HomeSend enables cross-border transfer between bank accounts, cards, mobile wallets, or cash outlets from anywhere in the world. As a founding partner in the HomeSend hub, Wameja helped conceive and bring the opportunity to market. HomeSend is a joint venture of Wameja (35.68%) and Mastercard (64.32%). The net result of the consolidated entity from continuing operations for the year ended 31 December 2020 was a loss after tax and minority interest for the period of $9.159 million (2019: $13.2 million loss).

Wameja Limited is a public company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:WJA) and the London Stock Exchange (AIM) (LSE:WJA).
The Company is partnering with Mastercard to build the HomeSend global payments hub. HomeSend enables cross-border transfer between bank accounts, cards, mobile wallets, or cash outlets from anywhere in the world. As a founding partner in the HomeSend hub, Wameja helped conceive and bring the opportunity to market. HomeSend is a joint venture of Wameja (35.68%) and Mastercard (64.32%).

Subsequent events
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID 19) pandemic is ongoing and while COVID -- 19 has been financially neutral for the Group up to 31 December 2020, it is not practicable to estimate the extent of the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the governments and authorities around the world, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.
Based on the information available to the directors as at the date of this financial report, there are no significant factors identified which would impact on the carrying value of the Group's investment in associate due to COVID-19. However, the directors consider that prolonged general economic impacts arising from COVID-19 may have a negative impact on the operations of the Group's associate. This in turn may impact the recoverability of the Group's carrying value of the investment in associate going forward.
Directors' report
Subsequent events (continued)
On 18 March 2021, Wameja Limited subscribed for a further EUR1,784,118 of shares in HomeSend SCRL. The equity contribution is part of a EUR6,000,000 capital raise with Mastercard agreeing to contribute an additional EUR1,000,000 over and above its proportionate interest in HomeSend SCRL. The funds from the capital raise are to be used to support the operational expenses of the HomeSend 2021 business plan and its minimum equity requirements into H2 2021.
No other matter or circumstance has occurred subsequent to year end that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Company, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the entity in subsequent financial years.
Future developments
To the extent that the disclosure of information regarding likely developments in the operations of the Group in future financial years, and the expected results of those operations is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the consolidated entity, such information has not been disclosed in this report.
Environmental regulations
The consolidated entity operates primarily within the technology and telecommunication sector and conducts its business activities with respect for the environment while continuing to meet the expectations of shareholders, customers, employees and suppliers.
During the year under review, the Directors are not aware of any particular or significant environmental issues which have been raised in relation to the consolidated entity's operations.
Dividends
No dividends were declared or paid during the financial year (2019: nil).

Board of Directors Audit Committee Directors Held (*) Attended Held(*) Attended Stephen Baldwin 5 5 2 2 John Conoley 5 5 2 2 Tom Rowe 5 5 - - Jamie Brooke 5 5 - - James Hume 5 5 - -
Held during term of director's appointment to Board, Audit Committee. The Remuneration and Nominations Committee was disbanded in January 2020 when the company ceased to have any employees.
Non-audit services
The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services, during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor's behalf) is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.
The Audit Committee assesses the provision of non-audit services by the auditors to ensure that the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 in relation to the audit are met.
Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor are outlined in Note 5 to the financial statements.
The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in Note 5 to the financial statements do not compromise the external auditor's independence, based on advice received from the Audit Committee, for the following reasons:
-- all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
-- none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 'Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants' issued by the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.
Auditor's Independence Declaration
The lead auditor's independence declaration under s 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on page 11 for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Rounding of Amounts
The Consolidated Group has applied the relief available to it in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors' Reports) Instrument 2016/191 and accordingly certain amounts in the financial report and the directors' report have been rounded off to the nearest $1,000.
Directors' report
Remuneration Report (Audited)
Determining remuneration policy for directors and key management personnel, and its relationship to Wameja's performance
The Company is listed on both the Australian Securities Exchange and the London Stock Exchange (AIM). It
is an international group which is faced with all of the market pressures that flow in such circumstances. It
must compete successfully with other international organisations that are substantially larger and which
have the ability to draw on enormous resources. Our employees are based in diverse parts of the globe and
regularly must travel to work in remote locations. The remuneration policies must be appropriate to these
circumstances.
In determining the appropriate remuneration policies for the Group, the Board believes that the salary
packages must be sufficient, in the international marketplace in which the Group operates, to attract, retain
and motivate high calibre, hard-working, dedicated employees, who have the knowledge and skills
appropriate for the business. In this regard, a component of the salary package for employees may be paid
after the results of a financial year are completed, and the entitlement is based primarily on the results
achieved by the Group. The Board's broad policy was implemented through its Remuneration and
Nominations Committee during the period that the Company had employees.
The Board had no executive management by 29 January 2020 (with all directors being non-executive from that date).
Director and other key management personnel details
The following persons acted as key management personnel of the Company and the Group during or since the end of the financial year:
-- John Conoley (Executive Chairman until 29 January 2020; now non-executive Chairman ) -- Stephen Baldwin (Non-executive director) -- Jamie Brooke (Non-executive director) -- Tom Rowe (Company Secretary and non-executive director)
-- James Hume (Chief Operational Officer until 29 January 2020; now non-executive director ) - appointed as a director on 23 October 2019
Except as noted, the named persons held their current positions for the whole of the financial year and since the end of the financial year.
Elements of key management personnel remuneration
Non-executive directors are paid directors' fees. The Board reviews the level of fees from time to time and sets individual non-executive directors fees based on the levels of fees for comparable listed companies in the appropriate parts of the world.
The non-executive directors are appointed by either the Board or shareholder vote and any appointment is subject to re-election on retirement required at Annual General Meetings.
Executive directors and other key management personnel remuneration comprise both Short Term Incentive (STI) and Long-Term Incentive (LTI) components. The STI takes the form of a cash bonus and the LTI comprises the issue of share options under the Wameja Limited Employee Share Option Plan.
a) No STI payments were made in 2020 or up to the date of this report.
b) The LTI (share option) component contains an element of reward to incentivise loyalty and continuity of
service to the Company through the vesting of options over a defined period with eligibility being dependent
on continued employment and performance of the Group.
Directors' report
Elements of remuneration which are dependent on Company performance
The performance options granted to the key management personnel are subject to the achievement of certain performance hurdles linked to the company's volume weighted average share price. These performance options have been granted to the Non-Executive Chairman and certain other management personnel and is in accordance with the Group's remuneration policy

-- Giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
-- Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report for the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group's annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020 but does not include the financial report and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
-- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
-- Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group's audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of compliance
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and comply with other requirements of the law.
The financial statements include the consolidated financial statements of the Group, comprising Wameja Limited (the Company/ Parent) and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year. For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements the Company is a for-profit entity. A description of the nature of the Group's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' report, which is not part of the financial statements.
Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes of the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on the date of the signing of the directors' declaration.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, unless otherwise stated below. Historical cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
The Company is a Company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial / Directors' Reports) Instrument 2016/191 dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with this Corporations Instrument amounts in the directors' report and the financial statements are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
The following significant accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation and presentation of the financial statements:
(a) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks, deposits held at call with banks and financial institutions and investments in money market instruments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition.
(b) Financial assets
All recognised financial assets that are within the scope of AASB 9 are required to be measured subsequently at amortised cost or fair value on the basis of the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets.
Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity and loans and receivables under AASB 9 that were measured at amortised cost continue to be measured at amortised cost under AASB 9 as they are held within a business model to collect contractual cash flows and these cash flows consist solely of payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
(c) Financial instruments issued by the Group
Debt and equity instruments
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( CONTINUED)
Transaction costs on the issue of equity instruments
Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the proceeds of the equity instruments to which the costs relate. Transaction costs are the costs that are incurred directly in connection with the issue of those equity instruments and which would not have been incurred had those instruments not been issued.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, recognising interest expense on an effective yield basis.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled, or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Trade payables
Trade payables are initially measured at fair value including transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
(d) Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax ("GST"), except:
i. where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or
ii. for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows.
(e) Foreign currencies
The individual financial statements of each group entity are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of each group entity are expressed in Australian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements.
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( CONTINUED)
Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation), which are recognised initially in other comprehensive income/(loss) and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on repayment of the monetary items.
For the purpose of presenting these consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group's foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income/(loss) and accumulated in equity (and attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).
Goodwill and fair value adjustments to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed through acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Exchange differences arising are recognised in other comprehensive income/(loss).
(f) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) (referred to as 'the Group' in these financial statements). Control is achieved when the Company:
-- has the power over the investee; -- is exposed, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and -- has the ability to use its power to affect the returns.
The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in consolidated profit or loss from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Non-controlling interest in the net assets (excluding goodwill) of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group's equity therein. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the non-controlling interest's share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the gain or loss on disposal recognised in profit or loss is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), less liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred to another category of equity as required/permitted by applicable AASB Standards).
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( CONTINUED)
(g) Share-based payments
Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant. Fair value is measured by use of either a Black-Scholes or binomial model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management's best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group's estimate of shares that will eventually vest.
(h) Investments in associates
An associate is an entity over which the group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.
The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with AASB 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the Group's share of the net assets of the associate, less any impairment in the value of individual investments.
Losses of an associate in excess of the group's interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the group's net investment in the associate) are recognised only to the extent that the group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
An investment in an associate is accounted for using the equity method from the date on which the investee becomes an associate. On acquisition of the investment in an associate, any excess of the cost of the investment over the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the investment, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.
The requirements of AASB 9 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Group's investment in an associate. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying amount, any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in accordance with AASB 136 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
(i) Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.
The following is the key assumption concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year:
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( CONTINUED)
Carrying value of equity accounted investment in HomeSend SCRL
The Group assesses impairment of investment in associate whenever the events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. Recoverable amount is measured at the higher of the fair value less cost of disposal or value in use.
Significant judgment is required in determining whether the recoverable amount of the equity accounted investment is in accordance with the relevant accounting standards.
In assessing the carrying value, the directors have considered the performance of HomeSend SCRL compared to the budget for the current financial year, the forecast future performance of the associate, and the indicative valuation based on the Scheme of Arrangement entered into by the Company on 10 September 2020.
Based on the directors' assessment there were no indication of impairment in the carrying value of the Group's investment in associate as at 31 December 2020.
(j) Going Concern
The consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the financial year ended 31 December 2020 reflects a loss after tax of $9.159 million (2019: $13.19 million), and the consolidated statement of cash flows reflects net cash outflows from operations of $1.400 million (2019: $4.823 million). The cash and cash equivalents balance of $8.014 million (2019: $11.636 million).
The Directors have prepared the cash flow forecast for the period through to 31 March 2022. The cash flow forecast indicates that the Group will have sufficient funding to operate as a going concern during the forecast period, and on this basis the Directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis.
(k) Segment Information
AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.
The Group operates in a single segment being the telecommunications software solutions business. Accordingly, all reported information in the financial report relates to this single segment.
(l) Issuance, Repurchased and repayment of Securities
During the year, the Company did not issue any shares (2019: nil).
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( CONTINUED)
(m) Income tax
Current tax
Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or tax loss for the year. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Current tax for current and prior year is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is accounted for in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items.
In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised.
However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not recognised in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year(s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when it relates to items credited or debited to other comprehensive income (loss) or directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income (loss) or directly in equity. Where it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( CONTINUED)
(n) New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted:
In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. The adoption of these new and revised Standards and Interpretations did not significantly affect the financial statements of the Group.
AASB 2018-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Definition of Material
These amendments are intended to address concerns that the wording in the definition of 'material' was different in the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting, AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.
The amendments address these concerns by:
-- Replacing the term 'could influence' with 'could reasonably be expected to influence'.
-- Including the concept of 'obscuring information' alongside the concepts of 'omitting' and 'misstating' information in the definition of material.
-- Clarifying that the users to which the definition refers are the primary users of general purpose financial statements referred to in the Conceptual Framework.
-- Aligning the definition of material across IFRS Standards and other publications.
AASB 2019-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - References to the Conceptual Framework
Makes amendments to various Accounting Standards and other pronouncements to support the issue of the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting.
Some Accounting Standards and other pronouncements contain references to, or quotations from, the previous versions of the Conceptual Framework. This Standard updates some of these references and quotations so they refer to the Conceptual Framework issued by the AASB in June 2019, and also makes other amendments to clarify which version of the Conceptual Framework is referred to in particular documents.
AASB 2019-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Disclosure of the Effect of New IFRS Standards Not Yet Issued in Australia
Amends AASB 1054 Australian Additional Disclosures to add a requirement for entities that intend to be compliant with IFRS standards to disclose the information required by AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (specifically paragraphs 30 and 31) for the potential effect of each IFRS pronouncement that has not yet been issued by the AASB.

a) Significant Accounting Policies Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which revenues and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements. b) Capital Risk Management The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The capital structure of the Group includes cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings. Operating cash flows is used to maintain and expand the Group's assets as well as to pay for operating expenses. c) Financial Risk Management Objectives The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial and exchange rate markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's performance. A risk management framework, including the policy on use of financial derivatives is governed by the Board of Directors. The Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. d) Market Risk The Group's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in market interest rates. There has been no change to the Group's exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risks from the previous period. e) Foreign Currency Risk Management The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies that are different to the functional currency of the respective entities undertaking the transactions, hence exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise which are recorded in profit or loss. The group may use foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge these risks. No such contracts were entered into during the current year (2019: nil). The material carrying amount of the Group's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the reporting date that are denominated in a currency that is different to the functional currency of the respective entities holding the monetary assets and liabilities are as follows: Assets Liabilities 31 December 31 December 31 December 2020 31 December 2019 2020 2019 $'000 $'000 $'000 $'000 External Group Exposure US Dollars - - - - Euro (Functional currency - Australian Dollars) 6,624 15,706 - - UK Pounds (Functional currency - Australian Dollars) 962 52 - -
Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements
16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
Foreign currency sensitivity analysis The following table details the Group's sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the functional currency against the relevant foreign currencies, which represents management's assessment of the possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items (arising from monetary assets and liabilities held at balance date in a currency different to the functional currency of the respective entities holding the assets or liabilities) and adjusts their translation at year end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. Profit or loss Consolidated Currency 31 December 31 December 2020 2019 $'000 $'000 External Group Exposure US Dollars - - Euro 662 1,571 UK Pounds 96 - The sensitivity includes external receivables and payables as well as inter-company balances with foreign operations within the Group where the denomination of the receivable or payable is in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective entity and the balance is expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future. For assets, a positive number indicates an increase in profit with the functional currency weakening against the respective currency. For a strengthening of the functional currency against the respective currency there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit, and the amounts above would be negative. For liabilities, the opposite would apply. In management's opinion, the above sensitivity analysis reflects the foreign currency risk changes as at reporting date. In addition, the Group includes certain subsidiaries whose functional currencies are different to the Group's presentation currency. As stated in the Group's Accounting Policies Note 1(f), on consolidation the assets and liabilities of these entities are translated into Australian dollars at exchange rates prevailing on the balance date. The income and expenses of these entities are translated at the average exchange rates for the year. Exchange differences arising are classified as equity and are transferred to a foreign exchange translation reserve. The main operating entity outside of Australia is based in France. The Group's future reported profits could therefore be impacted by changes in rates of exchange between the Australian Dollar and the Euro. f) Interest Rate Risk Management The Group's exposure to interest rate risk at 31 December 2020 is in respect of interest generated on deposits balances invested during the course of the year. Cash deposits yielded a weighted average interest rate of 0.001% for the financial year (2019: 0.001%). Interest rate sensitivity analysis The Group's net sensitivity to interest rate movements is not considered to be material to the Group. g) Liquidity Risk Management Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, who have built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

18. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
I. Notices of Potential Claim
In July 2019, Wameja Limited ("Wameja" or the "Company") sold all the issued capital of eServGlobal Holdings SAS and its subsidiaries ("eServGlobal") to Seamless Distribution Systems AB ("Seamless"). The sale comprised the effective sale of Wameja's operating business. The sale and purchase agreement ("SPA") included an indemnity under which Wameja agreed to indemnify and hold Seamless harmless against any direct loss, damage or liability related to the lack of renewed licences for eServGlobal's use of a specific third party's intellectual property ("the Indemnity"). The third party is the provider of software embedded in all deployments of eServGlobal's "Paymobile" platform, eServGlobal's primary product.
At the end of September 2020, Wameja received a notification of potential claim under the Indemnity from Seamless regarding an issue that had arisen between Botswana Telecommunications ("BTC") (an eServGlobal customer) and the third-party software supplier. Seamless subsequently issued another notice with their estimation of the exposure under the Indemnity across BTC and other eServGlobal clients.
An audit by the third-party software supplier of their intellectual property embedded in the Paymobile platform utilised by BTC commenced subsequent to year end. Based on the directors' assessment, the potential for a legitimate material claim under the indemnity in the SPA is unable to be determined at the date of this report.
At the date of this financial report, the directors consider there to be no present obligation or material exposure under the Indemnity on the basis that:
-- there has been no claim by the third-party software supplier against eServGlobal or Seamless arising from the non - renewal of licences, or any other matter, and
-- Seamless has not particularised the basis under the SPA upon which it believes that there is a potential claim under the Indemnity.
No provision has been recognised in the financial statements as at 31 December 2020.
II. Warranty claim
On 3 July 2020, the company received notification of a purported warranty claim from Seamless in relation to a French employee of eServGlobal SAS whose employment was terminated subsequent to completion of the sale of eServGlobal Holdings SAS to Seamless. The notification sought to claim EUR519,967 ($843,007) under the warranties contained within the SPA, being the amount including taxes, that the employee was seeking from eServGlobal SAS for compensation for loss of employment.
Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements
18. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)
The directors have assessed and considered the purported warranty claim to be without merit and have advised Seamless as such, and rejected the suggestion that the liability to the employee is subject to the warranties in the SPA.
At the date of this financial report, there has been no further correspondence from Seamless on this matter and the directors maintain their position that the purported warranty claim is without merit.
19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID 19) pandemic is ongoing and while COVID -- 19 has been financially neutral for the Group up to 31 December 2020, it is not practicable to estimate the extent of the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the governments and authorities around the world, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.
Based on the information available to the directors as at the date of the financial statements, there are no significant factors identified which would impact on the carrying value of the Group's investment in associate due to COVID-19. However, the directors consider that prolonged general economic impacts arising from COVID-19 may have a negative impact on the operations of the Group's associate. This in turn may impact the recoverability of the Group's carrying value of the investment in associate going forward.
On 18 March 2021, Wameja Limited subscribed for a further EUR1,784,118 of shares in HomeSend SCRL. The equity contribution is part of a EUR6,000,000 capital raise with Mastercard agreeing to contribute an additional EUR1,000,000 over and above its proportionate interest in HomeSend SCRL. The funds from the capital raise are to be used to support the operational expenses of the HomeSend 2021 business plan and its minimum equity requirements into H2 2021.
No other matter or circumstance has occurred subsequent to year end that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Company, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the entity in subsequent financial years.
