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.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE

At 31 March 2019 there were 514,894,500 shares on issue (2018: 514,894,500).


Accounting policy: Earnings per share

calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of

ordinary shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for own shares held.

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.

At 31 March 2019 the Group had short term cash deposit of $2,357,499 placed with Westpac Bank of New

Zealand bearing interest of 2.65% p.a. and maturing on 12 June 2019.

Accounting policy: Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost and due to their short term nature they are not

discounted. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group by suppliers in the ordinary

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.

Standard & Poor’s credit rating of AA- rating.

$2,407,800. The Board regularly reviews its liquidity position by examining future cash requirements.

between the Company and Lateral Profiles Limited (100% owned subsidiary). The agreements set out a series of

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:

Cost of sales included a reversal of $66,657 of direct sales costs accrued at the previous year end 31 March 2017.

The Company successfully disputed the validity of the charges incurred. The accrual was subsequently reversed in

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.

15. GOING CONCERN

The Group reported a loss of $112,997 from continuing operations for the year ended 31 March 2019. As at 31

March 2019 the Group reported a net equity position of $2,348,590. The current assets of $2,451,458, which

include cash and cash equivalents of $2,407,800, provide the Group with sufficient resources to continue to cover

expenditure in relation to maintaining the listed shell company until such time that a suitable investment

opportunity for future development and growth is identified.

The Directors have concluded that the basis of preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis is

appropriate.

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.

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.
