Dicker Data Limited | Annual Report 2012

CEO Commentary

for the year ended 30 June 2012

Welcome to our second Annual Report as a public company. 

Our results for this year, with revenue of $457m and net profi t after tax of $8.3m show a very 
solid improvement from last year. The economic conditions have probably been more diffi cult 
but the tremendous performance by our employees and management team have allowed us to 
improve on the previous year. Despite the diffi cult economic conditions the results are our best 
ever reported, refl ecting consistent strong performance.

As at 15th August 2012 our shares were trading at 45 cents, up from the IPO fi gure of 20 cents. 
We are also adding 5,000 square metres to our existing warehouse of 4,000 square metres. 

All good and all auguring well for the future.

However despite the results, we continue to struggle with the majority of the analyst community. 
I am constantly told that our dividends are too high, we do not have ‘independent’ directors and 
there are not enough shares with the public. Rather than discuss this in detail I will just say that 
our results speak loudly and that I am very comfortable with our strategies.

We expect to increase the public holding in DDR to 15% this year.

David Dicker
CEO and Chairman

Total revenue for the full year was $457m (2011 - $385m), an improvement of 18.5% on the same period last year. 
The strong revenue growth was primarily driven by the improved logistics capacity that the new purpose built 
warehouse provided, which was not available for the full period in the previous corresponding year. The company 
relocated to the new facility in November 2010. Revenue growth can also be attributed to growth in new vendors 
ASUS, Buffalo and Lenovo for which a full 12 months is not refl ected in the previous corresponding period. We 
were appointed distributor for these vendors during the latter half of the previous corresponding year or during 
this fi nancial year. We also managed to increase our market share with our existing vendors resulting in our highest 
annual revenue to date.

Gross profi t for the full year was $32m (2011: $26m) an increase of 23.6% which is refl ective of increased sales 
volume in the current year. The increase in gross profi t is also as a result of aligning our revenue with more 
profi table product lines and ceasing distribution of unprofi table vendors. This is in line with the company’s overall 
objective of constantly reviewing our vendor and product mix.

5. Signifi cant changes in the state of affairs
In December 2011, Dicker Data entered into a new banking relationship with St George Bank for a total facility 
amount of $56.8m, which included debtor fi nancing, asset fi nancing and other working capital facilities. The new 
facility has provided the company with greater fl exibility in funding our working capital requirements.

There were no other signifi cant changes in the state of affairs of the company during the year.

6. Signifi cant events after the balance date
In August the company entered into a contract to extend the current warehouse facility by an additional 5,000 square 
metres. This will more than double the existing warehouse capacity and sets the Company up for future growth. 
Construction should commence in September 2012 and the project is expected to be completed in 26 weeks. 
The construction will be fi nanced from the Company’s cash fl ows and drawing on existing funding already in place 
with St George Bank.

7. Likely developments and expected results
In the 2013 fi nancial year we will continue to focus on reviewing our vendor and supplier mix and adjust accordingly 
to meet current market conditions. Consequently, the objective will be long term profi tability for Dicker Data. 
Signifi cant focus will be placed on off-premise IT capabilities (datacentre and cloud strategies), which is anticipated 
will result in higher infrastructure, service and annuity revenues. The increased warehouse capacity will also position 
the Company for future growth and improvements in effi ciency.

Further information on likely developments in the operations of the company and the expected results of operations has not 
been included in this report because the directors believe it would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to 
the company.

8. Directors

date of this report. Directors were in offi ce for this entire period unless otherwise stated.

11. Remuneration report
All information in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 
2001. The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:

A  Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
B  Details of remuneration
C  Service agreements
D  Share-based compensation
E  Additional information

(A) Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
The board addresses remuneration policies and practices generally, and determines remuneration packages and other 
terms of employment for senior executives. Executive remuneration and other terms of employment are reviewed 
annually by the board having regard to performance against goals set at the start of the year and relevant comparative 
information. Remuneration packages are set at levels that are intended to attract and retain executives capable of 
managing the company’s operations, achieving the company’s strategic objectives, and increasing shareholder wealth.

Executives
The executive pay and reward framework includes the following components:

-  Base pay and benefi ts
-  Performance-related bonuses
-  Other remuneration such as superannuation.

The combination of these comprises the executive’s remuneration.

Base pay
Base pay is structured as a total employment cost package which may be delivered as a combination of cash and 
prescribed non-fi nancial benefi ts at the executive’s discretion. There are no guaranteed base pay increases included 
in any senior executives’ contracts.

Performance-related bonuses
Performance-related cash bonus entitlements are linked to the achievement of fi nancial and non-fi nancial 
objectives which are relevant to meeting the company’s business objectives. A major part of the bonus entitlement 
is determined by the actual performance against net profi t margin targets. Using a profi t target ensures variable 
reward is only available when value has been created for shareholders and when profi t is consistent with the 
business plan.

The executives’ cash bonus entitlements are assessed and paid monthly based on the actual performance against 
the relevant monthly profi t with reconciliation at the end of the fi nancial year against full-year actual profi t. The 
chairman and CEO is responsible for assessing whether an individual’s targets have been met

Non-executive directors
Fees and payments to non-executive directors refl ect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities 
of, the directors. The board determines remuneration of non-executive directors within the maximum amount 
approved by the shareholders from time to time. This maximum currently stands at $250,000 per annum in total for 
salary and fees, to be divided among the non-executive directors in such a proportion and manner as they agree. 
The Board does not currently have any independent directors. The only current non-executive director is Fiona 
Brown, who represents a major shareholder. No director fees have been received by Fiona Brown

(B) Details of remuneration
Compensation paid to key management personnel is set out below. Key management personnel include 
all directors of the company and executives who, in the opinion of the board and CEO, have authority and 
responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the group directly or indirectly. The following 
also includes the four most highly remunerated executives of the company.

The board of directors has considered the position and is satisfi ed that the provision of the non-audit services is

The directors are satisfi ed that the provision of non-audit services by the auditor (refer above) did not compromise 
the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

-  all non-audit services have been reviewed by the board of directors to ensure they do not impact the 

impartiality and objectivity of the auditor

-  none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in 

APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants.

A copy of the auditors’ independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is 
set out on page 47.

This report is made in accordance with a resolution of the directors.

CEO and Chairman
Sydney, 31 August 2012

12  Dicker Data Limited | Annual Report 2012

Corporate Governance Statement

for the year ended 30 June 2012

Unless disclosed below, all the best practice 
recommendations of the ASX Corporate Governance 
Council have been applied by Dicker Data Limited 
(Dicker Data or Company).

Principal 1: Lay Solid Foundations for 
Management and Oversight

Recommendation 1.1: 
Companies should establish the functions reserved to 
the Board and those delegated to senior executives 
and disclose those functions.

The Board is accountable to shareholders for the 
performance of Dicker Data and has overall responsibility 
for its direction and management and the formulation of 
policies to be applied in Dicker Data’s business.

The Board has adopted a Charter which outlines 
the responsibilities reserved for the Board in detail. 
This Charter is published on Dicker Data’s website 
ww.dickerdata.com.au.

Some key responsibilities of the Board are as follows:

(a)   appoint and review the performance of the 

Chairman and management; 

(b)   develop and approve strategy, planning and 

major capital expenditure; 

(c)   arrange for effective budgeting and 

fi nancial supervision;

(d)   ensure that appropriate audit arrangements 

are in place;

(e)   ensure that effective and appropriate reporting 

systems in place will, in particular, assure the Board 
that proper fi nancial, operational, compliance and 
risk management controls function adequately; and

(f )   report to shareholders.

The Board is also responsible to shareholders for Dicker 
Data’s strategic direction and the execution of Dicker 
Data’s overall objective, which is to increase long-term 
shareholder value.

Decisions which are not part of the day to day 
management of Dicker Data or which have not been 
delegated to the Chief Executive Offi cer or executive 
team, must be made by the Board.

Recommendation 1.2: 
Companies should disclose the process for evaluating 
the performance of senior executives.

The Board is responsible for reviewing the performance 
of the Chief Executive Offi cer and also monitoring the 

performance of key management personnel. 

The performance of the Chief Executive Offi cer 
is measured by comparing actual performance 
against planned performance in terms of the 
budget, the Company’s share price and Corporate 
strategy development.

The Chief Executive Offi cer is responsible for assessing 
the performance of the key executives within Dicker 
Data. The basis of evaluation of senior executives is 
on agreed performance measures, examining the 
effectiveness and quality of the individual, assessing 
key contributions, identifying areas of potential 
improvement and assessing whether various 
expectations of shareholders have been met.

Performance evaluations are undertaken annually, in 
September, by managers.

This policy is reviewed annually.

Principal 2: Structure the Board to 
Add Value

Recommendation 2.1: 
A majority of the board should be independent directors.

As at the reporting date, the Board is composed 
of the following fi ve Directors, including one 
non-executive Director:

Name 
David Dicker 

Position
 Chairman and 
Chief Executive Offi cer

Fiona Brown 

Non-Executive Director 

Mary Stojcevski 

Executive Director 

Chris Price 
Michael Demetre 

Executive Director 
Executive Director

When considering independence, Dicker Data 
considered the following recommendation made by 
the ASX Corporate Governance Council:

‘When determining the independent status of a director 
the board should consider whether the director:

1.   is a substantial shareholder of the company or an 
offi cer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a 
substantial shareholder of the company;

2.   is employed, or has previously been employed in 
an executive capacity by the company or another 
group member, and there has not been a period 
of at least three years between ceasing such 
employment and serving on the board;

Dicker Data Limited | Annual Report 2012

13

Corporate Governance Statement

for the year ended 30 June 2012

3.   has within the last three years been a principal 
of a material professional adviser or a material 
consultant to the company or another group 
member, or an employee materially associated with 
the service provided;

4.   is a material supplier or customer of the company 

or other group member, or an offi cer of or 
otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a 
material supplier or customer; or

5.   has a material contractual relationship with the 

company or another group member other than as 
a director.’

The Chief Executive Offi cer is a substantial shareholder 
of Dicker Data and has been engaged by Dicker Data 
on a consultancy basis. He is not considered to 
be independent.

Three of the Directors are employed by Dicker Data 
and are not considered to be independent.

Fiona Brown, the non-executive Director, is a 
substantial shareholder of Dicker Data and is not 
considered to be independent.

As such, there are currently no independent Directors 
on the Board. The Board considers that its composition 
is appropriate to Dicker Data’s size and operational 
structure, the directors’ experience and their collective 
knowledge of Dicker Data’s assets. Details on the skills, 
experience and expertise of each director in offi ce are 
outlined on page 7 of the Annual Report.

Should the Directors determine to expand the Board 
by the appointment of one or more non- executive 
Directors, such non-executive Directors will be selected 
on the basis of their capacity to add value to the 
business, and to provide independent governance 
to the operations of Dicker Data. At this stage, the 
Board has made no offers to any person to join the 
Board. Expansion of the Board is subject to various 
contingencies including some over which the Board has 
no control, including but not limited to the availability 
of suitably qualifi ed and experienced individuals with a 
desire to join the Board.

The Board has chosen not to undertake an annual 
review of its performance and composition during the 
year ended 30 June 2012. This is due to the fact that the 
Board has only been existence since listing on the ASX in 
January 2011 and the operations of the business do not 
require additional skillsets at this point in time to drive 

the business and shareholder returns. As the business 
evolves, the Board expects to conduct a review of its 
performance and composition, to ensure that it has the 
appropriate mix of expertise and experience, taking into 
account the size and nature of Dicker Data’s activities. 
In time, the Board may consider the appointment of 
independent directors as it deems appropriate.

Directors may obtain independent professional advice 
at the Company’s expense, subject to prior approval 
by the Chairman, on matters arising in the course of 
Dicker Data’s business. Directors also have unrestricted 
access to any employees of Dicker Data and, subject 
to the law, access to all Dicker Data records and 
information held by employees and external advisers.

Recommendation 2.2: 
The chairperson should be an independent director.

The current Chairman of the Board is not an 
independent Director. The Board considers this to be 
appropriate to Dicker Data’s size, structure, history of 
the business and the nature of its activities.

Recommendation 2.3: 
The roles of chairperson and chief executive offi cer 
should not be exercised by the same individual.

The roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Offi cer are 
currently being carried out by the same individual. 
The Board considers this to be appropriate for the 
Company’s current operational structure and the 
nature of its activities.

Recommendation 2.4: 
The board should establish a nomination committee.

The Board does not currently have a nomination 
committee. The Board considers that its relatively small 
size and the expertise of its directors allow the full 
Board to perform a nomination committee function. 
Accordingly, the Board does not consider it necessary 
or appropriate in the context to establish a separate 
committee for this purpose.

Recommendations of candidates for new Directors are 
to be made to and by the Board. The Board as a whole 
must make such appointments as it considers the most 
appropriate for Dicker Data.

The Board believes that the requirements and 
nomination processes are currently appropriate for 
the Company. The Board will establish a nomination 
committee in the future should the requirement arise.

Corporate Governance Statement

for the year ended 30 June 2012

Recommendation 2.5: 
Companies should disclose the process for evaluating 
the performance of the board, its committees and 
individual directors.

The Board does not currently undertake an assessment 
of individual performance of Directors in the Board 
context, or of the Board as a whole. For the reasons 
outlined above, the Board is of the view that it is 
currently of the appropriate size and composition 
required to carry out its role. 

There are currently no committees of the Board which 
require a review.

The Board acknowledges the benefi t of establishing 
a process to review and evaluate the performance of 
individual Directors and the Board as a whole, and due 
consideration will be given to this in the next 12 months.

It is anticipated that such an annual review will include 
consideration of the following measures:
(a)  assessment of the performance of the Board over 
the previous twelve months having regard to the 
corporate strategies, operating plans and the 
annual budget;

(b) review the Board’s interaction with management;
(c)   identifi cation of any particular goals and objectives 

of the Board for the next year;

(d)  review the type and timing of information provided 

to the Directors; and

(e)  identifi cation of any necessary or desirable 

improvements to Board.

The method and scope of the performance evaluation 
will be set by the Board and may include a Board self-
assessment checklist to be completed by each Director. 
The Board may also use an independent adviser to 
assist in the review.

Committees
Similar procedures to those for the Board review will 
be applied to evaluate the performance of any Board 
committees established by Dicker Data in the future. 
An assessment will be made of the performance 
of each committee against each charter and areas 
identifi ed where improvements can be made.

Non-executive Directors
The Chairman will have primary responsibility for 
conducting performance appraisals of non-executive 
Directors in conjunction with them, having particular 
regard to:

(a)  contribution to Board discussion and function;
(b)  degree of independence including any confl icts 

of interest;

(c)   availability for and attendance at Board meetings 

and other relevant events;

(d) contribution to Company strategy;
(e)  membership of and contribution to any Board 

committees; and

(f )  suitability to Board structure and composition.

Where the Chairman, following a performance 
appraisal, considers that action must be taken in 
relation to a Director’s performance, the Chairman 
will consult with the remainder of the Board regarding 
whether a Director should be counselled to resign, 
not seek re-election, or in exceptional circumstances, 
whether a resolution for the removal of a Director be 
put to shareholders.

Principal 3: Promote ethical and 
responsible decision making

Recommendation 3.1: 
Companies should establish a code of conduct and 
disclose the code or a summary of the code as to:

• 

• 

• 

 The practices necessary to maintain confi dence in 
the company’s integrity

 The practices necessary to take into account their 
legal obligations and the reasonable expectations of 
their stakeholders

 The responsibility and accountability of individuals 
for reporting and investigating reports of unethical 
practices.

Dicker Data has two codes of conduct – one specifi cally 
for directors and key offi cers and another outlining the 
obligation to stakeholders.

Generally, Dicker Data requires that its Directors, 
management and staff comply with and respect the 
law, conduct themselves professionally and commit to 
the standards of employment set down by Dicker Data. 
Dicker Data also requires that all potential confl icts of 
interest are reported and that it’s Code of Conduct for 
Dicker Data’s obligations to Stakeholders and Code of 
Conduct for directors and key offi cers be otherwise 
complied with.

Corporate Governance Statement

for the year ended 30 June 2012

Recommendation 3.2: 
Companies should establish a policy concerning 
diversity and disclose the policy or a summary of 
that policy. The policy should include requirements 
for the board to establish measurable objectives 
for achieving gender diversity and for the board to 
assess annually both the objectives and progress in 
achieving them.

The company has not adopted a formal Diversity Policy 
at this stage. The Board will consider how appropriate 
such a policy is for the Company in due course. 
Currently, the Board does not consider a formal policy 
to be warranted as the Company is one which has an 
open policy to diversity, including gender diversity. This 
is evident in the number of females to males in the 
whole organization, at management level and also on 
the Board.

Recommendation 3.3: 
Companies should disclose in each annual report the 
measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity 
set by the board in accordance with the diversity 
policy and progress towards achieving them.

The Board has not set any specifi c gender diversity 
objectives for the Company as it does not yet have 
a formal Diversity Policy. The Board is of the view 
that there is an adequate balance between genders 
across the business and the numbers disclosed below 
refl ect this.

Recommendation 3.4: 
Companies should disclose in each annual report 
the proportion of women employees in the whole 
organisation, women in senior executive positions 
and women on the board.

The Company employs the following ratio of women to 
men throughout the organisation:

Organisation-wide:
37 Females (40%): 56 Males (60%)

Senior Executive Positions:
The Board of Directors: 2 Females: 3 Males

Principal 4: Safeguard integrity in 
fi nancial reporting

Recommendation 4.1: 
The board should establish an audit committee.

The Board considers that its relatively small size and 

the expertise of existing directors allows the full Board 
to perform an audit committee function.

Accordingly, the Board does not consider it necessary 
or appropriate in the context to establish a separate 
committee for this purpose.

Rather, the Board will have processes and procedures 
in place which will address the issues that would 
otherwise be considered by the audit committee 
including:

• 

• 

 monitoring the independence of the external auditor 
who is required to confi rm such independence on 
at least a semi-annual basis; and

 monitoring and the performance and terms of the 
audit engagement on an annual basis and updating, 
changing or replacing them as appropriate.

The Board will review the audit requirements and 
processes of Dicker Data at least on an annual basis, 
and otherwise as Dicker Data’s operations evolve, 
to ensure that its audit requirements are being 
appropriately handled. The Board will establish an 
Audit Committee in the future as it deems appropriate.

Recommendation 4.2: 
Structure the audit committee so that it consists of:

-  only non-executive directors
-  a majority of independent directors
- 

 an independent chairperson, who is not 
chairperson of the board

-  at least three members
For the reasons noted above and due to the relative 
size and nature of Dicker Data’s activities, the Board 
does not consider it necessary or appropriate to 
adopt Recommendation 4.2. However, should an 
Audit Committee be established in the future, it will 
be structured to be commercially cost effective and 
appropriate to Dicker Data’s size and structure, having 
regard to Recommendation 4.2.

Recommendation 4.3: 
The audit committee should have a formal charter.

For the reasons noted above and due to the relative 
size and nature of Dicker Data’s activities, the Board 
does not consider it necessary or appropriate to adopt 
Recommendation 4.3. However, should an Audit 
Committee be established in the future, a formal Audit 
Committee Charter will be adopted in compliance with 
Recommendation 4.3.

for the year ended 30 June 2012

Principal 5: Make timely and 
balanced disclosure

Recommendation 5.1: 
Companies should establish written policies designed 
to ensure compliance with ASX Listing Rule disclosure 
requirements and to ensure accountability at a senior 
management level for that compliance and disclose 
those policies or a summary of those policies.

The Board aims to ensure that the market is properly 
informed of all the information that is required to 
be disclosed under the Listing Rules of the ASX. The 
ultimate determination as to whether or not to disclose 
in doubtful cases may be made by the Board and/or 
the Chairman, taking into account the overall situation 
of Dicker Data and, if necessary, legal or other advice.

The Board will consider establishing a Continuous 
Disclosure Compliance Committee to deal with 
continuous disclosure issues when and if it is deemed 
necessary. In this event, the Continuous Disclosure 
Compliance Committee will consist of the Chairman, 
the Company Secretary and, where available, any 
other Director.

Dicker Data has adopted a formal Continuous 
Disclosure Policy which is available on the company 
website on www.dickerdata.com.au.

Under the Board’s Continuous Disclosure Policy, all 
senior personnel must ensure that all reporting staff 
report any material event or development within their 
area of responsibility to their manager and to one or 
more of the Chairman and the Company Secretary.

The Company Secretary is the point of contact with the 
ASX. As a listed company, Dicker Data will not release 
information that is for release to the market to any 
person until it has given the information to the ASX 
and has received an acknowledgement from the ASX 
that the information has been released to the market.

Principal 6: Respect the Rights 
of Shareholders

Recommendation 6.1: 
Companies should design a communications 
policy for promoting effective communication with 
shareholders and encouraging their participation 
at general meetings and disclose their policy or a 
summary of that policy.

Dicker Data aims to convey to its shareholders 
pertinent information in a detailed, regular, factual and 
timely manner.

The Board has ensured that the annual report includes 
relevant information about the operations of Dicker 
Data during the year, and changes in the state of affairs 
of Dicker Data, in addition to the other disclosures 
required by the Corporations Act.

Information will be communicated to shareholders by 
Dicker Data through:

1.   Placement of market announcements on Dicker 
Data’s web-site www.dickerdata.com.au after the 
information has been given to the ASX and the 
usual acknowledgement has been received;

2.   The annual and interim fi nancial reports;

3.   Disclosures to the ASX;

4.   Notices and explanatory memoranda of annual 

general meetings; and

5.   All shareholders are invited to attend and raise 

questions at the annual general meeting.

All shareholders are welcome to communicate directly 
with Dicker Data.

All queries will be answered to the maximum extent 
possible (with consideration given to commercially 
sensitive information, privacy requirements and Dicker 
Data’s disclosure obligations) and in a timely fashion.

Dicker Data has not established any other formal policy 
document other than as noted above.

Principle 7: Recognise and Manage Risk

Recommendation 7.1: 
Companies should establish policies for the oversight 
and management and management of material 
business risks and disclose a summary of those policies.

Although no formal policy has been adopted, 
the Board is committed to ensuring that the risks 
associated with Dicker Data’s business activities are 
properly identifi ed, monitored and managed and to 
embedding in its management and reporting systems 
a number of risk management controls.

The Board is to monitor and receive advice on areas of 
operational and fi nancial risk, and consider strategies 
for appropriate risk management arrangements.

Specifi c areas of risk to be regularly considered at 
Board meetings are to include intellectual property, 
changes in government regulation, technology 
changes, human resources, integrity of data, statutory 
compliance and continuous disclosure obligations. 

Dicker Data Limited | Annual Report 2012

Corporate Governance Statement

for the year ended 30 June 2012

Recommendation 7.2: 
The board should require management to design and 
implement the risk management and internal control 
system to manage the company’s material business 
risks and report to it on whether those risks are being 
managed effectively. The board should disclose that 
management has reported to it as to the effectiveness 
of the company’s management of its material 
business risks.

The fi nancial statements and notes thereto give a true 
and fair view, in all material respects, of the fi nancial 
position and performance of the company as required 
by Section 297 of the Corporations Act 2001; and

Any other matters are prescribed by the regulations 
in relation to the fi nancial statements and the 
accompanying notes are satisfi ed.

The Chief Executive Offi cer manages Dicker Data’s 
material business risks and reports to the Board.

Principle 8: Remunerate Fairly 
and Responsibly

Materiality thresholds
Dicker Data regularly reviews procedures, and ensures 
timely identifi cation of material information and 
materiality thresholds.

Materiality judgments can only be made on a case 
by case basis, when all the facts are available. In 
accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 1031, the 
Board would consider an amount which is:

(a)  equal or more than 10% of an appropriate base 

amount to be material unless there is evidence or 
convincing argument to the contrary; and

(b)  equal to or less than 5% of an appropriate base 

amount to be immaterial unless there is evidence or 
convincing argument to the contrary.

The level between 5% and 10% of an appropriate base 
amount is considered to be a subjective area to be 
resolved by the Board.

Recommendation 7.3: 
The board should disclose whether it has received 
assurance from the chief executive offi cer (or equivalent) 
and the chief fi nancial offi cer (or equivalent) that the 
declaration provided in accordance with section 295A 
of the Corporations Act is founded on a sound system 
of risk management and internal control and that the 
system is operating effectively in all material respects in 
relation to fi nancial reporting risks.

Recommendation 8.1: 
The board should establish a remuneration committee.

The Board considers that its relatively small size and 
the expertise of directors allows the full Board to 
also perform a remuneration committee function. 
Accordingly, the Board does not consider it necessary 
or appropriate in the context to establish a separate 
committee for this purpose. Rather, the Board will have 
processes and procedures in place which will address 
the issues that would otherwise be considered by the 
remuneration committee including ensuring that fees 
and remuneration to director’s accord with principles 
set out in 8.2 below.

Recommendation 8.2: 
The remuneration committee should be structured so 
that it:

-  consists of a majority of independent directors
- 
-  has at least three members

is chaired by an independent chair

The Board will establish a remuneration committee in 
the future if it deems appropriate.

Recommendation 8.3:
Companies should clearly distinguish the structure of 
non-executive directors’ remuneration from that of 
executive directors and senior executives.

The Board confi rms that the Chief Executive Offi cer and 
the Chief Financial Offi cer have made the following 
certifi cations to the Board:

With respect to non-executive Directors, the Board 
(or if established, the Remuneration Committee) is to 
ensure that:

The fi nancial records of the company have been 
properly maintained in accordance with Section 286 of 
the Corporations Act 2001;

The fi nancial statements and notes thereto comply 
with the relevant accounting standards in all 
material respects as required by Section 296 of the 
Corporations Act 2001;

(a)  fees paid to non-executive Directors are within the 
aggregate amount approved by shareholders and 
make recommendations to the Board with respect to 
the need for increases to that aggregate amount at 
the Annual General Meeting;

(b)  non-executive Directors are remunerated by 
way of fees (in the form of cash and/or 
superannuation benefi ts);

18  Dicker Data Limited | Annual Report 2012

Corporate Governance Statement

for the year ended 30 June 2012

(c)   non-executive Directors are not provided 

with retirement benefi ts other than statutory 
superannuation entitlements; and

(d)  non-executive Directors are not entitled to 

participate in equity-based remuneration schemes 
designed for executives without due consideration 
and appropriate disclosure to Dicker Data’s 
shareholders.

There is currently only one non-executive director on 
the Board of Dicker Data, Fiona Brown and she does 
not receive any remuneration for her role.

With respect to executives, the Board (or if established, 
the Remuneration Committee) is to ensure that:

(a)   executive remuneration packages involve a balance 

between fi xed and incentive pay, refl ecting short and 
long term performance objectives appropriate to 
Dicker Data’s circumstances and objectives;

(b)  a portion of executives’ remuneration is structured in 
a manner designed to link reward to corporate and 
individual performances; and

(c)   recommendations are made to the Board with respect 
to quantum of bonuses to be paid to executives.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2012

The fi nancial statements cover Dicker Data Limited 
(Dicker Data) as an individual entity. Dicker Data is a 
listed public Company incorporated and domiciled 
in Australia. 

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation
The fi nancial report is a general purpose fi nancial 
report that has been prepared in accordance with 
Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian 
Accounting Interpretations) of the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 
2001, as appropriate for profi t oriented entities.

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting 
policies that the AASB has concluded would result 
in a fi nancial report containing relevant and reliable 
information about transactions, events and conditions 
to which they apply. Compliance with Australian 
Accounting Standards ensures that the fi nancial 
statements and notes also comply with International 
Financial Reporting Standards.

Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation 
of this fi nancial report are presented below. They have 
been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

The fi nancial report has been prepared on an accruals 
basis and is based on historical costs modifi ed by the 
revaluation of selected non-current assets, and fi nancial 
assets and fi nancial liabilities for which the fair value 
basis of accounting has been applied. The fi nancial 
report is presented in Australian Dollars and was 
authorised for issue by the directors on 31 August 2012.

(a) Income Tax
Income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises 
current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax 
expense (income).

Current income tax expense charged to the profi t or 
loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated 
using applicable income tax rates enacted, or 
substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting 
period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore 
measured at the amounts expected to be paid to 
(recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is 
charged or credited outside profi t or loss when the tax 
relates to items that are recognised outside profi t or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based 
on temporary differences arising between the tax bases 
of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in 
the fi nancial statements. Deferred tax assets also result 
where amounts have been fully expensed but future 
tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax 
will be recognised from the initial recognition of an 
asset or liability where there is no effect on accounting 
or taxable profi t or loss.

Deferred income tax expense refl ects movements in 
deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balance 
during the year as well as unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the 
tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when 
the asset is realised or the liability settled, based on tax 
rates enacted or substantively enacted as at the end of 
the reporting period. Their measurement also refl ects 
the manner in which management expects to recover or 
settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences 
and unused tax losses are recognised only to the 
extent that it is probable that future taxable profi t will 
be available against which the benefi ts of the deferred 
tax asset can be utilised.

Where temporary differences exist in relation to 
investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and 
joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are 
not recognised where the timing of the reversal of 
the temporary difference can be controlled and it is 
not probable that the reversal will occur in the 
foreseeable future.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally 
enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that 
net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement 
of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax 
assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable 
right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities 
relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation 
authority on either the same taxable entity or different 
taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or 
simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective 
asset and liability will occur in future periods in which 
signifi cant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are 
expected to be recovered or settled.

(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, 
deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly 
liquid investments with original maturities of three 
months or less.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2012

(c) Trade Receivables
Trade receivables, which are non-interest bearing 
and generally due for settlement within 30 days from 
end of month, are recognised initially at fair value 
and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less 
an allowance for impairment. Collectability of trade 
receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts 
that are known to be uncollectable are written off by 
reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for 
impairment of trade receivables is raised when there is 
objective evidence that the Company will not be able 
to collect all amounts due according to original terms. 
Signifi cant fi nancial diffi culties of the debtor, probability 
that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or fi nancial 
reorganisation and default or delinquency in payments 
(more than 90 days overdue) are considered indicators 
that the trade receivable may be impaired. The amount 
of the impairment allowance is the difference between 
the asset’s carrying amount and the present value 
of the estimated future cash fl ows, discounted at the 
original effective interest rate.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, 
less any provision for impairment.

(d) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net 
realisable value. Costs are assigned to individual items 
of inventory on the basis of weighted average cost. 
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the 
ordinary course of business.

(e) Property, Plant and Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried 
at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated 
depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fi xed assets including 
buildings and capitalised leased assets, but excluding 
freehold land, are depreciated on a straight line basis over 
their estimated useful lives to the entity commencing from 
the time the asset is held ready for use.

The useful life in years used for each class of 
depreciable asset is:

Class of Fixed Asset 
Buildings 
Property Improvements 
Plant and equipment 
Motor vehicles 

Useful Life
25 years
10 – 20 years
2 - 10 years
8 years

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 disposals are determined by 
comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These 
gains or losses are included in the income statement. 
When re-valued assets are sold, amounts included 
in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are 
transferred to retained earnings.

(f) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired are initially recognised at 
cost. Intangible assets are subsequently measured at 
cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains 
and losses recognised in profi t or loss arising from 
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 fi nite life intangibles are 
reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern 
of consumption or useful life are accounted for 
prospectively by changing the amortisation method 
or period.

Website Design and Development
Signifi cant costs associated with the website design and 
development are deferred and amortised on a straight 
line basis over a period of its expected benefi t, being 
its fi nite life of 5 years. Amortisation of the asset is to 
commence when the website becomes fi rst available 
for use.

(g) Leases
Leases of fi xed assets, where substantially all the risks 
and benefi ts incidental to the ownership of the asset, 
but not the legal ownership are transferred to the 
company are classifi ed as fi nance leases. Finance leases 
are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at 
the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the 
leased property or the present value of the minimum 
lease payments, including any guaranteed residual 
values. Lease payments are allocated between the 
reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest 
expense for the period.

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight line basis 
over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the 
lease term.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2012

Lease payments for operating leases, where 
substantially all the risks and benefi ts remain with the 
lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which 
they are incurred.

(h) Financial Instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial instruments, incorporating fi nancial assets 
and fi nancial liabilities, are recognised when the entity 
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the 
instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for 
fi nancial assets that are delivered within timeframes 
established by marketplace convention.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value 
plus transactions costs. Where the instrument is classifi ed 
‘at fair value through profi t or loss’ transactions costs are 
expensed to profi t or loss immediately.

Classifi cation and subsequent measurement
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at 
either, fair value, amortised cost using the effective 
interest rate method or cost. Fair value represents the 
amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a 
liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. 
Where available, quoted prices in an active market are 
used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, 
valuation techniques are adopted.

Amortised cost is calculated as: (i) the amount at which 
the fi nancial asset or fi nancial liability is measured at 
initial recognition; (ii) less principal repayments; (iii) plus 
or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, 
if any, between the amount initially recognised and the 
maturity amount calculated using the effective interest 
method; and (iv) less any reduction of impairment.

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 cost and other premiums 
or discounts) through the expected life (or when this 
cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of 
the fi nancial instrument to the net carrying amount 
of the fi nancial asset or fi nancial liability. Revisions 
to expected future net cash fl ows will necessitate an 
adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential 
recognition of an income or expense in profi t or loss.

(i)  Financial assets at fair value through profi t or loss
Financial assets are classifi ed at ‘fair value through 
profi t or loss’ when they are either held for trading for 
the purpose of short term profi t taking. Such assets 

are subsequently measured at fair value with changes 
in carrying value being included in profi t or loss. The 
company has not held any fi nancial assets at fair value 
through profi t and loss in the current or comparative 
fi nancial year.

(ii)  Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative fi nancial 
assets with fi xed or determinable payments that are 
not quoted in an active market and are subsequently 
measured at amortised cost.

Loans and receivables are included in current assets, 
except for those which are not expected to mature 
within 12 months after the end of the reporting period, 
which will be classifi ed as non-current assets.

(iii) Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-
current assets, except for those which are expected to 
mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting 
period, which will be classifi ed as current assets.

If during the period the company sold or reclassifi ed 
more than an insignifi cant amount of the held-to-
maturity investments before maturity, the entire 
category of held-to-maturity investments would be 
tainted and would be reclassifi ed as available-for-sale.

(iv) Available-for-sale fi nancial assets
Available-for-sale fi nancial assets are included in non-
current assets, except for those which are expected to 
be disposed of within 12 months after the end of the 
reporting period, which will be classifi ed as current assets.

(v)  Financial liabilities
Non-derivative fi nancial liabilities (excluding fi nancial 
guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Fair value
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, reference to 
similar instruments and option pricing models.

Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, the company 
assesses whether there is objective evidence that a 
fi nancial instrument has been impaired. In the case of 
available-for-sale fi nancial instruments, a prolonged 
decline in the value of the instrument is considered 
to determine whether an impairment has arisen. 
Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of 
comprehensive income.

26  Dicker Data Limited | Annual Report 2012

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2012

(i) Impairment of assets
At the end of each reporting period, the company 
assesses whether there is any indication that an 
asset may be impaired. The assessment will include 
considering external sources of information and 
internal sources of information including dividends 
received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly 
controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition 
profi ts. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is 
carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable 
amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair 
value less costs to sell and value in use to the asset’s 
carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying 
value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the 
statement of comprehensive income.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable 
amount of an individual asset, the company estimates 
the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to 
which the asset belongs.

(j) Employee Benefi ts
Provision is made for the company’s liability for 
employee benefi ts arising from services rendered 
by employees to the end of the reporting period. 
Employee benefi ts 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 benefi ts payable later than one year have 
been measured at the present value of the estimated 
future cash outfl ows to be made for those benefi ts. 
In determining the liability, consideration is given to 
employee wage increases and the probability that 
the employee may not satisfy vesting requirements. 
Those cash fl ows are discounted using market yields on 
national government bonds with terms to maturity that 
match the expected timing of cash fl ows.

(k) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and 
services provided to the Company prior to the end of 
the fi nancial year and which are unpaid. Due to their 
short term nature they are measured at amortised cost 
and not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and 
are usually paid within 30 -60 days of recognition.

(l) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the company has a 
legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past 

events, for which it is probable that an outfl ow of 
economic benefi ts will result and that outfl ow can be 
reliably measured. 

Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the 
amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of 
the reporting period.

(m) Revenue and Other Income
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the 
consideration received or receivable.

Sale of goods revenue is recognised at the point of 
sale, which is where the customer has taken delivery of 
the goods, the risks and rewards are transferred to the 
customer and there is a valid sales contract. Amounts 
disclosed as revenue are net of sales returns. 

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues 
using the effective interest method. This is a method 
of calculating the amortised cost of a fi nancial 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 fi nancial asset to the 
net carrying amount of the fi nancial asset.

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

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

(n) Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, 
construction or production of assets that necessarily 
take a substantial period of time to prepare for their 
intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those 
assets, until such time as the assets are substantially 
ready for their intended use or sale. All other 
borrowing costs are recognised in expenses in the 
period in which they are incurred.

(o) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of 
the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST 
incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Offi ce. In these 
circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost 
of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the 
expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of 
fi nancial position are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash fl ows are presented in the Statement of Cash 

Dicker Data Limited | Annual Report 2012

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2012

Flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component 
of investing and fi nancing activities, which are disclosed 
as operating cash fl ows.

(p) Contributed Equity
Ordinary shares are classifi ed as equity. Incremental 
costs directly attributable to the issue of shares or 
options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax 
from proceeds.

(q) Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative 
fi gures have been adjusted to conform to changes in 
presentation for the current year.

(r)  Critical Accounting Estimates 

and Adjustments

The directors evaluate estimates and judgements 
incorporated into the fi nancial statements based 
on historical knowledge and best available current 
information. Estimates assume a reasonable 
expectation of future events and are based on current 
trends and economic data, obtained both externally 
and within the company.

The directors have identifi ed the following critical 
accounting policies for which signifi cant judgements, 
estimates and assumptions are made. Actual results may 
differ from these estimates under different assumptions 
and conditions and may materially affect the fi nancial 
results or the fi nancial position in future periods.

Further details on the nature of these assumptions and 
conditions are noted below:

Consumables Used
Cost of goods are represented in the Statement 
of Comprehensive Income net of supplier rebates. 
Supplier rebates can be paid monthly, quarterly or half 
yearly. At the end of the fi nancial year an estimate of 
rebates due, relating to the fi nancial year is accounted 
for based on best available information at the time of 
the rebate being paid.

Income tax
The company is subject to income taxes based on the 
income tax laws of Australia. Signifi cant 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 company 
recognises liabilities for anticipated tax expense based on 
its current understanding of the tax law. 

Recovery of deferred tax assets
Judgement is required in assessing whether certain 
deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are 
recognised on the Statement of Financial Position. 
Deferred tax assets including those arising from capital 
losses are recognised only when it is considered more 
likely than not that they will be recovered, which is 
dependent on the generation of future capital profi ts. 
An assumption has been made that it is unlikely that 
future capital profi ts will be earned.

Estimation of useful lives of assets
The company determines the estimated useful lives 
and related depreciation and amortisation charges 
for its property, plant and equipment and defi nite 
life intangible assets. The useful lives could change 
signifi cantly 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.

Long service leave provision
The liability for long service leave is recognised and 
measured at the present value of the estimated future 
cash fl ows to be made in respect of all employees at 
the reporting date.

Provision for impairment of receivables
The provision for impairment of receivables assessment 
requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The 
level of provision is assessed by taking into account 
the recent sales experience, the ageing of receivables, 
historical collection rates and specifi c knowledge of the 
individual debtors’ fi nancial position. The impairment 
for receivables has been calculated net of estimated 
insurance recoveries

Provision for impairment of inventories
The provision for impairment of inventories assessment 
requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The 
level of the provision is assessed by taking into account 
the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories 
and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence.

Share Option Reserve
The share option reserve represents fair value of 
options on grant date. Fair value is independently 
determined using Black-Scholes option pricing model 
that takes into account the exercise price, the term 
of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price 
at grant date and expected price volatility of the 
underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the 
risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

Past due but not impaired

The following table details the company’s trade receivables exposed to credit risk with ageing analysis and impairment 
provided for thereon. Amounts are considered as ‘past due’ when the debt has not been settled within the terms and 
conditions agreed between the company and the customer or counterparty to the transaction. Receivables that are past 
due are assessed for impairment by ascertaining solvency of the debtors and are provided for where there are specifi c 
circumstances indicating that the debt may not be fully repaid to the company.

Customers with balances past due but without provision for impairment of receivables amount to $4,495,729 as at 30 June 
2012 (2011: $2,140,523). The company did not consider a credit risk on these balances after reviewing credit terms of 
customers and trading history.

(b) Share Options

On the 9th of August 2011, Newport Capital Group Pty Ltd exercised 1,500,000 options at the strike price of $0.20c per 
share. The company has received the payment for the options and has issued the shares to Newport Capital Group Pty Ltd.
In the 2011 fi nancial year options were granted to Stonebridge Securities Ltd and related parties. The options granted were 
to acquire 1,200,000 fully paid ordinary shares, exercisable at $0.25 anytime within 36 months from the date of granting, 
expiring on 24 January, 2014. As at the date of this report these options have not been exercised.

(c) Capital Management

Management controls the capital of the company in order to maintain a good debt to equity ratio, provide the shareholders 
with adequate returns and to ensure that the company can fund its operations and continue as a going concern. The 
company’s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and fi nancial liabilities, supported by fi nancial assets.

Management effectively manage the company’s capital by assessing the company’s fi nancial risks and adjusting its capital 
structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of debt levels, 
distributions to shareholder and share issues. The Company announced in December 2011 a new dividend policy providing 
for quarterly dividends to be paid, with the aim to pay out dividends of up to 100% of underlying after tax profi ts from 
operations. In determining the amount of dividends management will take into account historical earnings of the Company, 
available free cash fl ow from trading and projected capital expenditure.

The share option reserve represents fair value of options on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using Black-
Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the 
share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free 
interest rate for the term of the option. The share option reserve has been adjusted for options exercised during the period.

for the year ended 30 June 2012

Financial Risk Management Policies
The directors’ overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the company in meeting its fi nancial targets, whilst minimising 
potential adverse effects on fi nancial performance.

Although the company does not have any documented policies and procedures, the key management personnel manage 
the different types of risks to which the company is exposed by considering risk and monitoring levels of exposure to interest 
rate and credit risk and by being aware of market forecasts for interest rates. Ageing analyses and monitoring of specifi c credit 
allowances are undertaken to manage credit risk. Liquidity risk is managed through general business budgets and forecasts.

The main purpose of non-derivative fi nancial instruments is to raise fi nance for company operations. The company does not 
have any derivative instruments at year end. The directors and key management personnel meet on a regular basis to analyse 
fi nancial risk exposure and to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions 
and forecasts.

Specifi c Financial Risk Exposures and Management
The main risks the company is exposed to through its fi nancial instruments are (a) credit risk (b) liquidity risk and (c) interest rate risk:

(a) Credit risk
Exposure to credit risk relating to fi nancial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract 
obligations that could lead to a fi nancial loss to the company.

Credit risk is reviewed regularly by the directors and key management personnel. It arises from exposures to customers, as well 
as through deposits with fi nancial institutions. The company’s exposure to credit risk is limited due to debtor insurance which 
is held over its trade receivables. The insurance policy limits the exposure of the company to 10% of the individual customer’s 
balance plus the excess as specifi ed in the policy after an aggregate fi rst loss of $200,000. Receivables balances are monitored 
on an ongoing basis with the result that the company’s exposure to bad debts has not been signifi cant.

It is the company’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verifi cation procedures 
including an assessment of their credit rating, fi nancial position, past experience and industry reputation. Credit limits are set 
for each individual customer in accordance with parameters set by the directors. These credit limits are regularly monitored. 
Customers that do not meet the company’s strict credit policies may only purchase in cash or using recognised credit cards.

Credit risk exposures
The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised fi nancial assets at balance date, excluding the value of any collateral 
or other security held, is equivalent to the carrying value and classifi cation of those fi nancial assets (net of any provisions) as 
presented in the statement of fi nancial position.

The company has no signifi cant concentration of credit risk with any single counterparty or group of counterparties.

Trade and other receivables that are neither past due or impaired are considered to be of high credit quality.

(b) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the company might encounter diffi culty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its 
obligations related to fi nancial liabilities. The company manages this risk through the following mechanisms:

-  preparing forward-looking cash fl ow analyses in relations to its operational,investing and fi nancing activities; 

-  monitoring undrawn credit facilities;

-  obtaining funding from a variety of sources; 

-  maintaining a reputable credit profi le; 

-  managing credit risk, related to fi nancial assets.

The tables below refl ect an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for fi nancial liabilities. Financial guarantee liabilities are 
treated as payable on demand since the company has no control over the timing of any potential settlement of the liability.

Cash fl ows realised from fi nancial instruments refl ect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may 
therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash fl ows presented in the table to settle fi nancial liabilities refl ect the earliest 
contractual settlement dates and do not refl ect management’s expectations that banking facilities will roll forward.

Financial assets pledged as collateral
Certain fi nancial assets have been pledged as security for the debt and their realisation into cash may be restricted subject to 
terms and conditions attached to the relevant debt contracts.

(c) Interest Rate Risk
The company’s main interest rate risk arises from borrowings.

All borrowings are at variable interest rates and expose the company to interest rate risk which will impact future cash fl ows and 
interest charges and is indicated by the following fl oating interest rate fi nancial liabilities:

Sensitivity Analysis
The company has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk at balance date. If interest rates 
changed by -/+ 1% from the year end rates with all other variables held constant, post tax profi t would have been $321,920 
lower/higher (2011: $191,720 lower/higher) as a result of higher/lower interest payments. The company constantly analyses 
its interest rate exposure. Within this analysis consideration is given to alternative fi nancing and the mix of fi xed and variable 
interest rates.

(c) Credit Stand-by Arrangement and Loan Facilities
In December 2011, Dicker Data entered into a new banking relationship with St George Bank for a total facility amount of 
$56.8m, which included debtor fi nancing, asset fi nancing and other working capital facilities. The new facility has provided the 
company with greater fl exibility in funding our working capital requirements. The unused limits of the facility as at balance date 
amounted to $9,335,000 (2011: $948,583).

26. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

As at 30 June 2012 a bank guarantee totalling $70,000 (2011: $nil) was provided to Sydney Water Corporation for works and 
adjustment to a Sydney Water asset at 230 Captain Cook Drive, Kurnell. The works have been completed, but the guarantee will 
remain in place until Sydney Water Corporation has reviewed all documents and inspected the adjusted asset.

27. EVENTS AFTER BALANCE DATE

In August the company entered into a contract to extend the current warehouse facility by an additional 5,000 square metres. 
This will more than double the existing warehouse capacity and sets the Company up for future growth. Construction should 
commence in September 2012 and the project is expected to be completed in 26 weeks. The construction will be fi nanced from 
the Company’s cash fl ows and drawing on existing funding already in place with St George Bank.

There is no other matter or circumstance that has arisen since 30 June 2012 that has signifi cantly affected, or may signifi cantly 
affect the Company’s operations, the results of those operations or the Company’s state of affairs in future fi nancial years.
