BikeExchange Limited Prospectus 3
Chairman’s Letter

Dear Investor,

On behalf of the Directors, it is my pleasure to offer you the opportunity to become a Shareholder in RPro
Holdings Limited (to be renamed “BikeExchange Limited”).

This Prospectus forms part of a broader transaction being undertaken by the Company, under which the
Company seeks to acquire 100% of the issued capital of BikeExchange TopCo. As part of the Proposed
Transaction, the Company proposes to change its name to “BikeExchange Limited”.

Completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to several condition precedent including the Company
receiving conditional approval from the ASX in relation to the Listing and successful completion of the Offers
under this Prospectus. See Section 2 of this Prospectus for further details of the Proposed Transaction.

Founded in 2007, BikeExchange is the world’s largest global cycling marketplace operating across
8 countries within four geographic hubs in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), North America, Europe
and Latin America (LATAM). The BikeExchange Group has a network of brands, retailers and distributors
that come together in a single destination marketplace and between FY18‑FY20 originated more than
$26.6 million in Total Transaction Revenue (“TTV”). During the 12‑month period from October 2019 to
September 2020, the BikeExchange Platform was visited by approximately 25.1 million consumers.
This traffic drove e‑commerce transactions and delivered approximately $1.05 billion of inventory and
sales leads to retailers and brands globally. BikeExchange currently has over 1,450 retailers and over
1,500 brands globally available on the platform providing ease, convenience and choice for consumers.

Globally, the cycling market (including accessories) has experienced strong growth due to a number of
factors, as discussed in Section 3, as governments accelerate and plan for changing consumer behaviour.
Further, there is a proactive shift by consumers for increased awareness of environmental, health and
convenience factors that attribute to the positive impacts of cycling whether it be for leisure, commuting
or for health and fitness.

The shift and increase in the online e‑commerce landscape has transformed the way consumers
purchase products and brought about awareness of online being a destination rather than a source
of viewing. Bike Exchange is powered by a global leading, purpose‑built technology platform without
the need for significant ongoing investment as a result of the licensing agreement with Marketplacer,
further discussed in Section 10. BikeExchange’s online model attracts and provides a range of consumers
with choices providing consumers a more convenient, transparent and efficient platform solution relative
to traditional marketplaces.

BikeExchange generates revenue via a subscription based recurring revenue model, through business
member subscriptions with retailers and brands. E‑commerce transactions occur through the platform
generating further scalable revenue through commissions.

4
BikeExchange has an experienced management team well positioned to deliver on the significant growth
opportunity ahead. The Board and executive team believe that BikeExchange’s growth trajectory is favourable
as it further penetrates the online bicycle and accessories market, broadens its reach into new geographic
areas and capitalise on new revenue opportunities as discussed in Section 4.

The Public Offer is seeking to raise $20 million and the net proceeds raised will be primarily deployed
towards growth initiatives. Please see the detailed use of funds outlined in Section 8.3.1.

This Prospectus contains detailed information about the Offers, the industry in which BikeExchange operates,
BikeExchange’s business and its financial and operating performance.

Key risks associated with an investment in the Company are set out in Section 6. It is important that
you read this Prospectus in its entirety before deciding whether to invest in the Company.

On behalf of the Directors, I look forward to welcoming you as a Shareholder.

Yours Sincerely

Gregg Taylor
Chairman

Reputational risks Maintaining the strength of BikeExchange’s reputation is an important part Section 6.2.14
of retaining and growing its retailer and consumer base as well as
maintaining BikeExchange’s relationships with partners who will assist in
successfully implementing BikeExchange’s strategy. There is a risk that
events may occur that may adversely impact on BikeExchange’s reputation,
which may adversely impact BikeExchange’s retailer and consumer base
as well as the willingness of third parties to partner with BikeExchange
on additional product offerings. This may have a negative impact on
BikeExchange’s future operations, financial performance and/or growth.

Forward looking The forward looking statements, opinions and estimates provided in this Section 6.2.15
statements Prospectus rely on various contingencies and assumptions, some of which
are described in Section 5. Various factors, both known and unknown,
may impact upon the performance of BikeExchange and cause its actual
performance to vary significantly from the expected results. There can be
no guarantee that BikeExchange will achieve its stated objectives or that
any forward looking statement or forecast will eventuate.

COVID‑19 Although BikeExchange has not been negatively materially affected by Section 6.2.16
the COVID‑19 pandemic, there is a risk that further lockdowns or the
implementation of further government restrictions in response to COVID‑19
could have an impact on marketplace engagement in turn causing a
downturn in the Business.

Challenges in As BikeExchange plans to continue expanding its cross‑border operations Section 6.2.17
expanding into existing and new markets, there is a risk that BikeExchange may face
cross‑border challenges (including legal or regulatory) in which it has limited or no
operations experience in dealing with. BikeExchange may be unable to anticipate
competitive conditions or could face other difficulties in attracting a
sufficient number of retailers and consumers in those new markets.

Foreign exchange As BikeExchange has operations in various jurisdictions, the revenues of Section 6.2.18
rate fluctuation entities in the BikeExchange Group are collected in different currencies.
This exposes BikeExchange to fluctuations in exchange rates, which
is beyond BikeExchange’s control. This could adversely impact the
profitability of BikeExchange’s foreign operations.

Continued growth The e‑commerce market may be impacted by a variety of factors outside Section 6.2.19
of E‑commerce BikeExchange’s control which could cause a slowing or contraction in the
market and as a consequence impact BikeExchange directly.

Search engine risks BikeExchange’s website may be excluded from or ranked lower in search Section 6.2.20
engine results due to changes to a search engine’s algorithms or other
ranking criteria that are outside of BikeExchange’s control. This may
decrease traffic to the BikeExchange website and adversely impact

SECTION 3
Industry
Overview
3  Industry Overview

3.1. Introduction
BikeExchange is a leading global online marketplace connecting retailers, brands and consumers through the sale of cycling
products and related cycling content. BikeExchange operates in the retail e‑commerce industry and offers over 600,000
products from over 1,500 brands across four geographic hubs servicing ANZ, the EU, North America and LATAM.
The global bicycle market consists of sales of bicycles (both manual powered and E‑Bikes), accessories and parts. Bicycles
are used by consumers as a mode of transportation, for sport or exercise, and for leisure and recreational activities.
A number of significant drivers are accelerating the growth of the bicycle industry, including:
• Health benefits: consumer preferences are shifting towards cycling as a sport, leisure, and cardio activity, with increased
awareness of the personal health benefits of cycling.
• Cycle tourism: increased focus on cycling tourism is accelerating the growth of the bicycle industry, with significant
expenditure on cycle tourism by tourists and tourism providers.
• Cycling for transport/commuting: as cities are becoming more crowded and car traffic lengthens commuting time,
commuters are increasingly turning to bicycles which may be faster than commuting via car or public transport.
Employers and local governments in key BikeExchange markets are supporting this shift towards bicycle commuting
through development of cycling infrastructure and incentives/initiatives.
• Cost effective: bicycles are a highly economical mode of transport, requiring no fuel or insurance and lower maintenance
costs than other personal modes of transport.
• Environmental‑consciousness: bicycles are environmentally sustainable and leave a limited impact with respect to air
pollution, noise pollution, and Greenhouse Gas emissions compared to auto transport.
These benefits of bicycles are expected to boost cycling adoption among end‑users and consequently drive the growth of
the market, which are discussed in Section 3.3.
Bicycles are typically sold directly to consumers through traditional bricks and mortar retailers (via distributors), or via online
channels direct to consumers. Major brands have embraced omni‑channel strategies to offer an improved customer
experience, and to streamline different channels such as click & collect, drop‑shipment and availability at independent
bicycle distributors (IBDs) as further discussed in Section 3.5.1.

The introduction of E‑Bikes has been one of many drivers of increased cycling participation globally. E‑Bikes now represent
the largest category of bikes sold in key EU markets.5 Over the next 5‑7 years there is significant E‑Bike growth potential in
the US, Australia and the UK where E‑Bike adoption is still in its infancy6.

3.2.1.  Australia and New Zealand (ANZ)


The Australian bicycle market including sales of parts and accessories was estimated at $780 million in FY20. The total
market is forecast to grow at 0.7% CAGR to FY257 reflected in Figure 3 below.
Approximately 1.2 million bicycles were sold in Australia in FY20. An estimated two‑thirds are sold via big box retailers and
sporting merchants such as Kmart, Big W, Target, Rebel Sport, Anaconda, and Decathlon. The remainder, approximately
400,000 bicycles, were sold via specialist retailers.
As specialist retailers sell higher‑quality branded bicycle and higher priced E‑Bikes, specialist retailers account for a greater
share of total market value versus big box retailers and sporting merchants8. BikeExchange operates a marketplace for
higher‑quality branded bicycles and E‑Bikes.

• Segment in infancy: E‑Bikes in Australia are a small share of new bicycle sales (3% of total sales in FY19 – approximately
25,000 units) compared to 8% EU wide and over 20% in some EU markets.
• Rapid growth projected: It is estimated that E‑Bikes sales will increase by 100% to 6% of new bicycle sales in FY20
(approximately 50,000 units), and the industry is targeting 10% share by FY23.
• Most sold by specialty retailers: Approximately 12% of all bicycles sold through the specialty channel are E‑Bikes.
The New Zealand bicycle market is estimated at NZD$92 million, with approximately 256,000 bicycles imported and sold
in the year to June 201912. From the 256,000 sold, E‑Bikes and scooters represent approximately 24.4% of bicycles imported
and sold, with a combined value of NZD$63.5 million, being 69% of the industry value13.
In New Zealand, 48,000 people use cycling as their main means of travel to work, making cycling the fastest growing mode
of transport in many cities. Approximately 73 million cycle trips are made each year within New Zealand. In a government
survey conducted in 2019, 19% of people had reported cycling in the past month14.

The shift to E‑Bikes and the related increase in average bicycle unit value has driven market value size and growth. Markets
with a high share of E‑Bike sales such as Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium, have higher market values. These markets
are already BikeExchange’s core markets in Europe. Secondary markets such as France, Spain, Denmark and Sweden,
with increasing volumes of E‑Bike growth and share24, would potentially provide an opportunity for BikeExchange to expand
its current operations to support future growth.
Germany’s bicycle market is valued at approximately €7 billion and has grown at a CAGR of 14.9% from 2015 to 2019,
Being driven by E‑Bike sales. There are currently 75.9 million bicycles in Germany, of which 5.4 million are estimated
to be E‑Bikes. The E‑Bike segment is anticipated to increase to up to 40% of share in the medium term25.
In 2019, the market for bicycles in the Netherlands was worth €1.3 billion and this has since grown at a CAGR of 8.2%
between 2014 to 201926. In 2019, 75% of bicycles sold in the Netherlands were via specialist bicycle dealers and shops
that typically sell higher value bicycles than those purchased through department or warehouse stores27.
In 2019, approximately 470,000 bicycles were sold in Belgium, 47% of which were E‑Bikes, the highest share of E‑Bike sales
of any European market28.

Globally, governments are increasing incentives to commute by bicycle and adding infrastructure to support bike
commuting34. In Australia and the US, commuting by bicycle is on the rise as government incentives increase, E‑Bikes
become more prevalent and cycling infrastructure is put in place.
There is ample room for growth as ~1% of commutes in the US and Australia are by bicycle compared to 30‑40% or more
in Belgium or the Netherlands35. As E‑Bikes increasingly penetrate the Australian and US markets, commuting will be
more attractive as mid‑range distances between work and home are more feasible on an E‑Bike.
The proportion of people globally who cycle to work during the three years from 2019 to 2022 is predicted to increase
by 1%36. Key cities have goals to increase cycling share by significant proportions as shown in Figure 8 below.

Current Target

Consumers, industry and governments are increasingly recognising the value and benefits of cycling. Globally, cycling
participation is increasing, driven by riding for commuting, leisure and exercise with E‑Bikes further expanding the cycling
participation rates. Local and federal governments are providing subsidies and incentives to drive cycling take‑up and
developing action and infrastructure plans to support increases in cycling activity.

3.3.2.  Environmental benefits38


Environmental awareness of active transport (cycling and walking) is increasing as a way for commuters to reduce CO2
emissions, air pollution and noise pollution. In the EU alone, it is estimated that cycling saves more than 16 million tonnes
of CO2 equivalents and corresponding fuel savings.

3.3.3.  Health benefits39


Cycling, and more broadly exercise, reduces mortality and morbidity, helps to prevent chronic disease and supports good
mental health. In the EU alone, it is estimated that cycling prevents approximately 18,000 premature deaths per year,
corresponding to an economic value of €52 billion annually.

3.3.4.  Convenience benefits40


In many cities, it is faster and cheaper to cycle to work compared with driving or public transport. Bicycles typically require
lower maintenance compared with other forms of transport and are space efficient, with a single car spot able to fit up to
15 bicycles at one time.

3.3.5.  Cycle tourism


Experiential tourism has been increasing over the past decade, and cycle tourism is a fast‑growing segment. There are an
estimated 2.3 billion cycle tourism trips per year in the EU, with an economic value of €44 billion41. In New Zealand, more
than 1.3 million cycle trips were taken by approximately 400,000 trail users in 2018. Cycle tourism contributed $37.4 million
towards the New Zealand Cycle Trail in 201642. Within North America, for the US economy cycle tourism contributed
USD$83 billion in 2017 to the domestic economy43.

3.3.6.  Financial incentives


Incentive programs which promote the purchase and use of both bicycles and E‑Bikes have been implemented in certain
EU countries and New Zealand. Figure 9 provides a high‑level summary of key initiatives in the markets BikeExchange
operates in.

As E‑Bikes are primarily sold via the specialty segment and have higher unit values, the specialty retail share of the market
is also expected to grow in line with E‑Bike sales growth. In markets where E‑Bikes have a significant share of new volume
such as Belgium and the Netherlands consumers are more likely to purchase a bicycle online, whereas in less developed
E‑Bike markets such as Australia, US and UK consumers are likely to use a ‘bricks and mortar’ touchpoint, for advice, testing,
purchase, pick‑up or a combination.

• Omni‑channel retailers may leverage their store footprints Fahrrad.de (GER)
as a separate delivery channel for their online operations,
offering services such as ‘click and collect’ and ‘ship to store’.
• Omni‑channel retailers can also offer bicycle servicing.

Online direct sellers • Source and purchase products from suppliers, which can BicyclesOnline (AU, US)

Bike24 (GER)

Online marketplaces • Sellers and consumers are connected by completing transactions BikeExchange (Multi‑region)
via an online marketplace.
Bike‑angebot (GER)
• Revenue is generated from commission charged on the value
of transactions completed.
• Offers sellers transaction services including processing payments
and fraud protection.
• Increased exposure and brand awareness for sellers.
• Capital light model as no warehousing or inventory required.
• Provides both online direct sellers and omni‑channel retailers
another channel to sell their products.

There is a rise in “Direct to Consumer” (DTC) oriented models, with DTC bicycle sales forecast to increase from low single
digits today to 10% or more by 202558.
Major brands have embraced omni‑channel strategies to provide a DTC channel to complement IBD and specialty retail
channels in multiple regions, examples include:
• Specialised: initially launched an integrated marketplace in EU (UK, the Netherlands and Belgium) and US, and is
expanding to Germany, Australia, Switzerland and Luxembourg59; and
• Trek US: continues to invest in innovation and building its e‑commerce program, allowing customers to purchase online
and pick up their assembled bicycle at a local Trek dealer.

38
This allows customers to interact directly with the brand and its dealers, both online and offline, bringing together different
channels: physical trade, click & collect, drop shipment, availability at IBDs and rider‑direct.
BikeExchange’s relationship with brands, IBDs and end consumers provide retailer and consumer flexibility:
• brands can ensure their products are delivered and tailored to the specific consumer via physical IBD locations,
or extend their DTC delivery via the extended reach of the BikeExchange marketplace;
• IBDs can leverage BikeExchange’s reach, with leads that they may otherwise not have access to; and
• consumers get broader visibility of products that are available, with the ability to purchase directly from an IBD
or via the BikeExchange e‑commerce Platform.

3.6.  Regulatory market


Australia does not manufacture bicycles domestically, with imported products subject to Australian standards.
Some accessories, specifically helmets, must be certified to Australian standards so are purchased onshore60.
Australia imposed a 5% tariff on most imported E‑Bikes (for example those imported from Taiwan and Europe) in January 2018,
however the growth of E‑Bikes has not been significantly impacted to date. Import tariffs into the EU to prevent Chinese
‘dumping’ of bikes are having limited impact on the market from a consumer perspective given over 60% of bicycles sold are
manufactured locally, with Chinese imports only representing approximately 4% of the market. Anti‑dumping duties have been
in place since 1993, with a current import tariff of up to 48.5% for non‑electrical bikes. Additional import duties have been in
place since 2013 for bicycles coming from other southeast Asian markets. In January 2019, duties of up to 79.3% were levied
on imports of Chinese E‑Bikes61.

3.7  COVID‑19 Industry Impact


COVID‑19 has accelerated growth in the market due to the increase in leisure and exercise cycling and workers’ desire
to reduce use of public transport. Further impact of COVID‑19 to BikeExchange’s operations is discussed in Section 4.3.

4.1.  Overview of BikeExchange


The BikeExchange Platform is one of the world’s largest online cycling marketplaces. The BikeExchange Platform
enables a network of brands, retailers and distributors to connect via a single destination marketplace.
BikeExchange was founded in Australia in 2007 with the simple purpose: “to fuel the passion for riding by making
it easy to buy and sell products and services related to cycling”. Since that time BikeExchange has grown to be a
systemised and scalable platform, now operating across eight countries servicing four geographic hubs in ANZ, EU,
North America and LATAM.
During the 12‑month period from October 2019 to September 2020, the BikeExchange Platform was visited by approximately
25.1 million consumers. This has driven e‑commerce transactions and delivered approximately $1.25 billion of inventory
sales leads to retailers and brands.
Currently, there are approximately 1,450 retailers and over 1,500 brands offering over 600,000 products on the BikeExchange
Platform providing ease, convenience and choice for consumers, and is proven at scale.

of Sale (POS) system and the BikeExchange Platform. Growth and global expansion to date has been achieved with limited
capital. BikeExchange has established a strong foundation to accelerate available growth opportunities and achieve
additional scale with the disciplined application of growth capital.

BikeExchange was founded in Australia in 2007. BikeExchange has established itself in four regional hubs across eight
countries with 40 employees. The expansion into other countries has occurred since 2014 on limited capital funding
(approximately $15 million) but significant work and effort has gone into establishing the businesses, networks,
relationships and sites. In particular BikeExchange has focused on:
• signing up cycling retailers and brands on a subscription basis to list their product inventories. Subscriptions represented
70% of revenue in FY20;
• activating integrations with the leading POS systems around the world; and
• developing strong traffic organically year on year – October 2018 to September 2019 vs. October 2019 to September 2020
saw a 53% increase in traffic globally to over 25.1 million visits and signed up members increasing to over 300,000 across
the eight markets.
This strong establishment and presence across the markets, in particular EU and US, will assist the Business significantly
in this new growth phase.
The strength of the BikeExchange proprietary platform technology has been demerged into a separate and standalone
business named “Marketplacer Pty Ltd” further discussed in Section 4.4.1.

4.2.  BikeExchange’s Business Model
4.2.1. Overview
BikeExchange aims to enable and consolidate the cycling industry into one destination for the benefit of consumers.
BikeExchange maintains two profiles of the marketplace platform:
1. Business customers: bicycle retailers, brands and distributors who can publish and sell their product inventories
on BikeExchange; and
2. Consumer audience: buyers of bicycles, E‑Bikes, parts and accessories. BikeExchange has developed deep data
and insights on the entire bicycle and bicycle accessories markets from online tracking of consumer usage behaviour
and live inventory integrations across brand and retailer activity.
BikeExchange’s business model generates revenue from three core activities:
1. Subscriptions: business member subscriptions to retailers and cycling‑related manufacturers and brands providing
a recurring monthly revenue stream;
2. E‑commerce transactions: transactions completed by consumers on the BikeExchange Platform; and
3. Media and other revenue: revenue generated from media sales of media inventory or content on BikeExchange
sold by brands and businesses; and revenue from classified listings, feature upgrades for product listings and other
ancillary services.
The data and insights product provides a revenue opportunity for the development of a subscription product that allows
industry to access the strong data and insights capabilities created by BikeExchange.

4  Business Overview  (continued)

4.2.1.1. Business Subscriptions
BikeExchange charges retailers and brands a monthly subscription fee which enables these business customers to list their
product inventories through the live product integration feeds that the business has created. Monthly fees range between
$100 and $5,000 depending on the type of retailer, brand or service levels included within the subscription.
The subscriptions enable retailers and brands to:
• access their own administration site for their presence on the BikeExchange Platform;
• publish and maintain their product listings on their retail or brand store within the BikeExchange Platform;
• access and view consumer enquiries and sales leads on their products;
• manage transactions and fulfill orders;
• trade and run promotions and other campaign activities on the BikeExchange Platform; and
• participate in promotions and campaign activities led by BikeExchange on a site‑wide basis e.g. targeted communications
to relevant audience profiles.
As of June 2020, BikeExchange had approximately 1,450 active and paying retailer and brand subscription accounts. In FY20
subscription revenue generated $2.6m representing 70% of revenue.

4.2.1.2. E‑commerce
The BikeExchange Platform facilitates e‑commerce transactions. Products are available across a range of options
which include buy online, click and collect, deposit payment, pre‑order and enquiry only.
When a consumer visits the site, at the point of purchase BikeExchange receives full payment from the consumer.
The retailer receives funds instantly from BikeExchange upon the fulfilment of the order, less a commission fee retained
by BikeExchange for the order enablement.

Retailer Fulfils Order


To Consumer

The product mix available on BikeExchange covers over 600 categories across bicycles, parts, accessories and apparel.
Commission rates vary globally and are dependent on the type of product. High value items such as bicycles have commission
rates which can be as low as 5%. Accessories can generate commission rates up to 25%. BikeExchange believes there is
elasticity to develop the commission levels further through different categories and markets. BikeExchange does not hold
any products as stock.
From July 2019 to June 2020, the Business enabled 20,954 e‑commerce transactions representing a 55% increase over
the previous corresponding period. This resulted in total e‑commerce gross transaction value of $9,100,000, representing
an 145% increase over the previous corresponding period.

Figure 24: BikeExchange e‑commerce revenue mix by geography

In August 2019, BikeExchange launched a Concierge Service to assist consumers with their cycling purchases. Concierge
staff match a consumer’s requirements with the right bicycles and retailers. The successful transactions occur on the
BikeExchange Platform with the option of full e‑commerce, click and collect, deposit payment or pre‑ordering on models
yet to arrive. This service will be developed further as both an embedded service and paid for service.
Based on the testing completed to date and applying dedicated tech‑enabled team resources, the Concierge Service is
anticipated to significantly improve conversion levels of enquiries to transactions on BikeExchange.

4.2.1.3. Media and other revenue


Media revenue
BikeExchange generates media revenue through:
• the automated purchase and management of digital advertising campaigns on a programmatic display media platform
implemented in the first half of FY20. The implementation of the programmatic display media platform has generated
ongoing revenue and increases based on traffic volumes;
• direct media deals with brands and industry. BikeExchange is yet to focus on direct media revenue to date however the
Business has progressed a key media partnership in the US which will assist with direct media deals in the region; and
• leveraging consumer database activity with specific communications and campaigns to support the platform, specific
brands and other activities such as site wide promotions.
COVID‑19 has affected the direct media industry in general in FY20 and thus far in FY21 at the date of this Prospectus.
The Business remains cautious with the media revenue but still see it as a tertiary revenue stream, albeit much smaller
than the subscription and E‑commerce components of the Business.

Other Revenue
Other revenue includes classified income from private second bicycle listings, fees for upgrading to feature product listings
on site (larger and more prominent positions) and some design service for brands and retailers to support their presence on the
BikeExchange Platform.
Media and other revenue generated $667,000 in FY20, representing 18% of net revenue.

Additional Revenue Opportunities


BikeExchange has created a significant data and insights capability. A central database contains all site activity across all
business customers and consumer activities. This data and insights capability has been utilised internally to help with
performance, trends and planning.
The industry wide, multi‑market nature of the data and insights is a unique capability. The data covers both cycling industry
relevant insights and consumer behaviours across search, enquiry and purchasing. The significant integrations with POS
systems has enabled visibility of live inventory and products available on the BikeExchange Platform, further deepening
the quality of insights related to stock availabilities and product trends.

46
BikeExchange has been redeveloping the existing data and insights visualisation dashboard with a view to creating a
subscription product providing deep insights across all eight markets aimed at brands and brand owners in the cycling
industry. This is intended to be launched before the end of the calendar year 2020 or beginning of the calendar year 2021.
The development of periodical reports is also considered as a significant growth opportunity with a subscriber fee
payable for access.
BikeExchange is also developing tools for deeper customer segmentation and personalisation in the form of a single
customer view product which will allow complete segmentation of the BikeExchange audience and relevant product
targeting to those consumers, based on their search, enquiry and purchasing history with the objective to ultimately
help increase conversion to sales and greater customer lifetime values.

4.2.2. BikeExchange Competitive Advantage


4.2.2.1. BikeExchange has established a network that enables both the cycling industry (retailers, brands and
distributors) to sell their products and scale their businesses and for consumers to have a dedicated destination
to research, enquire and buy cycling products.

Figure 25: BikeExchange network

CONSUMERS

BRANDS RETAILERS/
ONLINE

DISTRIBUTORS

4.2.2.2. BikeExchange supports independent retailers in an omni‑channel offering, by displaying the retailers’
inventories to a wider audience and enabling multiple transaction options including e‑commerce, click and collect,
deposit payment and pre‑order. This channel supports the retailers’ ability to build larger and deeper customer
relationships and improve foot traffic in store.
BikeExchange works with the brands and distributors to further enable the retailer and dealer network where
appropriate with transactions, allowing the consumers to shop by locality through BikeExchange.

4.2.2.3. BikeExchange Platform provides a low‑cost entry for retailers and brands and enables a competitive
e‑commerce solution which:
• enables BikeExchange’s business customers to create a strong and scalable e‑commerce solution without
needing to invest in and maintain their own standalone e‑commerce solution;
• opens immediate access to a large cycling focussed consumer audience who have strong buying intent;
• provides a fast and straightforward onboarding process supported by a dedicated customer team;
• provides simple and easily budgeted monthly subscription charges, including communications support
together with regular site wide consumer activities;
• uses a transparent e‑commerce commission model together with sales leads enquiry generation;
• gives dedicated customer support and service for business customers and consumers; and
• allows full control of product listings and ability to manage the account through the dedicated administration
site. The individual account administration site allows business customers to access their listings, fulfill orders
and obtain performance metrics across sales and enquiries.

BikeExchange Limited Prospectus 47
4  Business Overview  (continued)

4.2.2.4. Ease, convenience and choice for consumers. For many consumers purchasing a bicycle can be a time
consuming and lengthy process. BikeExchange simplifies this process by bringing together brands and products
in a single destination providing a convenient and easy way for consumers to research and ultimately make a
buying decision. The BikeExchange Platform as at October 2020 maintains a central categorised and searchable
product database with more than 600,000 product entries.

4.2.2.5. Maintained significant growth on a capital light basis. BikeExchange has managed to scale and grow
on limited capital investment to date, and with small marketing budgets. The emphasis has been on:
• signing up cycling retailers and brands on a subscription basis to list their product inventories and ensure good
consumer experience from a search to purchase. Subscriptions represented 70% of revenue in FY20;
• launched into a total of eight major markets across four global regions; the significant work in establishing and
generating momentum with each marketplace instance has been done in the EU, US and Colombian markets.
The Business sees a strong foundation to build off with appropriate capital growth;
• organic growth and search optimisation across products, category pages and content that helps the consumers
find what they need on their specific journey;
• significant integrations work with POS systems around the world to enable easy sign up, onboarding and
go‑live of retailers and brands onto the BikeExchange site; and
• working with brands and distributors to further connect up stock with the retailer and dealer networks.
This provides a seamless experience for consumers when shopping by location and further strengthens
the brand and dealer networks with stock and product availability.
Consumer traffic growth of consumer traffic in the six months to September 2020 grew by 90% to approximately
18 million compared to the same period in the prior year. FY20 traffic totalled approximately 23 million, a 35%
increase on FY19. This was all achieved without any significant performance marketing spend.
Total searches on site have increased 60% between October 2018 and September 2019 to October 2019 and
September 2020 with a total of 142 million searches. In the top 5 major categories (Mountain, Road, e‑bicycles,
children’s and commuting bikes) in the last quarter of FY20 vs PY searches increased by 128%.

4.2.2.6. BikeExchange Customers
i. Customer acquisition and onboarding
For business customers (cycling retailers, brands and distributors) the sign‑up process is straightforward and streamlined.
BikeExchange customers have a tiered subscription option to choose from and sign up to.
A dedicated sales and customer success team around the world manage the sales and onboarding process. The sign‑up
process from acceptance through to go‑live is made simple allowing for activation within days in many cases.

48
BikeExchange has made this process simple through the development of a broad range of integrations around the world
for POS systems. This allows live integrations of inventory from retailers POS systems to BikeExchange via Application
Program Interfacing (API). This makes it convenient for business customers to publish their products on the BikeExchange
Platform. These integrations are automated once a business customer has set up an existing account and allows for easy
updates and visibility of pricing and stock levels.
BikeExchange has created a purpose‑built connection panel in Europe to manage the specific POS systems in the region.
The BikeExchange Group utilise this across regions as well as a second connection panel in Australia.
BikeExchange has also integrated into brands and distributors, some requiring bespoke work. This creates greater positive
impacts, not only for inventory and product lines but also with the dealer networks that work with the brands and distributors.
The work invested in the integrations and development of the connection panels is a strong competitive advantage across
regions for BikeExchange, assisting any further scaling of the business.

ii. Customer site management


Each business customer has an administration site that provides easy control and ongoing maintenance of their respective
products. Their individual administration site also allows for full visibility and control of customer orders through BikeExchange.

Figure 27: BikeExchange Administration Site For Retailers & Brands

iii. Customer Technology Solution


BikeExchange offers a range of technology products and services to cycling retailers and brands on a subscription basis
aiming to enable them to sell more products and reach more consumers. These include:
• Retail store: A retail presence on the BikeExchange site that allows retailers to publish, list and sell – all controlled
centrally on their own administration site.
• Brand store or Brand Multistore: A presence on the BikeExchange site that allows brands to showcase their product
range for consumers. The brand multistore product allows a parent brand company or distributor to integrate with
their retailers and dealer networks. This allows consumers to further shop by location through their local retailers.
• Webstore: A standalone website utilising the same technology product suite. Retailers can publish their inventory
centrally from the central product database across both their BikeExchange account and their own website. The site
aims to make it easy for retailers to manage their entire online presence leveraging the dedicated BikeExchange
consumer audience.
• Media, Content and Design Support: An automated programmatic display advertising platform enabling brands,
retailers and wider industry to advertise on the BikeExchange Platform and reach their audience. Content editorial
across product reviews and wider informative cycling related content can also be published. BikeExchange focuses
on developing evergreen content that assists in the consumer journey when searching and looking to purchase a
specific cycling product.
• Data and insights: BikeExchange has developed a differentiated data and insights capability. This has been built over
the lifetime of the Business across cycling industry data and consumer behaviours. BikeExchange has the ability to
see data and insights across product searches, sales lead enquiries and sales across all categories, brands and retailers.
BikeExchange’s data and insights has the capability to assist with stock and inventory planning, demands and trends
within cycling.

BikeExchange Limited Prospectus 49
4  Business Overview  (continued)

BikeExchange has the opportunity to develop appropriate organic growth of the current average annual subscription
revenue per account (ARPA) of $2,955 by offering new technology products and wider integrated services to its business
subscription base. An example is the Webstore product which has organically been taken up by bicycle retailers and brands
as an additional subscription charge.

iv. Sales lead generation process and enquiries


BikeExchange generated over 550,000 sales leads and enquiries in FY20 into retailers and brands. On an annualised basis
from Q4FY20 this equates to 1.4 million sales leads and enquiries. These sales leads and enquiries are from active consumers
who are looking at individual product listings on BikeExchange. The consumers are at a highly considered point in the overall
consumer journey looking for a cycling related product.
Email sales leads and enquiries are all tracked through the BikeExchange administration site. Both individual retailers and
BikeExchange can monitor these enquiries.
The individual phone numbers of retailers require a consumer to click on it to reveal the full number and then call to speak
with the retailer or brand. While this is not completely attributable to a converted sale currently, BikeExchange has been
running attribution trials on phone call enquiries to track when consumers are viewing a product listing on BikeExchange
and then calling the retailer. The extensive trials over 16 weeks saw over 1,600 calls tracked over eight trial stores in the study.
The addresses of individual retailers are also revealed by consumers similar to that of the phone numbers, if the consumer
wishes to visit the store in person.
These enquiries are one key area of the business model and are important for retailers and brands either if they have
not enabled e‑commerce on the store account (enquiries only) or to support the e‑commerce functionality they have
on BikeExchange. The conversion of these sales leads and enquiries into sales is seen as one of the largest growth
opportunities of the Business.

4.2.2.7. BikeExchange consumer audience


Some statistics of the BikeExchange Platform are set out below:
• 39.2 million global annualised sessions on site;
• the average time spent on the sites (globally) is 3m 45s and 5.9 pages are viewed with each visit; and
• there is a 71%/29% male/female average audience split (based on Google Analytics FY20 across the markets in Australia,
Germany, US and Colombia).
Consumers come to the site either through knowledge of the site and are signed‑up members or 72.7% of traffic comes
organically through search engines and well optimised terms, categories and content.

4.3.  COVID‑19 Trading
During 2020, the impact of COVID‑19 has generated strong consumer interest in cycling as a category for commuting,
leisure, and exercise. The many benefits of cycling have been emphasised by the COVID‑19 pandemic, whether for getting
around and commuting, health and recreation and family riding.
Consumer behavioural changes have been accelerated and movement online and to e‑commerce has benefitted
BikeExchange. Consumers increasingly research and buy cycling products, in particular bicycles, online. Site traffic
increased by over 187% globally to BikeExchange Platform across the first half of the calendar year 2020 against the
previous year. This resulted in increased organic sourced traffic, with minimal performance marketing spend.
E‑commerce gross transaction value increased by 253% over the first half of calendar year 2020 compared to the first
half of calendar year 2019, with transaction numbers increasing by 123% for the same period. Sales lead enquiries also
grew by 90%. This momentum has continued through Q1 FY21.
Prior to COVID‑19 the Business had been working hard with onboarding quality retailers and brands ensuring good
products and ranges were available. This work has helped with the overall experience and growth with the increased
platform visitations.
The Business is encouraged by the ongoing behavioural changes that are being seen of the pandemic. Traffic visitation has
continued to be higher than the previous year’s volumes at 25.1 million (October 2019 to September 2020 a 53% increase
and e‑commerce TTV has also continued to grow.
The Business has continued with very modest marketing spends ($359,000 globally across all activities in FY20) but is
planning very targeted and strategic performance marketing to assist with further conversion of e‑commerce transactions
on site for retailers and brands as well as new purchasers on site.
With the application of capital growth in areas outlined in the growth strategy, BikeExchange is confident that the demand
and growth that has been experienced, through the pandemic, will continue. This is further supported with the shift of
consumer online behaviour, active transport and every day cycling usage, as well as investment in cycling infrastructure
being accelerated by cities and countries around the world.

4.4.  Technology platform


4.4.1.  Marketplace Core Technology
BikeExchange licenses from Marketplacer, the Marketplacer technology platform, a dedicated marketplace technology.
Each country domain runs a separate instance of the platform to accommodate the regional distribution of cycling products
globally and the country specific retailers.
The Marketplacer core technology platform was created by Marketplacer for BikeExchange and was initially built for the
cycling category. BikeExchange now benefits from wider functionality and feature updates with the platform from a variety
of categories – together with its own requests and enhancements.
The platform is fully supported by Marketplacer and benefits from on‑going functionality enhancements and new features
provided by Marketplacer that assist both the paying business subscribers and consumers.
The platform has a high degree of customisation capability for BikeExchange to help with the day‑to‑day running of the
business. The Marketplacer API allows BikeExchange to integrate with many partner services and businesses for both
inventory needs, additional functionality and services and other areas.
The Marketplacer Agreements each have a 5‑year term with an automatic renewal for 24 months, unless the BikeExchange
Hub issues a termination notice three months’ prior to the initial expiry date. The agreement also allows for first rights on new
markets of expansion for the BikeExchange brand and platform, see Section 10.5.3 for further information.

4.4.2.  BikeExchange Integrations with POS Systems


BikeExchange has invested in integrations with 32 separate POS systems and 811 separate integrations with retailers
and brands globally.
BikeExchange has developed its own connections panel which allows POS systems to interact with the BikeExchange
product database. BikeExchange has integrations with leading POS systems including Lightspeed, Ascend, Woo Commerce,
Shopify, Magento, Cycle Software, Tridata, Adsoft, Big Commerce, Neto, e‑vendo, velo.port, Magento and Retail Express.
This has created convenient access to live inventory and makes product listings relevant and real‑time on site.

BikeExchange Limited Prospectus 57
4  Business Overview  (continued)

This significant piece of work in building the connections panel greatly assists with the further scaling of retailers and
brands through automated product uploads from their own accessible BikeExchange administration site. These integrations
provide a largely seamless process for making products live on site and representing cycling brands and products
appropriately, with accurate and consistent product descriptions, specifications, imagery and availabilities with stock levels.

4.4.3.  Payment Platforms:


BikeExchange offers payment options through:
• Braintree (Australia and US) which allows for payments across Visa, Mastercard and American Express, Kount fraud
protection is built within the Braintree platform;
• Adyen (EU) which allows for payments across Visa, Mastercard and Amex;
• Zooz/ePayco (Colombia) which allows for payments across Visa, Mastercard and Amex;
• Paypal for Paypal (all markets) transactions and credit card transactions; and
• Afterpay for buy now pay later instalment payments (Australia and US).

4.4.4.  BikeExchange Central Product Database


BikeExchange manages a central product database of over 600,000 cycling products. This makes it easy for products to be
enabled and published on BikeExchange when integrations with the many POS systems are made with retailers and brands.

4.4.5.  Mobile Site and BikeExchange App


The BikeExchange website is fully dynamic for usage on mobile devices. BikeExchange has developed a native mobile
application, the BikeExchange App, of which it owns the intellectual property. The mobile app has been downloaded
approximately 95,000 times since 1 July 2015 (86% IOS and 14% Android downloads). Beyond maintenance, there has been
limited investment in the mobile app over the last four years and BikeExchange is planning to further invest and redevelop the
mobile application to enhance it and expected to provide an even stronger consumer experience in the third quarter of FY21.

4.5.  Growth strategies


BikeExchange has demonstrated a track record of customer and revenue growth. BikeExchange plans to continue to grow
its revenue organically by capturing a greater market share in existing geographies and subscription segments of the bicycle
market. BikeExchange is focussed on seven key growth initiatives, which include:
1. conversion of sales leads enquiries;
2. increase business customer accounts and subscriptions;
3. strategic partnerships with brands and industry;
4. personalisation and loyalty program for consumers and app redevelopment;
5. data and insights subscriptions product launch;
6. further appropriate country expansion; and
7. strategic acquisitions within the industry to help scale the Business.

4.5.1.  Conversion of sales leads enquiries


Converting the substantial sales leads and enquiries, totalling $1.05 billion in value for FY20, generated through the
BikeExchange Platform into e‑commerce transactions is a key area of focus through Concierge team members and
some automation enhancements on site.
A strategic and focussed use of performance marketing across digital channels, in particular retargeting of audiences
who have visited BikeExchange is planned for the second half of FY21. The Business is currently running global trials
around targeting and converting of existing audiences on site across multiple channels, e.g. Google and Facebook
with positive results. Information gained from these trials will be used in longer term campaign activity.
The Business also sees scope in reviewing commission levels taken on e‑commerce transactions and increasing them
appropriately across different categories of products therefore increasing the overall commission rates that contribute
to net revenue.

58
4.5.2.  Increase business customer accounts and subscriptions
The Business will prioritise customer acquisition and organic growth of quality retailers and brand accounts through
customer success teams. This will grow both underlying subscription revenues and e‑commerce consumption revenues
through commissions.
Focussing on retailers and brands that onboard good ranges of products can enhance the customer experience with
additional convenience and choice.
More premium subscriptions with brand stores and brand multistores will also continue to be a growth area. The Business
will support these store presences as the brand multistores provide significant benefit to the dealer networks, connecting
them with the parent brands and further generating both sales and leads to them. This also provides a greater pool of live
and trading individual retailers on the BikeExchange Platform.

4.5.3.  Data and insights subscription product launch


Data and insights generated to date have been utilised internally to help with performance and trends. BikeExchange is
packaging the data and insights into a usable subscription product and service for the cycling industry. It will provide deep
insights into category activity, trends and consumer behaviour (across search, enquiry and purchasing activity) across all
eight markets.

4.5.4.  Strategic partnerships with brands and industry


Targeting more industry partnerships that work with brands to help them sell more of their products while mobilising
and engaging their retailer network will play an important role as BikeExchange continues to grow.
BikeExchange has announced (in September 2020) a key partnership with Trek USA to enable their dealer network of 1,500
cycling stores to join the BikeExchange Platform and sell specific model lines and to ship across states in the US. This is an
important growth strategy in the US market with a quality brand and retailer footprint. A description of this agreement is
outlined in section 10.6 of this Prospectus.

4.5.5.  Personalisation and loyalty program for consumers and app redevelopment
The core aim is to offer relevance in products and increase the overall customer lifetime value with BikeExchange through
further purchases and ongoing loyalty by the customer base. To date customer segmentation and personalisation has only
been lightly done but trialled with success through targeted email marketing to segmented audience groups. Implementing
an always on customer personalisation approach, through data, will:
• enhance the experience for consumers through relevance;
• increase e‑commerce transactions on BikeExchange; and
• increase average order values by market (Global Average Order Value $436) and the ongoing customer lifetime value.
A consumer loyalty program, on the product roadmap for FY21, will aim to reward the most active and valuable consumers.
The BikeExchange native application redevelopment, on the product roadmap for FY21, is targeted to enhance consumer
experience and enable greater personalisation strategies.

4.5.6.  Further appropriate country expansion


The BikeExchange Platform and model can be replicated in new markets as clearly demonstrated over the Business’
lifetime. While the focus is on growing markets and regions to an optimum level first, appropriate market expansion
is an important future growth strategy.
Leveraging the Business’ presence in Colombia to service other LATAM markets centralises sales resources while
maximising marketing potential. EU expansion would also likely evolve on a similar model as BikeExchange currently
operate in Germany, Belgium and Netherlands and could potentially service other countries in the region.

4.5.7.  Strategic acquisitions within the industry to help scale the business
The appropriate acquisition of key businesses and services that can enhance the BikeExchange proposition, helping both
the growth and the customer experience of the Business will be considered.

Information
5  Financial Information

5.1. Introduction
As set out in Section 2 of this Prospectus, the Proposed Transaction includes the Company acquiring 100% of the share
capital of BikeExchange TopCo as part of the IPO process. Pursuant to the Restructure described in Section 10.4, BikeExchange
TopCo will acquire 100% of the share capital of BikeExchange Pte Ltd, which holds the investments in BikeExchange’s
various trading subsidiaries. The interposition of BikeExchange TopCo is being undertaken in order to streamline the
corporate structure and regulatory obligations of the BikeExchange Group. The interposition is not dependent or conditional
on the Listing.
The Aggregated Historical Financial Information referred to below is for the BikeExchange Group, which at 30 June 2020 did
not share a common parent entity, and therefore consolidated financial information could not be prepared. The Aggregated
Historical Financial Information does not include the Company’s historical income statements, statement of cash flows or
statement of financial positions as the Company is an investment vehicle and the only material balance sheet item is cash
and cash equivalents (refer to Figure 5.12) and therefore the Company’s historical financial information is not considered
meaningful in the context of assessing BikeExchange’s performance.
The financial information contained in this Section 5 includes the Aggregated Historical Financial Information and Pro Forma
Aggregated Historical Financial Information for the financial years ended 30 June 2018 (FY18), 30 June 2019 (FY19) and
30 June 2020 (FY20), being the Financial Information (Financial Information) as summarised in Figure 5.1 below.

Historical Cash Flows); and
• Pro Forma Aggregated Historical Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2020
(Pro Forma Aggregated Historical Statement of Financial Position).

The Financial Information should also be read in conjunction with the risk factors set out in Section 6, the significant
accounting policies of BikeExchange as set out in Appendix A and the other information contained in this Prospectus.
Also summarised in this Section 5 are:
• the basis of preparation and presentation of the Financial Information (Section 5.2) including the application of accounting
standards in the Aggregated Historical Financial Information (Section 5.2.3);
• an explanation of certain financial measures that are neither recognised by the Australian Accounting Standards Board
(AASB) or under the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board (IASB) that are used by BikeExchange and included in this Prospectus to assist investors in understanding the
financial performance of BikeExchange’s business (Section 5.2.3.5) (non‑IFRS financial measures);
• a summary of BikeExchange’s key pro forma operating and financial metrics (Section 5.3.2);
• the pro forma adjustments to the Aggregated Historical Financial Information and reconciliations to the Pro Forma
Aggregated Historical Financial Information (Section 5.3.3);

5  Financial Information (continued)

• Management discussion and analysis of the Pro Forma Aggregated Financial Information (see Section 5.8); and
• a summary of BikeExchange’s proposed dividend policy (see Section 5.14).
The Financial Information has been reviewed by Deloitte Corporate Finance (Investigating Accountant) in accordance with
the Australian Standard on Assurance Engagements (ASAE) 3450 Assurance Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings
and/or Prospective Financial Information, as stated in its Investigating Accountant’s Report on the Financial Information.
Investors should note the scope and limitations of the Investigating Accountant’s Report on the Financial Information
(refer to Section 9).
All amounts disclosed in the tables are presented in Australian dollars and unless otherwise noted, are rounded to
the nearest thousand dollars. Rounding of figures provided in the Financial Information may result in some immaterial
differences between the sum of components and the totals outlined within tables and percentage calculations.

5.2.  Basis of preparation and presentation of the financial information


5.2.1. Overview
The Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Financial Information.
The Financial Information included in this Prospectus is intended to present potential investors with information to assist
them in understanding the historical financial performance, cash flows and financial position of BikeExchange.
The Aggregated Historical Financial Information has been prepared and presented in accordance with the recognition
and measurement principles of Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) issued by the AASB, which are consistent with
IFRS and interpretations issued by the IASB, except for the requirements of the AAS listed below:
• AASB 3 – Business Combinations
• AASB 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements
• AASB 133 – Earnings Per Share
The Significant Accounting Policies (SAP) adopted in the preparation of the historical financial information are set out in
Appendix A and have been consistently applied throughout the financial periods presented in this Prospectus unless
stated otherwise.
The Pro Forma Aggregated Historical Financial Information has been prepared solely for inclusion in this Prospectus
and has been derived from the Aggregated Historical Financial Information, adjusted for:
i. certain transactions including completion impacts of the transaction with the Company;
ii. the exclusion of certain transactions that occurred in the relevant periods; and
iii. the impact of certain transactions as if they occurred on or before 30 June 2020 in the Aggregated Historical
Financial Information.
The Pro Forma Aggregated Historical Financial Information does not represent the actual financial position, financial
performance or cash flows of BikeExchange. The Company believes that the Pro Forma Aggregated Historical Financial
Information provides useful information as it permits investors to examine what it considers to be the underlying financial
performance and cash flows of the business presented on a consistent basis.
The Financial Information is presented in an abbreviated form insofar as it does not include all the presentation and
disclosures required by the AAS and other mandatory professional reporting requirements applicable to general purpose
financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act.
In addition to the Financial Information, Section 5.2.3.5 describes certain non‑IFRS financial measures that are used to
manage and report BikeExchange’s business that are not defined under or recognised by AAS or IFRS.

5.2.2.  Segment Information


BikeExchange’s geographic business segments are the Australian & New Zealand, European, North American and
Colombian operations. The business segments qualify as operating segments under AASB8 Operating Segments.
The Directors assess the financial performance of each segment of BikeExchange for the purposes of managing and
allocating resources. Segmental analysis of BikeExchange’s performance is set out throughout Section 5.4 and 5.8.

62
5.2.3.  Preparation of the Financial Information
The Aggregated Historical Financial Information has been extracted from the aggregated financial statements for the
BikeExchange Group for FY18, FY19 and FY20 respectively (Aggregated Financial Statements). The Aggregated Financial
Statements were audited by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Deloitte Touche
Tohmatsu issued an unmodified audit opinion on the Aggregated Financial Statements.
In preparing the Special Purpose Aggregated Financial Statement for the BikeExchange Group the requirements of the
following AAS have not been fully complied with: AASB 3 Business Combinations; AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements;
and AASB 133 Earnings Per Share. AASB 3 and AASB 10 were applied to the fullest extent possible to transactions occurring
and in the presentation of the Aggregated Financial Statements, but could not be fully complied with, as there was no
common controlling entity for the Company and the BikeExchange Group at 30 June 2020. No Earnings per Share measure
was disclosed as there was no single controlling entity (and therefore number of shares) to apply to the aggregated group
at 30 June 2020.
The Aggregated Financial Statements have been prepared for the BikeExchange Group as at 30 June 2020, which was
before the acquisition of BikeExchange TopCo by the Company had been completed, and therefore for FY18, FY19 and
FY20 there is no common parent entity for the Company and the BikeExchange Group to allow consolidated financial
statements to be prepared.
As such, the Aggregated Historical Financial information includes the following companies:

Name Principal place of business/Country of incorporation

BikeExchange TopCo Australia

BikeExchange Pte Ltd Singapore

BikeExchange Pty Ltd Australia

BikeExchange Inc USA

BikeExchange DE Vertriebs GmbH Germany

BikeExchange Colombia Colombia

Each company is directly or indirectly owned 100% by BikeExchange TopCo, with the exception of BikeExchange Colombia,
which is owned 50% and equity accounted in the Aggregated Historical Financial Information.
Bike Exchange Pte Ltd owns 100% of the share capital of BikeExchange Marketplace Ltd (UK) and BikeExchange Limited
(Ireland). These entities are not consolidated in the Aggregated Historical Financial Information as they had ceased trading
prior to 30 June 2020 and their inclusion would not provide additional information in assessing the historical performance
of BikeExchange.
The historical financial information for the Company has been extracted from the Company’s statutory financial statement
for the year ended 30 June 2020 which has been audited by Crowe in accordance with AAS. Crowe issued an unmodified
audit opinion on these statutory financial statements.
The Pro Forma Aggregated Historical Financial Information has been prepared for the purposes of inclusion in this Prospectus
and has been derived from the Aggregated Historical Income Statements and the Aggregated Historical Cash Flows and
Aggregated Historical Statement of Financial Position after reflecting the following pro forma adjustments:
• the removal of impairment charges and losses on disposal incurred following the sale of investments in Cycling Tips
Media Pty Ltd, Cycling Tips Media Inc. and BikeFix Mobile Pty Ltd in FY18 and FY19;
• the removal of impairment charges in relation to of BikeExchange Marketplace Ltd (UK) and BikeExchange Limited
(Ireland) following the decision in FY20 to liquidate these companies;
• the impact of the Offers, including Offer costs that are expensed and other historical adjustments made as a result of
completion impacts;

BikeExchange Limited Prospectus 63
5  Financial Information (continued)

• the inclusion of the estimated incremental costs of being a publicly listed company, including additional Board and
governance costs, incremental audit, tax, legal and compliance costs, and ASX listing fees (excluding share options
costs); and
• the inclusion of the income tax effect of the above pro forma adjustments.
Investors should note that past results are not a guarantee of future performance.
Figure 5.5 and Figure 5.6 set out the pro forma adjustments made to the Aggregated Historical Income Statements and a
reconciliation of the Aggregated Historical Income Statements to the Pro Forma Aggregated Historical Income Statements.
Figure 5.9 sets out the pro forma adjustments made to the Aggregated Historical Cash Flows and a reconciliation of the
Aggregated Historical Cash Flows to the Pro Forma Historical Cash Flows.
The Pro Forma Historical Statement of Financial Position is derived from the Aggregated Historical Statement of Financial
Position, and is adjusted to reflect the impact of the Offers, including
• the acquisition by the Company (which, subject to completion to of the Proposed Transaction and confirmation under
AASB 3 – Business Combinations, will be treated as a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes);
• the funds to be raised under the Public Offer; and
• the costs directly attributable to the Offers as if it had occurred as at 30 June 2020.
Under the Proposed Transaction, the Company will acquire 100% of the share capital of BikeExchange TopCo. The acquisition
of BikeExchange TopCo (the legal acquiree) by the Company (the legal acquirer) is deemed to be a reverse acquisition,
since the substance of the Proposed Transaction is such that all BikeExchange Shareholders will collectively obtain control
of the Company.
Figure 5.12 sets out the pro forma adjustments made to the Historical Statement of Financial Position and a reconciliation
of the Historical Statement of Financial Position to the Pro Forma Historical Statement of Financial Position.
The Pro Forma Historical Statement of Financial Position is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not represented
as being necessarily indicative of the future financial position of BikeExchange.

5.2.3.1. Foreign Exchange
Foreign exchange rates used to translate foreign currency amounts of transactions and balances used in the financial
statements over the historical period into Australian dollars are provided in Figure 5.2 below.

5.2.3.2. Disposal of business/businesses ceasing trading


BikeExchange’s investments in Cycling Tips Media Pty Ltd, Cycling Tips Media Inc. and BikeFix Mobile Pty Ltd were disposed
of in FY19. Impairments were made against the equity investments and funding loans in the FY18 and FY19 income statements.
A pro‑forma adjustment has been made to the Aggregated Historical Financial Information to remove the recorded loss
on disposal.
Bike Exchange Pte Ltd owns 100% of the share capital of BikeExchange Marketplace Ltd (UK) and BikeExchange Limited
(Ireland). These entities operated separate BikeExchange marketplaces in the UK and Ireland respectively. The directors
of BikeExchange Pte Ltd decided to exit these markets in October 2019, with operations ceasing by March 2020.
These entities are both in the process of being liquidated. A pro‑forma adjustment has been made to the Aggregated
Historical Financial Information to remove the impairment loss incurred in relation to the above entities based on the
decision to liquidate the companies.

64
5.2.3.3. Critical accounting policies and judgements
Preparing financial statements in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) requires the use of critical
accounting estimates. It also requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in the application
of accounting policies that affect the reported amounts in the aggregated financial statements. Management continually
evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets and liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenues and expenses.
Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors,
including expectations of future events management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting
accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. Uncertainty about these assumptions
and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities
affected in future periods.
The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of, assets and liabilities within the next financial year include determining the lease term of contracts with renewal
and termination options (BikeExchange as lessee) and provisions for make good; recovery of deferred tax assets; estimation
of useful lives of assets; impairment of non‑financial assets; provision for expected credit losses of trade receivables and
contract assets; employee benefits and leases – estimating the incremental borrowing rate, as described in the significant
accounting policies adopted in Appendix A.

5.2.3.4. Forecast Financial Information


The Directors have considered the requirements of ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 ‘Prospective Financial Information’ (RG170)
to determine if forecast financial information should be included in this Prospectus. The Directors have determined that,
as at the date of this Prospectus BikeExchange does not have a reasonable basis to reliably forecast future earnings or cash
flows and accordingly forecast financial information is not included within this Prospectus.
The international retail environment, consumer confidence and consumer spending are expected to remain volatile in a
COVID‑19 environment throughout 2021.

5.2.3.5. Explanation of certain non‑IFRS measures


BikeExchange uses certain measures to manage and report on business performance that are not recognised under AAS
or IFRS. These measures are collectively referred to in this Section 5 and under ASIC Regulatory Guide 230 Disclosing
non‑IFRS financial information as “non‑IFRS financial measures”.
These non‑IFRS financial measures do not have a prescribed definition under AAS or IFRS and therefore may not be directly
comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other entities. These should not be construed as an indication of, or an
alternative to, corresponding financial measures determined in accordance with AAS or IFRS.

of customer payments. Customers pay for e-commerce transactions when they order goods and retailers are paid for these goods (less BikeExchange’s
commission revenue) 7-14 days after the goods have been collected/shipped. Changes in working capital exclude the impact of non-cash adjustments
such as liabilities settled by the issuance of equity.
3 Net cash flow on disposal of business/Investments includes the cash flows on disposal of Cycling Tips Media Pty Ltd and Cycling Tips Media Inc
and BikeFix Mobile Pty Ltd – this has been adjusted as a pro forma adjustment (see Section 5.5.2).
4 Proceeds on Disposal of Asset includes disposal of property, plant and equipment in the ordinary course of business.
5 Capital expenditure represents cash flows to purchase intangible assets (such as software) and property plant and equipment (such as general plant
and leasehold improvements).
6 Other investing cash flows include cash payments to Joint Ventures and other cash flows relating to cash deposits.
7 Net proceeds/(repayments) of borrowings represents the net cash flows from related party loan funding received in the period. The majority of these
loans were converted to equity to settle.

operations. The Company expects that BikeExchange will have sufficient cash resources to meet its business needs and
will have sufficient working capital to carry out its stated objectives.
BikeExchange’s ability to generate sufficient cash depends on its future performance which, to a certain extent, is subject
to a number of factors beyond the Company’s control including general economic, financial and competitive conditions.

The Aggregated Statement of Financial Position had a net current deficiency of $7.1 million and a net asset deficiency of

financial performance in the future. Unless otherwise stated, all metrics and financial information presented in this section,
and the related commentary is on a pro forma basis only. Investors should refer to section 5.3.2 for key operating metrics.
The information in this section should be read in conjunction with the risk factors set out in Section 6 and the other
information contained in this Prospectus

5.8.2.  Total Transaction Value (“TTV”)


TTV is the total dollar value of all transactions that are executed on the BikeExchange Platform (stated exclusive of GST
or other sales taxes) and represents the aggregate gross value of all e-commerce transactions and sales revenue that are
captured on the platform. TTV in absolute value and trend terms is considered by management to be the most important
operating metric to manage and predict the overall performance of the business.
TTV is based on the following categories of transactions:
• total e-commerce gross transaction value, which is calculated as the gross merchandise value of all orders transacted
on the BikeExchange network of websites including postage fees but net of any sales discounts and taxes.
• total subscription revenue, which is calculated as the total of all subscription fees paid by Retail Subscription Accounts
(RSA) (and their affiliates) that advertise on the BikeExchange network of websites; and
• total media and other revenue, which includes display and media advertising sales and other online sales.
Figure 5.14 below represents the TTV that occurred on the platform over the historical period.

Subscription Revenue Gross E-Commerce Media and Other Revenue

TTV has grown from $7.0 million in FY18 to $12.3 million in FY20 representing a CAGR of 33.2% over the period. Gross
e-commerce transaction value is the main driver of growth in TTV over the period, which has grown from $3.3 million in
FY18 to $9.1 million in FY20 representing 67.6% CAGR over the period reflecting the performance in each geographic region,
as discussed further below. In FY20 e-commerce transaction value represented 74.0% of TTV. The growth in TTV from
e-commerce transaction value over the period was slightly offset by reductions in subscription and other revenue.
As set out in section 5.11 on a lookthrough basis BikeExchange’s 50% share of TTV and revenue for BikeExchange Colombia
for FY20 was $0.8 million and revenue was $0.3 million.
Gross e-commerce transaction value is the main driver of TTV growth and dependent on website traffic levels, conversion
rates of traffic to sales and the average e-commerce transaction value.
Based on the unaudited management accounts, growth in TTV and revenue accelerated in Q4 FY20 with BikeExchange
recording TTV of $6.2 million and revenue of $1.04 million in that period. On a lookthrough basis, BikeExchange’s 50% share
of TTV and revenue for BikeExchange Colombia for Q4 FY20 was $0.4 million and revenue was $0.15 million.

ANZ Europe North America

Europe comprised the largest segment of TTV accounting for 47.0% in FY20 and is the fastest growing geographic segment,
achieving a CAGR of 76.2% over the historical period. The European business has benefitted from strong demand for bikes
for transportation and in particular e‑bikes. In addition, Europe generally has a higher average order value, as the European
websites sells a higher proportion of bikes and e‑bikes compared to parts, accessories and apparel, in part reflecting the
local retailers strong support for online transactions on higher value bikes. The European business has also placed focus
on further integrations with POS systems and product database work enabling more retailers and products to be advertised
on the BikeExchange Platform.

76
ANZ TTV declined by 12% between FY18 to FY19 reflecting a reduction in the number of retail subscribers, this resulted in
negative impact on goods available for e‑commerce during the period. The business sought to focus on high quality retailer
accounts and introduced new brand and multistore products. Brand/multistore accounts are umbrella parent accounts
linked to a single brand, distributor or retailer group which allows related retailers to the parent account to list relevant
inventory through a single destination webpage (as set out further in section 4.2.2). Overall retail account numbers grew
throughout FY19 driving stronger subscription revenues in FY20.
North America TTV grew 11% in FY19 and 27% in FY20, primarily driven by higher e‑commerce transaction volumes
reflecting improved traffic levels and conversion rates, with subscription and other revenues remaining broadly flat over the
historical period.
All regions benefitted from strong COVID‑19 influenced demand for e‑commerce in FY20, Q4 FY20 grew strongly on
previous periods.

5.8.3. Revenue
BikeExchange achieves revenue from the TTV categories described in section 5.8.2 being:
• commission revenue received from an e-commerce transaction, whereby a percentage of a transaction order value is
retained by the Company from the retailer as payment for enabling the product sale.
• subscription revenue is generated from fees paid by RSA (including affiliates), brand stores and brand multistores.
• media and other revenue which includes:
– media revenue from an automated programmatic display system which trades the global inventory available;
– direct media sales consisting of media inventory or content displayed on the platform on behalf of brand and
retail customers;
– other revenue which includes private sale of second‑hand bikes through classified listing, feature listing upgrades
for product listings and other ancillary services.
BikeExchange generates revenue in all categories in each of the three geographic regions to which the Pro Forma
Aggregated Historical Income Statement relates. Revenues generated in these geographic regions are based on transaction
denominated in local currency, which are converted to the Australian Dollar equivalent at the foreign currency rates set out
in Section 5.2.3.1.

Subscription Revenue Media and Other Revenue E-Commerce Commissions

BikeExchange Limited Prospectus 77
5  Financial Information (continued)

Revenue increased from FY18 to FY19 by 0.8% to $3.9 million. For the period FY19 to FY20 revenue declined by 6.8% to
$3.7 million. The reduction in revenue over the most recent period is mainly attributable to a reduction in subscriptions
revenues driven by the re‑focussing of the subscriber base globally to high quality retailer accounts and a shift in the
composition of retailer revenues away from fixed subscriptions to including variable e‑commerce transaction fees for those
retailers offering goods for purchase online. In addition, other revenues declined which was primarily driven by a reduction
in direct media revenues. E-commerce revenues increased significantly over the historical period driven by higher
e‑commerce transaction volumes.
Consumer behavioural changes during COVID‑19 accelerated the movement online and to e‑commerce which has
benefitted BikeExchange. Consumers increasingly research and buy cycling products, in particular bicycles, online resulting in
increased organic sourced traffic to the network of websites which has been achieved on limited performance marketing spend.

5.8.3.1. Subscription revenue
Subscription revenue is historically the largest contributor to revenue and represented 69.5% of total revenue in FY20.
Subscription revenue decreased from $2.7 million in FY18 to $2.6 million in FY20 representing a CAGR of ‑6.6% over the period.
Subscription fees are generated for the period that the BikeExchange hosts the store on its website. Revenue in this
segment is generally influenced by the number of active subscriber accounts advertising on the site and the quantum
of monthly fee charged to accounts.
Subscription revenues have decreased slightly from $2.7 million in FY18 to $2.6 million in FY20 as the mix of subscription
types and the rates of subscription have altered across markets. BikeExchange has focused on increasing the quality of its
partnerships over the period, driving improved focus on retailers growing brand, multistores and web stores, and making
more products e-commerce enabled on the platform. This strategy has resulted in smaller retailers as a percentage of total
retailer numbers falling over the period supplemented by growing numbers of multistore and brand account numbers
(particularly in ANZ across FY20). Multistore and brand account stores pay an umbrella subscription fee for a network of
linked retailers and grew over 8x between FY19 and FY20.

Retail Subscriber Numbers


Figure 5.17 below illustrates the average number of retail subscriber accounts for that financial year over the historical period.
This metric only includes retailers directly paying subscriptions and does not include all active accounts on the platform
connected through the brand multistores or other products.

FY18 FY19 FY20
Average – Retail Subscriber Accounts

The mix of retail accounts shifted particularly in FY20 towards higher quality retailers and multistores resulted in a reduction
in the overall number of subscribers. This headline reduction in subscriber account numbers is partly offset by an increase
in multistore and brandstores globally where the affiliate retail accounts linked to the parent do not pay direct subscriptions
(which are included in the parent multistore/brandstore umbrella subscription fees) and therefore these retail accounts are
not included in the retail subscriber account numbers (but do contribute e‑commerce enabled inventory to the websites).

78
Average Annual Revenue per Subscriber Account
Average Annual subscription revenue per account is calculated by taking total subscription revenue and dividing this by the
average annual number of subscription accounts.
The quantum of monthly fee paid by a retailer is influenced by several factors, the most important of which is whether the
retail store is choosing to enable e-commerce transactions (versus enquiry only listings) creating subscription and commission
fees on transactions. Subscribers may also bundle additional services such as communications support and activity on site
and to the BikeExchange consumer database.
Average annual revenue per subscription account has grown across the BikeExchange Group over the period to an average
of $2,955 in FY20. The increase is driven by the increase in multistore subscription revenues, offset by a reduction due to
some active subscription stores and brands enabling e‑commerce orders on their inventory and therefore combining a
lower cost monthly subscription plan with the introduction of e‑commerce fees. The subscription rate for such customers
combining subscriptions with e‑commerce to encourage greater numbers of higher quality stores and products, as well
as generating a separate e‑commerce revenue stream.
Figure 5.18 below illustrates the average annual revenue per subscription account over the historical period.

5.8.3.2. E-commerce revenue
During the period e-commerce TTV and net revenue was the fastest growing category with E-commerce net revenue
having increased from $0.2 million in FY18 to $0.5 million in FY20 representing a CAGR of 44.5% over the period. Total
e-commerce TTV has increased by $5.9 million between FY18 and FY20.
E-commerce revenue is the commission generated from a retailer when a consumer visits the BikeExchange websites and
orders goods through the platform (either for shipment, or collection at a retailer). At the point of purchase BikeExchange
receives the full payment from the consumer. The retailer then receives funds immediately from BikeExchange upon the
fulfilment of the order, less the commission fee retained by BikeExchange for enablement of the order. The three main
drivers of this revenue are:
• the number of e-commerce transactions;
• the commission rate applied to the transactions; and
• the average order value of those transactions.

Number of e-commerce transactions


E-commerce revenue has been primarily driven by growth in the number of transactions over the historical period and is
illustrated in Figure 5.19 below.

Total e‑commerce transactions

Total e-commerce Transactions has increased from 14,572 in FY18 to 20,954 in FY20, representing a CAGR of 19.9% over the
period. Growth in transactions over the period was primarily driven by increases in traffic sessions being up 6% from FY18
to FY19 and 36% from FY19 to FY20 to a total of 21.8 million traffic sessions for the FY20 year. In particular, the 4th quarter of
FY20 was responsible for the majority of the growth in traffic with traffic up 144% on Q4 FY19 to 9.8 million traffic sessions.
Traffic growth in Q4 FY20 was primarily organic, paid search marketing was immaterial over this period.
In addition, conversion rate of traffic to orders has increased throughout the period reflecting improved quality of products
on the site, improvements to the consumer experience and journey and particularly in Q4 FY20 an increased willingness of
retailers to make goods available for online transactions and consumer demand for goods during COVID‑19 lockdowns and
restriction periods. This has continued as the calendar year has progressed and restrictions have been lifted.

5.8.3.3. Average order value


Average order value (AOV) is an important metric that the BikeExchange uses to track the nature of the purchasing activity
on site and determine appropriate levels of commission rates to apply to retailers and each category of products that
retailers advertise.
AOV is calculated by dividing the total value of e-commerce transactions by total transaction numbers over the period.

FY18 FY19 FY20
Average Order Value ($ AOV)

AOV increased from $223 in FY18 to $436 in FY20, the increase has been driven predominantly by a higher proportion of
total e-commerce orders being for bikes over parts, accessories and apparel in FY20 compared to the previous financial
years. This change was driven by improvements in the sales and customer success teams in encouraging more retailers and
brands/distributors to enable e‑commerce on their bike inventory, as well as the introduction of features such as click and
collect, deposit payments and concierge (which is where technology and employees assist consumers to purchase goods
through the website).

80
5.8.3.4. Media and other revenue
Media and other revenue represented 18.2% of total revenue in FY20. Media and other revenue decreased from $1.0 million
in FY18 to $0.7 million in FY20 representing a CAGR of ‑25.6% over the period.
Media and other revenue is generated from an automated programmatic platform trading the global inventory available
and direct media sales consisting of media inventory or content displayed on the platform on behalf of brand and retail
customers. Other revenue which includes private sale of second‑hand bikes and parts through classified listing, feature
upgrades for product listings and other ancillary services.
The programmatic display platform launched in September 2019 and is largely automated. The reduction in revenue over
the most recent period is mainly attributable to the business’s reduced resource allocation to supporting the direct media
sales component, which had historically contributed to this revenue stream.

5.8.3.5. Revenue by geographic segment


BikeExchange operates in three geographic regions, three via 100% owned Subsidiaries and the fourth via a 50% a joint
venture based in the following locations:
• ANZ – Operations are headquartered in Melbourne, Australia supporting BikeExchange’s Australian and New Zealand
websites. This business also includes any head office costs (including from BikeExchange’s holding companies being
BikeExchange Pte Ltd (domiciled in Singapore) and BikeExchange TopCo (domiciled in Australia).
• Europe – Operations are headquartered in Wurzburg, Germany with a sales office in Belgium. The German office
supports BikeExchange’s websites that offer services to customers in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.
• North America – Operations are headquartered in California, USA. This office supports BikeExchange’s websites that
offer services to customers in the USA and Canada.
• Colombia – BikeExchange holds a 50% investment in a joint venture entity BikeExchange Colombia which operates from
Medellin, Colombia, and principally services the Colombian market. This investment is accounted for on an equity basis
and so BikeExchange does not recognise revenue for this investment in BikeExchange’s financial statements, only
BikeExchange’s share of the net profits/losses after tax.
Figure 5.21 below represents the aggregated historical revenue by geographic region for the historical period.

During the year ended 30 June 2017 BikeExchange commenced investing in the cost base to support both geographic
expansion into new markets including scaling the North America and Europe businesses, entering the UK and Ireland
markets and diversifying into adjacent markets through the Cycling Tips and BikeFix Mobile businesses. This led to costs
growing across all categories through FY18 and into FY19. A strategic review in the second half of FY19 identified the
potential for scaling e-commerce across BikeExchange’s core markets which resulted in Management executing a
significant restructure of the business to refocus on the core revenue streams of subscriptions and e-commerce.
The primary outcomes of the strategic review were to dispose of the BikeExchange’s investments in Cycling Tips and
BikeFix Mobile, and the decision to exit the UK and Irish markets where trading ceased in FY20. These actions resulted in a
reduction in the cost base of the business through removing staff and overhead involved in non‑core operating areas and a
focus on the four key regional hubs (ANZ, Europe, North America and the joint venture in Colombia).
As a result of the restructure BikeExchange is more focussed on core markets, revenue streams and execution of
e-commerce strategy. Operating costs reduced significantly in FY20 from FY19 across all categories.
Details of the nature and quantum of the expenses are set out in the sections below.

5.8.4.1. Employee benefits expense


Employee benefits expense is the largest operating expense item and represented 54.0% of total operating expenses
in FY20.

Employee benefits expense Employee benefits expense % of revenue

Employee benefits expense comprises all employment related expenses such as payroll costs including bonus, on‑costs
(superannuation, payroll taxes and other benefits), annual leave and long‑service leave accruals. In certain geographic
markets other employee benefits are mandatory such as pension contributions, statutory annual leave payments
or healthcare plan provision.
The primary areas of headcount are in sales and customer success, site administration and maintenance, marketing
and social media, and general administration (including executive functions).
As set out in section 5.8.4 the restructuring that followed the strategic review in the second half of FY19 reduced overall
headcount within BikeExchange in FY20 with the primary headcount reductions in non‑customer facing roles in each
Geographic market and a reduction in the media production, sales and content team. This significantly reduced employee
expenses from FY19 to FY20. There were no long‑term incentive plans (cash or share based payments) in place during the
period. No employee benefits were capitalised on the balance sheet during the period.

5.8.4.2. General & administration expense


General and administration expenses is the second largest expense item and represented 40.1% of total operating expenses
in FY20.

utilities and other office costs. The pro forma listed company operating costs are also included with General and
Administration Costs.

BikeExchange Limited Prospectus 83

As set out in section 5.8.4 the restructuring in FY19 that resulted in a reduction in overall headcount within the BikeExchange
Group in FY20 also resulted in a reduction in general and administration costs, such as occupancy and travel. BikeExchange
also enacted a program to reduce all discretionary costs across the business and the relocation to the four geographic hubs
(including the equity accounted Joint Venture in Colombia) further reduced cost through consolidation of operations.

Advertising and Marketing expenses is the smallest contributor to total expenses. Advertising and Marketing expenses
across all marketing spend categories has declined to $359,000 in FY20 from $856,000 in FY19.
In FY19 Advertising and marketing was focussed on trade event activity, sponsorship of bike and trade events, media
content production to support own marketing and media advertising sales and some performance marketing activity.
In FY20 expenditure was curtailed due to overall management of costs and refocussing the business around the core
business areas and maximising the opportunity presented by BikeExchange’s strong organic traffic.

5.8.5.  Earnings Before Income Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) loss
BikeExchange’s EBITDA loss for each of the financial periods, along with the EBITDA margin (defined as EBITDA loss divided
by revenue) is set out in Figure 5.26.

5.9.  Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is a non‑cash expense that predominantly relates to use of leased assets under AASB16, as well as a small
number of BikeExchange owned assets (primarily fixtures and fittings and trade related equipment).
Amortisation is recorded against BikeExchange’s purchased software. Amortisation increased over the historical period as
BikeExchange accelerated the amortisation of the intangible assets reflecting a reduction in their useful economic life as
these capitalised assets are expected to be replaced with significantly improved software over the course of the years
ending 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2022.

Pro forma net finance costs primarily reflects the interest element in relation to the accounting for the property lease
in accordance with AASB 16. Other finance costs include fees and charges relating to short term loan and other
banking facilities.

period as the business built scale in the Colombian market. In particular, based on the unaudited management accounts,
growth was strong in Q4 FY20 with TTV of $0.8m and revenue of $0.3m in that period (BikeExchange’s 50% share
representing TTV of $0.4 million and revenue was $0.15m).

5.12.  Operating Cash flow


Operating cash flow improved across all periods and is greater than EBITDA in FY19 and FY20. Operating Cash Flow is
primarily impacted by working capital movements. Working capital has improved over the historical period principally
due to e-commerce transactions being paid in advance of any associated costs and fulfilment of delivery. Subscription fees
are generally paid toward the end of a calendar month.

5.13.  Contingent Liabilities


Notwithstanding that the BikeExchange group of companies have incurred operating losses in every jurisdiction in which
they operate, for the respective periods 30 June 2018, 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2020, as at the date of this prospectus,
certain required tax filings have not been lodged with the respective taxation authorities.
As a result of the incomplete tax filings, there may be a potential for the respective taxation authorities to levy penalties
and interest upon the BikeExchange group of companies for failing to lodge the tax filings within the prescribed period
(notwithstanding the fact that the group has incurred operating losses).
Should such penalties and interest be levied, the Directors intend to seek remission of the penalties and interest. The
potential liability, which is considered to be contingent and therefore has not been recognised by the Directors, is estimated
to be in the range of $0.2m to $0.3m in respect of the US business and is not considered material in respect of other
jurisdictions the Group operates in.
Aside from the items referred to above the Group has no other material contingent liabilities.

5.14.  Dividend policy


The Directors have no current intention to pay dividends on Shares, as it is their intention to reinvest all cash flow into the
business in order to maximise its growth. Accordingly, no dividends are expected to be paid in the near term following
the Listing.
The payment of dividends by the Company (if any) is at the discretion of the Directors and will be a function of a number
of factors (many of which are outside the control of the Directors), including the general business environment, the financial
results of the business, cash flows and financial condition of the Company, future funding requirements, considerations,
any contractual, legal or regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends by the Company and other factors the Board
deems relevant. The Directors do not provide any assurance in respect of the future level of dividends paid by the Company
(nor the level of franking of, or conduit foreign income attaching to, any future dividends paid by the Company).

SECTION 6
Risk
Factors
6  Risk Factors

6.1. Introduction
The Company is subject to risk factors that are both specific to its business activities and of a more general nature. Each of
the risks set out below could, in isolation or in combination, if they eventuate, have a material adverse impact on the Company’s
business, financial condition and results of operations. Investors should note that this Section 6 does not purport to list every
risk that may be associated with an investment in Shares now or in the future, and that the occurrence or consequences
of some of the risks described in this Section 6 are partially or completely outside the control of the Company, its Directors
and management.
The selection of risks has been based on an assessment of a combination of the probability of the risk occurring and impact
of the risk if it did occur. The assessment is based on the knowledge of the Directors as at the Prospectus Date, but there is
no guarantee or assurance that the importance of risks will not change or other risks will not emerge.
Before applying for Shares, you should satisfy yourself that you have a sufficient understanding of these matters and should
consider whether the Shares are a suitable investment for you, having regard to your own investment objectives, financial
circumstances and taxation position. If you do not understand any part of this Prospectus or are in any doubt as to whether
to invest in the Shares, it is recommended that you seek professional guidance from your stockbroker, solicitor, accountant,
tax adviser or other independent and qualified professional adviser before deciding whether to invest.

6.2.  Risks specific to an investment in the Company


6.2.1.  Contractual risk – Unexecuted Share Sale Agreement
Pursuant to the draft Share Sale Agreement, the Company proposes to acquire 100% of the issued capital of BikeExchange
TopCo subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions, including but not limited to, no material adverse change and conditional
approval by the ASX to list the Company on the Official List. There is a risk that the Share Sale Agreement conditions are not
fulfilled and, in turn, the Proposed Transaction will not complete.
If the Proposed Transaction does not complete, the Offers and the listing of the Company will not proceed.

6.2.2.  Growth and profitability dependent of active community


As BikeExchange operates a two‑sided marketplace, BikeExchange’s future growth and profitability is dependent on
that marketplace being vibrant and active. The Business relies on both consumers utilising the BikeExchange Platform to
purchase bicycles and related products and on retailers to subscribe to the BikeExchange Platform and deliver the relevant
products. There is a risk that if either retailers do not renew their respective subscriptions to use the platform, or consumers
do not purchase products from the platform, or both, the activity of the marketplace offered by the BikeExchange Platform
will decline. This may in turn affect the financial performance of BikeExchange.

6.2.3.  Customer growth


BikeExchange’s revenue and the success of its growth initiatives depend upon attracting and retaining customers (both
businesses and consumers) to the BikeExchange Platform and converting those customers into both new and repeat
customers. Various factors can affect website traffic and conversion. A decline in traffic coming to the BikeExchange
Platform or the rate of conversion could adversely impact BikeExchange’s ability to achieve its stated objectives and
could have a materially adverse impact on the Business, financial performance and/or operations of BikeExchange.

6.2.4.  Fraud perpetrated and fictitious transactions


BikeExchange may face risks with respect to fraudulent activities on the BikeExchange Platform and periodically receive
complaints from either buyers who may not have received the goods that they have purchased, or sellers who have not
received payment for the goods that a buyer has contracted to purchase.
Negative publicity and user sentiment generated as a result of actual or alleged fraudulent or deceptive conduct on the
BikeExchange Platform could severely diminish consumer confidence in and use of the BikeExchange Platform, reduce
BikeExchange’s ability to retain current or attract new sellers and customers, damage its reputation, diminish the value of
its brand names, and/or materially adversely impact BikeExchange’s performance, financial condition and/or operations.

88
6.2.5.  Platform Risks
The BikeExchange Platform incorporating its website, databases and systems are critically important to BikeExchange’s
ability to attract and retain customers, as well as maximise sales conversion from those customers. Any irrecoverable loss
would cause a financial cost to the Company as well as damage the reputation of the Business. Further, BikeExchange
is reliant on Amazon Web Services (AWS), through the Marketplacer Agreements, to host the BikeExchange Platform.
If there is any disruption to these hosting services, the platform may not be accessible to users. AWS may terminate
its hosting services on 30 days’ notice or no notice in certain circumstances as summarised at Section 10.5.3.

6.2.6.  Reliance on third party technology providers


BikeExchange licenses the platform from Marketplacer across all regions it operates in, being the BikeExchange Hubs
further described at Section 10.5.3. The Marketplacer Agreement has a 5‑year term and atomically renews for a further
period of 24 months, unless the BikeExchange Hub issues a termination notice at least three months’ prior to the initial expiry
date. The Marketplacer Agreement also allows for first rights on new markets of expansion for the BikeExchange brand and
BikeExchange Platform. All support for the BikeExchange Platform is provided by the Marketplacer team. Front end design
work is carried out by the BikeExchange team. New functionality and features are released regularly by Marketplacer.
BikeExchange has developed the BikeExchange App, which is both IOS and Android based. BikeExchange owns 100% of
the Intellectual Property (IP) relating to the BikeExchange App. Support and maintenance of the BikeExchange App is carried
out by external developers and internal team members are responsible for minor changes. It is proposed that the Business
will redevelop the BikeExchange App in the first quarter of 2021 calendar year.
The satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of the BikeExchange Platform and other information technology
systems are integral to BikeExchange’s operations. The BikeExchange Platform and other information technology systems
are all hosted on servers owned by third party providers. There is a risk that the BikeExchange Platform and other information
technology systems may experience downtime or interruption from system failures, service outages, corruption of information
technology networks or information systems as a result of computer viruses, bugs or cyberattacks, as well as natural disasters,
fire, power outages or other events outside of the control of the Company or its third party providers. Such events may result
in delays in transaction processing and website slowdown or unavailability, which if sustained or regular, could adversely
affect BikeExchange’s operations and financial performance, reputation and/or growth.
BikeExchange’s service offering may also become outdated or obsolete through the introduction of superior technology
and/or product offerings. BikeExchange may be required to invest substantial capital to update or improve its current
information technology systems to remain competitive in the market. This could have a material adverse impact on
BikeExchange’s financial performance and/or growth.

6.2.7.  Cybersecurity and data protection


Given the nature of the Business, BikeExchange collects and holds a large amount of personal information about its sellers
and customers. BikeExchange has systems in place to maintain the confidentiality and security of personal information and
confidential data that is collected. The measures taken include firewalls, cybersecurity and anti‑virus software programs,
network separation, penetration testing, vulnerability scanning and restricted access to confidential personal data. However,
BikeExchange’s systems, or those of its third‑party service providers, may fail, or be subject to disruption as a result of external
threats or system errors.
If any data security breaches occur or BikeExchange fails to protect confidential information (including through cyber‑attacks),
this could result in reputational damage, a loss of system integrity and/or breach of BikeExchange’s obligations under
applicable privacy laws. This may have a materially adverse effect on BikeExchange’s operations, financial performance
and/or growth.
In addition, laws relating to data and privacy are constantly evolving. If data privacy standards are adopted in Australia which
are more stringent than those which BikeExchange’s systems are currently designed to comply with, then this could lead to
BikeExchange incurring additional costs and/or BikeExchange’s financial performance declining.

BikeExchange Limited Prospectus 89
6  Risk Factors (continued)

6.2.8.  Intellectual property may be compromised or lost


BikeExchange owns the IP for the BikeExchange App which was developed 5 years ago.
The BikeExchange logo device and supporting line are owned and trademarked by BikeExchange.
Content and editorial articles are written on the site to support the consumer journey in buying a bike or product.
The BikeExchange connections panel allows integrations of POS systems around the world. This allows for easy integrations
with retailer and brand POS systems for live inventory and accurate product information displayed on BikeExchange.
The commercial value of BikeExchange’s IP is dependent in part on the operational procedures used to maintain its
confidentiality and legal protections provided by a combination of confidentiality obligations imposed on employees
and third parties and other IP rights.
There is a risk that BikeExchange’s IP may be compromised in a number of ways, including:
(a) BikeExchange’s employees may breach operational procedures, or employees or third parties may breach their
confidentiality obligations, infringe or misappropriate BikeExchange’s IP, which may compromise BikeExchange’s
competitive advantage;
(b) BikeExchange’s third‑party sellers may gain insights into BikeExchange’s IP, including BikeExchange’s proprietary
systems, and may use these finding to develop alternative technologies which will compete with BikeExchange; and
(c) third parties may develop non‑infringing competitive technology.
Any such breaches or competing technologies could erode BikeExchange’s competitive position, which could have
a materially adverse impact on BikeExchange’s operations, financial performance and/or growth.

6.2.9.  Breach of third‑party IP rights


There is a risk that third parties may claim that the technology used for the BikeExchange Platform or BikeExchange’s
service offerings infringes on their IP rights. BikeExchange may become the subject of a claim that results in litigation or
a dispute, which in turn, may result in high legal costs, adverse monetary judgments and/or damage to BikeExchange’s
reputation, all of which may have an adverse effect on the financial performance of BikeExchange.

6.2.10. Competition
BikeExchange considers that it has a competitive advantage in being the leading bicycle marketplace in the industry.
However, there is a risk that existing competitors or new entrants in the market (Australian based or international) may
increase the competitive landscape and in turn, erode BikeExchange’s revenue and market share.
Existing competitors and new entrants in the market may engage in strategic partnerships or acquisitions, develop superior
products and/or technology, increase marketing activity and/or offer competitive pricing. There is a risk that BikeExchange
may be unable to respond to such competitive pressures and this may materially and adversely impact BikeExchange’s
operational and financial performance.

6.2.11.  BikeExchange may not successfully execute one or all of its growth strategies
BikeExchange plans to achieve high rates of growth by executing its strategies, which includes expanding its subscription
model, building strategic partnerships, increasing advertising revenue and/or launching its data and insights subscription
offerings. However, there is no guarantee that all or any of such strategies will be successfully implemented nor deliver
the expected returns or profitability. There is also a risk that the growth strategies may be subject to unexpected delays
and/or additional implementation costs.
BikeExchange may also fail to adopt and execute growth strategies which reflect changes in the preferences of bicycle
retailers and customers. Failure to do so could result in retailers or customers choosing BikeExchange’s competitors who
better satisfy their requirements, and such choice may have an adverse impact on BikeExchange’s financial performance
and growth.

90
6.2.12. BikeExchange may not identify execute and realise benefits from acquisitions
or strategic partnerships
BikeExchange may pursue acquisitions or joint ventures and/or enter into strategic partnerships, in order to realise benefits
including inorganic growth, accelerated development or delivery of service offerings, increased customer base and/or
delivering new service offerings.
There is a risk that BikeExchange may not be successful in identifying attractive opportunities. Further, the identification,
evaluation and negotiation of these opportunities may require significant time and effort from key management and
employees and this may in turn, disrupt the Business. There is also a risk that BikeExchange’s competitors may have a
greater willingness and ability to pay for opportunities that BikeExchange is interested in.
There is also a risk that BikeExchange will not successfully integrate new businesses or assets into its existing operations in a
timely manner, or that new businesses or assets do not result in the benefits anticipated. BikeExchange cannot guarantee
that every acquisition, joint venture or partnership entered into will result in favourable outcomes.

6.2.13.  Key personnel


Given the competitive environment in which BikeExchange operates, there is an ongoing requirement to continuously
improve the BikeExchange Platform and service offerings to ensure that it remains innovative and relevant to the market
and is not superseded by the offerings of its competitors. BikeExchange’s ability to ensure that the BikeExchange Platform
and services are continually improving relies on the expertise of its skilled workforce, particularly its technology team.
The departure of key personnel, or a shortage of skilled employees with adequate expertise, could adversely affect
BikeExchange’s business and/or its future ability to pursue its growth strategies, as under‑resourcing can cause
development delays and reduce the speed at which BikeExchange is able to deliver new features or enhancements
to the market. Further, there is a risk that BikeExchange is unable to develop new products or initiatives to target identified
market opportunities, as a result of a constrained resource pool.
In addition, BikeExchange’s ability to retain key personnel, including the management team, is affected by BikeExchange’s
capacity to maintain competitive remuneration packages. The loss of personnel may also impose significant costs to
BikeExchange in the form of loss of investment in employee training, possible loss of proprietary knowledge to competitors
and recruitment and employee commencement costs, each of which may have an adverse impact on BikeExchange’s
operations, financial performance and/or growth.

6.2.14.  Reputational risk


Maintaining the strength of BikeExchange’s reputation is an important part of retaining and growing the retailer and
consumer base and maintaining BikeExchange’s relationships with partners that will assist in successfully implementing
BikeExchange’s strategy. There is a risk that events may occur that may adversely impact on BikeExchange’s reputation,
which may adversely impact BikeExchange’s retailer and consumer base as well as the willingness of third parties to work
with BikeExchange on additional product offerings. This may have a negative impact on BikeExchange’s future operations,
financial performance and/or growth.

6.2.15.  Forward looking statements


The forward looking statements, opinions and estimates provided in this Prospectus rely on various contingencies and
assumptions, some of which are described in Section 5. Various factors, both known and unknown, may impact upon the
performance of BikeExchange and cause its actual performance to vary significantly from expected results. There can be no
guarantee that BikeExchange will achieve its stated objectives or that any forward looking statement or forecast will eventuate.

6.2.16. COVID‑19
The ongoing COVID‑19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the Australian and global economy and the ability
of individuals, businesses, and governments to operate. Across Australia and the world, travel, trade, business, working
arrangements and consumption have been materially impacted by the pandemic. In addition, events relating to COVID‑19
have resulted in significant volatility across financial, commodity and other markets, including in the prices of securities
trading on the ASX and on other foreign securities exchanges.

BikeExchange Limited Prospectus 91
6  Risk Factors (continued)

Although BikeExchange has not been materially affected by the COVID‑19 pandemic, there is a risk that further lockdowns
or the implementation of further government restrictions in response to COVID‑19 could have an impact on marketplace
engagement. This could materially affect BikeExchange’s operations, financial performance and/or growth, or a
combination of these.

6.2.17. Challenges in expanding cross‑border operations


As BikeExchange plans to continue expanding its cross‑border operations into existing and new markets, there is a risk that
BikeExchange may face challenges (including legal or regulatory) in which it has limited or no experience in dealing with.
BikeExchange may be unable to anticipate competitive conditions or could face other difficulties in attracting a sufficient
number of retailers and consumers in those new markets. The expansion of BikeExchange’s cross‑border business will
also expose it to risks relating to managing cross‑border operations, including but not limited to, staffing, increased costs
to protect intellectual property, differing and potentially adverse tax consequences, increased and conflicting regulatory
compliance requirements, challenges caused due to distance, language and cultural differences, exchange rate risk and
political instability. Accordingly, any efforts BikeExchange makes to expand its cross‑border operations may not be successful,
and in turn, this may materially affect BikeExchange’s operations and financial performance.

6.2.18.  Foreign exchange rate fluctuation


As BikeExchange has operations in different jurisdiction, the revenues of entities in BikeExchange are collected in different
currencies. This exposes BikeExchange to fluctuations in exchange rates, which is beyond BikeExchange’s control.
This could adversely impact the profitability of BikeExchange’s foreign operations.

6.2.19.  Continued growth of E‑commerce


There is no guarantee that the growth in the retail e‑commerce market and the bicycle and bicycle accessories segments
will continue into the future. The emergence of COVID‑19 has brought about changes in consumer behaviour, including
an increased migration towards online shopping, however it is not yet known whether these changes will be long‑lasting.
The e‑commerce market may be impacted by a variety of factors outside BikeExchange’s control which could cause a
slowing or contraction in the market and as a consequence impact BikeExchange directly.

6.2.20.  Search engine risks


Many customers access BikeExchange through a search engine. BikeExchange’s website may be excluded from or ranked
lower in search engine results due to changes to a search engine’s algorithms or other ranking criteria that are outside of
BikeExchange’s control. If BikeExchange’s Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) activities are no longer effective for any reason,
the traffic coming to the BikeExchange’s website could significantly decrease which could have a material adverse impact
on BikeExchange’s business, financial performance and operations.

6.2.21.  Increased cost of and reliance on search engine marketing


The cost of search engine marketing generally increases as the importance of online advertising increases, as competition
to be ranked higher in paid listings increases the price of such listings. BikeExchange’s business, financial performance and
operations may be materially adversely affected by any increase in the cost of, or reliance on, search engine marketing.

6.2.22.  Potential of being banned, restricted or suspended from digital marketing channels
Potential of being banned, restricted or suspended from digital marketing channels BikeExchange relies on digital marketing
channels such as Google ads and Facebook ads (to name a few) to market the BikeExchange Platform on social networking
sites, search providers and other marketing channels. There is a risk, that based on the marketing channel providers terms
and conditions, BikeExchange may be suspended, restricted or banned from advertising on these marketing channels.
Any such ban, restriction or suspension could have an adverse impact on the reputation, brand and revenue of BikeExchange
which could materially adversely affect BikeExchange’s business, financial performance and operations.

6.2.23.  Marketplacer contractual risk


As BikeExchange relies on the Marketplacer Agreements (as described in section 10.5.3) and the services provided by
Marketplacer to operate the BikeExchange Platform, there is a risk that should these services not be available then
BikeExchange will have difficulty operating until such time as that technology and services were replaced.

92
6.3.  General risks
6.3.1.  Price of Shares
Once the Company becomes a publicly listed company on the ASX, it will be subject to general risks applicable to all
securities listed on a stock exchange. This may result in fluctuations in the Share price that are not explained by the
performance of the Company.
The price at which Shares are quoted on the ASX may increase or decrease due to a number of factors. These factors may
cause the Shares to trade at prices below the Offer Price. There is no assurance that the price of the Shares will increase
following quotation on the ASX, even if BikeExchange’s earnings increase.
Some of the factors which may affect the price of the Shares include:
• fluctuations in the domestic and international markets for listed stocks;
• general economic conditions, including interest rates, inflation rates, exchange rates, commodity and oil prices,
changes to government;
• changes in fiscal, monetary or regulatory policies, legislation or regulation;
• inclusion in or removal from market indices;
• the nature of the markets in which BikeExchange operates; and
• general operational and business risks.

6.3.2.  Trading and liquidity in Shares


Prior to the Offers, there has been no public market in the Shares. Once the Shares are quoted on the ASX, there can be
no guarantee that an active trading market for Shares will develop or that the price of Shares will increase. There may be
relatively few potential buyers or sellers of Shares on the ASX at any time. It is important to recognise that, on a disposal,
Shareholders may receive a market price for their Shares that is less than the price that they paid under the Offers.
Further, following Completion, it is assumed that the Existing Shareholders and the BikeExchange Shareholders will hold
up to 73.75% of the Shares, which may also impact liquidity.
Subject to the Company being admitted to the Official List, the Company anticipates that certain Shares on issue prior to the
Listing will be classified by ASX as restricted securities and will be required to be held in mandatory escrow for up to 24 months
from the Listing Date as described in 10.9.1. In addition, it is assumed that certain BikeExchange Shareholders and Bombora
Investment Management will enter into voluntary escrow arrangements in relation to their Shares as described in Section 10.9.2.
The absence of any sale of these mandatory or voluntary escrowed Shares during their respective mandatory or voluntary
escrow period may cause, or at least contribute to, limited liquidity in the market for Shares.
Following release from escrow, Shares that are subject to these escrowed Shares will be able to be freely traded on the
ASX. A significant sale of Shares by holders of these Shares, or the perception that such sales have occurred or might occur,
could adversely impact the price of Shares. The interests of these holders of restricted Shares may be different from the
interests of investors who acquire Shares in the Public Offer.

6.3.3.  BikeExchange may be subject to changes in tax law


The application of and changes in relevant tax laws (including income tax, goods and services taxes (or equivalent) and
stamp duties), or changes in the way tax laws are interpreted, may impact the Company’s and/or BikeExchange Group’s tax/
duty liabilities and financial performance or the tax/duty treatment of a Shareholder’s investment. An example of such a tax
change that could have an adverse impact on the financial performance of the BikeExchange Group is the manner in which
countries tax e-commerce or digital based sales.
An interpretation or application of tax laws or regulations by a relevant tax authority that is contrary to the Company’s or
the BikeExchange Group’s view of those laws may increase the amount of tax/duty paid or payable by the Company or the
BikeExchange Group. Both the level and basis of tax may change. Any changes to the current rate of company income tax
(in Australia or other countries relevant to BikeExchange Group’s business or operations) and/or any changes in tax rules
and tax arrangements (again in Australia or other countries relevant to the BikeExchange Group’s business or operations)
may have an adverse impact on the BikeExchange Group’s financial performance, may increase the amount of tax paid or
payable by the BikeExchange Group, may also impact Shareholder returns and could also have an adverse impact on the
level of dividend franking/conduit foreign income and Shareholder returns.

BikeExchange Limited Prospectus 93
6  Risk Factors (continued)

6.3.4.  Force majeure events


Events may occur within or outside Australia that could impact upon the global, Australian and other local economies,
the operations of BikeExchange and the price of the Shares. These events include but are not limited to acts of terrorism,
an outbreak of international hostilities, fires, floods, water contamination, earthquakes, labour strikes, civil wars, natural
disasters, outbreaks of disease or other man‑made or natural events or occurrences that can have an adverse effect on
the demand for BikeExchange’s services and its ability to conduct business. BikeExchange has only a limited ability to
insure against some of these risks.

6.3.5.  Accounting Standards


AAS are set by the AASB and are outside the control of BikeExchange and its Directors. The AASB may, from time to time,
introduce new or refined AAS, which may affect future measurement and recognition of key statement of profit or loss
and other comprehensive income, and statement of financial position items, including revenue and receivables and lease
obligations. There is also a risk that interpretation of existing AAS, including those relating to the measurement and
recognition of key statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, and statement of financial position items,
including revenue and receivables, may differ. Changes to the AAS issued by the AASB or changes to the commonly held
views on the application of those standards could materially adversely affect the reported financial performance and
position of BikeExchange.

6.3.6.  Shareholder dilution


In the future, BikeExchange may elect to issue Shares to raise further funding. While BikeExchange will be subject to
the constraints of the ASX Listing Rules regarding the percentage of its capital it is able to issue within a 12 month period
(other than where exceptions apply), Shareholders may be diluted as a result of such fundraisings.

6.3.7. Inability to pay dividends or make other distributions or potential for dividends paid not to be
franked or attach conduit foreign income
There is no guarantee that dividends will be paid on Shares in the future, as this is a matter to be determined by the Board in
its discretion and the Board’s decision will have regard to, amongst other things, the financial performance and position of
the Company, relative to its capital expenditure and other liabilities.
Moreover, to the extent that the Company pays any dividends, the Company may not have sufficient franking credits in the
future to frank dividends or sufficient conduit foreign income in the future to declare an unfranked dividend (or the unfranked
portion of a partially franked dividend) to be conduit foreign income.
Alternatively, the franking system and/or the conduit foreign income system may be subject to review or reform.
The extent to which a dividend can be franked will depend on the BikeExchange Group’s franking account balance (which is
expected to be nil at Completion) and its level of distributable profits. The BikeExchange Group’s franking account balance is
contingent on the BikeExchange Group making Australian taxable profits and will depend on the amount of Australian income
tax paid by the BikeExchange Group on those Australian taxable profits. The BikeExchange Group’s Australian taxable profits
may fluctuate, making the payment of franked dividends unpredictable.
As the BikeExchange Group continues to expand overseas outside of Australia, this may or is likely to reduce the Australian
income tax paid on the BikeExchange Group’s income and profits, which may reduce the Company’s ability to frank
dividends.
The value and availability of franking credits to a Shareholder will differ depending on the Shareholder’s particular tax
circumstances.
The extent to which an unfranked or partially franked dividend can be declared to be conduit foreign income will depend
on the BikeExchange Group’s conduit foreign income balance (which will be nil at Completion of the Offers) and its level of
distributable profits. The BikeExchange Group’s conduit foreign income balance will depend, among other things, on the
structure of the Group’s foreign operations and the level of non‑Australian income tax paid by the BikeExchange Group on
those operations.
The value and/or availability of franking credits and conduit foreign income to a Shareholder will differ depending on the
Shareholder’s particular tax circumstances. Shareholders should also be aware that the ability to use franking credits, either as
a tax offset or to claim a refund after the end of the income year will depend on the individual tax position of each Shareholder.
No assurances can be given by any person, including the Directors, about payment of any dividend and the level of franking
or conduit foreign income on any such dividend.

• Shares, including to be acquired under a limited recourse loan funded arrangement,
in each case subject to service‑based conditions and/or performance hurdles (collectively, the Awards).
The terms and conditions of the Employee Incentive Plan are set out in comprehensive rules. A summary of the key rules
of the Employee Incentive Plan is set out below:

Eligibility and grant


• the Employee Incentive Plan is open to Directors, and any other employees of the Group Company or any other natural
person providing services to the Group Company, as determined by the Board;
• the Board may determine the type and number of Awards to be issued under the Employee Incentive Plan to each
participant and other terms of issue of the Awards including vesting hurdles, exercise price, forfeiture conditions and any
fees to be paid;
• Options and performance rights granted under the Employee Incentive Plan will only vest and be exercisable if the
applicable vesting condition or performance hurdles or both (as applicable) have been satisfied, waived by the Board
or are deemed to have been satisfied under these rules;
• each vested Option and performance right enable the participant to be issued or to be transferred one Share upon
exercise (Resulting Share), subject to the Employee Incentive Plan Rules and the terms of any particular offer;
• participants holding Options or performance rights are not permitted to participate in new issues of securities by the
Company but adjustments may be made to the number of Shares over which the options or performance rights are
granted and/or the exercise price (if any) to take into account changes in the capital structure of the Company in
accordance with the Employee Incentive Plan Rules and the ASX Listing Rules;
• the Employee Incentive Plan allows for cashless exercise of options; and
• the Employee Incentive Plan limits the number of Awards that the Company may grant without Shareholder approval,
such that the sum of all Awards on issue (assuming all options and performance rights were exercised) do not at any
time exceed in aggregate 10% of the total issued capital of the Company as at the date of the proposed new Awards.

Cessation of employment
• In relation to vested Awards, if a participant ceases employment or office with any Group Company:
– all vested Options held by the participant will be retained by the participant and continue to remain exercisable until
the relevant expiry date for those options;
– all vested performance rights held by the participant which have not been exercised will continue in force and
remain exercisable;
– the participant will be entitled to continue to hold all vested Shares or loan funded Shares.
• In relation to unvested Awards, the Board may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, the manner in which any
unvested Awards held by the participant will be dealt with including, but not limited to:

104
– allowing some or all of those unvested Awards to continue to be held by the Participant, and be subject to existing
performance hurdles and vesting conditions;
– undertaking a buy‑back of some or all of the unvested Options, performance rights, Shares or loan funded Shares
(as the case may be); or
– requiring that any remaining unvested options, performance rights, Shares or loan funded Shares automatically lapse
or be automatically surrendered (as the case may be) by the participant in accordance with the Employee Incentive
Plan Rules.

Forfeiture and clawback


• The Board may determine any criteria, requirements or conditions which, if met (notwithstanding the satisfaction or
waiver of any performance hurdles and vesting conditions) will result in the lapsing of options or performance rights
or a participant surrendering Shares, loan funded Shares or Resulting Shares.
• In addition, where in the reasonable opinion of the Board, a participant has obtained an unfair benefit as a result of an act
which constitutes fraud, dishonest or gross misconduct, a breach of his or her duties to the Group, wilful disobedience or
any other conduct justifying termination of employment without notice, the Board may do one or more of the following:
– deem all Resulting Shares, Shares and loan funded Shares held by the participant be surrendered in accordance with
the Employee Incentive Plan Rules;
– deem all Options and performance rights held by the participant to be lapsed;
– clawback any or all of the participant’s Awards or Resulting Shares which have been sold by that participant, requiring
that participant to pay requiring the participant repay the net proceeds of the sale.

Change of Control
• A “change of control” will occur if a person becomes a legal or beneficial owner of 50% of the Company’s issued share
capital in the Company. In the event of a Change of Control Event, and unless the Board determine otherwise in its sole
and absolute discretion:
– Awards granted will vest where the vesting conditions and performance hurdles applicable to those Awards have
been satisfied, but that vesting will occur only on a pro rata basis based on the period which has elapsed from the
grant date to the date of the Change of Control Event when compared to the relevant overall vesting period and based
on actual performance;
– any Options and performance rights which the Board determines will not vest will automatically lapse; and
– any Shares and loan funded Shares which the Board determines will not vest will automatically be surrendered by the
Participant in accordance with the Employee Incentive Plan Rules.

Amendment of the rules


• As long as the rights of a participant are not materially reduced (other than if the an amendment is made primarily to
comply with present or future laws applicable to the Employee Incentive Plan), the Board may at any time, in its absolute
discretion, amend the Employee Incentive Plan Rules or the terms and conditions upon which Awards have been issued
under the Employee Incentive Plan. The Board must provide written notification to participants so affected.

the Priority Offer whose Applications are not accepted, or who are allocated a lesser number of Shares than the amount
applied for, will receive a refund of all or part of their Application Monies, as applicable. Interest will not be paid on any
monies refunded.
Applicants whose Applications are accepted in full will receive the whole number of Shares calculated by dividing the
Application Monies provided by the Offer Price. Where the Offer Price does not divide evenly into the Application Monies,
the number of Shares to be allocated will be rounded down and any excess refunded (without interest).
If the amount of your Application Monies that you pay via Bpay® is less than the amount specified on your online Application
Form, you may be taken to have applied for such lower Australian dollar amount of Shares as for which your cleared Application
Monies will pay (and to have specified that amount on your online Application Form) or your Application may be rejected.

8.10.1.  Invitations to bid
The Company and the Lead Manager have invited certain Institutional Investors in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore
and other eligible foreign jurisdictions to bid for Shares in the Institutional Offer.

8.10.2.  Allocation policy under the Institutional Offer


The allocation of Shares between the Institutional Offer was determined by the Company and the Lead Manager.

Investors and there was no assurance that any Institutional Investor would be allocated any Shares, or the number of Shares
for which it has bid.

The allocation policy was influenced by a number of factors including:
• the number of Shares bid for by particular bidders;
• the timeliness of the bid by particular bidders;
• the Company’s desire for an informed and active trading market following listing on ASX;
• the Company’s desire to establish a wide spread of institutional shareholders;
• the overall level of demand under the Broker Firm Offer, Priority Offer and the Institutional Offer;
• the size and type of funds under management of particular bidders;
• the likelihood that particular bidders will be long term Shareholders; and
• any other factors that the Company and the Lead Manager considered appropriate.

of the Shares on ASX under the code ‘BEX’.
The ASX takes no responsibility for this Prospectus or the investment to which it relates. The fact that ASX may admit

8.17.15.  Directors – appointment and removal


Under the Constitution, the minimum number of Directors is three (3) and the maximum is eight (8) or otherwise authorised
by general meeting of the Company’s members.
Directors are elected or re‑elected by resolution at a general meeting of Shareholders. The Directors may also appoint a

annual general meeting following the meeting at which the Director was last elected or re‑elected (whichever is later).

8.17.16.  Directors – voting


Questions arising at a meeting of Directors will be decided by a majority of votes of the Directors present at the meeting
and entitled to vote on the matter. In the case of an equality of votes on a resolution, the chair of the meeting has a casting

Dear Directors,

INVESTIGATING ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
AND FINANCIAL SERVICES GUIDE

Introduction

This report has been prepared at the request of the directors of RPro Holdings Limited (to be renamed “BikeExchange
Limited”) (ACN 625 305 240) (the Company) for inclusion in a Prospectus to be issued by the Company in respect of
the initial public offering of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (the Offer) and subsequent listing the Company
on the Australian Securities Exchange.

Deloitte Corporate Finance Pty Limited is wholly owned by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and holds the appropriate
Australian Financial Services licence under the Corporations Act 2001 for the issue of this report.

References to the Company and other terminology used in this report have the same meaning as defined in the
Glossary of the Prospectus.

Scope

Historical Financial Information

Deloitte Corporate Finance Pty Limited has been engaged by the Directors of the Company to review the following
financial information of the BikeExchange Group:

• the historical aggregated income statements for the financial years ended 30 June 2018, 30 June 2019, and
30 June 2020;
• the historical aggregated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020; and
• the historical aggregated cash flows for the financial years ended 30 June 2018, 30 June 2019, and 30 June
2020,

as set out in Figures 5.7, 5.12 and 5.11 respectively in Section 5 of the Prospectus (together the Historical Financial
Information).

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, being the
recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards and the BikeExchange Group’s
adopted accounting policies.

The Historical Financial Information has been extracted from the special purpose aggregated financial information of
the BikeExchange Group for the financial years ended 30 June 2018, 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2020.

The special purpose aggregated financial information of the BikeExchange Group was audited by Deloitte Touche
Tohmatsu in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards. Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu issued a modified audit

Deloitte refers to one or more of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (“DTTL”), its global network of member firms, and their related entities (collectively, the
“Deloitte organisation”). DTTL (also referred to as “Deloitte Global”) and each of its member firms and related entities are legally separate and independent

opinion in respect of the special purpose aggregated financial information for the years ended 30 June 2018, 30 June
2019 and 30 June 2020 to include an emphasis of matter paragraph in relation to the ‘Basis of Preparation and
Restriction on Distribution and Use’ which draws attention to the notes to the financial report that set out the basis of
accounting used including the principles of aggregation of the accounts.

The Historical Financial Information is presented in the Prospectus in an abbreviated form, insofar as it does not include
all of the presentation and disclosures required by Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional
reporting requirements applicable to general purpose financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001 (Cth).

Pro forma Historical Financial Information

Deloitte Corporate Finance Pty Limited has been engaged by the Directors of the Company to review the following
financial information of the BikeExchange Group:

• the pro forma historical aggregated income statements for the financial years ended 30 June 2018, 30 June
2019, and 30 June 2020;
• the pro forma historical aggregated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020; and
• the pro forma historical aggregated cash flows for the financial years ended 30 June 2018, 30 June 2019, and
30 June 2020,

as set out in Figures 5.3, 5.12 and 5.9 respectively in Section 5 of the Prospectus (together the Pro forma Historical
Financial Information).

The Pro forma Historical Financial Information has been derived from the Historical Financial Information Statements
after adjusting for the effects of pro forma adjustments set out in Figures 5.5, 5.12 and 5.10 respectively in Section 5
of the Prospectus (the Pro Forma Adjustments).

The stated basis of preparation used in the preparation of the Pro forma Historical Financial Information is the
recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards applied to the Historical
Financial Information and the events or transactions to which the Pro Forma Adjustments relate, as if those events or
transactions had occurred as at the date of the Historical Financial Information. Due to its nature, the Pro forma
Historical Financial Information does not represent the Company’s actual or prospective financial performance,
financial position and/or cash flows.

Directors’ Responsibility

The Directors are responsible for:

• the preparation and presentation of the Historical Financial Information and the Pro forma Historical Financial
Information, including the selection and determination of Pro Forma Adjustments made to the Historical
Financial Information and included in the Pro forma Historical Financial Information; and
• the information contained within the Prospectus.

This responsibility includes for the operation of such internal controls as the Directors determine are necessary to
enable the preparation of the Historical Financial Information and the Pro forma Historical Financial Information that
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Our Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on the Historical Financial Information and the Pro forma
Historical Information based on the procedures performed and the evidence we have obtained. We have conducted

BikeExchange Limited Prospectus 131


9  Investigating Accountant’s Report (continued)

our engagement in accordance with Australian Standard on Assurance Engagement (ASAE) 3450 Assurance
Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings and/or Prospective Financial Information.

A review consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and
applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain reasonable assurance
that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in a reasonable assurance engagement.
Accordingly we will not express an audit opinion.

Our engagement did not involve updating or re-issuing any previously issued audit or review report on any financial
information used as a source of the financial information.

We have performed the following procedures as we, in our professional judgement, considered reasonable in the
circumstances:

Historical Financial Information

• consideration of work papers, accounting records and other documents of the BikeExchange Group , including
those dealing with the extraction and compilation of Historical Financial Information from the audited
aggregated financial information of the BikeExchange Group for the financial years ended 30 June 2018, 30
June 2019 and 30 June 2020;
• analytical procedures on the Historical Financial Information;
• a consistency check of the application of the stated basis of preparation, as described in the Prospectus, to
the Historical Financial Information;
• a review of the work papers, accounting records and other documents of the BikeExchange Group and its
auditors;
• a review of the application of Australian Accounting Standards; and
• enquiry of the Directors, management and other relevant persons in relation to the Historical Financial
Information.

Pro forma Historical Financial Information

• consideration of the appropriateness of the Pro Forma Adjustments described in Figures 5.5, 5.12 and 5.10 in
Section 5 of the Prospectus;
• enquiry of the Directors, management, personnel and advisors of the BikeExchange Group;
• the performance of analytical procedures applied to the Pro forma Historical Financial Information;
• a review of work papers, accounting records and other documents of the BikeExchange Group and its
auditors; and
• a review of the accounting policies adopted and used by the BikeExchange Group over the relevant periods
for consistency of application.

Conclusions

Historical Financial Information

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the
Historical Financial Information is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of
preparation, as described in section 5.2.3 of the Prospectus.

132
Pro forma Historical Financial Information

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Pro
forma Historical Financial Information is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the stated
basis of preparation as described in Section 5.2.3 of the Prospectus.

Restrictions on Use

Without modifying our conclusions, we draw attention to Section 5.1 and the ‘Important Notices’ pages of the
Prospectus, which describes the purpose of the Financial Information, being for inclusion in the Prospectus. As a
result, the Investigating Accountant’s Report may not be suitable for use for another purpose.

Consent

Deloitte Corporate Finance Pty Limited has consented to the inclusion of this limited assurance report in the Prospectus
in the form and context in which it is included.

Disclosure of Interest

Deloitte Corporate Finance Pty Limited does not have any interest in the outcome of this Offer other than the
preparation of this report and participation in the due diligence procedures for which normal professional fees will be
received.

Subject to the Company being admitted to the Official List, the Company anticipates that certain Shares and Options on
issue prior to the Listing will be classified by ASX as restricted securities and will be required to be held in escrow for up
to 24 months from the Listing Date.
The Company has made submissions to the ASX in regards to mandatory escrow arrangements. As at the date of this
Prospectus, the Company has not received any response to these submissions.
The Company will announce to the ASX full details (quantity and duration) of the Shares and Options required to be held
in escrow prior to the Shares commencing trading on the ASX.

10.9.2.  Voluntary Escrow Arrangements


It is anticipated that Shares held by certain BikeExchange Shareholders and Bombora Investment Management (each an
Escrow Shareholder) on Completion will be subject to voluntary escrow arrangements.
Subject to ASX’s confirmation on mandatory escrow arrangements as mentioned in Section 10.9.1, it is assumed that each
Escrow Shareholder will enter into an escrow deed in respect of their Escrowed Shares, which will prevent them from
disposing of their respective Escrowed Shares for the applicable Escrow Period set out in the table below.
The following table assumes that no ASX mandatory escrow restrictions will be imposed on the Shares held by the Escrowed
Shareholders. In the event that the ASX imposes mandatory escrow restrictions on the Shares held by Escrowed Shareholders,
the number of Escrowed Shares will reduce by the number of Shares subject to mandatory escrow restrictions.

BikeExchange Limited Prospectus 145


10  Additional Information (continued)

The above table assumes certain outcomes under the Offer Letter process. The actual Escrowed Shareholders and
the number of Escrowed Shares of each Escrowed Shareholder are subject to completion of the Offer Letter process.
The Company will announce to the ASX the final escrow positions prior to the Shares commencing trading on the ASX.
The restriction on ‘disposing’ is broadly defined and includes, among other things, selling, assigning, transferring or otherwise
disposing of any legal, beneficial or economic interest in the Escrowed Shares, encumbering or granting a security interest
over the Shares (except to the extent permitted by the deed as outlined in this Section 1), doing, or omitting to do, any act if
the act or omission would have the effect of transferring effective ownership or control of any of the Shares or agreeing to
do any those things.
The Escrowed Shareholders may be released early from these escrow obligations to enable:
• the Escrowed Shareholders to accept an offer under a takeover bid in relation to its Escrowed Shares if holders of at least
half of the Shares the subject of the bid that are not held by the Escrowed Shareholders have accepted the takeover bid;
• the Escrowed Shares held by the Escrowed Shareholders to be transferred or cancelled as part of a merger by scheme
of arrangement under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act;
• Escrowed Shareholders to participate in an equal access buy-back or equal return of capital or other similar pro rata
re-organisation;
• a transfer of any Escrowed Shares with the prior written consent of the Company;
• During the Escrow Period, the Escrowed Shareholders whose Shares are subject to escrow may also:
– dispose of their Shares to immediate family members and certain other related entities; and
– deal in any of their Shares to the extent the dealing is required by applicable law (including an order of a court of
competent jurisdiction).

10.10.  Costs of offers


The total cost of the Offers and Listing is approximately $3,300,000 (including GST). This includes advisory, legal, audit,
investing accountant and taxation adviser fees, listing and administrative fees, independent expert fees, the Underwriter’s
management and underwriting fees, Prospectus design and printing, advertising, marketing, Share Registry and other
expenses. These costs have been, or will be, borne by the Company from the proceeds of the Offers.

10.11.  Litigation and claims


BikeExchange may, from time to time, be party to litigation and other claims and disputes incidental to the conduct of its
business, including employment disputes, contractual disputes, indemnity claims and occupational and personal claims.
Such litigation, claims and disputes, including the costs of settling claims and operational impacts, could materially
adversely affect BikeExchange’s business, operating and financial performance.
As far as the Directors are aware, however, there is no current or threatened civil litigation, arbitration proceeding or
administrative appeal, or criminal or Governmental prosecution of a material nature in which a Group Company is directly
or indirectly concerned which is likely to have a material adverse impact on the business or financial position of the Group.

10.12.  Ownership restrictions


The sale and purchase of Shares in Australia are regulated by a number of laws that restrict the level of ownership or control
by any one person (either alone or in combination with others). This Section 10.13 contains a general description of these laws.

10.12.1.  Corporations Act


The takeover provisions in Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act restrict acquisitions of shares in listed companies, and unlisted
companies with more than 50 members, if the acquirer’s (or another party’s) voting power would increase to above 20%,
or would increase from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90%, unless certain exceptions apply. The Corporations
Act also imposes notification requirements on persons having voting power of 5% or more in BikeExchange either themselves
or through an associate.

146
10.12.2.  F
 oreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Cth) and Federal Government Foreign
Investment Policy
Generally, the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Cth) (FATA) applies to acquisition of shares and voting power
in a company of 20% or more by a single foreign person and its associates (Substantial Interest), or 40% or more by two
or more unassociated foreign persons and their associates (Aggregate Substantial Interest), where the acquisition meets
a threshold value (which varies by investor type and industry). Where a foreign person holds a Substantial Interest in a
company or foreign persons hold an Aggregate Substantial Interest in a company will be a “foreign person” for the purposes
of FATA.
In addition, FATA applies to acquisitions of a direct interest in an Australian company by foreign governments and their
related entities irrespective of the acquisition value. A “direct interest” is an interest of 10% in the entity but may also include
an interest of less than 10% where the investor has entered into business arrangements with the entity or the investor in
a position to influence or participate in the management and control or policy of the entity. There are exemptions which
can apply to certain acquisitions.
Where FATA applies to the acquisition, the acquisition may not occur unless notice of it has been given to the Federal
Treasurer and the Federal Treasurer has either notified that there is no objection to the Proposed Transaction (with or without
conditions) or a statutory period has expired without the Federal Treasurer objecting.
An acquisition to which the FATA applies may be the subject of a divestment order by the Federal Treasurer unless the
process of notification, and either a non‑objection notification or expiry of a statutory period without objection, has occurred.
Criminal offences and civil penalties can apply to failing to give notification of certain acquisitions, undertaking certain
acquisitions without no objection notification or contravening a condition in a no objection notification.

10.13.  Regulatory relief


10.13.1.  ASIC exemptions and relief
As at the date of the Prospectus, the Company has not applied to ASIC to seek any exemption or form of relief.

10.13.2.  ASX waivers and confirmation


The Company has lodged an application to seek a waiver from the ASX in regards to aspects of the mandatory escrow
provisions. As at the date of the Prospectus, the Company has not received a response to the waiver application.

10.14.  Australian Taxation considerations


This Section provides a general overview of the Australian tax and stamp duty consequences for investors who acquire
Shares through the Public Offer under this Prospectus. The comments in this Section are based on the Australian taxation
laws (including established interpretations of those laws) as at the date of this Prospectus, which may change.
This Section is general in nature and is not intended to be an authoritative or a complete statement of the Australian taxation
laws. It should be noted that the Australian taxation laws are complex and the investor’s own circumstances will affect the
taxation outcomes of making an investment in Shares through the Public Offer. It is therefore recommended that investors
seek independent professional advice, having regard to their own specific circumstances, in considering an investment in
Shares through the Public Offer.
The categories of investors considered in this summary are limited to individuals, complying superannuation entities and
certain companies, trusts or partnerships, each of whom holds their shares on capital account. This Section is also limited
to Australian income tax, GST and stamp duty. This summary does not cover any non‑Australian taxes or duties.
This summary does not consider the consequences for investors who are insurance companies, banks, investors that hold
their shares on revenue account or carry on a business of trading in shares, investors who acquired (or acquire) shares or
options in connection with an employee share/incentive plan/scheme (including, without limitation, under the EIP Offer
and/or the Employee Incentive Plan), or investors who are exempt from Australian tax.
This summary also does not cover the consequences for investors who are subject to Division 230 of the Income Tax
Assessment Act 1997 (the Taxation of Financial Arrangements or TOFA regime). Both resident and non‑resident investors
should seek professional advice to determine if Shares are held in this capacity (and the corresponding income tax
implications should this apply).
This summary also does not cover the consequences for:

BikeExchange Limited Prospectus 147


10  Additional Information (continued)

• Shareholders who acquire Shares under the Consideration Offer (i.e. BikeExchange Shareholders who acquire Shares
under the Proposed Transaction); and
• Option holders who acquire Options under the EIP Offer and/or the Employee Incentive Plan (or any other employee
incentive plan/scheme).
Such Shareholders or Option holders are advised to seek independent professional taxation advice regarding the acquisition
of their Shares or Options, having regard to their own specific circumstances.
Deloitte Tax, a registered tax agent, has provided the tax comments below. Deloitte Tax is not licensed under Chapter 7 of
the Corporations Act to provide financial product advice. Taxation issues, such as those covered by this Section, are only
some of the matters you need to consider when making a decision about a financial product. You should consider taking
advice from someone who holds an AFSL before making such a decision.

10.14.1.  Dividends on a Share – Australian tax residents


Dividends may be paid to Shareholders in respect of their Shares. “Franking credits” may be attached to such dividends.
Franking credits broadly represent the extent to which a dividend is paid out of profits that have been subject to Australian
income tax. It is possible for a dividend to be fully franked, partly franked or unfranked.
Australian tax resident Shareholders will be required to include dividends in their assessable income in the income year in
which the dividends are paid. To the extent that the dividends are franked, subject to the comments below, the associated
franking credits should also be included in the Australian tax resident Shareholder’s assessable income (i.e. the dividends
are required to be “grossed‑up”). In such circumstances, Shareholders are subject to tax at their applicable rate of tax on the
grossed‑up dividends received (but may be entitled to a tax offset for the associated franking credits as discussed below).
To the extent that the dividends are unfranked, there is no gross‑up (or tax offset) and Australian tax resident Shareholders
are subject to tax at their applicable rate of tax on the unfranked dividends received.
The distribution statement for the dividends paid should advise of the franking status of the dividends.

10.14.1.1. Australian resident individuals and complying superannuation entities


To the extent that the franking credits received by Shareholders that are Australian tax resident individuals or complying
superannuation entities exceeds the amount of total income tax payable, those Shareholders should be entitled to a refund
from the ATO of any excess franking credits over and above total income tax payable in an income year. Where the franking
credits are less than the tax payable on the dividends, those Shareholders will need to pay an additional amount of tax.

10.14.1.2. Trusts and partnerships


In relation to Shareholders that are trusts (other than trustees of complying superannuation entities or trusts treated as
companies for tax purposes) or partnerships, such Shareholders should include any franking credits in determining the net
income of the trust or partnership. The relevant beneficiary or partner may then be entitled to a corresponding tax offset,
subject to certain requirements being satisfied.
In relation to trusts or partnerships, including limited partnerships, the rules surrounding the taxation of dividends are
complex and advice should be sought to confirm the appropriate taxation considerations and treatment.

10.14.1.3. Corporate Shareholders
Shareholders that are Australian tax resident companies (including those which are deemed to be companies) are also
entitled to a tax offset equal to the amount of franking credits received, however unlike non‑corporate Shareholders,
they are unable to claim refunds for excess franking credits. Where excess franking credits exist, a corporate Shareholder
should be entitled to have the surplus credits converted into carry forward tax losses.
Corporate Shareholders (including those which are deemed to be companies) should also be entitled to a franking credit
in their franking accounts equal to the franking credits received in respect of the dividends. A corporate Shareholder may
be able to then use the credits to make franked distributions to its Shareholders.

10.14.1.4. Qualified person rules


There are certain limitations imposed by the Australian taxation law which may prevent a Shareholder from obtaining the
benefit of any franking credits. In this regard, Shareholders seeking to claim tax offsets for franking credits must be “qualified
persons” in respect of the relevant dividends.

148
In broad terms, Shareholders who have held their Shares “at risk” for at least 45 days (excluding the dates of acquisition and
disposal) should be qualified persons and should be able to claim a tax offset for the amount of franking credits received.
Special rules apply to arrangements which involve the making of related payments to pass on the benefit of any dividends
paid, or in the context of franked dividends received via trusts or partnerships. Under the related payment rule, a different
testing period applies where an investor or an associate of the investor has made, or is under an obligation to make, a related
payment in relation to a dividend. A related payment is one where an investor or their associate effectively passes on the
benefit of the dividend to another person.
Individual Australian Shareholders whose total franking tax offsets (for all franked distributions received in the income year)
do not exceed $5,000 for the income year should generally be deemed to be qualified persons (provided also that no
related payments are made with respect to the dividend).
Investors should seek professional advice to determine if these requirements, as they apply to them, have been satisfied.

10.14.1.5. Integrity rules
A specific integrity rule prevents taxpayers from obtaining a tax benefit from franking credits where dividends are received
as a result of “dividend washing”. Dividend washing is a practice through which taxpayers seek to claim two sets of franking
credits by selling shares held on the ASX ex‑dividend and then effectively re‑purchasing a substantial equivalent parcel of
shares cum‑dividend on a special ASX trading market.
Shareholders should consider the impact of these provisions (and other dividend tax integrity provisions) having regard to
their own personal circumstances.

10.14.2.  Dividends on a Share – non‑Australian tax residents


Generally, unfranked dividends paid to Shareholders that are non‑Australian tax residents should be subject to dividend
withholding tax. To the extent that distributions to non‑residents include unfranked dividends (which are not declared to
be conduit foreign income – see below), there is a requirement for the payer to withhold tax at the rate applicable to each
non‑Australian tax resident Shareholder. Australian dividend withholding tax is levied at a flat rate of 30% on the gross
amount of the dividends unless a Shareholder is a tax resident of a country that has an applicable double tax treaty with
Australia. In these circumstances, the withholding tax may be reduced (usually to 15%), although in certain cases, depending
on the Shareholder’s country of residence and the size of their shareholding, the rate may be reduced further.
Fully franked dividends are not subject to Australian dividend withholding tax. No other Australian tax is applicable.
It is recommended that non‑Australian tax resident Shareholders consider the tax implications of receiving dividends in respect
of shares paid in Australia under their local tax regimes, including if a credit is available for any dividend withholding tax.

10.14.2.1. Conduit foreign income


To the extent that unfranked dividends are declared in the distribution statement for the dividends to be conduit foreign
income, the unfranked dividends paid to non‑Australian tax resident Shareholders should not be subject to Australian
dividend withholding tax. Conduit foreign income is broadly foreign income paid to the Australian company where that
foreign income is exempt from Australian income tax, such as certain branch profits, dividends and interest from subsidiaries.
Unfranked dividends declared to be conduit foreign income should be subject to tax in the same manner as other unfranked
dividends for Australian tax resident Shareholders.
It is noted that, based on present activities, future unfranked dividends paid by the Company may be declared to be conduit
foreign income (particularly as a result of continued business expansion into foreign jurisdictions in the future).

10.14.3.  Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP)


The comments in this Section do not consider the taxation implications of Shareholders participating in a DRP. If a DRP is
activated at a future time, Shareholders are advised to seek advice prior to participating in the DRP.

10.14.4.  Taxation of Share disposals – Australian tax resident


Australian tax resident Shareholders who hold their Shares on capital account will be required to consider the impact of the
CGT provisions in respect of the disposal of their Shares.
Where the capital proceeds received on the disposal of the Shares exceed the CGT cost base of those Shares, Australian
tax resident Shareholders will derive a capital gain. The CGT cost base of the Shares should generally be equal to the issue

BikeExchange Limited Prospectus 149


10  Additional Information (continued)

price or acquisition price of the Shares plus, amongst other things, incidental costs associated with the acquisition and
disposal of the Shares. In respect of the CGT cost base of the Shares, this amount may be reduced as a result of receiving
non‑assessable distributions from the Company, such as returns of capital.
Conversely, Australian tax resident Shareholders may recognise a capital loss on the disposal of Shares where the capital
proceeds received on disposal are less than the reduced CGT cost base of the Shares.
All capital gains and losses recognised by an Australian tax resident Shareholder for an income year are aggregated.
To the extent that a net gain exists, such Shareholders should be able to reduce the net gain by any amount of unapplied net
capital losses or revenue losses carried forward from previous income years (provided the relevant loss recoupment tests
are satisfied) or current year revenue or capital losses. Any remaining net gain (after the application of any carried forward
tax losses or current year revenue losses) will then be required to be included in the Australian tax resident Shareholder’s
assessable income (subject to comments below in relation to the availability of the CGT discount concession) and taxable
at the Shareholder’s applicable rate of tax. Where a net capital loss is recognised, the loss should only be deductible against
capital gains and are capable of being carried forward indefinitely, provided the relevant loss recoupment tests are satisfied.
Non‑corporate Shareholders may be entitled to a concession which discounts the amount of capital gain that is assessed.
Broadly, the concession is available where the Shares have been held for 12 months or more prior to disposal. The concession
results in a 50% reduction in the assessable amount of a capital gain for an individual Shareholder and a one‑third reduction
of a capital gain for an Australian tax resident complying superannuation entity Shareholder (including generally where a
flow through trust or partnership distributes to such shareholders), after offsetting any current or carried forward losses.
The concession is not available to corporate Shareholders (including those deemed to be companies).
In relation to trusts or partnerships including limited partnerships, the rules surrounding capital gains and the CGT discount
are complex, but the benefit of the CGT discount may flow through to relevant beneficiaries or partners, subject to certain
requirements being satisfied.
Australian tax resident investors who hold Shares on revenue account should seek separate independent professional advice.

10.14.5.  Taxation of Share disposals – non‑Australian tax residents


Non‑Australian tax resident Shareholders who hold their Shares on capital account should not generally be subject to the
Australian CGT regime upon disposal of their Shares except in limited circumstances, for example where the Shares relate
to a business carried on by the foreign resident through a permanent establishment in Australia or where the Shares are
“indirect Australian real property interests”. The Shares should be indirect Australian real property interests to the extent that,
broadly, the following two requirements are satisfied:
• the Company is considered “land rich” for Australian income tax purposes (i.e. greater than 50% of the market value
of the Company’s underlying assets is principally derived from Australian real property or certain interests in relation
to Australian minerals); and
• the non‑resident Shareholder has an associate‑inclusive interest of at least 10% in the Company (either at the time
of disposal or throughout a 12 month period that began no earlier than 24 months before the disposal).
Relevant non‑resident Shareholders will need to determine if the above requirements are met at the time of disposal
of their Shares.
It is noted that it is unlikely that the Company is considered “land rich” for Australian income tax purposes as at the
Prospectus Date but this analysis is required to be undertaken at the time of disposal.
Non-Australian resident investors who hold Shares on revenue account should seek separate independent professional advice.

10.14.5.1. Non‑resident CGT withholding


Rules can apply to the disposal of certain taxable Australian property, whereby, a 12.5% non‑final withholding tax may be
applied. However, the rules should not apply to the disposal of a Share on the ASX (in accordance with a specific exemption).

150
10.14.6.  Tax File Number (TFN) and Australian Business Number (ABN)
An Australian tax resident Shareholder is not obliged to quote a TFN, or where relevant, ABN, to the Company. However,
if a TFN or ABN is not quoted and no exemption is applicable, income tax is required to be deducted by the Company
at the highest marginal rate (currently 45% plus Medicare levy of 2%) from certain dividends paid. Australian tax resident
Shareholders may be able to claim a tax credit/rebate (as applicable) in respect of any tax withheld on dividends in their
income tax returns.
No withholding requirement applies in respect of fully franked dividends paid in respect of the Shares or to unfranked
dividends paid to non‑Australian tax residents (as described above, the dividend withholding tax regime should instead
apply in this situation).

10.14.7.  Stamp duty


No stamp duty should be payable by a Shareholder on the acquisition or disposal of Shares. Further, under current stamp
duty legislation, stamp duty should not ordinarily be payable on any subsequent acquisition of Shares by a Shareholder
provided the Company remains listed on the ASX (and provided the acquisition is less than 90% of the Shares in the Company).

10.14.8.  Goods and services tax (GST)


GST is not applicable to the acquisition or disposal of Shares. The ability of Shareholders to recover any GST incurred as
an input tax credit in relation to costs associated with the Offers (such as costs relating to professional advice obtained by
Shareholders regarding the Offers) would vary according to individual circumstances and as such this should be reviewed
by Shareholders prior to making any claim.
No GST should be payable by Shareholders on receiving dividends (or other distributions) paid by the Company.

10.15.  Selling restrictions


This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of Shares in any jurisdiction in which it would be unlawful. In particular, this
document may not be distributed to any person, and the Shares may not be Offered or sold, in any country outside Australia

APPENDIX A:
Significant
Accounting
Policies
Appendix A:  Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies
have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

(a)  Principles of Aggregation


The BikeExchange listed group will be created through the formation of a new company that will become both the
ultimate parent of the BikeExchange Group, through acquisition of the ownership interest of all the entities presented in
this aggregation, and the Company. These financial statements aggregate all of the operating entities which will form part
of BikeExchange at Listing.
As explained above the financial statements are aggregated financial statements and are not consolidated financial
statements as required by AASB 10 ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’. As at 30 June 2020, there is no basis for the
preparation of consolidated financial statements as there is no common ownership of the entities which make up
BikeExchange. The aggregated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities of the BikeExchange
Group as at 30 June 2018, 2019 and 2020 and the results of these entities for the year then ended.
The term ‘BikeExchange Group’ refers to the aggregation of the entities set out in Section 5.2.3. The Income Statement and
Statement of Financial Position for all entities have been presented to a 30 June Financial year end.
In preparing the aggregated financial statements, the following transactions and balances have been eliminated:
• all intercompany balances between entities within the aggregated BikeExchange Group, including any unrealised profits
or losses.
• all intercompany dividends and distributions have been eliminated in the aggregated entity.
• all intercompany transactions between entities in the aggregated BikeExchange Group.
As a consequence of the financial report being prepared on an aggregated basis, no eliminations have occurred in relation
to equity balances for any entities not held within the aggregated BikeExchange Group, specifically: issued capital, retained
earnings and reserves.

(b)  Basis of Preparation


The Aggregated Historic Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the basis of accounting and disclosure
requirements specified by all Australian Accounting Standards applicable to Tier 1 entities, except the requirements of the
Australian Accounting Standard listed below:
• AASB 3 Business Combinations
• AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
• AASB 133 Earnings Per Share
AASB 3 and AASB 10 have been applied to the fullest extent possible to transactions occurring and in the presentation
of the aggregated financial statements, but cannot be fully complied with as there is no common controlling entity for the
BikeExchange Group at 30 June 2020. No Earnings Per Share measure has been disclosed as there is no single controlling
entity (and therefore number of shares) to apply to the aggregated BikeExchange Group at 30 June 2020.
The company is a for‑profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.
The financial statements, except for the cash flow information, 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. The amounts presented in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest dollar.
All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. The functional and presentation currency of the
BikeExchange Group is the Australian Dollar.

(c)  Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures


An associate is an entity over which the BikeExchange Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to
participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies.

BikeExchange Limited Prospectus 155


Appendix A:  Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights
to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which
exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
Under the equity method, the investment in an associate or a joint venture is initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount
of the investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the BikeExchange Group’s share of net assets of the associate or joint
venture since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to the associate or joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the
investment and is not tested for impairment separately.
The statement of profit or loss reflects the BikeExchange Group’s share of the results of operations of the associate or joint
venture. Any change in Other Comprehensive Income of those investees is presented as part of the BikeExchange Group’s
Other Comprehensive Income. In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate
or joint venture, the BikeExchange Group recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the statement of changes
in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the BikeExchange Group and the associate or
joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate or joint venture.
The aggregate of the BikeExchange Group’s share of profit or loss of an associate and a joint venture is shown on the face
of the statement of profit or loss outside operating profit and represents profit or loss after tax and noncontrolling interests
in the subsidiaries of the associate or joint venture.
The financial statements of the associate or joint venture are prepared for the same reporting period as the BikeExchange
Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the BikeExchange Group.
After application of the equity method, the BikeExchange Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an
impairment loss on its investment in its associate or joint venture. At each reporting date, the BikeExchange Group
determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the associate or joint venture is impaired. If there is
such evidence, the BikeExchange Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable
amount of the associate or joint venture and its carrying value, and then recognises the loss within ‘Share of profit of an
associate and a joint venture’ in the statement of profit or loss.
Upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control over the joint venture, the BikeExchange Group
measures and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the
associate or joint venture upon loss of significant influence or joint control and the fair value of the retained investment
and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss.

(d)  Revenue from Contracts with Customers


The BikeExchange Group is in the business of providing a dedicated e-commerce bicycle marketplace, connecting
bike enthusiasts to retailers and suppliers. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when the associated
performance obligations from contracts with customers is satisfied. This may occur at a point in time or progressively over
time. Revenue is measured at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the BikeExchange Group expects to be
entitled in exchange for the satisfactory completion of its performance obligations.

E-commerce revenue
The BikeExchange Group has concluded that it is the agent for its e-commerce revenue arrangements because the supplier
controls the goods before transferring them directly to the end customer and not the BikeExchange Group. The BikeExchange
Group facilitates transactions between buyers and sellers but is not a party to that transaction. E-commerce revenue is the
net amount of commission and other fees that the BikeExchange Group is entitled to retain in return for its services as the
agent in facilitating the transaction. Revenue is recognised at a point in time being when the performance obligation for
service as an agent is satisfied, which is typically at the point the goods are dispatched by the supplier.

Subscriptions
Subscription fees are charged in relation to the provision of e-commerce retail stores for retailers in the BikeExchange
marketplace. Subscription fees are charged on a monthly basis. Subscription fee revenue is recognised over the period
that the website hosts the e-commerce store for the retailer.

156
Media and other revenue
Media and other revenue is recognised on the satisfactory completion of associated performance obligations, which are
typically based on either time periods (e.g. for sponsorship campaigns) or as impressions are displayed on the BikeExchange
Group’s network of websites.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of taxes.

(e)  Segmental Reporting


Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision
maker. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the CEO. Management has determined the reporting
segments based on the reports reviewed by the CEO that are used to make strategic decisions.

(f)  Income Tax


Current tax
Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable
profit or loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted
by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is
unpaid (or refundable).

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences arising from differences
between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of
those items.
In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to
the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available against which deductible temporary differences
or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the
temporary differences giving rise to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of
a business combination) which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability
is not recognised in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) when the
asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities reflects the tax consequences that
would follow from the manner in which the consolidated entity expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the
carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax and when the
balances relate to taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the BikeExchange Group intends to settle its tax assets
and liabilities on a net basis.

Current and deferred tax for the period


Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the statement of comprehensive income, except
when it relates to items credited or debited to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or
where it arises from initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is taken into account in the determination
of goodwill or excess.

(g)  Foreign Currencies


The BikeExchange Group’s financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars, which is also the BikeExchange Group’s
functional currency. For each entity, the BikeExchange Group determines the functional currency and items included in the
financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. The BikeExchange Group uses the direct
method of consolidation and on disposal of a foreign operation, the gain or loss that is reclassified to profit or loss reflects
the amount that arises from using this method.

BikeExchange Limited Prospectus 157


Appendix A:  Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Transactions and balances


Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the BikeExchange Group’s entities at their respective functional
currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of
exchange at the reporting date.
Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss with the exception of
monetary items that are designated as part of the hedge of the BikeExchange Group’s net investment in a foreign operation.
These are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income until the net investment is disposed of, at which time, the cumulative
amount is reclassified to profit or loss. Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those monetary
items are also recognised in Other Comprehensive Income.
Non‑monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange
rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non‑monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated
using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of
non‑monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair
value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in Other Comprehensive
Income or profit or loss are also recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or profit or loss, respectively).

(h)  Cash and Cash Equivalents


For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes cash on hand and in banks and investments in money
market instruments with original maturities of three months of less, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts
are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

(i)  Accounts Receivable and Other Debtors


Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business.
A receivable is recognised if an amount of consideration that is unconditional is due from the customer (i.e. only the passage
of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).

(j)  Property, Plant and Equipment


Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, accumulated depreciation and any
impairment losses.

Plant and equipment


Plant and equipment, leasehold improvements and equipment under finance lease are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item. In the event
that settlement of all or part of the purchase consideration is deferred, cost is determined by discounting the amounts
payable in the future to their present value as at the date of acquisition.
Depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment, leasehold improvements and equipment under finance lease.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis so as to write off the net cost of each asset over its expected useful life to
its estimated residual value. Leasehold improvements are depreciated at the rate equivalent to the term of the lease using
the straight line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method is reviewed at the end of each
annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation:
• Motor Vehicles 5 years
• Other Property, Plant and Equipment 3‑5 years
The gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference
between the sales proceeds and the carrying amounts of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

158
(k)  Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in
a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried
at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangibles, excluding
capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in
which the expenditure is incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there
is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an
intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected
useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to
modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The
amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the expense
category that is consistent with the function of the intangible assets. There are no indefinite lived intangible assets.
An intangible asset is derecognised upon disposal (i.e., at the date the recipient obtains control) or when no future economic
benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising upon derecognition of the asset (calculated as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit
or loss.

Software and licences


Significant costs associated with software are deferred and amortised on a straight‑line basis over the period of their
expected benefit, being their finite life of 5 years.

(l) Leases
The BikeExchange Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The BikeExchange Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short‑term
leases and leases of low‑value assets. The BikeExchange Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and
right‑of‑use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

Right of use assets


The BikeExchange Group recognises right‑of‑use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying
asset is available for use). Right‑of‑use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses,
and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right‑of‑use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities
recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease
incentives received. Right‑of‑use assets for both property leases and motor vehicles are depreciated on a straight‑line basis
over the lease term unless the estimated useful lives of the assets is shorter.
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the BikeExchange Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the
exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.
The right‑of‑use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in section (n) Impairment of
Non-Financial Assets.

Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the BikeExchange Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present
value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in
substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate,
and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of
a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the BikeExchange Group and payments of penalties for terminating
the lease, if the lease term reflects the BikeExchange Group exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments
that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in
the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

BikeExchange Limited Prospectus 159


Appendix A:  Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the BikeExchange Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease
commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement
date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments
made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term,
a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to
determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
The BikeExchange Group’s lease liabilities are included in Interest‑bearing loans and borrowings.
The BikeExchange Group applies the short‑term lease recognition exemption to its short‑term leases (i.e., those leases that
have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies
the lease of low‑value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value.
Lease payments on short‑term leases and leases of low value assets are recognised as expense on a straight‑line basis
over the lease term.

(m)  Financial Instruments


Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes
a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other
comprehensive income, and fair value through profit or loss.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow
characteristics and the BikeExchange Group’s business model for managing them. The BikeExchange Group’s financial
assets consist of cash and trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component. Trade receivables that
do not contain a significant financing component are measured at the transaction price
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost, or fair value through other comprehensive
income, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the principal amount
outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. Financial assets with cash
flows that are not SPPI are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model.
The BikeExchange Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in
order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual
cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both. Financial assets classified and measured at amortised cost are held within
a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows while financial assets
classified and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are held within a business model with the
objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling.

Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
• Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
• Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income with recycling of cumulative gains and losses
(debt instruments)
• Financial assets designated at fair value through other comprehensive income with no recycling of cumulative gains
and losses upon derecognition (equity instruments)
• Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

160
Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject
to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.
The BikeExchange Group’s financial assets at amortised cost includes trade receivables, and a term deposit.
The BikeExchange Group does not hold any financial assets classified as fair value through other comprehensive income, or
fair value through profit or loss.

Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a BikeExchange Group of similar financial assets)
is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the BikeExchange Group’s consolidated statement of financial position) when:
• The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
OR
• The BikeExchange Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to
pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass‑through’ arrangement; and either
(a) the BikeExchange Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the BikeExchange
Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred
control of the asset.
When the BikeExchange Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a
passthrough arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it
has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the
asset, the BikeExchange Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement. In
that case, the BikeExchange Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability
are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the BikeExchange Group has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original
carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the BikeExchange Group could be required
to repay.

Impairment
The BikeExchange Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair
value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with
the contract and all the cash flows that the BikeExchange Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the
original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit
enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk
since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next
12‑months (a 12‑month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since
initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective
of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
For trade receivables, the BikeExchange Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the
BikeExchange Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs
at each reporting date. The BikeExchange Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss
experience, adjusted for forward‑looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
The BikeExchange Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However,
in certain cases, the BikeExchange Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external
information indicates that the BikeExchange Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before
taking into account any credit enhancements held by the BikeExchange Group. A financial asset is written off when there is
no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.

BikeExchange Limited Prospectus 161


Appendix A:  Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans
and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables,
net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The BikeExchange Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings.

Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified in two categories:
• Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
• Financial liabilities at amortised cost (loans and borrowings)

Financial liabilities at amortised cost (loans and borrowings)


This is the category most relevant to the BikeExchange Group. After initial recognition, interest‑bearing loans and borrowings
are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in
profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the effective interest rate amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an
integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement
of profit or loss.
This category generally applies to interest‑bearing loans and borrowings.
The BikeExchange Group does not hold any financial liabilities classified as fair value through profit or loss.

Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an
existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an
existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original
liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the
statement of profit or loss.

Offsetting of financial instruments


Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial
position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle
on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

(n)  Impairment of Non‑Financial Assets


At the end of each reporting period, the BikeExchange Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible
assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the
recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared
to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised in
profit or loss.
Where the future economic benefits of the asset are not primarily dependent upon the asset’s ability to generate net cash
inflows and when the entity would, if deprived of the asset, replace its remaining future economic benefits, value in use is
determined as the depreciated replacement cost of an asset.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an asset’s class, the entity estimates the recoverable amount
of the cash‑generating unit to which the class of assets belong.
Where an impairment loss on a revalued asset is identified, this is recognised against the revaluation surplus in respect of
the same class of asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for
that class of asset.

162
(o)  Accounts Payable and Other Payables
Accounts payable and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and
services received by the company during the reporting period which remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current
liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.

(p)  Employee Benefits


Short‑term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non‑monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be
settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in current liabilities in respect of employees’ services up to
the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Other long‑term employee benefits


The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are
recognised in non‑current liabilities, provided there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability. The liability
is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees
up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary
levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market
yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as
possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

(q) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the economic entity has a legal, equitable or constructive obligation to make a future sacrifice
of economic benefits to other entities as a result of past transactions of other past events, it is probable that a future sacrifice
of economic benefits will be required and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

(r)  Goods and Services Tax


Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Sales Taxes, except
where the amount of GST or Sales Taxes incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the
GST or Sales Taxes are recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST and Sales Taxes included. The net amount of GST and Sales
Taxes recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance
sheet. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis.
The GST and Sales Taxes components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable
from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

(s)  Issued Capital


Ordinary 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
