Harris Technology Group Limited 2023 Annual Report   2 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Chairman and CEO Letter 

Dear Shareholders, 

We hereby present the review of operations and Annual Report for Harris Technology Group Limited 
for the financial year ended 30 June 2023. 

We are disappointed with the result which has been exacerbated by losses incurred in reducing 
inventory levels in the light of the continued slowing demand and the uncertain economic climate, 
which has particularly affected the IT segment.  

Review and Results of Operations 

Sales decline 

The Company experienced a 52% decrease in year on year sales to $24.2M. (2022: $50.3M). All our 
key marketplaces experienced similar reduction trends. The Company is expanding its presence on 
new and emerging platforms as well as enhancing its own website with the launch of HT     
Home.com.au and expanding our M2C category internationally using Amazon’s infrastructure. 

Amazon remains a key channel for Harris Technology. Our position and rating continue to be 
excellent, thus helping us to maintain a preferred status in claiming the “buy-box”. Whilst good sales 
results were experienced during Prime Day and other online events, the Company focused more on 
maintaining sales margins than increasing top-line as well as exiting underperforming products and 
brands. 

Challenging trading conditions 

As the situation resulting from the pandemic stabilised and the economy entered a period of 
uncertainty contributed to by inflationary trends, we experienced a slowdown in demand and traffic 
across most channels as can be seen in the revenue trend chart, particularly from January onwards 
when margins narrowed as a result of increased competitive discounting. This trend has affected the 
general eCommerce sector worldwide. 

Strengthening the balance sheet 

The team have been focused on improving margins and managing inventory levels, which have been 
under pressure as a result of the prevailing trading conditions. This will remain a focus going forward 
with the Company having executed a management review of all brands sold and reduced ongoing 
exposure to underperforming products. 

The trading loss for the year is disappointing given the Company’s trajectory, however we believe the 
challenges experienced have been contained by the progress made in moving to higher margin 
categories, the product review and reduction in inventory levels, with a turnaround in sight. 

Inventory and working capital levels have been reduced year-on-year and we are confident that the 
Company is able to meet its expected working capital requirements in the next financial year. 

Harris Technology Group Limited 2023 Annual Report   3 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Conclusion 

We believe the Company remains strongly positioned to capitalise on the widespread adoption 
towards online shopping with our move into higher margin categories and with improvement in the 
economic sentiment, the Company will again return to strong financial performance. 

Sincerely, 

Alan Sparks (Chairman)  
Garrison Huang 

(CEO)

Remuneration governance 

Remuneration Policy 

The  performance  of  the  Group  depends  upon  the  quality  of  its  Directors  and  executives.  To  be 
successful, the Group must attract, motivate, and retain highly skilled Directors and executives. To 
this  end,  the  Group  seeks  to  provide  competitive  rewards  to  attract  high  calibre  executives.  The 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount 
of remuneration of Non-Executive Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, and other Key Management 
Personnel  on  a  periodic  basis.  In  doing  so,  the  Nomination  and  Remuneration  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. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee 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 

•  Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

Directors’ Report 
(FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023) 

Tax consolidation 

Harris Technology Group and its 100% owned subsidiaries are part of an income tax consolidated 
group. 

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 29 to the consolidated 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 29 to the consolidated 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. 

Rounding of amounts 

The Company is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian 
Securities and Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been 
rounded off in accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in 
certain cases, the nearest dollar. 

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 director’s report.  

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Directors.

As lead auditor, I declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, during the year 
ended 30 June 2023 there have been: 

i.  no contraventions of the auditor independence requirements as set out in the 

Corporations Act 2001 in relation to the audit, and 

ii.  no contraventions of any applicable code of professional conduct in relation to the audit.

(for the Financial Year ended 30 June 2023) 

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  2023  was  authorised  for  issue  in 
accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 26th September 2023. 

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  

Basis of preparation 

These  general  purpose  financial  statements  of  the  Group  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  the 
Corporations  Act  2001,  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  of  the  Australian  Accounting 
Standards Board (AASB), and the Company’s Constitution. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting 
purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of 
the financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise. 

Australian  Accounting  Standards  set  out  accounting  policies  that  the  AASB  has  concluded  would  result  in 
financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. 

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

The financial statements, except for the cash flow information, have been prepared on an accruals basis and 
are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair  value of selected non-
current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. 

The functional currency of the Group is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in 
which  the  entity  operates.  The  financial  statements  are  presented  in  Australian  dollars  which  is  the  entity’s 
functional and presentation currency and is rounded to the nearest dollar. 

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

(for the Financial Year ended 30 June 2023) 

2. 

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

Accounting policies 

(a) 

Going concern 

As  disclosed  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  the  Group  made  a  loss  of  $3,303,671  (2022:  loss  of 
$1,464,735)  and  had  net  cash  inflow  from  operating  activities  of  $  485,516  (2022:  net  cash  out  flows  of 
$1,387,263) for the year ended 30 June 2023.  These conditions indicate a significant or material uncertainty 
about the consolidated Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

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

• 

The CEO, Mr Garrion Huang has committed a total facility of $4 million, of which 2.25 million has 

been utilised as at year end.  The facility is valid for 12 months from the signing of the financial 

statements; 

•  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 year;  

•  The Group is managing its cash flow and negotiating with creditors as needed; 

•  Active management of the current level of discretionary expenditure; and 

•  Raising additional working capital through the issue of debt or equity securities and/or other funding. 

This  financial  report  does  not  include  any  adjustments  relating  to  the  recoverability  and  classification  of 
recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be incurred should the 
consolidated entity not continue as a going concern. 

(b)  

Basis of consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries as at 
30  June  2023.  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 consolidated 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive Income from the date the Group gains control until the 
date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements  
(for the Financial Year ended 30 June 2023) 

2. 

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(b)  

Basis of consolidation (continued) 

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. 

(c) 

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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(c) 

Revenue recognition (continued) 

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. Dependent on the terms of the specific contract the transfer of control occurs either upon despatch or 
upon delivery. 

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. 

(d) 

Foreign currencies 

Functional and presentation currency 

The financial statements of each 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(d) 

Foreign currencies (continued) 

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 year; 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.  

(e) 

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.

2. 

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(e) 

Income tax and other taxes (continued) 

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 consolidated statement of financial position. 

•  Cash  flows  are  included  in  the  consolidated  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. 

(f) 

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 consolidated statement of financial position.  

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

(g) 

Trade and other receivables 

Trade receivables are initially recognised at transaction 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 (CONTINUED) 

(h) 

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.  Inventories  are  recorded  at  weighted 
average cost basis. 

 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.  

Volume rebates in relation to purchases are recognised in cost of sales when credited by the supplier. 

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. 

(i) 

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.  

(j) 

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 year 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:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)(i) 

(j) Intangibles assets other than goodwill (continued) 

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. 

(k) 

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: 

Office and warehouse equipment 

Furniture and Fixtures 

5 years 

5 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.

(l) 

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

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 consolidated statement of profit and 
loss  and  other  comprehensive  income,  unless  the  asset  is  carried  at  revalued  amount  in  which  case  the 
impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.  

(m) 

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 re measurement 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(n) 

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.  

(o) 

Trade and other payables 

These  amounts  represent  liabilities  for  goods  and  services  provided  to  the  Group  prior  to  the  end  of  the 
financial year 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. 

(p) 

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. 

(q) 

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.

(s) 

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

Employee benefits 

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave that are expected to be 
settled wholly 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. 

(t) 

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 control the goods 
or services to the customer. 

(u) 

Share based payments 

Equity settled transactions 

The Group provides benefits to the directors, senior executives and some third parties 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  and  for  third  parties  with  reference  to  the  fair  value  of  the  goods/services  provided.  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.

Share based payments (Cont.) 

Equity settled transactions (Cont.) 

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 consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income for the year 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. 

(w) 

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 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. 

There were no standards adopted in the current period that had a material impact on the Group. 

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

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 2023.

3.  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES 

The  Group’s  principal  financial  instruments  comprise  cash,  trade  and  other  receivables,  trade  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 financial 
assets at floating interest rates and debt obligations with a fixed interest rate. At reporting date, the Group had 
the following financial instruments exposed to Australian variable interest rate risk.

To minimise the exposure to credit risk for financial liabilities, the Group entered into a fixed rate contract for 
the finance facility. Accordingly, the financial liabilities are assessed as having a low credit risk.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

Risk exposures and responses (continued) 

Interest rate risk (continued.) 

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 Group has no material interest rate risk 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 consolidated statement of financial 
position and notes to the consolidated 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 (CONTINUED) 

Foreign currency risk 

The Group’s 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. 

As at 30 June 2023, 78% of the Group’s financial liabilities will mature in less than one year (2022:  100%). 

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 2023.

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 years.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

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: 

Revenue recognition 

The Directors have utilised judgement in determining the point of transfer of control to customers under each 
revenue contact. Judgment is required as there are multiple criteria to be assessed when determining the point 
of transfer of control of goods to customers. 

Deferred tax assets 

The Directors have utilised judgement in determining whether sufficient future taxable profits  are probable 
against which to offset unutilised tax losses and temporary differences. 

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 obsolescence of inventories 

Inventory provisions are recognised for slow-moving and unsalable inventory and are reviewed on a regular 
basis. In determining inventory provisions, the Group reviews the aging and the category of the inventory in 
order  to  make  appropriate  provisions  to  reflect  the  slow-moving  risk  of  the  inventory.  Categories  are 
determined based on stock turnover rates. Progressively higher provisions are applied as inventory turnover 
rates  decrease.  This  methodology  is  significantly  affected  by  the  forecasted  needs  for  inventory 

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,  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 is disclosed in note 12. 

Volume rebates 

Volume rebates in relation to purchases are recognised in cost of sales when the corresponding inventory is 
sold.  Estimation  is  required  with  respect  to  which  inventory  items  volume  rebates  are  allocated  to  in 
determining the cost of sales.

Deferred Tax Asset recognition 

The Directors have determined it is not probable there is sufficient future taxable profits against which to offset 
unutilised tax losses and temporary differences as at 30 June 2023 and consequently have: 

•  De-recognised  the  deferred  tax  asset  recognised  on  past  losses  and  timing  differences  brought 

forward on 1 July 2022; 

•  Not recognised deferred tax asset on current year losses incurred during 2022-2023 $2,705,027.  

The assessment of the probability of sufficient future taxable profits will be re-assessed at each reporting date. 

The total sum of losses not recognised as a deferred tax asset at 30 June 2023 is $6,214,902 (2022: $1,686,275)

EARNINGS PER SHARE 

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

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

and consequently diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share.

Terms and conditions of ordinary shares 

Ordinary shares have the right to receive dividends as declared and, in the event of winding up the Company, 
to participate in the proceeds from the sale of all surplus assets in proportion to the number and amounts 
paid up on shares held.  Ordinary shares entitle their holder to one vote, either in person or by proxy, at a 
meeting of the Company.   

Capital management 

The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating 
and healthy capital ratios to support its business and maximise the shareholder’s value. 

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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

TO THE MEMBERS OF HARRIS TECHNOLOGY GROUP LIMITED 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

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 2023, 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 Harris Technology Group Limited  is in accordance with 
the Corporations Act 2001, including: 

a.  giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2023 and of its 

financial performance for the year then ended, and 

b.  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 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 & Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for 
Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our 
opinion. 

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern 

We draw attention to Note 2(a) in the financial report, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss after 
tax of $3,303,673 for the year ended 30 June 2023 and had net cash inflows from operating activities of $ 
485,516 for the year ended 30 June 2023. As stated in Note 2(a), these events or conditions, along with 
other matters as set forth in Note 2(a), 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 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. 

Harris Technology Group Limited 2023 Annual Report   64 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
1.    Inventories 

Area of focus 

Refer to Note 4 Significant Accounting Estimates 
and Judgements and Note 13 Inventories 

The Group’s inventory of $4,747,855 is material to the 
financial statements and has decreased by $5,040,341, 
from the prior year balance of $9,788,196. 

Inventory is required to be carried at the lower of its cost 
and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a first in 
first out basis. 

The valuation of inventory involves judgement by 
management depending on the age and type of 
inventory. 

Because of the nature of the inventory, being mostly 
technological goods, the high level of judgement 
involved in determining its net realisable value, and the 
significant carrying amounts involved, we have 
determined that this is a key audit matter. 

2.    Revenue recognition 

Area of focus 

Refer to Note 4 Significant Accounting Estimates 
and Judgements and Note 7 Revenue 

The Group sales revenue of $24,185,155 is material to 
the financial statements and has decreased by 
$26,109,439 from the prior year amount of $50,295,594. 

Revenue recognition involves judgement by 
management on determining when control passes to the 
customer as well as identifying and quantifying any 
potential variable consideration. 

Because of the complexities involved in applying AASB 
15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and the 
estimation involved in quantifying variable consideration, 
we have determined that this is a key audit matter. 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Our audit procedures included: 

•  Obtaining an understanding and assessing key 

controls over the valuation of inventory 

•  Comparing cost and subsequent sales prices to 
ensure inventory was valued at the lower of cost 
and net realisable value 

•  Evaluating the ageing of inventory and any 

inventory that is expected to be slow moving 

•  Assessing the appropriateness of the inventory 
provisioning policy adopted by management 

•  Ensuring costs assigned to inventory were 

reasonable 

•  Obtaining an understanding of the methods, 

assumptions and data used by management in 
determining the need for writing down inventory 
to net realisable value 

•  Assessing whether the methods, assumptions 

and data were appropriate, and 

•  Assessing the adequacy of the disclosures in 

the financial statements in respect of inventory. 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Our audit procedures included: 

•  Obtaining an understanding of the various 

revenue streams and assessing key controls 
over revenue recognition 

•  Evaluating whether the Group’s accounting 
policy is in line with AASB 15 Revenue from 
Contracts with Customers 

•  Obtaining an understanding of the methods, 

assumptions and data used by management in 
revenue recognition 

•  Assessing whether the methods, assumptions 

and data were appropriate 

•  Evaluating the point of transfer of control to 

customers 

•  Recalculating variable consideration 

components, and 

•  Assessing the adequacy of the disclosures in 
the financial statements in respect of revenue 
recognition. 

Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon 

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 2023, but does not 
include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. 

Harris Technology Group Limited 2023 Annual Report   65 

 
 
 
 
 
 
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 has 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 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. 

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional 
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

• 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to 
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain 
audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of 
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting 
from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 

•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit 

procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing 
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. 

•  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 

estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.  

•  Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, 
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or 
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we 
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to 
the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our 
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. 
However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. 
•  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, 
and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that 
achieves fair presentation. 

•  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or 

business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for 

Harris Technology Group Limited 2023 Annual Report   66 

 
 
 
the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our 
audit opinion. 

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the 
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify 
during our audit. 

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements 
regarding independence, and to communicate with them, all relationships and other matters that may 
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate 
threats or safeguards applied. 

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. 
We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about 
the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be 
communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected 
to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. 

Report on the Remuneration Report 

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 17 to 22 of the directors’ report for the year 
ended 30 June 2023. 

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Harris Technology Group Limited for the year ended 30 June 
2023 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. 

Responsibilities 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration 
Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an 
opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing 
Standards.
