Review of Financial Condition 

FY20 Financial Performance 

During  the  year  ended  30  June  2020  DTI  recorded  revenue  of  $14.1  million  (2019:  $19.2 million).    This 
represents a 27 per cent decrease compared to the prior year and is attributed to the delay in completion of 
major  projects  as  a  result  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic.    DTI’s  revenue  continues  to  be  largely  dependent 
upon capital projects during the year. There is an ongoing focus on securing revenue from maintenance, and 
software  licensing.   Revenue from these sources were $2.3  million (2019: $2.5 million)  which represents a 
6 per cent decrease compared to the prior year.  Sale on products of $4.03 million (2019:$8.3 million) which 
represents a 51 per cent decrease compared to prior year were predominantly hampered by the COVID-19 
worldwide disruption to the supply chain resulting in slow down of sales in this sector. 

DTI recorded negative EBITDA of $2.2 million for the year ended 30 June 2020 (2019: negative $8.2 million).  
Reported  EBITDA  was  adversely  impacted  by  the  identification  and  additional  impairment  of  several  older 
contracts with low or negative margins and a warranty claim due to a fleet-wide defect equipment failure.  

Corporate overheads of $2.3 million (2019: $3.4 million) decreased by 31 per cent compared to prior year. 
This  decrease  is  largely  due  to  decreases  in  employee  benefits,  legal,  professional  and  consulting  fees. 
Overall  employee benefits  for the group  has reduced  to $6.1  million (2019: $7.4  million) which was  17  per 
cent lower than prior year. 

Underlying EBITDA 

During the year DTI recorded a number of non-recurring expenses attributed to events from earlier reporting 
periods.  In order to present an underlying EBITDA result, these items have been identified in the following 
table:

The underlying EBITDA loss of $0.86 million in current year has improved 
by $2.26 million compared to the previous year’s underlying EBITDA loss 
of $3.12 million. The improvement is primarily attributable to:  

i)  Reduction in operational overhead costs; 

ii)  Reduction in corporate overhead costs; 

iii)  Reduction in employee costs; 

iv)  Reduction in depreciation/amortisation costs; and  

v)  Reduction in total impairment expense due to better quality of 

new contracts and greater control of older contracts. 

Impairment of contract costs: 

Warranty claim: 

Cash Flow

its  carrying  value  exceeds 

Regular  reviews  of  capitalised  contract  costs  have  been  undertaken  to 
its  recoverable  amounts. 
ensure 
Capitalised contract costs are impaired if its recoverable amount is lower 
than  its  carrying  amounts.  The  capitalised  contract  costs  are  not 
considered  to  be  recoverable  if  the  projects  are  forecasted  to  make 
negative gross margins.  
A  warranty  claim  was  brought  about  by  a  major  customer  following  the 
fleet-wide defect of a component that required a fleet wide replacement. A 
claim  has  been  submitted  to  our  insurance  company  and  is  pending 
further  review.  The  Company  has  provided  a  provision  in  relation  to  this 
warranty claim. 

During  the  year,  DTI  generated  negative  cash  flow  from  operations  of  $1.16 million  (2019:  negative  $0.96 
million).  Net cash inflow for the year was $0.65 million.  Key factors impacting on net cash flow included: 

i)  Capital injection of $3.0 million from shareholders.  

ii)  $0.93 million has been allocated to support bank guarantees as required to fulfill contract obligations.

Directors’ Report 

iii)  Capital R&D activities have been reduced (as resources focus primarily on existing rail projects or those 

that can use existing products) compared to prior year of $2.02 million; 

iv)  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.  DTI has reduced focus on the more complex Rail projects requiring bespoke engineering. 

v)  On  31  January  2020,  the  World  Health  Organisation  (WHO)  announced  a  global  health  emergency 
because of a new strain of coronavirus and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads 
globally  beyond  its  point  of  origin.  Due  to  the  rapid  increase  in  global  exposure,  WHO  classified  the 
COVID-19  outbreak  as  a  pandemic.  Besides  the  serious  public  health  threat  that  has  arisen  from  the 
outbreak of COVID-19, it continues to have serious economic impacts on many of DTI’s suppliers. The 
impact of COVID-19 has resulted in the constraint in DTI’s supply chain cycle, resulting in a delay in our 
cash inflow and the deferral of significant project revenue to next financial year. 

Financial Position 

As at the end of the financial year, DTI maintained positive cash reserves of $2.7 million and sufficient levels 
of  liquid  working  capital.    DTI  has  no  term  debt  and  the  only  financial  indebtedness  relates  to  insurance 
premium funding.   

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 FY21 
and beyond. 

Operational performance 

Throughout  the  FY20  DTI  won  a  number  of  significant  new  contracts  on  the  basis  of  its  unique  product 
offering.  DTI was awarded the following projects which we expect to improve the Company’s overall margin 
as they are delivered : 

•  Alstom  India  Limited  for  the  design,  manufacture  and  supply  of  a  public  address,  closed  circuit 
television  and  information  system  (PACIS)  in  support  of  the  Sydney  Metro  Southwest  rail  project, 
with expected revenue in excess of $11.0 million to be derived over the next 18 months;  

•  Xtrapolis  Class  Train  Hearing  Aid  Loop  Upgrade  Project  with  MTM  for  a  contract  value  of  $1.7 

million; and  

•  Two-year contract for the Brisbane City Council Bus Maintenance for CCTV systems with an annual 

value of $0.69 million. 

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

Directors’ Report 

continuing  to  supply  its  mobile  video  surveillance  solutions  to  long  term  customers  in  San  Francisco  and 
Philadelphia. 

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. 

Outlook 

Opportunity Pipeline 

DTI continues to enjoy strong demand for its products and services with an Opportunity Pipeline exceeding 
$50 million.  FY20 was a challenging year for the Group with a significant focus on reducing overheads and 
introducing operational efficiencies 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 FY21. A large number of markets indicate major new investment in either new fleets 
or retrofit of existing fleets. This should position DTI well, as DTI has a proven suite of products that can be 
offered for these opportunities.  

Order Book 

DTI continued to secure new projects including a large rail project with Alstom for new trains in Sydney. This 
project  includes  core  technology  offerings  for  passenger  information,  hearing  loop,  CCTV  and  emergency 
communications.  The  X’trapolis  class  train  hearing  aid  loop  project  for  Metro  Trains  Melbourne  (MTM)  was 
also secured. 

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 FY21, 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  that  will  assist  operators 
and governments in monitoring passengers are complying with COVID-19 guidelines. 

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 FY21  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 
ttention.

Directors’ Report 

Dividends 

In  respect  of  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2020,  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 

The  impact  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic  is  ongoing  and  while  we  have  disclosed  its  impact  on  the  Group’s 
results up to 30 June 2020, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the 
reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian 
Government  and  other  countries,  such  as  maintaining  social  distancing  requirements,  quarantine,  travel 
restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided. 

No  matters  or  circumstances  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 closed circuit TV, 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.

Indemnification of officers and auditors 

The Company has also agreed to indemnify the current Directors of its controlled entities for all liabilities to 
another  person  (other  than  the  Company  or  a  related  body  corporate)  that  may  arise  from  their  position, 
except where the liability arises out of conduct involving a lack of good faith.  The agreement stipulates that 
the Company will meet the full amount of any such liabilities, including costs and expenses. 

During the financial year, the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring the Directors of the 
Company and all executive officers of the Company against a liability incurred as such Director, secretary or 
executive officer to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001.  The contract of insurance prohibits 
disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium. 

The Company has not otherwise,  during  or since  the financial year, indemnified or agreed  to  indemnify an 
officer  or  auditor  of  the  Company  or  of  any  related  body  corporate  against  a  liability  incurred  as  such  an 
officer or auditor. 

Non-audit services 

The Board is satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the year is compatible with the general 
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. 

The  nature  of  the  services  provided  does  not  compromise  the  general  principles  relating  to  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 2020 were $6,605 (2019: $7,593) in relation to UK Tax services.

Unless otherwise stated, the named persons held their current position for the whole of the financial year and 
since the end of the financial year.   

Remuneration Policy 

Non-Executive Directors 

Non-Executive Directors receive a Board fee 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.  The  maximum  annual  aggregate  Directors’  fee  pool  limit  is 
$250,000 and the current total is well under this amount. 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  in  the  past  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  the  incoming  Chief  Executive 
Officer was a participant 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 FY20.   

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 FY20, expressed as a percentage of total remuneration, if maximum performance was 
achieved for the STI and LTI components of their variable components.

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.

Directors’ Report 

Audited Remuneration Report 

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.

Adoption of Remuneration Report  

At  the  2019  Annual  General  Meeting,  the  resolution  adopting  the  2019  Remuneration  Report  was  carried 
unanimously. 

The  Company  received  more  than  99.7  per  cent  of  “yes”  votes  on  its  Remuneration  Report  for  the  2019 
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. 

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Directors made pursuant to section 298(2) of the Corporations 
Act 2001.

Note 2: Revenue and expenses 

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.  

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  change.  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  this  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 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.  

An  impairment  loss  of  $1,402,733  (2019:  $500,000)  has  therefore  been  recognised  for  the  excess  of  the 
capitalised cost over the expected remaining consideration less any directly related costs not yet recognised 
as expense.

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.  

D.  Contract balances and contract costs (cont’d) 

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 2020 that was included  in the contract liability balance at 
the beginning of the period is $2,144,191 (2019: Nil). 

The amount of revenue recognised for the year ended 30 June 2020 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 2020 is $32.1 million (2019: $21.6 million).  

Management  expects  that  66%  of  the  transaction  price  allocated  to  the  unsatisfied  contracts  as  of                
30  June  2020  will  be  recognised  as  revenue  during  the  next  reporting  period.  The  remaining  34%  will  be 
recognised  between  2022  to  2025  financial  year.  The  amount  disclosed  above  does  not  include  variable 
consideration which is constrained.

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: 

(ii) Jobkeeper payment 

COVID-19 has presented a fast evolving and significant challenge to global health systems and economies. 
The  Australian  Government  has  provided  Jobkeeper  Payment  to  eligible  employers  who  continue  to  retain 
their  employees.  The  company  meets  the  requirement  for  the  existing  JobKeeper  Payment  until 
27 September 2020.  During  fourth  quarter  of  FY20,  the  Company  received  $396,000  in  JobKeeper 
Payments from the government. 

(iii) Cash flow boosts income  

Temporary cash flow boosts were provided by the government to support small and medium businesses and 
not-for-profit  organisations  during  the  economic  downturn  associated  with  COVID-19.  Eligible  businesses 
who  employ  staff  will  receive  between  $20,000  to  $100,000  in  cash  flow  boost  amounts  by  lodging  their 
activity  statements  up  to  the  month  or  quarter  of  September  2020.  During  fourth  quarter  of  FY20,  the 
Company received $50,000 in cash flow boost amounts from the government.

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

Other  receivables  –  cash  deposit  includes  cash  backing  deposits  associated  with  the  issue  of  bank 
guarantee to a major customer and the lessor. These deposits are therefore not available for general use by 
the Group. Refer to Note 7. 

(a)  Impaired trade receivables 

At 30 June 2020 current trade receivables of the Group with a value of nil (2019: $348,326) 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 recognised from AASB 9 – initial 
adoption  
Receivable written off during the year as uncollectable 
Amount recovered

      556,530  

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 2020 trade receivables of $1,039,057 (2019: $784,333) 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.

Accounting Policy 

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. 

Shareholder Loan 

On 20 August 2019, DTI made 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  was  underwritten  by  Finico  Pty  Ltd  and  UIL  Limited  who  are  major  shareholders  of  the 
Company.  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. 

Premium Funding 

In December 2019, the Company financed its insurance premiums with the funds to be repaid within the next 
10 months. This facility is secured against the insurance policies. 

Financing Facility 

The Group had a $3.5 million, multi-option, multi-currency funding package with the bank. The $3.5 million 
facility  covers  the  Group’s  working  capital,  bonding  and  overdraft  facilities  and  encompasses  sub-limits  for 
certain facilities. At 30 June 2019, the Group was not in compliance with its banking covenant in relation to 
its bank guarantee and obtained a waiver from the bank for this. From November 2019, the Group revised its 
facility to a $1.55 million bank guarantee facility. Moving forward, the bank requires the Group to provide a 
cash deposit for an amount equal to the sum of its utilisation of the facility with no requirements to meet any 
banking  covenants.    As  at  30  June  2020,  the  utilisation  of  the  facility  remains  at  $930,082,  with  the 
equivalent restricted cash deposit in place. Refer to Note 5.

In  prior  financial  year,  an  impairment  adjustment  of  $2,668,910  was  provided  for  components  and  finished 
goods  relating  to  projects  that  were  not  deemed  to  be  recoverable.  Of  this  amount,  $1,174,042  has  been 
reclassified  as  provision  for  inventory  obsolescence.  No  further  provision  for  inventory  obsolescence                    
(2019:  $Nil)  has  been  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.

Note 9: Property, plant and equipment (cont’d) 

Accounting Policy 

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is 
directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. 

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

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

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.

Annually for assets not yet 
available for use and more 
frequently when an 
indication of impairment 
exists. The amortisation 
method is reviewed at 
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)  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) 

(c)  Impairment 

As  at  30  June  2020,  the  market  capitalisation  of  DTI  exceeded  its  net  assets,  which  means  there  is  no 
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  sufficient.  As  a 
result,  the  board  has  taken  no  decision  to  impair  the  balance  of  capitalised  development  costs  (2019: 
$1,493,687).

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 1,593,975 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, 474,000 shares has not 
been  allocated  and  has  lapsed  and  was  forfeited,  while  1,468,250  shares  had  vested  with  eligible 
employees.  During  30  June  2020,  348,275  shares  had  been  transferred  to  eligible  employees,  while                          
1,119,975 shares remain registered with the Trustee.  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.

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  2020,  no  performance  rights  have  vested.  The  share-based  payment 
expense recognised for the year ended 30 June 2020 was $5,396. 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  2020  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  2019  and  30  June  2020  was  determined  as  follows  for  both  trade 
receivables:

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.  

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 1.0 per cent 
(2019:1.50 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 2020 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 2020, 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  $29,601  better  (2019:  $79,360  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. 

Financing Facility 

The Group had a $3.5 million, multi-option, multi-currency funding package with the bank. The $3.5 million 
facility  covers  the  Group’s  working  capital,  bonding  and  overdraft  facilities  and  encompasses  sub-limits  for 
certain facilities. At 30 June 2019, the Group was not in compliance with its banking covenant in relation to 
its bank guarantee and obtained a waiver from the bank for this. From November 2019, the Group revised its 
facility to a $1.55 million bank guarantee facility. Moving forward, the bank requires the Group to provide a 
cash deposit for an amount equal to the sum of its utilisation of the facility with no requirements to meet any 
banking  covenants.    As  at  30  June  2020,  the  utilisation  of  the  facility  remains  at  $930,082,  with  the 
equivalent restricted cash deposit in place. Refer to Note 5 and Note 7.

Note 18: Right of use asset & lease liabilities (cont’d) 

In  the  previous  year,  the  group  only  recognised  lease  assets  and  lease  liabilities  in  relation  to  leases  that 
were  classified  as  ‘finance  leases’  under  AASB  117  Leases.  The  assets  were  presented  in  property,  plant 
and equipment and the liabilities as part of the group’s borrowings. For adjustments recognised on adoption 
of AASB 16 on 1 January 2019, please refer to Note 25.

The group leases a land. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 5 years. Lease terms are 
negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease 
agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing 
purposes.  Until the end of the financial year ended 30 June 2019, leases of property, plant and equipment 
were classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received 
from the lessor) were charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease for the 
2019 financial year. 

From 1 July 2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at 
which the leased asset is available for use by the group. Each lease payment is allocated between the 
liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce 
a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use 
asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.  

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities 
include the net present value of the fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments). 

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be 
determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay 
to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with 
similar terms and conditions.   

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:  

the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability  

• 
•  any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received  

Payments associated with short-term leases are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit 
or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.

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  $2.7  million  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2020                      
(2019: $9.4 million loss) and had operating cash outflows of $1.16 million (2019: $0.96 million outflow).       

These  conditions  indicate  the  existence  of  a  material  uncertainty  that  may  cast  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’s cash and cash equivalents increased by $0.7 million to $2.7 million (2019: $2.0 million); 
•  The  Group  has  $3.6  million  of  working  capital  as  at  30  June  2020  to  fund  its  working  capital 

requirements;  

•  The  Group  continues  to  focus  on  improving  commercial  terms  to  reduce  future  working  capital 
requirements and improve profitability by negotiating with customers and improving its bidding process to 
secure more favourable terms; and  

•  The  Group  continues  to  implement  its  turnaround  plan  and  is  closely  executing  this  plan  with  the 

expectation of producing positive cash flow from operations and managing cost to budget. 

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 2020. 

Note 21: Events occurring after the reporting period 

The  impact  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic  is  ongoing  and  while  we  have  disclosed  its  impact  on  the  Group’s 
results up to 30 June 2020, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the 
reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian 
Government  and  other  countries,  such  as  maintaining  social  distancing  requirements,  quarantine,  travel 
restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided. 

No  matters  or  circumstances  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.

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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Note 25: Changes in accounting policies  

This note explains the impact of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases on the Group’s financial statements and 
discloses the new accounting policies that have been applied from 1 July 2019 in Note 25 (a) below.  

The Group has adopted AASB 16 retrospectively from 1 July 2019 but has not restated comparatives for the 
2018  reporting  period,  as  permitted  under  the  specific  transitional  provisions  in  the  standard.  The 
reclassifications  and  the  adjustments  arising  from  the  new  leasing  rules  are  therefore  recognised  in  the 
opening balance sheet on 1 July 2019. 

(a)  Adjustments recognised on adoption of AASB 16 

On  adoption  of  AASB  16,  the  group  recognised  lease  liabilities  in  relation  to  leases  which  had  previously 
been  classified  as  ‘operating  leases’  under  the  principles  of  AASB117  Leases.  These  liabilities  were 
measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental 
borrowing rate as of 1 July 2019. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the 
lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 9.6%.  

Operating lease commitments disclosed as at 30 June 2019 (Discounted at 11%) 
Less: Commitments exited at 30 June 2019 for short term leases (Discounted at 11%) 
Add:  Difference in effects between discounting rates as at 30 June 2019 (11%) and  
the Group’s incremental borrowing rate (9.6%) at the date of initial application of  
1 July 2019 

Lease liability recognised as at 1 July 2019  
Of which are:  
     Current lease liabilities  
     Non-current lease liabilities

      178,331  
      208,388  
      386,719  

The  associated  right-of-use  assets  for  property  leases  were  measured  on  a  retrospective  basis  at  the 
amount  equal  to  the  lease  liability,  adjusted  by  the  amount  of  any  prepaid  or  accrued  lease  payments 
relating  to  that  lease  recognised  in  the  balance  sheet  as  at  30  June  2019.  There  were  no  onerous  lease 
contracts that would have required an adjustment to the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application.  

The recognised right-of-use assets relate to the following types of assets:

Note 25: Changes in accounting policies (cont’d) 

(a)  Adjustments recognised on adoption of AASB 16 

(i) Practical expedients applied  

In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the 
standard: 

• 
• 
• 

• 

the use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics  
reliance on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous  
the  accounting  for  operating  leases  with  a  remaining  lease  term  of  less  than  12  months  as  at                     
1 July 2019 as short-term leases  
the  use  of  hindsight  in  determining  the  lease  term  where  the  contract  contains  options  to  extend  or 
terminate the lease.  

The  group  has  also  elected  not  to  reassess  whether  a  contract  is  or  contains  a  lease  at  the  date  of  initial 
application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date the group relied on its assessment 
made applying AASB 117 and Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.

the  Directors’  declaration  on  page  65  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 further disclosure on significant accounting estimates and judgement.

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

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  2020  and  the  comparative  information  presented  in  these  financial  statements  for  the  year 
ended 30 June 2019.  

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.  

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) 

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).  

(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.  

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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

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

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 standards adopted by the Group 

A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period and the Group 
had to change its accounting policies and make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting AASB 16 
Leases.  

The impact of the adoption of the leasing standard and the new accounting policies are disclosed in Note 25. 
The  other  standards  did  not  have  any  impact  on  the  Group’s  accounting  policies  and  did  not  require 
retrospective adjustments.

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 2020 management has determined no impairment (2019: $2,668,910) 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  2020,  the  market  capitalisation  of  DTI  exceeded  its  net  assets,  which  means  there  is  no 
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 
sufficient.  As  a  result,  the  board  has  taken  no  decision  to  impair  the  balance  of  capitalised  development 
costs (2019: $1,493,687). 

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 date at which they are granted. The fair value is the ASX share price.

Australia 

We  have  audited  the  financial  report  of  DTI  Group  Ltd  (the  Company)  and  its  subsidiaries  (the  Group), 
which  comprises  the  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2020,  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 2020 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 (including Independence Standards) (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/or  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

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.

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 2020, but does not include the fin- ancial 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 at:
