NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES

The following are the significant accounting policies adopted by SQID Technologies Ltd (the Company) and its controlled entities (the Group) in the preparation and presentation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Basis of preparation of the financial report

Compliance with IFRS

These financial statements are prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), have been omitted or condensed. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The financial report covers SQID Technologies Ltd and its controlled entities as a Group. SQID Technologies Ltd is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The address of the Group’s registered office and principal place of business is Level 14, 440 Collins Street, Melbourne VIC 3000. The Group is a forprofit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial report.

The financial report was approved by the directors as at the date of the directors’ report.

In accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 , the amounts in the directors’ report and in the financial report have been rounded to the nearest dollar (where indicated).

All amounts are presented in Australian dollars.

Historical cost convention

The financial report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by revaluations to fair value for certain classes of assets and liabilities as described in the accounting policies.

Fair value measurement

For financial reporting purposes, ‘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 (under current market conditions) at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.

When estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, the entity uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are categorised into three levels according to the extent to which the inputs are observable:

  • 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.

  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Significant accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of the financial report requires the use of certain estimates and judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies. Those estimates and judgements significant to the financial report are disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

  • 12 -

SQID TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES

ABN: 44 121 655 472

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The policies applied in these unaudited condensed interim financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of April 27 2021, the date the Board of Directors approved the statements. The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these unaudited condensed interim financial statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company's annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2020 could result in restatement of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

The Group is exposed to the following financial risks in respect to the financial instruments that it held at the end of the reporting period:

  • Currency risk

  • Interest rate risk

    • Credit risk - Liquidity risk
    • Other market risk

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the counterparty by failing to discharge an obligation.

The Group is exposed to credit risk to the extent that customers may incur chargeback volumes that exceed the funds to be settled to them, and the Group is subsequently unable to recover these funds.

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at the reporting date of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets, net of any allowance for credit losses, as disclosed in consolidated statement of financial position and notes to the consolidated financial statements.

The Group has significant merchant concentration risks, however, each merchant is assessed prior to and during their relationship with the Group as to their perceived credit risk, and where necessary, a bond (other liabilities) is taken from the merchant. This merchant bond can be adjusted from time to time. The total value of merchant bonds held is $1,104,414 (2019: $641,717).

The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or Group of counterparties under financial instruments entered into by the Group.

i) Cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets

Credit risk for cash deposits is managed by holding all cash deposits with major Australian banks as well as having funds invested with Australia’s largest non-bank home loan lender.

  • ii) Receivables from contracts with customers

Credit risk for receivables from contracts with customers is managed by transacting with as large number of customers as possible, undertaking credit checks for all new customers and setting credit limits for all customers commensurate with their assessed credit risk. Outstanding receivables are regularly monitored for payment in accordance with credit terms.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.

The Group maintains strong current and quick ratios to ensure the risk of illiquidity is minimal.

The following table outlines the Group’s remaining contractual maturities for non-derivative financial liabilities. The amounts presented in the table are the undiscounted contractual cash flows of the financial liabilities, allocated to time bands based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay.
