Reinventing Spacetalk
Letter from the Chair of Spacetalk Limited

Dear Shareholders
On behalf of the board of directors, I am pleased to present the Company's Annual Report for the 2023 financial year ('FY23').
FY23 has been a truly transformational year for the business, a year in which we repositioned and reinvented Spacetalk to a sustainable business with a clear strategy and high-quality leadership under the helm of Simon Crowther our CEO/ MD to execute this strategy. In FY23, we completely restructured the operations and resolved the limitations of the previous capital strategy to support future profitable growth. All this was done in a very short period of time in particular in the 2nd half of FY23, which is truly remarkable and for which the board of directors would like to thank all employees and leaders in the business.
Spacetalk is now an emerging wearables-enabled software subscription and Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) business centering around the theme of "Family Safety". While investment was required to support the transformation, the results show already significant improvement in the operational and financial metrics of the business. The capital raise conducted during Q1/FY24 will further enable the delivery of our growth strategy.
As we reflect on our journey, I want to also express my heartfelt gratitude to our shareholders for their unwavering support, dedication, and trust in Spacetalk's vision and leadership. Your belief in our vision and commitment has been another cornerstone of our success, and I am honoured to address you today with sincere appreciation.
The journey ahead holds promise and potential, and we are eager to embark on it together, hand in hand. Together, we will continue to build a future that is prosperous and sustainable.

CEO's Report

I am pleased to be able to share with you my reflections on the 2023 financial year and the important work that was undertaken to restructure and refocus the business for sustainable future growth.
Change is never easy; however, it is important that the foundational building blocks of Strategy, People, Processes and Product are established and aligned. Since joining Spacetalk in February 2023 I have worked hard with the management team and Board to ensure these building blocks are in place and everyone is aligned around a central common purpose. In May 2023 we updated investors with an important strategy document that laid out the future growth opportunity for Spacetalk. We emphasised that Spacetalk has a clear mission and will evolve beyond children's wearables to become a whole of family-oriented business delivering peace of mind and freedom to all ages. This new direction for the company offers significant growth potential.
To achieve our strategic objective of 'Safety at Every Stage of Life', urgent and rapid action was completed during Q3 to temporarily scale back our operations in the US and Europe. This gave us the opportunity to reduce costs and complexity and stabilise our operations in Australia. At the same time, we commenced the upskilling of the organisation, restructured the leadership team and hired domain experts in key roles. Attracting and retaining proven expertise is a key goal and I am pleased with the progress made with the new team working well together. This enabled us to commence rapid product development to bring to life our strategy and demonstrate our ability to execute against a larger addressable market.
We have ambitious product delivery plans that support our goal to be a wearables enabled SaaS business with our MVNO Spacetalk Mobile (formerly Jumpy SIM) at the centre of our rapidly evolving ecosystem. We are experiencing pleasing progress throughout the business as we set ourselves up for growth and are on track to deliver all the product priorities we highlighted in our strategic plan. Our key objective is to extend the Spacetalk brand beyond children's wearables and effectively engage with tweens, teens and seniors for the first time to address a much larger profitable market in Australia, and in due course explore entering new customer segments and overseas expansion opportunities - this is an exciting time for the company and shareholders as we focus on execution and profitability.
Change is never easy; I am proud of the work that has been completed in such a short period of time. My thanks to my team who have worked tirelessly, the Spacetalk board who have shown vision by backing a new direction and my gratitude to our shareholders who have given me the opportunity to realise the full potential of the business.

Operational and Financial Review
The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax amounted to $14,684,760 (30 June 2022: $8,180,110).
Results and key performance indicators of the current and prior year are set out below on a normalised basis, adjusting Statutory NPAT for material infrequent items including the impairment of assets, restructuring costs, including redundancy costs and other material one off adjustments. The FY23 results review is performed based on continuing operations following the wind down of overseas operations during the year. Results from discontinued operations are outlined in note 9 to the financial statements.
1. GROUP PERFORMANCE
For the year ended 30 June 2023 the Group reported annual recurring revenue (ARR) of $8.3m, 33% up compared with the prior year. The increase in ARR is consistent with the strategic shift towards a subscription-based business model. The Group also recorded strong 2H23 performance with normalised EBITDA of -$0.6m (1H23: -$2.4m), underpinned by the restructure that was completed in Q4/FY23. This provides a solid foundation for future profitability and positive cash generation.
The overall 9% decline in revenue from continuing operations is due to device revenue decline. Despite phasing out the Kids watch in Q1/ FY23, the Company managed to minimise the revenue reduction impact during FY23 by introducing the MNVO subscriptions revenue and improved agreements with retail partners and controlled discounting that resulted in improved margins. These improvements were offset by the impact of strategic discounting and promotional activity to sell down large retailer Adventurer 1 inventory as the Company sought to launch new products in Q4 of FY23 and Q2 of FY24.
FY23 was a transformational year for the Company, where the focus was restructuring and rebuilding which impacted the profit and loss with a net $4.1m one off non-recurring costs as described below.

| Cash balance | 3.0 | 5.6 | -2.6 | -46% |
REVENUE
Revenue from continuing operations declined by 9% to $13.4m primarily driven by a 33% ($3.0m) decline in device revenue partially offset by a $1.8m upside in Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) and Application revenue. During FY23, the MVNO alone generated $1.4m in revenue (2022: NIL). This trend is consistent with the strategic shift towards recurring revenue, which rose to 54% of total revenue during the year (FY22: 39%). MVNO subscriber growth has been robust and consistent since November 2022's launch, totalling 14,720 subscribers added at the end of the year.
As Spacetalk continues to transition to the higher Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) MVNO product, Application subscriber numbers declined 7% to 55,258. App revenue however increased by 13% to $3.8m due to higher average paying users during the year. Schools' revenue decline of $0.3m (12%) was due to a decline in SMS volume vs prior corresponding period ("pcp").
Detailed analysis is included in the segment performance section on pages 20 - 22

ANNUAL RECURRING REVENUE (ARR)
• ARR increased by 33% compared to PCP and 7% on Q3, driven by strong MVNO revenue growth
• MVNO revenue represents 31% of ARR
• The increase in ARR reflects the strategic shift in focus to a higher yielding subscription model.

REVENUE MIX
• Improved revenue mix with MVNO now 10% of revenue (FY22: NIL)
• Recurring revenue comprised 54% of revenue (FY22:39%) and was 60% in (Q4FY22:55%)
GROSS PROFIT
The 23% decline in gross profit to $6.7m (excluding other income) is reflective of the decline in device revenue during the year, partially offset by the new MVNO revenue. GP margin declined by 9ppts to 50% primarily due to a decline in device margins because of discounting and promotional activities undertaken during the year to sell off excess Adventurer 1 inventory. The Company is focused on future margin improvement through controlled discounting and promotions, resetting retailer margins, and managing retailer inventory levels.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Normalised Group operating expenses (including discontinued operations) declined by 17% to $12.6m due to:
- $2.7m (33%) reduction in employment expenses to $5.5m. This was due to $0.9m savings in overseas operations and a $0.6m reduction in share-based payments expense.
- $0.4m (24%) decline in advertising and marketing expenses due to ~$0.3m spent on retailer support in overseas operations in prior year
- an increase in administration expenses of $0.3m partially offset the above decreases.
Savings generated by winding down overseas operations present the Company with an opportunity to redeploy costs to value accretive strategic initiatives in the ANZ region. The ANZ cost base has been resized and a significant capability uplift has been achieved through engaging specialists in key roles to aid strategy execution.

2H23 normalised EBITDA was -$0.6m (1H23: - $2.4m), underpinned by the business restructure completed during Q4. This sets a solid foundation for future profitability and cash generation, with the cost base resized to drive strategy and revenue growth.
NOTES
- Redundancy and restructuring costs relate to one off business transformation costs incurred in FY23.
- Warranty provision reversal is a large one off non-recurring reversal of warranty provisions in FY23.
- Debt restructuring costs are non-cash and relate to the accelerated write off of capitalised transaction costs, recognition of expenses due to issue of warrants to Pure Asset Management (Pure) as part of debt restructuring.
- Fair value gains on derivatives are with respect to the fair valuation of the derivative financial liability related to warrants issued to Pure Asset Management.
- Depreciation and amortisation relate predominantly to amortisation of capitalised development costs.
- Impairment expense is primarily due to the write down of capitalised development costs ($2.3m) and Life watch inventory ($0.8m).

— $2.7m inflow from reduction in net working capital vs $4.2m outflow due to working capital increase in prior year.
• Lower capex spend in FY23 due to optimisation of use of external resources
• Lower capital raised in FY23 ($2.7m) vs $11.5m equity and debt capital raised in FY22.
FUNDING AND CAPITAL
Debt facilities amounting to $5m from Pure Asset Management (Pure) were fully drawn by 30 June 2023. The tenure of the facilities is:
- Loan 2 facility of $2m which is due on 1 July 2024:
- Loan 1 facility which is due on 20 March 2025.
Post year end, an agreement was signed with Pure to restructure the debt facilities. The key changes include:
- Aligning the Repayment Date for Loan 1 and Loan 2 to 20 March 2025 from 1 July 2024.
- Providing short-term covenant flexibility to facilitate the rollout of Spacetalk's new Budget Watch in the coming quarter.
- Reduction in cash covenants from $1.25m to $1.0m from 1 January 2024.
- Agreement on the operating cash flow covenant effective Q2 FY24.
As part of this renegotiation, Spacetalk issued to Pure a warrant over 20 million Spacetalk shares, exercisable at any time prior to 31 December 2026. The warrant exercise price will be $0.05 per share with provision for a price adjustment under certain circumstances including but not limited to a change of control or future equity issuances exceeding 15% of shares on issue. The warrant is subject to shareholder approval.

SEGMENT ANALYSIS
Device Revenue
Device revenue declined by 33% to $6.1m primarily driven by:
- A 21% decrease in sales volume from 51,036 units in FY22 to 40,572 units in FY23.
- FY22 high sales volume resulted in significant stock in channel that impacted FY23 retailer demand.
- Change in sales mix also affected revenue, with the graph below showing sales mix in FY23 compared with FY22.

- Kids watch, a lower priced product, was 36% of sales volume in FY22 (FY23: 7%) and 28% of sales value (FY23: 5%).
- Adventurer 1 volume was 87% of total in FY23 vs 63% in FY22, albeit at 24% lower average price in FY23 vs FY22.
- Adventurer 2, which was launched in May 23, was 6% of sales total in FY23.
- The change in sales mix towards higher priced Adventurer 1 vs the cheaper Kids watch impacted demand and sales volume.
DEVICE SALES GROSS PROFIT MARGIN
- Gross profit reduced by 72% to $1.1m in FY23 due to a reduction in sales volume (as outlined above) and reduced average price, primarily for Adventurer 1.
- The reduced price impacted gross margin which reduced to 18% in FY23 vs 42% in FY22 due to strategic discounting and promotional activity in FY23.
- Adventurer 1 average price reduced by 24% in FY23 vs FY22 as legacy large inventory held in retailers was sold to facilitate the launch of Adventurer 2 in May 23.
- This resulted in Adventurer 1 gross margin reducing from 44% in FY22 to 14% in FY23.
MVNO
MVNO subscribers recorded robust growth since launch in November 2022. The graph below shows the monthly active subscribers since launch to the end of FY23.

The net addition of MVNO 14,720 subscribers generated $1.4m in revenue (2022: NIL). Sustaining this growth momentum is key to MVNO revenue continued growth, with the 1,200 new subscribers signed in June 23 month. With higher monthly average revenue per user compared to App users, the strategic shift towards recurring MVNO revenue will result in sustained future revenue growth.
MVNO gross margin was 53% in FY23.
APP SUBSCRIPTIONS
App revenue increase of 13% was driven by an 11% increase in the number of average paying subscribers to 59,819. As Spacetalk continues to transition to higher ARPU MVNO products, App subscriber numbers on 30 June 2023 declined 7% to 55,258 vs FY22.
App gross margin of 77% was relatively consistent with FY22 (76%).
SCHOOLS' REVENUE
Schools' revenue decline of $0.3m (12%) was due to a decline in SMS volume vs pcp. Total SMS volume declined by 13% to 23,255,198 SMSs, coming off high COVID communications. Subscription licence fee revenue was relatively consistent at $1.0m year on year.
Schools gross profit of $2.0m is 11% lower than prior year, consistent with SMS revenue decline. Gross margin remained flat at 95% vs prior year (94%).
3. GROWTH STRATEGY
Spacetalk's strategic turnaround plan is well underway with the realisation of significant results during Q4 of FY23. The strategy is underpinned by transforming Spacetalk from a consumer electronics business to a wearable enabled software subscription and MVNO business. A significant part of the strategy involved the wind down of unprofitable overseas operations in the United States, United Kingdom, and Europe, to focus on transforming the business in the Australia and New Zealand (ANZ region).
FY24 PRIORITIES
Spacetalk is focused on executing the following priorities in FY24.
- Product Development
- New family-focused mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) products that provide an opportunity to obtain whole families as Spacetalk Customers.
- Device agnostic (open) mobile application product (Family App) that provides an opportunity to retain older children and parents as customers of Spacetalk as they outgrow watch usage.
- Schools messaging platform refresh, starting with the release of a new Schools > Parents messaging app that provides the opportunity for parents to opt into marketing communication from Spacetalk.
- Launch the 'Budget Watch' (Loop) in Q2 FY24, filling a gap in hardware product line-up left by the retirement of the Kids Watch.
- Life Watch renewal, to become a Mobile Personal Emergency Response (mPERS) device. This provides an entirely new segment opportunity. Development of back-end systems to connect existing Life watch to 24/7 emergency monitoring provider call centre triage systems. Further updates to firmware to enable advanced mPERS features are ongoing. Launch of new mPERS Life watch capability and 24/7 monitoring provider relationships is planned for Q1FY24.
- Brand Alignment
- MGM Wireless to become Spacetalk Schools in Q1FY24
- Jumpy SIM to become Spacetalk Mobile in Q1FY24
- Capability Uplift to drive strategy execution.
4. KEY RISKS

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year, other than the following:
- Discontinuation of UK, Europe and USA operations
- In November 2022, the Company renegotiated its facility agreement with Pure Asset Management Pty Ltd (Pure AM), extending the repayment dates to July 1, 2024, and March 20, 2025, for the $3 million and $2 million facilities, respectively. As part of the restructure, Spacetalk agreed to a 1.5% establishment fee and issued an additional 90 million warrants, significantly modifying the existing loan.
MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR
The following material events occurred after year end.
-
- Restructure of the debt facility with Pure. The key changes include:
- Aligning the Repayment Date for Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 to 20 March 2025 from 1 July 2024.

- Reduction in cash covenants from $1.25m to $1.0m from 1 January 2024.
- Agreement on the operating cash flow covenant effective Q2 FY24.
As part of this renegotiation, Spacetalk issued to Pure a warrant over 20 million Spacetalk shares, exercisable at any time prior to 31 December 2026. The warrant exercise price will be $0.05 per share with provision for a price adjustment under certain circumstances including but not limited to a change of control or future equity issuances exceeding 15% of shares on issue. The warrant is subject to shareholder approval.
-
- On 24 August 2023, the Company announced a capital raise on the following terms:

- pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement issue of one (1) Share for every 2.5 Shares to raise a gross amount of $2,738,938 at $0.022 per share.

Subscribers into the placement and non-renounceable rights received one Option for every 2 new shares that they subscribed for, with the Placement Options subject to the approval of Spacetalk's shareholders.
Other than the matters outlined above, no other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2023 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future financial years.

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
REMUNERATION POLICY
The board policy is to remunerate directors at market rates for time, commitment, and responsibilities. The board determined payments to 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. To align Directors' interests with shareholders' interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company.
The Directors and full-time executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution as required by law, currently 11%. The CEO and full-time executives 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.
Where necessary, the Board seeks independent third-party expert advice on its remuneration policies and has implemented suitable practices and procedures that are appropriate for an organisation of this size and maturity. No experts were used during the year.
REMUNERATION STRUCTURE
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive 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 allocated for non-executive directors, as approved by the shareholders, remains at $500,000—unchanged from the previous year.
The Board considers advice from external consultants as appropriate as well as the fees paid to non-executive 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, which may be subject to Shareholder approval in accordance with ASX listing rules.
Separate from their duties as Directors, the Non-Executive Directors may 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
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 remuneration to reflect the market salary for a position and individual of comparable responsibility and experience. Remuneration is periodically compared with the external market by participation 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).

LONG TERM INCENTIVES
The objective of long-term incentives is to reward Directors and 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 Directors' or executives' job responsibilities. The objectives vary, but all are targeted to related directly to the Company's business and financial performance and thus to shareholder value.
Long term incentives (LTIs) granted to Directors or executives are delivered in the form of performance rights. These rights are granted subject to pre-determined performance hurdles determined at the time of issue.
The objective of the granting of performance rights 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.
Typically, the grant of LTIs occurs at the commencement of employment, at bi-annual performance reviews, or in the event that the individual receives a promotion and, as such, is not subsequently affected by the individual's performance over time.

Independent Auditor's Report To the members of Spacetalk Limited

Spacetalk Limited
Independent auditor's report to members
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Spacetalk Limited (the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group)), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
- i. giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2023 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
- ii. complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 3 in the financial report, which indicates the Group has a net asset deficiency of $1,107,473 as at 30 June 2023 and recorded a net loss of $14,684,760 for the year. As stated in Note 3, these events or conditions, along with other matters set forth in Note 3, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Emphasis of Matter – Restatement of Comparatives
We draw attention to Note 3 in the financial report which details corrections of material errors in a prior period. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
| KEY AUDIT MATTER | |
|---|---|
| Revenue RecognitionRefer also to notes 3, 6 and 21 | How our audit addressed it |

As part of this refinance warrantswere issued to the lender.The warrants are classified as a derivate liabilityand are measured at fair value through profit orloss. Management have used a Black Scholesvaluation model to determine fair value.We considered the refinance of debt to be a keyaudit matter because:— The application of AASB 9 Financial Instrumentsrequires judgement as to whether the refinanceconstitutes a substantial modification to theexisting agreement and how costs associatedwith the previous and new finance facilitiesshould be treated.— Determination of the fair value of the warrants inaccordance with AASB13 Fair ValueMeasurement requires the use of assumptionsand estimates. | Our audit procedures included:— reviewing the terms and conditions of the initialfinance facility and the new facility agreement;— reviewing the accounting memo prepared by theclient;— reviewing the valuation of the warrants includingthe key assumptions and estimates used;— consulting with technical experts.We also assessed the appropriateness ofdisclosures as required by Accounting StandardAASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures andAASB13 Fair Value Measurement. |

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of these financial statements is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:

NOTE 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 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 16, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in AASB 102 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 Group reported a net asset deficiency of $1,107,473 at 30 June 2023 and recorded a net loss of $14,684,760 for the year then ended. These conditions, at the end of the financial year, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Despite the conditions that existed at year end, the Directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis, as the financial condition of the Group improved primarily due to the successful capital raise concluded after year end. The Directors believe the Group has adequate resources to meet its obligations for at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. Subsequent to 30th June 2023,
- The Company completed a capital raising, generating a gross amount of $3,248,946 from a placement and rights issue. The additional funds will provide working capital support to the Group and address the net asset deficiency position that existed at 30 June 2023.
- The Group restructured its borrowing facility , extending the
repayment dates of loans to 20 March 2025.
While the financial forecasts prepared by the Directors support the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, they are based on the following assumptions:
- The Company has new management in place and put out a new strategic direction to the market in May 2023.
- the restructure of the business will allow growth in revenue in FY24. This will be achieved through the reset of the device revenue stream, focusing on better collaboration with retailers, reset of retailer margins and managing pricing. Additionally, revenue from new products as described below will drive overall growth.
- the launch of new products in Q4FY23 and Q2FY24 will expand product offering, allowing the Group to:
- eintroduce a lower priced budget watch, enabling the Group to expand market share.
- introduce competitively priced MVNO products and continue the growth of MVNO revenue.
- improve customer lifetime value by introducing the Family App, allowing for longer customer retention as kids can now transition from the wearable device to a mobile phone within the Spacetalk ecosystem of products.
- the Life Watch renewal, to become a Mobile Personal Emergency Response (mPERS) device, provides an entirely new segment opportunity. This segment will grow as the Life watch is expanded to 24/7 emergency monitoring provider call centre triage systems.
- the Schools business is undergoing change and presents significant opportunity to the Company.
- The Group can quickly respond to market risks on revenue by reducing operating expenses to preserve cash.
- The achievement of the financial forecasts to enable the Group's to meet its debt covenants under the terms of its restructured borrowing facility.
- Although not included in the Group's cashflow forecast the opportunity to generate additional cash injection through the exercise of existing options and warrants provides the Group with potential additional funding to pay down debt and provide working capital support. The options and warrants have strike prices between 2.3c to 6.0c, with expiry dates between December 2024 to December 2026. The conclusion on going concern is, however, not contingent on this.
The Directors believe the preparation of the financial report on a going concern basis is appropriate considering the above factors. However, should the Group not achieve its forecast revenue, or reduce expenditure commensurately if required, it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. No adjustments to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities have been made should the Group not continue as a going concern.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Spacetalk Limited (the Company) and entities controlled by Spacetalk 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 Spacetalk 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.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Group recognises revenue from the following major sources:
- Sale of goods
- App subscriptions
- MVNO subscriptions
- School messaging services and subscriptions
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the consolidated entity is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the consolidated entity: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.
Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the 'expected value' or 'most likely amount' method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability.
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, App subscriptions and MVNO subscriptions
The Group provides school messaging services, app subscriptions and MVNO 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.
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 profit or loss.
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 recognised in other comprehensive income. The foreign currency reserve is recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed.
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.
TAXATION
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.
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 assets and 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 nor taxable profits; or
• when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference 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.
- 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 other comprehensive income 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.
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.
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.
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.
INTANGIBLES
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.
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, which is generally 3 years.
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.
IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL 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. Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired.
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.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Group's statement of financial position 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.
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 ECL 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 ECL represents the expected credit losses that will results from all possible defaults 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 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 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.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
A discontinued operation is a component of the consolidated entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately on the face of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, for all periods presented.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Hedges of a net investment
Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation include monetary items that are considered part of the net investment. Gains or losses on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge are recognised directly in equity whilst gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion are recognised in profit or loss. On disposal of the foreign operation, the cumulative value of any such gains or losses recognised directly in equity is transferred to profit or loss.
CONTRACT LIABILITIES
Contract liabilities represent the consolidated entity's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer and are recognised when a customer pays consideration, or when the consolidated entity recognises a receivable to reflect its unconditional right to consideration (whichever is earlier) before the consolidated entity has transferred the goods or services to the customer.
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.
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Defined contribution superannuation expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries and annual 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.
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.
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 lease (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 recognises 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 costs 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.
ROU assets are presented as a separate line item in the consolidated statement of financial position.
SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with nonvesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.
The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:
- during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period.
- from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date.
All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.
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.
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.
NOTE 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.
CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (see 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.
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.
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.
Substantial modification of a financial liability
In November 2022, the Company restructured its facility agreement with Pure Asset Management Pty Ltd (Pure AM) to extend the repayment dates of the facility to 1 July 2024 and 20 March 2025 for the $2 million and $3 million facilities respectively. As part of this restructure, the Company agreed to pay an establishment fee of 1.5% of the total facility and issue of an additional 90 million warrants.
The Company determined that the restructure resulted in a substantial modification of the existing loan outstanding. This determination involved judgement in applying accounting standards.
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.
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 2023 at $1.6M (30 June 2022: $3.8M). An impairment loss of $2.2M was recognised during the year, in relation to internally generated intangible assets.
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.
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is on indication that on asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for on asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount.
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.
An impairment of $2,245,682 was recognised in respect of intangible assets in the current year as future benefits were assessed to be lower than the carrying value of the assets.
No impairment indicators were identified for intangible assets that were recognised in the current year as they primarily related to new products that were launched during the year and new products to be launched in FY24.
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 rotes and specific knowledge of the individual debtor's financial position.
A provision for doubtful debts of $11,000 (2022: $67,252) has been recognised for the year ended 30 June 2023.
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. No amount has been accrued for the 2023 financial year.
Warranty provision
In determining the level of provision required for warranties the consolidated entity has made judgements in respect of the expected performance of the products, the number of customers who will actually claim under the warranty and how often, and the costs of fulfilling the conditions of the warranty. The provision is based on estimates made from historical warranty data associated with similar products and services.
Net realisable value of inventories
The net realisable value of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of the provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence.
Estimation of useful lives of assets
The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.
Determination of variable consideration
Judgement is exercised in estimating variable consideration which is determined having regard to past experience with respect to the goods returned to the consolidated entity where the customer maintains a right of return pursuant to the customer contract or where goods or services have a variable component. Revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised under the contract will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
Share-based payment transactions
The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.
NOTE 5. RESTATEMENT OF COMPARATIVES
CORRECTION OF A MATERIAL ERROR IN INCOME TAX EXPENSE
During the review of tax balances for the half year ended 31 December 2022, it was discovered that in 2021-22 a journal to income tax expense was incorrectly posted. This had resulted in an overstatement of the income tax benefit, and an understatement of foreign currency translation reserve of $411,963. Management have restated the comparatives and the following adjustment has been recorded:
• a decrease to income tax benefit and an increase to foreign currency translation reserve at 30 June 2022, representing the incorrectly recognised income tax benefit of $411,963.
CORRECTION OF A MATERIAL ERROR IN DEFERRED TAX ASSET
During the review of the deferred tax asset for the half year ended 31 December 2022, it was discovered that an error occurred in recognising the deferred tax asset balance of $1,100,272 at 30 June 2022. Having reviewed the probability of future taxable profits the Directors believe that the deferred tax asset should not have been recognised as at 30 June 2022 because it was not probable that there would be sufficient taxable profits to utilise the benefit based on forecasts available at that time. Management have restated the comparatives and the following adjustments have been recorded:
• a decrease to the deferred tax asset and an increase to the accumulated loss at 30 June 2022, representing the derecognised deferred tax asset of $1,100,272.
CORRECTION OF A MATERIAL ERROR IN THE ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF SCHOOL LICENCE FEES
During the year ended 30 June 2023, management discovered that the revenue recognition of school licence fees was not in accordance with AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue was recognised when the invoice was issued and not as the performance obligations were satisfied over time. This resulted in an overstatement of revenue of $48,236 in 2021-22 and $660,973 in previous periods. Management have restated the comparatives and the following adjustments have been recorded:
- decrease revenue by $48,236 at 30 June 2022, representing the overstated school licence fees;
- increase unearned income by $709,209 at 30 June 2022, representing the unearned income of school licence fees;
- increase accumulated loss by $660,973 at 30 June 2022, representing the reversed revenue recognised in previous periods.
CORRECTION OF A MATERIAL ERROR IN THE ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF SALES RETURNS
During the review of Spacetalk wearable devices sales returns for the half year ended 31 December 2022, it was discovered that in 1Q2023 Returns received post 30 June 2022 were not provided for in the FY22 accounts. The company did not account for returns in accordance with AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers as at 30 June 2022. This resulted in an overstatement of revenue of $326,887 and cost of sales of $178,382 in 2021-22. Management have restated the comparatives and the following adjustments have been recorded:
- decrease revenue and increase provision for sales returns by $326,887 at 30 June 2022, representing the unrecognised sales return of wearable devices; and
- decrease cost of sales and increase inventories by $178,382 at 30 June 2022, representing the cost of returned wearable devices.
CORRECTION OF A MATERIAL ERROR IN THE ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF SALES REBATES
During the review of Spacetalk wearable devices sales rebates for the half year ended 31 December 2022, it was discovered that there was a backlog of rebate invoices relating to 2Q2022 which are under contractual terms in customer agreements, and had not been provided for. This had resulted in an overstatement of revenue of $170,224 in the year ended 30 June 2022. Management have restated the comparatives and the following adjustments have been recorded:
• decrease revenue and increase provision for rebates by $170,224 at 30 June 2022, representing the unrecognised sales rebates.

In November 2022, the Company restructured its facility agreement with Pure Asset Management Pty Ltd (Pure AM) to extend the repayment dates of the facility to 1 July 2024 and 20 March 2025 for the $3 million and $2 million facilities. As part of this restructure, Spacetalk has agreed to pay an establishment fee of 1.5% of the total facility and issue of an additional 90 million warrants. The restructure resulted in a substantial modification of the existing loan outstanding.
As a result of the modification, previous transaction costs remaining on the loan at the date of modification were accelerated to the profit and loss and the new establishment fee and issue of the additional warrants were also recognised to the profit loss as part of the costs relating to the debt restructure.
Costs relating to the debt restructure.

NOTE 24. BORROWINGS (CONTINUED)
The derivative financial liability has been valued using quoted market rates (level 2 input). This valuation technique maximises the use of observable market data where it is available and relies as little as possible on entity specific estimates.
During the year, there was a gain on fair value of derivatives of $1,714,052 recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss and Comprehensive income as a result of accounting standards requirement to fair value warrants and derivative liabilities related to the restructured debt facility with Pure Asset Management ("Pure"). This amount consisted of $1,285,382 related to the existing warrant to Pure for 11 million shares together with $428,670 related to derivative liability for the warrant of 90 million shares as part of the restructured debt facility approved on 15 February 2023.
In addition, the restructured secured term loan facility has the following terms:
Interest rate
• 9.50% per annum (14.50% per annum following a default, payable quarterly)
Transaction Security
• First ranking security as per existing General Security Deed
Financial covenants
- Pre-30 June 2023
- (i). The Borrower must maintain a cash balance exceeding $1,250,000 at all times.
- (ii). The Borrower must maintain a balance of $750,000 in regard to the formula immediately below, tested monthly.
Cash – Trade Creditors + (MoM Inventory Change) / 2
For the avoidance of doubt, only monthly inventory increases will be added to the above calculation.
- Post 30 June 2023
- (i). The Borrower must maintain a cash balance exceeding $1,250,000 at all times.
- (ii). The Borrower and Lender to agree one operational covenant to be implemented post 30 June 2023.

As part of the loan facility disclosed in note 24, the Company has issued additional warrants to Pure AM that can be exercised for a total of 90 million fully paid-up shares. The warrants can be exercised at any point of time up to 13 March 2025. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value through profit or loss and have an exercise price of $0.06. Warrants are repriced under certain conditions and hence have a variable exercise price. As a result, they are classified as liabilities.
Key assumptions used in determining the fair value of the warrants at 30 June 2023:

NOTE 25. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)
Existing warrants issued as part of the original loan facility with Pure AM could be exercised for a total of 11 million fully paid-up shares. The warrants could be exercised at any point of time up to 11 March 2025. During the period, the warrants exercise price was adjusted from $0.2169 to $0.034 resulting from the Company's November 2022 capital raising and share purchase plan, which triggered a repricing clause within the Warrant Deed.
On 6th February 2023, Pure AM exercised 11 million warrants. The fair value of the warrants on the date of exercise was $0.0527 per warrant. On exercise of the warrant, the liability was extinguished and recognised in equity.

NOTE 29. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
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.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group's principal financial instruments comprise borrowings, derivatives, 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 does not speculate in the trading of derivative instruments. 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 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.

|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | |
| Cash and cash equivalents (interest-bearing accounts) | 3,026,165 | 5,577,088 |
NOTE 29. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
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.

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 2023 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.
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 Company does not hedge this exposure.
In the reporting period the Groups volume of transactions in NZ currency was low and immaterial. The US and UK operations were discontinued during the year ended 30 June 2023.
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, NZD and GBP, to meet current operational commitments.
Management believes the balance date risk exposures are representative of the risk exposure inherent in financial instruments.
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 Statement of financial position, 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.
NOTE 30. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
There were a number of employee rights granted during the year. The performance rights are issued for nil consideration and are granted in accordance with performance guidelines established by the Remuneration Committee. The rights vest subject to performance conditions specific to the individual employees and continued employment.

NOTE 32. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Key management personnel
Disclosures relating to key management personnel are set out in note 31 and the remuneration report included in the directors' report.
SUBSIDIARIES
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Spacetalk Limited and the subsidiaries that are listed in the table in note 16.
Balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries, which are related parties of the Company, have been eliminated on consolidation and are not disclosed in this note. Details of transactions between the Group and other related parties are disclosed below. Details of the percentage of ordinary shares held in subsidiaries are disclosed in note 16.
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are accounted for at cost. Dividends received from subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are recognised in profit or loss when a right to receive the dividend is established (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Parent and the amount of income can be measured reliably).
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.
OTHER EQUITY INTERESTS
There are no equity interests in associates, joint ventures or other related parties.
TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
During the 2023 financial year $93,253 was paid to a family relative of Mark Fortunatow for administration services (2022: $108,055).
