Accounting Policies, Estimation Methods and Measurements

JCurve Solutions has adopted AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach from 1 July 2019, which resulted in changes in accounting policies and adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements in relation to how leases have been accounted for. The impact from the adoption of AASB 16 - Leases was that it positively impacted the normalised EBITDA by $255,479 and it negatively impacted the loss before income tax by $12,253. Prior year comparative numbers have not been updated with the Group electing to apply the modified retrospective method from 1 July 2019.
