INTRODUCTIONFrom  
the Chair

DAVID FLACKS

Dear Shareholder.

When Neil Roberts founded Harmoney in 2014  
as an ambitious peer-to-peer lending startup,  
I was invited to join its Board. Neil had a 
pioneering vision for the company: to connect 
Kiwis who wanted to lend money with Kiwis  
who wanted to borrow it.

That seemingly simple proposition was encouraged by the government and 

represented a radical shake-up of New Zealand’s personal lending market. 

It was an attempt to challenge the status quo and give New Zealander 

borrowers access to fairer, risk-based interest rates on loans that would 

help them get ahead; and New Zealand lenders access to retail funding 

opportunities. 

At that point, Harmoney was basically Neil and a few other people (most of 

whom are still with the company) in a small office together. Seven years on, 

Harmoney’s transformation is remarkable: loans totalling over NZ$2.1bn; over 

80 employees in New Zealand and Australia; and a dual listing on the ASX 

and the NZX.

An important moment in Harmoney’s journey came in late 2019, when  

Neil handed the CEO role to David Stevens. Dave brought a wealth of 

experience in the Australasian non-bank lending space and was instrumental 

in our successful IPO. This also freed Neil up to concentrate on Harmoney’s 

continuing technological innovation, in his role as Chief Product Officer. 

Like any startup that aims to disrupt an established market, we’ve  

faced significant headwinds to get to where we are today. We needed to 

educate the public and the regulators on what we were trying to achieve 

HARMONEYANNUAL REPORT 2021for New Zealanders. It’s taken time for us to be able to move on from the 

specific regulatory challenges we faced, but happily, those are now behind 

us. The entire Harmoney team also did an extraordinary job of getting 

through the initial shockwaves of Covid-19 in 2020. 

Some of those headwinds contributed to us reshaping our business, away 

from a peer-to-peer model and towards simpler on-balance sheet lending. 

Nonetheless, the business is still based on its foundational principles of fair, 

risk-based interest rates, market-leading technology and direct-to-customer 

lending. We see tremendous opportunities to build on these foundations as 

we push deeper into the Australian market. 

Harmoney is ideally placed for growth in Australia because of several key 

competitive advantages. First, we’re the largest 100% consumer-direct 

money platform in Australia/New Zealand. By not using brokers, we achieve 

higher margins and can generate repeat business at minimal additional cost. 

Our new Australian scorecard has also given us a distinct customer data 

advantage. Not only is this increasing conversion, but it enables us to build 

more targeted and efficient digital marketing and communications. 

Our tech-first credit scoring means most of our conversion process is 

automated as well as providing world-class accuracy, allowing us to achieve 

scale without significant increases in overhead costs. And after building a 

great brand presence in New Zealand, we are now focusing our efforts on 

Australia in the coming months, to build significant brand awareness.

Most of these strategic focuses were outlined in our IPO prospectus.  

I am proud of the way the company has executed its plan and strategy since 

listing. We are very grateful to our shareholders, and excited about  

the growth potential ahead of us. 

With a view to our potential for expansion in Australia, we welcomed  

Paul Lahiff to Harmoney’s Board this year. Paul has significant governance 

experience in the Australian financial services sector. Just as Neil recognised 

the ideal moment to hand the reins to David Stevens, I believe that this  

is the right time to step down as Chair, while remaining on the Board until  

a replacement Independent Director is appointed, and hand over to Paul. 

It has been a privilege to help establish Harmoney as one of Australasia’s 

leading personal lenders. Paul is the ideal person to chair the company 

through the exciting growth phase ahead. 

Finally, my thanks to David, Neil, my other fellow board members, and 

the Harmoney team for their hard work and dedication; and to all our 

shareholders for your support of Harmoney.

David Flacks,

Chair.

INTRODUCTIONFrom the 
Chief Executive

DAVID STEVENS

The transition from private ownership to a 
public listing is a huge moment for any company. 
Harmoney’s dual listing on the ASX and NZX last 
November was the next step in our continuing 
expansion, all the more pleasing because it came 
against the backdrop of an unprecedented global 
pandemic. 

So I’d like to start by acknowledging the entire Harmoney team for the 

enormous effort and commitment they showed in achieving the IPO.  

Harmoney’s momentum grows.

Australia has been our core focus since going public, and demand for 

Harmoney’s unique 100% direct-to-consumer model has been gratifyingly 

strong—loan originations in Australia increased 22% ($23m) from the 

previous year to $125m. But the real story is our momentum: our Australian 

originations grew 93% from $43m in the first half to $82m in the second 

half. This momentum was due to Harmoney’s two key strategic advantages:  

our unequalled commitment to direct-to-consumer marketing, and Libra 1.7,  

our first behavioural scorecard designed specifically for the Australian 

market. 

This is our unique point-of-difference: we are solely focused on a direct-to-

consumer model. By building direct relationships with our consumers rather 

than relying on brokers, we are able to generate subsequent business from 

them for little or no additional marketing expense. We call this our “3R” 

approach: Repeat, Return, Renew. In New Zealand “3R” customers now 

make up a high proportion of total originations. We expect 

HARMONEYANNUAL REPORT 2021From the

Chief Executive

the same in Australia as our portfolio grows. Better yet, our direct model also 

gives Harmoney direct consumer insights: we’re simultaneously building data 

superiority that means every new Libra release is creating better-than-ever 

conversions and credit performance. As you’ll see later in the report, 

because Libra automates so much of the credit scoring process very 

accurately, we can scale growth without scaling costs. It’s a powerful model 

that’s allowed us to dominate the New Zealand online personal lending 

market in a few short years.

A year of two halves.

This year was for us as it was for everyone else, a tale of two halves. During 

the first half, in response to the uncertainty of early COVID-19, tightened 

credit criteria and marketing expenditure slowed originations. Even so, our 

execution prior to that led to first-half originations of $194m, which was a 

29% increase on the prior half. Then as economic conditions improved and 

Our direct model also 
gives Harmoney direct 
consumer insights: 
we’re simultaneously 
building data superiority 
that means every new 
Libra release is creating 
better-than-ever 
conversions and credit 
performance.

marketing returned to normal levels 

our second half originations reached 

$250m, a further 29% increase on the 

first half of the year. For the year ended 

30 June 2021 the Group reported 

break even pro forma Cash NPAT. Net 

lending margin improved by $2.8m (9%) 

to $33m. Post IPO we increased our 

investment in origination growth and 

development of our Stellare platform.  

The loan portfolio ended the year at 

$501m, with Australia contributing 

strongly and New Zealand returning to 

growth in Q4. The portfolio movement 

largely tracked originations, with growth 

partly impacted by borrowers repaying 

their loans early, taking advantage 

of the low interest environment to  refinance through home mortgages, 

particularly in New Zealand where historically low fixed rates were available. 

Harmoney’s continued focus on balanced business fundamentals to support 

long-term growth has enabled us to maintain a strong net interest margin of 

10.6% and, with lower credit losses as a percentage of the portfolio, increase 

our net lending margin to 6.8% from 5.8% last year.

We end the year with significant capacity to fund expansion, with NZ$205 

million in undrawn capacity—$99m in Australia capacity (supported by a 

Big-4 Bank backed warehouse). In January 2021, a UK-based global insurer 

provided our second New Zealand warehouse. This ongoing support of our 

warehouse funders points to our prudent management and strong credit 

performance.

The opportunities ahead.

With strong brand momentum our 100% consumer-direct model and scale, 

Harmoney has an extremely positive growth trajectory for FY22 and beyond. 

It’s worth noting that while the pandemic has created massive challenges 

for the global economy, it has also rapidly accelerated consumers’ online 

adoption across all categories. It also saw them continue to abandon 

traditional banks for fast, simple, online personal lending, so there is no end 

to category growth in sight. This category growth combined with Harmoney’s 

fundamental strategic advantages has meant constant improvements in book 

growth, revenue growth and conversion. As we further expand Harmoney’s 

presence and brand awareness in Australia from 2022 onwards, we see 

significant opportunities ahead.

CEO and Managing Director.

up for sale, Robert purchased it with  
a bank loan and converted it into  
studios where the passion and creative

It’s both a tribute to his late wife and a

For the year ended 30 June 2021 the Group reported a pro forma Cash NPAT of -$0.4m (2020: $2.8m), a reduction of $3.2m. 
Net lending margin1 improved by $2.8m (9%), but was outweighed by increases to marketing ($3.9m), personnel ($2.7m) and 
administrative expenses ($1.5m). The increase in marketing expenses was driven by increased activity post the Group’s initial 
public offering (‘IPO’) including the Group’s rapid expansion in the Australian market. The increase in personnel costs was driven 
by investment in additional developers for the Group’s proprietary StellareTM platform, post the Group’s IPO. The increase in 
administrative expenses was driven by costs associated with establishing more efficient funding structures and additional public 
company costs.

Loan originations for the year were $444m, an increase of $24m (6%) on the prior year. During the first half, in response to 
COVID-19,  tightened  credit  criteria  and  marketing  expenditure  restrictions  remained  in  place,  slowing  originations.  These 
measures  were  progressively  unwound  as  economic  conditions  improved,  with  marketing  returning  to  normal  levels  in  the 
second  half  of  the  year.  First  half  originations  were  $194m,  a  29%  increase  on  the  prior  half.  Second  half  originations  were 

$250m, a further 29% increase on the first half of the year. 

In the first half of the year, particularly in the first quarter, originations were focused on 3Rs2 customers, reducing marketing 
expenditure, with the size and maturity of the New Zealand portfolio in particular, continuing to generate significant originations.

Loan originations in Australia were $125m, an increase of $23m on the prior year. First half originations were $43m, increasing 
93% to $82m in the second half as Harmoney’s direct to customer marketing program accelerated in Australia post its IPO and 

with the successful implementation of Harmoney’s Libra 1.7 scorecard in February 2021. In the second half of the year new 
customer originations in Australia were $50m, comprising 60% of total Australian originations. This provides a strong pipeline 
for 3Rs originations, which lag new originations, as those new customers later return, seeking to borrow for further needs. As 
the Australian portfolio grows and matures it is expected to trend towards the New Zealand New/3Rs origination mix.

Interest income for the year was $78.6m, a decrease of $6.7m on the prior year driven by the lower average portfolio size over

The average funding rate, which represents interest expense as a percentage of the average funding debt, decreased to 5.8% 
from 6.3% in the prior year driven by continuation of the Group’s transition to warehouse funding, reaching 61% of the portfolio

(24%) from the prior year. Incurred credit loss to average loan portfolio, which represents incurred credit loss as a percentage 
of the portfolio, decreased to 3.9% from 4.8% in the prior year.

The Group’s expected credit loss (ECL) provision at 30 June 2021 was $28.3m, representing 5.6% of the portfolio, down from 
5.7% of the portfolio at 30 June 2020. 

The reduction in the ECL provision rate was primarily driven by improvement in the credit performance of the portfolio over the 
year.  The  ECL  provision  was  also  moderated  by  a  reduction  in  the  overlay  applied  by  management  to  adjust  for  future 

macroeconomic factors not incorporated within the base provisioning model. This reduction in the economic overlay adjustment 
was in response to the easing of economic uncertainty associated with COVID-19 from the circumstances persisting at 30 June 
2020, however the adjustment remains higher than pre-COVID-19 levels reflecting management's assessment that economic 
uncertainty remains elevated.

The Groups direct expenses are those that drive, or are driven by, the level of customer activity, being marketing and customer 
verification and servicing. 

Marketing expenses increased to $16.5m in the year from $12.6m in the prior year. This was primarily driven by the Group’s rapid 

post IPO scale up in the Australian market with average quarterly origination growth of 40% achieved during the year. 

Customer verification and serving costs increased to $3.6m in the year from $3.4m in the prior year on increased originations. 

A consequence of Harmoney’s direct to consumer model is that marketing expenses are recognised when incurred, rather than 
over  the  expected  life  of  the  loan,  causing  these  costs  to  significantly  lead  the  associated  interest  income.  Accordingly, 

Harmoney believes that for marketing expenditure the cost to origination ratio is a better measure of efficiency, comparing the 
expenditure in the period to the loans originated in the period.  

For Harmoney, the timing difference between marketing expenditure and the revenue that it generates is compounded with 
Harmoney’s successful 3Rs strategy, which generates subsequent originations from existing customers for little or no additional 

marketing expense, due to the direct relationship with the customer. The chart below illustrates that in the longer established 
New Zealand portfolio where 3Rs originations are a much higher proportion of total originations, the marketing expense to total 
originations ratio is significantly lower.

Personnel expenses (excluding share based payments) increased to $9.2m in the year from $6.5m in the prior year on increased 
investment in Harmoney’s proprietary StellareTM technology platform, following its IPO in November. 

Administrative  expenses  increased  to  $4.9m  in  the  year  from  $3.5m  in  the  prior  year  with  the  increase  primarily  driven  by 
additional public company costs and costs associated with establishing more efficient funding structures, with three warehouse 
facilities currently operating across New Zealand and Australia and an additional New Zealand and Australian facility in advanced 
negotiations.

Statutory to pro forma reconciliation 

The table below sets out the pro forma adjustments applied to the statutory consolidated income statement, for the year ended 
30 June 2021 and the prior comparative period. The pro forma adjustments are consistent with those made in the Prospectus 
and  are  intended  to  provide  a  more  meaningful  view  of  the  Group’s  operating  performance,  normalising  for  differences  in 
statutory accounting treatment between warehouse and peer-to-peer funded loans.

In the statutory income statement, loans funded via warehouse facilities are recorded on-balance sheet, while loans funded via the Group’s peer-to-peer trusts are 
off-balance sheet for accounting purposes. As the Group is transitioning to full warehouse funding, this creates income statement comparability issues between 
periods. As such a pro forma adjustment has been made to present the income statement consistently with recognition of peer-to-peer funded loans on-balance 
sheet,  indifferent  to  funding  sources.  In  the  statutory  income  statement,  for  loans  funded  by  the  Group’s  peer-to-peer  trusts,  expected  lifetime  fee  income  is 
recognised on loan origination, in contrast with warehouse funding where interest income and interest expense are recognised over the life of the loan. The interest 
income adjustment recognises interest income earned during the period from peer-to-peer funded loans. 
For the reasons set out in note 1, the fee income adjustment removes fees earned from peer-to-peer funded loans with establishment fees being recognised in the 
pro  forma  income  statement  through  interest  income  over  the  expected  life  of  the  loan  and  peer-to-peer  lender  fees  being  recognised  in  the  pro  forma  as  a 
deduction from interest expense. The fee income adjustment also reclassifies borrower dishonour and late fees to other income. 
The other income adjustment reclassifies borrower dishonour and late fees from fee income in the statutory income statement to other income in the pro forma 
income statement and, for consistency with the pro forma income statement presented in the Prospectus, removes non-recurring benefit of the Wage Subsidy 
Scheme in New Zealand and the JobKeeper wage subsidy in Australia and in the prior comparative period removes grant income which the Group expects on a go 
forward basis it would not be eligible to receive on the revised application of its accounting policy for the capitalisation of eligible research and development applied 
from the current period. 
For the reasons set out in note 1, the interest expense adjustment recognises net interest paid to peer-to-peer lenders after deducting impairments and fees owed 
to the Group and, for consistency with the pro forma income statement presented in the Prospectus, removes the interest expense relating to the corporate debt 
facility, which was repaid prior to the IPO. 
For the reasons set out in note 1, the impairment expenses adjustment recognises, for peer-to-peer funded loans, both actual impairment costs and the movement 
in expected credit loss provision during the period. 
For consistency with the pro forma income statement presented in the Prospectus, the personnel expenses have been adjusted to remove the impact of the salary 
reductions taken by employees and, in the prior comparative period, remove the portion of costs that the Group estimates could have been capitalised had the 
current period application of the Group's accounting policy for the capitalisation of eligible research and development expenditure applied. 
For consistency with the pro forma income statement presented in the Prospectus, the depreciation and amortisation expenses for the prior comparative period 
adds the Group's estimate of amortisation of capitalised research and development expenditure had the Group's current period application of its accounting policy 
for the capitalisation of eligible research and development expenditure been applied in prior periods. 
For consistency with the pro forma income statement presented in the Prospectus, the general and administrative expenses adjustment in the prior comparative 
period removes the establishment costs relating to the corporate debt facility, which was repaid prior to the IPO, and adds the Group’s estimate of additional public 
company costs associated with being a publicly listed entity. 
The income tax benefit adjustment represents the cumulative income tax expense on the pro forma adjustments at an effective income tax rate of 28%.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 

Notes to the Consolidated  
Financial Statements 

For the year ended 30 June 2021 

1  Corporate information 

Harmoney Corp Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Group) are companies whose primary business is 
to originate, service and invest in loans. There has been no change in the principal activity of the Group during the period. 

The results and position of each Group entity are expressed in New Zealand dollars, which is the functional currency of the 
Company and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise stated. 

Harmoney Corp Limited is a company incorporated in New Zealand and registered under the Companies Act 1993, whose shares 
are publicly traded on both the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) and New Zealand Exchange (NZX) and is required to be treated 
as a reporting entity under the Financial Market Conducts Act 2013 and the Financial Reporting Act 2013 as it is a licensed peer-
to-peer lender. The Company was incorporated on 1 May 2014.  

These consolidated financial statements are for the year ended 30 June 2021 while the comparative information is for the 15 
month period ended 30 June 2020 and accordingly, the results are not directly comparable. 

2  Significant accounting policies 

2.1  Basis of preparation 
The consolidated financial statements of Harmoney Corp Limited comply with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial 
Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New 
Zealand (GAAP). The Company is a for-profit entity for the purposes of complying with GAAP. 

The  Group  has  transitioned  from  NZ  IFRS  Reduced  Disclosure  Regime  to  NZ  IFRS  and  International  Financial  Reporting 
Standards (IFRS). There were no recognition or measurement differences arising from the Group's transition. 

The  Consolidated  group  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  following  the  historical  cost  convention,  except  where 
otherwise  identified.  Financial  assets  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value  and  are  subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost 

using the effective interest rate method, less any expected credit loss allowance. The comparatives have been regrouped for 
consistency with the current year presentation. The comparatives have not been restated. 

The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position has been prepared in order of liquidity, including the comparatives. All assets 
and liabilities are current unless otherwise stated in the notes. The disaggregation of amounts receivable and payable in the 

next twelve months and beyond is outlined in the accompanying notes to the financial statements and the maturity profile of 
financial liabilities is outlined in note 28. 

2.2  Basis of consolidation 
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities (including structured 
entities) controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company: 

Ÿ  has power over the investee; 
Ÿ 
Ÿ  has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. 

is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and 

HARMONEY 

PAGE 33 

 
The assets and liabilities of entities whose functional currency is not the New Zealand dollar are translated at the exchange 
rates  ruling  at  balance  date.  Revenue  and  expense  items  are  translated  at  the  spot  rate  at  the  transaction  date  or  a  rate 

approximating that rate. Exchange differences are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve. 

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the 
Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. 

2.3  Goods and services tax 
Revenue, expenses, assets, and liabilities are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST) except: 

Ÿ where the amount of GST incurred is not recovered from the taxation authority, the unrecoverable GST expense is

Ÿ

included in the related expense item in the income statement.
receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST (the net amount of GST recoverable from or payable
to the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables).

Ÿ cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

2.4

Application of new and revised accounting standards 

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2021 reporting 

periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the 
Group in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions. The Interest Rate Benchmark Reform 
– Amendments to IFRS 7, IFRS 9 and IAS 39 will have no impact as the Group does not have any IBOR-based contracts.

3  Significant changes in the current reporting period 

ASX Listing and Initial Public Offering (IPO) 
On 19 November 2020, the Company completed an IPO and listed on the ASX with a secondary listing on the NZX. Refer to 
note 23 for further details. 

4  Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 

The preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and 

assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses and actual results may differ from 
these estimates. 

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

periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. 

Expected credit loss provision 

4.1 
The Group has estimated the provision for expected credit losses (ECL) based on historically observed patterns of borrower 
behaviour adjusted for current and future economic outcomes. These are discussed in detail in note 17 and have a significant 
impact on these financial statements. 

The Group measures the allowance for ECL using an expected credit loss impairment model as required by NZ IFRS 9 Financial 
Instruments  (NZ  IFRS  9).  The  Group’s  accounting  policy  for  the  recognition  and  measurement  of  the  allowance  for  ECL  is 
described at note 17. 

HARMONEY 

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 

4.2  Determination of transaction price for distributing services 
In  respect  of  peer-to-peer  funded  loans,  the  Group  has  estimated  the  transaction  price  for  distributing  services,  being  the 
amount to which the Group expects to be entitled for matching peer-to-peer lenders with borrowers that meet their lending 
criteria. The transaction price includes a component of variable consideration as the amount of certain payments is correlated 
with  borrower  behaviour  over  which  the  Group  has  no  control.  The  Group  has  estimated  the  transaction  price  based  on 
historically observed patterns of borrower behaviour. The assumptions made regarding the rate of default and early repayment 
by borrowers has a significant impact on these financial statements. 

The  Group  measures  the  transaction  price  including  variable  consideration  to  determine  income  as  required  by  NZ  IFRS  15 
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (NZ IFRS 15). The Group's accounting policy for the recognition and measurement of 
this income is described in note 7. The transaction price is determined based on models of expected customer behaviour which 
are informed by historical experience. An overlay has been applied to reduce the amount of income recognised to accommodate 
for the expected deviation from that base given current uncertainties. 

4.3  Treatment of development costs incurred in the period 
The Group has incurred and will continue to incur significant costs on software development projects. The directors believe that 
the costs fall within the definition of research and development within NZ IAS 38 Intangible Assets. Judgement has been applied 
in assessing these costs against the recognition and measurement criteria in that standard. The costs have been recorded as 

Intangible Assets on the balance sheet where the Group believes that they have met all the requirements of the recognition 
criteria outlined in the accounting policy (note 19) and expensed where they have not been met. 

4.4  Deferred tax asset relating to tax losses 
NZ IAS 12 Income Taxes allows the capitalisation of tax losses as deferred tax assets only to the extent that there is convincing 
evidence that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses can be utilised. The tax loss position of 

the  Group  arose  from  significant  one-off  costs,  including  those  related  to  the  IPO,  that  will  not  re-occur  and  a  strategic 
repositioning. The Group is transitioning to originating loans on balance sheet, and while in the growth phase, this creates a tax 
profile of high costs being incurred in the short-term and income over time. The Group has estimated the amount of deferred 
tax assets for which there is convincing evidence that utilisation will occur in the medium term and disclosed the remainder as 

unrecognised deferred tax assets. 

5  Segment reporting 

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision 
maker.  The  chief  operating  decision  maker,  who  is  responsible  for  allocating  resources  and  assessing  performance  of  the 

operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer (considered to be the CODM). 

5.1  Description of segments 
The CODM considers the business from a geographical operating perspective and has identified two reportable segments: New 
Zealand and Australia. This is a change from previous segment reporting, where there was a third segment for centrally incurred 
costs allocated to Head Office. The CODM considers performance for New Zealand and Australia with costs allocated as the 

Australian business has now matured. This change has been reflected in the comparative period.  

The CODM assesses the business on a Cash NPAT basis. Cash NPAT is a non-GAAP measure and consists of profit/(loss) after 
income  tax,  adjusted  for  determined  non-cash  and  abnormal  items.  It  is  intended  as  a  supplementary  measure  of  operating 
performance for readers to understand the cash generating ability of the Group. Cash NPAT does not have a standard meaning 
prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be compared to information presented by other entities. 

Intersegment  revenue  is  not  considered  by  the  chief  operating  decision  maker  and  is  accordingly  excluded  from  segment 
reporting. 

5.2  Major customers 
There are no customers who account for more than 10% of the Group’s revenue for the year ended 30 June 2021 (2020: 10% 

of the Group’s revenue was received from transactions with a single external customer).

Interest income and interest expense are recognised in the Income Statement for all financial assets and liabilities measured at 

amortised cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method allocates interest income or interest expense 
over the life of the contract, or when appropriate a shorter period, using the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate is 
the discount rate at which the present value of the future cash flows equals the net carrying amount of the financial asset or 
liability.  Where  the  Group  is  the  lender,  origination  fees  are  required  to  be  amortised  over  the  expected  life  of  the  finance 

receivable in accordance with NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The deferred amount is recognised as a reduction to the finance 
receivable (note 17).

Establishment services 
Establishment fees are a brokerage fee charged to borrowers on peer-to-peer loans for arranging the loan. The performance 

obligation of arranging the loan is fulfilled at the point in time the loan is matched. Given only one material performance obligation 
the  transaction  price  is  allocated  to  the  single  performance  obligation.  The  Borrower  establishment  fee  rebate  relates  to 
movements in the provision for rebate (note 22) and the basis for the rebate is disclosed in note 31. 

Protect Fees 
In New Zealand, some of the finance receivable assets have the payment protect feature attached. If the borrower under the 

loan contract has elected the payment protect feature and makes a successful claim within the required period, principal and 
interest repayments covered by the claim will be waived by the lender. No amounts are paid to the borrower in the event of a 
waiver.  

Protect fee revenue is the amount charged to the borrower for the payment protect feature on finance receivables. This Protect 

fee revenue is recognised in the income statement from the attachment date over the period of the contract. Protect fee revenue 
is earned in accordance with the pattern of the underlying exposure to risk expected under the payment protect feature of the 
loan contract. The portion of Protect fee revenue included in the financial receivable asset but not yet earned as at the balance 
date is included in payables and accruals as waiver fee revenue in advance (note 20). 

Where the loan is off balance sheet, the Protect fee revenue is the amount charged to the peer-to-peer lender for arrangement 
and management of the Protect loan. Given only one material performance obligation, the transaction price is allocated to the 
single performance obligation. At the point the performance obligation of matching the lender with a borrower is satisfied, the 
Group estimates and records as revenue the amount of variable consideration to the extent that it is highly probable that a 

significant reversal in the cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The Group’s estimate of rebateable amounts is included 
in provision as distributing services rebate provision (note 22). 

Other fees 
Other fees include fees charged when borrower repayments are dishonoured or in arrears. A performance obligation arises 
every time the credit event occurs. The Group performs the debt collection activity following every credit event and recognises 

revenue at the point in time the follow up activity is undertaken. Given only one material performance obligation the transaction 
price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Revenue is recognised only to the extent that it is likely that the amount 
will be recovered.

Distributing services 
Distributing services refer to Harmoney facilitating the matching of credit worthy borrowers with off balance sheet lenders within 
criteria chosen by the lender. The fees charged for this service are recognised at the point matching is complete and to the 

extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. Given only one material performance obligation the 
transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. 

Payment for distributing services is made by the lender via a combination of fees payable at the point of matching with a borrower 
when borrower repayments are received and on a monthly invoice cycle where fees are calculated based on lender portfolio 
performance.  

Certain fees charged at the point of matching lenders with borrowers are rebateable if the lender does not achieve the required 
return on their investment.  This is typically due to the borrower loan closing earlier than stated on their contract due to early 
repayment or default. At the point the performance obligation of matching the lender with a borrower is satisfied, the Group 

estimates and records as revenue the amount of variable consideration to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant 
reversal  in  the  cumulative  revenue  recognised  will  not  occur.  The  Group's  estimate  of  rebateable  amounts  are  booked  as 
distributing services rebate provision note 22.

Grant and wage subsidy 
Grants from the New Zealand Government are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant 
will be received, and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. Harmoney received grants related to Research and 

Development activity as funded by Callaghan Innovation and the R&D Loss Tax Credit as funded by Inland Revenue. Grants that 
compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same periods in which 
the expenses are recognised. 

The  Group  received  $239,006  (2020:  $452,923)  of  wage  subsidies  funded  by  the  Ministry  of  Social  Development  for  New 

Zealand operations. The subsidy was part of the New Zealand Government's COVID-19 response plan. The wage subsidy was 
predicated  on  certain  criteria  which  were  considered  in  the  Group's  application.  The  Group  also  received  $23,813  (2020: 
$32,185) of JobKeeper subsidies and $106,361 (2020: $Nil) of Cash flow boost grant funded by the Australian Tax Office, these 
are recognised as wage subsidies above. The subsidy and grant were predicated on certain criteria which were considered in 

the Group's application.

Change in expected credit loss provision 
The expense is recognised when there is a movement in the provision due to the composition of the finance receivables (note 
17). For example, due to the growth in the finance receivable. 

Incurred credit loss 
Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as the borrower failing to engage in 
a repayment plan with the Group. The Group categorises a finance receivable as incurred credit loss when the borrower fails to 

make contractual payments more than 120 days past due. Where finance receivables have been written off, the Group continues 
to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognised 
in profit or loss.

The tax rate used for the reconciliation above is the corporate tax rate of 28% payable by corporate entities in New Zealand 
and 30% for those in Australia, on taxable profits under tax law in their respective jurisdictions. 

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. 

HARMONEY 

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 

Current tax 
The  tax  currently  payable  is  based  on  taxable  profit  for  the  period.  Taxable  profit  differs  from  ‘profit/(loss)  before  tax’  as 
reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of items of income or expense 
that  are  taxable  or  deductible  in  other  periods  and  items  that  are  never  taxable  or  deductible.  The  Group's  current  tax  is 
calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. 

Deferred tax 
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated 
financial  statements  and  the  corresponding  tax  bases  used  in  the  computation  of  taxable  profit.  Deferred  tax  liabilities  are 

generally  recognised  for  all  taxable  temporary  differences.  Deferred  tax  assets  are  generally  recognised  for  all  deductible 
temporary differences to the extent that there is convincing other evidence that taxable profits will be available against which 
those deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

The recognised tax losses are subject to meeting the requirements of the applicable tax legislation. The carrying amount of 
deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient 

taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset recognised to be utilised. The Group has further tax 
losses of $11.9m at 30 June 2021 (June 2020: nil) which have not been recognised and are available to offset future taxable 
profits. 

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against 

current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Performance rights (zero strike price options) under the Groups Long Term Incentive Plan (‘LTIP’) as detailed in note 24 are considered to be 

potentially ordinary shares. They have been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share to the extent to which they are dilutive. 

The calculation of diluted earnings per share does not include 4,224,000 options granted on 15 June 2021 because they are antidilutive for the 

year ended 30 June 2021. These options could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future. 

14  Cash flow hedge 

Cash flow hedge reserve 
The  Group  borrows  funds  (note  21)  in  order  to  purchase  finance  receivables  (note  17).  The  interest  rate  payable  on  the 

borrowings is floating while the interest receivable is fixed at the point the funds are lent. The interest rate risk is managed and 
mitigated through the use of interest rate swaps, which exchange floating interest payments with fixed interest payments. The 
swaps are entered into to match the maturity profile of estimated repayments of the Group's borrowings. These are accounted 
for at trade date. 

The cash flow hedge reserve is used to recognise the effective portion of gains or losses on derivatives (interest rate swaps) 
that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges.  

At  inception  of  the  hedge  relationship,  the  Group  documents  the  economic  relationship  between  hedging  instruments  and 
hedged items including whether changes in the cash flows of the hedging instruments are expected to offset changes in the 

cash  flows  of  hedged  items.  The  Group  documents  its  risk  management  objective  and  strategy  for  undertaking  its  hedge 
transactions. 

The valuations for New Zealand were based on market rates at 30 June 2021 of 0.26% for the 1-month BKBM and 1.35% for the 
5-year swap rate for (2020: 0.27% and 0.36%) and for Australia 0.01% for the 1-month BBSW and 0.92% for the 5-year swap

rate  (2020: 0.09% and 0.27%).

Credit risk management 
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group. 
The  Group's  main  exposure  to  credit  risk  arises  from  finance  receivables.  The  finance  receivable  credit  risk  management 
framework  comprises:  underwriting  and  risk  policies;  anti-money  laundering  (AML)  and  counter-terrorism  financing  (CTF) 
protocols;  collection  and  recovery  policies;  a  proprietary  credit  scorecard;  a  risk-based  pricing  model;  and  fraud  detection 
services. 

In response to COVID-19 the Group made changes to credit underwriting and collections processes to mitigate the impacts of 
economic  downturn  and  the  related  credit  risk.  For  example,  by:  directing  additional  resource  towards  helping  borrowers  in 
financial hardship, reducing the permitted borrowing limits across all customers, and limiting exposure to high-risk segments.  

ECL Provision 
The  Group  measures  the  allowance  for  expected  credit  losses  (ECL)  using  an  expected  credit  loss  impairment  model  as 
required  by  NZ  IFRS  9  Financial  Instruments  (NZ  IFRS  9).  The  estimated  impact  of  COVID-19  has  been  incorporated  into 

forward-looking inputs as described below. 

Under the ECL model, the Group applies a three-stage approach to measuring the ECL based on credit migration between the 
stages.  The  ECL  model  is  based  on  loan  performance  history  calculated  separately  for  New  Zealand  and  Australia.  As  the 
product  is  unsecured  personal  loans  there  is  no  further  segmentation.  Management  then  applies  a  further  adjustment  to 

incorporate future macroeconomic factors using forward looking inputs. 

Stage 1: 12 month ECL - No significant increase in credit risk 
Finance receivables in this category have not had a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. ECL resulting from 
default events that are possible within the next 12 months (’12-month ECL’) are recognised for financial instruments that remain 
in stage 1. 

Stage 2: Lifetime ECL - Significantly increased credit risk 
An  assessment  of  whether  credit  risk  has  increased  significantly  since  initial  recognition  is  performed  at  the  end  of  each 
reporting  period  by  considering  the  change  in  the  risk  of  default  occurring  over  the  remaining  life  of  the  finance  receivable. 
Unless identified at an earlier stage, all financial assets are deemed to have suffered a significant increase in credit risk when 
30 days past due but less than 90 days past due, or where a payment deferral has been granted following a successful hardship 

application. A lifetime ECL provision is recorded for stage 2 receivables. 

Stage 3: Lifetime ECL - Credit-impaired 
The Group determines that a financial instrument is credit-impaired and in stage 3 by considering relevant objective evidence, 
primarily whether contractual payments of either principal or interest are past due for more than 90 days. If such unlikeliness to 
pay is not identified at an earlier stage, it is deemed to occur when an exposure is 90 days past due. 

Movement between stages 
The Group determines that loans may move in both directions through the stages of the impairment model. Loans previously in 
Stage 2 may move back to Stage 1 if it is no longer considered that there has been a significant increase in credit risk. Similarly, 
loans in Stage 3 may move back to Stage 1 or Stage 2 if they are no longer assessed to be nonperforming. 

Forward-looking economic inputs (FLI) 
The  Group  has  a  process  for  incorporating  forward-looking  economic  scenarios  and  determining  the  probability  weightings 

assigned to each scenario in determining the overall ECL. The economic overlay is a forward-looking provision in addition to the 
standard modelled provision. 

The Group has identified a number of key indicators that are considered in modelling the overlay, the most significant of which 
are  gross  domestic  product,  unemployment  rate,  employment  and  hours  worked,  public  demand,  household  consumption, 

income and savings rate, investment and inflation which are obtained from publicly available date (range of market economists 
and official data sources).  These indicators are assessed semi-annually and judgement is applied in determining the probability 
weighting  assigned  across  the  four  economic  scenarios  (Base  Case,  Worst  Case,  Poor  Case  and  Best  Case).  The  Group’s 
Assets and Liabilities Committee provides ultimate approval for FLI inputs and the resulting overlay applied.

The  Group  expects  there  to  be  further  impacts  as  a  result  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  including  anticipated  increases  in 
delinquencies,  as  Government  stimulus  and  other  measures  are  progressively  removed,  and  we  potentially  see  continued 

outbreaks  of  the  virus  leading  to  Government  mandated  restrictions  on  activity.  These  impacts  would  flow  through  to  the 
modelled expected loss provision, but currently due to the evolving economic impact of the pandemic, may not be fully captured 
in the modelled outcome. Over time, it is anticipated the economic overlay will need to be adjusted as additional factors are 
embedded into the base case of the modelled provision.

reconciliation are: 

Ÿ The “transfers between stages” lines represent transfers between Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 prior to

remeasurement of the provision for ECL.

Ÿ The “business activity during the year” line represents new accounts originated during the year net of those that were

derecognised due to final repayments during the year.

Ÿ The “net remeasurement of provision for ECL” line represents the impact on the provision for ECL due to changes in

credit quality during the year (including transfers between stages) and changes due to forward-looking economic

scenarios.

Ÿ

“Incurred credit loss” represent a reduction in the provision for ECL as a result of derecognition of exposures where

there is no reasonable expectation of full recovery

The lease payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate, being the rate that the individual lessee would have 
to  pay  to  borrow  the  funds  necessary  to  obtain  an  asset  of  similar  value  to  the  right-of-use  asset  in  a  similar  economic 
environment with similar terms, security, and conditions. 

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease 
period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. 

Right-of-use  assets  are  measured  at  cost  comprising  the  amount  of  the  initial  measurement  of  lease  liability  and  any  lease 
payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. 

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

The Group has incurred and will continue to incur significant costs on software development projects. 

Internally developed software is capitalised using an internal framework, which was established in March 2017. Following the 
evolution of the Groups’ technical capability and delivery process, the capitalisation criteria is met much earlier in the delivery 

process and development phases are now able to be capitalised. 

An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been 
demonstrated: 

the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
Ÿ

the availability of adequate technical, financial, and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the
intangible asset; and
the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

Ÿ

The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date 
when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can 
be recognised, development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. 

Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and 
accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately. 

For  capitalised  development  costs  which  are  considered  work  in  progress,  amortisation  of  the  asset  begins  when  the 
development is complete, and the asset is available for use.  

The Group amortises development with a limited useful life using straight-line method over 5 years.

The receivables funding relates to borrowings specific to the warehouse entities and are secured by their assets. The maturity 

profile  of  the  receivables  funding  borrowings  are  aligned  with  the  receivables  held  in  the  relevant  warehouse  facilities,  and 
therefore considered current. As detailed in note 28, the borrowings have a contractual maturity which may be more than 12 
months from the reporting date. The contractual maturity date refers to the date until which the Trusts may continue to purchase 
further receivables using principal payments of the finance receivables and further drawdowns of the facility. After that date, 

unless the agreement terms are extended, the borrowings are required to be paid down as customers make repayments on the 
finance receivables. 

Under the terms of the receivables funding facilities, the Group is required to comply with financial and non-financial covenants. 

The corporate debt borrowings were repaid on 18 November 2020 and the Group has subsequently been released from the 
associated guarantees.

Distributing services rebate provision 
The distributing services rebate provision represents an estimate of distributing services revenue which may be rebated as at 

reporting date. The estimate has been made on the basis of historical trends across the existing loan portfolio and may vary. 
These amounts have not been discounted for the purposes of measuring the provision because the effect is not material.  

Borrower establishment fee rebate provision 
The basis for the borrower establishment fee rebate is disclosed in note 31. 

Protect claims provision 
The  protect  claims  provision  is  measured  as  the  central  estimate  of  the  value  of  expected  future  payments  under  payment 

protect contracts issued by the Group, with an additional risk margin to allow for inherent uncertainty in the central estimate. 

The claims provision has been estimated based on claims history experienced with this product by a similar portfolio of finance 
receivables  with  the  same  repayment  waiver  feature  attached  and  an  increase  for  the  likely  impact  of  current  and  future 
economic scenarios. 

The estimated cost of claims includes direct expenses to be incurred in settling claims i.e., the amount of finance receivable 
principal that will be waived. The following table discloses the amount and number of finance receivables with payment protect.

In relation to share options plan settled in the year, the Group recognised an expense of $3.9m within the consolidated income 
statement for the year ended 30 June 2021. 

Share-based compensation plan 
The Group receives services from employees and directors as consideration for equity instruments (zero strike price options) 
of the Group. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognised as an 
expense over the relevant vesting period. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the 
options granted: 

- including any market performance conditions;
- excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions; and
- including the impact of any non-vesting conditions.

At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based 

on the non-market vesting conditions and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, 
in the income statements, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. When the options are exercised, the company issues new 
shares, or purchases shares from the market. 

Set out below are summaries of options granted by the Group.

Current schemes at 30 June 2021 

Post IPO Scheme 
The Post IPO scheme was approved by the board on 27 April 2021. The plan is designed to provide long-term incentives for 
senior managers to attract, motivate and retain talent while also aligning interests of management and shareholders with regards 
to Company performance. The Board may determine which persons will be eligible to participate in the plan from time to time 
and will invite them to participate.  

The  amount  of  performance  rights  that  will  vest  depends  on  the  achievement  of  applicable  performance  hurdles  over  the 
relevant  period  and  continued  employment.  The  performance  hurdles  are  designed  to  align  participants’  objectives  with  the 
fundamental values of the Company and reward achievements which will deliver significant long-term value to the shareholders 

of the Company. The hurdles relate to revenue and loan book growth as well as strategic initiatives. The rights expire 5 years 
from grant date. 

Options are granted under the plan for no consideration and carry no dividends or voting rights. 

The fair value at grant date of options granted on 15 June 2021 $1.51 based on the share price at grant date. 

Other Options 
The Company has granted warrants to an investment group pursuant to an agreement dated 15 February 2016 enabling them 
to subscribe for shares at a strike price of $2.03 per share within five years of grant date. The grant of the warrants formed part 
of the investment group's remuneration for its services to the Company. Of the 187,587 warrants granted, 6,223 have expired 
and the remaining have a final expiration date of 30 June 2022. 

Completed schemes at 30 June 2021 

Scheme 2 
On 28 February 2020 share options were granted under a performance rights based long term incentive plan. The allocation of 
rights provided participants with an opportunity to be rewarded for company performance and aligned employee interests with 
the interests of shareholders. The fair value at grant date was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model that took into 
account the exercise price, the term of the option, the share price at grant date, the vesting hurdles, the expected price volatility 

of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield, and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option. 

Scheme 1 
The scheme 1 share option plan was designed to provide long-term incentives for Directors and senior management to deliver 
long-term  shareholder  returns.  Under  the  plan,  participants  were  granted  options  which  vested  when  certain  performance 
standards were met.  

Options were granted in August 2017, May 2018, February 2020 and April 2020 with their fair value determined using a Black-
Scholes option pricing model which took into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the share price at grant date, 
expected price volatility of the underlying share and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option. For options granted in 
August 2017 the share price on grant date was based on a discounted cash flow valuation. For subsequent options granted the 

share price on grant date was based on comparable arm's length transactions.  

Other options 
These options were granted in March 2014. As they carried a nil exercise price their value on grant date was determined as 
equivalent to the Company's share price at grant date, which was calculated as a single share of the midpoint of the Company's 
net assets and its capital.

Balances  and  transactions  between  the  Company,  its  subsidiaries,  and  controlled  entities  which  are  related  parties  of  the 
Company, have been eliminated on consolidation and are not disclosed in this note. 

Key management personnel (KMP) are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing, and 
controlling the activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, and include the Executive Directors, Independent Directors and the 
Chief Financial Officer. 

The aggregate compensation made to KMP of the Group is set out below:

Under the terms of the historical share-based compensation plan, at IPO, vesting of options was accelerated. This resulted in 
all unrecognised expense in relation to outstanding options being recognised as an expense in the period. The expense for 
option related share-based payments is therefore at an elevated level in 2021.

*  Management have determined that Harmoney Warehouse No.1 Trust, Harmoney Warehouse No.2 Trust, and Harmoney Collections Trust are 

controlled entities. Harmoney Group subsidiaries have been appointed Manager, Servicer, and residual income beneficiary in each entity. Under 

NZ IFRS 10: Consolidated Financial Statements, an investor controls an investee when the investor is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns 

from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. As the Group controls the 

financing and operating activities of the Trusts and is the residual income beneficiary, the controlled entities are controlled by the Group and 

are required to be consolidated into the Group financial statements.

NZ IFRS 9 requires financial asset debt instruments to be classified based on two criteria: 

a)

b)

the business model within which financial assets are managed; and

their contractual cash flow characteristics (whether the cash flows represent solely payment of principal and interest
(SPPI)).

There are three resulting classifications of financial asset debt instruments under NZ IFRS 9: 

a) Amortised cost: financial assets with contractual cash flows that comprise SPPI, and which are held in a business model

whose objective is to collect their contractual cash flows are measured at amortised cost;

b) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI): financial assets with contractual cash flows that comprise
SPPI, and which are held in a business model whose objective is to both collect their contractual cash flows and to sell
are measured at FVTOCI; and

c) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL): financial assets with contractual cash flows that do not represent SPPI, or
which are held under a different business model are measured at FVTPL. Financial assets can also be designated at
FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch.

Other than derivative financial instruments, which are held at fair value, all other financial assets are held at amortised cost. For 

these instruments, the fair values are not materially different to their carrying amounts since the interest receivable/payable is 
either close to current market rates or the instruments are short-term in nature. 

The following table presents the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured and recognised at fair value on a 
recurring basis:

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 

There have been no transfers between levels in the period (June 2020: Nil). 

The Group’s policy is to recognise transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period. 

 Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and equity securities) 
is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. 

The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in 
level 1. 

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) 
is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on 
entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in 
level 2. 

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. 

Fair value 
The interest rate swaps are initially recognised at fair value through profit and loss on the date the derivative contract is entered 
into and are subsequently measured at their fair value at each reporting date.  All significant inputs required to measure their 
fair value are observable, therefore the swaps are level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.  

The fair value of the interest rate swaps are determined from valuations prepared by independent advisors. These are calculated 
using a discounted cash flow model using forward interest rates extracted from observable yield curves. Discount rates include 
an adjustment for counterparty credit risk. 

28  Financial risk management 
Financial risk management objectives 
The  Group’s  activities  expose  it  to  a  variety  of  financial  risks,  primarily  market  risk  (including  interest  rate  risk  and  foreign 

currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s risk management program focuses on understanding drivers of financial 
risk and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. 

The Group uses derivative financial instruments (interest rate swaps) to hedge interest rate risk. Derivatives are exclusively used 
for hedging purposes i.e. not as trading or other speculative instruments. 

The  Board  have  overall  responsibility  for  the  establishment  and  oversight  of  the  risk  management  framework.  The  Board  is 
responsible for developing and monitoring risk management policies. Risk management procedures are established by the Board 
and carried out by management to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group and to set controls and monitor risks. 

Market risk 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as interest rates that will affect the Group’s income or the value of 
holdings in its financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures 
within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. 

Interest rate risk 

Interest rate risk is the risk that changes interest rates negatively impact the Group's financial performance. The Group's main 
interest rate risk arises from cash at bank, term deposits and borrowings. Cash at bank, term deposits and borrowings obtained 
at  variable  rates  expose  Harmoney  to  interest  rate  risk.  Cash  at  bank  and  term  deposits  obtained  at  fixed  rates  expose 
Harmoney to fair value interest rate risk.  

Harmoney originates loans to customers that have fixed interest rates that are repaid over a relatively short period.

Receivables funding are variable rate borrowings where the rates are reset monthly to current market rates. Interest rate risk is 

managed on these borrowings by entering interest rate swaps, whereby Harmoney pays fixed rate and receives floating rate. 
The contracts require settlement monthly of net interest receivable or payable. The settlement dates coincide with the dates on 
which interest is payable on the underlying borrowings. 

The  gain  or  loss  from  remeasuring  the  hedging  instruments  at  fair  value  is  recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income  and 

deferred in equity in the cash flow hedge reserve, to the extent that the hedge is effective. It is reclassified into the Income 
Statement when the hedged item effects it. In the year ended 30 June 2021, no amount was reclassified into profit or loss (2020: 
Nil) due to hedge ineffectiveness. 

Harmoney’s policy is to hedge a portion of the variability in future cash flows attributable to the interest rate risk on floating rate 

borrowings using interest rate swaps. As at 30 June 2021, the notional value of swaps was 33% (2020: 64%) of floating rate 
borrowings. 

The effects of the interest rate swaps on the Group’s financial position and performance are as follows:

The interest rate sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivatives 
and non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period and assumes that the amount of the liability outstanding at the 
end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used which represents 

management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.  

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s profit for the year 
ended 30 June 2020 would decrease/increase by $1.0m (2020: $0.2m). This is attributable to the Group‘s exposure to interest 
rates on its variable rate borrowings.

Foreign exchange risk 

Foreign currency risk arises on financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency in 

which they are measured. The Group's main foreign exchange risk arises from inter-company receivables and payables which 
do not form part a net investment in a foreign operation. 

The Group has not hedged any foreign exchange risk during the period. 

The Group has the following exposure to Australian dollars, expressed in New Zealand dollars. The Group's exposure to foreign 

currency changes for all other currencies is not material.

Liquidity risk 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group has a diversified 
funding model and currently comprises of a mix of cash reserves and committed undrawn credit facilities to meet anticipated 
funding  requirements  for  new  business.  In  addition,  the  Group  can  redraw  against  its  committed  credit  limits  if  the  principal 

outstanding is reduced. Details of unused available loan facilities are set out in note 21. 

The Group manages operational liquidity risk by maintaining cash reserves and available borrowing facilities and by continuously 
monitoring actual and forecast cash flows. The Group seeks to have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under 
both normal and stressed conditions. 

Remaining contractual maturities 
The following tables detail the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables are based 
on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to 
be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore 
these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

31  Events after the reporting period 

The New Zealand Commerce Commission filed charges against the Group in 2017, alleging that the loan establishment fee it 
charged to  borrowers  in  New  Zealand  was  a credit  fee  subject  to  the  Credit  Contracts  and  Consumer  Finance  Act  2003 
(CCCFA), and that this fee exceeded the amount of the reasonable costs which were recoverable under the CCCFA. 

The proceedings were due to take place in the New Zealand High Court in September 2021. However, the parties entered into 
a settlement  agreement  on 26 August  2021.  Under  the  agreement,  the  Commerce  Commission  agreed  to  discontinue  the 
proceedings, and to not issue any other legal proceedings against the Group in respect of establishment fees charged up to the 
date of this agreement. The Group agreed to: admit breaching the CCCFA and consent to the Court making declarations; pay 
total compensation of $7m to eligible borrowers over a two year period; and set its go-forward establishment fee at no more 
than $165 for five years. 

The compensation amount is fully provided for in these financial statements as the borrower establishment fee rebate (note 22). 

There were no other material events subsequent to year end.

Independent auditor’s report 
To the shareholders of Harmoney Corp Limited 

Our opinion 

In our opinion, the accompanying Consolidated Group Financial Statements of Harmoney Corp Limited (the 
Company), including its subsidiaries (the Group), present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 
the Group as at 30 June 2021, its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance 
with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and International 
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). 

What we have audited 

The Consolidated Group Financial Statements comprise: 

•

•

•

•

•

the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2021;

the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the year then ended; 

the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended;

the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended; and

the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which includes Significant accounting policies.

Basis for opinion

International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in 
the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Consolidated Group Financial Statements section of our report.  

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

Independence 

We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of 
Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) (PES 1) 
issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Code of Ethics for 
Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics 
Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in 
accordance with these requirements.  

Our firm carries out other services for the Group in the areas of investigating accountant assurance services and 
tax related services in respect of the IPO, warehouse facilities and the preparation of tax returns. The provision of

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 

Our audit approach 

Overview 

Overall Group materiality: $1.94 million, which represents approximately 0.5% 
of total assets. 

We chose total assets as the benchmark because, in our view, it is the benchmark 
against which the performance of the Group is most commonly measured by 
users, and is a generally accepted benchmark. 

We utilised a 0.5% threshold based on our professional judgement, noting it is 
within the range of commonly acceptable thresholds. 

We have determined that there are three key audit matters: 

      ● 

Expected credit loss provisions on finance receivables (note 17,  $15.4m) 

      ●  Deferred tax assets (note 12, $11.5m) 

      ● 

Interest income (note 6, $37.6m) 

As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the 
Consolidated Group Financial Statements. In particular, we considered where management made subjective 
judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and 
considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of 
management override of internal controls, including among other matters, consideration of whether there was 
evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. 

Materiality 
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable 
assurance whether the Consolidated Group Financial Statements are free from material misstatement. 
Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they 
could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the Consolidated 
Group Financial Statements. 

Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the 
overall Group materiality for the Consolidated Group Financial Statements as a whole as set out above. These, 
together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit, the nature, timing and 
extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually and in aggregate on 
the Consolidated Group Financial Statements as a whole. 

Audit scope 
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the 
Consolidated Group Financial Statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the 
accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operates.

Key audit matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of 
the Consolidated Group Financial Statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of 
our audit of the Consolidated Group Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we 
do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Further, any commentary on the outcomes of a particular audit

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Expected credit loss provisions on finance 
receivables (note 17, $15.4m) 

We have performed the following procedures, amongst 
others: 

This was a key audit matter because the 
determination of the provision was driven by 
subjective judgements made by the Group in 
predicting expected credit losses (ECL). 

The majority of the customer loan balances 
were low value and therefore the provision 
was modelled and calculated on a collective 
basis. Key elements in determining ECL 
include: 

•

•

•

•

Judgements applied in setting the 
assumptions used in the ECL models, 
including the application of expected loss 
rates applied to each underlying portfolio
segment. 

Judgements applied model changes, to
reflect emerging trends or particular 
situations which are not otherwise 
captured. 

Judgements applied in incorporating 
forward-looking impacts, which use 
macroeconomic forecasts for a range of 
scenarios that are weighted to consider 
the potential economic outcomes that 
may impact ECL 

Judgements applied in determining 
exposures that have had a significant 
increase in credit risk, which is assessed
by the Group based on the delinquency 
or hardship status of an account. 

•

Together with PwC credit modelling experts

examined and assessed the ECL model developed 
by the Group in considering key judgements and
assumptions supporting ECL, focusing on changes
and new developments

assessed the appropriateness of modelled outcomes
over time by comparing its outcomes, and
underlying expected loss rates, to actual losses 

re-performed the automated calculation for ECL as
at 30 June 2021 

assessed the appropriateness of forward-looking 
information incorporated into the impairment 
calculations by assessing macroeconomic 
assumptions and probability weightings applied,
and comparing them to external evidence where 
applicable 

• Assessed the integrity of data used as inputs into the
models, including delinquency and hardship data, by
tracing a sample of inputs used in the models to 
underlying audit evidence 

• Assessed the reasonableness of the Group’s disclosures
in the financial report in light of the requirements of 
NZ IFRS.

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Deferred tax assets (note 12, $11.5m) 

The Group was subject to taxation in each 
location in which it operated. 

The assessment of the amounts expected to 
be paid in the future to tax authorities was 
considered by the Group in respect of 
recognising deferred tax assets (DTAs), 
including those related to tax losses, at 30 
June 2021.  

This was a key audit matter due to the 
extent of judgement involved by the Group. 

Our procedures included evaluating the tax analysis 
performed by the Group, which set out the basis for 
judgements made in respect of DTAs by: 

•  Considering the appropriateness of forecasting methods 
used by management to calculate future taxable profits 

•  Assessing certain judgements and, where relevant, 

comparing them to available internal and external data 
on a sample basis  

•  Assessing management's forecasting accuracy over time 
by comparing previous forecasts to actual outcomes 

•  Agreeing relevant input data to supporting records on a 

sample basis.  

•  Assessed the reasonableness of the Group’s disclosures 
in the financial report in light of the requirements of NZ 
IFRS. 

Interest income (note 6, $37.6m) 

We performed the following procedures, amongst others: 

The Group’s main stream of revenue is 
interest income from providing loans to 
customers. 

The recognition of interest income over time 
requires the Group to apply judgement and 
determine an effective interest rate to be 
applied in accordance with NZ IFRS.    

This was a key audit matter because of the 
significance of interest income in the 
context of the performance of the Group, 
and the judgement involved in determining 
an effective interest rate. 

•  Re-performed the automated calculation for 100% of 

interest income from loans to customers 

•  Assessed the Group’s methodology for recognising 
revenue in light of the requirements of NZ IFRS 

•  Inspected that the effective interest rate applied was 
determined in line with the methodology used by the 
Group and assessed its consistency with internal 
information 

•  Inspected and compared contract data contained in the 
product system to a sample of contracts, including 
interest rates and loan period.

Other information 

The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information 
included in the Annual Report, but does not include the Consolidated Group Financial Statements and our 
auditor’s opinion thereon.  

Our opinion on the Consolidated Group Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do 
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

In connection with our audit of the Consolidated Group Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the 
other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the 
Consolidated Group Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be 
materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior 
to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, 
we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Consolidated Group Financial Statements 

The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair presentation of the 
Consolidated Group Financial Statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS, and for such internal control 
as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of Consolidated Group Financial Statements 
that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.  

In preparing the Consolidated Group Financial Statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the 
Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and 
using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease 
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Consolidated Group Financial Statements 

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

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the External 
Reporting Board’s website at: https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/auditors- 
responsibilities/audit-report-1/. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
