PaySauce releases FY2021 Annual  
Report  

Lower Hutt, New Zealand - 27 May 2021  

 

Employment solutions fintech PaySauce (NXZ:PYS) is proud to release its FY2021 Annual  

Report.   

 

PaySauce CEO Asantha Wijeyeratne said the FY2021 report presents PaySauce as a  

more sophisticated and streamlined business. “This year we’ve taken major steps into  

the next phase of our growth and identity. The addition of Rosters and the  

groundbreaking launch of BNZ PayNow are a clear signal that we’re ready to become a  

market-leading fintech, while our numbers clearly demonstrate our improved  

efficiency.”  

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS  

 

●106% increase in Total Customer LTV  

●36% increase in Active Customers   

●59% increase in Revenue from Processing Fees  

●44% increase in Recurring Revenue  

●Launched Rosters and BNZ PayNow  

 

 

Chief Executive Asantha Wijeyeratne reflects on the year:  

 

“Internally, we’re clearer and more purposeful than ever, while externally we’ve grown  

both our product and our presence in the market. Rosters and BNZ PayNow take us  

well beyond the scope of a traditional payroll provider, earning our place in New  

Zealand’s leading-edge fintech sector. With the introduction of innovations like earned  

wage access, we’re expanding not only our own product, but also the range of options  

available to New Zealanders. So while we’re more efficient and established than ever,  

we remain bold, ambitious and inventive.”  

 

  


FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS  

 

 

Total recurring revenue growth remained strong, with increased customer numbers  

and an increase in the average processing fees per customer more than compensating  

for the decline in interest income. With funds held on behalf of customers increasing in  

line with customer growth, the drop in interest income was entirely attributable to the  

fall in interest rates over the period.  

 

 

Gross margin also increased to 68% for the year ended 31 March 2021, up from 62% for  

the year ended 31 March 2020. This improvement is a result of increased efficiency  

gains as we continue to improve our systems and processes, continuing the evolution  

from start up to scale up.

working on our transition from payroll app to fintech, and as always, we’ll leverage our  

vital partnerships, both long-standing and new. And of course, we’ll be vigorously  

pursuing opportunities to accelerate our growth in new and existing markets.”

Annual Report 2021


Chair’s Letter

Dear fellow shareholders,

2021 was my second year as Chair of PaySauce, and still

the team continues to exceed my expectations. This year

alone, the PayForce has launched a major new product,

implemented an updated pricing structure, progressed

groundbreaking partnerships with two of the nation’s

most prominent companies, achieved world-class

customer satisfaction scores, and been the first to bring

earned wage access into New Zealand. It’s a privilege to

oversee all of these activities and accomplishments, and

I want to thank Asantha and his phenomenal team for

all their efforts.

At a governance level, we’ve benefited from the input of

our newest members, Jacqueline Cheyne and Michael

O’Donnell, who have provided essential guidance in

many of our most important discussions. I’m proud

to say that our board, senior executives and the entire

team continue to form a smart and cohesive collective,

all working towards delivering on our shared goals.

We’ve seen solid growth in our revenue, despite the

removal of the IRD subsidy and a sharp decline in

interest rates - we were prepared for these changes

and took measures to absorb them, working as always

towards our goal of becoming cash-flow positive. We’ve

continued to enjoy elevated brand recognition and

visibility as a result of our vital partnership projects. BNZ

PayNow and Rosters in particular are signals to the

market that we’re serious about the fundamental shift

from just another payroll app to a bonafide fintech.

I hope that you’ll look back over the year with the same

pride and pleasure that I feel. Thank you for choosing to

put your trust in us, and know that all our achievements

are also yours.

Sincerely,

Nicholas Lewis

Chair

CEO’s Letter

Dear shareholders,

FY2021 was the year to show our true colours. If 2020

was about adaptability, 2021 was about identity - what

our purpose is, where our priorities lie, who our partners

and our people are. These are questions we’ve sought to

answer definitively, both to the market and each other.

While the global situation remains in flux with the

promise of vaccinations and a new freedom of

movement, we’ve kept our focus on the things that we

can control. We continue to build a more productive

and sophisticated business, with our improved efficiency

and decisiveness reflected in our annual recurring

revenue. We’ve done the work to formalise our official

values and mission statement, set clear and ambitious

goals at all levels of the business, and unite our team

around a common purpose.

This year, we’ve been able to finally bring some dormant

dreams to life. After months of development and

careful discussion and planning, we were incredibly

proud to unveil Rosters. This is a highly sought-after

tool with powerful utility for existing customers and a

major draw for new customers. Crucially, Rosters isn’t

a supplementary feature within payroll, but an entirely

distinct product integrated with payroll, connecting two

essential employment functions. The addition of Rosters

marks a significant change in how both our own people

and the wider market understand our business, not just

as an app but as a centralised multi-service platform,

not just as payroll, but a fintech.

This message was also supported by the launch of

BNZ PayNow. This epitomises what we aim to do as

a company: the innovative use of technology to fill a

human need. The public, media and industry response

to this concept has been overwhelming, boosted by

our mounting national awareness around financial

responsibility and BNZ’s involvement as one of New

Zealand’s major banking players. I believe that earned

wage access has the potential to change lives and

create better financial outcomes for Kiwis, and we all

owe BNZ a debt of gratitude for their backing.

On that note, I’ll close with the warmest of thanks

to all our partners, our customers and to you, our

shareholders, for helping us turn our big ideas into real-

life innovations.

Yours,

Asantha Wijeyeratne

CEO and Co-Founder

Annual Report 2021


Our Values

Our Mission

PaySauce is a straight-up innovator

of fresh solutions for people at work.

Do good and be

honest

We act ethically and never

knowingly cause harm. We lend a

hand and we give a dang. We’re

honest, fair and we prioritise people.

We strive for transparency - we’re

up-front about what we do. We’ve

earned trust and confidence

because we really know our stuff,

but at the same time we hold

ourselves accountable, own our

mistakes and then learn from them.

Respect and include

We make technology but our

biggest focus is on people. We

value everyone’s ideas and input

and we treat everyone right. We

think difference and variety are

pretty cool, and we won’t stand

for bullying, discrimination or

narrow-mindedness. We listen to

our partners, customers, team and

stakeholders and we make sure our

decisions drive the outcomes that

they need.

Fun and fresh

We’re a wee bit quirky and we go

our own way. We keep each other

humble and we call it like we see

it. We’re always professional, but

we’re down-to-earth and we’re good

company. We’re serious about what

we do - but we don’t take ourselves

too seriously.

Simple and smart

We work really hard to make tricky

stuff easy, and we proactively

solve real problems. We’re always

improving and innovating, and we’re

never “finished” - we can always do

more and get better. We’re curious,

driven and dedicated, looking for

the simplest answers to the trickiest

questions. We love to be pioneering

and bold, but we never over-

complicate anything or fix what’s

not broken.

Resourceful and

results-oriented

We’re ambitious but grounded,

and our decisions are shrewd and

data-driven. We’re motivated by

success and we’re always working

to create the returns to fuel a

healthy, sustainable business. We

strategically prioritise tasks and

tactics in order to regularly deliver

outcomes, because we know

that what gets produced is more

important than what gets planned.

We’re adaptive, agile and unafraid to

take a calculated risk, while always

arming ourselves with the best

information available.

Annual Report 2021


Year In Review

Company

We expanded our value proposition with the addition

of Rosters, a change that brings us significantly closer to

our aim of becoming the ultimate solution for people at

work. We’ve adjusted our 3 payroll pricing subscriptions

to better serve customer needs, replacing Starter with

Simple, an entry-level product to provide an easy first

step for customers new to cloud systems, and improving

the feature set within our Standard and Premium

packages to clarify the ascending value of each. Desktop

solutions are being retired at a more rapid rate with

further adjustments to payday filing legislation, and

Simple helps to ease the transition from older desktop

software and manual spreadsheets and wagebooks.

We’ve also added timesheets to our Standard plan to

reflect the needs of our customers in agri, construction

and hospitality, and given our Premium customers

access to Rosters. Our adjusted structure is not only

more logical, it also encourages employers to upgrade as

they gain confidence and as their businesses grow and

develop.

Community

BNZ PayNow grabbed headlines, both as a much-

needed initiative for social good and as the first

instance of earned wage access in New Zealand, once

again cementing our status as a true innovator. Plus,

to the best of our knowledge, we’re the only service

worldwide that provides earned wage access as a native

component of a payroll solution, and not an additional

plugin. This tool circumvents the need for payday

lending, a cause of our escalating national private debt

levels.

We also ran our own fundraiser for Breast Cancer

Awareness, continued to expand our list of donee

charities in Donations and used our “featured” function

to spotlight essential causes such as Movember and

Daffodil Day. And as ever, we continue to provide free

payroll services to charities and non profits, with over 70

organizations receiving support this way.

Customers

When the nation’s businesses thrive, so do we. We’ve

been grateful to see the resilience and tenacity in the

small business sector, with confidence and financial

performance climbing as the country managed a

pandemic-free year in the wake of our first nationwide

lockdown. We’ve seen a significant number of customers

return to payroll processing through PaySauce after

a break, a strong indication of customer loyalty and

retention.

We’re also excited to see our customer base continue

to broaden and diversify. We’ve welcomed a number of

large employers in the 80+ staff category, and we’ve also

seen greater diversity in the industries they operate in.

Rural regions continue to be our stronghold, but there’s

an increasing balance between farming businesses

and other rural employers. This reflects the work we’ve

done to bolster and future-proof our product, both in

response speed and feature range.

Systems upgrades across the last 12 months have helped

us to more effectively collect and collate customer

feedback to help shape our development schedule, and

we’ve also gathered a small pool of trusted customers

to assist with testing and feedback prior to release.

Our most recent NPS returned a score of 76, a huge

testament to the always exceptional work of our support

team.

Crew

We’ve strengthened our sales capability in the mainland,

bringing a permanent PaySauce presence to Dunedin.

We also welcomed 3 interns for the summer via

Summer of Tech, providing leadership and coaching

opportunities for our senior development team and

giving our production capacity a brief but powerful

boost. These summer internships have become a crucial

resource for our development efforts, while giving us

a chance to support a fellow Wellington business and

driving progress on project based dev work like Rosters.

We created efficiency gains by reassigning business

functions into the departments best equipped to

handle them, and introduced specific objectives for

each team member for the first time. We’re encouraging

our people to think in terms of their career progression,

upskilling and creating opportunities, so that we grow

collectively and individually.

Year In Preview

We’re determined to become even more efficient and

effective, identifying and eliminating risks ahead of time

and achieving more consistent rhythms and measurable

outcomes for our regular operational activities. In the

public eye, we’ll continue to stake out our distinctive

position as the platform for people at work and see this

position acknowledged by our customers, partners and

the industry at large, joining the ranks of New Zealand’s

smartest fintechs.

Internally, we’ll sustain a work environment that keeps

our team satisfied and driven, making us an in-demand

employer. We’ll work closely with our trusted customers

to test new products and evaluate ideas, resulting

in a development schedule closely aligned with real

customer needs.

Each of these initiatives will strengthen and streamline

our business, ultimately leading us to the overarching

outcome of achieving cash flow positivity.

Annual Report 2021


The above categories are

explained below:

Processing Fees

This category represents the revenue generated from

customers who are using the PaySauce software, paying

processing fees each pay run, based on a monthly

subscription with a variable component based on the

number of employees and payslips in each pay run.

There are no significant estimates, nor any uncertainty

surrounding the flat and variable components of

processing fees. Revenue is recognised when the

software service is supplied.

Interest Income

This category represents the interest earned from funds

held on behalf of our payroll customers which are held

on deposit. As customers pay their PAYE through to us

each pay run, we hold these funds and generate interest

on the balance before the payment is due to Inland

Revenue. As interest earned on these funds grows

directly in relation to our customers, we consider this an

additional stream of recurring revenue.

Cost to Serve

The category includes those costs which are related to

serving our customers through the use of our software

products, and the availability of our customer support

team. Costs included are those such as cloud hosting

expenses, maintenance of our software products, bank

fees charged per customer transaction, and customer

support.

Other Revenue

This category includes revenue that is not recurring

revenue and includes grants received and other services

revenue.

Other Interest Income

This category includes non-recurring interest income.

Customer Acquisition

This category includes those costs which are related

to acquiring new customers. Costs included are those

such as sales and marketing, implementation and

onboarding of customers to our system, discounts and

referral fees. These costs are expensed as incurred as

they do not relate to any specific customer or contract

for services.

Research & Development

This category includes those costs which are related to

researching and developing new solutions and solving

problems for our existing and future customers. Costs

included are predominantly software development

salaries.

It should be noted that measuring these costs between

years is not an accurate reflection of the actual spending

on research and development for PaySauce due to

the timing of these costs being capitalised. The reader

should also consider the amount of intangible assets

recognised during the financial year as detailed in the

full financial statements.

General & Administration

This category captures all of the other elements of

running the business. Costs included are those such as

management remuneration, director fees, office running

costs, finance and administration, legal and consulting

expenses, and other overhead costs.

Other Expenses

This category captures other expenses such as costs

relating to the reverse listing process.


EBITDA

EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and

amortisation) is calculated by adding back depreciation,

amortisation, interest expenditure, and income tax

expense to the amounts reported in the NZ IFRS-based

financial statements. PaySauce believes that EBITDA

provides useful insights to measure the performance of

PaySauce as a SaaS business.

EBITDA Margin %

EBITDA Margin % calculates EBITDA as a percentage of

Recurring Revenue.

SaaS Metrics & Definitions

These SaaS metrics are prepared and defined to provide

readers with useful information about the performance

of PaySauce as a SaaS business.

Non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Non-

GAAP) measures have been included, and should not

be viewed in isolation, nor considered as substitutes for

measures reported in accordance with New Zealand

Equivalents to International Financial Reporting

Standards (NZ IFRS).

Recurring Revenue

Recurring revenue is revenue that is expected to repeat

each period into the future.

For PaySauce, this is directly linked to the number

of customers and the pays that they run using the

PaySauce payroll product. There are currently two

sources of recurring revenue - processing fees and

interest income.

There is a direct correlation between the number

of customers processing payroll with PaySauce, and

the amounts of revenue derived from these streams

(allowing some variation due to elements such as

interest rates and number of payslips per customer per

pay run). There is no significant estimate or judgement

applied by management when recognising revenue

arising from these streams.

MRR

Monthly recurring revenue is the total recurring revenue

for the last calendar month of the reporting period.

ARR

Annual recurring revenue is the monthly recurring

revenue (MRR), multiplied by 12.

Gross Margin

The gross margin, when discussed as a SaaS term, is the

recurring revenue of the business, less the cost to serve

customers. This is often then expressed as a percentage,

where the gross margin is divided by the recurring

revenue.

Churn (monthly)

Churn is expressed as a percentage and is calculated as

the number of customers who did not run a pay in the

month, but ran at least one pay in the previous month,

divided by the total number of customers at the end of

the previous month.


ARPU

Average revenue per user (monthly) is the total recurring

revenue for the month, divided by the total customers

processing payroll that month.

CAC (per addition)

Customer acquisition cost (per addition) is the total cost

of acquiring customers for the period, divided by the

number of new customers processing payroll that were

acquired during the period.

LTV

Lifetime value is the estimated value of a customer

over its lifetime with PaySauce. This is calculated by

taking the ARPU multiplied by the gross margin %, then

divided by the churn %.

Total Customer LTV

Total customer lifetime value is the lifetime value

multiplied by the total customers.

LTV : CAC Ratio

This ratio reflects the return on investment for customer

acquisition. It is calculated by dividing the lifetime value

of a customer by the customer acquisition cost (per

addition).

Director’s Report

The Board of Directors have pleasure in presenting the

auditor’s report, for the year ended 31 March 2021.

In the opinion of the directors of PaySauce Limited, the

steps to safeguard the assets of the Group and to

prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

sufficient to provide reasonable assurance as to the

integrity and reliability of the consolidated financial

statements.

Independent

Auditor’s Report

To the Shareholders of PaySauce Limited

Report on the Audit of the

Consolidated Financial

Statements

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements

of PaySauce Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries

(“the Group”) on pages 24 to 53 which comprise the

consolidated statement of financial position as at

31 March 2021, and the consolidated statement of

comprehensive income, consolidated statement of

changes in equity and consolidated statement of

cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the

financial statements, including a summary of significant

accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial

statements present fairly, in all material respects, the

financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2021

and its financial performance and cash flows for the

year then ended in accordance with New Zealand

Equivalents to International Financial Reporting

Standards (NZ IFRS) issued by the New Zealand

Accounting Standards Board.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with

International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand)

(ISAs (NZ)) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and

Assurance Standards Board. 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 and the

provision of other assurance services we have no other

relationship with, or interests in, the Company or any of

its subsidiaries.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going

Concern

We draw attention to the consolidated statement of

comprehensive income which indicate the Group

incurred a net loss before income tax of $1,688,000

during the year ended 31 March 2021 and Note 4

which describes the Group’s reliance upon sufficient

forecast cash flows to enable the Group to continue its

business operations. As stated in Note 4, these events

and conditions, along with other matters set forth,

indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast

significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a

going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of

this matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our

professional judgement, were of most significance in

our audit of the consolidated financial statements of

the current period. These matters were addressed in

the context of our audit of the consolidated financial

statements 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.

Other Information

The Directors are responsible for the other information.

The other information comprises the Director’s and

CEO’s Report, Missions and values, Year in Review,

SaaS Reporting, Corporate Governance and Company

Directory but does not include the consolidated

financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

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 information, we are required to

report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Why the audit matter is significantHow our audit addressed the key audit

matter

Intangible Asset – internally developed software

Intangible assets computer software and software

in development had a carrying value of $905,000

as at 31 March 2021 with additions of $494,000

and amortisation of $152,000 in the year as

disclosed in note 7.

The Group is a Software as a Service (“SaaS”)

provider which incurs significant expenditure

in development, upgrading and maintaining of

software.

NZ IAS 38 Intangible Assets outlines the criteria

for capitalisation of costs associated with

developing the software including whether the

software will generate future economic benefits

as disclosed in Note 7. Capitalised software

costs are recognised at cost and subsequently

amortised over their estimated useful lives. Costs

that do not meet the criteria for capitalisation are

expensed to profit or loss as incurred.

Capitalisation of appropriate costs and estimates

of useful life require significant judgement and

therefore have been included as a key audit

matter.

We evaluated the appropriateness of costs that

have been capitalised as intangible asset software

and development and managements estimate of

useful life by:

• Inquiry of management, evaluating costs

that have been capitalised with respect to

the criteria outlined in NZ IAS 38 Intangible

Assets. We obtained an understanding of

the nature of the costs incurred including the

application of the software in the business to

generate future economic benefits.

• Checked costs capitalised and annual

amortisation charged for mathematical

accuracy including sensitivity analysis on rates

applied.

• Assessed managements estimate of

the useful life of intangible assets for

reasonableness based upon the expected

future period of use of the asset

• Agreed a sample of costs capitalised for

appropriate sufficient audit evidence.

FINANCIALS

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 issued by the New Zealand Accounting

Standards Board, 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 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 the aggregate,

they could reasonably be expected to influence the

economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these

consolidated financial statements.

A further description of the auditor’s responsibilities for

the audit of the financial statements is located on the

External Reporting Board’s website at: https://www.xrb.

Notes to the

Consolidated

Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2021

1. General information

PaySauce Limited (the “Company” or “PaySauce”), is a

limited liability company, domiciled and incorporated in

New Zealand and registered under the Companies Act

1993.

These consolidated financial statements presented are

for PaySauce Limited, together with its subsidiaries (the

“Group”) for the year ended 31 March 2021.

These consolidated financial statements were

authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of

the Directors on 26 May 2021.

The Group provides Software as a Service (SaaS)

delivering employment and payment solutions to

small and medium-sized businesses. As well as the

core payroll solution (with fully automated banking,

accounting and pay-day filing) the Group provides

digital employment contracts, rosters, timesheets and

earned wage access for employees - accessible via

smartphone.

PaySauce is a for-profit entity listed on the New Zealand

Stock Exchange (“NZX”) that trades under the ticker PYS.

2. Summary of significant

accounting policies

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The consolidated financial statements have been

prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally

Accepted Accounting Practice (“NZ GAAP”) and on the

assumption that the Group is a going concern. They

comply with New Zealand equivalents to International

Financial Reporting Standards (“NZ IFRS”) and

other applicable Financial Reporting Standards, as

appropriate for profit oriented entities. The consolidated

financial statements also comply with International

Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

The Group is a Tier 1 for profit reporting entity as defined

by the External Reporting Board in its “Accounting

Standards Framework”.

Historical cost convention

The consolidated financial statements have been

prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the

revaluation of certain assets and liabilities as identified

in specific accounting policies below:

a. Basis of consolidation

The Group financial statements incorporate the financial

statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at

31 March 2021. All subsidiaries are wholly owned and

controlled by the Company as at 31 March 2021 and

have a reporting date of 31 March 2021 (note 21).

All transactions and balances between the Group are

eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains

and losses on transactions between Group companies.

Where unrealised losses on intra group asset sales

are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is

also tested for impairment from a group perspective.

Amounts reported in the financial statements of

subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary

to ensure consistency with the accounting policies

adopted by the Group.

Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of

subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the

reporting period are recognised from the effective date

of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as

applicable.

b. Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the consolidated financial statements

of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency

of the primary economic environment in which the

entity operates (New Zealand). The consolidated

financial statements are presented in New Zealand

dollars ($), which is the Group’s functional and

presentation currency.

All financial information has been rounded to the

nearest one thousand dollars ($1,000).

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the

functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing

at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items

are re-measured.

c. Goods and Services Tax (GST)

All revenue and expense transactions are recorded

exclusive of GST. Assets and liabilities are similarly stated

exclusive of GST, with the exception of receivables and

payables, which are stated inclusive of GST.

d. Financial instruments

Recognition and derecognition

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the

Group becomes a party to contractual provisions of the

instrument.


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

risk and rewards are transferred. A financial liability

is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged,

cancelled or expires.

Classification and initial measurement of financial

assets

Except for those trade receivables that do not contain

a significant financing component and are measured

at the transaction price in accordance with IFRS 15

(Revenue from Contracts with Customers), all financial

assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for

transaction costs (where applicable).

Financial assets are classified into the following

categories:

• Amortised cost

• Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

• Fair value through other comprehensive income

(FVOCI)

In the periods presented the Group does not have any

financial assets categorised as FVTPL or FVOCI.

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if

the assets meet the following conditions (and are not

designated as FVTPL):

• they are held within a business model whose

objective is to hold the financial assets and collect

its contractual cash flows; and

• the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise

to cash flows that are solely payments of principal

and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial recognition, these are measured at

amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting

is immaterial. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents,

trade and other receivables fall into this category of

financial instruments.

Trade and other receivables and contract assets

The Group makes use of a simplified approach in

accounting for trade and other receivables and records

the loss allowance as lifetime expected credit losses.

These are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash

32
PaySauce Limited

33

Annual Report 2021

FINANCIALS

flows, considering the potential for default at any point

during the life of the financial instrument.

Classification and measurement of financial

liabilities

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other

payables, and funds due to customers and IRD.

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value,

and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs

unless the Group designated a financial liability at fair

value through profit or loss. Subsequently, financial

liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the

effective interest method.

e. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand

and term deposits maturing within 6 months. This also

includes funds collected from customers as a PAYE

intermediary (note 22).

f. Property, plant and equipment

Recognition and measurement

Items of computer, office equipment, leasehold

improvements, motor vehicles, and right-of-use assets

are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation

and accumulated impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to

the acquisition of the asset. Purchased software that is

integral to the functionality of the related equipment is

capitalised as part of that equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant

and equipment (calculated as the difference between

the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying

amount of the item) is recognised in profit or loss within

the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Subsequent costs

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it is

probable that the future economic benefits associated

with this expenditure will flow to the Group and the

cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other

costs, including ongoing repairs and maintenance, are

expensed as incurred.

Depreciation

Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its

residual value. Significant components of individual

assets are assessed and if a component has a useful life

that is different from the remainder of that asset, that

component is depreciated separately.

Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight

line basis over the estimated useful lives of each item

of equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the

shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is

reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership

by the end of the lease term.

The depreciation rates for the current and comparative

years of significant items of property, plant and

equipment are as follows:

Right-of-assets12.5%

Office equipment8.5 - 67%

Leasehold improvements10 - 25%

Computer equipment21 - 40%

Motor vehicles30%

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values

are reviewed at each reporting period and adjusted if

appropriate.

g. Intangible assets

Software

Acquired computer software licenses and costs

associated with developing computer software are

capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire

and bring to use the specific software. These costs are

amortised over their estimated useful lives of 2.5 to 5

years. Costs associated with maintaining computer

software programs are recognised as an expense as

incurred.

Development expenditure

Development expenditure (predominantly salary costs

of our software development team) incurred on a

project is capitalised as a long-term asset to the extent

that such expenditure is expected to generate future

economic benefits. Any development expenditure that

does not meet this criteria is recognised as an expense.

Development expenditure is capitalised if, and only if

the Group can demonstrate all of the following:

• its ability to measure reliably the expenditure

attributable to the asset under development;

• the product or process is technically and

commercially feasible;

• its future economic benefits are probable;

• its ability to use or sell the developed asset; and

• the availability of adequate technical, financial

and other resources to complete the asset under

development.

Capitalised development expenditure is measured at

cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment

losses, if any. Development expenditure initially

recognised as an expense is not recognised as an asset

in subsequent periods. In the event that the expected

future economic benefits are no longer considered

probable, the development expenditure is written down

to its recoverable amount.

Amortisation is recognised in the Statement of

Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis and the

rate for the current and comparative years are as follows:

Software20 - 67%

Research and development

Research expenditure and development expenditure

that does not meet the criteria above is recognised as

an expense as incurred.

h. Impairment of non-financial assets

Property, Plant & Equipment

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment

are reviewed annually for impairment when events or

changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value

may not be recoverable.

Software Development Assets and Development in

Progress

Software development intangible assets with useful

lives, and software development which has not yet

completed are tested annually for impairment or

more frequently if events or changes in circumstances

indicate that they might be impaired. This includes

external factors, such as changes in expected future

processes, technology and economic conditions.

If any indications of impairment exist relating to non-

financial assets, and where the carrying values exceed

the estimated recoverable amount, the assets are

written down to their recoverable amounts.

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair

value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use is

determined by estimating future cash flows from the

use and ultimate disposal of the asset and discounting

these to their present value using a pre tax discount rate

that reflects current market rates and the risks specific

to the asset. For the purposes of assessing impairment,

assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there

are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating

units). Impairment losses directly reduce the carrying

amount of assets and are recognised in profit or loss.

i. Leases

The Group leases an office premises and various pieces

of equipment. Lease terms are negotiated on an

individual basis and contain a wide range of different

terms and conditions. These lease agreements do not

impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be

used as security for borrowing purposes.

34
PaySauce Limited

35

Annual Report 2021

FINANCIALS

Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a

corresponding liability at the date at which the leased

asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease

payment is allocated between the liability and finance

cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the

lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate

of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for

each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over

the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term

on a straight-line basis.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially

measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities

include the net present value of the following lease

payments:

• fixed payments (including in-substance fixed

payments), less any lease incentives receivable;

• variable lease payments that are based on an index

or a rate;

• amounts expected to be payable by the lessee

under residual value guarantees;

• the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee

is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and;

• payment of penalties for terminating the lease, if

the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that

option.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest

rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be determined,

or the group’s incremental borrowing rate.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, comprising the

following:

• the amount of the initial measurement of lease

liability;

• any lease payments made at or before the

commencement date less any lease incentives

received;

• any initial direct costs, and;

• restoration costs.

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases

of low-value assets are recognised on a straight line

basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases

are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-

value assets comprise IT-equipment and small items of

office furniture.

j. Trade and other payables

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or

services that have been acquired in the ordinary course

of business from suppliers.

Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and

subsequently measured at amortised cost using the

effective interest method. As trade and other payables

are usually paid within 30 days, they are carried at face

value.

k. Employee benefits

Short term employee benefit obligations are measured

on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the

related service is provided.

The Group pays contributions to superannuation plans,

such as Kiwisaver. The Group has no further payment

obligations once the contributions have been paid. The

contributions are recognised as an employee benefit

expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are

recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund

or a reduction in the future payments is available.

l. Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental

costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares

and share options are recognised as a deduction from

equity, net of any tax effects.

m. Revenue

REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Revenue arises mainly from SaaS employment services.


To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Group

follows a 5-step process:

1. Identifying the contract with a customer

2. Identifying the performance obligations

3. Determining the transaction price

4. Allocating the transaction price to the

performance obligations

5. Recognising revenue when and as its

performance obligations are satisfied.

Revenue is recognised either at a point in time or over

time, when (or as) the Group satisfies performance

obligations by transferring the promised services to its

customers.

There are no significant estimates or judgements

surrounding recognition of revenue.

Processing fees

Revenue from payroll processing fees is recognised

at a point in time when the performance obligation

has been satisfied and is based on the amount of the

transaction price that is allocated to the performance

obligation. Revenue from processing fees includes

both fixed and incremental components based on

the number of employees and pays processed for

the customer which are known as the revenue is

recognised at the point in time the service is provided.

The transaction price is the amount of consideration

to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange

for providing the service to the customer. There is no

significant financing component to the contracts,

and payment is due at the point the performance

obligation has been met. The performance obligation

for processing fees is considered to be met when the

customer’s payroll has been processed.

Other operating revenue - contract builder sales

Revenue from contract builder sales are recognised

at a point in time when the performance obligation

has been satisfied and is based on the amount of the

transaction price that is allocated to the performance

obligation. The transaction price is the amount of

consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled

in exchange for providing the service to the customer.

There is no significant financing component to the

contracts, and there is no variable consideration as the

price is known as the revenue is recognised at the point

in time the service is provided. Payment is due at the

point the performance obligation has been met. The

performance obligation for contract builder sales is

considered to be met when the customer has used the

digital contract builder service.

REVENUE FROM OTHER SOURCES

Interest income

Interest income is accrued on a time basis by reference

to the principal outstanding and using the

effective interest rate method. Interest is determined

to be operating revenue by the Group, as interest is

primarily generated from the balance of PAYE funds

held due to IRD, which is directly linked to the number

of PaySauce customers processing payroll.

Other operating revenue - others

Other operating revenue consists of implementation

costs, and one-off service provision. These revenues are

recognised upon completion of services at a point in

time.

Grants received

Grants received are recognised at their fair value where

it is highly probable that the grant will be received

and PaySauce has met any associated conditions.

This revenue is recognised at a point in time as the

conditions are met.

n. Interest expense

Interest expenses are recognised in profit or loss within

the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income

as they accrue, using the effective interest method.

The effective interest method calculates the amortised

cost of a financial liability and allocates the finance

cost, including any fees and directly related transaction

costs that are an integral part of the effective interest

rate, over the expected life of the financial liability. The

36
PaySauce Limited

37

Annual Report 2021

FINANCIALS

application of the method has the effect of recognising

the expense on the financial liability evenly in proportion

to the amount outstanding over the period to maturity

or repayment.

o. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when

incurred except to the extent that they are directly

attributable to the acquisition, construction or

production of a qualifying asset, in which case the

borrowing costs are capitalised.

p. Income tax

Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax.

Current tax and deferred tax is recognised in profit or

loss except to the extent that it relates to a business

combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in

other comprehensive income.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable

on the taxable income or loss for the reporting period,

using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the

reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in

respect of previous reporting periods. Current tax also

includes any tax liability arising from the declaration of

dividends.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary

differences between the carrying amounts of assets

and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the

amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not

recognised for:

• temporary differences on the initial recognition

of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not

a business combination and that affects neither

accounting nor taxable profit or loss;

• temporary differences related to investments in

subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the

extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in

the foreseeable future; and

• taxable temporary differences arising on the initial

recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are

expected to be applied to temporary differences when

they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively

enacted at the reporting date.

In determining the amount of current and deferred tax

the Group takes into account the impact of uncertain

tax positions and whether additional taxes and interest

may be due. The Group believes that its accruals for tax

liabilities are adequate for all open tax years based on

its assessment of many factors, including interpretations

of tax law and prior experience. This assessment relies

on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series

of judgements about future events. New information

may become available that causes the Group to change

its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax

liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will impact

tax expense in the period that such a determination is

made.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a

legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities

and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by

the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on

different tax entities, but they intend to settle current

tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets

and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses,

tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the

extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will

be available against which they can be utilised.

Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting

date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer

probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.


3. Statement of cash flows

The consolidated statement of cash flows has been

prepared using the direct approach.

Cash flows from related party receivables and

payables and borrowings have been netted to provide

meaningful disclosure to better reflect the activities of

the party providing the funding.

The following are the definitions of the terms used in

the consolidated statement of cash flows:

Operating activities

Operating activities include all transactions and other

events that are revenue producing activities and not

investing or financing activities;

Investing activities

Investing activities are those activities relating to the

acquisition, holding and disposal of property, plant

and equipment, intangible assets and of investments.

Investments can include securities not falling within the

definition of cash; and

Financing activities

Financing activities are those activities that result in

changes in the size and composition of the capital

structure. This includes both equity and debt not falling

within the definition of cash. Dividends paid (if any) in

relation to the capital structure are included in financing

activities.

4. Use of critical accounting

estimates and judgements

The preparation of the consolidated 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. Actual results may differ from

these judgements, estimates and assumptions.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on

an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates

are recognised in the period in which the estimates are

revised and in any future periods affected.

Information about critical judgements in applying

accounting policies that have the most significant effect

on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial

statements is included in the following notes:

Capitalisation of intangible assets

Management considers the time and associated salary

cost of development staff to fall under the classification

of development expenditure for assessment purposes

in accordance with the principles outlined in the

intangible assets accounting policy in note 2(g). No

weighting of overheads is applied in these calculations.

Accounting for finite life intangible assets

At each reporting date, the useful lives and residual

values of finite life intangible assets are reviewed for

indicators of impairment. As at 31 March 2021, the assets

were assessed for indicators of impairment by reviewing

the nature of the events that originally gave rise to

the recognition of the assets, the estimation of future

generation of cash flows and any anticipated changes

to the business or product circumstances. Management

concluded that there were no indicators of impairment

of the assets as at 31 March 2021.

Management has reassessed the remaining useful

life of each significant asset after consideration of the

expected future period of use. Changes in estimates

have not resulted in any material impact upon the

current and future annual amortisation charged.

COVID-19

Management considers that COVID-19 did not have a

significant negative impact on the business operations,

financial performance, nor the financial position of the

Group for the year ended 31 March 2021. Management

has made this judgement by looking at a range of

indicators - and has not seen any material negative

impacts on the following key indicators:

• Customer churn

• Customer size

• Registrations and sign-ups for new customers

• Aged receivables

• Losses of major partnerships.

Other more macro economic impacts of COVID-19

included a decrease in interest income (due to a sharp

decline in interest rates), and a change in strategic

38
PaySauce Limited

39

Annual Report 2021

FINANCIALS

direction with expansion to the Irish market put on

hold due to continued uncertainty of overseas travel.

The impact of the decline in interest rates on interest

income is estimated by management to be around

$0.114 million. Domestically, organic growth exceeded

expectations as more clients sought a cloud-based

solution and this compensated for the shortfall in

expected growth from our partnership with a global

HR provider which is more reliant on in-person sales

and implementation. With a sole focus on the domestic

market, overall growth was in line with management’s

expectations.

While the pandemic is largely under control in New

Zealand, management continues to monitor the

progress of the New Zealand government in keeping

COVID-19 out of New Zealand, and will continue to

assess any impact on the business operations, financial

performance, and financial position of the Group in

the event of any resurgences in New Zealand. At this

stage, management does not consider there to be

any significant risk to the Group. The factors which

management considered in forming this judgement are

as follows:

• PaySauce’s business operations are always ready to

operate with minimal interruption upon enactment

of our Business Continuity Plan (BCP)

• The PaySauce product is cloud-based, which

enables customers to continue to use the service

uninterrupted when they enact their BCP.

PaySauce’s customer base predominantly consists

of businesses from New Zealand’s agricultural

primary industry, one of the other least impacted

sectors during the first outbreak of COVID-19 in New

Zealand

• PaySauce is yet to see, and does not anticipate

seeing customers (based on experience from the

first outbreak and lockdown period) asking to

defer payments, partly due to the nature of our

billing (at a point in time as the service is provided,

automatically deducted), and that the cost is

relatively small on a monthly per customer basis

compared to other business expenses

• Payroll is the core of our service provision, and is an

essential service for New Zealand businesses.

Going concern

The consolidated financial statements have been

prepared on a going concern basis.

The Group made a net loss before tax of $1.688 million

for the year ended 31 March 2021 (2020: $2.363 million),

has equity at 31 March 2021 of $2.432 million (2020:

$2.242 million) and net current assets/(liabilities) of

$1.408 million (2020: $1.530 million). The Group does not

currently generate sufficient revenues to meet operating

costs and the Group does not operate a facility of debt

to draw upon.

At each reporting date, estimates and judgements

are made around the ability of the Group to continue

operating for the foreseeable future, which is not

less than 12 months from the date these financial

statements are approved for issue. These estimates and

judgements are formed with reference to the current

cash on hand and forecast future cash flows from

operations, using information available to the Directors

at the time of signing the financial statements.

The Group’s ability to continue as a going concern is

dependent upon meeting forecasted growth in revenue

primarily through customer acquisition. The uncertainty

of meeting forecast growth, and in turn forecast

future cash flows from operations, creates a material

uncertainty that may cast doubt on the Group’s ability to

continue as a going concern.

In the event that forecasted cash flows from operations

are not met, plans to mitigate the effects of this on the

Group’s ability to continue as a going concern include:

• Hiring freeze

• Reducing operating expense

• Deferring non-essential capital projects, with a focus

on maximising cash flow

• Price increase

The Directors consider after making due enquiry and

having regard to the circumstances which they consider

reasonably likely to affect the Group that the Group has

sufficient cash on hand combined with forecast cash

flows from operations, for the foreseeable future, which

is not less than 12 months from the date these financial

statements are approved for issue, that the going

concern assumption is valid.

If PaySauce is unable to continue as a going concern

the company may be unable to realise its assets and

discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

i. On 28 January 2020: PaySauce converted the

outstanding convertible loan note agreement with

Public Trust Nominees Class 10 Limited to shares, in

accordance with the provisions of the agreement.

The agreement was entered into on 28 June 2019,

for a term of 24 months after which the notes

were to convert into ordinary shares, unless either

the holder or issuer elects to convert the notes at

an earlier date. The total value of the drawdown,

inclusive of accrued interest, was $1.285 million,

resulting in an issue of 2,495,403 new shares at the

conversion price of $0.51 per share.

ii. On 9 March 2020: PaySauce completed the initial

allotment of shares under its rights issue announced

to shareholders on 11 February 2020. The allotment

on 9 March 2020 resulted in 11,974,843 shares being

issued at a price of $0.34 per share, a net raise

of $3.981 million after directly attributable costs.

The issue was not fully subscribed, and PaySauce

announced it would seek to place the remaining

share capital over the subsequent 90 day window in

accordance with the NZX listing rules. The available

shares remaining for allotment as at 31 March 2020

were 5,077,482.

iii. On 30 April 2020: PaySauce completed the

second allotment of shares under its rights issue

shortfall. The allotment on 30 April 2020 resulted

in 3,430,245 shares being issued at a price of $0.34

per share, a net raise of $1.153 million after directly

attributable costs.

iv. On 15 May 2020: PaySauce completed the final

allotment of shares under its rights issue shortfall.

The allotment on 15 May 2020 resulted in 1,647,237

shares being issued at a price of $0.34 per share, a

net raise of $0.550 million after directly attributable

costs. This completed the fully subscribed rights

issue.

v. On 31 March 2021: PaySauce issued ordinary shares

to employees as part of remuneration arrangements

under employment agreements. This was a share

based payment for accrued bonuses, there were no

vesting periods or conditions, and were all equity

settled and expensed to the profit and loss. The

allotment on 31 March 2021 resulted in 607,675

shares being issued at a price of $0.2875 per share,

satisfying remuneration arrangements to the value

of $0.175 million.

All ordinary shares have no par value. They have equal

voting rights and share equally in dividends and surplus

on liquidation.

Dividends

No dividends were declared or paid during the

reporting period (2020: None).

Capital Risk Management

The Group considers its capital to comprise its ordinary

share capital, accumulated retained earnings.

When managing capital, management’s objective

is to achieve optimal long term capital returns to

shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

Management also aims to maintain a capital structure

that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the

Company.

9. Earnings / (loss) per share

There are no financial instruments on issue that will

dilute the basic earnings per share amounts for the year

ended 31 March 2021.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing

the profit / (loss) attributable to equity holders of the

Company by the weighted average number of ordinary

shares on issue during the period.

(a) Categories of Financial Assets & Liabilities

The carrying amounts presented in the statement of

financial position relate to the following categories of

assets and liabilities.

The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks. The

financial risks arise from the business activities of the

Group. The specific financial risks that the Group is

exposed to are discussed below.

(b) Market Risk

(i) Credit risk

As a SaaS business with minimal credit exposure,

credit risk is relatively low relating to revenue received

from customers and any associated trade receivables.

For other financial assets (including cash and bank

balances), the Group minimises credit risk by dealing

exclusively with high credit rating counterparties.

Credit risk concentration profile

The Group manages credit risk by placing its cash and

short term investments with high quality financial

institutions. The majority of the Cash and Cash

Equivalents are held with ASB Bank and BNZ, both of

which have a credit rating of A+ from Fitch, AA- from

Standard & Poor’s, and A1 from Moody’s.

Exposure to credit risk

As the Group does not hold any collateral, the

maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the

carrying amount of the financial assets as at the end of

the reporting period.

(ii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises mainly from business activities. The

Group manages liquidity risk by ensuring cash flow is

planned ahead of time, and funding is planned and

organised when required, to ensure the Group will be

able to meet its financial obligations. The following table

sets out the maturity profile of the financial liabilities as

at the end of the reporting period based on contractual

undiscounted cash flows (including interest payment

computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based

on the rate at the end of the reporting period):

(iii) Interest rate risk

PaySauce’s interest rate risk arises from the interest

that it earns from its cash and cash equivalents. These

funds are subject to variable interest rates that expose

PaySauce to cash flow interest risk rate. PaySauce does

not currently use any derivative products to manage

interest rate risk.

As at balance date, none of the funds were held in

deposits subject to interest periods of greater than 12

months.

An analysis of the sensitivity of the Group’s earnings due

to movements in interest rates is shown below.

The above information is calculated by applying the

effective movement to the average balance of cash

and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents and

Deposits total $21.756 million (2020: $15.239 million).

18. Fair values of financial assets

and liabilities

The carrying values of short term financial assets and

liabilities approximate their fair values. Short term

financial assets include cash, trade and other receivables

and related party receivables. Related party receivables

carrying values approximate their fair values.

segment only, being SaaS based employment and

payment solutions to small and medium-sized New

Zealand businesses. As well as the core payroll solution

(with fully automated banking, accounting and pay-

day filing) the Group provides digital employment

contracts, rosters, timesheets and earned wage access

for employees - accessible via smartphone. The chief

operating decision maker has been identified as

the Board of Directors, as it makes all key strategic

resource allocation decisions (such as those concerning

acquisition, divestment and significant capital

expenditure).

22. Funds due to customers and

IRD

As a PAYE intermediary, PaySauce collects funds from

clients which are payable to both clients’ employees

(as the employees’ net wages and salaries) and the IRD

(as the applicable PAYE, student loan and other IRD

liabilities). These funds are included in PaySauce’s cash

and deposit balances and in accordance with section

RP6 of the Income Tax Act 2007, PaySauce can earn

interest on these funds, but the funds must only be

used as follows:

• Payment of net salary or wages to employees of

PaySauce’s clients.

• Payment of IRD obligations resulting from pays

run on PaySauce software to the IRD, including

PAYE deductions, student loan deductions,

superannuation contributions and any other

amount of tax withheld from a payment of salary or

wages to IRD.

Under the financial reporting standards movements

in these funds do not meet the definition of either

investing or financing activities and so must be classified

as operating cash flows. However as stated above the

use of these funds is restricted and they cannot be used

to cover other PaySauce expenses, the company has

therefore presented operating cash flows in the Cash

Flow Statement as both before and after this movement

in funds.

23. Contingencies

As at 31 March 2021 the Group had no contingent

liabilities or assets (2020: $nil)

24. Events occurring after the

reporting period

No adjusting or significant non-adjusting events have

occurred between the reporting date and the date of

authorisation.

PaySauce Limited

This section is structured around the principles detailed

in the Code, and explains how PaySauce is applying

the Code’s recommendations. PaySauce documents

referred to in this section are also available online at

https://www.paysauce.com/investor/

Strong corporate governance protects the

Company and as a result our shareholders,

customers, staff, and stakeholders. Our

approach to the recommendations

outlined in the NZX Corporate Governance

Code (the Code) are set out below.

The Board considers that, as at 26 May 2021, the

Company complied with the recommendations set by

the NZX Corporate Governance Code, unless stated in

the sections outlined below, or in PaySauce’s Corporate

Governance Code.

Corporate Governance

PaySauce Limited

57

Annual Report 2021

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Principle 1

Code of ethical

behaviour

“Directors should set high standards of

ethical behaviour, model this behaviour

and hold management accountable for

these standards being followed throughout

the organisation.”

Code of ethics

Our code of ethics exists to help our directors, senior

management, and employees with not just doing well,

but doing good.

This sets the standard of conduct for all our people. It’s

intended to support decision-making that aligns with

PaySauce’s values, business goals, and legal and policy

obligations. The board approves the code of ethics,

which covers:

• conflicts of interest

• accepting gifts or benefits

• protecting company assets

• complying with laws and policies

• maintaining confidentiality

• valuing personnel

• transparency

All new directors and employees receive a copy of the

code of ethics.

Securities trading policy

PaySauce respects the integrity of New Zealand’s

financial markets and insider trading laws. Our securities

trading policy outlines how those laws apply, and the

rules we’ve put in place to help ensure our people follow

the law.

Principle 2

Board composition

and performance

“To ensure an effective board, there should

be a balance of independence, skills,

knowledge, experience.”

The board of directors

The directors are responsible for the corporate

governance practices of the company. The board’s

practices are detailed in the Company’s corporate

governance code, which lays out protocols for board

operations.

This code complies with the relevant recommendations

in the NZX Corporate Governance Code, and is reviewed

annually.

The board’s primary role is to represent and promote

the interests of shareholders, ultimately adding long-

term value to the company’s shares.

The board carries out its responsibilities according to the

following mandate.

• the Board shall have a minimum number of three

directors and a maximum of 10;

• the Board shall have at least two directors ordinarily

resident in New Zealand;

• the Board shall maintain at least two Independent

Directors (as defined in the NZX Main Board Listing

Rules). Where there are eight or more directors, the

board will maintain three or one-third (rounded

down to the nearest whole number) of the total

number of directors, whichever is the greater;

• a majority of the directors should not be executives

of the Company;

• a director should not have any significant conflict

of interest that is potentially detrimental to the

Directors, certain employees, and related parties need

approval from PaySauce to trade in the company’s

shares. Trading is limited to defined “trading windows”.

The directors’ shareholdings and trading of shares

during the year by the directors is published under

Directors’ disclosures. A director or senior manager must

advise the NZX promptly if they trade in the company’s

shares.

Company, other than and to the extent dealt with in

the Corporate Governance Code of the Company;

• the Board seeks diversity in the skills, attributes and

experience of its members across a broad range of

criteria, to represent the diversity of shareholders,

business types and regions in which the Company

operates; and

• the Board elects a Chair, and can replace them at

any time.

• Management must provide the board with accurate

information within the timeframe required for the

board to effectively discharge its duties.

• The effectiveness and performance of the board

and its individual members should be re-evaluated

annually.

As at 31 March 2021 the Board comprised of five

Directors:

• Asantha Wijeyeratne – Executive Director and CEO

• Gavin Thompson – Non-executive Director

• Jacqueline Cheyne – Independent Director (Chair

of Audit & Risk Committee)

• Michael O’Donnell – Independent Director

• Nicholas Lewis – Independent Director (Chair of

Board)

Independence of directors is determined by assessing

the directors against the following factors:

• Not currently, or historically (with 3 years) employed

in an executive role with PaySauce;

• Not currently holding a senior role in a provider of

material professional services to PaySauce;

• No current material business relationship (i.e. as a

supplier or customer) to PaySauce;

• Not currently a substantial product holder of

PaySauce or a senior manager of a product holder

of PaySauce;

• No current material contractual relationship with

PaySauce, other than as a director;

• No close family ties with anyone who would fall into

58
PaySauce Limited

59

Annual Report 2021

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

the above categories;

• Has not been a director of PaySauce for a length of

time that may compromise independence.

Mandy Simpson resigned as an Independent Director

and Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee, effective 18

September 2020.

Jacqueline Cheyne joined the Board as an Independent

Director and Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee,

effective 1 August 2020.

Michael O’Donnell joined the Board as an Independent

Director, effective 1 October 2020.

More information on the directors, including their

relevant interests, and shareholdings, is provided in the

Directors’ disclosures section of this report and is on the

company’s website.

Day-to-day management of PaySauce is delegated to

the Chief Executive and the Executive team.

The board’s responsibilities

The primary responsibilities of the board are to:

• provide overall governance and strategic leadership;

• oversee management’s implementation of the

Company’s strategic objectives and performance;

• oversee the development, adoption and

communication of a clear strategy for the Company;

• oversee accounting and reporting systems and

ensure the quality and independence of the

Company’s external audit process;

• adopt and regularly review the risk management

framework;

• appoint a chairperson of the Board and the CEO;

• review and approve the Company’s operating

budgets and major capital expenditure;

• adopt and review the Company’s remuneration

policy and other corporate governance documents;

• ensure compliance with the Company’s constitution,

continuous disclosure obligations, and the relevant

laws, listing rules and regulations and auditing and

accounting principles;

• implement and periodically review the Company’s

Code of Ethics, foster high standards of ethical

conduct and personal behaviour and hold

accountable those who engage in unethical

behaviours;

• periodically assess its own effectiveness in carrying

out these functions and the other responsibilities of

the Board.

On appointment to the board by the shareholders, new

directors sign a written agreement that covers the terms

of their appointment.

Every year, the board and sub-committees critically

evaluate their own performance and processes. This

will identify any training opportunities for individual

directors to maintain relevant and up-to-date skills for

their role.

Independent professional advice

With the prior approval of the Chair, each director may

seek independent legal and professional advice, at the

company’s expense, about any aspect of PaySauce’s

operations to assist in fulfilling their duties as a director.

Diversity

The PaySauce board and management are determined

that all staff and all eligible candidates for vacant

positions should have equal opportunity to demonstrate

their skills and experience. This forms the basis of our

diversity policy.

PaySauce embraces uniqueness in our people and

welcomes diversity. We believe that difference builds

resilience and innovation. We encourage our employees

to be curious and open-minded, embracing wide-

ranging perspectives and working to meet the needs of

individuals.

Our approach to diversity is to continually develop a

work environment that supports equality, exchange and

inclusion. We believe in accommodating, rather than

minimising, the different needs of our people.

The board has set measurable objectives for PaySauce’s

diversity policy which will be assessed annually. The

board will make sure PaySauce’s objectives are useful

and practical for promoting diversity and inclusion.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Principle 3

Board committees

“The board should use committees

where this will enhance its effectiveness

in key areas, while still retaining board

responsibility.”

Audit and Risk Committee

The Audit and Risk Committee (“ARC”) assists the board

in financial reporting, and risk and financial/secretarial

compliance.

The ARC makes recommendations to the board

on appointing external auditors to ensure their

independence. The ARC also monitors 5-yearly rotation

of the lead audit partner.

The ARC facilitates communication between the board

and external auditors. The committee’s responsibilities

include:


• reviewing the appointment of the external auditor,

the annual audit plan, and addressing auditor

recommendations

• reviewing publicly released dividend proposals and

financial information

• ensuring that appropriate financial systems and

internal controls are in place.

The ARC must include at least three directors, and

consist of only non-executive directors and have a

majority of independent directors. At least one member

must be a director with an accounting or financial

background.

Principle 4

Reporting and

disclosure

“The board should demand integrity in

financial and non-financial reporting, and

in the timeliness and balance of corporate

disclosures.”

Reporting and disclosure

The board is committed to providing accurate, thorough,

and timely information to existing shareholders and to

the market. This means all investors can make informed

decisions about PaySauce.

As an NZX listed company, PaySauce must comply with

disclosure requirements under the NZX Main Board

Listing Rules. PaySauce recognises the importance

of these requirements in providing equal access for

all investors, or potential investors, to price-sensitive

information.

The disclosure and communications policy outlines

PaySauce’s obligations to meet disclosure requirements.

It also covers related issues, including external

communications.

At present, PaySauce has not provided detailed

reporting on environmental, economic and social

sustainability risks, because it is in the early stages

of reporting on non-financial information. PaySauce

will consider providing more detailed non-financial

reporting in the coming financial years.

The Chair of the Board cannot also be the Chair of the

ARC. The current members are Jacqueline Cheyne

(Chair), Nicholas Lewis, and Gavin Thompson, of which

Jacqueline and Nicholas are independent directors.

The committee usually invites the Chief Executive,

Chief Financial Officer, Head of Finance, and at least

twice a year invites the external auditors to attend ARC

meetings.

PaySauce publishes key governance and other relevant

documents in the investor centre of our website:

https://www.paysauce.com/investor/

Announcements made to the NZX and reports are also

posted on the company’s website.

Principle 5

Remuneration

“The remuneration of directors and

executives should be transparent, fair and

reasonable.”

The board is responsible for setting individual directors’

fees, and monitoring the remuneration of the Chief

Executive and Executive Team.

PaySauce has in place a remuneration policy, outlining

the key principles that influence remuneration

practices. This can be found in the Company’s Corporate

Governance Code, located on the Company’s website

(at the date of this report, located in section 15 of the

Company’s Corporate Governance Code at

https://www.paysauce.com/investor/).


Further details and disclosures are outlined in the

disclosures section of this document.

Principle 6

Risk management

“Directors should have a sound

understanding of the material risks faced

by the issuer and how to manage them.

The board should regularly verify that

the Company has appropriate processes

that identify and manage potential and

material risks.”

The board is responsible for overseeing internal controls

to manage key risks, and has overall responsibility for

managing risk.

The company maintains a risk register to identify and

manage risk. The Executive Team is responsible for

maintaining this register, and reporting to the board on

a regular basis.

Through the ARC, the board considers the

recommendations of external auditors. The board sees

that those recommendations are investigated and

appropriate action is taken, where necessary.

Principle 7

Auditors

“The board should ensure the quality

and independence of the external audit

process.”

The Audit and Risk Committee (“ARC”) makes

recommendations to the board to appoint an

external auditor. The committee also monitors the

independence and effectiveness of the external auditor,

and reviews and approves any non-audit services they

perform.

The committee meets with the external auditor at least

twice a year to approve the terms of engagement, audit

partner rotation (at least every 5 years) and audit fee,

and to review and provide feedback on the annual audit

plan.

The committee routinely meets with PaySauce’s external

auditor, Grant Thornton, without management present.

Grant Thornton also attends PaySauce’s AGM.

The company continually monitors its internal control

environment.

Principle 8

Shareholder rights

and relations

“The board should respect the rights of

shareholders and foster constructive

relationships with shareholders that

encourage them to engage with the issuer.”

Information for shareholders

The company seeks to help investors understand its

activities, by communicating effectively and providing

clear and balanced information.

The company website (www.paysauce.com) provides

an overview of the business and information about

its activities. This includes details of the company’s

services, latest news, investor information, key corporate

governance information, and copies of significant NZX

announcements. The website also provides profiles of

the directors and the senior executive team.

Shareholders have the right to vote on PaySauce’s

major decisions, in line with the requirements of the

Companies Act 1993 and the NZX Main Board Listing

Rules.

Communicating with shareholders

PaySauce works to keep investors well informed, and

regularly provides information about current operations

and future plans.

PaySauce sends notice of the AGM to shareholders, and

publishes it on the company website at least 28 days

before the meeting each year.
