Review of Financial Condition 

FY19 Financial Performance 

During  the  year  ended  30  June  2019  DTI  recorded  revenue  of  $19.2  million  (2018:  $19.1 million).    This 
represents a 0.4 per cent increase compared to the prior year and is attributed to a similar order book in the 
rail and bus sectors.  DTI’s revenue continues to be largely dependent upon capital projects during the year. 
There  is  an  increased  focus  on  securing  revenue  from  maintenance  and  recurring  equipment  sales.  
Revenue from these sources was $10.7 million (2018: $9.9 million) which represents an 8 per cent increase 
compared to the prior year.   

DTI  recorded  negative  EBITDA  of  $8.2  million  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2019  (2018:  negative 
$10.1 million).    Reported  EBITDA  was  adversely  impacted  by  the  identification  and  impairment  of 
unrecoverable assets and the execution of several contracts with less than optimum margins. These matters 
are further elaborated in the discussion on Underlying EBITDA below. 

Corporate  overheads  of  $3.4  million  (2018:  $2.9  million)  increased  by  14  per  cent  compared  to  prior  year. 
This  increase  is  largely  due  to  increase  in  legal,  professional  and  consulting  fees.  Employee  benefits 
expense of $7.4 million (2018: $7.7 million) was 4.0 per cent lower than prior year and includes restructuring 
provision totalling $0.5 million.

DTI regularly reviews the capitalised value of intangible assets to confirm 
that  the  carrying  value  can  be  recovered  against  future  product  sales.  
Where a product has become obsolete or is determined not to generate 
sufficient sales to support the carrying  value then the  intangible asset is 
impaired.  

During  the  financial  year,  DTI  performed  a  comprehensive  review  of  its 
Statement  of  Financial  Position  with  a  focus  on  asset  recoverability  and 
valuation  and  as  a  result  of  this  review  DTI  impaired  certain  inventory, 
which was no longer deemed commercial and long standing receivables, 
contract costs, which were deemed to be unrecoverable. 

As  at  30  June  2019,  the  market  capitalisation  of  DTI  did  not  exceed  its 
net  assets,  which  is  an  indicator  of  asset  impairment  under  accounting 
standards.  For  the  purpose  of  impairment  testing  the  intangibles  are 
allocated  to  one  Cash  Generating  unit  (CGU)  on  the  group  level.  The 
recoverable amount of the CGU was then determined using the value is 
use  model  which  requires  the  use  of  key  assumption  and  judgments 
relating  to  future  revenues,  anticipated  gross  margins,  growth  rates 
expected  and  discount  rate.  The  Board  determined  that  the  underlying 
assumptions  supporting  the  impairment  model  were  sensitive  to  create 
uncertainty of the model outcomes. As a result, the Board has taken the 
decision  to  impair  the  balance  of  capitalised  development  costs  by 
$1,493,687 (2018: $5,163,573). 

Cash Flow 

DTI  generated  negative  cash  flow  from  operations  of  $0.96 million  during  the  financial  year.    Net  cash 
outflow for the year was $3.1 million.  Key impacts on net cash flow included: 

i)  Continued investment in R&D activities amounting to $2.0 million;  

ii)  Continued working capital intensity, primarily for rail projects, amounting to $2.6 million; and 

iii)  R&D grant received of $1.6 million relating to FY18 financial year.

Directors’ Report 

Rail  projects  typically  have  a  larger  investment  in  engineering  and  design  and  can  be  subject  to  delays 
outside of DTI’s control.  The working capital intensity of these rail projects gives rise to irregular cash flows.   

Financial Position 

As at the end of the financial year, DTI maintained positive cash reserves of $2.0 million and sufficient levels 
of  liquid  working  capital.    DTI  has  no  term  debt  and  the  only  financial  indebtedness  relates  to  insurance 
premium funding.   

As  described  in  the  Financial  Statements  as  at  30  June  2019,  DTI  is  not  in  compliance  with  its  financial 
covenants with Bankwest.  Bankwest has provided a waiver of this non-compliance until the next review in 
September 2019. 

Review of principal business 

DTI services the global mass transit market. The principal underlying drivers for DTI business are: 

i) 

Increased public and private investment in public transport infrastructure;  

ii)  Requirement for improved security and surveillance on mass transit systems; and 

iii)  Increased demand for passenger information systems on mass transit systems. 

DTI considers these are strong drivers of demand for its products and services which will continue into FY20 
and beyond. 

Investments for future performance 

DTI completed a major investment in new products which resulted in material R&D costs incurred and a lag 
in revenue as these new products were introduced to market.  This contributed to the Group’s net loss for the 
year.  While R&D activities will continue to be a focus for DTI, it is considered that the level of R&D spend will 
be reduced in FY20 and be more focused on software features and services. 

Operational performance 

Throughout FY19 DTI won a number of significant new contracts on the basis of its unique product offering.  
DTI  was  awarded  contracts  to  provide  surveillance  and  other  associated  equipment  for  London 
Underground, Virgin Trains, MTM COMENG fleet and London Midland.   

DTI  continues  to  provide  long-term  maintenance  and  support  services  to  municipal  transit  authorities  in 
Australia  (Brisbane  City  Council,  Public  Transit  Authority  of  Western  Australia,  Department  of  Planning, 
Transport  and  Infrastructure  of  South  Australia,  and  Action  Bus  (Canberra))  and  in  the  UK.    DTI  is  also 
continuing  to  supply  its  mobile  video  surveillance  solutions  to  long  term  customers  in  San  Francisco  and 
Philadelphia. 

Throughout  FY19,  DTI  made  significant  investment  in  new  products,  primarily  for  deployment  on  Alstom 
trains  for  the  Sydney  Metro  project.    Deliveries  of  these  products  (by  train-set)  commenced  in  FY17  and   
continued  throughout  FY19.  The  DART  project  in  the  USA  moved  to  completion  and  has  entered  the

they  receive  the  very  best  in  quality  and  service  from  our  company  and  will  cater  to  broadening  business 
opportunities globally.  

Significant changes in state of affairs 

In  the  opinion  of  the  directors,  there  were  no  significant  changes  in  the  state  of  affairs  of  the  Group  that 
occurred during the financial year under review. 

Outlook 

Opportunity Pipeline 

DTI continues to enjoy strong demand for its products and services with an Opportunity Pipeline exceeding 
$120 million.  FY19 was a challenging year for the Group with a significant investment made in developing 
new products that have positioned the business strongly to drive future revenue growth.  Efforts to position 
DTI with major rail and bus providers should continue to develop into new projects and service opportunities 
in FY20. A large number of markets indicate major new investment in either new fleets or retrofit of existing 
fleets.  This  should  position  DTI  well,  as  recent  product  developments  can  now  be  offered  for  these 
opportunities.  

Order Book 

DTI continued to secure new projects including a large rail upgrade project for MTM in Melbourne. This project 
included  core  technology  offerings  for  passenger  information,  hearing  loop,  CCTV  and  emergency 
communications.  The  Central  Line  project  in  the  UK  was  also  secured  which  include  camera  and  digital 
recording products. 

Smaller  product  and  project  sales  across  Europe  continued  to  be  awarded  to  DTI  through  our  system 
integrator  network.  Ongoing  orders  for  digital  recording  systems  for  new  buses  in  Australia  through  key  bus 
manufacturers was also a highlight. 

Business Strategies 

DTI’s  business  strategy  to  develop  innovative  hardware  and  software  products  for  the  transit  industry 
covering passenger  information, multi-use digital  video recording and  emergency  communications systems 
has resulted in a suite of products and solutions ready for the global transit market. DTI will continue to seek 
new projects in selected markets to capitalise on these new offerings.  

Into FY20, DTI will focus on its existing customer base and concentrate on improving its delivery of projects 
together with ensuring we secure long term maintenance and support agreements. 

Product development focus will include exciting new software analytics offerings. 

Future Developments 

With regards to its current balance of contracted work, DTI expects to deliver improved revenue and gross 
margin during the second  half of FY20  as a number  of projects move into final  delivery stages.  Focus on 
growing  DTI’s  service  businesses  to  deliver  improved  customer  service  outcomes  and  increased  gross 
margin contributions to the overall DTI business, will continue. The opportunity to win new contracted work 
from  its  range  of  new  products  is  strong  and  DTI  is  focussed  on  building  its  backlog  of  contracted  work  in 
order  to  demonstrate  strong  future  revenue.  Cost  control  across  the  business  will  continue  to  receive 
attention.

Dividends 

In  respect  of  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2019,  no  interim  dividend  was  paid  and  the  directors  have 
determined that no final dividend will be paid.   

Events since the end of the financial year 

On  20  August  2019,  DTI  announced  it  proposes  to  make  a  5  for  9  non-renounceable  entitlement  offer  to 
raise approximately $3 million via the issue of approximately 119.6 million new shares at 2.5 cents per share 
(Entitlement  Offer).  The  Entitlement  Offer  will  be  underwritten  by  Finico  Pty  Ltd  and  UIL  Limited  who  are 
major  shareholders  of  the  Company.  The  proceeds  of  the  capital  raising  will  provide  necessary  working 
capital and to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet for future growth. 

Pursuant  to  the  Underwriting  Deeds,  the  Underwriters  also  agreed  to  advance  the  Underwriter  Loans 
($810,552  from UIL and $971,684 from Finico)  to the Company on 20 August 2019, the repayment of which 
will be satisfied and offset by the Company via the issue of 32,422,088 New Shares to UIL and 38,867,358 
New Shares to Finico under the proposed Entitlement Offer.  

Other than what has been mentioned above, no matters or circumstance have arisen that have significantly 
affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of DTI Group Ltd, the results of those operations or the 
state of affairs of DTI Group Ltd in subsequent years that is not otherwise disclosed in this report. 

Likely developments and expected results of operations 

The  Group  will  continue  to  pursue  its  policy  of  developing  communications  and  passenger  information 
technologies  for  the  global  mass  transit  market.    DTI  remains  confident  in  its  outlook  as  it  seeks  to  drive 
growth  via  its  strong  pipeline  of  opportunities.    The  Group’s  ongoing  investment  in  R&D  aims  to  strive  for 
continued innovation and market leadership of the products and services that DTI offers to the global mass 
transit industry and other related markets. 

Environmental regulation 

The  Company  is  not  subject  to  any  specific  environmental  regulation.    The  Directors  have  considered 
compliance with the National Greenhouse and  Energy Reporting Act 2007  which requires entities to report 
greenhouse gas emissions and energy use.  The Directors have assessed that there are no current reporting 
requirements, but the Company may be required to do so in the future.

standard  of  independence  for  auditors  imposed  by  the  Corporations  Act  2001.    The  Directors  are  satisfied 
that the services disclosed below did not compromise the external auditor’s independence for the following 
reasons: 

• 

All non-audit services are reviewed and approved by Board prior to commencement to ensure they do 
not conversely affect the integrity and objectivity of the auditor.

independence as set out in the APES Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants.  

The  total  fees  for  non-audit  services  paid  to  the  auditor  or  related  practices  of  the  auditor  during  the  year 
ended 30 June 2019 were $7,593 (2018: $7,234) in relation to UK Tax services. 

Proceedings on behalf of the Company 

No  person  has  applied  to  the  court  under  section  237  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001  for  leave  to  bring 
proceedings on behalf of the Company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party, 
for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or part of those proceedings.

Remuneration Policy 

Non-Executive Directors 

Non-Executive Directors receive a Board fee and fees for chairing or participating on Board committees, as 
set out below.  They do not receive performance-based pay or retirement allowances.  The fees are inclusive 
of  superannuation.    The  Chairman  does  not  receive  additional  fees  for  participating  in  or  chairing 
committees.   

The Chairman of the Board receives a fixed fee of $50,000 per annum.  Other Non-Executive Directors each 
receive an annual Board fee of $30,000 plus an additional $5,000 per annum for membership of the Audit, 
Risk and Compliance Committee.  A further fee  of $5,000  per annum is paid to  the chairman of the Audit, 
Risk  and  Compliance  Committee.    However  with  the  dissolution  of  the  Audit,  Risk  and  Compliance  and 
Nominations  and  Remuneration  Committees,  Non-Executive  Directors  will  no  longer  be  entitled  to  receive 
membership  fees  to  the  Audit  Committee.  No  additional  fees  apply  with  respect  to  the  Nominations  and 
Remuneration Committee.  The maximum annual  aggregate Directors’ fee pool limit is $250,000. Fees  will 
be reviewed annually by the Board in the future. 

All Non-Executive Directors have entered into a service agreement with the Company in the form of a letter 
of appointment.  The letter summarises various matters relating to the  appointment including the position’s 
role and responsibilities, time commitments, remuneration and expenses, outside interests, securities dealing 
policy  and  the  treatment  of  confidential  information.    These  matters  are  consistently  applied  for  each                 
Non-Executive Director. 

DTI Executives 

The  Company’s  remuneration  policy  for  DTI  executives  is  to  fairly  and  responsibly  reward  them  having 
regard  to  the  performance  of  the  Group,  the  performance  of  the  executive  and  prevailing  remuneration 
expectations in the market.  

The  Company  also  seeks  to  establish  remuneration  structures  which  align  the  interests  of  its  key 
management  personnel  with  the  interests  of  the  Company  and  its  shareholders.    DTI  has  established  a 
Management  Compensation  Plan  (MCP)  under  which  certain  executives  are  entitled  to  receive  short-term 
incentives (STI) and long term incentives (LTI) based on the delivery of key Group and individual outcomes, 
and  the  profitability  of  the  DTI  Group.    During  the  financial  year,  only  Mr  Tazewell  and  Mr  Johnson  were 
participants of the MCP.

Directors’ Report 

Audited Remuneration Report 

Other  DTI  executives  do  not  have  a  formal  STI  or  LTI  component  of  their  remuneration  package  however 
they may receive a cash bonus as a STI, at the discretion of the Board. 

As detailed in this report, no DTI executives received any STI or LTI payments in respect of FY19.   

The amount of compensation for current and future periods for DTI executives is based on consideration of 
market factors, comparison to peers and reference to the individual’s experience and performance.  Overall, 
remuneration  policies  are  subject  to  the  discretion  of  the  Board  and  can  be  changed  to  reflect  the 
competitive market and business conditions when in the interest of the Company and shareholders. 

Performance Evaluation 

Each DTI executive is subject to a review of their individual performance each year in accordance with the 
Company’s Development and Appraisal Process.  This process usually takes place in September each year.   

Remuneration Structure 

DTI executive  

The  remuneration  structure  for  DTI  executives  participating  in  the  MCP  is  based  on  the  concept  of  a  total 
package target (TPT) assuming budgeted financial performance is achieved and the participants performed 
satisfactorily.  If the business and/or the participants perform below standard then the total remuneration will 
be less.  If financial performance exceeds budget and there is above average performance then the package 
can increase by up to 18.75 per cent of the TPT.  The TPT comprises three components: 

i) 

ii) 

iii)  

A fixed component, representing base salary  plus superannuation,  which comprises 75 per cent  of 
the TPT; 

a variable component, represented by a STI paid as a cash bonus, which comprises 12.5 per cent of 
the  TPT.    This  component  can  increase  to  25  per  cent  of  the  fixed  component  for  exceptional 
performance; and 

a  variable  component,  represented  by  a  LTI  in  the  form  of  an  equity  issue  of  DTI  shares,  which 
comprises  12.5  per  cent  of  the  TPT.    This  component  can  increase  to  33.3  per  cent  of  the  fixed 
component for exceptional performance. 

The  STI  and  LTI  are  determined  following  the  finalisation  of  the  audited  annual  financial  results.    If 
employment has ceased for any reason on or before the date when the STI and LTI are paid or are due for 
payment, eligibility to receive the STI and LTI lapses.  The participants may elect to receive the STI payment 
in equity securities, subject to shareholder approval.   

In  the  event  of  serious  misconduct  or  a  material  misstatement  in  the  Company’s  financial  statements,  the 
Board  can  cancel  or  defer  performance-based  remuneration  and  may  also  claw  back  performance-based 
remuneration paid in previous financial years.   

The  Board  of  DTI Group  reserves  the  right  not  to  pay  an  STI  or  LTI  if  financial  performance,  earnings  per 
share and/or operational performance have not met the expectations of the Board.

Directors’ Report 

Audited Remuneration Report 

The remuneration structure for DTI executives not participating in the MCP is based on a fixed component, 
representing  base  salary  plus  superannuation.    DTI  Executives  may  be  granted  a  cash  bonus  at  the 
discretion of the Board. 

Fixed Component 

Fixed  remuneration  comprises  base  salary,  employer  superannuation  contributions  and  other  allowances 
and non-cash benefits.  Each Executive’s fixed remuneration is reviewed and benchmarked annually.   

Variable Component – STI and LTI 

Variable  remuneration  for  participants  in  the  MCP  comprises  STIs  linked  to  Company  and  individual 
performance over one year, and LTIs linked to performance over a period greater than a year. The following 
table  sets  out  the  maximum  variable  remuneration  each  Executive  Officer  could  have  achieved,  on  an 
annualised basis, in FY19, expressed as a percentage of total remuneration, if maximum performance was 
achieved for the STI and LTI components of their variable components.

Audited Remuneration Report 

Relationship between the remuneration policy and company 
performance 

One of the directors’ remuneration objectives is to align the interests of its key management personnel with 
the interests of the Company and its shareholders.  In FY19 this was achieved through the participation of 
the  Company’s  two  principal  executives  in  the  MCP  which  placed  a  material  proportion  of  executives’ 
remuneration at risk.  It is intended to introduce an incentive plan for other executives in the future. 

As  noted  previously,  no  awards  of  STI  will  be  made  to  DTI  executives  in  relation  to  FY19.  Refer  Table  on 
page 20 for further remuneration details of key management personnel. 

The relationship between remuneration and DTI’s performance for the following executive KMPs are set out 
below.  

Peter Tazewell  

•  ST  Incentive  cash  bonus  based  on  the  achievement  of  budgeted  EBITDA  (50  per  cent  weighting), 
achievement of revenue, profit before and after tax and operating and investing cash flow (20 per cent 
weighting) and the achievement of other criteria including expansion and diversification, business plans 
and strategy (30 per cent weighting). The composition of the cash bonus is 12.5 per cent of the package 
guide or up to 25 per cent of the base salary for exceptional performance. 

•  LT  Incentive  based  on  the  achievement  of  earnings  per  share  performance  compared  to  the  previous 
period  (50  per  cent  weighting)  and  non-financial  performance  including  shareholder  and  broker 
relationships,  communication  and  presentation  skills,  board-reporting  and  management  information 
systems,  risk  assessment  and  problem  solving,  forward  thinking  and  innovative  mindset  (50  per  cent 
weighting). The LT Incentive forms 12.5 per cent of the package guide or up to 33.3 per cent of the base 
salary for exceptional performance. 

•  Mr  Tazewell  was  allocated  300,000  performance  rights  as  an  LTI  in  FY19  which  will  be  subjected  to 

further service and performance conditions. Refer to DTI Employee Performance Rights page 24. 

Richard Johnson 

•  Cash  bonus  based  on  the  achievement  of  budgeted  EBITDA  (70  per  cent  weighting)  and  the 
achievement  of  other  criteria  including  projects  and  margins,  business  expansion,  service  levels  and 
product  reliability  (30  per  cent  weighting).  The  composition  of  the  cash  bonus  is  12.5  per  cent  of  the 
package guide or up to 25 per cent of the base salary for exceptional performance. 

•  LT  Incentive  based  on  the  achievement  of  earnings  per  share  performance  compared  to  the  previous 
period  (50  per  cent  weighting)  and  non-financial  performance  including  leadership,  replicability  and 
character (50 per cent  weighting). The LT Incentive forms 12.5 per cent of the package guide or up to   
33 per cent of the base salary for exceptional performance. 

•  Mr  Johnson  was  allocated  100,000  performance  rights  as  an  LTI  in  FY19  which  will  be  subjected  to 

further service and performance conditions. Refer to DTI Employee Performance Rights page 24.

DTI Employee Share Plan  

The DTI Employee Share Plan (DESP) has been established to permit shares to be issued by the Company 
to  employees  for  no  cash  consideration.    All  permanent  employees  (excluding  directors)  who  have  been 
continuously employed by the group for a period of at least one year are eligible to participate in the scheme. 
Employees may elect not to participate in the scheme.  

The shares are recognised at the closing share price on the grant date (31c on 15 April 2016) as an issue of 
treasury  shares  by  the  trust  and  as  part  of  employee  benefit  costs  over  the  period  the  shares  vest.    The 
shares vest one third per year on the anniversary date of 15 April over the subsequent three years. 

DTI  Capital  Pty  Ltd  (Trustee),  a  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  the  Company,  has  been  appointed  by  the 
Company  to  act  as  the  trustee  of  the  DESP.    The  Company  has  issued  2,000,000  DESP  shares  to  the 
Trustee  to  hold  for  the  benefit  of  employees  until  the  DESP  shares  cease  to  be  subject  to  any  vesting 
conditions,  at  which  time  the  DESP  shares  will  be  transferred  to  the  employee  or  sold  on  behalf  of  the 
employee, with the sale proceeds remitted to the employee. 

Treasury  shares  are  shares  in  the  Company  that  are  held  by  DTI  Capital  Ltd  for  the  purpose  of  issuing 
shares  under  the  DESP.    The  shares  are  held  as  treasury  shares  until  such  time  as  they  are  vested.  
Forfeited DESP shares may be reallocated in subsequent grants.

Audited Remuneration Report 

DTI Employee Performance Rights  

On 20 November 2018 during the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, it was resolved that DTI would 
be  permitted  to  issue  performance  rights,  options  and  restricted  shares  under  a  new  DTI  Group  Limited 
Equity  Plan.  The  Company  has  established  the  Plan  to  assist  in  the  motivation,  retention  and  reward  of 
employees and replaces the DESP.  

The Plan is designed to align the interests of executives and employees with the interests of shareholders by 
providing an opportunity for the participants to receive any equity interest in the Company. At the date of this 
report 273,000 shares and 925,000 Performance Rights have been granted under this plan. 

The performance rights have a  three-year  vesting period and  will  be subject to  a relative total shareholder 
return  hurdle  (RTSR  Hurdle),  which  compares  the  total  shareholder  return  performance  of  the  Group  with 
each of the entities within the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Index. The performance rights are valued using a 
hybrid option pricing model. The model uses a correlated simulation that simultaneously calculates the RTSR 
of the Company and each constituent of the Peer Group on a risk neutral basis as at the vesting date with 
regards to the performance period. The fair value at grant date each performance right issued was $0.035.

Reliance on External Remuneration Consultants 

There has not been any reliance on external remuneration consultants. 

Adoption of Remuneration Report  

At  the  2018  Annual  General  Meeting,  the  resolution  adopting  the  2018  Remuneration  Report  was  carried 
unanimously. 

The  Company  received  more  than  98.1  per  cent  of  “yes”  votes  on  its  Remuneration  Report  for  the  2018 
financial  year.    The  Company  did  not  receive  any  specific  feedback  at  the  Annual  General  Meeting  or 
throughout the year on its remuneration practices. 

This concludes the remuneration report, which has been audited.

DTI supplies goods and services to a broad range of customers in the transit industry.  During the reporting 
period,  three  (2018:  four)  major  customers  accounted  for  in  excess  of  49  per  cent  (2018:  30  per  cent)  of 
Group’s revenue. 

Note 2: Revenue and expenses 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 

The Group has adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers with a date of initial application of 
1  July  2018.  As  a  result,  the  Group  has  changed  its  accounting  policy  for  revenue  recognition  as  detailed 
below.  

The  Group  has  applied  AASB  15  using  the  cumulative  effect  method  and  therefore  the  comparative 
information has not been restated and continues to be reported under AASB 118. The details of accounting 
policies under  AASB  118  are disclosed separately  if they are  different from those under  AASB  15 and the 
impact of changes is disclosed in Note 25. 

A.  Significant accounting policy  

Revenue  is  measured  based  on  the  consideration  specified  in  a  contract  with  a  customer  and  excludes 
amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control over a 
product or service to a customer.  

In the comparative period 30 June 2018, revenue was recognised at fair value of the consideration received 
net  of  the  amount  of  GST  or  value  added  tax  payable  to  the  taxation  authorities.  Sales  of  products  were 
recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and 
can be measured reliably. Risks and rewards were considered passed to the buyer at the time of delivery of 
the  goods  to  the  customer  or  at  the  point  where  billing  threshold  has  been  met.  Service  revenue  was 
recognised  when  the  fees  in  respect  of  services  rendered  were  earned,  usually  when  services  had  been 
provided to customers or as per terms and conditions of service contracts.

B.  Nature of Goods and Services  

The following is a description of the principal activities from which the Group generates its revenue.  

Products and services  Nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and significant 

Sale of goods only  

Project-based services 

Maintenance and 
technical support  

payment terms 
The  Group  recognises  revenue  when  the  customers  obtain  control  of  the 
goods.  This  usually  occurs  when  the  goods  are  delivered.  The  amount  of 
revenue  recognised  for  goods  delivered  is  adjusted  for  expected  returns. 
Invoices  are  generated  and  revenue  is  recognised  at  that  point  in  time. 
Invoices  are  usually  payable  within  45  days  (credit  term).  No  element  of 
financing is deemed present as the sales are made within standard credit term, 
which  is  consistent  with  market  practice.  The  Group’s  obligation  to  provide  a 
refund or replacement for faulty products under the standard warranty terms is 
recognised as a provision.  

Some  contracts  include  multiple  deliverables,  such  as  the  provision  and 
installation  and  commission  of  hardware  and  software.  These  multiple 
deliverables form an integration service and could not be performed by another 
party,  the  goods  and  services  represent  a  single  combined  performance 
obligation  over  which  control  is  considered  to  transfer  over  time.  This  is 
because the provision of goods and services by the Group enhance an asset 
(i.e  trains  or  buses)  that  the  customer  controls  as  the  asset  is  enhanced. 
Revenue  is  recognised  overtime  as  the  customisation  or  integration  work  is 
performed,  using  the  cost  to  cost  input  method  to  estimate  progress  towards 
completion. When cost incurred is not proportionate to the entity’s progress in 
satisfying  the  performance  obligation,  the  input  method  is  adjusted  to 
recognise revenue only to the extent of that cost incurred (For example, goods 
have been delivered to the customers but installation has not commenced).    

that  give  rise 

Estimates  of  revenues,  costs  or  extent  of  progress  toward  completion  are 
revised  if  circumstances  changes.  Any  resulting  increases  or  decreases  in 
estimated revenues or costs are reflected in profit or loss in the period in which 
the  circumstances 
the  revision  become  known  by 
to 
management.  Customers  usually  pay  according  to  the  agreed  invoicing 
schedule  or  contract  milestones.  If  the  goods  and  services  rendered  by  the 
Group  exceed  the  payment,  a  contract  asset  is  recognised.  If  the  payments 
exceed the goods and services rendered, a contract liability is recognised.   
The  Group  provides  maintenance  and  technical  services.  These  services  are 
usually bundled together with sales of products or provision of project services 
to  customer.  The  maintenance  and  technical  support  can  be  obtained  from 
other providers and  do not significantly  customise or  modify the  product sold. 
When  these  service  is  bundled  together  with  other  services  provided  by  the 
Group, the Group performed a re-allocation of contract consideration based on 
the relative stand-alone selling prices of its bundled services. For maintenance 
and  technical  support,  which  is  billed  based  on  hourly  basis,  the  Group 
recognises revenue as the services are performed.

*  The  Group  has  adopted  cumulative  effect  method,  under  this  method  only  balances  at  transition  is 
presented. 

(i) Definition 

Contract Assets 

The contract assets primarily relate to the Group’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at 
the reporting date. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional.  

Contract Liabilities 

The  contract  liabilities  primarily  relate  to  the  advance  consideration  received  from  customers  for  project-
based  service,  for  which  revenue  is  deferred  until  revenue  can  be  recognised  on  the  completion  of  its 
passenger information system. 

Contract Costs 

Management  expects  that  incremental  costs  incurred  as  a  result  of  obtaining  project-based  contracts  are 
recovered.  These  incremental  costs  of  completing  a  particular  project-based  contract  is  capitalised  as 
contract costs and expensed when the related revenue is recognised. The Group have applied the practical 
expedient in paragraph 94 of AASB 15, the Group recognises the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as 
an  expense  when  incurred  if  the  amortisation  period  of  the  assets  that  the  Group  otherwise  would  have 
recognised is one year or less. The Group applies impairment policy on contract costs as stated in Note 10.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Note 2: Revenue and expenses (cont’d) 

(ii) Significant changes in contract assets and contract liabilities 

Contract  assets  have  increased  as  the  group  has  provided  more  services  ahead  of  the  agreed  payment 
schedules for fixed price-contracts.  

Contract liabilities have increased due to to the advance consideration received from customers for project-
based  service,  for  which  revenue  is  deferred  until  revenue  can  be  recognised  on  the  completion  of  its 
passenger information system. 

(iii) Revenue recognised in relation to contract liabilities 

Revenue recognised for the  year ended 30 June 2019 that  was included  in the contract liability balance at 
the beginning of the period is Nil. 

The amount of revenue recognised for the year ended 30 June 2019 from performance obligations satisfied 
(or partially satisfied) in previous periods is nil. 

(iv) Unsatisfied long-term contracts 

The  aggregate  amount  of  transaction  price  allocated  to  unsatisfied  performance  obligations  resulting  from 
long-term contracts as at 30 June 2019 is $21.6 million.  

Management  expects  that  56%  of  the  transaction  price  allocated  to  the  unsatisfied  contracts  as  of                
30  June  2019  will  be  recognised  as  revenue  during  the  next  reporting  period.  The  remaining  44%  will  be 
recognised  between  2021  to  2023  financial  year.  The  amount  disclosed  above  does  not  include  variable 
consideration which is constrained. 

As  permitted  under  the  transitional  provisions  in  AASB  15,  the  transaction  price  allocated  to  unsatisfied 
performance  obligations  (partially  or  fully)  as  of  30  June  2018  is  not  disclosed.  The  Group  applies  the 
practical  expedient  in  paragraph  121  of  AASB  15  and  does  not  disclose  information  about  remaining 
performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

Note 2: Revenue and expenses (cont’d) 

(i) Government grants 

Government grants are assistance by the government in the form of transfers of resources to the Company 
in return for past or future compliance with certain conditions relating to the operating activities of the entity. 
Government grants include government assistance where there are no conditions specifically relating to the 
operating  activities  of  the  Company  other  than  the  requirement  to  operate  in  certain  regions  or  industry 
sectors.    Government  grants  relating  to  income  are  recognised  as  income  over  the  periods  necessary  to 
match  them  with  the  related  costs  and  grants  relating  to  assets  are  regarded  as  a  reduction  in  asset. 
Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the 
purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Company with no future related costs are recognised as 
income of the period in which it becomes receivable. The requirements of AASB 120: Government Grants, 
R&D  Grant  Income,  requires  that  income  earned  from  the  grant  in  relation  to  expenditure  on  capitalised 
intangible assets, are offset against the value of those intangible assets. This is done after reducing it by the 
amount of amortisation recognised in the financial year as follows: 

R&D grant income earned in current year 
R&D grant income offset (included in Note 10)

Note 3: Income tax  

Current tax 

Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the 
taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or 
substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability 
(or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable). 

Deferred tax 

Deferred tax is accounted for using the comprehensive balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary 
differences  arising  from  differences  between  the  carrying  amount  of  assets  and  liabilities  in  the  financial 
statements and the corresponding tax base of those items. 

In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets 
are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available against which 
deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax 
assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them arise from the initial 
recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination)  which affects neither 
taxable  income  nor  accounting  profit.  Furthermore,  a  deferred  tax  liability  is  not  recognised  in  relation  to 
taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill. 

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in associates 
and  are  only  recognised  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  there  will  be  sufficient  taxable  profits  against 
which  to  utilise  the  benefits  of  the  temporary  differences  and  that  they  are  expected  to  reverse  in  the 
foreseeable future. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) 
when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that 
have been enacted or substantively  enacted by reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax  liabilities 
and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, 
at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. 

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  when  they  relate  to  income  taxes  levied  by  the  same  taxation 
authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. 

Current and deferred tax for the period 

Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the consolidated statement of profit or 
loss and other comprehensive income, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, 
in  which  case  the  deferred  tax  is  also  recognised  directly  in  equity,  or  where  it  arises  from  the  initial 
accounting for a business combination, in which case it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill 
or excess.

Significant Estimate  

Trade Receivable  

The loss allowances for trade receivable are based on assumptions about the risk of default and expected 
loss rates. The group uses judgements in making these assumptions and selecting inputs to the impairment 
calculation  based  on  group  past  history  of  defaults,  existing  market  condition  as  well  as  forward  looking 
estimates in each reporting period.

R&D  Receivable  in  the  prior  year  is  based  on  best  estimate  prepared  by  the  Group’s  tax  advisor.  The 
assessment of R&D claims in relation to 30 June 2019 financial year has not yet commenced and as such no 
receivable was provided. 

(a)  Impaired trade receivables 

At  30  June  2019  current  trade  receivables  of  the  Group  with  a  value  of  $348,326  (2018:  $383,015)  were 
impaired. 

It was assessed that a nominal portion of these receivables is expected to be recovered and the full amount 
has been provided for. 

Movements in the provision for impairment of 
receivables are as follows: 
Opening at 1 July 
Additional impairment recognized from AASB 9 – initial 
adoption – Note 25 
Receivable written off during the year as uncollectable 
Amount recovered

The creation and release of the provision for impaired receivables has been included in ‘other expenses’ in 
the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Amounts charged to the allowance account 
are generally written off when there is no expectation of recovering additional cash. 

(b)  Past due but not impaired 

At 30 June 2019 trade receivables of $784,333 (2018: $1,921,471) were past due, but not impaired. These 
relate to a number of independent customers for whom there is no recent history of default. DTI is confident 
that  these  receivables  are  collectible  and  are  active  in  the  management  and  reduction  of  these  overdue 
amounts.

The other classes within Trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. 
Based  on  the  credit  history  of  these  trade  receivables,  it  is  expected  that  these  amounts  will  be  received 
when due. The Group does not hold any collateral in relation to these receivables.  

(c)  Foreign exchange and interest rate risk 

Information  on  the  Group’s  exposure  to  foreign  currency  risk  and  interest  rate  risk  in  relation  to  trade  and 
other receivables is provided in Note 14. 

(d)  Fair value and credit risk 

Due to the short-term nature of current receivables, their carrying  amount is assumed to approximate their 
fair value. Credit risk is assessed at the time a customer applies to open a credit account with the Group and 
is monitored thereafter on a regular basis. Management assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking 
into  account  its  financial  position,  past  experience,  trade  references,  external  rating  where  obtained  and 
other factors then sets credit limits. The compliance with credit limits by customers is regularly monitored by 
management. 

Note 6: Trade and other payables 

Trade  payables  and  other  payables  are  recognised  when  the  Company  becomes  obliged  to  make  future 
payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually 
paid within 60 to 90 days of recognition.

In October 2018, the Company financed its insurance premiums through Monument Premium Funding with 
the funds to be repaid within the next 12 months.   

During the financial year, the company repaid it finance leases with Capital Finance Australia and ANZ Ltd in 
full. Therefore, there were no asset financing facilities utilised at 30 June 2019 (2018: $112,966).

Borrowings  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value,  net  of  transaction  costs  incurred.  Borrowings  are 
subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transactions costs) 
and  the  redemption  amount  is  recognised  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other 
comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on 
the establishment of loan facilities, which are not an incremental cost relating to the actual draw-down of the 
facility, are recognised as prepayments and amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the facility. 

Financing Facility 

The group has a $3.5 million, multi-option, multi-currency funding package with Bankwest. The $3.5 million 
facility  covers  the  Group’s  working  capital,  bonding  and  overdraft  facilities  and  encompasses  sub-limits for 
certain  facilities.  The  working  capital,  bonding  and  overdraft  facilities  can  be  drawn  in  multiple  currencies 
using a variety of instruments. As at 30 June 2019, $885,082 was drawn down as bank guarantee with the 
remaining $2,614,918 unutilised. Refer to Note 18(c).

No provision for inventory obsolescence (2018: $35,000) is included in the cost of goods sold in the 
statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income.  In  determining  the  obsolescence 
provision  management  reviewed  all  inventory  items  and  assessed  future  demand  for  these  items 
along with projected maintenance requirements for the support of existing contracts over the coming 
years. 

Accounting Policy 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned to inventory on hand 
by  the  method  most  appropriate  to  each  particular  class  of  inventory,  with  the  majority  being  valued  on  a 
weighted average basis by location. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course 
of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment. Depreciation is calculated on either a diminishing 
value  or  straight  line  basis  so  as  to  allocate  the  net  cost  or  other  re-valued  amount  of  each  asset  over  its 
estimated useful life or in the case of certain leased plant and equipment the shorter lease term. 

The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation: 

•  plant and equipment – 2.5 to 5 years 

•  motor vehicles under finance lease – 5 years 
•  buildings – 10 years

Note 10: Intangible assets (cont’d) 

Accounting Policy 

Amortisation of Capitalised Development Costs 

In prior financial period, DTI has reassessed the accounting estimates of the amortisation of its Capitalised 
Development Costs. DTI has determined that a straight line basis in accordance with AASB108 para.40, is a 
more appropriate method rather than amortisation based on the revenue method.  

Impairment of assets 

At each reporting  date, the entity reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine  whether  there is 
any  indication  that  those  assets  have  suffered  an  impairment  loss.  If  any  such  indication  exists,  the 
recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). 
Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the entity estimates 
the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, 
the  estimated  future  cash  flows  are  discounted  to  their  present  value  using  a  pre-tax  discount  rate  that 
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which 
the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. 

If  the  recoverable  amount  of  an  asset  (or  cash-generating  unit)  is  estimated  to  be  less  than  its  carrying 
amount,  the  carrying  amount  of  the  asset  (cash-generating  unit)  is  reduced  to  its  recoverable  amount.  An 
impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, 
in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. 

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is 
increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying 
amount  does  not  exceed  the  carrying  amount  that  would  have  been  determined  had  no  impairment  loss 
been  recognised  for  the  asset  (cash-generating  unit)  in  prior  years.  A  reversal  of  an  impairment  loss  is 
recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the 
reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. 

Intangibles 

Internally  generated  intangible  assets,  excluding  capitalised  development  costs,  are  not  capitalised  and 
expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. 

Capitalised Development Costs 

Research  expenditure  is  recognised  as  an  expense  as  incurred.  Costs  incurred  on  development  projects 
(relating to the design and testing of new or improved products) are recognised as intangible assets when it 
is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility and its costs 
can  be  measured  reliably.  The  expenditure  capitalised  comprises  all  directly  attributable  costs,  including 
costs  of  materials,  services  and  direct  labour.  Other  development  expenditures  that  do  not  meet  these 
criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense 
are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period.  

The  carrying  value  of  an  intangible  asset  arising  from  development  expenditure  is  tested  for  impairment 
annually  when  the  asset  is  not  yet  available  for  use,  or  more  frequently  when  an  indication  of  impairment 
arises during the reporting period. All other intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever events or 
changes in circumstances indicate that the company amount may not be recoverable.

each financial year end 

Significant estimates: Useful life of Patents and Development cost 

Patents have been assessed as having a useful life and are amortised using the straight line method over a 
period of 10 years. The patents have been granted for between 15 and 20 years by the relevant government 
agency. 

Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between 
the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognised in profit or loss when 
the asset is derecognised. 

Description of the Group’s Intangible Assets 

(a)  Development costs 

Development costs are carried  at cost  less accumulated amortisation  and accumulated impairment losses. 
The  net  development  costs  has  been  subject  to  impairment  testing.  If  an  impairment  indicator  arises,  the 
recoverable  amount  is  estimated  and  an  impairment  loss  is  recognised  to  the  extent  that  the  recoverable 
amount is lower than the carrying amount. 

(b)  Goodwill 

Goodwill  has  been  externally  acquired  and  is  carried  at  cost  less  accumulated  impairment  losses.  The 
goodwill arose on the acquisition of the remaining 50.5 per cent of Virtual Observer Pty Ltd on 28 June 2012 
and represents the difference between the purchase price and the net liabilities. This is fully impaired as at 
30 June 2018. 

(c)  Patents 

Patents  have  been  externally  acquired  and  are  carried  at  cost  less  accumulated  amortisation  and  
impairment losses. This intangible asset has been assessed as having a useful life and is amortised using 
the straight line method over a period of 10  years. The patents have been granted for between fifteen and 
twenty years by the relevant government agency. If an impairment indication arises, the recoverable amount 
is estimated and an impairment loss is recognised to the extent that the recoverable amount is lower than the 
carrying amount.

Note 10: Intangible assets (cont’d) 

(d)  Impairment 

As at 30 June 2019, the market capitalisation of DTI did not exceed its net assets, which is an indicator of 
asset  impairment  under  accounting  standards.  For  the  purpose  of  impairment  testing  the  intangibles  are 
allocated  to  one  cash-generating  unit  (CGU)  on  the  group  level.  The  recoverable  amount  of  the  CGU  was 
then  determined  using  the  value  in  use  model  which  requires  the  use  of  key  assumption  and  judgments 
relating  to  future  revenues,  anticipated  gross  margin,  growth  rates  expected  and  discount  rate.  The 
calculations use cash flow projects based on financial budgets approved by the board covering a period of 
five years.  

The board determined that the underlying assumptions supporting the impairment were sufficiently sensitive 
to  create  uncertainty  of  the  model  outcomes.  As  a  result,  the  board  has  taken  the  decision  to  impair  the 
balance of capitalised development costs by $1,493,687 (2018: $5,163,573) to a nil amount.

Provision  is made for benefits accruing to employees  in respect of  wages and salaries, annual  leave,  long 
service  leave,  and  sick  leave  when  it  is  probable  that  settlement  will  be  required  and  they  are  capable  of 
being measured reliably. Provisions made in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave 
and  sick  leave  expected  to  be  settled  within  12  months  are  measured  at  their  nominal  values  using  the 
remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.  

Provision for restructuring  represents the costs associated  with the re-organisation of the  operations of the 
business in the next six to nine months in order to improve the overall efficiency and longer-term profitability 
of the business. 

The provision for  warranty  claims represents the  present  value  of the directors’  best estimate of the future 
outflow  of  economic  benefits  that  will  be  required  under  the  group’s  obligations  for  warranties  under  local 
sale  of goods  legislation. The  estimate has been made on the basis of historical  warranty  trends and may 
vary as a result of new materials, altered manufacturing processes or other events affecting product quality.

*Balance excludes 1,942,250 Treasury Share held in trust for DESP.  

Fully paid ordinary shares carry one vote per share and carry the right to dividends.  

Ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital. 

Employee Share Plan 

The DTI Employee Share Plan (DESP) has been established by the Board to permit shares to be issued by 
the  Company  to  employees  for  no  cash  consideration  and  has  been  put  in  place  by  the  Company.  All 
permanent  employees  (excluding  directors)  who  have  been  continuously  employed  by  the  group  for  a 
period of at least one year are eligible to participate in the scheme. Employees may elect not to participate 
in the scheme.  

The shares are recognised at the closing share price on the grant date (31c on 15 April 2016) as an issue 
of treasury shares by the trust and as part of employee benefit costs over the period the shares vest. The 
share vest one third per year on the anniversary date of 15 April over the next three years. 

DTI  Capital  Pty  Ltd  (Trustee),  a  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  the  Company,  has  been  appointed  by  the 
Company  to  act  as  the  trustee  of  the  DESP.  The  Company  has  issued  2,000,000  DESP  shares  to  the 
Trustee  to  hold  for  the  benefit  of  employees  until  the  DESP  shares  cease  to  be  subject  to  any  vesting 
conditions,  at  which  time  the  DESP  shares  will  be  transferred  to  the  employee  or  sold  on  behalf  of  the 
employee, with the sale proceeds remitted to the employee. As at 30 June 2019, 57,750 shares had vested 
with eligible employees and transferred to them, 1,468,250 shares had vested with eligible employees, but 
remain registered with the Trustee. The remaining 474,000 shares has not been allocated and has lapsed 
and was forfeited. Refer to Note 17. 

Treasury shares are shares in the Company that are held by DTI Capital Ltd for issuing shares under the 
DESP.  The  shares  are  held  as  treasury  shares  until  they  are  vested.  Forfeited  DESP  shares  may  be 
reallocated in subsequent grants. 

On 20 November 2018 during the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, it was resolved that DTI would 
be  permitted  to  issue  performance  rights,  options  and  restricted  shares  under  a  new  DTI  Group  Limited 
Equity  Plan.  The  Company  has  established  the  Plan  to  assist  in  the  motivation,  retention  and  reward  of 
employees and replaces the DESP.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Note 13: Contributed equity (cont’d) 

The Plan is designed to align the interests of executives and employees with the interests of shareholders by 
providing an opportunity for the participants to receive any equity interest in the Company. At the date of this 
report 273,000 shares and 925,000 Performance Rights have been granted under this plan. 

Performance rights 

Pursuant  to  DTI  Group  Limited  Equity  Plan  the  Company  has  granted  925,000  performance  rights  to 
executives to align remuneration with the creation of shareholder value over the long-term.  

The performance rights have a  three-year  vesting period and  will  be subject to  a relative total shareholder 
return  hurdle  (RTSR  Hurdle),  which  compares  the  total  shareholder  return  performance  of  the  Group  with 
each of the entities within the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Index. The performance rights are valued using a 
hybrid option pricing model. The model uses a correlated simulation that simultaneously calculates the RTSR 
of the Company and each constituent of the Peer Group on a risk neutral basis as at the vesting date with 
regards to the performance period. The fair value at grant date each performance right issued was $0.035.

During  the  year  ended  30  June  2019,  no  performance  rights  have  vested.  The  share-based  payment 
expense recognised for the year ended 30 June 2019 was $10,792. The fair value of the performance rights 
is $32,375. 

Accounting Policy 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or 
options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. If the Company re-acquires its own 
equity instruments, for example as a result of a share buy-back, those instruments are deducted from equity 
and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and the consideration 
paid  including  any  directly  attributable  incremental  costs  (net  of  income  taxes)  is  recognised  directly  in 
equity. 

The Group’s principal financial instruments are cash, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, 
and  borrowings.  The  main  purpose  of  these  financial  instruments  is  to  raise  finance  for  the  Group’s 
operations. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade and other receivables 
and  trade  payables,  which  arise  directly  from  its  operations.  The  Group  does  not  enter  into  derivative 
transactions. The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk, 
credit  risk  and  foreign  exchange  risk.  The  Board  reviews  and  agrees  policies  for  managing  each  of  these 
risks.

Note 14: Financial risk management (cont’d) 

Net Fair Value 

The  carrying  amount  of  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  recorded  in  the  financial  statements 
represents their respective net fair values, determined in accordance with the accounting policies disclosed 
in Note 26. 

Credit Risk Exposure 
The  Group's  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk  at  reporting  date  in  relation  to  each  class  of  recognised 
financial  assets  is  the  carrying  amount  of  those  assets  as  disclosed  in  the  statement  of  financial  position. 
There are no historical default rates in respect of receivables. Cash balances and term deposits are held with 
financial institutions of minimum AA ratings. 

The  Group  applies  the  AASB  9  simplified  approach  to  measuring  expected  credit  losses  which  uses  a 
lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. 

To measure  the  expected  credit  losses,  trade  receivables  have  been  grouped  based  on  shared  credit  risk 
characteristics and the days past due. The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales 
over  a  period  of  12  month  before  1  July  2019  and  the  corresponding  historical  credit  losses  experienced 
within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on 
macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The Group identified 
the  GDP  and  unemployment  in  which  it  sells  its  goods  and  services  to  be  the  most  relevant  factors,  and 
accordingly adjusts the historical loss rates based on expected changes in these factors. 

Trade receivables are 100% credit impaired when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators 
that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage 
in a repayment plan with the group and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 
120 days past due. 

On  that  basis,  the  loss  allowance  at  the  amount  equal  to  the  expected  lifetime  credit  losses  under  the 
simplified  approach  as  at  1  July  2018  and  30  June  2019  was  determined  as  follows  for  both  trade 
receivables:

Foreign Exchange Risk 

The Group has transactions in currencies other than Australian Dollars which carry receivables and payables 
in  the  respective  currency.  These  financial  instruments  are  not  hedged.  The  Group’s  exposure  to  foreign

The Group's loan and lease arrangements are subject to fixed interest rates and therefore would not have 
been impacted by any increase/decrease in interest rates during the current year.  

Profit  is  sensitive  to  higher/lower  interest  income  from  cash  and  cash  equivalents  and  term  deposits  as  a 
result  of changes  in interest rates. At  year end  the  Group’s  bank account  was earning  interest  of 1.50  per 
cent (2018:1.50 per cent).  

Liquidity Risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The 
Board's  approach  to  managing  liquidity  is  to  ensure,  as  far  as  possible,  that  the  Group  will  always  have 
sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. As at 30 June 2019 and the date of this report, the Group 
has sufficient liquid assets to meet its financial obligations.  

Sensitivity Analysis 

Interest Rate Risk 

The Group's loan and lease arrangements are subject to fixed  interest rates and therefore  would not have 
been impacted by any increase/decrease in interest rates during the current year. Accordingly, an increase in 
interest rates would not have impacted the Group's interest expense.  

Movements in  interest rates on the Group’s bank accounts and  term deposits  would not have a significant 
impact on the Group’s results for the year. 

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk 

Based on the financial instruments held at 30 June 2019, had the Australian dollar weakened by 5 per cent 
against the US Dollar,  Euro and British Sterling,  with all other  variables held constant, the Group’s pre-tax 
results  for  the  year  would  have  been  $79,360  better  (2018:  $72,545  higher).  If  the  Australian  dollar  had 
strengthened the corresponding impact would be a reduction in pre-tax results by the same amount. 

Price Risk 

Investments held are not listed or traded in active markets and therefore no price risk arises.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Note 15: Capital management 

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to: 

•  safeguard  their  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern,  so  that  they  can  continue  to  provide  returns  for 

shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and 

•  maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. 

In  order  to  maintain  or  adjust  the  capital  structure,  the  Group  may  adjust  the  amount  of  dividends  paid  to 
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. 

Under the terms of the major borrowing facilities  with Bankwest  that  were  entered  into  in December 2018, 
the Group is required to comply with the following financial covenants: 

• 

• 

the Debtors/Gross Debt must at all times be greater than or equal to 2 times; 

tangible net worth must be greater than or equal to $10,000,000; and 

•  coverage tests – DTI Group Ltd and the guarantor must ensure that combined EBITDA for the preceding 
12-month  period  and  combined  total  assets  are  at  least  90%  of  the  Consolidated  Group’s  EBITDA  and 
Consolidated Group’s total assets respectively. 

The guarantor is defined as Virtual Observer Pty Ltd and DTI EMEA Limited. 

As at 30 June 2019, the Debtors/Gross Debt is 4 times, tangible net worth is $5,015,707 and coverage test is                      
below 90%. As the tangible net worth of $5,015,707 and coverage test falls below the requirement to support 
the  current  bank  guarantee  arrangement,  the  Group  is  not  in  compliance  with  these  covenants  at                             
30  June  2019.  However,  Bankwest  has  provided  a  waiver  for  this  non-compliance  until  the  next  review  in 
September 2019.

Note 18: Capital and leasing commitments 

Leased assets classified as finance leases are recognised as assets. The amount initially brought to account 
is  the  present  value  of  minimum  lease  payments.  Finance  leased  assets  are  amortised  on  a  diminishing 
value basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. 

Finance lease payments are allocated between interest expense and reduction of lease liability over the term 
of  the  lease.  The  interest  expense  is  determined  by  applying  the  interest  rate  implicit  in  the  lease  to  the 
outstanding  lease  liability  at  the  beginning  of  each  lease  payment  period.  Leases  in  which  a  significant 
portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Company as lessee, are classified as 
operating  leases.  Payments  made  under  operating  leases  (net  of  any  incentives  received  from  the  lessor) 
are charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a straight-
line basis over the period of the lease. 

(a)  Finance lease commitments 

The  Company  signed  two  motor  vehicle  leases  commencing  in  April  2014  and  three  motor  vehicle  leases 
commencing in November 2014. The leases are with Capital Finance Australia Ltd for a period of five years 
with lease payments paid monthly in advance. There are no terms of renewal, purchase options or escalation 
clauses in respect of the leases. 

In December 2015 and April 2016, DTI negotiated chattel mortgage loans with the ANZ bank to finance the 
purchase of specialised technical equipment for R&D. In prior year, the total amount utilised under the facility 
was  $112,966  at  interest  rates  of  3.99%  and  3.90%  respectively.  The  loans  were  fully  repaid  at                     
30 June 2019.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Note 19: Going concern 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of 
normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of 
business.  The  Group  recorded  a  loss  after  tax  of  $9.4  million  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2019                       
(2018: $11.4 million loss) and had operating cash outflows of $0.96 million (2018: $0.31 million).       

At 30 June 2019, its trade working capital (excluding cash, contract assets, contract costs, contract liabilities, 
provisions  and  borrowings)  decreased  by  $5.2  million  to  $3.5  million  (2018:  $8.7  million),  and  the  Group’s 
cash and cash equivalents decreased by $3.1 million to $2.0 million (2018: $5.1 million). At 30 June 2019, 
the  Group  is  not  in  compliance  with  its  banking  covenant  in  relation  to  its  bank  guarantee.  The  Group 
obtained a waiver from the bank for this (refer to Note 15 and 18). These conditions indicate the existence of 
a  material  uncertainty  that  may  cast  a  significant  doubt  about  the  Group's  ability  to  continue  as  a  going 
concern.  

The  ability  of  the  Group  to  continue  as  a  going  concern  is  dependent  upon  the  success  of  the  following 
measures undertaken by management:  

•  The  Group  is  expected  to  receive  an  additional  $3.0  million  of  working  capital  from  capital  raising 

subsequent to year end (refer Note 21); 

•  The  Group  has  $3.5  million  of  working  capital  as  at  30  June  2019  to  fund  its  working  capital 

requirements until the completion of capital raising;  

•  The  Group  has  sufficient  cash  at  the  date  of  this  report  to  deal  with  the  consequence  on  the  non-

compliance of its banking covenants;  

•  The Group is focused on improving commercial terms to reduce future working capital requirement and 

profitability; and  

•  The Group has recently commenced a turnaround plan and following execution of this plan, they expect 

to produce positive cash flow from operations. 

The  directors  believe  that  there  are  reasonable  grounds  that  the  Group  will  continue  as  a  going  concern. 
Should  the  Group  not  be  able  to continue  as  a  going  concern,  it  may  be  required  to  realise  its  assets  and 
discharge  its liabilities other than  in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those 
stated  in  the  financial  statements.  The  financial  statements  do  not  include  any  adjustments  relating  to  the 
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, nor to amounts or classification of liabilities that 
might be necessary should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern. 

Note 20: Contingent liabilities 

There were no contingent liabilities or assets as at 30 June 2019. 

Note 21: Events occurring after the reporting period 

On  20  August  2019,  DTI  announced  it  proposes  to  make  a  5  for  9  non-renounceable  entitlement  offer  to 
raise approximately $3 million via the issue of approximately 119.6 million new shares at 2.5 cents per share 
(Entitlement  Offer).  The  Entitlement  Offer  will  be  underwritten  by  Finico  Pty  Ltd  and  UIL  Limited  who  are 
major  shareholders  of  the  Company.  The  proceeds  of  the  capital  raising  will  provide  necessary  working 
capital  and  to  strengthen  the  Company’s  balance  sheet  for  future  growth.  Pursuant  to  the  Underwriting 
Deeds, the Underwriters also agreed to  advance  the  Underwriter Loans ($810,552 from UIL and  $971,684 
from Finico) to the Company on 20 August 2019, the repayment of which will be satisfied and offset by the 
Company via the issue of 32,422,088 New Shares to UIL and 38,867,358 New Shares to Finico under the 
proposed Entitlement Offer.

Note 21: Events occurring after the reporting period (cont’d) 

Other than what has been mentioned above, no matters or circumstance have arisen that have significantly 
affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of DTI Group Ltd, the results of those operations or the

Note 22: Earnings/(Loss) per share 

Basic Earnings / (Loss) per Share  

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:  

• 

• 

the  profit  or  loss  attributable  to  owners  of  the  company,  excluding  any  costs  of  servicing  equity  other 
than ordinary shares;  
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year,  

adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year. 

Diluted Earnings / (Loss) per Share  

Diluted earnings/(loss) per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to  
take into account:  

• 

• 

the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary 
shares; and  

the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming 
the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

retained earnings is shown above. 

(ii)  Accounting for project-based service 

In previous reporting period, the consideration received for non-refundable retainer fee is recognised as 
revenue  when  invoice  is raised  with associated cost capitalised under inventory.  Under AASB 15, the 
non-refundable retainer fee is reversed to contract liabilities and only release to revenue based on the 
progress of the project when the project commenced.  

The associated costs relating to cost to fulfil the project contract is previously recognised in inventories.   
Under AASB15, these costs are reclassified to contract costs. These costs are amortised based on the 
progress  of  the  related  projects,  consistent  with  the  pattern  of  recognition  of  the  associated  revenue.

Note 26: Summary of significant accounting policies 

Statement of Compliance 

This  financial  report  includes  the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  notes  of  the  Group.  The  financial 
report  is  a  general  purpose  financial  report  which  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  the  Corporations 
Act  2001,  Australian  Accounting  Standards,  Australian  Accounting  Interpretations,  and  other  authoritative 
pronouncements  of  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board.  The  Group’s  financial  statements  and 
accompanying notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).  

DTI  is  a  for-profit  company  limited  by  shares  incorporated  in  Australia  whose  shares  have  been  publicly 
traded on the Australian Securities Exchange from 9 December 2014. 

financial  statements  were  authorised  as  per 

The 
30 August 2019. 

the  Directors’  declaration  on  page  73  dated 

Basis of Preparation 

The financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical cost. Cost is based on the fair values of the 
consideration  given  in  exchange  for  assets.  In  the  application  of  IFRS  management  is  required  to  make 
judgments,  estimates  and  assumptions  about  carrying  values  of  assets  and  liabilities  that  are  not  readily 
apparent from other sources.   

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that 
are  believed  to  be  reasonable  under  the  circumstance,  the  results  of  which  form  the  basis  of  making  the 
judgments. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The  estimates  and  underlying  assumptions  are  reviewed  on  an  ongoing  basis.  Revisions  to  accounting 
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, 
or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. 

Refer to Note 26(g) for future disclosure on significant accounting estimates and judgement.  

Accounting Policies 

Accounting  policies  are  selected  and  applied  in  a  manner  which  ensures  that  the  resulting  financial 
information  satisfies  the  concepts  of  relevance  and  reliability,  thereby  ensuring  that  the  substance  of  the 
underlying transactions or other events is reported. 

The accounting policies set out below have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the  year 
ended  30  June  2019  and  the  comparative  information  presented  in  these  financial  statements  for  the  year 
ended 30 June 2018.  

The following  significant  accounting  policies  have  been  adopted  in  the  preparation  and  presentation  of  the 
financial report: 

(a)  Principles of consolidation 

Subsidiaries  are  all  entities  (including  structured  entities)  over  which  the  Group  has  control.  The  Group 
controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with 
the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity.

Page | 65 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Note 26: Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d) 

Subsidiaries  are  fully  consolidated  from  the  date  on  which  control  is  transferred  to  the  Group.  They  are 
deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. 

The  acquisition  method  of  accounting  is  used  to  account  for  business  combinations  by  the  Group. 
Intercompany  transactions,  balances  and  unrealised  gains  on  transactions  between  Group  companies  are 
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment 
of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure 
consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. 

(b)  Classification and initial measurement of financial assets (AASB 9 Financial Instruments) 

Accounting Policy 

The Group has adopted AASB 9 Financial Instruments with a date of initial application of 1 July 2018.  

AASB 9 Financial Instruments replaces AASB 139’s ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ 
requirements.  It  makes major  changes  to  the  previous  guidance  on  the  classification  and  measurement  of 
financial  assets  and  introduces  an  ‘expected  credit  loss’  model  for  impairment  of  financial  assets.  When 
adopting  AASB  9,  the  Group  elected  not  to  restate  prior  periods.  Rather,  differences  arising  from  the 
adoption  of  AASB  9  in  relation  to  classification,  measurement,  and  impairment  are  recognised  in  opening   
retained earnings as at 1 July 2018.  

As  a  result  of  the  adoption  of  AASB  9,  the  impairment  of  financial  assets  using  the  expected  credit  loss 
model  applies  now  to  the  Group’s  trade  receivables.  For  contract  assets  arising  from  AASB  15  and  trade 
receivables, the Group applies a simplified model of recognising lifetime expected credit loss as these items 
do not have a significant financing component.  

Recognition and derecognition  

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual 
provisions of the financial instrument. 

Financial  assets  are  derecognised  when  the  contractual  rights  to  the  cash  flows  from  the  financial  asset 
expire,  or  when  the  financial  asset  and  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  are  transferred.  A  financial 
liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires. 

Financial assets are classified according to their business model and the characteristics of their contractual 
cash flows and are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable). 

Subsequent measurement of financial assets 

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets, other than those designated and effective as 
hedging instruments, are classified into the following four categories: 

•  Financial assets at amortised cost 
•  Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) 
•  Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) 
•  Equity instruments at FVTOCI

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Note 26: Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d) 

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within 
finance  costs,  finance  income  or  other  financial  items,  except  for  impairment  of  trade  receivables  which  is 
presented within other expenses. 

Financial assets at amortised cost 

Financial assets with contractual cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest and held 
within a business model of ‘hold to collect’ contractual cash flows are accounted for at amortised cost using 
the effective interest method. The Group’s trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial 
instruments. 

Impairment of financial assets 

AASB 9’s new forward looking impairment model applies to Group’s investments at amortised cost and debt 
instruments at FVTOCI. The application of the new impairment model depends on whether there has been a 
significant increase in credit risk. 

Trade and other receivables and contract assets 

The  Group  makes  use  of  a  simplified  approach  in  accounting  for  trade  and  other  receivables  as  well  as 
contract assets and records the loss allowance at the amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. In 
using  this  practical  expedient,  the  Group  uses  its  historical  experience,  external  indicators  and  forward 
looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix (Refer Note 14).  
Impact of the new impairment model  

For  assets  in  the  scope  of  the  AASB  9  impairment  model,  impairment  losses  are  generally  expected  to 
increase.  The  Group  has  determined  that  the  application  of  AASB  9’s  impairment  requirements  at  1  July 
2018 results in an additional impairment allowances as follows.

(c)  Foreign currency 

Functional and presentation currency 

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of 
the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’).  

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional 
and presentation currency.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Note 26: Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d) 

Transactions and balances 

Foreign  currency  transactions  are  translated  into  the  functional  currency  using  the  exchange  rates  at  the 
dates  of  the  transactions.  Foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  resulting  from  the  settlement  of  such 
transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at 
year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss. They are deferred in equity if they relate 
to  qualifying  cash  flow  hedges  and  qualifying  net  investment  hedges  or  are  attributable  to  part  of  the  net 
investment in a foreign operation. 

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the consolidated statement of 
profit  or  loss  in  finance  costs.  All  other  foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  are  presented  in  the  income 
statement on a net basis within other income or other expenses. 

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange 
rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried 
at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.  

For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value 
through  profit  or  loss  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  as  part  of  the  fair  value  gain  or  loss  and  translation 
differences  on  non-monetary  assets  such  as  equities  classified  as  available-for-sale  financial  assets  are 
recognised in other comprehensive income. 

Group companies 

The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary 
economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the 
presentation currency as follows: 

• 

• 

• 

assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate 
at the date of that statement of financial position; 
income  and  expenses  for  each  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income  are 
translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative 
effect  of  the  rates  prevailing  on  the  transaction  dates,  in  which  case  income  and  expenses  are 
translated at the dates of the transactions); and 
all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. 

(d)  Goods and services tax 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except: 

• 

• 

where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part 
of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the item of expense; or 
for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST. 

The  net  amount  of  GST  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  taxation  authority  is  included  as  part  of 
receivables or payables.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows 
arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority 
is classified as operating cash flows. 

(e)  Comparative Figures 

Where required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in 
presentation for the current financial year. 

(f)  New accounting standards and Australian accounting interpretations 

New and amended accounting standards adopted 

New and amended standards adopted by the Group 

The Group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for their annual reporting 
period commencing 1 July 2018: 

•  AASB 9 Financial Instruments  
•  AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 
•  AASB  2016-5  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  -  Classification  and  Measurement  of 

Share-based Payment Transactions 

•  AASB  2017-1  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  -  Transfers  to  Investment  Property, 

Annual Improvements 2014-2016 Cycle and Other Amendments 

The  Group  had  to  change  its  accounting  policies  following  the  adoption  of  AASB  9  and  AASB  15.  This  is 
disclosed in Note 2 and Note 26. 

Other  than  AASB  9  and  AASB  15,  the  other  amendments  listed  above  did  not  have  any  impact  on  the 
amounts recognised in prior and current periods.

New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted 

Certain  new  accounting  standards  and  interpretations  have  been  published  that  are  not  mandatory  for                     
30  June  2019  reporting  periods  and  have  not  yet  been  applied  in  the  financial  report.  The  Group’s 
assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.

Nature of 
Change to 
Accounting 
Policy 
AASB 16 
eliminates the 
operating and 
finance lease 
classifications for 
leases currently 
accounted for 
under AASB 117 
Leases. It instead 
requires an entity 
to bring most 
leases onto its 
balance sheet in 
a similar way to 
how existing 
finance leases 
are treated under 
AASB 117.  

An entity will be 
required to 
recognise a lease 
liability and a right 
of use asset in its 
balance sheet for 
most leases. 
There are some 
optional 
exemptions for 
leases with a 
period of 12 
months or less 
and for low value 
leases.  

Impact 
To the extent that the entity, 
as lessee, has operating 
leases outstanding at the 
date of initial application, 1 
January 2019, right-of-use 
assets will be recognised for 
the amount of the 
unamortised portion of the 
useful life, and the lease 
liabilities will be recognised at 
the present value of the 
outstanding lease payments. 
Thereafter, earnings before 
interest, depreciation, 
amortisation and tax 
(EBITDA) will increase 
because operating lease 
expenses currently included 
in EBITA will be recognised 
instead as amortisation of the 
right-of-use asset, and 
interest expense on the lease 
liability.  

However, there will be an 
overall reduction in net profit 
before tax in the early years 
of a lease because the 
amortisation and interest 
charges will exceed the 
current straight line expense 
incurred under AASB 117 
Leases.  

This trend will reverse in the 
later years. The Group will 
make a more detailed 
assessment of the impact 
over the next 12 months.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Note 26: Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d) 

(g)  Significant accounting estimates and judgements 

Revenue recognition 

The  recognition  of  revenue  detailed  in  Note  2  relating  to  project-based  services  is  subject  to  the 
management’s judgement on measurement of progress towards satisfaction of performance obligation using 
the input method. The Group also did not recognise revenue when management has determined that it was 
not highly probable that a portion of the revenue will not reverse.  

When  management  determine  multiple  distinct  performance  obligations  in  a  contract,  transaction  price  is 
allocated based on stand-alone selling price of the product or service sold. The stand-alone selling price is 
estimated on the basis of the retail price.  

Inventory obsolescence 

Inventories  are  accounted  for  in  accordance  with  the  accounting  policy  detailed  in  Note  8.  Where  the  net 
realisable  value  of  inventory is  lower  than  its  cost  the  Group  recognises  a  provision  for  inventory 
obsolescence. At 30 June 2019 management has determined $2,668,910 (2018: $2,045,819) of impairment 
is required for inventory where net realisable value is lower than its cost. 

Development costs capitalised 

Development costs are carried  at cost  less accumulated amortisation  and accumulated impairment losses. 
The  net  development  costs  has  been  subject  to  impairment  testing.  If  an  impairment  indication  arises,  the 
recoverable  amount  is  estimated  and  an  impairment  loss  is  recognised  to  the  extent  that  the  recoverable 
amount is lower than the carrying amount. 

Impairment 

As at 30 June 2019, the market capitalisation of DTI did not exceed its net assets, which is an indicator of 
asset  impairment  under  accounting  standards.  For  the  purpose  of  impairment  testing  the  intangibles  are 
allocated  to  one  cash-generating  unit  (CGU)  on  the  group  level.  The  recoverable  amount  of  the  CGU  was 
then  determined  using  the  value  in  use  model  which  requires  the  use  of  key  assumption  and  judgments 
relating  to  future  revenues,  anticipated  gross  margin,  growth  rates  expected  and  discount  rate.  The 
calculations use cash flow projects based on financial budgets approved by the board covering a period of 
five  years.  The  Board  determined  that  the  underlying  assumptions  supporting  the  impairment  were 
sufficiently  sensitive  to  create  uncertainty  of  the  model  outcomes.  As  a  result,  the  Board  has  taken  the 
decision  to  impair  the  balance  of  capitalised  development  costs  by  $1,493,687  (2018:  $5,163,573)  to  a  nil 
amount. 

Amortisation of intangible assets 

Intangible  assets  are  amortised  over  their  useful  lives  (5  to  10  years).  Amortisation  commences  when  the 
asset is available for commercial sale.  

Share-based payment transactions 

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value 
of the equity instruments at the dated at which they are granted. The fair value is the ASX share price.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of DTI Group Ltd

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of DTI Group Ltd (the Company or DTI) and its subsidiaries (the
Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement
of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes
to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’
declaration.

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

(i)

Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

(ii)

Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for opinion

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

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

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

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We draw attention to Note 19 in the financial report which describes the events and conditions which
give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group’s
ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its assets and
discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this
matter.

BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275,
an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd and BDO Australia Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and
form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

Key audit matters

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

Recoverability of Inventory

Key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

As disclosed in Note 8 of the financial report, an
impairment of inventory and provision for
inventory obsolescence was recognised.

This area is considered a key audit matter given
the nature of inventories, the carrying value of
inventory and the extent of management
estimates and judgements involved in assessing
inventory impairment and provisioning for
obsolescence.

Refer to Note 8 and Note 26 of the financial
report for a description of the accounting policy
and significant estimates and judgements applied
to these arrangements.

Our procedures included, but were not limited
to:

· Performing a price test on the cost of a
sample of inventory by agreeing the
purchase price as per supplier invoice to the
inventory listing; and

· Performing a net realisable value test on a
sample of inventory by obtaining the latest
sales invoice of the samples and assessing
that the sale price of the samples exceeds
its cost price;

· Assessing and testing management’s position
paper and assessment over slow moving and
obsolete inventory of the Group; and

· Assessing the adequacy of financial report

disclosures.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

DTI generates a significant portion of its revenue
from customer contracts for the provision,
installation and maintenance of equipment as
disclosed in Note 2.

The group has applied AASB 15 “Revenue from
contracts with customers” (‘AASB 15’) from 1
July 2018 using the cumulative effect method.

Revenue recognition was determined to be a key
audit matter as this area involves significant
judgments and estimates made by management
including whether contracts contain multiple
performance obligations which should be
accounted for separately and the most
appropriate method of recognition of revenue
for the identified performance obligations. This
comprises allocation of consideration to the
individual performance obligations based on its
standalone pricing and whether the performance
obligation is satisfied at a point in time or
overtime.  Furthermore performance obligations
that are satisfied overtime requires assessment
of the degree of completion of the project based
contracts.

The Group’s disclosures in relation to its revenue
accounting policy and significant judgements
applied in revenue recognition are disclosed in
Note 2 and Note 26.

Our procedures included, but were not limited to
the following:

· Discussing with management and critically
assessing the financial impact of the new
revenue standard and changes to the Group’s
revenue recognition policies on transition 1
July 2018;

· Reviewing DTI’s revenue recognition policies
across all revenue streams and ensuring
compliance with the accounting standard;

· Obtaining and reviewing a sample of key
contracts, considering the terms and
conditions, performance obligations of these
arrangements, its stand-alone pricing and
assessing the accounting treatment under AASB
15;

· Challenging management’s assessment of the

performance obligations promised to customers
within a contract;

· Vouching a sample of revenue and other

revenue transactions to supporting
documentation;

· Performing cut-off testing to ensure revenue

is recorded in the relevant period;

· Performing detailed analytical procedures
over revenue, cost of sales and margins
including comparison to prior period and BDO
expectations to identify unusual trends or
onerous projects;

· Enquiring and reviewing credit notes issued

post year end which relates to year ending 30
June 2019;

· Reviewing contract balances to ascertain that

they has been accounted for accurately;

· Reviewing disclosures in Note 2 and Note 26 in
the financial report and ensuring compliance
with the accounting standard.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the
information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not include the
financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.

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

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

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

Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion.  Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists.  Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:

http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
