Chairman and CEO Letter 

Dear Shareholders, 

Harris Technology Group Limited (the Company) 
and its controlled entities (the Group) present its 
results for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 
(“FY20”).  

Review and Results of Operations 

A  review  of  Harris  Technology  Group  for  the 
FY 20 is contained in three parts:  

1. Continuing Operations; and 

2. Forward View 

Continuing Operations

Harris  Technology  Group  Limited  recorded  a 
substantial  turnaround  in  performance.  The 
Group  used  its  expertise  and  knowledge  to 
further  develop  its  online  IT  and  consumer 
electronics  operations  as  well  as  reviewing 
new opportunities. HT8 established the “Pro-
Hygiene”  division  in  April  2020,  which  has 
achieved significant revenue and is profitable 
in a very short period of time. 

The  rationalisation  of  staff,  warehousing  and 
other  overheads  it  was  completed  which 
allowed management to focus on developing 
the  B2C  sales  channels  for  IT  and  consumer 
sales  were 
electronic  products.  Strong 
experienced  across 
the  entire  range  of 
products, together with product diversification 
to  include  mobile  phone  accessories  and 
consumables  such  as  inks  and  toners  plus 
gaming  products.  Sales  of  antivirus  software 
also increased. 

Forward View 

In August 2020, HT8 undertook a private 
placement to raise $3.5 million at 8c per share 
and a Share Purchase Plan at 8c per share to 
raise a $1.4 million. With the additional 
capital now available, coupled with the 
structural shift in consumer behaviour 
towards increasingly shopping online, HT8 is 
well positioned to take advantage of the retail 
“revolution” in the coming months and years. 
The company has a proven strategy as well as 
experienced professional management team 
to drive further growth. The board of the 
company is confident that HT8 will continue 
to deliver strong revenue and improved 
profitability in FY2020-2021.

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

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  Committee  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.  Following  changes  to  the  structure  of  the  Board,  the 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee has been suspended and its functions are currently being 
performed by the entire Board. 

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

Non-audit services 

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the 
financial year by the auditor are outlined in note 30 to the financial statements.

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the 
auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible with the general standard 
of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.  

The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 30 to the financial statements 
do not compromise the external auditor's independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 
for the following reasons: 

●  

● 

all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not 
impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and 

none  of  the  services  undermine  the  general  principles  relating  to  auditor 
independence  as  set  out  in  APES  110  Code  of  Ethics  for  Professional  Accountants 
issued  by  the  Accounting  Professional  and  Ethical  Standards  Board,  including 
reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-
making  capacity  for  the  company,  acting  as  advocate  for  the  company  or  jointly 
sharing economic risks and rewards. 

Auditor’s independence declaration 

A copy of the auditor's independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations 
Act 2001 is set out immediately after this directors' report.

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  2020  was 
authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 29 September 2020.  

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

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

(a) 

Significant accounting policies 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out 
below.  These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise 
stated. 

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted 

The group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued 
by the Australian Accounting Standard Board (“AASB”) that are mandatory for the current reporting 
period. 

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not 
been early adopted. 

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the group : 

AASB 16 Leases 

The group has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for 
lessees eliminates the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Except for short-term 
leases  and  leases  of  low-value  assets,  right-of-use  assets  and  corresponding  lease  liabilities  are 
recognised in the statement of financial position. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition 
is replaced with a depreciation charge for the right-of-use assets (included in operating costs) and 
an interest expense on the recognised lease liabilities (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods 
of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared 
to lease expenses under AASB 117. However, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and 
Amortisation)  results  improve  as  the  operating  expense  is  now  replaced  by  interest  expense  and 
depreciation in profit or loss. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the interest portion 
is  disclosed  in  operating  activities and  the principal  portion  of  the  lease payments  are  separately 
disclosed in financing activities. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change 
how a lessor accounts for leases.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) 

Impact of adoption 

AASB 16 was adopted using the modified retrospective approach and as such the comparatives have 
not been restated. The impact of adoption on opening retained earnings as at 1 July 2019 was as 
follows: 

Operating lease commitments as at 1 July 2019 (AASB 117) 

Finance lease commitments as at 1 July 2019 (AASB 117) 

Operating lease commitments further term option reasonably certain to be exercised 
(AASB 16) 

Operating lease commitments discounted based on the weighted average incremental 
borrowing rate of 6% (AASB 16) 

Short-term leases not recognised as a right-of-use asset (AASB 16) 

Low-value leases not recognised as a right-of-use asset (AASB 16) 

Right-of-use asset (AASB 16) 

Lease liabilities – current (AASB 16)

(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 group had net cash outflows 
from operating activities of $762,061 for the year ended 30 June 2020.  As at that date the group 
had net liabilities of $3,892,395.  

The Directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that the group will continue as a going concern 
and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report 
after consideration of the following factors: 

 The group has prepared budgets and cash flow forecasts for the next 12 months from the 
date  of  this  report  which  indicate  the  group  will  have  a  positive  cash  balance  during  this 
period;  

 Subsequent to year end, the group raised funds of $4.9m through a private placement of 
$3.5m and a capital raise from a share purchase plan of $1.4m to support its business plan; 
 The Directors with loans to the group , equating to $4,764,212 of debt as at 30 June 2020, 
have irrevocably deferred monthly payments of principal and interest on loans for a period 
through to 1 July 2021 , or sooner if the group has the capacity to repay these loans without 
impacting the ongoing viability of the group ; and 

 The Directors are negotiating with an external loan holder to extend the repayment terms of 
a $867,727 loan, as disclosed in Note 19 Financial Liability, and are confident that the loan 
extension will be successful.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) 

(d)  

Basis of consolidation 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  comprise  the  financial  statements  of  the  Group  and  its 
subsidiaries as at 30 June 2020. 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; 

 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; and  

 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

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) 

(e) 

Revenue recognition 

The group recognises revenue as follows: 

Revenue from contracts with customers 

Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the group is expected 
to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a 
customer, the group: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations 
in  the  contract;  determines  the  transaction  price  which  takes  into  account  estimates  of  variable 
consideration  and  the  time  value  of  money;  allocates  the  transaction  price  to  the  separate 
performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good 
or  service  to  be  delivered;  and  recognises  revenue  when  or  as  each  performance  obligation  is 
satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised. 

Variable  consideration  within  the  transaction  price,  if  any,  reflects  concessions  provided  to  the 
customer  such  as  discounts,  rebates  and  refunds,  any  potential  bonuses  receivable  from  the 
customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the 'expected 
value' or 'most likely amount' method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a 
constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable 
that  a  significant  reversal  in  the  amount  of  cumulative  revenue  recognised  will  not  occur.  The 
measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is 
subsequently  resolved.  Amounts  received  that  are  subject  to  the  constraining  principle  are 
recognised as a refund liability. 

Sale of goods 

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control 
of the goods, which is generally at the time of delivery. 

Rendering of services 

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over time as the services are rendered 
based on either a fixed price or an hourly rate. 

Interest 

Interest  revenue  is  recognised  as  interest  accrues  using  the  effective  interest  method.  This  is  a 
method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over 
the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated 
future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the 
financial asset. 

Other revenue 

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) 

Discontinued operations  

A discontinued operation is a component of the group  that has been disposed of or is classified as 
held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, 
is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is 
a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are 
presented separately on the face of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 

(g) 

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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) 

(g) 

Income tax and other taxes (Cont.) 

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. 

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar 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. 

(h) 

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. 

(i) 

Trade and other receivables 

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost 
using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables 
are generally due for settlement within 30 days.  

The group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a 
lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been 
grouped based on days overdue. 

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) 

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.  

(k) 

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 impairment losses. Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development 
costs, are not capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected profit or loss in the period which 
the expenditure is incurred. 

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:

Intangibles assets other than goodwill (Cont.) 

Impairment of other intangible assets 

Other  intangible  assets  that  have  an  indefinite  useful  life  are  not  subject  to  amortisation and are 
tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate 
that they might be impaired. Other intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events 
or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  may  not  be  recoverable.  An 
impairment  loss  is  recognised  for  the  amount  by  which  the  asset's  carrying  amount  exceeds  its 
recoverable amount. 

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The 
value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-
tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that 
do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit. 

(l) 

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:

5 - 6 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) 

(m) 

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.  

(n) 

Right-of-use-assets 

A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is 
measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, 
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, 
any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of 
costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the 
site or asset. 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease 
or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the group  expects to obtain 
ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated 
useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease 
liabilities. 

The group  has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for 
short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on 
these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. 

(o) 

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.

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.  

(q) 

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. 

(r) 

Lease liabilities 

A  lease  liability  is  recognised  at  the  commencement  date  of  a  lease.  The  lease  liability  is  initially 
recognised  at  the  present  value  of  the  lease  payments  to  be  made  over  the  term  of  the  lease, 
discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, 
the group's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease 
incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected 
to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of 
the  option  is  reasonably  certain  to  occur,  and any  anticipated  termination  penalties.  The  variable 
lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they 
are incurred.  

Lease  liabilities  are  measured  at  amortised  cost using  the  effective  interest  method.  The  carrying 
amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a 
change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and 
termination  penalties.  When  a  lease  liability  is  remeasured,  an  adjustment  is  made  to  the 
corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset 
is fully written down.

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.

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 group are translated into functional currency 
at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction.   

Foreign currency monetary items that are outstanding at the reporting date (other than monetary 
items arising under foreign currency contracts where the exchange rate for that monetary item is 
fixed in the contract) are translated using the spot rate at the end of the financial year.   

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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) 

(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  expect  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) 

Contract liabilities 

Contract liabilities represent the group 's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer and 
are recognised when a customer pays consideration, or when the group  recognises a receivable to 
reflect its unconditional right to consideration (whichever is earlier) before the group  has transferred 
the goods or services to the customer. 

(w) 

Comparatives 

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

(x) 

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.

Equity settled transactions 

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. 

(y) 

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.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted 

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but 
are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the group  for the annual reporting period 
ended 30 June 2020. The group 's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting 
Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the group , are set out below. 

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework) 

The revised Conceptual Framework is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 
January 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition 
and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting 
Standards.  Where  the  group    has  relied  on  the  existing  framework  in  determining  its  accounting 
policies for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with under the Australian 
Accounting Standards, the group  may need to review such policies under the revised framework. At 
this time, the application of the Conceptual Framework is not expected to have a material impact on 
the group 's financial statements.

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.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONT.)

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 2020, 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)

- 1% (100 basis points) 

46,666 

43,562

46,666

43,562

The movements in post-tax profit / (loss) and other comprehensive income are due to a larger net 
exposure as at 30 June 2020.  The sensitivity is higher in 2020 than in 2019 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.  

The  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk  at  the  reporting  date  to  recognised  financial  assets  is  the 
carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement 
of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The group has adopted a lifetime expected 
loss  allowance  in  estimating  expected  credit  losses  to  trade  receivables  through  the  use  of  a 
provisions  matrix  using  fixed  rates  of  credit  loss  provisioning.  These  provisions  are  considered 
representative  across  all  customers  of  the  group  based  on  recent  sales  experience,  historical 
collection rates and forward-looking information that is available.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONT.)

Foreign currency risk 

The groups exposure to currency risk is minimal at this stage of its operations.  

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 2020, 45.12% of the Group’s financial liabilities will mature in less than one year (2019: 
48.63%). 

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.  Cash flows for financial assets 
and liabilities without fixed amount or timing are based on the conditions existing at 30 June 2020.

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 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.

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. 

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. 

Allowances for expected credit losses 

The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. 
It  is  based  on  the  lifetime  expected  credit  loss,  grouped  based  on  days  overdue,  and  makes 
assumptions  to  allocate  an  overall  expected  credit  loss  rate  for  each  group.  These  assumptions 
include recent sales experience, historical collection rates, the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) 
pandemic  and  forward-looking  information  that  is  available.  The  allowance  for  expected  credit 
losses,  as  disclosed  in  note  12,  is  calculated  based  on  the  information  available  at  the  time  of 
preparation. The actual credit losses in future years may be higher or lower. 

Incremental borrowing rate 

Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing 
rate is estimated to discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability 
at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is based on what the group  estimates it would have 
to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-
of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment.

(for the Financial Year ended 30 June 2020)

4. 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (CONT.) 

Lease term 

The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and 
lease liability. Judgement is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an 
option  to  extend  the  lease  or  purchase  the  underlying  asset  will  be  exercised,  or  an  option  to 
terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease 
term. In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive 
to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease 
commencement date. Factors considered may include the importance of the asset to the group 's 
operations; comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant 
penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and disruption to replace 
the asset. The group  reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or 
not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances

DISCONTINUED OPERATION 

On 31 August 2018, the company announced that it signed a Business Asset Purchase Agreement to 
sell Anyware Corporation Pty Ltd ('Anyware') to Leader Computers Pty Ltd ('Leader').  The sale was 
completed on 2 October 2018 with employees and certain business assets and liabilities transferred 
to Leader.  The consideration received from the sale was the carrying value of the business assets 
and  liabilities  and  $200,000.    The  residual  assets  of  Anyware  not  sold  to  Leader,  which  consist 
primarily of inventory, have been impaired and will be sold under the brand name APCA in the normal 
course of business.

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 group 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.

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

Company,  to  participate  in  the  proceeds  from  the  sale  of  all  surplus  assets  in  proportion  to  the

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic 
conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may return capital to shareholders 
or issue new shares. The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by 
total capital plus net debt.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE 

The group completed a capital raise of $3.5m through a private placement on 11 August 2020 to 
existing shareholders, sophisticated and professional investors.  

Mr. Bob Xu resigned as a non-executive director of the group effective on the 2 September 2020. 

On  the  4  September  2020,  the  group  completed  a  capital  raise  through  a  share  purchase  plan 
resulting in 17.5m shares to be issued at 8c per share to raise a maximum of $1.4m.  

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has been financially 
positive for the group  up to 30 June 2020, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, 
positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent 
on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social 
distancing  requirements,  quarantine,  travel  restrictions  and  any  economic  stimulus  that  may  be 
provided. 

No other matters or circumstances has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, or 
may significantly affect the group ’s operations, the results of those operations, or the group ’s state 
of affairs in future financial years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 
To the Members of Harris Technology Group Limited 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Harris Technology Group Limited (the Company), and its subsidiaries (the 
Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and 
the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including 
a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.  

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
including: 

(i) 

Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial 
performance for the year then ended; and  

(ii) 

Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.  

Basis for Opinion 

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  Australian  Auditing  Standards.  Our  responsibilities  under  those

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

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.

Key Audit Matter 

How our audit addressed this matter 

Stock Obsolescence  
Refer to Note 13 in the financial statements 
The Group’s inventory balance, as disclosed in Note 
13,  consists  primarily  of  finished  goods  of  various 
technology products and solutions. 

Inventory  is  valued  at  the  lower  of  cost  or  net 
realisable  value.  The  assessment  of 
the  net 
realisable  value  of  inventory  requires  a  significant

judgment. 

the 

On  the  basis  of  the  factors  set  out  above,  the 
valuation  of  inventory  was  considered  to  be  a  Key 
Audit Matter. 

Going Concern  
Refer to Note 2 (c) in the financial statements 
The  financial  statement  have  been  prepared  on  a 
going concern basis as disclosed in Note 2(c).  

Historically,  the  Group  has  been  loss  making,  with 
operating  cash  outflows,  net  current  liabilities,  and 
net liabilities.  

We included the going concern assumption as a Key 
Audit  Matter  as  it  relies  on  existing  cash  reserves, 
continued  support 
its  debt  holders,  and 
continued revenue growth and profitability.  

from 

Our audit procedures included: 
  Evaluating  management 

assumptions 

and 
estimates applied to the provision for obsolescence 
through  analysis  of  historical  sales  levels  by 
inventory  product  from  the  date  the  product  was

  Assessing the Group’s application  of its policy for 

determining the provision for obsolescence; 

  Performing  analytical  procedures  in  respect  of 
inventory holdings and inventory turnover; and 
  Testing  the  sales  prices  of  inventory  to  ensure 

inventory is not being sold at less than cost. 

Our audit procedures included: 

  Assessing the cash flow requirements of the Group 
through to September 2021 based on budgets and 
forecasts  and  considering  potential  downside 
scenarios  and  the  resultant  impact  on  available 
funds;

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 2020 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.  

A  further  description  of  our  responsibilities  for  the  audit  of  the  financial  report  is  located  at  the  Auditing  and 
Assurance  Standards  Board  website  at:  www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar2.pdf.  This  description
