Chairman’s Introduction


Dear Shareholders,

Chairman’s Introduction
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Entertainment, I am pleased to present the 2025 Annual Report.
In this financial year, Entertainment has continued its focus on re-invigorating the core business pillars that have made it the market leader in the loyalty and rewards space over the past 31 years.
Entertainment has continued its focus on instilling ‘quality’ across the entire business, primarily focused on the following five (5) pillars.
1. Re-invigorating the valuable Fundraising Distribution Channel.
2. Meeting and exceeding the expectations of our Members.
3. Improving quality in terms of Merchant Offers.
4. Growing all areas of Enterprise revenue including Frequent Values, Paid Advertising, PCLO and Gift Cards.
5. And most importantly, returning to the habit of a winning culture across the entire business.
Entertainment works to support the causes of literally thousands of fundraising organisations in Australia and New Zealand. The Company reached a milestone of raising over $111 million for local community causes. This is an amazing achievement and is as a core value of our business now and onwards into the future.
We have seen continuing healthy growth with our Enterprise products, mostly supported by the Frequent Values Program, a white-labelled app-based solution in the B2B2C space. Loyalty marketing continues to play a critical role in many enterprise marketing strategies, and we are well-placed to service this need.
Broadly, our strategy is to deliver win-win partnerships, support our valued fundraisers and merchants, provide quality experiences and value and grow our business, as follows:
• Continue to build our audience asset through increasing member numbers linked to our Entertainment and Frequent Values Programs
• Strengthen our network asset including our invaluable fundraiser distribution channel, merchant partnerships and corporate client networks
• Grow transaction linked revenues, including through building a strong offer base for one of the largest card network platform and through travel, leisure and online retail offers to our audience base.
Our revenue totaled $18.7 million in FY25, an increase of 12.6% compared to the prior year. This 12.6% increase reversed a 3.7% decline from the year before. We saw a strong performance in all core revenue streams including Enterprise sales, Paid Advertising, Gift Cards and Seamless Rewards. Memberships sold also rose by a pleasing 11.9%, reversing a decline of 30% recorded the year before.
The 2025 financial year was the first full year under the leadership of our new CEO, Heidi Halson. Heidi’s unmatched knowledge of the business and passion for our core mission have been instrumental in driving the Company forwards.
We continue to be strongly supported by our majority shareholder, Suzerain Investment Holdings Limited and its associates. In August 2025, Entertainment secured an additional $3.0 million unsecured loan facility to increase the funding available to meet investment and working capital requirements.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to acknowledge our executive leadership team and all employees, members and partners for their support and hard work through the past year. I would also like to thank our shareholders and debt providers for their continued support.
Finally, I would like to thank my colleagues on the Board for their contributions and guidance.

Dean Palmer Chairman
CEO’s Review


Dear Shareholders,
CEO’s Review

As we look back on FY25, I am pleased to present a summary of our journey at Entertainment Rewards Ltd across Australia and New Zealand, highlighting our achievements, challenges, and vision for the future.
FY25 was a defining year—one marked by greater clarity in both our product and strategic direction. United by a focus on growth and quality, we embedded a customer-obsessed mindset at every level, guiding our ambitious approach to membership growth.
Our commitment to growth extended beyond our goals; it shaped the way we operate. In recent years, we have successfully transitioned from printed books to a fully digital platform. We’ve continued to embrace a remote work force to significantly reduce our environmental impact.
Strategic Focus
Our mission has amplified our voice: transforming everyday experiences into extraordinary impact. Since 1994, this purpose has been the foundation of our business, allowing us to draw on 31 years of trusted brand heritage. We are now leveraging decades of goodwill and brand recognition—powerful assets that are being revitalised through thoughtful messaging and enhanced member experiences. Entertainment’s distinctive value lies in our platform’s support of local community fundraising. This stands out as a genuine advantage, particularly as people seek meaningful ways to contribute while also saving money.
Our commitment to support local community fundraising was deepened as we surpassed $111 million raised for the community since 1994, a significant milestone. At the same time, we delivered exclusive offers for socially conscious consumers, saving them thousands on daily purchases with restriction-free offers.
To further expand on this mission, we invested significantly in technology this year, notably the development and launch of our popular travel portal, providing Members access to world best rates to over 200,000 hotels, resorts, cruises, rental cars and more. Our AI-powered concierge will enhance Member engagement and provide personalised recommendations across the platforms
Achievements and Financial Performance
We successfully expanded our offering, activating new national partners across hospitality, travel, and entertainment, and delivering even more value to our loyal Members. Despite a dynamic market landscape, our focused approach on premium quality enabled us to halt a 4-year decline and achieve robust member growth across all divisions.
From that, total revenue totalled $ 18.7 million in FY25, an impressive increase of 12.6% compared to 3.7% decline in the prior year. This was driven by strong performance in Enterprise sales, Paid Advertising, Gift Cards, and Seamless Rewards results. Memberships sold also rose by 11.9%, reversing a decline of 30% recorded in the prior year. I expect the full impact of increased Memberships sold will be more reflected in FY26.
Loss before income tax increased to $9.6 million in FY25 compared to loss of $7.6 million in FY24 as management made a conscious decision to invest in hiring additional resources in the revenue generating roles and increase in the marketing costs to push Membership sales.
Cash Position
As of 30 June 2025, cash reserves totalled $1.42 million. Further, $3.0 million additional unsecured loan facility was signed in August 2025 to increase the funding available to meet the working capital requirements of the Company. As of the date of the annual report, the Company had undrawn remaining loan facility available of $3.0 million.
Market and Industry Context
FY25 presented both opportunities and headwinds – from inflationary pressures to evolving consumer expectations. We remained adaptive, leveraging data-driven insights and industry collaborations to maintain our competitive edge. Dining, leisure, and fundraising demand are rebounding, and value-seeking behaviours are at all-time highs in Australia and New Zealand. As the hospitality and travel landscape continues to recover, our position as the leading member-driven rewards platform allows us to respond nimbly to emerging trends.
Our shift to digitisation favours our bold approach and creates more opportunities for customizable, updatable offers, personalized marketing, and deeper engagement on the horizon.
Looking Ahead
As we look to FY26, we will double down on our growth strategy:
• Scaling our content acquisition teams to expand our merchant network while always putting quality and exclusivity at the forefront.
• Further innovating our digital experience, with a focus on loyalty rewards, AI, Member moments and best-inmarket offers.
• Continuing to reduce operating costs and increase value delivered to both members and partners.
This coming year we will keep moving—adapt fast, innovate, and continue to bring energy to the business while using creativity and intelligence to grow. We are excited to continue to announce new partnerships with major hospitality, retail and travel brands and forthcoming enhancements that will elevate the Entertainment experience even further.
Looking ahead, we are exploring B-Corp certification, 1% for the Planet accreditation, and a climate target aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), while mapping our impact against the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework.
This progress would not be possible without the dedication of our extraordinary staff, the support of our partners, and the confidence of our shareholders and investors. Thank you for believing in our mission to transform everyday experiences into extraordinary impact.
Together, we are shaping the future of rewards, one remarkable customer experience at a time.
With gratitude,

Heidi Halson Chief Executive Officer
The team stay true to their mission, actively supporting our fundraising events, from fun runs to charity galas, open days and more, helping to generate vital funds for the causes we champion.



We were proud to once again support the Restaurant & Catering Association’s Awards for Excellence this financial year, celebrating the very best in Australian hospitality.





Throughout FY25, we had the privilege of hosting ‘Fundraiser launch' events across the country to celebrate and acknowledge our remarkable fundraisers—the true lifeblood of our organisation. These occasions offered an important opportunity to extend our sincere gratitude for their unwavering support. Their dedication and passion remain central to our mission, and we look forward to building on this momentum and supporting the continued growth and success of our fundraising community in the year ahead.

We marked the re-launch of Entertainment Travel alongside our valued Merchant and Charity Partners, as well as key media and digital representatives. Guests enjoyed a memorable luncheon at Quay Restaurant, complemented by panoramic views of Sydney Harbour.



Financial Review

Financial Review
Total revenue for FY2025 was $18.71 million, underlying EBITDA for FY25 was a loss of $6.81 million, negative operating cash flow of $6.80 million, Net loss after tax (NLAT) was $9.66 million. Australian revenue accounted for $17.68 million, or 94.5 per cent (FY24: $15.47 million, or 93.1 per cent), while New Zealand revenue accounted for $1.03 million, or 5.5 per cent (FY24: $1.14 million, or 6.9 per cent).
Revenue
Overall revenue for FY2025 was $18.71million compared to $16.62 million in FY2024. This included $5.59 million, or 29.9 per cent from Membership sales (FY2024: $5.67 million), $2.41 million, or 12.9 per cent from Enterprise client sales (FY2024: $2.17 million), $8.54 million, or 45.7 per cent from gift card sales (FY2024: $7.18 million), and $1.00 million, or 5.3 per cent from fee income and paid advertising (FY2024: $0.88 million). The Company witnessed a significant increase in the Card Linked Offers (CLO) platform transactions with revenues of $1.14 million (FY2024: $0.65 million)for the transaction and management fees.
Memberships sold rose by 11.9%, from approximately 67.9k in FY2024 to 76.0k in FY2025, reversing a decline from the prior year of 30.0%. The reduction in membership revenues reflects timing differences from recognising revenue over the life of the memberships (12 to 24 months). The impact of increased memberships sold in FY2025 will be more fully reflected in FY2026. Similarly, new Enterprise contracts worth $0.7 million were signed and invoiced in FY2025 with revenue to be reflected in FY2026.
The Seamless Rewards segment, launched in October 2022, recorded significant revenue growth during the year.
Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortisation
Earnings before interest tax depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) in FY2025 was a loss of $6.81 million compared to loss in FY2024 of $4.45 million.
EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure and does not have a standardised meaning prescribed by IFRS. However, the Company believes that in combination with IFRS measures, it assists in providing investors with a comprehensive understanding of the underlying operational performance of the business.
The following table reconciles statutory loss to EBITDA.
Net loss after tax and impairments
Reported net loss after tax (NLAT) from ordinary activities in FY2025 was $9.66 million compared to a net loss after tax from ordinary activities in FY2024 of $7.64 million.
Debt management

Key Highlights (Effective 31 December 2024):

Business Risks
Entertainment Rewards faces a number of business risks that may impact the Company’s ability to achieve its strategic objectives and create shareholder value.
The Board considers the following to be the key risks currently facing the business.

Business Risks
Risk Nature of Risk
Entertainment Rewards has negative operating cash flows in past few years and there is no certainty that the Company will remain sufficiently funded.
Funding
Entertainment Rewards continually manages its cash position on daily basis and has $3.0 million funding available as at 25 September 2025 out of $10.5 million approved unsecured loan facility from Suzerain.
The increased inflation in the recent past has an adverse impact on the discretionary spending power of the people. As Entertainment Rewards’s business content is primarily focused around discretionary spend, it may impact B2C revenues of the Company.
Macro-economic uncertainty due to inflation
Success of Investment
The Board and Management have implemented a revenue pivot strategy to increase the B2C revenues via better engagement with the fund raiser channel which can promote Entertainment memberships to their members while highlighting the costs savings possible through Entertainment membership.
Management have invested in the Seamless Rewards platform. Entertainment Rewards’s success in part is predicated on our ability to generate new customers and cash inflows from the above platform.
Management and the Board reviews the results of all of our investments regularly which forms the basis of future investment decisions.
Entertainment Rewards’s success depends, in part, upon the continued performance, efforts, abilities and expertise of its key management personnel, as well as other management and technical personnel. The loss of the services of these personnel without replacement could have an adverse impact on the successful operation, management, and marketing of Entertainment Rewards’s product/service offerings and platforms.
Personnel
The Board reviews the incentive structures of key personnel and senior management to ensure their remuneration is in line with the market, with a proportion deferred as a long-term/retention incentive. Management regularly undertakes succession planning analysis of key lead roles with the view to understand suitable internal talent and their readiness to assume these roles.
Risk Nature of Risk
Entertainment Rewards’s ability to consistently deliver high-quality services to its customers is increasingly dependent on maintaining modern, reliable, and secure technology. Any disruptions, whether from unexpected outages, upgrades that fail to meet current digital standards, or potential security breaches, could result in significant reputational and financial risks.
Technology
To mitigate these risks and ensure its technology remains at the forefront of the digital landscape, Entertainment Rewards has strategically insourced the management of its core technology platforms.
This approach provides the Company with greater control over its technology development roadmap, enhances its ability to proactively manage potential outages, and strengthens its capacity to address evolving security threats effectively.
Entertainment Rewards is subject to substantial regulatory and legal oversight. The agencies with regulatory oversight of Entertainment Rewards and its subsidiaries include, among others, the ASX and ASIC. Failure to comply with legal and regulatory requirements may have a material adverse effect on Entertainment Rewards and its reputation among customers and regulators, and in the market.
Regulatory
Reputation
Entertainment Rewards has compliance frameworks, policies, and procedures in place to manage the risk of non-compliance and is prepared to play an active role in consulting with regulators on changes that could impact the business.
Reputation risk may arise through the actions of Entertainment Rewards or its employees and adversely affect perceptions of Entertainment Rewards held by the public, customers, shareholders, or regulators. These issues include appropriately dealing with product outages or issues, potential conflicts of interests, legal and regulatory requirements, ethical issues, privacy laws, information security policies and sales and trading practices. Damage to Entertainment Rewards’s reputation may have an adverse impact on Entertainment Rewards’s financial performance, capacity to source funding, cost of sourcing funding, and liquidity.
Entertainment Rewards actively manages the above risks by regularly monitoring its market reputation amongst customers and shareholders, as well as keeping an open dialogue with regulators and financiers.
Risk Nature of Risk
Competition
Third Party Failure
New competitors are emerging in the loyalty and incentives markets, within which Entertainment Rewards operates. The loyalty space is particularly competitive, with many well-funded international competitors and platform managers. An inability to adapt to technological advancement, including further digitisation and flexibility of products, could negatively impact the ability to attract customers and have a material adverse effect on the business of Entertainment Rewards.
To mitigate this, Entertainment Rewards’s focus is squarely on its strengths: quality, technology and content. The ongoing investment in these areas provides Entertainment Rewards with differentiation in this noisy space.
Entertainment Rewards is reliant on several third-party contractors. These third parties provide essential services, on an outsourced basis, including software and/or product development activities.
Accordingly, Entertainment Rewards is reliant on contractors properly performing their contractual obligations, and performance failures may have an adverse effect on Entertainment Rewards. Entertainment Rewards is also an extensive user of third party provided IT hardware and software platforms, systems, and infrastructure. Entertainment Rewards is reliant on these suppliers properly performing their contractual obligations, and performance failures or unreasonable price increases may have a material adverse impact on the Company. A failure by any of these suppliers to provide those services or a failure of their systems may adversely affect Entertainment Rewards’s ability to provide services to its customers.
To minimise these risks, Entertainment Rewards actively engages with its key third party providers on a regular basis and remains abreast of potential risks within these providers through regular interaction at the senior management level.
Intellectual Property Risk
Whilst every effort has been made to secure the technology supporting Entertainment Rewards’s various platforms, Entertainment Rewards does not intend to apply to register patents for all the intellectual property associated with the Entertainment and Frequent Values platforms. Other parties may claim infringement of patents, or alternatively other parties may develop and patent other very similar, potentially substitutable products, processes, or technologies.
Entertainment Rewards sees the unique value of its intellectual property, in the content of its Entertainment and Frequent Values platforms, as a mitigant to this risk.

KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL FOR THE YEAR COMPRISED:
Management Personnel
2. Remuneration policy
The remuneration policy of Entertainment Rewards has been designed to attract the most qualified and experienced KMP and align objectives with those of the business and shareholders. All executives receive a base salary which is based upon factors such as the length of service, experience, and skills, as well as superannuation as required by law. Executives may sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.
The Company also has remuneration policy in relation to Short Term Incentive (STI) and Long-Term Incentive (LTI) for the Executives and Long-Term Incentive for the Directors.
The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-Executive Directors is subject to approval at the AGM. The maximum amount currently approved by shareholders is $500,000 per annum.
3. Remuneration Committee and executive compensation
The Remuneration Committee has the responsibility for providing advice in relation to the remuneration packages of senior executives, non-executive, and executive directors. The Committee is also responsible for the design and oversight of any share option schemes, performance incentive packages, superannuation entitlements, and retirement and termination entitlements.
The Remuneration Committee reviews the compensation package for senior executives on an annual basis and makes recommendations to the Board for approval. Compensation packages are reviewed and determined based on current market rates and benchmarked against comparable roles and companies of a similar size. The Committee is chaired by Dr Charles Romito.
4. Remuneration objectives and principles
Remuneration packages are set at levels that are intended to attract and retain executives capable of managing the Company’s operations.
The Company’s remuneration strategy is structured to:
• ensure employee remuneration is fair and reasonable;
• attract and retain high caliber executives;
• align performance with shareholder value; and,
• be easily understood by all stakeholders.
5. Remuneration framework
The Executive Remuneration Framework is characterised by Fixed Remuneration (base salary, superannuation plus other fixed benefits) and Variable/Performance Related Remuneration (including short-term incentive (STI) and long- term incentive (LTI) linked to performance).
Fixed compensation
This component is not performance linked and generally consists of salary and superannuation entitlements. The base amount is reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee for the Chief Executive Officer and other senior executives. Any adjustments made during the year will either be because of market rate changes for the Company to remain competitive, or to reflect any changes in the level of responsibility in the event the role has expanded.
Performance related compensation
Performance-related compensation includes both short-term and long-term incentives and is designed to reward key management personnel for meeting or exceeding their financial and personal objectives. The STI is an ’At Risk’ bonus provided in the form of cash and its calculation is based on the achievement of agreed KPIs and goals. LTI plan is provided in the form of the Company’s shares on achievement of the agreed financial KPIs.
Short-term incentives (STI)
The STI performance arrangements in which executives are incentivised with KPI’s and targets as set out on an annual basis, are board approved and do not constitute a formal scheme. Targets and KPI’s can change each year depending on business priorities and are determined to increase business performance. Final payment amounts are subject to individual, divisional and group measurement metrics, and are reviewed and approved by the Board.
Long-term incentives (LTI)
Prior years approved LTI’s were linked to the achievement of operational targets, and share price performance, and were provided to certain KMP, through a Loan Funder Share Plan, as part of their remuneration package, at the discretion of the Board. With the departure of those KMPs, all the unvested options under the Loan Funded Share Plan were forfeited.
A LTI for the non-executive chairman Dean Palmer was approved by the Board and Shareholders during the 2024 AGM, through a new Loan Funded Share Scheme (LFS) as part of his remuneration. Further details are available in Note 13 to the financial statements.
Non-Executive Directors’ fees
There were no changes to the fixed fees of the Non-Executive Directors (including the Chairman) for the financial year.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2025
Note 1 | Summary of material accounting policy information
Basis of preparation
These general-purpose financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025 have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS). Consequently, this financial report is compliant with IFRS. Entertainment Rewards Ltd is a listed public Company incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The Company is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise.
Except for cash flow information, 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.
These audited consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue on the date of signing the attached directors’ declaration.
Going concern
The consolidated financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuation of normal business operations and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
On 30 June 2025 the Group had cash on hand of $1.42 million, net liabilities of $16.23 million and a net current asset deficiency of $3.2 million. During the year ended 30 June 2025, the Group incurred a net loss before tax of $9.6 million and incurred net cash outflows from operating activities of $6.8 million.
The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the period from 1 July 2025 to 30 September 2026 that support the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. Key assumptions contemplated in the forecast are listed below:
• Focus on growing key revenue areas through re-engagement of the Fund raiser channel, acquisition of new clients in B2B space and growing transaction linked revenues.
• Continuing the cost discipline as evidenced during last 2 years (change in IT vendor with significant costs savings, outsourcing of support function roles to Philippines) while continuing to invest in brand awareness.
• Continued support from the majority shareholder. The Company was able to secure additional $2.5 million unsecured facility from Suzerain Investments in April 2025 and further $3.0 million in August 2025.
• The Company obtained extensions on the Suzerain and Skybound Fidelis loans from 31 December 2025 to 31 December 2026.
The ongoing operations of the Group is critically dependent upon the Group continuing to access the Suzerain & related parties financing facilities and the success of the revenue growth strategies.
As of 30 June 2025, the Group had undrawn financing facilities from Suzerain and related parties totalling $1 million. See note 10 for further information. Further to the company signing the amendment deed in August 2025 to increase the loan facility by additional $3 million, this undrawn amount has increased to $3.0 million at the date of the approval of this financial report.
Considering the financial results for the full year ended 30 June 2025, and the inherent uncertainty and highly sensitive assumptions present in the cash flow forecasts, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant
ENTERTAINMENT REWARDS LTD AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
Notes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2025
doubt on the group’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
However, the Directors have reasonable grounds to believe that the ongoing financial support of Suzerain and its related entities is likely to continue and accordingly have prepared the financial report on a going concern basis.
Restatement of comparatives - classification of convertible notes
During the reporting period the entity adopted for the first time 2020-1 (2020-6 as amended): Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current, which became mandatory in the reporting period. The impact of the change related to the entity’s convertible notes, which included conversion entitlements entitling the net investor to convert the notes to equity within 12 months of the reporting date being 30 June 2024, irrespective of the note’s cash redemption date. Previously the entity classified such liabilities as non-current liabilities. As a consequence, the comparative balances of convertible note liabilities have been restated from non-current to current in the statement of financial position.
Key judgements and estimates
Revenue recognition on a principal basis for gift
card sales
The Group recognises revenues from its gift card sales on a principal basis. Refer to Note 2 for further detail
Deferred tax assets “DTA”
The directors have not recognised any deferred tax assets for carry-forward tax losses or timing difference as it is uncertain as to when or if those timing differences or tax losses will be utilised under either loss carry-forward rules or through the derivation of assessable taxable income.
The Group has estimated a range of unutilised tax losses between $66.34 million and $88.84 million (30 June 2024: $82.01 million), of which there is uncertainty regarding $22.5 million of these losses due to events occurring in the financial year related to the renegotiation of the convertible note debt and its subsequent reclassification to equity (Refer to Note 10). These changes may potentially trigger a Commercial Debt Forgiveness (CDF) event under the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) guidelines. Additionally, there are other deductible temporary differences resulting in a net potential deferred tax asset position for the Group of approximately $0.84 million (30 June 2024: $0.91 million), calculated using the prevailing rate of Australia corporation tax of 30% for the Group. The Group has commenced the process to determine whether a CDF event has occurred. If such an event is identified, the Group will then evaluate its ability to utilise available tax losses, subject to compliance with applicable Australian tax legislation. This includes, but is not limited to, satisfying either the Continuity of Ownership Test or the Business Continuity Test, as administered by the ATO.
Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
The Group assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions. No specific impairment triggers were identified for the Group's non-financial assets for the financial year ended 30 June 2025.
ENTERTAINMENT REWARDS LTD AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
Notes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2025
Accounting for equity conversion entitlements in borrowing arrangements
As set out in Note 10, the Group has issued debt with variable conversion entitlements. In assessing this arrangement in the prior year, owing to the Company’s share price relative to the floor price written into the conversion formula, the directors determined that any embedded derivative potentially applicable in the arrangement was not material to be separately disclosed or fair valued in the prior year, as the amortised cost of the underlying host contract materially equalled the fair value of the entire debt agreement.
During the current year, this debt was renegotiated and amended to a fixed-for-fixed conversion feature. Due to the modification of the convertible note being made with a party under common control, the fair value of the liability as at the date of modification was reclassified to equity. This assessment required significant judgement in evaluating the substance of the renegotiated terms, including consideration of the contractual features and whether, in aggregate, the revised arrangement met the definition of equity under AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation.
Note 2 | Revenue
Accounting policy
Revenue from contracts with customers
Other than for a limited number of exceptions, including leases, the revenue model in AASB 15 applies to all contracts with customers as well as non-monetary exchanges between entities in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers and potential customers.
The core principle of the Standard is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. To achieve this objective AASB 15 provides the following five-step process:
• Identify the contract(s) with a customer;
• Identify the performance obligations in the contract(s);
• Determine the transaction price;
• Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and
• Recognise revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied.
The Group satisfies its obligations as services are rendered to its members during the period of membership. Benefits must be provided constantly throughout the period and Entertainment Publications has concluded that a straight-line basis is the most appropriate method.
The following table provides information about the nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations in contracts with customers, including significant payment terms, and the related revenue recognition policies.
ENTERTAINMENT REWARDS LTD AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
Notes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2025
Type of services
Fee income – Paid advertising
Nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and revenue recognition policies
Revenue from Entertainment Publications marketing and merchant support fees through the placement of advertisements and the distribution of offers and promotions on behalf of businesses to members is recognised at point in time when the advertisement or offer is placed, distributed and invoiced. Revenue from the successful promotion of merchant offers is recognised when the transaction occurs which evidences the take up of the promotion.
Fee income – Travel booking
Membership subscriptions
Revenue from commission receivable for bookings are recognised at point in time when the bookings are made, and it is paid for. Members have access to a range of discounts and deals from hotels, airlines and car rental companies through the Group’s platform through which the Group acts as an agent on behalf of the hotels, airlines and car rental companies.
The Entertainment membership is a digital product with a rolling subscription period ranging from 12 to 24 months upon activation. Special promotions may offer different subscription periods. Upon activation, Entertainment Publications commits to providing benefits like special offers and discounts throughout the membership period, recognising revenue over time. Deferred revenue is recorded for obligations not yet fulfilled. Payment is made before membership begins. Revenue from Gift with Purchase promotions is handled by recognising the standalone value of the gift immediately, with the remainder recognised over the membership's duration.
Enterprise sales
Seamless Rewards - Success Fee
Entertainment Publications enters into contracts with corporate customers to develop a program of special offers, discounts, promotions and booking facilities for their customers or employees over the period of time applicable in the contract. Entertainment Publications has taken the view that the performance obligations defined in the contract should be bundled into one performance obligation centred around access to the program of benefits and revenue is recognised over the term of the contract.
Under the Seamless Rewards program, the Seamless Rewards business receives transaction-linked revenue each time a cardholder transacts using a linked card at a Seamless Rewards merchant and that revenue earned is recognised in full as the performance obligation has been met.
Merchant Management Services
Gift card sales
Seamless Rewards earns revenue from managing partners’ existing merchants and also onboarding new merchants on their behalf. In order to ensure that the revenue is recognised over time, in a manner that depicts the entity’s performance against the targets and obligations, management recognises revenue on a straight-line basis as the services are performed on an ongoing basis during the term of contract period.
Revenue from the sale of gift cards to members is recognised at a point in time when the gift card is provided to the customer, and it is paid for. The Group is a principal in these transactions as it purchased the gift cards and obtains full control of them before selling them to members.
Payment terms are highly varied for the different sources of revenue, different customers and contract terms are individually negotiated.

Note 6 | Trade and other receivables
The movement in the provision for loss allowance of receivables is as follows:
The Group impairs the value of individual trade debtors based on an assessment of the credit quality of the customer, the previous trading pattern of the customer and management’s assessment of the likely recovery. All trade debtors which are not likely to be recovered are either written off or an impairment for lifetime expected credit losses is recognised. Minimal risk is expected in respect of recoverable which are not written off or provided against. The remainder of receivables, after credit losses, are of high credit quality.
The Group uses a “roll rate” method to calculate expected credit losses for trade receivables from individual customers that is made up of variable mix of number and size of balances. Loss rates are calculated based on the probability of receivables progressing through successive stages of delinquency to write off. Roll rates are calculated using an analysis of how balances change from one month to the next until they reach 90 days. Data over the last 12 months was reviewed to determine the level of recovery of those receivables older than 90 days. Combining these two measurements provided the Group with the ability to determine the loss allowance as of 30 June. As a result of recent economic variables such as cost of living, inflation and interest rates, the Group reviewed the expected credit loss allowance and determined that the adjusted loss rate for trade debtors past due over 90 days should be 100%, except where the group is highly likely to recover the debt.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2025
On that basis, the expected credit loss allowance as at 30 June 2025 was determined as follows for trade receivables:
¹ Receivables for Greater than over 90 days overdue includes an overpayment amount of -$14K from one debtor. Excluding this credit amount, the receivable amount is $39k.
The expected credit loss allowance as at 30 June 2024 was determined as follows for trade receivables:
Credit risk
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counterparty or group of counterparties other than those receivables specifically impaired. The class of assets described as “trade and other receivables” are the main source of credit risk related to the Group.
No collateral is held in respect of these exposures and there are no other credit enhancement arrangements. All trade receivables have been investigated and, other than those which have been written off or for which credit losses have been recognised, there are no indicators of poor credit quality for trade receivables. Securities in the form of personal guarantees from directors, or registered mortgages are regularly taken to support customer trading activities.

1 Short-term investments are all deposits held with banks.
2 Sales commission paid to fundraiser partners for the sale of Entertainment memberships is an incremental cost of obtaining contracts with customers and is initially recognised as prepayment on the balance sheet and subsequently amortised as an expense through the income statement in line with the recognition of revenue from associated membership sales.
The movement in the deferred commission is as follows:
Note 8 | Intangible assets
Accounting policy
Technology and software
Technology and software assets acquired separately are capitalised at cost. Where the technology and software assets have been acquired as part of a business acquisition, these assets are recognised at fair value as at the date of acquisition.
Amounts capitalised as part of internally developed intellectual property include the total cost of any external services and labour costs directly attributable to development of technology and software. Management judgement is involved in determining the appropriate internal costs to capitalise and the amounts involved. Research costs are expensed as incurred.
The useful lives of these assets are then assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Assets with a finite life are amortised over that life with the expense being recognised in profit and loss. Expenditure on the development of technology and software assets are capitalised until the software is ready for use and then amortised over their expected useful life of 5 years (2024: 9 yrs) (namely the CLO rewards platform which is the remaining asset in use). The total cost of the “ready for use” asset is based on the costs capitalised monthly. Any additional costs capitalised to the “ready for use” asset, are only those that will extend future economic benefits, and as such, will attract immediate amortisation.
These assets are tested for impairment at least annually as part of the value-in-use analysis associated with the cash-generating unit.

Note 9 | Trade and other payables
Note 10 | Borrowings
Accounting policy
Borrowings are financial liabilities with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss when the financial liability is derecognised.
Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal repayments and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the

rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flow will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying amount with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss.

Interest bearing loan
On 9 August 2019 the Group entered into a loan deed with Suzerain for total funding of $19 million to support working capital requirements and to restructure the business.
The loan was to be repaid on 30 September 2020 with interest capitalised at 10% per annum. During the 2020 AGM, resolutions were passed to enter into a General Security Deed over the assets of the Group in the form attached to the Convertible Loan Deed and for the loan to be convertible to ordinary shares at the higher of $0.047 per share or 30 days volume weighted average price prior to conversion.
Accordingly, $19.3 million including accrued interest on the convertible loan was converted to equity with the issuance of 410,643,766 ordinary shares (4.7cent per share) in the Company. $0.5m of the convertible loan was left in the loan in which Suzerain had the option to convert up until 30 June 2020. The option lapsed as the loan was not converted at 30 June 2020. The balance remaining on this loan is $0.66m (Including interest) and will remain as a secured interest-bearing loan until repaid. The Interest-bearing loan matured on 30 September 2020. The Company signed an amendment deed in August 2023 to defer the Principal and Interest payment to 31 December 2024 and another amendment deed in December 2023 to defer the Principal and Interest payment to 31 December 2025. A third amendment deed was agreed in December 2024 to defer the Principal and Interest payment date to 31 December 2026.
Transformational capital facility
Skybound Fidelis Investment limited as trustee for the Skybound Fidelis Credit Fund (Skybound) (a related entity of Suzerain) provided the Group with a $1.2 million facility for the transformational capital expenditures. During the AGM in December 2020, the resolutions were passed to enter into a second ranking security deed (ranking behind Suzerain). As at 30 June 2025 this loan facility has been fully drawn down.
The original repayment date for this loan was 11 February 2022, however, as part of the Group’s debt management plans, the repayment date has been renegotiated and has been deferred to 31 December 2024. Updated repayment terms have been agreed post 30 June 2024 seeing a deferment in repayment until 31 December 2025 and another amendment deed in December 2024 to defer the principal repayment date to December 2026.
Suzerain Investment Holdings Limited Convertible Loan Facility (Previously New Gold Coast Holdings Loan facility)
New Gold Coast Holdings Limited (NGCH), a related party of Suzerain, provided a $5 million Loan facility that was approved on 3 June 2021. The funds had been predominantly used to expedite the development of the company’s technology and customer experience platforms and to provide contingent working capital due to seasonal cash inflows. During the AGM on the 20 January 2022, the resolutions were passed to enter a second ranking security deed (ranking behind Suzerain). During the EGM on 23 May 2022, Entertainment Rewards Ltd gained shareholder approval to enter a convertible loan deed with New Gold Coast Holdings Limited which extended the total facility to $22.5m and deferring the repayment date to 31 December 2024. Convertible loan deed provided an option to NGCH to convert the principal outstanding under the facility into the shares of the company at higher of a) A$0.022 per share or b) the volume weighted average price of Shares traded on ASX during the period of 30 trading days concluding on the trading day before the issue date of the relevant Conversion Shares, plus an additional 20%. As per the amendment to the main agreement, accrued interest is not convertible into equity
The Company signed an amendment deed signed in December 2023 to defer the principal and interest payment until 31 December 2025.
ENTERTAINMENT REWARDS LTD AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
Notes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2025
The Company signed a novation deed dated 19 October 2024, novating the loan facility in favour of Suzerain Investment Holdings Limited on the existing terms and conditions which was approved by the Company’s shareholders in 2024 AGM. The Company signed two amendment deeds in January 2025 and February 2025 respectively, with the following amendments:
1. Conversion price for principal amount to be fixed at 2.2 cents per share.
2. Option to convert shifted from the lender to the Company
3. Interest rate reduced to 0% from 31 December 2024
4. Interest repayment date deferred to 31 December 2026.
5. Principal repayment/ conversion date deferred to 31 December 2026 subject to shareholder’s approval.
6. The amendments were made with an effective date of 31 December 2024.
7. Admin fees removed from 31 December 2024
As the amendment deed removes variability in the number of shares to be issued in settlement of the liability and grants the Company discretion to repay the principal component through the issue of a fixed number of shares, the liability has been reclassified as equity in the statement of financial position. Although the amendment was finalised on 28 January 2025, the reclassification is effective from 31 December 2024, as specified in the deed. Consequently, 31 December 2024 is regarded as the point at which the liability was legally extinguished and reclassified as equity, consistent with the establishment of a fixed conversion criteria. Due to the modification of the convertible note being made with a party under common control, the fair value of the liability as at the date of modification was reclassified to equity.
Suzerain Investment Holdings Loan Facility (Unsecured Loan)
On 28 June 2024 the Group entered into a new loan agreement with Suzerain for total funding of $5 million. The loan is unsecured with no convertible option. An amendment deed was signed in December 2024 to defer the principal and interest payment until 31 December 2026. On 30 April 2025 the Group signed an amendment to increase the total funding from 5.0 million to $7.5 million. The undrawn portion of the facility as at 30 June 2025 was $1.0 million.

Accounting classifications and fair values
As at 30 June 2025 and 2024 all financial assets and liabilities had carrying values that approximated their fair values.
Specific financial risk exposures and management
The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk consisting of interest rate risk and foreign currency risk.
Market risk
a.
Credit risk
Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by customers of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group.
i.
Risk management
Credit risk is managed through the maintenance of systems for the approval, granting and renewal of credit limits, regular monitoring of exposures against such limits and monitoring of the financial stability of significant customers, ensuring to the extent possible that customers to transactions are of sound credit worthiness. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for impairment. Depending on the division within the Group, credit terms are generally 14 to 30 days from the invoice date.
The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at the end of the reporting period excluding the value of any collateral or other security held, is equivalent to the carrying amount and classification of those financial assets (net of any provisions) as presented in the statement of financial position.
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with any single customer or group of customers. $14.1 million of the revenue in Note 2 is from memberships and gift cards sales, they are cash on delivery, therefore, the Group has no significant credit risk.
ii. Impairment of financial assets
The Group has trade and other receivables that are subject to the expected credit loss model. Trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are considered to be of high credit quality. Aggregates of such amounts are detailed in note 6. While cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of AASB 9, the identified impairment loss was immaterial because the Group deals with reputable banks with high credit ratings.
Trade and other receivables
The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. See Note 6.
b. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:
ENTERTAINMENT REWARDS LTD AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
Notes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2025
• preparing forward-looking cash flow analyses in relation to its operating, investing and financing activities
• monitoring undrawn credit facilities;
• obtaining funding from major financial institutions;
• maintaining a reputable credit profile;
• managing credit risk related to financial assets;
• only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and
• comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets.
• Renegotiating maturity dates of key funding lines of credit to ensure liquidity is managed within acceptable and planned thresholds.
i. Financing arrangements
New Suzerain Investment Holdings Loan Facility of $5 million was signed on 28th June 2024. The loan is unsecured with no convertible option. On 30 April 2025 the Group signed an amendment to increase the total funding from 5.0 million to $7.5 million. At 30 June 2025 there was still $1.0 million available to the company.

Suzerain Investment Holdings Loan Facility (Unsecured Loan)
Updated repayment terms have been agreed in FY2024 and the facility will now be repaid on 31 December 2026 (Previously 31 December 2025). See Note 10.
c. Foreign exchange risk
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on the sale of memberships and other fee income from foreign entities and on the translation of its foreign subsidiaries. Senior management has not hedged foreign currency transactions as at 30 June 2025 as $1.0 million of total revenue is in NZD and the foreign currency fluctuation between AUD and NZD is historically insignificant at 1.92% during the year. Foreign exchange risk was therefore considered insignificant. Senior management continue to evaluate this risk on an ongoing basis.
ENTERTAINMENT REWARDS LTD AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
Notes to the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2025
The exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in New Zealand dollar, was as follows:

Independent Auditor's Report

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Entertainment Rewards Ltd
Report on the audit of the financial
report

Our opinion on the financial report
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of Entertainment Rewards Ltd (the Company) and its controlled entities (together, the Group) is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2025 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001
What was audited?
We have audited the financial report of the Group, which comprises: the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2025, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year then ended, the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended, the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information, the consolidated entity disclosure statement, and the directors’ declaration.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates that the Group incurred a loss before tax of $9,655,088 and net cash outflows from operating activities of $6,796,466 during the year ended 30 June 2025 and, as of that date, the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $3,203,355. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
Revenue recognition –cut-off of revenue
Area of focus (refer also to note 2)
The Group primarily generates its revenue through membership subscriptions, gift card sales, and various fees and commissions earned through contractual or partnership arrangements.
Applying accounting standards to these revenue streams can be complex and may require judgment to determine whether the Group acts as an agent or principal in these transactions. It also involves assessing when performance obligations are satisfied and, consequently, the appropriate accounting period for revenue recognition at cut-off
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our audit procedures included:
Obtaining an understanding of the revenue streams and evaluating the appropriateness of the Group’s principles to ensure that revenue is recognised in accordance with the criteria outlined in AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers;
Understanding the management process for monitoring the recognition and deferral of revenue throughout the period;
Testing revenue transactions in the sales ledger on a sample basis through cash receipts and other supporting evidence;
Testing the deferred revenue recorded at year-end to ensure appropriate cut-off of revenue recognised during the year;
Assessing the appropriateness of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures in Note 2 of the financial report.
Accounting for amendments to convertible loan facility
Area of focus (refer also to notes 1 and 10)
As disclosed in Note 10 of the financial statements, on 31 December 2024 the Group executed a deed of amendment with Suzerain Investment Holdings (“Suzerain”), a related party, to vary the terms of its legacy convertible note facility. Amongst other things, the amendment removed the variability in the conversion price of the outstanding principal balance by fixing it at 2.2 cents per share, with the option to convert now exercisable at the Group’s discretion.
Management concluded that the removal of this variability resulted in the convertible loan facility meeting the definition of equity and accordingly reclassified the balance during the financial year.
The accounting for this amendment is inherently judgemental, requiring an assessment of the substance of the renegotiated terms, consideration of the contractual features, determination of whether Suzerain qualifies as an entity under common control, and other relevant factors in accordance with AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation
Other information
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our audit procedures included:
Reading the Deed of Amendment (“Deed”) entered into by the Group with Suzerain on 31 December 2024 and analysing its key terms and accounting implications ;
Obtaining a direct confirmation from Suzerain validating the key changes as described in the Deed and confirming the outstanding loan balance as at the date of the Deed;
Consulting with our technical accounting specialists to assess the appropriateness of management’s accounting position and compliance with AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation
Assessing the appropriateness of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures in Note 1 and Note 10 of the financial report.
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2025 but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of: the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001; and the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of: the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free of misstatement, whether due to fraud or error
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/media/bwvjcgre/ar1_2024.pdf
This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
