2014 Annual Report

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
I am pleased to report that the Company achieved growth and record results across all key areas for 2014.
Highlights include:
-
Revenue increased 8% to a record $3,267,253 (2013: $3,023,144).
-
Pre-tax profit increased 38% to a record $965,846 (2013: $700,828)
-
Net profit increased 9% to a record $717,541 (2013: $657,835)
-
Cash balance increased 105% to a record $1,077,840 (2013: $526,854)
-
Customer base of operational schools grew by 15.7% to a record 1,088 schools (2013: 940)
-
MGM Pinpoint successfully launched
-
Strong growth in MGM RollMarker Sales
-
Dividend of 1.1 cent per share declared (2013: 1.0c)
The net profit of $717,541 – an increase of 9% on $657,835 the previous year was affected by a significant increased tax expense of $205K, up 477% on the previous year, a notional non-cash cost associated with the issue of options to Directors after last year’s AGM of $107K and a reduction in amortisation to $498K.
A record pre-tax profit of $965,846 for the year ended 30 June 2014 was achieved, up 38% on the previous year. This was the Company’s fourth consecutive year of rising profits.
The solid result was achieved from an 8% increase in revenue to $3.27 million and after continued substantial spending on research and development which exceeded $1.46m; up from $1.4m in 2013. The Company’s commitment to R&D included ongoing investment in our leading edge student safety product, MGM Pinpoint, and a range of other new products for market release. The R&D tax offset rebate declined due to a rise in non-claimable expenditure.
Throughout the year, MGM Wireless continued to develop the market for its product base, with continued new school signings and strong sales of MGM RollMarker in

the most recent quarter. SMS message traffic continued to expand, rising 14% year on year.
Australian wholesale SMS prices increased during the December 2103 quarter. MGM Wireless has sought to limit the effect of these price increases on our school client base, however these charges have now been passed on in full, with some impact on margins across the year. Starting in February 2014, the company formulated and released a new and innovative approach to SMS pricing plans, which resulted in the successful market acceptance of these price increases.
To reflect the maturing of the Company’s business development, the Board has performed an assessment of the useful life of its product base (which is comprised of capitalised R&D). In the current year, the Company has capitalised $567,719 of the total of its $1.26M of claimable R&D expenditure, and has assessed the useful lives of the associated products to be three years. As such, the Company plans to amortise this amount fully over a three-year period. Offsetting part of this effect was an amortisation charge of $44K to Distribution Rights, currently being recorded at a value of $441,017. The Company plans to amortise the full amount over its 10-year useful life.
EBITDA was affected by these changes, resulting in a 16% decrease to $1,154,683 (2013: $1,384,563). Over the next year, we expect the effective tax rate to reach 30% as the carried forward losses are expected to be fully utilised, however, the Company will generate franking credits as tax payments are made.
Net cash flow from operations jumped from $0.91M in 2012-13 to $1.06M in 201314, resulting in a large increase in cash balances, to $1.08M, as at 30 June 2014. This solid result was achieved after payment of a maiden Dividend ($83,691) and cash acquisition cost for PaySchool assets ($46,000). These cash balances offset shareholder loans to the Company, the Company’s only debt, of $200K (down from $300K as at 30 June 2012). In view of the stronger than expected financial results and the large cash balances, the Directors have resolved to declare an unfranked dividend of 1.1 cent per share, for the year ended 30 June 2014.
Strong program of innovation
The Company continues to build the business though a strong program of innovation based on recurring revenue business models. The Company has a growing portfolio of exciting products, all of which complement each other in terms of workflow and data exchange. Our large, diversified and profitable customer base continues to grow, and our significant investments in R&D remain fully internally funded.

2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
MGM has an impressive organisational capability to develop and commercialise innovative leading products. In particular, over the past six months we were pleasantly surprised with the surge in market enthusiasm and sales of RollMarker – a product that we have been working on for almost four years. Suddenly this year, the market began to understand the unique capabilities RollMarker offers, and the interest, sales and enthusiasm from clients has been outstanding.
The number of contracted school and child care centre clients was 1,124, a 7% increase from 1,053 over the year earlier. However, this indicator doesn’t reveal an important underlying trend of the Company achieving a higher revenue per customer. Demand for the Company’s leading products continues to expand.
Reflective of the Board’s assessment of the useful lives of its product base, for the six months to June 30, 2014, EBITDA was down by 30% to $669,124 (2013: $955,098) with an increase in net profit by 30% to $585,063 (2013: $448,656), and for the same period the Company grew its customer base of operational schools by 44 new schools, as compared to an increase of 71 schools for the six months to June 30, 2013.
In February 2014, the Company launched MGM Pinpoint – an App that works with MGM’s messageyou and Outreach SMS messaging solutions to allow parents to instantly locate their child if they are in danger or absent from school. Approximately 1,700 parents have since installed and used this service. The feedback from Parents and schools has been generally very positive, with requests for important additional functionality, which the Company is currently developing. We expect to release an upgraded MGM Pinpoint version later this year.
Our acquisition of the PaySchool product announced in April 2014 has been completed. The Company has developed a marketing and sales approach to release this solution to both existing and new clients, however some important additional functionality and integration with our current portfolio of products is first required.
Innovation and commercialisation of a market-leading suite of products remain the key drivers of the Company’s success. MGM Wireless is aggressively expanding its product portfolio and is leveraging the opportunity afforded by cloud and smartphone technologies, as can be seen with the recent stunning success of MGM RollMarker and the expected success of MGM Pinpoint in due course.
These new product releases are diversifying the Company’s revenue base and transforming MGM Wireless from a communications focus to a broader range of products

for student safety, parent engagement and productivity improvements for school staff. Productivity improvements from MGM products lead to a sustainable increase in school funding – a key outcome all schools are trying to achieve.
Through 2014-15, the Company will continue to progressively release a number of important upgrades to existing products and will launch new products for both schools and parents. Parents have demonstrated time and again their desire to be well engaged with their child’s school and seek more and more information on their activities, progress and security. It’s a well-accepted principle that learning outcomes improve when parents are informed and engaged in their child’s school activities.
Smartphones and tablets are great technology enablers that have the potential to engage parents and significantly improve teacher and school staff productivity. MGM Wireless is developing apps to help both schools and parents communicate and perform more effectively.
The opportunity for MGM in the school and childcare markets is significant. Our new products are broadening our revenue base. Streamlining existing school business process with today’s technology to reduce school costs and improve educational outcomes for students remains a great business opportunity for MGM.

2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
Research and development spending was directed at both existing products, to ensure that they are able to sustain their position as market leaders, and new products which will open new avenues for revenue generation.
The Board has performed an assessment of the useful life of its product base (which is comprised of capitalised R&D). In the current year, the Company has capitalised $567,719 of the total of its $1.26M of claimable R&D expenditure, and has assessed the useful lives of the associated products to be three years. As such, the Company plans to amortise this amount over a three-year period. Offsetting part of this effect was an amortisation charge of $44K to Distribution Rights, currently being recorded at a value of $441,017. The Company plans to amortise the full amount over its 10-year useful life.
EBITDA was affected by these changes resulting in a 16% decrease to $1,154,683 (2013: $1,384,563). Over the next year, we expect the effective tax rate to reach 30% as the carried forward losses are expected to be fully utilised, however, the Company will generate franking credits as tax payments are made.

Revenue for the full year was 8% higher at $3,267,253 (2013: $3,023,144). 2. Net profit 9% increase to $717,541 (2013: $657,835)

Remuneration Report (Audited)
This remuneration report, which forms part of the Directors’ report, details the nature and amount of remuneration for each Director and xecutive of MGM Wireless Limited. The information provided in the remuneration report includes remuneration disclosures that are audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001.
For the purposes of this report Key Management Personnel of the Group 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 parent company, and includes executives in the parent group receiving the highest remuneration.
For the purposes of this report the term “executive” includes those key management personnel who are not directors of the parent company.
1. Remuneration Committee
The full Board carries out the role and responsibilities of the Remuneration Committee and is responsible for determining and reviewing the compensation arrangements for the Directors themselves, the Managing Director and any executives.
Executive remuneration is reviewed annually having regard to individual and business performance, relevant comparative remuneration and internal and independent external advice.
A. Remuneration Policy
The board policy is to remunerate directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of Directors’ fees that can be paid is subject to approval by shareholders in general meeting, from time to time. Fees for non-executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the consolidated entity. However, to align Directors’ interests with shareholders‘ interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company.
The executive Directors and full time executives receive a superannuation

----- End of picture text -----
guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9.25%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.
All remuneration paid to Directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed.
The Board believes that it has implemented suitable practices and procedures that are appropriate for an organisation of this size and maturity.
The Company did not pay any performance-based component of remuneration during the year.
B. Remuneration Structure
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of nonexecutive Director and executive compensation is separate and distinct.
Non-executive Director Compensation
Objective:
The Board seeks to set aggregate compensation 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.
Structure
The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate compensation of non-executive Directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the Directors as agreed.
The amount of aggregate compensation sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst Directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers advice from external consultants as appropriate as well as the fees paid to nonexecutive Directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process. Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration may include an incentive portion consisting of options, as considered appropriate by the Board, which may be subject to Shareholder approval in accordance with ASX listing rules.

==> picture [596 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
Separate from their duties as Directors, the Non-Executive Directors undertake work for the Company directly related to the evaluation and implementation of various business opportunities, including information / evaluation and new business ventures, for which they receive a daily rate. These payments are made pursuant to individual agreements with the non-executive Directors and are not taken into account when determining their aggregate remuneration levels.
Executive Compensation
Objective
The entity aims to reward executives with a level and mix of compensation commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the entity so as to:
-
reward executives for Company and individual performance against targets set by appropriate benchmarks;
-
align the interests of executives with those of shareholders;
-
link rewards with the strategic goals and performance of the Company; and
-
ensure total compensation is competitive by market standards.
Structure
In determining the level and make-up of executive remuneration, the Board negotiates a remuneration to reflect the market salary for a position and individual of comparable responsibility and experience. Due to the limited size of the Company and its operations and financial affairs, the use of a separate remuneration committee has not been considered appropriate. Remuneration is regularly compared with the external market by particpation in industry salary surveys and during recruitment activities generally. If required, the Board may engage an external consultant to provide independent advice in the form of a written report detailing market levels of remuneration for comparable executive roles.
Remuneration consists of a fixed remuneration and a long term incentive portion as considered appropriate. Compensation may consist of the following key elements:
-
Fixed Compensation;
-
Variable Compensation;
-
Short Term Incentive (STI); and
-
Long Term Incentive (LTI).

----- Start of picture text -----
2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
Fixed Remuneration
The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and is competitive in the market. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board having regard to the Company and individual performance, relevant comparable remuneration in the information technology sector and external advice. The fixed remuneration is a base salary or monthly consulting fee.
Variable Pay — Long Term Incentives
The objective of long term incentives is to reward Directors / executives in a manner which aligns this element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. The incentive portion is payable based upon attainment of objectives related to the Director’s / executive’s job responsibilities. The objectives vary, but all are targeted to relate directly to the Company’s business and financial performance and thus to shareholder value.
Long term incentives (LTI’s) granted to Directors / executives are delivered in the form of options.
LTI grants to Executives are delivered in the form of employee share options. These options are issued at an exercise price determined by the Board at the time of issue. The employee share options generally vest over a selected period.
The objective of the granting of options is to reward Executives in a manner which aligns the element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. As such LTI’s are made to Executives who are able to influence the generation of shareholder wealth and thus have an impact on the Company’s performance.
The level of LTI granted is, in turn, dependent on the Company’s recent share price performance, the seniority of the Executive, and the responsibilities the Executive assumes in the Company.
Typically, the grant of LTIs occurs at the commencement of employment or in the event that the individual receives a promotion and, as such, is not subsequently affected by the individual’s performance over time.

3. The Board of Directors
(a) Roles and Responsibilities of the Board
The Board is accountable to the shareholders and investors for the overall performance of the Company and takes responsibility for monitoring the Company’s business and affairs and setting its strategic direction, establishing and overseeing the Company’s financial position.
The Board is responsible for:
-
ensuring the Company’s conduct and activities are ethical and carried out for the benefit of all its stakeholders;
-
development of corporate strategy, implementation of business plans and performance objectives;
-
reviewing, ratifying and monitoring systems of risk management, codes of conduct and legal and regulatory compliance;
-
the appointment of the Company’s Managing Director, Chief Executive Officer (or equivalent), Chief Financial Officer, Company Secretary and other senior

executives;
-
monitoring senior executives’ performance and implementation of strategy;
-
determining appropriate remuneration policies;
-
allocating resources and ensuring appropriate resources are available to management;
-
approving and monitoring the annual budget, progress of major capital expenditure, capital management, and acquisitions and divestitures; and
-
approving and monitoring financial and other reporting.
Other than as specifically reserved to the Board, responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Company’s business activities is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Management.
(b) Board Composition
The Directors determine the composition of the Board employing the following principles:
-
the Board, in accordance with the Company’s constitution must comprise a minimum of three Directors;
-
the Board should represent a broad range of qualifications, experience and expertise considered of benefit to the Company; and
-
the Board must be structured in such a way that it has a proper understanding of, and competency in the current and emerging issues facing the Company, and can effectively review management’s decisions.
At the end of the financial year, the Board comprised of three Executive Directors. The Board appointed a Non-Executive Director July 2014 (refer to Subsequent Events). The skills, experience, expertise, qualifications and terms of office of each Director in office at the date of the annual report is included in the Directors’ Report.
The Board does not currently comprise a majority of non-executive Directors. Given the size and scale of the Company’s current operations, the Board does not consider it essential, or cost effective, to appoint further independent Directors at this time.

MGM Wireless Ltd.
41
==> picture [596 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
The Chair is not independent and the role of Chair and chief executive officer are exercised by the same person. The Board considers that, at this stage of the Company’s development, the executive role carried out by the Chairman is in the best interests of the Company.
The Company’s constitution requires one-third of the Directors (or the next lowest whole number) to retire by rotation at each Annual General Meeting (AGM). The Directors to retire at each AGM are those who have been longest in office since their last election. Where Directors have served for equal periods, they may agree amongst themselves or determine by lot who will retire. A Director must retire in any event at the third AGM since he or she was last elected or re-elected. Retiring Directors may offer themselves for re-election.
A Director appointed as an additional or casual Director by the Board will hold office until the next AGM when they may be re-elected.
The Executive Chairman is not subject to retirement by rotation and, along with any Director appointed as an additional or casual Director, is not to be taken into account in determining the number of Directors required to retire by rotation.
(c) Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
The Chairman is responsible for:
-
leadership of the Board;
-
the efficient organisation and conduct of the Board’s functions;
-
the promotion of constructive and respectful relations between Board members and between the Board and management;
-
contributing to the briefing of Directors in relation to issues arising at Board meetings;
-
facilitating the effective contribution of all Board members; and
-
committing the time necessary to effectively discharge the role of the Chairman.

2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for:
-
implementing the Company’s strategies and policies; and
-
the day-to-day management of the Company’s business activities.
Board policy specifies that the roles of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer should be separate roles to be undertaken by separate people. Presently, the role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are exercised by the same person. The Board considers that, at this stage of the Company’s development, the executive role carried out by the Chairman is in the best interests of the Company. The Board will monitor the need to separate these roles as the Company’s circumstances change.
(d) Nomination Committee
The Company does not comply with ASX Recommendation 2.4. The Company is not of a relevant size to consider formation of a nomination committee to deal with the selection and appointment of new Directors and as such a nomination committee has not been formed.
Nominations of new Directors are considered by the full Board. If any vacancies arise on the Board, all Directors are involved in the search and recruitment of a replacement. The Board has taken a view that the full Board will hold special meetings or sessions as required. The Board are confident that this process for selection and review is stringent and full details of all Directors are provided to shareholders in the annual report and on the Company’s website.
(e) Independent Directors
The Company recognises that independent Directors are important in assuring shareholders that the Board is properly fulfilling its role and is diligent in holding senior management accountable for its performance. The Board assesses each of the Directors against specific criteria to decide whether they are in a position to exercise independent judgment.
Directors of MGM Wireless Limited are considered to be independent when they

MGM Wireless Ltd.
43
==> picture [596 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
are independent of management and free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgement.
In making this assessment, the Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances. Relationships that the Board will take into consideration when assessing independence are whether a Director:
-
is a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the Company;
-
is employed, or has previously been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another Company member, and there has not been a period of at least three years between ceasing such employment and serving on the Board;
-
has within the last three years been a principal of a material professional advisor or a material consultant to the Company or another Company member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided;
-
is a material supplier or customer of the Company or other Company member, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer; or
-
has a material contractual relationship with the Company or another Company member other than as a Director.
The Board had one independent Non Executive Director until his resignation from the Board on 28 February 2014.
In accordance with the definition of independence above, and the materiality thresholds set, the following Directors of MGM Wireless Limited were considered to be independent:
Name Position Shaun Collopy Non-Executive Director
In assessing Mr Collopy’s independence, account has been taken of his current role with the Company on special projects. It is not considered that this relationship with the Company in any way compromises his independence whilst he was a non-executive Director of the Company.

The following persons were Directors of MGM Wireless Limited during the financial
year:
| Name | Term of Office |
|---|---|
| Mark Fortunatow | Since 3 October 2003 |
| Mark Hurd | Since 3 October 2003 |
| Shaun Collopy | Since 15 July 2009 – resigned |
| 28 February 2014 | |
| Tara Lewis-Christie | Since 26 February 2014 |
The Board does not currently comprise a majority of independent non-executive Directors. Given the size and scale of the Company’s current operations, the Board does not consider it essential to appoint further independent Directors at this time. The Board appointed an independent Director effective 7 July 2014 (refer to Subsequent Events). The Board will continue to monitor the need to appoint additional non-executive Directors, as considered appropriate.
The Board recognises the importance of independent views and, in the Board’s role in supervising the activities of management, the Chairman should be a Non-Executive Director. The Board considers that, at this stage of the Company’s development, the executive role carried out by the Chairman is in the best interests of the Company.
(f) Avoidance of conflicts of interest by a Director
In order to ensure that any interests of a Director in a particular matter to be considered by the Board are known by each Director, each Director is required by the Company to disclose any relationships, duties or interests held that may give rise to a potential conflict. Directors are required to adhere strictly to constraints on their participation and voting in relation to any matters in which they may have an interest.
(g) Board access to information and independent advice
Directors are able to access members of the management team at any time to request relevant information.
There are procedures in place, agreed by the Board, to enable Directors, in

2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
furtherance of their duties, to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense.
(h) Review of Board and senior executives’ performance
The performance of the Board and senior executives‘ is reviewed regularly by the Chairman. The Chairman conducts performance evaluations which involve an assessment of each Board member and senior executives’ performance against specific and measurable qualitative and quantitative performance criteria. The Board member and senior executive assessment measures are the responsibility of the Chairman. The performance criteria against which Directors and senior executives are assessed is aligned with the financial and non-financial objectives of MGM Wireless Limited. Primarily, the review will be carried out through consultation by the Chairman and with individual Directors and senior executives’. A performance evaluation of the Board, Directors and senior executives, in accordance with the process disclosed did take place during the reporting period.
4. Board Committees
(a) Audit Committee
Given the size and scale of the Company’s operations the full Board undertakes the role of the Audit Committee.
Recommendation 4.2 is not complied with as the full Board undertakes the role of the Audit Committee.
4.3 is not complied with as there is no Audit Committee and hence no formal charter. The role and responsibilities of the full Board undertaking the role of the Audit Committee are summarised below.
The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the integrity of the Company’s financial statements and overseeing the independence of the external auditors. The Board sets aside time to deal with issues and responsibilities usually delegated to the Audit Committee to ensure the integrity of the financial statements of the Company and the independence of the auditor.
The Board reviews the audited annual and half-year financial statements and any

MGM Wireless Ltd.
46
==> picture [596 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
reports which accompany published financial statements and recommends their approval to the members. The Board also reviews annually the appointment of the external auditor, their independence and their fees.
The Board is also responsible for establishing policies on risk oversight and management. The Company has not formed a separate Risk Management Committee due to the size and scale of its operations.
External Auditors
The Company’s policy is to appoint external auditors who clearly demonstrate quality and independence. The performance of the external auditor is reviewed annually and applications for tender of external audit services are requested as deemed appropriate, taking into consideration assessment of performance, existing value and tender costs.
An analysis of fees paid to the external auditors, including a break-down of fees for non-audit services, is provided in the notes to the financial statements in the Annual Report.
There is no indemnity provided by the Company to the auditor in respect of any potential liability to third parties. The external auditor is requested to attend the annual general meeting and be available to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit and preparation and content of the audit report.
There were no non-audit services provided by the auditors during the year.
(b) Remuneration Committee
The role of a Remuneration Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities in respect of establishing appropriate remuneration levels and incentive policies for employees.
The Board has not established a separate Remuneration Committee due to the size and scale of its operations. This does not comply with Recommendation 8.1 however the Board as a whole takes responsibility for such issues.
The responsibilities include setting policies for senior officers remuneration, setting

----- Start of picture text -----
2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
the terms and conditions for the CEO, reviewing and making recommendations to the Board on the Company’s incentive schemes and superannuation arrangements, reviewing the remuneration of both executive and non-executive Directors and undertaking reviews of the CEO’s performance.
The Company has structured the remuneration of its senior executives, where applicable, such that it comprises a fixed salary, statutory superannuation and, where applicable, participation in the Company’s employee share option plan. The Company believes that by remunerating senior executives in this manner it rewards them for performance and aligns their interests with those of shareholders and increases the Company’s performance.
Non-executive Directors are paid their fees out of the maximum aggregate amount approved by shareholders for non-executive Director remuneration. The non-executive Directors do not participate in any schemes for retirement benefits, other than superannuation. The Company does not adhere to Recommendation 8.2 Box 8.2 ‘Nonexecutive Directors should not receive options or bonus payments’. The Company has and may, in the future, grant options to non-executive Directors. The Board is of the view that options (for both executive and non-executive Directors) are a cost effective benefit for small companies such as MGM Wireless Limited that seek to conserve cash reserves. They also provide an incentive that ultimately benefits both shareholders and the option holders, as option holders will only benefit if the market value of the underlying shares exceeds the option strike price. Ultimately, shareholders will make that determination.
The Board‘s policy is to remunerate Directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the Directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the consolidated entity. However, to align Directors’ interests with shareholders’ interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company.
The Company’s aim is to remunerate at a level that will attract and retain highcalibre Directors and employees.
Company officers and Directors are remunerated to a level consistent with the size of the Company.
The Board believes that it has implemented suitable practices and procedures that are appropriate for an organisation of this size and maturity.

2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of NonExecutive Director and Executive compensation is separate and distinct.
In determining remuneration, the Board has taken a view that the full Board will hold special meetings or sessions as required. No Director participated in any deliberation regarding his or her own remuneration or related issues. The Board are confident that this process for determining remuneration is stringent and full details of remuneration policies and remuneration received by Directors and executives in the current period is contained in the “Remuneration Report” commencing on page 25 of this Annual Report.
5. Ethical and Responsible Decision Making
(a) Code of Ethics and Conduct
Although, due to the limited size of the Company, a code of conduct has not been established, the Board endeavours to ensure that the Directors, officers and employees of the Company act with integrity and observe the highest standards of behaviour and business ethics in relation to their corporate activities.
Senior managers are expected to ensure that employees, contractors, consultants, agents and partners under their supervision are aware of the Company’s expectations.
All Directors, officers and employees are expected to:
-
comply with the law;
-
act in the best interests of the Company;
-
be responsible and accountable for their actions; and
-
observe the ethical principles of fairness, honesty and truthfulness, including prompt disclosure of potential conflicts.
(b) Diversity Policy
The Company has established a diversity policy and a summary of the policy is available on the Company‘s website.
At this stage however, due to the limited size of the Company and scale of its
==> picture [27 x 27] intentionally omitted <==
MGM Wireless Ltd.
49
==> picture [596 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
operations, the Board has not established measureable objectives for achieving gender diversity. The policy does not include requirements for the Board to establish and annually assess measurable objectives and the progress towards achieving them.
The proportion of women employees in the organisation, women in senior executive positions and women on the Board is as follows:
| Women | Total | |
|---|---|---|
| Organisation | 6 | 17 |
| Senior executive positions | 1 | 5 |
| Board | 2 | 4 |
6. Timely and Balanced Disclosure and Respecting the Rights of Shareholders
(a) Shareholder communication
Due to the limited size of the Company it is not considered that a communications policy is required.
The Company believes that all shareholders should have equal and timely access to material information about the Company including its financial situation, performance, ownership and governance. The Company endeavours to effectively communicate with its shareholders by requiring that Company announcements:
-
be factual and subject to internal vetting and authorisation before issue;
-
be made in a timely manner;
-
not omit material information;
-
be expressed in a clear and objective manner to allow investors to assess the impact of the information when making investment decisions;
-
be in compliance with ASX Listing Rules continuous disclosure requirements; and
-
be placed on the Company’s website promptly following release.
Shareholders are encouraged to participate in general meetings. Copies of

2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
addresses by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are disclosed to the market and posted on the Company’s website. The Company’s external auditor attends the Company’s annual general meeting to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the audit report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company and the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.
(b) Continuous disclosure policy
The Company does not have a written disclosure policy. It is not considered that a written policy is required at this time due to the size of the Company and the limited scale of its operations.
The Company is committed to ensuring that shareholders and the market are provided with full and timely information and that all stakeholders have equal opportunities to receive externally available information issued by the Company. This approach reinforces the Company’s commitment to continuous disclosure and outlines management’s accountabilities and the processes to be followed for ensuring compliance.
The Company Secretary has been nominated as the person responsible for communications with the ASX. This role includes responsibility for ensuring compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements with the ASX Listing Rules and overseeing and coordinating information disclosure to the ASX.
7.Recognising and Managing Risk
The Board is responsible for ensuring there are adequate policies in relation to risk management, compliance and internal control systems. The Company’s policies are designed to ensure strategic, operational, legal, reputation and financial risks are identified, assessed, effectively and efficiently managed and monitored to enable achievement of the Company’s business objectives. Considerable importance is placed on maintaining a strong control environment. There is an organisation structure with clearly drawn responsibilities.

2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
(a) Board oversight of the risk management system
The Company is not currently considered to be of a size, nor is its affairs of such complexity to justify the establishment of a separate Risk Management Committee. Instead, the Board, as part of its usual role and through direct involvement in the management of the Company’s operations ensures risks are identified, assessed and appropriately managed. Where necessary, the Board draws on the expertise of appropriate external consultants to assist in dealing with or mitigating risk.
The Board is responsible for approving and overseeing the risk management system. The Board reviews, at least annually, the effectiveness of the implementation of the risk management controls and procedures.
The principle aim of the system of internal control is the management of business risks, with a view to enhancing the value of shareholders‘ investments and safeguarding assets. Although no system of internal control can provide absolute assurance that the business risks will be fully mitigated, the internal control systems have been designed to meet the Company‘s specific needs and the risks to which it is exposed.
Annually, the Board is responsible for identifying the risks facing the Company, assessing the risks and ensuring that there are controls for these risks, which are to be designed to ensure that any identified risk is reduced to an acceptable level.
The Board is also responsible for identifying and monitoring areas of significant business risk. Internal control measures currently adopted by the Board include:
- at least quarterly reporting to the Board in respect of operations and the Company’s financial position, with a comparison of actual results against budget; and regular reports to the Board by the Company’s Auditors, outlining the nature of particular risks and highlighting measures which are either in place or can be adopted to manage or mitigate those risks.
(b) Risk management roles and responsibilities
The Board is responsible for approving and reviewing the Company’s risk management strategy and policy. Executive management is responsible for implementing the Board approved risk management strategy and developing policies, controls, processes and procedures to identify and manage risks in all of the Company’s activities.

The Board is responsible for satisfying itself that management has developed and implemented a sound system of risk management and internal control.
(c) Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer Certification
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or equivalent, provide to the Board written certification that in all material respects:
-
The Company’s financial statements present a true and fair view of the Company’s financial condition and operational results and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards;
-

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
MGM Wireless Limited (the Company) is a limited Company incorporated in Australia. The addresses of its registered office and principal place of business are disclosed in the introduction to the annual report. The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group) are described on page 19 of the Annual Report.
2. Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards
2.1 Adopted in current period (and/or prior periods)
The following new and revised Standards and Interpretations have been adopted in the current period and have affected the presentation, disclosure and/or amounts reported in these financial statements. Details of other Standards and Interpretations have been adopted in these financial statements but that have had no effect are set out in section 2.2 .
AASB 2011-4 ‘Amendments This standard removes the individual key management to Australian Accounting personnel disclosure requirements in AASB 124 ‘Related Standards to Remove Party Disclosures’. As a result the Group only discloses Individual Key Management the key management personnel compensation in total Personnel Disclosure and for each of the categories required in AASB 124. Requirements”
In the current year the individual key management personnel disclosure previously required by AASB 124 (note 45.2.1 and 45.3.2 in the 30 June 2013 financial statements) is now disclosed in the remuneration report due to an amendment to Corporations Regulations 2001 issued in June 2013.
AASB 2012-2 ‘Amendments The Group has applied the amendments to AASB 7 to Australian Accounting ‘Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Standards – Disclosures – Liabilities’ for the first time in the current year. The Offsetting Financial Assets amendments to AASB 7 require entities to disclose and Financial Liabilities’ information about rights of offset and related arrangements (such as collateral posting requirements)

for financial instruments under an enforceable master netting agreement or similar arrangement.
The amendments have been applied retrospectively. As the Group does not have any offsetting arrangements in place, the application of the amendments does not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
AASB 12 ‘Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities’ and AASB 2011-7 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards’
AASB 12 is a new disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the application of AASB 12 has resulted in more extensive disclosures in the consolidated financial statements
2.2 Standards and Interpretations affecting the reported results or financial position
There are no new and revised Standards and Interpretations adopted in these financial statements affecting the reporting results or financial position.
2.3 Standards and Interpretations adopted with no effect on financial statements
The following new and revised Standards and Interpretations have also been adopted in these financial statements. Their adoption has not had any significant impact on the amounts reported in these financial statements but may affect the accounting for future transactions or arrangements.
AASB 2012-5 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Annual Improvements 20092011 Cycle’
The Annual Improvements to AASBs 2009 - 2011 have made a number of amendments to AASBs. The amendments that are relevant to the Group are the amendments to AASB 101 regarding when a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period (third statement of financial position) and the related notes are required to be presented. The

----- End of picture text -----
amendments specify that a third statement of financial position is required when a) an entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively, or makes a retrospective restatement or reclassification of items in its financial statements, and b) the retrospective application, restatement or reclassification has a material effect on the information in the third statement of financial position. The amendments specify that related notes are not required to accompany the third statement of financial position.
AASB CF 2013-1 ‘Amendments to the Australian Conceptual Framework’ and AASB 2013-9 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Conceptual Framework, Materiality and Financial Instruments’ (Part A Conceptual Framework)
This amendment has incorporated IASB’s Chapters 1 and 3 Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting as an Appendix to the Australian Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements. The
amendment also included not-for-profit specific paragraphs to help clarify the concepts from the perspective of not-for-profit entities in the private and public sectors.
As a result the Australian Conceptual Framework now supersedes the objective and the qualitative characteristics of financial statements, as well as the guidance previously available in Statement of Accounting Concepts SAC 2 ‘Objective of General Purpose Financial Reporting’. The adoption of this amending standard does not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
3.1 Statement of compliance
The 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 of the Group. For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity.
Accounting Standards include Australian Accounting Standards. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes of the Company and the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 29 September 2014.
3.2 Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for certain non-current assets and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. Fair

MGM Wireless Ltd.

==> picture [596 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of AASB 2, leasing transactions that are within the scope of AASB 117, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in AASB 2 or value in use in AASB 136.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
-
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
-
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability
Going Concern
The Directors believe after consideration of the following factors, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company and the consolidated entity will be able to continue as going concerns:
-
The Group‘s revenue growth and continued profitability for the year ended 30 June 2014, and management projections of further revenue growth and positive bottom line performance as new products are installed with new and existing clients;
-
The Group meeting its commitments and the continued improvement in the Group‘s current net asset position.
Accordingly, the Directors believe that the parent and consolidated entity will continue as going concerns and that it is appropriate to adopt that basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial report.

2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
3.3 Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of MGM Wireless Limited (the Company) and entities controlled by MGM Wireless Limited (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved when the Company:
-
has power over the investee;
-
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
-
has the ability to use 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 of control listed above.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same period as MGM Wireless Limited using consistent accounting policies.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all interCompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.
The acquisition of subsidiaries has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the business combination to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements include the results of subsidiaries for the period from their acquisition.
3.4 Revenue recognition
The basis of revenue recognition remains consistent and is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. (Refer Note 4.1.1 - Notes to the Financial Statements).

3.5 Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the entities in the group is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.
Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange difference arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
Translation
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency are translated as follows:
-
Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date.
-
Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period.
-
Retained profits are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
-
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the foreign currency reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which the operation is disposed.

3.6 Government grants
Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognised as deferred revenue in the statement of financial position and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.
3.7 Taxation
3.7.1 Current Tax
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 sheet date.
3.7.2 Deferred Tax
Deferred income tax is recognised on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial statements 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 goodwill or 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

==> picture [596 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
- 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 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 sheet 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 sheet 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.
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.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income legislation and the

----- End of picture text -----
anticipation that the Group will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.
3.7.3 Goods and Services tax
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 balance sheet.
Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement 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.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
3.8 Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated on a reducing-balance basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:
-
Plant and equipment – over 5 to 10 years
-
Leasehold improvements – 10 years
The assets‘ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

3.9 Intangibles
3.9.1 Intangible assets acquired separately
Intangible assets acquired separately or in a business combination are initially measured at cost. The cost of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is charged against profit or loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with;
-
finite lives are amortised over the useful life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at each financial year-end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, which is a change in accounting estimate. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in profit or loss in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset.
-
indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. Such intangibles are not amortised. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite life is reviewed each reporting period to determine whether indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate and is thus accounted for on a prospective basis.
3.9.2 Internally generated intangible assets- research and development
An intangible asset arising from development expenditure on an internal project is
==> picture [27 x 27] intentionally omitted <==
MGM Wireless Ltd.
75
==> picture [596 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
recognised only when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the development and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. Following the initial recognition of the development expenditure, the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Any expenditure so capitalised is amortised over the period of expected benefits from the related project.
The carrying value of an intangible asset arising from development expenditure is tested for impairment annually when the asset is not yet available for use, or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises during the reporting period.
3.10 Impairment of tangible and Intangible assets
The Group assesses at each reporting 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 cash-generating 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 reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have

76
==> picture [596 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
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 amortisation, 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 the revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the amortisation 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.
3.11 Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
3.11.1 Financial assets
Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ (FVTPL), ‘held-to-maturity’ investments, ‘available-forsale’ (AFS) financial assets and ‘loans and receivables’. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
No financial assets held are classified as financial assets ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ (FVTPL), ‘held-to-maturity’ investments or ‘available-for-sale’ (AFS) financial assets.

2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
3.11.1.1 Loans and receivables
Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as ‘loans and receivables’. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short- term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.
3.11.1.2 Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.
When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.
3.11.1.3 Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset‘s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

==> picture [596 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety (e.g. when the Group retains an option to repurchase part of a transferred asset), the Group allocates the previous carrying amount of the financial asset between the part it continues to recognise under continuing involvement, and the part it no longer recognises on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognised and the sum of the consideration received for the part no longer recognised and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that is no longer recognised on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts.
3.11.2 Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities ‘at FVTPL’ or ‘other financial liabilities’.
There are no financial liabilities classified as ‘at FVTPL‘
3.11.2.1 Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities, including borrowings and trade and other payables, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis.
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, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
3.11.2.2 Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

3.12 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, 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.
When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a borrowing cost.
3.13 Employee benefits
Wages, salaries and annual leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Long service leave
Liabilities recognised in respect of long term employee benefits are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date.
Contributions to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
3.14 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).

MGM Wireless Ltd.
80
==> picture [596 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
When provided, 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 using a Binomial option pricing model.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of MGM Wireless 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 reporting 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 conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date (if applicable). The charge or credit to the statement of comprehensive income 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.
3.15 Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
3.16 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit 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 per share is calculated as net profit 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.
4. Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated judgments are based on historical experience and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

==> picture [596 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
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 revision affects both current and future periods.
4.1 Critical judgements in applying accounting policies
The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (see 4.2 below), that the Directors have made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.
4.1.1 Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.
Specifically, revenue recognition is subject to the following;
-
Events being met, and
-
Revenue timings
Events:
Sale of product/services
Control of the goods (at the signing of the legally enforceable contract) has passed to the buyer.
Interest
Control of a right to receive consideration for the provision of, or investment in, assets has been attained.
Revenue timings:
Sale of product/services
Revenue from the sale of the Groups products/services is recognised in two components;
Component 1: the majority of revenue is brought to account at the start of the contract in line with the majority of expenses being incurred at that time and the revenue being non-refundable.

MGM Wireless Ltd.

==> picture [596 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
Component 2: the balance of revenue is held as a Deferred revenue liability and recognised over the life of the contract as expenses for delivery of the services are incurred.
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the financial asset.
4.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
4.2.1 Recoverability of internally generated intangible asset
During the year, the Directors reconsidered the recoverability of the Group’s internally generated intangible asset arising from its technological development, which is included in the consolidated statement of financial position at 30 June 2014 at $1.49M (30 June 2013: $1.06M).
The carrying value of an intangible asset arising from development expenditure is tested for impairment annually when the asset is not yet available for use, or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises during the reporting period.
The Group assesses at each reporting 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.
4.3 Key Estimates – Impairment
The group assess impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the group that may to lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined.
No impairment has been recognised in respect of intangible assets, as the value-inuse calculation is greater than the carrying value of the assets. Should the projected turnover figures be materially outside of budgeted figures incorporated in value-in-use calculations, an impairment loss could be recognised up to the maximum carrying value of

----- End of picture text -----
intangibles at 30 June 2014 amounting to $1,570,456.
No impairment has been recognised in respect of trade receivables for the year ended 30 June 2014 as the Directors are of the opinion that all the debts are recoverable.
4.3 Key Estimates – Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
As described in note 3 above, the Group reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. During the current year, the Directors determined that the useful lives of these assets are still appropriate and as such, no financial reassessment has been made effecting depreciation expense in the current financial year.

8. Segment Revenues and Results
8.1 Products and services from which reportable segments derive their revenues
Information reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on the types of services delivered or provided. In the current and previous financial years, the Group has only operated in one business sector and reporting to management has been on a geographical basis.
The Group operates predominately in one business segment being the provision of school messaging services and internet related services. The Group functions with a subsidiary operating in each geographical segment. Each Company represents a strategic business unit that offers different risks and rates of returns. This is the basis by which management controls and reviews the operations of the Group.
No operations were discontinued during the current financial year.
8.2 Segment revenues and results
The following is an analysis of the Group’s revenue and results from continuing operations by reportable segment:

Segment revenue reported above represents revenue generated from external customers. There were no inter-segment sales in the current year (2013: nil).
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group‘s accounting policies described in note 3. The segment result for NZ and the USA represents the profit earned by each segment without allocation of central administration costs and Directors‘ salaries, investment revenue, finance costs and income tax expense. These costs are routinely considered to be part of the Australian operations. This is the basis on which segment results are routinely reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.

considered to be 10 years. Other than Capitalised Research and Development costs, those assets entitled “Intellectual Property” have been considered to have useful lives of 10 years. Due to the nature of the projects developed in the current period, Capitalised Research and Development has been amortised over a useful life of 3 years. The current amortisation charges for these intangible assets are included under depreciation and amortisation expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The useful life of intangible assets and impairment considerations of intangibles are subject to management estimates and judgements as discussed in Note 4.2.
Distribution rights have arisen from the acquisition of territory rights from former distributors. These assets have provided the Company the right to operate in the respective territories. The income from those territories; Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland, Victoria and Tasmania is the major part of MGM Wireless‘s income. As the amount of income in respect of these distribution rights has not decreased in any of the territories since acquisition, the Board is of the opinion that the value of the assets remain unchanged and no amortisation is appropriate.

22.1 Capital risk management
Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maximise the return to shareholders and ensure that the group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.
Management effectively manages the group’s capital by assessing the group’s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of expenditure and debt levels and share and option issues.
There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control capital of the group since the prior year. Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and

22.3 Financial risk management
The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, cash and short-term deposits. The Company manages its exposure to key financial risks in accordance with the Company’s financial risk management policy. The objective of the policy is to support the delivery of the Company’s financial targets while protecting future financial security.
The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and foreign currency risk. The Group does not speculate in the trading of derivative instruments. The Company uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rates and assessments of market forecasts for interest rates. Ageing analysis of and monitoring of receivables are undertaken to manage credit risk, liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future rolling cash flow forecasts.
The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below.
Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified

below, including for interest rate risk, credit allowances and cash flow forecast projections.
Interest rate risk
The Company’s exposure to risks of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s cash balances. The Company constantly analyses its interest rate exposure. Within this analysis consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions, alternative financing positions and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates.
Its exposure to interest rate movements is limited to the amount of interest income it can potentially earn on surplus cash deposits. The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the balance sheet date.
At balance date, the Group had the following financial assets exposed to variable interest rates that are not designated in cash flow hedges:
| Cash and cash equivalents (interest-bearing accounts) Net exposure |
30/06/2014 30/06/2013 $ $ 1,077,840 526,854 Group |
|---|---|
| 1,077,840 526,854 |
The sensitivity analysis has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the table below illustrates the effect on post tax profit and equity of the change in cost relevant to the financial assets of the Group:

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has established 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;
monitoring immediate and forecast cash requirements and ensuring adequate cash reserves are maintained,
continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and
matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities based on management’s expectations.
The risk implied from the values shown in the table below reflects a balanced view of cash inflows and outflows within the 2014 financial period.

Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Company, which comprise deposits with banks and trade and other receivables. The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counter party, with the maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The carrying amount of financial assets included in the Statement of Financial Position represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to those assets.
The Company does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure.
The Company trades only with recognised, credit worthy third parties and as such collateral is not requested nor is it the Company’s policy to securitise it trade and other receivables.
Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Company does not have a significant exposure to bad debts. Trade and other receivables are expected to have a maturity of less than 6 months, for both year-ends.
There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Company.
Foreign currency risk
As a result of operations in the USA, being denominated in USD, and operations in New Zealand being denominated in NZD the Group’s balance sheet can be affected by movements in the respective AUD exchange rates. The Company does not hedge this exposure.

2014 Annual Report
----- End of picture text -----
In the reporting period the Groups volume of transactions in both USD and NZ currency was low and deemed immaterial for the year ended 30 June 2014.
The Group manages its foreign exchange risk by constantly reviewing its exposure to commitments payable in foreign currency and ensuring appropriate cash balances are maintained in USD and NZD, to meet current operational commitments.
Management believes the balance date risk exposures are representative of the risk exposure inherent in financial instruments.
Commodity price risk
The Group’s exposure to price risk is minimal given the nature of the Group’s operations.
Fair value
The methods of estimating fair value are outlined in the relevant notes to the financial statements. All financial assets and liabilities recognised in the balance sheet, whether they are carried at cost or fair value, are recognised at amounts that represent a reasonable approximation of fair values unless otherwise stated in the applicable notes.
23. Share-based payments
23.1 Employee share option plan
The Group has an ownership-based compensation plan for executives and senior employees. In accordance with the terms of the plan executives and senior employees may be granted options to purchase ordinary shares. Each share option converts into one ordinary share of MGM Wireless Ltd on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of their vesting to the date of their expiry.

When such objective evidence exists, the Group recognises an allowance for the impairment loss.
In the 2009 financial year Mr Fortunatow and Mr Hurd each advanced the Group the sum of $150,000. During 2013, $100,000 of the loan to Mr Fortunatow was repaid. Interest paid in the current financial year in relation to the loans was $16,719 (2013:, $26,789). These are secured loans.
