At the same time our focus remained on growth, with a strategic acquisition delivering international expansion in our core billing business in the European market. Over the past four years our business has experienced strong growth. We have successfully integrated a number of businesses into the Hansen family over that time while continuing to service our existing customers to the highest standard. The Company’s growth and profit performance is an achievement of which all Hansen staff can be proud. We wish to extend our congratulations and thanks to the 540-plus staff across the globe whose contribution and commitment has delivered this outstanding result. The acquisition of the TeleBilling business in May 2015 increased our presence in Europe and strengthens our offering in the telecommunications market. This is an exciting business that has made an immediate contribution to the Group’s performance. This natural addition to the Hansen business complements Hansen’s existing customer care and billing products and provides a critical mass of established telecommunications and Pay TV clients. We are delighted by the way the TeleBilling staff have responded to joining the Hansen team. Their level of commitment to the transition process has been excellent and we look forward to the strong growth opportunities available across the markets serviced by TeleBilling. Other highlights for Fiscal 2015: • continued to expand and cross train our international delivery teams, improving staff utilisation and our delivery capability; • raised $27 million via equity placements during the year. With the announcement of the TeleBilling acquisition, an institutional placement at $2.17 per share raised $15 million. Following the placement, a Share Purchase Plan was offered to all eligible shareholders at $2.17. The Share Purchase Plan was well supported, raising an additional $12 million. This capital was used to retire the debt created at the time of the TeleBilling acquisition; • further enhanced our financial reporting capabilities, expanding on the level of management reporting available to the business across industry verticals and the regional management structure. Operational performance across the year was strong, assisted by the weakening of the Australian dollar against all major currencies. A direct presence in these overseas geographies limits any currency benefit to the profit margin, as increases in revenue due to foreign exchange are somewhat offset by expenses in the same businesses. This year we completed the integration of the Banner business acquired in May 2014. This business has grown our utility billing business and introduced us to the municipality market in the USA, whilst the Banner customers have been impressed by Hansen’s commitment to delivering further enhancements to the product suite. Hansen people The results are the culmination of a great many people’s ongoing efforts to deliver outstanding service on a daily basis. We are very fortunate to have a large number of industry experts supported by multi-skilled teams that deliver positive outcomes to our customers each and every day. We continued to grow our offering to the telecommunications and Pay TV market. We have been able to capitalise on opportunities in emerging markets delivering growth from our existing customers and maximising new opportunities. The recently announced multi-year licensing agreement with the Hinduja Group in India brings Hansen’s ICC (Intelligent Customer Care) billing solution to one of the fastest growing Pay TV markets in the world. Hansen’s offering was recognised for its powerful and flexible multi-company, multi-tenancy architecture. In established markets this capability is further enhanced with NaviBilling (TeleBilling product), providing the ability to deliver a ‘Quadplay’ billing solution to the telecommunications market. NaviBilling customers can combine the service provision of fixed line, mobile, internet and Pay TV on the one bill. We would like to take this opportunity to record our continued appreciation to all our staff across the world. The quality of our people and their commitment to our success is second to none. As our business continues to grow overseas we now have approximately 60% of our workforce based outside of Australia. Our major presence outside of Australia includes the United States, China, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Denmark. With our worldwide team now exceeding 540 people it is a credit to the Board and executive and management team, whose strategy has ensured the integration of these people into a true international team focused on customer delivery. 2 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015Highlights $106.3 million Operating revenue up 24% $16.9 million After tax profit up 14% $31.3 million 10.3 cents EBITDA up 30% Earnings per share up 12% Annual Report 2015 Hansen Technologies Ltd 3 Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Joint Report continued 2014–15 financial performance Operating revenue of $106.3 million for the year was up 24% on the previous year and 67% on Fiscal 2013. Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) of $31.3 million represents an increase over Fiscal 2014 of 30% and represents a return on operating revenue of 29%. Revenue ($ millions) 24% 35% 86.0 106.3 Net profit after tax (NPAT) was $16.9 million, and earnings per share 10.3 cents per share compared to 9.2 cents per share last year. 63.8 Following the release of the full year’s operating results, the Directors declared a 3 cent per share final dividend franked at 83% to be paid on 30 September 2015 to those shareholders on record at 9 September 2015. When combined with the 3 cent per share interim dividend franked at 83%, the total distribution of 6 cents per share is consistent with the prior year. As the profits from overseas operations comprise an ever-increasing percentage of total Group profits, the Company’s ability to provide shareholders with fully franked dividends is expected to diminish. Year on year comparison (A$m) The year to June 2015 has benefited from the Banner and TeleBilling acquisitions (acquired May 2014 and May 2015 respectively) along with organic growth in our core business. 2013 2014 2015 EBITDA ($ millions) 30% 31.3 54% 24.1 15.7 2013 2014 2015 EPS (basic – cents) 61% 9.2 12% 10.3 5.7 2013 2014 2015 4 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015 Who we are Hansen’s core business is focused on the provision of customer care and billing solutions. Our products service four major industry verticals (energy, water, Pay TV and telecommunications) each with industry-specific needs while utilising our ability to deliver complex billing outcomes. Our products have developed in line with the specific industry requirements. They have maintained their own identity while being integrated into the Hansen product family that utilises common values and delivery standards. Strategic matrix – products and industries Energy and Water Pay TV and Telecommunications Energy and telecommunications Energy – large retailers and distribution Energy – complex billing and smart grid Energy – market data management Energy and water – municipal market Pay TV Quad play 5 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Joint Report continued Strategic matrix – products and industries The benefits of our strategic matrix include: • Best of breed solutions – reap the benefits of scale and scope, being able to leverage product solutions and subject matter experts from across our business to meet the needs of the different market segments. • Stable platform – the business is not overly exposed to a single customer, product, industry or region. While not immune from market influences, the mission-critical nature of our proprietary software, added to our diversification, provides a strong, stable operating environment. • Employee engagement – enhanced career development opportunities for our staff, who are able to cross skill through their exposure to new technologies, industries and geographies. Our market focus Asia Pacific – APAC The past 12 months have seen a number of new projects commence across many of the industry verticals. Existing customers have also continued to commission enhancements to installed products as they strive to differentiate themselves in a competitive market place. Europe, the Middle East and Africa – EMEA It has been a fantastic year within the EMEA region with continued strong client engagement across the region underscored by the completion of a strategic acquisition (TeleBilling) in May 2015 enhancing the region’s telecommunications offering. Market competition has seen our existing customer base increase its appetite for more complex billing combinations as it strives to differentiate itself in the market. This has resulted in a continuing strong level of customer-paid enhancements. This trend is expected to continue as our existing customers look to enter into new vertical markets. Major Pay TV assignments across the region with customers continuing on scheduled upgrade paths will continue to deliver opportunities to the Company over the coming year. The acquisition of the TeleBilling software business in May 2015 has increased our presence in Europe, adding an impressive list of top tier telecommunications customers to the European customer base. The NaviBilling system expands the Company’s telecommunications reach with a product capable of significant product bundling, including the provision of fixed line, mobile, internet and Pay TV billing all on the one service. The energy sector continues to experience change, with ongoing deregulation and the progressive introduction of smart meter technology increasing the potential for billing complexity across the residential market space. With the Australian market being one of the most mature deregulated markets in the world, Hansen is well positioned to address the needs of other deregulated and competitive markets. This product has broadened the opportunities available to Hansen as the EMEA region continues with its ongoing transition from analogue to digital technology. The Americas The 2014–15 year has seen an ongoing expansion of our presence across North and South America. The Pay TV sector continues to offer opportunities especially in emerging markets. For example, India is currently going through a government mandated digitisation program and it is expected that over 110 million TV-owning homes will make the transition from analogue to digital within the next 18 months. With Direct to Home (DTH) delivery associated with satellite technology often the preferred method of distribution in emerging economies, Hansen’s ICC product is very well placed to service this market. The signing of a multi-year licence with the global Hinduja Group for Hansen’s ICC Customer Care and Billing product in July 2015 is an exciting development. The integration of the Banner customer information system (CIS) utilities billing system was completed during the year with customers excited by the level of expertise and professionalism introduced by Hansen as we developed a product pathway. Product development has continued across the year and Hansen is now well positioned with both upgrade and new business opportunities available in the municipality market space. Our contract with Direct TV, with licensing and support arrangements in Argentina, Columbia, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, the Caribbean and Uruguay, has established a significant presence and reputation across the region. This key customer is a valuable reference as we continue to leverage the product into the South American region. 6 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015The gas market changes will enable greater efficiencies in market transactions and improve security and reliability. Hansen is well placed to assist market participants with adapting to these new market conditions. 7 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Joint Report continued What we do 1. Core market focus Our core business is the delivery of proprietary customer care, billing and meter data management software solutions to the energy, telecommunication, water and Pay TV industries. We couple these offerings with optional full-scale outsourcing services. Our business success is based on delivering relevant and innovative software solutions that meet our customers’ requirements and keep pace with or exceed industry-driven change. 2. Market differentiation We compete on the international market with the world’s largest software houses. Our competitors commonly target the delivery of full enterprise solutions through system integrators worldwide. We differentiate ourselves by: • focusing on selected geographies either directly or with partners, where we will most readily deliver our solutions on budget and on time; • specialising in the development and provision of best of breed applications that deliver the optimum outcomes for our customers; • delivering our own projects with a collaborative hands-on approach with our customers; • offering the security of a company that is large enough to deliver strong industry-relevant expertise while retaining a more flexible approach to product delivery; • offering the option of a fully outsourced facility-managed solution service that is supported directly by the owner of the intellectual property; and • ensuring the underlying technology keeps pace with the ever-increasing complexity of multi-layered, multi-faceted billing solutions. We are positioned in our selected geographies as a flexible provider of best of breed solutions in our core business focus areas. 3. Energy and water utilities (i) Energy billing and customer information systems The energy industry across the globe remains in various states of evolution as industry discussions continue to embrace climate change and the practical application of ‘smart grid’ and region-specific competitive drivers. The introduction of smart meters continues to open the market to more complex billing options and an expanding level of competition in the retail market. The ‘Smart Grid’ initiative has begun to accelerate slowly as the industry starts to understand and embrace the level of integration and the complexity of the technology required to deliver the benefits associated with smoothing energy peaks and managing demand. In response to this challenge, Hansen has developed a ‘Smart Grid Bridge’, being a scalable, plug-in front end to an existing CIS to support the introduction of the initiative without the need for a complete upgrade to the underlying system. Governments globally continue to regulate for change, driving efficiency, the lowering of greenhouse gas emissions and the increase in retail contestability. Working with our strategic partner Toshiba in the Japanese market, we are well positioned to take advantage of a number of opportunities that are emerging as this market moves towards full retail contestability in April 2016. With the Australian market representing one of the most deregulated retail markets in the world and with a smart meter roll-out program underway, our experience and product readiness will see the energy market being one of significant opportunity into the future. (ii) Utilisoft Utilisoft is a software product that provides market integration along with transactions data management for energy generators, traders and retail companies in the Australian energy industry. Utilisoft functionality is tied strongly to market-mandated requirements with ongoing market change impacting our customer base. Working with the industry and our customers, we continually update our product set to keep our off-the-shelf technology compliant with market requirements and relevant to the continuing business needs of our customers. 8 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015 technology and delivered a new user interface. This investment has positioned the product, with existing customers keen to embark on a defined upgrade path while delivering a fresh new version of the product ready to deliver to new prospects in the market. The integration of the Banner team into the different functional areas of Hansen has been completed, expanding the resource pool and development and delivery capabilities, as well as broadening the implementation expertise. 4. Telecommunications Hansen has a long association within the industry, with many in-house industry experts able to assist with the delivery of the expanding list of Hansen products available to address the challenges in this evolving industry segment. With the proliferation of smartphones, tablets and connected devices, consumers have more choice than ever and customer churn has become more prevalent due to the regular annual technology updates by major device companies. Hansen has worked with our telecommunications clients to implement innovative solutions that help operators leverage their customer insight to offer strong product offerings that give their customers great value, in turn building stronger loyalty. Our telecommunications solution provides flexibility and speed to market, matched with strong product bundling and shared allowance management, allowing our clients to take a lead when they take new propositions to market. We see great opportunity for convergence within the telecommunications and Pay TV space, which aligns very well with our solutions and industry expertise. Our recent acquisition of TeleBilling in Denmark has added a product to the Hansen family that introduces ‘Quad Play’, an ability to combine billing for fixed line, mobile, internet and Pay TV under the same billing solution. The Australian electricity and gas markets continue to experience change and this year has seen two significant market-mandated changes introduced. The National Electricity Market (NEM) is in the process of adapting to recommendations to Commonwealth and State Governments made by the AEMC ‘Power of Choice’ review in 2012, whilst the NSW gas market is currently undergoing a significant project to harmonise with the Victorian and South Australian gas markets. These electricity market reforms will give consumers more options in the way they consume energy and will expand competition in the metering and related services, paving the way for new entrants to the smart meter space. The gas market changes will enable greater efficiencies in market transactions and improve security and reliability. Hansen is well placed to assist market participants with adapting to these new market conditions. Our expertise in the Australian deregulated energy market space continues to be the basis for our moves into markets around the world, with utility projects in Japan and Europe benefitting from our long experience with the Utilisoft product suite in the Australian market. We expect market growth to continue and technical requirements to become ever more complex, driven by the demand for renewable energy, consumer awareness, smart grids and the need for increased energy efficiency. The Utilisoft product suite plays a mission-critical role in our clients’ market data value chain and we look forward to helping them meet new challenges in the year ahead. (iii) Banner The Banner solution is a full-featured, functionally rich CIS for utility billing and brings to the Hansen stable of products strong referenceability in water billing and application in the North American municipality market. The product is applicable for some of the largest utilities in the USA as well as smaller municipalities. This allows for a significant addressable market for a product that has a proven track record and an established customer base. Banner has a long history of success and a loyal customer base that is being re-energised by Hansen’s focus on product development. Historical customers have reached out to Hansen to learn more about our future plans for the product. During the year a clearly defined product map supported by significant expenditure in product development has refreshed the 9 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015 Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Joint Report continued 6. Outsourcing With our software solutions driving mission-critical outcomes for our customers, the attractiveness of having the owner of the IP providing total IT support is growing in its popularity. As a natural business progression we offer to our customers varying degrees of hosting and support. This service provides a valuable means of differentiation through the ability to provide a full range of IT services to our customers. 7. Mergers and acquisitions We continue to grow our business with a targeted acquisition strategy. These targets must meet strict strategic criteria to be considered, as follows: • business must be in customer care and billing or adjacent to this core focus; • revenue streams must be recurring or annuity based; and • the business must have strong ownership of its intellectual property. The opportunity must extend Hansen’s footprint into: • a new market; • a new geography; and/or • a new industry vertical. 5. Pay TV Hansen’s Customer Care and Billing solution ICC integrates billing, customer care and business intelligence to enable Pay TV operators to provide a customised service experience while streamlining back-office activities. Our solution delivers a 360-degree view of the customer relationship, encompassing triple and quad-play services to: • improve customer service and enhance customer loyalty with targeted promotions; • provide critical business intelligence to operators together with a reduced total cost of ownership; • provide a variety of post-pay and pre-pay options, as well as voucher systems, wallets and quote-based billing; and • offer full account receivable capabilities. Our extensive knowledge and experience with digital satellite and digital terrestrial distribution, as well as cable networks, coupled with flexible pricing models/offerings for consumers, businesses and multiple dwelling units, facilitates a lower cost of deployment when compared with other industry-leading CRM and billing platforms. The software can be configured to run multiple territories or countries from a single instance of the software. Throughout Asia, the Middle East, Africa and South America the consumer interest in the provision of digitally delivered Pay TV is expanding. Existing providers are experiencing strong growth and new content providers are entering those geographic markets that are in their infancy or not as yet fully mature. Hansen’s ICC solution is in use by a number of customers in these regions. The opportunity of growth with existing customers as well as new entrants offers genuine upside for Hansen over the coming years. The Pay TV vertical encompasses a wide variety of traditional broadcasters, telecommunications, satellite operators and cable companies. As operators diversify their service offerings to include telephony, mobile telephony, broadband and broadcast TV entertainment, the solutions in Hansen’s portfolio will mesh synergistically. 10 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015The acquisition of TeleBilling expands the Company’s telecommunications reach with a product capable of significant product bundling, including the provision of fixed line, mobile, internet and Pay TV billing all on the one service. 11 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Joint Report continued 7.

Prioritising the customer will put Hansen front of mind as we look to take advantage of the organic growth available in our markets. Our strategic approach to acquisitions will continue to be applied as we look to expand the business into new but related markets. Finally we would like to record our appreciation for the level of support shown by our shareholders across the year. This support was illustrated through the over-subscription to our recent share offer as well as the growth in our share register. Our shareholder base has now grown to in excess of 7,300 members. We would like to take this opportunity to welcome all shareholders who have joined the Company during the year and we look forward to delivering additional value across the year to come. We will continue to focus on customer delivery, being mindful of the need to balance the timely investment in staff growth with the ongoing need to deliver projects on time and on budget. We are very proud of our continuing business achievements. We have seen significant growth in the value of the Company since its listing on the ASX in 2000, while returning to our investors a total of over $80 million by way of capital distributions and dividend payments. David Trude Chairman Having been admitted to the ASX 300 in March of this year, we look forward to continuing to offer our growing shareholder base ongoing value through sustainable revenue growth and consistent profitability. The outlook for Fiscal 2016 is for another record year as we continue to grow internationally. We expect revenue to exceed $135 million while continuing to target an EBITDA margin in the range of 25 –30%.

This business has performed to expectations across the year and we are encouraged by the level of customer engagement as we map out the future for the product. We continued to invest in the Company’s delivery capacity. With a new regional management structure in place, this ongoing investment has been necessary to support the organic growth across the business. Cross-skilling has continued to improve productivity across our professional staff and has assisted us to deliver major projects across utilities, Pay TV and the telecommunications lines of business during the year. We continue to invest in research and development, enhancing the functionality of our products in line with customers’ requirements. This approach to product development has delivered real benefits to our customers while increasing the value of our intellectual property. The acquisition of the TeleBilling software business in May 2015 has increased our presence in Europe, adding an impressive list of top tier telecommunications customers to the European customer base. The NaviBilling system expands the Company’s telecommunications reach with a product capable of significant product bundling including the provision of fixed line, mobile, internet and Pay TV billing all on the one service. We continue to provide IT and Facilities Management (FM) services to our customers wishing to outsource their software solution. This business remained competitive during the year with hosting services offered in Australia, the United States and Europe. Significant changes in the state of affairs On 12 May 2015 the Company completed a transaction to acquire the business TeleBilling as a going concern.

At the Company’s most recent Annual General Meeting (AGM), a resolution to adopt the prior year Remuneration Report was put to the vote and at least 75% of ‘yes’ votes were cast for adoption of that report. No comments were made on the Remuneration Report that was considered at the AGM. 21 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015 Audited Remuneration Report continued Remuneration governance The Board has delegated to the Remuneration Committee the responsibility to make recommendations to the Board for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors, executive KMP and the balance of the CEO’s direct reports. As at 30 June 2015 the Remuneration Committee was made up of three Non-Executive Directors, Bruce Adams, Sarah Morgan and the Chairman Peter Berry. The CEO and other Directors attend meetings as required at the invitation of the Committee Chairman. The Remuneration Committee assesses the appropriateness of both the nature and amount of the remuneration of the KMP on an annual basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions, with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a quality Board and executive team. In doing so it uses reports on the remuneration practices of similar ASX listed entities as a basis to ensure remuneration remains relevant to the market conditions as well as the size and nature of our business. Recommendations to provide equity/option-based remuneration to the Managing Director or any other Director are required to be approved by resolution at a General Meeting of shareholders. A Director or any associate of a Director is excluded from voting on a resolution to approve the issue of equity-based remuneration to a Director. Independent advice To ensure it is fully informed when making decisions in relation to remuneration, the Remuneration Committee seeks advice from specialist external remuneration consultants as well as the Company’s CEO. As required, advice is received on issues of benchmarking the remuneration of the CEO and Non-Executive Directors against other listed entities as well as the nature, size and structure of short and long term incentive arrangements. Given independent advice was received in 2014, the Remuneration Committee did not seek independent advice in FY2015, however a review has been commissioned in FY2016 to assist with the setting of future executive salaries.

No options previously granted as remuneration to KMP have lapsed during the year. Remuneration policy The Company policy is to ensure that the remuneration package for KMP properly reflects each employee’s duties and responsibilities and that it is market competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people of the highest quality. The Board links the nature and amount of remuneration for executive KMP and other senior executives’ remuneration to the Company’s financial and operational performance and, when appropriate, specific individual key performance indicators within the direct control of the relevant executive. Remuneration paid to the Company’s Directors and executives is also determined with reference to the market level of remuneration for other similar ASX listed entities in Australia. This assessment is undertaken with reference to published information provided by various remuneration support and advisory organisations operating in the sector and is agreed by the Board as a whole. Remuneration for the KMP is based around a fixed remuneration component plus, for the executives and senior management, performance-linked elements. The targeted levels of performance-linked elements are determined each year by the Board and ratios vary between the individual executives from year to year. The relativities in recent years between fixed and targeted performance linked remuneration have been broadly: • CEO: – base salary comprising between 50% and 60% of total remuneration; – plus performance linked; – targeted short term cash incentive, 50% of base salary; – of which not less than half is related to the achievement of key financial performance criteria, including revenue and EBITDA; – with the balance relating to specific targeted activities and focused objectives as established by the Board from year to year; and – targeted long term incentive approximately 25% of base salary. 23 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015 Audited Remuneration Report continued Remuneration policy continued • Other executive KMP: – base salary comprising between 70% and 75% of total remuneration; – plus performance linked; – targeted short term cash incentive, 15% to 25% of base salary; – of which between 30% and 50% is related to the achievement of key financial performance criteria, including Revenue and EBITDA; – with the balance relating to specific targeted activities and focused objectives as set by the CEO and Board from year to year; and – targeted long term incentive 5% to 10% of base salary. A. Fixed remuneration i. Executive KMP Fixed remuneration generally comprises a base salary plus employer contributions to superannuation funds at the legislated Superannuation Guarantee Contribution rate. The Remuneration Committee and the Board, after due consideration of the characteristics of our business, its aspirations and growth objectives and having considered the advice from third parties, currently considers a combination of cash bonuses and share option allocations to be the appropriate elements of a short and long term incentive package. This structure is regularly reviewed to ensure it remains relevant to the best interests of our business and represents optimum incentive to the executives for both operational performance as well as employee retention. i. Short term performance-linked remuneration Each year when the KMP remuneration is reviewed the Remuneration Committee, in consultation where appropriate with the CEO, establishes a performance-dependent bonus that may be payable to each senior executive. Although the ultimate payment of any bonus is at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee and the Board, KPIs comprising a combination of qualitative and quantitative measures are established and individually tailored for each senior executive to ensure their operational performance is aligned with the Group’s strategic objectives, targeted improvements in operating performance and the overall corporate objective of creating enhanced shareholder value for that year. Fixed remuneration levels for executive KMP and other senior executives are reviewed annually by the Board through a process that considers each employee’s personal development, qualifications, changes in job descriptions and responsibilities, industry benchmarks and CPI data. The nature and range of KPIs and other targets against which the individual performance of a KMP may be measured is described below. These measures are chosen as they represent the key drivers for the short term success of the business and provide a framework for delivering long term value: Financial • the actual worldwide Group operational performance compared to budget for revenue and EBITDA. The actual parameters applied may be dependent upon the roles and responsibilities of each individual executive and their ability to influence the performance outcome; • the financial operating performance of individual business units and geographic regions against budgeted revenue and EBITDA; and • these parameters commonly comprise between 30% and 50% of the performance-based compensation available to be earned. Business management • improving staff utilisation and delivering software projects in line with budget and time estimates. ii. Non-Executive Directors Non-Executive Directors receive a base salary reviewed annually (inclusive of Superannuation Guarantee Contribution as required by government regulation). Non-Executive Directors do not receive any performance-related remuneration or retirement benefits and are excluded from participation in the Hansen Executive Option and Share Plans. The maximum remuneration payable for Non-Executive Directors as a collective group is determined by resolution of shareholders. The maximum available aggregate cash remuneration approved for Non-Executive Directors at the 2013 AGM is $430,000. B. Incentive elements of remuneration The performance-based incentives for the CEO and senior executives are structured to include a mixture of both short and longer term components, which are designed to reward management for meeting or exceeding their financial and performance objectives. The Board is cognisant of the need to achieve a balance between short term and longer term incentives to ensure the continued focus on driving the Company’s performance in a balanced way over time and thus enhancing shareholder confidence through share price appreciation and dividend return. 24 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015Customer relationship and business growth • retention of existing customers and cross-selling of products and services; and • achievement of new licence sales to new and existing strategic customers. Departmental operating efficiency • enhanced performance of individual departments to achieve specified efficiency improvements; and • training and development of employees. Other • acquisition and integration of compatible businesses; and • compliance with the Company’s corporate governance principles. At the end of each financial year, in the knowledge of the financial performance of the Company as a whole, each individual executive’s performance in general and specifically against their targeted objectives throughout the year, is evaluated and recommended by the CEO to the Remuneration Committee, which assesses the performance of each senior executive, including the CEO, in achieving their KPIs. Based on this assessment and discretion applied by the Remuneration Committee for non-quantifiable measures and any other relevant factors, a determination is then made of the appropriate percentage of each KPI to be awarded based on the performance achieved. The performance bonus recommended by the Remuneration Committee is provided to the full Board for consideration and approval. The combination of these review processes provides the Remuneration Committee and the Board with a balanced assessment of the performance of the senior executive group as well as executives generally. In 2015 the following KMP, performing the same role as the prior year, received remuneration increases above the general trend of salary increases. The reasons for these increases are summarised as follows: ii. Long term incentives The Company’s long term incentive component of KMP remuneration can be via cash or via options. Historically the issue of options has occurred in accordance with the Company’s Executive Option Plan as approved at the 2011 AGM of shareholders. Alternatively at the Board’s discretion, long term incentives may be on a cash basis. During 2014, the Board elected to allocate the CEO’s long term incentive on a cash basis, payable in two equal parts in FY16 and FY17. The payments are conditional on the operational performance of the Company in the initial financial year and ongoing employment with the Company. While options may be granted as part of compensation, the exercising of vested options does require payment by the applicable executive to the Company of the predetermined exercise price of the options, being based on the market share price on the deemed effective date of the granting of the options. Executives receiving options are also subject to taxation on gains arising from any increase in the price per share over the vesting/qualifying period of the option, effectively increasing their cost of acquisition. The fundamental principle behind the use of options as a long term incentive is the alignment of any benefit from the incentive to the KMP with the overriding objective of enhanced shareholder value delivered, in this instance, by way of increased share prices over the period of the option term. Options offer the additional incentive of enhancing the prospect for retention of KMP as the benefit to the employee is derived over time subject to the qualifying period of the option. Options are issued to the KMP in accordance with the shareholder-approved Executive Option Plan. The fundamental elements of the practical application of the Plan may be summarised as follows: Options are issued with: • a long term vesting/qualifying period, commonly • Cameron Hunter – Chief Operating Officer, increase in total three years; remuneration 8%; and • are conditional upon continued employment • Darren Meade – Group Client Services and Delivery Manager, throughout the vesting period; increase in total remuneration of 18%; • may not be exercised until the end of the – increase in size and complexity of the business operations vesting period; and from a 24% increase in revenue during FY15, directly impacting their areas under management; – their role in the successful completion of acquisitions over the past two years (Banner and TeleBilling); – their management of the successful integration of past acquisitions into the Company operations; and – increase of the size of workforce under their direct management and international diversity/complexity of the operations under their management. • must be exercised within two years of when they vest. They are conditionally issued in respect of the operating performance for the initial financial year and are subject to achieving specified financial performance targets for that year as determined by the Board, typically the achievement of the budgeted objectives of the Group as a whole for the initial year: • at the end of the year the Directors assess the Group’s performance against the agreed targets; and • determine whether to confirm, vary or cancel the options previously issued. 25 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015Audited Remuneration Report continued B. Incentive elements of remuneration continued The price payable to convert the options to shares is specified at the original date of issue as being a price per share not less than the volume weighted average price (VWAP) at the date on which the options were originally issued or in the case of the CEO, the VWAP on the date the intention to issue the options is announced plus a graduated premium: • The benefit to the employee arises where the pre-specified exercise price is less than the market price when the options vest at the end of the vesting/qualifying period. Once an option has vested at the end of the qualifying period, the employee may elect to exercise the option in which event: • the employee must pay in cash to the Company the previously specified exercise price multiplied by the number of options received; • e.g. for 100,000 options with an exercise price of $1.30 per share the employee will be required to pay the Company $130,000 to convert the options to shares; • in addition and regardless of whether the employee has exercised the options or not, the employee will be required to declare for tax purposes a taxable revenue gain to the extent the VWAP at the vesting date exceeds the exercise price and pay tax to the relevant tax authority on this gain as if it was normal personal income, e.g. for 100,000 options with an exercise price of $1.30 per share and a VWAP at the date of vesting of $2.00, the employee would be required to declare as income for tax purposes $70,000 and pay to the tax authority the applicable tax on this income; and • due to a change in applicable taxation rules, options issued after 1 July 2015 will be taxable on the exercise date not the vesting date. Options issued to executives are not able to be traded on the ASX. They do not qualify for receipt of dividends or have any voting rights until they have been exercised and converted to shares by the employee paying the required exercise price to the Company. The Company prohibits KMP from entering into arrangements to protect the value of unvested equity awards.

Hansen Technologies Ltd (Hansen or the Company) regularly reviews its Principles, Policies and Charters to ensure they remain consistent with the Board’s objectives, current laws and best practice. The Hansen Corporate Governance Principles provide direction to the business to help meet our responsibilities to shareholders, customers, employees and community. In relation to corporate governance, the Board aims to: • embrace best practice in corporate governance; • remain mindful of operating practices in the international jurisdictions in which we operate; • recognise and comply with the principles of the ASX Corporate Governance Council; and • ensure Directors, executives, management, and staff are cognisant of the Hansen Governance Principles. In accordance with the most recent edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (3rd edition) (the Principles), the Corporate Governance Statement contains specific information and also reports on the Company’s adoption of the Council’s good practice recommendations on an exception basis, whereby disclosure is required of any recommendations that have not been adopted by the Company and why. The Company’s Corporate Governance Principles and Policies are therefore structured with reference to the Principles. Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight The primary role of the Board of Directors is to provide effective governance over the performance and affairs of the Hansen Technologies Group. In carrying out its responsibilities, the Board undertakes to serve the interest of shareholders, employees, customers and the broader community honestly, fairly, diligently and in accordance with applicable laws. The specific functions established and reserved for the Board are: • providing strategic direction and approving corporate strategies; • selecting and appointing the CEO, determining conditions of service and monitoring performance against established objectives. If necessary removing the CEO from office; • monitoring financial performance against budgeted objectives; • ensuring adequate risk management controls and reporting mechanisms are maintained; • approving and monitoring progress of major capital expenditure, capital management, acquisitions and divestments; 30 The Board has delegated to the CEO the authority and responsibility for implementing the Group’s strategic direction and overseeing the everyday affairs of the Hansen Group. The CEO’s specific responsibilities include ensuring business activities are in accordance with the Group’s overall business strategy, ensuring the Group conducts its affairs within the law and the principles outlined in Hansen’s Corporate Governance Policies, keeping the Board informed of all major developments and approving expenditure and setting remuneration levels of personnel within the normal course of business. The CEO consults with the Chairman of the Board and respective Committees on matters that are sensitive, extraordinary or of a strategic nature. Through the CEO, the Board has delegated authority and responsibility to other executives and management for their respective business functions. In identifying suitable persons to become Directors, after undertaking appropriate background checks, the Board will look to achieve an appropriate balance of relevant legal, commercial and financial management skills as well as expertise specific to the industries in which our Company operates. In pursuing this objective the Board will be cognisant of its policy to pursue a balance of gender diversity at all levels of the Company’s management. Additionally, the Board will provide shareholders with all material information in its possession relevant to a decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect a Director. All Directors and senior executives are engaged under a contract of service that clearly specifies roles, responsibilities and any terms of employment. The Company Secretary The Company Secretary is accountable through the Chairman to the Board for the proper functioning of the Board. The Company Secretary also advises the Board on corporate governance issues as well as monitoring the activities of Committees for compliance with policy and procedures. Diversity The Board recognises that a diverse and inclusive workforce is not only good for our employees, but also good for the business. The Diversity Policy can be found in the Ethics and Responsibilities document in the corporate governance section of the Company’s website. This focus on diversity at all levels of the business is intended to reinforce the importance of equality in the workplace and is a logical extension of Hansen’s active participation in the Workplace Gender Equality initiatives of the Australian Government’s Workplace Gender Equality Agency. A copy of the public report submitted by Hansen may be found on the Workplace Gender Equality Agency’s website: www.wgea.gov.au Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015 The table below shows the gender diversity of the Company (worldwide) as at 30 June 2015: Board Senior management Hansen Group Female % 17 13 25 Male % 83 87 75 For this purpose senior management is defined as the corporate leadership team reporting directly to the CEO. Performance of the Board Board members may periodically review and evaluate the Board’s performance and that of the Board Committees. Given the limited size of the Board and its Committees, an annual formal review is not deemed warranted. However, there is an ongoing and constant provision for each Director to contribute judgements and observations at any time. The performance evaluation process is as follows: • each Director, as they see fit, will periodically evaluate the effectiveness of the Board and its Committees and submit observations to the Chairman; • the Chairman of the Board will make a presentation incorporating his assessment of such observations to enable the Board to assess and, if necessary, take action; • the Board will agree and develop actions that may be required to improve performance; • outcomes and actions will be minuted; and • the Chairman will assess the progress of the actions to be achieved. This process aims to ensure that individual Directors have an unlimited opportunity to assess and comment on the performance of the Board and its Committees with the objective of enhancing the Board’s effectiveness in achieving its duties and responsibilities. Periodically the Chairman may propose a formal performance evaluation review and he may commission a third party to assist in such a review if deemed desirable. No such formal review was conducted during this reporting period. Performance of senior executives The Company has a defined process for periodically evaluating the performance of its senior executives as set out in the Remuneration Policy available in the ‘Board’ document on the corporate governance section of the Company’s website. A performance evaluation of the CEO and senior executives was undertaken during the reporting period in accordance with this Remuneration Policy. Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value Considering the level of operations of the Group and the current number of Board members, the appointment of a formal Nominations Committee is not deemed necessary. Nominations for positions on the Board are considered during a meeting with all Board members present. The Board determines the Board’s size and composition, subject to limits imposed by the Company’s Constitution. The Constitution determines the basis for the election and appointment of Directors and specifies a minimum of three Directors and a maximum of 10. Currently, the Board comprises six Directors, five of whom are Non-Executive Directors: the Chairman, David Trude; four other Non-Executive Directors, being Bruce Adams, Peter Berry, David Osborne and Sarah Morgan; and one Executive Director, the CEO Andrew Hansen. Melinda Osborne resigned as a Director on 22 August 2014. The skills, tenure of office, experience and expertise relevant to the position of Director held by each Director is detailed in the Annual Report. Director independence It is the Board’s objective to strive for a majority of independent Directors and has for a number of years been successful in this endeavour. The Chair of the Board, Mr David Trude, is an independent Director. The Board has three independent Directors, David Trude, Peter Berry and Sarah Morgan (who was appointed as a Director on 1 October 2014). This represents 50% of the Board’s total membership. Director induction training and continuing education All incoming Directors are required to undertake the standard Company induction program so as to become informed of the Company’s business activities and policies. Directors are encouraged to pursue professional development opportunities and the Company will provide information and advice that may be of relevance to allow Directors to maintain the skills and knowledge required to perform their role within the business. Principle 3: Act ethically and responsibly At Hansen we recognise that our Company is made up of the individual employees representing our operations globally. Each person has an individual responsibility for their own behaviour and should take accountability for their actions and choices. The Hansen Technologies Code of Conduct has been established to assist all Hansen representatives to make considered choices with regard to their behaviour. The Code of Conduct reflects the Hansen Group’s primary values of ethical behaviour, compliance with legal obligations, and respecting the expectations of all stakeholders. 31 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015Corporate Governance Statement continued For the Year Ended 30 June 2015 Principle 3: Act ethically and responsibly continued • accurately record and explain its financial position and performance; The Code of Conduct outlines how the Company expects Directors, senior executives and staff to behave and conduct business in a range of circumstances. Directors, management and staff are expected to act ethically and responsibly. All Board members are qualified professionals within their respective industries and accordingly conduct themselves in a professional and ethical manner in both their normal commercial activities and the discharge of their responsibilities as Directors. The Company’s Code of Conduct is posted on the corporate governance section of its website. Employees who breach this Code may face disciplinary action, which could result in changes to their employment. Where potential for conflict is identified, the Board appoints a sub-committee specifically structured, authorised and tasked to determine the appropriate actions or responses so as to eliminate any potential for conflicts. Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in corporate reporting Audit and Risk Committee The Audit Committees obligations were extended by the Board by delegating the monitoring of the Risk Framework to the expanded Audit and Risk Committee in July 2015. The Audit and Risk Committee monitors and reviews the effectiveness of the Company’s controls in the areas of operational reporting. The Audit and Risk Committee makes an assessment of external auditor performance and makes recommendations in respect of the external auditor’s appointment and remuneration. The Committee has a formal charter, which is contained in the ‘Board’ document and is posted in the corporate governance section of the Company’s website. The members of the Committee as at 30 June 2015 were Non-Executive Directors David Osborne, Peter Berry and the Chairman of the Committee, Sarah Morgan, with 67% of the membership being deemed independent. The skills, tenure of office, experience and expertise relevant to the positions of the members of the Audit and Risk Committee is detailed in the Annual Report. The Committee shall meet as required, but no less than twice each year. In the relevant reporting period the Committee met three times and the attendances at these meetings are detailed with the Directors’ Report, which forms part of the Annual Report. Declarations from the CEO and CFO The integrity of the Group’s financial reporting depends upon the existence of a sound system of risk oversight and management and internal control. The Board receives regular reports about the financial condition and operational results. The CEO and the CFO annually provide a formal declaration to the Board that the financial records of the Group for the financial year have been properly maintained in that they: 32 • enable true and fair financial statements to be prepared and audited; • the financial statements and notes required by the accounting standards for the financial year comply with the accounting standards; and • the risk management and internal compliance and control systems are sound, appropriate and operating efficiently and effectively. Such a statement has been provided in respect of the financial year ending 30 June 2015. External auditor The external auditor attends the AGM and is available to answer questions from security holders relevant to the audit. Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure The Hansen Continuous Disclosure and Communication Policy has been developed to provide clear guidelines for the operations of the Hansen business and establishes appropriate processes and criteria for continuous disclosure to ensure compliance with the requirements of the ASX and other securities and corporations legislation. The policy is included in the ‘Ethics and Responsibilities’ document on the Company’s website. The Policy’s primary objective is the promotion of effective communication with shareholders and related stakeholders. The key principles of the Policy are that: • material Company information is issued to shareholders and the market in a timely manner and in accordance with our obligations to the market; • such information is communicated in a way that allows for all interested parties to have equal and timely access; • communication is presented in a clear, factual and balanced manner; and • ASX reporting obligations are met. Principle 6: Respect the rights of security holders Hansen encourages the use of electronic communications by providing up-to-date information on the Group website, www.hsntech.com. The ‘Investors’ section of the website contains a range of information relevant to shareholders. In particular: • the Annual Report is distributed either over the web or by post; • notice of the AGM is distributed by mail or, where a shareholder has requested, by email; and • whenever there are other significant developments to report, these are communicated via the Company’s website or direct communication to shareholders. Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015Hansen is committed to continuing to improve communication with shareholders. The AGM is seen as an important communication forum. In preparing notices of meeting and related explanatory information, Hansen aims to provide all information that is relevant to shareholders in making a decision on the matter to be voted on by shareholders in a clear and concise format. During the meeting, time is dedicated to accommodating shareholders questions. Following the meeting, Directors and shareholders are able to further communicate informally. Communication mechanisms will be reviewed regularly to ensure they provide the optimum information flow to shareholders and potential investors, enabling them to make decisions in an informed manner. The Company gives security holders the option to receive and send communications to the entity and its security registry electronically. Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk The Company has established a Risk Management Policy for the oversight and management of material business risks. The Policy is available from the corporate governance section of the Company’s website. The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company’s risk management framework. The Audit and Risk Committee reviews the Company’s risk management framework regularly to satisfy itself that it continues to be sound and reports its findings to the Board. At this stage of the Company’s development it is deemed that a formal internal audit function is not warranted. However, the Company does acknowledge the risk represented by its decentralised infrastructure and has put in place a number of internal controls that are regularly tested by internal review tasks to ensure they are operating satisfactorily. The key risk categories to which the Company is exposed, and how it manages or intends to manage those risks are set out in the Risk Management Policy on the Company’s website. In addition, the Audit and Risk Committee Charter is set out in the ‘Board’ document posted in the corporate governance section of the Company’s website. Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly Remuneration Committee The Remuneration Committee members as at 30 June 2015 were Bruce Adams plus independent Non-Executive Directors Sarah Morgan and the Chairman Peter Berry. The Committee meets at least annually to assess annual remuneration changes, and will hold additional meetings where required. The Remuneration Committee met twice during the financial year and all members of the Remuneration Committee at the time were present. The Remuneration Committee Charter is set out in the ‘Board’ document posted in the corporate governance section of the Company’s website. Remuneration policies and practices The Remuneration Report contained in this Annual Report sets out the remuneration details and structures for the specified key management personnel including all Non-Executive Directors. The Company has share and option plans for its employees. The Company’s Employee Option Plan was approved by shareholders at the 2011 AGM. The Group’s aim in remunerating the CEO and other executives is to provide base pay plus rewards and other benefits that will attract, motivate and retain key executives while aligning their financial interests with those of our shareholders. Our policy is to provide individual executives with a level of income that: • recognises the market value of each position in a competitive market; • rewards the individual’s capabilities and experience; • recognises the performance of individuals; • assists in executive retention; and • is structured to provide a mix of fixed and variable pay, and a blend of short and long term incentives. 33 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015Corporate Governance Statement continued For the Year Ended 30 June 2015 Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly continued The Remuneration Committee sets the remuneration package for the CEO and engages with external third party consultants from time to time to verify the appropriateness and market competitiveness of the CEO’s remuneration package. The CEO establishes employment arrangements and remuneration packages for the executives. Each year performance-based incentives, at the discretion of the Directors, are set for the CEO and the executives incorporating objectives designed around Group, business unit and individual goals, with agreed short and long term performance incentives. The CEO submits the proposed annual executive package to the Remuneration Committee where it is assessed for reasonableness. The Remuneration Committee then makes its recommendations in respect of the CEO and executives to the Board for approval. The structure of Hansen executive pay and reward is made up of three parts: a base salary package (inclusive of superannuation); short term performance incentives; and long term performance incentives. The combination of these comprises the executive’s total compensation. Details of the pay and rewards for Hansen’s KMP and their total remuneration are set out in the Annual Report each year. The Remuneration Committee recommends the remuneration of Non-Executive Directors to the Board for consideration and approval. Remuneration for Non-Executive Directors consists of a base salary package, inclusive of superannuation contribution, as required by the Superannuation Guarantee Scheme. Non-Executive Directors are excluded from participation in the Company’s share and option plans. The maximum collective amount payable to Non-Executive Directors, in their capacity as Directors, is established by resolution passed by a majority of shareholders at an AGM of the Company. Any increase in the maximum amount is required to be submitted to shareholders for approval. No separate or additional retirement benefits are provided for Non-Executive Directors. Share trading policy The Company has a share trading policy that can be found in the corporate governance section of the Company’s website. The Corporations Act prohibits the KMP of an ASX listed company established in Australia, or a closely related party of such personnel from entering into an arrangement that would have the effect of limiting their exposure to risk relating to an element of their remuneration that either has not vested or has vested but remains subject to a holding lock. 34 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015Financial Report Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income Consolidated Statement of Financial Position Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Notes to the Financial Statements Note 1.

Statement of significant accounting policies The following is a summary of significant accounting policies adopted by the consolidated entity in the preparation and presentation of the Financial Report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. (a) Basis of preparation of the Financial Report This Financial Report is a general purpose Financial Report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Interpretations and other applicable authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The Financial Report covers Hansen Technologies Ltd and controlled entities as a consolidated entity. Hansen Technologies Ltd is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Hansen Technologies Ltd is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. The Financial Report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 30 September 2015. Compliance with IFRS The consolidated financial statements of Hansen Technologies Ltd also comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Historical cost convention The Financial Report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by revaluations to fair value for certain classes of assets as described in the accounting policies. Critical accounting estimates The preparation of the Financial Report requires the use of certain estimates and judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies. Those estimates and judgements significant to the Financial Report are disclosed in note 2. (b) Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements are those of the consolidated entity, comprising the financial statements of the parent entity, Hansen Technologies Ltd, and of all entities, which the parent controls. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies, which may exist. All inter-company balances and transactions, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date that control is established. (c) Revenue Revenue from the provision of services to customers is recognised upon delivery of the service to the customer. Maintenance revenue when invoiced in advance is initially recognised as a liability until the service is performed. Accrued revenue is recognised on a percentage of completion basis in order to record revenues against incurred effort and expense. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Risks and rewards of ownership are considered to have passed to the buyer at the time of delivery of the goods to the customer. Interest revenue is recognised when it becomes receivable on a proportional basis, taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). 40 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015 (d) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at banks, short term deposits with an original maturity of six months or less held at call with financial institutions and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. (e) Plant, equipment and leasehold improvements Cost and valuation All classes of plant, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation The depreciable amounts of all fixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The useful lives for each class of assets are: Plant, equipment and leasehold improvements Leased plant and equipment 2015 2.5 to 12 years 2.5 to 12 years 2014 2.5 to 12 years 2.5 to 12 years (f) Leases Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership. Finance leases Leases of fixed assets, where substantially all of the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the asset but not the legal ownership are transferred to the consolidated entity, are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised, recording an asset and liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. The interest expense is calculated using the interest rate implicit in the lease and is included in finance costs in the statement of comprehensive income. Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives where it is likely the consolidated entity will obtain ownership of the asset, or over the term of the lease. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period. Operating leases Lease payments for operating leases are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. (g) Business combinations A business combination is a transaction or other event in which an acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses and results in the consolidation of the assets and liabilities acquired. Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquired. Deferred consideration payable is measured at fair value. Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Goodwill is recognised initially at the excess over the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the fair value of the non-controlling interest, less the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. 41 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015 Notes to the Financial Statements continued 30 June 2015 1. Statement of significant accounting policies continued (h) Intangibles Goodwill Goodwill is initially measured as described in note 1(g). Goodwill is not amortised but is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Technology, trademarks and customer contracts Technology, trademarks and customer contracts are recognised at cost and are amortised over their estimated useful lives, which range from the term of the contract or five to 10 years. Technology, trademarks and customer contracts are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Research and development Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense when incurred. Expenditure on development activities is capitalised only when technical feasibility studies demonstrate that the project will deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably. Capitalised development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using a straight-line method to allocate the cost of the intangible asset over a five-year period (or earlier if the development project is abandoned), commencing when the intangible asset is available for use. Other development expenditure is recognised as an expense when incurred. (i) Impairment of non-financial assets Assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortised but are tested at least annually for impairment in accordance with AASB 136. Assets subject to annual depreciation or amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances arise that indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is defined as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use. (j) Income tax Current income tax expense or revenue is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax balances Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the applicable tax rates when the assets are expected to be recovered or liabilities settled. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity. 42 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015 Tax consolidation The parent entity and all eligible Australian controlled entities have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation legislation. The tax consolidated group has entered a tax funding agreement whereby each entity in the tax consolidated group recognises the assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues in relation to its own transactions, events and balances only. This means that: • the parent entity recognises all current and deferred tax amounts relating to its own transactions, events and balances only; • the subsidiaries recognise current or deferred tax amounts arising in respect of their own transactions, events and balances; and • the current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising in respect of tax losses, are transferred from the subsidiary to the head entity as inter-company payables or receivables. The tax consolidated group also has a tax sharing agreement in place to limit the liability of subsidiaries in the tax consolidated group arising under the joint and several liability requirements of the tax consolidation system, in the event of default by the parent entity to meet its payment obligations. This means that under the tax sharing agreement, the subsidiaries are legally liable to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidated group. (k) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. (l) Employee benefits (i) Short term employee benefit obligations Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave and any other employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts based on remuneration rates that are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. The expected cost of short term employee benefits in the form of compensated absences such as annual leave and long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables. (ii) Long term employee benefit obligations The provision for employee benefits in respect of annual leave and long service leave that is not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. (iii) Retirement benefit obligations Defined contribution superannuation plan The consolidated entity makes contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans in respect of employee services rendered during the year. These superannuation contributions are recognised as an expense in the same period when the employee services are received. (iv) Share-based payments The consolidated entity operates share-based payment employee share and option schemes. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is measured at the market bid price at grant date. In respect of share-based payments that are dependent on the satisfaction of performance conditions, the number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at each reporting date. The amount recognised for services received as consideration for these equity instruments granted is adjusted to reflect the best estimate of the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. 43 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015 Notes to the Financial Statements continued 30 June 2015 1. Statement of significant accounting policies continued (v) Bonus plan The consolidated entity recognises a provision when a bonus is payable in accordance with the employee’s contract of employment or review letter and the amount can be reliably measured. (vi) Termination benefits Termination benefits are payable when employment of an employee or group of employees is terminated before the normal retirement date. The consolidated entity recognises a provision for termination benefits when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits, or if earlier, when the termination benefits are included in a formal restructuring plan that has been announced to those affected by it. (m) Borrowing costs Borrowing costs can include interest expense calculated using the effective interest method and finance charges in respect of finance leases. Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred except for borrowing costs incurred as part of the construction of a qualifying asset, which are capitalised until the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. (n) Financial instruments Classification The consolidated entity classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: loans and receivables; and financial liabilities. The classification depends on the purpose for which the instruments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition. Non-derivative financial instruments Non-derivative financial instruments consist of investments in equity and debt securities, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables. Non-derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value, plus directly attributable transaction costs (if any), except for instruments recorded at fair value through profit or loss. After initial recognition, non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are measured at fair value at inception and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Financial liabilities Financial liabilities include trade payables, other creditors and loans from third parties. Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the consolidated entity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. (o) Foreign currencies translations and balances Functional and presentation currency The financial statements of each entity within the consolidated Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the consolidated entity’s functional and presentation currency. 44 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015 Transactions and balances Transactions in foreign currencies of entities within the consolidated Group are translated into functional currency at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items that are outstanding at the reporting date (other than monetary items arising under foreign currency contracts where the exchange rate for that monetary item is fixed in the contract) are translated using the spot rate at the end of the financial year. All resulting exchange differences arising on settlement or re-statement are recognised as revenues and expenses for the financial year. Foreign subsidiaries Entities that have a functional currency different to the presentation currency are translated as follows: • assets and liabilities are translated at year end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date; • income and expenses are translated at actual exchange rates or average exchange rates for the period, where appropriate; and • all resulting exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group’s foreign currency translation reserve as a separate component of equity in the balance sheet. Exchange differences arising on the reduction of a foreign subsidiary’s equity continues to be recognised in the Group’s foreign currency translation reserve until such time that the foreign subsidiary is disposed of. (p) Goods and services tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. (q) Comparatives Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures. (r) Rounding amounts The parent entity and the consolidated entity have applied the relief available under ASIC Class Order CO 98/0100 and, accordingly, amounts in the consolidated financial statements and the Directors’ Report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases to the nearest dollar. (s) Going concern The Financial Report has been prepared on a going concern basis. (t) Adoption of new and amended accounting standards that are first operative at 30 June 2015 There are no new or amended accounting standards effective for the financial year beginning 1 July 2014 that have affected any amounts recorded in the current or prior year. (u) Accounting standards and interpretations issued but not operative at 30 June 2015 The following standards and interpretations have been issued at the reporting date but are not yet effective. The Directors’ assessment of the impact of these standards and interpretations is set out on the following page. 45 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015 Notes to the Financial Statements continued 30 June 2015 1. Statement of significant accounting policies continued (i) AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers AASB 15 introduces a five-step process for revenue recognition with the core principle being for entities to recognise revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (that is, payment) to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The five-step approach is as follows: • Step 1: Identify the contracts with the customer. • Step 2: Identify the separate performance obligations. • Step 3: Determine the transaction price. • Step 4: Allocate the transaction price. • Step 5: Recognise revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. AASB 15 will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively (for example, service revenue and contract modifications) and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The effective date is annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. The changes in revenue recognition requirements in AASB 15 may cause changes to the timing and amount of revenue recorded in the financial statements as well as additional disclosures. The impact if any of AASB 15 has not yet been quantified. (ii) AASB 9 Financial Instruments AASB 9 makes significant revisions to the classification and measurement of financial assets, reducing the number of categories and simplifying the measurement choices, including the removal of impairment testing of assets measured at fair value. The amortised cost model is available for debt assets meeting both business model and cash flow characteristics tests. All investments in equity instruments using AASB 9 are to be measured at fair value. AASB 9 amends measurement rules for financial liabilities that the entity elects to measure at fair value through profit and loss. Changes in fair value attributable to changes in the entity’s own credit risk are presented in other comprehensive income. Impairment of assets is now based on expected losses in AASB 9, which requires entities to measure: • the 12-month expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date); or • full lifetime expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the life of the financial instrument). The effective date is annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The impact if any of AASB 9 has yet to be quantified. Other standards and interpretations have been issued at the reporting date but are not yet effective. When adopted, these standards and interpretations are likely to impact on the financial information presented; however, the assessment of impact has not yet been completed. 2. Critical accounting estimates and judgements The Group makes certain estimates and assumptions concerning the future which, by definition, will seldom represent actual results. Estimates and assumptions based on future events have a significant inherent risk and where future events are not as anticipated, there could be a material impact on the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities discussed on the following page. 46 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015 (a) Impairment of goodwill The intangible asset of goodwill is subject to periodic review to assess if its carrying value has been impaired. This assessment compares the carrying book value with the recoverable amount of these assets using value in-use discounted cash flow projection calculations based on management’s determination of budgeted cash flow projections and gross margins, past performance and its expectations for the future. The valuation utilises the billing business segment of the Board-approved budget for the subsequent fiscal year (being the business segment to which goodwill applies), and: • provides for a constant 5% growth rate (2014: 3%) for the remainder of the forecast period; and • utilises a 12% (2014:14.5%) weighted cost of capital discount rate; to • determine the discounted value of the resultant cash flow over a five-year period, plus terminal value using a terminal growth rate of 2% (2014: 3%) at period end. (b) Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill All assets are assessed for impairment at each reporting date by evaluating whether indicators of impairment exist in relation to the continued use of the asset by the consolidated entity. Impairment triggers include declining product or manufacturing performance, technology changes, adverse changes in the economic or political environment or future product expectations. If an indicator of impairment exists the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. (c) Income tax Income tax benefits are based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in the income tax legislation and the anticipation that the Group will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. Recognition of carried forward losses is based upon the probable future profits of the Group. (d) Research and development Development costs incurred are assessed for each research and development project and a percentage of the expenditure is capitalised when technical feasibility studies demonstrate that the project will deliver future economic benefits and those benefits can be measured reliably. There has been investment in research and development expenditure incurred in relation to the HUB, Peace, ICC, Banner and NaviBilling software in the 2015 year. Returns are expected to be derived from this investment over coming years. 3. Foreign currency translations and balances Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign controlled entities are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate reserve within equity. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. 4. Financial risk management The consolidated entity is exposed to a variety of financial risks comprising: (a) interest rate risk; (b) credit risk; (c) liquidity and foreign exchange risk; and (d) fair values. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for identifying and managing operational and financial risks. (a) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. 47 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015 Notes to the Financial Statements continued 30 June 2015 4. Financial risk management continued The consolidated entity’s exposure to interest rate risk in relation to future cash flows and the effective weighted average interest rates on classes of financial assets and financial liabilities is as follows: Financial Instruments 2015 Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Receivables Other current assets Financial liabilities Payables Deferred consideration Borrowings 2014 Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Receivables Other current assets Financial liabilities Payables Borrowings Consolidated Entity Interest Bearing $’000 Non-interest Bearing $’000 Note Total Carrying Amount $’000 Weighted Avg.

No other financial assets or liabilities are expected to be exposed to interest rate risk. Post balance date the term facility drawn down to $10 million as at 30 June 2015 was fully repaid on 8 July 2015. (b) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security at balance date of recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount of those assets net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position and notes to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated entity does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments entered into by the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity minimises concentrations of credit risk in relation to trade receivables by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers. Concentrations of credit risk on trade debtors are with customers in the following industries: utilities 21% (2014: 37%), finance sector 0% (2014: 4%), telecommunications 32% (2014: 18%), Pay TV 44% (2014: 35%) and other 3% (2014: 6%). 48 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015 (c) Liquidity and foreign exchange risk Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Group has historically been able to generate and retain strong positive cash flows and in addition a multi-currency line of credit has been established with the Company’s bankers to provide increased capacity for strategic growth objectives. The Hansen Group operates internationally and as such has exposure to foreign currency movements as part of its day-to-day operational activities. The Group has expanded its international operations substantially in recent years to the extent that in excess of 60% of its revenue is now earned in foreign currency designated transactions. The Group has a number of offices located internationally and more than 50% of its work force is located overseas and paid in foreign currencies. Accordingly the Group has an in-built natural hedge against major currency fluctuation and with the exception of significant sudden change, is protected in part by its corporate structure against currency movements so that the impact is largely limited to the margin. The Group’s borrowings are predominantly made up of $10 million drawn down from our $30 million secured facility (refer to note 15). Management has treated the entire borrowing as current to reflect its intended repayment, which has subsequently occurred on 8 July 2015. Lease liabilities of $0.46 million are due for repayment by January 2020. Trade creditors are due for repayment within six months. (d) Fair value measurements The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities approximates their carrying amounts as disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position and notes to the consolidated financial statements. Included in ‘Other Payables’ is a liability for deferred consideration measured at fair value on a recurring basis, expected to be paid in relation to a business combination dated 1 May 2015. There are no other assets or liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis. (i) Fair value hierarchy Asset and liabilities measured and recognised at fair value have been determined by the following fair value measurement hierarchy: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Input other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. Deferred consideration liabilities totalling $2,281,000 are measured and recognised at fair value and have been determined to be a recurring Level 3 financial liability. (ii) Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs The deferred consideration is based on management’s best and most probable estimate of the business performance targets. In determining the fair value of the deferred consideration, management considers the probability of business targets being met by comparison to budget. A fair value is placed on the option that the seller has to receive, either cash or shares in Hansen Technologies Ltd at a pre-determined price using the Black-Scholes model. The entire deferred consideration payment is dependent on performance criteria being met. Under the arrangement the minimum deferred consideration amount is $nil and the maximum is dependent on the movement in the Hansen share price from the pre-determined price per share (which was included in the contract) and the value as at the date the amount becomes payable. (iii) Reconciliation of recurring Level 3 fair value movements 2015 Opening balance Deferred consideration from business acquisition Movement in foreign currency Change in fair value of deferred consideration Closing balance Level 3 Liability $’000 - 1,881 106 294 2,281 49 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015 Notes to the Financial Statements continued 30 June 2015 5.

At shareholders meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is called. (d) Share options Employee Share Option Plan The Employee Share Option Plan (the Plan) was approved by shareholders at the Company’s AGM on 9 November 2001 and reaffirmed at the AGM on 24 November 2011. The maximum number of options on issue under the Plan must not at any time exceed 7.5% of the total number of ordinary shares on issue at that time. The Board may issue options under the Plan to any employee of the Company and its subsidiaries, including Executive Directors, but excluding Non-Executive Directors. Options will be issued free of charge, unless the Board determines otherwise. Each option is to subscribe for one ordinary share and, when issued, the shares will rank equally with other shares. The options are not transferable. Quotation of the options on the ASX will not be sought, but the Company will apply to the ASX for official quotation of shares issued on the exercise of options. Options may be granted subject to conditions specified by the Board, which must be satisfied before the option can be exercised. Unless the terms on which an option was offered specified otherwise, an option may be exercised at any time after the vesting date. An option may also be exercised in special circumstances, that is, at any time within six months after the employee’s death, total and permanent disablement, retirement or retrenchment. An option lapses 28 days after termination of the employee’s employment with the Company and, unless the terms of the offer of the option specify otherwise, lapses five years after the date upon which it was granted. The Directors have the discretion to vary the terms of the options as deemed appropriate. The exercise price per share for an option will be the amount determined by the Board at the time of the grant of the option. Option holders will not be entitled to participate in any new issue of securities in the Company unless they exercise their options prior to the record date for the determination of entitlements to the new issue. If the Company makes a bonus issue of securities to ordinary shareholders, each unexercised option will, on exercise, entitle its holder to receive the bonus securities as if the option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue. If the Company makes a pro-rata rights issue of ordinary shares for cash to its ordinary shareholders, the exercise price of unexercised options may be adjusted to reflect the diluting effect of the issue. If there is any reorganisation of the capital of the Company, the exercise price of the options will be adjusted in accordance with the Listing Rules. Options issued under the Employee Share Option Plan are valued on the same basis as those issued to KMP. Refer to note 23 for disclosure regarding valuation inputs. Since the end of the financial year 1,000,000 (2014: 1,115,000) share options have been granted under this scheme. 59 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015 Notes to the Financial Statements continued 30 June 2015 17.

Shares to be issued or transferred under the ESP will be valued at the volume weighted average share price of shares traded on the ASX in the ordinary course of trading during the five business days immediately preceding the day the shares are issued or transferred to qualifying employees or participants. The Board has discretion as to how the shares are to be issued or transferred to participants. Such shares may be acquired on or off market or the Company may allot shares or they may be obtained by any combination of the foregoing. On application, employees pay no application monies. The amount of the consideration to be provided by qualifying employees to acquire the shares can be foregone from future remuneration (before tax). To qualify, employees must be full-time or permanent part-time employees of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. Shares issued under the ESP will rank equally in all respects with all existing shares from the date of allotment. A participant must not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares issued or transferred to the participant under the ESP until the earlier of: (a) the end of the period of three years (or if a longer period is specified by the Board in the offer, the end of that period) commencing on the date of the issue or transfer of the shares to the participant; and (b) the date on which the participant is no longer employed by the Company or a related body corporate of the Company. Details of the movement in employee shares under the ESP are as follows: Number of shares at beginning of year Number of shares distributed to employees Number of shares transferred to main share registry and/or disposed of Number of shares at year end Consolidated Entity 2015 No. of Shares 397,577 65,720 (133,971) 329,326 2014 No. of Shares 421,684 134,240 (158,347) 397,577 The consideration for the shares issued on 27 April 2015 was $2.3534 (16 May 2014: $1.1909).

Share-based payments represent a value attributed to options over ordinary shares issued to executives. They expire during the period up to 2 July 2019. Each option entitles the holder to purchase one ordinary share in the Company. The share-based payment value disclosed above is calculated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. For those options issued to key management personnel this year the Black Scholes model applied a: • share price volatility factor in respect of the Company’s historical share price movement compared with the industry average, for a period equal to the three-year option vesting period of 25%; • a continuously compounding risk-free interest rate of 2.96%; • a probability factor for the likelihood of the options being exercised based on historical trends of 80%; and • compared the issue price ($1.30 cents per share) with the market price on day of issue ($1.30 cents per share); to • determine a weighted average fair value for the options issued as at grant date of $0.200 cents per option. 69 Hansen Technologies LtdAnnual Report 2015 Notes to the Financial Statements continued 30 June 2015 23.

Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Report is free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Financial Report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation of the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Financial Report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
