However, at the time of publication (April 2020), we are in the thick of the COVID-19 era. Our hearts are aching. It’s a strange and unprecedented time.

Overnight our beloved music industry has been decimated. According to Music SA’s Live Music Census, which we have undertaken for the last 5 years, South Australians should be enjoying approximately 10,000 venue-based gigs over the first 6 months of 2020.

Due to COVID-19 it’s a very different picture. We set up the ilostmygig.net.au website on Saturday 14th March and since that time Australians have recorded a loss of $330 million in income.

However, musicians and venues are proving themselves to be inventive, resilient and creative and many are making the most of this time by live streaming, song writing, recording, making videos, registering with APRA AMCOS, getting the books in order, writing grants, offering take-away and taking up free online professional development.

We look forward to the recovery when people who have been forcible isolated are allowed to reunite. Hopefully they will be yearning for live music and will have an added appreciation for the community and connectedness that music gatherings provide.

In the meantime, here is what Music SA is doing early in 2020.

1. Promoting to South Australians the way in which audiences can support local musicians. 2. Providing free telephone consultations for musicians and industry practitioners on a range of professional development topics or COVID-19 questions. 3. Rescheduling Umbrella Festival to 18th September to 4th October and offering FREE REGISTRATIONS. https://umbrellafestival.com.au/ 4. Converting our gig guide to a live streaming gig guide. 5. Regularly updating our COVID-19 RESOURCES PAGE with tips, information, factsheets, help and advice. 6. Adding new releases to our Support Your Local Spotify Playlist. 7. Adding new music videos to our YouTube video channel. 8. Talking to the media about important COOVID-19 strategies. 9. Organising a VENUES webinar to see when and how our live music venues can reopen and get support to them in the meantime. 10. Advocating for government relief for musicians and venues. Music SA is part of the National Music Taskforce and also the Creative Industries Roundtable, which has met with the Premier. 11. Disseminating important news quickly via our social channels. 12. Talking to the Music Development Office and the UNESCO City of Music Office about quick and easy grants for musicians. 13. Converting our free workshops to webinars. 14. Offering our CUA30915 Certificate III in Music Industry (Performance) online. It is offered under a Third Party Arrangement with COSAMP RTO Code 41549 ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE TWO 019 SUMMARY SUMMARY2019 SUMMARY 2019 was a brilliant year for the contemporary music industry and cemented our global standing as a UNESCO City of Music!

ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE FOUR CONOMIC IMP MICECONOMIC IMPACTIMPA OF MUSIC For the 5th year running Music SA undertook the Live Music Census to ascertain the health of live music sector. In summary, it shows that throughout May 2019 there were 1623 gigs in 309 licensed venues across the state. This extrapolates to nearly 20,000 gigs a year. In Adelaide metro there were 1315 gigs across 211 licensed venues, which is a 23% increase in gigs from last year’s census. 39 gigs were original and 61 were covers. Regionally, gigs showed a steady increase from 2018.

1,315 gigs at 211 Venues per month

In November 2019 (pre-COVID-19) CEO of Music SA Lisa Bishop said “The live music census reveals that the level of gigging live in licensed venues in Adelaide is positive and we have witnessed sustained growth over the last 5 years. This is grass roots testament that contemporary musicians and bricks n’ mortar pubs are contributing to the mantel of Adelaide as a UNESCO City of Music. Look no further than the amazing number of bushfire fundraiser gigsin your local gig guide to see this in action.”

Local economic research consultancy EconSearch undertook a comprehensive piece of research on the music industry supply chain. This is the first time that the full music supply chain in , including song-writing, retail, manufacturing, recording studios, dedicated music media, education, as well as live music gigs and festivals has been analysed. The report has found that South Australia’s music scene contributed $375 million to the economy in 2015/16, and the music industry generates employment of 6,300 South Australians. 375

“Scouted was one of the best small conference/ showcase events I have ever been to, anywhere in the world, and I have been to a lot of them. It was basically 20 bands across 5 venues - and the venues were all within walking distance - so the group I was in (which included Nick Findlay from , Maggie Collins from BIGSOUND, Greg Carey, another artist manager, Briese Abbott from Kobalt, Blake Reynor from The Orchid) - we were all able to virtually see every single band. We travelled in a pack - ran between venues - would watch 3-4 songs of each - and move on!!

It was so well done, the line up was fantastic, the bands were of a very high standard, and we really felt like we got a strong sense and a good taste of where Adelaide music was at.”

ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE FOURTEEN The rate at which the Umbrella Festival has ascended Adelaide’s live music policy agenda has been nothing short of extraordinary in the last four years. This is evidenced with the growth statistics contained in this report, in particular the organic spread of Umbrella events outside the city. The UNESCO designation of Adelaide as a City of Music is a serious catalyst for taking the Umbrella festival seriously. This was beautifully embodied in the unveiling of Adelaide’s largest ever painted wall mural devoted to music during this year’s Umbrella Festival.

Umbrella Festival – Regional

In 2019, it was decided that Umbrella Music Festival would officially be expanded out to the rest of South Australia and remained the Umbrella Festival 2020, with a focus on regional events. A grant of $200,000 was provided by the Marshall Government to take the Umbrella Festival state wide in 2020 The regional umbrella team (Sian Walden and Joel Byrne) devoted much of the later months of 2019 to building relationships with regional councils, venues and event managers with the goal of planning large scale outreach programs which would be held in various cities throughout 2020. The predominant goal for the team was to organise and run information session and provide essential support around marketing and event facilitators with some opportunities for seed funding for event curators.

ANNUAL REPORT | PAGE FIFTEEN SCOUTED

The third edition of Scouted was held on Friday July 27th 2019 and saw 16 South Australian artists perform to international & national indus- try professionals – 8 of which were funded to attend Scouted, alongside delegates who were in town for Indie Con and the Air Awards. Pre- sented in the East End at some of Adelaide’s most prestigious venues including the Crown & Anchor, Exeter, The Stag and bringing long time late night venue Sugar into the fold. The 2019 event was supported by these venues, along with the Music Development Office, Scenestr, Themusic.com.au, Yalumba, Three D Radio, AHA, Young Henry’s, Derringers and the City of Adelaide.

Many people commented that with Scouted being boutique and well scheduled, it helps to capture the industry for an evening and really allows easy access to the best showcase for South Australian unsigned artists in compari- son to some other showcase festivals, which have musicians at all career points. Some of the industry in attendance were from Triple j, Handsome Tours, Dew Process, Select Music, GAGA Publishing, , Cook- ing Vinyl, Inertia, APRA AMCOS, Whitesky, Fidelity Corp, Warner Music, Heartstop Music, Themusic.com.au, Sony ATV and more.

A series of free lunch time performances of local original contemporary musicians in the major outdoor city square of Adelaide during the spring, summer and autumn months. A collaboration between the City of Adelaide and Music SA. This season saw an update to the program which saw each performance not being based on a theme and therefore contributed to a more fluid selection process when choosing acts. This season also saw us expanded the scope of the initiative to include Hindmarsh Square as an addition location for Music in The Square performances.

Clip Combat was a competition developed in collaboration between Music SA and the Government of South Australia’s Music Development Office, an initiative to encourage South Australian filmmakers under the age of 26 to build awareness of local SA musicians by submitting a video to the Clip Combat competition.

In order to enter the competition, interested filmmakers were required to engage with local, South Australian, original musicians and create a music video for either a current or upcoming song. Across the project, there were a total of 40 entries in its inaugural year, a sizeable result considering the level of communication and effort involved in entry.

The aforementioned entries were split into two categories; ‘Open’ (Ages 19 – 25) and ‘High School’ (Ages 10 – 18) – the winner of each of these categories were given a variety of prizes, as were the runner ups. Judging took place by means of a film industry panel including Liam Somerville (Capital Waste Pictures), Dave Gregan (Picture Hire Australia), Morgan Sette (Independent Filmmaker/ Photographer) and Lauren Koopowitz (Music Video Actress).

Each of the finalists were invited to a screening at Mercury Theatre; attended by Music SA staff, the finalists and their families, members of the local music and film industry, along with the Honorable Minister David Pisoni and Adelaide City Councillor Helen Donovan. The event was hosted by Music SA CEO, Lisa Bishop, each of the finalists’ videos were screened, with the winners announced and prizes presented by Minister Pisoni.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2019

1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements cover South Australian Contemporary Music Company Limited as an individual company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. South Australian Contemporary Music Company Limited is a company limited by guarantee.

(a) Basis of Preparation

The directors have prepared the financial statements on the basis that the Company is a non-reporting company because there are no users dependent on general purpose financial statements. These financial statements are therefore a special purpose financial statements that have been prepared in order to meet the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. The company is a not for profit company for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with mandatory Australian Accounting Standards applicable to entities reporting under the Corporations Act 2001 and the significant accounting policies disclosed below which the directors have determined are appropriate to meet the needs of members. Such accounting policies are consistent with the previous period unless otherwise stated.

The financial statements, except for the cash flow information, have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs unless otherwise stated in the notes. Material policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise.

(c) Going concern

(d) Revenue and other income

Grant revenue

Grant revenue is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income when the company obtains control of the grant, it is probable that the economic benefits gained from the grant will flow to the company and the amount of the grant can be measured reliably.

When grant revenue is received whereby the company incurs an obligation to deliver economic value directly back to the contributor, this is considered a reciprocal transaction and the grant revenue is recognised in the statement of financial position as a liability until the service has been delivered to the contributor, otherwise the grant is recognised as income on receipt.

South Australian Contemporary Music Company Limited receives non-reciprocal contributions of assets from the government and other parties for zero or a nominal value. These assets are recognised at fair value on the date of acquisition in the statement of financial position, with a corresponding amount of income recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Donations

Donations and bequests are recognised as revenue when received.

Interest revenue

Interest is recognised using the effective interest method.

Rendering of services

Revenue in relation to rendering of services is recognised depends on whether the outcome of the services can be measured reliably. If this is the case then the stage of completion of the services is used to determine the appropriate level of revenue to be recognised in the period.

If the outcome cannot be reliably measured then revenue is recognised to the extent of expenses recognised that are recoverable.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(e) Income Tax

The company is register as a non-profit organisation and is exempt from income tax under the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 Div 50-5. Apart from the manager all Board members act on a voluntary basis.

(f) Leases

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2019

1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued

(g) Property, Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured using the cost model.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flow that will be received from the assets' employment and subsequent disposal.

In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present for details of impairment.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straightline basis over the assets' useful life to the company commencing from the time the asset held ready for use.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciated assets are:

Class of Fixed Assets Depreciated Rate

Plant and Equipment 33 - 50%

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are recognised in profit and loss in the period in which they arise. When revalued assets are sold, amount are included in the revaluation surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

(h) Financial instruments

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. For financial assets, this is the equivalent to the date that the Company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).

13 South Australian Contemporary Music Company Limited ABN 19 079 445 051

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2019

1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs, except where the instrument is 'at fair value through profit or loss' in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.

Classification and subsequent measurement

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or cost. Where available, quoted prices in active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.

Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method.

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss.

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm's length transactions, references to similar instruments and option pricing models.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ when they are either held for trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss.

(ii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial asset is derecognised.

(iii) Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Company's intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial asset is derecognised.

14 South Australian Contemporary Music Company Limited ABN 19 079 445 051

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2019

1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not suitable to be classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.

They are subsequently measured at fair value with any remeasurements other than impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses recognised in other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss pertaining to that asset previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified into profit and loss.

Available-for-sale financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to be sold within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. All other available-for-sale financial assets are classified as current assets.

(v) Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities other than financial guarantees are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial liability is derecognised.

Impairment

At the end of each reporting period, the company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. A financial asset (or a group of financial assets) is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events (a "loss event") having occurred, which has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset(s).

In the case of financial assets carried at amortised cost, loss event may include: indications that the debtors or a group of debtors are experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; indication that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost (including loans and receivables), a separate allowance account is used to reduce the carrying amount of financial assets impaired by credit losses. After having taken all possible measures of recovery, if the management establishes that the carrying amount cannot be recovered by any means, at the point the written-off amounts are charged to the allowance account or the carrying of impaired financial assets is reduced directly if no impairment amount was previously recognised in the allowance accounts.

When the terms of financial assets that would otherwise have been past due or impaired have been renegotiated, the company recognises the impairment for such financial assets by taking into account the original terms as if the terms have been renegotiated so that the loss events that have occurred are duly considered.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2019

1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expire or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the company no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability, where is extinguished or transferred to another party, and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

(i) Impairment of assets

At the end of each reporting period, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible 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 immediately in profit or loss.

Where the future economic benefits of the asset are not primarily dependent upon on the asset's ability to generate net cash inflows and when the company 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 a class of asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Where an impairment loss on a revalued asset is identified, this is debited 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 same class of asset.

(j) Employee benefits

Provision is made for the Company's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled.

Employee benefits are presented as current liabilities in the statement of financial position if the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date regardless of the classification of the liability for measurement purposes under AASB 119.

(k) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Bank overdrafts also form part of cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows and are presented within current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
