CHAIRMAN’S REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder,
It is with pleasure that the directors present this 20th annual report of HiTech Group Australia Limited
(‘HiTech’) since the listing of the company on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) on 17 April
2000.
For the financial year ended 30 June 2019, the consolidated entity’s operating revenue is $30,284,662
an increase of 15% over the previous corresponding period (pcp):
Gross Profit is $5,777,819, an increase of 9% over pcp (FY18: $5,279,899).
Underlying EBITDA is $4,089,810, an increase of 10% over pcp
Underlying NPAT is $2,898,316, an increase of 13% over pcp
Underlying full diluted EPS is 7.62 cents, an increase of 13% over pcp
Our Net tangible Assets (NTA) is $0.19 per share.
The directors have declared a fully franked dividend of 4 cents per share which was paid on 12
September 2019 to shareholders registered on close of business on 29 August 2019.
The Australian job market, particularly the ICT sector, has seen strong demand for quality talent. We
have succeeded in placing quality candidates into many positions throughout the public and private
sectors. Our focus has been on retaining our valued clients, winning new business, diversifying and
ensuring that operating costs are kept to a minimum. Just as the global and local economies evolve,
we are constantly evolving and improving our systems and productivity to provide a more relevant
service to our clients and candidates.
HiTech remains a resilient and strong company with a strong balance sheet and ample cash reserves.
We are committed to continuously improving our revenue and profitability as the opportunities arise.
Whilst we are active in non-ICT areas of recruitment, the ICT recruitment and contracting business
within the group, remains our key recurring revenue generator. We have been successful in securing
clients nationally so that we can further diversify our client base. HiTech has a proven business model
that has evolved over the past 26 years. I am confident that our commitment to growth and profitability
will enhance value for all our shareholders in the future.
We are ready to take advantage of market opportunities and EPS accretive acquisitions to increase
stakeholder returns. The future for HiTech continues to look very positive. Our results are the best in
our market sector in terms of profitability.
The directors extend their appreciation to all our dedicated team members, candidates, clients and
shareholders for their efforts and support during the year.
Yours sincerely,
Raymond Hazouri
Chairman

Notes
1. The directors of the Company are accountable to shareholders for the proper management of the
business and affairs of the Company. The role of the board is to approve the strategic direction of
the Group, guide and monitor the management of HiTech in achieving its strategic plans and
oversee good governance practice.
The express responsibilities of the board include:
• establishing, monitoring and reviewing corporate strategies and performance objectives;
• appointing and when necessary replacing the CEO, Company Secretary and senior
•
management;
reviewing the performance and composition of the board and approving board, CEO and
executive succession planning and remuneration frameworks;
• approving and monitoring financial reporting and Company performance, including the
external audit and ensuring continuous material disclosure;
• approving dividends, major capital expenditure, acquisitions and capital
raising/restructures;
• ensuring that appropriate risk management systems, internal compliance and control,
reporting systems, codes of conduct, and legal compliance measures are in place and
effective; and
• monitoring progress in relation to the Company’s diversity objectives and compliance with
its diversity policy.
The managing director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr. E Hazouri, is a member of the board.
The CEO has responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the Company and is supported in these
functions by senior management. The board maintains ultimate responsibility for strategy and
control of the Company.
The board has delegated day-to-day responsibility for the management of the Company to the
CEO/Chairman, including:
•
•
implementing corporate strategies and making recommendations to the board on
significant corporate strategic initiatives;
implementing and maintaining appropriate risk management and compliance frameworks;
and
• keeping the board updated on the performance of the Company, including financial
reporting and continuous disclosure information.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued)
2. The board oversees the appointment and induction process for directors and committee members,
and the selection, appointment and succession planning process of the Company’s executive
management team. When a vacancy exists or there is a need for particular skills, the board
determines the selection criteria based on the required skills. The appropriate skill mix, education,
experience, personal qualities, and diversity are factors taken into account in each case, and the
appropriate checks are made into the candidate’s background. If these criteria are met and the
board appoints the candidate as a director, that director must have their appointment approved by
shareholders at the next annual general meeting. The skills, experience and expertise relevant to
the position of each director in office during the year ended 30 June 2019 are detailed on pages 12
– 13 of this report.
The board aims through the notices of meeting for annual general meetings to provide shareholders
with all material information known to the board relevant to a decision on whether or not to elect or
re-elect a director, as well as a statement as to whether the board supports the election or re-
election of the director.
Senior executives, including the CEO and the Company Secretaries, have a formal job description
and letter of appointment describing their term of office, duties, rights and responsibilities. The
appointment letter is consistent with the ASX Recommendations.
There is no formal process for periodic evaluation of the performance of the board, board
committees, individual directors and senior executive. While no performance evaluation of the
Board or management was carried out during the reporting period, this is continually monitored by
the Chairman and the Board. The Chairman also speaks to each director individually regarding
their role as a director
The Company Secretaries have responsibility for the company secretarial duties, including
coordination of all Board business, including agendas, Board papers, minutes, communication with
regulatory bodies and ASX, and all statutory and other filings, and are accountable directly to the
board, through the Chairman. The decision to appoint or remove company secretaries are made by
the board.
3. The company does not have a nomination committee as the size of the company and the board
does not warrant such a committee. All board nomination matters are considered by the whole
board, including board succession, continuing development of board members and performance
evaluation.
4. Of the three directors, Mr. G. Shad is a non-executive and an independent director. While a majority
of the board members are not independent directors, the board believes that the people on the
board can and do make independent judgements in the best interests of the company at all times.
No independent director of the Company has any interest, position, association or relationship that
may compromise the independence of the director based on the criteria described in Box 2.3 of
the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (Third edition March 2014).
5. The chairman is an executive director and a major shareholder and therefore is not an independent
director. The Board believes that even though the chairman is not an independent director the
chairman is able to make quality and independent judgements on all relevant issues falling within
the scope of the role of a chairman.
The roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are currently exercised by the same individual
which is believed to be appropriate given the size of the Company.
The length of service of each director is set out in the following table:
Director
Length of Service
Mr. R. Hazouri
Mr. E. Hazouri
Mr. G. Shad
26 years

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued)
6. The consolidated entity recognises the need for directors and employees to observe the highest
standards of behaviour and business ethics. All directors and employees are required to act in
accordance with the law and with the highest standard of propriety.
The Company has adopted a code of conduct to guide compliance with legal and other obligations
to stakeholders of
the Company which may be accessed on the Company’s website
(https://www.hitechaust.com). This code provides guidance to directors and management on
practices necessary to maintain confidence in the integrity of the Company.
7. The Board has not yet established objectives in relation to gender diversity but is committed to a
continuation of current employment practices where employees are selected on merit. The aim is to
achieve greater diversity not only in gender but also in matters of age, disability, ethnicity, marital or
family status, religious or cultural background, sexual orientation and gender identity within director
and senior executive positions as they become vacant and appropriately skilled candidates are
available.
Details of female representation in the company are set out below:
Number of women employees in the whole organisation
Number
8
%
57
The Company is not a “relevant employer” under the Workplace Gender Equality Act.
8. The Company has established an Audit Committee with an independent chairman Mr George Shad
and one other member who is an executive director. The board has established an Audit and Risk
Management Committee which provides assistance to the board in fulfilling the corporate governance
and oversight responsibilities of the board to verify and safeguard the integrity of the financial
reporting of the Company. During the financial year, the audit and risk committee met 2 times.
A formal charter of the audit and risk management committee has been approved by the Board a
copy of which can be viewed on the Company’s website (http://www.hitechaust.com).
As required by Section 250T of the Corporations Act 2001 the company's auditor attends annual
general meetings of the company and the chairman of those meetings allows a reasonable
opportunity for members to ask questions of the auditor concerning the conduct of the audit and the
preparation and content of the auditor's report.
9. The board requires the managing director and the employees who jointly perform the function of the
chief financial officer (CFO) to state in writing to the board that in their opinion, the financial records
of the entity have been properly maintained and that the financial statements comply with the
appropriate accounting standards and give a true and fair view of the financial position and
performance of the entity and that the opinion has been formed on the basis of a sound system of
risk management and internal control which is operating effectively.
10. The Company has established procedures designed to ensure compliance with the ASX Listing
Rules so that Company announcements are made in a timely manner, are factual, do not omit
material information and are expressed in a clear and objective manner that allows investors to
assess the impact of the information when making investment decisions.
Established policies which can be viewed on the Company’s website also ensure accountability at
a senior management level for ASX compliance. The Board approves all disclosures necessary to
ensure compliance with ASX Listing Rule disclosure requirements.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued)
11. The Company has a communications strategy and an established policy on stakeholder
communication and continuous disclosure to promote effective communication with shareholders,
subject to privacy laws and the need to act in the best interests of the Company by protecting
commercial information.
The Company’s policy on communication with shareholders is set out in the Company’s ‘Policy on
stakeholder communication and continuous disclosure’ which can be viewed on the Company’s
website
Investors are able to access information about the company and its governance via the company’s
website (https://www.hitechaust.com)
Investor relations
representatives of HiTech are available to meet with shareholders from time to time and respond to
queries addressed to our investor relations email address (info@hitechaust.com). Security holders
are able to send and receive communications electronically to the Company and our share registry
via our share registry, Computershare.
HiTech aims to actively engage with shareholders and other stakeholders at the Annual General
Meeting. At each AGM, discussion is encouraged regarding the performance of the company,
prospects, management and the board, and any other area of interest or concern. Security holders
who are unable to attend the AGM are able to ask questions and make comments ahead of the
meeting, for response both individually and as a discussion item at the AGM.

12. The board has established policies on risk oversight and management which may be viewed on the
Company website (https://www.hitechaust.com). The audit and risk committee oversees both the
audit and risk management of the company. Details of the composition, independence and
membership of the committee can be found under the section 4.1 of this document, as related to the
audit function of the committee, and the committee charter may be found on the HiTech website.
The board continually monitors areas of significant business risk with input from the audit and risk
committee. Practices have been established to ensure:
capital expenditure and revenue commitments above a certain size obtain prior Board
approval;
financial exposures are controlled, including the use of derivatives. Further details of the
Company’s policies relating to interest rate management, forward exchange rate
management and credit risk management are included in the financial statements;
occupational health and safety standards and management systems are monitored and
reviewed to achieve high standards of performance and compliance with regulations;
business transactions are properly authorised and executed;
the quality and integrity of personnel;
financial reporting accuracy and compliance with the financial reporting regulatory
framework; and
crisis management policies are in effect.
Systems of internal financial control have been put in place by the management of the Company
and are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute protection against fraud and material
misstatement. These controls are intended to identify, in a timely manner, control issues that require
attention by the board or audit and risk committee.
The board continually monitors the Company’s risk management framework and reviews the audit
and risk committee charter and policy on risk oversight and management annually to ensure that the
framework is robust. The Company’s risk management framework has been continuously monitored
throughout the year ended 30 June 2019, and revisions have been made as necessary on an
ongoing basis throughout the financial year.
The risk management and internal control processes of the Company are evaluated and monitored
for effectiveness by the audit and risk committee in conjunction with the board on an ongoing basis.
13. HiTech recognises the importance of ensuring the economic, environmental and social sustainability
of the Company. The board monitors sustainability issues and works closely with management to
establish best practices. The board has determined that there are no current material exposures to
economic, environmental and social sustainability risks.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued)
14. Due to the size of the Board, the Company does not have a remuneration committee. The functions
normally carried out by such a committee are currently handled by the whole Board.
The remuneration policy, which sets the terms and conditions for the chief executive officer and
other senior executive has been approved by the board. All executives receive a base salary,
superannuation and performance incentives. The board reviews executive packages annually by
reference to company performance, executive performance, comparable information from industry
sectors and other listed companies. Executives are entitled to participate in the employees share
option arrangements. The criteria used in determining the issue of options to management include
achievement of revenue and profit targets, new business generated, loyalty and years of service
plus other criteria.
Options are issued to Directors and Company Executives as part of their remuneration. The options
are not issued based on performance criteria, but are issued to all Directors and executives of the
Company to increase goal congruence among Directors, executives and shareholders
The amount of remuneration of all directors and executives, including all monetary and non-
monetary components, is detailed in the Director’s Report. All remuneration paid and options issued
to executives are valued at a cost to the Company and expensed. Options are valued using the
Black-Scholes methodology.
If a participant in equity-based remuneration scheme established by the Company enters into any
transactions (whether through the use of derivatives or otherwise) which is designed to limit the
economic risk of participating in the equity-based remuneration scheme:
(a) the participant must disclose details of the transaction to the Company Secretary;
(b) the Company Secretary will disclose to the Board all details of any such economic risk
management transactions.
The board expects that the remuneration structure implemented will result in the company being
able to attract and retain the best executives to run the economic entity. It will also provide executives
with the necessary incentives to work to grow long-term shareholder value.

Corporate structure
HiTech Group Australia Limited is a listed public company, limited by shares, and is incorporated and
domiciled in Australia. HiTech has prepared a consolidated financial report incorporating the entities
that it controlled during the financial year.
Nature of operations and principal activities
The consolidated entity’s principal activity during the financial year was the supply of recruitment
services for permanent and contract staff to the ICT sector.
During the financial year, there were no significant changes in the nature of these operations.
Group overview
The HiTech Group currently supplies permanent and contract staff from its large, personalised,
database of over 340,000 specialised ICT, Finance and Office Support professionals which has been
developed over the past 26 years. Its main business comes from IT contracting/consulting.
The HiTech client base is well established, with strong representation by technology companies,
banking/financial services companies plus Federal & State Government departments and agencies.
HiTech has also entered into preferred supplier agreements for the supply of staff in both the public and
private sectors.

Operating and financial review
Operating results
For the financial year ended 30 June 2019, the consolidated entity’s operating revenue is $30,284,662
an increase of 15% over the previous corresponding period (pcp):
EBITDA is $4089,810, an increase of 10% over pcp
Gross Profit is $5,777,819, an increase of 9% over pcp (FY18: $5,279,899).
NPAT is $2,898,316, an increase of 13% over pcp
Basic and Diluted EPS is 7.62 cents, an increase of 13% over pcp
Our Net Tangible Assets (NTA) is $0.19 per share.
Permanent recruitment comprises the search and selection of candidates for full time employment. ICT
contracting, comprising the provision of ICT professionals for temporary and other non-permanent
staffing needs of clients for specific projects has continued to supply HiTech with strong recurring cash
flow.
HiTech’s recruitment business is broadly based in the ICT sector and operates across the full range of
ICT services, including digital transformation, systems development, infrastructure architecture & cloud
integration, operations, support and project management. As the digital transformation cycle gains
momentum, there is a growing need for skilled ICT professionals, especially in the digital specialisation
space. HiTech is addressing the demand for specialised ICT skills by making use of its database and
comprehensive contacts internationally.
We have scope to grow our revenue by further developing our other divisions including; office support,
sales and finance. Whilst this diversification remains minor in comparison to ICT consulting and
recruitment, it allows us to potentially grow our earnings further.
HiTech’s reputation for top quality service and the provision of the best talent available, has resulted in
HiTech establishing a small but successful niche market position. The demand for quality technical
candidates has increased over the past 12 months.
HiTech’s market share of the total multibillion dollar Australian consulting & recruitment market is
relatively small. This represents a huge growth potential for the group. HiTech is focused on servicing
existing clients by providing a complete recruitment and ICT service solution in addition to contracting.
As HiTech’s core competency is in recruitment & talent acquisition, our strategy is to build on our
existing client base and maximise revenue from existing clients by effectively providing personnel to not
only the ICT sector but also to other sectors such as administration and office support, sales and
marketing, and finance. There is also a possibility of broadening the consolidated entity’s operations
into geographical markets in which HiTech operates.
We are working towards winning new business and ensuring that operating costs are kept to a
minimum.
Future developments, prospects and business strategies
The FY2020 growth will depend on the prevailing economic conditions at the time. There are signs of
continuing business confidence coming into the market. The most significant areas for us will be the
continuation of an increase in job vacancies in ICT including cloud & cyber security requirements.
Skilled professionals of top quality remain in short supply. We cannot, at this point, forecast with any
certainty the results of next year. The directors’ main objective will be organic growth in the consolidated
entity’s core business and further enhancing existing client business.
Significant Changes in state of affairs
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial
year.
Events subsequent to reporting date
The directors declared a fully franked final dividend of 4 cents per share. The dividend was paid on 12
September 2019 to shareholders registered on close of business on 29 August 2018. (Note 18)

law of the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory.

To the Members of the HiTech Group Australia Limited
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of HiTech Group Australia Limited (the company and its
subsidiaries (the Group)), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30
June 2019, the consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income,
consolidated statement of changes in equity and 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 2019 and of its
financial performance for the year then ended; and
ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis of 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 and Ethical Standards Board APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional
Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the
time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.
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 financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide
a separate opinion on these matters.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report
The directors 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 presentation 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 Group’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibility 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 individually or in the aggregate, that could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our representation of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report
is
located at The Australian Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:
http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These
policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the
consolidated entity consisting of HiTech Group Australia Limited and its subsidiaries.
(a)
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting
Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting
Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial report was authorised for issue on 18 September 2019 by the Board of Directors.
(i)
Compliance with IFRS
The consolidated financial statements of the HiTech Group Australia Limited Group also comply with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
(ii)
Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified where applicable
by the measurement at fair value of selected financial assets and financial liabilities.
(b)
Financial report prepared on a going concern basis
The Directors believe that it is appropriate to prepare the financial report on a going concern basis because
a) The Group had $5,927,690 in cash at 30 June 2019;
b) The Group has budgeted for sales in FY2020 at the same level of FY2019 with expected new contracting income from
NSW Government contracts.
(c)
Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of HiTech Group Australia
Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2019 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. HiTech
Group Australia Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the group or the consolidated
entity.
Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the group has the power to govern the financial
and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence
and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether
the group controls another entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are de-consolidated
from the date that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the group.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred.
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted
by the group.
(d)
Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision
maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the
operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors.

HiTech Group Australia Limited and Controlled Entities
A.B.N. 41 062 067 878
(e)
Revenue recognition
The group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic
benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the group's activities as described below. The
group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and
the specifics of each arrangement.
Revenue for the rendering of contracting and consulting services is recognised upon delivery of the service to the client
while permanent placement fees are brought to account at the time of placement rather than the day of commencement of
work. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue
are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the group reduces the
carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest
rate of the instrument and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans is
recognised using the original effective interest rate.
All Australian revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
Dividends are recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment is established. This applies even if they are paid
out of pre-acquisition profits. However, the investment may need to be tested for impairment as a consequence, refer to
note 1(k).
(f)
Income tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the
applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to
temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the
reporting period in the countries where the company's subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income.
It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases
of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities
are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it
arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of
the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and
laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when
the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases
of investments in foreign operations where the company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary
differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and
liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.
Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either
to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
HiTech Group Australia and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have not implemented the tax consolidation
legislation.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or
directly in equity, respectively.
(g)
Leases
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the group as lessee are
classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor)
are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
(h)
Impairment of assets
Goodwill and 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 assets
are tested 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. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes
of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows
which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-
financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the
end of each reporting period.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(i)
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits
held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or
less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in
value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial
position.
Trade receivables
(j)
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. They are
presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the reporting date.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written
off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account (provision for impairment of trade receivables) is used
when there is objective evidence that the group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms
of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial
reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the
trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset's carrying amount
and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating
to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.
The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which
an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the
allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in profit
or loss.
Investments and other financial assets
(k)
Classification
The group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans
and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the
purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial
recognition and, in the case of assets classified as held-to-maturity, re-evaluates this designation at the end of each
reporting date.
(i)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified
in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are classified as held
for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they
are expected to be settled within 12 months; otherwise they are classified as non-current.
(ii)
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted
in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months
after the reporting period which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in trade
and other receivables (note 8) and receivables in the statement of financial position.
Financial assets – reclassification
The group may choose to reclassify a non-derivative trading financial asset out of the held for trading category if the
financial asset is no longer held for the purpose of selling it in the near term. Financial assets other than loans and
receivables are permitted to be reclassified out of the held for trading category only in rare circumstances arising from a
single event that is unusual and highly unlikely to recur in the near term. In addition, the group may choose to reclassify
financial assets that would meet the definition of loans and receivables out of the held for trading or available-for-sale
categories if the group has the intention and ability to hold these financial assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity
at the date of reclassification.
(l)
Investments and other financial assets (continued)
Reclassifications are made at fair value as of the reclassification date. Fair value becomes the new cost or amortised cost
as applicable, and no reversals of fair value gains or losses recorded before reclassification date are subsequently made.
Effective interest rates for financial assets reclassified to loans and receivables and held-to-maturity categories are
determined at the reclassification date. Further increases in estimates of cash flows adjust effective interest rates
prospectively.
Recognition and derecognition
Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date – the date on which the group commits to purchase
or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have
expired or have been transferred and the group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When
securities classified as available-for-sale are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in other
comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss as gains and losses from investment securities.

A.B.N. 41 062 067 878
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Measurement
At initial recognition, the group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair
value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective
interest method.
Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair
value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss'
category are presented in profit or loss within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise.
Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss as part of revenue
from continuing operations when the group's right to receive payments is established. Interest income from these financial
assets is included in the net gains/(losses).
Impairment
The group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group
of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are
incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial
recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of
the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. In the case of equity investments classified
as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered an
indicator that the assets are impaired.
Impairment testing of trade receivables is described in note 1(j).
(m)
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly
attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only
when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item
can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when
replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are
incurred.
Depreciation is calculated on a diminishing balance or straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net
of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of
either the expired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The following estimated useful
lives are used in the calculation of depreciation:
Plant and equipment
Motor vehicles
Useful Life
3-5 years
5 years
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater
than its estimated recoverable amount (note 1(h)).
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit
or loss. When revalued assets are sold, it is group policy to transfer any amounts included in other reserves in respect of
those assets to retained earnings.
(n)
Intangible assets
Costs incurred in developing products or systems and costs incurred in acquiring software and licenses that will contribute
to future period financial benefits through revenue generation and/or cost reduction are capitalised to the Non-current asset
– Intangible Assets (Note 12). Costs capitalised include external direct costs of materials and service, direct payroll and
payroll related costs of employees’ time spent on the project. Amortisation is calculated on a diminishing balance basis
at 40% per annum.
(o)
Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the group prior to the end of financial year which
are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are
presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date. They are recognised
initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
(p)
Employee benefits
(i)
Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits plus annual leave and long service leave expected
to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are
recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts
expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liability for annual leave is recognised in the provision for
employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables.
Page 31 of 45
HiTech Group Australia Limited and Controlled Entities
A.B.N. 41 062 067 878
(ii) Share-based payments
Share-based compensation benefits may be provided to directors, employees and company consultants.
The fair value of shares or options granted is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding
increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the
shares/options granted, which includes any market performance conditions and the impact of any non-vesting
conditions but excludes the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions.
Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are
expected to vest. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the
specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the
number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing vesting conditions. It recognises the impact
of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity
(q)
Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are
shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(r)
Earnings per share
(i)
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the company, excluding any
costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding
during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into
account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary
shares; and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming
the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(s) Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except, where the
amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised
as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of expense. Receivables and payables in the balance
sheet are shown inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is
included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis except for the GST component of cash flows
arising from investing and financing activities which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(t)
Comparative figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation
for the current financial year.
(u)
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and
best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current
trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group.
Key estimates – Impairment
The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the group that may lead to
impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-
use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.
The Group’s financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading and are shares in listed
entities which are recorded at fair value at balance date being the closing market bid price on that day. Impairment gains
during the reporting period have been recorded as other income in the statement of comprehensive income.
Key judgements – impairment of receivables
The directors have reviewed outstanding debtors as at 30 June 2019 and have formed the opinion that all debtors
outstanding are collectible and have therefore decided that a provision for impairment should not be made. The major
portion of debtors outstanding at balance date was with Australian Government departments with little or no risk of default.
(v)
Parent entity financial information
The financial information for the parent entity, HiTech Group Australia Limited, disclosed in Note 25 has been prepared on
the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below,
Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of HiTech Group Australia Limited.
(w)
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
Page 32 of 45
HiTech Group Australia Limited and Controlled Entities
A.B.N. 41 062 067 878
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2019
reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. The Group's assessment of the impact of these new
standards and interpretations is set out below.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
AASB 9 Financial Instruments and applicable amendments, effective from 1 January 2018, addresses the classification,
measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. This standard introduces new classification and
measurement models for financial assets, using a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at
amortised cost or fair value. It has now also introduced revised rules around hedge accounting and impairment. The Group
will adopt this standard and the amendments from 1 July 2019 and it does not expect this to have a significant impact on
the recognition and measurement of the Group's financial instruments. The derecognition rules have not been changed
from the previous requirements and the Group does not apply hedge accounting.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard provides a
single standard for revenue recognition. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when
control of a good or service transfers to a customer. The standard permits either a full retrospective or a modified
retrospective approach for its adoption. The standard will require contracts to be identified, together with the separate
performance obligations within the contract. The transaction price will be determined adjusted for the time value of money.
Revenue is recognised when each performance obligation is satisfied. For goods, the performance obligation would be
satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods. Contracts with customers will be presented in an entity's
statement of financial position as a contract liability, a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship
between the entity's performance and the customer's payment. The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 and
the impact of its adoption is expected to be minimal on the Group.
AASB 16 Leases
AASB 16 Leases was released in February 2016 and is mandatory for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020. The
new standard introduces a single lessee accounting model that will require a lessee to recognise right-of-use assets and
lease liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Right-of-use
assets are initially measured at their cost and lease liabilities are initially measured on a present value basis. Subsequent
to initial recognition:
- Right-of-use assets are accounted for on a similar basis to non-financial assets, whereby the right-of-use asset is
accounted for in accordance with a cost model unless the underlying asset is accounted for on a revaluation basis; and
- Lease liabilities are accounted for on a similar basis as other financial liabilities, whereby interest expense is recognised
in respect of the liability and the carrying amount of the liability is reduced to reflect lease payments made.
The standard will affect primarily the accounting for the company’s operating leases. As at the reporting date, the company
has non-cancellable operating lease commitments of $692,559, see note 22. As at 30 June 2019 if AASB 16 Leases was
adopted the disclosure would be as follows:
Right of use assets
$692,559
Lease liability
Current

NOTE 2: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Groups activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity
risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential
adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which
it is exposed. These methods include analysing the effect of interest rate rises, and other price risks, aging analysis for credit risk and
comparison of the investment portfolios against the ASX All Ordinaries Index to determine market risk.
Risk management is carried out by management under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board provides written principles
for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas including interest rate risk, credit risk, and investment of excess
liquidity. The groups functional and presentation currency is the Australian dollars and the Group has no foreign exchange dealings and
therefore does not use derivative financial instruments.
The total for each category of financial instruments, measured in accordance with AASB 139 as detailed in the accounting policies to these
financial statements, are as follows:

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to
customers as outstanding receivables. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating
of ‘A’ are accepted. If customers are independently rated, these ratings are used. Otherwise, if there is no independent rating, risk
control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Group. The compliance with
credit limits by customers is regularly monitored by line management. Sales to customers are required to be settled in cash,
mitigating credit risk.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets as summarised.
The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available)
or to historical information about counterparty default rates:

Group 2 — existing customers (more than 6 months) with no defaults in the past
Group 3 — existing customers (more than 6 months) with some defaults in the past. The default was not recovered.
(b)Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an
adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. The Group manages liquidity risk by
continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Surplus funds
are generally only invested in instruments that are tradeable in highly liquid markets
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations
related to financial Liabilities. The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:
•
•
•
•
preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational and financing activities;
Ensuring that adequate capital raising activities are undertaken;
maintaining a reputable credit profile; and
investing surplus cash only with major financial institutions.
The Group has no long term financial liabilities and uses existing cash and funds generated from operations to balance cash flow
requirements.
All financial liabilities are due to be settled in less than one year.

$ $
Due not later than one year 138,512 148,141
Due later than one year and not later than five years

692,559 675,047
Recognition and measurement
Transactions are classified as contingent liabilities where the company’s obligations depend on uncertain future events and
principally consist of obligations to third parties.
Items are classified as commitments where the company has irrevocably committed itself to future transactions. These transactions
will either result in the recognition of an asset or liability in future periods.
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception
date. The arrangement is assessed for whether fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets
or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.
Company as a lease
Operation lease payments are recognised as an operating expense in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line
basis over the lease term.

(i) Earnings used in the calculation of basic earnings per share are net profit after tax as per the income statement.
(ii) The options outstanding are considered to be potential ordinary shares and therefore have not been included in the
determination of basic earnings per share. Where dilutive, these potential ordinary shares are included in the determination
of diluted earnings per share on the basis that each option will convert to one ordinary share (refer below).
NOTE 29: SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
Employee option plan
The Company has established an employee share option plan in respect of which share options may be issued to participating
employees and executive directors. Options issued to directors are approved by shareholders at annual general meetings.
The directors consider that the option plan provides employees and directors invited to take part in the plan, with an opportunity
and an incentive to participate in the company’s future growth and success.
The allocation of options to an employee or directors under the option plan is based on his or her potential future contributions to
the growth and profitability of the company. Options generally lapse on the employee’s resignation or termination.
When the options are converted to shares they carry full dividend and voting rights.
The closing share price of an ordinary share of HiTech Group Australia Limited on the Australian Stock Exchange at 30 June 2019
was $1.00.
