CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Chairman’s Report
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to present the Spacetalk Ltd. (“Spacetalk” or “Company”) Annual Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 (“FY21”). Thank you for your continued support and investment. This past year has been challenging for us all and we hope that you, your families, and communities continue to remain healthy and safe.
In spite of extraordinary circumstances, FY21 was a year of significant progress and achievement for Spacetalk. We advanced in our strategy to ensure we remain a global leader in this new, large and rapidly emerging category of kids smartphone watches.
Throughout the year, the Spacetalk team and business performed well. We are a bigger business, significantly better, stronger and well positioned to scale as this fast-growing category gains global awareness and heads towards mass market adoption.
Operationally and financially, we finished the year with excellent results and in a strong position.
Spacetalk’s key financial achievements in FY21 included: Record Group Revenue +44% to $15.1 million.
Device Revenue +65% to $10.6 million.
App Revenue +76% to $2.2 million.
App Annualised Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) +87% to $2.8 million. Schools Business Revenue -18% to $2.2 million.
Gross Profit Margin of 62%. Group EBITDA (excluding non-cash options and share expenses) +615% to $1.1 million.
FY21 in review
During FY21, we successfully launched new products into new markets all while navigating the challenges of COVID-19. This has resulted in the Company delivering strong financial results driven by device sales and growth in app-subscription revenue. The Company generated a record AU$15.1 million of revenue, up 44% for the year.
In the year, Spacetalk achieved significant advances in growing our device and App subscription business. This was enabled by our advances and release in product innovations, increasing brand and category awareness and customer adoption, successfully opening new distribution by tier-1 global retailers and mobile network operators, overlaid with falling customer acquisition costs.
Spacetalk’s key business achievements in FY21 included:
Bringing two new devices to market – the next-generation Spacetalk ADVENTURER for kids and Spacetalk LIFE for seniors.
Launching new distribution partnerships with globally significant Mobile Network Operators, including Telstra and Vodafone in Australia, and Telefonica (O2) and Virgin Mobile in the UK. In all cases, Spacetalk is their sole or flagship product in the kids smartphone watch category.
Increasing our retail presence from 902 to 1,288 bricks and mortar stores globally.
Completing from ground up a new Spacetalk App, with new UI/ UX[1] with engaging network effect features such as group Family Chat that supports picture and video sharing, advanced health and fitness, and enhanced parent controls.
Developing and deploying a ground-breaking, AI[2] and machine learning new technology fall detection capability for Spacetalk LIFE devices.
These results are testament to the tremendous commitment, talent, passion and hard work of the Spacetalk team. Together with our partners, we have delivered strong value to our customers with a best-in market offering distinguished by the following:
-
We offer exceptional hardware and software that is built by us. We are not someone else’s re-branded device and App. The in-house conception, design, development and roll-out of ground-breaking, quality world-class features totally distinguish Spacetalk devices and the Spacetalk App ecosystem from every other competitor. It highlights the uniqueness of our offering amongst other smartphone watch suppliers for kids and seniors.
-
End-to-end, we own the intellectual property and technology. We own the device design, circuitry design, firmware, apps and servers. And of course, we own the brand. This end-to-end, integrated approach means we have the control and ability to build high quality technology and design standards that deliver well integrated, amazing user experiences that set us apart. This also provides other real competitive advantages such as the ability to move quickly to innovate, refine our product for international markets and broader mass market adoption, bring unique new products and features to market, and continuously improve our business model for greater commercial success.
-
We uniquely benefit from nearly two decades of history as a leader in communication technologies for schools and families. This extensive experience brings an in-depth understanding of what families want and value in a kids wearable device, which is reliability to always remain confidently connected, data security and privacy to make sure their kids are safe, and no social media or open internet.
1 UI – user interface. UX – user experience. 2 AI – artificial intelligence.

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
To deliver on this, many complex issues are required to be addressed such as excellent mobile reception quality, high GPS accuracy, correct selection of chipsets, device and firmware/ app software build quality, data security, sovereignty and privacy, compliance with government, regulatory and operator standards and much, much more.
Delivering on these, together with our outstanding marketing and branding support, gives our partners and customers great confidence and trust that they are engaging with a Company that truly knows what they are doing to ensure their commercial success can be relied upon and are experts in the field.
Our retail and distribution partners evaluate a great many devices, and it is more than our leading hardware and software which has made Spacetalk their first and, in most cases, sole offering in the fastest growing category of consumer electronics globally. It is the whole offering, or our brand as defined by our people, values and purpose which translates into what we build and how we engage with customers through our quality marketing, go to market execution and customer support.
Product Offering Expansion and Innovation
Spacetalk Adventurer, Original Kids and Life Devices
FY21 was marked by the launch of Spacetalk Adventurer, our ground-breaking 4G all-in-one smartphone watch and GPS device for kids aged 5-12. Fun, fashionable, safe and technologically advanced, Spacetalk Adventurer is a totally new, ground up design, build and technology platform, that meets stringent global mobile operator standards, with exciting new features that deliver confidence and new ways of engagement for the child, enhanced controls for the parent, and new functionalities for the family to stay connected.
Our record revenue of $15.1 million (+44%) was underpinned by strong devices sales of $10.6 million (+65%) and App subscription revenue of $2.2 million (+76%), attributable largely to the expanded suite of devices being sold. Adventurer accounts for 41% of all unit sales in FY21 and now ranges as the sole and flagship offering of some of the world’s largest Mobile Network Operators.
Spacetalk App
In December 2020, Spacetalk released the new Spacetalk App, replacing the AllMyTribe App. This new app supports all our devices and provides new engaging functionality beyond parental controls, including group Family Chat with pictures and video, advanced health and fitness, and enhanced parent controls. Family Chat is being particularly well used by our customers and is proving to be one of our most popular features.
Similar to other mobile message systems but with significant family security features, Spacetalk Family Chat enables young kids to use their Spacetalk devices to engage securely in group chat with family and friends, share pictures and voice files, all in a parent controlled and supervised manner. A network affect is created as family and friends need to download the Spacetalk App to participate in Family Chats, which increases users in the Spacetalk ecosystem, in turn growing brand awareness and the ability to acquire new users of Spacetalk devices.
Global Mobile Network Operator partnerships
In tandem with the introduction of the new Spacetalk products and world-leading technology, we engaged with some of the world-leading mobile network operations such as Telstra, Telefonica UK (O2), Virgin UK and Vodafone who all commenced ranging Spacetalk Adventurer as their flagship and launch kids smartphone watch offering.
The commitment of mobile network operators to Spacetalk is significant. Spacetalk’s growing commercial track record of success, quality, strong brand, marketing expertise and people now gives mobile operators the confidence to invest and enter this category directly themselves, and through Spacetalk, create the awareness to position themselves as the ‘go to’ destination for consumers to purchase in this fast-growing new category.
Mobile operator technical device requirements, assessment and approval is exhaustive, covers thousands of different test scenarios, takes many months and requires many government, industry and regulatory approvals. It goes right down to chip level selection, where firmware and software development is geographically performed, sub technologies, systems and methods used, and many other stringent engineering and process requirements. It is an endorsement of the Spacetalk brand, quality, talent, design, reliability and security of our devices and App.
Spacetalk’s success with mobile operators has driven wider acceptance globally by both operators and retailers that the kids smartphone watch category has now legitimately arrived. As news about Spacetalk spreads globally, the question most mobile operators and mass market retailers globally are asking themselves when contemplating entering the kids smartphone watch category is ‘not if, but when’.
Notably, Spacetalk is the first and only offering in the smartphone watch category for most of our partner mobile operators. The business case for operators is strong. Currently, operators acquire new subscriber customers in their teenage years by selling them a smartphone. Now, Spacetalk enables mobile operators to responsibly acquire a new customer much earlier from the age of 5, earn revenue and profits from them until they reach their teens, and then upgrade the teenager from their Spacetalk watch into a smartphone, all in a low risk and proven way. Another strong business benefit for operators is that customer acquisition cost for Spacetalk is about 60% less than to acquiring the same customer when they are a teenager with a smartphone.
Spacetalk creates new subscriber and revenue growth for operators in a mature smartphone market, and where for every Spacetalk sale a valuable new subscriber opportunity is added to the operator’s network that prior to Spacetalk did not exist.
For Spacetalk and our customers, mobile operator demanding testing and certification processes endorse our product quality and trust. Operator monthly plans make customer purchase more affordable and easier, and their huge brands create greater awareness and trust for our Spacetalk brand. Category awareness is also enhanced through leveraging the marketing engines and huge customer bases of these large global telcos.

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Organisational Development
As a company, we are only as good as our people. We place a strong focus and invest in our people, culture, capabilities and guiding principles. Company headcount now exceeds 55 and we now have offices and staff across Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, North America and Asia.
Corporate governance resourcing is in the process of being enhanced by expanding our current three Director Board to five Directors. The Board also intends to transition to an Independent Chair. The Board is seeking to expand the skills and experiences of Directors to support the Company through its next exciting phase.
Together, with our customers, our people and you, our shareholders, we look forward to our business continuing to thrive, scale and achieve our end goal of being the leading brand in this huge new global tech category when it matures.
Outlook and Objectives for FY2022
The Company is also committed to the following objectives for FY22:
Growing our top line revenue with our expanded product suite and channels – bricks and mortar retail, mobile operators and new geographies.
Expanding Spacetalk LIFE distribution to a B2B2C[3] model, where we are witnessing strong interest from aged care and home care providers.
Ongoing advancement in our Spacetalk ecosystem through new and engaging functionality, multi-language support and creating new subscription services.
Expanding our global market penetration in North America, UK, pan-Europe and ANZ.
Improving operating cost efficiencies as we grow, with the aim of acquiring new customers at a lower cost as we scale, while also maintaining our disciplined approach to capital management.
Spacetalk’s value proposition is supported by four key pillars:
-
The global market opportunity for connected smart watch phone devices for kids and seniors;
-
Our multi-product, global and customer category offering;
-
Being a leading brand in the niche for children and seniors; and
-
Our continuing sales traction, brand and partner validation.
Our business model is built upon end-to-end design and development of quality products for families with a strong brand that delivers customer and revenue growth through extensive but targeted world class marketing and distributorship agreements with market-leading retailers and mobile network operators.
Our focus is firmly on growth in customers and revenue.
FY22 commenced strongly with O2 and Virgin UK successfully launching in August 2021. The Spacetalk Adventurer continues to gain market share globally with increased distribution, awareness and sell-through, and is consolidating its position as the leading connected kids wearable brand. The Company is also working with several National Disability Insurance Scheme (“NDIS”), aged care and home care service providers to pilot a mass market, scalable go-to-market strategy to enable over 39,000 Aged Care and NDIS service providers in Australia to promote and sell Spacetalk LIFE to their clients.
Pan-European dialogues are being progressed for launches with new bricks and mortar retail and mobile network operators. We are also making progress towards our launch in North America, which is on track for this calendar year. To support this launch, logistics, distribution and retailer agreements are being finalised, and customer service, sales, logistics and operations staff are being onboarded in our new offices in Dallas Texas.
The Board is of the view that given the strong growth and progress of the Company, the Board is intending to strengthen its corporate governance capacity. This includes expanding our Board to 5 Directors, including an Independent Chair to help guide the Company through its next exciting phase. Spacetalk’s growth and global opportunity necessitates more resources, additional skills and experiences to complement current directors.
Conclusion
On behalf of the Spacetalk Board, I thank you, our shareholders, for your ongoing support as we continue to scale and capture global market opportunities. We are also thankful for the continued commitment of the Spacetalk Executive Management team and employees around the world for your achievements in what has been both a challenging and rewarding year.
Everything we have achieved has been achieved together and has only been made possible by your hard work, passion, talent and dedication. We are also enormously grateful to our customers, business partners and distributors for their continued support throughout the year.
Together, with your ongoing investment and support, we will continue to navigate through these disruptive but hugely promising times. We are only at the beginning of very large, global, kids connected wearables revolution, where one day, most children all over the world will be wearing a connect device on their wrist. Our aim is to make sure that device is Spacetalk.
With your continued patronage and support, we look forward to delighting many more customers with our products for years to come. Thank you
MARK FORTUNATOW CHAIRMAN.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
The Board is committed to achieving and demonstrating the highest standards of corporate governance. As such, Spacetalk Ltd. and its Controlled Entities (`the Group’) have adopted the fourth edition of the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations which was released by the ASX Corporate Governance Council in February 2019 and became effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2020.
The Group’s Corporate Governance Statement for the financial year ending 30 June 2021 is dated as at 29 September 2021 and was approved by the Board on 29 September 2021. The Corporate Governance Statement is available on Spacetalk Ltd’s website at www.spacetalkwatch.com/investors-centre/corporategovernance.
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND AUDITORS
During the financial year, the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring the directors of the company (as named above), the company secretary Mr J Nelson, and all executive officers of the Company and any related body corporate against a liability incurred as such a director, secretary or executive officer to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium.
The Company has not otherwise, during or since the end of the financial year, except to the extent permitted by law, indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or auditor of the Company or of any related body corporate against a liability incurred as such an officer or auditor.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
The Company’s operations are not regulated by any significant environmental regulation under a Law of the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is a party to proceedings in the Federal Circuit Court of Australia in connection with the employment termination of a former employee. The proceedings were served on the Company on 26 July, 2021.
NON-AUDIT SERVICES
Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor are outlined in note 29 of the financial statements.
The Board of Directors is satisfied that the provision of non-audit services, during the year, by the auditor is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act. The Directors are satisfied that the services disclosed below did not compromise the external auditor’s independence for the following reasons:
-
All non-audit services are reviewed and approved by the Board prior to commencement to ensure they do not adversely affect the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
-
The nature of the services provided do not compromise the general principles relating to auditor independence in accordance with APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants set by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.
No non-audit services have been provided by the Auditor or by another person on the Auditor’s behalf during the year.
AUDITOR’S DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
The Auditor’s independence declaration for the year ended 30 June 2021 has been received and is included on page 32.
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
This remuneration report, which forms part of the directors’ report, details the nature and amount of remuneration for each Director and other key management personnel of Spacetalk Ltd. 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 of the parent company.
In respect of the remuneration policy, last voted upon by shareholders at the 2020 AGM, more than 25% of the votes were cast against this resolution, constituting a first strike for the purposes of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
24
CORPORATE INFORMATION
In response to the first strike, the Board has consulted with shareholders and obtained independent external advice. As a result, the Board has taken the following action in respect of the 2021 financial year:
-
There has been no change to the fixed remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer.[1]
-
There will be no new award of performance rights to Directors under the Company’s LTIP, and as such there will be no LTIP resolution to be voted on by shareholders at the 2021 Annual General Meeting.
-
There has been no change to the directors’ fees of the nonexecutive directors.
As noted in the Chairman’s report, corporate governance resourcing is in the process of being enhanced by expanding our current three Director Board to five Directors. The Board also intends to transition to an Independent Chair. The Board is seeking to expand the skills and experiences of Directors to support the Company through its next exciting phase.
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 Chief Executive Officer and any executives. Directors are not involved in deciding their own remuneration.
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. Directors are not involved in deciding their own remuneration. 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 guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 10%, 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 paid a performance-based component of remuneration during the year, in the form of incentive rights.
B. REMUNERATION STRUCTURE
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 performance rights, as considered appropriate by the Board, subject to Shareholder approval in accordance with ASX listing rules.
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 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 Board 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.
25
1 The Chief Executive Officer took a voluntarily 20% pay reduction in 2020. This was restored in 2021.
CORPORATE INFORMATION
Remuneration consists of a fixed remuneration and an incentive portion as considered appropriate. Compensation may consist of the following key elements:
-
Fixed Compensation;
-
Variable Compensation;
The level of LTI granted is dependent on 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.
-
Short Term Incentive (STI); and
-
Long Term Incentive (LTI).
C. EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS OF DIRECTORS AND SENIOR EXECUTIVES
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 (LTIs) granted to Directors / executives are delivered in the form of performance rights.
These rights are issued at an exercise price determined by the Board at the time of issue. The employee performance rights generally vest over a selected period and have a zero exercise price.
The employment arrangements of the non-executive Directors are formalised in a letter. The Chief Executive Officer’s terms of appointment are sert out in a service contract. .

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
3.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
2.1 AMENDMENTS TO ACCOUNTING STANDARDS THAT ARE MANDATORILY EFFECTIVE FOR THE CURRENT REPORTING PERIOD
The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 July 2020.
New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current year that are relevant to the Group include:
-
AASB 2018-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Definition of a Business
-
AASB 2018-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of Material
-
AASB 2019-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – References to the Conceptual Framework
-
AASB 2019-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Interest Rate Bendchmark
-
AASB 2019-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure of the Effect of New IFRS Standards Not Yet Issued in Australia
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 value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
Fair 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 17, 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.
40
FINANCIAL REPORT
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.
3.2 GOING CONCERN
The directors have, at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existance for the foreseable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
3.3 BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Spacetalk Ltd. (the Company) and entities controlled by Spacetalk Ltd. (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
Sale of goods
Revenue is recognised when control of the goods has transferred to the customer, being at the point the goods are delivered to the customer. Delivery occurs when the goods have been shipped to the customer’s specific location. A receivable is recognised by the Group when the goods are delivered to the customer as this represents the point in time at which the right to consideration becomes unconditional, as only the passage of time is required before payment is due.
School messaging services and subscriptions
The Group provides school messaging services and app subscriptions to customers. Such services are recognised as a performance obligation satisfied over time. Revenue is recognised for these services based on the stage of completion of the contract. The directors have assessed that the stage of completion determined as the proportion of the total time that has elapsed at the end of the reporting period is an appropriate measure of progress towards complete satisfaction of these performance obligations under AASB 15. Payment for subscriptions and school messaging services is made on a regular basis throughout the term. Accrued revenue is recognised over the period in which the installation services are performed representing the entity’s right to consideration for the services performed to date.
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.
- 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 Spacetalk Ltd. 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.
3.4 REVENUE RECOGNITION
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 profit or loss.
The Group recognises revenue from the following major sources:
-
Sale of goods, including smart watches and apps
-
School messaging services and subscriptions
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control of a product or service to a customer.
41
FINANCIAL REPORT
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 profit or loss 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 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 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 Research and development tax incentive refund
Refund amounts received or receivable under the Federal Government’s Research and Development Tax Incentive are recognised on an accruals basis. The refund is recognised in income tax benefit in the profit or loss.
- 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
42
FINANCIAL REPORT
3.7.4 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 statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.
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.
- 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
Research costs are expensed when incurred. Any costs that cannot be reliably split between research and development are also expensed when incurred. An intangible asset arising from development expenditure on an internal project is 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 cashgenerating 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 a 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 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 in the Group’s statement of finanical posistion 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.
Financial assets
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.
All recognised financial assets are measured subsequently in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.
Classification of financial assets
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at amortised cost:
-
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI):
-
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets; and
-
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
By default, all other financial assets are measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
Amortised cost and effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period.
The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance. The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is the amortised cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any loss allowance.
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method for debt instruments measured subsequently at amortised cost
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expires, or when it is transferred the financial assets and substantially all the risk and rewards of the assets to another entity.
On derecognition of the financial assets measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in the income statement.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognises loss allowance for expected credit loss (ECL) on financial assets subsequently measured at amortised cost. ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.
The Group always recognises lifetime ELC for trade and other receivables. The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix on the Company’s historic credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and on assessment of both the current as well as the forecast directions at the reporting date, including time value of money.
Lifetime ELC represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contracts, 12-months ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
Financial liabilities and equity
All financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is:
-
Contingent of an acquirer in a business combination;
-
Held for trading; or
-
Is designated as at FVTPL
44
FINANCIAL REPORT
Financial liabilities that are not subsequently measured at FVTPL are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
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 rate is that rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the amortised costs of a financial liability.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in the profit or loss.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by a company are recognised as the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.
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 profit or loss 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
A liability is recognised for benefts accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave in the period the related service is rendered at the discounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the service.
Contributions to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
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 the reporting date.
3.14 LEASES
Group as lessee
The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease of 12 months or less) and leases with low value assets (such as computers, printers, small office furniture and telephone). For these leases, the Group recgonises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern on which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate.
The lease liability is presented as a separate line item in the consolidated statement of financial position.
The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying mount to reflect the lease payments made.
The Group remeasured the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever:
-
the lease term has changed or there is a significant event or change in circumstances resulting in a change in the assessment of exercise of purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate
-
the lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using an unchanged discount rate
-
a lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.
The right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs. ROU assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
The ROU assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying assets. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease.
45
FINANCIAL REPORT
ROU assets are presented as a separate line item in the consolidated statement of financial position.
3.15 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).
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 Spacetalk Ltd. (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 profit or loss 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.
3.16 ISSUED CAPITAL
3.17 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.
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 CCOUNTING 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.
4.1.2 Research and development
The Group incurs significant expenditure conducting research and development activities for new and existing products developed internally. As a result of this, professional judgment is required in order to identify which of these expenditures represent research and which represent development costs.
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.
46
FINANCIAL REPORT
Expenditure associated with research activities are expensed as incurred in accordance with AASB 138. An intangible asset is recognised to record expenditure arising from development activities 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.
Any costs that cannot be reliably split between research and
development activities are expensed when incurred.
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 and distribution rights, which is included in the consolidated statement of financial position at 30 June 2021 at $3.94M (30 June 2020: $3.71M).
The carrying value of an intangible asset arising from development expenditure and distribution rights 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.
1.3 Key Estimates
Impairment
The Group assess impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may 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-in-use calculation is greater than the carrying value of the assets. Should the projected turnover figures be materially outside of budgeted figures incorporated in value-inuse calculations, an impairment loss could be recognised up to the maximum carrying value of intangibles at 30 June 2021 amounting to $3.94 million.
Provision for impairment of receivables
The provision for impairment of receivables assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of receivables, historical collection rates and specific knowledge of the individual debtors financial position.
A provision for doubtful debts of $69,048 (2020: $90,331) has been recognised for the year ended 30 June 2021.
Research and development tax incentive refund
The estimated amount recognised is based on detailed analysis of expenditure incurred. The actual amount to be claimed is finalised after completion of the current year’s financial report and preparation of the Group’s income tax return.
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.

8. SEGMENT REVENUES AND RESULTS
8.1 PRODUCTS AND SERVICES FROM WHICH REPORTABLE SEGMENTS DERIVE THEIR REVENUES
The Group operates predominately in three business segments, defined by the Groups’ different product and service offerings.
The Groups’ reportable segments under AASB 8 are therefore as follows:
-
School messaging services
-
Spacetalk proprietary
-
Other
This is the basis by which management controls and reviews the operations of the Group. Segment results are routinely reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance on the same basis. No operating segments have been aggregated in arriving at the reportable segments of the Group.
The school messaging reportable segment provides school messaging services and licence fees to various schools.
Spacetalk proprietary segment supply the ‘Spacetalk’ smartwatches and applications through retail distribution networks and online sales and this segment has grown over the years. In line with the growth of this segment, management has realigned the allocation of assets and liabilities to better reflect the use of the assets. This is reflected in the tables below.
‘Other’ is the aggregation of the Group’s other various sundry income and expenses.
Information regarding these segments is presented below. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group‘s accounting policies described in note 3.
No operations were discontinued during the current financial year.

The average credit period on sales of goods is 30 days. No interest is charged on outstanding trade receivables. The Group always measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. As noted within Note 2.1, the Group has measured the expected credit losses based on default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date.
The Group has assessed the application of AASB 9 – Financial Instruments and concluded that there has been no significant impact on the financial position and/or financial performance of the Group.
Terms and conditions relating to the above financial instruments:
-
Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and generally repayable in the range within 30-180 days.
-
Due to the short term nature of these receivables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value.

25. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial risk management
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, cash and short-term deposits. The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks in accordance with the Group’s financial risk management policy. The objective of the policy is to support the delivery of the Group’s financial targets while protecting future financial security.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and foreign currency risk. The Group uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest 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 Group uses foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its foreign currency exposures. No other derivative instruments are utilised.
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

FINANCIAL REPORT
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:
| Group Year Ending | Group Year Ending | |
|---|---|---|

| (861) | (638) | |
| Equity – higher/(lower) | 861 | 638 |
| (861) | (638) |
Liquidity risk
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 2021 financial period.

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

FINANCIAL REPORT
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 12 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, operations in New Zealand being denominated in NZD, and Operations in the United Kingdom being denominated in GBP, the Group’s balance sheet can be affected by movements in the respective AUD exchange rates.
The Group manages its exposure to foreign exchange risk by entering into forward foreign exchange contracts. The Group constantly reviews its exposure to commitments payable in foreign currency and ensures appropriate cash balances are maintained in USD, NZD and GBP so as to meet current operational commitments
Management believes the balance date risk exposures are representative of the risk exposure inherent in financial instruments.
26. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
26.1 Employee Share Option Plan
The Group has an ownership-based compensation plan for executives and senior employees and contractors. In accordance with the terms of the plan executives, senior employees and contractors may be granted options to purchase ordinary shares. Each share option converts into one ordinary share of Sapcetalk 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.
The weighted average share price during the year was $0.11 (2020: $0.42)
There were no options granted during the current financial year (2020: 8,900,000).
26.2 Long Term Incentive Rights

FINANCIAL REPORT
27.3 Tax consolidation
The company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities are members of a tax consolidated group under Australian tax law. The Company is the head entity within the tax consolidated group. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the Company also recognises the current tax liabilities and assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and relevant tax credits of the members of the tax-consolidated group.
Amounts payable or receivable under the tax-funding arrangement between the Company and the entities in the tax consolidated group are determined using a ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach to determine the tax contribution amounts payable or receivable by each member of the tax-consolidated group. This approach results in the tax effect of transactions being recognised in the legal entity where that transaction occurred, and does not tax effect transactions that have no tax consequences to the Group. The same basis is used for tax allocation within the tax-consolidated group.
27.4 Key management personnel
Disclosures relating to key management personnel are set out in Note 28.
27.5 Other equity interests
There are no equity interests in associates, joint ventures or other related parties.
27.6 Transactions with related parties
During the 2021 financial year no amount was paid to Newsgallery for PR advisory services (2020: $25,950). Newsgallery is a related entity of Leila Henderson.
During the 2021 financial year $6,000 was paid to Mount Seventh for consulting fees (2020: $44,393). Mount Seventh is a related entity of Glen Butler.
During the 2021 finanical year $24,000 was paid to Brandon Gien for counsulting fees (2020: $18,000). Good Design is a related entity to Brandon Gien.
During the 2021 finanical year $4,794 was paid to Martin Pretty for counsulting fees (2020: nil). Equatable Investors is a related entity of Martin Pretty.
