Harris 
its  controlled  entities  (the 
Company)  and 
Group) present its results for the financial year 
ended  30  June  2016  (FY16).  The  results  reflect 
the  Group’s  continuing  capital  investment  in 
building  a  scalable  operating  platform,  and 
expenditure 
associated  with  developing 
associated capabilities. 

During  FY16,  the  Group  generated  revenue  of 
$17,789,785, down 3.60% on the previous year 
(FY15:  $18,453,912).  The  Group  incurred  a  net

the  Harris  Technology  online  retail  business

a 
Company  determined 
consolidation  of  its  websites  and  platforms,  in 
order  to  facilitate  operational  efficiencies  and 
realise  cost  savings  in  respect  to  development 
and  IT  expenses.  As  part  of  the  website  and 
platform  consolidation,  the  Company  closed 
down its existing Warcom and eStore websites, 
and redirected traffic from those websites to its 
centralised  business 
technology  website 
ht.com.au. 

The Company reported an impairment expense 
of  $1,027,386  for  FY16,  which  relates  primarily

with  the  website  closure  and  migration,  and 
platform 
consolidation.  Depreciation  and 
amortisation  was  $405,721  for  FY16,  up  from 
$392,974 in the prior year.  

Professional  fees  incurred  in  FY16  were  a  total 
of $453,882, up from $445,720 in the prior year, 
as a result of one-off accounting and legal fees 

of  approximately  $130,000  incurred  in  respect 
to the Merger. 

As the Merger was completed after the end of 
FY16,  the  Group’s  reported  results  do  not 
include trading results of Anyware Corporation 
Pty  Ltd  or  its  subsidiary  Harris  Technology  Pty 
Ltd.

As  suitable  opportunities  arise,  we  intend  to  grow  organically  and  by  acquisition  to  enable  us 
diversify our product offerings and enter additional e-commerce markets. 

We  are  utilising  Anyware's  existing  infrastructure  and  knowledge  od  importing  and  distribution  to 
deliver a "direct model" to the business of Your Home Depot and Wow Baby.  In particular, we will 
launch a business model called: "Cross Border Direct Shipping with Local Presence” (CBDSLP). With a 
team based in China and the ability to sell directly online to consumers in Australia, this model's key 
benefits are:

Anyware  /  Harris  Technology’s  team  is  made  up  of  a  group  of 
experiences professionals with a 20 year history in the import and 
distribution  businesses  in  Australia.  The  new  merged  company 
can 
leverage  Anyware’s  existing  strong  ties  with  overseas 
suppliers and manufacturers for product sourcing. 

Significant  expense  savings  can  be  achieved  by  combining  the 
office  and  warehouse  operations.  Business  processes  can  be 
streamlined  across  the  group.  Centralised  and  shared  services 
across  business  operations  including  IT  systems,  marketing  and 
customer support means cost savings and better communication 
for the whole group. 

With  a  dedicated  team  in  Shenzhen,  China,  the  company  can 
source  the  best  products  at  competitive  prices  with  the  highest 
quality and best availability. 

A  single  e-commerce  system  /  platform  (in  progress)  instead  of 
several  different  systems  ensures  efficiency  in  operation  and  big 
savings on development and IT expenses. 

By merging or sharing the customer database, the new company 
can  cross-promote  and  upsell  items  to  a  larger  consolidated 
customer database.

Strategies and plans  

The individual strategies of each business will be addressed below; however the underlying theme 
across the group is to enable each area of the business to grow whilst complementing the others. 

A  strong  sales  increase  is  forecast  across  the  group  whilst  carefully  managing  expenditure  on 
procurement, marketing and human resources. 

Anyware 

Founded  in  1996,  Anyware  Corporation  has  long  been  established  as  one  of  the  premiere 
distribution  businesses  in  Australia  and  New  Zealand  for  IT  equipment,  accessories,  electrical, 
lighting,  home  entertainment,  education,  corporate  infrastructure  and  more.      This  position  of 
strength  has  been  achieved  through  careful  and  considered  planning  and  through  successful 
execution  of  sourcing,  sales  and  marketing  plans.  Anyware  stands  today  with  a  solid  foundation 
forged over our 20-year history; a foundation which has allowed us to expand into new markets as 
the  opportunity  has  arisen,  utilising  existing  infrastructure,  business  experience  and  executive 
personnel to ensure success. 

Strategies and Plans  

  Growth is forecast across the Electrical Installer / Wholesale segment of the Anyware market 
following  investment  in  resources  to  enhance  our  expansion  into  this  area.  Anyware’s 
existing product offering caters to this market, along with strategic additions to allow us to 
achieve significant growth. 

  The  addition  of  Wow  Baby  and  YHD  into  the  group  has  begun  to  present  new  markets 

which may allow Anyware to explore new distribution and importing opportunities. 

Harris Technology 

Since  its  inception  in  1986,  Harris  Technology  has  remained  a  cornerstone  of  the  IT  industry  in 
Australia. The scope and longevity of HT’s business are unmatched, providing both customers and 
vendors with the security and size of a big retailer with the agility of an online store. 

  Comprehensive SMB-focused product range of over 10,000 items available online 

  Local call center staffed by category expert 

  Outstanding 30-year reputation and brand equity 

  Cutting edge marketing campaigns with strong digital focus 

As Harris Technology enters its 30th year the face of retail business in Australia has seen countless 
changes.  Despite  the  changing  landscape,  HT’s  focus  has  remained  wholly  toward  the  SMB 
marketplace.  This  market  has  not  traditionally  been  serviced  strongly  by  the  industry  as  a  whole, 
providing an enormous opportunity. Harris Technology is dedicated to ensuring positive customer 
experience  through  outstanding  customer  service  and  by  providing  products  and  services  that 
meet the unique requirements of this SMB segment. 

13 

 
 
 
 
Strategies and Plans  

  Continue to keep product ranges up-to-date & brands current 

  Pricing requires constant attention to maintain competitiveness 

  Investment in our staff with training to ensure we can best service our customers 

  Building  a  Cloud  &  Services  product  offering  following  investment  in  this  burgeoning 

category 

  Continue to expand and improve upon the existing Drop Ship model in order to minimise 

stock holding liability 

  Pending IT developments we expect to add an eBay store in late 2016 which is expected to 

bring an immediate 5-10% sales boost 

Your Home Depot 

Founded  in  2003,  Your  Home  Depot  (YHD)  is  one  of  Australia’s  leading  online  homewares  and 
home  appliance  retailers,  offering  high-end  kitchenware,  homewares  and  electrical  appliances 
nationwide via its online website www.yourhomedepot.com.au. In June 2014 YHD was acquired 
by Shoply Ltd (now Harris Technology Group Ltd) as the centerpiece of the company’s expansion 
into  burgeoning  online  shopping  markets.  The  addition  complemented  the  Group’s  existing 
properties  in  IT  and  baby  products,  cementing  a  compelling  diversity  of  enterprises  across 
numerous fast-moving verticals. 

The Online Kitchen and Diningware Sales industry is driven by big name brands, brands which Your 
Home  Depot  has  forged  strong,  secure  relationships  with  over  more  than  a  decade.  The  new 
ownership  and  management  structure  at  YHD  necessitates  consolidation  of  these  supplier 
relationships which has been a successful undertaking throughout previous months.  

Strategies and Plans  

  Competitive pricing – it is YHD’s intention to remain competitive on price alongside a select 
group of online competitors, but to strike a balance ensuring healthy margins and avoiding 
‘price wars.’ 

  Strict  ROI  –  all  marketing  activities,  and  business  expenses  throughout,  will  be  subject  to 

strict campaign measurement to ensure return on investment is significant. 

  Careful  stock  management  –  regular,  disciplined  forecasting  and  ordering  by  trained 
professionals will minimise stock-outs as well as overstocks, striking a meticulous balance. 
Development work for software tools to aid in such processes is underway. 

14 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Wow Baby 

In March 2014 Shoply Ltd Group (now Harris Technology Ltd Group) acquired WowBaby.com.au, 
an  online  baby  products  retailer.  Established  in  October  2010,  Wow  Baby  possesses  a  strong, 
respected  identity  in  the  market.  It  holds  strong  relationships  with  key  vendors  and  distributors, 
supported  by  innovative  marketing  and  committed  customer  support  which  has  allowed  Wow 
Baby to grow significantly since being acquired. 

Already strong in a number of categories such as prams, nappy bags and high-chairs, the focus for 
2016  has  been  to  diversify  further  into  growing  categories.  Within  a  short  span  Wow  Baby  has 
secured successful dealings with Tier 1 brands Tomy, Boon, Munchkin, Mamaway and many more, 
contributing to categories including toys, bins, feeding and pregnancy-wear.  

This rapid development has been achievable due to a number of logistical considerations: 

  Leveraging Harris Technology Group’s significant warehouse storage capacity 

  Introducing  a  ‘Drop  Ship’  option  with  selected  suppliers  to  minimise  required    stock 

holdings 

  Supplementing the above with regular ordering from local suppliers 

Strategies and Plans  

Ensuring repeat business is a key area in 2016-17. This will be achieved by introducing categories 
such as nappies, wipes, bin-refills and formula. These encourage ongoing purchases over a number 
of years for each customer/parent, a key component of Wow Baby’s growth strategy. 

Price  analysis  will  be  undertaken  to  allow  Wow  Baby  sell  prices  to  be  more  competitive  in  the 
market. 

  Range  rationalisation  –  Be  selective  in  adding  suppliers  to  strategically  assist  segment 

growth 

  Add tactical new segments / brands in line with market movement

Likely developments and future prospects 

The  Company  is  pleased  with  the  development  of  its  dual  strategy  of  acquisitive  and  organic 
growth as an online retail company.  

Harris  Technology  Group  intends  to  continue  to  provide  quality  brands  across  homewares, 
kitchenware,  office  technology  and  baby  products,  and  expand  its  categories  and  offerings  to 
customers. Harris Technology Group further intends to continue its growth trajectory and prove the 
results of its organic and acquisitive online retail strategy. 

The Directors are optimistic that, despite the early stage nature of the company, it is positioned to 
achieve its objective of continued revenue growth in the 2017 financial year.  

Key business risks 

The  Group’s  operations  are  subject  to  a  number  of  risks.  The  Audit  and  Risk  Management 
Committee and Board regularly review the possible impact of these risks and seek to minimise this 
impact  through  a  commitment  to  its  corporate  governance  principles  and  its  various  risk 
management functions. A number of specific risk factors that may impact the future performance 
of  the  Group  are  described  below.  Shareholders  should  note  that  this  list  is  not  exhaustive,  and 
only include risks that could affect the Group’s financial prospects, taking into account the nature 
and business of the Group and its business strategy. 

(a) 

Risks related to the Group’s e-commerce activities 

  E-commerce risks – There are a number of inherent risks associated with operating in the e-

commerce sector, including but not limited to security breaches (particularly in relation to 

credit  card  security),  fraud  exposure,  customer  disputes  and  chargebacks.  For  instance, 

security  risks  arising  from  intrusions  from  viruses  and  hackers  could  disrupt  the  Group’s 

business operations and may lead to loss in customer confidence and sales revenue.  

(b) 

General risks 

  Reliance on technology – The successful operation of the Group’s business is dependent on 

various  technologies  including  the  internet  and  co-located  dedicated  servers.  Any 

significant  disruption  to  these  systems  could  have  a  materially  detrimental  effect  on  the 

Group’s business. Further, there is no guarantee that the technology utilised by the Group 

will not, in the future, be superseded by other technologies. 

  Intellectual property – One of the Group’s significant assets is its intellectual property rights 

in products and services, which it has developed. The Company relies on a combination of 

copyright  and  trademark  laws,  confidentiality  procedures  and  contractual  provisions  to 

protect these assets. Unauthorised use of the Company’s intellectual property could have a 

materially  adverse  effect  on  the  Company  and  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  the 

Company’s legal remedies would adequately compensate it for the damage to its business 

caused by such use.   

25 

 
 
 
  Competition – The Group is not unique in developing and marketing many of its products 

and services. There is a risk that its products and services may not, in the future, be able to 

compete with competitors' products and services on cost or technical grounds. 

Risk Management 

The Board takes a proactive approach to risk management.  The Board is responsible for ensuring 
that  risks,  and  also  opportunities,  are  identified  on  a  timely  basis  and  that  the  Company’s 
objectives  and  activities  are  aligned  with  the  risks  and  opportunities  identified  by  the  Board.  The 
Company has in FY16 established an Audit and Risk Management Committee to oversee this audit 
and risk management function of the Board.

The following significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group occurred during the financial

Remuneration Governance 

Remuneration Policy 

The  performance  of  the  Group  depends  upon  the  quality  of  its  Directors  and  executives.  To  be 
successful, the Group must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled Directors and executives. To 
this  end,  the  Group  seeks  to  provide  competitive  rewards  to  attract  high  calibre  executives.  The 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount 
of  remuneration  of  Non-Executive  Directors,  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  other  Key 
Management  Personnel  on  a  periodic  basis.  In  doing  so,  the  Nomination  and  Remuneration  has 
reference  to  relevant  employment  market  conditions,  with  the  overall  objective  of  ensuring 
maximum  stakeholder  benefit  from  the  retention  of  a  high  quality  Board  and  executive  team.    A 
recommendation  of  the  Nomination  and  Remuneration  Committee  is  presented  to  the  Board  of 
Directors for adoption and approval. 

Hedging of equity awards 

The  Group  has  a  policy  in  place  to  prohibit  Directors  and  executives  from  entering  into  equity 
hedging arrangements to protect the value of unvested options.  

Remuneration structure 

In  accordance  with  best  practice  corporate  governance,  the  structure  of  non-executive  and 
executive remuneration is separate and distinct. 

3. 

Executive remuneration arrangements 

The  Group  aims  to  reward  executives  with  a  level  and  mix  of  remuneration  commensurate  with 
their position and responsibilities within the Group so as to: 

  Reward executives for the Group and individual performance; 

  Align the interests of executives with those of shareholders; 

  Link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Group; and 

  Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards. 

Currently remuneration is paid in the form of cash remuneration, superannuation contributions and 
share  options  where  applicable.    For  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2016,  key  executives  had 
remuneration  packages  which  include  components  that  are  dependent  on  meeting  specified 
performance conditions. 

4. 

Non-Executive Director remuneration arrangements 

The  Group’s  constitution  provides  that  the  total  amount  of  remuneration  provided  to  all  non-
executive Directors must not exceed $500,000.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements  
(for the Financial Year ended 30 June 2016) 

1. 

CORPORATE INFORMATION  

The  consolidated  financial  report  of  Harris  Technology  Group  Limited  (the  Company  or  Harris 
Technology  Group)  and  controlled  entities  (the  Group)  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2016  was 
authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 29 September 2016.  

Harris Technology Group is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are 
publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. 

2. 

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

(a) 

Basis of preparation 

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with 
Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting 
Standards  Board  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  For  the  purposes  of  preparing  the  financial 
statements, Harris Technology Group Limited is a for profit entity. 

The  financial  report  covers  Harris  Technology  Group  and  controlled  entities  as  a  consolidated 
entity.  Harris  Technology  Group  is  a  listed  public  company,  limited  by  shares,  incorporated  and 
domiciled in Australia. 

The  financial  report  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  the  historical  cost  convention  and, 
except where stated, does not take into account changing money values or current valuations of 
non-current  assets.    Cost  is  based  on  the  fair  values  of  the  consideration  given  in  exchange  for 
assets.  The financial report is presented in Australian dollars. 

The following is a summary of material 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. 

(b) 

Statement of compliance 

The  financial  report  complies  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  as  issued  by  the  Australian 
Accounting  Standards  Board  and  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRS)  as  issued  by 
the International Accounting Standards Board. 

(c) 

Going concern basis of accounting 

The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on  the  going  concern  basis,  which  contemplates 
continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in 
the normal course of business. 

As disclosed in the financial statements, the consolidated entity incurred a loss of $6,510,012 (2015: 
$2,481,432 loss) and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $5,088,307 (2015: $123,283 
outflow) for the year ended 30 June 2016.  As at that date the consolidated entity had net current 
liabilities of $1,577,208 (2015: $662,979 net current assets) and net liabilities of $1,683,999 (2015: 
$3,837,025 net assets). 

43 

 
These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt 
about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will 
realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts 
stated in the financial report. 

The Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the consolidated entity will 
be able to continue as a going concern, after consideration of the following factors: 

  As  set  out  in  note  28,  subsequent  to  year  end  the  consolidated  entity  acquired  Anyware 
Corporation  Pty  Ltd.    The  transaction  was  a  reverse  acquisition  with  Anyware  Corporation 
Pty Ltd becoming the controlling entity for accounting purposes: 

  The combined entity has a stronger financial position and has restructured the business 
to  take  advantage  of  economies  of  scale  which  lowers  the  combined  operating  cost 
base of the two entities moving forward. 

  The combined entity has access to a $2 million short term trade finance facility, of which 

$1.1million has been drawn down post 30 June 2016. 

  Loan  holders  of  the  combined  entity,  equating  to  $4,138,304  of  debt,  have  provided 
commitments  of  financial  support  and  irrevocably  deferred  monthly  payments  of 
principal and interest on loans for a period of not less than 12 months to 30 June 2017.  
These payments are $110,870 per month. 

  The combined entity is in the process of raising $2 million in long term debt to fund its 

continuing working capital demands. 

  Also  set  out  in  both  note  23  and  note  28,  the  directors’  convertible  note  liability  of  $1 

million has been converted to shares subsequent to year end. 

Accordingly, the Directors believe that the consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going 
concern  and  that  it  is  appropriate  to  adopt  the  going  concern  basis  in  the  preparation  of  the 
financial report. 

The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the amounts or classification of 
recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary if the consolidated entity does not continue as 
a going concern. 

(d) 

New standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective 

At the date of this financial report the following standards and interpretations, which may impact 
the entity in the period of initial application, have been issued but are not yet effective.  The impact 
of the initial application of these new standards has not been assessed.

(e)  

Basis of consolidation 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  comprise  the  financial  statements  of  the  Group  and  its 
subsidiaries as at 30 June 2016. Control is achieved when the Group 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. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the 
Group has: 

  Power  over  the  investee  (i.e.  existing  rights  that  give  it  the  current  ability  to  direct  the 

relevant activities of the investee) 

  Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and 

  The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns 

46 

 
 
The  Group  re-assesses  whether  or  not  it  controls  an  investee  if  facts  and  circumstances  indicate 
that  there  are  changes  to  one  or  more  of  the  three  elements  of  control.  Consolidation  of  a 
subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group 
loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or 
disposed of during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date 
the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary. 

When  necessary,  adjustments  are  made  to  the  financial  statements  of  subsidiaries  to  bring  their 
accounting  policies  into  line  with  the  Group’s  accounting  policies.  All  intra-group  assets  and 
liabilities,  equity,  income,  expenses  and  cash  flows  relating  to  transactions  between  members  of 
the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. 

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an 
equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it: 

  De-recognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary 

  De-recognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests 

  De-recognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity 

  Recognises the fair value of the consideration received 

  Recognises the fair value of any investment retained 

  Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss 

  Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or 

loss or 

  retained  earnings,  as  appropriate,  as  would  be  required  if  the  Group  had  directly 

disposed of the related assets or liabilities 

(f) 

Revenue recognition  

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the 
Group and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. 
Revenue  is  measured  at  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  received  or  receivable,  taking  into 
account  contractually  defined  terms  of  the  payment  and  excluding  taxes  or  duty.  The  Group 
assesses its revenue from the provision of services to customers and recognised upon delivery of 
the service to the customer.   

Revenue from online shopping is the sale of products. The sale of products is recognised on gross 
basis. Any return or refund allowances will reduce revenue. The sale of products is recognised when 
products are sold and significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the 
buyer, usually on despatch of the goods. 

Interest income 

Interest income and expenses are reported on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. 
Interest income is included in finance income in the statement of profit or loss. 

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). 

47 

 
 
(g) 

Profit or loss from discontinued operations  

A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that either has been abandoned, disposed 
of, or is classified as held for sale, and: 

  represents a separate division of business or geographical  area of operations; or 

  is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major division of business or 

geographical area of operations. 

Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented 
as  a  single  amount  as  profit  or  loss  after  tax  from  discontinued  operations  in  the  statement  or 
profit or loss.  

Additional  disclosures  are  provided  in  Note  8.  All  other  notes  to  the  financial  statements  mainly 
include amounts for continuing operations, unless otherwise mentioned. 

(h) 

Income tax and other taxes 

Current income tax expense is the tax payable on the current year’s taxable income. This is based 
on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.  

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences between the tax bases 
of  assets  and  liabilities  and  their  carrying  amounts  in  the  financial  statements.  No  deferred  tax 
asset  or  liability  is  recognised  in  relation  to  temporary  differences  arising  from  the  initial 
recognition  of  an  asset  or  a  liability  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 temporary differences and unused tax losses only when 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. 

Tax consolidation 

Harris  Technology  Group  Limited  and  its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  have  formed  an  income  tax 
consolidated group under tax consolidation legislation.  

The  head  entity,  Harris  Technology  Group  Limited  and  the  controlled  entities  in  the  tax 
consolidated  group  continue  to  account  for  their  own  current  and  deferred  tax  amounts.  The 
Group  has  applied  the  Group  allocation  approach  in  determining  the  appropriate  amount  of 
current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group. 

In  addition  to  its  own  current  and  deferred  tax  amounts,  Harris  Technology  Group  Limited  also 
recognizes the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax 
losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group. 

Assets  or  liabilities  arising  under  tax  funding  agreements  with  the  tax  consolidated  entities  are 
recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group. 

48 

 
Any  difference  between  the  amounts  assumed  and  amounts  receivable  or  payable  under  the  tax 
funding  agreement  are  recognised  as  a  contribution  to  (or  distribution  from)  wholly-owned  tax 
consolidated entities. 

GST taxes 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except: 

  When  the  GST  incurred  on  a  purchase  of  goods  and  services  is  not  recoverable  from  the 
taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of 
the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable. 

  Receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included. 

  The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included 

as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. 

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

 (i) 

Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at banks, short-term deposits with an original 
maturity of three months or less held at call with financial institutions and bank overdrafts.  Bank 
overdrafts  are  shown  within  short-term  borrowings  in  current  liabilities  on  the  statement  of 
financial position.  

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  also  include  amounts  collected  in  respect  of  online  sales  during  the 
period by agents on behalf of the Company where clear title of ownership exists. 

(j) 

Trade and other receivables 

Trade and other receivables are recognised and carried at the net of original invoice amount less 
an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.  An estimate for doubtful debts is made when there is 
objective evidence that collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written 
off when identified. 

(k) 

Business Combinations 

The  Group  accounts  for  its  business  combinations  using  the  acquisition  method.  The  cost  of  an 
acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred measured at acquisition 
date  fair  value.  Acquisition-related  costs  are  expensed  as  incurred  and  included  in  administrative 
expenses. 

The Group recognises identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination 
regardless  of  whether  they  have  been  previously  recognised  in  the  acquiree’s  financial  statements 
prior  to  the  acquisition.  Assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  are  generally  measured  at  their 
acquisition-date fair values.  

Business  combinations  are  initially  recorded  on  a  provisional  basis.  The  acquirer  retrospectively 
adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and will recognise additional assets or liabilities during 
the  measurement  period,  based  on  new  information  obtained  about  the facts  and  circumstances 
that  existed  at  the  acquisition  date.  The  measurement  period  ends  on  either  the  earlier  of  12 

49 

 
months from the date of the acquisition or when the acquirer receives all the information possible 
to determine fair value. 

Goodwill  is  initially  measured  at  cost,  being  the  excess  of  the  aggregate  of  the  consideration 
transferred  and  the  amount  recognised  for  non-controlling  interests,  and  any  previous  interest 
held,  over  the  net  identifiable  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed.  If  the  fair  value  of  the  net 
assets  acquired  is  in  excess  of  the  aggregate  consideration  transferred,  the  Group  re-assesses 
whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and 
reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognised at the acquisition date. If 
the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate 
consideration transferred, then the gain is recognised in profit or loss. 

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For 
the  purpose  of  impairment  testing,  goodwill  acquired  in  a  business  combination  is,  from  the 
acquisition  date,  allocated  to  each  of  the  Group’s  cash-generating  units  that  are  expected  to 
benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are 
assigned  to  those  units.  Goodwill  is  not  amortised  but  tested  annually  for  impairment,  or  more 
frequently if events or changes in circumstances.  

(l) 

Intangibles assets other than goodwill 

Intangible  assets  acquired  separately  are  initially  measured  at  cost.  The  cost  of  intangible  assets 
acquired in a business combination is at its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial 
recognition,  intangible  assets  are  carried  at  cost  less  any  accumulated  amortisation  and  any 
accumulated 
intangibles,  excluding  capitalised 
Internally  generated 
development costs, are not capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected profit or loss in the 
period which the expenditure is incurred. 

impairment 

losses. 

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite.  

Intangible  assets  with  finite  lives  are  amortised  over  their  useful  life  and  tested  for  impairment 
whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period 
and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at 
each  financial  year  end.  Changes  in  the  expected  useful  life  or  the  expected  pattern  of 
consumption  of  future  economic  benefits  embodied  in  the  asset  are  accounted  for  prospectively 
by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, which is a change in accounting 
estimate. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in profit or 
loss  in  the  expense  category  consistent  with  the  function  of  the  intangible  asset.  The  estimated 
useful life of each class of intangible asset is as follows:

Property, plant and equipment 

Property,  plant  and  equipment  is  stated  at  cost,  net  of  accumulated  depreciation  and/or  any 
accumulated impairment losses, if any. 

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment annually by the Directors 
for events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.  If 
any such indication exists and where the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, 
the assets are written down to their recoverable amount. 

Depreciation 

The  depreciable  amounts  of  fixed  assets  are  depreciated  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  their 
estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: 

Computers 

Office equipment 

Warehouse fit-out 

3 years 

5 years 

10 years 

In the case of leasehold property, expected useful lives are determined by reference to comparable 
owned assets or over the term of the lease, if shorter. 

(n) 

Leases 

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of 
the arrangement at the inception date. The arrangement is assessed for whether fulfilment of the 
arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a 
right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement. 

Operating leases 

Where the Group is a lessee, payments on operating lease agreements are recognise as an expense 
on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  Associated costs, such as maintenance and insurance, 
are expensed as incurred. 

(o) 

Impairment of property, plant, equipment, goodwill and intangible assets  

The  Group  assesses  at  each  reporting  date  whether  there  is  an  indication  that  an  asset  may  be 
impaired.  The  assessment  will  include  the  consideration  of  external  and  internal  sources  of 
information.  If  such  an  indication  exists,  an  impairment  test  is  carried  out  on  the  asset  by 
comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs 
to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over 
its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of comprehensive income, unless the asset is 
carried at revalued amount in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.  

(p) 

Inventories 

Inventories,  consisting  of  products  available  for  sale,  are  primarily  accounted  for  using  the  latest 
purchase price method, and are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. This valuation 
requires the group to make judgements, based on currently available information, about the likely 
method of disposition and expected recoverable values of each disposition category.  

51 

 
 
Net  realisable  value  is  the  estimated  selling  price  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  less  the 
estimated cost necessary to make the sale. 

All inventories carried are finished goods, ready for sale. 

(q) 

Financial instruments 

Classification 

The Group classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: loans and receivables and 
financial  liabilities.  The  classification  of  investments  depends  on  the  purpose  for  which  the 
investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial 
recognition.  

Financial liabilities 

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade payables, other payables and loans from third parties 
including  inter-company  balances  and  loans  from  or  other  amounts  due  to  director-related 
entities.  

The  Group’s  financial  liabilities  are  recognised  at  fair  value  and  carried  at  amortised  cost, 
comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.  

Financial liability – Deferred consideration by shares 

In accordance with the assets purchase agreement for the acquisition of the business and assets of 
Warcom  and  eStore,  the  consideration  for  the  Company’s  acquisition  of  the  Warcom  and  eStore 
businesses  includes  a  share  based  component,  under  which  Harris  Technology  Group  will  issue 
ordinary  shares  in  the  Company  to  the  vendor’s  nominee  in  tranches  over  a  two  year  earn-out 
period, subject to the satisfaction of prescribed revenue and profit margin targets of the Warcom 
and  eStore  businesses.  At  acquisition  date,  the  deferred  consideration  by  shares  was  recognised 
initially  as  a  financial  liability  for  earn-out  on  acquisition  at  fair  value  using  a  present  value 
technique. 

After initial recognition, the earn-out liability is recognised at fair value through profit or loss and is 
remeasured each reporting period. Movements in the liability from these changes are reported in 
the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 

(r) 

Trade and other payables 

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end 
of the financial period and which are unpaid. Due to their short term nature they are measured at 
amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30-
60 days of recognition. 

(s) 

Provisions 

Provisions  are  measured  at  the  estimated  expenditure  required  to  settle  the  present  obligation, 
based  on  the  most  reliable  evidence  available  at  the  reporting  date,  including  the  risks  and 
uncertainties  associated  with  the  present  obligation.  Where  there  are  a  number  of  similar 
obligations,  the  likelihood  that  an  outflow  will  be  required  at  settlement  is  determined  by 
considering the class of obligations as a whole. Provisions for earn out on the Warcom and eStore 
acquisitions,  the  Group  recognised  the  provision  using  present  value  technique  which  is  using  a 

52 

 
discounted  rate  that  reflects  the  risks  specific  to  the  liability,  where  the  time  value  of  money  is 
material. 

(t) 

Foreign Currencies 

Functional and presentation currency 

The financial statements of each group entity are measured using its functional currency, which is 
the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated 
financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, as this is the parent entity’s functional and 
presentation currency.  

Transactions and balances 

Transactions  in  foreign  currencies  of  entities  within  the  consolidated  entity  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.   

Resulting  exchange  differences  arising  on settlement  or  re-statement are  recognised  as  revenues 
and expenses for the financial year.  

Group companies 

The  financial  statements  of  foreign  operations  whose  functional  currency  is  different  from  the 
group’s 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 average exchange rates for the period; and 

  All resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity. 

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  reserve 
account.  

(u) 

Employee benefits 

Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-monetary  benefits,  and  annual  leave  that  are 
expected  to  be  settled  within  12  months  of  the  reporting  date  are  recognised  in  respect  of 
employees’ services up to the reporting date.  They are measured at the amounts expected to be 
paid when the liabilities are settled.  Expenses for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when 
the  leave  is  taken and  are  measured at  the  rates  paid  or  payable.  All  other  short-term  employee 
benefit obligations are presented as payables. 

The  liability  for  long  service  leave  is  recognised  and  measured  as  the  present  value  of  expected 
future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date 
using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary 
levels,  experience  of  employee  departures,  and  periods  of  service.  Expected  future  payments  are 

53 

 
 
discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to 
maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. 

Contributions  to  defined  contribution  superannuation  plans  are  expensed  in  the  period  in  which 
they are incurred. 

(v) 

Comparatives 

Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified and repositioned for consistency 
with current year disclosures. 

(w) 

Share based payments 

Equity settled transactions 

The  Group  provides  benefits  to  the  directors  and  senior  executives  in  the  form  of  share 
options/performance rights under Harris Technology Group’s Long Term Incentive Plan.  These are 
equity settled transactions under Australian Accounting Standards. 

The  cost  of  these equity-settled  transactions  with  directors  and  senior  executives  is  measured  by 
reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date when the grant is made using an 
appropriate  valuation  model.  The  cost  is  recognised  together  with  a  corresponding  increase  in 
other capital reserve in equity over the period in which the performance and /or service conditions 
are fulfilled in employees benefits expense. The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled 
transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting 
period  has  expired  and  the  Group’s  best  estimate  of  the  number  of  equity  instruments  that  will 
ultimately vest. 

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any non-market vesting conditions. 

The charge to the statement of comprehensive income for the period is the cumulative amount as 
calculated less the amounts already charged in previous periods. There is a corresponding entry to 
equity. 

No  expense  is  recognised  for  awards  that  do  not  ultimately  vest,  except  for  equity-settled 
transactions for which vesting are conditional upon a market or non-vesting condition. These are 
treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, 
provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied. 

(x) 

Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent divided by 
the weighted average number of ordinary shares. 

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, divided 
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted 
for any bonus element.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES 

The  Group’s  principal  financial  instruments  comprise  cash,  receivables  and  other  receivables, 
payables and other payables. 

The  Group  manages  its  exposure  to  key  financial  risks,  including  interest  rate  risk  in  accordance 
with  the  Group’s  financial  risk  management  policy.    The  objective  of  the  policy  is  to  support  the 
delivery of the Group’s financial targets whilst protecting future financial security. 

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, credit risk and 
liquidity risk.  The Group uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to 
which  it  is  exposed.    These  include  monitoring  levels  of  exposure  to  interest  rate  risk  and 
assessments  of  market  forecasts  for  interest  rates.    Ageing  analyses  and  monitoring  of  specific 
credit  allowances  are  undertaken  to  manage  credit  risk.    Liquidity  risk  is  monitored  through  the 
development of future rolling cash flow forecasts. 

The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below. 

Primary  responsibility  for  identification  and  control  of  financial  risks  rests  with  the  Board.    The 
Board  reviews  and  agrees  policies  for  managing  each  of  the  risks  identified  below,  including  the 
setting of limits for interest rate risk, credit allowances and future cash flow forecast projections. 

Risk exposures and responses 

Interest rate risk 

At  reporting  date,  the  Group  had  the  following  financial  assets  exposed  to  Australian  variable 
interest  rate  risk.  The  Group  has  no  floating  interest  rate  exposure  on  financial  liabilities  as  the 
Group has no floating rate debt.

The Group constantly analyses its interest rate exposure.  Within this analysis consideration is given 
to potential renewals of existing positions, alternative financing and the mix of fixed and variable 
interest rates. 

The  following  sensitivity  analysis  is  based  on  the  interest  rate  risk  exposures  in  existence  at 
reporting date: 

55 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
At  30  June  2016,  if  interest  rates  had  moved,  as  illustrated  in  the  table  below,  with  all  other 
variables  held  constant,  post-tax  profit/(loss)  and  other  comprehensive  income  would  have  been 
affected as follows:

The  movements  in  post-tax  profit/(loss)  and  other  comprehensive  income  are  due  to  lower  cash 
balances on hand as at 30 June 2016.  The sensitivity is lower in 2016 than in 2015 as a result of 
lower cash holdings at 30 June 2016. 

Credit risk 

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents 
and trade and other receivables.  The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default 
of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.  
Exposure at balance date is addressed in each applicable note.   

It  is  the  Group’s  policy  that  all  customers  who  wish  to  trade  on  credit  terms  are  assessed  as  to 
creditworthiness, including an assessment of their independent credit rating, financial position, past 
experience and industry reputation.  Risk limits are set for individual customers.   

In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s 
exposure to bad debts is not significant.   

Foreign currency risk 

The  Group’s  transactions  are  carried  out  in  AUD.  Hence,  there  are  minimum  exposures  to  the 
Group’s statement of financial position that can be affected by foreign currencies. The Group does 
not have a hedge policy in place. 

Liquidity risk 

The  Group’s  objective  is  to  maintain  a  balance  between  continuity  of  funding  and  flexibility 
through the use of private equity facility and equity raisings. 

At  30  June  2016,  68%  of  the  Group’s  financial  liabilities  will  mature  in  less  than  one  year  (2015: 
96%).

cash flows for the respective upcoming fiscal periods are presented.  Cash flows for financial assets 
and liabilities without fixed amount or timing are based on the conditions existing at 30 June 2016.

Maturity analysis of financial assets and liabilities based on management’s expectation 

Management’s  expectation  reflects  a  balanced  view  of  cash  inflows  and  outflows.    The  Group’s 
assets mainly consist of cash and trade receivables with the liabilities consisting of trade payables 
from the ongoing operations of the business. To monitor existing financial assets and liabilities as 

57 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
well as to enable an effective controlling of funding for the business, the Group has established risk 
that reflects expectations of management in terms of expected settlement of financial assets and 
liabilities. 

All  financial  assets  and  most  liabilities  are  payable  within  12  months  of  reporting  date.  
Accordingly, the book value of each liability is equivalent to its fair value. 

The  liabilities  due  after  12  months  are  loans  with  fixed  interest  rate.  The  carrying  values  of  these 
loans are equivalent to their fair value. 

4. 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS 

The  preparation  of  the  Group’s  consolidated  financial  statements  requires  management  to  make 
judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  revenues,  expenses, 
assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. 
Uncertainty  about  these  assumptions  and  estimates  could  result  in  outcomes  that  require  a 
material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. 

Judgements 

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following 
judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated 
financial statements: 

Estimates and assumptions 

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the 
reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount 
of  assets  and  liabilities  within  the  next  financial  year,  are  described  below.  The  Group  based  its 
assumptions  and  estimates  on  parameters  available  when  the  consolidated  financial  statements 
were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may 
change  due  to  market  changes  or  circumstances  arising  beyond  the  control  of  the  Group.  Such 
changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur. 

Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets 

The fair  value of assets acquired are initially estimated by the Group taking into consideration all 
available information at the acquisition date. Fair value on goodwill and intangible assets has been 
impaired  due  to  the  significant  losses  that  arose  on  the  previous  acquisition.  To  determine  the 
value in use of the tested CGUs, cash flow forecasts with an appropriate discount rate have been 
prepared. 

Useful lives of depreciable assets 

The  Group  determines  the  estimated  useful  lives  and  related  depreciation  and  amortisation 
charges for its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives. The useful lives 
could  change  significantly  as  a  result  of  technical  innovations  or  some  other  event.  The 
depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where technical obsolescence or non-strategic 
assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.  

Financial liability - earn-out on acquisition 

The Group recorded a financial liability - earn-out on acquisition for the deferred consideration by 
shares in a business combination for a two year earn-out period. This financial liability - earn-out 
58 

 
 
on  acquisition  was  recognised  at  fair  value  at  the  present  value  of  expected  costs  to  settle  the 
obligation using a discount rate.  

The Group has reversed the deferred consideration on the pervious earn-out on acquisition due to 
the losses occurred on the acquisition. $585,752 has been impaired to goodwill and $121,835 has 
been recognised as gain on acquisition. The financial liability is reviewed at each reporting period. 
Movement in the financial liability from these changes are reported in the consolidated statement 
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 

Tax losses 

Deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  for  unused  tax  losses  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that 
taxable  profit  will  be  available  against  which  the  losses  can  be  utilised.  Significant  management 
judgement  is  required  to  determine  the  amount  of  deferred  tax  assets  that  can  be  recognised, 
based  upon  the  likely  timing  and  the  level  of  future  taxable  profits  together  with  future  tax 
planning strategies. 

The Group has $3,102,481 (2015: $1,522,679) of unused tax losses for which no deferred tax asset 
has  been  recognised.  The  tax  losses  pre  2011  may  not  be  used  to  offset  future  taxable  income 
because they may not meet the continuity of ownership or same business tests.

Tax Loss Deferred Tax Asset recognition 

Deferred tax assets will only be recognised if: 

a)  future assessable income is derived of a nature and amount sufficient to enable the benefit 

from the deductions to be realised; 

b)  the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation are complied with; and 

c)  no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the consolidated entity in realising the benefit. 

Unused  tax  losses  for  which  no  deferred  tax  asset  has  been  recognised  comprise  current  year 
estimated tax losses only and are not yet confirmed. 

Tax  losses  pre  2011 are not  recognised  because they  are  not expected  to  meet  the  continuity  of 
ownership or same business tests. 

Unrecognised temporary differences  

At  30  June  2016  there  are  no  temporary  differences  recognised  in  the  consolidated  financial 
position,  on  the  basis  of  an  assessment  that  recovery  through  future  taxable  income  of  those 
amounts is not probable at 30 June 2016 (2015: nil).

EARNINGS PER SHARE 

Basic earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing net profit/(loss) for the year attributable to 
ordinary  equity  holders  of  the  parent  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares 
outstanding during the year. 

Diluted  earnings/(loss)  per  share  is  calculated  by  dividing  the  net  profit/(loss)  for  the  year 
attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary 
shares  outstanding  during  the  year  plus  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares  that 
would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. 

The  following  reflects  the  income  and  share  data  used  in  the  calculations  of  basic  and  diluted 
earnings per share:

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing. 

Other receivables are non-interest bearing and have a repayment terms between 30 to 90 days. 

For terms and conditions relating to related party receivables refer to note 30. 

Allowance for impairment loss 

Trade  receivables  are  non-interest  bearing  and  are  generally  on  cash  on  delivery  terms.  The 
Group’s  trade  and  other  receivables  have  been  reviewed  for  impairment.    No  allowance  for 
impairment loss noted and recognised by the Group during the year. 

Other balances within trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past 
due. 

Fair value and credit risk 

Due  to  the  short  term  nature  of  these  receivables,  their  carrying  value  has  been  assessed  to 
approximate their fair value. 

The  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk  is  the  fair  value  of  receivables.    Collateral  is  not  held  as 
security, nor is it the Group’s policy to transfer (on-sell) receivables to special purpose entities.

The  group  has  assessed  the  carrying  value  of  goodwill  relating  to  eStore  and  Warcom  using  a 
discounted  cash  flow  model.  $807,912  has  been  impaired  from  goodwill  in  respect  of  the  eStore 
and  Warcom  businesses;  $585,752  of  financial  liability  has  been  reversed  in  respect  of  deferred 
consideration for the eStore earn-outs.

Impairment testing   

The recoverable amount of the consolidated entity's goodwill has been determined by a value-in-
use  calculation  using  a  discounted  cash  flow  model,  based  on  a  24  months  projection  period 
approved by management and extrapolated for a further 3 years using the following rates in key 
assumptions, together with a terminal value.  

Key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating units is 
most sensitive.  

The  following  key  assumptions  were  used  in  the  discounted  cash  flow  model  for  YHD  and  Wow 
baby: 

a.  15.4% post-tax discount rate;  

b.  $5.8m projected revenue for 2017, 50% per annum growth in 2018, 10% for 2019 and 5% 

for 2020 per annum projected revenue growth rate;  

c.  16.1% gross margin consistent for the next 5 years projection period; 

d.  Significant  costs  and  overheads  reduction  of  $1m  in  2017,  gradually  10%  increased 
overheads  in  2018  and  5%  for  2019  to  2020  per  annum  increase  in  operating  costs  and 
overheads. 

The  discount  rate  of  15.4%  reflects  management’s  estimate  of  the  time  value  of  money  and  the 
consolidated entity’s weighted average cost of capital adjusted for YHD, the risk free rate and the 
volatility of the share price relative to market movements 

The directors believe for FY2017, the revenue is conservatively assumed with the recent restructure 
and transition of YHD and Wow baby businesses. In FY2018, the directors believe the revenue will 
naturally return to standard trading level of $8m (YHD and Wow baby achieved greater than $9m 
revenue in FY2016). The projected revenue growth rate in the later 3 years is achievable based on 
the new management’s strategies and plans and the positive market outlook for the businesses.  

The  YHD  and  Wow  Baby  overheads  were  reduced  in  late  FY2016  as  part  of  the  restructure  and 
include  rationalised  performance  marketing  expenses,  heavily  reduced  headcount,  combining 
office  and  warehouse  operations,  examining  through  freight  expenses  on  out-bound  deliveries, 
termination  of  inefficient  third  party  professional  service  and  consultancies.  This  reduction  will 
continue in FY2017. 

The  overheads  increase  from  FY2018  onwards  will  be  mainly  used  on  improving  marketing 
strategies, improving market awareness of the brands and creating much better IT platform for the 
business operations. 

The calculated present value of the cash flow generating from YHD and Wow baby are $186k more 
than the CGU value from the balance sheet as of 30 June 2016, no impairment is needed.  

The directors believe with the closure and merger of the website to ht.com.au, eStore and Warcom 
will not generate enough cash flow to justify the goodwill assumed on acquisition.

Sensitivity 

As disclosed in note 4, the directors have made judgements and estimates in respect of impairment 
testing  of  goodwill.    Should  these  judgements  and  estimates  not  occur  the  resulting  goodwill 
carrying amount may decrease. The sensitivities are as follows: 

(a)  Revenue  would  need  to  decrease  by  more  than  2.1%  before  goodwill  would  need  to  be 
impaired, with all other assumptions remaining constant. 

(b)  The  discount  rate  would  be  required  to  increase  by  1.8%  before  goodwill  would  need  to  be 
impaired, with all other assumptions remaining constant. 

Management  believes  that  other  reasonable  changes  in  the  key  assumptions  on  which  the 
recoverable  amount  of  goodwill  is  based  would  not  cause  the  cash-generating  unit’s  carrying 
amount to exceed its recoverable amount. 

If  there  are  any  negative  changes  in  the  key  assumptions  on  which  the  recoverable  amount  of 
goodwill is based, this would result in a further impairment charge for goodwill.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS 

In  March  2015,  the  Group  bought  an  asset  business  combination,  eStore.  The  business  operates 
online  shopping  based  in  Australia.  The  Group  acquired  this  business  to  enlarge  the  range  of 
products in the online shopping division. 

The fair values of the identifiable assets of eStore as at the date of acquisition were: 

Cash and cash equivalents 

Inventories 

Property, plant & equipment (Note 15) 

Identifiable intangibles (Note 16) 

Total identifiable assets at fair value 

Goodwill arising on acquisition (Note16)

The assets recognised on 30 June 2015 accounts were based on a provisional assessment of their 
fair value at acquisition dates. The Group will have 12 months from the date of the acquisition date 
to finalise the fair value measurements of the assets based on more information obtained and to 
perform valuation on the identifiable intangibles and goodwill. 

Subsequent to the merger with Anyware Corporation and Harris Technology, the Group decided to 
merge the eStore website into ht.com.au. The group has assessed the goodwill fair value using a 
discounted  cash  flow  model.  $415,423  has  been  impaired  from  goodwill  in  respect  of  eStore. 
$585,752  of  financial  liability  has  been  reversed  in  respect  of  deferred  consideration  for  eStore 
earn-outs (Refer to note 16).

26.   ONEROUS CONTRACT PROVISION 

AASB 137 para 66 - 69 defines an onerous contract as a contract in which the unavoidable 
costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected 
to be received under it. The unavoidable costs under a contract reflect the least net cost of 
exiting from the contract, which is the lower of the cost of fulfilling it and any compensation 
or penalties arising from failure to fulfil it. 

The contingent liabilities were calculated on present value of remaining lease commitments 
discounted  by  WACC  (15.4%)  assuming  50%  of  the  lease  can  be  recovered  through  sub-
leasing.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

TO THE MEMBERS OF 

HARRIS TECHNOLOGY GROUP LIMITED 

Report on the Financial Report 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  financial  report  of  Harris  Technology  Group  Limited,  which  comprises  the 
consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2016,  and  the  consolidated  statement  of  comprehensive 
income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, 
notes  comprising  a  summary  of  significant  accounting  policies  and  other  explanatory  information,  and  the  directors' 
declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from 
time to time during the financial year. 

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report 

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in 
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the 
directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, 
whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 
Presentation  of  Financial  Statements,  that  the  financial  statements  comply  with  International  Financial  Reporting 
Standards. 

Auditor’s Responsibility 

Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  financial  report  based  on  our  audit.  We  conducted  our  audit  in 
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing 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  entity's  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  the  financial  report  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 entity'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 
opinions.

Independence  

In  conducting  our  audit,  we  have  complied  with  the  independence  requirements  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  We 
confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors 
of Harris Technology Group Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's 
report.  

Opinion 

In our opinion: 

(a)  the financial report of Harris Technology Group Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:  

(i)  giving  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  consolidated  entity’s  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2016  and  of  its 

performance for the year ended on that date; and 

(ii)  complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and 

(b)  the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 2(b). 

Emphasis of Matter 

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2c in the financial report, which indicates that the consolidated 
entity  incurred  a  loss  of  $6,510,012  (2015:  $2,481,432  loss)  and  had  cash  outflows  from  operating  activities  of 
$5,088,307 (2015: $123,283 outflow) during the year ended 30 June 2016. As of that date, the consolidated entity had 
net  current  liabilities  of  $1,577,208  (2015:  $662,979  net  current  assets)  and  net  liabilities  of  $1,683,999  (2015: 
$3,837,025 net assets).  These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2c, indicate the existence of a 
material  uncertainty  which  may  cast  significant  doubt  about  the  consolidated  entity’s  ability  to  continue  as  a  going 
concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the 
normal course of business. 

Report on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 29 to 36 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 
June 2016.  The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration 
Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the 
Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. 

Opinion  

In our opinion the Remuneration Report of Harris Technology Group Limited for the year ended 30 June 2016 complies 
with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
