24、 Shareholders,As I reflect on the past three years,I am proud of the accomplishments achieved by our Company.Since we acquired New York-based EEG in May 2021,we have successfully transitioned our legacy human services business to offer a suite of AI-powered technology solutions to a diverse range of
25、 customers globally.This shift has enabled us to broaden our customer base,expanding into new segments and territories,and transition to more recurring,higher-margin revenue while increasing service quality and customer satisfaction.From FY22 to FY24 we increased our technology revenue at a compound
26、 annual growth rate(CAGR)of 35%,and we significantly improved our gross profit margins from 55%to 64%.In FY24,approximately 50%of our revenue is derived from technology sales,reflecting our ability to build a scalable business model while delivering sustainable growth.In FY24,total revenue grew 7%to
27、$66.2 million,and we saw a 24%increase on FY23 to Earnings Before Interest Tax and Depreciation(EBITDA)to$4.1 million.As we continue to drive adoption of our technology products,we remain committed to growing technology revenues and are targeting this segment to account for greater than 80%of total
28、revenue within the next 18months.The growth in technology sales in FY24 was driven by the successful launch of LEXI 3.0 in May 2023.LEXI 3.0 is a new and improved version of our flagship live automatic captioning solution that takes advantage of the latest innovations in AI.LEXI 3.0 delivers results
29、 that rival human captions at a fraction of the cost.It is capable of live captioning a wide range of content types from linear TV broadcasts,Over-the-Top(OTT),live sports,government and court proceedings,meetings,events and more.Captions are delivered through our encoders(hardware or virtual)and co
30、nnected to our iCap Cloud Network.This integrated end-to-end solution fits into our customers workflows,providing superior service for them and a competitive moat for us.During FY24,we were pleased to grow and diversify our revenue mix and customer base to include sports-rights holders,local,state a
31、nd federal governments and an increasing number of large enterprises and universities.To continue growing our technology sales and our iCap Cloud Network,we enhanced our global presence by expanding our sales team and increasing our attendance at key industry tradeshows,and we established new strate
32、gic distribution partnerships.These initiatives resulted in major new contract wins and renewals in FY24 and building out our sales pipeline for FY25.To drive future growth,we continued to invest in the Companys ongoing Research and Development(R&D)initiatives and leveraged new LEXI product releases
33、,including LEXI Disaster Recovery(DR)and LEXI Recorded,adding to our LEXI solutions suite and leading to additional cross-selling opportunities.By continuously incorporating the latest advancements in AI,we continue to offer market leading solutions,further strengthening and extending our defensive
34、moat.The triumphs over the course of the year would not have been possible without the dedication of the broader AI-Media team led by CEO and Co-Founder Tony Abrahams.I would like to express my gratitude for being nominated as Chair of the Company and recognise Deanne Weir for her stewardship in the
35、 Chair role over the past ten years.I have appreciated working alongside Deanne on the Board and on behalf of all Directors and staff,thank her for her valuable contribution and dedication over the years.Her efforts have been instrumental to our success.I would also like to thank my fellow Board mem

42、rd of directorsDirectors reportFinancial reportCorporate directoryCEOs letterDear fellow Shareholders,FY24 was a pivotal year in which AI-Media successfully transitioned the majority of its key customers in our core Live Captioning market from human Services to technology products and began to exten
43、d the AI-driven LEXI Toolkit beyond live captioning to the much larger language services market.Technology revenues accounted for half of the Companys total revenue ata gross margin of 85%,mainly driven by the uptake of LEXI solutions.With over 80%of FY24 revenue derived from Live Captioning product
44、s,the transformational performance of LEXI has accelerated the uptake ofa technology-only solution by an increasing number of customers,including broadcasters.The value proposition for LEXI is clear:LEXI offers superior quality,latency,security and resilience over traditional live human captioning a
45、t a fraction of the cost.LEXI TOOLKIT UPDATEAI-Medias value proposition is to embed the best AI language products within our customers existing workflows.For the first time in FY24,the quality of our AI captioning product LEXI overtook the significantly more expensive legacy human-in-the-loop Live C
46、aptioning workflows.This monumental milestone was achieved in Live Captioning first,and over the next few years we anticipate LEXI superseding humans in other products serviced by our LEXI Toolkit.In Q4 FY24 AI-Media launched innovative product LEXI DR(Disaster Recovery),an on-premise device providi
47、ng failover for cloud and connectivity issues.During the quarter,the Company sold 13 LEXI DR devices and 66 licenses to four different customers.LEXI DR is the final module required to remove the traditional requirement for humans as a backup or failover workflow,therefore as we continue to sell dev
48、ices,human services revenue will continue to decline.LEXI Recorded was also launched in FY24,offering fast and secure AI-driven captioning of media clips.The quality of LEXI Recorded already exceeds that of LEXI Live and has generated great interest from early adopters.With 100 times more recorded c
49、ontent than live content produced,the total addressable market for LEXI Recorded is considerably larger than the market for LEXI Live.Continuing to improve the quality and features of LEXI Recorded is a key product development priority for the Company.As we step into FY25,AI-Media will continue to i
50、nvest in our R&D initiatives and several product releases are scheduled throughout the financial year,including an upgrade to LEXI Translate and LEXI Library,and the first launch of AI-Medias LEXI Voice products,LEXI Audio Description,LEXI Voice and LEXIDub.CEO and co-founderTony AbrahamsAnnual Repo
51、rt 2024About AI MediaHighlightsChair&CEO letters06About AI MediaHighlightsChair&CEO lettersOPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTSAI-Media earns technology revenue from new encoder sales when a)a new customer is won;b)an existing customer replaces an old encoder;and c)when an existing customer adds additional encode
52、rs.In FY24,AI-Media sold over 800 hardware encoders to 50 new customers,and it was the Companys most successful year in terms of up-selling additional encoders to existing customers.Revenue from encoding hardware grew 40%year-on-year to$12.8 million in FY24,compared to$9.1 million in FY23.As we look
53、 to extend our market leading position from live closed captioning into other AIpowered language services,our ability to persist with increased encoder penetration will create exciting opportunities for revenue growth.AI-Media successfully implemented the monetisation of our iCap network for third-p
54、arty captioning agencies,previously supplied at no cost by EEG.Over the last three years,the iCap network usage grew at a CAGR of 18%and is estimated to contribute to over$1.6 million per annum.This will fund further improvements in the resilience of the network from 99.80%in 2021 at the date of EEG
55、 acquisition to a target of 99.999%in FY25(Five Nines).Between FY21 and FY24,the usage of LEXI products grew at a CAGR of 76%.This exceptional growth underscores the increasing effectiveness and demand for our technology solutions,specifically with improved accuracy and automation features.FINANCIAL
56、 PERFORMANCEIn FY24 technology represented 66%of our gross profit,with gross margin expansion reaching 64%in FY24,up from 60%in the prior corresponding year(pcp).EBITDA has also increased by over 24%,reaching$4.1 million,reflecting improved performance and growing technology revenue,while still allo
57、wing for growth investments in sales,product and engineering teams.Our successful transition away from legacy human Services has seen a reduction in operational expenditure for that product line.A large investment has been made during the year to grow our sales team,up by 13%on FY23.As we aim to pen
58、etrate new regions specifically in the Americas and EMEA as well as target growth in the enterprise and government segments,we will continue to invest in additional sales resources,trade show attendance,and product development,permitting us to remain at the forefront of the market in terms of innova
59、tion and to further advance our defensive moat.We achieved operating cash flow of$3.6 million signalling sustained performance and scalable growth potential within our technology business.Our inventories increased from a very low$0.9 million in FY23 to$2.4 million in FY24 as a direct result of a str
60、ategic decision to keep additional stock to meet latent customer demand.During the first half of the financial year,we paid the final instalment of$8.1 million related to the acquisition of EEG and ACS.While this reduced our cash position,we remain well positioned to execute on future growth objecti
61、ves with a solid cash balance of$10.9million.STRATEGY&OUTLOOKLooking ahead,AI-Media will continue to focus on expanding into new segments and territories and growing technology revenues at higher margins to improve the Companys overall profitability.Our future growth plans draw on three key strategi
62、c goals:1.Global expansion:harness our leadership position in North America and Australia to extend to EMEA,APAC and Latin America.2.Expand beyond broadcast:AI-driven language services have innate demand in Government,Enterprise and Education sectors.AI-Medias focus in coming years is to increase th
63、e percentage of revenue generated by sectors outside of broadcast.3.Drive adoption of new AI-powered LEXI products:Live Captioning represents less than 1%of the total addressable market by our LEXI Toolkit yet currently comprises 80%of FY24 revenues.Continuing to expand the LEXI Toolkit and grow sal
64、es outside of Live Captioning is our third growth goal.Our continued growth in building a vertically integrated ecosystem of customer workflows has been the cornerstone to our success and our accomplishments this year have set a strong foundation for continued growth.We remain committed to innovatin
65、g and enhancing our technology solutions to capture a greater share of the language services market.Our success and achievements to date would not have been possible without the dedicated AI-Media team,the wisdom of the Board,and the continued support of our customers.Thank you to our shareholders f

119、es of the Group.The strong growth in technology sales and the ongoing transition from human based services has led to material EBITDA growth.The improved accuracy of LEXI,the Groups automated captioning solution,has seen the successful transition of existing customers and the acquisition of new cust
120、omers.This is particularly evident in the Broadcast sector where the adoption of LEXI for live captioning has accelerated.The Group continues to grow its market share in this broadly defined area and anticipates this will continue in current and new markets.As at 30 June 2024,the consolidated statem
121、ent of financial position reflects a net asset position of$75,912,603(30 June 2023:$77,122,909).The EBITDA growth along with a strong balance sheet with minimal debt and a solid cash balance provides the Group the flexibility to execute on strategic initiatives.Directors report15Products&technologyG

127、 2024 reflects a net loss after income tax of$1,340,996(2023:$4,017,064)and the consolidated statement of cash flows reflects net cash inflows from operating activities of$3,566,414(2023:$3,477,003).As at 30 June 2024,the consolidated statement of financial position reflects a net asset position of$

129、 services,and comprised 50%of total revenue for the year(2023:39%).The Group,with a robust balance sheet featuring a cash balance of nearly$10.9 million,no debt and improving performance,is now well-positioned to confidently pursue growth opportunities as they arise.The directors have assessed that
130、based on the Groups position it is appropriate to prepare the financial report on a going concern basis.For further information,refer to note 2.Business risks The following is a summary of material business risks that could adversely affect the Groups financial performance and growth potential in fu
131、ture years and how the Group propose to mitigate such risks.Macroeconomic risks The Groups financial performance can be impacted by current and future economic conditions which it cannot control,such as increases in interest rates and inflation and foreign currency fluctuations.TheGroupstays abreast
132、 of these conditions,focuses on its internal debtor controls and diversifies its customer base by industry and geography and the natural currency hedge which all help to manage these risks.Directors reportAnnual Report 202416About AI MediaHighlightsChair&CEO lettersAbout AI MediaHighlightsChair&CEO
133、lettersAi-Media Technologies Limited Directors report 30 June 2024 Recruitment It is evident that the labour landscape has displayed a trend of increasing availability since COVID-19 within sectors such as technology,sales,operations,and professional services.However,labour market tightness persists
134、 as a noteworthy consideration.While inflationary pressures have also shown signs of stabilising,the consequences stemming from these pressures throughout the past year have led to a notable salary escalation of up to 10%beyond the initially budgeted projections for positions demanding professional
135、expertise or high-level skills.Competitive market and changes to market trends The Group operates in a highly competitive market.Innovation is constant and competitive superior products that may be released to the market could result in pricing pressures on our product suite and result in unfavourab
136、le product positioning within the market.The Group seeks to mitigate this risk through maintaining experienced product development teams that remain abreast of the latest technological advances,developing leading edge technology,building deep customer relationships and monitoring all potential compe
137、titive impacts on the business,and current and future products.Disruption to,or failure of,technology systems and software,including cybersecurity breaches The risk of system disruption,either malicious or accidental,is something that can never be completely mitigated against as technology and metho
138、ds of potential disruption are,by definition,constantly changing.We manage this risk in diverse ways,including utilising third parties to proactively review our environments and make recommendations for improvement,focusing on monitoring and reporting back so we can be aware of any changes as they h
139、appen(before causing noticeable disruption).This enables us to make certain that we have backups and methods in place to reproduce our data and materials from scratch in case a worst-case scenario does happen.Data protection and privacy laws Data protection and privacy laws are regularly being imple
140、mented and updated across many jurisdictions globally.This could be a risk if we are not aware of the changes or not able to comply and therefore,we need to make sure we are actively and constantly monitoring changes.We look to minimise this risk by basing our data protection and privacy standards o
141、n the most robust jurisdictions in order to aid in global compliance.Significant changes in the state of affairs There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year.Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year After the reporting period,a new direc
142、tor,Brent Cubis,joined the board.He was appointed on 1 July 2024.This event does not require adjustment to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024,but is significant for the ongoing operations and governance of the Group.No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2024
143、that has significantly affected,or may significantly affect the Groups operations,the results of those operations,or the Groups state of affairs in future financial years.Likely developments and expected results of operations With the success of LEXI Live now outperforming expensive human workflows,
144、the Groups growth strategy is focused on exploiting its strengths as the clear leader in the provision of the highest quality AI-driven live captioning in the North American and Australian markets to further grow in three key directions:Geographic expansion:utilise the leadership in North America an
145、d Australia to grow aggressively in EMEA,APAC andLatin America;Beyond broadcast:AI-driven language services have latent demand in Government,Enterprise and Educationsectors.AIMs focus in coming years is to increase the percentage of revenue generated by sectors outside of broadcast;and Drive adoptio
146、n of new AI-powered LEXI products:Continuing to expand the LEXI Toolkit and grow sales outside of LiveCaptioning into LEXI Recorded,LEXI Translate,LEXI Audio Description,LEXI Voice,LEXI Dub,LEXI DR and LEXILibrary.The Group will continue to drive organic growth,partnership opportunities for new sale
147、s channels and consider acquisition opportunities to accelerate sales momentum.Environmental regulation The Group is not subject to any significant environmental regulation under federal or state law within all the geographical locations the Group operate in.Directors report17Products&technologyGrow

180、 for the Group,in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning,directing and controlling the activities of the entity,directly or indirectly,including all directors.The re

182、determine the nature and amount of remuneration The objective of the Groups executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered.The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of v
183、alue for shareholders,and it is considered to conform to the market best practice for the delivery of reward.The Board of Directors(the Board)ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:competitiveness and reasonableness;acceptability to sh
184、areholders;performance linkage/alignment of executive compensation;and transparency.The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its directors and executives.The performance of the Group depends on the quality of its directors a
185、nd executives.The remuneration philosophy is to attract,motivate and retain high performance and high quality personnel.The Remuneration and Nomination Committee has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the Group.The re
186、ward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders interests.The Board has considered that it should seek to enhance shareholders interests by:having economic profit as a core component of plan design;focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth,consisting of dividends and gr
187、owth in share price,and deliveringconstant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value;and attracting and retaining high calibre executives.Additionally,the reward framework should seek to enhance executives interests by:rewarding capability
188、 and experience;reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth;and providing a clear structure for earning rewards.In accordance with best practice corporate governance,the structure of non-executive director and executive director remuneration is separate.Non-executi
189、ve directors remuneration Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role.Non-executive directors fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.The Remuneration and Nomination Committee may,from time to time,r
190、eceive advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure non-executive directors fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market.The chairs fees are determined independently to the fees of other non-executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market.The chai
191、r is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of his own remuneration.ASX listing rules require the aggregate non-executive directors remuneration be determined periodically by a general meeting.The most recent determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 9 August 2020

193、edia Technologies Limited Directors report 30 June 2024 Executive remuneration The Group aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility,with a level and mix of remuneration which has both fixed and variable components.The executive remuneration and reward framework has three co
194、mponents:base pay and non-monetary benefits;short-term performance incentives;and other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave.The combination of these comprises the executives total remuneration.Fixed remuneration,consisting of base salary,superannuation and non-monetary benefit
195、s,are reviewed annually by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee based on individual and business unit performance,the overall performance of the Group and comparable market remunerations.Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits(for example mot
196、or vehicle benefits)where it does not create any additional costs to the Group and provides additional value to the executive.The short-term incentives(STI)program includes salaries,annual leave and other short term incentive payments and is designed to align the targets of the business units with t
197、he performance hurdles of executives.STI payments are granted to executives based on specific annual targets and key performance indicators(KPIs)being achieved.KPIs include profit contribution,customer satisfaction,leadership contribution and product management.The long-term benefits includes long s
198、ervice leave.Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration Remuneration for certain individuals is directly linked to the performance of the Group.A portion of cash bonus and incentive payments are dependent on EBITDA targets being met.The remaining portion of the cash bonus and incentive
199、 payments are at the discretion of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.Refer to the section Additional information below for details of the earnings and total shareholders return for the last five years.The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is of the opinion that the continued improved res
200、ults can be attributed in part to the adoption of performance based compensation and is satisfied that this improvement will continue to increase shareholder wealth if maintained over the coming years.Use of remuneration consultants During the financial year ended 30 June 2024,the Group engaged the
201、use of remuneration consultants,Guerdon Associates,to benchmark its existing remuneration policies,including Executive and CEO remuneration practices,to ensure they adhere to the Groups practices noted above.The benchmarking was also used to analyse the peer group market and seek to improve both the

270、tion The accounting policies that are material to the Group are set out below.The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year,unless otherwise stated.New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The Group has adopted all of the new,revised
271、or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board(AASB)that are mandatory for the current reporting period.The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or positio
272、n of the Group.Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations have been adopted from 1 July 2023:AASB 2021-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Disclosure of Accountin
273、g Policies and Definition of Accounting Estimates AASB 2021-2 was issued in March 2021 and is applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.This standard amends AASB Standards to improve accounting policy disclosures so that they provide more useful information to investors and u
274、sers of the financial statements and clarifies the distinction between accounting policies and accounting estimates.Specifically,AASB 2021-2 amends:AASB 7 Financial Instruments:Disclosures,to clarify that information about measurement bases for financial instrumentsis expected to be material to an e
275、ntitys financial statements.AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements,to require entities to disclose their material accounting policy informationrather than their significant accounting policies.AASB 108 Accounting Policies,Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors,to clarify how entities shou

279、arising from a Single Transaction AASB 2021-5 was issued in June 2021 and is applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.The standard amends AASB 112 to clarify that the initial recognition exemption from the requirement to recognise deferred tax does not apply to transactions
280、for which entities recognise both an asset and a liability and that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.Such transactions include leases and decommissioning,restoration and similar obligations.For lease accounting,the implication is that where the entity has adopted an ac
281、counting policy that attributes the tax deduction as being directly related to the repayment of the lease liability,a deferred tax asset will arise on initial recognition of the lease liability,and a deferred tax liability will be recognised on initial recognition of the related component of the lea
282、se assets cost.Alternatively,where the entity attributes the tax deduction as being related to the consumption of the right-of-use asset,the deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset are both attributable to the recognition of the right-of-use asset and will net off resulting in no deferred tax
283、recognised.The amendments to AASB 1 require deferred tax related to such transactions to be recognised by first-time adopters at the date of transaction to AASBs.Comparative information Certain comparatives in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income have been reclassified to c
284、onform with the current year disclosure.The reclassification of the comparatives has not changed the net results for the prior year.Going concern The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of a
285、ssets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business and assumes the Group will have sufficient cash resources to pay their debts as and when they become due and payable for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial report.The consolidated statement of profit or los
286、s and other comprehensive income for the year ended 30 June 2024 reflects a net loss after income tax of$1,340,996(30 June 2023:$4,017,064)and the consolidated statement of cash flows reflects net cash inflows from operating activities of$3,566,414(30 June 2023:$3,477,003).As at30 June 2024,the cons
287、olidated statement of financial position reflects a net asset position of$75,912,603(30 June 2023:net asset of$77,122,909)and a net current asset position of$12,652,780(30 June 2023:net current asset of$10,395,527).While the Group continues to experience losses it is taking the necessary action to g
288、row revenue sustainably and ensure that it will become profitable in the near future.Based upon the growth of the business achieved to date,sufficient cash reserves at reporting date and after reviewing forecasts and projections prepared for the business,the directors are confident that it is approp
289、riate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.Basis of preparation These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board(AASB)and the Corporations
290、 Act 2001,as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities.These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board(IASB).Historical cost convention The financial statements have been prepared under the historica
291、l cost convention.Critical accounting estimates The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates.It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Groups accounting policies.The areas involving a higher degree of
292、 judgement or complexity,or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements,are disclosed in note 3.Parent entity information In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001,these financial statements present the results of the Group only.Supplementary information abou
293、t the parent entity is disclosed in note 30.Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Ai-Media Technologies Limited as at 30 June 2024 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended.Notes to the consol
294、idated financial statements Annual Report 202434About AI MediaHighlightsChair&CEO lettersAbout AI MediaHighlightsChair&CEO lettersAi-Media Technologies Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2024 Note 2.Material accounting policy information(continued)Subsidiaries are all tho
295、se entities over which the Group has control.The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to,or has rights to,variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity.Subsidiaries are fully co
296、nsolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group.They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.Intercompany transactions,balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated.Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the trans
297、action provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred.Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.A change
298、in ownership interest,without the loss of control,is accounted for as an equity transaction,where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.Where the Group
299、loses control over a subsidiary,it derecognises the assets including goodwill,liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity.The Group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of a
300、ny investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.Operating segments Operating segments are presented using the management approach,where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers(CODM).The CODM is res
301、ponsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.Foreign currency translation Foreign currency transactions Foreign currency transactions are translated into the Companys functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transac
302、tions.Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.Foreign operations The assets and liabilities
303、 of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date.The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates,which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions,for the pe
304、riod.All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.Revenue recognition The Group recognise

306、 with a customer;identifies the performance obligations in the contract;determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money;allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand
307、-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered;and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.Notes to the consolidated financial statements 35Products&technolog

309、counting policy information(continued)Variable consideration within the transaction price,if any,reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts,rebates and refunds,any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events.Such estimates are determined using
310、either the expected value or most likely amount method.The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not
311、 occur.The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability.During the year,variable consideration comprised of immaterial di
312、scounts to certain customers.Revenue from services Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over time for all live captioning,as customers simultaneously receive and consume captioning services as live captioned events occur.All recorded captioning is recognised at a point in time,a
313、t such time that the customers gains control of and derives the benefits from the completed captioned medium(s)produced and incurs the obligation to pay for completed captioning.Revenue from services primarily have payment terms of 30-60 days.Hardware Revenue from a contract to provide goods(compute
314、r hardware,parts,and hardware rentals)are recognised at a point in time based on the Incoterm Ex works which is a shipping arrangement where the seller makes product available for pick up at a specific location and the buyer pays for the transport costs.The goods are picked up for delivery and loade
315、d into the carriers vehicle which is when the title,risks and rewards pass from the seller to the buyer,and it is when the Company invoices the client.Software as a Service Software as a service(SaaS)are electronically delivered software that are categorized as single contract for services or multip
316、le deliverable arrangements depending on the terms of the license or subscription.Revenue is recognised either proportionally over the term of the license or subscription agreement,which is when the stand-alone performance obligation(s)are satisfied,or at the point of consumption,when the service is
317、 delivered based on usage.Interest Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method.This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate,which is the
318、 rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.Other revenue Other revenue is recognised at a point in time when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.Other in

320、able income tax rate for each jurisdiction,adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences,unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods,where applicable.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differen
321、ces at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled,based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted,except for:When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability
322、in atransaction that is not a business combination and that,at the time of the transaction,affects neither the accounting nortaxable profits;or When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries,associates or joint ventures,and thetiming of the reversal can be control
323、led and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeablefuture.Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and
324、 losses.Notes to the consolidated financial statements Annual Report 202436About AI MediaHighlightsChair&CEO lettersAbout AI MediaHighlightsChair&CEO lettersAi-Media Technologies Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2024 Note 2.Material accounting policy information(continu
325、ed)The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date.Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered.Previously unreco
326、gnised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities
327、 and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities;and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.Ai-Media Technologies Limited(the head entity)and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries hav
328、e formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime.The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts.The tax consolidated group has applied the separate taxpayer within group approach in dete
329、rmining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts,the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities(or assets)and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits
330、 assumed from each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group.Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group.The tax funding arrangement ensures that the
331、intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member,resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity.Current and non-current classification Assets and liabilities are
332、 presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.An asset is classified as current when:it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Groups normal operating cycle;it is held primarily for the purpose of trading;it is
333、expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period;or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.All other assets are classified as non-current.A liability is classified as current when:it is either expected to be settled in the Groups normal operating cycle;it is held
