CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
I am pleased to present the 2020 Annual Report for Swift Media Limited (ASX: SW1), my second since becoming the Chairman in June 2019.
Despite numerous challenges and difficult market conditions, your Leadership Team has continued to make progress in delivering on the strategy
to simplify the business and to build a stronger and more streamlined Swift. The business is far better run, has a clearer go to market strategy and is closer to fulfilling its potential than ever before.
Your board and management team have worked incredibly hard and temporarily taken substantial pay cuts to reduce business costs following the impact of COVID-19 and I would like to acknowledge their dedication and commitment up front.
FY20 revenues were $23.1 million representing a 9% increase over the prior comparable period after adjusting for one-off items. The business generated an underlying EBITDA1 loss of $1.3 million after adjusting for one-off costs. These results were lower than we had forecasted due to the impact of COVID-19 and reflect a year in which many changes were made to streamline and simplify the business.
Highlights of the year worth calling out include:
- Strategic focus - reducing the number of verticals in which we operate from 11 to 3;
- New customer focussed products - launching Swift Plus specifically to target the Aged Care vertical. This is a proprietary, fit for purpose communications and entertainment system developed and built in house based on customer input, and launched on time and on budget;
- Capability - we strengthened our senior team with a new Sydney based CFO, Geoff Greenberg, a new Chief Customer and Strategy Officer, Kirsty Davison, and two new highly capable and committed independent non-executive directors, Katherine Ostin and Peter Gibbons;
- Efficiency - following the outbreak of COVID-19 we moved quickly to reduce our cost base and protect Swift against a protracted downturn. Compared to last year, and after taking into account the full year impact of the Medical Media acquisition, our operating cost base decreased 13%;
1 EBITDA (earnings before interest, income tax expense, depreciation and amortisation) is a financial measure which is not prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards ('AAS') and represents the profit/(loss) under AAS which has been adjusted to eliminate the effects of tax, depreciation and amortisation, fair value adjustments, impairment expenses, loss on disposal of assets and other one-off items including restructuring costs. In the prior year, underlying EBITDA has also been adjusted to exclude the impact of non-recurring license revenues. A reconciliation between EBITDA and statutory net loss after tax is provided the Operating and Financial Review section.
CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE 4
- New contract wins - despite COVID-19 access restrictions, we won $3.2m in new contracts with a range of mining companies including Rio Tinto, Mineral Resources and Atlas Iron, and aged care facilities including Applewood, Rivervue and Adventist Care Rossmoyne Waters;
- Funding - we agreed an $8m debt facility with Pure Asset Management
and completed two equity capital raises totalling $5.2m to fund the company's strategy. Importantly, we extinguished the convertible loans with Lind and L1 that had caused frustration for shareholders and materially impacted the share price.
Throughout the pandemic, Swift's top priority has been to protect the health and wellbeing of our employees while continuing to support our clients. Your team has proven resilient to the challenges and demands of the last six months. We have continued to transition Swift to be able to capitalise on improved market conditions as access returns.
We are clearly living and operating in extraordinary times. COVID-19 has presented some specific business challenges including restricted access to a significant number of customers in aged care due to the critical importance of biosecurity, as well as the ability to attract investment in advertising from SME's within our health and wellness media network.
As we head into FY 2021, Swift is intensely focused on growing sales revenues while carefully managing costs. Aside from our confidence in having a great aged care product with good early interest from customers, the challenges being faced by the aged care sector means we will focus our efforts on the mining and resources vertical. Swift's deep domain
expertise and highly competitive products in the mining and resources sector position our company well. Planned increases in mining site capital expenditure over the next several years should provide attractive growth opportunities for your company.
I would like to thank our leadership team and staff for their dedication and contribution in these unsettled times. I would like to thank our Chief Executive Officer, Pippa Leary for her leadership and my fellow directors for their support and wise counsel.
Finally, I would like to thank our customers for placing their trust in us to deliver and maintain our market leading communication and entertainment solutions and to all our shareholders for sharing the common vision to deliver on Swift's strong potential.
I pragmatically expect the months ahead to remain challenging but look forward to updating you on several exciting initiatives in the months ahead.
Darren Smorgon
Non-Executive Chairman
CEO'S REPORT
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
It will not surprise you to read that COVID-19 disrupted our year. While our number one priority is to continue to protect our
people, temporary disruptions to site access at mining villages and aged care facilities in the fourth quarter did impact our results.
But that's not the complete story. When I came to Swift a year ago, I knew we had to effectively rebuild the business. Swift had lost focus and costs were too high. Product development had slowed, and sales had become ineffective.
We have been working through the year,
and prior to COVID-19, to make changes to realign the focus of the business from several years of growth by acquisitions and new partnerships, to reducing the number of markets in which we compete - but of course competing much more effectively in our
chosen verticals. This has meant increasing investments in product and people in some areas and reducing investment and cost in other areas.
The results for FY20 reflect the transition we are making to become a fitter, faster and more profitable company.
For FY20 Swift reported consolidated revenue growth of +9% over the prior comparable period. Our project revenues increased 18% and recurring contract revenue was up 7%, remaining stable at 83% of total revenues.
Underlying EBITDA1 for FY20, which excludes the impact of non-recurring,non-cash items of $9.4 million and one-off restructuring and acquisition related expenses of $1.9 million, was a loss of $1.3 million or $0.1 million lower than the prior year. Further excluding the impact of the Medical Media acquisition, which was completed in February 2019, underlying EBITDA increased 20% to a loss of $0.8 million.
Consolidated operating expenses for the year increased in part due to the full year impact of absorbing costs associated with the Medical Media acquisition, which was loss making at the time of acquisition. Excluding the impact of Medical Media, our operating expenses declined by 13% over the prior corresponding period and are tracking at an even lower run rate following some post COVID-19 cost outs.
But rather than dwell on the challenges that came with the old Swift, I'd like to focus on what we have achieved, and our plans for growth for the new Swift.
Let me share with you the foundations for our future success and why I am optimistic Swift can fulfill its great potential. I joined your company because I could see the opportunity for Swift to become a much larger and more profitable business that can deliver strong and sustainable returns for shareholders. I am committed to delivering on that promise.

CEO'S REPORT 6
Our greatest strength is our people. Through COVID-19 our people have been exceptional. They have quickly moved to remote working, have adapted to a more streamlined organisational structure and have gone above and beyond to care for clients during this difficult period. Let me say upfront, I am proud of their contribution and dedicated efforts in these anxious times.
We continue to strengthen our team. As Darren mentioned Geoff Greenberg, Kirsty Davison, Katherine Ostin and Peter Gibbons joined us this year. They have tremendous experience, capabilities and connections. We can leverage these assets to drive growth. As I like to say, the value of our team far exceeds our market capitalisation.
We have the leading domain expertise in our markets. We know what our clients' communication and engagement needs are, and what their customers want to watch. We curate the content specifically for them. We also know how to deliver it cost effectively.
Technology is in our DNA. We design and build our own technology solutions in house. We launched Swift Plus first in the Aged care market. Swift Plus is our new in house designed and built communication and entertainment system. It solves both the social isolation problems for residents and their families that COVID-19 is highlighting, as well as helping the facilities meet their OHS compliance requirements across multiple sites. Even with the lockdown we are making sales and have installed our proprietary new system in 800 rooms across five aged care facilities. We also evolved the "My Family My Community" app to better enable providers to keep families updated and remain in contact with loved ones in aged care facilities. For those of you that have a loved one in such a facility, you'll understand how important this is.
Our business model is another strength. As a specialist technology company, we provide closed loop entertainment and communications solutions to connect and engage with communities. Think of us like the entertainment system on an airline - but with far more customer specific expertise, curated content and the ability to allow the airline to communicate and engage with you directly. Closed loop is an important point too. It enables access to early release content and provides some protection from commoditisation. We source content for our specific audiences from all over the world - including live sport and blockbuster movies.
Our revenue model is resilient. We engage with clients on 3-5 year contracts where the
facility pays the fee to view. These contracts generate recurring revenue with very high levels of customer retention. We are not driven by cyclical advertising revenues in our two key businesses
- once the system is installed it's a recurring subscription model. These high levels of recurring revenues give us the ability to plan and invest for growth.
Swift is a far more focused and streamlined company with a better balance sheet. We have reduced the number of verticals we operate in from 11 down to three:
- Mining and Resources, where we have our largest business accounting for around 58% of group revenues, is in full production. We are a leader in iron ore, and we are beginning to serve other mine sites in gold, lithium and copper. There will be plenty of opportunity for growth for us. We have tailored our Aged Care product, Swift Plus, to Mining and Resource clients. It enables us to engage the mine site at the exploration stage in the mine life cycle and we are having success in being at the camp from the beginning. These are long duration relationships. Importantly, the sector is in growth mode. We want to make sure we are well placed to fully capitalise on the upcoming $50bn mining camp capex boom.
- Aged Care is our second largest business where we serve over 12,000 rooms. The sector is changing. We fully support the Royal Commission in setting new, higher standards of care. We are part of that new world solution. Our entertainment and communications systems have real benefits for aged care operators and residents. The average age of residents is 85 years old with basic free to air TV in 85% of rooms. About 50% of residents are living with dementia, depression or suffering isolation and carers have limited time to
service their needs. Lockdown has further shone a light on the need for a solution to social isolation. Our product does that.
We have specially curated content for residents, easy to use communication platform for facilities and a mobile application for families. We have completed a deep dive on the customer demographic and changing requirements in this vertical and while there are restrictions on access to facilities as they prioritise biosecurity, COVID-19 also creates an excellent long-term growth tailwind. We are well placed to grow as access resumes.
- Our last vertical is Health and Wellbeing (formerly Medical Media). When we acquired the business, it was burning cash. It had an unsustainable cost structure. We have now fixed that. In June, we announced our partnership with XTD Ltd (ASX: XTD). In a nutshell we have outsourced national sales while we focus on our strength in local sales. In exchange we get a share of revenue with a good guaranteed minimum for the next three years. We continue to explore ways to leverage further value in this part of the business.
As COVID-19 first hit we also moved quickly to streamline our cost base. We took out an initial $8m of annualised costs. Job keeper was announced after the cuts and it does provide more flexibility. We have since selectively and carefully reinvested a portion of these savings given our outlook has improved since March/April. But we are disciplined and we are maintaining a lower cost base.
We also had to address our balance sheet. We had a legacy equity loan facility that damaged our share price. We got rid of that. We needed to make sure we can endure what could be a protracted downturn and have the funds available to capitalise on the new significant commercial opportunities ahead. We successfully raised over $5m of new equity funds and completed an $8m loan agreement.
So while Q4 was clearly an extraordinary period with COVID-19, I am pleased to report we did make progress towards building a fitter, faster and more profitable Swift. As I said at the start, this is a transition year. Even with the distractions we will continue to focus on building a stronger business with a better growth outlook - that's why I am excited about the future.
In conclusion, I would like to thank the Directors for their support and wise counsel as well as our Leadership Team and Staff for the impressive amount of effort and dedication they have provided over the past year.
I thank all of our existing and new shareholders who share our common vision and enthusiasm. The next twelve months promises to be exciting and I look forward to updating you as we progress.

Response to COVID-19
Swift acted proactively to implement measures to ensure the Company was well capitalised, right-sized and focussed on growth opportunities.
In late March 2020, Swift implemented cost savings measures to respond to the COVID-19 environment, extracting permanent cost savings from non-essential operating and administrative costs and a workforce rationalisation. This included a 40% reduction in remuneration for the board, management and staff. Subsequent to these measures being implemented, Swift
successfully accessed the Federal Government's Job Keeper assistance program to further shore up retention of core intellectual property and enable a quick scale-up in the face of returning demand.
Most pleasingly in the face of widespread disruptions caused by COVID-19 to the broader macro environment, in April 2020 Swift announced the award of 5 new contracts wins totalling $3.2 million highlighting the value of Swift's offering.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
On a statutory basis, the Group achieved operating revenue of $23,080,174 (FY19: $24,713,183)
and a consolidated net loss after tax of $21,647,091 (2019: loss of $6,905,498). The FY
2020 financial performance reflects the material adverse impact of COVID-19 on the business for the last four months of FY 2020 and includes associated impairment write-downs of $13,613,483 for FY 2020.
After normalising for one-off licensing revenues earned in the prior fiscal year, the group achieved revenue growth of 9% for the FY20 year and an underlying EBITDA loss of $1.3m, a decrease of $0.1m or 8% over the prior comparable period. Revenue was driven by strong project revenue increases, mainly in the Mining and Resources vertical. EBITDA was stable from FY20 vs FY19 as the business took actions to protect profit in the second half of the year from the impact of COVID-19.
Gross profit margin was up 0.4 percentage points driven by an increasing mix of aged care recurring revenues and the full year impact of the Medical Media acquisition.
Operating expenses for the year increased in part due to the full year impact of absorbing costs associated with the Medical Media acquisition, which was loss making at the time of acquisition. One-off,non-cash items contributed $9.4 million to statutory operating expenses relating to the impairment of historic acquired goodwill, the provision for doubtful debtors and net of fair value gains on deferred acquisition performance payments. While the business did invest in core resources to support its future direction, it simultaneously rationalised costs associated with non- core market verticals. These undertakings resulted in one-off cash costs of $1.9 million relating to business restructuring and acquisition charges.
The following table provides a year on year comparative analysis of the key profit and loss items normalised for one-off,non-recurring and non-cash items.

DIRECTORS' REPORT 14
Swift acquired the Medical Media business in February 2019. At the time Medical Media was loss making and as a result it is informative to present in the following tables the disaggregated view of the FY20 summary results (and comparative to FY19), down to EBITDA, separating Medical Media from the rest of the business. Note the Medical Media acquisition was completed on 15 February 2019 and its contribution to the FY19 results are only for that part of the year consolidated into the results of Swift Media.
Excluding the results of the Medical Media acquisition, the underlying Swift business increased EBITDA by 20%. During FY20, and in part due to the impact of COVID-19 on local media revenues, approximately $4 million in annualised costs were rationalised out of the former Medical Media business, setting it up for a more profitable outlook. The benefits of these cost cuts were partially realised during the second half of FY20 and expect to be realised during the entirety of FY21.

The business incurred cash restructuring expenses in FY20 related to streamlining the business for a more focused set of strategic verticals and tactical measures taken in response to COVID trading impact.
Balance sheet and liquidity
The Company's cash balance increased from $0.4m at the end of FY2019 to $2.4m at the end of FY20 reflecting a series of capital restructuring actions designed to strengthen the balance sheet and streamline funding arrangements. These actions included:
- November 2019 - completed equity capital raise for $1.9 million (before costs);
- December 2019 - secured a four-year, $8m debt facility with PURE Asset Management Ltd to replace a $4.5m debt facility;
- April 2020 - as a response to Covid-19 further strengthened its balance sheet, obtaining approximately $3.3million (before costs) of equity funding via a private placement and fully subscribed non-renounceable rights issue. The successful raise facilitated the full buy- back of outstanding loan notes issued by L1 Capital and Lind Partners simplifying the Company's capital structure.
As a result of these actions the Company's current asset position increased from $6.7m to $8.1m and current liabilities decreased from $17.5m to $11.5m.
Long term borrowings ended FY20 at $6.9m. Swift has negotiated covenant waivers with its senior secured debt provider through to the end of the 2020 calendar year.
Swift will continue to investigate opportunities to further strengthen its balance sheet and access growth capital.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS
During the financial year, Swift Media Limited paid a premium of $34,376 to insure the Directors and Officers of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of any entity in the Group, and any other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such proceedings, other than where such liabilities arise out of conduct involving a wilful breach of the duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of their position or of information to gain an advantage for themselves or someone else to cause detriment to the Company. It is not possible to apportion the premium between amounts relating to the insurance against legal costs and those relating to other liabilities.

BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd is the Group's auditor. During the year, BDO Tax services were performed for other services in addition to their statutory duties. In the future the Group may decide to employ the auditor on assignments additional to their statutory audit duties where the auditor's expertise and experience with the Company is important.
Details of the amount paid to the auditors are disclosed in Note 24 to the financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 32
Note 1. Reporting entity
Swift Media Limited (the 'Company') is a Company domiciled in Australia and a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of the Swift Media Limited and controlled entities (the "consolidated Group" or "Group").
The separate financial statements of the parent entity, Swift Media Limited, have not been presented within this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001.
Note 2. Statement of Significant accounting policies
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the
Corporations Act 2001.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
Going Concern
The annual report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Group incurred a loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2020 of $21,647,091 (2019: loss of $6,905,498) and net cash outflows from operating activities of $4,350,578 (2019: cash outflow of $2,316,601).
At reporting date, the Company obtained covenant waiver from senior lender and therefore is in compliance with all of its loan covenants that govern the facility.
The COVID-19 pandemic has developed rapidly during 2020. The resulting impact of the virus on the operations and the measures taken by various governments to contain the virus have negatively impacted the group results during the reporting period. The current known impacts of COVID-19 on the group are:
- A decline in revenue of 47% for the last quarter of FY2020, compared to the same period of 2019
- Increasing loss provisions for Receivables by $2,642,663 in anticipation of higher credit losses due to customer collection issues
- Impact on the Group's forward-looking forecasts has resulted in a $13,613,483 impairment write downs
Furthermore, the Company expects to see slower than forecast revenue growth due to anticipated delays in the roll out of the Company's "Swift Plus" bespoke Aged Care product, the result of the adoption of stricter biosecurity measures by Aged Care facility operators limiting Swift's ability to undertake installations of its system hardware.
Note 2. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued)
As a result of these matters, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Group's ability as a going concern and whether the group will realise its assets and settle it liabilities in the ordinary course of business at the amounts recorded in the financial statements.
In a response to these matters, the Company has taken the following actions:
- Raised $3.3million (before costs) via a placement and non-renounceable entitlement offer in April 2020 to strengthen the Balance Sheet
- Obtained covenant waivers from our senior lenders for the remainder of the 2020 calendar year such that the next covenant test point will be 30 June 2021
- Sought permission from our senior lenders to capitalise interest payments due in Q4 FY 2020
- Introduced cost rationalisation measures to significantly reduce its operating costs including workforce wide salary cuts and discretionary speeding freezes and
- Successfully applied for the federal government Job Keeper assistance grant and rent relief under state government legislation
However, if government-imposed restrictions on citizen's movement were to remain in place throughout the remainder of the 2020 calendar year and beyond, continuing to adversely impact customer collections and Swift's ability to obtain new revenues, it may be necessary to raise additional capital or additional debt from financiers or lenders.
Although it is not certain that these efforts will be successful, management has determined that the actions taken are sufficient to mitigate the uncertainty and has therefore prepared the financial reports on a going concern basis.
The Directors have assessed the likely cash flow for the 12 month period from date of signing this annual report and its impact on the Group and believe there will be sufficient funds to meet the Group's working capital requirements as at the date of this report, based on the belief that additional funds can be raised to finance the Group's activity.
The Group has historically demonstrated its ability to raise funds to satisfy its immediate cash requirements and will consider all funding options as required, for future capital requirements.
The Directors of the Group have reason to believe that in addition to the cash flow currently available, and expected funding through equity or debt fundraising, additional funds from receipts are expected through commercialisation of the Group's products and services.
Noting all of the above, and in conjunction with the Group's historical ability to raise funds to satisfy its immediate cash requirements the Directors are satisfied the Group is a going concern and therefore have prepared the financial statements on the basis the Group will continue to meet its commitments and can therefore continue normal business activities and realise its assets and settle liabilities in the normal course of the business.
The accounting policies applied and methods of computation for the year ended 30 June 2020 are consistent with those of the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2019.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 34
Note 2. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued)
(a) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Swift Media Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Swift Media Limited has the ability and right to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity's activities. Control will generally exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also considered.
Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities are included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 27 to the financial statements.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-Group balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated Group have been eliminated in full on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity.
Non-controlling interests, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent, are reported separately within the Equity section of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. The non- controlling interests in the net assets comprise their interests at the date of the original business combination and their share of changes in equity since that date.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
Investments in subsidiaries are carried at amortised cost in the Company's financial statements.
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-Group balances, and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intra-Group transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
(b) Income Tax
The income tax expense / (benefit) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense / (benefit).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting period. Current tax liabilities / (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to / (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense / (benefit) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Note 2. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued)
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
- Financial Instruments Accounting Policy
The Group has adopted AASB 9 Financial Instruments with a date of initial application of 1 July 2018.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments replaces AASB 139's Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement requirements. It makes major changes to the previous guidance on the classification and measurement of financial assets and introduces an 'expected credit loss' model for impairment of financial assets.
As a result of the adoption of AASB 9, the impairment of financial assets using the expected credit loss model applies now to the Group's trade receivable. For contract assets arising from AASB 15 and trade receivables, the Group applies a simplified model of recognising lifetime expected credit loss as these items do not have a significant financing component.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 36
Note 2. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued)
Recognition and derecognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.
Classification and initial measurement of financial assets
Financial assets are classified according to their business model and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows and are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).
Subsequent measurement
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the following four categories:
- Financial assets at amortised cost
- Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
- Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
- Equity instruments at FVTOCI
All income and expense relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses.
Financial assets at amortised cost
Financial assets with contractual cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest and held within a business model of 'hold to collect' contractual cash flows are accounted for at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The Group's trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables as well as contract assets and records the loss allowance at the amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. In using this practical expedient, the Company uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix.
For long term trade receivables, the expected credit loss is based on either the 12-month or lifetime expected credit loss. The 12-month expected credit loss is the portion of lifetime expected credit losses that results from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. When there has been a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the allowance will be based on the lifetime expected credit loss. In all cases, the Company considers that there has been a significant increase in credit risk when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due.
Note 2. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued)
The Company considers a financial asset in default when contractual payment are 90 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Company may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Company.
On the above basis, a loss allowance of $2,642,663 was recognised in the year for trade receivables and contract assets. The Company has determined that for the long-term debtors, the results of applying the expected credit risk model was such that a loss allowance of $1,224,691 was recognised.
(d) Financing Element
The Group from time to time enter into contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. This affects the estimate of transaction price as it will be adjusted for the effects of time value of money as the timing of payment provides the customer with a significant benefit of financing the transfer of goods to the customer. The difference between the transaction price and the cash selling price of the goods is recognised as finance income over time.
(e) Impairment of Assets
At each the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income unless the asset is carried at a relevant amount in accordance with another standard (e.g. in accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other standard.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.
(f) Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company's functional currency and the functional currency of the majority of the Group.
(g) 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 various valuation models (including Black Scholes and Monte Carlo) after 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 the assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 38
Note 2. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued)
The fair value of options at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes or Binomial option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, term of 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.
Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. At each reporting date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate.
Upon the exercise of the options, the balance of the share-based payments reserve relating to those options is transferred to share capital and the proceeds received are credited to share capital.
Employees and Directors
The Group measure 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 with the recognition of the expense accounted for over the vesting period. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account he terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted.
Key inputs to the Black-Scholes options pricing model include the expected price volatility and risk-free interest rate. The expected price volatility is based on the historical volatility adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information. The risk interest is the risk-free rate of securities with comparable terms to maturity.
(h) Employee Benefits
Wages, salaries and annual leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries and annual leave are recognised and are measured as the amount unpaid at the reporting date at current pay rates in respect of employees' services up to that date.
Superannuation
Contributions to employee superannuation plans are charged as an expense as the contributions are paid or become payable.
(i) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result, and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.
(j) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows. Cash held on reserve to meet collateral requirements, lease bonds and for regulatory purposes are not included in cash and cash equivalents but classified as cash deposits not available for use by the Group.
Note 2. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued)
(k) Trade and Other Receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30-60 days.
The consolidated entity has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. For long term trade receivables, the expected credit loss is based on either the 12 month or lifetime expected credit loss. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue. Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit loss.
(l) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of coast and net realisable value. The cost of manufactured products includes direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overheads. Overheads are applied on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average costs.
(m) Property, Plant & Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a diminishing value basis over their useful lives to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
• | Motor Vehicles | 25% | |
• | Software | 25% | - 66.66% |
• Office Equipment, Fit Out & Furniture | 10% | - 100% | |
• Test Equipment & Tools | 10% | - 66.66% |
- Rental Equipment - Digital Entertainment
System | 20% - 100% |
(n) Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises of the:
- fair values of the assets transferred
- liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business
- equity interests issued by the group
- fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, and
- fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 40
Note 2. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued)
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition- by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquired entity's net identifiable assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. The excess of the
- consideration transferred,
- amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity, and
- acquisition-datefair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity
over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.
(o) Intangibles
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful life and assessed for impairment at least twice a year or whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and amortisation method are reviewed at least each financial year end. Changes in the expected useful life or flow of economic benefits intrinsic in the asset are an accounting estimate. The amortisation charge on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Customer contracts
Customer contracts acquired as part of a business combination are recognised separately from goodwill. The customer contracts are carried at their fair value at the date of acquisition less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Where customer contracts useful lives are assessed as finite, the customer contracts are amortised over their estimated useful lives of 1 to 2 years.
Practice Sites
Practice Sites acquired as part of a business combination are recognised separately from goodwill. Calculation is based on costs to supply and install devices at each of the sites at the date of acquisition. This is amortised over the estimated useful lives of 5 years.
Research and development costs
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects are recognised as intangible assets when it is probable that the project will, after considering its commercial and technical feasibility, be completed and generate future economic benefits and its costs can be reliably measured. Expenditure capitalised comprises all directly attributable costs including costs of materials, services and direct labour. Other development expenditure that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of intangible over its estimated useful life (1-5 years) commencing when the intangible is available for use. The carrying value of an intangible asset arising from development expenditure is tested for impairment when an indication of impairment arises during the period.
Note 2. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued)
(p) Contract Assets
Subscriber acquisition costs directly attributable to obtaining customer contracts, generating or enhancing resources and are expected to be on-charged to the customer, are recognised as an asset when it is probable that the future economic benefits arising as a result of the costs incurred will flow to the Group. Other subscriber acquisition costs that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of intangible over its estimated useful life (contract life) commencing when the intangible is available for use. The carrying value of an intangible asset arising from subscriber acquisition costs is tested for impairment when an indication of impairment arises during the period.
(q) Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the Group during the reporting period which remains unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amount being normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.
(r) Financing Costs
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
(s) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(t) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities, which are not incremental costs relating to the actual draw-down of the facility, are recognised as prepayments and amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the facility.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
Convertible Notes
Convertible notes were issued by the Group during the period, which include embedded derivatives (option to convert the security to variable number of shares in the Group). This convertible note is initially recognised as financial liabilities at fair value on initial recognition, fair value of the convertible note equates to the proceeds received and subsequently, the note is measured at fair value. The movements are recognised on the statement of profit or loss as transaction costs except to the extent the movement is attributable to changes in the Group's own credit status, in which case the movement is recognised in other comprehensive income.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 42
Note 2. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued)
(u) Contract Liabilities
Contract Liabilities represent the fair value consideration received from its customer in advance of the Group meeting its performance obligations to deliver goods or services.
(v) Fair value of assets and liabilities
The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non- recurring basis, depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard.
Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly (i.e. unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date.
As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data.
To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (i.e. the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (i.e. the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs).
For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant's ability to use the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The fair value of liabilities and the entity's own equity instruments (excluding those related to share- based payment arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial instruments, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as assets. Where this information is not available. other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, are detailed in the respective note to the financial statements.
(w) Current and non-current classification
Both assets and liabilities are classified as current if the Group expects to realise them within 12 months.
(x) 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.
Note 2. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued)
(y) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated as a net profit attributable to members, 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, 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.
- Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
When the Group applies an accounting policy retrospectively, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial statements, a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period will be disclosed.
(aa) Segment Information
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer.
(ab) Government Grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and the Group satisfies all attached conditions.
When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate.
When the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is credited against the asset and is released to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual instalments.
Where a grant is received in relation to the tax benefit of research and development costs, the grant shall be credited to income tax expense in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the year of receipt.
(ac) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
Revenue from contracts with customer
The Group applied the following judgements that significantly affect the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers:
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 44
Note 2. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued)
(ac) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments (continued)
Identifying performance obligations
The Group provides software licences and equipment which are either sold separately or bundled together with the provision of ongoing content. The Group determined that the licence and equipment are distinct performance obligations to the provision of content as other content can be used on Swift's software and equipment and there is no significant service of integration or interdependency. The fact that the Group regularly sells both the licence and/or equipment and the content on a standalone basis indicates that the customer can benefit from both products on their own.
Allocating the transaction price
Where contracts include multiple deliverables that are separate performance obligations, judgement is required in determining the allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the stand-alone selling prices. Where these are not directly observable, they are estimated based on expected cost-plus margin.
Consideration of significant financing component in a contract
Certain contracts allow for deferred payment terms. The Group concluded that there is a significant financing component for these contracts in accordance with AASB 15. In determining the financing component to be applied to the amount of consideration, the Group has made judgements with respect to the interest rate used in this calculation and concluded that the interest rate implicit in the contract is appropriate because this is commensurate with the rate that would be reflected in a separate financing transaction between the entity and its customer at contract inception.
Assessing the reversal constraint
Certain contracts with deferred payments terms have a risk of payment forfeiture if the contract is terminated. The Directors have determined that it is highly improbable that these contracts would be terminated, or that the parties to these contracts would become insolvent, and accordingly have rebutted this possibility in recognising revenue.
Contingent consideration
The Directors have assessed the likelihood of reaching various performance share milestones at reporting date (refer to Note 14) and information regarding contracts related to rooms, revenue and profitability.
Goodwill - impairment assessment
Goodwill impairment testing was undertaken, and indicators of impairment have been identified. An impairment expense of $12,630,944 has been recognised in the Profit and Loss Statement. Refer to Note 10 for details of the assumptions used in these calculations.
Sensitivity to possible changes in key assumptions
Management have made judgements and estimates in respect of impairment testing of goodwill which management deem to be best estimates. Should the judgements and estimates not occur, the resulting goodwill may vary in carrying amount. The key assumptions are as follows (refer note
10 for further detail):
- Growth rate
- Discount rate
- Terminal value long term growth rate
- Capital expenditure
- Gross margin
Note 2. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued)
(ac) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments (continued)
Impairment expenses totalling $12,630,944 has been recognised in respect of goodwill at the end of the reporting period. Refer to Note 10 for sensitivity analysis of above inputs.
Share based payment transactions
The Group 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 an external valuation using a Monte Carlo performance rights model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. Refer to Note 20 on Share based expenses for the year.
Allowance for expected credit loss
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 7, is calculated based on the information available at the time of preparation. The actual credit losses in future years may be higher or lower.
Business combinations
As discussed in Note 29, 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.
Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the consolidated entity considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Fair value measurement hierarchy
The consolidated entity is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Considerable judgement is required to determine what is significant to fair value and therefore which category the asset or liability is placed in can be subjective.
The fair value of assets and liabilities classified as level 3 is determined by the use of valuation models. These include discounted cash flow analysis or the use of observable inputs that require significant adjustments based on unobservable inputs.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 46
Note 2. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued)
(ac) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments (continued)
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.
Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
The consolidated entity 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. 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 discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows. Refer to note 23 for further information.
Lease term
The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Judgement is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease or purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease commencement date. Factors considered may include the importance of the asset to the consolidated entity's operations; comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. The consolidated entity reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances.
Incremental borrowing rate
Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is based on what the consolidated entity estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment.
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 consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Note 2. Statement of Significant accounting policies (continued)
(ad) New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet adopted
The Group has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2020. The consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below.
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework)
The revised Conceptual Framework is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards. Where the consolidated entity has relied on the existing framework in determining its accounting policies for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with under the Australian Accounting Standards, the consolidated entity may need to review such policies under the revised framework. At this time, the application of the Conceptual Framework is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated entity's financial statements.

Trade and other receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 30-60 day terms. An Expected Credit Loss is made when there is objective evidence that a trade receivable is impaired. A loss allowance totalling $2,898,554 has been provided for Trade Receivables on 30 June 2020 of which $2,642,663 have been recorded as an expense in the Profit & Loss Statement.
Due to short term nature of the current receivables, their carrying amount is considered to be the same as their fair value. For the majority of the non-current receivables, the fair values are also not significantly different to their carrying amounts.
At 30 June 2020, current trade receivables of $471,762 (2019: $ 974,776) were past due, but not impaired. These relate to a number of independent customers for whom there is no recent history of default. Swift is confident that these receivables are collectable and are active in the management and reduction of these overdue amounts.
Refer to Note 23 Financial Risk Management for risk exposure analysis for Trade and other receivables.
- Trade receivables includes $483,124 (30 June 2019: $196,111) of current contract assets which relate to work performed at 30 June 2020 but not yet invoiced.

Note 10. Intangible Assets (continued)
On 15 February 2019 the Group acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Medical Channel Pty Ltd including Goodwill of $2,739,203 and identifiable Practice Sites of $4,139,024 were recognised on acquisition. Goodwill is recognised initially as the excess over the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the fair value of any non-controlling interests, and the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interests, less than fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities consumed.
Development costs consists of amounts spent developing product enhancements to the Group's "On Demand" digital entertainment system to allow smart television and hotel property management system integration capabilities, as well as Bring Your Own Device ("BYOD") capabilities allowing user to access the Swift Entertainment app via Android and IOS smart phones and tablets. More recently Swift has invested to develop its "Swift Plus" product, a bespoke offering for its Aged Care customers. These new technology advancements will allow Swift to derive additional revenue streams from a growing number of different market verticals. Development costs are amortised over five years.
Customer Contracts consists of existing fixed term customer contracts inherited as part of acquisition. Customer Contracts are amortised over three years from date of acquisition.
Other intangible assets include costs incurred in order to establish content agreements with suppliers, which the company will offer to customers as part of its entertainment content offering. These costs are amortised over the average term of the supplier content agreements.
Assessment of carrying value
The aggregate carrying amount of intangibles allocated to the Group's separably identifiable cash- generating units (CGU):
2020 | 2019 | |
$ | $ | |
Swift Networks - Intangibles | 1,750,770 | 2,501,758 |
Medical Channel - Intangibles | 3,003,257 | 3,831,062 |
Swift Networks - Goodwill | - | 9,891,741 |
Medical Channel - Goodwill | - | 2,937,425 |
4,754,027 | 19,161,986 | |
For the purpose of impairment testing, intangibles are allocated to two (2019: two) consolidated cash- generating units (CGU). Due to a review and refinement of the business strategy following the integration of the acquired Medical Channel business, the focus is now on managing profitability across two business units profit rather than a single consolidated unit, effective 15 February 2019. The CGUs and aggregate carrying amounts are structured to fall in line with the Group operations and cash flows. The Medical Channel operations are substantially separate from the Group from 15 February 2019. Refer to note 29, Business Combinations, for further details.
During 2020, revenue streams across Swift Networks and Medical Channel were disrupted due to the restructuring of the Medical Channel business and the impact of COVID-19. The effect of these factors was to delay the award of construction projects, reduce activity in the Aged Care sector, and drive a softer advertising market resulting in a decline in revenue and operating cash flow. The subsequent impairment testing exercise determined the amount of intangibles and goodwill exceeded their recoverable amount (implied business value) and an impairment was recognised. It was concluded that fair value in use less cost of disposal did not exceed value in use.
During the year ending 30 June 2020, impairment of $9,891,741 and $2,739,203 were recognised for Swift Networks and Medical Channel respectively (2019: nil).
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 57
Note 10. Intangible Assets (continued)
The recoverable amount of the CGUs is determined based on value-in-use calculations. Value-in-use calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets covering a projected five-year period and then estimating a terminal value. The cash flow for FY2021 is based on the FY2021 budget adopted by the Board. The cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate of 13.35%.
Note:in FY 2020 adjustment of $198,222 was made to the provisional accounting for the acquisition Medical Channel Pty Ltd which had the effect of reducing the amount of goodwill recognised on acquisition by $198,222.

Management has determined the values assigned to each of the above key estimates as follows:
Assumption | Approach used to determine values |
Pre-tax discount rate | Based on average value of observed betas for comparable listed companies. |
Growth rate | Growth rates have been determined with reference to external sources including industry |
specific forecasts, adjusted for management's best estimate of growth achievable in the | |
current economic and competitive environment. | |
Capital spend | at Expected costs to maintain assets in current condition. |
Average Gross Margin | Based on FY20 budgeted revenue and cost of sales. |

assessment |
Sensitivity to change in assumptions
The Directors and management have considered and assessed reasonably possible changes to key assumptions that result in a change to the recoverable amount for each CGU. With regard to the assessment, management recognises that the actual time value of money may vary from the estimated and the discount rate used.
Estimated reasonable possible changes in the key assumptions would have the following approximate impact on impairment of the CGU as at 30 June 2020:

Capital risk management
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell to reduce debt.
The Group will look to raise capital when an opportunity to make investments is seen as value adding relative to the current parent entity's share price at the time of the investment.
The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
The Capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 2019 Annual Financial Statement.

Note 22. Segment information
Activities in the operating segments are identified by management based on the manner in which resources are allocated, the nature of the resources provided and the identity of service line manager and area of income and expenditure. Discrete financial information about each of these areas is reported to the executive management team on a monthly basis. Up to 15 February 2019, Board of Directors (Board) monitored the operating results of the Group distinct business segments, being Swift Pty Ltd, VOD Pty Ltd, Living Networks and Web2TV as one consolidated Group for the purposes of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Due to acquisition of Medical Channel on 15 February 2019, the focus is now on business unit profit, being the provision of digital entertainment services in Australia and the provision of advertising revenue in Australia. This internal reporting framework is the most relevant to assist the Board with making decisions regarding the company and its ongoing activities.

Note 23. Financial risk management
Introduction and overview
The Group activities expose it to various types of risk that are associated with the financial instruments and markets in which it invests. The most important types of financial risk to which the Group is exposed are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
Risk management framework
Market risk
Market risk is analysed as market price risk, interest rate risk and currency risk.
Market price risk
Market price risk is the risk that changes in market prices (other than changes due to currency or interest rate risk) will affect the Group's income or value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures.
As at balance date the exposure to market price risk related to financial instruments was considered to be immaterial.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk consists of cash flow interest rate risk (the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument will vary due to changes in market interest rates) and fair value interest rate risk (the risk that the value of a financial instrument will vary due to changes in market interest rates).
Management of interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of financial loss and / or increased costs due to adverse movements in the values of the financial assets and liabilities as a result of changes in interest rates. Management mitigates this risk by entering into fixed interest rate contracts.
Exposure to interest rate risk
As at the reporting date the interest rate risk was considered to be immaterial.
Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the value of assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency will fluctuate due to adverse movements in exchange rates.
As at 30 June 2020, the Group has no exposure to currency risk relating to an operating lease and contractual commitments denominated in $US. A 10% movement in exchange rate would not have a material impact for the Group.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
Management of credit risk
Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis.
Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of the Group's financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

The Group makes use of a simplified approach, under AASB 9, in accounting for short term trade and other receivables as well as contract assets and records the loss allowance at the amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. In using this practical expedient, the Group uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix.
The Group has used a general approach, under AASB 9, in accounting for long term trade receivables. Loss allowance for lifetime expected credit losses is recorded, if there is a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition of the financial asset. At 30 June 2020, a loss allowance of $1,224,691 was made for long term receivables.

Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed in accordance with approved board policy. Such policy requires that surplus funds are only invested with counterparties with a Standard & Poor's rating of at least A-.
Note 23. Financial risk management (continued)
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.
Exposure to liquidity risk
As at reporting date the Group had sufficient cash reserves to meet its requirements. The Group has no access to credit standby facilities or arrangements for further funding or borrowings in place.
The financial liabilities the Group had at reporting date were trade payables incurred in the normal course of the business. These were non-interest bearing and were due within the normal 30-60 days terms of creditor payments.

Note 23. Financial risk management (continued)
Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and non-interest bearing monetary financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group approximates their carrying amounts.
The fair value of other monetary financial assets and financial liabilities is based upon market prices where a market exists or by discounting the expected future cash flows by the current interest rates for assets and liabilities with similar risk profiles. Non-interest bearing related party receivables and loans are repayable on demand, thus face value equates to fair value.
The fair value of deferred consideration is based upon market prices at reporting period.
Equity investments traded on organised markets have been valued by reference to market prices prevailing at balance date. For non-traded equity investments, the fair value is an assessment by the Directors based on the underlying net assets, future maintainable earnings and any special circumstances pertaining to a particular investment.
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities equates to their fair values at balance date.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the members of Swift Media Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Swift Media Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, 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 report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors' declaration.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
- Giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
- 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 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 confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report.
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 2 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd and BDO Australia Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.
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.
Recoverability of intangible assets
Key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
Note 10 in the financial report discloses the individual intangible assets and the assumptions used by the Group in testing these assets for impairment.
Management's assessment of the recoverability of the intangible assets is supported by a value in use cash flow forecast, which requires estimates and judgements about future performance.
These include judgements and estimates over the expectation of future revenues, anticipated budgeted costs, growth rates expected and the discount rate applied.
Given the extent of judgement involved in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the financial significance of the impairment recognised, we considered this to be a key audit matter.
Our procedures included, but were not limited to the following:
- Evaluating the Group's categorisation of Cash Generating Units ("CGUs") and the allocation of goodwill to the carrying value of CGUs based on our understanding of the Group's business;
- Challenging key inputs used in the value in use calculations including the following:
- Assessing the discount rate used by involving internal valuation experts and comparing them to market data and industry research;
- Comparing growth rates with historical data and economic and industry growth forecasts;
- Assessing the Group's forecast cash flows is consistent with our knowledge of the business, board approved budget, incorporating any potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and corroborating our work with external information where possible;
- Performing sensitivity analysis on the revenue, growth rates, gross profit margins, discount rates and impact of COVID-19; and
- Assessing the adequacy of the related disclosures in the financial report.
Recoverability of trade receivables
Key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
Refer to Note 2(c) and Note 2(ac) of the financial report for a description of the accounting policy and significant estimates and judgements applied to these assets.
In accordance with AASB 9 Financial Instruments, at the end of each reporting period, management are required to assess whether there is any objective evidence that these assets are impaired. Under the impairment requirements of the standard, losses are recognised on an expected credit loss ('ECL') basis and is required to incorporate forward-looking information, reflecting the Group's view of potential future economic scenarios.
Due to the subjectivity involved in determining whether there is any objective evidence of impairment on these assets, we have determined that the recoverability of trade and receivables is a key audit matter.
Our procedures included, but were not limited to the following:
- Reviewing the terms and conditions of the contractual arrangements of the receivables;
- Challenging management's assumptions regarding the level of provisioning against the ageing of receivables;
- Holding discussions with management as to the credit risk of the counterparty, and whether this information is consistent with management's impairment assessment position;
- Considering whether any other data exists which would constitute indicators of impairment including the impact of COVID-19; and
- Assessing the adequacy of the related disclosures in the financial report.
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, 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 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 has 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:
https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf
This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 18 to 25 of the directors' report for the year ended 30 June 2020.
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Swift Media Limited, for the year ended 30 June 2020, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
