"We are very pleased to deliver another set of record results,
with significant increases in both our sales and profit performance
for the year, demonstrating the strategic progress we have made to
harness our technology platform, increase customer engagement and
drive growth.
"We continue to provide a compelling online retail offer to our
global customer base with unrivalled value combined with excellent
choice across a number of attractive brands as well as a great user
experience across all platforms, particularly mobile, where the
majority of our sales are made. Our customer offer was further
enhanced this year through the growth of Ourpay, our proprietary
'buy-now, pay-later' solution, and the launch of Select, our
delivery subscription service, which have both been very popular
with users. We continue to explore the commercialisation
opportunities for Ourpay and anticipate launching the first test
with an external partner imminently.
"Through targeted investment, customer engagement has improved
with increases in average order values, basket size and order
frequency. At the same time, we continue to deliver the integrated
inventory solutions and new sales channels that our international
brand partners require, which are becoming all the more relevant
given the structural shift to online across the retail sector
generally.
"We aim to build on these foundations in the current year. Our
online platform has been strengthened and will deliver even greater
efficiency and lower unit costs moving forward.
"While it is early in the current year, and our peak trading
period lies ahead, trading to date has been in line with
expectations and the board expects that underlying EBITDA for the
year will be in line with market forecasts."

Chairman's statement
I am delighted to report that the group has followed up on the
strong results seen in FY17 and delivered another year of record
financial performance, while making further positive progress on
our strategic objectives.
Our strategic focus over the last three years has resulted in
significant improvements in the top and bottom lines. Over the past
12 months, the group delivered 9% growth in revenues to A$292
million, with an increase in gross profit of 13% to A$86 million
and underlying EBITDA rose 36% to A$11.8 million.
We strive to provide the best possible service and value to our
customers and have made further encouraging progress on this front,
as demonstrated by our improved customer metrics. In the last 12
months we have continued to attract new customers to our offer, and
those that transact with us continue to be extremely loyal and
engaged with our online retail proposition, with high levels of
repeat purchase activity.
Digital remains at the heart of our proposition and we have
focused on ensuring that our user experience is both easy and
convenient for customers, while fulfilling the needs of our brand
and retail partners. In support of this, our new technology
platform has really achieved a step change over the past year,
providing the flexibility and scalability that underpins all of our
strategic objectives.
While our technology platform supports our objectives, it is our
team of dedicated staff that deliver these key outcomes. As such, I
wish to record the board's appreciation of all our people who
strive tirelessly around the globe every day, with impressive
application and ingenuity, to deliver world class service to our
customers and brand partners.
In the current year we will continue to leverage our strengths,
particularly in the ANZ region, to expand the number of local and
international brand partners and further extend our full price
offering within Endless Aisle. As ever, the group's ability to
provide customised sales solutions to our brand partners is a key
aspect of how we support them.
We are confident that these initiatives will continue to support
ongoing profitable growth and we remain very positive about the
future prospects of the group.

Review of operations by the Chief Executive Officer
Over the past 12 months, MySale has delivered another record
year of growth and improved financial performance, with the group
well positioned to continue this positive trend into the new
financial year.
We continue to make excellent progress against our strategic
initiatives, with a focus on;
-- providing our customers with exceptional value, brands, choice and service;
-- excellence in delivering unique sales channels and
world-class inventory management to brand partners;
-- leveraging the significant strength and efficiency of our
proprietary technology platform and international logistics
network.
The group's active customer base increased by 9% in the period,
with revenue growing 9% to A$292.2 million (FY17: A$268.4 million).
Meanwhile, our customer engagement continued to grow underpinned by
our customer-focused digital innovations including Ourpay and
Select, which further enhanced our customer offer during the
year.
The group's strategic focus remained in growing gross profits
rather than revenue. Again, we made further progress here,
delivering an increase in gross profit of 13% to A$85.7 million
(FY17: A$76.0 million) and a 100 bp increase in gross margin to
29.3% (FY17: 28.3%).
This represents the group's third successive year of increasing
revenue, gross profit and gross margin.

ROW 16.5 3.8 23.5% +26% +67% +580 13.1 2.3 17.7%
------- ------- ----- ------- ------- ----- ------- ------- -----
Underlying EBITDA also increased for the third successive year,
growing a further 36% to A$11.8 million (FY17: A$8.7 million) as a
result of the improved trading together with careful management of
the cost base.
This positive performance represents another step forward on the
group's path of profitable growth, driven by our clear plan to grow
online activity;
-- securing more, higher lifetime-value, customers, via better
localised merchandising and pricing;
-- increasing the proportion of own-buy (1P) inventory while reducing delivery promotions; and
-- deploying our technology platform to improve customer engagement and increase efficiency.
This strategic plan, established in 2015, re-focused the
business on its core aims of providing exceptional value to
customers in branded products alongside exceptional inventory
management solutions to brand partners within the group's three
core territories.
During the period, and across all territories, the group
continued to dedicate its marketing resources and spend almost
exclusively into measurable, digital channels to attract and engage
both new and existing customers. The ongoing communication
programme has seen those loyal and engaged customers spend move
frequently (increase 4% to 3.5 times per year on average), and with
transaction KPI's such as average order value and basket size also
increasing 4% to A$91 and 3.4 items respectively.
Total underlying operating expenses increased 9% to A$73.9
million (FY17: A$67.4 million) reflecting the increased activity
and volumes of trade during the year. The group made a planned
investment into additional marketing with a 20% increase to 7.5% of
revenue to support long term growth in the customer base.
Moving forward, we anticipate that our technology platform will
be key to unlocking further operational efficiencies and reducing
costs.
In the new financial year, we are already seeing the benefits
that increased automation technology can bring, specifically in
terms of lower staff costs, and we anticipate that our enhanced
system will deliver additional future savings across buying,
merchandising, marketing and logistics.
Technology Development
During the year, the group maintained capital expenditure levels
with the previous year, as planned, in order to further develop its
proprietary technology capabilities. Following the release of a new
and enhanced version of the group's technology platform late in
FY17, this year's developments leveraged the capability now
available within the group. This included more flexible and
scalable functionality which supports our key objectives of
increasing online revenue and using efficiency gains to decrease
costs.
The group's marketplace-enabled platform allows full integration
across every one of the group's sales channels, with all of the
group's global portfolio of websites operating from a single
platform. Through this, the group now benefits from a single live
view of global inventory, which allows both 1P (owned) and 3P
(consignment or drop-ship) products to be sold by any of our
websites simultaneously.
Similarly, the platform can provide a single live view of each
customer and their individual journeys allowing us to better serve
their needs across all websites and mobile device apps. The mobile
buyer remains at the heart of our customer journey and this channel
accounted for 60% of orders received in the past year.
A key element of this technology development has been to enhance
the group's data capabilities through better collection and
analysis, improved machine learning and automation, which in turn
is driving improved customer experiences, increased revenue and
more efficiency. The platform allows for campaigns to be launched
faster and more efficiently as well as providing seamless user
interaction across all devices. These developments provide a step
change in capability which will support further growth across the
group in future.
In the prior year, the group launched its proprietary programme
Ourpay, a 'buy-now, pay-later' programme which allows customers
easy budgeting and seamless integration with their shopping
journey. This instalment payment option helps customers manage
their finances and has been shown to increase both the spend and
shopping frequency of those customers joining the programme. Since
its launch, this programme has proved popular with customers - more
than 130,000 have now used it successfully - with those customers
displaying higher average order values and buying frequency.
This payment solution was developed in-house in order to deliver
a more flexible, cost-efficient and integrated system, which is
better suited to the group's requirements than that provided by
third parties. The system automates all aspects of the programme
including credit scoring and monitoring; on which the group has
adopted a conservative policy. At the year end the receivables
balance associated with Ourpay was A$3.8 million and is anticipated
to grow as transaction volumes increase. The group is assessing
further opportunities to expand the reach of Ourpay and create
additional commercial benefits. The launch of a test period with
the first external retail partner is anticipated in October
2018.
Following the success of Ourpay, in FY17 the group launched
Select, our new subscription delivery service, which allows regular
customers to access reduced delivery costs in the period under
review. This has also been popular, with more than 30,000
subscriptions purchased by the end of the year.
These specific digital innovations are part of the group's
process of continual improvement in our customer experience,
enhancing customer loyalty while giving the group better insights
into our customers' needs and preferences.
Marketplace
The group's technology platform facilitates our intelligent
marketplace and allows direct integration with brands and retailers
providing them with access to all of our retail websites, whether
that be as part of supporting an inventory management or providing
a brand with a new retail channel.
During the period, we invested more time and funds into product
selection to ensure customers have the best possible choice
available. As a result, our marketplace platform has seen a huge
increase in the SKU available in its first full year; increasing
over four times to over 1.2 million. The group intends to further
extend this product range, allowing brands partners to integrate
directly or via third parties.
In addition, as we now have a live feed of global inventory to
all websites, the group has been able to extend the length of time
products are available and merchandised to customers. We call this
Endless Aisle which refers to this incredible shopping selection
our platform is now able to offer consumers.
Our marketplace operates with customers' mobile experience at
its heart and is also simple and intuitive for vendors to use which
allows us to efficiently support our brand partners and their sales
ambitions.
Increasingly brands are using marketplace solutions to support
their international sales as it provides local knowledge, existing
audiences, and a cost-effective launch in a new territory. Due to
the single global platform, our brand partners are able to offer
their products seamlessly to multiple territories rather than be
restricted to a single territory as is common with other
platforms.
Brands and Strategic Partnerships
Following the notable strategic partnerships launched in FY17 in
the period under review the group increased the number of brand
partners listing on the marketplace platform to 2,000, which has
driven the substantial increase in the number of SKU's available to
customers.
The majority of the increased product selection has come from
relationships with 3P suppliers, on which the group does not take
any inventory risk as the terms of business are on a consignment or
dropship basis. However, we have also successfully increased the
proportion of 1P product on our sales channels as this supports
product selection, brand curation and overall service proposition
for customers. This reached 23% of sales during the period and the
group expects that this proportion will continue to increase again
in FY19, with a target to reach 25-30% of the sales mix in the
medium-term.
Whilst the vast majority of goods sold are still done so on a
consignment or drop-ship basis, this 1P strategy supports deeper
relationships with brand partners, slightly higher gross margins
and provides our customers with a wider product selection and
faster delivery times. The group's 1P activity is focused on
staple, high quality branded goods where the data supports strong
engagement with our customers. This element of our consumer offer
is continually improving as it has evolved from a focus on
off-price inventory to a more customer-led, data-driven and planned
retail solution with more continuity lines.
Our partnerships with flagship retail brands continue to provide
a strong endorsement of the group's capabilities in supporting
brands in establishing new sales channels as well as in inventory
management. The retail landscape is undergoing continued structural
change and large brands increasingly recognise the benefits that
more integrated inventory partnerships can bring to their
operations.
The group's well established international network, flexible and
scalable technology platform and resources in key territories make
it an ideal partner for international brands and retailers. Our
platform allows us to customise our integration with any brand,
thus delivering a tailored solution to their requirements.
Operations
During the year, the group's highly efficient platform processed
record numbers of transactions, underlining the efficient processes
and systems that the group has in place to support brands and serve
customers. On average, over the past 12 months more than 40,000 new
products were launched daily and over 11 million units were shipped
in the year. Positively, customer returns remain at industry
leading levels of just 5% overall.
The material progress in establishing the marketplace platform
has allowed the group to unlock further operational efficiencies in
the period. For example, through increased automation, certain
internal functions have been downsized and in some instances
outsourced, leaving the group as a leaner and more focused
organisation. Having bedded in the new platform throughout the
business during FY18 a comprehensive cost reduction programme
commenced before the period end, the benefits of which will
steadily increase across the FY19 financial year.
Australia & New Zealand (ANZ)
The group's largest operating segment had another year of
increased revenues, gross profit and customer volumes. Gross profit
increased by 11% to A$72.9 million (FY17: A$65.7 million) while
revenue grew 9% to A$242.4 million (FY17: A$221.5 million). Gross
Margin rose to 30.1% (FY17: 29.7%).
Our localised offer and strong merchandising continued to
resonate with our customer base in the period, with a 4%
improvement in our main customer KPIs of average order value,
frequency and basket size.
The scale of our operations in this region, combined with our
strong position in the online retail landscape, represent
significant strengths and opportunities the group. The group plans
to focus on developing these further in the new financial year,
actively looking to expand the breadth and depth of our online and
sales channels in this region, to fully leverage our customer base,
physical resource, buying power and expertise. These strengths will
be deployed to the benefit of both domestic and international
brands using our off-price retail heritage and increasingly the
full-price selection our customers seek from us.
The group's retail marketplace has its largest presence in ANZ
and is an opportunity to significantly increase the group's
addressable market in the region. The group is one of the
pre-eminent online retailers in ANZ and has further attractive
growth possibilities due to both the lower levels of internet
penetration, in comparison to territories such as the UK and the
USA, and this region's relative lack of off-price retailers.
In ANZ the group has a small network of physical outlets, part
of our offline activities, which is used both to clear the group's
own surplus inventory and returns via that offline channel. It's
planned that the number of outlets will reduce in FY19 to focus
this activity into fewer, more profitable, sites.
In total the outlet and wholesale, which constitute our offline
activities represented c 12% of revenue (FY17: 11%). The wholesale
syndication activity has been very productive over the last two
financial periods as it supported the strategic initiatives to
build partnerships, increase the own-buy (1P) element of the sales
mix and prove the group's marketplace model to partners. Having
achieved these aims the group plans to reduce the weighting of
wholesale syndication activity which shall bring a number of its
own benefits namely; cost efficiency gains and accretion in the
underlying EBITDA margin together with a reduction in trade
receivable balances with the associated increase in cash
inflows.
South-East Asia
During the period South-East Asia saw gross profit grow 10% to
A$8.9 million (FY17: A$8.1 million) as margin improvement was
prioritised over revenue growth. Gross Margin increased by 280 bps
to 26.7% following a revised pricing policy, while revenue remained
flat at A$33.4 million (FY17: A$33.8 million). The continued growth
in profitability has been driven by the group's localisation plan
which ensures that merchandising, pricing, payment and shipping
solutions are all tailored to the needs of local consumers.
In this region the strategy has been to grow the active customer
base, so acquisition marketing is a priority to build gross
profitability and leverage this increasing scale by using resources
more efficiently and achieving lower shipping rates. With a more
profitable local model now established and an enviable position
within the South-East Asian e-commerce market, the region is an
important element of the group's long-term profitable growth.
In the medium to long term this region is anticipated to be
increasingly significant as the group grows its customer base and
demand for branded products, particularly European and USA brands,
continues to increase. With a substantial addressable population,
increasing disposable income, lack of off-price competition and
high mobile penetration this region is well served by the group's
strong value, branded sales offer and exceptional mobile commerce
capability.
Rest of World
This territory comprises the group's operations within the UK,
which trades predominately under the Cocosa brand and which
provides customers with compelling value in premium branded
products.
The UK had another good year, as gross profit, the group's
priority, increased by 65% to A$3.8 million (FY17: A$2.3 million),
revenue increased by 26% to A$16.5 million (FY17: A$13.1 million)
and gross margins improved. This growth was underpinned by
increased numbers of active customers which is a key objective for
the group in newer territories.
These are encouraging results and position the business for
further growth in FY19 and beyond. While this region currently
represents a relatively small part of the group's overall
activities, we operates in the UK's large and well developed online
marketplace where engaged and active consumers can be acquired
successfully and cost effectively.
The group has a material presence in the UK as it is an
important centre for the group's product sourcing team for both UK
and European brands. Brands from these territories, along with USA,
have grown their weighting within group revenues over the past few
years and now account for over half of our worldwide revenue.
Outlook
The group had an excellent year to 30 June 2018, with
significant growth in profitability and good progress against our
strategic goals, which we aim to build upon in the current
year.
In the new financial year, we plan to focus on leveraging new
opportunities in ANZ region, which remains our largest operating
territory and has the most powerful marketing, logistics and
staffing resources of the group. These will be deployed to the
benefit of both domestic and international brands using our
off-price retail heritage and the full-price selection that our
customers increasingly seek from us.
At the same time we plan to reduce our offline activities in the
current year, given significant progress against our strategic aims
of increasing the own-buy element of our sales mix and proving our
marketplace model to partners. As a result, we expect revenues to
be broadly level year on year, with growth in core online revenues
offsetting this planned reduction in offline. We anticipate,
however, that this, along with the full deployment of our
technology platform, will bring significant cost efficiency gains
and accretion in the underlying EBITDA margin.
While it is early in the current year, and our peak trading
period lies ahead, trading to date has been in line with
expectations and the board expects that underlying EBITDA for the
year will be in line with market forecasts with an overall heavier
second half weighting.

Financial review by the Chief Financial Officer
Revenue and Gross Profit
For the year ended 30 June 2018 group revenue increased by 9% to
A$292.2 million (FY17: A$268.3 million) and gross profit increased
faster, by 13%, to reach A$85.7 million (FY17: A$76.0 million).
This improved performance came as a direct result of the strategic
plan implemented by the group in 2015.
Operating Expenses
The increase in activity and gross profit resulted in underlying
operating expenses of A$73.9 million (FY17: A$67.4 million) in the
year. During the year the group increased staff resources in a
number of operational departments to support further growth and
ensure the group delivers outstanding service to its customers.
Profit/Loss before Tax
The underlying profit before tax for the year increased 50%
A$4.9 million (FY17: A$3.3 million) and the reported loss before
tax for the period is A$1.7 million (FY17: A$1.5 million). This
reported loss is after the inclusion of a number of one-off and
non-cash items which are shown in more detail below and in note 6
to the financial statements in order to provide greater insight as
to the underlying profitability of the group.
Profit/Loss after Tax and earnings per share
The underlying profit after tax for the year increased 70% to is
A$6.6 million (FY17: A$3.9 million) and the reported loss after tax
for the period is $A0.1 million (FY17: A$1.0 million). This
reported loss is after the inclusion of a number of one-off and
non-cash items which are shown in more detail below and in note 6
to the financial statements in order to provide greater insight as
to the underlying profitability of the group.
Note 27 shows the detailed calculations of basic earnings per
share for the financial year which increased by 70% to 4.3 cents
per share (FY16: 2.5 cents) on an underlying basis and was 0.03
cents loss (FY17: 0.1 cents loss) on a reported basis.
Taxation
The group has recorded a tax benefit of A$1.6 million for the
year (FY17: A$0.6 million) which diverges from the group's long
term guidance of an effective tax rate of approximately 30%. This
divergence arises due to various tax adjustments and timing
differences. Full details are provided in note 9 to the financial
statements. The group has total tax losses of A$32.4 million (FY17:
A$30 million) with the majority located in Australia. The entire
tax loss has been recognised with the provision of a deferred tax
asset of A$12.1 million (FY17: A$10.5 million).
Balance Sheet, Cash and Working Capital
The group's closing cash balance was A$6.8 million (FY17: A$19.0
million) and the net debt balance was A$6.2 million (FY17: A$8.9
million), well within the group's banking facilities.
The closing cash balance for the year, which is lower than
anticipated, reflects a number of significant, temporary working
capital outflows which occurred towards the end of the financial
year, which will reverse in the current financial period, together
with one-off expenditure associated with a prospective acquisition
transaction, further details of which are shown below. The working
capital impact is predominantly seen by the increase in trade
receivables to A$29.9 million (FY17: A$17.0 million) which will
reverse in FY19 and thus net cash balances shall increase and are
expected to be positive at the end of the current year.
The group's strategic plan allows for selective investment into
inventory balances and other working capital deployments to ensure
the group is able to take advantage of commercially beneficial
purchasing opportunities. A number of purchasing opportunities
arose towards the end of the financial year and inventory was
acquired and part re-sold, on a wholesale basis.
In the past two financial years the trade receivables balance
has built up as the group's offline activities, particularly
wholesale syndication, increased. However, now that key objectives,
of building partner relationships and proving the marketplace
capability, have been achieved, the forward strategy is to reduce
that offline wholesale activity which shall deliver a steady
reduction in trade receivables and in turn steady increase in cash
inflows.
Capital expenditure increased, as planned, as the group invested
principally in the development of its proprietary technology
platform together with expenditure related to property and
equipment upgrades. Total capital expenditure was A$9.1 million
(FY17: A$8.5 million).
Banking Facilities
The group's cash balances are held principally with HSBC with
whom the group currently has trade finance multi option debt
facilities of A$28.1 million. All facilities are renewed on an
annual basis.
Underlying Basis
As noted above the group manages its operations by looking at
the underlying EBITDA which excludes the impact of a number of
one-off and non-cash items of a non-trading nature as this, in the
Board's opinion, provides a more representative measure of the
group's performance. A reconciliation between reported profit
before tax and underlying EBITDA is included at note 6 to the
financial statements and outlined below.
A$ million FY18 FY17
Reported EBITDA 5.1 3.8
Share based payments 0.9 1.1
Discontinued activities 0.2 0.3
One-off costs 3.6 2.4
Unrealised foreign
exchange loss 2.0 1.0
6.7 4.8
Underlying EBITDA 11.8 8.7
Depreciation & Amortisation 6.6 5.3
Net interest expense 0.3 0.1
Underlying profit before
tax 4.9 3.3
----- -----
Included within one-off items are items of a non-trading,
non-recurring nature such as acquisition expenses, reorganisation
costs, charges arising from system migration and other costs. The
principle items in the year under review include A$1.4 million of
costs associated with the acquisition and subsequent reorganisation
of Identity Direct as previously announced and A$2.0 million of
costs associated with potential acquisition transactions which did
not conclude.
Whilst it is disappointing to incur costs on projects which do
not conclude the group has identified key strategic and commercial
benefits that can be derived from increasing the scale of the
business and continues to evaluate acquisition opportunities.
Key Performance Indicators
The group manages its operations through the use of a number of
key performance indicators (KPI's) such as revenue, revenue growth,
gross margin percentage, average order value (AOV), frequency of
customer purchase, items in customer basket, average revenue per
active customer (RPAC), and underlying EBITDA.

MySale Group Plc
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2018
Note 1. General information
MySale Group Plc is a group consisting of MySale Group Plc (the 'company'
or 'parent entity') and its subsidiaries (the 'group'). The financial statements
of the group, in line with the location of the majority of the group's operations
and customers, are presented in Australian dollars and generally rounded
to the nearest thousand dollars.
The principal business of the group is the operating of online shopping
outlets for consumer goods like ladies, men and children's fashion clothing,
accessories, beauty and homeware items.
MySale Group Plc is a public company, limited by shares, listed on the AIM
(Alternate Investment Market), a sub-market of the London Stock Exchange.
The company is incorporated and registered under the Companies (Jersey)
Law 1991. The company is domiciled in Australia.
The registered office of the company is 3(rd) Floor, Ogier House, The Esplanade,
44 Esplanade Street. Helier, JE4 9WG, Jersey and principal place of business
is at 3/120 Old Pittwater Road, Brookvale, NSW 2100, Australia.
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a
resolution of directors, on 8 October 2018. The directors have the power
to amend and reissue the financial statements.
Note 2. Significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
This condensed consolidated financial information for the year ended 30
June 2018 has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement
criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the
European Union ("Adopted IFRSs"), IFRS IC Interpretations and the Companies
(Jersey) Law 1991.
The financial information contained in this preliminary announcement for
the years ended 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017 does not comprise the group's
statutory financial statements within the meaning of Companies (Jersey)
Law 1991. Statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2018 will be filed
with the Jersey Companies Registry in due course. The auditors' report on
the statutory accounts for each of the years ended 30 June 2018 and 30 June
2017 is unqualified, does not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis
and does not contain any statement under any matters that are required to
be reported by exception under Companies (Jersey) Law 1991.
Going concern
The directors have reviewed the group's forecast and projections, including
assumptions concerning capital expenditure and expenditure commitments and
their impact on cash flows, and have a reasonable expectation that the group
has adequate financial resources to continue its operations for the foreseeable
future. For this reason they have continued to adopt the going concern basis
in preparing the financial statements.
In preparing the preliminary announcement, the directors have also made
reasonable and prudent judgements and estimates and prepared the preliminary
announcement on the going concern basis. The preliminary announcement and
strategic report contained herein give a true and fair view of the assets,
liabilities, financial position and profit and loss of the group.
Changes to accounting standards
There have been no changes to accounting standards during the year which
have had or are expected to have any significant impact on the group.
Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in
the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements
and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities,
revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions
on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations
of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the
related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have
a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next
financial year are discussed below.
Provision for obsolete and slow-moving inventories
The provision for obsolete and slow-moving inventories assessment requires
a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of the provision is assessed
by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories
and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence.
Estimation of useful lives of assets
The group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation
and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite
life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a
result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and
amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously
estimated or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been
abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.
Goodwill
The group tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances
indicate impairment, whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance
with the accounting policy stated in note 2. 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. No impairment charge was required during the financial
year ended 30 June 2018 (2017: A$nil).
Impairment of non-financial assets
The group assesses impairment of non-financial assets at each reporting
date by evaluating conditions specific to the group and to the particular
asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the
recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value
less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a
number of key estimates and assumptions.
Income tax
The group is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates.
Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income
tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the
ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is
uncertain. The group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues
based on the group's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final
tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such
differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period
in which such determination is made.
Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences
only if the group considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will
be available to utilise those temporary differences and tax losses.
Note 4. Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
The group's operating segments are determined based on the internal reports
that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (being the Chief Operating
Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the
allocation of resources.
The CODM reviews revenue and gross profit by reportable segments, being
geographical regions. The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting
to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in these financial statements.
The group operates separate websites in each country that it sells goods
in. Revenue from external customers is attributed to each country based
on the activity on that country's website. Similar types of goods are sold
in all segments. The group's operations are unaffected by seasonality.
Intersegment transactions
Intersegment transactions were made at market rates and are eliminated on
consolidation.
Segment assets and liabilities
Assets and liabilities are managed on a group basis. The CODM does not regularly
review any asset or liability information by segment and, accordingly there
is no separate segment information. Refer to the balance sheet for group
assets and liabilities.
Major customers
During the year ended 30 June 2018 there were no major customers (2017:
none). A customer is considered major if its revenues are 10% or more of
the group's revenue.

Note 28. Share-based payments
The company has two employee share plans; (1) the Executive Incentive Plan
('EIP') and (2) the Loan Share Plan ('LSP'). In accordance with the terms
of each plan 100% of the ordinary shares will vest three years from grant
date subject to the achievement of the Underlying Earnings Before Interest,
Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation ('EBITDA') included in the company's
internal forecasts set by the Board in the year of the grant.
In July 2015, 3,000,000 options over the ordinary share capital of the company
were granted to the Chairman with an exercise price of GBP0.53. 1,000,000
options will vest when the company's share price reaches GBP1.50, a further
1,500,000 shall vest when the company's share price reaches GBP2.26 and
a further 500,000 shall vest when the company's share price reaches GBP2.75.
The options expire five years after the grant date. Other than the vesting
conditions, all other terms are the same as the EIP. The fair value of the
accounting expense in relation to these options are recognised over the
vesting period.
Set out below are summaries of share and options granted under the plans
for directors and employees:
