The M2C model consists of drop-shipping orders from manufacturers directly to consumers. In Harris Technology Group’s case, the Group will be able to leverage its strong existing business relationships in China, allowing products to be sourced directly from manufacturers in China and presented to consumers via Australian websites. This venture will have a strong Australian presence and an Australian based customer support and warranty team. The Group’s subsidiary Anyware Corporation is already operating as a successful distribution company that sources some products in China and further internationally. Anyware’s pre-existing modern infrastructure relating to importing, logistics, IT, marketing and finance is very complementary to the M2C model and will be the initial foundation allowing the Group to efficiently and effectively operate the venture. There will not be need for significant restructuring and capital investment. The M2C venture provides a number of cost benefits. The model effectively compresses the supply chain, ensuring competitive pricing and maximised cost saving. Little to zero stock holding will be required, as due to the drop ship element of the model inventory cost will only be incurred once a sale has been completed. Sales will be paid for by consumers upfront, ensuring each sale is cash flow positive. The structure and resources of the Group’s joint venture partner in Shenzhen, China will also be available to be fully utilized, significantly reducing Group operating costs. This model and its depth of product sourcing available will allow the Group to exponentially expand the market verticals it had presence in. The growing product range will present an exhaustive and diverse catalogue from both existing and new partners. There is no plan for the market verticals the M2C venture targets to overlap those in which Anyware Corporation operates in; it is instead intended for the venture to expand the Group’s reach into new verticals. The Group’s objective is to be a leader in the local growing M2C landscape, and to achieve sustainable revenue growth through the further development of this scalable business model. Revenue generation from this joint venture is expected to commence in late FY18.

There was a cash balance at 30 June 2017 of $2,219,264 (2016: $2,083,471). Likely developments and future prospects The Company is in the process of establishing a joint venture in Hong Kong to facilitate and strengthen its M2C strategy with partners in Shenzhen, China. The M2C model focuses on timely drop shipping to consumers straight from Chinese manufacturers, while providing consumers with a local presence and local customer service facilities. The M2C strategy will initially deal in mobile phone accessories. The M2C entity will not simultaneously sell in market segments that Anyware Corporation distributes in. 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.  Competition – The business technology distribution and retail industry is competitive and the Group may face increased competition from existing competitors (including through downward price pressure) and new competitors that enter the industry. Increased competition could have an adverse effect on the financial performance, industry position and future prospects of the Group. The Board has considered in particular the competition risk arising from Amazon’s intended entry into the Australian market. The Board anticipates several positive opportunities for the Group to increase sales volumes and traffic through Amazon’s market place platform, and consequently the Group does not believe that Amazon as a new market entrant will have a material adverse impact to the Group’s Harris Technology Group Limited Annual Report 2016/17 | 21 For personal use onlybusiness. Notwithstanding this, the Group is cognisant of the need to continue solidifying its competitive edge in the market through further development of systems and innovative solutions, and maintaining a high level of customer service.  Supplier pressure or relationship damage – The Group’s business model depends on having access to a wide range of products to distribute and sell. An increase in pricing pressure from suppliers or a damaged relationship with a supplier may increase the prices at which the Group procures products, or limit the Group’s ability to procure products from that supplier. If prices of products increase, the Group will be required to pass on or absorb the price increases, which may result in a decreased demand for the Group’s products or a decrease in profitability. If the Group is no longer able to order parts from a key supplier, it may lose customer orders and accounts, resulting in lower sales. Any decline in demand, sales or profitability may have an adverse effect on the Group’s business and financial performance.  Managing growth and integration risk – The integration of acquired businesses and the continued strategy of growing through acquisition will require the Group to integrate these businesses and where appropriate upscale its operational and financial systems, procedures and controls and expand and retain, manage and train its employees. There is a risk of a material adverse impact on the Group if it is not able to manage its expansion and growth efficiently and effectively, or if the performance of acquired businesses does not meet expectations.

Harris Technology Group Limited Annual Report 2016/17 | 38 For personal use only Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (for the Financial Year ended 30 June 2017) 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 2017 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 27 September 2017. 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 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 $3,060,892 (2016: $2,734,519 loss) and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $196,752 (2016: $1,379,493 inflows) for the year ended 30 June 2017. As at that date the consolidated entity had net liabilities of $1,629,519 (2016: $311,961 net liabilities). Harris Technology Group Limited Annual Report 2016/17 | 39 For personal use only These factors indicate a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt as to whether the consolidated entity will 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:  The consolidated entity has access to a $4,000,000 short term trade finance facility, of which $2,155,504 has been drawn down as at 30 June 2017.  The consolidated entity has positive net current assets of $1,795,463 as at 30 June 2017.  As disclosed in Note 28, on 23 August 2017 the Company negotiated a 12-month repayment extension to 31 October 2018, and a reduced interest rate from 10% to 5% on a $1,000,000 unsecured loan.  Excluding the non-cash impairment expense of $3,117,482, the consolidated entity had recorded a net profit of $56,590 and EBITDA of $567,881 for the year ended 30 June 2017.  Loan holders of the consolidated entity, equating to $4,138,305 of debt as at 30 June 2017, have provided commitments of financial support and irrevocably deferred monthly payments of principal and interest on loans for a period through to 30 June 2019. These payments are $145,696 per month. 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. Other than changes to disclosure formats, it is not expected that the initial application of these new standards in the future will have any material impact on the financial report, except for AASB 16 Leases. This standard requires operating leases which are currently held off balance sheet to be brought onto the balance sheet. Future expected lease payments should be capitalized and brought onto the balance sheet as an asset (right of use) and also reflects an offsetting liability and amortized together with interest costs over the expected remaining period of the leases. The expected value of such offsetting assets and liabilities at 30 June 2017 is $2,103,118 and the group has not brought such assets or liabilities to account. Harris Technology Group Limited Annual Report 2016/17 | 40 For personal use only Reference Title Summary AASB 9 Financial Instruments AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers AASB 16 Leases This Standard supersedes both AASB 9 (December 2010) and AASB 9 (December 2009) when applied. It introduces a “fair value through other comprehensive income” category for debt instruments, contains requirements for impairment of financial assets, etc. It contains a single model for contracts with customers based on a five-step analysis of transactions for revenue recognition, and two approach, a single time or over time, for revenue recognition. for the recognition, the principles AASB 16 sets out measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. This standard removes the current distinction between operating and financing leases and requires recognition of an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals for almost all lease contracts, effectively resulting in the recognition of almost all leases on the statement of financial position. The accounting by lessors, however, will not significantly change. Application date (calendar years beginning) 1-Jan-18 1-Jan-18 1-Jan-19 (e) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2017. 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 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 Harris Technology Group Limited Annual Report 2016/17 | 41 For personal use only 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). (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 of 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. Harris Technology Group Limited Annual Report 2016/17 | 42 For personal use only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. 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 Harris Technology Group Limited Annual Report 2016/17 | 43 For personal use only 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 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 Harris Technology Group Limited Annual Report 2016/17 | 44 For personal use only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: Software Development Domain and Websites Customer databases Brands 2 years 10 years 10 years 10 years (m) 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: Computer Office and warehouse equipment Motor vehicles Improvement 3 - 4 years 3 - 5 years 5 - 6 years 20 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. Harris Technology Group Limited Annual Report 2016/17 | 45 For personal use only (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 recognised 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 or 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. 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. (r) Trade and other payables Harris Technology Group Limited Annual Report 2016/17 | 46 For personal use only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. (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 Harris Technology Group Limited Annual Report 2016/17 | 47 For personal use only 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 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 employee 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. Harris Technology Group Limited Annual Report 2016/17 | 48 For personal use only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. 3. 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, currency 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. Derivative financial instruments are used by the Group to hedge exposure to exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency transactions. 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, hedging limits, credit allowances and future cash flow forecast projections. Risk exposures and responses Interest rate risk The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s debt obligations with the floating interest rate. At reporting date, the Group had the following financial instruments exposed to Australian variable interest rate risk. 2017 $ 2016 $ Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents (interest bearing) 111,199 8,428 Financial liabilities Interest bearing liabilities – floating rate (current) (2,155,504) (439,211) Interest bearing liabilities – fixed rate (current) (2,200,377) (1,204,418) Interest bearing liabilities – fixed rate (non-current) (4,251,422) (4,183,925) Net exposure (8,496,104) (5,819,126) Harris Technology Group Limited Annual Report 2016/17 | 49 For personal use only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: At 30 June 2017, 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: Post Tax Profit/(Loss) ($) Other Comprehensive Income ($) Higher / (Lower) Higher / (Lower) 2017 2016 2017 2016 Consolidated +1% (100 basis points) (84,961) (58,191) - 1% (100 basis points) 84,961 58,191 - - - - The movements in post-tax profit / (loss) and other comprehensive income are due to a larger net exposure as at 30 June 2017. The sensitivity is higher in 2017 than in 2016 as a result of this increased net exposure. 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. Insurance policies are in place to cover insured receivables and losses occurring due to insolvency or protracted default of insured debtors. 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 mainly in AUD and USD. The Group enters into forward exchange contracts to buy specified amounts of foreign currencies in the future at stipulated rates. The objective in entering into the foreign exchange contracts is to protect the economic entity against unfavourable exchange rate movements for the purchases undertaken in foreign currencies. Harris Technology Group Limited Annual Report 2016/17 | 50 For personal use only The Group’s risk management policy is to hedge between 25% and 100% of anticipated cash flows (purchase of inventory) in US Dollars for the subsequent 12 months. At 30 June 2017, 80% of US Dollar projected FY18 inventory purchases were hedged. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of reporting period, expressed in Australian dollars, was as follows: Forward/Option exchange contracts Buy US dollars 2017 $ 2016 $ 7,862,070 4,952,497 7,862,070 4,952,497 The carrying amount of the Group’s foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities at reporting date, expressed in Australian dollars, were as follows: Financial assets Cash - US dollars Financial liabilities Loans - US dollars Net exposure 2017 $ 2016 $ 26,177 194,326 (891,003) (1,344,468) (864,826) (1,150,142) At 30 June 2017, had the Australian dollar moved, with all other variables held constant, pre-tax profit / (loss) would have been affected as follows: Consolidated +5% (500 basis points) - 5% (500 basis points) Pre Tax Profit/(Loss) ($) Higher / (Lower) 2017 2016 41,182 54,769 (45,517) (60,534) The percentage change is the expected overall volatility of the significant currency, which is based on management’s assessment of reasonable possible fluctuations taking into consideration movements over the last 6 months each year and the spot rate at each reporting date. The actual foreign exchange loss for the year ended 30 June 2017 was $25,165 (2016: $77,018).

At 30 June 2017, 70.1% of the Group’s financial liabilities will mature in less than one year (2016: 70.3%). The table below reflects all contractually fixed payables and receivables for settlement, repayments and interest resulting from recognised financial assets and liabilities. The respective undiscounted cash flows for the respective upcoming fiscal periods are presented.

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 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 is initially estimated by the Group taking into consideration all available information at the acquisition date. The carrying value of 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. Provision for impairment of inventories The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of the provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence. Harris Technology Group Limited Annual Report 2016/17 | 53 For personal use only Provision for impairment of receivables The provision for impairment of receivables assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of receivables, historical collection rates and specific knowledge of the individual debtor's financial position. 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. 5.

During the year, $824,482 has been impaired from goodwill; $2,293,000 has been impaired from intangible assets. 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 the consolidated entity: a. 15.8% post-tax discount rate; b. $59.8m projected revenue for 2018, 6.5% per annum growth in 2019, 5% for 2020 and 5% for 2021 per annum projected revenue growth rate; c. 14.0% gross margin consistent for the next 5 years projection period; d. Gradual costs and overheads increase of 5% in 2018 and 2019, 4% increase in 2020 and 2021 per annum in operating costs and overheads. The discount rate of 15.8% reflects management’s estimate of the time value of money and the consolidated entity’s weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the group, the risk free rate and the volatility of the share price relative to market movements. The directors believe the projected 8% revenue growth rate in 2018 is in accordance with the acquisition strategy and M2C strategy. The lower rate of growth in later years is prudent justified. Harris Technology Group Limited Annual Report 2016/17 | 62 For personal use only Compared to prior years, the directors have reduced their estimation of the increase in operating costs and overheads, due to the divestment of YHD business and also an effort by the consolidated entity to contain costs. The overheads increase from FY2018 onwards will be mainly used on improving distribution sales forces, improving operational efficiency and investment on M2C strategies. The calculated present value of the cash flow generating from the consolidated entity was less than the CGU value from the balance sheet as of 31 December 2016. Goodwill and intangible assets which arose on the acquisition of Anyware and Audion have been impaired by $3,117,482. 17.

In our opinion, except for the matter referred to in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for Qualified Opinion We were appointed as auditors of Anyware Corporation Pty Ltd (“Anyware”) on 19 October 2016 and thus did not observe the counting of the physical inventories at 30 June 2016. As disclosed in our Key Audit Matters section Anyware completed a reverse acquisition of Harris Technology Group Limited on 19 July 2016. As a result this financial report is prepared as a continuation of the business and operations of Anyware. We were unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning inventory quantities held at 30 June 2016. Since opening inventories enter into the determination of the financial performance and cash flows, we were unable to determine whether adjustments might have been necessary in respect of the income for the year reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the net cash flows from operating activities reported in the consolidated statement of cash flows. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern We draw attention to Note 1c in the financial report, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of $3,060,892 and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $196,752 during the year ended 30 June 2017 and, as of that date, the Group's total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $1,629,519. As stated in Note 1c, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note1c, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not further modified in respect of this matter. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section and Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed this matter Accounting for Business Combinations Refer to Note 23 & 24 in the financial statements During the year, the consolidated entity completed the acquisition of Anyware Corporation Pty Ltd (“Anyware”) as described the consolidated financial statements. in Note 23 of this that transaction was The effect of the shareholders of Anyware hold 76.42% in the combined entity, and therefore Anyware has been determined to be the accounting acquirer and the Company The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition under AASB 3 Business Combinations. the accounting subsidiary. The acquisition of Anyware is technically complex from an accounting perspective and involves significant management judgment in determining the acquiring entity and the fair value of consideration paid. In addition the consolidated entity completed the acquisition of Audion Innovation Pty Ltd during the year as described in Note 24 of the consolidated financial statements. • • Our procedures to assess the accounting treatment of the acquisition included: • Obtaining the share purchase agreements and other associated documents, and ensuring that the transaction had been accounted for in compliance with AASB 3 Business Combinations. • Critically evaluating management’s determination that Anyware was the acquiring entity • Challenging in determining the key assumptions used by management the accounting treatment, and the fair value of consideration paid, having consideration of the various related documents and agreements as well as the requirements of the Australian Accounting Standards; Inspecting management’s support for the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired as part of the transaction and testing the reasonableness of the assumptions and inputs used in determining the fair value of consideration paid; and Assessing financial the appropriateness of statement disclosures in relation to the acquisition. 76 For personal use onlyKey Audit Matter How our audit addressed this matter Impairment of Intangible Assets Refer to Note 16 in the financial statements The consolidated entity has incurred an impairment expense of $3,117,482 relating to the write down of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets recognised via numerous acquisitions over the last few financial years. Management performed an impairment assessment over the balance of intangible assets by: calculating the value in use for the individual CGU identified using a discounted cash flow model; and comparing the resulting value in use of the CGU to its book value. Based on the assessment conducted the value in use was less than their respective book values and management wrote down the intangible assets by an amount of $3,117,482. The residual assets in the CGUs were assessed to be held at the higher of their fair value less costs of disposal and their value in use, and therefore were not impaired. We identified this area as a Key Audit Matter due to the size of the an impairment expense, and because the directors’ assessment of the ‘value in use’ of the cash generating unit (“CGU”) involves judgements about the future underlying cash flows of the business and the discount rates applied to them. Recognition of Revenue Refer to Note 1(f) in the financial statements The Group earns revenue through online retailing. Revenue was considered a key audit matter because it is the most significant account balance in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, which generally occurs at the point of delivery. However complexity arises due to direct drop shipping arrangements where the inventory is shipped to the customer directly from the supplier and these arrangements were assessed to have an increased risk associated with cut-off. Our audit procedures in relation to management’s impairment assessment included: • Assessing management’s determination that the goodwill should be allocated to a single CGU based on the nature of the Group’s business and the manner in which results are monitored and reported; Assessing the valuation methodology used; of key assumptions, including the cash flow projections, discount rates, and sensitivities used; reasonableness • • Challenging the • Checking the mathematical accuracy of the cash to flow model, and supporting evidence, such as approved budgets and considering the reasonableness of these budgets; and input data reconciling • Utilising the RSM corporate finance team as the audit to assist with auditor’s experts procedures listed above. Our audit procedures in relation to the cut-off of revenue included: • the Group’s Assessing whether revenue recognition policies were in compliance with Australian Accounting Standards; Evaluating and testing the operating effectiveness of management’s controls related to revenue recognition; and Assessing sales transactions before and after year-end to ensure that revenue is recognised in the correct period. • • 77 For personal use onlyOther Information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017, but does not include the financial report and the auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
