Letter from our ChairmanFellow Shareholders,
It is with great satisfaction that I present to you the 2013 full year results for MyNetFone Limited. It has been another successful year for the MyNetFone Group. The company has achieved some very solid fi nancial results, as well as embarking on a new strategy of growth by acquisition.
Our consolidated group revenue increased to $46.2 million, up 21% from the previous year. Our EBITDA rose by 38% to $6.1 million, and our NPAT rose to 35% to $4.1 million. The company ended the year with our strongest balance sheet yet, comprising $4.8 million in cash and no bank debt.
This year’s success is attributed to strong growth in the MyNetFone Business and Enterprise segment and the Symbio hosted services segment. Both these segments are based on our strong intellectual property assets and produce a high margin recurring revenue stream – something we continue to focus on into the future. The outlook for the business is very positive with large potential across all business segments, providing security for our company through a very diverse base of revenue streams.
This year’s solid performance has allowed the board to declare an annual dividend of 3.5 cents per share fully franked – an increase of 52% over the previous year. The dividend is consistent with our track record of providing consistent returns to shareholders.
Achievements
During the year MyNetFone grew thanks to some incredible achievements thanks to the dedication and effort of our incredible team. The highlights of our achievements are:
• Tasmanian Government – MyNetFone announced in July 2012 that it had been selected by the Tasmanian Government to provide all of the Governments Voice-Over-IP communications. A contract worth up to $2M per annum in revenue and carrying over 100 million minutes of conversation voice per annum. MyNetFone has successfully deployed all infrastructure required for the project and in recognition of the successful deployment we have been awarded the CeBIT Project of the Year award by our IT&T industry peers.
• Acquisition of CallStream – In December of 2012 MyNetFone acquired the customer base of CallStream – an inbound communications specialist. Since then the customer base has been migrated to our own Symbio Network achieving signifi cant synergies. In addition MyNetFone has fully re-launched CallStream as dedicated cloud based Over-The-Top communications brand. A fi rst in the Australian marketplace using technology developed fully in-house.
• Acquisition of Connexus – In November 2012 MyNetFone acquired the Melbourne based ISP Connexus – a specialist in high quality business Internet solutions. With this acquisition came considerable intellectual property in the areas of cloud-based email, security and network monitoring, as well as a substantial business customer base. The company looks forward to re-launching these products later in the year and increasing its overall offering into the small to medium business segment with a feature rich IT and communications solution set.
• Acquisition of GoTalk Wholesale – In December 2012 MyNetFone acquired the wholesale network and business assets of GoTalk. This is by far the most strategic acquisition that served to remove a potential competitor and consolidate the number of fully interconnected voice infrastructure networks operating in the country from 8 down to 7. This was by far the most complex acquisition to tackle with massive infrastructure and legacy systems to be
3
integrated and rationalized. It is with a great sense of achievement that the company can claim that all customers have now been successfully migrated to the Symbio Network, and the process of shutting down the legacy network and realizing synergy benefi ts has commenced – well ahead of the 12 month forecast.
The Future
The company has been working hard behind the scenes to prepare itself for the next stage of its evolution.
The board has created a new executive management team headed by our co-founder Rene Sugo. This new executive management team brings together a wealth of experience from all corners of the Australian telecommunications industry; people who have decades of experience in their areas of specialization. This team will be the foundation for the next surge of growth for the company.
The company continues to seek sensible acquisitions that will deliver incremental value to shareholders. Our strategy is to fi nd opportunities that allow us to leverage our strong intellectual property assets, incredibly skilled team, and massive synergy potential of our nationally interconnected voice network.
In addition we continue to develop new technology and processes that will deliver new products and services into a market ripe with opportunity and change. Our strategy is centered on voice technology and applications, and we are constantly looking at how to push the boundaries of change in the market and capture new emerging revenue streams in an Internet enabled world. We are in a truly unique position to seize this new market opportunity as it emerges.
On behalf of the board, I would like to thank all of the staff and management team in achieving another great result for our company. The board continues to provide its full support to the team to ensure the company maintains its momentum and growth into the future.
I would also like to thank my fellow members of the Board of Directors for their hard work and dedication over the last 12 months. Their insight and vision has truly shaped an innovative and successful organization that stands out as a rapidly emerging player in the Australian telecommunications market.
Thank you for your continued and loyal support. The company is looking forward to a successful and rewarding year ahead.

Letter from our CEODear Shareholders,
What a wonderful year it has been for MyNetFone. This year has been dominated by very strong growth and record full-year results. Our EBITDA grew by 38% to $6.1M and our NPAT grew by 35% to $4.1M. In addition, the company managed to acquire three smaller service providers and largely integrate all their technology, operations and customers in a little over six months. These acquisitions, combined with our intellectual property and voice network infrastructure, lay down a foundation for a great year ahead.
Our company is unique in the Australian telecommunications market. MyNetFone is an independent operator, not relying on reselling of other companies networks or products, but rather building our own network and creating our own core products. Our fully integrated business is providing a genuine choice to consumers and businesses in Australia, by enabling them to utilise the benefi ts of the Internet for their real-time voice communications.
Our company has an incredible team of people. With 120 staff in four states of Australia, the MyNetFone team continues to perform with amazing creativity, unrelenting energy and speed. Stepping up to new challenges such as integrating acquisitions, developing new products and growing the existing customer base – all simultaneously and to the highest standard.
Our company is a leader in the next generation of voice communications. We are succeeding as a disruptive new entrant in an industry of giants: developing and implementing new ways of empowering consumers and businesses to use and manage their voice communications. From the earliest award winning implementation of “plug-and-play” easy to use Voice-Over-IP, to enabling consumers to port their phone numbers into the cloud, MyNetFone has never stepped back from a technical or commercial challenge.
The Future
The future for MyNetFone is bright and full of potential. MyNetFone is in a strong position and poised for organic and acquisitive growth. Our key strengths are: owning our own national voice network, owning the intellectual property and skills to build it and possessing a talented team to continue developing it. Combined with our excellent fi nancial position of no debt, strong cash fl ow and growing profi tability, MyNetFone’s best days are ahead of it.
Organic growth is still a key focus for MyNetFone. The market potential for cloud-based communications is still being realised by consumers and businesses. The time is now to educate them, and help them take their fi rst steps by moving the infrastructure and phone numbers into the cloud. To this end, MyNetFone is increasing the marketing effort and launching new specialised brands that clarify the choice for consumers.
Acquisitions are being sought to augment organic growth. MyNetFone has a very large voice network with ample capacity for additional customers and voice traffi c. The more customers and traffi c we can move onto this network, the more effi cient it becomes. To this end, we continue to look for acquisitions. Many acquisitions are considered, but only the ones that are a good technical fi t and represent good value are chosen. MyNetFone will stay focused on its key strengths.
A solid and ambitious strategy is only as good as the people implementing it. To continue our success and rapid growth, we need to make sure we attract and retain the best people. MyNetFone now has in place a hand picked senior management team to lead our highly qualifi ed and expert staff. Combining different backgrounds and many years of industry experience, our senior management team has already demonstrated its ability to bring together the
5
teams and resources and work towards achieving company goals. This team, together with myself, is entirely focused on the growth and success of MyNetFone.
All of us at MyNetFone are excited about the opportunities ahead and ready to grab them with both hands. We hope that you are equally excited to be a part of creating the future of MyNetFone.

About the MyNetFone Group
MyNetFone was founded in 2004 and was listed on the ASX in mid 2006. Since then, the Group has earned its stripes in the industry, experiencing rapid growth in less than a decade, from a new-comer to establishing itself as a peer to Tier 1 incumbents and the largest player in Voice-over-IP communications in Australia.
The MyNetFone Group has made the investment in building its own network and interconnecting with incumbent carriers. Stepping up as an independent equal to its longer-established peers, the Group challenged the status quo, while others relied on wholesalers and languished at the mercy of their anti-competitive resale and wholesale conditions.
While playing by the established rules, the Group is not buying into the status quo – instead, MyNetFone has chosen to be an advocate for technological innovation, encouraging consumer adoption and migration to new voice communications technology. As an independent player that has recently overcome the challenges to become a fully-fledged Carrier, the MyNetFone Group brings a fresh perspective on what changes the industry needs to keep pace with technological advancements.
The company’s success can be attributed to a focus on innovation, investment in developing intellectual property and a commitment to providing high-quality, Australian-based customer service. The Group has been recognised for its efforts, winning numerous awards including the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 and 500 (2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012), Money Magazine Product of the Year (2007), PC User Product of the Year (2005) and many others.

Continued investment in developing intellectual property is essential to remaining at the forefront of the IP communications revolution.
The MyNetFone Group believes in fostering innovation and challenging the status quo. Our teams are encouraged to examine prevalent processes and search for ways to improve them. Unlike other providers, we prefer to build our own systems from the ground up and to do it right, rather than adopting and adapting to existing systems.
As a result of this, there have been numerous breakthroughs that are unique to the MyNetFone network and the Intellectual Property of the company. Other providers choose our network at the wholesale level to gain access to these unique tools.
Why it matters
With market-leading systems already deployed and revolutionising the telecommunications landscape, the Group is so far ahead of the competition, that it is well positioned to expand its market share by reselling access to its unique systems to other providers.

Multi-Brand StrategyIn a communications market that is moving towards an increasing reliance on specialised services from Over the Top (OTT) providers, a ‘one size fits all’ approach is becoming unsustainable.
The MyNetFone Group has moved to take advantage of this developing market trend, establishing a multi-brand strategy initially built on acquisitions. Each brand in the MyNetFone Group portfolio targets a defined niche market with services designed to address specific customer needs. This allows the Group to diversify across markets and services, without diluting the core value proposition of any single brand. Our brands currently include CallStream, Connexus, Symbio Networks and the MyNetFone retail brand.

Technological innovation has led to the development of a wide array of communications services. It is now almost impossible for a single provider to deliver all the features & services under one brand and get the cut-through and recognition among consumers for each service. No one can ‘do it all’.
Therefore, consumers have started searching for expert brands that can deliver add-on services in the cloud over the top (OTT) of their existing core communications provider.
It’s All About the Numbers
MyNetFone is one of only seven providers of primary voice infrastructure in Australia, and the only one currently focused on facilitating the next generation of communications as consumers move to application-based social networks.
The key ingredient required to provide real-time any-to-any connectivity in the future will be the good old-fashioned phone number. Without phone numbers, consumers will find themselves isolated in small islands of social networks. Phone numbers will continue to be essential in providing a bridge between various application environments for the foreseeable future.
Phone numbers will also remain a key ingredient in business communications between businesses and their customers. Despite the rise of new alternatives such as social networks, email and web sites, nothing can replace the value of an interactive phone call with your customers and suppliers.

This will once again be driven by phone numbers, and businesses will need new ways of deploying their numbers to help their businesses adapt to the future.
Each of the MyNetFone Group’s brands leverages this insight and delivers services with number portability and number hosting, tailored to meet the specific needs of its particular market segment.
Meeting Customer Needs
Customers are increasingly looking to customise a tailored suite of services to meet their individual requirements. They want to be assured that they are dealing with specialists in any given field, whether it is 1300 numbers, high-performance data or hosted PBX.
This OTT cloud-based approach has several benefits for the consumer – flexibility to manage service features in real-time, quick deployment with no equipment expenses, and minimal impact on the rest of their communications setup.
Upselling and Cross-selling
The strategic benefit of nurturing multiple brands for the MyNetFone Group is that each one attracts a different range of customers. The opportunity then presents itself to cross-sell services from other brands and enable the customer to build a tailored solution that meets their needs.
A Unique Perspective
The Group is uniquely positioned to contribute to the industry, as the MyNetFone Group’s multi-brand ecosystem spans across network infrastructure, software platform development & direct retail brands. This gives MyNetFone unrivalled insight into existing and upcoming challenges across all levels of the market.
Combined with the company’s innovation-focused culture, this gives the Group a unique perspective and legitimate voice in the industry that can help shape the future of Australian communications.

Executive Team
The MyNetFone Group’s Commercial Business Unit is headed by Jon Cleaver, and was created with a clear goal to execute the multi-brand strategy and deliver rapid and sustainable growth for the company. By bringing together Sales, Products, Marketing and Network Information teams into one Business Unit, the company has ensured the customer is placed at the centre, as the uniting factor in all these teams’ functions. The Group’s unique ecosystem spanning retail, software and network is a clear differentiator in the market. It makes the Group agile enough to quickly adapt to market opportunities and remain a leader in this rapidly developing IP communications market. The strategic shift to a specialist multi brand strategy ensures this differentiation is commercialised to its full extent and clearly refl ected on the bottom line. The Commercial Business Unit’s mixed team of specialists and industry veterans, guided by Mr. Cleaver’s vision and experience, is already proving that the Commercial Business Unit is geared to successfully implement this strategy and absorb new brands and acquisitions seamlessly. At such a pivotal point in the telecommunications market, the MyNetFone Group is continually enhancing its core products, while innovating with ‘over the top’ (OTT) services. No other company in the Australian telecommunications industry has both the resources and vision to take advantage of these opportunities. The Commercial Business Unit’s driven and highly skilled teams will continue to lead the company to further accelerated growth.

Indika Nanayakkara, Chief Technology Offi cer
The Platform & Network (P&N) Business Unit has a key role to play in achieving MyNetFone Group’s objective to be the 3rd largest voice carrier in Australia. The P&N Business Unit is at the forefront of developing better voice communications services by reducing barriers and creating new cloud based technologies. This requires a departure from “traditional” voice network implementation approaches and embracing IP/cloud based technologies to provide innovative solutions for voice services. The P&N Business Unit is responsible for recent in-house innovations such as the Number Porting tool and Virtual PBX, and continues to refi ne and develop new features. The network must be confi gured to support a rapidly changing technology environment, which requires frequent changes while delivering uninterrupted services to customers. Mr. Nanayakkara’s technological expertise and leadership is focused on achieving these two main goals. This requires not just technological improvements and innovations, but also guiding a team of dedicated staff that have skills across multiple areas; supported by processes, procedures and practices that facilitate rapid changes with no impact on customers. While these are challenging goals, given the Group’s 10 year heritage in providing innovative IP based communications systems, MyNetFone is well positioned to achieve these objectives.

The Finance Business Unit plays a crucial role in supporting the business, by identifying and assessing growth opportunities and supporting the Board in making key strategic decisions. With the integration of recent acquisitions largely complete, the objective now is to leverage the acquired capabilities across the existing business and to begin taking full advantage of the multi brand strategy that we have undertaken. The Finance team will play a key role in providing critical insight into the performance of individual brands and the cross business implications of company strategy, allowing the Group to cost effectively deploy resources where they will deliver the highest return. Our overriding responsibility during this period of expansion, as always, is to ensure that a strong governance and control environment remains in place. Our goal is to continue to add shareholder value through a combination of organic growth and acquisition. We will assess opportunities as they arise and ensure that these are profi t accretive; add capabilities that enhance our customers’ experience; strengthen our network or further cement our position in the market. By following this strategy we will continue to strive to reward our shareholders with strong dividend and capital growth.
“Our overriding responsibility during this period of expansion, as always, is
to ensure that a strong governance and control environment remains in place”
The Operations Business Unit supports each of the Group’s brands and their customers, from residential VoIP and ADSL customers through to large multinational telecommunications companies. The one thing that all customers have in common, however, is a clear expectation that when they contact us, assistance is provided in a knowledgeable and timely manner. To this meet this goal, Mr. Dunscombe leads the Operations Business Unit in constantly reviewing and assessing its performance, identifying potential improvements and providing team members with ongoing training and skills development opportunities. As part of the commitment to constantly improve service metrics, the Operations team are focusing on implementing new technologies that will provide more accurate or faster analysis of customer support trends. These range from developing an online information hub each customer segment, containing diagnostic and rectifi cation information; through to introducing speech analytics software into our contact centres that will allow us to more quickly diagnose and resolve faults or recognise network events. As the Group’s brands continue to grow and evolve, so do the requirements placed on the Operations team. It is a constant and frequently demanding task, but one that presents a challenge relished by every member of Mr. Dunscombe’s team.
“Our role is to ensure that our customers maximise the benefi ts they receive from each solution that they
purchase from us”

Case Study
In July 2012, Tasmanian Government selected MyNetFone to supply Voice over IP (VoIP) carriage services to the state after a rigorous tender process. The ‘win’ demonstrated that Internet telephony has reached the maturity and scalability to service even the largest public and private sector organisations.
The Project in Brief
The Tasmanian Government left the traditional incumbent telco behind and made the move to next generation communications SIP technology to improve service levels and enhance productivity.
SIP Channels delivered by MyNetFone are fully-featured, next generation digital trunk services, which allow the Tasmanian Government to extend communication over IP to employees in all offi ces, regardless of whether they are located on a main site, at branch offi ces or even if working remotely.
The initial agreement term is for three years, with extensions up to ten years, for a total contract value expected to be worth up to $20 Million over the full term.
Progress Update
One year into the project, MyNetFone has achieved key milestones and delivered all infrastructure and commercial commitments as required by the contract.
The project has earned industry recognition, with MyNetFone winning the ‘Outstanding Project’ Category at the CeBIT Australia 2013 Awards for leadership in project management. The project, dubbed ‘Voice Services - Public Network Access and Carriage’, is the fi rst of its kind by any state government and one of Australia’s largest VoIP rollouts.
“MyNetFone is a young, energetic, innovative company which has proven it is capable to develop services that meet the Government’s requirements. This agreement will not only put the Government in a great position to meet the evolving needs of our communities, but will also contribute to the growth and diversity of the local industry with MyNetFone’s expanded operations and commitment to the state,” TMD General Manager, Piero Peroni said.
Government Focus
The company has been appointed to the Queensland Governments IT&T procurement panel and is working with several Government departments to trial VoIP solutions today. The company continues to work with other Federal, State and Local Government organisations to further the deployment of VoIP solutions at all levels of Government.

Case Study
Telecommunications is a fast-paced industry, but there are still many areas where operations fall far behind potential capacity due to outdated systems. As an example, many providers still manually process number porting orders & have designated staff to handle this process.
New Way of Porting
Instead of relying on the manual, time-consuming Local Number Porting processes in existence, MyNetFone Group saw an opportunity to streamline the process by developing a unique automatic Local Number Porting (LNP) tool under its Symbio brand, enabling swift and effi cient porting between networks and to the cloud.
Symbio did not stop at revolutionising the porting process, but went a step further to develop additional tools for wholesale customers that want the full B2B experience with the introduction of multi-level porting, and Porting API trial.The multi-level porting solution allows providers to reduce processing bottle-necks by empowering their sub-wholesalers to self-suffi ciently port numbers, while giving the provider full visibility and management control.
Wholesalers using the Symbio network now have access to multiple pathways to suit any porting volume:
• Ticket requests for low runrate• Online Portal • Multi-level Porting• API for high volume porting requirements
Gaining Ground
The Group has opened up the Number Porting Tool to the whole industry to use, facilitating wholesale and stimulating competition. As of 2013, there are 150 wholesale customers hosting 500,000 numbers in our cloud, with 280,000 of those numbers ported in just 12 months using the Group’s innovative LNP tool. Symbio now averages a run rate of 20,000 to 30,000 phone numbers ported in every month (not including conditioned or assigned numbers).
Our analysis of porting transactions in the industry shows that Symbio is now the 4th largest ‘gainer’ of ported numbers out of all the Australian carriers historically.
Approximately 80% of these DIDs are for wholesale customers. Thanks to the effi ciency of Symbio’s innovative Number Porting tool, providers are increasingly choosing to host their services on the Symbio network.
Long-term Play
In addition to investing in simplifying the porting process for the present, Symbio is also looking toward the future. Symbio remains actively involved in regulatory porting reform, and lends its voice and unique perspective to help shape the future of numbering in Australia.

Enabling High-Capacity Digital Business
Challenge
Xelon Entertainment is a prominent global digital distributor of music and video located in Richmond, Melbourne. They cover over 400 digital platforms, work alongside major international and local music festivals and are distributors of some of the top grossing brands and labels in the music industry.
The business of digital music and video distribution is heavily dependent on high performing internet services. Prior to Connexus Internet, Xelon Entertainment used a dual ADSL2+ connection to try and keep up with their high capacity uploads and large fi le sharing.
They found their original solution was not providing suffi cient upload speed or connection reliability the company needed. Xelon’s content distribution wasn’t as fast as it could have been, as the service was unable to keep up with the upload rate and fi le size. Additionally, internet glitches or dropouts resulted in the halting of projects, which hindered business operations.
Xelon Entertainment knew this translated to valuable time and resources being wasted, so they sought a new solution.
Connexus Solution
• 20Mbps/20Mbps Ethernet Service
Connexus Ethernet is a symmetrical service, providing matching data speeds for both downloads and uploads.
Therefore it is ideal for Xelon Entertainment, who can now upload their music and video content while simultaneously downloading projects at the same speed.
The Ethernet service performs at ultra low latencies, allowing for a continuous data fl ow, particularly benefi cial for Xelon Entertainment who need to move large amounts of data regularly.
With Connexus, Xelon Entertainment has gained a reliable and fast streaming internet solution. Xelon Entertainment can now upload and distribute their clients’ work more effi ciently, whilst eliminating the risk of internet dropouts disrupting their business operations.
Benefi ts
Signifi cantly increased upload & download speeds - upload speeds up to 20 times faster than their previous service. This considerably improved Xelon Entertainment’s turn-around when loading content to platforms such as iTunes, enabling them to get projects fi nished faster and take more clients onboard.
Eliminated connectivity anxiety - Best of breed technology and business-grade service level agreements mean Xelon Entertainment no longer needs to be concerned with internet outages disrupting their business operations.
Low Contention - a 1 to 1 contention ratio on the Connexus network means that Xelon can now benefi t from faster streaming broadband, as they no longer had to share their bandwidth with other network users.
Local customer support - Xelon have the peace of mind, that if any issues were to arise they are covered by responsive, highly skilled team, located here in Australia.
“Our Connexus connection is an integral part of business, backed up with high level service, and fl awless system reliability,” Ashley Gay, Director (Artist & Repertoire) at Xelon Entertainment Pty Ltd

Principal activities and significant changes in nature of activities
The principal activity of the MyNetFone Group is providing voice communications, broadband Internet, and cloud based communications services to residential, business, government and wholesale customers in Australia and internationally.
In the financial year the MyNetFone Group derived revenue from the sale of the above mentioned communications services. These fees consist of recurring charges for access to facilities and capabilities, as well as consumption charges for variable usage of those facilities. There was also revenue derived from the sale of hardware equipment and consulting services to support the primary products of the business.
The overall nature of the business has not changed during the financial year.
The business undertook three material acquisitions during the financial year – CallStream, Connexus and GoTalk Wholesale. These three acquisitions were all highly synergistic with the current lines of business, and were revenue and profit accretive during the financial year. Integration of these acquisitions is well underway, and in some cases complete.
Operating result
Net profit after tax (NPAT) for the MyNetFone Group for the financial year ending 30 June 2013 was $4.1 million, an increase of 34.9% on the previous year NPAT of $3.1 million.
A review of the operations of the entity during the financial year and the results of those operations are as follows:
Increased Revenue, EBITDA and NPAT
For the year ended 30 June 2013 the Group delivered gross revenue of $46.2 million and an EBITDA of $6.1 million. The results were achieved through a combination of organic growth of existing business units and the acquisition of three businesses during the year: CallStream, Connexus and GoTalk Wholesale.
The gross profit for the year was $17.6 million (2012: $12.8 million) which was achieved by revenue growth and reduced cost of goods sold.

During the year the Group generated operating cash flows of $6.0 million (2012: $3.9 million).
Operations and financial review
The business is in a solid position with strong prospects for further growth in the coming year.
1. Operations
a. Government Business
The contract signed with the Tasmanian Government in July of 2012 has not yet produced forecast revenues due to delays in transitioning of services by the Government. These delays are due to factors outside of the control of the company, and the company has delivered all infrastructure and commercial commitments as required by the contract. The company still believes this contract will yield close to $2M per annum in gross revenue, however due to the above mentioned delays it is most likely that the full revenue will not be achieved until FY15.
The company has adopted an overall strategy to pursue further Government business as VoIP technology increases its foothold in all levels of Government. The company has many key technical and commercial differentiators that make it an ideal alternative to the traditional telecommunications providers.
The key technical differentiators for the company are: the Symbio Network that is one of only 7 fully interconnected infrastructure based voice networks in Australia, Symbio also has the people and systems in place to deliver highly complex deployments quickly and effectively, and Symbio also owns a vast bank of intellectual property allowing it to rapidly customise and deploy large complex solutions for customers; these differentiators were demonstrated with the recent Tasmanian Government project. The company was awarded the CeBIT Outstanding Project Award in recognition of its achievements by the IT&T industry in Australia.
The company also maintains several key certifications with leading enterprise grade equipment vendors such as: Microsoft, Cisco, Avaya, Samsung and Panasonic. The company is still the only carriage service provider in Australia certified by Microsoft for the Lync unified communications platform, as well as being a Microsoft Silver UC Solutions Partner.
The company has been appointed to the Queensland Government’s IT&T procurement panel and is working with several Government departments to trial VoIP solutions today. The company continues to work with other Federal, State and Local Government organisations to further the deployment of VoIP solutions at all levels of Government.

Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2013 (continued)
22
b. CallStream Acquisition
The acquisition of inbound call specialist CallStream was announced in November 2012 and completed on 31 December 2012. The acquisition was for $585,000 in cash, and was expected to yield $1M per annum in gross revenue and $600,000 in EBITDA after synergies.
The integration process is almost complete, with 100% of customers and traffic to be migrated to the Symbio Network by the end of August 2013.
The company has chosen to re-launch the CallStream brand as a fully-cloud based inbound communications brand. This brand will be used to target the small to medium business segment in Australia with a network independent inbound communications solution, allowing the company to target businesses irrespective of their infrastructure preferences. This is an innovative approach that will provide a new area of revenue and profit growth for the company.
The business acquired under the CallStream acquisition will be reported under the Business and Enterprise market segments.
c. Connexus Acquisition
The acquisition of Melbourne based business ISP specialist Connexus was announced in November 2012 and completed on 31 December 2012. The acquisition was for $4.75M in cash, and was expected to yield $5.2M per annum in gross revenue and $2.1M per annum in EBITDA after synergies.
The integration process has commenced and is still progressing with network integration to be completed by December 2013.
The company has chosen to maintain the Connexus brand as a business specialist ISP brand. This brand will target multi-site business customers who need data and voice infrastructure. The brand will be strengthened by the addition of business grade Voice-Over-IP services to its portfolio. Cross selling of VoIP services into the Connexus customer base has already commenced with very positive results. This activity will continue throughout the year.
The company will also be looking to take some high value intellectual property that it acquired with Connexus and launch separate independent brands to focus on cloud-based email, domain name, and website and security products.
The business acquired under the Connexus acquisition will be reported under the Business and Enterprise market segments.
d. GoTalk Acquisition
The acquisition of the wholesale voice business and network assets of GoTalk was announced in December 2012 and completed on 31 December 2012. The acquisition was for $1.4M in cash, and was expected to yield $19M per annum in gross revenue and $400,000 per annum in EBITDA before synergies.
This acquisition was a strategic and defensive move to remove one Carrier Access Code (CAC) and interconnected voice network from the Australian marketplace. The acquisition also delivered 40 wholesale customer contracts with 1.2 Billion minutes of voice traffic per annum.
This acquisition was the most challenging to integrate due to the large number of disparate legacy systems in the GoTalk Wholesale network, a lack of reporting and management systems, and the large traffic volumes to be migrated with no disruption. The integration process has however been progressing well with all customer traffic moved to the Symbio network by the end of August 2013. The next stage of the integration is the gradual dismantling of the legacy GoTalk Wholesale network that is expected to be completed by December 2014, and yield up to $2M per annum in synergy savings.
During integration it was found that there was a large amount of non-profitable business being carried on the network. The company took immediate steps to remedy the situation and terminate negative margin business and/or increase prices to customers. The result is that run rate revenue has reduced to approximately $12M per annum
My Net Fone Limited | ABN 37 118 699 853 and Controlled Entities
Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2013 (continued)
23
post-integration; however gross margin has not been affected, and in some cases has improved.
The business acquired under the GoTalk Wholesale acquisition will be consolidated under the Symbio Networks brand, and will be reported as part of the wholesale voice and wholesale managed services segments.
e. Business and Enterprise
Apart from new Business and Enterprise revenues acquired through the above mentioned acquisitions, the MyNetFone Virtual PBX product continues to sell strongly into the small business market, and the MyNetFone SIP Trunk product continues to sell strongly into the enterprise market. These products are now mature and stable, and achieving a very high level of customer satisfaction. Growth is expected to remain strong for the foreseeable future.
The company continues to develop new features and functionality which is expected to provide further ARPU growth and customer retention. The longer-term growth in this market segment will be further strengthened by the re-launch of the CallStream brand, as well as the upcoming re-launch of the cloud based IT services acquired with the Connexus acquisition.
The business subscriber base is now at 2,000 Virtual PBX and SIP trunk services, 5,600 business voice services, and 3,000 business data services in operation.
f. Residential
The residential voice market is declining due to the market shift towards mobile communications and mobile-cap plans. The company however has been implementing a defensive strategy of cross selling residential DSL services into this customer base. This action has stemmed the decline in revenues and provided a useful retention tool.
In addition to the above defensive strategy, the company has identified a new opportunity for growing the residential market whilst leveraging our network assets and capabilities. As a result MyNetFone acquired the business assets and intellectual property of The Buzz Corp Pty Ltd, a niche residential voice service provider. This acquisition was not financially material. The company intends to re-launch the Buzz Box product later this year and it is expected to drive new growth in the residential landline market.
The residential DSL subscriber base is now approaching 9,000 services in operation, and the VoIP base is at 87,000 services in operation.
g. Wholesale
The wholesale voice market sold under the Symbio Networks brand remains a key profit area for the company. The two key products sold into this segment are wholesale voice (the termination of high volume wholesale voice minutes), and the wholesale managed-services (hosting of white-label services such as Local Number Portability, voice end-points, phone numbers, and other value added services).
These products leverage the extensive fully interconnected national voice network that is also used to carry the MyNetFone retail traffic, in addition to an extensive amount of proprietary intellectual property which has been developed by the company over the last 10 years.
The wholesale network is currently hosting over 140 service provider customers, comprising over 250,000 voice end-points, 300,000 ported-in phone numbers and over 600,000 newly issued phone number services. Total billable traffic on network is approximately 3 Billion minutes per annum.
2. Financial position
The net assets of the company have strengthened with an increase to $10.8 million as at 30 June 2013 (2012: $2.6 million).
3. Future developments
The Board is committed to growing the company organically as well as by way of trageted acquisition.
My Net Fone Limited | ABN 37 118 699 853 and Controlled Entities
Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2013 (continued)
24
The company has a strict policy around the evaluation of acquisition targets; we will continue to look to build value through leveraging synergies, adding products and services through the acquisition of intellectual property and avoiding companies that are pure re-sellers of other networks.

Remuneration Report Audited
Remuneration philosophy
The remuneration philosophy of the Board is currently to recognise that in the early stage of growth the company needs to contain operating costs and so the salaries established for the executive directors are negotiated at rates below market levels that would normally be available to persons with such experience and qualifications. At this time the Board has established salary arrangements for the key executives which are commensurate with their level of experience. As the company matures the Board will review its approach to setting remuneration levels by balancing short and long term benefits and linking remuneration to performance. The Board may issue options to employees under the Company Employee Option Plan as set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Remuneration details of key management personnel for the year ended 30 June 2013
For all the Key Management Personnel, only basic salaries and fees and superannuation were granted during the year, no other short term benefit, long term benefit and performance related or share based payment were paid in the year except for the options disclosed above. No bonuses were granted during the year.
Details of the nature and amount of benefits and payments for each director of the Company and each of the named company executives who receives the highest remuneration are:
Securities received that are not performance related
No members of key management personnel are entitled to receive securities which are not performance based as part of their remuneration package.
Key terms of employment agreements
The Company has entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with Rene Sugo. The remuneration and terms of employment for other Key Executives are also set out in written agreements. Each of these employment agreements are unlimited in term but may be terminated by written notice by either party and by the Company making payment in lieu of notice.
Each of these agreements sets out the arrangements for total fixed remuneration, performance-related cash bonus opportunities, superannuation, termination rights and obligations and eligibility to participate in the employee equity-based incentive scheme. Executive salaries are reviewed annually. The executive employment agreements do not require the Company to increase base salary, incentive bonuses or to continue the participants’ participation in equity-based incentive programs.

Corporate Governance StatementThe Board of Directors of My Net Fone Limited is responsible for the corporate governance practices of the consolidated entity. The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of My Net Fone Limited on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable.
This statement outlines the main corporate governance practices adopted by the Company, which comply with the ASX Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations (2nd Edition, August 2007) unless otherwise stated.
Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight
The board’s primary role is the protection and enhancement of long term shareholder value. To fulfil this role, the board is responsible for the overall corporate governance of the Group including formulating its strategic direction, approving and monitoring capital expenditure, setting senior executive and director remuneration, establishing and monitoring the achievement of management’s goals and ensuring the integrity of risk management, internal control, legal compliance and management information systems. It is also responsible for approving and monitoring financialreporting. The board has delegated responsibility for the day to day operation and administration of the Company to the Chief Executive Officer.
Principle 2: Structure the board to add value
The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of director held by each director in office at the date of the annual report is included in the Directors’ Report. Directors of My Net Fone Limited are considered to be independent when they are independent of management and free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgement.
The membership of the board during the year ended 30 June 2013, including independent status, and date of appointment was as follows:
Recommendation 2.1 requires that a majority of the Board should be independent directors. The Company does not comply with this recommendation. The Board is 50% independent. Whilst the Company agrees with the benefits of a majority independent Directors, it believes that it can better achieve the results of the Company with the current Board’s level of expertise without burdening shareholders with the additional costs associated with adding further independent Directors.
Recommendation 2.2 requires the Chairman be an independent Director. The Company complies with this recommendation. The Company believes that when the Chairman is a significant driver behind the business as well as being a shareholder, he adds much value to the Company.
Recommendation 2.3 requires that the role of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company is not exercised by the same individual. The Company complies with this recommendation.

A performance evaluation for the Board and senior executives has taken place in the reporting period.
The Board Committees
Nomination Committee
Recommendation 2.4 states that the board should establish a Nomination Committee. Due to the size of the Company it has not established a formal Nomination Committee and the functions of the Nomination Committee are undertaken by a full Board.

Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision making
The Board expects all Executive and Non-Executive Directors to act professionally in their conduct and with the utmost integrity and objectivity. All Executive and Non-Executive Directors must comply with the Company’s Code of Conduct and Ethics. (Recommendation 3.1)
The company encourages Directors to have a significant personal financial interest in My Net Fone Limited by acquiring and holding shares on a long-term basis. Insider trading laws prohibit Directors and their associates from dealing in the Company’s shares whilst in possession of price sensitive information that is not generally available. Once the Directors have traded in shares or otherwise dealt with any securities, they should immediately disclose this to the Board and Company Secretary to facilitate appropriate disclosure with the ASX. A Director or an entity controlled by Directors is not permitted to purchase or sell shares in the Company at other times without prior consent of the Board. This policy does not preclude a Director or an entity controlled by a Director from taking up or renouncing an entitlement to the Company’s shares or participating in the Company’s Share Purchase Plan or the Dividend Reinvestment Plan. (Recommendation 3.2)
Diversity Policy
Diversity includes, but is not limited to: gender, age, ethnicity and cultural background. The company is committed to diversity and recognises the benefits arising from employee and board diversity and the importance of benefiting from all available talent. However, due to the size of the company it is not in a position to justify the establishment of a formal diversity policy.
The Board has developed measurable objectives for achieving diversity, and annually assess both the objectives and the progress in achieving those objectives. Accordingly, the Board has developed the following objectives regarding gender diversity and aims to achieve these objectives over the next two years as Director and senior executive positions become vacant and appropriately qualified candidates become available:

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
b. Adoption of new and revised accounting standardsThe AASB has issued a number of new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods, some of which are relevant to the Group. The Group has decided not to early adopt any of the new and amended pronouncements. The Group’s assessment of the new and amended pronouncements that are relevant to the Group but applicable in future reporting periods is set out below:
(i) AASB 9: Financial Instruments (December 2010) and AASB 2010–7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).
These Standards are applicable retrospectively and include revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, as well as recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments.
The Group has not yet been able to reasonably estimate the impact of these pronouncements on its financial statements.
(ii) AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements, AASB 11: Joint Arrangements, AASB 12: Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, AASB 127: Separate Financial Statements (August 2011) and AASB 128: Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (August 2011) (as amended by AASB 2012–10: Amendments to Australia Accounting Standards – Transition Guidance and Other Amendments), and AASB 2011–7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).
AASB 10 replaces parts of AASB 127: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (March 2008, as amended) and Interpretation 112: Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. AASB 10 provides a revised
My Net Fone Limited | ABN 37 118 699 853 and Controlled Entities
38
definition of “control” and additional application guidance so that a single control model will apply to all investees. This Standard is not expected to significantly impact the Group’s financial statements.
(iii) AASB 12 contains the disclosure requirements applicable to entities that hold an interest in a subsidiary, joint venture, joint operation or associate. AASB 12 also introduces the concept of a “structured entity”, replacing the “special purpose entity” concept currently used in Interpretation 112, and requires specific disclosures in respect of any investments in unconsolidated structured entities. This Standard will affect disclosures only and is not expected to significantly impact the Group’s financial statements.
To facilitate the application of AASBs 10 and 12, revised versions of AASB 127 and AASB 128 have also been issued. The revisions made to AASB 127 and AASB 128 are not expected to significantly impact the Group’s financial statements.
(iv) AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011–8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13 (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013). AASB 13 defines fair value, sets out in a single Standard a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurement.
AASB 13 requires:- inputs to all fair value measurements to be categorised in accordance with a fair value hierarchy; and- enhanced disclosures regarding all assets and liabilities (including, but not limited to, financial assets and
financial liabilities) to be measured at fair value.
These Standards are expected to result in more detailed fair value disclosures, but are not expected to significantly impact the amounts recognised in the Group’s financial statements.
(v) AASB 2011–4: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements (applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2013).
This Standard makes amendments to AASB 124: Related Party Disclosures to remove the individual key management personnel disclosure requirements (including paras Aus29.1 to Aus29.9.3). These amendments serve a number of purposes, including furthering trans-Tasman convergence, removing differences from IFRSs, and avoiding any potential confusion with the equivalent Corporations Act 2001 disclosure requirements. This Standard is not expected to significantly impact the Group’s financial statements.
(vi) AASB 119 (September 2011) includes changes to the criteria for determining when termination benefits should be recognised as an obligation. This Standard is not expected to significantly impact the Group’s financial statements.
(vii) AASB 2012–5: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Annual Improvements 2009–2011 Cycle (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013). This Standard amends a number of Australian Accounting Standards as a consequence of the issuance of Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2009–2011 Cycle by the International Accounting Standards Board, including:- AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting to clarify the
requirements for presenting comparative information;- AASB 134 to facilitate consistency between the measures of total assets and liabilities an entity reports for
its segments in its interim and annual financial statements.
This Standard is not expected to significantly impact the Group’s financial statements.
c. Principles of consolidationThe consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by My Net Fone Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which My Net Fone Limited has the ability and right to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity’s activities. Control will generally exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also considered.
My Net Fone Limited | ABN 37 118 699 853 and Controlled Entities
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statement (continued)
39
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity.
Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities are included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 19 to the financial statements.
d. Business combinationBusiness combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more business and results in the consolidation of its assets and liabilities. All business combinations, including those involving entities under common control, are accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
Consideration transferred for the acquisition comprises the fair value of the assets transferred, liability incurred and the equity interests issued by the acquirer. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Any deferred consideration payable is discounted to present value using the entity’s incremental borrowing rate. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill is stated after separate recognition of identifiable intangible assets. It is calculated as the excess of the sum of fair value of consideration transferred, over the acquisition-date fair values of identifiable net assets.
e. Going concernThe financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. This presumes that funds will be available to finance future operations and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities will occur in the normal course of business.
For the year ended 30 June 2013 the Group generated profit after tax of $4,141k (2012: $3,069k), as at the balance date the Group’s total assets exceeded total liabilities by $10,777k (2012: $2,555k).
Included in the current liabilities is $1,145k (2012: $1,053k) of deferred revenue that will be recognised as revenue when customers’ credits are progressively used up. This deferred revenue does not represent a gross cash outflow.
The Directors believe that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate due to the expected cash flows to be generated by the Group over the next twelve months. The Directors will closely monitor cash flows as the Group grows and if revenues do not increase as expected, the Directors will look to contain costs. The Directors believe that these actions, if required, will be sufficient to ensure that the company will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due for the next twelve months.
Notwithstanding the above, the Directors acknowledge that there are a number of risk factors that could materially affect the Group’s future profitability and cash flows, which include, but are not limited to:
(i) CompetitionThere can be no assurance given in respect of the Group’s ability to continue to compete profitably in the competitive markets in which the Group operates. The potential exists for change in the competitive environment in which the Group operates.
(ii) Management of growthThe Group achieved a profit during the year, however, there is still a risk the Group will have insufficient working capital to meet its business requirements and the expansion of the Group will depend upon the ability of management to implement and successfully manage the Group’s growth strategy.
(iii) Reliance on key managementThe responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and strategic management of the Group is substantially dependent upon its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Group if one, or a number of, these employees cease their employment.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statement (continued)

(iv) New products and technological developmentsThe Group’s current core business of broadband telecommunications is highly competitive and is subject to the introduction of new and improved products and services into the market on a regular basis.
(v) Broadband Access ArrangementsThe Group currently has certain access to the Internet backbone network. Terms of the supply of broadband are negotiated regularly. There is no guarantee that future access arrangements will be able to be negotiated on commercially acceptable terms.
(vi) Distribution Channels and Device SuppliersThe Group benefits from its good working relationship with its distribution channels to promote its products and services and with its device suppliers to provide its VoIP adaptors. There is no guarantee that these relationships will continue in the future.
(vii) Legislation, Regulation and PoliciesAny material adverse changes in government or other regulatory organisation policies or legislation which impacts on the telecommunications industry, may affect the viability and profitability of the Group.
(viii) Internet AccessThe use of VoIP technology is dependent on quality and speed of access to the Internet. The market growth of VoIP may be limited by the take up rate of broadband and other fast Internet access or by the quality of such access.
f. Reverse acquisitionIn accordance with AASB 3 Business Combinations, when My Net Fone Limited (the legal parent) acquired My Net Fone Australia Pty Limited (the legal subsidiary), the acquisition was deemed to be a reverse acquisition since the substance of the transaction was that the existing shareholders of My Net Fone Australia Pty Limited have, through My Net Fone Australia Pty Limited, effectively acquired My Net Fone Limited. Under reverse acquisition accounting, the consolidated financial statements are prepared as if My Net Fone Australia Pty Limited had acquired My Net Fone Limited, not vice versa as represented by the legal position.
g. Critical accounting estimates and judgmentsThe directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assure a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group. Key estimates that have a significant risk of causing adjustments to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:
(i) Share based payment transactionsThe Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an independent valuer using a Black-Scholes model. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may have impact on profit or loss and equity.
(ii) Useful lives of property, plant & equipmentThe Group reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each financial year. The Group adjusted the remaining effective useful life of its assets to better reflect their actual usage and future economic benefit.
(iii) Utilisation of tax lossesThe Company and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries elected to join as members of a tax consolidated group under Australian taxation law as of 1 July 2011. Each entity in the tax consolidated group contributed tax losses to the Group. The Group will use the losses by the available fraction of each bundle of losses transferred. The Group has assessed the ability to utilise the losses against future taxable income. The Group has generated taxable income in the current financial year and the losses will be used over the next year.
My Net Fone Limited | ABN 37 118 699 853 and Controlled Entities
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statement (continued)
41
(iv) Research & Development (R&D) tax concessionWhen calculating the income tax provision for the year, there is an operating assumption that the Research & Development tax concession for 2013 will be the same as for 2012. The Directors believe the estimate is reasonable and conservative. This may be subject to change following the approval of the R&D tax concession application from AusIndustry in due course.
h. Revenue recognitionRevenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
(i) Rendering of servicesRevenue from telecommunication services are recognised when the services are provided to the customer.Deferred revenue represents the unused proportion of cash received in advance for call credits determined on a specific account basis at balance date.
(ii) Interest income / Finance revenueInterest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent in the instrument.
i. LeasesLease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.
Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straightline basis over the life of the lease term.
j. Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
k. Trade and other receivablesTrade receivables and other receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any amounts determined to be uncollectable.
An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified.
l. Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances(i) Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each group entity is measured using the currency of the primary consolidated environment in which the entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and balancesTransactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.
All exchange differences in the consolidated financial report are taken to profit or loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
My Net Fone Limited | ABN 37 118 699 853 and Controlled Entities
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statement (continued)
42
(iii) Group CompaniesThe financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:- Assets and liabilities are translated at year end exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date.- Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period.- Retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
On consolidation, assets and liabilities have been translated into Australian dollars at the closing rate at the reporting date. Income and expenses have been translated into the Group’s presentation currency at the average rate over the reporting period. The exchange differences are taken to profit or loss in the consolidated financial report.
m. Income taxThe income tax expense (credit) for the year comprises current income tax expense (credit) and deferred tax expense (credit).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income. Current tax liabilities (assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (credit) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss.
Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where: (a) a legally enforceable right of set-off exists; and (b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
Tax consolidationMy Net Fone Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries are part of a tax consolidation group under Australian taxation law. My Net Fone Limited is the head entity in the tax consolidation group. Tax expense, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of the tax-consolidation group using the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach by reference to the carrying amounts in the separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation.
My Net Fone Limited, as the head entity in the tax consolidated group, recognises the current tax liabilities and assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits of all entities in the group.
My Net Fone Limited | ABN 37 118 699 853 and Controlled Entities
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statement (continued)
43
n. Goods and Services Tax (GST)Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
o. InventoriesInventories are measured and recorded at cost and are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
p. Property, plant and equipment Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.
DepreciationThe depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life to the consolidated group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:• Furniture & Fittings – over 6 to 10 years• Office Equipment – over 3 to 5 years• Network Infrastructure and IT Systems – over 2 to 4 years• Motor Vehicles – over 4 years
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income. When re-valued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.
q. Financial instrumentsFinancial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.
(i) Loans and receivablesLoans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other loans and receivables are classified as non-current assets.)
My Net Fone Limited | ABN 37 118 699 853 and Controlled Entities
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statement (continued)
44
(ii) Investments in subsidiaries held by the parentInvestments in subsidiaries held by the parent entity are recognised and subsequently measured at cost in the separate financial statements of the Company, less any impairment.
r. Impairment of assetsAt the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of comprehensive income.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
s. Trade and other payablesTrade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the Group during the reporting period which remains unpaid.
The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amount being normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.
t. ProvisionsProvisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
When the group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income net of any reimbursement.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the Statement of Financial Position date. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised in finance costs.
u. Employee leave benefitsProvision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wages increases and the probability that the employee may satisfy vesting requirements. Those cash outflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows.
v. Contributed capitalOrdinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
w. Earnings per shareBasic earnings per share is determined as net profit/(loss) attributable to members of the group, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends), divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares.
Diluted earnings per share include options outstanding that will have the potential to convert to ordinary shares and dilute the basic earnings per share.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statement (continued)
45
x. De-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilitiesFinancial assets are de-recognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are de-recognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liabilityextinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
y. Share-based payment transactionsThe Group provides benefits to its employees and Directors (including key management personnel) in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees and Directors is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a Black-Scholes model.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period), ending on the date on which the relevant employees and Directors become fully entitled to the award (the vesting date).
At each subsequent reporting date until vesting, the cumulative charge to the Statement of Comprehensive Income is the product of:(i) the grant date fair value of the award;(ii) the current best estimate of the number of awards that will vest, taking into account such factors as the
likelihood of employee turnover during the vesting period and the likelihood of non-market performance conditions being met; and
(iii) the expired portion of the vesting period.
The charge to the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the period is the cumulative amount as calculated above less the amounts already charged in previous periods. There is a corresponding credit to equity.

a. Employee option plan (EOP)The Board may issue options under the EOP to any employee of the Group, including Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors. Options will be issued free of charge, unless the Board determines otherwise. Each option is to subscribe for one share and when issued, the shares will rank equally with other shares. Unless the terms on which an option was offered specify otherwise, an option may be exercised at any time after one year from the date it is granted, provided the employee is still employed by the Company.
An option may also be exercised in special circumstances, that is, at any time within 6 months after the employee’s death, total and permanent disablement, or retrenchment. An option lapses upon the termination of the employee’s employment by the Company and, unless the terms of the offer of the option specify otherwise, lapses three years after the date upon which it was granted. The exercise price per share for an option will be the average closing market price of the Company’s share over the five trading days before their issue.
The maximum number of options on issue under the EOP must not at any time exceed 5% of the total number of shares on issue at that time.
b. Share options granted to the directorsNo options were granted to Directors during the year. The following table illustrates the number and weighted average exercise prices (WAEP) of and movements of share options held by Directors during the year:

20. BUSINESS COMBINATION
a. Acquisition of controlled entitiesOn 31 December 2012, the Group acquired 100% of the issued capital of Internex Australia Pty Limited; a Melbourne based Internet Service Provider, for a purchase consideration of $4,750,000.
The acquisition is part of the Group’s overall strategy to expand its operations by acquiring profitable customer bases in the small to medium business segments. This acquisition complements the current established MyNetFone Business segment as well as providing additional intellectual property in the hosted ISP services space, and considerable cross selling opportunities and synergies.
The purchase price was based on 2.9 times the net profit after tax (NPAT) of Internex Australia Pty Ltd over an historical 12 month period from the date of acquisition. The consideration was paid in two instalments with the final instalment paid on the 31 December 2012. The payment was made in part from a capital raising and in part from free cash flow.
The goodwill of $4,533k in the table below is attributable to the forecast earnings growth of Internex Australia Pty Limited due to its strong position and competitive advantage in the business ISP market. No amount of goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The acquisition complements the current established Symbio Wholesale business segment as well as providing very strong synergies once the business is migrated to the Group’s carrier networks.
The purchase price was based on approximately 1.0 times the gross profit of the customer base over a forecast of 12 month period from the date of acquisition. The consideration was paid in one instalment on the 31 December 2012. The payment was made from a capital raising.

27. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash at bank and short term deposits.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are cash flow interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below:
Interest rate riskThe company has no interest bearing liabilities. Funds on deposit are disclosed and the respective weighted average interest rate is disclosed below.
Liquidity riskThe Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and interest revenue through the use of current accounts and short term deposits.
Credit riskThe company has no significant exposure to credit risk as the majority of its sales are pre-paid as at year end. However, for credit sales the company only trades with recognised creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. Moreover, the company considers it is appropriate to provide a provision for doubtful debts for the year ended 30 June 2013.
Set out below is a comparison by category of carrying amounts and fair values of all of the Group’s financial instruments recognised in the financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MY NET FONE LIMITED and Controlled Entities
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying fi nancial report of My Net Fone Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of fi nancial position as at 30 June 2013, the consolidated statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash fl ows for the year then ended, notes comprising a sumary of signifi cant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the fi nancial year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the fi nancial 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 fi nancial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statement, that the fi nancial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the fi nancial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the fi nancial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the fi nancial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the fi nancial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the fi nancial report 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the fi nancial report.
We performed the procedures to assess whether in all material respects the fi nancial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the Australian Accounting standards, a true and fair view which is consistent with our understanding of the Company’s fi nancial position and of its performance.
Our procedures include reading the other information in the Annual Report to determine whether it contains any material inconsistencies with the fi nancial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
