level of fixed remuneration is set to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and is competitive in the market. 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.
Variable Remuneration – STI
The objective of the STI program is to link the achievement of the Company's operational targets with the remuneration received by the executives charged with meeting those targets. The total potential STI available is set at a level to provide sufficient incentive to the senior manager to achieve the operational targets and such that the cost to the Company is reasonable. The individual performance of each executive is also rated and considered when determining the amount, if any, of the short-term incentive pool allocated to each executive. The aggregate of annual STI payments available for executives across the Company are usually delivered in the form of a cash bonus.
Variable Remuneration – LTI
The objective of the LTI plan is to reward senior managers in a manner which aligns this element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. As such, LTI grants are only made to executives who are able to influence the generation of shareholder wealth and thus have a direct impact on the Company's performance against relevant long term performance hurdles. In the 2017 financial year, 5,000,000 options were granted (2016: Nil) to the MD and directors, which were approved at the AGM in November 2016. Shares of 176,211 were issued to key executives during the year with a further 1,276,957 to be granted. At the previous AGM held on 30 November 2015, a new Employee Equity Plan ("EEP") was approved. Expenses have been recognised for relevant executive KMP to receive some form of LTI remuneration the exact amounts are listed in the Details of Remuneration table on the following page.
Money3 Corporation Limited | Annual Report 2017
Contract of Employment
All executives of the Company are employed under a letter of appointment. Various notice periods of up to 6 months are required to terminate the appointment. The MD and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") letters of appointment contain specified LTI entitlements. Other executives letters of appointment do not contain specified LTI entitlements and are rolling with no fixed term. Key terms of these letters of appointment are outlined below:

Value of Options
The value of options is determined at grant date using the Binomial Option Pricing Model taking into account factors including exercise price, expected volatility and option life and is included in remuneration on a proportion basis from grant date to vesting date.
As the options vest over time, the cost is expensed in accordance with AASB2 over the vesting period. In the 2017 financial year, the expense for KMP was $1,094,005 (2016: $283,327).
During the year, Scott Baldwin and Craig Harris exercised 1,000,000 options each converting to 1,000,000 ordinary shares at $0.496056 each.

Money3 Corporation Limited | Annual Report 2017
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2017
Introduction
The financial report covers Money3 Corporation Limited ("Money3" or "the Company") and its controlled entities ("the Group"). Money3 is a company limited by shares whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Money3 is incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The presentation currency and functional currency of the Group is Australian dollars and amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
The financial report was authorised for issue by the Board of the Company at a directors meeting on the date shown on the Declaration by the Board attached to the Financial Statements.
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of accounting
The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations and complies with other requirements of the law, as appropriate for profit oriented entities. The financial report comprises the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
The financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied. Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in the current year.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, which are based on the Company continuing as a going concern which assumes the realisation of assets and the extinguishment of liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of the Group as at 30 June 2017 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless a transaction provides evidence of impairment to the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.
Rounding of amounts
The Group and the Company are of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors' Reports) Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to the "rounding off" of amounts in the financial report. Amounts in the financial report have been rounded off in accordance with that Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements
In the application of Australian Accounting Standards, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revisions affect both current and future periods.
Judgements and estimates which are material to the financial report are found in the following notes:
| Note 3 | Revenue | Page 31 |
|---|---|---|
| Note 6 | Loans and other receivables | Page 34 |
| Note 8 | Intangible assets | Page 37 |
Notes to the financial statements
The notes to the financial statements have been restructured to make the financial report more relevant and readable, with a focus on information that is material to the operations, financial position and performance of the Group. Additional information has also been included where it is important for understanding the Group's performance.
Notes relating to individual line items in the financial statements now include accounting policy information where it is considered relevant to an understanding of these items, as well as information about critical accounting estimates and judgements. Details of the impact of new accounting policies and all other accounting policy information are disclosed at the end of the financial report in note 25.
2. Segment Information
The Group has identified its operating segments on the basis of internal reports and components of Money3 that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision makers in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performances.
Broker
This segment provides lending facilities based on the provision of an underlying asset as security, generally referred through a broker.
Branch
This segment provides services and lending facilities generally without the provision of an underlying asset as security through the branch network.
Online
This segment provides lending facilities without the provision of an underlying asset as security through the internet.
Segment profit earned by each segment represents earnings without the allocation of central administration costs and directors' salaries, interest income and expense in relation to corporate facilities, bad debt collection and income tax expense. This is the measure reported to the MD for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance. The unallocated assets include various corporate assets held at a corporate level that have not been allocated to the underlying segments.
| Consolidated – 2017 | Broker $'000 | Branch $'000 | Online $'000 | Unallocated $'000 | Total $'000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Segment revenue | 56,022 | 35,127 | 18,655 | (165) | 109,638 |

| Net loans receivable | 195,916 | 31,557 | 14,208 | 56 | 241,737 |
Corporate expenditure has been reviewed throughout the year and with a view to better aligning costs to business units, which means approximately $2.4 million, $1.6 million and $0.3 million were able to be allocated to Broker, Branch and Online respectively, which in prior years had been captured in unallocated corporate expenses.
| Consolidated – 2016 | Broker $'000 | Branch $'000 | Online $'000 | Unallocated $'000 | Total $'000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Segment revenue | 46,099 | 33,121 | 17,309 | 132 | 96,661 |
| EBITDA/Segment result | 31,448 | 10,386 | 3,327 | (9,880) | 35,281 |

| Total revenue from operating activities | 109,638 | 96,661 |
Key Estimate
The deferring of loan fees and charges assumes that the loan will be repaid in line with the repayments already received. This key estimate is regularly reviewed and it is unlikely any change in the estimate will have a material impact.

Notes to the Financial Statements
continued
3. Revenue (continued)
Recognition and Measurement
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the economic entity and the revenue can be reliably measured.
Loan Fees and Charges
Loan fees and charges includes interest on loan products, application and credit fees, and other period fees including arrears, default and variation fees. Revenue associated with loans such as application and credit fees are deferred and recognised over the life of the loans using the effective interest rate method over the loan period. Interest revenue in relation to personal loans is accrued on a time basis by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable. Some fees such as arrears, variations and default fees are recognised as they are charged and not recognised using the effective interest method.
Cheque Cashing Fees
Revenue is recognised when the service is performed and there are no unfulfilled service obligations that will restrict the entitlement to receive the consideration.
4. Income Tax
| Consolidated 2017 $'000 | Consolidated 2016 $'000 | |

| Net balance disclosed as deferred tax assets | 6,240 | 4,389 |
Money3 Corporation Limited | Annual Report 2017
Recognition and Measurement
Current Tax
Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances they relate to are levied by the same taxation authority.
Tax Consolidation
On 1 July 2010 Money3 Corporation Limited ("the head entity") and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities formed a tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has applied the group allocation approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by subsidiaries to the head entity.
5. Cash and cash equivalents
| Consolidated 2017 $’000 | Consolidated 2016 $’000 | |
|---|---|---|
| Cash in hand and safe | 566 | 551 |
| Petty Cash | 4 | 8 |
| Cash at Bank and on call | 15,536 | 25,868 |
| Term Deposit* | 5,000 | 756 |
| Total cash and cash equivalents | 21,106 | 27,183 |
- The effective interest rate on term deposits was 2.1% (2016: 1.25%-2.13%); these deposits have an average maturity of 3 months. The deposits on call (11am) have an effective interest rate of 1.6% (2016: 1.85%).
Recognition and Measurement
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, and safe, deposits available on demand with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

6. Loans and Other Receivables

|---|---|---|
| Current loans and other receivables | 157,702 | 103,685 |
| Non-current loans and other receivables | 67,358 | 60,707 |

| Deferred revenue | (31,451) | (22,769) |
| Net loans and other receivables | 241,737 | 176,075 |
| Allowance for impairment losses | (16,677) | (11,683) |
| Total loans and other receivables | 225,060 | 164,392 |
Key Estimate
There is a key estimate that the recognition of income and the allowance for impairment will be in line with the repayment history of loans. These key estimates are regularly reviewed.
Recognition and Measurement
Loans and other receivables are non-derivative financial assets, with fixed and determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value, including direct transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Loans and other receivables are due for settlement at various times in line with the terms of their contracts.
Loans and other receivables have been aged according to their original due date in the below ageing analysis. The carrying value of loan receivables after allowance for impairment losses is considered a reasonable approximation of fair value.
Collectability of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis and an allowance for impairment losses is recognised when there is objective evidence that the collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when identified. The following basis has been used to assess the allowance for impairment losses required for loans:
- an individual account by account assessment based on past credit history;
- any prior knowledge of debtor insolvency or other credit risk; and
- working with client managers on a weekly basis to assess past due items to determine recoverability.
An allowance has been made for estimated irrecoverable loans amounts arising from the past provision of services, determined by reference to past default experience. During the current financial year, the allowance for impairment losses increased by $5.0 million (2016: increased by $4.9 million) for the Group. These amounts relate mainly to customers experiencing financial hardships. This movement was recognised in the profit or loss. During the year, the Group's bad net debt expense decreased by $0.6 million (2016: increased by $5.7 million). The Group actively reviews loans receivable for their recoverability and these debts are expensed immediately when non-recoverability is identified.
Money3 Corporation Limited | Annual Report 2017
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the fair value of each class of receivable in the financial statements. Security is generally taken for loans above $2,000 and is originated in the Broker Division and is secured by collateral of approximately $130.1 million (2016: $122.2 million). The total fair value of securities held for certain loans receivable is impracticable to determine for accounting disclosure as is the fair value of any collateral sold or repledged. However, the security position against individual debtors is considered by management in their evaluation of the recoverable amount.
Refer to Note 19 for more information on the risk management policy of the Group and the credit quality of the entity's loans and other receivables. The following table provides an analysis of past due receivables:
| Consolidated | 2017 | 2016 | ||||

Recognition and Measurement
Property, Plant and Equipment at Cost
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and cumulative impairment charges. Cost includes those costs directly attributable to bringing the assets into the location and working condition necessary for the asset to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Additions, renewals and improvements are capitalised, while maintenance and repairs are expensed.
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Depreciation
Depreciation on assets is calculated on a diminishing value basis to write off the cost of the asset over its estimated useful life.
Estimates of remaining useful life are made on a regular basis for all assets, with annual reassessments for major items. The expected useful life of plant and equipment is as follows:
Leasehold improvements 2 – 10 years
Furniture, equipment and fittings 5 – 10 years

Key Estimate and Judgement
Goodwill is tested annually as to whether it has suffered impairment. The recoverable amounts of Cash Generating Units ("CGU's") have been determined based on value in use calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions.

8. Intangible Assets (continued)
Recognition and Measurement
All 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 value can be measured reliably.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the entity's share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired business at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Customer Lists
The customer lists acquired in the business combination are amortised on a straight line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their estimated life of 5 years.
Impairment
Goodwill is allocated for impairment testing purposes to three CGU's, being Broker, Branch and Online operations. The recoverable amount of the CGU is based on a number of key assumptions as detailed below.
Goodwill Impairment Tests and Key Assumptions Used
The Group tests at least annually whether goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives have suffered any impairment, and when there is an indication of impairment. The tests incorporate assumptions regarding future events which may or may not occur, resulting in the need for future revisions of estimates. There are also judgements involved in determination of CGU's.
The recoverable amount of Broker, Branch and Online was determined based on a value in use discounted cash flow ("DCF") model. The value in use calculations use cash flow projections based on the 2018 financial budgets extended over the subsequent four year period ("Forecast Period") and applies a terminal value calculation using estimated growth rates approved by the Board for the business relevant to each CGU.
The following are the key assumptions used in testing the recoverable value of goodwill:
| Broker | Branch | Online | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 Budget revenue growth | 14% | 0% | 0% |
| 2018 Budget expense growth/(reduction) | (1%) | (3%) | (15%) |
| Terminal value => 5 years | 3.0% | 3.0% | 3.0% |
| Revenue growth rate > 1 year | 5% | 3% | 10% |
| Expense growth rate > 1 year | 3-5% | 3-4% | 3-10% |
| Pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow | 15.72% | 14.70% | 15.95% |
| Recoverable amount ($'000) | $272,231 | $98,387 | $41,140 |
The Directors concluded that, based on these assumptions, the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount and as such, there is no impairment of goodwill in the current year (2016: $nil).
2016 Assumptions
In 2016 the key assumptions used to calculate cash flows were a growth in operating expenses of (2%)-35% and an increase of revenue of 2%-27%. In the following years, growth rates were between 3% to 10%.
Management believe that any reasonable possible change in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount is based would not cause the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount of the CGU's.

| Sundry payables and accrued expenses | 5,299 | 4,554 |
| Total trade and other payables | 5,799 | 5,182 |
Recognition and Measurement
Trade and other payables are recognised when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
Trade creditors and other creditors are non-interest bearing liabilities. Trade creditor payments are processed once they have reached 30 days from the date of invoice for electronic funds transfer payments or cheque payment or 30 days from the end of the month of invoice for other payments. No interest is charged on trade payables.
All amounts are short term and the carrying values are considered to be a reasonable approximation of fair value.

| Total provisions | 1,986 | 1,929 |
Recognition and Measurement
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal, equitable or constructive) as a result of a present or past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the discounted present value of those cash flows. As that discount is unwound it gives rise to interest expense in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Money3 Corporation Limited | Annual Report 2017
Notes to the Financial Statements
continued
10. Provisions (continued)
Recognition and Measurement (continued)
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Employee Leave Entitlements
Liabilities for unpaid salaries, salary related costs and provisions for annual leave are recorded in the statement of financial position at the salary rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Provisions for long service leave and other long-term benefits are recognised at the present value of expected future payments to be made. In determining this amount, consideration is given to expected future salary levels and employee service histories. Expected future payments are discounted to their net present value using Milliman corporate bond rates.
11. Borrowings

| 49,939 | 48,633 | |
| Total borrowings | 79,511 | 48,633 |
Recognition and Measurement
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 month after the reporting date.
Borrowing costs are expensed over the life of the facility to which they relate.
Fair Value Disclosures
Fair values of Bonds are based on cash flows discounted using fixed effective market interest rates available to the Group. Finance costs of $3 million were recognised at the inception of the bonds and are being amortised over the life of the bonds. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
No fair value changes have been included in profit or loss for the period as financial liabilities are carried at amortised cost in the statement of financial position.
Money3 Corporation Limited | Annual Report 2017
Finance Facility
In March 2017, the Group entered into a finance facility to borrow an amount of $50 million which expires on the 3 March 2019. The facility bears interest at a fixed rate of 12% payable monthly in arrears and is subject to a first ranking General Security Agreement (fixed and floating charge) over all present and after acquired assets of the Group.
Bonds
On 14 May 2014, the first tranche of the bond issue was made for $15 million. The second tranche was issued on 30 June 2014 for $15 million. The bonds have a maturity of 4 years, being 14 May 2018 and an interest rate of 9% paid quarterly. There is a general security deed over all the Company's assets. The initial subscribers under the bond issue received 50 options for every $100 invested. The exercise price of the options is $1.296056 and can be exercised any time prior to maturity date.
The fair value of the liability portion of a convertible bond is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the bonds. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option. This is recognised and included in shareholders' equity, net of income tax effects.

Recognition and Measurement
Basic Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.
Diluted Earnings per Share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares. Options granted to employees and bond holders are considered to be ordinary shares and have been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share to the extent to which they are dilutive.

18. Leases (continued)
Recognition and Measurement
The Group as Lessee
Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
19. Financial Instruments
The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks through its use of financial instruments. This note discloses the Group's objectives, policies and processes for managing and measuring these risks.
The Group's overall risk management plan seeks to minimise potential adverse effects due to the unpredictability of financial markets.
The Board ensures that the Group maintains a competent management structure capable of defining, analysing, measuring and reporting on the effective control of risk inherent in the Group's underlying financial activities and the instruments used to manage risk. Key financial risks including interest rate risk and credit risk are reviewed by management on a regular basis and are communicated to the Board so that it can evaluate and impose its oversight responsibility. The Group does not enter or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
Specific Risks
- Interest rate risk
- Credit risk
- Liquidity risk
Financial Assets/Liabilities Used
The principal categories of financial assets/liabilities used by the Group are:
- Loans and other receivables
- Cash at bank
- Borrowings
- Trade and other payables
Objectives, Policies and Processes
The risk management policies of the Company seek to mitigate the above risks and reduce volatility on the financial performance of the Group. Financial risk management is carried out centrally by the Finance Department of the Company.
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 group overall strategy remains unchanged from 2016.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
Gearing Ratio
The Board reviews the capital structure on a semi-annual basis. As a part of this review the Board considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the Board the Group will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, new share issues and share buy-backs as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt.

(a) Interest Rate Risk
The Group's exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the Group's short term deposits held, deposits at call and borrowings. The interest income earned or paid on these balances can vary due to interest rate changes.
The Group does not have a significant interest rate risk as its long-term borrowings are at a fixed rate.
(b) Credit Risk
Credit risk is managed on a Group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to outstanding receivables, net of any allowance for impairment losses, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial report.
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. With the exception of its dealings with core customers, the Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group measures credit risk on a fair value basis.
Money3's core customers are often financially challenged and generally have a bad credit history and are lacking in budgeting ability.
The Group assesses credit risk by reference to historical information such as existing customers' history and whether loans are secured or unsecured. At balance date, loans neither past due nor impaired are $160.4 million (2016: $116.1 million), with $123.60 million representing secured loans (2016: $98.0 million) and $36.8 million representing unsecured loans (2016: $18.1 million)
The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics, given the number and diversity of customers.
Management manages credit risk by adopting policies and procedures which:
- Assess each application on the borrower's capacity to service the loan;
- Match repayment dates to borrowers' pay dates and pay cycles;
- Lend for short term;
- Where possible, obtain security on loans greater than $8,000;
- Require repayment of loans by direct debit, pay deductions or during settlements;
- Implement prompt follow up when a repayment is missed; and
- Have the ability to adjust repayments when customers face further financial difficulties.
This strategy remains consistent with the prior year.

(c) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to pay their debts as and when they fall due. The Company has borrowings and the Directors ensure that the cash on hand is sufficient to meet the commitments of the company and group at all times.
Liquidity risk arises from the Group's management of working capital and the finance charges and principal repayments on its debt instruments. It is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due.
Liquidity risk includes the risk that the Group:
- will not have sufficient funds to settle a transaction on the due date;
- will be forced to sell financial assets at a value which is less than what they are worth; and
- may be unable to settle or recover a financial asset at all.
To help reduce these risks where possible, the strategy is to borrow long term and lend short term, and maintain adequate cash reserves.
Maturity of Financial Liabilities
The Group holds the following financial instruments. Amounts presented below represent the future undiscounted principal and interest cash flows.
| 2017 | Consolidated | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| < 1 year | ||||
| $’000 | 1-5 years | |||
| $’000 | > 5 years | |||
| $’000 | Total | |||
| $’000 | ||||
| Financial Liabilities: | ||||
| Borrowings | 38,700 | 53,912 | – | 92,612 |
| Trade and other payables | 5,799 | – | – | 5,799 |
| Total financial liabilities | 44,499 | 53,912 | – | 98,411 |
| 2016 | Consolidated | |||
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| < 1 year | ||||
| $’000 | 1-5 years | |||
| $’000 | > 5 years | |||
| $’000 | Total | |||
| $’000 | ||||
| Financial Liabilities: | ||||
| Borrowings | 5,100 | 54,900 | – | 60,000 |
| Trade and other payables | 5,182 | – | – | 5,182 |
| Total financial liabilities | 10,282 | 54,900 | – | 65,182 |
The contractual maturities in the table above reflect gross cash flows, which may differ to the carrying values of the liabilities at the reporting date.
Also, affecting liquidity are cash at bank and non-interest bearing receivables and payables. Liquidity risk associated with these financial instruments is represented by the carrying amounts as shown above.
The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements approximates their net fair values.
48
Money3 Corporation Limited | Annual Report 2017
The net fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
- the net fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices; and
- the net fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow theory.
The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables is a reasonable approximation of their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments. A decrease in interest rates by 0.5% affects the present value of the bonds by increasing their value by $444,672 (2016: $444,672) which has not been taken to account.

All employees of the Group receive defined contribution superannuation entitlements, for which the Group pays the fixed superannuation guarantee contribution (currently 9.5% of the employee's average ordinary salary) to the employee's superannuation fund of choice. All contributions in respect of employees' defined contribution entitlements are recognised as an expense when they become payable. The Group's obligation with respect to employees' defined contribution entitlements is limited to its obligation for any unpaid superannuation guarantee contributions at the end of the reporting period. All obligations for unpaid superannuation guarantee contributions are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled and are presented as current liabilities in the Group's statement of financial position. The defined contribution plan expense for the year was $1,689,426 (2016: $1,663,330) and is included in employee expenses.
Impact of New Accounting Policies
The year-end financial statements have been prepared on a basis of accounting policies consistent with those applied in the 30 June 2016 Annual Report. The Group adopted certain accounting standards, amendments and interpretations during the financial year which did not result in changes in accounting policies nor an adjustment to the amounts recognised in the financial statements. They also do not significantly affect the disclosures in the notes to the financial statements.

25. Other Accounting Policies (continued)
Impact of Standards Issued but not yet Applied
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 30 June 2017 reporting period and have not been early adopted by the Group. The Group's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below:
| Title of standard | Nature of change | Impact | Mandatory application date/Date of adoption by Group |
|---|---|---|---|
| AASB 9 Financial Instruments | AASB 9 addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities and introduces new rules for hedge accounting. | ||
| In December 2014, the AASB made further changes to the classification and measurement rules and introduced a new impairment model. These latest amendments now complete the new financial instruments standard. | The Group has been undertaking significant review of its accounting policies and practices and this review is being implemented during FY 2018 and will see both revenue recognition and impairment comply with AASB 9. | ||
| This will incorporate changing the loan provisioning methodology from the incurred loss model to the expected loss model and recognising revenue with further reliance on the effective interest rate methodology. | |||
| Management continues to assess the impact of the new rules. At this stage, the Group is finalising the estimated impact of the new rules on the Group's financial statements. | Must be applied for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2018. | ||
| Mandatory for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2018. | |||
| Expected date of adoption by the Group: 1 July 2018. |
Money3 Corporation Limited | Annual Report 2017
| Title of standard | Nature of change | Impact | Mandatory application date/Date of adoption by Group |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| AASB 15 Revenue from contracts with customers | The AASB has issued a new standard for the recognition of revenue. This will replace AASB 118 which covers contracts for goods and services and AASB 111 which covers construction contracts.
The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer – so the notion of control replaces the existing notion of risks and rewards.
The standard permits a modified retrospective approach for the adoption. Under this approach entities will recognise transitional adjustments in retained earnings on the date of initial application (e.g. 1 January 2018), without restating the comparative period. They will only need to apply the new rules to contracts that are not completed as of the date of initial application. | AASB 15 paragraph 5(c) specifically excludes financial instruments within the scope of AASB 9 from AASB 15 and on this basis the Group considers all changes will be captured under AASB 9.
The Group is currently assessing at which if any point in time fees which are appropriate to measure using concepts considered by AASB15. | Mandatory for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2018.
Expected date of adoption by the Group: 1 July 2018. |
| AASB 16 Leases | AASB 16 was issued in February 2016. It will result in almost all leases being recognised on the balance sheet, as the distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the leased item and a financial liability to pay rentals are recognised. The only exceptions are short-term and low value leases. | The standard will affect primarily the accounting for the Group’s operating leases. As at the reporting date the Group has non-cancellable operating leases commitments of $6,014,000, see note 18. However, the Group has not yet determined to what extent these commitments will result in the recognition of an asset and a liability for future payments and how this will affect the Group’s profit and classification of cash flows. Some of the commitments maybe covered by the exception for short-term and low value leases and some commitments may relate to arrangements that will not qualify as leases under AASB 16. | Mandatory for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2019. At this stage the Group does not intend to adopt the standard before its effective date. |

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

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.
Revenue Recognition
| Key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|---|---|
| Refer to note 3 of the accompanying financial statements | Our procedures, amongst others, included: |
| The amount of revenue and profit recognised during the year in relation to interest, application and credit fees is dependent on the company correctly recognising revenue appropriately over the life of a loan using the effective interest rate method. | • Our Information Technology specialists were used, in conjunction with other audit procedures, to test the Group's controls over: loan initiation and approval; standard terms, fees and charges; calculation of interest, revenue and deferred revenue in respect of fees and charges; controls for recording transactions in the company's loan systems and the general ledger; and testing for duplicate loans. |
| As there are a large number of loan contracts and the terms vary by product, significant risk exists that revenue is incorrectly recognised. In our view, revenue recognition is significant to our audit as the Group may inappropriately account for interest, application and credit fees potentially leading to revenue and profit not being recognised consistently over the life of a loan contract using the effective interest rate method. | • Detailed analysis of deferred fees and charges to ensure they are recognised over the life of a loan using the effective interest rate method in accordance with Accounting Standards. |
| • Detailed analysis of revenue and the timing of its recognition based on expectations derived from our industry knowledge and knowledge of the company's products, fees and charges, following up variances from our expectations. |
Loans receivable and adequacy of allowance for impairment losses
| Key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|---|---|
| Refer to note 6 of the accompanying financial statements | Our procedures amongst others, included: |
| The Group has a large number of short term loan contracts, and customers are often financially challenged and generally have a poorer credit history than borrowers from other mainstream lending institutions. Due to these circumstances, a significant risk exists that the company's allowance for impairment losses may be understated and consequently net loan receivables and profit may be overstated. | • Testing of controls around the aging of debts in the company's loan software system and the appropriateness and application of the business rules for recognising loans in default. |
| • Detailed analysis of loans in arrears or subject to special payment terms using prior periods history of loans in these categories subsequently going into default and using this evidence to support the appropriateness of the impairment allowance at year end. |
Money3 Corporation Limited | Annual Report 2017
Independent Auditor's Report
continued
BDO
In our view, correctly estimating the allowance for impairment losses against loans receivable is significant to our audit.
- Detailed analysis of management’s estimate of the impairment allowance and the adequacy of procedures and processes adopted by management.
- Detailed analysis of the impairment allowance based on expectations derived from our industry knowledge and knowledge of the Groups credit risk and following up variances from our expectations.
Carrying value of Goodwill - Impairment Assessment
| Key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|---|---|
| Refer to note 9 of the accompanying financial statements |
Goodwill is allocated across three cash generating unit’s (CGU’s), as set out in Note 9.
In our view, correctly estimating the recoverable amount of goodwill for each CGU using a value in use (VIU) methodology and whether or not an impairment charge is necessary is significant to our audit. These calculations involve judgements by management about the budgeted cash flows for the 30 June 2018 financial year, future growth rates of revenue and expenses of the business in each CGU, discount rates and terminal growth rates applied to future cash flow forecasts for each CGU and sensitivities of inputs and assumptions used in the VIU models. | Our procedures amongst others, included:
- Obtaining an understanding of the key controls associated with the preparation of the VIU models and critically evaluating management’s methodologies and their documented basis for key assumptions.
- Agreeing VIU cash flows for the 30 June 2018 financial year to the latest board approved budgets.
- Corroborating assumptions for key inputs in the VIU model for each CGU to forecast revenue growth rates, forecast expense growth rates, discount rates and terminal growth rates by comparing forecasts to historical actuals.
- Using our valuation specialists to critically assess management’s discount rates based on external data where available.
- Performing a sensitivity analysis on the key financial assumptions in the VIU models for each CGU. These included sensitised revenue forecasts, revenue multipliers used in the terminal year of cash flows, and the discount rates applied. |

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:
