LETTER FROM 
THE CHAIRMAN & MANAGING DIRECTOR
DR. MILES JAKEMAN AM & DANIEL LAI

Dear fellow shareholders, 

On behalf of the Board of Directors, Executive 
Management team and staff of archTIS, we are 
pleased to present our 2023 Annual Report and to 
thank you for your ongoing trust.

Throughout the 2023 financial year archTIS continued 
to execute and build on a strong platform of work.  
We set a goal at the beginning of the year to drive 
revenue growth and reduce our cash outgoings.  We 
are pleased to announce that we accomplished a 
37% year-over-year revenue growth and reduced 
operating cash outflows by more than 50% through 
capital efficiencies and streamlined operating costs. 

The Company delivered on strategic initiatives around 
product innovation, development of key strategic 
partnerships and the continued expansion of 
contracts with key customers.

The Company has now won over $17M of contracts 
with the Australian Department of Defence to provide 
secure collaboration and sharing of sensitive and 
classified information.  We are working closely with 
members of Defence and its key channel partners to 
improve data maturity and security. In June 2023, this 
resulted in the awarding of a $4M proof of concept 
contract to assist in modernising the workforce.  
Most of this revenue will be recognised in the coming 
financial year.  

Our success with the Australian Department 
of Defence is driving new and exciting pipeline 
opportunities with other coalition forces, including 
AUKUS and other traditional “Five Eye” countries.  
Additionally, through partnerships with Microsoft, 
Thales, Leidos and others we were able to secure 
new global contracts with top-tier enterprises in 
the defence industry, manufacturing and financial 
services sectors. 

Yours sincerely,  

Strong market tailwinds continue in the overall 
cyber-security space.  Over the past year, not only 
have some of Australia’s largest and most important 
institutions been susceptible to cyber-breaches, 
but our military allies suffered devastating internal 
security breaches, organisations experienced 
increased levels of supply chain espionage and 
we returned to geo-political tensions including the 
escalation of the war in the Ukraine.  We believe 
strongly that the data-centric approach of archTIS 
solutions with Kojensi and NC Protect could have 
played a significant role in either limiting or deterring 
some of these cyber incidences.  We are trusted to 
safeguard the world’s most sensitive information on 
the battlefield, in a research lab, a manufacturing 
plant or office; whether on-site or remote.  We make 
sure that sensitive and classified information is shared 
securely. 

Heading into FY24, we are encouraged by the 
foundation the team has built and look forward to a 
number of key initiatives that were commenced in 
FY23.  We are particularly looking to scale and be the 
global thought leader in data-centric architecture; the 
preferred platform of choice for sharing of information 
across Government, Defence and Defence industry; 
and be the premium provider of policy enforced 
access control to the global defence market. 

In closing, and on behalf of the wider Board and 
Executives, we would like to thank the entire team 
for their commitment and continued execution of our 
strategic initiatives. As we continue to build a global 
company, we would also like to thank our customers, 
partners and shareholders for their ongoing support 
and of course trust.

2023 HIGHLIGHTS

GLOBAL CUSTOMER & PARTNER GROWTH

“With NC Protect we can increase our collaboration 
by automatically controlling access to classified 
information. Before NC Protect, we had to lock 
everything down so very few users could access 
content to the extent that it inhibited our ability to 
collaborate with our coalition partners in theatre.”

Brigadier General Warren Gould
Director General Systems and Integration, 
Australian Department of Defence

“Our Aerospace and Defense Industrial Base customers and 
partners are actively seeking a product that can help meet 
zero-trust requirements, especially in respect to demonstrating 
compliance with the new CMMC standards for the secure 
handling of Controlled Unclassified Information. The innovative 
content watermarking capability from NC Protect makes it 
painless to add the required CUI Designator Label to meet 
compliance. 

More importantly, NC Protect works in concert with Microsoft 
Purview Information Protection to secure and encrypt the content 
leveraging a data-centric, zero-trust methodology ensuring 
recommended practices for information security and data 
handling.”

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

contracts.  Licencing margins however remain strong at 
76%.   

Trusted to safeguard the world’s most sensitive 
information, archTIS Limited (Company) is a global 
provider of data-centric technology that provide a zero-
trust environment for the secure collaboration of sensitive 
information.  The Company’s award-wining cybersecurity 
solutions protect information across government, 
defence, supply chain and commercial enterprises for 
regulated industries through our innovative attribute-
based access and control (ABAC) Policies.  We are 
focused on unlocking the potential of an information-
driven world by enabling Architected Trusted Information 
Sharing (archTIS).

During FY23, archTIS delivered upon its previously 
market communicated adjusted outlook statements.

•  Annual revenue growth of 30-40%:  Annual 

revenue was up 37% from FY22 with licensing 
revenue accounting for 50% of the total.   

•  $9.5M of cash receipts:  The objective was 

achieved with customer cash receipts increasing 
over 200% from the prior comparative period (PCP). 

•  53% reduction in operating cash outflows:  The 
Company lowered its net operating cash outflow or 
cash burn by 53%.  Cash outflow decreased from 
$10.6M to $5.0M from the PCP. 

archTIS delivered $6.4M of revenue which was a 37% 
increase from $4.6M in the PCP.  Licensing revenue was 
$3.2M which was a 22% increase from the prior year.  
Licensing revenue represents recurring revenue from 
archTIS solutions developed, customised and maintained 
for customers including Kojensi SaaS, NC Protect, 
cp.Protect and cp.Discover which are delivered to 
Australian and international customers.  Annual recurring 
revenue or ARR was $3.6M an increase of 11% from the 
PCP with net customer churn under 1% per quarter. 

Service revenue was up 37% from the PCP to 
$2.8M.  With the higher level of services, gross margin 
percentage decreased to 51% from 71%.  The lower 
gross margin percentage was associated with increased 
third-party service resources and hardware procurements 
to deliver the various Australian Department of Defence 

Cash receipts were $9.5M which was broken out by a 
223% increase in receipts from customers (inclusive 
of GST) and $1.8M receipts from R&D tax incentives.  
The Company ended the year with $3.2M of available 
cash and $4.3M in trade receivables, thus improving 
the Company’s future cash position. Subsequent to 
the close of the financial year, the Company collected 
approximately $3.7M of open receivables.  Operating 
expenses were $7.1M, a reduction of 22% from the PCP 
reflecting the Company’s drive to reduce the overall cost 
structure (further discussed below). 

FY23 GLOBAL CUSTOMER ADOPTION 
SUPPORTS GO TO MARKET IN 
VERTICAL INDUSTRIES 

archTIS continued to demonstrate referenceable 
customer traction across its key markets of global 
defence, defence industrials and regulated industries. As 
a sampling: 

The Australian Department of Defence “AUS Defence” 
has now procured over $17M of contracts over the past 
4 years.  The Company delivered $4M in revenue across 
licensing, services, support and minimal hardware for 
secure collaboration of Kojensi on-premises.  In FY23, 
AUS Defence also procured a $4.06M contract to 
conduct a proof of concept to modernise their workplace 
environment using NC Protect.  An Australian university 
extended NC Protect’s data-centric access controls from 
unstructured data (Microsoft documents) in SharePoint 
to also include structured data (data held in databases) 
managed by Power BI; which carried a contract value of 
$270,000. 

In support of global defence industrials, Babcock 
Australia signed a total contract value of $241,200 for 
Kojensi SaaS, of which $78,000 is for ARR across an 
initial 100 users.  A US Defense supplier that develops 
spacecraft and situational awareness software to protect 
space assets selected NC Protect in Microsoft’s GCC-
High Cloud environment for CMMC and CUI to meet US 
Department of Defense compliance requirements.

ARCHTIS LIMITEDOVERVIEW OF FY23
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

Expanding into regulated commercial enterprises, 
global logistics company DHL and the Bank of Finland 
upgraded their on-premises instances of cp.Protect 
with six-figure contracts to deploy NC Protect and 
NC Encrypt in Microsoft 365.  The solutions assist 
companies in ensuring policy-based orchestration 
around encrypted key management and data sovereignty 
as they migrate into the Cloud. 

PRODUCT INNOVATION AND KEY 
ALLIANCE DEVELOPMENT 

Kojensi Innovations 

archTIS has developed new functionality for companies 
to meet export controls for Kojensi. This has been an 
important part of preparing Kojensi for international 
launch off the back of the AUKUS announcement. 
Kojensi has also undergone a security compliance review 
to meet the international accreditation frameworks 
required to operate in multiple jurisdictions.

NC Encrypt Released to Market

archTIS launched NC Encrypt, a new product offering 
that evolved from the prior year purchase of the 
technology assets from CipherPoint (cp.Protect).  
NC Encrypt provides independent encryption key 
management and Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) 
technology for Microsoft 365 applications and 
SharePoint Server environments.  NC Encrypt ties in 
directly into Microsoft Purview Information Protection 
(MPIP) and RMS encryption capabilities while providing 
policy-based encryption around data sovereignty.

Microsoft Partnership and IP Co-Sell  

The Company had a number of Microsoft co-sell 
opportunities during the year including global logistics 
provider DHL for NC Protect and NC Encrypt and a 
number of key global defence pipeline opportunities. 

archTIS continues to build a strong Microsoft alliance 
and pipeline across product technologies, field sales and 
go to market activities through its membership in the 
invitation-only Microsoft Intelligent Security Association 
(MISA).  Additionally, the Company has delivered several 
go to market activities with Microsoft at the world’s 
largest security exhibition, RSA, including a leadership 
position on an invite-only Data Security Executive 
Roundtable and a demonstration in the Microsoft Partner 
Showcase on the show floor to showcase NC Protect’s 
integrations with MPIP and Microsoft Sentinel.   

archTIS’ NC Protect was named a Compliance & Privacy 
Trailblazer Award Finalist in the annual Microsoft Security 
Excellence Awards. NC Protect was nominated for its 
unique capabilities for solving Defence requirements for 
the safe handling of and application of visual markings 
for sensitive, Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) 
and classified data.   

KPMG Consortium 

archTIS participated in a KPMG-led systems integration 
consortium for AUS Defence. The Company is working 
closely with KPMG and the other members of the 
OneDefence consortium to improve the data maturity 
and security of AUS Defence.   

Thales

NetApp Technology Alliance Program

The Company announced the integration of NC Encrypt 
with strategic alliance partner Thales’ CipherTrust 
Manager to offer a viable solution for customers using 
Microsoft 365 that are determined to keep their keys 
separated from their data in the cloud. In addition, 
customers already using Thales hardware security 
modules that want the additional value of dynamic, 
policy-driven encryption can easily integrate with NC 
Protect. This opens new market distribution opportunities 
with existing Thales partners and customers.  

Subsequent to the close of the financial year, archTIS 
announced its membership in the NetApp Technology 
Alliance Program as a Preferred Partner with field 
validation of NC Protect’s integration with NetApp 
ONTAP.  NC Protect paired with ONTAP addresses the 
protection of information, dynamically at the data layer 
at the time of access. The combined solution provides a 
multi-faceted 360-degree layered approach to protecting 
a customer’s most important asset, data, that is 
accessed on Windows File Shares in ONTAP.

CORPORATE INITIATIVES

OUTLOOK 

Capital Finance Package 

As announced on 2 December 2022, archTIS 
successfully completed a comprehensive capital finance 
program to support the Company’s continued revenue 
growth outlook and product innovation.  The $3.5M 
capital finance program was comprised of:

(a) the completion of a share placement through the 
support of key US and Australian long-term institutional 
investors, new domestic and international institutions, as 
well as sophisticated investors and participation by key 
Company executives and all Board Members,

(b) a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) to existing Shareholders; 
and,

(c) a market rate facility through Commonwealth Bank of 
Australia (CBA).  

Launched New Interactive Investor Hub

The Company launched a new interactive investor hub 
for communicating the latest Company announcements, 
reports and presentations.  It also provides an 
interactive online experience allowing the archTIS 
investor community to comment on and ask the archTIS 
management team questions regarding company news 
and information via the portal.   

Reduction in Overall Cost Structure  

As announced on 17 November 2022, archTIS reduced 
its overall cost structure to further align with macro-
market demands in striving for cash flow neutrality.  The 
Company reduced its operating expenses by $2.0M 
per annum; which included the reduction of staff and 
contractors and taking several steps to become more 
efficient by cutting discretionary spend.

archTIS is positioned to continue to execute and deliver 
on strong customer adoption to revenue growth that 
will increase cash collections while maintaining capital 
efficiencies and expenses, thus further reducing cash 
outflows. 

In FY24 the Company will focus on:

•  Continuing the push toward becoming cash flow 

positive. 

•  Delivering revenue growth through licensing 

software that drives high margins and predictability 
associated with ARR.

•  Drive product innovation to maintain our market 
leading position for securing the world’s most 
sensitive information - including the launch of 
Kojensi into international markets.

• 

Invest in strong staff development, training and 
advancement.

•  Maintain capital efficiency through management of 

operating costs.

•  Deliver core strategic objectives of being the:

•  Preferred platform for sharing information across 
Government, Defence and Defence Industry.

•  Premium provider of Policy Enforced Access 
Management products to the global defence 
market.

•  Global thought leader in data-centric 

architecture.

ARCHTIS LIMITED 
OVERVIEW OF FY23
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

MATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS

Cyber and Security Risks

A cyber-attack has the potential to disrupt the 
Company’s information technology platform which is 
integral to the efficient operation of its business. The 
threat of cyber-attacks on security companies is real. A 
successful cyber-attack on the Company would cause 
significant damage to the Company’s reputation and 
brand as well as have a material adverse impact on the 
financial position and performance of the Company.

Regulatory Risk

archTIS has been eligible for the federal government 
R&D tax incentive.  If the regulation regarding the R&D 
tax incentives changed and the Company was no longer 
eligible, this would impact on archTIS’ anticipated costs 
for development and materially impact on the Company’s 
financial and operating performance.

Uncertainty of Future Profitability

The success of the Company’s sales and operations 
relies on the ability to attract more commercial users of 
the relevant technology and its products. An inability 
to attract new clients and users in a timely manner 
will affect the Company’s earning ability. While the 
Company has been successful in attracting clients 
in the government sector in Australia, this will not 
necessarily translate into successful utilisation in other 
verticals and countries. Furthermore, the Company’s 
profitability will be impacted by its ability to successfully 
execute its commercialisation and growth strategies, 
economic conditions in the markets in which it operates, 
competitive factors and regulatory developments. 
Accordingly, the extent of any future profits are uncertain. 
Moreover, the level of profitability cannot be predicted.

The Company’s risk management approach involves the 
ongoing assessment, monitoring and reporting of risks 
that could impede the Company’s progress in delivering 
the Company’s strategic priorities. As the Company 
continues to grow and evolve, the material risk profile 
may change.

Below is a list material business risks that the Company 
considers may affect the success of its strategy and 
financial prospects for future years, including some 
which are not directly within the Company’s control. The 
Company may face a range of other risks in conducting 
its business activities in addition to those set out below.

Technology and Competition Risks

Technology markets, by their very nature, are a 
continually evolving marketplace. To succeed, the 
Company will need to research, develop, design, build 
and bring to market new enhancements to its existing 
products as well as to new markets that might not 
yet exist. The Company may not be able to engage in 
research or develop its existing (and new) products to 
meet the changing needs of its markets and the new 
and emerging technologies. At the same time, products 
and technologies developed by others may render the 
Company’s products and systems obsolete or non-
competitive. If any of these scenarios were to occur, 
it would adversely impact the operating results and 
potential of the Company.

Ability to Attract and Retain Appropriately  
Skilled Employees

The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day 
operations and the strategic management of the 
Company depends substantially on its senior 
management and key personnel. Company performance 
also depends on its ability to attract and retain skilled 
resources with relevant industry and technical expertise. 
The loss of several key personnel or the inability to 
attract additional resources may have an adverse impact 
on the financial and operating performance of the 
Company.

DIREC T ORS’ REPOR T

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the consolidated 
entity, in accordance with the requirements of section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.

Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and 
controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors.

Overview of remuneration approach and framework

The performance of the consolidated entity depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The remuneration 
philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high-quality personnel.

The remuneration of Directors and other key management personnel is fixed annually. Incentives are structured to 
reward outstanding performance against agreed Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) including financial and non-
financial metrics. 

The consolidated entity did not engage a remuneration consultant to provide recommendations in respect of the 
remuneration of key management personnel.

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive 
director remuneration is separate.

Non-executive directors’ remuneration

Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-executive 
directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. 

The ASX Listing Rules and the Company’s Constitution provide that the aggregate annual non-executive directors’ 
fees paid shall not exceed that determined by shareholders in a general meeting. On 24 November 2021, 
shareholders approved a maximum annual aggregate remuneration of $500,000 per annum.

Executive remuneration

The consolidated entity aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of 
remuneration which has both fixed and variable components.

The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components:

•  base pay and non-monetary benefits

• 

• 

short-term performance incentives

share-based payments

•  other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave

The combination of these comprises the executive’s total remuneration.

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by 
the Board based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the consolidated entity and 
comparable market remunerations.

Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle 
benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the consolidated entity and provides additional value to the 
executive.

The short-term incentives (‘STI’) program is designed to align the targets of the business units with the performance 
hurdles of executives. STI payments are granted to executives based on specific annual targets and key performance 
indicators (‘KPI’s’) being achieved.

The long-term incentives (‘LTI’) include long service leave and share-based payments. Securities are awarded to 
executives which vest over periods of approximately two to three years based on LTI measures.

AUDITOR

RSM Australia Partners (“RSM”) continues in office in accordance with section 327 of the Corporations Act 2001.

Non-audit services

Details of the amounts paid or payable to RSM for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor 
are outlined in note 29 to the financial statements.

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by 
another person or firm on RSM’s behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors 
imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 29 to the financial statements do not 
compromise the external auditor’s independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following 
reasons:

•

•

all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and
objectivity of RSM; and

none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as issued by the
Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards (APES) Board set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional
Accountants, including reviewing or auditing RSM’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making
capacity for the company, acting as advocate for the company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

Indemnity and insurance of auditor

The company has not, during or since the end of the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the auditor of 
the company or any related entity against a liability incurred by the auditor.

During the financial year, the company has not paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the auditor of the 
company or any related entity.

Rounding of amounts

The company is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and 
Investments Commission, relating to ‘rounding-off’. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with 
that Corporations Instrument to the nearest dollar.

Corporate Governance 

The Company’s 2023 Corporate Governance Statement is contained in the ‘Corporate Governance’ section of the 
Company’s website at https://www.archtis.com/archtis-asx-ar9-investor-relations/.

Auditor’s independence declaration

A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is 
included on page 67.

This report is made in accordance with a resolution of directors, pursuant to section 298(2)(a) of the Corporations Act 
2001.

On behalf of the directors,

(a)  Going concern 

The 
financial  statements  have  been 
prepared on the going concern basis, which 
contemplates continuity of normal business 
activities  and  the  realisation  of  assets  and 
discharge of liabilities in the normal course 
of business. 

The consolidated entity incurred a loss after 
tax of $8,237,955 (2022 $9,445,288) and had 
net  operating  cash  outflows  of  $4,955,907 
(2022: $10,569,518). The entity has prepared 
a cash flow forecast which indicates that the 
entity  has sufficient  cash  to meet  its  debts 
as and when they fall due and payable.   

The  Directors  believe  that  it  is  reasonably 
foreseeable that the consolidated entity will 
continue  as  a  going  concern  and  that  it  is 
appropriate to adopt the going concern basis 
in the preparation of the financial report after 
consideration of the following factors:

• 

The  consolidated  entity  is  currently

the 
consolidated  entity  has  available  cash 
as  at  30  June  2023  of  $3.2  million.  A

(g)  Revenue recognition 

The consolidated entity recognises revenue 
as follows: 

Revenue from contracts with customers 

Revenue  is  recognised  at  an  amount  that 
reflects  the  consideration  to  which  the 
consolidated entity is expected to be entitled 
in  exchange  for  transferring  goods  or 
services  to  a  customer.  For  each  contract 
with  a  customer,  the  consolidated  entity: 
identifies  the  contract  with  a  customer; 
identifies the performance obligations in the 
contract;  determines  the  transaction  price 
which  takes 
into  account  estimates  of 
variable consideration and the time value of 
money; allocates the transaction price to the 
separate  performance  obligations  on  the 
basis of the relative stand-alone selling price 
of  each  distinct  good  or  service  to  be 
delivered;  and  recognises  revenue  when  or 
as each performance obligation is satisfied 
in a manner that depicts the transfer to the 
customer of the goods or services promised. 

Variable consideration within the transaction 
price, if any, reflects concessions provided to 
the customer such as discounts, rebates and 
refunds,  any  potential  bonuses  receivable 
from the customer and any other contingent 

is  subject 

events.  Such  estimates  are  determined 
using  either  the  'expected  value'  or  'most 
likely amount' method. The measurement of 
variable  consideration 
to  a 
constraining  principle  whereby  revenue  will 
only  be  recognised  to  the  extent  that  it  is 
highly probable that a significant reversal in 
revenue 
the 
recognised will not occur. The measurement 
constraint  continues  until  the  uncertainty 
associated with the variable consideration is 
subsequently  resolved.  Amounts  received 
that are subject to the constraining principle 
are recognised as a refund liability.

Sale of goods

the  sale  of  goods 

is 
Revenue 
recognised  at  the  point  in  time  when  the 
customer  obtains  control  of  the  goods, 
which is generally at the time of delivery. 

Rendering of services 

Revenue from a contract to provide services 
is  recognised  over  time  as  the  services  are 
rendered based on either a fixed price or an 
hourly rate. 

Interest   

Interest  revenue  is  recognised  as  interest 
accrues using the effective interest method. 
This is a method of calculating the amortised 
cost  of  a  financial  asset  and  allocating  the 
interest  income  over  the  relevant  period 
using the effective interest rate, which is the 
rate that exactly discounts estimated future 
cash receipts through the expected life of the 
financial asset to the net carrying amount of 
the financial asset.   

Other revenue 

Other  revenue  is  recognised  when  it  is 
received  or  when  the  right  to  receive 
payment is established. 

(h)  Government grants 

Government  grants  relating  to  costs  are 
deferred and recognised in profit or loss over 
the period necessary to match them with the 
costs that they are intended to compensate. 

(i)

Deferred  tax  assets  and

assets are recovered or liabilities are settled,

Deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  for 
deductible 
temporary  differences  and 
unused tax losses only if it is probable that 
future  taxable  amounts  will  be  available  to 
utilise  those  temporary  differences  and 
losses. 

The  carrying  amount  of  recognised  and 
unrecognised  deferred 
tax  assets  are 
reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax 
assets recognised are reduced to the extent 
that  it  is  no  longer  probable  that  future 
taxable  profits  will  be  available  for  the 
carrying amount to be recovered. Previously 
unrecognised  deferred 
tax  assets  are 
recognised  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable 
that there are future taxable profits available 
to recover the asset. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset 
only where there is a legally enforceable right 
to  offset  current  tax  assets  against  current 
tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against 
deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the 
same  taxable  authority  on  either  the  same 
taxable  entity  or  different  taxable  entities 
which intend to settle simultaneously. 

archTIS  Limited  (the  'head  entity')  and  its 
wholly-owned  Australian  subsidiaries  have 
formed  an  income  tax  consolidated  group 
under  the  tax  consolidation  regime.  The 
head  entity  and  each  subsidiary  in  the  tax 
consolidated group continue to account for 
their own current and deferred tax amounts. 
The tax consolidated group has applied the 
'separate taxpayer within group' approach in 
determining the appropriate amount of taxes

(l)  Trade and other receivables 

In  addition  to  its  own  current  and  deferred 
tax amounts, the head entity also recognises 
the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the 
deferred tax assets arising from unused tax 
losses and unused tax credits assumed from 
each  subsidiary  in  the  tax  consolidated 
group. 

(j)  Current and non-current classification 

Assets  and  liabilities  are  presented  in  the 
statement  of  financial  position  based  on 
current and non-current classification. 

An  asset  is  classified  as  current when:  it  is 
either expected to be realised or intended to 
be  sold  or  consumed  in  the  consolidated 
entity's  normal  operating  cycle;  it  is  held 
primarily  for  the  purpose  of  trading;  it  is 
expected  to  be  realised  within  12  months 
after  the  reporting  period;  or  the  asset  is 
cash  or  cash  equivalent  unless  restricted 
from  being  exchanged  or  used  to  settle  a 
liability  for  at  least  12  months  after  the 
reporting  period.  All  other  assets  are 
classified as non-current. 

A liability is classified as current when:  
• 

it is either expected to be settled in the 
consolidated  entity's  normal  operating 
cycle; 
it  is  held  primarily  for  the  purpose  of 
trading;  
it is due to be settled within 12 months 
after the reporting period; or  
there is no unconditional right to defer 
the settlement of the liability for at least 
12 months after the reporting period. 

• 

• 

• 

All  other  liabilities  are  classified  as  non-
current.  

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always 
classified as non-current. 

(k)  Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on 
hand,  deposits  held  at  call  with  financial 
institutions,  other  short-term,  highly  liquid 
investments with original maturities of three 
months or less that are readily convertible to 
known  amounts  of  cash  and  which  are 
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in 
value.  For  the  statement  of  cash  flows 
presentation  purposes,  cash  and  cash 
equivalents  also  includes  bank  overdrafts, 
which  are  shown  within  borrowings 
in 
current 
the  statement  of 
financial position.

The  consolidated  entity  has  applied  the 
simplified  approach  to  measuring  expected 
credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected 
loss  allowance.  To  measure  the  expected 
credit  losses,  trade  receivables  have  been 
grouped based on days overdue.

Where  there  has  not  been  a  significant 
increase  in  exposure  to  credit  risk  since 
initial  recognition,  a  12-month  expected 
credit  loss  allowance  is  estimated.  This 
represents  a  portion  of  the  asset's  lifetime 
expected credit losses that is attributable to 
a  default  event  that  is  possible  within  the 
next 12 months. Where a financial asset has

determined  that  credit  risk  has  increased 
significantly, the loss allowance is based on 
the  asset's  lifetime  expected  credit  losses. 
The  amount  of  expected  credit

probability  weighted  present  value  of 
anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the

(m)  Investments and other financial assets 

Investments  and  other  financial  assets  are 
initially  measured  at  fair  value.  Transaction 
costs  are  included  as  part  of  the  initial

fair value through profit or loss. Such assets

Financial assets are derecognised when the 
rights to receive cash flows have expired or 
have been transferred and the consolidated 
entity  has  transferred  substantially  all  the 
risks and rewards of ownership. When there 
is  no  reasonable  expectation  of  recovering 
part  or  all  of  a  financial  asset,  it's  carrying

Impairment of financial assets 

The  consolidated  entity  recognises  a  loss 
allowance  for  expected  credit  losses  on 
financial  assets  which  are  either  measured 
at amortised cost or fair value through other 
comprehensive  income.  The  measurement 
of  the  loss  allowance  depends  upon  the

Assets  and  liabilities  are  presented  in  the 

statement  of  financial  position  based  on 

current and non-current classification. 

An  asset  is  classified  as  current when:  it  is 

either expected to be realised or intended to 

be  sold  or  consumed  in  the  consolidated 

entity's  normal  operating  cycle;  it  is  held 

expected  to  be  realised  within  12  months 

after  the  reporting  period;  or  the  asset  is 

cash  or  cash  equivalent  unless  restricted 

from  being  exchanged  or  used  to  settle  a 

liability  for  at  least  12  months  after  the 

reporting  period.  All  other  assets  are 

classified as non-current. 

The  consolidated  entity  has  applied  the 

simplified  approach  to  measuring  expected 

loss  allowance.  To  measure  the  expected 

credit  losses,  trade  receivables  have  been 

grouped based on days overdue. 

Other 

receivables  are 

recognised  at 

amortised  cost, 

less  any  allowance  for 

expected credit losses. 

Investments  and  other  financial  assets  are 

initially  measured  at  fair  value.  Transaction 

costs  are  included  as  part  of  the  initial 

measurement, except for financial assets at 

fair value through profit or loss. Such assets 

are  subsequently  measured  at  either 

amortised  cost  or  fair  value  depending  on

(m)  Investments and other financial assets 

Where  there  has  not  been  a  significant 

increase  in  exposure  to  credit  risk  since 

initial  recognition,  a  12-month  expected 

credit  loss  allowance  is  estimated.  This 

represents  a  portion  of  the  asset's  lifetime 

expected credit losses that is attributable to 

a  default  event  that  is  possible  within  the 

next 12 months. Where a financial asset has 

become  credit 

impaired  or  where 

it 

is 

determined  that  credit  risk  has  increased 

significantly, the loss allowance is based on 

the  asset's  lifetime  expected  credit  losses. 

The  amount  of  expected  credit 

loss 

recognised is measured on the basis of the 

probability  weighted  present  value  of 

anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the 

instrument  discounted  at 

the  original 

effective interest rate.

Plant  and  equipment  is  stated  at  historical

Impairment of financial assets 

The  consolidated  entity  recognises  a  loss 

allowance  for  expected  credit  losses  on 

financial  assets  which  are  either  measured 

at amortised cost or fair value through other 

comprehensive  income.  The  measurement 

of  the  loss  allowance  depends  upon  the

of  each  reporting  period  as  to  whether  the

Right-of-use  assets  are  depreciated  on  a

consolidated  entity  expects 
to  obtain

(p) 

Intangible assets 

Intangible  assets  acquired  as  part  of  a 
business  combination,  other  than  goodwill, 
are initially measured at their fair value at the 
date  of  the  acquisition.  Intangible  assets 
acquired  separately  are  initially  recognised 
at  cost.  Indefinite  life  intangible  assets  are 
not  amortised  and  are  subsequently 
measured at cost less any impairment. Finite 
life 
intangible  assets  are  subsequently 
measured at cost less amortisation and any 
impairment. The gains or losses recognised 
in  profit  or 
the 
derecognition  of 
intangible  assets  are 
measured  as  the  difference  between  net 
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount 
of  the  intangible  asset.  The  method  and 
useful lives of finite life intangible assets are 
reviewed annually. Changes in the expected 
pattern  of  consumption  or  useful  life  are 
accounted for prospectively by changing the 
amortisation method or period.

Research and development tax incentive 

The  Research  and  Development  Tax 
Incentive  (RDTI)  is  a  refundable  tax  offset 
that  is  calculated  as  43.5%  of  the  eligible 
research and development expenditure that 
has been incurred by the consolidated entity. 
The Directors consider any payment arising 
from  the  RDTI  to  be  a  form  of  government 
assistance  and  are  of  the  view  that  it  is 
appropriate  to  recognise  RDTI  receipts  as 
in  accordance  with 
Government  Grants 
AASB120  Accounting 
for  Government 
Grants  and  Disclosure  of  Government 
Assistance. 

As such, RTDI refunds are recognised when 
there is a sufficient degree of certainty that 
the consolidated entity will comply with the 
conditions  attaching  to  RDTI  and  that  the 
payment  will  be received. Such refunds  are 
recognised  in  the  Statement  of  profit  and

payments arising from a change in an index

The liability for annual leave and long service

(x) Fair value measurement 

When  an  asset  or  liability,  financial  or  non-
financial, 
is  measured  at  fair  value  for 
recognition  or  disclosure  purposes,  the  fair 
value  is  based  on  the  price  that  would  be 
received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a 
liability  in  an  orderly  transaction  between 
market  participants  at  the  measurement 
date;  and  assumes that  the  transaction  will 
take place either: in the principal market; or 
in  the  absence  of  a  principal  market,  in  the 
most advantageous market.

is  measured  using 

Fair 
the 
assumptions that market participants would 
use  when  pricing  the  asset  or 
liability, 
assuming  they  act  in  their  economic  best 
interests.  For  non-financial  assets,  the  fair 
value  measurement  is  based  on  its  highest 
and best use. Valuation techniques that are 
appropriate  in  the  circumstances  and  for 
which  sufficient  data  are  available 
to

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the 
issue of new shares or options are shown in

Dividends  are  recognised  when  declared

(aa)  Business combinations 

The  acquisition  method  of  accounting  is 
used to account for business combinations 
regardless of whether equity instruments or 
other assets are acquired. 

The consideration transferred is the sum of 
the acquisition-date fair values of the assets 
transferred,  equity  instruments  issued  or 
liabilities  incurred by  the  acquirer  to  former 
owners  of  the  acquiree  and  the  amount  of 
any non-controlling  interest  in  the  acquiree. 
For  each  business  combination,  the  non-
controlling 
is 
measured  at  either  fair  value  or  at  the

proportionate  share  of 
identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs 
are expensed as incurred to profit or loss.

(bb)  Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share 

Basic  earnings  per  share  is  calculated  by 
dividing the profit attributable to the owners 
of  archTIS  Limited,  excluding  any  costs  of 
servicing  equity  other  than  ordinary  shares, 
by the weighted average number of ordinary 
shares outstanding during the financial year, 
adjusted  for  bonus  elements  in  ordinary 
shares issued during the financial year. 

Diluted earnings per share 

Diluted  earnings  per  share  adjusts  the 
figures  used  in  the  determination  of  basic 
earnings per share to take into account the 
after income tax effect of interest and other 
financing  costs  associated  with  dilutive 
potential  ordinary  shares  and  the  weighted 
average number of shares assumed to have 
been issued for no consideration in relation 
to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

The company is of  a kind referred to in

relating

to

'rounding-off'.

Amounts  in  this  report  have been  rounded

off  in  accordance  with  that Corporations

Instrument to the nearest dollar.

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to 
make  judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the 
in  the  financial  statements.  Management 
reported  amounts 
continually  evaluates  its  judgements  and  estimates  in  relation  to 
assets,  liabilities,  contingent  liabilities,  revenue  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.  The  judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  that  have  a 
significant  risk  of  causing  a  material  adjustment  to  the  carrying 
amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  (refer  to  the  respective  notes) 
within the next financial year are discussed below.  

Revenue from contracts with customers involving sale of goods 
When  recognising  revenue  in  relation  to  the  sale  of  goods  to 
customers, the key performance obligation of the consolidated entity 
is considered to be the point of delivery of the goods to the customer, 
as this is deemed to be the time that the customer obtains control of 
the  promised  goods  and  therefore  the  benefits  of  unimpeded 
access. 

Share-based payment transactions 
The  consolidated  entity  measures  the  cost  of  equity-settled 
transactions  with  employees  by  reference  to  the  fair  value  of  the 
equity  instruments  at  the  date  at  which  they  are  granted.  The  fair 
value is determined by using either the Binomial model taking into 
account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were 
granted.  The  accounting  estimates  and  assumptions  relating  to 
equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the 
carrying  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  within  the  next  annual 
reporting period  but  may  impact profit  or  loss  and  equity.  Refer  to 
note 24 for further information. 

Estimation of useful lives of assets 
The  consolidated  entity  determines  the  estimated  useful  lives  and 
related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant 
and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could 
change  significantly  as  a  result  of  technical  innovations  or  some 
other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase 
where  the  useful  lives  are  less  than  previously  estimated  lives,  or 
technically  obsolete  or  non-strategic  assets  that  have  been 
abandoned or sold will be written off or written down. 

Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 
The consolidated entity tests annually, or more frequently if events 
or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill 
and  other  indefinite  life  intangible  assets  have  suffered  any 
impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 
1. The  recoverable  amounts  of  cash-generating  units  have  been
determined  based  on  value-in-use  calculations.  These  calculations
require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates
based  on  the  current  cost  of  capital  and  growth  rates  of  the
estimated future cash flows. Refer to note 12 for further information. 

Income tax 
The consolidated entity is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions 
in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in determining 
the  provision  for  income  tax.  There  are  many  transactions  and 
calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for 
which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The consolidated 

entity recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on 
the consolidated entity's current understanding of the tax law. Where 
the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying 
amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax 
provisions in the period in which such determination is made. 

Recovery of deferred tax assets 
Deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  for  deductible  temporary 
differences  only  if  the  consolidated  entity  considers  it  is  probable 
that  future  taxable  amounts  will  be  available  to  utilise  those 
temporary differences and losses. 

lease 

liability.  Judgement 

Lease term 
The  lease  term  is  a  significant  component  in  the  measurement  of 
both  the  right-of-use  asset  and 
is 
exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that 
an option to extend the lease or purchase the underlying asset will 
be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, 
when  ascertaining  the  periods  to  be  included  in  the  lease  term.  In 
determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create 
an  economical  incentive  to exercise  an  extension  option,  or  not  to 
exercise  a  termination  option,  are  considered  at  the 
lease 
the 
commencement  date.  Factors  considered  may 
importance  of  the  asset  to  the  consolidated  entity's  operations; 
comparison  of  terms  and  conditions  to  prevailing  market  rates; 
incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold 
improvements;  and  the  costs  and  disruption  to  replace  the  asset. 
The consolidated entity reassesses whether it is reasonably certain 
to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, 
if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances. 

include 

Incremental borrowing rate 
Where  the  interest  rate  implicit  in  a  lease  cannot  be  readily 
determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to discount 
future  lease  payments  to  measure  the  present  value  of  the  lease 
liability at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is based on 
what the consolidated entity estimates it would have to pay a third 
party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar 
value  to  the  right-of-use  asset,  with  similar  terms,  security  and 
economic environment. 

Employee benefits provision 
As discussed in note 1, the liability for employee benefits expected 
to  be  settled  more  than  12  months  from  the  reporting  date  are 
recognised  and  measured  at  the  present  value  of  the  estimated 
future  cash  flows  to  be  made  in  respect  of  all  employees  at  the 
reporting  date.  In  determining  the  present  value  of  the  liability, 
estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and 
inflation have been taken into account. 

Lease make good provision 
A provision has been made for the present value of anticipated costs 
for  future  restoration  of  leased  premises.  The  provision  includes 
future cost estimates associated with closure of the premises. The 
calculation  of  this  provision  requires  assumptions  such  as 
application  of  closure  dates  and  cost  estimates.  The  provision 
recognised for each site is periodically reviewed and updated based 
on the facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes to the 
estimated future costs for sites are recognised in the statement of 
financial  position  by  adjusting  the  asset  and  the  provision. 
Reductions in the provision that exceed the carrying amount of the 
asset will be recognised in profit or loss.

The consolidated entity operates under a single operating segment selling software and services relating 

to information management, sharing and collaboration. The internal report for the segment is reviewed 

and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in 

assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. 

The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in 

the financial statements. 

The information reported to the CODM is on a monthly basis.

Note 12. Intangible assets 

The proportion of product design and development expenses, less any tax incentive applicable, that create 
a  benefit  in  future  years,  and  meet  certain  requirements  are  capitalised  as  an  intangible  asset.  These 
capitalised costs (intangibles) are then amortised to the Profit and Loss Statement over the estimated life 
of the asset created. The carrying value of intangibles is reviewed for impairment whenever events indicate 
that the carrying value may not be recoverable. 

Intangible assets recognised 

The main intangible assets recognised during the financial period were for internally generated computer 
software and technology/ in-progress development. 

Consolidated 

Internally-generated software 

Internally-generated software development costs qualify for capitalisation when the consolidated entity can 
demonstrate all of the following: 

•
•
•
•
•

•

the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
its ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
that the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and
to use or sell the intangible asset; and
the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset can be reliably measured during development.

Internally-generated software development costs have a finite useful life and are amortised on a straight-
line basis over their estimated useful life. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed 
at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a 
prospective basis. 

The internally-generated software development assets have a useful life of five years and are amortised on 
a straight-line basis commencing from the time the assets are held ready for use. Costs are incurred after 
the general release of internally generated software or costs which are incurred to enhance existing products 
are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and included within research and development expense 
in the financial statements. 

Development in progress 

Research and development expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense 
when incurred.  

Development  costs  are  capitalised  only  when  technical  feasibility  studies  identify  that  the  project  is 
expected to deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably. The consolidated 
entity assesses the eligibility of development costs for capitalisation on a project-by-project basis.  

Development costs capitalised are assessed annually for impairment. Costs capitalised to a project that is 
unlikely to deliver future economic benefits are recognised as an expense at the date of impairment.

The recoverable amount of the consolidated entity’s Intangible Assets has been determined by a value-in-use 
calculation using a discounted cash flow model, based on a 5-year projection period approved by 
management. The key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating 
units is most sensitive.  

The following key assumptions were used in the discounted cash flow model for the new products: 

•

•

14.6% post-tax discount rate.  This discount rate reflects management’s estimate of the time value of
money and the entity’s weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the product, the risk-free rate and 
the volatility of the share price relative to market movements;
Projected revenue growth rate based on current sales pipeline, projected sales through current reseller 
partners, sales through new partnerships with resellers and increased users with existing customers;
• Management has performed a thorough line-by-line review of the current sales pipeline and then taken
a  conservative  estimate  of  sales,  projected  sales  through  current  and  new  reseller  partners,  and
estimated increase in users with existing customers;
Annual retention (renewals) rate of 90% for licensing and 100% for services;
4-20% per annum increase in operating costs and overheads; and,
A terminal value arrived at using a long-term company cash growth rate of 3.25% - in line with the
long-term inflation rate.

•
•
•

These assumptions were applied consistently to the consolidated entity’s two CGUs, Kojensi and NC Protect. 

Based on the above, no impairment charge has been applied to the internally generated software and 
development in progress or the Nucleus Cyber Inc cash generating unit as the discounted recoverable amount 
for the cash generating unit exceeds the carrying value of the intangibles.

Short-term employee benefits 
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the 
amount expected to be paid if the consolidated entity has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this 
amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably. 

Long-term employee benefits 
The consolidated entity’s net obligation in relation to long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit 
that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The benefit is calculated 
using expected future increases in salaries including related on-costs and expected settlement dates and is 
discounted to present value at the reporting date.

There is no current on-market share buy-back. 

Capital risk management 
The consolidated entity’s objectives are to prudently manage capital so as to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide 
returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of 
capital. 

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as 
total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

Note 24. Share-based payments 

PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee  rriigghhttss 
Under the long-term incentive plan, performance rights are offered to participants which entitle the holder to ordinary 
shares  in  the  company  subject  to  meeting  certain  financial  performance  hurdles  and  the  holder  remaining  in 
employment with the company until the nominated vesting date. 

The performance hurdles in relation to performance rights granted in the 2023 financial year are subject to financial 
performance conditions which measure growth in revenue, annual recurring revenue and containment of operating 
costs. The performance hurdles are challenging but achievable and focus executives on sales growth consistent with 
shareholder wealth creation.  

This reserve is used to recognise equity-settled share-based payments to certain suppliers, directors and employees. Under 

AASB 2, options and performance rights granted are measured at fair value at the date of the grant, using a Binomial valuation. 

The valuation of each tranche of options and performance rights granted is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting 

The long-term incentive plan runs over a two-year performance period and the rights will only vest if the performance 
hurdles are achieved. If the vesting conditions and performance hurdles are achieved, ordinary shares will be issued 
to the participants at no cost. If the performance hurdles are not met, then the rights lapse. 

For  performance  rights  granted  to  executives  for  the  2023  financial  year,  the  vesting  proportions  based  on  the 
performance hurdles outlined in the Notice of Annual General Meeting announced 5 September 2022 (Schedule 4) are 
outlined in the table below.

Under  the  long-term  incentive  plan, tenure  options  are  offered  to  participants  which  entitle  the  holder to  purchase 
ordinary shares in the company subject to remaining in employment with the company until the nominated vesting 
dates. 

The long-term incentive plan runs over a three-year performance period. If the vesting conditions are achieved, the 
employee can exercise the vested options. Ordinary shares will be issued to the participants at an exercise price of 
$0.1428 per option. 

The Tenure Options expire on 6 March 2026.

The  grant  date  fair  value  of  performance  rights  granted  to  employees  is  recognised  as  an  employee  benefits  expense,  with  a 
corresponding increase in equity (share-based payment reserve), over the specified two-year period that the performance rights 
vest. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of performance rights for which the related 
service and performance hurdles are met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of 
performance rights that meet the related service and performance conditions at the vesting date. 

The  grant  date  fair  value  of  tenure  options  granted  to  employees  is  recognised  as  an  employee  benefits  expense,  with  a 
corresponding increase in equity (share-based payment reserve), over the specified three-year period that the tenure options vest.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
30 JUNE 2023 

Note 27. Financial instruments 

The consolidated entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity 
risk.  The  consolidated  entity's  overall  risk  management  program  focuses  on  the  unpredictability  of  financial 
markets  and  seeks  to  minimise  potential  adverse  effects  on  the  financial  performance  of  the  consolidated 
entity. The consolidated entity uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. 
These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate and foreign exchange risks and ageing 
analysis for credit risk. 

Risk management is carried out under policies approved by the Board of Directors ('the Board'). These policies 
include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the consolidated entity and appropriate procedures, 
controls and risk limits. 

MMaarrkkeett  rriisskk  
Foreign exchange risk 
The consolidated entity is not exposed to any significant foreign exchange risk. 

Price risk 
The consolidated entity is not exposed to any significant price risk. 

Interest rate risk 
The  consolidated  entity's  main  interest  rate  risk  arises  from  short-term  borrowings.  Borrowings  obtained  at 
variable rates expose the consolidated entity to interest rate risk. 

CCrreeddiitt  rriisskk 

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial 
loss to the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity has a strict code of credit. The consolidated entity has 
adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables using fixed 
rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative across all customers of the 
consolidated  entity  based  on  recent  sales  experience,  historical  collection  rates  and  forward-looking 
information that is available. There are no guarantees against any receivable but management closely monitors 
the receivable balance on a monthly basis and is in regular contact with customers to mitigate risk. 

Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of 
this include the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to 
make contractual payments for a period greater than 1 year. 

LLiiqquuiiddiittyy  rriisskk 
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the consolidated entity maintains sufficient liquid assets to pay debts as 
and when they become due and payable. The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining 
adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring actual and forecast 
cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 
TO THE MEMBERS OF  
archTIS LIMITED 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of archTIS Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which 
comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023, the consolidated statement of profit 
and loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated 
statement of cash flow for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of 
significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.  

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
including:  

i. 

giving  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  Group's  financial  position  as  at  30 June  2023  and  of  its  financial 
performance for the year then ended; and  

ii. 

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.  

Basis for Opinion 

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  Australian  Auditing  Standards.  Our  responsibilities  under  those 
standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of 
our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's 
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial 
report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to 
the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's 
report. 

We  believe  that  the  audit  evidence  we  have  obtained  is  sufficient  and  appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our 
opinion.

Key Audit Matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of 
the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial 
report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.  
We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. 

Capitalisation of assets, including useful lives, amortisation and impairment 
Refer to Note 12 in the financial statements 
There are a number of areas where judgments 
significantly impact the carrying value of intangible 
assets, and their respective amortisation profile. 
These areas are as follows: 

policies, as per AASB 138. 

Our audit procedures included the following:  
•  Evaluated the appropriateness of capitalisation 

• 

• 

• 

the decision to capitalise or expense costs, 
as per AASB 138 Intangible Assets; 

the annual asset life and impairment review, 
as per AASB 136 Impairment of Assets; and 

significant changes that have taken place 
during the period or are expected to take 
place in the near future, which will impact the 
extent to which, or manner in which, an asset 
is used or is expected to be used. 

Changes in these judgments have a significant 
impact on the results of the Group. Accordingly, this 
was considered a key audit matter. 

Disclosures relating to the capitalisation and 
impairment of assets can be found at Notes 1(q), 
1(r), 2 and 12. 

•  Tested a sample of costs capitalised to 
determine whether capitalisation was 
appropriate.  

•  Evaluated the reasonableness of management’s 

assessment of expected future economic 
benefits that are attributable to the intangible 
assets. 

We assessed the application of the Group’s annual 
asset life review. This included the judgments made 
by the Group on: 
• 

the appropriateness of assets lives applied in the 
calculation of amortisation. 

Our audit procedures in relation to management's 
assessment of impairment included: 
•  Evaluating the valuation methodology used. 
•  Evaluating the reasonableness of key 

assumptions including the cashflow forecasts, 
revenue growth rates, discount rates and other 
inputs used in the model.  

We evaluated the adequacy of disclosures included 
in Notes 1(q), 1(r), 2 and 12. 

Other Information  

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included 
in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2023, but does not include the financial report and the 
auditor's report thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing 
so, consider whether the  other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge 
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

If,  based  on  the  work  we  have  performed,  we  conclude  that  there  is  a  material  misstatement  of  this  other 
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
