Brief explanation of Key Information and Dividends
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%).
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). Loss per share was 0.76 cents (2019: loss per
share 1.09 cents).
During the period, there was a net cash outflow of $3.366 million
(2019 year: net outflow of $15.5m) primarily resulting from
a net outflow from investing activities (mainly in relation
to investment to HomeSend) of $1.966 million. Cash at 31 December
2020 was $8.014 million.
On 10 September 2020, Wameja Limited entered into a Scheme Implementation
Agreement with Burst Acquisition Co. Pty Ltd, a company controlled
by Mastercard, for Burst Acquisition Co Pty Ltd to acquire all
of the issued capital of Wameja Limited for 0.08 per share by
way of a Scheme of Arrangement pursuant to Australian Law under
Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act ("the Scheme").
The Scheme has been delayed by the Notice of Potential Claim
issued by Seamless Distribution Systems AB referred to elsewhere
in this financial report ("the Notices"). The parties to the
Scheme Implementation Agreement are attempting to resolve the
issues raised by the Notices and are continuing to pursue completion
of the Scheme.

Review of Operations
This report is to be read in conjunction with other reports
issued contemporaneously.
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%).
The net result of the consolidated entity for the year ended 31
December 2020 was a loss after tax and minority interest of $9.159
million (2019: $13.2 million loss). Loss per share was 0.76 cents
(2019: loss per share 1.1 cents).
During the period, there was a net cash outflow of $3.366
million primarily resulting from a net outflow from investing
activities (mainly in relation to investment to HomeSend) of $1.966
million. Cash at 31 December 2020 was $8.014 million.
On 10 September 2020, Wameja Limited entered into a Scheme
Implementation Agreement with Burst Acquisition Co. Pty Ltd, a
company controlled by Mastercard, for Burst Acquisition Co Pty Ltd
to acquire all of the issued capital of Wameja Limited for 0.08 per
share by way of a Scheme of Arrangement pursuant to Australian Law
under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act ("the Scheme").
The Scheme has been delayed by the Notice of Potential Claim
issued by Seamless Distribution Systems AB referred to elsewhere in
this financial report ("the Notices"). The parties to the Scheme
Implementation Agreement are attempting to resolve the issues
raised by the Notices and are continuing to pursue completion of
the Scheme.
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).

above), the Company secretary, and all officers of the Company and
of any related body corporate against any liability incurred as a
director, secretary or officer to the extent permitted by the
Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits

permitted by the Corporations Act 2001.

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

Dear Board Members,
Auditor's Independence Declaration to Wameja Limited
In accordance with section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001, I
am pleased to provide the following declaration of independence to
the directors of Wameja Limited.
As lead audit partner for the audit of the financial report of
Wameja Limited for the year ended 31 December 2020, I declare that
to the best of my knowledge and belief, there have been no
contraventions of:
(i) the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations
Act 2001 in relation to the audit; and
(ii) any applicable code of professional conduct in relation to the audit.
Yours faithfully
DELOITTE TOUCHE TOHMATSU

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of
Wameja Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Wameja Limited (the
"Company") and its subsidiaries (the "Group") which comprises the
consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December
2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in
equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year
then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors'
declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group
is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
-- 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.

financial statements.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
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.
Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 5 to
10 of the Directors' Report for the year ended 31 December
2020.
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Wameja Limited, for
the year ended 31 December 2020, complies with section 300A of the
Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation
and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with
section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit
conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

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.

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.

The Group has an ownership-based remuneration scheme for
executive directors, key management personnel and employees of the
Group. In accordance with the provisions of the scheme, directors
and employees may be granted options to acquire ordinary shares in

period of service relative to the vesting dates, and in the case of
performance options, it is also dependent on performance
criteria.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements

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:

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.

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.

h) Credit Risk Management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default
on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to
the Group. The Group has adopted the policy of dealing with creditworthy
counterparties, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial
loss from defaults. The Group does not have any financial asset
impaired by credit risk.
(i) Fair value of the Group's financial assets and financial
liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring
basis
None of the Group's other financial assets and financial
liabilities are measured at fair value as at
31 December 2020 (31 December 2019: nil).
(ii) Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities
that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis (but fair
value disclosures are required)
The directors consider that the carrying amounts of the
financial assets and financial liabilities recognised in the
consolidated financial statements approximate their fair
values.

17. PARENT ENTITY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
(c) Guarantees entered into by the parent entity
Wameja Limited has not provided any guarantees in relation to
any of its subsidiaries.
(d) Contingent liabilities of the parent entity
There are no contingent liabilities for the parent entity.
(e) Commitments for the acquisition of property, plant and
equipment by the parent entity
There are no material commitments for the acquisition of
property, plant and equipment by the parent entity.
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.
