Dicker Data LimiteDceo & chAiRmAn’s commentARy

As promised in our H1 report, we 
exceeded last year’s results, and by 
almost $1m. nPAT was $9.2m vs $8.3m. 
Up 11.7%. in the current economic 
climate this is an outstanding result 
by everyone at Dicker Data.

Welcome to our third full year report as a public company. 
The last year has been a pretty difficult one, with 
economic conditions still subdued. As a result sales were 
slightly lower than the previous financial year. $451m vs 
$455m. Down less than 1 percent. 

However, as promised in our H1 report, we exceeded last 
year’s results, and by almost $1m. NPAT was $9.2m vs 
$8.3m. Up 11.7%. In the current economic climate this is 
an outstanding result by everyone at Dicker Data.

The year ahead still looks difficult, but there should be 
some improvement after the election. Despite relentless 
negativity in the media, I remain confident that conditions 
are not that bad and are steadily improving.

The share of our business with other Vendors had a 
pleasing increase delivering 40% of our revenue with 
HP providing the rest. We finally got access to HP’s 
printers and their supplies products. We now have the 
full HP range.

During the year we completed the addition of 5,000 
square meters of additional warehouse space, more than 
doubling our existing capacity. 

Our shares have been trading extremely well and closed 
at 90 cents on 28 June. As we listed at 20 cents, this is a 
very satisfying outcome, although we are still struggling 
to convince the analyst community.

thank you to all our customers for another very 
good year.

Total dividend paid for the year ended 30 June 2013 was 6.25c per share (2012: 5.36c), an increase of 16.6%. This 
represents a dividend payout ratio of 85.9% (2012: 81.9%) in line with the company’s dividend policy. Our dividend policy 
provides for fully franked dividends to be paid on a quarterly basis, with the aim to pay out 100% of the underlying after tax 
profits from operations after taking into account projected capital expenditure and cash requirements.

Revenue
Total revenue for the full year was $452m (2012: $456m), down by 0.9% on the same period last year. This was a solid 
result given the downturn in PC sales in SMB sectors impacting revenues from some of our key vendors. With most of the 
decline coming from HP Personal Services Group and Toshiba, this was significantly offset by increase in revenues from 
Lenovo (new vendor since June 2012) and strong education orders in second half of FY13, resulting in an increase year on 
year in revenue for the second half.

55

for	the	year	ended	30	June	2013AnnuAl RepoRt 2013DiRectoRs’ RepoRt continued

for	the	year	ended	30	June	2013

Operating revenue for the second half of FY13 was 
$238m, an increase of $4m year on year compared 
to second half of FY12, partly attributable to strong 
education orders and partly due to the increased 
capacity and improved logistic capability provided by 
the extension to our warehousing facility. As reported in 
our half year report the new warehouse extension was 
operational from February 2013.

Gross Profit
Gross profit for the full year was $37.4m (2012: $33.1m), 
an increase of 12.9%. In line with our continued strategy 
in aligning our revenue with more profitable product lines, 
the increase in gross profit can be attributed to a number 
of factors and changes implemented throughout the 
year. Firstly we were able to maximise vendor rebates 
by consistently meeting buying and sell through targets. 
There were also savings in freight as result of a review of 
freight costs and changes to our freight policy and in the 
second half of the year we were able to take advantage 
of additional settlement discounts as a result of the new 
purchase finance facility implemented in February 2013. 

Operating Expenses
Operating costs for the 2013 financial year increased by 
$2.7m. This was largely accounted for by an increase in 
employment expenses. Staff costs increased by $3m 
as a result of additional headcount, an increase in profit 
based commission payments and an increase in leave 
provisions as a result of additional headcount. This was 
partially offset by savings across a number of key areas 
including transactional banking costs as a result of the 
changes in banking arrangements implemented in the 
later part of the FY12 financial year. There was also a 
significant reduction in bad debts written off during 
the year compared to last year. the reduction in bad 
debts demonstrates a continued focus on our credit 
management policy.

Profit
Despite lower revenues in 2013 financial year, net profit 
before tax increased to $13.2m (2012: $12.2m) up by 
8.1%, as a result of higher gross profit.

Net Profit after tax amounted to $9.2m (2012: $8.3m), 
an increase of 11.8% for the full year.

Earnings per share increased by 11.1% to 7.28 cents 
per share.

66

Balance Sheet
Trade receivables decreased from $69m to $64m, with 
an improvement to debtor days outstanding further 
demonstrating our focus on collections and a further 
reflection of improvements in the credit management 
cycle. However, inventory increased from $41m to $50m. 
With the take on of new vendors in the last quarter of 
FY13 and in particular the extension of our HP distribution 
agreement to include the full range of HP Printing and 
Supplies products there were some larger strategic 
inventory buys in the last quarter and particularly in June 
which puts us well placed for the first quarter of the new 
financial year.

Property, plant and equipment increased from $17m to 
$20m, with $3.4m towards an extension of our existing 
warehouse by 5,000 square metres completed in 
February 13. This investment is reflected under investing 
activities on the statement of cash flows.

as reported in our half year report the company entered 
into a new $20m inventory purchase finance facility with 
Macquarie Bank in February 2013. As a result trade 
payables decreased from $59m to $47m, but borrowings 
increased from $46m to $63m. The whole of this facility 
was used to pay for HP inventory purchases.

Short term provisions for annual leave and long service 
leave also increased from $580k to $902k.

Net assets increased from $19m to $20m, an increase 
of 8.7% over the year.

Significant Changes in the State if Affairs
Extension of Warehouse
In August, 2012 the company entered into a contract to 
extend the current warehouse facility by an additional 
5,000 square metres. Construction was funded by 
drawing on our existing finance facilities provided by 
St George Bank. This is reflected in our cash flow 
statement from investing activities with outflows of $3.4m 
for payments for property, plant and equipment. 

Dicker Data LimiteDThe extension more than doubled the existing warehouse capacity and sets the company up for future growth. 
Construction commenced in September 2012 and the project was completed 20 February, 2013.

New Finance Facility with Macquarie Bank 
In January 2013 the company entered into a new $20m inventory purchase finance facility with Macquarie Bank. Under 
the terms of the agreement the facility is available to the company for the purchase of inventory from HP, the company’s 
largest vendor.

This new facility has enabled the company to achieve greater flexibility in inventory purchases, including the opportunity 
to take advantage of early settlement discounts available and has provided greater flexibility in day to day management of 
working capital. As the facility has worked well in terms of providing the anticipated benefits expected and as a result of the 
extension of our HP supply agreement the limit on this facility has been increased by $5m in August 2013.

Extension of Hewlett Packard Agreement
In June 2013 the company was pleased to announce the extension of our distribution agreement with HP to include 
access to the full range of HP Printing and Supplies products, allowing us to now offer the full range of HP products to our 
resellers. Access to this product set will be an integral factor in driving increased HP revenue for the 2014 financial year.

Exercise of Options
During the year all the outstanding options were fully exercised. The options granted to Stonebridge Securities Ltd and 
related parties were to acquire 1,200,000 fully paid ordinary shares, exercisable at $0.25 expiring on 24 January 2014.

As at 18 February 2013 all options had been fully exercised. The table below is a summary of shares issued.

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

Significant Events After Balance Date
No matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2013 that has significantly affected or may significantly affect 
the company’s operations, the results of those operations or the state of affairs in future financial years.

Likely Developments and expected results 
In the 2014 financial year we will continue with the strategy set in place in 2013 to focus on product sets related to 
off-premise IT capabilities (datacentre and cloud strategies), which is anticipated will result in higher infrastructure, 
service and annuity revenues. We are constantly reviewing our vendor and supplier mix with the objective of long term 
profitability for Dicker Data. The increased warehouse capacity will also position the company for future growth and 
improvements in efficiency.

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.

1010

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

 – Base pay and benefits
 – 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-financial benefits 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 financial and non-financial 
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 profit margin targets. Using a profit target 
ensures variable reward is only available when value 
has been created for shareholders and when profit 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 profit with reconciliation at 
the end of the financial year against full-year actual profit. 
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 reflect 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.

Dicker Data LimiteD(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.

average of 23% per annum. Shareholder wealth has also increased at an average rate of 23% per annum over this period.

board of directors to ensure they do not impact the 
impartiality and objectivity of the auditor

Dicker Data LimiteDcoRpoRAte goveRnAnce stAtement

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 the company 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  
www.dickerdata.com.au.

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 ceO and also monitoring the performance of key 
management personnel. 

the performance of the ceO is measured by comparing 
actual performance against planned performance in 
terms of the budget, the company’s share price and 
corporate strategy development.

the ceO 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.

Some key responsibilities of the Board are as follows:

This policy is reviewed annually.

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 financial 

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 financial, operational, compliance and risk 
management controls function adequately; and
report to shareholders.

f. 

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 Officer (CEO) or 
executive team, must be made by the Board.

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 five Directors, including one non-executive 
Director:

Name 

David Dicker 

Position

 chairman and chief 
Executive Officer

Fiona Brown 

Non-Executive Director 

Mary Stojcevski 

Executive Director 

Chris Price 

Executive Director 

michael Demetre 

executive Director

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

1515

AnnuAl RepoRt 2013coRpoRAte goveRnAnce stAtement continued

for	the	year	ended	30	June	2013

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 qualified and experienced individuals with a 
desire to join the Board.

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 officer should not be exercised by the 
same individual.
the roles of chairman and ceO 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.

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 
officer 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;

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 officer 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 ceO 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 office are 
outlined on page 9 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. 

1616

Dicker Data LimiteDRecommendation 2.5: Companies should disclose the 
process for evaluating the performance of the board, 
its committees and individual directors.
The Board has considered the merits of undertaking 
a review of its performance and the performance of 
individual directors and has determined that the current 
size and composition of the board allows for:

a.  decisions to be made appropriately and expediently;
b.  a range of different perspectives to be put forward 

regarding issues before the board;

c.  a range of different skills to be brought to board 

deliberations; and

d.  board decisions to be made in the best interests 

of Dicker Data as a whole rather than of individual 
shareholders or interest groups.

As a result of this determination, the Board has chosen 
not to undertake this review process for the year ended 
30 June 2013. It is the view of the Board that the existing 
composition of the Board is optimal for current stage 
of the business and that the operations do not require 
additional skill sets at this point in time to drive the 
business and shareholder returns. 

The Board acknowledges the benefit of establishing a 
process to review and evaluation the performance of 
individual directors and the Board as a whole and 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.

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

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 confidence 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 specifically 
for directors and key officers 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 conflicts 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 officers be otherwise 
complied with.

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. This 
information is disclosed below.

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 specific 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 reflect this.

1717

AnnuAl RepoRt 2013coRpoRAte goveRnAnce stAtement continued

for	the	year	ended	30	June	2013

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 employees the follow 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 financial 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 confirm 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

1818

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.

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 company has adopted a continuous Disclosure 
Policy that 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.

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

The Continuous Disclosure Policy is available on 
the company website on www.dickerdata.com.au.

Dicker Data LimiteD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 financial 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 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 identified, 
monitored and managed and to embedding in its 
management and reporting systems a number of risk 
management controls.

The Board monitors and receive advice on areas 
of operational and financial risk, and considers strategies 
for appropriate risk management arrangements.

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

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 ceO and cFO manages Dicker Data’s material 
business risks and reports to the Board.

materiality thresholds 
Dicker Data regularly reviews procedures, and ensures 
timely identification 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 officer (or equivalent) and the chief financial 
officer (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 financial 
reporting risks.
The Board confirms that the Chief Executive Officer 
and the Chief Financial Officer have made the following 
certifications to the Board:

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

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

The financial statements and notes thereto give a true 
and fair view, in all material respects, of the financial 
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 financial statements and the accompanying 
notes are satisfied.

Principle 8: remunerate Fairly and 
responsibly
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 that will address the issues that 
would otherwise be considered by the remuneration 
committee.

Recommendation 8.2: The remuneration committee 
should be structured so that it:
 – consists of a majority of independent directors
 – is chaired by an independent chair
 – has at least three members

The Board will establish a remuneration committee in the 
future if it deems appropriate. For reasons stated above, 
the Board does not consider that there is a need for a 
separate board committee to carry out remuneration-
related functions.

Recommendation 8.3: Companies should clearly 
distinguish the structure of non-executive directors’ 
remuneration from that of executive directors and 
senior executives.
With respect to non-executive Directors, the Board 
ensures that:

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 
benefits);

c.  non-executive Directors are not provided with 

retirement benefits 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 currently receive any remuneration for her role. With 
respect to executives, the Board ensures that:

a.  executive remuneration packages involve a balance 
between fixed and incentive pay, reflecting 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.

The financial 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 financial report is a general purpose financial 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 profit oriented entities.

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

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

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals 
basis and is based on historical costs modified by the 
revaluation of selected non-current assets, and financial 
assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis 
of accounting has been applied. The financial report is 
presented in Australian Dollars and was authorised for 
issue by the directors on 29 August 2013.

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 profit 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 profit or loss when the tax 
relates to items that are recognised outside profit 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 financial 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 
profit or loss.

Deferred income tax expense reflects 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 reflects 
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 profit will be available 
against which the benefits 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 
significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities 
are expected to be recovered or settled.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Depreciation

(continued)

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.

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. Significant 
financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the 
debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial 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 flows, 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.

The depreciable amount of all fixed 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 profit 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 
finite 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
Significant costs associated with the website design and 
development are deferred and amortised on a straight 
line basis over a period of its expected benefit, being its 
finite life of 4 years. Amortisation of the asset commenced 
when the website first became available for use.

2626

for	the	year	ended	30	June	2013Dicker Data LimiteDg.	Leases
Leases of fixed assets, where substantially all the risks 
and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but 
not the legal ownership are transferred to the company 
are classified as finance 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.

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially 
all the risks and benefits 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 financial assets 
and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity 
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the 
instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial 
assets that are delivered within time frames established 
by marketplace convention.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair 
value plus transactions costs. Where the instrument is 
classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ transactions 
costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.

Classification and Subsequent Measurement
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at 
either, fair value, amortised cost using the effective 
interest rate method or cost. 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 financial asset or financial 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 financial instrument 
to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or 
financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash 
flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value 
with a consequential recognition of an income or expense 
in profit or loss.

(i)  Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 
Financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or 
loss’ when they are either held for trading for the purpose 
of short term profit taking. Such assets are subsequently 
measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being 
included in profit or loss. The company has not held any 
financial assets at fair value through profit and loss in the 
current or comparative financial year.

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

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 classified 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 classified as current assets.

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

(iv)  Available-for-sale financial assets 
Available-for-sale financial 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 classified as current assets.

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

AnnuAl RepoRt 2013notes to the finAnciAl stAtements continued

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

(continued) 

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 
financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of 
available-for-sale financial 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.

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

2828

Employee benefits payable later than one year have 
been measured at the present value of the estimated 
future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. 
In determining the liability, consideration is given to 
employee wage increases and the probability that the 
employee may not satisfy vesting requirements. those 
cash flows are discounted using market yields on national 
government bonds with terms to maturity that match the 
expected timing of cash flows.

k.	Trade	and	Other	Payables
these amounts represent liabilities for goods and 
services provided to the company prior to the end of the 
financial 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 outflow of economic benefits 
will result and that outflow 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 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.

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.

for	the	year	ended	30	June	2013Dicker Data LimiteD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 Office. 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 
financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the Statement of Cash Flows 
on a gross basis, except for the GST component of 
investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as 
operating cash flows.

p.	Contributed	Equity
Ordinary shares are classified 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 
figures 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 financial 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 identified the following critical 
accounting policies for which significant judgements, 
estimates and assumptions are made. actual results may 
differ from these estimates under different assumptions 
and conditions and may materially affect the financial 
results or the financial 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 Profit 
or Loss and Other comprehensive income net of supplier 
rebates and settlement discounts. Supplier rebates can 
be paid monthly, quarterly or half yearly. At the end of the 
financial year an estimate of rebates due, relating to the 
financial 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. 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 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 profits. An 
assumption has been made that it is unlikely that future 
capital profits 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 definite 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.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

(continued) 

Long Service Leave Provision
the liability for long service leave is 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.

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 specific knowledge of the 
individual debtors’ financial 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.

s.	Rounding	of	Amounts
the company is of a kind referred to in class Order 
98/100, issued by the Australian Securities and 
Investments Commission, relating to ‘rounding-
off’. amounts in this report have been rounded off 
in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest 
thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

t.	Adoption	of	New	&	Revised	Accounting	Standards
During the current year, the company has adopted all 
of the new and revised Australian Accounting Standards 
and Interpretations applicable to its operations which 
became mandatory.

the adoption of these Standards has not had any 
material impact on the financial statements of the 
company. Any new revised or amending Accounting 
standards or interpretation that are not yet mandatory 
have not been adopted

u.		New	Accounting	Standards	for	Application	

in Future Periods

Refer to the following page for Australian Accounting 
Standards issued or amended which may be applicable 
to the company but are not yet effective and have not 
been adopted in preparation of the financial statements 
at reporting date.

The new and amended Accounting Standards 
and interpretations are not expected to have any 
material impact on the annual financial statements 
of the company.

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 specific 
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 $3,429,670 as 
at 30 June 2013 (2012: $4,495,729). The company did not consider a credit risk on these balances after reviewing credit

Fully paid ordinary shares rank equally in all respects. All ordinary shares issued as at 30 June 2013 are fully paid. Ordinary 
shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the company in proportion to the 
number of and amounts paid on the shares held. On a show of hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting 
in person or by proxy is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote. The issue of shares in the 
company, subject to legislative requirements, is under the control of the directors.

b. Share Options

In the 2011 financial 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. All of these options have now been exercised. There are currently no share options 
outstanding.

c. capital management

Management controls the capital of the company in order to 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 financial liabilities, supported by financial assets.

Management effectively manage the company’s capital by assessing the company’s financial 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’s previously announced dividend policy continues 
which provides for quarterly dividends to be paid, with the aim to pay out dividends of up to 100% of underlying after tax 
profits from operations. In determining the amount of dividends management will take into account historical earnings of 
the company, available free cash flow 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.

Financial Risk Management Policies
The directors’ overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the company in meeting its financial targets, whilst 
minimising potential adverse effects on financial 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 specific credit allowances are undertaken to manage credit risk. Liquidity risk is managed through general business 
budgets and forecasts.

The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments is to raise finance 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 financial risk exposure and to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic 
conditions and forecasts.

Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The main risks the company is exposed to through its financial instruments are:

a.  credit risk
b.  liquidity risk and 
c.  interest rate risk

4646

for	the	year	ended	30	June	2013Dicker Data LimiteDa. credit risk

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

Credit risk is reviewed regularly by the directors and key management personnel. It predominantly arises from exposures 
to customers. 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 specified in the policy after an aggregate first loss of $100,000. Receivables balances are monitored on 
an ongoing basis with the result that the company’s exposure to bad debts has not been significant.

It is the company’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures 
including an assessment of their credit rating, financial 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 financial assets at balance date, excluding the value of any 
collateral or other security held, is equivalent to the carrying value and classification of those financial assets (net of any 
provisions) as presented in the statement of financial position.

The company has no significant 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 difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise 
meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The company manages this risk through the following mechanisms:

 – preparing forward-looking cash flow analyses in relations to its operational, investing and financing activities; 
 – monitoring undrawn credit facilities;
 – obtaining funding from a variety of sources; 
 – maintaining a reputable credit profile; 
 – managing credit risk related to financial assets.

The tables below reflect an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial 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 flows realised from financial instruments reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual 
timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities 
reflect the earliest contractual settlement dates and do not reflect management’s expectations that banking facilities will 
roll forward.

Certain financial 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 flows 
and interest charges and is indicated by the following floating interest rate financial liabilities:

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 profit would have 
been $440,384 lower/higher (2012: $321,920 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 financing and the mix 
of fixed and variable interest rates.
