Explanation of Loss

The Company’s loss for the year of $7,100,433 (2021: loss of $2,506,420) is largely attributed to accounting charges such as shared based payments ($1,892,269), depreciation ($957,899) and impairment expenses ($953,946), together totalling ~$3.2M. In addition, several noncash and one-off expenses were recorded in the Company’s accounts during the period, specifically for legacy assets related expenses and for costs incurred pursuant to the acquisitions of Blank Canvas, JMC Group and the establishment of Vection Health (the Company’s healthcare and pharma focussed division). Cost and other synergies from these efforts are already flowing through to the next financial year.

The Company was also impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic with many current and prospective clients, particularly in Europe, pushing back timelines for their R&D expenditure. While there are still challenges across Europe, the Company is well positioned to leverage the growing metaverse trend and its global partnerships, to assist with delivering a strong result in the next financial period.

Cash Position

Cash at the end of the year was $14,869,095. The Company had significant receivables outstanding at 30 June 2022 of $6,208,213.

Outlook

During fiscal 2023, the global foundations built over the last four years are expected to generate increased global growth. From partnerships with Fortune Global 500 professional services companies to the development of innovative technology integrations, Vection Technologies

The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

There were no other matters or circumstances arising since the end of the reporting period that have significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group and the results of those operations or the state of the affairs of the Group in the financial period subsequent to 30 June 2022.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

The following significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company occurred during the financial year:

  • Settlement of acquisition of JMC (ASX: 4 August 2021); and

  • $12M equity funding round via the issue of 60 million fully paid ordinary shares at $0.20 per share, together with the issuance of 32.5 million unlisted options with an exercise price of $0.25 and an expiry of 3 years from date of issue (ASX: 30 November 2021).

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Other than information disclosed elsewhere in this annual report, information on likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of those operations in future financial years has not been included in this Directors' Report because the Directors believe, on reasonable grounds, that to include such information would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

The Group is not subject to any particular or significant environmental regulations under either Commonwealth or State law.

Directors Position
Mr Bert Mondello Non-Executive Chairman
Mr Gianmarco Biagi Managing Director
Mr Lorenzo Biagi Executive Director
Mr Gianmarco Orgnoni Executive Director
Mr Gabriele Sorrento Non-Executive Director

B) Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

The Board adheres to the remuneration policy detailed in the Company’s prospectus issued in December 2016. The remuneration policy of the Board is designed to ensure that the level and composition of remuneration is competitive, reasonable and appropriate for the results delivered and to attract and maintain desirable directors, company secretaries and senior executives.

The Board are mindful that where possible the remuneration structures reward the achievement of strategic objectives to achieve the broader outcome of creation of value for shareholders.

The remuneration committee is responsible for assessing performance against key performance indicators and determining the short-term incentives and long-term incentives to be paid. To assist in this assessment, the committee receives detailed reports on performance from management which are based on independently verifiable data such as financial measures, market share and data from independently run surveys.

In the event of serious misconduct or a material misstatement in the Group’s financial statements, the remuneration committee can cancel or defer performance-based remuneration and may also claw back performance-based remuneration paid in previous financial years.

  • C) Non-executive directors’ remuneration

Fees

The Board’s policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for time, commitment, and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties, and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. In the current year, no advice was sought.

Upon appointment to the Board, all non-executive directors enter into a service agreement with the Company in the form of a letter of appointment. The letter summarizes the policies and terms, including compensation, relevant to the office of the director.

The key terms of the non-executive director service agreements are as follows:

  • Term of Agreement – ongoing subject to annual review and the Company’s constitution

  • Non-Executive Directors’ Fees of up to $72,000 per annum plus an amount equivalent to statutory superannuation (if applicable)

  • There is a 6-month notice period stipulated to terminate the contract by either party. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is currently fixed at $300,000 with any change in this amount subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. The Company does not have a Director’s Retirement Scheme in place at present.

  • D) Executive director and senior management remuneration

Service Contracts

It is the Company’s policy that service contracts for executive directors and senior executives be entered into. A service contract with an executive director or senior executive would provide for the payment of benefits where the contract is terminated by the entity or the individual.

The executive directors and senior executives would also be entitled to receive on termination of employment their statutory entitlements of accrued annual and long service leave, together with any superannuation benefits. An executive director or senior executive would have no entitlement to termination payment in the event of removal for misconduct.

Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2022 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

VECTION TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The annual financial report of Vection Technologies Limited (Vection Technologies, Vection, the Company or Group) for the year ended 30 June 2022 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 3 October 2022.

The Company is a public company limited by shares incorporated on 14 September 2016 and domiciled in Australia. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Company are described in the Directors’ report.

a) Basis of preparation

The principal accounting policies adopted for the preparation of the annual financial report are set out below. These accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented unless otherwise stated.

i) Statement of compliance

This annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2022 are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs), including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. This financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Boards (‘IASB’).

ii) Basis of measurement and reporting convention

This annual financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical cost. The annual financial report is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar unless otherwise stated.

b) Segment Information

Operating Segments – AASB 8 requires a management approach under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. This is consistent to the approach used for the comparative period. Operating segments are reported in a uniform manner to which is internally provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Board of Directors.

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activity from which it may earn revenues or incur expenditure, including those that relate to transactions with other Group components. Each operating segment’s results are reviewed regularly by the Board to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

The Board monitors the operations of the Group based on 2 segments; IT software development & sales division and services division.

The financial results of each segments are reported to the board to assess the performance of the Group. The Board has determined that strategic decision making is facilitated by evaluation of the operations of the legal parent and subsidiaries which represent the operational performance of the Group’s revenues and the research and development activities as well as the finance, treasury, compliance and funding elements of the Group.

c) Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations act 2001, the financial report presents the results of the Group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 25.

d) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The preparation of the annual financial report requires the use of accounting estimates and judgements which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. This note provides an overview of the areas that involve a degree of judgement or complexity in the preparing the annual financial report. Facts and circumstances may come to light after the event which may have significantly varied the assessment used which result in a materially different value being recorded at the time of preparing this annual financial report.

Deferred tax assets - The Group has not recognised deferred tax assets relating to carried forward tax losses or other temporary differences. These amounts have not been recognised given the recognition requirements of AASB 112 Income Taxes.

Share-based payments - The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions 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

VECTION TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

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. Refer to notes 15 and 16 for details of inputs utilised in calculating the fair value of the equity instrument.

Estimation of useful lives of assets - The Group 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.

Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets - The Group tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 1 (s). The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated pre-tax discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic – Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the Group based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the Group operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the consolidated financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the Group unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Business combinations - As discussed in note 1(h), business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The fair value of assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed are initially estimated by the consolidated entity taking into consideration all available information at the reporting date. Fair value adjustments on the finalisation of the business combination accounting is retrospective, where applicable, to the period the combination occurred and may have an impact on the assets and liabilities, depreciation and amortisation reported.

Allowance for expected credit losses - The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes assumptions to allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include recent sales experience, historical collection rates, the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and forward-looking information that is available. The allowance for expected credit losses, as disclosed in note 5, is calculated based on the information available at the time of preparation. The actual credit losses in future years may be higher or lower.

Provision for impairment of inventories - The provision for impairment 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.

e) Principles of consolidation

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

f) Discontinued Operations

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group 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.

VECTION TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

g) Standards and Interpretations applicable to 30 June 2022

In the year ended 30 June 2022, the directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group and effective for the current annual reporting period. As a result of this review, the directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group and, therefore, no material change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

h) Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet mandatory or early adopted

The directors have also reviewed all Standards and Interpretations in issue but not yet mandatory or early adopted for the year ended 30 June 2022. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current annual reporting period.

i) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.

j) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account (credit loss allowance) is used when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in profit or loss.

k) Inventories

Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a 'first in first out' basis. Cost comprises of direct materials and delivery costs, direct labour, import duties and other taxes, an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure based on normal operating capacity.

l) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

m) Property, plant and equipment

All property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gains or losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Increases in the carrying amounts arising on revaluation of land and buildings are recognised, net of tax, in other comprehensive income and accumulated in reserves in shareholders’ equity. To the extent that the increase reverses a decrease previously recognised in profit or loss, the increase is first recognised in profit or loss. Decreases that reverse previous increases of the same asset are first recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of the remaining surplus attributable to the asset; all other decreases are charged to profit or

ANNUAL REPORT FY2022

VECTION TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2022 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

loss. Each year, the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged to profit or loss and depreciation based on the asset’s original cost, net of tax, is reclassified from the property, plant and equipment revaluation surplus to retained earnings.

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the methods shown in the table below to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and equipment, the shorter lease term.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are as follows:

Class of fixed asset Depreciation method Depreciation rate
Office and computer equipment Diminishingvalue 20% - 67%
Leasehold improvements Straight-line 2.5%
Software development Straight-line 4%–25%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, it is Group policy to transfer any amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings.

n) Contributed equity

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.

Where any group company purchases the Company’s equity instruments, for example as the result of a share buy-back or a share-based payment plan, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the owners of Vection Technologies Limited as treasury shares until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the owners of the Group.

o) Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.

p) Earnings per share

i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:

  • the profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares.

  • by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.

ii) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:

  • the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and

  • the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

q) Income taxes

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

VECTION TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2022 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:

  • When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or 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 interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entity's which intend to settle simultaneously.

r) Provisions

Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make good obligations are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

s) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. The intellectual property acquired as part of the Vection Italy business combination have been treated as indefinite life intangible assets as they are expected to contribute to the Group’s cashflows for the foreseeable future. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.

Goodwill

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed.

Software Patents and development costs

i) Research and development

Research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are capitalised when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility; the consolidated entity is able to use or sell the asset; the consolidated entity has sufficient resources and intent to complete the development; and its costs can be measured reliably. Capitalised development costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit.

ii) Patents and trademarks

Significant costs associated with patents and trademarks are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit.

iii) Software

Significant costs associated with software are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit.

The amortisation rates used for each class of depreciable intangible assets are as follows:

Class of intangible asset Amortisation method Amortisation rate
Rights of use of intangible asset Straight-line 20%
Other intangible assets (software, patents and
development costs)
Straight-line 20% to 50%

t) Foreign currency translation

  • i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollar ($), which is Vection Technologies Limited’s functional and presentation currency.

ii) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss. They are deferred in equity if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, within finance costs.

All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a net basis within other income or other expenses.

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income.

iii) Group companies

The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • assets and liabilities for each Statement of Financial Position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that Statement of Financial Position

  • income and expenses for each Statement of Profit or Loss and other Comprehensive Income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable.

u) Impairment of non-financial assets

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. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cashgenerating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

v) Revenue recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the group is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the group 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

BEYOND REALITY

ANNUAL REPORT FY2022

PAGE 32

VECTION TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2022 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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 initially recognised as deferred revenue in the form of a separate refund liability.

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method.

Other income

Other income is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

Government grants

Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

w) Leases

The Group leases offices which are made for fixed periods of up to five years. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

  • fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable

  • variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date

  • amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees

  • the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and

  • payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising that option.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leases in the Group, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability

  • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received

  • any initial direct costs, and

  • restoration costs

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life. While the Group revalues its land and buildings that are presented within property, plant and equipment, it has chosen not to do so for the rightof-use buildings held by the Group.

Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and vehicles and all leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less without a purchase option. Lowvalue assets comprise IT equipment and small items of office furniture.

x) Employee benefits

i) Short-term obligations Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of

BEYOND REALITY

ANNUAL REPORT FY2022

PAGE 33

Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2022 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

VECTION TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities for annual leave and accumulating sick leave are presented as employee provisions in the consolidated statement of financial position while all other short-term employee obligations are presented as payables in the consolidated Statement of financial position.

ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations

The liabilities for long service leave and annual leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service.

Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period of high-quality corporate bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Re-measurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in profit or loss. Obligations are presented as current in the Statement of Financial Position if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

iii) Retirement benefit obligations

All Australian-resident employees of the Group are entitled to receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 10%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals have chosen to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.

Other amounts charged to the financial statements in this respect represents the contributions made by the Group to employee retirement benefit funds in other jurisdictions.

iv) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits.

The Group recognises termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b) when the entity recognises costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and involves the payment of terminations benefits.

In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to present value.

v) 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 BlackScholes 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 non-vesting 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 tosettle the liability.

BEYOND REALITY

ANNUAL REPORT FY2022

PAGE 34

VECTION TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2022 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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 Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Group 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.

y) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

z) Compound Financial Instruments

Compound financial instruments issued by the Group comprise convertible facilities that can be converted to ordinary shares at the option of the holder, when the number of shares to be issued is fixed. The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognised initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognised initially at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured subsequent to initial recognition. Interest related to the financial liability is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. On conversion the financial liability is reclassified to equity and no gain or loss is recognised.

aa) Financial instruments

i) Classification

Financial assets recognised by the Group are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, subject to their classification and whether the Group irrevocably designates the financial asset on initial recognition at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) in accordance with the relevant criteria in AASB 9.

Financial liabilities classified as held-for-trading, contingent consideration payable by the Group for the acquisition of a business, and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), are subsequently measured at fair value.

All other financial liabilities recognised by the Group are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

ii) Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Group commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).

BEYOND REALITY

ANNUAL REPORT FY2022

PAGE 35

VECTION TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2022 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified as fair value through profit or loss, in which case transaction costs are immediately recognised as expenses in profit or loss.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables arise from the Group’s transactions with its customers and are normally settled within 30 days.

Consistent with both the company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the assets, trade and other receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

  • iii) Impairment

  • The following financial assets are tested for impairment by applying the ‘expected credit loss’ impairment model:

  • a. debt instruments measured at amortised cost;

  • b. debt instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income; and

  • c. receivables from contracts with customers and contract assets.

The Group applies the simplified approach under AASB 9 to measuring the allowance for credit losses for both receivables from contracts with customers and contract assets. Under the AASB 9 simplified approach, the Group determines the allowance for credit losses for receivables from contracts with customers and contract assets on the basis of the lifetime expected credit losses of the financial asset. Lifetime expected credit losses represent the expected credit losses that are expected to result from default events over the expected life of the financial asset.

The Group determines expected credit losses based on the company’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the financial asset as well as current and future expected economic conditions relevant to the financial asset. When material, the time value of money is incorporated into the measurement of expected credit losses. There has been no change in the estimation techniques or significant assumptions made during the reporting period.

The Group has identified contractual payments more than 90 days past due as default events for the purpose of measuring expected credit losses.

bb) Business Combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired.

The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss.

On the acquisition of a business, the consolidated entity assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the consolidated entity's operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date.

Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the consolidated entity remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.

Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquirer.

Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from

BEYOND REALITY

the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value.

cc) Comparative balances

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative balances have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

dd) Restatement of comparatives balances

Comparative period balance have been restated so as to classify certain contingent consideration amounts relating to business combinations undertaken in FY2019 and FY2020 as equity settled rather than liability settled obligations and to also correct the accounting for fair value adjustments to contingent consideration arising in the post measurement periods including those to goodwill. Comparative period amounts have also been restated due to the finalisation of acquisition accounting for FY2021 acqusitiions. The effect of this restatement is set out below:

Goodwill Impairment Testing

The Group tests whether goodwill and other intangible assets have suffered any impairment on an annual basis. The recoverable amount of the cash-generating units (CGUs) were determined by a value-in-use calculations using a discounted cash flow mode, based on a five to seven year project period together with a terminal value approved by management. The forecast budget process was developed based revenue expectation on existing customer contracts along with ongoing opportunities. Key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating units is most sensitive. The following key assumptions were used in the discounted cash flow models:

Vection Italy Mindesk Group Blank Canvas JMC Group
Goodwill Balance ($) 850,000 3,587,687 490,020 3,742,355

rate

The discount rate of pre-tax reflects management’s estimate of the time value of money and the Group’s weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the division, the risk free rate and volatility of the share price relative to market movements.

Management believes the above projected revenue growth rate is reasonable based on the following factors:

  • New sales people hired in local market;

  • Cisco partnership creating increased opportunities across product suite;

  • Tenders already in pipeline which, if won will create further visibility;

  • Client opportunities currently being negotiated;

Based on the above, no goodwill impairment expense was recorded since the recoverable amounts of CGUs exceeded the carrying amounts of the CGUs. In determining the other intangible assets impairment for Mindesk Group, the management have concluded that the software's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, it results in an impairment of $933,582.

As disclosed in note 1(d), judgements and estimates in respect of impairment testing have been made. Should these judgments and estimates not occur the recoverable amount of the CGUs may be lower than the carrying amount. The sensitivities are as follows:

  • 3) Segment assets and liabilities

  • All assets are allocated to reportable segments other than cash, GST receivables, office equipment, and certain other receivables. Assets used jointly by reportable segments are allocated on the basis of the revenues earned by individual reportable segments.

27) FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed.

The Group holds the following financial instruments:

a) Market Risk

i) Interest rate risk

As at and during the year ended on reporting date, the Group had no significant interest bearing assets or liabilities other than liquid funds on deposit. As such, the Group’s income and operating cash flows (other than interest income from funds on deposit and interest expense on the facility loan) are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk for each class of financial assets and liabilities is set out below:

Consolidated Consolidated

Financial liabilities
Interest bearing liabilities (Note 13,14) 4,094,927 4,919,958

Group sensitivity

At 30 June 2022, if interest rates had changed by +/- 100 basis points from the year end with all other variables held constant, the loss for the year would have been $148,691 lower/higher (2021: $70,839 higher/lower), as a result of a lower/higher interest income from cash and cash equivalents.

ii) Commodity risk pricing

The Group is not exposed to commodity risk price risk.

b) Credit risk

Credit risk is managed on a Group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum of ‘A’ are accepted. The Group trades only with recognised, trustworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy to perform credit verification procedures in relation to any customer’s financial position and any past experience to set individual risk limits as determined by the Board.

c) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management involves the maintenance of sufficient cash, marketable securities, committed credit facilities and access to capital markets. It is the policy of the Board to ensure that the Group is able to meet its financial obligations and maintain the flexibility to pursue attractive investment opportunities through keeping committed credit lines available where possible, ensuring the Group has sufficient working capital and preserving the 15% share issue limit available to the Company under the ASX Listing Rules. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Maturities of financial liabilities

The following tables detail the consolidated entity's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

The cash flows in the maturity analysis above are not expected to occur significantly earlier than contractually disclosed above.

d) Fair value measurements

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

e) Capital risk management

BEYOND REALITY

ANNUAL REPORT FY2022

PAGE 59

VECTION TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2022 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders.

The capital structure of the Group consists of cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the Parent. The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

f) Foreign exchange risk

As a result of operations in Italy, USA and India, the Group's Statement of Financial Position can be affected by movements in the Euro (EUR)/AUD, United States dollars (USD)/AUD and Indian Rupee (INR)/AUD exchange rates. The Group also has transactional currency exposures. Such exposure arises from sales or purchases by an operating entity in currencies other than the functional currency.

Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2022 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Following the end of the period, in accordance with the terms of the acquisition of JMC Group Srl (JMC), the Company issued 63,912,230 fully paid ordinary shares under its Listing Rule 7.1 capacity. The consideration shares are subject to voluntary escrow for 18 months from 3 August 2021.

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has been financially positive for the Group up to 30 June 2021, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

There were no other matters or circumstances arising since the end of the reporting period that have significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Company and the results of those operations or the state of the affairs of the Company in the financial period subsequent to 30 June 2021.

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Vection Technologies Limited (Company) and its subsidiaries (Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022, 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 the directors' declaration.

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.

Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed this matter
Business combinations
Refer to Note 24 in the financial statements
The Group acquired the businesses of Blank Canvas
Studios (Aus) Pty Ltd and JMC Group S.r.l. as
disclosed in Note 24.
The acquisitions were determined to be business
combinations during the year ended 30 June 2021 and
were accounted for on a provisional basis as at 30
June 2021.
The
measurement
period
for
the
business
combinations ended during the year ended 30 June
2022.
The
finalisation
of
the
business
combination
accounting for these acquisitions is a key audit matter
due to the material nature of the acquisitions, the
related management estimates and judgements
associated with finalising the identification and
measurement of the fair value of the purchase
consideration and assets and liabilities acquired.
Our audit procedures included:

Assessing the Group’s accounting policy for
compliance with Australian Accounting Standards;

Reading the purchase agreements and other
associated documents to obtain an understanding
of the transactions and the related accounting
considerations;

Testing the determination of the fair value of
consideration payable;

Assessing the methods, assumptions and data
utilised in determining the fair value of assets and
liabilities acquired, including evaluating the work
performed by management’s experts and the
competency and objectivity of the expert; and

Assessing the disclosures in the financial
statements,
including
the
restatement
of
comparative balances.
Carrying value of intangible assets
Refer to Note 9 in the financial statements
The Group has intangible assets of $17,027,998 as at
30 June 2022, comprising goodwill of $8,670,062 and
other intangible assets of $8,357,936.
The Group is required to test goodwill acquired in
business combinations for impairment annually.
In addition, the Group is required to assess at 30 June
2022 whether there is any indication that intangible
assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists,
the Group is required to estimate the recoverable
amount of its other intangible assets.
Our audit procedures included:

Assessing the Group’s accounting policy for
compliance with Australian Accounting Standards;

Agreeing acquired goodwill and the fair value of
other intangible assets to the finalised purchase
price allocations for Blank Canvas Studios (Aus)
Pty Ltd and JMC Group S.r.l.;

Critically evaluating management’s assessment of
whether impairment indicators for other intangible
assets were present at 30 June 2022;

Considering the appropriateness of the value in
use models applied by the Group to assess the
carrying value of intangible assets. This included
evaluating the work performed by management’s
expert and assessing the competency and
objectivity of the expert;

==> picture [117 x 62] intentionally omitted <==

Key Audit Matter

We determined this to be a key audit matter due to the extent of management judgement and estimates involved in:

  • Determining the attributable goodwill and fair value of other intangible acquired in relation to the Blank Canvas Studios (Aus) Pty Ltd and JMC Group S.r.l. business combinations (refer KAM above);

  • Testing goodwill for impairment including determining the cash generating unit ( CGU ) to which the goodwill relates and determining the recoverable amount of the related CGU utilising a value in use model which includes assumptions such as revenue growth rate, discount rate and terminal value growth rate;

  • Assessing whether indicators of impairment are present in relation to the Group’s other intangible assets; and

  • Where indicators of impairment are identified, determining the recoverable amount of the related intangible assets by utilising a value in use model which includes assumptions such as revenue growth rate and discount rates.

How our audit addressed this matter

  • Assessing the work performed by component auditors with respect to other intangible assets held within the respective Group’s component entities;

  • Considering the Group’s determination of their CGUs based on our understanding of the operations of the Group’s business and how the identifiable CGUs generate independent cash inflows;

  • Considering the appropriateness of the value in use models applied by the Group to assess the carrying value of CGUs to which goodwill was allocated. This included evaluating the work performed by management’s expert and assessing the competency and objectivity of the expert;

  • • Challenging the Group’s forecast cash flows, EBITDA margin and growth assumptions;

  • Considering the sensitivity of the models by varying key assumptions, such as forecast EBITDA margins, discount rate, within a reasonably possible range;

  • Working with our valuation specialists, we developed a discount rate range considered comparable using publicly available market data for comparable entities and assessed the integrity of the value in use models used;

  • Checked the mathematical accuracy of the impairment expenses recognised and

  • Assessing the adequacy disclosures included in the financial statements.

Revenue from customers Refer to Note 3 in the financial statements

Revenue from customers for the year ended 30 June 2022 was $17,217,685. The primary revenue source is Integrated XR sales to customers.

Revenue was considered a key audit matter because it is a significant account balance in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the process of revenue recognition involves multiple revenue streams for services or products rendered.

Our audit procedures included:

  • Assessing the Group’s accounting policy for compliance with Australian Accounting Standards;

  • • Obtaining an understanding of each of the revenue sources and the process for determining and recognising revenue;

  • On a sample basis, testing revenue recorded to supporting documentation;

  • Testing a sample of revenue transactions before and after the reporting date to assess whether revenue is recognised in the correct financial period;

  • • Assessing the work performed by component auditors with respect to revenue recognised by the respective Group’s component entities; and

  • • Assessing the disclosures in the financial statements.

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022 but does not include the financial report and the auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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 have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

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

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
