NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reporting entity and statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Southern Charter Financial Group Limited
and, until disposal on 31 August 2017, its subsidiary Lateral Profiles Limited (the “Group”). References to “SCFG”
are used to refer to the Group and Southern Charter Financial Group Limited (the “Company”).
Southern Charter Financial Group Limited is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in New
Zealand. It is registered under the Companies Act 1993. SCFG is listed on the NZX Alternative Market (“NZAX”).
SCFG is a FMC reporting entity under Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and its financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1993, The Financial Reporting Act 2013
and the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
The registered office and principal place of business are disclosed in the directory to the annual report.
The principal activity of the Group until 31 August 2017 was as a developer and distributer of premium digital
products and services that enable commercialisation of the mobile and fixed web using various payment
methods. Subsequent to 31 August 2017 SCFG became a “listed shell” to enable future acquisition of a suitable
operating business. (note 12)
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New
Zealand (NZ GAAP). The company is a for-profit entity for the purposes of complying with NZ GAAP. The financial
statements comply with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) as
appropriate for for-profit entities. For the purposes of complying with NZ GAAP, the Company applies Tier 1 for-
profit accounting standards.
The information is presented in New Zealand dollars which is the Company’s functional currency and the Group’s
presentation currency and are rounded to the nearest dollar.
Measurement base
The accounting principles adopted are those recognised as appropriate for the measurement and reporting of
financial performance and financial position on the historical cost basis. The accrual basis of accounting has been
used unless otherwise stated and the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis (note
15).
Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with NZ IFRS requires management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, income and expenses. Where material, information on significant assumptions and estimates is
provided in the relevant accounting policy or will be provided in the relevant note.
Page 9 Southern Charter Financial Group Limited Annual Report 2019
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates
and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised
in the year in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Judgements
Judgement was applied in the determination that the disposal of Lateral Profiles Limited during 2018, was a
transaction with the Company’s shareholders and presented in the statement of changes in equity. (note 12)
There were no significant judgements in 2019.
Specific accounting policies
The following specific accounting policies, which materially affect the measurement of financial performance and
financial position, have been applied.
a) Basis of consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the Company and all entities over which
the Company has the power to control the financial reporting and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from
its activities (defined as “subsidiaries”). The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated
financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
The consolidated financial statements include the Company’s subsidiary, Lateral Profiles Limited, until disposal on
31 August 2017.
b) Goods and services tax
All amounts are shown exclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST), except for receivables and payables that are
stated inclusive of GST.
c) Adoption of new and revised standards
Changes in accounting policies
NZ IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and NZ IFRS 15 “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers” became effective
and were adopted by the Group. The new accounting standards adopted during the current year did not have a
material impact on the financial statements of the Group. NZ IFRS 15 was adopted in the current period and did
not require retrospective adjustments as the Company is not trading with customers.
New NZ IFRS Standards and Interpretations Issued but not yet adopted.
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, certain new standards and interpretations to existing
standards have been published but not yet effective, and have not been adopted early by the Group.
Management anticipates that all pronouncements will be adopted in the first accounting period beginning on or
after the effective date of the new standard. Information on new standards, amendments and interpretations
that are expected to be relevant to the Group financial statements is provided on the following page.
Page 10 Southern Charter Financial Group Limited Annual Report 2019
NZ IFRS 16 - Leases, became effective for early adoption or is effective for periods beginning on or after 1
January 2019. The impact of adopting this standard is expected to be minimal as the Group does not have
any leases. The standard will be adopted at the appropriate date required.
2. ADMINISTRATION EXPENSES BY NATURE
The continuing operating expenses generally relate to the cost associated with being a listed entity. Transaction
costs of $43,145 related to the change of the majority shareholder are included in the legal fees, NZX and registry
expenses for the year. These transaction costs have been reimbursed by the major shareholder (note 11).

Numerical reconciliation of income tax expense to prima facie tax payable
Deferred tax asset
Group Losses to carry forward as at 31 March 2019 are $13,521 (2018: $146,852). As a result of the change in
the majority shareholder during the year, the tax losses accumulated prior to the shareholding change have been
forfeited.
* The deferred tax asset has not been recognized in the Statement of Financial Position as it is currently not
probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and carry-
forward of unused tax losses can be utilised. Deferred tax asset will only be recognised when the Company
acquires or commences business activities that provide a taxable profit.
Accounting policy: Taxation
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income
adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributed to temporary differences between the tax
base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the
taxation authorities based on the current period’s taxable income. The tax rates and laws used to compute the
amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax
base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax
assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused
tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible
temporary differences, and carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent
that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred
income tax asset to be utilised. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are
expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws)
that have been enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date.

4. SHARE CAPITAL
Share Capital
All ordinary shares have been fully paid and have equal voting and dividend rights. The shares have no par value.
Lateral Profiles was previously the reporting entity for these Group financial statements as a result of an earlier
reserve acquisition transaction in 2014. On disposal of Lateral Profiles by the Group the impact of the prior
reverse acquisition share capital is eliminated.
The Group’s capital is managed with the objectives of maintaining adequate working capital so that all obligations
can be met on time. All components of equity are regarded as “capital”. The company is not subject to any
externally imposed capital requirements.
Accounting policy: Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Direct costs of issuing shares are deducted from the proceeds of the
issue.

weighted average number of ordinary shareholders outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of
all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible notes.

course of business prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group become
obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are
unsecured and are usually paid within normal business trading terms.

transactions. The shareholders approved the transactions at the special meeting held on 7 August 2017. The
transactions were subsequently completed on 31 August 2017.
The transactions in summary involved:
GTNZ acquired a 90% shareholding in Southern Charter Financial Group Limited by subscribing for
463,405,050 new shares for consideration of NZ$3.28 million.
The Company disposed of its shareholdings in Lateral Profiles by making an in specie distribution to
existing shareholders of the Company prior to the subscription by GTNZ.
Prior to completion of the distribution to the shareholders, an internal restructuring of the Group’s
assets and liabilities was completed. Lateral Profiles Limited acquired all of the assets and intellectual
property used in the operation of the Group’s business and assumed all liabilities of the Company
immediately prior to completion of the transaction on 31 August 2017. As part of transfer of the net
liabilities a further $0.5m of cash was distributed to Lateral Profiles Limited.
As Lateral Profiles was the sole business operation of the Group, the Directors determined that the appropriate
accounting treatment of the Lateral Profiles business and all other assets and labilities, was to classify it as
discontinued operations.
The results of the discontinued operations were:

the current year, resulting in a net gain in total cost of sales.

The distribution of net liabilities on disposal of discontinued operations was determined as follows:
The cash payment made comprises of $500,000 less amounts utilized to repay liabilities prior to the settlement
date on 31 August 2017.
Accounting policy: Discontinued operations and assets held for sale
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business, the operations and cash flows of which can be
clearly distinguished from the rest of the Group and which:
- represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or
- is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of
operations; or
- is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to re-sale.
Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the
criteria to be classified as held-for-sale.
When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of financial performance
and statement of comprehensive income is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start
of the comparative year.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF SOUTHERN CHARTER FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Southern Charter Financial Group Limited
(“the Company”) and its subsidiary (together, “the Group”), which comprise the consolidated
statement of financial position as at 31 March 2019, and the consolidated statement of profit or
loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and
consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated
financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2019, and its consolidated
financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with
New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“NZ IFRS”).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand)
(“ISAs (NZ)”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We
are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 (Revised)
Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance
Standards Board, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion.
Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, the Company or
its subsidiary.
Key Audit Matters
We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the Annual Report, which includes information other than the
consolidated financial statements and auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we
do not express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read
the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements 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.

Page 22 Southern Charter Financial Group Limited Annual Report 2019
Directors’ Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation and fair presentation of
the consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS, and for such internal control as
the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements
that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible on behalf of the
Group for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,
matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the
directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements as a whole are 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 ISAs (NZ) will always
detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence
the decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at
the External Reporting Board’s website at: https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-
practitioners/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1/
This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Who we Report to
This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our audit work has been
undertaken so that we might state those matters which we are required to state to them in an
auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept
or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company’s shareholders, as a
body, for our audit work, for this report or for the opinions we have formed.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Blair Stanley.
